There are frequent trade and many merchant ships sailing on the green lake. These merchant ships are hung with various flags. These flags are their amulets, because these flags are obtained only after paying protection fees to the four overlords of the green lake. Once the merchant ships without these flags sail on the green lake, they will be attacked.
Only merchant ships with these flags can sail safely on the green lake.
Li Mu and Xia Li are on such a merchant ship. The merchant ship is quite huge. It is about 80-90 meters long and 20 meters wide. There are goods in the bottom and middle layers. Only the upper layer carries passengers. The green lake is huge. If they cross by boat, it will take at least half a month to go from one end to the other.
If it is against the wind, it will take at least 20 days, or a month to cross. Then, when it is against the current, merchant ships can enter the river connecting Qinghu. As long as the protection fee is paid, the route will be relatively safe.
But now the ship has gradually abandoned the mechanical power, because now the metal is not only easy to rust, the most important thing is that it can not be repaired, and there are no parts at all. Once the power is damaged, the whole ship will have no power at all. Therefore, today's ships generally burn the law array, such as wind system law array drive, and then assist manual work. The speed may not be very fast, but it is definitely not slow.
Take this ship as an example. It has not only a wind driven array, but also a protective array, which is mainly to prevent some hungry monsters from attacking. After all, although the four overlords of Qinghu have regulations not to attack commercial ships with flags, there are still some irregular monsters attacking commercial ships occasionally.
Some monsters have low intelligence and no brain. They can do anything when they are hungry and anxious.
Li Mu and Xia Li boarded the merchant ship at night. The merchant ship soon took back its anchor and set out. Under the moon night, the huge merchant ship sailed directly to the dark giant lake.
Some ship lights can be seen occasionally in the distance. Other merchant ships are moving. On the deck, Li Mu and Xia Li are standing in the bow. There are cool winds at the bow. A smell of wet lake water is mixed with the night wind. Not far away, a huge painting boat is slowly passing by.
"Look, everyone, that's the gold selling cave. It is said that this huge ship was transformed with an ocean liner. Except for the giants, the rich and powerful, ordinary people are not qualified to board. There are the most beautiful beauties, the most beautiful banshees, and even mermaids in the distant sea!"
"There are not only beauties on the ship, but also gambling. All kinds of great elixirs, rare miracles, rare minerals and treasures of the demon family may appear. Many human tycoons and great demons gamble. They win or lose overnight. Many people say that the ship is heaven. Big people come from all over the world to board the ship every day!"
"Oh, I really envy you. If only I could board this gold selling cave one day!" A dark faced middle-aged man looked at the huge ship not far away and said with envy.
"There is such a place. It's really a place outside the law!" Li Mu said to himself with a flash of inexplicable light in his eyes.
Now the whole world is rotten, and most people are struggling to survive, but I didn't expect that some people have begun to enjoy such luxury and crazy.
Perhaps this is the truth of the world. People live on the earth, the same earth, different worlds.
"There is a strong protective array on this ship. Even I have to attack many times to break it!" Xia Li looked at the huge ship and suddenly said.
"The more rich, the more afraid of death. Even behind this ship, there are four overlords of Qinghu!" Li Mu said he suspected that the ship was actually used by the big demon in Qinghu lake to exchange or sell some rare items, because only similar things can be used as huge gambling money.
On the green lake, it is useless to rely on the protection provided by the green lake fortress alone. Even the ship is not the protection provided by the green lake fortress at all. Only the protection provided by the four overlords of the green lake can make the giant ship unobstructed on the green lake.
"You see, the giant demon turned over!"
At this time, there was a sudden cry on the deck. The people looked over and saw a huge fish slowly turning its body in the water and setting off a huge spray in the moonlight.
The giant fish is not even much smaller than the giant ship not far away.
The water demon appeared and disappeared from time to time. There was darkness on the lake, and a little light appeared occasionally, and then disappeared quickly. At the same time, not long after the merchant ship entered the depths of the lake, a middle-aged man with a turtle shell on his back appeared under the water. At the foot of the middle-aged man, there were two huge eyes, each of which seemed to be the size of a small car.
Occasionally, thick tentacles flash across the lake, stirring the lake and setting off bursts of undercurrent. At the foot of the prime minister, there is a huge octopus. Li Mu, a freshwater octopus, has never seen it.
"The boy is sitting in the boat of Ao's family. If he lifts the boat, it will lose the face of Ao's family!" Prime Minister GUI looked at the flag hanging on the ship. His face was a little ugly. If the merchant ship protected by another family was lifted, it would be lifted. But the ship was paid for the protection fee of Ao family, so it was lifted. That was to hit Ao family's face. It was found out that the old dragon king must punish it.
"But the boy said he was going to the town demon army to report. He might go to Sifang Island, but the ship doesn't stop at Sifang island. He will only load some goods from the lake at Nanwan wharf. Then the boy will have to get off the ship and deal with the boy there!"
Prime Minister GUI thought about it and immediately had an idea.
"Go, keep following them. You dive to the bottom and don't let them find it!" The prime minister stamped on the head of the giant octopus and ordered the giant octopus.
The giant octopus's huge eyes moved slightly, and then slowly dived into the green lake.
As soon as the giant octopus sank, the surrounding water demons immediately dispersed. No one, big or small, dared to stay near the giant octopus.
One day later, the merchant ships docked at Nanwan wharf, which is the wharf of the demon family. All the people working here are mackerels. When the ship arrived, these mackerels carried a lot of prepared wooden boxes onto the ship. The wooden boxes are full of some special water plants dried in the sun. These water plants can be used for alchemy and medicine. If they are transported thousands of miles away, they will make huge profits.
Li Mu gets off the boat at Nanwan wharf, and then takes a boat with Xia Li to approach Sifang island. Flying is not allowed above the green lake, but flying rashly is very vulnerable to the attack of monsters. Li Mu doesn't want to make trouble now, so he can talk about it after arriving at Sifang Island.
"Sifang island is about forty or fifty miles away from here. It is heavily guarded. It is a frontier base that the demon army of the town fought hard three years ago. It can be regarded as a nail inserted into the green lake. However, when you get there, you must return to the demon refining tower. Otherwise, people will see that you are also a demon clan and will be in trouble!"
Li Mu said that Xia Li's strength is very strong and her evil spirit is also very weak. She can restrain the evil spirit. Ordinary people can't see it at all, but everything is just in case. If Xia Li's identity is seen through, once she starts, Li Mu will fall into a dilemma.
What's more, there is only one letter of recommendation for Xiaorong fish in Li Mu's hand. Li Mu's sudden passing with a person who doesn't know his origin is bound to be subject to strict review and increase the chance of exposure. There's no need to take this risk.
Xia Li frowned. The environment in the demon refining tower was really bad, but there was no way. She was not so picky.
When Li Mu saw Xia Li, he didn't object, and he didn't say any more. He directly urged the boat to approach Sifang island. The boat was that Li Mu had bought it, and there was no boatman on the boat. It was all driven and controlled by Li Mu's strength, and moved forward rapidly.
But Li Mu was so strong that he urged the boat to ride the wind and waves on the green lake like a speedboat.
"Wow!"
But not long after leaving Nanwan, a huge shadow suddenly appeared under the water in front of the boat, and then a huge terrible tentacle suddenly appeared under the water. The tentacle was like a tall tower, which was so thick that the part exposed to the water was more than 100 meters long.
"Boom!"
As soon as the tentacle appeared, he patted the boat directly. As soon as Li Mu's face changed, he immediately flashed out with Xia Li. They were attacked by the water demon.
