When the huge waves subsided and the dark sea returned to calm, the fleet that had blocked the route disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yuanqing looked into the distance, concentrating his mind, and saw nothing unusual in his vision, nor did he detect any eerie ghostly aura. He heaved a sigh of relief and said:
"The crisis has been temporarily resolved."
"Huh!" Everyone breathed out silently, their tense bodies relaxed, and they still felt a bit shocked when they thought about the overwhelming bombardment just now.
If it weren't for the fact that scholar Xiahou Aotian had a wealthy family, their boats and vehicles would have sunk in the previous wave of attacks. They had already experienced a crisis at the very beginning.
It is worthy of being an S-level copy.
“What a brilliant monkey!” Brother Red Chicken did not hesitate to praise.
Xiahou Aotian let out a "huh", raised his chin proudly, and said:
"In all stories, the protagonist is always the one who turns the tide and plays the biggest role, while the supporting characters only need to admire the protagonist. I, Xiahou Aotian, am a natural protagonist and your support. Here, I want to especially praise Yuanshi Tianzun. Although he was idle the whole time and didn't play a big role, the necklace he gave me allowed me to avoid several attacks and successfully assemble a counterattack cannon."
Immediately, his eyes swept over Yin Ji and Xia Shu Zhi Lian, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You two are good-looking, try to please me, there will be a place for you in my harem."
Then, he looked at the Free Eagle and said:
"You can't. You were born in the beautiful federation, but you are not beautiful enough."
The corners of Freedom Eagle's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he clenched and unclenched his fists, and then clenched and unclenched them again.
Xia Shuzhilian took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Yin Ji turned her head and cast her gaze towards the quiet and deep sea, as if she was afraid that she could not help but hit him.
"This guy's condition seems to have worsened?" Brother Hongji was obviously a fire master with some brains. After comparing the past and the present, he cleverly judged that Xiahou Aotian's second-year syndrome had worsened.
The condition has indeed worsened. The lucky necklace and the second-year syndrome are so embarrassing that it makes people dig a seabed under their feet. Which normal person would have a harem in a level 1 dungeon... Zhang Yuanqing coughed and said:
"Then, the protagonist, please return the necklace to me."
Xiahou Aotian frowned and said unhappily:
“Yuanshi Tianzun, you have no awareness of being a supporting role at all. You should give the props to me and then pray for my blessing so that you can successfully join and become a member of the protagonist group.
"Forget it. It's you who missed the chance anyway."
He didn't shamelessly take the prop and took off his lucky necklace and threw it over.
It can be seen that there is still a certain moral bottom line.
Zhang Yuanqing took the necklace and returned it to his inventory.
Having lost his lucky necklace, Xiahou Aotian recalled what he had just said and his expression suddenly froze.
Even he, who prides himself on being the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic, found those words somewhat shameful.
However, without the lucky necklace, he was reminded of something extremely important.
The cannon itself is not valuable; what is valuable is the energy pack, which is a strategic-level equipment that the Xiahou family prepays to the saint-level members of the family.
The energy packs at 80 million are too expensive, and the family is reluctant to give them directly to the outstanding younger generations. After all, the finances cannot afford it, but they cannot help but give them a trump card.
Therefore, the black-hearted elders of the clan suddenly came up with an idea to give it in advance to the younger generations of the clan.
What is an advance?
When you are not using it, the energy pack seems to be yours. Once you use it, you have to pay the family 80 million in usage fees.
What does 80 million mean? That is the price of a top-grade item in the Saint Realm, and that is the annual revenue of a medium-sized enterprise.
Although Xiahou Aotian has a lot of props, they are all real estate, and there are only a few props that are truly worth over 10 million, so it is impossible to sell them.
He had to sell many extraordinary props, as well as real estate, stocks, etc. in the real world, to pay such a huge sum of cash.
Therefore, Xiahou Aotian wanted to discuss with his teammates to see if they could share the cost.
But just now he was boasting that he wanted to start a harem and recruit younger brothers, and now he turns around and asks others to split the bill. It's really embarrassing.
In the end, money trumped face. Xiahou Aotian made up his mind, cleared his throat, and said:
"Well, I want to discuss something with you all. Um, um, can you share the cost of the energy pack? After we leave the spiritual realm, each of you will transfer 8 million to me?"
"Don't worry, you won't lose anything. I took the 32 million alone."
After saying that, he looked at everyone expectantly.
Everyone pretended to look around at the scenery, as if they hadn't heard what he said.
Freedom Eagle sneered: "What a lowly protagonist!"
Xiahou Aotian's handsome face flushed red, he clenched his teeth, turned silently and walked to the stern, and sailed away.
The parked boat started again. Because Yin Ji lost many spirit servants, there were not enough people. Zhang Yuanqing summoned the ghost bride and the little funny guy and ordered the mother and son to act as sailors.
The little funny boy with sparse hair opened his big innocent eyes and was carried by the ghost bride to step on the wheel with a confused look on his face.
"Sister Yunmeng, my spiritual energy has been depleted too much. Please give me a massage." Brother Hongji walked up to the girl from the Qinghe tribe very familiarly and made an excessive request.
"Ma, massage?" Yun Meng was a little confused and at a loss.
"Cure!" Zhang Yuanqing suggested.
"Oh oh!" Yun Meng suddenly realized, and hurriedly raised her little hand and pressed it on Brother Hongji's shoulder. A soft green light lit up, and penetrated into Brother Hongji's body, making him so comfortable that he almost moaned.
Zhang Yuanqing and others did not need treatment because their consumption was not too great.
Everyone stood on the devastated deck, each looking in one direction, keeping an eye on the sea.
At this time, the vehicles and boats have moved far away from the coast. Looking into the distance, one can vaguely see the tiny outline of Yashan Island in the lake.
It would take at least another hour to reach the island, and the next wave of danger should be coming soon... Zhang Yuanqing estimated the distance and made a judgment in his mind.
Although Xiahou Aotian used his nitrogen gold ability to destroy the fleet blocking the sea, Zhang Yuanqing did not think that the fleet was the main mission ghost ship mentioned by the Demon Lord.
Because it's too simple.
The previous team may not have Xiahou Aotian’s cannon, but since they can match the advanced dungeon, I think everyone in them must be an elite, including geniuses like Mo Jun, and they also have important props from the Jianghuai branch and the Xie family.
It's not difficult to deal with a fleet.
Therefore, the real ghost ship did not appear. Zhang Yuanqing had a lot of thoughts and wanted to use the Demon Pestle again.
Should I take out the Demon Subduing Pestle and beg the Queen to end the dungeon now, or wait until there is danger before taking it out? Wait a little longer and see what danger I will encounter next. Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself silently.
At this time, Brother Red Chicken held the side of the boat, retracted his gaze, looked at the Free Eagle, and said:
"Banana Man, what does the executive officer of Heaven's Punishment do?"
Perhaps because of a past friendship, Freedom Eagle snorted coldly and said in a foreign language:
"The duty of the executive officer is to enforce the laws of the Heavenly Punishment Organization. Anyone who violates the law will be punished, regardless of whether they are lawful or evil. All living beings under the sky are subject to our jurisdiction."
"What do you mean?" Brother Red Chicken didn't understand.
"They are the Jinyiwei, the emperor's lackeys." Localized translation by Zhang Yuanqing.
Brother Red Chicken suddenly realized.
Free Eagle glanced at the young genius of the Five Elements Alliance with some dissatisfaction.
Xia Shuzhilian added:
"The Executioners are a group represented by wind mages. The Sky Punishment Organization was originally composed of two major professions, wind mages and thunder mages. Wind mages are good at speed and flying, and have considerable lethality. They form the Executioner Department, responsible for chasing, arresting, and killing the enemy."
"Master Lei has a strong and domineering temperament. He is known for his incorruptibility. He has set up a prosecutorial department to catch those who violate laws and disciplines. Of course, incorruptibility is relative. We can only say that this group is relatively upright, but don't imagine them as Justice Bao."
Freedom Eagle said proudly:
"Sky Punishment is the most powerful and largest organization in the world. It has the spirit of embracing all. Any lawful profession that joins Sky Punishment can shine. This is something that the Five Elements Alliance, which is dominated by bureaucracy and relationshipism, cannot compare to."
Xia Shuzhilian said calmly: "It is true that the sea can accommodate all rivers, but it is also true that it can harbor filth and dirt."
Freedom Eagle snorted, "There's an old saying in your country, 'A big forest has all kinds of birds.' Is it true that everyone in the Five Elements Alliance obeys the law? Don't say that I, Yuanshi Tianzun, would be the first one to disagree, right?"
Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a while, then revealed a devilish cold smile: "You are right, so I want to cleanse the world!"
Several saints nearby were actually startled by his smile.
Zhang Yuanqing laughed and said, "It was just a joke, I was imitating the Demon Eye King.
Brother Red Chicken was frightened and was stunned:
"Although I have never seen the King of Demonic Eyes, your smile just now was really evil."
The Eagle of Freedom looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and frowned:
"Are you mentally ill? You looked exactly like the paranoid people I've seen before. This is not something a normal person can fake."
Brother Red Chicken habitually sang a different tune and said, "I think it's heat. I'll make you some soup later to help you cool down."
Upon hearing this, Yin Ji, who was not very sociable, turned around and looked at Yuanshi Tianzun carefully.
But at this time, Zhang Yuanqing had already returned to his cheerful and cheerful attitude, saying with a smile: "Since I got the mental illness, I feel much better."
Free Eagle was still upset about Xia Shu's words. He glanced at Red Chicken and said,
"Which elder in Baotang Province does this leader of the Deer Horn Gang work for? You don't need to explain. Ninety percent of the independent cultivators in this world who can ascend to the Saint Realm must have a backer behind them."
"As for the small-scale folk cultivation organizations, they are not counted. Any organization that has gained momentum and has a certain scale must be supported by a large organization or a spiritual family."
"It's the Deer Head Gang." Brother Red Chicken corrected him, half-squinting and smiling, "There are seven elders in the Soup Province, and only two of them are fire masters. Guess who they are."
At this moment, the fire master was full of aggression and danger, truly revealing a bit of the majesty of a gang leader.
Are there any large-scale independent cultivation organizations in the private sector that are supported by the government or spiritual realm families? This is something I have never thought about. The existence of the Stop Killing Palace has given me a fixed impression of private organizations, but in fact, there are not many private organizations with independent sovereignty like the Stop Killing Palace. Zhang Yuanqing saw that the atmosphere was not right, looked at Yin Ji, and asked: "Deacon Yin Ji, do you know what the props that the Jianghuai Branch and the Xie family lost here are? They are not mentioned in the bounty mission."
This question really attracted the attention of the saints. @精華_书阁…j_h_s_s_d_c_o_First.Publish.Update~~
Yin Ji did not hide anything and said in a gentle tone:
"The Xie family's item is part of a certain rule-based item. I don't know the details, but I know that rule-based item is the Xie family's treasure. The reason why it was lost here is because the person who entered the dungeon that year was the great-great-grandson of the Xie family's ancestor. He was extremely talented and had the hope of becoming the next head of the family."
"As for the props of the Jianghuai branch, it should be the Yin-Yang turntable. It also has a nickname, the Liuni disk."
Part of the rule-based props? Everyone's eyes lit up as they listened.
The family treasure of a spiritual family is most likely a dominant-level rule-based item.
A portion of it was enough to make the saints present rich.
"Why is it called Rogue Plate?" asked Brother Red Chicken.
Yin Ji recalled: "The Yin-Yang Wheel, half white, half black, white for life, black for death. If the wheel pointer points to white, nothing will happen. If it points to black, it will devour the vitality of all living things except the owner. But as long as you can answer its questions, you can get a chance to start over. Those questions are extremely indecent, so it is called the rogue wheel. As for what the specific questions are, I don't know."
After all, it was a prop of the Five Elements Alliance. She knew so much about it and was very knowledgeable.
Zhang Yuanqing suddenly became very curious about what it meant to be extremely indecent.
This prop doesn't sound very serious." Brother Red Chicken expressed his opinion, and the three ladies nodded in agreement.
There was no conversation for a while. The cold and beautiful female instructor Xia Shuzhilian glanced at Zhang Yuanqing's waist bag and asked with a little curiosity:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, what's in your waist bag?"
Don't mention my wallet. Zhang Yuanqing said calmly, "Why do you ask?"
Xia Shuzhilian smiled lightly and said, "Nothing, just curious."
At this time, Yin Ji, who was looking into the distance, looked back and said calmly, "Because Yuanshi Tianzun has been deliberately avoiding me, fearing that I would notice his waist bag."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhang Yuanqing's wallet.
Xia Shuzhilian smiled and said, "So you noticed it too."
As a mature deacon, she would not take the initiative to expose other people's secrets, but she noticed that Yuanshi Tianzun always tried to cover his waist bag with his body, as if he was afraid of being noticed by Yin Ji.
His "guilty behavior" had actually been noticed by Yin Ji, who had intentionally or unintentionally put money into Yuanshi Tianzun's pocket several times.
Therefore, Xia Shuzhilian brought the matter to light and reminded Yuanshi Tianzun.
Me, am I that obvious... Zhang Yuanqing appeared calm on the surface, but he was grimacing in his heart. He was indeed worried that the Elvis speaker in his waist bag would be noticed by Yin Ji.
I care, so I pay attention.
He was wondering how to explain when he heard Yin Ji whispering not far away:
"I don't care."
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to the vast ocean.
If you knew that there was an audio recording of you calling the Demon Lord "good brother", you would not have said this... Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. Yin Ji's words were actually meant to comfort him.
She is indeed a gentle and considerate big sister. Zhang Yuanqing knows so many women, but very few of them make him feel comfortable and relaxed like Yin Ji.
And this was even when she deliberately kept her distance from everyone.
Thinking about it this way, it seems understandable that the Demon Lord has deep feelings for her.
A degenerate person with a drastic change in personality, who has experienced the ups and downs of life, suddenly meets such a gentle, lovely and extremely beautiful big sister. It is like finding a spiritual harbor. Isn't it normal to fall in love with her?
Unfortunately, it is a bad fate.
By the way, if word got out that I had the Elvis speaker, I would probably be hunted down by the Demon Lord's old friends. This is much more dangerous than being targeted by an evil organization.
At this time, Xiahou Aotian's voice came from the stern:
"Something is wrong, everyone. It seems like we have been standing still."
The saints immediately stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at the sea, looking for reference points to determine their location. As expected, they found that Yashan Island in the distance was still small and the coast was still far away, but it had not disappeared.
More than half an hour passed and they seemed to stay where they were, not moving.
Xia Shuzhilian, who was very observant, threw herself on the side of the ship and looked down: "The ship has been sailing all the time, why hasn't it moved?"
"Are we trapped in a maze?" Brother Red Chicken looked at his two fellow star officials.
Zhang Yuanqing and Yin Ji shook their heads in tacit understanding.
If it was a mysterious trap, they wouldn't have been unaware of it.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling uneasy. Yun Meng from the Qinghe tribe said, "I, I'll go up to heaven and give it a try?"
Yin Ji pondered for a few seconds and said, "Okay! But remember, you can only fly for five minutes at most. After five minutes, no matter where you fly to, you must return.
Yun Meng nodded, and immediately, large patches of white feathers grew from under her skin, bursting her clothes, her arms turned into broad wings, her neck stretched out and became slender, her head shrank, and a sharp beak extended from her lips.
In two or three seconds, she transformed into a 15-meter-tall snow-white crane.
The crane spoke in human language: "I'm going!"
It flapped its wings and flew towards the Yashan Island in the distance.
Everyone's eyes followed her. After flying for a distance, the crane suddenly turned around and flew back. Then it began to circle above the vehicles and boats.
"Isn't this just a ghost wall?" Brother Red Chicken pointed at the crane spinning stupidly and looked at the two star officials.
"No, it's not a ghost wall."
Our protagonist appeared. Xiahou Aotian stepped on the creaking planks and strode over. He said in a deep voice, "This should be a formation! From the moment we boarded the ship, we were trapped in the formation. The seabed, the sea surface, and even the sky have all been affected by the formation."
This is where it gets tricky.
Freedom Eagle asked, "What should we do then?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention, she took a deep breath, gave up the reserve and pride of the Free Federation, and asked in Chinese: "Then how do we pass through the formation and how do we get to Yashan Island?"
Xiahou Aotian pointed to the dark sea and said, "Go to the sea and break the formation!"
Red Chicken and Free Eagle said in unison: "Are you crazy?"
How can you get a tiger cub without risking your life? How can you come back to life without risking your life? "Xiahou Aotian held his head high and said, "This is the standard test for the protagonist. Brother Hongji looked skeptical: "I think you are bearing the cost of 80 million alone and giving up on yourself. Xiahou Aotian's expression froze and he said angrily, "Crude fire master, don't mention 80 million again. How can the protagonist be so upset because of 80 million? Enter the sea to break the formation? Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized what the Demon Lord said in the audio, what it meant to defeat the ghost ship.
Perhaps, the Demon Lord was not referring to the battle on the sea surface, but the battle under the sea.
The battle on the seabed was the original main plot of "The Sea of Yashan". Yin Ji stared at the deep sea for a few seconds, then retracted her gaze and cast her eyes towards Zhang Yuanqing, saying softly
"Yuanshi Tianzun, what do you think?"
