Nine leaves of Douluo

Chapter 68
The convoy moved slowly, Ye Jiu and Zhu Zhuqing were sitting on the shelf of the last car chatting with an old soul master.

After leaving the Nether Duke's Mansion, the two played in Star Dou City for a while, and then officially started the second training according to the plan.

During this process, Ye Jiu also got some other news.

Dai Mubai returned to the Star Luo Empire after the All-Continent Classic.Although Davis was eliminated by Ye Jiu before he had time to fight against Dai Mubai, the Shrek Academy where Dai Mubai belonged finally achieved the No.2 result.

This result far surpassed the Star Luo Royal Academy led by Davis. After all, they didn't even make it to the finals.

The competition for the successors of the Star Luo Empire's royal family is so cruel. Don't ask the process, don't ask the reason, just look at the final result.

And the final result is that Dai Mubai's achievements surpassed that of his elder brother Davis, so he can naturally replace Davis.

But Dai Mubai gave up the right to inherit the emperor's throne in exchange for his own freedom.

According to what Ye Jiu heard, Dai Mubai claims that he is not suitable to be emperor, what he pursues is greater power.

If Dai Mubai really said that, Ye Jiu could guess the reason why the royal family agreed to him.

Davis has performed quite well as an heir in recent years, and Dai Mubai has also shown his potential and talent.

Dai Mubai's decision not only allowed both of them to be preserved, maybe in the future he could also get a wise emperor and a powerful guardian.

How could those who put the interests of the royal family first refuse to agree to such a good thing.

But these are indifferent to Ye Jiu.Dai Mubai was also a little self-conscious, he didn't appear in front of Ye Jiu and the two of them during the days they stayed in Xingluo City.

It was precisely because there were no disturbing people that the two of them could be so comfortable in Star Luo City these few days.

And the two of them didn't just care about having fun, they also arranged the next itinerary by the way.

Different from the previous experience, Shi Hao instructed the brothers to do more listening and watching.

So the two did not rush alone, but joined a soul master mercenary team and set off with the team.

Regardless of the fact that most of the characters appearing in the original work pursue personal strength.Even the Shrek Seven Devils didn't have many team battles after the All-Continent Elite Tournament.

After all, a team must at least ensure that everyone's strength is equal in order to cooperate with each other in fighting.When Tang San's strength surpassed others by too much, others could help him less, on the contrary they might hinder him.

But among ordinary soul masters, team battles are common.Especially for ordinary soul masters, they don't have the resources of a big family, and even their martial arts are mediocre.So they can only hug together to keep warm.

The mercenary squad was created under such circumstances.

However, unlike the best team configuration identified by the upper-level soul masters, the size of a general mercenary team ranges from a dozen or even dozens of people.

The purpose of setting up this kind of team is of course to make money.After all, after the fourth ring, the Wuhun Temple will no longer issue subsidies, and soul masters need gold soul coins to survive and continue to practice.

The team's business is also very extensive, but the most important business is of course leading people to hunt for spirit rings.

Civilian soul masters are different from soul masters with sects or families, they don't have a teacher to accompany them to hunt for soul rings.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary soul masters to hunt and kill soul beasts by themselves like Huangzong disciples.

Based on the comparison of the combat power of soul masters and soul beasts, in order to obtain a soul ring that suits one's wishes, a team of more than five people is generally required to hunt and kill the corresponding soul beast.

And in order to ensure the safety in the soul beast gathering area, at least a team of ten people is needed to take care of them.

Most of the gold soul coins earned by commoner soul masters are also spent on hiring teams to hunt for soul rings.

Of course, more civilians will also choose to join the squad, so that not only can the money be exempted, but it can also be used as a means of making a living.

Of course, each team has different requirements, and it is not unlimited.

Hunting spirit rings for protectors is only one of the tasks of the mercenary team. Like searching for people and objects, the work team of the escort caravan also takes over.

This time, Ye Jiu's team was protecting a caravan heading south from Xingluo City, and Ye Jiu decided to join because the route was suitable.

The original book did not mention the relevant situation, only mentioned that Oscar had related experiences during the five-year agreement.Ye Jiu only got these details from the mouth of the old soul master beside him.

This old soul master is quite talkative and kind.Probably because of Ye Jiu's extraordinary temperament, he regarded them as young people from a big family who came out to experience, so he usually took care of them and taught them a lot of experience that Ye Jiu didn't know.

Although the old soul master's cultivation base is only three rings, he is at the bottom of the entire team.However, regardless of the customs and customs of various places, people are very familiar with the precautions when hunting soul beasts.

In such a team of low-level soul masters, experience is often more important than strength.So the rest of the team also respect the old soul master,
Ye Jiu and the others also called him Old He Uncle like everyone else, and didn't ask him what his specific name was.

Ye Jiu was a little surprised and said: "Old Uncle He, you have even been out at sea!"

Old Uncle He smiled and said: "Why, I look down on you, Old Uncle He, a little soul master with three rings! Isn't it just going to sea, what's so strange about going there?"

Ye Jiu handed over a jug and said, "Old Uncle He, please tell me, I haven't seen the sea yet!"

Ye Jiu is very curious, the sea is a must stop in his travel plan, why not do it if he can learn something first in the boring itinerary!

Ye Jiu was also very curious about Old Uncle He's experience of going to sea.

You must know that the sea, the Star Dou Great Forest, and the extreme north are also known as the three gathering places for soul beasts, and the deep sea is an absolute forbidden area that soul masters cannot set foot in.

If the core area of ​​the Star Dou Forest was too strong because of the strength of individual soul beasts, the extreme north was called the restricted area for soul masters because of its severe cold weather.

The sea is because of two reasons, the environment and the soul beast, so that humans cannot approach it.

The first is the environment. The physiological structure of human beings is destined not to adapt to the sea.Even sea soul masters don't say they can survive in the sea.After all, without soul power, sea soul masters can only breathe in the air.

Then there are soul beasts, the number of soul beasts in the sea is not comparable to that on land.The area of ​​the sea is already vast, much larger than the sum of the Star Dou Forest and the Extreme North.

Moreover, the sea is a three-dimensional environment, and the same area is divided into shallow sea, deep sea, sea abyss and other areas.

In addition, soul masters cannot enter the deep sea to hunt and kill soul beasts, so the number and quality of soul beasts in the sea exceed that of land soul beasts.

Ye Jiu once asked Shi Hao, which is more powerful, the soul beast hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest or the deep sea.

The answer Shi Hao gave was that if the super-standard soul beast hidden in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest is not counted, even if the extreme north is added, the sea soul beast is even stronger.

Only then did Ye Jiu understand how dangerous the sea is, but he was also very curious about what Old Uncle He said.

Old Uncle He took the jug handed over by Ye Jiu, put it in his mouth and took a sip before talking about sex, and said, "That time was the same as this time, and I also took the job of escorting a caravan. To buy a batch of pearls, so we went to the beach together.

Unfortunately, the quantity bought at the seaside was not enough, so I had to go to a small island to buy directly from pearl divers. "

"Pearl divers? What's that?"

As a qualified listener, you must not only listen carefully, but also know how to continue the topic without being cold.What's more, the old Uncle He had never heard of Ye Jiu, so he asked curiously.

Old Uncle He smiled and said, "Silly boy, do you think anyone can pick pearls?
Good-quality pearls can only be produced by clam-like soul beasts in the sea, and the longer the age of the clam-like soul beasts, the better the pearls produced.

The pearls produced by the ten thousand year soul beast have the powerful effect of stabilizing the soul power and nourishing the spirit.But even the best pearl divers seldom come across such treasures.

Even thousand-year-old pearls are in short supply. Most of the pearls on the market are ten-year-old pearls, and century-old pearls also appear from time to time. "

After taking another sip of wine, Old Uncle He continued: "Pearl divers are those who go to sea to collect pearls.

Not everyone can do this job. Generally, pearl divers are fish martial soul and sea soul masters with three rings or above.

These sea soul masters enter the sea after being possessed by their martial souls, and use a special herbal medicine they carry to make the clam soul beasts open their shells and enter a state similar to drunkenness. "

Ye Jiu smiled and said, "Sounds pretty simple!"

Old Uncle He's face was heavy instead, and he said, "Simple, there is no such thing as simple. After all, they are soul beasts, and the bead divers may wake up those soul beasts if they are not careful. If you don't take the pearl, you will keep your life.

In the village of pearl fishers we went to, more than a dozen pearl fishers died in the sea every year, and even the bodies were never found! "

As far as Ye Jiuguang could imagine, a small village located on an island had no other way of making a living except pearl fishing.But every pearl fishing is unpredictable, how cruel it is.

Sighing, the old Uncle He continued: "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about our going out to sea! We went out to sea by boat at the port. The boat was really big, and it was not comparable to the boats we made on the river. .

But then a sailor I met on the boat told me that the boats we took were all small and could only travel offshore.If it entered the deep sea, it wouldn't be able to withstand a light bump from those large sea spirit beasts.Not to mention storms and waves, any one of them can swallow the whole ship.

Later, we caught a two-person iron-fin marlin on the boat and stewed it that day. It was so fresh that I almost swallowed it with my tongue. "

Ye Jiu also salivated, even if Ye Jiu had never seen the sea in his previous life, the seafood he ate was brought from the sea.

Hearing people say that the seafood eaten at the beach is completely different from the one shipped inland, Ye Jiu made up his mind that he must eat seafood once when he goes to the beach.

Old Uncle He couldn't help laughing when he saw Ye Jiu swallowing his saliva, and said, "You must be hungry too! But catching such a good fish depends on luck, even my sailor friend said that Good luck at sea.

Not only did we catch big fish, but we didn't encounter wandering sea spirit beasts, nor did we encounter pirates.The most important thing is that the weather along the way did not embarrass us. "

Ye Jiu nodded in agreement, it is easy to encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters when going out to sea.That is one of the most common dangers of sea soul beasts that don't know when they appear from the sea.

Not only spirit beasts, but humans are also a threat.Those pirates are wandering in the sea, fighting to the death with the sea and human beings.

There was nothing romantic about that. Pirates had long seen life clearly, whether it was someone else's or their own.They are greedy, vicious, and cruel, as if all the evils of human beings have been concentrated.

It might be worse to meet them or meet a soul beast.

But the most terrifying thing is natural disasters, whether it is storms or hurricanes, as well as undercurrents and tsunamis, all of which will infinitely reduce the possibility of human survival.

If you can deal with sea spirit beasts or pirates with strength, then you can only resign yourself to natural disasters.

Hearing Old Uncle He continue to narrate what he saw and heard about that trip to the sea, Ye Jiu's thoughts on going to the sea became more profound.

In the end, Old Uncle He seemed to see what Ye Jiu was thinking, and said, "You are lucky. I heard from the captain that after completing the task of escorting the caravan, he will go west to Keluo City by the sea. Then you will be able to see the real sea with your own eyes."

Hearing Old Uncle He's words, Ye Jiu had a look of anticipation in his eyes.
