() Although it has only been half a day since he arrived in Dinghai City, Jiang Wen has already heard the name "Giant Whale Gate" from Hou Li's mouth many times. If the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is a fierce dragon crossing the river, then the giant whale gate
Jingmen is a complete local snake in Dinghai City, doing all kinds of evil.
Extortion and collecting protection fees are just their normal business. There are hundreds of incidents where foreign businessmen and warriors are murdered every year in Dinghai City. Almost half of them are committed by the disciples of the Giant Whale Gang, just because they are not strong enough.
Su Su, and has the support of the city lord of Dinghai City, and never provokes a master who is stronger than himself, so he can survive to this day.
"Take me to the Fuyuan and have a look. If it's really what you said, I'll help them!"
After finally finding a seagoing ship with experience in deep-sea navigation, Jiang Wen was naturally unwilling to miss it easily, otherwise he would have to wait until the next time he wanted to find such an opportunity.
"Okay!"
Seeing Jiang Wen agree, Hou Li shouted excitedly and immediately drove the carriage towards the east dock of the city without any urging from Jiang Wen.
Seeing this, Jiang Wen was already certain that this moment Li must be related to the Fuyuan. Perhaps he was the child of a sailor on board the Fuyuan, or he was a sailor on the Fuyuan himself. Such a child actually fell into this trap.
When it comes to making a living by guiding people, it is obvious that the current situation of the Fuyuan and its crew is not optimistic.
One thing is true, Hou Li did not lie. He did know every street in Dinghai City. Under his leadership, Jiang Wen's carriage shuttled quickly through the narrow alleys. It only took less than half an hour to reach the destination.
Crossing the densely populated urban area, we arrived at the harbor terminal in Dongcheng District.
Tens of thousands of sea-going ships are arranged densely in the harbor pier, which is really spectacular. Not far away, one sea-going ship slowly sails towards the sea, and the cloud sails made of coarse cloth stand up high.
They are connected into one piece, covering the sky and the sun.
Effortlessly, Jiang Wen found the Fuyuan that Hou Li mentioned on the dock. It was a large sea-going ship, about a hundred feet long and six or seven stories high. Even among tens of thousands of sea-going ships,
In the connected harbor, it also stands out like a flock of chickens, very conspicuous.
When Hou Li drove the carriage to the side of the Fuyuan, a young sailor immediately jumped off the ship and said loudly: "Little monkey, where have you been this day? I don't know that our current situation is very serious."
Isn't it dangerous? If you let those idiots from the Giant Whale Gate catch you, your life will be in danger."
Seeing the honest smile on Hou Li's face, as if he didn't care about his words, the young sailor became even more angry and yelled: "Where did you get this carriage? Did you steal it? Did I tell you?"
You, the crew of the Fuyuan, even if you starve to death on the ship, you must not steal anyone else's bricks and tiles. You'd better return this carriage as soon as possible before the captain knows about it, otherwise
You’re dead!”
Although the young sailor spoke in a stern tone, the deep concern in his words could be clearly felt even by Jiang Wen, an outsider.
Hou Li seemed to have long been accustomed to the young sailor's cold-faced and warm-hearted attitude. He jumped off the carriage and said quickly: "Brother Lu Yan, hurry up and report to the bearded captain. I'll pull him in for the Fuyuan."
We have a business deal, and this young master wants to rent our Fuyuan to travel around the sea, so we can open our business again!"
When Hou Li was talking, Jiang Wen had also stepped out of the carriage. Seeing this, the sailor named Lu Yan, his expression softened slightly, and there was a hint of hope and joy in his eyes.
"No need, I already know!"
Just when Lu Yan was about to get on the ship, a slightly older voice sounded from the deck above him, and then a middle-aged man with a beard on his face was seen walking down the rope ladder hanging from the side of the ship.
, walked down slowly.
Seeing the figure of the bearded captain, the little monkey immediately straightened his chest, like a soldier about to receive a commendation, with excitement and excitement on his face.
However, what he received was a big surprise from the bearded captain. He was hit hard on the forehead, "Little monkey, you violated the rules on the ship and got off the ship privately, which made everyone worried about you. Now
This matter must not be tolerated, so I will punish you for three days of washing the deck in person, reflecting on your regrets, and if I find you dare to be lazy and slippery, you will be punished for another one day."
After saying that, ignoring Hou Li who looked frustrated, the bearded man looked at Jiang Wen again and said coldly: "Young Master, the little monkey is ignorant and has caused trouble to you. Our Fuyuan is under repair and we will not be here for the time being."
Now that the business is done, if you want to go to sea, I can help you contact other seagoing ships, and I guarantee your satisfaction!"
Although the bearded captain did not say it clearly, Jiang Wen saw a trace of suspicion and wariness in his eyes. Obviously, he was worried that Jiang Wen might be an undercover agent sent by the Giant Whale Sect.
"If you are worried that the Whale Gate will cause trouble, then there is no need to!"
Jiang Wen went straight to the point and said with a smile: "The reason why I came to you is because you have experience in deep sea navigation, and I happened to have something important to go into the deep sea, so I came to you. If you really have the ability to lead
I went into the deep sea and found what I wanted, so as part of the reward, I can help you completely solve the trouble from the whale gate, how about this deal?"
"Young man, you'd better go back!"
The bearded captain didn't seem to be moved at all by Jiang Wen's conditions. He just looked up at Jiang Wen and said softly: "I have seen many young people like you who have dreams and want to go into the deep sea to explore unknown islands. But
The sea is ruthless. No matter what your identity is, as long as you enter it, you will have a narrow escape. I advise you to go back and don't throw away your life for an unattainable dream."
"As for the trouble from the Giant Whale Gate, don't worry, Mr. Cao. We will solve it ourselves!" After saying that, the bearded captain turned around, grabbed the collar of the little monkey who wanted to sneak away, and prepared to
Return to the ship.
"Wait!"
Jiang Wen took a step forward and suddenly put a hand on the bearded captain's shoulder, stopping him.
The bearded captain, who had been wary of Jiang Wen for a long time, immediately used his true energy to shake Jiang Wen's palm away. However, he soon discovered with great horror that his cultivation in the middle stage of the Gangyuan Realm was actually surpassed by Jiang Wen's.
A huge force came from Wen's palm and was suppressed in his dantian, making him unable to move at all.
"A strong man in the Infant Transformation Realm!"
In an instant, big beads of sweat covered the bearded captain's forehead, "The young man in front of me who looks like a pretty boy is actually a well-hidden infant transformation expert!"
Just when he was panicking, Jiang Wen had quietly put away his palms and chuckled softly: "Now, you should believe what I said. For me, money is not a problem.
Whale Gate is not a problem. The only trouble is that I have no sailing experience. I urgently need a ship that can safely sail into the deep sea and an experienced captain. You and your Fuyuan are just what I need.
All requests.”
As he spoke, Jiang Wen took out a low-grade spiritual stone from his arms, handed it to the bearded captain, and said softly: "This is the deposit I will give you, a low-grade spiritual stone worth one million small talismans. If
If you can take me into the deep sea and find what I want, I will give you another low-grade spiritual stone as a reward, which is enough for you to buy another Fuyuan."
Looking at the shining low-grade spirit stone in front of him, even the bearded captain who was used to big scenes couldn't help but take a breath. He had heard of such things as spirit stones many times in his life, but he couldn't help but sigh.
This was the first time he had ever seen a real thing with his own eyes, and even more fortunately, he had an opportunity right in front of him to own it easily.
"Okay, I agree!"
As if he had exhausted all his strength, the bearded captain finally nodded and agreed to Jiang Wen's request. Under this situation, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had met a noble person this time. This was the heavyweight of the Fuyuan.
A great opportunity for a new life.
As for the Giant Whale Gang, they have long been ignored by him. With the strength of the Giant Whale Gang, they may be able to collect treasures such as spirit stones, but they cannot recruit the powerful people in the Infant Transformation Realm no matter what. Jiang
With a strong man like Wen sitting in charge, the trouble from the Giant Whale Gang is no longer a problem.
After accepting Jiang Wen's deposit, the bearded captain immediately changed his role and asked quickly: "I wonder which island in the deep sea you want to go to, senior?"
Sailing in the sea is no different than on land. You can set off anytime and anywhere. It also depends on the changes in weather, seasons, and destinations to choose a suitable route. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may get lost in the vast sea, or get lost.
Crash into the range of energy tide.
"My surname is Jiang, so please call me Mr. Jiang. I'm not very old, so don't call me senior to avoid misunderstanding!"
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Jiang Wen did not tell his real name and said with a smile: "The place I want to go to is a small island in the deep sea called Guixi Island. I don't have a chart in my hand, I just know
This island is located in the deep sea, and the rest is all up to you!"
"Guixi Island!?"
The bearded captain frowned deeply. The word "Guixi" has an unlucky color, which can easily be associated with death. The longer the veteran sailors have been sailing at sea, the more they are concerned about such words.
Especially taboo.
After pondering for a moment, the bearded captain shook his head in embarrassment: "Master Jiang, please atone for your sins. I have been traveling by sea for nearly a hundred years, and I have never heard of an island like Guixi Island!"
"There is another clue in my hand. There should be an active volcano on Guixi Island, and it is a very huge volcano." Jiang Wen continued.
"Guixi Island!? Active volcano!?" When Jiang Wen said this, the bearded captain's mind immediately became active. Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that what the young master said?
Guixi Island is that volcanic archipelago located in the Sea of Death?”
