Chapter 219 The Second Million-Year Soul Ring?
One month later.
Hanhai City is a main city located in the coastal area on the western border of the Tiandou Empire.
As the largest coastal city in the Douluo Continent, it is only about half the size of Tiandou City. Although the population is not very large, judging from the aura emanating from passers-by, the ratio of soul masters to ordinary people is extremely high. Although it is not as good as Wuhun City and Chuanling City, it is not comparable to Tiandou City.
There are many reasons for this. As long as the martial spirit belongs to marine creatures, such as Shui Bing'er's sister Shui Yue'er, she has some kind of dolphin martial spirit. Such people will be classified as sea spirit masters. There are many holders of this kind of martial spirit, not to mention places along the coast, so sea spirit masters account for a large proportion of the entire group of spirit masters.
For this type of soul master, the sea is equivalent to their unique training environment. As the largest coastal city, it naturally attracts many sea soul masters to gather here.
There is another reason why it is difficult for ordinary people to live here. As the saying goes, it is difficult to grow crops in a climate like the seaside. In addition to food imported from the inland, it is Only the fish in the sea are left.
But in addition to fish, there are soul beasts in the sea. If you are a soul master, that's fine. Ordinary people going out to sea to fish are just a job with their heads in their belts. One day, a sea soul beast may attack a fishing boat and they will be buried in the sea.
Over time, there have been a lot fewer ordinary people.
In addition to the high proportion of soul masters, this city also has another characteristic, that is, almost everyone's skin becomes dark due to exposure to the sun, so the way to distinguish outsiders is very simple, just look at the color.
Today, a well-known restaurant in the city welcomed two fair-skinned boys and girls.
As the door opened, the man who seemed to be the owner of the store subconsciously looked up, his breath stagnant, and soon his rich experience made him the first to react, and he quickly led the waitress behind him to greet him.
"Hello, is this your first time in Hanhai City? Please take a seat here."
The man guided the two of them to sit down, handed the menu to Huo Yuhao himself, and spoke in a warm tone.
"What do you two want to eat?"
"This is indeed our first time here. Do you have any signature dishes?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao nodding in recognition, the man subconsciously glanced at Gu Yuena, who was sitting opposite him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, I can guess it just by looking at you two. Our store has a lot of signature dishes. If it's you two, I'd recommend that one the most."
As he spoke, he pointed to the wall on the side, and the two subconsciously looked in the direction.
It was an advertisement, with a seafood called oyster printed on it. Inside the hard shell, the white meat appeared tender and juicy, and looked very tempting. The slogan below was a very simple sentence.
——Make every night more exciting!
".?"
The smile on Huo Yuhao's face stiffened for a moment, and he coughed twice. The man immediately understood what he meant, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Gu Yuena, who was sitting opposite, glanced at Huo Yuhao meaningfully, with an inexplicable light shining in her eyes, but said nothing.
"It seems I was rude. I thought the two of you were a couple. It's just my blindness. Haha, I'm sorry."
The man quickly laughed and started pointing out other signature dishes on the menu to Huo Yuhao.
"Salt and pepper fish, stir-fried clams, pan-fried cod, and garlic scallops, that's it."
Huo Yuhao ordered a few dishes, but after talking for a long time, the waitress on the side didn't respond.
Looking up, he found that the other party was looking at him blankly.
".Ahem."
"Ah! Sorry, I took note of it and will serve it to you two right away."
Hearing the man's slight cough, the waiter came to his senses and quickly bent down to apologize. He subconsciously glanced at the purple-eyed girl sitting opposite the young man, and trotted into the kitchen with a blushing face.
Seeing the other person's panic, the man looked at Huo Yuhao and said with a smile.
"That girl may have been a little confused when she saw you two such handsome people. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, I don't care. Thank you to the store."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said that he didn't take it to heart. This was not the first time that he had encountered this kind of thing.
Although it was not impossible to use mental power to hide his appearance when eating, it was still a problem whether the store would remember to collect money after doing so, so he put away his mental power after entering the restaurant.
The man also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to speak.
"You two are here, maybe you want to go to sea?"
Looking at the familiar man, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, and at the same time took a small bag from his storage belt and handed it over.
"Yes, we need to go to sea far away. I wonder if the store has any advice?"
"No, no, no, I just want to see my little brother being kind and let's chat together. I can't give you any advice. At most, it's just some experience. Just think of it as apology for what happened just now."
The man waved his hand to reject the money bag and lowered his voice slightly.
"The main reason is that your temperament and appearance are not like ordinary people. If you want to board a ship, you must be careful. There is a very famous super-large pirate group active in the offshore. They may disguise themselves as ordinary ships at the dock and specially select The seemingly wealthy nobles boarded the ship and robbed them of their money.”
"Although your life is usually not lost, most of your money will be stolen. Please be careful."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows.
"Robbing most of it? Could it be that the pirates left some after the robbery?"
"Well, that pirate group is very principled in what they do. They focus on wealthy nobles. They can survive by paying the money. They don't do anything too ruthless. They usually leave part of the money for the robbed person. As for the money they robbed, , I heard that most of them were used to help the surrounding poor villages.”
"I see, I never thought there would be such pirates."
Hearing Huo Yuhao, the man sighed softly and nodded in agreement.
"The boss of this pirate group has done more than that. Before the establishment of this pirate group, most of the pirates at sea were small groups. They worked independently and acted more cruelly and viciously. They even robbed civilians and immediately killed them after they had robbed them. Drop into the sea and feed the fish.”
"Since the creation of this pirate group, almost all nearby pirates have been incorporated in just a few years, and those who disobey have been eliminated. Since then, there have been a lot less bloody incidents like this."
"In the past, there were pirates in the near sea and spirit beasts in the far sea. The fishermen were miserable. With the pirate group, the fishermen can fish in the near sea."
Speaking of this, the man seemed to have thought of something and added.
"But this does not mean that the offshore sea is safe. There are still many soul beasts wandering near the sea. Although most of them will not actively attack ships, there are always exceptions. There are even several areas that have been divided into restricted areas. Once entered, it is almost impossible. Come out alive."
"Of course, if you are going to the distant sea, then I advise you to give up directly. The offshore sea is already very dangerous. The spirit beasts in the distant sea are more than a little more ferocious. There will be no ships willing to take you there."
"Thanks to the store for letting me know."
Although Huo Yuhao had no intention of taking the boat, he still wanted to express his gratitude to the other party for telling him this.
"It's a small matter, the food is here, please use it slowly."
As the waiter brought the dishes they ordered, the man greeted them with a smile and turned around and left.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile when he saw this. Being able to meet such a kind person in an unfamiliar place made him feel better. He looked at Gu Yuena and spoke warmly.
"Try it and see how the food here is?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuena picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, tasted it, and nodded slightly.
"It's not bad but not as delicious as yours."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was startled, shook his head and laughed.
"Then let's go to the market after we finish eating. Prepare some ingredients and I'll cook them for you on the way."
"good."
There was obviously a hint of joy in the ethereal voice, and then Huo Yuhao watched the other party pick up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl.
"Try it too."
".good."
The two of them had been sleeping rough for a month without ever settling down in a decent place. Now that they had arrived in Hanhai City, they naturally planned to spend the night recuperating before setting off tomorrow.
After eating, the two of them chose to visit this coastal-style city in the afternoon as planned.
Because of the hot weather here, both men and women on the street look very cool in their clothes. Their slim waists and beautiful legs with wheat skin are so eye-catching that they are dizzying.
As he walked, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a hand that was as warm as gelatin holding him. He subconsciously looked down and saw that the owner of the hand was none other than Gu Yuena.
At this moment, the other party's face was calm and his eyes were looking straight ahead, without any disturbance.
She seemed a little uncomfortable with Huo Yuhao's strange gaze, so she explained softly.
"Consider it my reward for protecting you this month."
"."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Did they encounter any danger along the way?
Hanhai City is very big, and the two of them bought a lot of things while wandering around. Apart from the ingredients that will be used later, the most attractive thing to Huo Yuhao is the condiments unique to this place.
After tasting fish sauce, shrimp paste, crab paste, etc., she put them all in her bag. The look in her eyes made Gu Yuena unable to hold back any longer.
By the time the two of them came to their senses, the sky had already darkened and the streets were brightly lit. Not only did the number of passers-by not decrease, but there were even more people wearing more revealing clothes.
"Let's find a place to stay."
"Um."
However, it is not easy to find a suitable hotel. It seems that because most of the people in Hanhai City are rich and energetic, many buildings look like hotels on the surface and are decorated like hotels, but the buildings exude a faint atmosphere. The red light was telling Huo Yuhao that it was not a hotel.
And every time he passed by a place like this, he had to bear Gu Yuena's gaze like needles.
".Just this one."
Huo Yuhao looked at the hotel with the pink signboard with the word "Love Nest" in front of him, took a deep breath, and walked in with Gu Yuena.
Although its name and the pink signboard don’t look too serious, there is no red light inside it! From this point of view, it is already much more serious than other places.
Early the next morning, the two walked out of the hotel door.
As expected by Huo Yuhao, this was indeed a relatively serious hotel. Apart from the waiter's "I understand you" expression on his face and saying that there was only one room, there were no other strange things.
In addition, Gu Yuena kept her head down and didn't say anything, so he had to spend a lot of effort to remind the waiter that there was still a room in the hotel.
Today was the day to go out to sea, and the two of them followed the coastline to a deserted place.
They didn't plan to go there by boat, but chose to fly. After all, they didn't know how far the Sun and Moon Continent was. Flying not only had a wider field of vision, but also could effectively prevent sea soul beasts, and was faster.
With a muffled bang, Huo Yuhao's ice-white wings on his back suddenly spread out, and then he seemed to realize something and looked at Gu Yuena beside him.
"Do you have wings?"
"Yes."
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Yuena's back also grew a pair of silver dragon wings, and the wing bones were densely covered with crystal clear silver hexagonal scales, emitting a strange brilliance under the sunlight.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were stunned. It must be said that whether it was the body or the human form, the other party's appearance was unique even in his experience. The only one who could compare with it was the Snow Queen.
Gu Yuena did not show any shyness because of the other party's staring, and asked calmly.
"Does it look good?"
". Looks good."
The arc of the girl's mouth, which had not changed for thousands of years, seemed to have changed a little, and the ethereal voice sounded again.
"It's time to set off."
"Yes."
The two of them flapped their wings and soared into the sky, like two streams of light, one white and one silver, rushing towards the sea.
"Yuhao."
In the spiritual space, Liya's voice sounded.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you thought about the seventh soul ring of your second martial soul?"
"No, do you have any suggestions?"
"Well, there is a sea soul beast with extremely terrifying cultivation in the ocean. I am not sure whether it has reached a million years. I think it will be soon even if it has not."
"!?"
Several souls immediately showed up, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm screamed.
"How could there be a soul beast with a cultivation level close to mine! My soul is an unprecedented million years old, even Di Tian is only 800,000 years old."
The Snow Emperor beside him shook his head slightly, and said in a cold voice.
"I have also heard of the soul beast that Liya mentioned. This should be true. I told Huo Yuhao in my previous life that there are many more sea soul beasts than land soul beasts. It is not surprising that such a creature is born in such a large group."
"But even if the other party has reached a million years, his combat power is definitely not as good as Di Tian. Except for the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian with the Dragon God Claw is absolutely invincible among soul beasts."
"From Yuhao's memory, Tang San in his previous life inherited the throne of the Sea God. That guy should have died at Tang San's hands."
"Really?"
Tian Meng was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of heat flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of excitement.
"Close to a million years, if I use the origin to give him a little boost in the process of becoming Yuhao's soul, then it will be another million-year soul ring!? Liya! Tell me about the other party quickly."
"His name is the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. He is extremely powerful and is the undisputed overlord of the ocean. Even the evil killer whales that attacked my mermaid clan before did not dare to provoke him."
"But he is different from the evil killer whales. Although he has a violent personality, he usually stays in his own territory. If someone breaks into his territory, he will take action. That area is not only a restricted area for you humans, but also for our sea soul beasts. My mother has warned me since I was a child that the sea area where the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is located is absolutely not allowed to go."
As soon as these words came out, the other party's strength was naturally reflected. You must know that the Princess of the Sea, as a soul beast that has been cultivating for 600,000 years, did not dare to provoke the other party at all. You can imagine how powerful the other party is.
"How is it? Yuhao, do you want to go and see?"
Hearing Tianmeng's eager voice, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and nodded.
"In that case, let's go meet the other party and ask what they want."
