Douluo's Gourd

Chapter 640 Molten Emperor

The weather is clear and clear, today is a good day for sailing.

The calm wind and waves allowed the two people who were going out to sea for the first time to quickly adapt to life on the sea. They looked so energetic that it was impossible to tell that they had changed their environment.

This made old Hodi, who had been worried that they might suffer from severe seasickness, feel relieved.

The Izumo was sailing steadily on the sea.

Thanks to the hard work of the sailors, a sunshade was quickly erected on the bow deck. Nitia lay leisurely on a folding chair, reading a novel in her hand.

The sea breeze blew the hollow lace on the side of the girl's hat and floated in the wind.

It's a rare opportunity to slack off without having to practice, so I'll take this opportunity to catch up on the chapters I haven't finished reading.

Otherwise, when the little madman is free, he will have to supervise her practice again.

Inside the cab.

Old Xing looked at the offshore nautical chart hanging on the wall, wondering what he was thinking.

Old Hodi took the helm and headed in the direction specified by the nautical chart.

Wang Xiaofeng held a thick book, like a curious baby, pointing to the knowledge in the book and asked Old Huodi: "Mr. Huodi, the number of soul beasts in the sea is tens of millions times that of soul beasts on land. If you encounter a thousand-year-old soul beast, it will be a disaster for the fishing boat. So how do you avoid danger?"

Huo Di said seriously, "Soul beasts rarely attack ships. Only a small number of extremely violent soul beasts will actively attack ships. But don't worry, we are well prepared for such a situation. Before we set off, we have applied a drug specially used to drive away soul beasts on the hull. Soul beasts hate this smell and generally won't come close."

"These bad-tempered soul beasts are all powerful sea soul beasts. They all have their own territory. Under normal circumstances, they will not take the initiative to leave their territory."

Huodi pointed to the sea chart hanging on the wall and said, "As long as we don't actively intrude into their territory and provoke them, going out to sea is not as dangerous as you think."

"Drug to drive away sea soul beasts?"

Huodi nodded. "Yes, the blessing potion sold by the Sea God Church can last for three days after one application. I heard that there are potions with stronger effects and longer effects, but they are much more expensive and can only be afforded by large merchant ships sailing on the ocean."

Wang Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows. It sounded like that, but it didn’t make sense at all.

There is no problem using drugs to drive away the pests in small streams and rivers on land. The water flows slowly and the river channels are small, so the drugs can be effective.

But how could this be possible in the sea? It would be diluted in minutes. What is applied is not high-concentration nuclear waste water that can pollute a large area of ​​sea.

In his perception, when the fishing boat passed by, the nearby underwater fish did not move at all, and there were even a few small sharks following the stern of the boat.

Therefore, the reason why old Hodi could live to such an old age was not because of the so-called animal repellent medicine, but because of the distribution map of sea soul beasts and the cautious style of doing things that he maintained for most of his life.

Wang Xiaofeng sees through it but doesn't say it out loud.

The Poseidon Cult has been operating in the coastal city for thousands of years, and its power is similar to that of the Spirit Hall, but it is not as strong as the Spirit Hall.

All sea soul masters believe in Poseidon, and Poseidon has a great influence among the people. Saying bad things to others in front of them at this time is just deliberately looking for trouble.

However, Wang Xiaofeng quickly came up with a question for this potion with curious ingredients. "If I cover my body with a potion that the sea soul beast hates, and then provoke it, will it swallow me in disgust, or give up and leave?"

"I don't know about that. I'm just a fisherman."

This strange question made old Hodi sweat profusely.

I don’t know what this young man is thinking about. How can a normal person have such weird thoughts?

Wang Xiaofeng did not hesitate to ask many questions. Among these strange questions, there were occasionally some questions related to the local marine climate, ocean currents, monsoons, etc.

The strange questions almost made old Hodi's brain freeze, but for such simple questions, old Hodi answered without thinking.

Without anyone noticing, Wang Xiaofeng's knowledge of navigation was growing rapidly. Compared with a real navigator, the only thing he lacked was some practical experience.

When living at sea, seafood is a must for lunch, so Hodi ordered the sailors to lower the fishing nets on the boat.

We cast the net temporarily and pulled it up after half an hour. There were only a dozen crabs in the net, and a few mackerels and salmon here and there, but it was enough for lunch for several people.

Both crabs and fish are steamed, with only a little soy sauce added when they are out of the steamer. The seafood porridge is cooked with broken crab claws and legs, but the food tastes very fresh and sweet, and you can really enjoy the original flavor of the ingredients.

Such fresh and sweet seafood is rarely found in inland areas, which made Wang Xiaofeng and Nitia very excited.

This happy mood lasted until the afternoon.

As the temperature rose, wind and waves began to rise, and the Izumo also swayed with the wind and waves.

Nitia could no longer maintain her ladylike image and returned to her room to rest with a pale face.

Only Wang Xiaofeng, with a normal expression, pulled Lao Xing to the corner and chatted loudly.

This made old Hodi, who was driving the boat silently, look at him thoughtfully.

The place where Lao Xing fell into the water was not far from the port. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the nearby sea.

The water in the entire sea area is black, clearly distinguished from the deep blue water.

Such a special scene made Wang Xiaofeng's eyes light up, but before he could give an order, two sailors rushed into the cockpit.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Old Hodi, how did we get to the Ironclad Molten Emperor's territory? Turn around quickly. This beast has a bad temper. If you get too close, it will attack you."

While the sailor was speaking, Hodi had already turned the rudder and controlled the boat to turn around.

The violent shaking of the ship forced everyone to grab the nearest objects to steady themselves.

Wang Xiaofeng asked: "Iron Armor Molten Fire Emperor, what kind of soul beast is that?"

"The Iron-Armored Molten Fire Emperor is a sea crab that looks like a crown. It is huge, and its shell is as black as pure iron. Because its temperament is as capricious as that of an emperor, the sea soul masters call it the Iron-Armored Molten Fire Emperor."

Another sailor added: "The Sea God Cult has just listed it as an extremely dangerous sea soul beast. This beast can spit out magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees, which can easily melt even iron ships. At least a dozen ships have sunk in its hands in the past two years."

The sailor laughed and scolded: "Old Hodi, why did you bring the boat here? Are you so old and blurry that you even got the direction wrong?"

Old Hodi's face froze and he muttered something incoherent.

I cursed myself for being so careless.

This trip was indeed a bit rushed, with only a few hours of preparation time, but this is not an excuse to forget to go to the Fishermen's Association to update the nautical charts and collect recent intelligence.

It's totally wrong to make such a mistake.

Wang Xiaofeng glanced at Old Huodi, who looked unhappy, and calmly turned the topic to himself. He bowed to the two sailors and said, "Thank you for your reminder, otherwise we would have rushed into this dark sea."

"A verbal thank you is not sincere enough. How about this? When we return to shore, I will double the salary we agreed on before?"

"The boss is so generous." The two sailors thanked him happily and worked even harder.

After the ship was far away from the black sea and only a black line could be seen in the distance, Wang Xiaofeng ordered the sailors to drop anchor.

"Let's stop here. I think we can get some inspiration. We can stay here overnight and return early tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other and were obviously relieved. Fortunately, this young nobleman listened to others' advice and was not the kind of noble who thought he was stubborn and would drag them to death for some inexplicable things.

At night, several people take turns on duty.

Wang Xiaofeng, who was supposed to be writing a manuscript in the room, was now standing on the black sea three miles away from the Izumo.

Wang Xiaofeng raised his right hand that was touching the water, retracted his outward mental power, opened his eyes, and what came into his sight was Nitia, who was standing beside him to protect him and counting the stars out of boredom.

When Nitia saw him standing up, she quickly asked, "How is it?"

The sea was so dark at night that nothing could be seen. It was very torturous to stay in such a place. She could no longer bear it.

Wang Xiaofeng nodded in expectation, "I didn't find the bell turtle, but I found the fire crab."

"Using our current position as the anchor point, it is about 7 nautical miles northeast of us, 200 meters underwater. I have left a spiritual mark on it."

"I was originally planning to use it to experiment with a new technique for splitting soul fragments to create soul rings, but I didn't expect it to already have the souls of hundreds of people in its hands. Now there's no need to keep it alive."

"We will send them back tomorrow morning, and then come back to get my sixth spirit ring."

Nitia blinked, "So confident? This is a highly dangerous sea soul beast."

The extremely dangerous sea soul beasts of the Poseidon Cult are not randomly arranged, they have all passed the combat power certification.

For every soul beast that makes it onto the list of extremely dangerous sea soul beasts, the worst record is annihilating a crusade team led by a Soul Douluo-level sea soul master.

Therefore, the Iron-Armored Molten Fire Emperor they are going to face next has a cultivation period of at least 70,000 years. Even if we make an exaggerated guess, it is very close to or may have reached 100,000 years.

A golden light flashed in Wang Xiaofeng's eyes, "It doesn't matter. On the sea where water element is most abundant, I am the emperor."
