This monster looks somewhat similar to a crocodile, but there are also big differences. It is huge, about thirty meters long.
He was covered in thick armor, and at first glance he looked like a man with extremely high defensive capabilities.
"Crocodile-armored sea dragon!"
Ye Li couldn't help but shout, he knew this kind of monster.
This kind of monster is extremely powerful, and the strongest can reach the level of Talisman Emperor or even Talisman God.
The crocodile-armored sea dragon in front of him, which is only at the Divine Appearance Stage, is not really a powerful creature, and Ye Li doesn't need to take action in this battle.
Haiyuan Fu Sheng was on the boat. He simply waved at the crocodile-armored sea dragon that was rushing up. The sea water around the crocodile-armored sea dragon instantly turned into countless ropes and tied it up.
Each rope made of sea water was as thick as a person's body. Hundreds and thousands of ropes were densely packed together, binding the crocodile-armored sea dragon like a ball of wool, making it unable to move at all.
At this time, the crocodile sea dragon finally calmed down and looked at Ramanel on the boat with fear. With the wisdom of a monster of its level, it naturally understood that the human in front of it was someone he could not afford to provoke.
"You are such a fool that you actually come to provoke us.
I know you have the blood of a dragon and your intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary monsters. You can understand what I say.
I will not kill you now, but I order you to guard our ship and help us drive away those blind guys."
As Haiyuan Fu Sheng spoke, he pointed at the crocodile-armored sea dragon. A column of water instantly condensed into an ice needle and pierced into the back of the crocodile-armored sea dragon.
The crocodile-armored sea dragon seemed to be suffering from severe pain. It arched its body and began to roar and twist continuously.
However, the force that bound it was too strong and it couldn't escape at all. No matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free from the ropes bound by the sea water.
"Are you in such a hurry? I have already planted an ice needle in your body. If you want to escape, I will activate the power of the ice needle.
The ice needles won't kill you, they'll just make you feel extremely painful."
Haiyuan Fusheng said to the crocodile-armored sea dragon.
With the wisdom of the crocodile-armored sea dragon, it could fully understand what Ramanel meant, and a look of submission immediately appeared on its face.
It has just felt the pain of the ice needles tormenting its body. If it had to choose, death would probably be better than enduring this pain forever.
Seeing the submissive look in the crocodile-armored sea dragon's eyes, Haiyuan Fu Sheng immediately untied the seawater rope on its body, and the crocodile-armored sea dragon regained its freedom.
However, the crocodile-armored sea dragon did not dare to escape on its own. It just nodded to Haiyuan Fusheng and sank into the water.
Whirlpools immediately appeared around Ye Li and his crew's ship. It looked like something was swimming under the sea, stirring up the water.
"It seems this guy didn't leave, he's really guarding us!"
Ye Li didn't expect that Ramaner would have such a "bodyguard" to escort him, and said with some surprise.
Lamaner laughed and said, "I have been out to sea several times before, and sometimes I had bad luck and was often harassed by sea monsters.
After getting fed up with it, I came up with this idea: find a high-level monster to serve as a guard. This will definitely scare away those low-level monsters which are numerous but have low intelligence.
Without these low-level monsters constantly harassing me, I would be much more relaxed."
For the rest of the journey, because of the presence of this divine-stage demon beast guarding them, the low-level demon beasts around did not dare to approach Ye Li and his ship and could only bypass it. Their journey suddenly became quiet.
Two and a half months passed quickly, and they finally arrived at the East China Sea of the Black Eye Continent.
Here, they would occasionally see ships passing by, but the crocodile-armored sea dragon had been released by Ramanel.
After all, the place where they are now can be considered an inland sea, so there is basically no danger from monsters.
"Senior Lamaner, we are about to reach the Black Eye Continent. Are you going to separate from me after you get off the ship?"
Ye Li looked far ahead and finally could vaguely see the outline of the continent not far away.
"I should get off the boat and leave. Your continent is very attractive to me. I find it hard to resist."
Ramanl said with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
Ye Li nodded in understanding and said, "Well, Senior Lamaner, I won't try to keep you.
After we reach the shore, we will go our separate ways. I will go to meet a friend of mine first, and then I will take the two Bilbao brothers back to my Ye family.
I have marked the location of the Ye family on the map for you. If you want to come find me, you can go to my family.
Even if I'm not in the family, they know where I am most of the time."
Soon, Ye Li and his ship arrived at the port of Haitian City. Ye Li noticed that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed slightly.
But he couldn't tell what was so strange about it. Ye Li just thought that he had gone through twelve years of practice, so he felt a little unfamiliar with the things in the outside world.
After bringing Bila, Bidula and Raman off the boat, Raman said goodbye to Ye Li and the other two and left Haitian City alone.
Ye Li took Bila and Bidula with him and prepared to go to the Lang family first.
Along the way, Ye Li felt that Haitian City seemed to be becoming more lively, with the sound of bustling crowds everywhere.
The faint sounds of discussion around seemed to be saying that a huge island from ancient legends had been discovered.
According to legend, there is a treasure left behind by an ancient powerful being on this island.
Ye Li did not hear this news all at once, but heard it intermittently from many people as he kept moving around, and finally pieced together the complete information.
While pondering the news, Ye Li walked to the vicinity of the Lang family's residence. However, when he arrived here, the scene in front of him shocked him.
Because the Lang family’s base is now in a mess, with broken walls and ruins, as if it had experienced a great war.
"This... What is going on!!!"
Ye Li felt somewhat confused and doubtful. He had only been away from here for a year and a half. How could the Lang family become what it is now
The two Bilhab brothers stood behind Ye Li and couldn't help but ask, "Master Ye, are you here to look for someone? It seems that this place has been destroyed!"
Ye Li said: "This was originally the family residence of a good friend of mine. It is unbelievable that it has been destroyed like this.
My friend's family is the most powerful family in the entire East China Sea. Logically speaking, it is impossible for it to be in its current state. I have been away for a year and a half, so something big must have happened here."
