After Xu Dao got the golden fishing rod, he stopped for a while on the reef to recover his magic power. Then he held the fishing rod in his hands, looked at the sunlight, and started patrolling the vast western sea along the east direction.
Originally, he was a little worried that there would be Foundation-level or even Golden Core-level ferocious beasts blocking his way, but after walking for a day or two, no accidents occurred.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that he flies so high that he doesn't get close to the sea easily.
On this day, there was still no island within Xu Dao's field of vision, but a small black dot appeared.
This black dot crawled slowly on the sea surface, like an ant. His eyes flickered, and he immediately recognized that it was actually a completely black ship.
The ship is fifty or sixty feet long, with a sail in the middle. The surface of the sail is not white or gray, but also jet black. It is obviously not an ordinary ship.
Xu Dao's eyes showed surprise: "I finally met the natives of the West Sea!" He thought for a moment in the air, then hid his face, let down his hair to cover his forehead, and ran straight towards the black ship.
Within a few breaths, Xu Dao flew to the black ship. He did not cover his body, and the people on the ship also noticed him.
I saw three men in dark cloaks hurriedly ran out, stood on the boat, and looked at Xu Dao in a prepared manner.
There were signs of mana flowing on these three people, but no one took off directly into the air. A distant voice shouted: "I don't know where the Taoist master flew from. Is there a place for us to help?"
The shouts were respectful, and the three men in black robes bowed and saluted while shouting, and the entire black ship stopped.
Xu Dao did not reply directly. He glanced around and then looked at the cabins, masts, etc. on the ship. He also saw the heads sticking out one after another. They were all sallow and thin, with frightened expressions.
These people in hiding have no power, they are all ordinary mortals, and they have shackles on their limbs. They are all strong and strong, and their qi and blood are abnormally strong.
As for the three men in black robes, they are only at the level of Qi Refining Taoist disciples. The fat-bellied one in the middle has already completed Qi Refining, or is on the verge of establishing a foundation.
Xu Dao thought to himself: "This place is frequently visited by foundation-building Taoist beasts. How dare you come to this place without a foundation-building Taoist priest on board?"
He thought, because he didn't know much about the West Sea, and for the sake of caution, he simply released his spiritual consciousness and swept towards the black ship arrogantly.
If there is a Taoist priest on the ship but he doesn't show up, he can be forced out, but if there is no Taoist priest, there is nothing the other ship's crew can do against him.
As soon as Xu Dao's consciousness came out, the three black robes on the black boat were talking in low voices, their expressions were startled, and they suddenly felt that the hair on their bodies stood on end, and their faces were extremely frightened.
They gritted their teeth and shouted in their hearts: "Divine consciousness! They are genuine foundation-building Taoist priests! They are not fake."
After realizing this, the expressions of respect on the faces of the three people became more intense. They bent their waists, lowered their heads, and almost fell to the ground. They were no better than the hiding mortals.
Xu Dao just glanced at the three of them and did not take the other party's performance to heart.
After scanning with his spiritual consciousness, his brows first wrinkled and then relaxed, and he flew around the entire black ship, and then landed generously on the highest point of the cabin on the ship. He put his spiritual consciousness away and just gathered around
No longer oppress others around you.
After the three men in black robes noticed a light touch on their bodies, the fear in their hearts disappeared slightly. Without any time to think about it, they spun around like dogs, faced the cabin, and quickly bowed to Xu Dao.
The person with the highest level of cultivation among them hesitated for half a step and shouted respectfully again: "This Taoist priest, my surname is Lai, is the master of this ship. May I have any orders from the Taoist priest?"
Xu Dao lowered his head slightly, his only exposed eyes were extremely indifferent, and he said casually: "I have been hunting for a dangerous creature for many days. I came here by chance and stayed in seclusion for many days. What kind of sea is this place? It's coming quickly."
Hearing the words, Taoist disciple Lai did not dare to show the slightest hesitation and quickly replied: "This is around the Shark Island. Two or three thousand miles to the southwest is the Shark Island."
"I think the Taoist priest has great magic power, so he walked too much for a while and didn't know where he was nearby."
While he was talking, he kept moving his hands and was busy taking things out of his arms: "This is also the first time for Xiaodao to come here, but in order to do business, he specially bought a chart. Taoist priest, please take a look!"
Taoist disciple Lai took out a light yellow leather scroll, held it respectfully in his hands, and spread it out so that Xu Dao could see it from a distance.
Xu Dao raised his eyes slightly and found that the object in the opponent's hand was really in the shape of a square map. His consciousness moved, and after a slight inspection, he rolled the chart over and hung it in front of him to look at it.
After reading the entire chart and memorizing it in his mind, Xu Dao understood clearly and hit the chart with a casual blow, knocking it back into the hands of Taoist disciple Lai.
The other party hurriedly accepted the chart, put it in his arms, and still stood respectfully.
As the other party said, the place where Xu Dao is now is a corner of the entire West Sea. It is not remote but far away from the core area. The nearest island is called "Serman Island".
As for this island, there is no record on the map.
However, there are slight traces of outline on the chart. The Taoist disciple named Lai seems to have come from another place called "Hantie Island". The distance between the two islands is tens of thousands of miles, which is not far away anymore.
But they are the closest in the whole chart.
The other islands the size of sesame seeds and mung beans in the picture are thousands or even thousands of miles away, numbering in the dozens.
After figuring out the area he was in and knowing that there was an island two to three thousand miles away, Xu Dao breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little confident.
In the past few days, he continued to fly on the sea without sleep, just to understand his situation. Now that he got what he wanted, he felt a little happy.
What made Xu Dao a little regretful was that the sea map in the hands of Taoist disciple Lai was poor. It only showed an area of tens of thousands of miles in radius, and a vague large map of the West Sea, which was not even marked.
If Xu Dao wanted to know the situation in the entire West China Sea, he would probably have to land on an inhabited island and then inquire.
But this shouldn't be difficult. He squinted at the three black-robed Taoist disciples and was secretly surprised.
When Xu Dao was in the Kingdom of Wu, because of the impression given by the army of the West Sea, he thought that the entire West Sea was already full of demons and there were not many living people. Now only three Taoist disciples dare to walk on the sea, and there are also many mortals in the boat. The situation may not be the same.
He thought so badly.
Xu Dao's coldness subsided slightly, and he continued to ask the three of them condescendingly: "In that case, I will follow you and take a trip to the Shark Island, how about it?"
When the Taoist disciple named Lai heard this, he was startled at first and then overjoyed immediately. He took off the cloak on his head and bowed to Xu Dao respectfully, revealing his fat head and big ears: "Very good, very good.
If the Taoist leader is with me on this trip, I won’t be afraid of the dangerous things in the sea at all.”
Xu Dao's heart moved slightly: "It seems that these people also know that there are foundation-building ferocious beasts nearby, and they should have special methods to deal with them?" He did not directly ask his doubts, but asked in a nonchalant manner:
"You said that you are doing business on boats. What kind of business are you doing?"
Hearing this, Taoist Lai smiled even more greasily on his fat face. He rubbed his hands and said with some pride and restraint: "Don't dare, don't talk about business. It's just a small business, just selling some food."
Let me go to Merman Island to earn some hard money."
The Taoist disciple named Lai continued to flatter and said: "Although there are only about three hundred people in the small boat, they are all carefully selected. They have long teeth and can breed. They are most suitable for the taste of the sharks."
"There are two foreign Taoist disciples among them. Do you want to try it, Taoist Master?" Taoist priest surnamed Lai had a look of pain on his face, but he still took a few steps with joy, looking like he was going to take Xu Dao into the cabin.
Visit in.
After hearing what he said, Xu Dao raised his brows slightly, and his eyes that were relaxed at first darkened again, but after a pause, he just said lightly:
"Lead the way, let's see how it goes."
"Yes." Taoist disciple Lai quickly agreed.
When the other two black-robed Taoist disciples heard this, they also lifted their cloaks, revealing two sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks. They hurriedly walked to the cabin, opened the cabin door, and respectfully invited Xu Dao in.
