Chapter 169: Material transaction, receiving donated sea chart, Lu Feng fights against giant octopus!
Lu Feng made steady progress in practicing the Black Water Technique.
After collecting the prices of water materials from the Dongmu Chamber of Commerce, Lu Feng had a clear idea of them.
After calculating the date accurately, Lu Feng picked a free day in the Verdant Tower when there was nothing to do, and returned to the Trandi secondary continent through the teleportation array in the room.
After asking Annie, I learned that Ludens' Thunder had indeed arrived at the Port of Dillens on the Trandi sub-continent in the past two days and was trading with the Red Leaf Tower.
Seeing this, Lu Feng set up a black cloud and flew directly towards Port Dillens.
Not long after, Lu Feng saw the huge ship docked in Dillens Port from the clouds.
Pressing down the cloud, Lu Feng landed on the Thunder.
As soon as he got on board the Thunder, Ludens appeared on the deck of the Thunder, smiling and warmly welcoming Lu Feng.
"Wizard Rest, welcome, welcome. I thought you had gone back to the Botanical Garden and would never come back!"
Listening to Ludens's teasing, Lu Feng smiled and said, "How could I do that? I can't bear to abandon this secondary continent, so I temporarily borrowed a teleportation array from the Verdant Tower, and come back from time to time to take care of the remains here."
"Teleportation array, hiss!"
Hearing about the teleportation array, Ludens took a breath and said in surprise:
"The Green Tower you work for is really generous. In order to let you go back, they even lent you a teleportation array temporarily. But it's true, with your strength, you deserve such generous treatment."
There was a sour taste of lemon in Ludens' words.
Lu Feng could only smile at Ludens's reaction.
The Verdant Tower was indeed luxurious, but some things were not what Ludens had imagined. Ms. Natasha temporarily lent Lu Feng the teleportation array just to allow Lu Feng to work in the Verdant Tower with peace of mind.
Since Lu Feng had received the benefits, he naturally had to work hard for the Cangcui Tower. Gains and rewards are relative.
After chatting with Ludens for a while, Lu Feng explained his purpose and asked about the price of water materials on the Thunder.
"The water materials on my ship are all collected by the Thunder during its voyage. Rest, if you can help me deal with some of them, that would be the best. It can save me a lot of cabin space and allow me to carry more goods back to Trudeau Continent! Don't worry, my price is definitely cheaper than what you can buy from those chambers of commerce on Trudeau Continent. After all, there is no chamber of commerce as a middleman, so it is much cheaper."
In response to Lu Feng's question, Ludens patted his chest and assured him.
He ordered his men to bring a list of goods, on which the selling prices were marked according to Lu Feng's needs. Lu Feng took it and looked through it. After eliminating the difference earned by the middlemen and reducing some of the costs of ocean transportation, the price of water materials in Ludens for the same goods was 50% to 60% lower than the price offered by the Dongmu Chamber of Commerce.
However, the amount of water materials collected by a ship called Thunder during its ocean voyage was limited and scattered, not as complete and large in quantity as those provided by the Dongmu Chamber of Commerce.
However, Lu Feng didn't care about the types of water materials. It didn't matter if there were many types. As long as the price was cheap and the quantity was piled up, it would be fine. In the end, his Qingmu Spirit Realm would collect the water vapor, refine it and absorb it anyway.
After some negotiation, Lu Feng used eight thousand magic stones to directly clear out the water materials in the cabin of the Thunder. It was a win-win situation for both parties, and Ludens couldn't stop smiling.
"Rester, you've done me a big favor this time. Now that part of the cabin has been cleared out, I can collect a lot of materials when I sail further!"
Ludens thanked him, and suddenly remembered something. He took out a blueprint from the space pocket on his waist and said to Lu Feng:
"Rester, I see you've been buying a lot of water-related materials. I think you have some needs. I have a nearby sea map with some water-related material resource points marked on it. If you really need them, you can go check them out!"
"Nearby sea charts, water resource points!"
Lu Feng was surprised to hear what Ludens said.
Ludens was actually willing to share something like a nautical chart with him?
For captains like Ludens, sea charts are the foundation of their survival, and resource points are the cradle of their money.
Do you really think that the various materials in the deep sea are weeds on the edge of the field that you can pull up whenever you want? They are the crops they planted in the sea!
"This, Ludens, the sea chart is too expensive! I can't afford the magic stones to buy this sea chart!" Lu Feng told the truth and refused.
"It's okay. This sea chart only shows a small circle of resource points near the Trandi sub-continent. They are not large and not valuable. Just think of it as a gift from me, Ludens, as we have been friends for many years. I don't want your magic stones!"
Ludens forcefully stuffed the nautical chart into Lu Feng's hands, laughed loudly, and said generously.
Faced with Ludens' tough attitude, Lu Feng could not refuse and finally accepted this "precious" nautical chart.
After receiving the sea chart, the friendship between Lu Feng and Ludens was further strengthened.
A few days later, amid the sound of heavy bells, the Thunder left the port of Dillens.
Lu Feng watched the Thunder leave. Beside him, Annie brought some wizards from the Red Leaf Tower to Port Dillons.
"Master, we have studied the sea charts given by Lord Ludens. Except for a few places marked with formal wizard-level extraordinary magical beasts, we are confident that we can collect and harvest resources from other resource points with the strength of our Red Leaf Tower!"
Annie stood beside Lu Feng and reported.
As soon as Lu Feng got the sea chart, he notified Hongye Tower.
Thanks to the research of Annie and many wizard apprentices from the Red Leaf Tower, they have figured out most of the resource points on the nautical chart, planned routes, and are now able to collect resources.
"Um!"
After listening to Annie's report, Lu Feng nodded and said:
"No problem. You can prepare your ships and go out to sea to collect materials. I will go ahead and remove the monsters that may threaten your safety on the route, so that you can collect materials regularly in the future."
The ships of the Red Leaf Tower were all contributions from the major families under its command. They were not at the same level as the Thunder. They were OK for sailing in the waters near the Trandi sub-continent, but there was no chance of crossing the Storm Sea.
However, although their ships are a little inferior, they can still collect some safe resource points according to the routes on the nautical chart.
In order to ensure a stable supply of water resources for the Red Leaf Tower in the future, Lu Feng didn't mind moving his body to clear some obstacles and dangers for the Red Leaf Tower.
After taking the nautical chart back from Annie and memorizing the results of their research, Lu Feng set off into the sky with black clouds.
The salty and humid sea breeze blew across the surface, and Lu Feng sat on the top of the clouds, paying attention to the direction in the sea.
Soon, they found a rocky island standing above the sea.
There were tall trees on the island, and countless bird houses woven from grass and wood. Ferocious-looking harpies flew in and out of the bird houses, making a loud noise.
"The first dangerous spot is a harpy tribe. There are many harpies with extraordinary powers entrenched here. There are so many of them that they harass passing ships!"
Lu Feng still remembered that when he first returned to the Trandi sub-continent on the Thunder, he was attacked by harpies near the coast.
"There's nothing to say, just massacre this tribe!"
Lu Feng had a cold expression on his face. He didn't have a good impression of the harpy, a monster that was inherently evil, and he showed no mercy when he attacked it.
Standing above the clouds, Lu Feng waved his hand, and fifty-four red fire seeds fell from his hand.
The red flames left Lu Feng's body and grew against the wind. After a few breaths, they turned into two-legged flying dragons with fiery red scales and scorching breath.
These are the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers that Lu Feng refined using the two-legged flying dragon.
Each of these fire dragon Taoist soldiers trained from wyverns is almost as strong as a third-class wizard apprentice. They have a powerful aura and can fly, making them just right for dealing with these harpies.
Fifty-four two-legged flying dragons lined up in a formation, flapped their wings, and roared down.
On the island reef, in the harpy tribe, many harpies had just returned from hunting. The corpses of sea fish and sea beasts were piled up in the tribe. A group of harpies were gnawing on the fresh flesh and blood like wild beasts.
Suddenly, the sky darkened and a huge shadow covered the sky.
The harpies noticed something unusual and looked up at the sky, only to see balls of red fire spewing out of the mouths of ferocious-looking two-legged dragons.
“Chichi!”
The harpies spotted the enemy and screamed and called for their companions, but at this time the wyvern bombing column had already roared down, and fireballs fell on the harpies' heads like raindrops.
Boom boom boom!
Bursts of fire explosions were heard, and a raging fire broke out in the harpy tribe, followed by the hissing and screaming of countless harpies.
Many brave harpy warriors wanted to flap their wings and fly into the sky to fight back against the wyverns.
But the wyvern was no pushover. Before the harpy could get close to the wyvern, it was shot down by the flames from its mouth. It fell wailing into the sea of fire below, dying a miserable death.
Under the joint siege of more than fifty wyverns, the harpy tribe on this island was quickly wiped out.
"Done! Clean up the battlefield and move on to the next place!"
In order to annihilate the Harpy Tribe, Lu Feng used the Fire Spirit Veins to absorb all the fires on the islands and reefs, and then sent out the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield.
The harpy's nest was built with dry grass and wood. After a big fire, everything in the nest was burned to ashes.
The Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers cleaned up and collected more than a hundred magic stones of spoils from the ruins.
Something is better than nothing, Lu Feng didn't care about such a small amount of spoils. After putting them into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, he directly flew up on the cloud and rushed to the next dangerous point.
While clearing along the way, Lu Feng saw many tribes and monsters living in the sea.
The shallow sea murloc tribe consists of blue-skinned murlocs living in the water who like to attack passing ships underwater.
Lu Feng left behind the white snake that had cultivated successfully in the spiritual realm, and cooperated with the two-legged dragon bombing team to surround the murloc tribe and harvested a large number of murloc corpses.
Hard-shelled sea crab, a sea monster found in large numbers in a bay.
Each sea crab is as big as a small house. Although they cannot cast blood spells, their huge size alone is enough to pose a threat to passing ships.
The sea crab that can't cast spells poses no threat to Lu Feng.
With a wave of his hand, he activated several Taibai Gengjin sword energies and killed the whole family of sea crabs. He then put them into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm as a snack for the creatures in the spiritual realm.
Of course, Lufeng's cleaning process was not smooth.
Near the deep sea, Lu Feng encountered a blue-ringed giant seal that could be called a monster.
This giant octopus is hundreds of meters long, and its tentacles alone can overturn a ship.
This giant octopus monster is quite intelligent and has mastered some bloodline spells. Its strength is comparable to that of a formal wizard.
"Little octopus, I advise you to surrender quickly! I am in a good mood and can even take you in as my subordinate!"
Lu Feng stood on the black cloud, looked at the octopus in the sea, and persuaded.
A giant octopus, a first-level formal wizard-level water-based sea beast. The first time Lu Feng saw it, he made up his mind to bring it into his Qingmu Spirit Realm.
As for whether this giant octopus monster will enter dead or alive, it depends on its luck.
Having multiple thugs alive is a good partner for experimenting with your skills.
Even if he died, the water energy contained in his huge body would definitely be able to replenish Lu Feng's Qingmu Spirit Realm.
The sound of Lu Feng spread into the water.
Hearing Lu Feng's shouting, a human-like mocking expression appeared in the giant octopus's eyes.
It has lived in this sea area for at least hundreds of years and has seen many wizards, even official wizards who can operate ships.
But till now, it is still alive and well in this sea area.
The giant octopus is full of confidence in his own strength.
In its mind, Lu Feng was probably just like the wizard who had disturbed its rest before. At most, he was flying in the air, far away from the water, and talking nonsense.
If he really dared to enter the sea, the giant octopus would definitely let Lu Feng see what power is.
Seeing that the giant octopus monster remained indifferent, Lu Feng moved, fell from the cloud, and pounced directly towards the giant octopus monster.
boom!
Seeing Lu Feng rushing towards him, the giant octopus monster also became angry. Its tentacles twisted in the sea water like pillars supporting the sky, rolling up large amounts of sea water and pulling them towards Lu Feng.
“Good job!”
Lu Feng let out a low shout, and the light and shadow of the Qingmu Spirit Realm appeared behind him.
A thick, solid piece of land stood in front of Lu Feng like a reef, colliding with the giant octopus's tentacles that carried tremendous power.
There was a deafening thunder and splashing water everywhere.
Under the defense of the power of the earth in the Qingmu Spirit Realm, Lu Feng remained motionless, but the soft attack of the octopus monster was like hitting a hard stone. The recoil force made the intense pain sweep back and stimulated the nerves of the octopus monster.
What a strong defense!
In the painful stimulation, the giant octopus' eyes turned red, and it twisted more tentacles and swung them towards Lu Feng.
"You have good strength. The magic shields of ordinary wizards are not very good at withstanding such tentacle blows. Unfortunately, you met me. The one you are fighting is not a wizard, but a huge world! If you calculate it, my size is several times bigger than yours."
Lu Feng hummed in his heart, and easily activated the Qingmu Spirit Realm to block the attack of the octopus monster's tentacles. At the same time, white jade-like roots of energy-absorbing ancient tree seedlings stretched out from the light and shadow of the spirit realm behind Lu Feng.
"You like tentacles? Try my roots too."
