Although this sea area belongs to the Shark Race, the Shark Race has lived in harmony with humans for generations. Even if the monks of the Huan Mie Sect forced them here, the Shark King Canghai never thought of taking revenge on the innocent people.
And monster beasts hidden in the thick fog suddenly appeared in this sea area and attacked humans for no reason. This obviously violated the Sharman clan's motto. Ji Beichen also understood at this time why Jing Xiaowei pursued her without hesitation.
Ji Beichen thought for a long time and felt a little confused. Jing Xiaowei followed Sea Monkey and didn't know when he would return. At this time, Mengchong suffered heavy casualties. He didn't know if the thick fog would come again. The boss of the ship must return as soon as possible. In this case, he Where to go!
Just when Ji Beichen was in trouble, the boss of the ship stood behind him at some point. He suddenly raised his fists and saluted Ji Beichen and said, "Zhao Xianhai, the head of the Zhao family, has met the head of the Zhao family!"
Ji Beichen was a little dazed by the bow from the ship's boss, Zhao Xianhai. Just when he was stunned and had not stepped forward to help Zhao Xianhai up, all the crew members on the deck behind Zhao Xianhai suddenly knelt down and worshiped, shouting: "Zhao's collateral line" Meet the clan leader!"
Ji Beichen was so shocked that he couldn't speak at the sight of everyone bowing down to him. After thinking about Zhao Xianhai's words just now, he understood the reason why everyone was bowing down to him.
He quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Xianhai up and explained: "This...Captain Zhao has misunderstood. I am related by blood to the Dongcang Zhao family, but now the Zhao family is still the Xuanji Medicine Shop and Zhao Xiang is the head of the Zhao family..."
Zhao Xianhai saw that the young patriarch in front of him wanted to deny the matter, so he continued to salute and said: "Clan leader, please don't delay. The head of the Zhao family has always regarded the jade lock that covers the sky as his inheritance. The head of the Zhao Xiang family has already made it clear within the clan that the jade lock that covers the sky has now been Into your hands!"
Seeing that Zhao Xianhai had reached this point, Ji Beichen couldn't refuse in front of everyone, so he could only say: "The jade lock that covers the sky is indeed in my hand. Head of the Zhao family, please get up quickly. Brothers, please get up quickly." !”
Zhao Xianhai saw that the young clan leader recognized the clan leader's duties and asked everyone to stand up, so he saluted the clan leader again and took the lead to stand up.
Zhao Xiang had previously mentioned the matter of the head of the Zhao family to Ji Beichen through Zhao Linger. Because the direct family of the Zhao family has always inherited the blood of the God of War, and the way to identify it is the plum blossom birthmark on the body, the direct family has always had the highest status among the Zhao family.
The selection of the clan leader relies on the inheritance of the previous clan leader, and the inheritance is the sky-shielding jade lock around Ji Beichen's neck. The previous patriarch was Zhao Xiang, the shopkeeper of Xuanji Medicine Store. Now he has passed the patriarch's token to Ji Beichen, and all the heads of the Zhao family are aware of this.
Zhao Xianhai saw the young patriarch standing on the deck in embarrassment, a little at a loss, so he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "The patriarch also invites you to speak in the cabin!"
The Zhao family belongs to the war god clan in the heavenly realm. Even though the bloodline is no longer pure after intermarriage with the human race in the lower realm, the blood of the war god from their ancestors still flows in their bones. Zhao Xianhai is a branch of the Zhao family who is proficient in water warfare. He served in the Royal Navy in his early years. Because he was tired of the fighting in the officialdom, he resigned and returned to his ancestral Dongcang with the Zhao family's cronies, driving a Meng Chong retreated from the battlefield and explored the Canglan Sea in a leisurely manner.
As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhao Xianhai stepped forward to plead guilty and said: "Please, the patriarch, forgive me for my previous recklessness!"
Ji Beichen waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "What are you saying, Master Zhao? I am not worthy of the position of patriarch, just because the master prefers to pass down the Jade Lock to me. Master Zhao should treat me as brothers as we were called before... …”
Ji Beichen just wanted to make everyone's relationship less formal, so he suggested that they treat each other as brothers.
But before he finished speaking, Zhao Xianhai fell to his knees again with a plop: "This is absolutely impossible. The clan leader is no better than the head of the family, so he doesn't dare to go beyond it!"
Ji Beichen didn't quite understand the true meaning of the Zhao family head now, and he couldn't tell the difference between the head of the family and the head of the clan. When he saw Zhao Xianhai kneeling down towards him again, he quickly stood up to help him, and he could only compromise: "Master Zhao, please Come on, what is going on in this Haishi Cave, please tell me in detail!"
Haishi Dongtian is located on the coast of the east coast of the island. It was originally a seaside scene developed by wealthy businessmen on the island in order to attract business. There is a sea stone cave in the sea stone cave. After natural changes such as wave erosion, the cave formed a special natural pool scene with an arch about ten meters high.
Zhao Xianhai knew that the young patriarch was worried about his missing friend, so he did not dare to delay and immediately reported the situation in Haishi Dongtian: "The beach in Haishi Dongtian is different from other beaches on the island. It is not a beach, the beach is full of stones. , and the stones are large enough to allow people to stand on them. Larger stones can accommodate multiple people standing on them.
There are gaps between the big rocks, and the gaps between some boulders are relatively large. When sea water hits the stones, the water will flow into the gaps, forming small pools. The sea monkey that hurt people in the first place came out of one of the pools! "
"Oh?" Ji Beichen was puzzled when he heard this. According to Zhao Xianhai, the origin of this sea monkey is quite strange.
Ji Beichen thought in his mind: In normal pools formed on rocky beaches, there will be some underwater creatures swept in by the waves, but most of them are small fish and shrimps. Even in some deeper pools, there are a few fish that grow up in them, but There is no way to grow a ferocious beast like a sea monkey. There is another possibility...
Just when Ji Beichen was about to continue questioning Zhao Xianhai, the voice of the crew came from outside the cabin door: "To the patriarch and the head of the family, the thick fog on the sea has completely dispersed, and the sea stone cave sky has appeared!"
When Zhao Xianhai heard this, he turned to look at Ji Beichen beside him. Seeing Ji Beichen nodding towards him, he immediately responded: "Leave immediately for Haishi Cave!"
After giving the order, the crew immediately became busy on the deck. Not long after, the sails were raised again, and the sails were sailing against the sea breeze.
When Ji Beichen walked out of the cabin, the sea stone cave was right in front of him, and Meng Chong was already preparing to dock. Ji Beichen and Zhao Xianhai led a small team of crew members ashore, and everyone saw the sea stone cave standing on the rocky beach from a distance.
Zhao Xianhai found a crew member who was familiar with the place to lead the way. The rest of the crew quietly gathered around Ji Beichen, wary of the sea monkeys who might hurt the clan leader.
It was obviously not the first time that Zhao Xianhai had been here. He kept staring ahead. It wasn't until the crew leading the way stopped that he withdrew his gaze and said to Ji Beichen: "Chief, the water pool formed in the gap between the huge rocks ahead is The land of sea monkeys!”
Hearing this, Ji Beichen raised his eyes and looked towards the pool, and quickened his pace: "Go over and have a look."
Everyone quickly arrived at the edge of the water pool, and Ji Beichen looked at the water pool carefully. He found that this pool was not the largest on the rocky beach, and there were many pools formed by gaps in the boulders that were larger than this one.
Ji Beichen took out a piece of fluorite from the storage ring and knocked it on the stone wall a few times. The fluorite immediately emitted a bright green light, shining brightly even in the daytime. Afterwards, Ji Beichen threw the fluorite into the pool. He wanted to explore the depth of the pool.
I saw the piece of fluorite slowly sinking down along the current of the pool, and the bright green light gradually became dim, and finally disappeared deep into the water.
Zhao Xianhai was obviously shocked by the depth of the pool and said, "I didn't expect this pool to be so deep!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ji Beichen felt somewhat confident: "There is an old saying: dragons emerge from the deep sea, and ferocious beasts emerge from the deep pool. If I guessed correctly, this sea monkey should not be a ferocious beast that appears in the sea near the island. This The deep pool most likely leads to another sea area, and the sea monkeys might have come from there!”
Zhao Xianhai heard Ji Beichen's words and nodded in agreement: "What the clan leader said is absolutely true. My crew and I have been to this deep pool several times, and we have also tried diving to explore, but the water in this pool is too deep and we have not reached the bottom. Recently, sea monkeys have frequently harassed the people of the island, so the island owner ordered us to get rid of the sea monkeys no matter what.
Yesterday, I ordered people to find poisonous powder that is poisonous to ferocious beasts and harmless to humans, and scattered it into the deep pool. On the way back, a thick fog arose. In the thick fog, I was attacked by sea monkeys. Many brothers! "
After hearing what Zhao Xianhai said, Ji Beichen knew Zhao Xianhai's identity on the island, which was equivalent to a sea guard and was hired by the owner of the island. However, he didn't know which wealthy businessman or powerful person the owner of the island was.
After listening to Zhao Xianhai's words, Ji Beichen whispered: "Hearing what the Zhao family leader said confirmed my previous guess that this sea monkey must come from other sea areas or secret realms. My friend sneaked in to track the sea monkey. Deep sea, maybe you can find him along this deep pool!"
Having said this, Ji Beichen took out the water spirit bead that Canghai gave him from the storage ring. He raised his head, held the bead in his mouth, and prepared to go into the water to search for Jing Xiaowei.
Zhao Xianhai saw that Ji Beichen was wearing a storage ring that only monks had, and a water spirit bead given by the Shark tribe. He was very surprised, and he made a judgment on the identity of the boy who fell into the water: "Water Lingzhu? I think the patriarch's friend is a shark!"
"His identity is..." Just when Ji Beichen was about to reveal Jing Xiaowei's true identity, a large wave hit the originally calm sea level around Haishi Cave. The big waves passed through the gaps between the boulders on the stone beach and rushed towards everyone.
The deep pool was affected by the waves, and the water began to sway. The sudden surge of water wetted Ji Beichen's shoes and socks. The moment Ji Beichen's toes touched the pool, a man's voice flashed through his mind: Senior Brother Ji, get into the water quickly, Miss Yan is in trouble!
"It's Nianxin!" This voice was very familiar to Ji Beichen. It was Yan Nianxin who should be drunk in the restaurant at this moment.
As soon as Ji Beichen heard what Yan Nianxin said, his mind went crazy: "Li'er is in trouble? How is this possible! Shouldn't she be sleeping in the guest room on the second floor of the restaurant? What's more, the Cangxu Sword didn't move, but... "
Just when Ji Beichen was wavering in his heart, a big wave hit again, and the pool water covered his feet again. At this time, a woman's voice appeared in Ji Beichen's mind. The voice was soft and magnetic, calling him magically: "Dance, dance..."
As soon as Ji Beichen heard the woman's voice, his hesitant heart immediately clenched. He asked in a trembling voice: "Li'er, is that you!" At the same time, he jumped up and jumped into the deep pool.
