Before the mutation, the stingray had a flat body, a long and thin tail, and it was poisonous. There were one or several serrated stingers on the tail.
After the mutation, the various characteristics of the stingray were magnified dozens of times, especially its slender tail, which not only grew longer and longer, but the sting on it could easily poison a strong man.
Therefore, humans who are sucked into the seabed by the stingray's tail basically have no chance of survival.
Once the venom on the stinger enters the body, humans will immediately lose the ability to move, and will not fall into a coma immediately. In the end, they will have to watch themselves being eaten and torn into pieces.
The reputation of the stingray has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Every time a spirit refiner comes here to pick up bargains, they are all terrified.
As soon as stingrays are discovered on the beach, no one dares to stay on the shore.
The stingray's tail is extremely elastic and can pull a person into the sea in an instant from a distance of hundreds of meters, making it impossible to avoid it.
"I'm really not trying to scare you. Did you see any waves on the surface of the water when the soul cultivator was dragged into the sea? No, because once he was dragged into the sea by the stingray, he was sentenced to death."
The middle-aged man gave them advice as a person with experience.
"The stingray doesn't appear often, it only appears occasionally, but it's hard to guard against it. There's no way to tell if it's there. You only know when someone dies."
The middle-aged man spoke lightly and calmly, and it was obvious that he had long been accustomed to it.
"Don't think we are just picking up leaks. In fact, we are picking up leaks with our lives."
"But there's nothing we can do about it. It's because we're not strong enough. If we were stronger, we could just go down to the sea and kill it hundreds of times. There's no need to hide here and be so cautious."
The middle-aged man said this proudly, then became dejected again.
"I say this not to undermine your self-confidence, but because you are still young and have plenty of time. You still have a long future ahead of you. If you can avoid getting killed, don't go."
The middle-aged man spoke more and more fluently, and seemed to be talking attentively. Gao Han did not show any impatience from beginning to end.
"That won't work." Zhongli Tingzhou shook his head faster than Gao Han, "We came here just to go to the sea. If we don't go to the sea, there is no point."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but they didn't listen to him even though he said so much.
But what he didn't expect was that they were even braver than he thought.
"No, you are not here to pick up bargains, but you want to get into the business?" The middle-aged man looked at him in disbelief.
The spirit refiner who was nearby and was listening to him sharing his experience with the two young men laughed out loud.
"Guan Ping, what's the point of you telling them so much? Young people are arrogant and proud. If they don't suffer a little, they won't know how valuable the experience of the older generation is."
Guan Ping is the name of the middle-aged man.
"You told this to a few young people before, but did they listen to you? In the end, two of them died, and the remaining two ran back in a panic."
The soul refiner who was speaking smiled with gloating pleasure, as if he couldn't wait to see this scene.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "It's a human life after all, try to persuade him if you can."
"Uncle, you have been here for many years, right?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked with a smile. His handsome face looked less cold and indifferent because of the smile.
The middle-aged man still had some fantasies in his mind. He thought that this young man was quite good. In the past, when he talked about these things with a group of people, the other party would show impatience on their faces when they heard half of it.
He meant well, but was treated like a donkey by the other party, which made him feel bad. However, seeing them die in vain made him feel even worse. So once he started, he would fulfill his obligations, and if the other party didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.
"It's been many years." The middle-aged man nodded and unconsciously fell into Zhongli Tingzhou's rhythm.
"Then you should be aware of what happens here all the time. If there is anything special, tell us about it. We are all free now anyway." Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile again.
"Sure." The middle-aged man didn't hesitate. He thought that chatting for a while might help them dispel the urge to go into the sea, so he told him what he knew.
There is a long coastline in this area, and this is just one of them.
To the left and right, there are larger and longer coastlines, which are also full of dangers. However, no matter how great the danger is, it cannot stop the human impulse for adventure.
The middle-aged man originally thought that since sting rays appeared here, they might as well move to other coastlines today.
Because of this situation, they often hang around near various coastlines all year round.
The middle-aged man did not realize that Zhongli Tingzhou asked this on purpose.
When it comes to the conditions of various coastlines, these veterans who have been in the business for more than ten years or even decades can tell you how many reefs there are in a certain place and what species there are on the beach.
Back then, what they talked about most were the frequent explosions that occurred over the years.
Come to think of it, they also found it strange.
It was originally thought that most of the higher mutant creatures should form a united front, but in some places, fighting between higher marine mutant creatures often occurs.
These advanced marine mutant creatures all have their own subordinates, numbering in the tens of thousands. Every time a fight breaks out, many mutant creatures die, and some corpses are often washed ashore.
Therefore, every time these advanced marine mutant creatures fight, it is a blessing and paradise for those who pick up the bargains.
The middle-aged man spoke for more than an hour, his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, but at the end, he still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Uncle is indeed well-informed." Zhongli Tingzhou complimented him generously. Ignoring his red eyes, he was still very amiable.
Being complimented for the first time, the middle-aged man smiled foolishly.
"Thank you, uncle. We have learned a lot." Zhongli Tingzhou patted the uncle's shoulder with a smile, and it seemed as if he wanted to become brothers with the other person.
"As long as you cherish your life and don't joke about it, I can tell you more interesting things." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Zhongli Tingzhou nodded, "Uncle is right, we won't take our lives as a gamble easily, but we still have to thank you for helping us a lot, otherwise we might have to run around everywhere after going into the sea."
"You're welcome, just raise your hand...eh?" The middle-aged man was suddenly stunned.
What did he just say? After hearing so many dangerous things, he still wants to go into the sea?
The person who was picking up the leaks beside him shook his head and said, "I told you a long time ago, Guan Ping, no matter how much you say, they won't listen. Look, they will even run faster to die."
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I have said all I can. If you can listen, then listen. If you can't, don't blame me for not warning you if something goes wrong."
"Don't worry, uncle." Zhongli Tingzhou patted his shoulder hard with a bright smile.
The middle-aged man looked at his smiling face, but his mood became more and more complicated.
Gao Han signaled him and told him not to go too far and scare the kind uncle.
Zhongli Tingzhou gave him a calm red look.
Not sure if it was his illusion, Gao Han suddenly felt that his red eyes didn't seem as red as before.
"Uncle, this is your reward for the information you gave us. Please keep it." Gao Han casually took out a crystal core and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's hand. He looked at Zhongli Tingzhou, indicating that it was time for him to leave.
The middle-aged man was a little confused. He didn't want any reward, but what confused him even more was that the crystal core the other party gave him was actually a level ten crystal core.
He has never had the chance to hunt for a crystal core of this level in his lifetime.
Because his strength is no match for a level 10 mutant creature.
Also confused was the spirit refiner who had been advising him not to waste his kindness.
He thought they were two young men who were not sure of their own safety, but he did not expect that they were actually rich and stupid young men.
If he had known that he could get a level ten crystal core by chatting with the other party for more than an hour and just telling them some information that many people knew, he would have learned from Guan Ping and chatted with the other party.
No matter how much you regret, you can't turn back time, so fools still have some luck.
The spirit refiner looked at the middle-aged man with mixed feelings.
At this moment, the two foolish and rich noblemen in their hearts took a few steps and suddenly, with a swish, they both flew into the air and flew towards the sea in a flash, and disappeared in a short while.
Soul Refiner: “…”
Middle-aged man: “…”
Stupid and rich? No, these are simply two powerful spirit refiners.
The strongest person who can fly in the air has at least the cultivation level of the second-lower class.
It turns out that not all young people are the same as the ones they met before. The young people they met before were indeed scum, arrogant but without strength.
The soul refiner suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette and said with certainty, "These two are definitely not young people. They must be two old monsters who are dozens or hundreds of years old, wearing young skins."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, and when he thought about how he had just shown off his skills in front of the two people, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. Fortunately, the two people walked away quickly.
"Guan Ping, will you be like this in the future?" the spirit refiner asked curiously.
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "Yes, a situation like theirs should be an exception."
The spirit refiner thought about it and agreed that it was true that evil spirits were always rare.
They met two of them at once, so they were probably lucky.
At sea, the wind and clouds were unpredictable and the mist was surging. If they were not very strong, they probably wouldn't be able to see what was happening dozens of meters away.
Gao Han had heard about the dangers of the ocean, but this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
The sea is calm, with only ripples caused by the sea breeze. It is peaceful, yet full of dangers.
A slender and huge mutant creature suddenly jumped out of the sea, causing huge waves and rolling sea water like a tsunami. When it fell back into the sea, huge waves surged again.
It swam back and forth in the sea, with a pair of hidden eyes, looking unwillingly at Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou above its head as they flew quickly in front of it.
This situation is almost normal at sea.
Only when they arrived at Jinghai did they dive into the sea. Moving on the sea would be too conspicuous, so it would be more convenient to do it on the seabed. If they encountered any strange sound waves, Fugui could notify them in advance to avoid them.
The greatest golden finger of the two people is not Gao Han’s Yayoi Ring, nor the spirit of Zhongli Tingzhou that is mutually reinforcing and restraining, but wealth.
"Fugui, Fugui, it's your turn next. Daddy has been good to you, right? If you always just live a life of idleness and wait for death, you will never find a wife in the future." Zhongli Tingzhou touched Fugui's head kindly.
Fugui looked confused. What was the connection between the two? And why did he want to find a wife? He thought this kind of life was pretty good and he didn't want to change it at all.
"Don't bully it." Gao Han took Fugui from him.
"Which eye of yours saw me bullying it?" Zhongli Tingzhou raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.
Gao Han said: "I saw it with both eyes."
Fugui rolled his eyes in cooperation, which made Zhongli Tingzhou even more upset, and he reached out to hit it.
Just as Gao Han was about to stop him, his chest was suddenly scratched by Fugui's claws.
As Fugui's strength grew, his claws became sharper and sharper. With one strike, it actually left a white mark on his protective armor.
You know, the level of the protective armor on his body is not low. This thing is extremely difficult to refine. He has been refining weapons, but has only refined a few pieces of protective armor.
Logically speaking, Fugui's unconscious claw wouldn't even leave a white mark.
"It doesn't really think it's my son, does it?" Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly said.
Gao Han was stunned for a moment, and only when Fugui was pulled out did he understand what he meant.
A pair of big eyes with clear black and white turned as red as Zhongli Tingzhou's in just a short moment.
One big and one small, two pairs of red eyes, they really look a bit like father and son.
