Chapter 495: Snatching the Orb

"Hey, drinking friend, let me tell you," Hai Liqing was about to go back to the sea, but Ji Ao stopped her again, "You have to be careful of strange monsters recently." ”

"I know, I know. Hai Liqing casually agreed, and jumped into the sea, not taking this sentence to heart, because she thought that no monster would hurt her except for that golden firefly.

Ji Ao watched her disappear with a smile, and said to himself: "There is only water left......

Hu Xiangwen took a large bead of light and looked at it repeatedly for a while, then handed it to a man next to him, sighed and said: "I still can't see any clues, you are the best at using magic weapons, and then take a closer look, whether this is a purification orb or not." ”

The man shook his head: "Nothing special, it looks like just an ordinary pearl." ”

"Maybe the old dryad tricked us. ”

"We were so careless that after asking about the whereabouts of the things, we just prevented him from escaping, but we didn't expect him to seal the house. ”

Hu Xiangwen said hatefully: "Hmph, maybe it's his trickster, this bead may only be used by him." Anyway, let's surround his house first and see how long he can last!"

Their group of youkai were sitting around a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. The cabins were cleaned, with tables, chairs, and tea sets, and there was no water at all. Because the sea water was blocked by some kind of force, rippling layers of water waves.

The light shines down from the surface of the sea, dimly illuminating the room, as well as the corals, fish, shells and swaying aquatic plants on the seabed, making it feel like you are in a magnificent crystal palace.

This was originally the residence of the Kraken clan, but later they left the human world one after another, and only Hai Liqing herself was left here. This time, in order to receive Hu Xiangwen and their "tour group", she placed them here.

This place is not only hidden, but also deep to the bottom of the sea, and the youkai on land can't even think of this place even if they think about it. Although Hu Xiangwen and the others have stayed at home these days, as long as the daily expenses are paid, Hai Liqing will not ask a word.

After Hu Xiangwen secretly inquired about the fact that the purification orb in Lidan City was in the hands of a monster named "Old Man Liu", he immediately led his subordinates to surround Old Man Liu's residence while he was unprepared, and captured the couple. In order to survive, Old Man Liu immediately said where the treasure bead was hidden.

Hu Xiangwen got the orb from an ancient tomb after several tribulations, but found that it was the same as an ordinary night pearl, with no mana at all. Later, after he learned from Hai Liqing that the Purification Orb could only be used by Old Man Liu, he planned to go back and kidnap them together.

Previously, in order to prevent Old Man Liu and his wife from asking for help from other monsters in Lidan City, Hu Xiangwen arranged for his subordinates to monitor their residences day and night, so that Old Man Liu could not go out of the house even a step. But they didn't expect that Old Man Liu and his wife used all their mana to seal the house, which also made it impossible for them to enter.

If you can't catch Old Man Liu, you can't know the authenticity of this bead, so Hu Xiangwen and his gang had no choice but to continue to surround Old Man Liu's house, and they spent time with him. As the days passed, Hu Xiangwen and the others became more and more anxious.

They are now on someone else's turf, and what they fear most is being dragged down. If the youkai here find out, things will fall short. And living here in Hai Liqing is not a long-term solution, after all, she is also a monster in Lidan City, once she knows their true purpose, she will definitely turn against them immediately.

Hu Xiangwen discussed with everyone for a while, but after all, they couldn't come to any conclusions, everyone had their own opinions, and it became a mess.

Hu Xiangwen led these monsters by relying on his own strong strength, but he didn't have any outstanding leadership skills, and he was not even as good as Ji Ao, who could use both soft and hard skills, which could make other monsters fear from the heart.

At this point, he couldn't think of any good plan, nor could he restrain everyone's tongues, and he couldn't help but get irritable in his heart, and the more he listened to their noise, the more unbearable it became, and he was almost about to have a seizure.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu!" a monster screamed and rushed in from outside, he didn't know how to avoid the water, he just dived down, his whole body was dripping with water, he staggered and pounced in front of Hu Xiangwen, grabbed Hu Xiangwen's arm and shouted, "Mr. Hu, it's not good! That house was broken into by the monsters of Lidan City, and Brother Feng and the pair of stone lions were all ......"

"What!" Hu Xiangwen immediately stood up, "How many people are on the other side?"

"Two. ”

"Only two?"

"It's two, one and the other...... The other can't be seen, it seems to be a human, and it seems to be a monster, he may have a talisman to cover it...... "Jin Hotaru suddenly shot out without warning, that fast and ruthless knife, deeper than the powerful spell left on this monster, it should not be human, but I can't tell what kind of monster Jin Hotaru is."

"The youkai of Ritan City are on the move. After listening to his account, Hu Xiangwen clenched his fists.

"That Han Qi should be Ji Ao, he is the landlord of Lidan City, and he is a bully here. "One of the youkai who went out to inquire about the news said," said another...... There is only one youkai that Ji Aoken puts his back at ease when he fights, and that is Jin Hotaru, a vine golden moss, but I heard that he borrowed his corpse to return his soul and became a human. ”

"Monsters, that kind of low-level thing is also a youkai?"

"He's probably an outlier, and he's said to have been practicing for hundreds of years. I remember last time I said that there is a Vermilion Bird here, it is the adopted son of this vine golden moss, a little more domineering than Ji Ao, this vine golden moss can not be underestimated, it seems that he also has a nine-tailed fox and a hundred flowers fairy at home. ”

"Vermilion Bird, Nine-Tailed Fox, Hundred Flowers Fairy...... It sounds like a breeder. No matter what his own strength is, only these monsters he raises are quite scary. ”

"Mr. Hu, do you think we should go back first and think about it in the long run?" After hearing that there were Vermilion Birds, Nine-Tailed Foxes, and Hundred Flower Fairies here, some monsters began to retreat.

But immediately someone retorted: "Coward, how can we run away when we get to this point!"

An elderly monster patiently persuaded: "This is on other people's territory, what's the use of only being a hero, and being rash will ruin a big thing." Mr. Hu, I also think it's better for us to bring this orb back first, slowly study its usefulness, and rest the team by the way, and when the monsters here relax their vigilance, we will make a comeback. ”

Hu Xiangwen knew that this suggestion was very reasonable, but he was a straight man, and he wanted to save face, so he really didn't want to go back with only a bead that he didn't know the authenticity of, so he groaned and didn't speak.

At this time, the other monsters were arguing chaotically, and several of them looked at Hu Xiangwen, waiting for him to give an order, but they didn't know that in their own hearts, they were actually undecided.

"Stop arguing, everyone, the Kraken is back. A youkai called out.

Everyone looked out of the boat, and sure enough, they saw Hai Liqing shaking her head and waving her tail swimming down from the sea, seemingly still humming a song. She was so fast in the water that no "fish" could match, and in a short time she reached the door of the cabin and floated in gently.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Gao, Miss Yang, Brother Lu......" Hai Liqing greeted with a smile, and it was also a shame that she had only heard the names of so many monsters once, although most of their names were fake, I remembered them clearly, and none of them were wrong. She took out a receipt, handed it to Hu Xiangwen with both hands, and waited for him to see it clearly with a smile.

"That's the cost for today. Hu Xiangwen immediately took out 30,000 yuan and handed it over.

"Thank you for your patronage. Hai Liqing laughed so much that she almost couldn't see her eyes. The money for this "tour group" is so easy to make that it makes her a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Hu, what do you want to eat today? Do you want me to accompany you to see the sea view, swim in the trench, explore the shipwreck and explore the treasure?" She was a little courteous because the money was too easy to earn, and she was a little reluctant to go, but in the eyes of others, she surrounded Hu Xiangwen "Mr. "Mr" and "Mr. " short, which had other meanings in it.

"Hmph. The two women who admired Hu Xiangwen snorted coldly at the same time.

Hu Xiangwen has always been arrogant and conceited, and has always been disdainful of women, these two female monsters flattered and flattered him by his side, and you fought with me for hundreds of years, Hu Xiangwen never even gave them a smile, so no one believed that this money-greedy, brainless, coquettish, and annoying kraken would make him tempted.

Hai Liqing is in a good mood today, because she has a good income, and she chats happily with Ji Ao, a drinking friend, and she feels like she has found a soulmate. So she talked more, and although no one was listening at all, she still kept talking:

"There is a beautiful coral group in front, a shipwreck in the east is from the Tang Dynasty, and there are relics of ancient dragon fights in the reef group in the south......"

Hu Xiangwen frowned and looked at this kraken, he really couldn't stand this kind of money-hungry and chattering woman, and was about to stop her, when a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, and a thought came to him.

Hai Liqing was bragging about how beautiful the sunset on the sea looked, and Hu Xiangwen suddenly grabbed her wrist: "I'll go with you to see it." ”

"What?" Hai Liqing was interrupted by him, blinking at him in surprise.

"Let's go to the sea. ”

No, what's so nice about the sunset? I wish I knew I didn't talk much, and it would have to take extra work. Hai Liqing sighed in her heart, but she still had a sweet smile on her face:

"Then please line up, I will call the dolphin group to carry everyone up, the time is half an hour, the place is the sea, everyone can listen to my explanation, you can also move freely, but after half an hour you must come back to gather, we will first check the table." ”

"No, just the two of us. Hu Xiangwen interrupted her.

"What, just the two of us?

"You and I are both water tribesmen, it's more convenient, the others are here waiting for me to come back, don't act rashly!" After speaking, he pulled Hai Liqing straight out of the cabin.

"She, she!" The two banshees saw Hai Liqing and Hu Xiangwen leaving side by side intimately, and they were so angry that they couldn't speak.

After surfacing, Hai Liqing and Hu Xiangwen both showed their original forms. Hu Xiangwen is a silvery-white dragon that tosses through the water, and the creatures in the water flee one after another.

Hai Liqing flicked her pale pink tail and followed him slowly, explaining non-stop: "If you look this way now, you can see a turtle, oh, it is swimming away now, it was scared away by you...... There is a cliff on the island in front of us, and humans love to watch the sunset there, if you like......"

"I'd like to ask you a favor. Hu Xiangwen said suddenly.

"No, you can't. Hai Liqing immediately replied without thinking.

"I'll pay," Hu Xiangwen misunderstood what she meant, and continued to raise the honorarium, "50,000, 100,000, no, I'll pay 2 million, you just need to take me to a place." ”

Hu Xiangwen suddenly thought just now that with that strange instinct, Hai Liqing would definitely be able to easily walk into Old Man Liu's house, which is why he asked Hai Liqing to come out alone.
