Chapter 81: The Dark Figure
Mu Bai asked as he ran in the muddy wetland, "What are the characteristics of the Ran Relic Fish?"
"The relict fish feeds on the souls of people, and the crew members who were killed by it are estimated that their souls have been devoured. In addition, as a deep-sea beast, it stands to reason that the lowest grade is five grades, but this Ran Relic Fish actually has come and gone with the host, which is too weird. The terminal system said.
Mu Bai finally found a place to go ashore along the muddy wetland, and asked angrily, "Is there any way to bring the Ran Yiyu to the inland river?"
"There are many ways, a certain high scholar can bring it over, or someone catches Ran Yiyu and deliberately puts it in Luhuadang. The terminal system said.
Mu Bai lay on the shore cleaning the mud under his feet, and asked: "These two possibilities are very low, if you want to block the dock, those seniors can say it, it is completely unnecessary." Is there a way to get Ran Yiyu to come here on his own initiative?"
"I need to search the database based on keywords and then analyze the possibilities, which can take some time. The terminal system said.
Mu Bai finally cleaned up the mud, and after resting for a while, he watched the sky gradually darken, and then got up and rushed towards the Luhuadang Wharf.
The dilapidated wooden bars still had dark red blood stains, and the ground was littered with tattered fishing nets and fishing baskets.
Mu Bai crossed the empty market full of fishy smell and came to a low houseboat, where a circle of ripples appeared behind Mu Bai, who continued to walk on the wooden trestle.
Suddenly, a pitch-black figure jumped out of the water, holding a harpoon in his hand and pounced on Mu Bai. Mu Bai pressed his sword against the harpoon, and the sword qi in the sky shot towards the pitch-black figure.
The pitch-black figure saw that the blow missed, dodged the sword qi and sank into the water again.
While guarding the surface of the water, Mu Bai asked, "Terminal, was that a human or a ghost just now?"
"Host, according to the scan results, that pitch-black figure is human, it's human. Also, I'm analyzing the data, don't bother me. The terminal system replied.
At this time, the trestle made a rumbling sound, and the pitch-black figure actually destroyed the entire trestle from underwater, Mu Bai sank into the water in response, and saw the pitch-black figure rushing towards him with a harpoon.
Mu Bai met the harpoon with a sword and forced it back. The pitch-black figure dived into the depths like a ghost, and then suddenly came out from behind Mu Bai and stabbed Mu Bai with a harpoon that emitted a cold light.
As soon as Mu Bai turned around and held the Frost Moon Sword to hold the harpoon, the pitch-black figure took advantage of the situation to push Mu Bai to the bottom of the water, intending to drown him.
Seeing this, Mu Bai's Frost Moon Sword emitted a piercing sword aura, and the sword qi spread to the jet-black figure, slowly condensing the surrounding lake.
The pitch-black figure withdrew the harpoon and smashed the ice crystals around his body, and Mu Bai took the opportunity to stab the pitch-black figure with a sword.
The pitch-black figure was lucky enough to dodge the sword that stabbed at the face, but it was still scratched by the sword qi, and quickly sank into the water with a scream.
Mu Bai hurriedly surfaced and took a deep breath.
After a while, Mu Bai climbed onto the shore and walked back to the inn to rest, wet.
After Yang San saw Mu Bai's appearance, he asked, "Didn't the guest officer go to the Sunset Chamber of Commerce, why did he come back wet?"
Mu Bai returned to the guest room and said, "I went to Luhuadang, met your water monster, and was dragged into the water by him and beat him. ”
Yang San was dumbfounded and said: "Guest officer, are you saying that you have not been injured in a fight with the water monster, the guest officer is really a god of war, and the dock has been saved." ”
Mu Bai waved his hand and said, "You go and fetch me a few buckets of hot water, I'm slimy and want to take a bath." Yang San said yes and left the room.
Mu Bai took off his clothes and soaked his whole body in hot water, and exhaled a sigh of relief.
"Host, found it. According to data analysis, it is very likely that Ran Yiyu was summoned by someone using spiritual magic. The requirements for parasitic spiritualism are not high, and only special sacrificial items need to be prepared, and even ordinary people can attract Ran Yiyu. But what was summoned in this way was only a crippled clone, and the grade was extremely low, but it was completely enough to deal with ordinary people. The terminal system said.
Mu Bai got up and wiped his body, changed into new clothes, and asked, "What are the sacrificial items of the spiritual arts?"
"The most important thing is the blood mist begonia, and the others are some requioent herbs, snow bamboo grass, Haitian Ganoderma lucidum, and a large number of pearl fairy grass. Moreover, after the sacrifice, the damage to the human body is great, and the soul will be corroded by the relict fish step by step and become murderous. The terminal system said.
Mu Bai tidied up his clothes and said, "It seems that I have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow." ”
The next day, Mu Bai came to a pharmacy in Baiyang City and asked, "Is there a blood mist begonia for sale here?"
When the pharmacy owner heard this, he glanced at Mu Bai and said, "Ouch, this is a rare thing, and ordinary pharmacies like ours don't have it." ”
Mu Bai asked, "Does the boss know where Baiyang City is sold?"
The owner of the pharmacy thought for a while and said, "You can go to the Sunset Chamber of Commerce and ask, this kind of rare thing was only available to the Sunset Chamber of Commerce before, but recently the dock can't leave the port, I don't know if the Sunset Chamber of Commerce is still alive." ”
Mu Bai nodded, said goodbye to the boss, and came to the Sunset Chamber of Commerce again.
After the old shopkeeper saw Mu Bai, he smiled and said, "You are here again, what do you want to hear this time?" ”
Mu Bai shook his head and said, "Does the Sunset Chamber of Commerce still have blood mist begonias for sale?"
When the old man heard this, he opened the account book and said, "Wait, let me check." ”
After a while, the old man raised his head and sighed and said, "No, the last batch of blood mist begonias sank with the ship, and there will be no more blood mist begonias if they can't leave the port after that." ”
Mu Bai asked, "The last batch is on the ship, is there any other place where there are blood mist begonias?"
The old man shook his head and said, "In the entire Baiyang City, only the Sunset Chamber of Commerce will have this kind of spirit grass, and other places that need this kind of spirit grass are also bought from the Sunset Chamber of Commerce. ”
Mu Bai asked, "When was the last batch of Blood Mist Begonias sold?"
The old man opened the account book again and said, "Since the Blood Mist Begonia is a spirit grass, there is not much demand in Baiyang City, and the last batch of Blood Mist Begonias was sold three years ago. ”
Mu Bai asked, "When did the shipwreck carrying the blood mist begonia disappear?"
The old man said: "It was the first batch of ships, and there were many valuable things on that batch of ships, and the shipwreck also caused heavy losses to the Sunset Chamber of Commerce." ”
Mu Bai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is there still a secret book for the spiritual art on those ships?"
The old man replied, "Yes, how do you know?"
Mu Bai asked, "Then do the people on the ship know the list of goods transported?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The transportation list is confidential, especially the spirit grass of the Blood Mist Begonia, which is generally known only to the captain. ”
Mu Bai continued to ask: "Do you know Yang Baoguo, he was your crew before, what grudge does he have with the Sunset Chamber of Commerce?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "I remember him, he was the uncle and the captain of the Sunset Chamber of Commerce. He was also lucky, he happened to be drunk when he went to sea that day, and he survived. But I have the impression that Yang Baoguo doesn't seem to have any grudges with the Sunset Chamber of Commerce. ”
After Mu Bai listened, he said goodbye to the old man and left the Sunset Chamber of Commerce while thinking.
