Seeing Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi come out of the water, the other Cultivators couldn't help but stare. They didn't think that Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi would be able to come out of the water this quickly. Seeing that the two didn't seem to be in a bad state, they thought that they didn't encounter any evil fish at all.
Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't say anything. Since he already put away the tent, he waved his hand and took out the rock. After carefully examining the rock, Zhao Hai nodded and threw the rock into the water.
Shui Zhi looked at Zhao, puzzled. He didn't know what Zhao meant. Zhao looked at Shui Zhi and smiled faintly. "Do you feel that when you encounter those evil fishes in the water, you have a feeling that you can't use your strength?"
Shui Zhi nodded and said, "It's indeed strange. Those evil fish are very strong. And with the fact that we're in the water, it's quite difficult to deal with them."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's not that it's difficult for you to deal with them. It's just that it's very difficult to deal with them in this sea. Did you notice that you haven't seen these strange fish in other places? Isn't this strange?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Shui Zhi stared. Then he thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it's true. I've never heard of these strange fish in other places. It seems like it's only here."
Zhao Hai looked at the reef and said, "Do you feel what this reef looks like?"
"Evil fish. This place is called Evil Fish Reef. First, it's because of these fish. Second, it's because the reef here looks like these fish. Because of this, it's called Evil Fish Reef."
"Right, its appearance. Moreover, when we reach the bottom, our strength will be suppressed by the Evil Fish Reef's aura. You might not have noticed this, but when we reach the bottom, it's as if we've entered the domain of a Cultivation Method. Our strength is greatly suppressed while the strength of the evil fish increases."
"Aura? The aura of a Cultivation Method? How is this possible? How can there be such an aura here? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The reason is because of these reefs. These reefs look like evil fish. Moreover, the reef that we just brought up was brought up from the bottom of the sea. Inside the reef, there are some different substances. Because of this, we can roughly infer that there used to be an Evil Fish King living in this area. He was very strong and was the overlord of this area. But for some unknown reason, perhaps because he lived for too long, he died and the corpse of the Evil Fish King sank here. After many years, the strength of the Evil Fish King didn't disappear. Instead, it leaked out and slowly formed these reefs. Similarly, the Evil Fish King's aura also formed an aura below. Inside this aura, the Evil Fish King's aura would be strengthened while the strength of other creatures would be suppressed. Although the Evil Fish King didn't have any intelligence, they still had an innate intuition. They knew that staying here would be good for them. Therefore, this Evil Fish Reef became their territory. Perhaps after many years, another Evil Fish King would appear here."
When Shui Zhi heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but be startled. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, is what you said true? Are these reefs really formed from the remains of the Evil Fish King? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's very possible that these reefs contain the remains of the Evil Fish King. However, the remains of the Evil Fish King are useless to us. Let's go, let's leave this place."
Shui Zhi nodded. Then Zhao Hai directly took out the iron bowl. After the two got on the iron bowl, they immediately left the Evil Fish Reef and flew forward.
Their voices weren't very loud, so other people couldn't hear them. They only saw Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi holding a reef and studying it for a long time. Then they threw the reef away and said a few words before leaving. Looking at their appearance, they didn't seem to be looking for the Evil Fish King. Instead, they seemed to be looking for treasures. This made the other Cultivators curious. Many Cultivators dived to the bottom of the sea to see if there was anything different. Naturally, they didn't find anything and a lot of people died. This made them very depressed.
The next place that Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi went to was very famous in the South Sea. It was called the Gloomy Trench. It was the deepest trench in the coastal waters.
The Gloomy Trench was one of the most famous places in the coastal waters. In the beginning, no one discovered this trench. Later on, a Cultivator who was exploring the sea accidentally found this trench. This trench was very deep, its bottom might be no less than ten thousand meters deep. This was because no one had ever been this deep before.
In the Gloomy Trench, there were a lot of good things. For example, Sky Colored Iron Essence. There were also all kinds of aquatic plants. The aquatic plants here were all top quality medicinal herbs. They were very useful and very useful. In addition to these, there were also a lot of sea beasts. The sea beasts in the Gloomy Trench were very strong. However, their bodies were also full of treasures. Whether it was sea snakes, turtles, or fish, all of them were treasures. If an average person could get their hands on one of these sea beasts, then they would be able to exchange it for a lot of crystal stones.
The skin and armor of these fish had a very strong defensive ability. They were completely immune to the attack of water magic. Their blood could be used as medicine. Even if it wasn't used as medicine, it could be taken directly. For some people who practiced water cultivation methods, it was a great tonic. After eating their flesh, it could make the body of a cultivator stronger and strengthen the muscles and bones. Their bones were one of the best materials for water magic tools. Whether it was used directly to refine a magic tool or added with other materials, it could play a very important role in water magic tools.
However, in this gloomy trench, there was no place for people to rest. After arriving here, you can only prepare your own boat on the surface of the sea. Otherwise, once you enter the water, you can only float in the air. That would be very uncomfortable.
If you prepare a boat on the sea, then you would have to leave someone behind to look after it. Otherwise, once you enter the sea, your boat would disappear.
The reason why the Gloomy Trench had such a name wasn't because it was dark, but because the people living in the Gloomy Trench weren't good people. Killing and plundering were normal for them. Every year, a lot of people would die in the Gloomy Trench for unknown reasons. Even the disciples of Great Sects would die here. Most importantly, even if the disciples of Great Sects died here, nobody would know how they died. After killing them, they would just throw them into the trench and the corpses would immediately be eaten by the sea beasts. It was impossible to trace them back to the Gloomy Trench.
Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi's destination this time was the Gloomy Trench. This time, Zhao Hai was prepared to take a look at the Gloomy Trench. After passing through the Gloomy Trench and flying for some distance, there was an island. However, this island was still a day away from the Gloomy Trench. It was also the closest island to the Gloomy Trench. This island was also the outermost island of the 72 islands in the South Sea. After flying for three to five days, one wouldn't be able to see another island. They also wouldn't be able to get any supplies. Because of this, there were fewer and fewer people going to the Sword Spirit Realm.
Zhao Hai's plan was to fly to the Gloomy Trench and take a look at the island. After that, they would fly back to the Spirit Crab Island's market. After that, they would fly to the other side of the Gloomy Trench. After that, they would fly to the other side of the Gloomy Trench. After that, they would fly to the other side of the Gloomy Trench.
After half a day, Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi finally arrived at the Gloomy Trench. Although the Gloomy Trench didn't have any obvious markings on the surface of the sea, the Cultivators who discovered it had new markings on it. These were ships, all kinds of ships. These ships were the best markings for this place.
Seeing the ships in front of them, Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi knew that they had arrived. However, Shui Zhi frowned as he looked at the ships. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, what do we do now? We don't have any ships. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Do you see the biggest ships? Those ships were arranged by the people from the 72 Islands of the Southern Sea. You can stay on those ships, eat, and rest on them. However, the price will make you feel the pinch. "
When Shui Zhi heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he asked in confusion, "If the people of the Southern Sea's 72 Isles brought their ships here, then why didn't they send their disciples to the trenches to catch sea beasts? Why did they allow Rogue Cultivators to come here and catch sea beasts? "
"It's impossible for them to seal off the trench. This is because it's not just Rogue Cultivators who come here to catch sea beasts, there are also disciples from other sects. They can't afford to offend these sects."
"But they already have a lot of ships here. Why didn't they manage this place? Why did they let it be so chaotic? What's in it for them? "
In short, this trench can be regarded as an important source of income for the 72 Islands of the South Sea. I heard that every few years, the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea would have a martial arts competition, and the winners of the competition would be able to operate the ships here. Therefore, every time they compete, they are very serious. However, this rumor has never been confirmed. The people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea have always denied this matter, so no one knows whether the rumor is true or false. "
"That is to say, the chaos here is actually deliberately caused by the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea. They want to use this chaos to profit from it? The other sects don't care about them? "
"How can they calculate it? This is the 72 Islands of the South Sea. They can do whatever they want. Just like now, I want to increase the tax in the free trade zone. What can those sects do? Directly start a war with our Sea Exploring Sect? If they don't want to start a war, first, pay the money, and second, leave. It's that simple. "
"How much does it cost to stay on those ships for a night?"
"At least one hundred second-grade crystal stones. Of course, that includes food. But the food is like pig's feed. No one likes it. If you want to eat something else, you have to pay extra."
"So much? Can those Rogue Cultivators afford it? "
"Do you see those boats? These boats are made by rogue cultivators. They provide shelter and food, and the price is very cheap. However, your safety isn't guaranteed. You might get killed in the middle of the night and be thrown into the sea to feed the fishes. Additionally, this dark trench is very big and has a lot of good things. The cultivators who make a living here are doing well, even better than the rogue cultivators in the Sword Spirit Realm. This is because the income here is high. Naturally, fights are unavoidable here. It's already good if one in ten rogue cultivators can survive here. The death rate here is much higher than other places. "
"Young Master, have you been to the Dark Trench before? You seem to be very familiar with the Gloomy Oceanic Trench? "
"No, but don't forget that our Sea Exploring Sect and the 72 Islands of the South Sea are allies. But we can also become enemies. How can we not collect some information about the 72 Islands of the South Sea? It's because we collected information about the 72 Islands of the South Sea that we know that the map sold by the 72 Islands of the South Sea is problematic. That's why we came to the South Sea this time. "
"So that's how it is. I thought Young Master was just guessing that there was a problem with the 72 Islands of the South Sea. It turns out that you have already collected information. I didn't expect the people of the 72 Islands of the South Sea to be so cunning."
"This is normal. It's impossible for our Sea Exploring Sect to reveal all our cards. When the 72 Islands of the South Sea were first established, they were dealt with by those big sects. Later, under the pressure of those big sects, they withstood the attacks of those big sects and finally established the 72 Islands of the South Sea. How can they not learn to hold back? So it's reasonable for them to make some half-real and half-fake maps. There's nothing strange about it."
"The South Sea is really big. Young Master, if we draw the map of the South Sea, I'm afraid it will take a long time. It'll be great when this place becomes our territory. "
"Soon. Don't worry. This place will be ours sooner or later. Sooner or later, the entire Sword Spirit Boundary will be ours."
