Chapter 197: The Zhao Family's Sideline

Although this sea area belongs to the Shark Clan, the Shark Race has lived in harmony with humans for generations, and even if the Radiator Sect monks persecuted them here, the Shark King Canghai never thought of taking revenge on the innocent people.

And the demon beasts hidden in the dense fog suddenly appeared in this sea area, and they also attacked humans for no reason, which obviously violated the clan motto of the merman clan. Ji Beichen also understood at this time why Jing Xiaowei chased after him without hesitation.

Ji Beichen thought for a long time, and felt a little difficult in his heart, Jing Xiaowei tracked the sea monkey and didn't know when he would be able to return, at this time, Meng Chong suffered heavy casualties, and he didn't know if the fog would come again, the ship boss must return as soon as possible, in this case, where should he go!

Just when Ji Beichen was in trouble, the boat boss stood behind him for some time, and suddenly clasped his fists at Ji Beichen and saluted: "Zhao Xianhai, the head of the Zhao family, has seen the head of the Zhao family!" ”

Ji Beichen was a little stunned by the bow of the ship's boss Zhao Xianhai, just when he was stunned and didn't step forward to help Zhao Xianhai, the crew on the deck behind Zhao Xianhai suddenly knelt down and bowed, shouting: "Zhao's side to meet the patriarch!" ”

Ji Beichen was speechless by the picture of everyone bowing to him in front of him, he thought about Zhao Xianhai's words just now, and then he understood the reason why everyone bowed to him.

He hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Xianhai and explained, "This ...... Captain Zhao misunderstood, I am related to the Dongcang Zhao family, but now the Zhao family is still the head ......of the Zhao family."

Zhao Xianhai saw that the young patriarch in front of him wanted to deny this matter, so he continued to give a salute and said: "Patriarch, don't postpone, the patriarch of the Zhao family has always inherited the Heaven Covering Jade Lock, and the head of the Zhao Xiang family has already stated in the clan that now the Heaven Covering Jade Lock has been passed to your hands!" ”

Ji Beichen saw that Zhao Xianhai had already said this, and it was difficult to shirk in front of everyone, so he had to say: "The jade lock that covers the sky is indeed in my hands, the head of the Zhao family please hurry up, and the brothers please hurry up!" ”

Zhao Xianhai saw that the young patriarch had recognized the patriarch's matter, and asked everyone to get up, so he saluted the patriarch again and took the lead.

The matter of the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiang had talked to Ji Beichen through Zhao Ling'er's mouth before. Because the direct family of the Zhao family has always had the inheritance of the bloodline of the god of war, and the way to identify it is the plum blossom birthmark on the body, so the status of the direct family in the Zhao family has always been the highest.

And the selection of the patriarch is based on the inheritance of the previous patriarch, and the inheritance is the sky-covering jade lock around Ji Beichen's neck. The previous patriarch was Zhao Xiang, the shopkeeper of the Hanging Ji Pharmacy, and now he has passed the patriarch's token to Ji Beichen, and the heads of all the Zhao family's side families have known about it.

Zhao Xianhai saw that the young patriarch was standing on the deck a little embarrassed, a little at a loss, so he raised his hand forward and made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "The patriarch also asks the cabin to speak!" ”

The Zhao family is a celestial god of war clan, even if the bloodline is no longer pure after intermarriage with the human race after the lower realm, but the blood of the ancestral god of war flows in their bones. Zhao Xianhai is a branch of the Zhao family who is proficient in water warfare, serving in the royal navy in the early years, because he was tired of the fighting in the officialdom, he resigned from the officialdom, returned to his ancestral Dongcang with the Zhao family's cronies, and drove a Meng Chong who retreated from the battlefield to explore the secret of the Canglan Sea.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhao Xianhai stepped forward to ask for guilt: "Please also ask the patriarch to forgive the villain's previous recklessness!" ”

Ji Beichen waved his hand again and again, and explained: "Where is the head of the Zhao family, the position of the patriarch is ashamed, just because the head of the family prefers to pass on the jade lock that covers the sky to me." The head of the Zhao family is still called a good brother with me according to the previous name......"

Ji Beichen just wanted everyone's relationship to be less formal, so he proposed to call each other brothers as before.

But he didn't want to finish his words, and Zhao Xianhai fell to the ground again: "This is absolutely unacceptable, the patriarch is no better than the head of the family, and he dare not overstep!" ”

Ji Beichen didn't quite understand the true meaning of the Zhao family patriarch now, and he couldn't tell the difference between the head of the family and the patriarch, he saw Zhao Xianhai kneeling down towards him again, and hurriedly got up to help him, and he could only compromise: "The head of the Zhao family, please get up, what is going on with this sea stone cave, the head of the family will tell me in detail!" ”

Located on the east coast of the island, Haishi Dongtian was originally a seaside scenery developed by wealthy merchants on the island in order to attract business. There is a sea stone cave in the sea stone cave, and the stone cave has formed a special natural pond with an arch about 10 meters high through natural changes such as wave erosion.

Zhao Xianhai knew that the young patriarch was worried about his missing friend, so he didn't dare to delay and immediately reported the situation of Haishi Dongtian: "The beach of Haishi Dongtian is different from the beaches elsewhere on the island, it is not a beach, the beach is full of stones, and the stones are very large, the kind that can stand on people, and the larger stones can accommodate many people to stand on it.

There are gaps between the big rocks, and some of the gaps between the boulders are relatively large, and when the sea hits the stones, the water will flow into the gaps, forming small pools. And the sea monkeys that hurt people at first came out of one of the waterholes! ”

"Oh?" Ji Beichen was puzzled when he heard this, according to Zhao Xianhai, the origin of this sea monkey is very strange.

Ji Beichen thought in his heart: The pools formed on the normal rocky beach will have some underwater creatures that the waves roll into, but most of them are also small fish and shrimp, even if there are a few fish that grow up in some deeper pools, but they can't grow as fierce beasts as sea monkeys, there is a possibility......

Just when Ji Beichen was about to continue to ask Zhao Xianhai, the voice of the crew came from outside the cabin door: "Patriarch and family master, the dense fog on the sea has completely dispersed, and the sea stone cave has appeared!" ”

When Zhao Xianhai heard this, he turned his head to look at Ji Beichen beside him, and when he saw Ji Beichen nodding at him, he immediately responded: "Set off immediately and go to Haishi Cave Heaven!" ”

With a command, the crew was busy on Meng Chong's deck in an instant, and soon the sails were raised again, and Meng Chong sailed away against the sea breeze.

When Ji Beichen walked out of the cabin, the sea stone cave was close in front of him, and Meng Chong was already preparing to dock. Ji Beichen and Zhao Xianhai went ashore with a small team of crews, and everyone saw the sea stone cave towering on the rocky beach from a distance.

Zhao Xianhai found a crew member who was familiar with this place to lead the way, and the rest of the crew quietly gathered around Ji Beichen, beware of the appearance of sea monkeys, for fear of hurting the patriarch.

Zhao Xianhai obviously didn't have been here for the first time, his eyes kept staring ahead, until the crew leading the way stopped, he withdrew his eyes, and said to Ji Beichen: "Patriarch, the waterhole formed in the gap of the boulder in front is the place where sea monkeys haunt!" ”

When Ji Beichen heard this, he raised his eyes to look at the waterhole, and his feet sped up: "Go over and take a look." ”

Everyone soon arrived at the edge of the waterhole, and Ji Beichen carefully looked at the waterhole. He found that this waterhole was not the largest of the rocky beach, and that many of the boulder crevices formed a larger waterhole than this one.

Ji Beichen took out a piece of fluorite from the storage ring and knocked it on the stone wall a few times, and the fluorite immediately glowed green, shining even in the daytime. Afterwards, Ji Beichen threw the fluorite into the waterhole, and he wanted to explore the depth of the pool.

I saw that the fluorite slowly sank down the water flow of the pool, and the bright green glow gradually became dim, and finally disappeared into the depths of the water.

Zhao Xianhai was obviously shocked by the depth of the waterhole, and said: "I didn't expect this waterhole to be so deep!" ”

When Ji Beichen saw the scene in front of him, he had some confidence in his heart: "As the old saying goes: dragons come out of the deep sea, and fierce beasts come out of the deep pool. If I'm not mistaken, this sea monkey is not a ferocious beast in the waters near the island, and this deep pool is most likely leading to another sea area, and the sea monkeys may have come from there! ”

Zhao Xianhai heard Ji Beichen's words, nodded in agreement: "What the patriarch said is extremely true, I have been to this deep pool with the crew several times, and I have also tried to dive down to explore, but the water in this pool is too deep to reach the bottom. Recently, sea monkeys have been frequently harassing the people of the island, and the owner of the island ordered me to wait for the sea monkeys to come out anyway.

Yesterday, I ordered someone to find poisonous beasts, harmless poisonous powder scattered into this deep pool, and on the way back, a thick fog arose, and in the thick fog was attacked by sea monkeys, and I broke a lot of brothers! ”

When Ji Beichen heard Zhao Xianhai's words, he knew Zhao Xianhai's identity on the island, which was equivalent to a guard in the sea, and was hired by the owner of the island, but he didn't know which rich businessman and magnate the owner of the island was.

Ji Beichen listened to Zhao Xianhai's words, and said in a low voice: "Listening to what the Zhao family master said, it confirmed my previous guess, this sea monkey must be from another sea area or secret realm. My friend has dived into the deep sea to track down the sea monkeys, and he may be found in this deep pool! ”

Speaking of this, Ji Beichen took out the water spirit bead given to him by Canghai from the storage ring. He tilted his head, took the bead in his mouth, and prepared to go into the water to search for Jing Xiaowei's figure.

Zhao Xianhai saw that Ji Beichen had a storage ring only for monks on his hand, as well as a water spirit bead given by the merman clan. He was very surprised in his heart, and made a judgment in his heart about the identity of the boy who fell into the water: "Water Spirit Bead? I guess the patriarch's friend is a merman! ”

"His identity is ......" Just when Ji Beichen was about to reveal Jing Xiaowei's true identity, the originally calm sea level around Haishi Cave Heaven hit a big wave at this time. The waves rushed through the gaps in the boulders on the rocky beach and rushed towards the crowd.

The deep pool was affected by the waves, and the water began to shake, and the sudden surging water wet Ji Beichen's shoes and socks. The moment Ji Beichen's toes touched the pond, a man's voice flashed quickly in his mind: Senior Brother Ji, get into the water quickly, Miss Yan is in trouble!

"It's Nian Xin!" This voice is very familiar to Ji Beichen, it is Yan Nianxin who should be drunk in the restaurant at this moment.

As soon as Ji Beichen heard what Yan Nianxin said, his mind suddenly became confused: "Li'er is in trouble? How is this possible! Shouldn't she sleep in the guest room on the second floor of the wine shop, not to mention that the Cangxu Sword didn't move, but ......"

Just when Ji Beichen's heart was wavering, the big waves hit again, and the pool of water covered his feet again. At this time, a woman's voice appeared in Ji Beichen's head, and the voice was soft and magnetic, magically calling him: "Jump, jump......"

As soon as Ji Beichen heard the woman's voice, his hesitant heart immediately became a ball, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Li'er, is it you!" At the same time, he jumped and flew down the deep pool.
