"Dead? How could it be? I was fine just now, I must be pretending to be dead!"

The middle-aged man didn't seem to believe this conclusion, he pushed away Shi Dongliang and stepped forward, fiddling with the cub's head, and patting it back and forth a few times, but the little thing didn't react.

Shi Dongliang also went up to check for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It's not pretending to be dead." ”

This is undoubtedly the worst news, and the hopes that have just been raised by all have been dashed again.

A lady in the group of ladies fainted on the spot, which immediately caused a panicked exclamation, but at this time no one cared about them.

Zhang Yu walked up to the crew member, stretched out his hand to take the cub in his arms, he carried his tail to check it, the little thing was not injured on the body, and the specific cause of death could not be seen.

"You must have a way, don't you?"

The middle-aged man rushed to Zhang Yu's side with messy hair and red eyes, "If there is any way, just say it, what do you want? As long as I can take it out, I can give it to you! I can't die, I don't want to die!"

Zhang Yu thought about it for a moment, raised his head to meet everyone's expectant and frightened eyes, and said, "I'll try my best." ”

He carried the cub to the side of the railing, facing the direction of the great monster, and uttered a long, high-pitched voice from his mouth, but with a slight cheerful and mischievous tone.

Not long after, a voice came from the sea, which was heavy and dull compared to his, as if it had been transmitted from the depths of the sea.

Everyone's eyes widened, and it looked like he was talking to the monster.

And just as he had uttered that sound, the huge figure that swam around the ship suddenly sank, and when it reappeared, it had swam far away, where it lingered from time to time.

Shi Dongliang was surprised and delighted, "Zhang Shaolang, can you communicate with this monster?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I just imitated the voice of the newt cub to make this newt think that the cub is still safe on the ship, so that it will not attack the Daifuku for the time being." ”

He looked at Shi Dongliang and said, "Shi Chuantou, this place should not be far from the capital, I will do my best to appease this monster, if I can delay until the Daifuku enters Dangang, it will be safe." ”

Shi Dongliang lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Zhang Shaolang, are you ten percent sure?"

Zhang Yudao: "I can only do my best. ”

Shi Dongliang fell silent. After a while, he raised his head to look at Zhang Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Shaolang, if you have the ability to attract this giant newt, we may be able to use another method......

He looked apologetic, "I can give you a boat, or place you on a nearby island, so that the Daifuku can go to the capital safely, and when we get there, we will try to find someone to come back to rescue you." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, this is a good idea, it's better to ...... That's all?"

The captain of the guard opened his mouth, looked at Zhang Yu, and then at Shi Dongliang, but couldn't say anything.

Shi Dongliang solemnly shook at Zhang Yu and said, "I'm sorry, I know it's a bit impersonal to do this, but as the captain of the Daifuku, I must be responsible for the passengers of the whole ship, if I can do this myself, I will not hesitate to stand up, but now." I can only ask Zhang Shaolang to you, don't worry, when you arrive in the capital, I will never abandon you. ”

He pointed to the captain of the guard and said, "I will let my son stay with you." ”

Zhang Yu could see that Shi Dongliang made such a choice in order to prevent him from having an accident if he missed, or if he didn't stick to the ship entering the port.

As a captain, there was nothing wrong with this consideration, but in this way, the crisis was transferred to him personally.

Of course, Shi Dongliang let his son follow him, that is, he expressed his willingness to bear the crisis with him, even if it was the worst outcome.

In this short moment, he thought about it a lot.

When his eyes swept to the newt again, he made a bold decision in his heart.

He said: "No need, if it were me, the newt would have recognized me as a prey or toy captured by the cubs, and if there was another person, it would have exceeded the cubs' hunting ability, and it would increase the risk of exposure, but the stone bow, I hope you can give me back my things." He paused, "Including that 'forbidden object.'" ”

"No problem. ”

Shi Dongliang agreed without hesitation, he gave an order, and immediately a crew member went down to get something.

Perhaps to make up for the guilt in his heart, he solemnly promised: "Zhang Shaolang, I promise you that your trading of forbidden items will not be recorded on your road sticker. ”

Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Then thank you." ”

It didn't take long for the crew to bring over all the salutes and items that Zhang Yu had brought on the ship before.

Zhang Yu checked it, everything was there, there was no loss or damage, he first took out a sheathed Xia Sword from his bag, pulled it out and looked at it, returned it to the sheath, and held it in his hand.

Then, he looked at a palm-sized woodcarved statue of the god.

The idol has a crest of bird feathers, thick lips and a big nose, which occupies half of the entire statue, and looks very ugly and weird.

That's the "forbidden thing".

He bought it from a passenger when he boarded the ship.

Unexpectedly, this guy is actually a believer in an indigenous god, and the statue is exactly the image of that god. Before the things arrived, the ship's escort broke in, and he was taken into custody.

As he stood here, he felt a faint stream of heat coming from above.

Maybe it's because he's not breathing now, so he doesn't feel as strong as he used to be in the detention cell.

While he was checking his belongings, the Daifuku, with Shi Dongliang himself at the helm, headed a little southerly.

In less than half a summer, a group of pitch-black reefs appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The captain of the escort came over and said, "Zhang Shaolang, there are reefs all over the front, and the Daifuku can't get any closer, so you can only get off the ship here." ”

Zhang Yu observed the surroundings and said, "Okay." He put on his hat, covered his face, and said, "I can hold out until tomorrow morning." This is the most optimistic estimate, and I hope you will arrive in time. ”

The captain of the guard clenched his fists and said solemnly: "We will do our best." ”

He hesitated slightly, and said, "Zhang Shaolang, I know that it may be a little unkind to say this, just in case...... Do you have anything you want me to bring to anyone?"

Zhang Yu glanced at the reef in the distance, thought for a moment, and then said, "I will leave something on this island and reef, I hope I won't need it then." ”

The captain of the guard looked serious, "I wrote it down. ”

Under the arrangement of the Daifuku's first mate, Zhang Yu boarded a sampan lowered by the Daifuku, took the newt cub and all his belongings, shook the oars, and leaned towards the reef group under the gaze of everyone.

It wasn't far from the reef, and it didn't take long for him to make it ashore.

After standing on a reef, he held the newt cub in the direction of the sea, and made another sound similar to that of Fang Cai, and the newt was immediately attracted to it, and began to circle around the reef.

The people on the Daifuku were overjoyed to see that the newt had indeed been attracted to it, and they did not dare to stay longer, but hurriedly left this sea area with full sails and continued to go east.

Zhang Yu watched the figure of the Daifuku gradually disappear on the sea level, he was actually not worried about not coming back, because the trade in the Tenghai Sea was very important, and the Metropolitan Protectorate would not allow such a big threat to exist at sea, and after receiving the report, he would definitely rush to exterminate this monster.

The only thing to worry about is that he can only delay until tomorrow morning at best.

And it is difficult to say how much time will be delayed between the time the Metropolitan Protectorate learns the news and sends out personnel, so he can't put all his hopes here.

He stared at the huge back of the sea and gripped the hilt of his sword, "If I can't wait for rescue, then I'll solve it in my own way." ”

He had personally seen his teacher stab the newt to death with a sword, and in the process, he did not use any power that belonged to the cultivator, but only used the ability that the person himself possessed to the extreme.

So he may not be able to reproduce the process.

It's just that his teacher is a cultivator, and even if this approach is unsuccessful, he can kill this monster by other methods.

But even if he cultivates for a few years, he is still just a mortal in essence, and he has no chance of starting over after failure.

So, he needs the help of one more thing to increase his chances of winning.

He called out in his heart, and within three feet of him, a curtain of light that only he could see appeared, and there were several shapes shaped like seals and seals.

These seals are not neat and square, but are mostly special-shaped seals, showing the image of inscribed white text, and there are some tooth marks in the edges of the strokes.

Each seal here corresponds to the skills he has mastered in the process of cultivation.

And the one that carries all this is called the "Chapter of the Great Road".

Cultivators of the new Fa, that is, "metaphysical cultivation", rely on reading this object to practice, thus distinguishing themselves from the cultivators of the old days.

At this time, he felt in his heart, and found a ball of light in his body.

This is the "divine element", which can be regarded as the aggregation of a person's spirit and spirit, and it is also accumulated through a certain way.

If the "Shenyuan" is a pond of water, then the human body is a big pool.

Now he only needs to fill in the Divine Yuan into one of the seals, then he can improve the corresponding ability skills.

He first looked at the seal with the word "Sword Pilot" written on it.

To kill a formidable opponent, force seems to be the first option.

It's just that he thought about it for a while, the new method he has been taught is not complete, and sword skill is something that needs to rely on both strength and speed, as well as skill and experience, which is the overall improvement of physical fitness and spirit.

Even if you enter the Divine Yuan now, at most, you can only increase your ability to adapt to and use the sword, and the overall improvement is very limited.

Given the huge gap between him and the newt, this is almost negligible.

So his gaze quickly swept over it, looking at another seal.

......
