Chapter Seventy-Seven: Mi Xin (2nd Watch)
Xue Zha had heard the term "Dragon Palace" in the mouths of others more than once, from the first time he heard this term, until now, this term gave him the feeling of being mysterious and powerful.
In Xue Zha's impression, the "Dragon Palace" or something, at most, there is a dragon king, shrimp soldiers and crab generals or something, among the myths and stories he heard since childhood, the "Dragon Palace" is the weakest.
The Monkey King made trouble in the Dragon Palace, obtained the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, Nezha made trouble in the sea, and pulled out the dragon tendons of Ao Bing, the son of the Dragon King.
There are a lot of myths and stories of this kind, and Xue Zha has heard a lot of them before, whether on TV or in books, or even from other people's mouths.
Before, he still thought that the dragon king, the shrimp soldier crab general and the turtle prime minister were all weak, otherwise they wouldn't be bullied by any monster.
Just like the scene of the black chicken country in the famous novel "Journey to the West", there is a dragon king under the well, although he is only the dragon king of the well, but he is also a fairy, but he can't help it when he encounters monsters.
But since Xue Zha came to the sea, what he has heard, seen, and even known, the so-called "Dragon Palace", a servant-level mermaid makes him feel tricky, and he can't beat a small commander, let alone any shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
"Sure enough, myths and stories are all deceptive ......"
Xue Zha could only comfort himself like this, after all, no matter how weak he was, he was also a serious immortal team, and there was still a difference between him and a mortal.
Just like the land lord, no matter how small the official is, he is still a god, and it is not something that ordinary people can blaspheme.
However, this beast hunting activity actually involved the "Dragon Palace", and Xue Zha was very surprised.
Xue Zha also looked around, and at the same time lowered his voice and said to Le Xiang.
"Brother Le, why do you hunt dragons in the beast hunting activity...... Oh, hunt them, they are mysterious, but they are relatively strong, in case ......"
Le Shen understood Xue Zha's words in an instant, and he sat up directly and smiled.
"There's a shit in case......! Sins, sins, sins. ”
Xue Zha was stunned for a moment when he heard Le Xiang directly burst into a foul language.
Le Xiang blushed a rare old face and spoke again.
"I mean, what's in case? Do you think the people of that force have clean hands and feet? They have also done a lot of murderous things behind their backs, and humans and sea beasts are enemies themselves, not to mention, they are all rich!"
You guys...... You've been on the sea all day and you're familiar with the sea, but I'm not, and I need to explore the surrounding waters in order to get more useful information. ”
In fact, Xue Zha didn't say so, but his thoughts were far more than that, since the Holy Courtyard sent him out to hunt sea beasts, his strength alone was too weak.
Even if he had potions to use, and even with the help of Captain Jack and Tang Long'er, it was only in this small area of water.
To put it bluntly, Xue Zha has his own vision and pattern, although the sea is very large and boundless, he has the ability to control the living force on the sea in his hands.
This is something he has thought about before.
On the sea, there are the Holy Courtyard, the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, various pirates and sea beasts, and many forces are mixed, interconnected and mutually restrictive.
But Xue Zha saw an opportunity from it.
Although Tang Long'er also mentioned yesterday that pirates were afraid of encountering the encirclement and suppression of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, they were the organization that lived at sea for the longest time except for sea beasts, and they had their own set of survival rules.
Moreover, even if the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu fought for many years, they needed the sea to obtain resources, wouldn't the ships and soldiers sent by them be elite?
At the same time, pirates must also be hostile to the Holy Academy, although Xue Zha has not seen many people from the Holy Academy, but from Wang Zhi and Zhao Shi, they can see that the people of the Holy Court are also not weak.
Even if what Tang Long'er said yesterday was right, Xue Zha also thought it was very one-sided.
They can't compete with the national army of the Wei, Shu and Wu Kingdoms, and they can't compete with the Holy Court, which doesn't mean that all pirates are like this.
The sea is vast, who can be sure that there are no pirates with the strength of a saint, or pirates who are not afraid of the armies of the Three Kingdoms?
Since the pirate force has always been able to exist at sea, in addition to their mobility and particularity, strength is also one thing.
Xue Zha believes in the principle of the communicator, where several containers with interconnected bottoms are injected with the same liquid, and the liquid level of each container in the communicator is always kept on the same level when the liquid is not flowing, even if several connected containers are of different shapes.
Therefore, compared to the two forces of the Holy Court and the Three Kingdoms, Xue Zha was more inclined to pirates.
Moreover, he was born in the rivers and lakes, and it would not be very difficult to deal with pirates and pirates.
"It seems a little sad that even I, an inland person, did not understand the vastness of the sea, and that they did not understand it as people who lived on the sea. ”
But Xue Zha didn't say this sentence after all, he didn't want Tang Long'er and Captain Jack to be ashamed.
Still, he had a question in mind.
When Xue Zha picked up the chopsticks and threw a piece of pastry into his mouth, chewed it for a while and swallowed it, he spoke.
"By the way, I want to ask you one thing, are there any particularly powerful pirates at sea?"
After Xue Zhe asked this question, Tang Long'er and Captain Jack were stunned again.
Didn't you just talk about you leaving? Why did you suddenly change the subject?
Xue Zha subconsciously touched her face, and at the same time looked at Tang Long'er on the side, and found that she had a cold face and threatened her eyes and stretched out her fist to demonstrate against the pirates.
Xue Zha looked at Tang Long'er, and then at the pirate's eyes looking at him, remembering yesterday's incident, and quickly figured out the joints.
This clearly treats him as a man.
But in general, in addition to the strange eyes, Xue Zha can still feel a kind of respect, after all, he Xue Zha is not an embroidered pillow.
Xue Zha walked to the side of the boat, looked at the blue sea, stretched out his arms to feel the salty sea breeze, and stretched his waist again.
"Hah...... Waking up to see such a vast sea is truly an experience that cannot be imagined in the interior. ”
Xue Zhe moved his body a little, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Tang Long'er walked over with a smile and stood quietly beside him.
"Since you like it, you can stay, Jack is captured by us, and his men will also be annexed, and we can be the overlord of this sea area in the future." ”
Tang Long'er sent an invitation to Xue Zha, although she did not change on the surface, but in her heart she kept shouting for Xue Zha to stay.
Xue Zha smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.
"Although the sea is good, it is not my home after all, it is very vast, but it can't accommodate my existence, I am not a person who can live on the sea, Tang is in charge, I understand your kindness. ”
Xue Zha politely refused Tang Long'er's invitation, he just had the idea of curiosity and emotion about the sea, if he really lived on the sea, maybe something would happen.
Tang Long'er didn't show a disappointed expression, she already had a premonition that Xue Zha would refuse her invitation.
She smiled softly, as if she had thought of something, and spoke.
"By the way, Mr. Xue, it's time for us to go see Captain Jack, he's been waiting for you all along. ”
Tang Long'er suddenly spoke, and did not show even a trace of embarrassment because of Xue Zha's refusal.
So Xue Zha just accepted it after a while, and the two sides suddenly tacitly agreed not to mention this issue again.
When Tang Long'er took Xue Zha back to the cabin again, and at the same time kept walking towards the bottom of the boat, Xue Zha deeply felt the difference between different classes.
