This old man pretending to be an ordinary person is obviously proficient in the method of collecting breath, which makes ordinary people unable to detect the fluctuations in his energy. However, the breath-holding technique practiced by Kong Ming was obviously more effective than this old man, and only then could he feel the fluctuation of Yuan Power hidden in his body.
A cultivator like this who has reached Yuan Jiang level must have some special purpose for pretending to be an ordinary person and hurriedly boarding a cargo ship traveling across the sea. It’s unlikely that such an elderly man would come out for a trial like Kong Ming, right
Of course, all the people on board this cargo ship were ordinary people, and no one except Kong Ming noticed the old man's strange behavior. Even the escort on the ship, a cultivator with an intermediate level Yuanshi, could not sense that this old man was a strong man with a cultivation level far higher than his.
On the way to Haizhou, Kong Ming didn't want to get into trouble. Anyway, the old man couldn't tell that Kong Ming was a cultivator, so Kong Ming was happy to pretend to be an ordinary person and follow the others out to sea.
The vast East China Sea is extremely vast, many times larger than Tianyuan Continent. Coupled with the equally vast South China Sea and North Sea, it can be said to surround Tianyuan Continent on three sides. In addition to the fact that the wild land in the west is too far away, and it is currently impossible to find out where the end of the west is, the known range of human activities includes Tianyuan Kyushu and the inland seas of the Three Great Seas.
As for the outer seas of the three seas, they are too vast, and the creatures and monsters in the oceans are a hundred times more ferocious than those on land. Coupled with the unpredictable weather at sea, human exploration has not been able to reach the outer seas. , can only operate within the scope of the inland sea. However, even if it is just the so-called inland sea, it extends to the sea for more than a million miles? The inland sea of any sea is no bigger than Tianyuan Continent!
From Haitian City to Haizhou, although you only need to cross an inner bay to get there, the journey on the sea will take at least ten days. The straight-line distance is almost a thousand miles, and a mere inconspicuous inner bay has this The scale of the East China Sea can be imagined, which is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In addition to worrying about the weather when sailing at sea, there is also the fear of those elusive pirates. It is precisely because the sea is vast and there are so many isolated and desert islands where pirates can escape, that pirates have countless gathering points where they can gather, making it very difficult to destroy them. Moreover, people who make a living at sea are very tough and tough, and they often kill people without batting an eyelid. They not only rob wealth and sex, but also rob lives. These pirates can be said to have caused serious disasters. Otherwise, why would there be a cultivator with intermediate Yuan Master cultivation on board a small cargo ship
Of course, there are tens of thousands of ships plying the sea every day. Except for those who are particularly unlucky enough to encounter pirates, most ships are relatively safe to sail on the sea.
Although the weather on the sea is unpredictable, the inner bay is relatively calm. As long as there are no pirates, the cargo ship Kong Ming is on should be extremely safe. After sailing on the sea for almost ten days, everything was uneventful and we were getting closer to Haizhou.
When Kong Ming came out to test the world this time, he originally wanted to experience various different lives, so this time he wholeheartedly pretended to be an ordinary person and became very familiar with the passengers on the same ship. The only exception is the old man who hides his true identity. Since boarding the ship, he has been staying in the cabin and basically not going on the deck. He said that he was worried about his son's illness and was very worried in his heart, but the actual purpose must be to hide his whereabouts.
On this day, Kong Ming was having fun fishing with several sailors who were taking turns at the bow of the ship, when he suddenly heard the sailor who was in charge of looking out during the fight blowing the siren and raising a flag. After seeing the semaphore, some sailors couldn't help but change their expressions and murmured: "Pirates? What a bad luck. It's only a few days until they reach the shore. How come we can still encounter pirates near the inner bay?"
Since the pirates were attacking, the mid-level elementalist responsible for the escort would naturally gather the sailors to prepare to meet the enemy. As for the passengers on the ship, they all retreated to the cabin to prevent any unexpected events. Fortunately, after entering the cabin, you can still see the sea through the portholes.
At this time, the ordinary passengers were naturally in a panic, because no one knew whether these pirates were ferocious or not, and whether the mid-level Yuan Master guarding the ship could stop them. Kong Ming took a special look at the old man whose identity was hidden, and found that his expression changed slightly, and he was obviously worried about something. It stands to reason that this old man's cultivation level is not low. How could he be afraid of mere pirates? Could it be said that these sudden pirate attacks are actually related to this old man
Through the porthole, Kong Ming soon saw a black flag appearing on the sea level, with a red poisonous spider dripping blood painted on it. It was not just Kong Ming who saw this flag. Some passengers who were accustomed to traveling by sea could not help but exclaimed: "Blood Spider? Why did you encounter such a notorious pirate? According to rumors, the Blood Spider is ruthless. , never leaving anyone alive, I'm afraid this time we're in for a disaster. However, the blood spider's range of activities has never been in the inner bay, so why did it appear here this time?"
Another passenger asked uneasily: "Master Liu, who is guarding the ship, has the cultivation level of an intermediate yuan master. Isn't it possible that he can't deal with these pirates?"
The more experienced passenger shook his head and said: "Master Liu will have no problem dealing with ordinary pirates. But, the three heads of the Blood Spider are all Yuan General-level warriors, right? As long as there are some among them, If anyone is on this pirate ship in front of us, do we still have a chance to survive?"
Yuanjiang-level practitioners are the strongest people in the world that people can come into contact with. In the minds of ordinary people, they are almost equated with invincibility. When I heard that among the pirates in front of me there were actually Yuan General level warriors, maybe even as many as three of them, their faces turned pale and they felt that this time they were in danger of death.
Let’s talk about Master Liu, who was responsible for guarding the cargo ship. When he saw the blood spider’s flag hanging on the pirate ship, his expression changed drastically. He knew that he could not defeat the pirates on his own, so he quickly ordered the sailors to sail quickly. If he could get rid of the blood spider, The pursuit was really a blessing.
However, everyone was riding a cargo ship. The design was focused on loading more cargo, so the speed was not that great. And pirates are used to making a living at sea, so how can their sailing speed be so slow? Even if the cargo ship ran away with full sail, the pirate ship followed closely behind, gradually overtaking it and getting closer.
