Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Bad Move
Lin Qian guessed correctly, Raymond did have an accident. He flew all the way south from the place where the two giant beasts were fighting, and happened to see the Great Elder's ship halfway through. This lazy dragon just left people to the Great Elder and wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be grabbed by Potlem, and he had to ask what was going on.
Raymond was originally arranged by Lin Qian to follow Lin Qian in the air, in case he came down to pick up Lin Qian and them when he had a "need" - this "need" was mainly to prevent Portlem. After all, Lin Qian was still a person who didn't trust Nanyang very much, not to mention that he came here with other purposes.
"Won't you just ask this captain to understand the matter? I'm one of his subordinates, can I know what he wants to do?" Raymond was still very reluctant to pretend to be stupid, and inadvertently revealed that Lin Qian had another purpose for coming here.
"Old man is curious, when did you dragons like to listen to humans?" Potlime asked as he sat peacefully on a wicker chair and squinted his eyes.
"Of course I'll have to listen to you tie me up like that. Raymond pretended not to understand, and he struggled hard, but he still couldn't tear off the seemingly tiny vines.
"If you've been so uncooperative, I'll have to lock you up temporarily. ”
"You...... Don't forget, I'm a dragon!" Raymond was anxious when he heard this, and he in turn threatened the other party with the dragon.
"Dragons, if the Dragons are really strong enough, they won't shrink into a domain and dare not see people. The words of Potlime pointed to the current plight of the dragons.
Many forces have such a manifestation: when their power is small and their strength is very weak, they will be friendly with the outside world, be stable and steady, and seek peaceful development; when their power reaches a certain level, they will slowly pursue their rights and even oppose the mainstream forces; when their power is overwhelmingly superior, they will crowd out other forces and even eliminate all forces that threaten their rule. The dragons are now in the first situation, and the humans are in the third situation, so the dragons can only seek refuge and development by living in seclusion and ignorance of the world.
Although Potlime didn't know what Lin Qian's other purpose was, it was certain that this old dragon knew something, and he must have a special purpose as Lin Qian's eyeliner arranged in the sky. In short, this dragon can't be let go, and catching him at a critical moment can still play a role.
Turning the bow of the ship, Nanyang and his party went in the direction of Takeshima. Because if they met Lin Qian at this time, they wouldn't be able to explain where Raymond went. Lin Qian couldn't know all this, and he was still waiting for news from Raymond at the moment.
"President, Raymond hasn't come for so long, isn't there really an accident? There are many people on this island who have already seen it, I'm afraid that the Nanyang side will know about it soon, so it's better to act quickly!" a magician reminded Lin Qian.
"How to act?" Lin Qian was a little puzzled.
"I just saw a big ship behind the island, and if you snatch the bones from the mouth of the beast, you can put it on that ship and transport it back. ”
"That's the boat of the island's residents, do you want to ......" Lin Qian frowned, he seemed to understand, "Take it away from them?"
"Yes. The magician was not embarrassed at all, as if it was normal to do so.
Lin Qian is really speechless about the order of this world, and strong people can do whatever they want? Lin Qian especially despises this kind of behavior—well, then he is not optimistic.
"Okay, you go get this done. Lin Qian turned his head away from looking, and the guilt in his heart seemed to be lighter.
If there is a fight, there will definitely be a fight, and if it is not good, there will be casualties, but Lin Qian knows that the magicians under his command know the severity, and in the face of the unarmed residents, the most they can do is to set up a few magic enchantments to block them.
"The ship is coming!" The efficiency of the magician is high, and he can drive the ship by himself if he takes away the ship, which is simply carrying unlimited energy with him.
"Okay, then I'm sorry, Mr. Behemoth, we're going to take your treasure away!" Lin Qian and a few magicians landed in front of the Behemoth and looked at it with a smile.
The giant beast had been concentrating on fiddling with the hand bones, almost forgetting the group of people on his back, seeing Lin Qian's reaction, did he come to grab the hand bones?
"I'll go, didn't you think that others would rob it when you dug out the hand bones?" Lin Qian could see the behemoth's defense from its expression, and couldn't help but complain about its IQ.
"Will you hand it over yourself or will we snatch it up?" Lin Qian smiled evilly, completely different from the attitude he had discussed with the giant beast before.
The giant beast sensed the other party's unkindness, but he was not the opponent of these people, so he had to obediently drop his hand bones and take a few steps back. Several magicians looked at the hand bones covered with saliva, resisted their disgust, and began to cast spells to transport the hand bones to the ship.
"That's good, hey, don't be sad. It's useless if you take it, we take it back and study it and then help you get revenge. Lin Qian saw the giant beast staring at the hand bone with a look of grievance, and began to sympathize with it.
"We're leaving, you better go back to the sea!" After loading the hand bones, Lin Qian waved his hand proudly at the giant beast.
Everyone got on the boat, Lin Qian served as the temporary captain at this time, looked at the position of the sun, identified the direction, and set sail towards the north.
"It's good that there is the sun, otherwise we wouldn't have found the north. Lin Qian looked at the island that was getting farther away and sighed, it was normal to get lost in the sea.
"yes, or I wouldn't have found you. An abrupt voice sounded, and Lin Qian turned around to see that it was Potlaim standing on the deck.
"Great Elder?" Lin Qian stammered. At the same time, the surrounding magicians hurriedly surrounded them, and they had the intention of making a move.
"You robbed my ship and wanted to transport away our treasures in the South Seas, you are too bold. "Potlime is not angry, but he is already a little angry at this time.
"Oh, Great Elder, we happened to be looking for you, we didn't expect to meet here What a coincidence!" Lin Qian hurriedly waved away the surrounding magicians and pretended to laugh. Although both of them are aware of the facts in this situation, it is not good to really tear their faces.
"yes, if it weren't for my intelligence unit on every island, we would almost never have met. Potlime sneered.
Lin Qian secretly said that it was a pity, it turned out that the residents of the island had sent out the information, otherwise he would have really left. After thinking about it for a while, Lin Qiancai said: "The Great Elder manages the place well, and the princess often praises you, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to come and assist the Great Elder in killing the fierce beasts. ”
First of all, this sentence seems to praise the Great Elder, but it is a praise for his good management of the "place", indicating that the Nanyang tribe is still nominally attached to the empire, and still has to pay tribute every year in exchange for peace and trade rights; second, Lin Qian moved out of the princess, which means that he came on behalf of the princess and the empire, and the other party should weigh the importance before doing things; third, Lin Qian once again stated that he came to help kill the fierce beast, and other things were secondary.
A shrewd old man like Potlime knew what Lin Qian wanted to express at first glance, so he didn't plan to dwell on this matter, after all, he invited someone to come.
"Although President Lin has not studied language for a few years, his eloquence is quite good. "Can you turn the bow of the ship and go back to the island to discuss?"
"Okay, the guest is as he pleases, and everything will be arranged according to the Great Elder. Lin Qian said with a smile.
Neither of them said a word about the obvious hand bones that could not be more obvious, but they both knew in their hearts what was most important.
Not long after he traveled, Lin Qian was forced to come back, this feeling of falling short was very uncomfortable, but he had to endure it, in front of this person who was equal in strength to the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King.
The giant beast was still on the island, and when he saw the big ship coming back, he hurriedly wanted to get his treasure, but he had to stop when he thought of the strength of those people, and hid behind the mountain without a mountain, and watched the situation from afar.
"Great Elder, do you know the origin of this giant beast?" Lin Qian saw at a glance the giant beast that although its head was hidden, most of its body was exposed. It's such an idiot that thinks that if you can't see others, others won't see it.
"I've never seen it, I've never heard of it, and I'm afraid it's more old than we know. Potlime looked at the stupid beast with some envy.
"It's definitely bigger than any living thing, and it's a lot bigger than Einbos. Lin Qian added.
"Have you seen that beast?"
"Yes, it took a blow from us and fled immediately. Lin Qian suddenly asked with some confusion, "Forgive me, I don't think its strength is so terrifying, why does the Great Elder want to mobilize the people so much?"
Poolem was silent for a while, and then said with some heaviness: "You don't understand, the most terrifying thing about that beast is not how powerful it is, but that it becomes stronger every time it fails. I was able to defeat it easily with just one move at first, and that time I let it go. Later, it got stronger and stronger, and although I was able to defeat it every time, it was able to escape every time. Later, I tried everything I could, and I only let it suffer a little bit of damage and beat it back. ”
It turns out that this beast also has its own resistance? This is a bit like a germ, using the same medicine for a long time, resulting in more and more resistant germs. (The most fundamental cause of drug-resistant bacteria is genetic mutations, and the use of drugs only eliminates the non-drug-resistant bacteria, resulting in an increase in the proportion of drug-resistant bacteria, which is just an inappropriate analogy.) )
"In this way, won't it be invincible in the future, and what is its strength now?" Lin Qian wanted to know what kind of strength this fierce beast had reached now.
"Now?" said Potlime, who had not recovered from the loss of his only son when the beast had taken away his only son.
"This beast has become the king of the sea, and as long as it does not come out of the water, I will not hurt it with all my might. It has never seen your methods, so it will flee in fright, which is one of the reasons why I came to you. I'll try to lure it out and hold it down as much as I can, and you'll be responsible for hitting it in the important places. If you can't kill it this time, I'm afraid it will really become an invincible existence. ”
