Chapter 208
The auctioneer's words caught Tang San's attention. At this point, a female assistant from the auction house came up with a delicate tray covered in red cloth, where there seemed to be a strange object.
It had the appearance of a space shuttle, with a dragon head in front, four fin-like wings on either side, and an upright fish tail at the back. It was entirely milky white – as if carved from – jade and about one chi in length from head to tail. Even though Shrek Seven Devils were in the seat furthest back, they could still sense the fluctuations in strength he released.
The auctioneer introduced loudly, “This spirit tool is the Dragon Abyss Boat, of which there is only one – that was passed down from a remote ancient time. Its function was very distinctive: it showed its true appearance only if it was infused with Spirit Power by the Spirit Master. Twelve meters long and two meters in diameter at its thickest part, it is able to hold twelve to fifteen passengers simultaneously. It can move up and down in the sea, work in the sea while navigating, and under the sea when submerged. It is said to be capable of soaking to a depth of three hundred meters. With that, there was no need to fear any storm. Once the storm gets big, you can sink into deep water. It could be described as a soul-saving treasure ship. This can be very appropriate for sightseeing and saving souls. The original shape is transparent, so you can see the scenery from every corner under the sea – is truly magical. Also, it could withstand the attacks of a hundred-year-old Ability Spirit Beasts. However, since there may be some formidable sea spirit beasts in the deep sea, in case of danger, we do not recommend going to the deep sea with it. ”
After hearing the auctioneer's introduction, Tang San couldn't help but feel a good impression for this auction. In general, for the purpose of making a good profit, auctions will praise the profit from their items as much as possible while skipping losses. But the auctioneer spoke clearly about its advantages and disadvantages. Being able to do this, can really show his credibility.
“Ten thousand gold spirit coins is the base price, you gentlemen honored guests can start bidding. ”Auction states initial price.
Ten thousand gold coins was a considerable sum, but compared to the value of the Dragon Abyss Boat, it was much less than it should be. The Dragon Abyss Boat could sink in water to a depth of three hundred meters, so it was easy to see how good its quality was, and it was truly a rare spirit power-guided device.
However, after the auctioneer gave the base price, in the auction, not a single bid was placed, and this situation looked grim at once.
That there was no bid was not because the Dragon Abyss Boat was useless, but because its function was too trivial. In the shallow seas, an ordinary boat could work quite well, and even a very good yacht cost only a hundred gold coins. The Dragon Abyss Boat only had the extra function of being a submarine, but it cost over a hundred times that. Even nobles would not be wasteful enough to buy it. The main reason is the danger at sea. Even in the shallow sea area, there might be thousands of years old spirit beasts. The defense of the Dragon Abyss Boat was truly precarious. Traces of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the auctioneer; in fact, this was not the first time that the Dragon Abyss Boat had been auctioned – it had failed so many times in the past. Every time it was auctioned, the situation would be exactly like this. But, for the reputation of the auction house, they also did not want to brag about its survivability. After all, this would be used by spirit masters. Who on earth would dare offend a spirit master?
In fact, there was another reason why the Dragon Abyss Boat could not be sold, which was due to the location of Vast Sea City. The spirit masters living there were mostly sea spirit masters, with the ability to manipulate the waves and navigate smoothly. So why did they need the Dragon Abyss Boat?
"Is there any of our honored guests who would like to make an offer?" The auction asked habitually, thinking inwardly that today's sale would be cancelled once again.
“Ten thousand gold coins. ”Clear sound coming from the back seat, immediately attract the audience's attention. However, the auction was so dark that all they could see was a raised glowing sign.
Auctioneer's eyes lit up, “Alright. Mr . No. 366 made a bid for ten thousand gold spirit coins. There was another person Ten thousand gold spirit coins, just once. Ten thousand gold coins, double. Ten thousand golden spirits, will three times – sold! ”Because of not being able to hide the excitement and desire in his voice, he made the deal in a hurry – as if the bidder was going back on his word.
Auctions take place, item after item is presented, and everything is in order. The antidote that had bought the Dragon Abyss Boat was Tang San.
Naturally, the Dragon Abyss Boat was trivial. But for them, it was very useful. First, it's portable. Second, although the Dragon Abyss Boat's defense was weak, they could make up for it. Relying on their spirit power, they were able to adequately increase the navigation power of the Dragon Abyss Boat. Moreover, with some other considerations from Tang San, they decided to buy it. Tang San, at least following his own opinion, believed that the Dragon Abyss Boat was truly worth it.
After the auction was over, Ning Rongrong went to pay, and then brought back their belongings. Due to Fatty's body condition, they did not have time to enjoy the night view of Vast Sea City, and rushed back to the hotel.
"Fatty, tell us, how does it feel to face those two sea spirit masters?" Dai Mubai asked curiously. Before taking a break, they still decided to learn more about Fatty's experience.
Ma Hongjun said, "They are quite difficult to deal with! If it wasn't for me being able to fly, and my phoenix flames holding their water, I was worried that I would lose today. Without these two abilities, even if I only faced one person, I would never win. They are very good at using water. They can easily use their spirit abilities to control the water and attack me. They looked no different from ordinary spirit abilities, but actually, when used with water as a medium, it allowed them to save a lot of spirit power. Of course, instead of – without water, their strength will be greatly reduced. In general, if we meet the sea spirit lord at sea, it is better for us to avoid it. It was definitely not a wise thing to fight against them under the sea. If that were to happen, we would definitely be stuck into the worst possible loss, as none of us understand water features well enough. ”
Tang San nodded and said, "Fatty's right. The sea spirit lord may be harder to deal with than we expected. Let me give you a simple comparison: Fighting with a sea spirit master who has the water attribute in the water, is no different from fighting with the fat in a volcanic hole. The strength of the water can increase its ability geometrically. In the case of today's fight, assuming that the battlefield was turned into the sea, the fat would be gone without a doubt. I believe the fighting ability of this sea spirit master is even greater in the sea. If the fats were still fighting against them in the same way, wanting to change the sea temperature, it would be a joke. Therefore, we should be more careful at sea at this time. ”
Everyone's faces started to get serious, nodding one after another.
Tang San said to Bai Chenxiang, “Xiangxiang, we will leave tomorrow morning. We had to trouble you at that moment. During the ten-day journey, I want you to continue lurking in the sky to ensure our safety. ”
"Good . '' Bai Chenxiang replied briefly. He could only feel excited if he could show his own worth.
Tang San turned to Ning Rongrong, “Rongrong, at sea, our main sword is fatty. His phoenix flame can produce effective restraint against sea water – therefore, once we face the problem, you should strengthen the fat first, to ensure the result of its attack. ”
Ning Rongrong said, "No problem. ”
Then Tang San turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai again, "Boss, Zhuqing. If there will be a battle at sea, the three of us will form a team. I will use the Blue Silver Emperor to unite us. I will discuss our battle methods further later. ”
His sight finally landed on Oscar and Ma Hongjun, as Tang San said, “During this trip, while at sea, the two of you are the ones we can rely on the most. Fatty, you will be the greatest attack output. During battle, be sure to save your spirit power as much as possible – do not attack before finding the best opportunity. ”
"Little ao. You should make sure there are at least eight Swift Flight Mushroom Sausages available at all times. None of us can swim well. With Swift's Flight Mushroom Sausage, we could at least have a temporary flight. ”
“This is all I can think of for now. Anything else you want to add? ”With a real cruise on the sea right around the corner, Tang San has clearly become more cautious. As the soul of the team, he had to plan it comprehensively.
Oscar said, “I'm fine here. I've prepared a number of Clone Mirror Large Sausage on the way. At that time, with the help of Swift's Flight Mushroom Sausage, at least it could guarantee us flying in the sky for some time. In addition, with the ability to fly Little San, Xiangxiang, and fatty, we can make our flight time longer. However, there is one thing I have to show you here. At sea, our true power cannot be fully exerted. If we find a sea spirit beast that is over ten thousand years old, what should we do? Even on a ten-day trip at sea, I think it's still quite possible. ”
Tang San nodded, saying, “I've thought about this. If it were just a normal ten thousand year old spirit beast, it wouldn't threaten us too much. Besides, we have other ways to save our lives. I will conduct a trial on the effects of the vast Sea Shroud Vast at sea. If it can still make us invisible, then the best part of the Dragon Abyss Boat can be given. ”
Hearing Tang San's words, everyone felt enlightened for a moment. If the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could help the Dragon Abyss Boat move unseen, then, let alone a ten thousand year old spirit beast, it would be, even a hundred thousand year old spirit beast would not be something to worry about. They had already experienced the advantages of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. As long as they were within the protection of the Cosmic Sheath of the Extensive Sea, there was no need to worry about security. Even if someone were to pass through them, he would not notice their existence at all.
After using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, there would be warped space around them, and everything covered by it would be like disappearing into thin air. So far at least, through the various trials of the Seven Demons, there was no way to detect the location of the Broad Cosmic Sea Shroud. But in terms of whether a spirit master stronger than them could detect it, they could not be certain yet.
Dai Mubai praised, Little “San, you must be smart. I'm wondering why you bought this stuff. If it was just to escape, ten thousand gold spirit coins would be too extravagant. But if, as you said, the Dragon Abyss Boat is working with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, then even if we don't go to rent a boat, it will still be easy to reach Sea God's Island. ”
Tang San said, "Right now, this is just a hypothesis. Whether it can be realized will be determined tomorrow. Renting a boat is still necessary. None of us swims well, and with a big boat, we can also accommodate more faster. If there is no other opinion, we can rest. Fatty, especially you, be sure to restore your spirit power back. ”
Ma Hongjun laughed, saying, “No problem. ”
After a silent night, on the morning of the second day, Shrek Seven Devils with Bai Chenxiang walked almost across the entire city, leaving the Spacious Sea City from the west gate. They walked down the wide road out of the city that was exclusively carved on the reef, towards the pier.
Anyone who wanted to go overboard from the pier of Vast Sea City had to pass through this road, therefore, although building a road on the reef was difficult, it was difficult, the authorities of Vast Sea City did not attempt to build the road in a neat manner. .
The dock here is a very large place. More than twenty piers several hundred meters long flowed into the sea. It was the starting point and terminal point of the sea trade, and also a great source of income for the entire Broad Sea City.
Although mighty spirit beasts never lacked in the sea, there were also boundless treasures. Relying on the sea and living in the sea, had become the eternal truth of Vast Sea City. So even though there were a number of people who lost their lives inside the mouths of sea spirit beasts every year, the situation never changed.
Near the sea, most of the land contains salt – is not suitable for growing crops – so only a variety of creatures in the sea can generate income for the Spacious Sea City. And it is beside the sea that one can draw various resources from it.
Very quickly, Tang San found the ship he had rented with Oscar the other day, which was a new ocean liner, with an appearance that looked quite good. The hull is painted metallic grey, with only a few red and white ornaments on the deck. It is said that such hull painting is to avoid the attack of wild beasts.
The body of the ship was fifty meters long, and over twenty meters wide, which was not large among the ships of the sea, but also not small. If one were to look at it carefully, he would find that, under the gray hull paint, there was an extremely thick armor that protected the body of the ship.
The reason why Tang San and Oscar chose this ship was because its defense was quite good. So even though renting a boat was expensive, provided they could arrive at Sea God Island safely, it would be worth it. As far as returning was concerned, they could rely on their own abilities.
"Welcome to Sea Devil!" On the deck, a middle-aged man in his fifties moved towards them, showing a friendly manner while laughing.
Tang San introduced him to the others, saying, "This is the Sea Demon Captain, Master. Haiders. ”
Haider smiled in a kind manner, saying, “Welcome, beautiful women, and of course, handsome men. It seems this trip will be very exciting. I'm very happy to serve you. Saying that, his gaze swept across everyone's bodies, and when it passed by the four beautiful women, it did not stay too long.
Seeing this scene, Tang San's disciples slightly shrank, saying nothing.
With the introduction of Haider, everyone learned that there were eight sailors within the entire Sea Demon. Besides him as Captain, there was a chief officer and six sailors.
Sea Demon has three layers in total – two above the deck and one below it. As people spent money, Tang San and Shrek Seven Devils would naturally live in two layers above the deck, while the crew stayed below.
Live in the top layer and look out, giving a unique and long-lasting charm. There were six rooms in this layer, which was really enough for eight people to stay.
The strong smell of the sea began to hit their sense of smell as soon as they boarded the ship. The sea breeze whistling in late autumn brought them cold. Fortunately, they were all no ordinary people. With their strong endurance, this cold wind could barely affect them.
“Weigh anchor and depart. “Everyone is there. With the orders of Captain Haider, the Sea Devil departed.
Tang San exclusively copied the sea map for her, letting her go in the designated direction.
The weather today was great. It was calm and serene in the sea, and the body of the Sea Devil was not small. After weighing the anchors, thanks to the hard work of the sailors, they easily got out of the dock, heading out to sea. When the Sea Devil fully sailed into the sea, and parted from the ranks of the docks, by order of Captain Haider, the major newspapers were arranged and adjusted, which pushed them towards their travel destination.
The sea cannot be replaced by another view. If one did not really go to sea, one would probably never feel such an overwhelming feeling. The boundless ocean stretched out to the horizon, where water and sky joined together. At this moment, the sun rose slowly, shining in the sea as the waves gleamed.
This feeling of joy lasted until noon.
Of course, lunch consists mainly of seafood. Some simple sea fish, boiled in clean water with greens purchased at Vast Sea City, without any special decoration, still made everyone eat happily. Especially since Captain Haider specifically added a few large crabs, whose delicious taste can rarely be enjoyed while on the mainland, allowing the Shrek Seven Devils to satisfy desires.
However, after lunch, only Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang could maintain this mood.
After lunch, the wind and waves began to surge, and the Sea Devil also fluctuated with the waves. At first it was fine, but as time passed, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and Oscar began to show signs of seasickness.
Xiao Wu was better off, as he was directly put into Tang San's Treasure Chest Wallet, but the other three, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar, started to vomit violently, made the sailors laugh out loud. Haider told them that they would get used to it after vomiting a few times.
Although Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun also felt a little uncomfortable, their bodies were the best among the Seven Demons, allowing them to endure. As for Bai Chenxiang, once he felt uneasy, he would instantly fly into the sky, not only to scout but also to avoid the feeling of seasickness.
After a day had passed, all around them was a boundless ocean, and the trail of land could no longer be seen. After embarking on the journey, they still felt much more comfortable than on land, but after a day, each of them turned pale.
Sometimes, when it was quiet, Tang San would take Xiao Wu from the Wishful Hundred Treasures Purse to breathe in the fresh air outside. But in the real sea, how long can it be quiet? Nevertheless, Xiao Wu's adaptive capacity was much better than he expected. After several seasicknesses, his symptoms faded faster than the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils.
But Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, after today, not to mention cultivating, they did not even dare to eat too much. It seems that the multiple times of vomiting make them appear pale – and it is as if they will faint at any time.
Even so, they were, after all, spirit teachers above rank sixty. After several changes to their bodies, their adaptive abilities were so strong, that they were able to adapt to the jolt in the sea gradually.
By noon the next day, the ocean finally recovered. In the sun, the cabin was filled with warmth. Those who got seasick went to sleep with only a small fish soup. Since they had to adapt to the sea voyage, their bodies also recovered.
Tang San stood on the deck and looked into the distance. The direction can only be distinguished from the sun in the sea. He knew that the direction the Sea Devil was taking was correct, and was in the process of approaching the Sea God Island.
Haider came next to Tang San, saying respectfully, Dear Spirit Master, according to his route, and following the same pattern, we will arrive at our destination in eight days. However, within half a day from now, we will enter the active area where the spirit beasts live. We will rely on your support. ”
This captain had become much more respectful towards them ever since he saw Bai Chenxiang flying swiftly in the sky.
Tang San said calmly, “Captain Haider. You also sail far away often. In general, if you find a powerful spirit beast, how do you deal with it? ”
Haider smiled slightly, saying, “In general, a beast does not attack ships. Only a small number of evil spirit beasts would attack themselves. Therefore, as long as we do not hate the spirit beasts in the sea, most of it is fine. But if we really do encounter that powerful and grumpy spirit beast, we must accept bad luck. After all, no matter how powerful the ship was, it was basically impossible to withstand that monstrous beast. Every year people die in the sea – almost like a sacrifice to a sea spirit beast. But don't worry, our ship is painted with special medicine to repel beasts. They really hate this smell, and generally won't come close. The captains who dared to sail deep into the sea, all had sea maps in their brains. Relying on the sea map, we can guarantee the safety of our passengers. ”
"Ah? What sea map? ”Ask Tang San with curiosity.
Haider said, “Sea map of how powerful sea spirit beasts are distributed. The ferocious beasts in the sea were similar to those in the continent, in some aspects. They also have their own territory. And their sense of territory was even stronger than the continent spirit beasts. So as long as we don't enter the territory of those extremely powerful sea spirit beasts, we won't upset them and get into trouble. Saying this, there was a hint of pride on his face.
Tang San looked at him seriously, saying, “It seems that the Captain knows a lot about ferocious beasts. ”
Haider's face changed slightly, saying, “When seeking safety at sea, it is always better to know more. That way we can live longer. Didn't we? ”
Tang San smiled, saying nothing more, and turned his gaze towards the sea once more.
Their time at sea passed very quickly, and the night approached very quickly. Today is a fun day, and it's easy to see the stars and moon clearly overhead. The beautiful scenery of the bright moon rising from the sea made everyone fascinated.
Taking advantage of the good weather of the day, those affected by seasickness have recovered roughly. They did not have the right mood to admire the beautiful scenery, and went to bed early.
Tang San held Xiao Wu and let her lie on her bed. The cabin is not big. Other than the bed, there was not much room to move. Through the window, the dazzling moonlight could only be seen.
Although the sea breeze was not strong, the temperature in the late night was still very low. Cold air enters the cabin, preventing the temperature from getting higher.
Tang San folded the thick cotton mattress into two layers, placed it on the inside of the bed, and let Xiao Wu feel softer and more comfortable while lying on it. The blanket also covered Xiao Wu's body, while he slept on the outside with clothes, blocking the cold from outside.
Although the conditions were a bit difficult, Tang San greatly enjoyed the feeling. Being able to withstand the wind and rain for her lover, to her, was a kind of happiness.
Xiao Wu, leaning on Tang San's shoulder, slept soundly, with his little hand on his chest. His long eyelashes touched his eyelids, flickered slightly. Looking at the moonlight from the outside, and seeing the beauty on his arm, which was even prettier than moonlight, Tang San could not help but feel enchanted.
Just when Tang San was a bit sleepy, and his consciousness became blurred, he suddenly felt his spiritual power fluctuate slightly. When he opened his eyes warily, he saw a thread of red light sneak out from his body and seep into Xiao Wu's body quietly. And then the sleeping Xiao Wu opened his eyes.
Their eyes meet. Xiao Wu's beautiful big eyes had already recovered their color, and when they saw Tang San, they were filled with bitterness.
Before Tang San could open his mouth, he had already quickly said, “Ge, why don't you take care of yourself? ”
"I ..." Looking at Xiao Wu's eyes, Tang San's heart was already full.
"I ..." Looking at Xiao Wu's eyes, Tang San's heart was already full.
"Stand, quickly. "Xiao Wu pushed Tang San lightly, letting him get out of bed. She opened the mattress quickly, and pulled Tang San back to the bed, with a red hue flickering on her pretty face, as she covered their bodies with a blanket.
Tang San only felt a soft and gentle body infiltrate his arm, and two arms wrapped around his neck. A warm, hot and soft body, full of elasticity stuck to his body while wriggling gently. A writhing feeling, almost awakened Tang San's most primitive instinct immediately.
Buried in Tang San's chest, Xiao Wu said softly, “Ge. If you feel uncomfortable, come and take me. I've been yours all along. All life, only yours. ”
Tang San stroked a little black and shiny hair of Xiao Wu a little, while lowering his head and kissing his forehead, “No, I am very greedy. Silly, I want you forever. ”
Raising his head timidly, unexpectedly, Xiao Wu found Tang San's own lips. Lips met, and suddenly, both of their souls felt the most intimate collision. Tang San sucked at Xiao Wu's soft lips greedily, holding her soft body tightly, as if wanting to fuse with her body. Unknowingly, his huge hand started swimming behind and Xiao Wu's hips. Inside the blankets, and even inside the entire cabin, the temperature rose sharply.
Tang San's soul trembled, and Xiao Wu's soul trembled even more violently. Suddenly, Tang San woke up. Every movement stopped. Not until now did he wake up to the shock of – when his two hands each rested on a towering mountain peak and an incredible plateau, unexpectedly. A touching feeling, still touching, regardless of the layer of clothing and the Eight Treasures Armor.
A bright pink layer had already covered Xiao Wu's skin. Whispering lightly, her most supple body twirled Tang San again. Tang San did not dare to imagine how it would be if they really did, and Xiao Wu slightly adopted her gentle abilities, how wonderful that feeling would be.
“Ge, take me. '' Xiao Wu whispered in an indistinct voice.
Tang San hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue, and the sharp pain made him very conscious. He was an extremely strong and persistent man, as it was only Xiao Wu who could easily destroy his will. Under an ache, Tang San choked on a beautiful feeling, and lifted Xiao Wu up and placed his hand back on her waist, behaving well.
“No, Xiao Wu, your soul is unstable, it can only return to your body for a while. If I take you, I'm afraid your soul will be hurt. You're mine forever, so you can't escape. Once I've helped you recover fully, even if you don't want to, I'll also take you. But not now . I'm not going to let you get hurt, not even a little bit. ”
Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu's body stopped swaying. When he lifted his head, his eyes were already dim with tears.
"Ge, I beg you one thing. Will you promise me? ”The voice vibrates, making Tang San's heart vibrate as well.
"Tell me . "Tang San said gently, lowering his head and kissing the crystal tears on the pretty Xiao Wu's face.
"You have to promise me first. ”
Tang San's heart moved slightly, saying, “Oke. As long as it has nothing to do with your awakening, everything is fine. ”
"Ge ..." Xiao Wu looked at Tang San dejectedly, "Why are you always this smart? Ge, I never begged you for anything. Let me beg, do not let my soul return to the body. Aren't we okay now like this? In fact, my soul can already return to my body once a day and meet you. For me, this is enough. ”
Tang San said seriously, “But, that's not enough for me. All I want is to live with you forever – with the complete Xiao Wu. There's something else, except this. I have to raise you. ”
Xiao Wu rushed, “But, it will cost you dearly! All of the spirit abilities you gained through your hard work will be lost, and your spirit power will never surpass rank ninety again. I don't want you to sacrifice much for me. ”
Kissing Xiao Wu's forehead, Tang San slightly sighed, “Dumb girl, that's not fair. Why can you sacrifice yourself for me, but I can't devote myself to you? Well, now there are only two possibilities before you. First, is to listen to my arrangements, and wait for your awakening and behave properly. You can work with me and resurrect yourself successfully, and then we can be together happily. The alternative is very simple; I can promise you, I'll die in front of you soon. ”
Tang San's eyes were very calm, staring at Xiao Wu steadily, “Xiao Wu, you should know, I'm not joking with you. Perhaps, it is not easy for others to kill me. But if I really want to die, nothing can stop me. Listen to me, don't discuss with me about this question again. That can't be discussed. ”
"Ge ..." Throwing himself into Tang San's arms, Xiao Wu's tears flowed, and could not be stopped anymore. She knew Tang San was not kidding. Although Tang San sometimes looked gentle, once he actually decided on something, he would not change his mind. In his personality, the stern and strict aspects were truly the best of all Shrek Seven Devils.
