Chapter 694: Water Monster
Xiao Chen rushed back to his residence, and said to Piaopiao, who was reading books and tasting tea: "Simply pack up your things, let's go to the southeast of Dachu to have a while,"
"Play," said the goddess, who slowly raised her head and looked at him with big spiritual eyes, "how can you be so interested in going so far away?"
The little marquis smiled and said: "Isn't it winter soon, the climate in the north is cold, let's just go to the south to escape the cold, and we can catch fish and fight water monsters or something, it's more interesting than staying here,"
The goddess frowned: "You won't agree to help those fishermen destroy water monsters,"
He was stunned: "You know everything,"
The goddess put down the book in her hand, stood up and said: "Please, no matter how bad it is, I am also the Holy Sect Master of the Pantheistic Sect, do you know how many of our eyeliners are in the emperor, everything that happens here, how can it escape the attention of the eyeliners, they have already told me about this, Shuntian Mansion Yin accepted bribes from others, but he was unable to move the rescue soldiers from the emperor, and the fishermen made trouble at the gate of the palace...... You didn't happen to meet them, did you?"
The little marquis smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "It's all right, I can't get used to those servants and dogs fighting people, so I beat one of them, and the result is ...... As you know, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and when the fishermen heard that I was a peerless master, they all knelt down and pleaded, and the sincerity of the words made it impossible to refuse, so they agreed,"
"You, we went to the southeast, what about the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north," Piao Piao asked rhetorically,
A smile reappeared on the face of the little marquis: "It's simple, I've already thought about it, let them still adopt a strategy that can't be held, even if the Chu army comes to provoke, don't ignore it,"
The goddess shrugged: "Okay, who told you that you have promised those people, you can't be untrustworthy, then let's go southeast,"
"Hehe, it's better to be fluttering with me," he stepped forward and grabbed the goddess's soft waist, kissed her vigorously on the face, and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to fight with the fierce beasts in the sea, the sea creatures are very different from the beasts on land, and the original Lost Sea can only be regarded as a freshwater lake, and there is no way to compare with the sea,"
"Alright, let's go,"
For the vast sea, Piao Piao is also yearning,
The fishermen, who call themselves islanders, live on several contiguous islands and have been fishing, gathering and drying salt for generations.
When Shuncheon Mansion Yin heard that Xiao Chen was going to stand up for them, the first thing he did was to return the property to the fishermen intact and ask for their forgiveness.
The fishermen were overjoyed and handed over the gift to Xiao Chen, but he politely refused.
These gifts include oversized saltwater pearls, exquisite corals, and so on, which have been the result of the hard work of generations of fishermen.
They traveled all the way south, and then turned back to the east, passing through Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and finally came to the southeast of Jiaozhou.
These islands belong to the vassals of Great Chu, and they have to pay a considerable amount of taxes to the Jiaozhou government every year, and the Great Chu Emperor has issued an order to ensure their safety, so after the appearance of water monsters, they will go to the emperor-capital to ask for assistance from the suzerain.
It's a pity that the suzerain, which they have paid for sixty years of taxes, is busy with the big tent and has no time to take care of it.
After seeing the sea, the little marquis suddenly felt that his whole heart was much broader, and he ran back and forth on the beach like a child with Piao Piao.
The fishermen blew their horns, and immediately three medium-sized mast boats sailed out of the island and headed for this direction.
Since the appearance of a large number of water monsters, most of the time they dare not go to sea, because every time they encounter the attack of water monsters, even if the ship is moored in the harbor, it is not guaranteed to be 100% safe.
You can't go to the sea to fish, and the daily life of the islanders is not guaranteed.
The three boats landed smoothly, and the fishermen on it all breathed a sigh of relief, the leader was called Balai, a middle-aged man with bronzed skin, and his arms and muscles were knotted on the outside of his sweatshirt, he was not only the most experienced fisherman on the island, but also the person with the highest level of soul warriors, the third level of the Immortal Martial Realm,
He didn't see the big Chu soldiers in groups, his face had a disappointment that he couldn't hide, in the eyes of the people, only the powerful Chu State could help them exterminate the water monster,
However, when the clansmen introduced Xiao Chen and Piao Piao to him, saying that these two were masters who surpassed the Holy Martial Realm, Balai and the clansmen were overjoyed,
You must know that in the history of the island country, the highest-level soul warrior is only the Xuanwu Realm, and the Holy Martial Realm has always been an unattainable level.
Balai warmly invited the two to the ship, ordered the boat to sail, and had people signal to the people of the island to be ready to welcome the guests.
"Patriarch Balai, can you tell us about the specific situation of the water monster," Xiao Chen asked.
On the way here, the fishermen have roughly talked about the situation of the water monster, but after such a long time, I believe it has made a big difference.
Balai nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In the past half a month, the level of those water monsters has increased significantly, the length of their bodies has increased from the original four meters to six meters, and they can shoot water arrows from their mouths, easily penetrate the thick hull, and their speed in the sea is extremely agile, I led the people to try to counterattack with harpoons and strong crossbows, but it didn't work at all, and they had to pay a huge price every time,"
The so-called water monsters are giant seahorses that can swim freely in diving and deep water, and suddenly jump out of the water to attack fishing boats and people on them, making fishermen unprepared.
Seahorse beasts not only attack fishing boats and humans, but also kill a large number of fish, where they exist, fish and shrimp within a radius of one mile will escape cleanly, and the living conditions of fishermen will be further squeezed.
"In addition to its speed, what are the characteristics of the seahorse beast," the little marquis asked again,
Balai replied, "They are covered in hard-hard shells, and ordinary knives and guns have no effect at all, even if they are harpoons made of purple gold, if they don't hit the critical parts, they will be bounced back."
Snore......
A white blister popped up from the side of the boat, and several fishermen standing nearby changed their faces at the same time, and one of them shouted loudly: "Oh no, the monster is going to appear,"
Balai picked up the harpoon beside him and explained: "Every time the seahorse beast appears, it will spit out the exhaust gas in the body, forming white blisters, they are about to appear, don't worry, we will definitely send you to the island safely,"
The little marquis smiled dumbly: "We are here to help you solve the problem, why do you still need your protection on the other hand?"
Balai was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and patted his head: "I'm nervous, I'm really embarrassed to forget the origin of the two......"
Before he could finish his words, a seahorse with a length of more than six meters jumped out of the water, its whole body showed a bronze-like texture, its round eyes were staring at three fishing boats, its long mouth was aimed at one of them, and suddenly a water arrow erupted,
And the target it chose was precisely the ship that Xiao Chen and Piao Piao were riding.
