Chapter 431 When You Lost Your Way at Sea
After confirming the itinerary for the next village, Yao Ling politely declined Luo Haicheng's request to join him on the sea voyage to see him off.
"Village Chief, you've been away from the fishing village for more than two days now. You don't need to escort the next village. Go back to the fishing village and take charge," the demon spirit said.
Luo Haicheng nodded. He had been away from the small fishing village for two days and really needed to go back, since he needed to lead the able-bodied men in the village to fish and perform sacrificial activities.
"Alright, then I won't see you off to the next village. Brother Yao, take this seashell. It's a symbol of a guest in the small fishing village. When you get to Da'ao Village, just show it to that skinny village chief!" Luo Haicheng said, taking out a colorful seashell from his pocket.
The shell is smaller than the palm of your hand, but the stripes and colors on it are exceptionally beautiful.
The spirit nodded and accepted the seashell. He often saw this seashell in the gathering place of the sea monster balls, so it must be a collectible from the sea monster balls.
"This is the symbol of guests in my Zhulang Village!" Luo Gang also took out a large piece of light blue ox horn, which was the ox horn on the head of the Ox Horned Fish.
"So this thing is a token after all?" the demon spirit said, taking the ox horn. He had accidentally broken off the ox horn of the ox horn that was used to fight the fish, and he was thinking about how to make amends.
Luo Gang laughed twice and said, "The horns of the Ox-horned Chong fish are very useful; they can be used in medicine. Moreover, when the Ox-horned Chong fish reaches a certain age, its horns will automatically fall off and new horns will grow in!"
"I see. Then I'll accept it. Thank you for seeing me off, village chiefs!" The demon clasped his hands in greeting, helped Ye Nanxiao who was sitting on his shoulder, and then leaped down gently onto the broken-horned bull-horned fish.
"Big guy, let's go." The demon gently patted the bull-horned fish beneath it, which reluctantly responded.
The two village chiefs gradually became smaller and smaller, turning into two tiny black dots on the coastline.
"Strategist, the people in these two villages are all quite nice," Yao Ling said, reminiscing about the past two days, which she had thoroughly enjoyed.
"It's a pity it's too far from our home, otherwise I could come here to play every day, right, Big Black!" The spirit lay on the back of the bull-horned fish, feeling the sea breeze blowing.
The bullhorn-shaped bream, known as Big Black, replied reluctantly.
It sensed the presence of a kindred spirit on the demon and stopped resisting, obediently carrying the demon forward on the sea.
According to Luo Haicheng's estimate, it would take the demon spirit about two hours to reach Da'ao Village.
Plans are all imagined; that's the thought that's currently in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"Big Black! Charge! There's something over there that looks like a dog!" The demon spirit excitedly pointed to a sea spirit beast leaping out of the water to the left.
Upon hearing the demon spirit's order to charge, Dahei became energized and roared as it charged in the direction the demon spirit indicated.
The sea spirit beast, which looked like a dog, was startled by the charging bullhorned fish and scurried away with a strange cry.
"Charge!" The demon grabbed the two small broken horns on the bull-horned fish's head with both hands, and the broken horns formed a handle.
Ye Nanxiao shook his head slightly. Let these two play if they want to. After all, it's the first time the demon spirit has come to the seaside.
Ye Nanxiao adjusted his posture to make sure he wouldn't be blown away by the strong wind.
"If we're talking about symbols, Yuan Haisan's weapon is the trident, so what I need to prepare is the Holy Sword, or maybe a curry stick?"
"Having followers means performing miracles. Hmm, that's a bit tricky. We need to capture evil spirit masters, but how many big fish can Mingdu still catch is a question."
"What else does that Indian guy possess that can attract such a massive amount of faith power?"
Ye Nanxiao pondered for a while, but after thinking for a long time, he realized that this guy who was guarding the sea with a trident did not seem to have anything particularly outstanding about him.
"Something's not right, I must have missed something!"
Ye Nanxiao fell into deep thought again, and memories played out in his mind like a movie.
The legendary man whose life was recorded in various regions, especially Shrek.
"Could it be that they're trying to prevent the unification of the mainland? Something's not right, this is definitely not right. Did I miss something?"
Completely baffled, Ye Nanxiao simply tried to cool down his brain, even though a soul doesn't have body temperature.
When his consciousness returned to reality, Ye Nanxiao discovered that the demon spirit was still driving the horned bullfish to chase other sea spirit beasts, and the target was no longer the sea spirit beast that looked like a sea dog.
"Oh my, what a playful fellow," Ye Nanxiao said with a shake of his head and a laugh.
But soon, Ye Nanxiao's smile vanished. He realized that there was no longer any trace of the coastline in his sight, and all he could see was a vast ocean.
"Holy crap! Where the hell have you been?!" Ye Nanxiao slapped the demon spirit across the face.
The demon spirit perched atop his head was stunned by the slap. Hearing Ye Nanxiao's question, it replied simply, "I don't know! I was too busy chasing after it."
"Big Black! Do you know where this is?" The demon patted the horned fish beneath it.
"Moo?" The horned fish stopped, its beastly eyes filled with confusion.
"Aren't you going to chase him anymore, bro?"
The sound of bull horns clashing against fish reached the spirit's ears.
"Stop chasing! Where is this!" The demon looked around and saw no land in sight, and chuckled twice.
"We seem to have lost them, strategist!"
Ye Nanxiao sighed. He shouldn't have let those two guys go off and mess around.
"The Horned Rush Fish is a cooperative spirit beast of Zhulang Village, shouldn't it recognize this sea area?"
The demon spirit nodded and relayed Ye Nanxiao's words to Niujiaochongyu.
The bullhorn-shaped fish let out two strange cries and shook its body.
"Damn it! The Bull Horned Fish are just a bunch of brutes who only care about fighting! They rely on the people from Zhulang Village to tell them directions!" Yao Ling said with a regretful look, while secretly glancing at Ye Nanxiao out of the corner of her eye to see if he was angry.
"Holy crap! Did the village chief and Luo Gang really trust this bull-horned fish to take us to Da'ao Village?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly wondered if the two village chiefs were still drunk when they saw them off.
"Big Blackie said that the village chief told it to swim along the coastline, but we went to catch sea lions halfway through, and the coastline disappeared!" The spirit scratched its head and skillfully brought its face close to Ye Nanxiao's leaf.
Ye Nanxiao slapped the demon spirit across the face without any mercy. "If you liked drifting, I'd build you a pool to float in! What are we going to do now?!"
Rubbing his face, the demon spirit looked around, pondered for a while, took out a small wooden stick from his storage soul tool, made a mark on one end, and then threw it onto the sea.
"After my fervent prayers, the charlatan will guide us!" the demon spirit said, giving up the struggle and deceiving itself.
"At least we have a direction, so we won't starve to death at sea." Ye Nanxiao had no choice. The sun was blocked by clouds, and on this boundless ocean, he had no way to determine his direction.
After indicating a direction, the bullhorn-headed fish swam forward quickly.
"Remember to move closer when you see land!" Ye Nanxiao repeatedly reminded the demon spirit before falling into deep thought again.
The demon's eyes scanned the entire sea surface, silently chanting, "Get closer to land! Get closer!"
Normally, the demon spirit is carefree and irresponsible, but once it angers Ye Nanxiao, it becomes unusually nervous.
After swimming rapidly for an unknown amount of time, the demon suddenly spotted a small black dot on the surface of the sea and immediately ordered the horned fish to rush over.
After swimming aimlessly for so long, the bullhorn-headed fish finally found its target. It let out an excited roar, vigorously swung its tail, and charged towards the small black dot like a fish.
"Charge!" The spirit had been floating on the sea for so long and was already longing for the feeling of having its feet on solid ground.
Sensing the demon spirit's excitement, Ye Nanxiao quickly snapped out of his reverie, fearing that the demon spirit might have run off to chase some sea spirit beast again.
A dark, island-like shape appeared in his field of vision, and Ye Nanxiao realized that this was the reason for the demon spirit's excitement.
As the bullhorn-shaped fish drew closer, the dark shape revealed itself to be a small, floating island.
"At least we've found land. Let's rest for a while; this sea breeze is drying me out," Ye Nanxiao comforted himself.
The bullhorn-shaped fish suddenly let out a long roar and then sped up.
"What's going on?" Ye Nanxiao noticed the unusual behavior of the bullhorn fish, as if it had been injected with chicken blood.
"Big Black says there's something on the island that's very attractive to it!" The demon spirit covered its hands with a layer of black shadow. Based on past experience, things that exude attraction are likely to be accompanied by trouble.
"A deserted island in the ocean, how could it possibly contain rare treasures? Our luck isn't so good today, we've run into trouble." Ye Nanxiao floated out of the Spirit Blooming Grass, his soul power wrapping around him.
As the Bull Horned Fish accelerated out of control, the demon spirit and Ye Nanxiao could see the scenery on the island: jagged rocks and a humanoid creature sitting on one of them.
A strange song drifted over, prompting Ye Nanxiao to quickly erect a barrier around his soul.
"Wow! What a wonderful song!" The spirit was momentarily dazed.
The humanoid creature seemed to notice the rapid approach of the horned fish and became flustered.
Ye Nanxiao looked closely and saw that it was a human woman lying on a rock.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao and the demon spirit, the woman panicked and waved her hands frantically in front of her, creating a series of transparent bubbles.
"Hey! Ah! Don't come any closer!" The woman's voice was clear and crisp, yet incredibly penetrating.
The previously out-of-control bullhead bream suddenly stopped.
The demon spirit, carrying Ye Nanxiao, leaped up and left the Bull Horned Fish.
Since the bull-horned fish went out of control but miraculously stopped obeying, it has most likely been brought under control.
The demon landed on a reef, its body shrouded in black shadows, its right hand transforming into a black claw.
After seeing the woman's full appearance, Ye Nanxiao and Yao Ling were both stunned.
The human woman before me had a long, slender fish tail!
