Chapter 416
How dare you ask for such a high price!
This price can buy your life!
"Okay, let's go now at this price." Chen Jing agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that he agreed so straightforwardly, the fish stall owner couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and went to prepare the fishing boats that Chen Jing and his team needed.
"The fishing boat is parked at the port?" Chen Jing asked curiously, "Is it the red one?"
"Yes." The fish stall owner nodded.
"Where is the old John you mentioned?" Chen Jing looked around and found that there were no other natives near the fish stall. "Do we need to wait for him?"
"No." The fish stall owner rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the port, saying without looking back, "Old John is me, I am Old John, I am the best captain in this town, no doubt... Believe me, I will give you a wonderful sea experience!"
Chapter 580 News from the Prologue (Part 1)
Seeing another huge wave coming towards him, Chen Jing subconsciously grabbed the wooden pole on the edge of the boat with his hands. The violent and bumpy ride was completely different from the "wonderful sea experience" that Old John said.
Damn, I was cheated.
This sentence kept appearing in Chen Jing's mind, flashing back and forth like a brainwashing bullet screen. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for the reward of one kilogram of filth, but... I'll get it back later.
Before setting off, Hasad did not mention the settlement method of the reward, but just let Chen Jing and his team act according to circumstances. After all, these people of Dagon are famous for their love of extortion, and it is not surprising that they ask for some "relics" as compensation.
Facts have proved that Hasad is an empiricist.
What he said is not an exaggeration.
The fish stall owner named Old John really asked for a lion's mouth, and he asked for a price that could buy his life.
"The filth in the inner world is equivalent to the gold that constitutes the gold standard of the outer world, but its value should be heavier than gold. One kilogram of filth... converted into the currency of the outer world is between five million and eight million, and it can buy two or three pretty good relics in the Evernight City."
Chen Jing calculated the value of this kilogram of filth in his mind.
Although he usually has no place to spend money, and the old man's small treasury is enough for him to squander, it does feel bad to be extorted.
So from the moment he took out 500 grams of filth as a prepayment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Old John became a little strange. If it wasn't for the only route to Inboga, he really wanted to kill this fish man and change the ship to Inboga.
"Sure enough, the old man didn't scare me... The sequence power will be greatly restricted in this sea..." Chen Jing couldn't help sighing again, because he had tried to use deep space jump behind the deck before, but it was a short-distance deep space fixed-point jump of no more than one meter.
What was the result?
A distance of one meter had a lateral deviation of two meters.
If he didn't listen to the old man and used deep space jump directly to Inboga, it would probably go astray...
"Fuck you! Can you drive more steadily!"
Chen Bofu's cursing came from the cabin, accompanied by the sound of unstoppable dry retching, which showed that the old man really had a problem with seasickness.
"I'm already very stable."
Old John was also in the cabin, smacking his lips while talking and smoking his pipe... To be honest, Chen Jing thought they were quite a good match, because through the glass of the cabin, Chen Jing could no longer see the scenery inside, and it was all white and thick smoke.
Letting these two chimneys get together inside can make Chen Jing feel much more peaceful.
As long as it stops raining.
"I am the best captain of Bruna, and my boat is also famous for being fast and stable. If you think this is bumpy... you might have vomited to death on other people's boats."
Just when Chen Bofu was about to curse, Chen Jing pushed open the heavy wooden door and walked into the cabin. He calmly gave the old man a look, indicating that he should not be angry with this fish man.
"To be honest, I admire you."
Old John held his pipe in his mouth and took a sip from the wine pot beside him. The strong smell of alcohol was mixed with a choking fishy smell, as if he had drunk a mouthful of mucus from a sea fish.
"One old and one young."
"Two Sequence 2 descendants dare to come to the Sea of the Past."
"Although Inboga is relatively safe, there are many descendants who are willing to take risks. If you run into those unethical descendants, you will be in trouble."
Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but become curious, but his eyes outside the mask remained silent, and he calmly stared at Old John at the helm.
"Imboga is different from Bruna? Are there many outsiders there?"
"Yes." Old John took another sip of wine, looked back at Chen Jing, and then turned back to continue looking at the stormy waves ahead, "Since a year ago, many outsiders have come to Imboga. They always go back and forth in the sea near Imboga, as if they are looking for some ancient ruins..."
"Ancient ruins?" Chen Jing was stunned, thinking that it shouldn't be such a coincidence, the ancient ruins they are looking for can't be the one he is looking for...
"There are no ancient ruins there." Old John said coldly, "As the people of Dagon, we know this sea area better than anyone else. Imboga is just a small island with a relatively comfortable climate. The sea nearby is... Forget it, why am I telling you this."
As soon as the voice fell, Old John suddenly said something meaningful.
"To be honest, with the strength of both of you, grandfather and grandson, something will definitely happen if you go to Yinbojia. Otherwise, don't go..."
As soon as he arrived at the coast, Chen Jing used a certain power he inherited from King Huang to suppress his own aura and that of the old man.
At least in the eyes of these natives, their Sequence 2 disguised identity is perfect. If you want to know their true identity, you will have to be one level higher than them...
So Old John always looked at them like fat sheep.
Even though Old John's face was the same as that of other natives, with a tight expression and no other expression, Chen Jing could still detect that malicious feeling...
"I told you that I have something to do in Inboga, but you don't understand or something?" Chen Bofu, who was lying on the wooden chair, cursed, and then couldn't help but retched a few times, showing symptoms of seasickness. It made his already not very good mood even worse.
"You inland people are just not polite." Old John took a puff from his pipe and said without looking back, "It's better to be careful when you come to the Sea of Old. You can easily offend people by talking like this. "
Hearing this, Chen Bofu sneered and prepared to get up from the chair, but in the end, Chen Jing gently patted his shoulder to persuade him to go back.
"Those outsiders from Inboga have been there for a year?" Chen Jing changed the topic, stood up and walked towards Old John, "They have been searching for so long and still can't find the ancient ruins?"
"Not found." Old John replied without hesitation, "And I can tell you clearly that there are no ancient ruins in that place at all, and their efforts were just in vain... But it is understandable that there are always people who are interested in this place. The sea held endless expectations, as if their dreams were sleeping under the sea, but in the end it was all in vain. "
Chen Jing has now walked to Old John, looking side by side at the gray sea ahead.
Endless rain.
Rough seas.
No matter how you look at it, this all feels unlucky.
Especially after being away from land.
It seems that everything will disappear completely in this gray fog that lingers all year round.
"Don't you consider my proposal?" Old John held his pipe in his mouth and looked at Chen Jing from the reflection in the glass. "Don't go to Yinbojia. Listen to Old John and go back. I'll treat you to fish."
Chen Jing was feeling in his heart that the old man was right. It was really uncomfortable to sit on a small fishing boat and drift with the tide.
Hearing Old John's sudden "suggestion", he declined it very politely and asked a question with interest.
"Actually, you didn't plan to take us to Inboga in the first place, right?"
"How did you tell?" Old John asked curiously, slowly removing his hands from the steering wheel.
"I heard it."
Chen Jing raised his finger and pointed at his ears.
"Every word you say reeks of lies."
Chapter 581 News from the prelude (Part 2)
Old John is the most powerful descendant in Bruna Fishing Town.
this conclusion.
It was Chen Jing who came out of town.
Although from the outside, the old man looked shriveled and a little weak, not as strong as the porters they met on the road, the aura he exuded was the most dangerous among all the natives... But that's all. .
An ancient descendant of Sequence Four.
What can be done?
"Take us in circles on the sea...well, it's almost thirty-four minutes. Do you really think we can't tell?"
"Since you have such a keen eye, little guy, I hope you can keep this eye-sight..."
Old John was holding his pipe in his mouth and irrationally chose to be in trouble.
"Give me all the relics on your body, including the relics you use for self-defense. Don't say you don't have any. You rich inland people can't go out without your relics."
"Look, let's just say this bastard wants to make money!" Chen Bofu was still curled up on the wooden chair with a blanket on his back. His symptoms of seasickness still hadn't improved, but that didn't stop him from vomiting and killing people at the same time.
"I thought he wasn't that stupid..." Chen Jing said helplessly, and then looked at the strange-looking old John in front of him, "You guys who are in the service industry are so evil, don't you even have a brain? Like us The old descendant who spends money like water...are you sure you want to offend me?"
"The weak eats the strong, there is nothing that can't be offended."
Old John seemed to be very experienced in this. His stiff and lifeless face showed a human expression for the first time... His thick lips rolled up to both sides to reveal dirty gums, and his mouth was full of teeth as sharp as steel needles. People shuddered, and he showed an extremely sarcastic smile.
"You must be from a certain sect, right? Or a large business group wandering in the wasteland? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to spend so much money generously."
As he spoke, Old John laughed heartily, and the sarcastic expression on his wrinkled and ugly face like a deformed catfish became more and more ferocious.
"You should have used some kind of relic to cover up your scent. At least I can't smell your details..."
"Since you know that we cover up our aura...how dare you play like this?" Chen Jing looked at him in surprise, only wondering if there was something wrong with this old guy's brain.
"How strong can you be?" Old John asked back, his words full of unspeakable contempt, "Although my strength is only Sequence 4, I am a Dagon's people after all. As long as I sail in this sea area, I will get help from Dagon's family..."
At this point, Old John's expression became more ferocious.
"No one can kill me below Sequence 7."
"Oh?"
When Chen Bofu heard this, he became interested. He resisted the feeling of retching again and turned over from the wooden chair with a blanket on his head.
"You mean, Sequence 6 can't beat you?"
"..."
This question stumped Old John. Chen Jing could see the word "embarrassment" in capital letters from his fishy face.
"You should be in the same group with that woman."
"Which woman?" Chen Jing asked hurriedly.
"Those bastards who occupied Inboga... and the woman who waved the chains and sentenced us for breaking the order..." Old John gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Besides them, you are the only ones who want to go to Inboga this year."
Waving chains...
Judging others for breaking the order...
This old man should be talking about Sequence Night, right? !
Chen Jing looked at the old man in surprise, thinking that they were quick enough. Judging from the meaning of this fish man, they seem to have occupied the island of Inboga? ?
"She is the strongest outsider I have ever seen... The strength of Sequence Six is indeed terrible... but it can't hurt me..." Old John sneered, "From the time you asked me to rent a boat to go to Inboga... I felt that you were in the same group..."
"We are in the same group." Chen Bofu put out the half-smoked cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile, "I am also Sequence Six."
For a moment.
Old John was silent.
"Although I have never been to the inland, I also know that the descendants of Sequence Six are rare in the inland..." Old John sneered, "Don't try to scare me with this."
At this moment, Chen Jing found that the fishing boat that had been drifting with the current had stopped. No matter how terrible the raging waves around him were, there was no bumping in the cabin. It was as stable as if it had left the sea and was placed on land...
Gradually.
Chen Jing heard a lot of rustling sounds.
"It seems that something is climbing up along the hull..." Chen Jing still stood beside Old John, not afraid that he would suddenly attack him.
Through the glass of the cabin covered with dirty marks, Chen Jing vaguely saw some low figures climbing onto the fishing boat, jumping and landing on the deck with a dull sound.
They are an abnormal creature similar to arthropods, about 1.5 meters long, and can prop up their bodies like snakes... Although Chen Jing didn't want to admit it, those things really looked like one of Chen Jing's favorite seafood, mantis shrimp.
After the dozen deformed mantis shrimps flipped onto the deck, they immediately crawled towards the cabin door, paddling quickly with their strange feet like human arms, making the wooden deck creak.
"My dear grandson, do you want to eat seafood?"
"These... these things look unhealthy."
"Who cares if they are healthy or not, as long as they taste good!"
