School flower's personal master

Chapter 4020 Trouble is coming
"Shopkeeper Hao, I haven't seen you in half a year, and you are here without any problems. With so many of you, are you planning to go to the extreme northern island?" Hong Zhong smiled and cupped his hands at the leader of the other party.

The other party, like him, is also the shopkeeper of the North Island branch of a top-level chamber of commerce. Its influence is only a little less than that of Hong's chamber of commerce. There are also large shops in the inner street of Fangshi. In the past six months, Hong Zhong had never seen him in the inner street.

Shopkeeper Hao returned a salute, and said in an indifferent and distant tone: "Shopkeeper Hong misunderstood, and everyone said that the road to the extreme northern island is not smooth. Bring more people, and you will feel more at ease."

"Really?" Hong Zhong smiled noncommittally, and wanted to ask another question, but the other party waved his hand and left at a faster pace.

"Shopkeeper Hong, is the road to the extreme northern island very dangerous and need so many people to deal with it?" Lin Yi asked at the side. After leaving the North Island area, there is a vast sea below. , That's really called every day should not be, called the earth is not working.

"Yes, in addition to the extremely bad weather, we must always be on guard against the powerful spirit beasts lurking under the sea. Many of them have ultra-long-range attack methods, so even if there are flying spirit beasts, it is difficult for ordinary practitioners to be safe. Arrived at the extreme north island." Hong Zhong nodded.

"No wonder." Lin Yi felt awe-inspiring. When he was chatting with ghosts, he had heard that the spirit beast clan on Tianjie Island certainly gathered a large number of super spirit beasts, but just like the back mountain of Beidao, other places There are still countless powerful spirit beasts entrenched, and the vast sea has always been a breeding ground for legendary creatures.

According to Gui Dongxi, even the king of spirit beasts in the heyday of that year, even if he ruled the invincible spirit beast clan, he had never conquered the endless sea. No matter how terrifying and frightening the monster appears, it will not be surprising.

"However, although the sea is dangerous, as long as there is a master in charge, don't rush randomly, and follow the map route, it is actually relatively safe. The possibility of accidents is not too high, so the previous North Island Auction They only dispatched three or four people, and it is far from necessary to have such a large formation of more than a dozen people, unless there are other reasons." Hong Zhong said thoughtfully.

Having said that, not only Hong Zhong felt strange, but even Lin Yi, a bystander, saw the abnormality. When Hong Zhong greeted the other party just now, he clearly saw dozens of boxes of goods tied to the opposite flying spirit beast. On the other hand, on my side, there are only two or three boxes in total, which is not in the same order of magnitude at all.

This is not only the case with Shopkeeper Hao, but also several other chambers of commerce. The meaning revealed in this is a bit intriguing.

It is indeed true that colleagues are enemies. Lin Yi already faintly felt that he would not be so peaceful when he took this trip to the Hong Chamber of Commerce's auction.

What Lin Yi didn't expect was that his premonition soon became reality.

A mature and prudent businessman like Hong Zhong never takes risks unless necessary. The route to the extreme northern island this time is always following the safest map route in theory.

This is a route specially designed by an expert, and it is always close to the edge of many powerful sea beast sites. The chance of being targeted by sea beasts is much lower than other routes.

Normally, not only Hong Zhong, but also other people rarely act independently. After all, there are countless terrifying sea beasts in the vast sea, and walking around randomly is simply desperate, no matter how many experts there are, it is useless.

But this time, the other people who set off from Bei Dao obviously did not play their cards according to common sense. The speed of the flying spirit beast under Lin Yi's feet was not slow, but after only a moment, they completely lost the opponent's figure.

It's just shopkeeper Hao and his family, and the other dozen or so companies also don't follow the usual path at the same time. This is too strange, and it has obviously been discussed long ago.

"What are you going to do?" At this moment, even Hong Zhong couldn't understand it. We were all in the same company. He still had some understanding of these people's minds. These people were not adventurous.

However, even if he had doubts in his heart, Hong Zhong would not be able to change his route rashly. The opponent had a large number of people, so it was somewhat worthwhile to take an unusual path, but if he followed this path, he would surely die.

For the next half an hour, there was no wind or waves all the way, but both Hong Zhong and Lin Yi could guess that this was only temporary, and it was impossible to be so calm forever.

Sure enough, amidst the strange calm, a crisis that had been brewing for a long time came suddenly.

The height of the flying spirit beast is a hundred feet above the sea surface, and there are thick clouds on the top. If it is higher than this, it is easy to lose its way, and if it is lower than this, it is easy to be attacked by sea beasts. This is the safest in theory. The limit height, but at this height, there was a surprise attack from below without warning.

"Lin Shaoxia stand firm!" Before Lin Yi could react, Hong Zhong had already raised his palm and slapped the bottom, only to hear a burst sound out of thin air, and the thin cloud and mist below suddenly exploded into a circle of spray.

"This is?" Lin Yi was secretly shocked. He didn't feel any threat from the beginning to the end, and even after watching this confrontation, he still didn't realize what was going on.

Hong Zhong explained: "These are the water arrows of the flying swordfish. They can impact and glide up to thirty or forty feet in the air, and then launch the water arrow attack. The penetrating power and lethality are amazing. In addition, the water arrows are transparent and silent. If you don't notice them, if you don't take precautions against them in advance, you will be attacked if you are not careful, which is a relatively common threat in this vast sea."

"So that's it." Hearing this, Lin Yi understood that if there was no Hong Zhong, just this water arrow would have made them all fall to the bottom of the sea and be buried in the belly of the fish.

However, before Lin Yi had time to rejoice, there was a sudden burst of murderous intent coming from below him, this time even he could feel it clearly.

Looking down, dozens of potholes have been pierced through the cloud and mist below. The water arrows that could not be easily detected at first are faintly visible in the air due to the refraction of light. Fatal, this scene simply makes one's scalp tingle.

Even Hong Zhong couldn't help his eyelids twitching when he saw this scene, and said in a deep voice, "Meeting a school of swordfish? How can you be so unlucky?"

Swordfish are very vicious and bloodthirsty sea beasts. Normally, they always act alone. Only in some special situations such as mating and courtship will they gather into schools of swordfish. Follow the regular map route and encounter flying swordfish. The odds of swordfish schools are basically equivalent to winning the lottery in the secular world.
