"I've been waiting for you for a while. It's quite on time." Chen Pao looked at Li Feng who had adjusted his condition and said with a grin.
Li Feng said with some apology: "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."
"Well, are you all ready?" Chen Pao asked.
Li Feng nodded: "You are ready, you can leave at any time."
"That's good. Before we set off, I have something to tell you two." Chen Pao was wearing a dark red battle suit, with dark red gloves on his hands. He exuded a very tough aura.
Li Feng and Nan Huaijin listened carefully.
"Since you are newcomers and have just joined our demon hunting team, you don't understand many rules." Chen Pao said patiently.
"This time I have taken on a difficult level mission, and I will take you with me first."
"The mission is to go to Black Rock Island, which is more than a thousand miles north of Alcatraz Island, to retrieve the lost black rock crystal mine."
Li Feng and Nan Huaijin were both stunned when they heard this.
"Black rock crystal mine?"
Chen Pao nodded: "Yes, black rock crystal ore is a special ore. After being refined by fire, it can be integrated into weapons to enhance the toughness of weapons. It is a very popular mineral material."
"Blackstone Island is a small island with a black rock crystal mine buried inside. It was previously controlled by a second-rate family and was responsible for the excavation."
"A few days ago, the tide suddenly surged, and a group of sea monsters came up, brutally killed all the miners and guards responsible for digging the mineral veins, and occupied the Black Stone Island."
When Li Feng and Nan Huaijin heard this, their eyes suddenly widened: "What, Siren?"
"The siren is just a monster in the sea. He has never seen the world and is making a fuss." Zhang Lei sneered beside him.
Listening to Li Feng's tone, Chen Pao knew that the two newcomers must have never seen the Kraken, so he explained: "Don't worry about the Kraken, these monsters are no different from the Warcraft on land."
"Their strength is also divided from level one to level nine. They are not as scary as you think."
"The higher the level, the stronger the strength."
"The Black Rock Island we went to is located in dangerous waters, and the level of the sea monsters there is not high."
"As long as you don't encounter a high-level sea monster, there won't be much of a problem."
Li Feng understood that this was the first time that Chen Pao took them on a mission, and the purpose was to familiarize the two of them with the situation on the sea.
At the same time, there is another purpose, which is to see if the strength and talent of Li Feng and Nan Huaijin are suitable for working with them.
Before Jiang Yufeng introduced Li Feng to their Langya team, he told Chen Pao to take good care of him. He was a peerless genius and needed to be well cultivated.
Although he said so many good things, Chen Pao still had doubts about Li Feng's strength and talent.
What is there about this little guy that deserves so much attention from a nine-star warrior?
I hope it’s not just a fancy pillow, but something made of real material.
Nan Huaijin rubbed his hands and asked, "Boss, how much is the reward for our mission?"
"Call Pao Ge, there are no rules or regulations." Zhang Lei reminded him coldly from the side.
Nan Huaijin rolled his eyes, why are you everywhere?
Chen Pao said with a smile: "This time I chose a difficult mission. As long as you complete it, you can get five thousand gold coins."
Nan Huaijin exclaimed: "So many?"
Lu Tao smiled and said: "We demon hunters work with our heads up and dance on the blade. Death happens from time to time. If we can't earn this little reward, who will take the risk and work for these employers?"
Chen Pao said: "Lu Tao is right. As a profession with a transcendent status in the Senluo Sea, demon hunters have to risk their lives."
"Although the reward is high, the sea is full of dangers. If you are not strong enough, death is very common."
"The reason why so many people are willing to take risks on the sea is because of the high risks and high rewards."
“One hard work, one harvest.”
Li Feng nodded. Indeed, although the reward for the mission was high, the demon hunter was willing to risk his life.
If you encounter a life or death crisis, death can easily occur.
If you use your life to make money, of course the price will be high.
Otherwise, who would sacrifice their lives, unless they are crazy?
Li Feng said: "Do we need to prepare anything else?"
"You don't need to prepare anything. Just put on your battle clothes and weapons and set off with us." Chen Pao said with a smile.
Nan Huaijin clenched his fists and couldn't help howling: "Then let's go now, I can't wait."
Excited sounds resounded throughout the hall of the Devil's Castle, attracting countless people's attention.
"Shut up." Zhang Lei gave the other party a cold look.
Nan Huaijin rolled his eyes fiercely and asked you to take care of it.
"Let's go make some money." Chen Pao ordered with a smile, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the Devil's Castle, with the others following him.
The Wolf Fang Team, a group of five people, is a new team that is starting to go out to sea.
After leaving the Devil's Castle, the group came to the port.
There are a large number of warships moored in the harbor, and some demon hunting teams shuttle back and forth among them, making it very lively.
Chen Pao took them to a warship dedicated to the Langya team.
Their warship is about fifteen meters long and is made of dark blue metal. There are a large number of wooden boxes stacked in the cabin, which contain some daily necessities, such as food, clothes, etc. There is a leaf embroidered with a ferocious wolf floating on the mast.
The black flag flutters in the wind, quite domineering.
"Ho ho ho!"
As soon as they stepped onto the deck, Li Feng and Nan Huaijin discovered that three monsters appeared on the bow of the ship.
These monsters look like horses, crawling and playing on the sea, making roars. They are strong and covered with a layer of aqua-blue scales, which are shining.
The limbs are like sea lions, with webbed feet that can paddle freely in the sea water.
They were covered with something like a saddle, and their necks were tied with ropes. The other end was tied to the warship. I don't know what its purpose was.
"What is this?" Li Feng asked with a surprised look on his face.
Lu Tao came over and said with a smile: "You haven't seen it before, this is a seahorse!"
"Haima, is it a monster?" Li Feng opened his eyes wide and looked at this scene seriously, with a look of surprise on his face.
Lu Tao nodded and said, "Yes, this seahorse is a level five monster, a water monster."
"These seahorses are no different from war horses on land. They live in seawater all year round and breathe with their lungs. They are born with great strength and can travel thousands of miles a day."
"The character is also relatively docile. There are many forces that specialize in taming this kind of monsters and serving as mounts. They can also be used like war horses."
"It is quite popular in our world of demon hunters."
Li Feng suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it."
"Holy shit, there are actually seahorses here that can run freely in the sea. There are actually three of them?" Nan Huaijin couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the seahorses playing on the sea.
Li Feng looked at him in surprise: "Do you know this kind of monster?"
"Of course I know it. This seahorse is a relatively common water monster in the Senluo Sea. If you have such a mount."
"You can drive it and fly freely on the sea, wherever you want to go." Nan Huaijin nodded, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but be happy.
Li Feng looked confused and said: "Really? You can walk on the sea by riding it."
Lu Tao next to him said: "Yes, that's right. This seahorse is a unique kind of monster in the Senluo Sea. It has a strong body and is very capable of water. It is said that they can lurk in the water for a day and a night without taking a breath."
"The strength is astonishing. After being tamed, it can be used as a mount."
Li Feng asked curiously: "How much does it cost to buy a monster like this?"
"It ranges from ten thousand to one hundred thousand gold coins." Lu Tao said with a smile.
"Our team spent 100,000 gold coins to purchase these three seahorses."
When Li Feng heard this, he was shocked. Buying a seahorse was really expensive. Three seahorses actually cost one hundred thousand gold coins.
He asked: "We already have warships, why should we buy them?"
"Idiot, the warship is driven by these three seahorses. Otherwise, do you have to hire sailors to drive the warship?" Zhang Lei walked over with an indifferent expression and said abruptly.
When Nan Huaijin heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Hey, hey, don't think that you are arrogant because you are an old man."
"Can you speak politely?"
Zhang Lei glanced at Nan Huaijin coldly: "Whenever you are stronger than me, you can talk to me like this."
"Otherwise, you two newcomers, you'd better behave yourself."
"You!" Nan Huaijin was furious for a while.
Chen Pao came over and said in a stern tone: "Okay, stop making noise, we are a team and we need to unite as one and don't have internal conflicts all day long."
"Speaking of which, if someone stumbles me during the execution of my mission, I, Chen Pao, will never spare him."
Then, he said to Lu Tao: "Everything is ready, let's set sail."
Hearing this, Lu Tao nodded, then found a whip from the guardrail next to him, picked it up and whipped one of the seahorses on the sea hard.
There was a snap, and a harsh crackling sound filled the air.
"Ho ho ho!"
The seahorse that was drawn suddenly let out a roar.
"Ho ho!" Lu Tao held a leather whip, whipped his Adam's apple, and made a series of weird roars.
When the seahorses heard the strange noise made by Lu Tao, they immediately stopped playing and froze for a while, as if they understood what Lu Tao said.
Then he began to flap his limbs violently, stir up his flippers, paddle the water, and start running wildly.
"Boom!"
The huge warship was pulled down by three tall seahorses, shook violently, and then began to move slowly towards the exit of the harbor.
Hua la la, the water waves surged, like the roar of thunder, spreading far away.
"Hiss!"
The three seahorses ran wildly on the sea, constantly making bursts of excited roars, and their speed became faster and faster, almost galloping.
Standing on the deck, a group of members of the Langya team stood facing the wind. Feeling the nearly galloping speed of the warship, Li Feng's hair danced wildly, and a look of amazement could not help but appear on his face.
This seahorse is indeed a water monster. It can actually drive a warship weighing tens of thousands of pounds across the sea without any effort. It is really powerful.
No wonder, demon hunters tie these seahorses to warships and use them to drive the warships on the sea.
This is comparable to hiring a large group of sailors to use manpower to drive the warship. Not only is it much more labor-saving, but it can also save a lot of labor costs. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
