When he went out to perform a task, in addition to the necessary things such as Lingmi, Bigu Dan, and talismans, Zhao Lin also bought a bag of sponge sand, a water-resisting robe, and a silver dagger.

Sponge sand is not sand, but a mollusk called a sponge worm, the small one is the size of a fist, and the large one is shaped like a watermelon.

The body of the sponge worm is covered with pore size and long hair, and after death, the body shrinks to one-thousandth of its original size, and after drying, it becomes a small stone.

If it encounters water again, it will expand back to its original size, and it is extremely absorbent.

Hence the name Sponge Sand.

Mussel shellfish monsters have extremely strong defense capabilities, and pouring sponge sand into the open mussel shells is enough to make the mussel demon instantly dehydrate and lose its ability to move.

Moreover, spongeworms are poisonous themselves, so the monk can calmly remove the pearls from the shell.

The function of the water protection robe is to defend against water spells.

Underwater fighting method, wearing inner armor is inconvenient, and ordinary inner armor can't resist the attack of water spells.

The water-resisting robe is woven from the silk of the water-free silkworm, which is light and breathable, and has a strong resistance to water spells.

The only drawback is that it is expensive, and for his own safety, Zhao Lin reluctantly spent five thousand spirit coins to buy a water robe.

The Silver Dagger is a dagger made of pure gold and Tibetan silver, which is extremely sharp, and is specially used to pry open closed mussel shells.

Everything was ready to stop, and Zhao Lin left Hanchi County one day in late November.

Nanheju faces the sea to the east, and the easternmost part of Dongfu County is only more than 1,500 li away from Chiwei Island.

Zhao Lin traveled by flying boat, and after several rounds, he came to Dongfu County before dark.

Stayed for one night and got on a "fishing boat" bound for Akao Island the next day.

Most of the sea trips are mainly sea boats, and flying boats are rarely used.

First, because of the extreme wind and waves at sea, the turbulence in the clouds is also extremely fast, and the flying boat ride is very bumpy, and there is even a danger of subversion.

The second is that the sea ship itself is equipped with a water-resisting array, and the speed is not much slower than that of the flying boat, and it is more economical in spirit stones, and the load is also larger.

In fact, many spirit boats are arranged at the same time to resist the wind and the water, which can not only fly in the air, but also sail on the water when encountering wide rivers, lakes and seas.

Fishing boats ride the wind and waves on the sea, and from time to time you can see spirit fish jumping out of the water.

But seeing the sea and sky, the blue waves are vast.

Zhao Lin sat on the side of the boat, and seven or eight "fishermen" on the deck were busy.

The fishermen are borrowed from the name of the mortal world, and these people are actually monks, who regularly go to sea to carry out their tasks.

The cultivation resources in the sea are abundant, in addition to various demon beasts, there are also minerals such as Yellow Essence, Heavenly Star Sand, Dark Star Sand, Everbright Stone, and Black Crystal.

As well as blue heart algae, red beard band, moonfall skirt and other precious spiritual grasses.

Fishermen do not rely entirely on their own spells to catch monsters, and often attack with the help of magic circles, and stun and kill monsters with powerful spells.

Zhao Lin noticed that there were four magic circles arranged on each side of the hull, and it could be seen from the formation patterns that the level of the magic circle was not low.

Although nominally a fishing boat, its combat power is quite good.

In addition to fishing for monsters, the purpose of this fishing boat's trip is to deliver supplies to the monks on Akawei Island.

"Little friend, it's your first time riding the spirit boat, right?"

The monk who led the ship walked out of the cabin, saw Zhao Lin sitting on the bow of the boat and watched, and walked over with a smile and asked.

"The spirit boat flying in the sky has been seated several times, but it is the first time that the one on the sea has been seated."

Zhao Lin also replied with a smile.

The monk who led the ship was a man in his thirties, surnamed Yu, his real name is unknown, and the people on the ship called him Yu Laosan.

Dark-skinned, bearded, and dressed very roughly, not as dignified as the monks elsewhere, he seemed to think of himself as a fishing boat boss.

"Are you lacking in good deeds? How did you come up with the idea of going on a mission to Akao Island? ”

Yu Laosan sat down beside Zhao Lin and asked casually.

"It's a lack of good deeds."

Zhao Lin grinned, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have ventured here." ”

"Courage!"

Yu Laosan stretched out his thumb and said, and then said with emotion: "Cultivation is like this, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, ......"

Zhao Lin's heart moved, and he continued: "It's fun!" ”

"Haha......"

Yu Laosan was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhao Lin, and then stroked his palm and laughed: "Well said, well said!" ”

In a few words, the relationship between the two has become a lot closer.

Yu Laosan stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said, "The weather is good today, there is no wind and waves, and in half an hour, we will be able to reach Chiwei Island." ”

Zhao Lin stared at it, and saw that there seemed to be an island where the sea and the sky met in the clouds, and a question suddenly came to mind in his heart.

"Senior, you have been fishing and hunting at sea all year round, have you ever met anyone from the Earth Dark Sect?"

"The sea ghosts?"

Yu Laosan pursed his lips, "Why haven't you met?" I've dealt with it more than once! ”

The Sea Ghost is a contemptuous name for the monks of the Earth Dark Sect.

In the early years, because of the harsh environment and low cultivation of the Didark Sect, most of the monks did not cover their bodies, so the monks who often went to sea gave them this indecent name.

Although the Earth Dark Sect has now grown and grown, and its wealth level even exceeds that of the Chenghua Sect, because the relationship between the two sects is not harmonious, this title has been used.

"Sometimes we go to sea and go farther, enter the so-called waters of theirs, and it is common for us to be caught and detained by them for a few days, and even imprisoned for dozens of days."

Yu Laosan said sullenly.

"And then?"

Zhao Lin continued to ask.

"Naturally, our sect sent people to negotiate, and they put us back."

"That's it?"

"What else?"

Yu Laosan spat at the sea angrily, "Actually, it's much better now than before, and all of our people were tortured to death by them a few years ago." ”

Saying that, he sighed, "When the sect is strong, we can fish and hunt freely in our own waters!" ”

Zhao Lin was silent, thinking of something in his heart, he couldn't tell it, and only after a while did he say: "There will be that day!" ”

……

As Yu Laosan said, in less than half an hour, the fishing boat sailed to Chiwei Island.

Chiwei Island is not big, only a dozen miles long, less than five miles wide, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, the east is steep and undulating, and the west is flat and gentle.

The surrounding area of Chiwei Island is rich in spiritual energy, and there is a second-order spiritual vein underground.

The island is rich in precious spiritual grasses such as alpine spiritual tea, hemostatic palmetto, and sea hibiscus, and also inhabits a large number of seabirds.

Resources are only one thing, but more important is its strategic position.

There are no other islands in a radius of thousands of miles around Chiwei Island, and whether you go out or enter, it is a very critical supply point, which is equivalent to a bridgehead.

Now this place is occupied by the Earth Dark Sect, like a nail, blocking the exit of the Chenghua Sect to develop outward, which is very uncomfortable.

In fact, Chiwei Island was haunted by monks of the Chenghua Sect more than 10,000 years ago, but at that time, the sect did not know enough about the sea area and never officially occupied it, and only a small number of mortals lived here.
