The biggest difference between the North Sea and the Netherworld Sea was that the North Sea was translucent blue, while the Netherworld Sea was black. Therefore, the boundary between the two seas would appear a special dark blue. This was an effect produced by the mixing of the waters on both sides. The sea beasts that lived in the mixed waters were also special. For example, the devil ray that he was going to catch this time.
Before Du Feng could find the head of the devil ray, a speedboat sailed towards him. When he got closer, he realized that it was a few beast cultivators in charge of collecting fees. That's right, if you wanted to catch sea beasts in the mixed waters, you had to pay a fee first.
Damn, who said beast cultivators were stupid? They were just too good at making money. If these beast cultivators were here to rob him, Du Feng definitely wouldn't be polite to them. However, they weren't ordinary Yao cultivators. Instead, they were representatives of the nearby city lord's mansion called Sea Cutter City.
The location of this city happened to be on the dividing line between the North Sea and the Netherworld Sea. Therefore, it was called Sea Cutter City. The distance between the north and south of Sea Cutter City was the same as the length of the mixed waters. Was it intentional when the city was built, or was it just a coincidence that the amount of seawater on both sides mixed? In short, there would be speedboats patrolling this area from time to time. If you didn't pay, don't even think about catching sea beasts here. Beast cultivators were no exception.
Collecting fees here was the main source of income for Sea Cutter City. Therefore, the people from the city lord's office didn't give face to anyone. Even if other city lords came, they would still obediently pay the fee. Du Feng was already quite far from the shore, but he was still discovered by the patrol team.
"What, three hundred purple crystals?"
Du Feng thought that he had heard it wrong. It was 300 Purple Crystals to capture in the Hybrid Sea Area for a day. Only human cultivators who entered Tang Temple City had to pay ten purple crystals. When he docked at the south shore, the berth rental fee was only a hundred purple crystals.
The sea beasts in the mixed waters weren't bred by Sea Cutter City. They existed naturally. Fishing here for a day actually required three hundred purple crystals. That was too much of a rip-off. It wouldn't be a big deal if there was no time limit. But to charge three hundred purple crystals a day? If he didn't catch anything for a few days, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"That's right, it's 300 Purple Crystals. If you don't hand it over, get lost."
Du Feng really didn't like hearing that. For a moment, he really wanted to kill these people and let the Sea Serpent King eat them and destroy their corpses. However, after some consideration, he realized that he was definitely not the only cultivator and Yao cultivator who had come to the mixed sea region to fish. He was not the only one who wanted to get rid of the patrolling guards. Since they dared to charge fees so blatantly, they must have something to rely on. Otherwise, with their level of Cultivation, they wouldn't have dared to talk to him like that.
"Pay a one-time fee of 1,000 Purple Crystals, and you can harvest for four consecutive days. Do you want to consider it?"
Seeing Du Feng take out the money, the patrolmen's attitude became slightly better. If it was 300 Purple Crystals a day, then it should be 1,200 Purple Crystals for four days. A one-time payment of a thousand Purple Crystals for four days was considered a discount of two hundred Purple Crystals.
"Okay, then I'll book it for four days."
Du Feng thought about it. Although the price was expensive, he did not lack the money. Since the fees in the Hybrid Sea Region were so high, there must be some places that were extremely expensive. Otherwise, everyone would not come here to fish because it was expensive, and the patrolmen would have starved to death long ago.
This time, Du Feng only had 1,000 Purple Crystals, so he did not tip the patrolmen much. After all, this was the sea, not the city gate. The patrolmen changed frequently, so they could not be of much help to him. After paying the money, the patrol officer gave him a token.
This kind of token had four days of use, which allowed Du Feng to fish to his heart's content in this area. Moreover, the token had another function. If he encountered any danger that he could not solve within four days, he could call for help from the patrolmen. Within four days, he could call for help once a day, adding up to a total of four times.
Well, that's more like it. Since he had accepted the money, he had to provide some services. Du Feng was not interested in things like calling for help from the patrolmen. If it was something that he could not handle with his level of Cultivation, what was the use of those patrolmen who had a low level of Cultivation? However, since he had spent the money, he kept the token first.
Eh, this is a little interesting. Du Feng tried to put the token into the storage ring, and it could not be put into the small world of the necklace. He had to hide the token in his pocket first, so that he would not lose it. As long as the token was with him, the next patrolmen would not charge him twice.
What a joke. Not long after the patrol speedboat left, Du Feng had just put away the token and was about to continue heading north. He thought that there might be fewer sea beasts here, and that he could only encounter Ghost Head Fish if he continued to approach the Netherworld Sea. Before he could start the Princess again, a large group of Ghost Head Fish surrounded him.
They all exposed their White Bone Fish heads and opened their mouths to reveal two rows of sharp teeth. The sharp triangular teeth were densely packed together, gleaming with cold light. It was terrifying to look at. Although the Ghost Head Fish were small in size, when a large number of them gathered together, even the Sea Serpent King was afraid. Because these things had almost no sense of pain, and they were fearless. Especially the head, which did not grow meat, was not afraid of pain, and would not be poisoned.
Their sharp teeth could make a hole in the body of many large sea beasts. One Ghost Head Fish could make a hole, and ten thousand Ghost Head Fish would make ten thousand holes. Even if it was a strong sea beast, it would not be able to withstand ten thousand holes in its body.
Du Feng scanned with his Spiritual Sense, and cursed in his heart. Because there were exactly ten thousand Ghost Head Fish surrounding him. Each of them was the size of a human head, and compared to the large sea beasts, they were very small, but if they bit a person, they could gnaw into a skeleton in minutes.
What to do, Du Feng was really in a dilemma. He did not have a net that could resist the iron teeth of the Ghost Head Fish, if he had it, he could use a net to catch them. These things had bones, even if he used the Buddha's Light Palm, it would not be easy to kill them, he could only knock them unconscious. However, once the Ghost Head Fish touched the Buddha's Light Palm, the Yin Qi on their body would dissipate, and they would lose the purpose of catching them.
If he did not knock them unconscious, they would not obediently let themselves be caught. Seeing so many Ghost Head Fish surrounding him, Du Feng had to put away the Princess Speedboat and floated in the air.
"Crackle … …"
Seeing that there was a living person above it, the Ghost Fish Head in the sea jumped up excitedly. They were lifted four or five meters high, and then fell back into the sea. The scene was like putting dumplings in a super big pot, it was quite lively.
