0219 Mystic Egg
After staying in the imperial city for a few more days, Xia Qi prepared everything and prepared to leave for the South China Sea.
As for the fragments of the ancient artifact that he got from Lingwu before, Xia Qi also asked Bai Ze in the mountains and seas, but Bai Ze was not omniscient, and it was also unfamiliar with the fragments of the ancient artifact, so everything had to be explored by Xia Qi himself.
And this time the team going to the South China Sea, in addition to him, the Second Elder and Xiahou Baiqiu, Ye Rourou and Gongliangsuke and Monk Jinguang were also together, Xia Qi was really not used to so many people acting together, but thinking that the South China Sea was a strange and unknown place, and it was safer with more people, so he didn't refuse.
After a few people casually set a date, they left Fengdu directly through the teleportation array of the imperial city and headed for the South China Sea, which is known as the small heavenly realm!
On the way, Xia Qi also often asked Gongliangsuke about the South China Sea, and he should have asked Monk Jinguang about this kind of thing, but the latter had stayed in the fairy holy capital for too long, even older than the war of the ancient artifact fragments, so his memories were of little value to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi focused on asking about the Dragon Palace, and from Gongliangsuke's mouth, he knew that the Dragon Palace dominated the South China Sea, and even if the forces of the Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Realm were ranked, the Dragon Palace could even be squeezed into the top three!
The Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea has its own unique 'sea spiritual power', which is comparable to the heavenly spiritual power of the heavenly realm, so that the dragon clan and various water tribes can get cultivation resources equal to the heavenly realm without having to fly to the heavenly realm, so as to dominate the ocean!
As for Xia Qi who had been asking about the Dragon Palace, Ye Rourou on the side also interjected with a smile: "Brother Xia seems to be very interested in the Dragon Palace! ”
The Jinguang monk on the side also echoed: "That's right, I once went to the Dragon Palace once, although it was beautiful, but it was extremely unwelcoming to humans, and before I even had time to say a word, I was directly driven away, and even almost died." ”
Xia Qi nodded, and listened to Gongliangsuke say again: "The dragon king of this generation of the Dragon Palace is named Ao Qiong, and now he is a super powerhouse in the Great Tribulation Realm, and he can also be ranked among the top five in the heavens and on the ground, and he is recognized as one of the three people in the heavenly realm who are most likely to break through to the Sumeru realm and enter the ancient god realm. ”
Xia Qi was curious when he heard this: "Then who are the other two?"
"One is the Donghuang Yeyu, the gate master of the Lingtian Gate, and the other is the Wuji Pavilion master Shangguan Wuji, these two people and the Dragon King Ao Qiong are both in the Huangquan Realm in the Three Realms of the Great Tribulation, and one step further, it is the ancient god!" Gongliang said.
"The Three Realms of the Great Tribulation?" Xia Qi was still very unfamiliar with this realm.
"It is the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, the Purgatory Realm, and the Yellow Spring Realm, and only after experiencing the tribulation of these three realms can we cross the Great Tribulation Realm and enter the Ancient God Realm. "Monk Jinguang said.
Gongliangsuke nodded and continued: "There are still a few people in the Heavenly Realm of the Yellow Spring Realm, but they are either too old or have just entered this realm, so they can't be compared to the previous three. ”
Talking about this topic, Monk Jinguang was also interested, and asked out loud: "How many years have passed since the last time the Ancient God Realm was opened?"
"It is recorded in the annals that the last ancient god was born 170,000 years ago, and that ancient god was named Lin Xiuling, who was a female ancient god, and the last one was 410,000 years ago...... The next one was 550,000 years ago......"
Gongliangsuke gushed endlessly, and Xia Qi finally knew why he called it an ancient god, a god who could not be born in 100,000 years, it was really rare...... It's no wonder that some poets moan without illness // When chanting, they always have to say a few words about immortality, which is really slim......
"I remember that millions of years ago, there was also an ancient dragon god born in the Dragon Palace, but after that dragon god entered the ancient god realm, he had no contact with the Dragon Palace. Monk Jinguang remembered something and said out loud.
Several people talked all the way about topics related to the South China Sea, and unconsciously left Fengdu for more than a month, they kept a low profile all the way, but nothing happened, and at this time they had come to a small city on the edge of the eastern soil, Linhai City.
Out of this seaside city, there is an endless ocean, and this ocean is the South China Sea.
The Eastern Earth, the Western Regions, the South China Sea, and the Northern Underworld, the four largest areas in the Netherworld, Xia Qi can now be regarded as coming to the second place.
Linhai City is located at the junction of the South China Sea and the Eastern Earth, so the spiritual power here is also very pure, and I feel that living in such a place, even my temper will be much better.
"After this seaside city is the South China Sea, and the South China Sea is not docked with the eastern soil with a spatial rift, so we still need to rely on a boat to get there. Gongliang said.
"Do you want to take a boat? Wouldn't that take a lot of time?" Xia Qi frowned.
"As soon as you get to the first island, there will be a teleportation spirit circle on the island, and then you can move directly from island to island. Gongliang said.
"It's still early, and there are boats at the dock. The second elder said, "King, do you want to leave now?"
There is nothing worth stopping in this Linhai City, Xia Qi nodded and said, "Then let's go to the islands in the South China Sea!"
He suddenly thought of something again, and wondered, "Even if you don't have a teleportation spirit array, isn't it faster to fly?"
Ye Rourou said with a smile: "Brother Xia doesn't know, this offshore sea from Dongtu to the first island in the South China Sea is not allowed to fly. ”
"Why?"
"Because this is the boundary between the East Earth and the South China Sea, when you go to the sea, it no longer belongs to the East Earth, and the coastal sea is imprisoned by the Dragon Palace, the meaning of this is to tell the people of the East Earth that entering the South China Sea is the world of the Dragon Palace, and you must show absolute respect for the Dragon Palace, you can't fly or teleport, you can only take a boat, otherwise, there will be no such thing as a teleportation spirit array. Gongliang said.
"This Dragon Palace is really domineering!"
A few people went to the dock, the dock was quite lively, the noise was endless, but when a few people approached, they knew what was going on, a few fishing boats were attacked by sea monsters after going to sea, many people died, and now the whole dock has stopped operating.
Fishing is not a safe industry in the South China Sea, after all, there is a domineering dragon palace, so fishermen must be extremely careful when fishing, once they are discovered by the sea monster, it must be a certain death.
And the so-called sea monsters, in fact, are some small soldiers in the Dragon Palace Water Tribe, humans hunt and kill their species, they hunt and kill humans, becoming a cycle of death.
The so-called relying on the mountains and the water to eat the water, these fishermen actually have no choice to survive, this time they suffered huge losses, and the boats were damaged a lot, so Xia Qi and a few people saw a lot of desperate expressions on this pier.
"I didn't expect that there were water tribes in the Dragon Palace making trouble at such an edge. Seeing this scene, Ye Rourou said in surprise.
But his words were heard by a few fishermen passing by, and they heard one of the fishermen say: "This prince doesn't know, a few days ago, a little black dragon in the Dragon Palace died inexplicably in this offshore sea, and in order to find out the murderer who killed the black dragon, this sea will not be peaceful these days." ”
Another fisherman sighed and said, "Guys, you have to go out to sea by boat, right?"
Xia Qi nodded.
"That's really unfortunate, after today's incident, until the murderer who killed the black dragon is found, it is estimated that no ship will dare to go to sea. The fisherman said.
"Looks like we're going to have to change cities. The Second Elder said.
"It's the same for any other city, the Dragon Palace is powerful, no one dares to offend them, and now a dragon has died in this sea, this is a big thing, and it won't be peaceful. The fisherman sighed and left from Xia Qi and the others.
"The death of a dragon, this matter is indeed a bit serious, the dragon clan is rare, every dragon is extremely precious to the dragon clan, it seems that we can only wait for this matter to settle down, and then go to sea. Gongliang said.
"How long will it take? If you can't find the murderer, those water tribes have been making trouble in this coastal water, wouldn't you have to go to sea?" Xia Qi frowned.
On the side, the golden light monk showed those two rows of golden teeth, grinned and suggested, "Why don't we just buy a boat and go to sea." ”
"It's an idea. "Ye Rou Judo.
But Kiryosuke shook his head and said, "This will be a problem." ”
Xia Qi hesitated for a moment, feeling that the black dragon was not killed by them anyway, and they didn't go to sea to fish, so those water tribes had no reason to embarrass them at all, so they said with certainty: "It's decided!"
So after staying in this Linhai City for a night, Xia Qi and the others directly bought a merchant ship, but because no one dared to be sailors, they could only spend a few days to learn some knowledge such as sailing and steering, and set sail on the seventh day of coming to this Linhai City.
…
The sea breeze was blowing, and the small merchant ship sailed to the island, the sea was extremely quiet, and it was not difficult to see from the compassionate eyes of the fishermen who saw them off that the voyage was definitely full of dangers.
"These people are also crazy, they dare to go to sea at this time, I don't know if they will survive until tomorrow morning. The fishermen at the dock chatted among themselves.
"Those people don't look like ordinary people, I hope they're safe!"
"Those water tribes are too arrogant, don't let Lao Tzu catch the lone one in the future, otherwise you will never be soft on cramps and peeling skins!"
“……”
On the small merchant ship of Xia Qi and a few people, Ye Rourou looked at the blue sky, and her mood suddenly became very good, of course, it would be better if there were only two people on this ship, he and Xia Qi.
Gongliangsuke walked to his side at some point, looked at the calm sea and said, "It will take at least seven days from here to the first island 'Azure Island', these seven days are enough for those water tribes to find us 10,000 times, how does Brother Ye think we should deal with it then?"
"What, as a good brother, are you afraid that they won't be able to eat you?" Ye Rourou's mouth raised a trace of arc and smiled.
Gongryosuke didn't mind, and continued: "The Dragon Palace has never bought the face of anyone and forces, not to mention that now that a dragon has died there, we still go to sea at this time, which can be regarded as a great disrespect to them, so ......"
"So we're at sea now, and we're scared now, isn't it too late?"
Gongliangsuke smiled and said, "I want to say, if we really have a conflict with the Water Tribe, what will Brother Ye do?"
"If you can't do it, then you can only kill. Ye Rourou said lightly.
Gongliangsuke shook his head helplessly when he heard this, the people in this boat are really abnormal, he suddenly has a feeling that he is going to be pitted, he has been to the South China Sea so many times, this time it is estimated that it is the most exciting.
Xia Qi stayed in the cabin at this time, anyway, he was cultivating the mental method that Ling Wu gave him to be able to breathe in the water, such a mental method is not difficult to cultivate, but it is to open a few key acupuncture points, and ventilate with a specific meridian route to achieve the effect of ingesting air in the water.
Xiahou Baiqiu stayed quietly by his side, Xia Qi also taught her this kind of mental method during this time, but she was obviously smarter than Xia Qi, and she learned it one step earlier, and this also made her very proud.
In fact, in addition to the smugness on her face, there is also a little worry, after all, those fishermen are so terrible, she is also worried about whether they will really meet those so-called sea monsters at sea, after all, this is people's territory, if they really meet, the consequences will not be very good-looking, anyway, it is impossible to be like in Dongtu, even if you lose, you can hide, in this vast sea, where can you hide?
In her worries, the small merchant ship sailed safely and soundly at sea for half a day, and at a certain moment, Xiahou Baiqiu, who was bored, suddenly heard a little strange noise from the back of the ship, and then there was the sound of falling into the water.
She looked at Xia Qi, this guy still closed his eyes and didn't notice, there was no way, she could only get up by herself and walk cautiously to the back of the boat.
Under the slight shaking of the ship, Xiahou Baiqiu walked to the small warehouse at the back of the merchant ship, where a small window that was originally closed was opened, and she looked around, and found a big egg in a large wooden barrel!
She could only hold the egg with both hands, but she didn't dare to move it because of the fear in her heart, and at this moment, suddenly a voice startled her!
"What are you doing?"
looked behind him with a frightened face, but Xia Qi had woken up at some point and walked to the door of this small warehouse.
"Xia Qi, there is an egg here. Xiahou Baiqiu said in a very soft voice.
Xia Qi frowned when he heard this, walked over to take a look, and really saw a white egg the size of his hands in the big wooden barrel.
"How can there be an egg here?"
"I don't know, but I just heard the sound of falling water. She pointed to the small open window, "I checked this window before, it was closed, but when I came in, it opened inexplicably. ”
Xia Qi was puzzled, and when he was about to reach out to pick up the egg in the barrel, he saw the egg suddenly move, and then a sound came out.
"Click!"
