Chapter Seventy-Five: Beast Hunting (2nd Watch)
Horn and Le Shen saw Xue Zhe holding the teacup and looking up and drinking it cleanly, and the two of them didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing that Xue Zha still had the urge to pour another glass, Horn hurriedly stopped him.
"Okay, Brother Xue, we know what you mean, let's sit down first, I haven't finished my sentence yet. ”
Xue Zha heard that Horn still had something to say, looked at his current self again, coughed embarrassedly, put down the teapot, and sat down.
Horn saw Xue Zha sitting up straight, and spoke again.
"Brother Xue, I just said that I wanted to make a deal with you and let you make a request, but there is actually a reason for this. ”
Horn was afraid that Xue Zhe would do something out of the ordinary again, so he said a few words first, wanting to see his reaction.
Seeing that Xue Zhe didn't have any other reactions, Horn continued.
"Well, in three days, the island will hold an annual beast hunting event, which will be attended by the forces of the surrounding seas, as well as the people of the outer islands. ”
Hearing this, Xue Zha suddenly interrupted Horn's words.
"Brother Huo, what does this beast hunting activity you mentioned have to do with my potion?"
After Xue Zha asked this sentence, he paused for a moment, and then suddenly thought of a possibility.
"You won't be ......"
Horn nodded, then sighed and spoke again, his face a little more discolored.
"You guessed right, since there are giant beast hunting activities on this island, you need to find a place where a large number of sea beasts gather, and I, I've been looking for months, but I haven't found it. ”
Horn didn't let Xue Zha speak, and said it directly.
But the expression on Xue Zha's face was a little strange, he just kept nodding.
In fact, he wasn't what Horn said just now, what he thought was that Horn was planning to let him collect sea beasts, because Horn's conditions were too tempting.
Although Xue Zha's elixir attracted the arrival of a large number of sea beasts, it only played an attraction.
The potion has a short duration and spreads relatively quickly in the water, so it can attract only a limited number of sea beasts.
But at this time, more and more sea beasts are still appearing.
Because of the effect of the potion, many of the sea beasts attracted by them went berserk, and they became extremely aggressive, so in the fight against each other, a large amount of sea beast blood flowed out and fell into the sea at the same time.
At the same time, Captain Jack ordered his men to disperse, and those who had just left the island and were torn apart by the sea beasts also flowed their blood into the sea.
For sea beasts, the blood of their companions allows them to absorb some energy for promotion, but human blood is even more precious.
The energy of human beings is more pure and natural, which is simply a great tonic for sea beasts.
Therefore, after mixing the blood of sea beasts and humans, the paradise of sea beasts and the forbidden land of humans have been formed around the island.
This is something that Xue Zha didn't expect, but since it is already the case, it is not something he can stop.
Time passed, and the sea beasts continued to fight, and they were getting closer and closer to the island.
Xue Zhe held up the binoculars and saw that Captain Jack on the island was still reprimanding his subordinates, and seemed to be a little confused about what that guy wanted to do.
"According to normal logic, he should have found a way to leave quickly, why hasn't there been any reaction for so long?
Xue Zhe suddenly thought of a possibility in his mind, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
If Captain Jack stays on the island, it is undoubtedly the safest for the many sea beasts that cannot land on the island.
But this result is unacceptable to Xue Zha.
His series of plans are all aimed at putting pressure on Captain Jack to make the choice to leave the island quickly.
Therefore, based on this criterion, Xue Zha used the sea beast, the terrain and the environment to force Captain Jack to analyze.
Xue Zha didn't interfere too much, all he did was to guide.
It's hard to convince someone, but you can always mislead her and make the other party make wrong judgments through time after time.
But Xue had no other choice, he had to do it, and if he didn't, Captain Jack couldn't be caught.
On the other side, Captain Jack was almost killed the moment he saw so many of his men rushing out of the island.
"At the moment, it seems that the island is surrounded by death zones, surrounded by many sea beasts. ”
Xue Zhe was worried that this Captain Jack would suddenly admit that he would not dare to leave the island, so that his plan could not be implemented.
Although the situation on the island is not optimistic, he still wants to capture Captain Jack with his own hands.
So he kept standing at the bow of the ship, but he couldn't wait to rush straight to the island and capture Captain Jack.
Captain Jack held a sea bowl and poured wine into his mouth, and after drinking, he didn't forget to stretch out his sleeve and wipe it.
Xue Zhe was attracted by Captain Jack's words, his eyelids jumped slightly, but then he spoke as if nothing had happened.
"I didn't expect my name to spread to the sea, there is no way, I don't want to keep a low profile and don't give any chance, it's too difficult. ”
Xue Zhe raised the wine bowl and touched it lightly towards Captain Jack's sea bowl, raising his head to drink the wine in the bowl.
Captain Jack also drank the wine in the bowl, put down the bowl, grabbed some meat with chopsticks, and threw it into his mouth, chewing as he spoke.
"You think too much, no matter how powerful you are inland, as long as you have never been to the sea, you are a fart, not to mention that you have not yet reached the level of a saint, just to say that you are not at sea is enough, no matter who lives at sea, people who are not close to the sea are repelled, how can you say it in the words of a scholar?"
Captain Jack put down his chopsticks and thought about it seriously, then spoke again.
"That's right, it seems that hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”
As soon as Captain Jack's voice fell, a vague momentum began to permeate Captain Jack.
Xue Zha also felt this momentum, and he was also stunned, but in an instant, the expression on his face was restored to the same as before.
"You seem to be unhappy with what I did, but don't you think it's useless?"
Xue Zhe smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was not affected at all.
Captain Jack applied a little pressure, but it turned out to be the same, which had to make him want to give up.
Xue Zha is indeed as uncommon as others say.
Captain Jack withdrew his mental strength, grabbed the jar and poured himself a glass of wine, he sighed slightly.
"I thought what others said was false, but I didn't expect it to be true, you are really powerful. ”
But as soon as Captain Jack's words fell, Xue Zha suddenly grasped a key point, "What others said."
Who said it, what it said, and why did it say it.
Three questions suddenly popped up in Xue Zha's mind, which made him even more curious.
"Captain Jack, I want you to tell me clearly how my name got to sea. ”
Xue Zhe didn't plan to ask on the side, he had to figure out who did it on purpose.
Xue Zha came to the sea because he was persecuted by others, and then finally arrived at the Holy Island, but he was expelled from the island without even turning around the island.
During this period, Xue Zha had thought more than once about why the Holy Courtyard was so cold to him, looking forward to coming over by himself, but he ignored him after he arrived.
Does this confirm the saying that what you can't get is the best thing?
