Hou Zi pointed out the scenery along the way, and he knew all the treasures, but he never mentioned how to recover the ship's cargo from the chasing bandits.
The two sisters have a certain understanding of this guy. He behaves unconventionally, sometimes crazy, sometimes cowardly, so you never know what he is thinking in his heart.
But at least before Tongxuan, everything this person did seemed to be reliable?
Maybe, based on this guy's weird standards for making friends, does he know the leader of the Wind-Chasing Bandits? Dugulan gave himself a reason. Otherwise, he couldn't explain why he dared to take the two of them there alone. If he didn't have any brains, It's been corroded by sea water, so that's what it must be.
Xiao Qiang also agreed with her judgment, but her mind was not on it at all.
"Senior Brother Hou, my wife is very beautiful, but I don't know what does Senior Brother like about her?"
... Along the way, the two women chatted endlessly. Dugulan always brought up the topic of chasing the wind thief, but Xiao Qiang always stayed on Bai Qingqian.
Dugulan knew that her cousin was still obsessed with this man, so she always wanted to get rid of her dangerous thoughts. However, Xiao Qiang didn't care about the cargo at all, and she felt like she wished she could be divorced by the palace.
The three of them each spoke their own words and called each other's horns, and they actually had a lot of fun talking with each other along the way, but some of them were very different from each other.
The speed of the three of them was not very fast. It didn't look like they were going to recover the cargo. It was more like a picnic. If it weren't for the fact that the direction was exactly within the area where the Wind Chasing Pirates were operating, Dugulan would have suspected that this person had something else to hide. the goal of?
It came out in a hurry, but flew slowly. Why did it come?
On the third day, the two sisters suddenly noticed a strong aura of spiritual energy behind them. It was a sign that the monk was passing by quickly, and the direction was facing them.
Both sisters are a little nervous. They are no better than they were when they went to sea before. Without the sword flag of King Wucheng to protect themselves, if they are just flying alone in the sky, it will be difficult to avoid the prying eyes of others on the lawless sea.
Looking at Hou Zi in front of him, he seemed unaware, with his big sleeves flying, still going his own way.
"Don't panic. It is not illegal to leave the sea. Everyone is respectful and polite, respects and loves each other, how can there be so many evil deeds? We are on our way, and others are also on their way, that's all."
There are roads on the land, so it is normal for passers-by to bump into each other; the sky is vast and boundless, and it is normal for the front and rear legs to be strung together?
The two sisters secretly made preparations in case of any eventuality; their spiritual consciousness was focused on the monk behind them. In their view, this was a pursuer, not a polite passerby.
There were five people on the other side, approaching straight from behind, and they were about to enter the attack range. However, Senior Brother Hou still took his time, neither speeding up nor taking any preventive measures, which made the Dugu sisters nervous. With the talisman in your hand and the instrument on your body and the curse on your mouth, you just have to strike first.
However, when they entered the edge of the attack range, the five monks slowed down and followed them at the same pace as them. Their malice was clear and they were obviously coming towards them.
Dugulan gritted his teeth and said: "They said they were just passing by, but they followed them unscrupulously, and they were obviously targeting us. I know that some bandits often surround robbers, so I sent a few people to follow them first, and others posted somewhere in front. Treat each other online, wait for senior brother..."
Hou Zi thoughtfully said, "Well, it makes sense. This is to drive Zi into the net. But there are five of them and we only have three. It's not easy to make mistakes? Why don't we wait until we pass a certain big island?
Let’s talk about it later?”
After all, the two sisters have very little fighting experience, and they have the idea of strike first, but if you really let them launch a brazen attack, it is another matter. The difference between heartbeat and action cannot be calculated by reason.
Seeing that the senior brother has no desire to take action now, it makes sense to wait for the environment to change before taking action. The two sisters can only focus on observing the movements of the monks behind them.
Xiao Qiang quietly said, "It doesn't seem to be from the same Taoist tradition? The escape methods are mixed, there are Taoist methods, side sects' magic, and signs of the magic sect. Sister Lan, can you identify their roots?"
Dugulan shook his head, "You can't, how could I see it? But there is one thing, if it is so complicated, it must not be the same sect. Who else can gather like this on the Lizhi Sea except pirates? Oh no, Zhui Feng Pirates
They’re already targeting us!”
Xiao Qiang comforted her, "Sister Lan, don't worry. Senior brother is right. Wait until you pass a big island before taking action. Not only can you get support from other monks stationed on the island, but you also have more choices in the terrain. Unlike now, there is nothing but the sky."
It’s the ocean, and I don’t want to have to get into the water while trying to do it.”
Monsters are rampant in the sea, which seems peaceful but actually hides murderous intent. No human monk is willing to get in easily.
The two sisters were ready, just waiting for the environment to change and kill them suddenly. They still had expectations for Senior Brother Hou's combat power. With him as the main force and them as supplements, plus the monks stationed on the island passing by, they should not be able to kill him.
Will they fall behind?
Thinking like this, the two groups of people moved forward in tandem, crossing the sky at a constant and medium speed; they were not familiar with the distribution of the surrounding islands, so they could not make any good suggestions on the path.
The sea and sky were clear and the visibility was extremely high. While flying, Dugulan saw the outline of a large island a hundred miles away on one side, and couldn't help but secretly suspect,
"That island is big, and there are many monks stationed on it. Why not go there?"
Xiao Qiang sighed. Sister Lan was really distracted all the way. No wonder she, the unfamiliar environment and the unfamiliar situation were completely beyond their capabilities.
"Sister Lan, don't complain. How do you know that the monks stationed on this island will definitely help us? What if it is against the Quanzhen of the Yan Sect, such as the Wu Sect Taoist?"
Dugulan shut her mouth. She herself felt that there was something wrong with her mentality during this period. Ever since she was robbed by pirates, everything was beyond her control. She was in trouble and hit walls everywhere. Then she met this person who was not following common sense.
Senior Brother Hou...
I feel like a puppet on strings, being led along by others, and I feel helpless. The problem is, the suffering is not over yet.
They were waiting for a suitable island to appear, but instead of the island appearing, another group of people with malicious intentions appeared.
Three more cultivators caught up from behind, with the same speed and unscrupulousness, as if they were never worried about frightening their prey... Then, they also slowed down outside the attack range and started to follow the pattern.
There were eight people. This difference in numbers began to make them wonder. Even if they really found an island willing to help, would it be possible to deal with eight pirates at the same time?
The same mixed orthodoxy, the same silence,
But such silent following caused great psychological pressure on the two sisters. They no longer thought about how to recover the cargo. Now the first thing they faced was how to escape from the pirates.
