Chapter 399 Hunting Sea Soul Beast (IV)
"That's the boat I booked."
Romantina said excitedly, pointing to a medium-sized ship about 20 meters long not far away with a mermaid statue on the bow.
According to her, that was the Mermaid, and its captain was a heroic woman who was very much in line with Zhou Qing's sexual preferences.
"Oh my god!" Zhou Qing frowned, "Can you not describe it so outrageously? What do you mean by something that fits my sexual preferences?"
What kind of woman does he like?
Pretty!
enthusiasm!
Of course, you have to have a hot body!
but--
This is clearly the standard for all normal people, right?
Romantina smiled secretly and brought the three of them to the Mermaid. The captain personally got off the boat to greet them.
The captain looks young, only about eighteen years old, but according to herself, she is already thirty years old, but she has some secrets to maintain her youthful appearance, so she doesn't look old.
And her dress—
It's so naked!
The lower body was wearing trousers that seemed to be woven with silk, and the upper body was just made of two pieces of shells wrapped with some light pink gauze, and the long water-white hair, which together covered the two key parts.
Not to mention Zhou Qing, even Tang San was stunned, thinking that the women in this coastal city were too open-minded.
"You are the friends Tina mentioned, right?"
The captain puffed out his chest and smiled as he looked at Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, three guys who were almost adults in height but looked like children. "Are you all from commoner families? You all look pretty strong."
"We are all civilians. Our hometown has cooperated with other villages to build a farmer's vegetable market, and we share what we have with each other. Everyone lives a good life. Plus, we all have the talent for cultivation, so we naturally develop fast." Zhou Qing did not dare to be careless and gave a half-true and half-false description.
The reason why he was on guard was because Zhou Qing sensed an imperceptible fluctuation of soul power on the captain's body.
Ordinary people cannot detect it, but Zhou Qing can see it clearly at a glance, and this trace of soul power fluctuation is extremely strong... The opponent's soul power level is at least at the Soul King stage!
This reminds me of Haider in the original book, a pirate who was extremely resentful of the nobles and was eventually wiped out by the Shrek Seven Devils.
But judging from the fact that he was able to stay in the port area of Hanhai City, he should be doing a legitimate business and it is impossible for him to be doing things like "robbing the rich to help the poor".
Otherwise, the powerful people in Hanhai City must first find a way to eliminate Haider.
However, maybe Haider has some connection with the mayor of Hanhai City, helping him deal with some foreign nobles who may threaten his interests...
At the moment, although this captain looks handsome, he may be a character like Haider, who dislikes the nobles and calls on other sailors to tie them up halfway.
There's no way to reason with that!
If they were facing a Soul King on land, even if he, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina joined forces, they would not be able to fight him.
But once we get to the sea, that's their territory, and there are other sailors there, so we may not be able to win.
"The vegetable market in the inland village? I've never been to the inland." The captain seemed to be quite curious about the inland, but he immediately withdrew his thoughts and called everyone on board.
There were seven or eight sailors on the ship, both men and women, who made no effort to conceal the fluctuations of their soul power. They were all soul masters, with soul power levels ranging from level four or five to level seven or eight, and their ages ranging from twenty to forty. If they did not have the opportunity, no matter how much they practiced in the future, they would at most be one-ring soul masters.
It was just slightly higher than the average soul power level of most civilians on the continent. In fact, as long as the martial soul was awakened, they all had innate soul power. After all, the released martial soul also needed soul power to maintain it.
It’s just that for most civilians, their innate soul power is so low that even the crystal ball cannot detect it.
When these civilians use their martial souls to work, they consume all their soul power and then wait for it to recover automatically. This is essentially a form of cultivation, but it is far less efficient than meditation.
Therefore, all civilians in the continent who have awakened their martial spirits have soul power. However, even after reaching adulthood, their soul power level is only maintained at one or two levels and it is difficult to improve it.
However, this situation also made Zhou Qing doubt whether he had guessed wrong before. The captain was not a pirate like Haider, but a soul master who liked to adventure on the sea.
There are indeed some soul masters who don't like fighting. Instead, they like exploring the unknown and enjoying the thrill of adventure.
In fact, in Zhou Qing's opinion, adventure is the more normal career direction that a soul master should pursue, rather than fighting.
The latter is nothing more than a Game of Thrones.
As the sailors reeled in the anchor and hoisted the long sails, the ship slowly sailed away from the port.
Although soul beasts such as the Rubik's Cube Octopus, which are less than a thousand years old, live in shallow seas, they cannot be encountered just a few kilometers out to sea. You have to go to the area where sea soul beasts live.
The sea area fifty kilometers west of Hanhai City is called the Reef Sea Area, which is a paradise for ten-year-old and hundred-year-old sea soul beasts.
Thousand-year-old soul beasts also appear from time to time in this sea area.
Therefore, this place is regarded as the "ocean forest" where the local soul masters of Hanhai City hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings.
It took the Beauty Lady half a day to reach the outside of this sea area.
Half a day was enough to quench Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina's thirst for the novelty of the sea. They just wanted to quickly hunt down a Rubik's Cube Octopus and then return.
"Are we there yet? Captain Ariel."
The captain of the Mermaid is named Ariel.
"This is the reef area."
Ariel pointed to the black reefs of various shapes on the sea, some disc-shaped, some blade-shaped, and some crossed, and introduced them to Zhou Qing, "Legend has it that this reef sea area is the trace left after the battle between the sea god and another god representing light. It is more than 20,000 years old!"
A god representing light?
When Zhou Qing heard Ariel talking about the legend of the sea god, his first reaction was the angel god.
It is not impossible that the great war between gods caused the seabed rocks to move, leading to volcanic eruptions, and then suddenly cooled down to form a similar form to reefs.
"Among these reefs, are those blue ones some kind of mineral?"
Tang San discovered that among the reefs, there were some blue crystals. When washed by sea water, they would produce a phenomenon similar to ripples in the sun. He couldn't help but feel itchy, thinking that it might be a special crystal mineral bred in the ocean of Douluo Continent.
He was researching soul guides and needed this special mineral!
"It is the Heart of the Sea Stone, which contains life energy. Unfortunately, only plants can use the energy in it to grow. Humans and other sea soul beasts cannot use it, so no soul master will specifically pick this kind of Heart of the Sea Stone."
Ariel pointed to a piece of sea heart stone where a tree with a twisted, thick trunk but short, thin branches and winding roots grew out.
