In the early morning, the rain and fog were misty, and a layer of white misty rain floated on the island, hiding the distant peaks and the mast of the ship.
Wu Gen walked along the coast, looking for the ship carrying slaves. Although the young man seeking medicine could not be saved at the moment, if there was an opportunity at sea, Wu Gen would not hesitate to lend a hand.
Jumping lightly on the rocks on the shore, the cool water vapor washed over his body, making Wu Gen feel lighter.
In fact, for Wu Gen, the life of dealing with a bunch of pirates and bandits all day long was actually a happy life, away from the intrigues, intrigues, and knives in Fuli City.
Isn't it just a fight? Just fight, it's simple, direct, and refreshing. These days, there are more and more smiles on Wu Gen's face, and even Xiaoba, a sensitive guy, likes to lie on his body and play more and more.
"Xiao Ba, hurry up. If you don't run fast, you won't be able to eat." Wu Gen laughed and shouted to Xiao Ba, who was moving quickly in the water.
While running, a person appeared in the mist ahead, standing motionless on the rocks.
Wu Gen slowed down his pace and walked over slowly, bowing his hands and saying, "Good morning, Clan Yu." This man was Yu Feng's father, Yu Hai. He had met him in the shark's courtyard that day, but he didn't expect to meet him here.
Last time, Yu Feng had proposed to let the sharks sneak Wu Gen and others ashore when they were approaching Kuntian Continent, but his father Yu Hai had to agree to this.
Yu Feng is a very good-natured boy, sunny and affectionate. Like all young people of this age, he always wants to go out and have some adventures.
However, Yu Feng never mentioned the matter again, and Wu Gen didn't ask about it either. Since he didn't mention it anymore, he must have encountered some difficulty.
Zhuo Ke could move in the water, and together with Xiao Ba, he might be able to pull himself and Yang Zheng to swim ashore secretly. That's why Wu Gen took Xiaoba early in the morning to familiarize himself with water and increase his physical strength.
When he suddenly met Yu Hai today, Wu Gen only stepped forward to say hello out of politeness and did not want to have more communication with him.
"Wu Gen, right?" Yu Hai looked complicated and suddenly said, "Can we talk about it?"
Wu Gen's brows twitched and his heart sank, "Clan Chief Yu, please tell me. If you have any questions, please tell me."
Yu Hai walked down the reef and walked side by side with Wu Gen, "Feng'er is my only son. He has been doted on since he was a child. He has a simple temper and is not deeply involved in the world. His actions are inevitably a little ridiculous. This time he wants me to send someone to take you. Sneak it to Kuntianzhou to avoid the eyes and ears of the herdsmen, but I didn’t agree.”
Having said this, Yu Hai paused and looked at Wu Gen's reaction before continuing: "We sharks live on the sea all year round, following the waves and living on islands. In fact, we are just a group of wanderers, like water plants. Without roots and support, they wandered around. Because of this, the sharks would attach themselves to various wealthy clans and do dirty work to maintain their livelihood.
The sharks are weak, so they can only carefully deal with various forces and make long bets to avoid being wiped out by everyone. Our family has only established some trust with the shepherds after having been in contact with them for so many years. Doing anything behind their backs is strictly prohibited. "
Yu Hai glanced at Wu Gen with a complicated expression, and then said: "Although I don't know your origins, I can see ambition, blood, and death in your eyes. You two humans, just two Anyone who dares to go to the Kuntianzhou shepherd's territory is not an ordinary person, and the things he does are not ordinary. If he succeeds, he will be powerful, but if he fails, his body will be gone.
I, the shark, just want to do some business in peace and keep my people alive, and I really don’t want to get involved in such a thing. Moreover, as a father, although I also want my offspring to be successful, I also hope that they can grow up smoothly, marry, have children, and continue their incense.
Perhaps to you young people, these words sound like you are stuck in the old ways and are stuck in your ways. But we were once young, we once had passion and courage, and we once looked down upon our elders. However, as we grow older, we have high officials above us, young children below us, and a group of clan members behind us to support us. Don't dare to take risks.
Wu Gen, having said so much, I hope you can understand and understand the difficulties of a clan leader and a father. Because Feng'er was rejected by me these days, Feng'er is unhappy and feels sorry for her friend. Here, I apologize to you on his behalf. "
Wu Gen blinked. Not only was he not annoyed, but he felt a hint of envy in his heart.
As the leader of the clan, Yu Hai has hundreds of people under him, but it is not easy for him to bow his head to a junior who seems to have no power.
Yu Feng, a stinky boy, has such a protective father, no wonder he has such a good temper. This made Wu Gen, who had grown up alone in a bandit village, feel sad and full of jealousy.
"Uncle Yu, it's okay. I understand your difficulties. I have already figured out how to go to Kuntian Continent." Wu Gen bowed to Yu Hai.
Yu Hai thought for a while and took out a letter from his sleeve, "I still have some connections in Kuntianzhou. This is the address of a herdsman friend and my private message. If you can't stay in Kuntianzhou any longer, you might as well Go find him, at least for my sake, he won't treat you as food."
Wu Gen looked at the envelope but did not take it. He chuckled and said, "That's not necessary. Uncle Yu, as you said, since we dare to go to Kuntian Continent, we are prepared to do some big things. We have already saved everything. If you have this future, you will definitely take chances and not dare to move forward boldly. I understand, thank you very much."
As he spoke, Wu Gen gave a salute, walked around Yu Hai and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back with a bright face, "Tell Yu Feng that we are still good friends and come to the boat to play when we have time." After that, he took the Xiaoba left happily.
Looking at Wu Gen's leaving figure, Yu Hai looked sad, let out a long sigh, tore up the letter and threw it lightly, and the shredded paper flew to the sea like a butterfly.
The day of departure finally came. The reason why they waited for so long was that the shepherds were waiting for more ships to arrive and escort them to Kuntian Continent. With the shepherd escorting you, you will have no worries about safety along the way.
On the sea, a huge crab slowly emerged from the water, half the size of the island at Wu Gen's feet. The huge crab's claw flashed with cold light, and there was a faint thunder when it opened and closed.
Groups of armored shepherds stepped onto the crab's back and hoisted a flag embroidered with a curved-horned white bull. Dozens of giant ducks guarded both sides, and there were also people stationed above, echoing the giant crabs.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng stood on the boat, looking at such a magnificent momentum, they couldn't help but feel excited. These giant beasts in the sea were the escort force of the shepherds. This is just a province. If the power of the entire Kuntian Continent gathers together, what a terrifying force it will be.
No wonder the shepherds and the divine religion have been able to maintain a stalemate for so many years without falling. This shows how powerful they are.
"Let's sail." A soldier standing on the back of the crab shook the flag vigorously, and horns sounded all around. The dull but penetrating sound rushed into the distance, startling countless seabirds.
Bang bang bang, three huge bubbles spit out from the giant crab's mouth. The bubbles flew into the air and burst one after another, making a thunderous sound.
There was a huge wave on the sea surface, and the giant crab swam first, and its breath blew up a strong wind on the sea surface.
Behind the giant crab were nearly a thousand ships, large and small, with sails set and sailing out of the port one after another. Like a white torrent, rushing towards the distant sea.
Those giant ducks accompanied the fleet on both sides, like hounds, alerting them to possible dangers from a distance.
When we reached the deep sea, long-lasting whale calls were heard, and huge black shadows appeared under the water. This is the shark's pack whale. Since it cannot enter the port, it is waiting for the arrival of the fleet at sea. These pack-whales carry cargo the size of a ship, firmly attached to the whale's body.
Wu Gen looked at these big dark guys at his feet and looked at each other with Yang Zheng. He didn't expect Yu Feng's family to have such a giant beast.
No wonder Yu Hai didn't dare to offend the shepherd at will. With these pack whales around, his family was a potentially huge force on the sea. In peacetime, it is about transporting goods, and in war, it is about transporting troops. No one can let this force be transferred to others if it is placed in their hands. It is better to destroy it than to help the enemy.
The days that followed were smooth sailing. As the giant crab swam in the water, the wind behind it also blew in the direction it was going. In this way, the ships following behind could use the wind to sail, and the speed was naturally much faster. No wonder Ran Peng said that with a shepherd escort, the journey would be much shorter.
More than ten days later, the seawater ahead gradually became a little turbid, which also meant that the fleet was approaching Kuntian Continent.
On this day, the fleet was still anchored at sea.
At night, Wu Gen, Yang Zheng and Zhuo Ke were sitting in the cabin, having tidied up very neatly. Ran Peng sat aside with some worry. He hesitated to speak. After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Are we leaving tonight? Why don't we leave until the fleet is closer to the shore."
Wu Gen shook his head, "No, let's leave tonight. You also said that we will arrive at the port in one day. By then, there will be too many people to see and it will be difficult to sneak ashore. Thank you for this journey, Tianya is not here Farewell, see you again in Jianghu, see you later."
Ran Peng sighed. Knowing that Wu Gen had made up his mind, he stopped trying to persuade him and helped to check the things he was carrying. At sea, the two lost their support and didn't know where they would drift to. Necessary preparations were still needed.
The one who was most worried was Xiao Ba. According to Wu Gui’s age, this little guy was still a child. He didn’t know if he could deliver Wu Gen and others to the shore safely.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. Everyone was stunned. Zhuo Ke quickly stepped forward to open the door, but Yu Feng was standing at the door.
Yu Feng glanced behind him with a furtive eyebrow, then twisted around and squeaked into the cabin, "Are you ready to leave tonight?"
Wu Gen was startled and scolded in a low voice: "If you don't stay alone with your clan members, why did you come here? Your father knows."
Yu Feng chuckled and touched his nose proudly, "Of course I don't know. If he finds out, he won't have to tie me up. Ignore him and I'll send you to the shore. At worst, I'll give him a beating later." "
Wu Gen was a little angry for a moment. This stupid boy didn't cherish having such a father, so he insisted on running over to wade through this muddy water with him. When they first met, Wu Gen really wanted to take advantage of him, but after getting along for a long time, he really couldn't bear to let him fall into the whirlpool.
Thinking of Yu Hai's worried look, Wu Gen quickly stood up and pushed Yu Feng out, "Let's go, let's go, I don't need you, go back quickly without anyone knowing."
Yu Feng frowned, "No, I'll deliver it today, unless you don't recognize me as a friend." He simply sat down on the ground.
Seeing Yu Feng's scoundrel appearance, Wu Gen had no choice but to agree after trying to persuade him to no avail. Considering that Yu Feng was going to return, Wu Gen decided to leave early.
Several people sneaked into the bottom cabin, where there was a cabin that led directly to the sea.
Zhuo Ke jumped into the water first with Xiaoba in his arms. Once in the water, his legs turned into two thick tentacles, somewhat similar to a squid. Yufeng also entered the water, dragging a long fish tail behind him.
"Let's go, take care." Wu Gen raised his hands to Ran Penggong, "See you in the next year."
"Take care and live well." Ran Peng's nose twitched and he hugged Wu Gen and Yang Zheng tightly.
After entering the water, Wu Gen lost to Zhuo Ke, while Yu Feng took Yang Zheng and began to sneak under the water. As soon as he entered the water, Wu Gen discovered that the originally thin Zhuo Ke was as nimble as a fish in the water, and his swimming ability was not even half worse than that of Yu Feng. They are both children at heart, and the two of them started to compete for supremacy, and they swam faster and faster.
Yu Feng and Zhuo Ke surfaced after staying underwater for a stick of incense. Turning around, he saw that the huge fleet of ships had disappeared. Apart from the sound of waves crashing, there was nothing unusual around him.
It’s done, Wu Gen secretly rejoiced, “Let’s go to Kuntianzhou.”
