Jiang Wang chose the detour route because it was too far away from the floating island, so it was not safe at all. But to Jiang Wang, Granny Bizhu was more dangerous than the Sea Clan.
Of course, the Sea Clan was much more powerful, but they did not know who Jiang Wang was. Unless they bumped into him, they would not deliberately target him.
He wanted to familiarize himself with this place, so it was best to make arrangements in advance to gain the geographical advantage.
Just like when he chose to wait for Hai Zongming at the Camel Peak Mountain to weaken the power of his Water Dao Technique to the greatest extent.
He was sure that Granny Bizhu would wait for him in the inner circle, and he would wait for Granny Bizhu outside.
This was a gamble.
If Granny Bizhu was patient enough, she would stay near the floating island and not move. Jiang Wang, who spent more energy on waiting instead of hunting the Sea Clan, would not be able to complete his cleansing in advance. He would have to go to the floating island to resupply.
In that case, Granny Bizhu would have the geographical advantage.
Jiang Wang decided to take this gamble.
It was stupid to pin victory on luck, but he was not betting on luck. He was betting on his own judgment of Granny Bizhu.
He could choose not to gamble and directly hunt the Sea Clan to complete his cleansing as soon as possible. But he did not know when Granny Bizhu would catch up. In a sudden battle, the most important test was the real combat power of both sides. Jiang Wang was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
In order to win, in order to win as soon as possible, he had to wait.
It was only after "passing by" the fifth boulder that Jiang Wang realized that the floating boulders in the maze world were not fixed in place. In order to confirm this discovery, he went back the way he came. The distance between two boulders was indeed shortened, and their positions were slanted.
The boulders moved extremely slowly, and because of the lack of a reference, it was difficult to detect.
The key point of this discovery was that the idea of using the boulders as a beacon to establish a map memory failed. Of course, something that could not be fixed could not become a beacon.
What was more unfortunate was that Jiang Wang had originally planned to make special arrangements on a few boulders to lure Granny Bizhu over, but now it was obvious that it would not work. By the time he painstakingly lured Granny Bizhu over, the boulders would probably leave together with his arrangements.
Fortunately, he had a guide.
Otherwise, not to mention ambushing Granny Bizhu, it would be difficult for her not to get lost.
This was the eighth black spot that Jiang Wang had encountered. Although the boulder could move, Jiang Wang still subconsciously recorded some information. It might not be useful, but it was never a bad thing to be prepared.
When the black dot gradually appeared in his field of vision, Jiang Wang realized that it was not a boulder, but a fish.
It was a huge fish that was about thirty feet long and twenty feet tall. It had black scales and crisscrossing sharp teeth. It was swimming in the air. Apparently, it had seen Jiang Wang and suddenly sped up!
This was the first sea beast that Jiang Wang encountered in the Bewildering World, which greatly surprised him.
It wasn't because this sea beast was too strong, but because … it was too weak.
It was much weaker than the eight-clawed sea beast that Jiang Wang had killed near Youxia Island.
The giant black fish slammed into him and opened its mouth, its sharp teeth intersecting. An intense stench rushed towards him.
Jiang Wang drew his sword!
An extremely elegant sword appeared in the air.
Before the giant black fish approached Jiang Wang, its body was cut in half from the middle. Driven by inertia, it flew away from Jiang Wang.
Organs, blood, and body parts.
They flew away.
It was really too weak. At most, it only had the combat power of a Heavenly Cycle Realm cultivator.
Was this a cub of a sea beast, or was it the weakest kind of sea beast?
Before this, Jiang Wang's concept of the sea beast's strength was based on the eight-clawed sea beast. He thought that it would at least have the combat power of an Inner Mansion Realm cultivator.
However, the sea beast he encountered in the Bewildering World was completely different from what he had imagined.
Although the eight-clawed sea beast he encountered on Youxia Island was crazy and out of control, he could still feel its influence on his elemental energy and instinctively control it to release spells.
On the other hand, the sea beast in front of him only had pure physical strength, and no intelligence to speak of.
It gave him the feeling that it was closer to a Ferocious Beast, but not as bloodthirsty and crazy. In other words, in terms of physical strength, it was similar to a Ferocious Beast. In terms of intelligence, it was like an ordinary beast.
The inertia exerted by the giant fish's last dash disappeared. Its body, organs, and blood instantly scattered in all directions. Some floated up, some fell down, some floated to the left, some moved to the right …
It looked like it had been dismembered by five horses. The smell of blood immediately spread.
Jiang Wang immediately flew away.
After flying for a long distance, he looked back and found that there were thirteen black spots in the distance!
It couldn't be a floating boulder.
After that, Jiang Wang encountered two more sea beasts. He tested them again and found that these sea beasts were indeed weaker. The giant black fish was not an isolated case.
This was very reasonable. There were strong and weak races in every race. When human cultivators tamed sea beasts, they would definitely choose the stronger ones to capture.
However, Jiang Wang faintly felt that this might not be the case.
This place was very far from the floating island. It was completely wild. The sea beasts' combat power should be at an average level. They should not be this weak … unless this was the common level of combat power among sea beasts. Truly powerful sea beasts were very rare.
Something unexpected happened when he encountered the fourth sea beast. At this time, he had already passed by ten boulders.
It was a frog-like sea beast. It had a big belly, a bulging face, green skin, red eyes, and a pair of buffalo horns on its head. With a kick of its hind legs, it leaped high into the air, pressing down on him like a small mountain.
This sea beast was stronger than the three he encountered before. It should have the combat power of a Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator. It was certainly stronger than an ordinary Heaven Ascension Realm cultivator, but it was no match for a Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator.
However, the most important thing was that a rattan chair was hanging between the two horns of this frog-like sea beast.
A tall and sturdy figure was sitting on the rattan chair.
Two big axes were placed under his feet, one on each side of his hands.
A member of the sea race!
Only then did Jiang Wang realize that he had encountered the first member of the sea race since entering the bewildering world.
He had truly come into contact with the sea race.
At the same time he saw the other party, the figure had already leaped into the air. He flew higher and faster than the frog-like sea beast, raising his big axes to chop it down!
He had a pair of blue eyes and a bald head. He was clad in plate armor, and his arms, which held the axes, were muscular.
Before his figure landed, the whistling sound of wind breaking had already closed in on him.
There was no communication.
There was no need for communication between humans and members of the sea race when they met in the wilderness.
However, Jiang Wang could observe him so clearly in the blink of an eye and even have the time to consider his axe techniques. Naturally, it was because … Jiang Wang was stronger than him!
Clang!
With a sweep of his sword, sparks flew.
The tall and sturdy member of the sea race borrowed the strength of the frog-like sea beast and the momentum of his jump, but he was still easily slashed back by the sword!
Obvious gaps had already appeared on the blades of the two big axes.
This member of the sea race was obviously not stupid. After one strike, he realized that he was no match for Jiang Wang. He immediately raised his axes, and by the time he came down again, they had already turned into giant pincers!
In front of Jiang Wang, a giant crab-shaped sea beast appeared. Its shell was like black iron, and its pincers were raised high like giant axes. Its aura was more than doubled!
The Heaven Ascension Realm frog-like sea beast had originally wanted to bite Jiang Wang. However, it paused on the spot, intimidated by the former's aura.
A thought flashed through Jiang Wang's mind!
This was the kind of sea beast he had encountered on the Summer Island!
The sea race and the water race were close relatives of the same origin, but there was already a fundamental difference between them!
Could it be that … the tamed guardian sea beasts on the islands near the sea were actually the true forms of the sea race?
…
