Zhou Yan saw that Lu Ping'an's eyes were so confident, and he was inevitably a little curious.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Where did Mr. Lu come from so surely? Could it be that you have hidden your true strength from me?"

Lu Ping'an smiled but did not speak.

When Zhou Yan saw Lu Ping'an's expression, he knew that he was not as simple as he looked.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "If you want to get on our ship, it's not impossible, but you must get a patrol order and become a member of our patrol navy!"

Lu Ping'an shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm only interested in Suzaku, General Zhou just needs to tell me where Suzaku is haunting!"

"You don't have a sea patrol order, so I can't tell Zhou!" Zhou Yan said before turning around and leaving.

"Wait!" Lu Ping'an asked helplessly, "Is it possible that as long as I get the sea patrol order, General Zhou will be able to tell me about Suzaku?"

Zhou Yan shook his head: "Of course not, you need to join us to be eligible to get news from us at sea!"

Lu Ping'an finally understood why the Nanyue Sword Sect had such a good relationship with Zhou Yan, but he couldn't get any news from Zhou Yan from the sea.

It was designated that the emperor strictly ordered Zhou Yan to never reveal half a sentence of affairs at sea!

Not to mention the head of the Nanyue Sword Sect, it was his son Zhou Zhengyi, and he didn't reveal any news.

This can also prove from the side how much the Emperor of Nanyun Kingdom attaches great importance to this matter!

There is no way, in this case, if Lu Ping'an wants to get the news of Suzaku from Zhou Yan's mouth, he must do what Zhou Yan said.

Therefore, he frowned and asked, "How did you get the sea patrol order you said?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "It's very simple, as long as you can kill three sea beasts above the ground level in one day, and make a great oath that you will never reveal news to anyone who does not have a sea patrol order, you can come to me to receive the sea patrol order!"

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "It's that simple?"

"That's right, it's as simple as that!" Zhou Yan finished speaking, adding, "However, there is one thing that must be reminded to you, in order to ensure that you do not cheat, we will send someone to follow you at all times, if something happens to the person who follows you, it will be regarded as a failure of the challenge!"

Lu Ping'an frowned and asked, "What if that person deliberately injured himself?"

Zhou Yan replied with a smile: "It's the same as a failure of the challenge!"

"Such rules are really fair!" Lu Ping'an said in a mocking tone.

Zhou Yan said lightly: "If you can't accept this rule, you can also choose not to participate in the challenge, I will not force it!"

Lu Ping'an said: "I don't have so much time to waste, just say it, who are you going to arrange for me to find fault!"

Zhou Yan turned his head to look at the guard who had always looked down on Lu Ping'an, and mocked Lu Ping'an several times: "Cao Man, you accompany him on a trip!"

When Cao Man heard this, he arched his hand to Zhou Yan and said, "Yes!"

Lu Ping'an looked at Cao Man, feeling a little unhappy. After all, this guy just threatened to kill himself, if he really took advantage of his attack on the sea beast and stabbed himself in the back, it would be troublesome.

However, there is nothing I can do now.

Zhou Yan's most conflict with Cao Man is in his eyes, and since he sent Cao Man to follow him, he naturally will not change his mind.

Therefore, he had to arch his hand to Zhou Yan: "Let's start!"

With that, he took Cao Man and walked towards the sea.

Cao Man crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his attitude was extremely arrogant: "I advise you to give up, with your strength, you are not the opponent of the earth-level sea beast at all!"

Lu Ping'an smiled: "It's just a few steps, what's so scary?"

Cao Man saw Lu Ping'an's vow, and opened his mouth to strike: "Don't compare sea beasts with ordinary demon beasts, the competition between demon beasts in the sea is far fiercer than that between ordinary demon beasts, and the low-level demon beasts on the sea are far stronger than those on land." ”

"Are you trying to persuade me to give up?" asked Lu Ping'an.

Cao Man sneered and said, "I'm just too lazy to go to sea with you, maybe I'll have to collect your body when the time comes, it's really troublesome!"

Lu Ping'an said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't make trouble for me, just three earth-level sea beasts, it's a matter of every move!"

"I don't know how thick the sky is!" Cao Man sneered, and then stopped talking.

Soon, the two of them came to the sea in small boats, and because these boats are powered by spiritual energy, they travel extremely fast on the sea.

In less than half an hour, he had already gone to sea for more than 100 miles, and by this time the sky had already darkened.

Through the system in his body, Lu Ping'an had already sensed the existence of several earth-level sea beasts not far away.

Without waiting for the sea beast to react, he used a sword and eight green dragons.

Before Cao Man could figure out what was going on, he saw several ground-level sea beasts floating up from the bottom of the water from a distance.

Lu Ping'an had already known the attributes of these sea beasts through the system, and there was nothing to be desired, so he said to Cao Man: "What's the matter? Do you need me to arrest them?"

Cao Man was stunned for a long time before he shook his head: "No need, even if you have passed the test, go back!"

As Zhou Yan's personal guard, he has experienced a lot of such tests.

Like Lu Ping'an, who passed the test with just one sword, it is the first time to see him.

The crux of the matter is that when Lu Ping'an made a move just now, he didn't see Lu Ping'an's true strength at all.

This can at least prove that Lu Ping'an's strength is far above himself.

Lu Ping'an was relieved to see that he didn't embarrass himself: "Then thank you Brother Cao!"

"No!" Cao Man thought of the scene when he said he was going to kill Lu Ping'an before, and shook his head awkwardly, "Your Excellency is strong, such a simple assessment, no matter who else comes to the test, you can pass!"

Lu Ping'an smiled and did not speak.

Indeed, just three earth-level sea beasts are indeed simple for Lu Ping'an.

However, if it were a Heaven-level Sea Beast, the situation might be different.

Lu Ping'an could clearly judge from the sword that he had just killed the earth-level sea beast that what Cao Man had just said was right.

Sea beasts are indeed stronger than the demon beasts on land.

Lu Ping'an was not lightly injured in the previous battle with Shang Tailai, and his aura consumption has not yet recovered.

At this time, let alone a high-grade sea beast of the heavenly rank, even if there is a sea beast of the lower grade of the heavenly rank, Lu Ping'an may not be able to deal with it.

Things in the world are sometimes so coincidental, and the more you worry about what you are afraid of, the more likely it is to happen.

Lu Ping'an was worried about the matter of the Heavenly Rank Sea Beast, and the system sounded a prompt:

The devouring system activated, and a Lingxu Emperor Crocodile blood source was detected nearby

Bloodline grade: Heavenly rank lower grade

Blood Characteristics: Water

Beast Core Grade: Heavenly Rank Lower Grade

Water Properties: High

Side effects: High

System advice: Devour with caution.

When Lu Ping'an heard this system prompt, he immediately took out the chart given to him by Zhong Haitao and carefully checked the surrounding situation.

Seeing his panicked appearance, Cao Man asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Ping'an said: "We can't go back for the time being, we must find a small island that is easy to fight, otherwise I'm afraid we will die here!"

The more Cao Man listened, the more confused he became: "What the hell is going on?"

Lu Ping'an said: "We were targeted by a Lingxu Emperor crocodile, we must find a small island and lead it to the land to fight!"

"What? how is this possible?" Cao Man couldn't believe his ears, thinking he had misheard.

He is now only a hundred miles away from the coast, and it stands to reason that in this kind of place, it is impossible for a Heaven-level sea beast to appear.

Could it be......

He turned his head to look at Lu Ping'an, his eyes full of suspicion of Lu Ping'an.

In his opinion, it is very likely that Lu Ping'an deliberately took him to a desert island in order to reveal the secret in his mouth.

But after thinking about it carefully, with Lu Ping'an's strength, if he really wanted to do it with himself, he would have done it a long time ago, so why lie to himself?

Thinking about this layer, he suddenly looked around.

Lu Ping'an saw Cao Man's performance, including his suspicion of himself at that moment.

However, Lu Ping'an didn't care about this, just reminded: "Under the water, you can't see anything wrong!"

Cao Man asked, "Then how did you know that there was a Lingxu Emperor Crocodile around?"

Lu Ping'an explained with a smile: "My innate perception ability is several times stronger than that of ordinary people, otherwise, how could I kill three earth-level sea beasts at the same time with one sword just now?"

General Cao Man asked suspiciously: "You said that you want to retreat to a nearby island, you don't really plan to fight the Xianlingxu Emperor Crocodile head-on, right?"

Lu Ping'an smiled and asked, "Otherwise, wait here to die?"

Cao Man thought for a while, and then asked, "I'll notify the general right now, are you okay?"

"Whatever you want!"

Lu Ping'an knew that Cao Man didn't trust himself very much by doing this.

But he didn't mind this, after all, he was just an ordinary person, and he had known Cao Man for less than an hour, if Cao Man trusted him at this time, it would be a problem.

Lu Ping'an casually responded to Cao Man's words, and then drove the boat towards the nearby islands.

That island is marked as Stone Forest Island in Zhong Haitao's chart, and there must be huge boulders standing everywhere on the island!

Sure enough, as Lu Ping'an guessed, the island was composed of a huge stone forest, and there was not even a place to stay.

In desperation, Lu Ping'an could only take Cao Man and jump on the top of the boulder.

The two of them were condescending, their eyes firmly fixed on the sea, and the sea water shone sparkling under the moonlight, which was particularly beautiful.

As for the Lingxu Emperor Crocodile, there is not even a shadow!

Cao Man was extremely suspicious that he had been deceived by Lu Ping'an, and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you perceiving something wrong? Why haven't you seen the shadow of the Lingxu Emperor Crocodile until now?"

Lu Ping'an made a silent gesture at him, and replied in a low voice: "It's here!"

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, the stone pillar they were standing on was violently slammed and slowly fell into the depths of the stone forest.

Lu Ping'an hurriedly took Cao Man and jumped onto another natural stone pillar.

Boom Boom –

The stone pillars that Lu Ping'an and Cao Man were standing on earlier broke several stone pillars behind them, smashing out monstrous waves and making a loud noise.

When Cao Man saw this scene, cold sweat was about to break out.

Before he could come to his senses, Lu Ping'an spoke again: "Be careful, that guy's attack is coming again!"
