Chapter 16.37 Gods and Demons

The hurricane subsided, and everyone in the fleet breathed a sigh of relief, but Jia Jiu's heart suddenly showed an alarm.

It was as if he was being targeted by something, and he felt pressured.

Even if he was flying in mid-air, Jia Jiu couldn't help but crawl out of a cold sweat on his back.

Below!

The ocean that human beings know will always be only the tip of the iceberg of the part he is willing to show, and it is this tip of the iceberg that has already made Jia Jiu break out in a cold sweat.

Jia Jiu knew that the only thing that could threaten him was in the sea, those sea monsters that had never shown themselves in front of people, and those sea monsters that were once revered as gods.

Jia Jiu found that just below him, something was slowly approaching!

"Get out of here, get out of here!"

Jia Jiu immediately transmitted the message to the people in the fleet, and he didn't care if his transmission would anger the monster underwater. He even moved nearly a hundred feet into the distance, just to make sure that the thing was coming up at him or the fleet.

Those sailors and pirates were stunned when they got Jia Jiu's message, but those people in the Dao Sect immediately rushed down when they got Jia Jiu's news.

After all, a machine is a machine, and it takes time to get it into operation. Even if Jia Jiu's heart was very anxious, from the time the Daoists started to act to the time the ship left its original position, it still took some effort after all. Even if the time was not very long, in the eyes of those sailors, it was about the same as usual, but when a long black shadow suddenly emerged from the water and grazed the Moon Fox to entangle the pirate's black ship. Everyone who saw it gasped.

Then came the second and third articles.

At first, sailors from the interior thought it was the legend of the snake. Everybody has heard of it. How big is Dongting Lake, and it has raised a big snake like the Ba Snake, not to mention the sea? - However, when one black shadow after another wrapped around the famous black ship, causing the black ship to make a terrible creaking sound, everyone changed color.

A ship that can sail freely in a storm is obviously not an ordinary cargo. Such a ship could not resist. How can you resist the flesh and blood of a person?

On the contrary, Jia Jiu, after relying on his cultivation, his ears and eyes are much sharper than ordinary people. At a glance, I saw the neatly arranged suction cups on the black shadow.

It wasn't a sea snake at all, but a big octopus that was more terrifying than a sea snake.

The octopus is a very intelligent creature, and if it weren't for the short lifespan of this race, I am afraid that it would not be the turn of humans to rule the world. Equally. The average species of octopus is not large. An octopus that can grow to the size of a sea monster is definitely not easy to deal with.

What's more, octopuses like jars and other containers, and in another world, Jia Jiu has heard more than once that some people use octopuses to salvage antiques in the sea, such as porcelain from a shipwreck in the Song Dynasty.

The problem is, except for containers such as jars. Octopuses also love boats!

Sure enough, the fourth tentacle didn't reach out to the black ship - he boarded the side of the Heart Moon Fox!

It is also a pity that there are no sailors on the deck of the Moon Fox. Otherwise, the sailors would have already taken out their weapons to attack.

That only angered these sea beasts.

It is impossible for ordinary humans to hurt this giant beast with ordinary weapons, and it is impossible to even break the defense, at most they can only tickle the other party. But the octopus is inherently intelligent, and if it senses hostility, the octopus can definitely pierce through the wood of the hull with a slight wave of his tentacles - after all, these ships are only made of wood, not the same as those warships of later generations, and they are made of special steel, which is not only strong and durable, but also resistant to magnetism, rust and corrosion.

Although the person stayed in mid-air, Jia Jiu's mind was running fast. He thought about it for a moment and suddenly made an astonishing decision.

He landed on the deck of the Heartmoon Fox and began throwing cheeseballs onto the suction cups of the octopus tentacles.

That's right, it's the thumb-sized milk balls mixed with milk, sugar and raisins.

And, a throw is a handful.

Jia Jiu saw with his own eyes that the suction cup was wrapped in the milk candy, and then watched the milk candy melt little by little.

【Delicious.】 What is this? 】

A slightly muffled voice sounded in Jia Jiu's mind, stabbing Jia Jiu's head and almost falling.

Jia Jiu held his head and shook it vigorously, waiting for the pain to subside a little before stopping. Jia Jiu stood up straight, sank into the dantian, and said, "This is toffee." ”

[Huh? Can you hear me? 】

This sentence was accompanied by a huge sound of water. I saw a big, smooth head pop up, and there were two big eyes like a puppy on the head - it was too big, but it didn't have the wet, cute feeling of a puppy, it only made people feel terrifying.

Jia Jiu said: "The boat is for you, and there is also toffee." Hopefully we can leave safely. ”

[And toffee?] 】

"Yes." Jia Jiu estimated it and said, "Like just now, it should be enough to give you three tentacles." ”

Is that all? 】

"It's a snack I have for myself. If you like toffee, then the next time we pass through this sea, bring it to you. ”

[Really? I love toffee. 】

"However, it is only when the ship is like this time, when it goes from north to south, that there will be toffee on board. Because this kind of thing is only produced in my hometown. ”

[I know, just like a mirage can only stay in the shallow sea, not go to the deep sea. How many can you bring me next time? 】

Jia Jiu thought for a while, resisted a jack jar from the side, and said, "Next time the fleet comes, I will prepare such a jar of toffee." ”

[Oh, oh, oh. I like this tank. 】

"The jar can be given to you."

[Ah, you're so nice. So, this, I'll take it first. By the way, your boat is special, can you send me? 】

"I've already loosened you."

[But that's too small.] 】

Jia Jiu said: "I'm afraid not." Although there were thirty-three ships in the fleet. However, we went south in search of food. Ships are meant to be used to transport food. If there is less, I am afraid that someone will starve to death. ”

[Oh.] If you find it, remember to bring me some. That's right. Give me the toffee. 】

As he spoke, he saw two tentacles on the side of the Xinyue Fox. These two tentacles are the same as the previous one, they are all stretched, and the suction cups on the tentacles are also open, allowing Jia Jiu to sprinkle milk candy into these suction cups.

Jia Jiu quickly rushed into the cabin, and then came out with a large basket. He put the toffee from the basket into the suction cup on the tentacle of the big octopus one by one. When the basket is empty, turn it over. Show it to the big octopus.

The big octopus is really no longer entangled. When the last handful of toffee was digested, I heard the sound of the sea gurgling, and the octopus disappeared into the sea with the black boat and the jack tank sent by Jia Jiu.

In smooth water. The moonlight is sultry.

If it weren't for the lingering smell of blood in the cabin of the Xinyue Fox, I am afraid that Jia Jiu would have thought that he was dreaming.

Yu Ziqing hurriedly came and said, "Senior sister, do you recognize this strange beast?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "I don't recognize it." ”

"But the junior sister just talked to the strange beast......

"Senior brother heard that?"

"Hmm." Yu Ziqing nodded. Said: "It's not just what my sister said. And the beast said. When they return to the mountain, the foolish brother will report to the master one by one. I hope my sister doesn't mind. ”

Jia Jiu said: "That's just right. After that, we will prepare a vat of toffee on our ship. It's good as road money. ”

"How did Senior Sister know that this strange beast would like toffee?"

Jia Jiu replied: "It's not that I know that he will like it, but it's just a guess." ”

"Guess?"

Jia Jiu replied, "Yes." Guess. Animism. This alien beast was able to grow to such a large size, and it was obviously impossible for it to remain in a state of chaos all the time. The oceans are so vast, the food is abundant, and the beasts are so powerful, they don't necessarily need to attack ships to fill their stomachs. So. I'm going to take a gamble. If he's here to fill his stomach, there's no way. can only fight to the death. ”

Ye Zhiqiu also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He knew that this strange beast in the sea always had some magical powers. Moreover, the sea beast looked rough and thick-skinned, and it was really about to fight, with the strength of the two of them, maybe they did have the ability to take down this sea beast. But if you hit one and attract a group, it's a nightmare.

Moreover, if the sea beast is dying and struggling, I am afraid that the ship will have to give an account here.

That's definitely not going to be a good thing.

After the two brothers and sisters exchanged opinions, they went to find Zheng Laohu.

They have many things to ask this man.

No, Zheng Laohu actually shrank in the corner and trembled, and the moment he saw Jia Jiu, he trembled even more obviously. Even if he is a fool, he can find that his fear of Jia Jiu is sincere, not like before, although he is respectful, but there are always small calculations that are indispensable in his eyes, even if he surrenders to Yu Ziqing's force, but the unruly in his eyes cannot be hidden.

Yu Ziqing frowned and said, "...... are you?"

Zheng Laohu flinched and secretly looked at Jia Jiu who was standing behind him, and Jia Jiu's expression was not worried, and he trembled even more.

Yu Ziqing narrowed his eyes and said, "If you are afraid, this kind of acting is too exaggerated." ”

Zheng Laohu shook his throat and said, "This, this is how terrible you don't know about this kind of troll!" The Black Ship is already the best pirate ship in the world, but what is the result? What did the troll do when it dragged him into the sea? People at sea are worth it, and when you encounter such a troll, it is equivalent to death. Why, why do you understand monsters? Why ......"

Jia Jiu said: "There is no reason. It's just that my senior brother and I are both cultivators, and that sea beast is also a beast cultivator among cultivators. It's just that the sea monster rarely interacts with people, so he understands what we say, but he can't speak. So much for. ”

"So, you understand the trolls?"

Jia Jiu glanced at Zheng Laohu, turned around and went back to his room.

He's going to have to make nautical charts.

Waiting for Jia Jiu to leave, Yu Ziqing said, "Which direction are those islands you are talking about?" ”

Zheng Laohu was really stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "You mean, those islands with rice?" ”

"Yes."

"Your boat is too fast, and the wind is a little wrong. I need a moment to tell. ”

"Huh? That's not what you said before? ”

Zheng Laohu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know what that giant beast is?" ”

Yu Ziqing was surprised that Zheng Laohu would bring up this topic at this time. He looked at Zheng Laohu silently, waiting for Zheng Laohu to continue.

Zheng Laohu said: "In the sea, the only one who can call the wind and rain is the Dragon King." The dragon is the most respected god and the most feared demon for those who live on the sea. And the giant beast, which had been seen, followed the dragon king on his patrol. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Laohu's expression was already a little wrong, and he said as if he was crazy: "Being able to compete with the most powerful gods and demons in the sea, and even being able to talk to the Dragon King's dependents, can such a person still be called a human?" Is he really not a god and demon walking around in human skin? ”

Yu Ziqing was stunned.

He suddenly didn't know how to answer Zheng Laohu.

Jia Jiu's cultivation speed and foundation have always been a mystery on Yuqing Mountain.

At the beginning, everyone just thought that Jia Jiu was talented, so his cultivation speed was much faster than others. However, the speed of cultivation is fast, and this foundation may not be stable.

This also makes the consensus of almost everyone on Yuqing Mountain, and it is also the consensus of Daomen for many years.

But the appearance of Jia Jiu obviously subverted this consensus. Jia Jiu's cultivation is not weak, but this foundation is also very solid. The last evidence is that Jia Jiu got the highest token of the Yinyi Daozi assessment. There is another evidence, and that is Dao Zhen's strongest sword formation.

At the beginning, after Jia Jiu independently cast the strongest sword formation of Dao Zhen, more than one person was shocked, and the candidates of the silver-clothed Daozi knew very well that their cultivation was not enough to support running this formation alone. But the silver-clothed Taoists above have all been secretly experimented.

Think about those silver-clothed Taoists, isn't that one who has been practicing for hundreds of years, isn't that the foundation and cultivation are very outstanding, and they have gone through many tests before they get the status that everyone respects today? However, even if he was the first person in the silver-clothed Daozi, Daokui Ling Bozi, in the process of the test, he suffered a lot of internal injuries, not to mention, and he couldn't start the battle at all!

At that time, a seed was planted in the hearts of a few insiders: no matter how high Tong Yunliu's talent was, he had only practiced for more than ten years, how could he compare to Daokui's hundreds of years of penance?

Now that he has listened to Zheng Laohu's words, Yu Ziqing has no more doubts: Is this junior sister really not human?

Don't talk about the things you cultivate. Let's talk about salt and fertilizer, so much information is not fake, although it is not as all-encompassing as the Taoist collection, but the above records are quite detailed and complete.

This is definitely not your average legacy.

And this ship.

If it weren't for this junior sister's insistence, who would have believed that this ship could run so fast without sails or manpower, but with a few machines with an oar?

Now, here's the problem. Who is this junior sister?

Or rather, who is he sacred? Is it God? Is it a demon? Is it positive? Is it evil? For the Daomen and the common people, is it good or harmful? (To be continued.) )
