Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Beast of the Sea
There are many islands scattered on the sea in the east of Daqing, some of these islands are uninhabited, some contain countless minerals, and some are inhabited by countless residents because of their large area. Maritime trade did not know when it arose, and although countless people were swallowed up by the waves of the sea every year, there were still a large number of merchants along the routes in search of wealth.
On this day, the sea was calm and the sun hung high in the sky. In winter, there is less wind on the sea, and many merchants choose to travel at this time.
The Liaoyuan Chamber of Commerce is a medium chamber of commerce in Daqing, mainly responsible for the grain trade between Daqing and the islands on the sea. On the docks on the east coast, a dozen large sailing ships laden with grain sailed out of there and headed out into the blank sea.
"Father, there has been a war on Changming Island recently, and several groups of businessmen have been attacked by the rebel army and suffered heavy losses. On the side of the ship, a woman in yellow was trying to persuade her father.
"Xin'er, don't talk about this kind of nonsense in the future, our Liaoyuan Chamber of Commerce has not seen much improvement in its development over the years, if we can make a windfall by relying on the war on Changming Island this time, we will be able to go further. You joined the Sky Sword Sect, just when you need money to take care of it, and my father is also thinking about you. "The proprietor of the Liaoyuan Chamber of Commerce is a chubby middle-aged man with a small leather hat and a round figure, which looks a little ridiculous.
The woman in yellow was a little moved, her mouth opened, but she still didn't say anything. In the end, the woman could only tighten the big sword behind her, and if she was really in danger, she would use this sword to desperately guard her family.
"Xin'er, you don't have to worry too much, this time a martial arts master just needs to go to Changming Island, I will let him take a tailwind boat, if there is danger, this master will definitely protect one or two. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, revealing the merchant's characteristic mercenary smile, and his words gave the woman in yellow some confidence.
"If that's the case, then it's a lot more reassuring. The woman in yellow showed a smile on her face and breathed a sigh of relief. A martial arts master, even among the ten thousand armies, can calmly advance and retreat, and has reached a relatively high-end level of martial arts, and with his blessing, there are indeed many fewer problems.
"Where's the master? The woman in yellow asked his father. "The master has a withdrawn temperament and is busy cultivating, so let's not disturb at will, and when we get to Changming Island, let's go and see you again." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said. Hearing her father say this, the woman in yellow could only dispel this idea.
Sailing at sea is boring, and sailors are accustomed to such days by begging for a living at sea all year round. It's just that the woman in yellow is still going to sea for the first time, and after the initial novelty, she begins to feel very difficult.
The woman in yellow sat on the edge of the boat, the waves wetting her skirt, but she didn't care in the slightest, still holding her chin, looking at the sea in the distance.
"Boom. The hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the body of the woman in yellow was almost shaken out. Fortunately, she had practiced martial arts, grabbed the side of the ship, jumped lightly, and landed on the deck.
"What's going on?" said the middle-aged man, rushing out of the cabin, shouting at the sailors. "Host, there is no wind, it seems that our ship has been hit by something. "A sailor hurried over to report that there were no waves on the whole sea, and it was definitely not windy.
"What's going onγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, the whole ship shook again, interrupting his voice.
"Boss, look. A sailor pointed to the surface of the water in horror, and everyone followed his fingers, and a large black shadow appeared under the water, and with the movement of the black shadow, the sea water seemed to be boiling.
"Beast of the sea!Why is there a beast in this channel, take the helm, quickly change course. The middle-aged man's face overflowed with sweat and he commanded loudly. For these merchants, the most terrifying thing is not the wind and waves, but those ferocious beasts of the sea.
Because they live in the sea, most of these beasts are sturdy, bloodthirsty and aggressive, and once a merchant ship encounters it, there is almost no reason to survive. The woman in yellow was also frightened and pale, she was just a martial artist in the inner rest realm, and she could be called a small master on land, but in this vast sea, she also had no regulations.
"We also have a martial arts master in charge, go and invite the master over, our chance to survive is here. The middle-aged man suddenly remembered something and asked a sailor to hurry to inform the martial arts master.
"No need, the old man is here. Everyone only felt that a flower appeared in front of them, and an old man dressed in gray appeared in front of them. "Master Fan. Everyone saluted him, and the old man waved his hand and walked to the edge of the deck.
"Wow. The waves on the surface of the water rolled over, and the whole wooden boat shook again. "Poof. The surface of the water exploded, and a black, ten-foot-long whale surfaced. This whale has extremely long whiskers, a pair of red eyes, and the blood all over its body is extremely thick, and before it can get close, it is oppressed by its majesty to the point that it cannot breathe.
"Akame Dragon Whale. Master Fan exclaimed, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes. "What's the matter, master, is this whale difficult to deal with?" the woman in yellow asked as she walked up to the old man's side and was a little alarmed.
"The red eye dragon whale is a sea alien species, born a fierce beast, infinitely powerful, and likes to make waves the most. Looking at its size, it is at least a 300-year-old dragon whale, and it is really difficult for us to get out safely. Master Fan stared at the dragon whale and said solemnly. After hearing this, the woman in yellow shook her body slightly, and her face was a little pale.
"I had no choice but to fight to the death. Gather all the martial artists above the skin membrane realm on the ship, and life and death will depend on the will of heaven. Master Fan's face showed a trace of determination, although he was a martial arts master, but he couldn't fly, even if he wanted to escape on this vast sea, he could only fight to the death.
The middle-aged man nodded heavily, and then asked the warrior to set up the bow and arrows, and on the top of the bow and arrows, it was also coated with poison and oil. In order to deal with some unexpected situations, some weapons were hoarded on the ship, and at this time, everyone didn't care about calculating the cost.
"Boom. The whole ship shook for a moment, and the tail of the red eye dragon whale suddenly slapped against the sea, and its whole body slammed into the merchant ship. The body of the Akame Dragon Whale was so sturdy that even if the wooden ship was made of fine wood, it was immediately knocked out of a large hole.
The water rushed to the side of the ship, and the hull of the ship continued to sink downward. Master Fan didn't delay any longer, and with a pull from his waist, a long knife that shimmered with cold light was pulled out.
He leaped from the ship, all his breath poured into the long knife, and slashed down. The body of the red eye dragon whale is huge, and this knife, it has nowhere to hide. "Snort. Master Fan's knife slashed at the dragon whale's body, but it did not break the dragon whale's body as expected, but was relieved of most of the force by a layer of slippery grease on the dragon whale's body, and the remaining strength was no longer enough to hurt it.
"Times. The dragon whale swung its body, tilted its head, and squirted a jet of water towards Master Fan. This sea water has been compressed by the mouth of the dragon whale, and it is almost extreme. Master Fan turned around and dodged the water jet. But unexpectedly, the dragon whale spewed out another jet of water, which happened to shoot on Master Fan's inevitable path.
"Bang. "Master Fan was sprayed strictly, how strong the dragon whale is, Master Fan only felt that his throat was sweet, and he was almost about to spurt blood. Master Fan's toes were a little on the surface of the water and landed behind the dragon whale to prevent him from being sprayed by the water column again. "Whew. Before he could stand still, the dragon whale fanned over with its tail, and Master Fan's body was unstable, and he sank into the water.
"Come on, shoot arrows quickly!" Seeing that Master Fan had suffered a loss, the middle-aged man hurriedly asked people to release arrows. The sailors did not dare to slack off, and countless arrows beckoned to the dragon whale's body, some of the arrows were on fire, and some were quenched, and it looked quite powerful.
The tail of the dragon whale slapped the surface of the water, and the waves more than ten feet high rolled up, and these arrows were directly blocked by the sea water.
"It's over. The middle-aged man looked depressed, and he almost sat on the ground. All his hole cards have been exhausted, and even Master Fan is not the opponent of this fierce beast, so he and others will wait for death directly. He suddenly began to regret that he should have listened to his daughter and given up this business.
"Click. The dragon whale crashed into the wooden boat again, and half of the wooden boat collapsed, and several sailors fell directly into the sea. "Xin'er, I hurt you this time, my father shouldn't be greedy for this money, and now everything is gone. The middle-aged man looked at his pale daughter and felt very uncomfortable.
But the woman in yellow did not answer the middle-aged man, but her eyes widened, looking at the sea level in the distance. "It's over, it's over, even Xin'er is scared silly, it's all my fault. The middle-aged man slapped himself in the face, feeling very distressed about his daughter.
"Father, look!" the woman in yellow said with one hand directly into the distance. The middle-aged man took advantage of the situation and looked over, and on the dark blue sea, he could vaguely see a young man, with the waves under his feet and a golden eagle hovering in the sky. Although the movement was unhurried, the speed was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was not far from the caravan.
