The negotiation was fruitless, and the direction in which Akang and his party were traveling was on the road, and they walked slowly. It seems that Captain Akon has been thinking about his next step.

"Are you going back like that?" Aaron asked.

"Why don't we take a detour?" Lingji asked.

"I've thought about it all." The captain replied: "Not to mention the difficulty of the detour, there are many dangers, mainly the fastest detour route may take more than ten days." ”

"So far!" Kiki sighed.

"Does Ku Tianxing really not give a little room for negotiation?" Aaron asked.

"Actually, there is room for it, but it's just ......" the captain didn't continue.

"What exactly is the leeway?" Kiki asked anxiously.

"She said that as long as she can defeat her without the ability to evolve twice, she will let her go." Ah Kang frowned: "But we are not her opponents." ”

"There are such a stakes?" Lingji was skeptical.

"She's a martial arts idiot, she likes to find opponents to practice martial arts and compete in martial arts, and then improve her moves from defeat. Kiki's master, Hua Qiuzi, is all defeated by her subordinates. ”

"Wow! I can't see that she can fight so well! Aaron said in surprise: "When I was in the Imperial City, I learned Coach Hua's stick skills, but I didn't expect her to be better than Coach Hua." ”

"It's not, I heard that Ku Tianxing also studied very hard back then. Once, by chance, she met a dangerous swordsman and fought for some reason. The captain showed a very respectful expression on his face: "That swordsman seems to be named Chiru, who can hold a knife with the two fins on his waist, and swing four sharp knives with both hands at the same time. The offensive is ruthless and fierce. Although Ku Tianxing was defeated, he gained a lot of experience and improved his sword skills and swordsmanship. As a result, its reputation spread far and wide, and those who came to the door to learn were defeated one after another, and there were few opponents. ”

"In this case, we must not be opponents." Aaron sighed.

On the way back, the four of them were silent, could it be providence? Captain Akon forced his composure in front of the children, why didn't he want to recover the lost Holy Crown for the Imperial City, and then capture the sinister and cunning Arcantro to clear all doubts. Even if you want to rush into the battlefield where the two armies are torn apart, you can't shirk it.

"I said everyone cheer up, don't you just find another way to move forward? Everyone has confidence in me......" The captain spoke to cheer everyone on, and before he finished speaking, he found that the other three were all looking in the same direction.

Not far away, on the seabed, a large wooden shipwreck appeared. Lying reclining on the bottom of the sea, there was a huge hole in the stern, and the broken planks of the ship were cracked like a large open mouth. There is also a familiar scene------ a school of yellowtails coming in and out of the ship, cleaning up the sand and marine plants that have accumulated for a long time.

The presence of yellowtail here reminds them of Blank, the pet owner of yellowtail. The little old man who spends his days scavenging, an old mermaid who summons his pets by roaring.

"By the way, let's also go and see what valuable things are in that boat, and use them as road money to bribe those people to pass the checkpoint just now, okay?" Aaron suggested.

Without waiting for Captain Akang to answer, Lingji swam straight towards the shipwreck with a swing of her tail. As they approached, the yellowtails suddenly parted and gave way, and a figure with a long club-like weapon burst out of the large hole in the shipwreck:

"Who are you? I'm not to be messed with! ”

Everyone looked at each other closely, and then smiled, and sure enough, it was Blank. I hadn't seen each other for a while, and I noticed that Blank's face was much better than before. Ah Kang felt that he must have made a fortune recently.

"Oh, dear friend, what wind has brought you here, so that we can meet again." Blank put down the long gray stick with a spiral pattern in his hand: "It's been good lately, haven't you?" ”

"To be honest, I don't think we're all living without you, after all, we're at war now. You've got a lot of loot in your business, right? The captain said.

"Well, you're making fun of me, aren't you? I felt movement before you arrived, and I didn't know who it was, so I shrank my head like a turtle and hid just in case, is it a good day? Blank smiled wryly: "The more war comes, the more difficult it is to find a pure land where you can live safely. Even if you really find a lot of valuable things, you may die and spend them. ”

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation," Kiki was curious about the weapon in Blank's hand, "Grandpa, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

"Want to see it? Here you go. Blank graciously handed over the long stick, and in Kiki's hand, Lingji and Aaron also came over to look at it. The stick was like a bone when picked up, thick at one end and tapering from the other, with a slender spiral pattern that circled around the stick, about two meters long and grayish-white.

"Guess what this is?" Captain Akang knew the origin of this artifact and wanted to test a few children.

"Well, I'll tell you." Blank doesn't like to sell the lawsuit directly: "First of all, the wreck behind me is a whaling ship, and this item is the trophy left on this ship. It's actually the horn of a hornhorn whale. Hornhorn whales are not abundant and often live in extremely cold polar oceans. Because of their small numbers, their horns are very valuable, and they naturally become the object of greed and competition for terrestrial humans. ”

"It's pitiful that they've grown so big, and yet they're being hunted down by tiny terrestrials. What's wrong with the world? The more intelligent the species, the smaller the size, the greater the ambition. Kiki sighed.

"By the way, is your fate pet Adin okay?" Captain Akang wants to change the topic and not let everyone be sad. But I didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

"Don't mention it......" Blank choked up a little and almost cried, "It's been dead for a long time!" ”

Captain Akang blushed and regretted that he shouldn't have mentioned the old man's pet.

"It scared me to death." Blank said, "It choked on something again, and it choked very badly. I didn't know when I was choking very nervously, I let go of my throat and used the lion's roar to summon the yellowtail, and the sound scared the nervous Adin to death! Wow ......"

Everyone present was stunned and overwhelmed. Kiki remembered the Che Gugu she had met before and didn't dare to speak. But Aaron opened his mouth: "Don't be sad, aren't there still so many yellowtails?" ”

"There are so many, but they are all far away from me after Adin's death, afraid of my loud voice. It's not good to be alienated by your own pets! ”

"Oh, from a fish's point of view, there are many fish that are afraid of strong sounds. Living in water, water is also a good medium for sound transmission. The captain muttered, "When it rains on the sea, the sound of the raindrops hitting the surface of the water and the fish under the water is as loud as listening to thunder on land, and it can also produce ultrasonic waves, so the fish will feel that the sound is terrible." ”

"That's why I've used my Lion's Roar summoning method less often. I tried to use instruments like the harp to make sounds and train to summon them. ”

"Oh, so you know how to play the piano? Can you play it for us? Lingji was curious about the old man's piano skills.

"Don't do that, we have to hurry." Kiki squeezed Lingji and said softly.

"Want to hear it? Okay, I'll play one. Blank graciously agreed, and pulled a comb carved from his bag.

Ah Kang's eyes widened at this "qin" and they couldn't close their jaws.

"This ...... Is this a piano? Aaron couldn't help but ask weakly. Kiki and Lingji, who were present, had a different feeling, because the two of them knew the origin of this bone comb.

"Of course!" Blank used his hand to flick the tiny teeth on the comb from one end of the comb to the other end. A string of sounds popped up when the plucked teeth returned to their positions, and it was indeed a pleasant feeling, which made Blank proud for half a second.

Kiki, who was already out of control, rushed forward and snatched the comb into her arms, shocking everyone present. Lingji also shouted at the old man with angry eyes:

"Why is this comb in your hand? Did you know that the owner of this comb is Kiki's mother, Kenken's godmother? ”

"What!" The captain was also surprised: "It's really confirmed that it's Kenken's godmother, could it be another comb that is exactly the same?" ”

"You can't be wrong, the scratches on this comb are all tooth marks I left when I was a child." Kiki's uneasy mood welled up in her heart.

"I can testify." Lingji added, "I accidentally broke those broken teeth on the top!"

Kiki looked at the old man and asked, "Please tell me why this comb is in your hand?" ”

Blank was surprised, but he also knew that this "piano" might no longer belong to him......
