"I don't know either. If you think it's inappropriate, just kick me out of the team."
Seeing that they didn't seem to like it, Xie Huan immediately made a suggestion. He was eager to go back to retreat.
"It doesn't matter in the mid-term, just follow us and follow the orders." The monk in brocade robes waved his sleeves, looking nonchalant.
As expected, Xie Huan's guess was correct. This strong second-rate person was Lu Ran, and the rugged-looking monk was Zhao Shuifan.
"Haha, what the King said is right. Once he comes, he will be in peace. Maybe you have some background. The island will take more care of you." Zhao Shuifan narrowed his eyes and smiled teasingly.
Luo Furong looked at Xie Huan for a few times, then withdrew her gaze and said, "Teams are usually matched based on realm, but sometimes there may be a gap in realm due to lack of people or manual manipulation."
Her voice was soft and her tone was smooth, which sounded very comfortable and not as cold as her face showed.
Shortage of people? Then this is too much of a coincidence.
It is probably arranged artificially.
Xie Huan thought about Xiao Ping paying attention to him intentionally or unintentionally that day. This seemed to be a simple test.
"This is the spiritual wine brewed from the inner elixir of sea fish. Only ten low-grade spiritual stones can make one pot. It is Yunxi's signature drink. Try it."
Zhao Shuifan said enthusiastically, with a flash of his eyes, the wine bottle on the table automatically moved to Xie Huan.
"Thank you."
Xie Huan poured himself a cup and drank it gently. It was surprisingly spicy, burning from his throat to his stomach, but soon a light spiritual energy spread in his body, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's really good, but ten pieces are still a bit expensive. "
"Haha." Zhao Shuifan smiled and drank three glasses in a row, then blinked: "You are poor, so you are sensitive to prices. This is the captain's invitation, so feel free to drink."
"This...then I won't be polite."
Xie Huan shouted into the wine shop: "Waiter, bring ten more pots and pack them up."
Luo Furong's face visibly stiffened and she cast a cold look at Zhao Shuifan.
Zhao Shuifan trembled all over and quickly lowered his head.
At this time, a monk came galloping towards him, with the wind blowing under his feet. He stopped directly outside the wine shop. He glanced around and saw Luo Furong, with a happy face. He hurriedly came forward to say hello: "Fellow Taoists, I'm Zhu Fei, twenty Three new members of the team.”
This Zhu Fei has a big round face, a mustache, several bulging bags hanging around his waist, and some deep wrinkles on his forehead.
Luo Furong frowned imperceptibly and asked, "You just entered the late stage not long ago, right?"
"I just joined this year." Zhu Fei replied truthfully.
"What's your age?"
"one hundred forty four."
"snort!"
Luo Furong's face immediately darkened: "It seems I have offended someone, and two good players were assigned to me."
Zhu Fei passed the red line of one hundred years old and entered the late stage of Qi refining. It was obvious that there was no hope of building a foundation. Monks like this would become Buddhist, value life and be reluctant to work hard.
First came a middle-stage Qi refining man, and then a Buddhist monk came to ask her how she could not be angry.
Xie Huan doesn't care. He just drinks on his own. If you want me, you can stay. If you don't want me, you can leave. It won't hurt if you drink a few more drinks.
Zhu Fei couldn't help it, and smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, I'm not here to make soy sauce. Even if I spend the rest of my life, I have to save more money. Moreover, this is not my first time on a mission. I am an old team member." , I was in Team 83 before, but because the team was broken and I was the only one left, I was assigned here by the island."
Luo Furong said coldly: "That's the best. This is neither a place to train newbies nor a place to provide care for the elderly. If anyone holds you back, don't blame me for being rude!"
She glanced at Xie Huan again, and saw that he drank several pots of spiritual wine in just a short time. Her heart ached, and she quickly said: "Stop drinking, carry out the mission!"
After speaking, he threw a handful of spiritual stones on the table.
Several people stood up immediately, followed Luo Furong, and ran towards the seaside.
Not long after, the waiter of the wine shop cleared the tables, looked at the direction in which the few people were leaving, and murmured to himself: "Luo Furong is actually leading the team. Is this a big task? And that man, isn't it? Is the Yun Shang Chamber of Commerce secretly offering a reward to this man?"
Thinking of the amount of the reward, the waiter's heart beat faster. He hurriedly cleaned the table, turned around and entered the house.
…
Half a quarter of an hour later, a beautiful yellow spirit boat took off from Luoxia Island, turned into a stream of light, and flew into the vast sea.
The moment they left the island, the void ahead fluctuated, and a flow of photon energy appeared, twisting into a hole for the spirit boat to pass through smoothly, and then disappearing in an instant.
This is Xie Huan's second time going to sea and the first time he has seen sea beasts surrounding the island.
The previously calm sea surface is now full of undercurrents. A dozen meters below the water, you can see various sea beasts swimming around. They all look strange, colorful, and densely packed as far as the eye can see, giving people a visual impact. It's huge, with a suffocating and oppressive feeling.
These sea beasts were all isolated five miles away by the island-protecting formation. From time to time, they impacted the formation, shaking up huge amounts of water vapor. Large areas of patterns appeared on the formation's barrier, flashing like arcs of electricity.
As soon as the spirit boat left the formation, it was immediately locked by the consciousness of a large number of sea beasts.
The five people on the boat seemed to be stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Not to mention the strength of these sea beasts, their appearance was enough to make people's backs run wild.
"Bang! Bang!"
Water pillars exploded below and crashed into the spirit boat.
There were so many that they were hit by several water jets, causing the spirit boat to sway and make several people on board unsteady.
Zhu Fei said in horror: "These sea beasts are much more violent."
"This boat is a top-grade magical instrument. We are not afraid of wind and rain. We should treat it calmly."
Lu Ran stood at the head of the boat, with his hands behind his back and looking straight ahead, feeling as if he was scolding Fang Qiu.
Xie Huan suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura, and saw a huge shadow rising under the wide sea surface, moving rapidly in the direction of the spirit boat.
"boom!"
The sea surface exploded, and a huge vortex rose into the sky. Inside was a tentacle, which rolled directly towards the spirit boat.
Luo Furong raised her hand, a green light appeared on her palm, and then a large number of electric arcs appeared with a "thunder bang". A strange bronze war weapon appeared, turned in the void, and slashed downwards.
Zhan Ge carried the thunder and struck it into the water vortex, blocking the tentacles.
"boom!"
Large pieces of water shattered and evaporated directly in the air. The sharp arc struck the tentacles and knocked them back.
Then Zhan Ge blurred and returned to Luo Furong's hand, disappearing in a flash.
There was an angry roar under the sea, and a strange fish exposed half of its head. Two coal-black eyes glared upward, and countless tentacles spread like hairs on the sea.
After this blow, the spirit boat was completely out of danger and quickly shuttled out of the sea area.
Xie Huan quietly watched the scene just now, thinking to himself that this girl's strength is indeed not bad, she may have reached the level of pseudo-foundation. The war weapon is also a high-grade magic weapon, and it is stronger than ordinary high-grade magic weapons.
"The sea octopus just now is one of the three foundation-building sea beasts surrounding the island. It rarely appears, but we met it unexpectedly." Luo Furong said calmly.
"And there are sea beasts from the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Xie Huan asked, in the sea, within the same level, if a sea beast can support three human races to build a foundation, isn't Luoxia Island in danger?
"If there was no foundation-building period, no matter how many sea beasts there were, they would have been wiped out by us long ago. Don't worry, these foundation-building sea beasts will not land on the island. On land, one human race can defeat three of them."
Luo Furong glanced at Xie Huan and explained: "Furthermore, these foundation-building sea beasts all have strong spiritual intelligence. They are also greedy for life and afraid of death, but they are reluctant to take risks on their own."
"I see. How long will these sea beasts last?"
Xie Huan asked the doubts in his heart.
He learned from the information that the sea beasts surrounding the island were caused by the vibration of spiritual veins.
Under every spiritual island occupied by human monks, there will be various spirit gathering arrays, which will continuously input spiritual energy into the island. This will destroy the spiritual energy balance in the sea.
Whenever the imbalance reaches a certain level, it will cause chaos among sea beasts and attack the formation under the island.
"Looking at the degree of death and injury of the sea beasts and the balance of the spiritual energy, some months, some years, and this time the sea beasts besieged the island, it seems that it is not that simple."
Luo Furong pondered a little, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Is there any inside story?" Zhu Fei asked in shock.
Luo Furong glanced at a few people and said: "There is nothing to hide. There is a shadow of the Xuanyin Sect in the sea monster siege this time, so this time it will be more difficult than before."
Xie Huan was not interested in these sect disputes and only cared about making money. He asked: "What is our mission this time? The captain hasn't told everyone yet, has he?"
"Hehe, the captain's style is to wait until the mission is over to prevent leaks of secrets to the greatest extent." Zhao Shuifan said with a smile.
"This mission is top secret and will not be announced. You can just follow the instructions."
Luo Furong's words made the four of them stunned.
"Could it be that you don't believe us?"
Lu Ran looked displeased.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, this is an order." Luo Furong's voice was cold, with an unquestionable temperament.
She took out four jade slips, distributed them to the four people and said: "The contents inside will be mastered within ten days. If you don't understand anything, ask me anytime. This is related to the success or failure of the mission. If anyone makes a mistake, I will not be lenient." .”
Xie Huan took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. It contained a formation, which was a bit messy and seemed incomplete.
"There is a cave inside the cabin of this spirit boat for everyone to practice." After Luo Furong finished speaking, she was about to enter the cabin.
"And one more thing."
Xie Huan immediately stopped her and asked: "I heard that there will be rewards for every mission. What is the reward this time?"
Luo Furong was stunned for a moment, her face turned cold, and she asked, "How much do you want?"
The other three late stage Qi Refiners didn't say anything. You asked about remuneration before you started doing anything in the mid stage Qi Refiners, which made her extremely unhappy.
Xie Huan felt Luo Furong's mood, but what did it have to do with him if others didn't ask? He wanted money anyway, so he smiled and said, “Of course, the more, the merrier.”
The other three people felt a chill. Zhao Shuifan tried his best to wink at Xie Huan, but Xie Huan pretended not to notice.
Luo Furong's eyes were like daggers, almost penetrating Xie Huan, but Xie Huan still smiled and didn't care.
Luo Furong was furious and wanted to punish the newcomer, but when she thought about the importance of this mission, if the newcomer rebelled, it would be troublesome to mess with him.
She suppressed the anger in her heart, calmed herself down, and said slowly: "The reward for this mission is 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and I will distribute it according to personal merit."
"I am at the lowest level, will it affect the distribution?" Xie Huan's eyes stayed on Luo Furong's face.
"No, we only look at merit, not state."
Luo Furong glared at him, turned around and entered the cabin, thinking that after returning, she would kick the newcomer out of the team as soon as possible, and then find out who threw him in. She must give some color to the behind-the-scenes, and he actually bullied her. onto one's own head.
//Thank you "Plough on the Spring Rain River" for rewarding the leader.
