Repulse Bay is marked as an adventure map around level 16-21 on the map, and based on the average level of the three people, it is no problem to do missions here.

But the point is not here, the focus is on the task of the cat-eared woman, which is to catch the glowing fish...... You need to go down into the water.

And Repulse Bay is not an ordinary lake or something, but a branch of the South China Sea in the demon world, which means that the water in it is all seawater, and no one knows how deep it is.

The azure pure sea water really set off waves one after another, Lin Xi looked at the steps behind him, feeling a little excited and happy, but also a little worried and depressed. The former is because she has not seen the sea for a long time, and she has never seen such a sea as pure as a newborn without a trace of pollution. The latter is because the sea is so real that if you want to catch a glowing fish, you have to dive into it...... If the game is too realistic, does it mean that they can drown without diving tools?

The three of them walked along the clean beach, picked up some shells and completed the task of the shell wind chimes, and then it was time to get into the water.

It was also mentioned by Wei Mei that Lin Xi realized that in addition to the glowing fish, other tasks also need to go to the sea. Because there were no monsters on the shore, only the shells they had already picked up.

Qingluan raised his hand to open the task bar, looked at the tasks shared by Wei Mei and Lin Xi, and said thoughtfully: "Glowing fish, turtle shells, lobsters, squid, starfish...... If necessary, please find the old fisherman to avoid the water droplets? What is it? ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi and Wei Mei both walked over, looked at the task panel that Qingluan chose to make public, and found that line of words under her instructions. It's just that because it's too small and it's at the back, I haven't noticed it before.

But...... Who is the old fishing man and where is it?

The three of them looked back almost at the same time, making sure again that they had seen nothing but themselves along the way.

"It seems that it's another useless clue, why don't you go back and take a look first?" Qingluan closed the task panel in frustration and looked at the two of them inquiringly.

Wei Mei was about to nod, when she saw Lin Xi with a thoughtful look and said, "Wait...... On the way here, I really wanted to see something like the roof, did you think the old fishing man was there? ”

"Really?" Wei Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately turned around and walked back: "Let's take a look." ”

The group of three people returned along the same road, Lin Xidong looked around, and then pointed to a rather surprised place: "Look, this is there." ”

The other two looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, they saw a room looming in the grove behind the reeds as tall as a man. The three of them looked around again, and they were stunned to find an extremely hidden path, and the direction of the road led to the house.

"Ding-dong! Discover the fishing village and get five lobsters! ”

As soon as they walked to the vicinity of the house, the three of them all heard such a system prompt, and after subconsciously glancing at each other, they understood that everyone had lobsters.

And if it weren't for this system prompt, they wouldn't think that this is a village at all, after all, there are only a dozen houses in total, which means that there may be less than ten households.

As the name suggests, the fishing village is full of fishermen, and almost every house has fishing nets, dried fish, dried shrimp, dried crabs, etc., and there is a strong smell of seafood as soon as you get closer.

It's lunchtime, and occasionally the smell of fish soup from the smoke of the cooking sauce gets into your nose.

Just when the three of them were standing on the path in the village and didn't know where to go to find the old fisherman, a woman in a simple cloth dress pushed open the door and came out. ”

Buy fish? Lin Xi shook his head with a smile and said, "No, we are here to find the old man fishing, is he here?" ”

The woman immediately lost her face, and reluctantly raised her hand and pointed to the house on the side and said, "He lives there." After finishing speaking, he walked directly to the courtyard to take care of his own work, and did not look at them again.

The three of them didn't care, and when they heard this, they walked towards the courtyard composed of two small tiled houses over there.

Although the woman was not satisfied that they were just asking for directions, she was also kind enough to point the right way. After knocking on the door and entering, the three of them saw the old fisherman with gray hair.

Seeing them coming, the old man didn't raise his eyelids, and directly stretched out his hand and said, "One water-repellent bead is one hundred taels, and three are three hundred taels." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi and Wei Mei were silently digging out money, and only Qingluan crossed his waist and said, "You old man is a pit man, right?" Let's just borrow it once, why is it so expensive as a hundred taels of silver? ”

It seemed that it was the first time he had met someone who was bargaining with him, and the old man reluctantly raised his eyelids and glanced at the three of them, and said, "The price I said is to borrow one hundred taels at a time, are you a thing that can be seen everywhere to avoid water droplets?" Tell you, I only have five in my hands in the entire demon world, and I won't sell you if you buy 10,000 taels! ”

Choked by his words, Qingluan snorted lightly, and then resigned himself to taking out the money, while muttering in a low voice: "After I use it, I will take it for myself, see where you go to find me." ”

The old fisherman's ears were very bright, and when he heard this, he sneered: "After you use it once and then go ashore, this water-avoiding bead will come back automatically, otherwise why do you think I, the old man, have kept these five beads?" There are immortals on it who have cast immortal spells, and if I die, these beads will disappear with me. You can't fight bad ideas if you want to, huh!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help laughing anymore, and when he saw that the old man was dissatisfied, he hurriedly handed over the one hundred taels of silver in his hand: "A water-repellent bead, thank you." ”

"Hmm," the old man took the silver, looked at her, and said, "This girl is still likable...... If you want, give me the money, and I will go and bring you beads. ”

Wei Mei handed it over silently, even if Qingluan was reluctant, he could only hand the silver to the old man fisherman.

After checking the three hundred taels in his hand, the old man turned around and went to the cabinet to pull it out with satisfaction, and then took out three somewhat dim milky white beads and handed them to the three of them, saying: "Before going into the water, you can wear the beads on your body to avoid water, but you can only use it for two hours at a time, and you will still drown after the time, remember!" ”

The three of them took the beads and nodded their heads to show that they understood, after all, their task did not seem to be too difficult, and they should be able to complete the disembarkation in two hours.

And just as the three of them were about to turn around and leave, the old man suddenly said, "Hey, that little girl, you have to wait." ”

Lin Xi, who had just been called like this, looked back in surprise: "Call me?" ”

The old man nodded, and then waved to the other two who also stopped: "You two go out and wait first, I have something to say to this girl alone." ”

“？” Qingluan glanced at the fishing old man strangely, and then pouted and went out first.

Wei Mei didn't say anything, nodded and pushed the door open and went out.

When the door was closed again, the old man smiled and said, "You guys are going down to Repulse Bay, right?" ”

Lin Xi nodded: "Yes." ”

"Hmm...... If you don't mind, can you do me a favor? The old fisherman's tone softened significantly, and he still looked at her with a smile.

Is it a task? If you can do it at Repulse Bay, of course it's no problem.

Thinking like this, Lin Xi continued to nod: "Yes, please speak." ”

Seeing her agree, the old man couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said with some excitement: "That's the case, a few days ago I went out to sea with the people in the village to fish, but I encountered a rare wind and waves, and the person was fine, but I took away the fishing rod that I was used to on weekdays, and without the company of this old guy, I couldn't catch half a fish." ”

"Oh, so you want me to look for your rod at the bottom of the sea?" Lin Xi changed his words and asked, "But Repulse Bay is so big, do you know the specific location?" So I can focus on finding a place instead of wasting time everywhere. ”

The old man nodded and said, "This is nature, although the wind and waves were quite strong that day, I still remember where it was." When you go down to the sea, just go to the bottom of the sea, and about ten miles ahead, you will see a shallow water palace, and my fishing rod should have fallen near the palace. ”

What other palaces are there under the sea? Could it be that there are dragons there?

As if seeing the doubt in her eyes, the old man added: "The shallow water palace is also a monster, and it won't hurt you, just rest assured." ”

"Oh, good." Lin Xi nodded, took the task, and then looked at the task panel, but found that there was no option to share this task...... This fishing old man is really stingy, Qingluan just said a few words to provoke him.

Holding back his laughter, Lin Xi waved at him: "Then I'll go first, hoping to bring the fishing rod back." ”
