Eau Island, Natural Harbor
Pei Zi Yun enjoyed a sumptuous banquet in Kale's palace before bidding farewell to Kale.
"Respected lady, thank you for your warm hospitality. I still need food and water from you, as well as the gold and bronze on the ship."
When Kale heard the mention of gold and bronze, his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Your request is simple. I will arrange for my servants to bring my pets to deliver these items to you."
"Oh, beautiful lady, you are too generous. I will definitely get rid of the sea monster as soon as possible." With that, Pei Zi Yun turned and followed the servant out.
"They are all beautiful ladies, just that they seem more fragile." There were four maids in total, and they all looked like beautiful and elegant fairies. They opened the door and called out, and a wild wolf and a fierce lion rushed out of the courtyard. The wild wolf bared its sharp teeth, and the lion shook its unkempt mane.
The two soldiers were so afraid that they wanted to run, but Pei Zi Yun did not move. On one hand, he knew that these beasts were humans, and on the other, he was not afraid at all.
"It's just wolves and lions. If they really attack, I'll just kill them."
As he hesitated, the beasts surrounded him. The strange thing was that the beasts were very gentle. The fairy commanded them to carry heavy food and water on their backs. The water was all stored in jars.
They stood in a row, waiting for their master to give the order.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the beasts in front of him. He wanted to help, but he could not.
"Let's go!" The fairy gave the order. The lions and wolves dragged the food and water in a long line towards the beach.
Before long, Pei Zi Yun had brought them to the beach where the ship was docked. He ordered his men to move all the food and water onto the ship. He then moved the gold and bronze off the ship and placed them on the backs of the wild beasts so that they could carry them back.
Just like that, Pei Zi Yun completed his first transaction with Kale. The process was smooth.
"Gold and bronze do not mean much to me." Pei Zi Yun was not much wealthier than the King or the Prince. However, the King and the Prince had saved up for their future. Pei Zi Yun did not have such thoughts. He used the gold and bronze generously. This was one of the reasons that the Gods liked.
It was obvious that Kale was the same. He even sent people to bring some tools to repair the ship.
After a while, the soldiers who had cut down the trees also came back. When they knew that the prince and the female fairy who lived on the island had reached an agreement, they could not help but cheer.
They used food and tools to process the trees into various parts for the ship, and then repaired the ship.
The repair of the entire ship took about a week. Although it took a long time, it was sufficient to ensure the safety of the ship at sea.
By the time the repairs were completed, it was already night time. Pei Zi Yun took advantage of the high tide to sail the repaired ship out to sea.
After circling the island for a while, they found a natural harbor that was sheltered from the wind. Pei Zi Yun then ordered the ship to sail in.
Within the cliff, Pei Zi Yun spent the night peacefully. The next morning, the ship set sail and prepared to head out to sea in search of the Sea Monster.
"Prince Paris, we've found traces of a sea monster." It seemed that the sea monster was hovering near the island of Aiea, and soon a sailor hurried over to report the situation.
Pei Zi Yun looked over and saw that on the surface of the sea, a serpentine monster with a horn on its forehead was rushing towards the shore.
The body of the sea monster was huge. It was more than twenty meters long and ten meters tall. Its blood-red eyes seemed to have some kind of magical power that could steal one's soul.
The appearance of the sea monster was really coincidental. Pei Zi Yun was just about to look for it when it came to him.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the sea monster carefully and saw that it was similar to Kale's description. He knew that this was the sea monster that Kale had said had attacked so many ships.
At this moment, he saw the sea monster heading towards the shore. His heart flashed with a trace of surprise. He did not know what was attracting it to the shore.
Without thinking too much, Pei Zi Yun immediately ordered the sailor to turn the ship and head in the direction of the sea monster. He wanted to kill the sea monster and complete Kale's task as soon as possible so that he could return to Troy as soon as possible.
He did not want to be like Odysseus and wander the seas for ten years.
Pei Zi Yun's ship sped towards the sea monster and successfully blocked its path before it reached the shore. The sea monster was extremely fierce. When it saw a ship heading towards it, it immediately changed its direction and charged towards the ship.
Pei Zi Yun's eyes turned cold. He saw that the back of the sea monster was covered with scales, but there were no scales on its sides. He aimed the spear in his hand and viciously threw it. The spear shot towards the side of the sea monster.
"Pu." The defense of the back of the sea monster was not strong. The bronze spear pierced through more than half of its body, and fresh blood flowed out from the wound.
"Roar."
The Snake-Necked Dragon let out a deafening roar as it charged towards the ship that Pei Zi Yun was on with even greater ferocity.
"Dodge." The ship quickly changed direction and narrowly avoided the monster's attack. However, Pei Zi Yun knew that this time he had hit it with his spear. The next time the monster attacked, it would not be so easy to dodge.
He looked around and picked up the bronze anchor on the ship. He tested its weight and nodded his head in satisfaction.
He still remembered that the first time he killed the sea monster, he had used a bronze anchor as well. This showed that if the bronze anchor was used properly, it would be extremely powerful.
"Go, my anchor!" When the sea monster attacked again, Pei Zi Yun aimed at its bleeding wound and viciously threw the anchor at it.
"Xiu." The bronze anchor hit the sea monster's wound at an extremely fast speed, penetrating deep into the Snake-Necked Dragon's body and even squeezing out the bronze spear. The Snake-Necked Dragon let out a deafening roar. It was obvious that the pain it suffered this time was far greater than when the spear was nailed in.
The serpentine monster struggled with all its might, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not get rid of the bronze anchor. The bronze anchor was like a nail in the sea monster's body.
It seemed to know that struggling was futile. It changed its strategy and ran towards the sea. The ship, under the pull of the sea monster, followed it.
"Prince, it's dragging us along. Quickly cut the rope." The sailor cried out in fear. Pei Zi Yun looked at him and refused, "No, I must kill it. If not, how are we going to get back?"
"Could it be that you know the way back to Troy?"
"No, we must kill this sea monster and get the map from Kale." As he said this, Pei Zi Yun looked at the sea monster dragging the ship away. He suddenly thought of the story of the old man and the sea. Perhaps the old man had encountered a similar situation?
Return empty-handed, or risk the danger and fight the sea monster. Let's see who would admit defeat in the end.
Furthermore, Pei Zi Yun wanted to kill the sea monster to level up. Hence, he had to kill it. This monster was huge, and would definitely increase his strength.
The serpentine monster dived into the sea and surfaced again, but it did not slow down at all.
The ship broke through the waves as it sped forward. The sea monster was pulling the ship along. It was a strange scene, as if the sea monster was doing free labor for them.
The sailors could only resign themselves to their fate. The sea monster was dragging their ship deeper into the sea, and they did not know where it would take them.
The sea was vast, and there was not a single piece of land in sight. The color of the water was getting darker, and large fish could be seen swimming in it.
After some time, the speed of the ship slowed down. Pei Zi Yun thought that the sea monster must be tired. After a while, the ship stopped and moved with the waves.
"Prince, the sea monster seems to be dead." A sailor reported. Pei Zi Yun looked up and saw the sea monster floating on the surface of the sea, not moving an inch.
"It's dead." There was no need for any other evidence. Just the statue of the serpentine monster was enough for Pei Zi Yun to know that the sea monster was dead.
However, the ship was deep in the sea, and he had no idea where it was. There was only water everywhere, and no island in sight.
An experienced sailor guided the ship forward. After some time, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Prince, look, it's land."
Pei Zi Yun, who was resting with his eyes closed, stood up and looked into the distance. Indeed, land could be seen in the distance. He then ordered, "Open the sails, full speed ahead."
The sails of the ship were opened up, and the wind blew. Before long, they were nearing land. From afar, it looked like an island. The island was covered with lush vegetation, and was shrouded in mist.
"Take up your weapons and be on guard." Pei Zi Yun ordered. The sailor picked up his spear and cautiously docked the ship on a beach.
The beach was shrouded in mist, and it was difficult for the sunlight to penetrate.
Pei Zi Yun brought a few sailors down from the ship and stepped onto the white sand. He felt slightly uneasy, as the surroundings were too quiet.
In addition, the sunlight was scarce, and visibility was not good.
Two groups of sailors went ashore to investigate. Gradually, they walked further away. Pei Zi Yun was about to remind them to be careful when all of a sudden, he heard a scream, "Ah, there's a monster."
Following that, a series of screams could be heard. Pei Zi Yun looked towards the direction of the sound. At the edge of the beach, a few monsters could be seen.
The monsters appeared and disappeared, and he could not see them clearly. The screams of the sailors could be heard.
How could Pei Zi Yun allow the monsters to act so presumptuously? He instructed the sailors on the ship, "Use the anchor and stay on the rocks. Don't come down. I'll go take a look."
The sailors on the ship nodded. They had full trust in Prince Paris. After all, Prince Paris had killed many monsters.
Pei Zi Yun raised his spear and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
Just as he came out of the mist, he saw a monster biting a sailor. It was dragging him deeper into the forest.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun shouted in anger, and threw his spear at the monster.
"Xiu." The spear pierced through the air, and with a "pu" sound, the monster was nailed to the ground. Fresh blood splattered everywhere. The monster screamed and threw the sailor away.
Although the sailor was thrown away, he did not move. It was obvious that he was dead.
"Damn it!" There weren't many sailors left, and now they had lost two of them. This was like adding snow to snow. Pei Zi Yun was enraged. He rushed in front of the monster and blocked the spear before stabbing it down.
