Volume 1 Blood Pact Chapter 3 See Cheng Xue again
A few nautical miles from the island, the big ship lowered a wooden boat and carried Bafenghan back.
As the wooden boat approached the big ship, the people on the deck were already clearly visible.
Ba Fenghan's gaze swept over the crowd, looking at the black-bottomed sail painted with an angry King Kong, he had no memory of this totem in his mind, so he asked the boat supporter, "Is your sect not the native sect of Yan Kingdom?"
The boat man said: "We are from the Mighty King Kong Gate of Zhao State, and we are here to participate in the trade fair in Hanxiao City. ”
Ba Fenghan nodded.
I never thought that it would be the time of the triennial trade fair, so he has been frozen for three whole years.
Three years ago, his fourth-order cultivation was about to break through, but now he fell two realms in a row under the poison of his former companions and the erosion of thousand-year-old ice.
As he spoke, he approached the boat, and someone on board had thrown off the rope to lift the boat back up and help them board.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing scattered on the deck, most of them were seventeen or eighteen years old, led by a middle-aged strong man and an old man with long eyebrows.
The bald man with a short figure looked Ba Fenghan, who had just boarded the boat, up and down, and said: "In four days, we will dock in Hanxiao City, and you will temporarily live in the room at the end of the first floor, and I live next door, if you need anything, you can find me directly, and let people bring you food and water in a while." ”
Ba Fenghan nodded his head in thanks, didn't say much, and then walked towards the room at the end with the guidance of the boatman from earlier.
The bald man kept staring at Bai Fenghan's back, and only when he walked into the cabin did he withdraw his gaze, turned around and waved his hand at the young disciples who had run to the deck to watch the excitement: "It's all gone! You don't work hard to cultivate, but you are quite concerned about other things." Facing the young disciples who had already walked towards their respective rooms one after another, he suddenly raised his voice and continued: "At the fair, someone will take out the beast soul of the five-shot Vajra Demon Ape for auction, and this matter has been told to you before leaving, but it is not yet known how many beast souls we can finally auction. Nineteen of you on this trip, only those who break through to the second order can have the ability to melt souls, and whoever breaks through first will also have the qualifications to have the soul of a Vajra Demon Ape! Hurry up and let me go back to my respective rooms and work hard to cultivate!"
As soon as the words fell, those disciples had already returned to the room one after another, and only the bald man and the old man with long eyebrows were left on the deck.
The old man with long eyebrows said with a smile: "I can't see that Elder Meng is still very good at motivating these young people, you just looked fierce and evil, and even I was frightened by you." ”
Montaigne smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just stating a fact, don't make fun of me, you old man." ”
The old man with long eyebrows glanced at the room at the end, and suddenly said, "That person is only a second-order cultivator, not like a hidden strength. ”
The bald man said seriously: "But don't take it lightly, this group of little guys will be the mainstay of the sect in the future, this time the head of the sect ordered you and me to go with you to show that it is important to pay attention to it, it is better to be cautious, after all, there are people outside the world." ”
The old man with long eyebrows sighed, paced around Montaigne, looked up and down, suddenly reached out and touched his bald head, and quickly stopped before Montaigne could react: "Little Meng, you are still too young, if you turned a blind eye to the signal he released earlier, why are you worried now?"
Montaigne was already familiar with the old man's personality, and did not provoke him, saying: "This matter is just a matter for us, but it is a charcoal in the snow for him, this world should not be so indifferent, just be wary of him." ”
"Your mind is in the present world, and you will not live long. The old man with long eyebrows lost interest in speaking, and then turned to leave.
The ship continued to sail for several nautical miles, and Montaigne, who had not yet returned to the house, stood on the deck and watched a group of dolphins surround the fish that had been startled by the boat.
The dolphins, which were focused on predation, suddenly gathered together as if frightened, and no longer continued to contain the fish, but dived into the deep sea and disappeared.
Montaigne looked into the sea in the distance, and a large wave appeared several nautical miles away, and at this time it was rapidly approaching the big ship, and a faint red undulation could be seen in the waves.
Montaigne looked intently at the first glimpse of the huge waves, and there were dense cyan scales flickering, and there was actually a person in it.
As the waves approached, the old man with long eyebrows in the house also sensed it, walked to the deck and looked at the waves stirred by unknown creatures, and said in a deep voice: "You go and tell the little ones to be vigilant first, and beware of the guy who boarded the boat halfway, I will keep an eye on it here." ”
As soon as the old man with long eyebrows finished speaking, Montaigne had already turned to leave.
The old man with long eyebrows, who had always been on guard, suddenly let out a soft sound, and he also noticed that there was actually someone in the waves, and it was a woman in red who seemed to be unconscious.
The waves suddenly subsided a hundred meters away from the big boat, and then ten creatures covered with cyan scales resembling apes surfaced on the sea, quietly looking at the old man with long eyebrows.
One of them was carrying the unconscious woman on his shoulders.
"It turned out to be a few sea apes!" the old man with long eyebrows shouted, "I know that you know how to speak, so take that woman and retreat quickly!"
The thin body of the old man with long eyebrows burst out with an irritable and arrogant aura.
The apes did not retreat because of this, but sank their bodies, only their heads were exposed to the sea, still looking at him calmly.
As early as when the waves were approaching, the most intractable person in the house was not the old man with long eyebrows, but Bai Fenghan, who was leaning on the head of the bed, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. Because the Xue Zang body that inhabits his sea of knowledge is an ancient demon beast, it can regulate its own energy when it is awake, and now it is asleep, but the small amount of breath it leaks makes Bai Fenghan's perception of demon beasts very keen.
Ba Fenghan, who was quietly watching the changes in the house, heard the old man's shouts, and then thought of Cheng Xue, and then pushed the door out, but was stopped by Montaigne, who rushed over: "There are only ten sea apes here, they are naturally restrained by our spirit King Kong Demon Ape, there is no need to worry." ”
Ba Fenghan didn't pay attention to his words, and the moment he stepped out of the door, his eyes moved to the stern of the boat, and after a while, he said to Montaigne: "What if there are dozens of heads?"
Montaigne said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don't just watch out for the front, you'd better take the rest of the people along there and take a look. Ba Fenghan said and pointed to the stern: "As I expected, the ten sea apes that made a big movement in front of them are just to attract your attention, and at this time, a large number of sea apes are quietly gathering towards the stern of the boat, and they may climb up at any time." ”
Montaigne didn't have time to think about the truth or falsehood of what the young man in front of him said, everything was afraid of what happened, if it was said by the young man, he and the old man with long eyebrows alone would not be able to deal with it.
"Be safe yourself. Montaigne did not continue to stop Bafenghan, and quickly rushed to the stern of the ship after gathering all the disciples who had been waiting for him.
Bai Fenghan came to the deck and recognized at a glance that the unconscious woman among the sea apes was Cheng Xue, who had disappeared on the island earlier.
The old man with long eyebrows noticed Bai Fenghan's expression and said, "Do you know that woman?"
Ba Fenghan nodded.
The old man with long eyebrows was about to open his mouth to ask why Montaigne and the others had gone to the stern of the boat, when suddenly a piercing cry came from there. Then the old man with long eyebrows saw a tall Vajra Demon Ape phantom appearing behind Montaigne, and he was fighting with his disciples to kill the emerging sea ape. However, there were still some of them who climbed the deck, avoided Montaigne, and pounced on those disciples who were weaker in cultivation.
The old man with long eyebrows didn't have time to take care of the ten sea apes under the boat, and said to Ba Fenghan: "Young man, I'll leave it to you here." ”
Ba Fenghan nodded in agreement.
The old man with long eyebrows thanked him, and the phantom of a Vajra Demon Ape also appeared behind him, and he swept towards the stern of the boat with all his might.
The ten sea apes under the ship had obviously become excited with the piercing cry, and after seeing that there was only a second-order cultivator left on the deck, Ba Fenghan had already approached the big ship again, ready to climb up.
The sea ape carrying Cheng Xue seemed to recognize Ba Fenghan, and for fear of being targeted, he stayed where he was, and even grinned at Ba Fenghan, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
When he touched the sea with his feet, the sea water under his feet quickly froze, and every step he took was like walking on the ground, and after dodging the sea apes that pounced, he quickly approached Cheng Xue.
The sea ape carrying Cheng Xue saw that the situation was not good, and turned around to run. Ba Fenghan bowed and threw a handful of seawater into an ice pick at the sea ape.
The ice pick infused with the ice spirit cold power is very powerful, but after all, Ba Feng Han only has a second-order cultivation now, and the speed of the ice pick's movement is not unavoidable, but the sea ape is very timid, and he just wants to escape without looking back, and is stabbed in the back by the ice pick that catches up, and the ice spirit cold force invades the sea ape's body from the wound, freezing it alive, and it can't die anymore.
It's all just happening in the light of light.
Before the other sea apes approached, Ba Fenghan had already picked up Cheng Xue with one hand, and then frantically urged the ice spirit cold force, and the white cold force around him seemed to be alive, clinging to the sea surface and spreading towards the other nine sea apes, and the sea water froze where they passed, and the sea apes who were like fish in water in the sea water were suddenly imprisoned in the sea ice, only the upper body exposed to the sea water was desperately struggling.
However, the cold power of the ice spirit comes from Xuezang, and it is cold to the cloud, and the sea water is extremely solid after being frozen, and it is impossible to break free at all.
Ba Fenghan also used this power for the first time in the true sense, when he signed the blood contract, Xue Zang promised to lend him a part of his power, and now with his second-order cultivation, he can only exert two or three percent of it, but the power has really surprised him.
Holding Cheng Xue in his left hand and an ice pick frozen by seawater in his right hand, Ba Fenghan pierced the heads of the imprisoned nine-headed sea apes and climbed onto the big boat again.
At this time, in addition to the stern of the ship, there were also sea apes on both sides of the ship constantly climbing to the deck, and the old man with long eyebrows and Montaigne each held two places to kill the sea apes that climbed up, while those disciples gathered on the other side to resist.
Ba Fenghan noticed that the old man with long eyebrows and the bald man were not doing their best at this time, and then he found that the number of sea apes in the two places was far greater than the places where the disciples were.
It seems that the two of them plan to take advantage of this sea ape attack to train their disciples.
Since he didn't need to intervene, Bai Fenghan took Cheng Xue back to the room, helped her take off her clammy red robe, hugged her to the bed and covered it with a quilt, moved the brazier to the side of the bed, and then sat on the stool in front of the table and looked at her from afar.
With a cup of tea, the noisy fighting on the deck gradually subsided, and there was a knock at the door.
Ba Fenghan got up and went to open the door, and there was the bald man standing outside the door.
"The ape has receded, and I apologize for the previous faux pas. The bald man said: "If we don't prepare early, we may have to live up to the trust of the master, and some disciples will shed blood." Thank you. ”
Ba Fenghan said: "There is no need to thank you, let alone apologize, in other words, I am you will also beware of a person who boards the ship halfway, if the sea ape attack is successful, it will not do me any good, you can let me board the ship, but I should thank you." ”
The bald man grinned, "My name is Montaigne, and I don't know your name yet." ”
"Ba Fenghan. ”
Ba Feng Han turned to the side and motioned for Montaigne to enter the house.
Seeing the unconscious woman lying on the bed and the red robe hanging from the bedside, Montaigne asked, "Is this the woman who was previously held hostage by the ape?"
Ba Fenghan did not deny it: "She was a friend who was trapped on the island with me, and later disappeared, and I saw Fang Zhi abducted by a sea ape just now." ”
Montaigne had already seen the death of the ten sea apes before he came, but he didn't take the liberty to ask, and learned that the woman was a friend of Ba Fenghan, and said: " There are not many people who know about this kind of demon beast, they are extremely intelligent, in groups, very grudgeful, if there is no need, we will not provoke, and they are naturally happy, after taking your friend away, they should not have time to return to the nest after taking your friend away to target us, otherwise your friend will not be spared, although there are many sea apes this time, the leader is only the early stage of the third order, after being killed by us, the other low-level demon beasts will also evacuate on their own. ”
The bald man continued: "There is an accompanying pharmacist on the ship, and I will call him over in a moment to see if your friend is okay. ”
"I'm tired of Brother Meng. Ba Fenghan continued: "I see that there are female disciples on the ship, I wonder if this friend of mine can ask your female disciples to take care of one or two, and trouble Brother Meng to arrange another room for me, after all, there are differences between men and women." ”
"Don't worry, I'll immediately send someone to arrange your friend to the women's dormitory on the second floor, and then call the pharmacist to take a look. Montaigne left.
Four days later, after some conditioning, Cheng Xue was no longer in serious trouble except for her weak body. The big ship also arrived at the sea near Hanxiao City, and you can already see the towering city walls and piers in the distance.
Cheng Xue and Ba Fenghan stood side by side on the deck, looking at Hanxiao City in the distance, speechless.
Cheng Xue looked sad, Han Xiaocheng was finally close in front of her, but her good sister Mu Wanqing could no longer see it, and even Uncle Mu had been buried in the sea.
Ba Fenghan observed Cheng Xue's changes, and did not say anything to comfort him, after all, this matter started because of him, he didn't know how to speak, and some unforgettable pain could only be slowly consumed by himself.
Ba Feng looked at Han Xiaocheng coldly, but his heart was not calm.
In three years, when I went to Hanxiao City to hold a trade fair, I don't know if the two good brothers who were cruel to him because of a bet on the remnants of Dapeng will come this year.
