After hearing this, Elder Luo immediately showed a look of great joy.
Elder Lu, who was in charge of leading the team this time, was a genuine early-stage Nascent Soul monk, and he was also the steward of their large fleet in Baohuahai.
Fengbo Trading Company has a strict hierarchy, and even Elder Luo doesn't know who is behind it. He has even met only one of the core elders in the sect.
The core elders of Fengbo Trading Company usually do not come forward. Unless the fleet encounters an urgent problem that cannot be solved and has a great impact on the business and even development of Fengbo Trading Company, the core elders may come forward to solve it. .
As for the fleet, it is also divided into different levels. For example, the fleet of four spirit boats led by Elder Luo is a relatively basic unit among the trading companies, and above him, there is a large fleet like Elder Lu. Take care of things.
Normally, a steward of a large fleet would not go to sea for operations, but would just sit in Baohua City and do some management work. The fleet under his jurisdiction usually numbered around ten.
In addition to the management of the large fleet, there are also some cross-domain fleets. The leaders of such cross-domain fleets are basically the elders of the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Incarnation Stage Chamber of Commerce. They will not appear. In Baohua waters.
So right now, the highest-level monk in their improvised team searching for the traces of the Three-headed Dragon Turtle Beast is Elder Lu.
Elder Luo also had some hidden secrets that he had not revealed, that is, he and Elder Lu had some disputes in the early years. It was only later, with the coordination of other elders of the trading company, that Elder Lu became the steward of the large fleet. There was no trouble with him. Of course, the main reason was that Elder Luo's fleet was not under the jurisdiction of Elder Lu.
But the chief steward of their fleet did not come to the Baohua waters, and Elder Lu happened to be near the waters, so he naturally became the leader of the team this time.
And once this little chicken-hearted Elder Lu gets a chance, Elder Luo is almost certain that he will definitely try every means to deal with him. With his current state, he is simply unable to compete.
With Xiao Lin as the worshiper, things are different. Moreover, according to the rules of the trading company, a captain like him has the right to invite worshipers who accompany the ship to participate when accepting a mission from the trading company.
At the same time, Elder Luo also understood that Yang Lin and Min Zheng had already offended Xiao Lin with their words at the beginning. Although Xiao Lin did not show any signs of it, if he invited the two of them again, it would definitely make Xiao Lin unhappy, so He didn't invite Yang Lin and Min Zheng, and it can be said that he had good intentions.
The next day, Elder Luo temporarily assigned a subordinate to lead the fleet back to Baohua City, while he and Xiao Lin quietly left the fleet and flew towards the depths of the Baohua waters.
Because Xiao Lin was imprisoned in the Sea of Consciousness, he was unable to drive the magic weapon, and naturally he could not fly it. However, his Holy Scale Burning Heaven Technique had reached its peak. With the surge of his own energy and blood, he could turn into golden light and carry it with him. It flies in the air.
If you really want to use it with all your strength, the speed can even exceed that of a peak Nascent Soul monk. Even in the early stage of becoming a god, I am afraid that you will have the power to compete.
It's just that Xiao Lin is still used to keeping a low profile as much as possible within the scope of his ability. Together with Elder Luo, he also always maintains a similar escape speed.
Ten days later.
The two came to an unfamiliar sea area. In the distance, between the clouds and the sky, there were islands of various sizes dotted, and some of the islands were surprisingly large, perhaps thousands of miles in diameter.
Elder Luo took Xiao Lin and flew towards one of the inconspicuous islands.
Soon the two of them flew into the sky over the island, which was about a thousand miles in radius. There were eight volcanoes standing on the island, three of which were still sending out thick black smoke.
The eight volcanoes go up from the mountainside, and no grass grows. However, below the mountainside, they are covered with towering ancient trees, which are extremely dense, and still maintain the charm of a wild ancient forest.
The two of them flew close to the forest for a moment, and suddenly a red light shot out from the forest in front of them.
Seeing this, Elder Luo showed a hint of joy on his face. He turned around and said to Xiao Lin: "Elder Lu and the others have arrived and are waiting in the valley ahead."
Xiao Lin nodded and said nothing.
The two people soon fell into a narrow valley with rugged rocks, and on the large stone pillars in the center, there was a person sitting cross-legged.
There are three men and two women in total.
With the arrival of Elder Luo and Xiao Lin, the five people opened their eyes one after another. When they saw Xiao Lin, they all showed surprise.
"Luo Xinhai, why did you bring an outsider here? Don't you know the secret nature of this matter?" An old man wearing a red flame robe looked at Elder Luo and said angrily.
The other people all showed puzzled expressions and looked at Elder Luo.
When Xiao Lin saw this, his heart sank slightly. He had never seen anyone since he had been practicing. He could tell at a glance that the old man in the flame robe seemed to have resentment towards Elder Luo. While he was accusing Luo Xinhai, he
, there was actually a bit of cold murderous aura flashing in his eyes.
When Elder Luo saw this, he bowed to the old man in the flame robe without haste.
"Elder Lu, Luo received the order from the company's turmoil and came to assist Elder Lu to complete the task. According to the rules of the company, any worshiper who has signed a long-term contract with the company can assist in completing tasks below level three. This time
The task level is exactly three, so Luo doesn’t seem to have violated the company’s regulations, right?”
Elder Luo's words were neither humble nor overbearing, showing his sophistication and shrewdness.
The other people also cast approving glances, obviously they also knew about the grudge between Elder Lu and Elder Luo.
"Oh, so this is the worshiper of Elder Luo's fleet? That's no wonder. I just don't know what this Taoist friend's surname is, what clan he comes from? Is his origin clear? Although the trading company stipulates that you can invite worshipers to participate in the mission, but Lu is the principal
People must not understand clearly the origins of their teammates, otherwise if they are alien spies, wouldn’t it be a big deal?”
"Elder Luo, what Elder Lu said is not unreasonable. If this person's origin is unknown, he cannot be allowed to participate." On another stone pillar, a petite woman in her thirties wearing strange clothes,
Wearing heavy makeup and wearing strange clothing, almost the entire right leg was exposed, down to the top of the thigh.
The snow-white flesh is particularly eye-catching in this broad daylight.
When Elder Lu heard this, he couldn't help but look at the woman with approval, his eyes flashing with hunger.
"It turns out to be Elder Du. This Xiao Zongfang is the worshiper of Luo's fleet. Naturally, I checked his origin and found that he was from Baohua City and was also a high-level body refiner. I think the elders of the guards also came here.
It is very clear that high-level body refiners are only found in our human race and the multi-armed tribe. As for whether Elder Xiao is a member of the multi-armed tribe, Luo doesn’t need to explain it, right?"
"Well, he is actually a high-level body refiner? No wonder the Nu family saw that this fellow Taoist's escape light was a bit weird before. Now that he thinks about it, it is actually the escape light condensed by the power of qi and blood, which can use the qi and blood so freely.
I am afraid that he is a powerful being among high-level body refiners, but I didn’t expect Elder Luo to be able to win over such an expert."
The person who spoke was another woman. This woman's style was completely opposite to that of Elder Du. She was dressed simply and in a gray robe. Her face was dignified. She looked like she was in her thirties. A simple sword hilt was exposed from her back.
"Hmph, the so-called high-level body refiner is just a high-level coolie. If something happens to him, I'm afraid he will be of no use at all."
"Yes, although our mission is to explore the lair location of the three dragon turtle beasts, if we can find their lair, enter it, and get the treasure, don't we have to count this outsider as a share?"
"Elder Wu said this, but the structure is a bit small. Our Fengfeng Trading Company is a trading company in the world, and everything is about maximizing profits. As long as it can generate value, even a share of the pie is not a bad idea. Wang actually believes in Elder Luo's
I don't really want to hire a useless person."
Elder Luo's initially gloomy expression immediately relaxed after hearing this: "What Elder Wang said is true. Fellow Daoist Xiao's body-refining magical power is far inferior to even that of Luo. With Fellow Daoist Xiao joining us, it will be of great help to us."
It is absolutely wise to say so."
"Okay, in that case, let's not argue any further and let's start the mission as soon as possible." Seeing that Elder Luo and Xiao Lin could not find any clues, Elder Lu had no choice but to press the matter first.
Anyway, the mission is still long, and I have plenty of opportunities to eliminate two people.
Xiao Lin also saw the situation clearly. Elder Du and Elder Wu were obviously members of Elder Lu. As for the plainly dressed woman, she obviously remained neutral and did not want to get involved between them.
of grievances.
Elder Wang seemed to have a good relationship with Elder Luo, and would speak out in defense at critical moments.
"Since Elder Lu is the leader this time, can you please give us specific tasks?" Luo Xinhai seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Elder Lu nodded and told the news he knew.
It turned out that three dragon turtle beasts appeared on an island not far from here a month ago, and happened to be seen from a distance by a golden elixir monk passing by.
This golden elixir monk knew that it was impossible to find the lair of the three-headed dragon turtle beast with his own ability, and even if he found it, there was almost no chance of entering it.
So after thinking about it, he sold the news to Fengbo Trading Company at a very high price.
When talking about this, Elder Lu also emphatically explained that when this person was selling the information, he had made it clear that he would not sell it to others again, but the credibility of this guarantee was almost zero.
Even if it does not sell the information to the human race, it will definitely sell it to other races, and it will deny it anyway.
And judging from the recent strange behavior of the Multi-Armed Tribe, this news has probably spread, so during the mission, you should pay more attention to the Multi-Armed Tribe.
After finishing speaking, Elder Lu cast another spell and displayed the map of the island and surrounding areas in front of several people.
At the same time, Elder Lu also began to analyze the possible location of the nest of the three-headed dragon turtle beast.
The nests of the three-headed dragon turtle beasts are usually under the deep sea, but most of them rely on islands. In other words, the most likely place for their nests to exist is under the sea around that island.
At this point, Xiao Lin finally understood what the difficulty was. The island was thousands of miles in diameter, and it was not a small area that went around in a circle and penetrated deep into the sea.
Moreover, the three dragon turtle beasts are extremely cunning, and the location of their lair is extremely secretive. Finding the entrance to the lair is not an easy task.
What's more, the island where the three dragon turtle beasts appear may not necessarily be the location of the nest.
After some explanation, Elder Lu began to assign tasks.
There were seven of them in total, Xiao Lin, Elder Luo and the elder named Wu were grouped together, Elder Lu was with the woman surnamed Du, and the woman in simple clothes was with the monk surnamed Wang.
This kind of allocation is also very particular. The elder named Wu is obviously monitoring Elder Luo and Xiao Lin.
Their mission was to search for traces of the three dragon turtle beasts on the island, and then explore the entrance to the three dragon turtle beasts' lair along the seabed around the island.
Elder Lu repeatedly warned everyone that once they find traces of the three dragon turtle beasts or their lairs, they must not alert the snake. Instead, send a message to notify the rest of the people and take action only after they come together.
After the explanation, everyone turned into rays of light again and flew towards the island where the traces of the three dragon turtle beasts were found.
Half a day later, everyone discovered that several huge islands appeared on the horizon, and their goal was the one in the middle - Duchen Island.
After everyone flew over the island, they said hello, and then turned into three groups of escaping lights, each shooting in different directions.
"I didn't expect that the three dragon turtle beasts would actually appear on this Duchen Island. There are many places on this Duchen Island that are filled with poisonous miasma all the year round. This kind of poisonous miasma, let alone the Golden Elixir monks, even the Nascent Soul cultivators rashly inhale
Within the body, the body will melt instantly, and the soul cannot escape. It is really powerful, Fellow Daoist Xiao should pay attention to it later."
Elder Luo's voice rang in Xiao Lin's ears.
"It seems that the rumors are true. The three-headed dragon turtle beasts like to swallow some poisons. There are a large number of poisonous insects and poisonous beasts living on this poisonous dust island. It seems that these three-headed dragon turtle beasts come here for food, and their nests may not necessarily be there.
Near this island." The elder Wu looked at the large amount of poison spread over the island, covering almost half of the island, and he couldn't help but show a bit of fear on his face as he spoke.
"Elder Wu, are you afraid of this poisonous miasma?" Elder Luo knew that this person was placed by Lu Chengyin to monitor him, so he was not polite when he spoke.
"Luo Xinhai, you may not overestimate yourself and underestimate Wu. It's just a poisonous miasma. Why would Wu take it to heart?"
"Hey, Elder Wu, please don't get me wrong. Not only is this poisonous miasma extremely poisonous, but it can also cut off the spiritual power of cultivators. We can only go deep into it and slowly explore it."
Seeing that the elder surnamed Wu's expression softened slightly, he called to Xiao Lin and took the lead in flying towards the island.
After the three of them had gone dozens of miles deep, they pressed the escape light and began to fly close to the mountain forest. Soon they saw a large gray mist appearing in front of them, like a heavy fog, covering the distance.
At the same time, a fishy smell also entered the noses of the three people.
