Even though Zhang Lisheng had tried his best to cover up the traces of the rise of the Wizard Li very cautiously, judging from the questions asked by Lumoluki a few days ago, this matter had already attracted the attention of the mysterious and powerful native tribe of the Nutao Sea.
The unknown was the most terrifying. The vigilance of the enemy, who only left behind descriptions such as' the land blessed by the gods' and 'unparalleled richness and power' in the legends and the rest were just a cloud of fog, made the young man feel very uneasy. Not only that, but the many wealthy merchants and aristocrats of the Sea Haines City who maintained close contact with them might also make him secretly worried.
Even though the countries of the Green Leaf Mainland were in conflict with each other, the emergence of a very aggressive native tribe that was about to unify the entire Hellfire Archipelago was enough to attract all the firepower.
Adding on to the fact that even if he returned to Earth immediately, Zhang Lisheng did not have the ability to fight against Atlantis at this moment. Other than watching from the sidelines, there was little that he could do.
Many thoughts flashed across his mind. The young man became silent for a while and finally made up his mind with great difficulty. "Since you don't understand the situation, I'd better stay in the Shrimp World No. 2, Madam Someril."
"What did you say? Stay here?" Pocky, who had been silent all this while, exclaimed in shock. Fortunately, this well-dressed FBI agent still remembered to lower his voice.
"Yes, stay here." Zhang Lisheng had already made his decision, so his attitude became firm. "No one is safe in this chaotic situation. I think it's a smart move to return to Earth after the situation has stabilized.
In fact, not only do I not plan to go back, but I also want to persuade all of you to stay here together. "
"No one is safe in this chaotic situation …" Allison repeated the young man's words and hesitated for a moment before sighing softly. "You're right, Lisheng, but we're different from you. We're federal employees …"
The words of the black female officer made everyone fall into silence. A few seconds later, the young man suddenly raised his glass and said, "In that case, let me toast to you and your sense of responsibility, Allison."
When Zhang Lisheng was toasting, Yaj, who was dancing gracefully on the splendid dance floor of the hall, spun her body gracefully while secretly looking at the young man's tall and straight back from time to time. She whispered in confusion, "Camano, that mysterious Sir Zhang Lisheng is toasting and celebrating with his equally mysterious companion.
A group of powerful spellcasters, warriors, and scholars from a foreign continent. What are they up to exactly? Is their background really so simple? "
Looking at the dazzling beauty of his dance partner in his arms under the dazzling firelight, the city defense officer, who was wearing a military uniform that was different from the others, had a resolute and strong square face, and a sturdy chest that seemed to be bursting out of his reasonable shirt, replied reluctantly, "Don't worry, Yaj. No matter what they are plotting, I will never allow anyone to harm you … No, to harm the Sea Haines City.
Don't let your imagination run wild, okay? Even if it's just for tonight, dance with me. You're leaving tomorrow. "
"Oh, I'm sorry, Camano. I didn't mean to," the woman apologized.
"I won't forgive you unless you dance with me for the next dance as well," The city defense officer hesitated for a while and gradually tightened his grip on his dance partner's waist as he said nervously.
Feeling Camano's enthusiasm for the first time, Yaj's heartbeat accelerated and her gaze gradually became gentle. "Of course, Camano! I'm willing to keep dancing with you tonight …" In the beautiful music, the young man and woman, who could feel a strange sweetness growing in their hearts at the same time, began to dance even more gracefully.
The party only ended late at night. Early the next morning, thousands of sails surged in the second-ranked seaport of the Green Leaf Mainland outside the Sea Haines City. With more than 240 cargo ships of the Golden Velvet Flower Trading as the backbone, more than 500 ships slowly left the hill, braving the wind and waves. Under the rising sun, they lined up in a long queue and sailed to the vast sea.
For this voyage, Zhang Lisheng still obtained a good cabin in the flagship of the fleet. After becoming a god and mastering the manipulation of water, he could still imprint the route of the merchant ship in his heart without having to deliberately memorize it. Adding on to the fact that the voyage had been calm, the journey was unusually leisurely.
In a blink of an eye, two months had passed. At noon this day, when the young man was fishing with a sea hook in boredom at the bow of the ship, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the sea.
From a cloudless sky, it suddenly became so dark that one could not even see one's own fingers. Just when Zhang Lisheng was feeling dumbfounded, he heard the captain's hoarse shout resonating in the fog, "We've encountered the fog beast! Lower the sail! Drop the anchor …" Then, it was followed by the sound of the sail being lowered and the anchor falling into the sea.
The huge wooden ship stopped steadily in the middle of the ocean. After listening nervously for a while and seeing that there was no sound of the ship crashing, the flagship captain breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Well done! This time, we've encountered the fog beast three days earlier than before. This is rare indeed. It's fortunate that we didn't get distracted along the way.
Miss Yaj has decided that the boatswain will be rewarded with 100 gold coins, the sailors who lower the sail and drop the anchor will be rewarded with 30 gold coins, and the other crew members will be rewarded with 10 gold coins. "
Everyone would naturally be rewarded, causing Jia Banshan to cheer. In the midst of this cheer, a bright, soft orange light suddenly flashed and illuminated one-fifth of the deck.
At this time, everyone could not help but look towards the source of the light. They saw Yaj standing in the fog with a shining, black-armored giant firefly-like sea beast with fins in her arms. She looked like a goddess being illuminated by the light.
This dream-like scenery was intoxicating. However, when the others were staring at Yaj in an intoxicated manner, Zhang Lisheng was staring at the sea beast in the woman's arms with a dumbfounded expression.
What made him dumbfounded was not the strange appearance of the strange sea beast. The young man had seen creatures that were a hundred times stranger than this before, but the three Hellfire words' Mist Breaker 'on its shell.
With his eyesight that was unimaginable to ordinary people, Zhang Lisheng dared to conclude that the words were not engraved but the natural lines on the beast's armor. As an outstanding biologist, he naturally knew what this meant.
"Yaj, can you show me the 'light source' in your arms?" When Yaj walked to the bow of the ship with the sea beast in her arms, Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and asked in a voice filled with desire.
"Can you see how extraordinary this sea beast is?" The woman hesitated for a while and carefully handed the light source in her arms to the young man with both hands. "Be careful, this is a primitive Mist Breaker. Its value is immeasurable."
"I'll be careful, Yaj. I'll be careful …" Zhang Lisheng murmured as he took the sea beast and rubbed the shell with his hand. Finally, he was 100% sure that the words on it were completely formed naturally. He could not help but blurt out, "What the hell? This is just a 'synthetic creature' in the laboratory …"
"A 'synthetic creature' in the laboratory?" Yaj, who had never seen the young man lose his composure like this, smiled. "I don't understand what you're talking about, Lisheng.
However, it's said that all of the 'primitive animals' in the Nutao Sea were personally created by the god who ruled the Hellfire Archipelago tens of thousands of years ago. The biggest ones were even as big as mountains and islands.
Unfortunately, the bigger the animal, the earlier it died. Some of them had even become a fossilized island that people could live on. Right now, only a few tiny ones are still alive.
Alright, give me the Mist Breaker. Time is precious, the fleet still needs to continue sailing. "
The longer the sea beast stayed in Zhang Lisheng's hands, the more he could faintly feel that the 'light source' in his hands had some kind of connection with him. However, this was not the time to explore it. The young man could only reluctantly hand the sea beast back to Yaj and let the woman tie it with the chain on the bow before throwing it into the sea.
After it fell into the water, the light on the sea beast's body expanded by two to three times as it slowly swam forward while floating and sinking.
Following its figure, the merchant fleet's flagship raised its sails and a dazzling light lit up on the watchtower, leading the fleet to continue sailing in the thick fog.
In the thick fog that blotted out the sky, only day and night could be distinguished. Even Zhang Lisheng's eyesight could not penetrate the fog, but the light emitted by the Mist Breaker in the sea was still clearly visible, guiding the fleet to sail day after day.
After a whole week, they finally broke through the fog and came to the offshore of a huge island.
The dissipation of the fog was as unexpected as its arrival. When the giant island suddenly appeared in front of the sailors, it naturally elicited the most enthusiastic cheers.
"We're here! We're here! Smooth sailing! Haha! Smooth sailing …"
"Nado tribe! I, Harry, am here again! Whether it's gems, hides, or woods, take them all out! Take them all out …"
"Is this the Nutao Sea? It's so spectacular! T-This is not an island at all! It's basically a continent …" The taut nerves of the few months of sea journey finally relaxed in an instant. Even the most serious navigator had a comfortable smile on his face.
Awakened by the commotion on the deck, Zhang Lisheng, who was in the cabin dissecting a three-feet-long scaleless white fish that had just been caught from the sea of fog with a sharp table knife, strode out of the cabin.
Under the bright sun, when the giant island that seemed to stretch infinitely on both sides of the sea all the way to the horizon entered his sight, he could not help but feel a surge of emotions.
Strolling to the bow of the ship, the young man looked at the island and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This is the Nutao Sea, right, Yaj?"
"Yes." The woman's cheeks were also flushed with excitement. She pointed to the few reef islands in front of her and said, "Do you see those five reef islands? Legend has it that they're the fossils of the primitive giant beasts created by the god who ruled the Hellfire Archipelago in ancient times. Right now, they're one of the coordinates leading to the Rovan Island, one of the three islands in the Nutao Sea.
This evening, we'll be able to dock at the harbor of the Nado tribe, one of the most powerful tribes in the Rovan Island. By that time, you'll be able to see the strange civilization of the Hellfire tribesmen that is not inferior to the mainland … "
Yaj had never told Zhang Lisheng about these important information before, but at this time, the young man's attention was not on what she said at all. Looking past the woman, the Wizard Li's god stared at the few reefs in the distant sea.
