Zhao Hai's purpose in coming to the South Sea was to see if the people of the 72 Islands really had a secret base in the South Sea. If they did, then he would have to be more careful when dealing with the 72 Islands in the future.
Zhao Hai's current location had always been Zhao Hai's suspicions. Zhao Hai really wanted to know what was in this sea. Could it be like what the people of the 72 Islands said, that there were sea beasts everywhere in this sea that would attack people?
Zhao Hai was very clear that for the other people, exploring the sea might be very dangerous. This was because the other six didn't know much about the sea. But for the people of the 72 Islands, it might be different. Zhao Hai was very clear about this. For the other people, exploring the sea might be very dangerous. This was because the other six didn't know much about it.
The 72 Isles of the South Sea had one thing that the other sects didn't have, and that was large sea beasts. These large sea beasts were raised by the 72 Isles of the South Sea, and they were capable of fighting against large artifacts. Naturally, their strength was very formidable. If the 72 Isles of the South Sea really wanted to explore the ocean, then they would certainly be able to control more than this. Not to mention the small island where the transaction took place, it was impossible for the 72 Isles of the South Sea to not be able to control it. This made Zhao Hai even more curious.
Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi flew forward for a day and didn't encounter any sea beasts. However, Zhao Hai wasn't happy at all. Not encountering any sea beasts wasn't a good thing. This meant that his guess wasn't correct. How could Zhao Hai be happy about this?
When night came, Zhao Hai dropped the iron bowl from the sky to the sea. At this time, the iron bowl had become bigger. It was enough for Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi to live inside.
The two casually ate some food. Then Zhao Hai closed his eyes and meditated while chanting scriptures. This was a habit that he maintained in the Iron Buddha Temple. Although he went to the Iron Buddha Temple to become a monk for another purpose, chanting scriptures was still very useful. While chanting scriptures, he could accumulate some Buddhist energy. And this Buddhist energy was very effective in restraining evil things.
Shui Zhi also sat on the side and meditated. A place rich in water element was very good for his cultivation. Naturally, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Time passed by little by little. After Zhao Hai finished chanting, he went straight to sleep. But in the middle of the night, he woke up. Then he patted Zhao Hai's head, waking Shui Zhi up. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, what happened?"
Zhao Hai replied, "A sea beast is coming. We need to be careful. This sea beast's body is very big, so its fighting strength should be very strong. Pay attention to it." After he said that, Zhao Hai made a hand seal. The iron bowl slowly flew up. Because its flying speed wasn't very fast, it didn't make any sound.
But when the iron bowl flew up, a huge shadow rushed out of the sea. This huge shadow went straight towards Zhao Hai's iron bowl. The shadow opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. It looked very terrifying.
Zhao Hai's mind moved, making the iron bowl move to the side, avoiding the bite of the sea beast. But at this time, the sea beast's tail suddenly swept towards the iron bowl.
The tail carried the sound of wind, and one could tell that it was very powerful. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't let it sweep away. So he lifted the iron bowl up, avoiding the tail. Then the iron bowl flew up again. In the blink of an eye, it was already 300 meters in the air. But at this time, the shadow rushed out from the sea.
When the shadow attacked Zhao Hai, Zhao Hai was able to see its true form. It was a shark-like beast. It had a black back and a white belly. It was more than 30 meters long, had a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and had a powerful tail. This beast's strength was absolutely incomparable.
However, Zhao Hai didn't expect this shark to be able to fly. When it flew in the air, it looked like it was swimming in water. It was very flexible, and there wasn't anything strange about it. This made Zhao Hai surprised. He looked at the shark that was chasing after them. His eyes flashed. Then he commanded the iron bowl to retreat. Soon, the iron bowl's speed increased, and in the blink of an eye, it left the sea.
Shui Zhi looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression, then he said, "Young Master, why are we leaving? That beast isn't very strong. Why don't we just kill it? "
Zhao Hai replied, "There are more beasts coming. We must leave. We can't stay here. Otherwise, we'll be besieged by those beasts."
Shui Zhi stared, then he looked at the shark that was chasing them and said, "I didn't think that there would be so many beasts here. We just arrived here and they're already here. I really didn't think that they'd come."
Zhao Hai looked at the shark and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many beasts here. It seems like the people from the Southern Sea's Seventy-two Fang were right. This isn't a place that we can come to."
After saying that, the iron bowl flew even faster. However, the shark chased them for a full five kilometers before entering the sea again. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Shui Zhi couldn't help but coldly snort and said, "If there weren't other beasts coming, I would've killed that shark. It's too annoying, it actually dared to chase us."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he said, "There will be an opportunity, you can rest assured." However, Zhao Hai didn't fall back just because the shark left. Instead, he continued to fly forward. After dawn, they finally returned to the island. Then they stayed in the Spirit Crab Island's inn.
After resting for a day, Zhao Hai called Shui Zhi to his room in the evening. After Shui Zhi finished brewing tea, Zhao Hai had Shui Zhi sit down. Then he looked at Shui Zhi and said, "Shui Zhi, what do you think about yesterday's matter?"
When Shui Zhi heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, we were only attacked by sharks yesterday. It's nothing. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai looked at Shui Zhi and smiled faintly, "Shui Zhi, you're thinking too little. Yesterday, we were attacked by sharks, it wasn't an accident. It seems like we fell into the sea at night and attracted the attention of the sharks. Then the sharks attacked us. But don't you think that it's too much of a coincidence? The fact that the shark can fly in the sky means that it isn't an ordinary shark. In other words, if it discovered us during the day, it would be possible for it to attack us. However, we didn't encounter any sea beasts during the day. On the contrary, at night, all the sea beasts seemed to come out and attack us. This is definitely abnormal. Sea beasts aren't like the beasts on land. They don't care whether it's day or night, they will come out to hunt for food. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," That's not right.
When Shui Zhi heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. He was very smart, so he immediately understood what Zhao Hai meant. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, what do you mean?"
Zhao Hai replied, "Those sea beasts were controlled by someone. They didn't want us to get close to the sea."
Shui Zhi's expression changed, then he said, "Who is it? Who is controlling those sea beasts? The people of the 72 Islands? Why are they doing this? "
"Because there's a secret realm that they must keep secret. They can't let others know about it. Therefore, they commanded the sea beasts to attack everyone who goes to the sea. Then they spread all kinds of rumors, saying that there are countless sea beasts in the sea. It's very dangerous, so no one should go there. And those sea beasts are kept by the people of the 72 Islands. In any case, they raise sea beasts in the sea, so nobody knows if they're wild or raised."
"Young Master, what should we do now? Leave? "
"Leave? Are you willing to do that? I'm now even more curious. I really want to know what's there that makes the people of the 72 Islands act like this. "
"But Young Master, we can't pass through the sea. If we force our way through, we'll certainly attract the attention of the 72 Islands. If we fly in the sky, they'll also notice us. If we go in the water, they'll notice us. After all, the water is the territory of those sea beasts."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We've only been gone for a day and they already sent sea beasts to attack us. If we just fly in the sky, then they would certainly send their sea beasts to deal with us. As for the water, it's not impossible. They wouldn't think that someone would go in the water. If we go in the water, then maybe it would be safer than going in the sky." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "But if we go in the water, then we might be able to get there safely."
"Young Master, are we really going to go in the water?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "It's already late, it's a good time to act. In a while, we'll go down to eat something and let people see that we're still in the store. After that, we'll go back to our room. Remember, this time you can't go with us. We need to leave someone here to make them think that we're still here. If I'm going there myself, then you can just tell them that I'm in seclusion. If I'm not wrong, then the hotels on this island are the eyes and ears of the 72 Islands. If they find out that someone is going there, then they'll inform the people there to be careful. If we go together, then they'll immediately suspect us."
"No, Young Master, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I have to go with you."
"No, if you go with me, then you'll immediately be discovered by the people in the store. At that time, it'll be even more dangerous. Also, with my strength, if I want to leave, then the 72 Islands won't be able to stop me. You can rest assured and wait here."
Shui Zhi saw that he couldn't persuade Zhao Hai, so he could only say, "Alright, Young Master, you have to be careful."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. But if I want to go into seclusion, then I need to find a reason. Right, we'll go out in a while and buy some beasts and herbs. Then I'll go into seclusion and buy some rare things. This way, they'll think that I'm researching something and won't be suspicious."
Shui Zhi looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, you mean you're afraid of Zhang Shuwei?"
"One must always be on guard against people!"
