Chapter 4009: Trouble is coming

"Shopkeeper Hao, don't come here for half a year, there are so many of you, are you going to go to the Far North Island to do a big job?" Hong Zhong smiled and arched his hand towards the other party's leader.

The other party is the same as him, he is also the shopkeeper of the North Island branch of a top chamber of commerce, and his influence is only slightly inferior to that of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, and there are also big shops in the inner street of Fang City, and the two have often dealt with each other in the past, and they have some friendship, but in the past six months, Hong Zhong has never seen him on the inner street.

Shopkeeper Hao replied, and said in a somewhat indifferent and distant tone: "Shopkeeper Hong misunderstood, and said that the road to the Far North Island is not smooth now, bring more people, and your heart will be more steady." ”

"Really?" Hong Zhong smiled noncommittally, and wanted to ask again, but the other party had already waved his hand and sped away first.

"Shopkeeper Hong, is the road to the Far North Island very dangerous, do you need so many people to deal with it?" Lin Yi on the side asked when he heard this, after leaving the North Island region, there was a boundless sea below, if something happened in this kind of place, it would really be called heaven and earth.

"That's right, in addition to the extremely bad weather, we must also be on guard at all times for the powerful spirit beasts lurking under the surface of the sea, and there is no shortage of them that have ultra-long-range attack methods, so even if there are flying spirit beasts, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to reach the island of the extreme north safely. Hong Zhong nodded.

"No wonder. Lin Yi's heart was awe-struck, he had heard when he was chatting with ghosts that the spirit beast clan on Tianjie Island had gathered a large number of super spirit beasts, but just like the mountains behind the North Island, there were still countless powerful spirit beasts entrenched in various other places, and the vast sea had always been a breeding ground for legendary creatures.

According to the ghost thing, even the king of spirit beasts in the heyday of the year, even if he ruled the invincible spirit beast clan in the world, he has never conquered the endless sea, the water in it. Bottomless, no matter how terrifying and terrifying the murderous thing appears, it will not surprise people.

"However, although the sea is dangerous, as long as there is a master who presses the formation, does not break at will, and follows the map route, it is actually relatively safe, and the possibility of an accident is not great, so the North Island auction was only three or four people before. Far from having to fight like a dozen people, unless there is some other reason. Hong Zhong said thoughtfully.

When Hong Zhong greeted the other party just now, he clearly saw that the flying spirit beast on the opposite side was full of more than a dozen boxes of goods, and on the other hand, there were only two or three boxes of goods on his side. Not at all in the same order of magnitude.

This is not only the case with Shopkeeper Hao, but also with several other chambers of commerce, which is a bit intriguing.

Peers are enemies. This is really not bad at all, Lin Yi has already faintly felt that he has taken this auction trip of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but he is afraid that it will not be so calm.

What Lin Yi didn't expect was. His premonition soon became a reality.

Hong Zhong, an old and serious businessman, generally never does risky things unless necessary. The route to the Far North Island was always based on the safest map route in theory.

This is a route specially designed by the masters, and it is always close to the very edge of the territory of many powerful sea beasts, and the chance of being targeted by sea beasts is much lower than other routes.

Normally speaking, not only Hong Zhong, but also other people rarely act alone, after all, there are countless terrifying sea beasts in the vast sea, and walking around casually is simply playing with life, and no matter how many masters there are, it is useless.

However, this time, the other people from Beidao obviously did not play their cards according to common sense, and the flying spirit beast under Lin Yi's feet was not slow, but after only a moment, they completely lost the other party's figure.

It's just the shopkeeper Hao and their family, and the other dozen or so are also taking the usual path at the same time, which is too strange, and it has obviously been discussed a long time ago.

"What are you going to do?" At this time, Rao is Hong Zhong couldn't understand it, they were all peers, and he still knew a little about the nature of these people, these people were not adventurous masters.

However, even if he was puzzled in his heart, Hong Zhong could not change his route rashly, the other party was too many, and it was somewhat of an unconventional capital, but if he followed this path, it would be a good death.

For the next half an hour, there was no wind or waves all the way, but both Hong Zhong and Lin Yi could guess that this was only temporary, and it was impossible to be so calm forever.

Sure enough, in the strange calm, the long-brewing crisis suddenly came.

The height of the flying spirit beast is a hundred zhang high from the sea surface, and there is a thick cloud layer on the top, if it is higher than this, it is easy to lose its way, and if it is lower than this, it is easy to be attacked by the sea beast, which is a theoretically safest limit altitude, but it is at this height, there is a sneak attack without warning.

"Lin Shaoxia is standing firm!" Before Lin Yi could react, Hong Zhong had already raised a palm and slapped it down, only to hear a burst that sounded out of thin air, and the thin clouds and mist below suddenly burst into a circle of splashes.

"This is?" Lin Yi was secretly shocked when he saw it, he didn't feel any threat from beginning to end, and even after watching this confrontation, he didn't even react to what was going on.

Hong Zhong explained: "This is the water arrow of the flying swordfish, they can impact and glide into the air of thirty or forty zhang, and then launch a water arrow attack, the penetration and lethality are very amazing, plus the water arrow is transparent and silent, ordinary people can not detect it at all, if they are not prepared in advance, the slightest carelessness will be hit, in this vast sea is a relatively common threat." ”

"I see. Lin Yi heard this, if there was no Hong Zhong, just this water arrow would have caused them all to fall to the bottom of the sea and bury them in the belly of the fish.

However, before Lin Yi had time to rejoice, there was a sudden burst of murderous intent under him, and this time he could feel it clearly.

Looking down, the clouds and mist below have been pierced through dozens of holes, and the water arrows that could not be detected lightly were looming in the air because of the refraction, densely packed with dozens of water arrows, each of which was as fatal as just now, and this scene simply made people's scalps tingle.

Even Hong Zhong, looking at this scene, couldn't help but jump his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "How could you be so unlucky when you encountered a school of swordfish?"

Swordfish is a very fierce and bloodthirsty sea beast, generally always acting alone, only some special circumstances such as mating and courtship will gather into a school of swordfish, according to the conventional map route to go, the probability of encountering a school of swordfish, basically equivalent to the secular world lottery win.
