The sword is the devil

Chapter 320
Hou Tiao remained calm, "It's very quiet, maybe it's because it's a bit remote?"

Duanmu Xiao and Li E looked at each other, and they already had a judgment in their minds; they had practiced in the Lizhi Sea for a long time, their sources of news were mixed, their contacts were extensive, and they had their own methods no matter if it was a formal channel or a crooked way.

They have heard about the situation here on Crab Claw Island, and it is related to the two pirates who often operate in the nearby waters - Black and White Shuangsha.

But their news is rather vague, and they can't be sure. Looking at the meaning of this Junior Brother Hou, it is obvious that he doesn't care;

All they have to do is to remind and warn, help pave the road in the surrounding sea area, and leave the contact information in case of emergency; the rest can only be relied on by the monks themselves, which is the meaning of the monks coming here.

Crab Claw Island itself has nothing to see. It has been seen by countless monks thousands of times. There is no secret, and there is no opportunity for treasure. It is ordinary, just like most islands.

The Sea Clan did not have the habit of saving their treasures for humans to pick them up.

Duanmu Xiao and Li E didn't go to the island at all, but took Hou Niao around the island; after a few turns, they landed on a bare-exposed reef somewhere outside Xie Claw Island,
This is a small reef group composed of more than a dozen tabletop-sized reefs. Around the Crab Claw Island, there are still many such reef groups.

Li Er stretched out his hand to wipe the reef, sniffed it between his nose, the two looked at each other, nodded,

Duan Muzhen pointed to the bottom of his feet, "There are often sea monsters appearing here, did Junior Brother Hou pay attention?"

Hou Tiao was taken aback and blushed a lot, but he is not someone who refuses to admit defeat, "Never."

Duan Muzhen nodded, the Sea Clan lingered around the islands, it was nothing new in Li Zhihai.It does not mean that there must be some conspiracy. In fact, peaceful coexistence is the norm.

But there can be peace between humans and monsters, but you must have knowledge, and the ignorant who can't be confused are fearless.

Li E smoothed things over, "The aura is very weak, and the realm is not high, and it's not easy for us to identify it. It's reasonable to wait for the younger brother to come here for the first time, and he doesn't know the sea conditions, so it's reasonable to miss it occasionally."

A white face and a red face, the cooperation is very tacit,
Duanmu Xiao snorted, "Let's not talk about the Beichang waterway, how can you allow others to snore beside your bed around Crab Island? This is not a question of whether you can do it, but a question of not doing your best.

What, do you need us to find it out for you? "

Hou Tiao was ashamed, "Thank you brother for your guidance, I'll do it myself."

Duan Muxuan changed his subject, "Sulfur Rock Island and Dazhou Island to the east of Crab Island, Immortal Island to the south, Yunwu Island, and Gufeng Island to the north, these island owners are not from my Quanzhen sect, but They can be regarded as friends, I have already greeted them, if you have nothing to do in your spare time, you can walk around, see more, it is not a bad thing to meet a few friends."

Hou Tiao accepts education with an open mind, this is the topic; the so-called single tree does not make a forest, and a flower does not make a spring, relying on him to get acquainted with many parties and manage it, it took a long time, and people may not be in the mood to get acquainted with him.

He is now at the critical moment of his practice, and he can't spare so much time to expand his network, so this brother Duanmu looks bossy, but his face is cold and his heart is warm, and he still takes good care of the juniors below.

There are not only these few islands around Xie Claw Island, but there are even a few closer ones. Duanmu Xun didn't mention it, so he hinted at something.

One must have comprehension in practice, one must be able to infer other things from one instance, listen to a word from others, and compose one in one's mind. This is the basic skill for living.

Before leaving, Li E said very euphemistically, "Junior brother, my generation of sword cultivators travels the world, the sharpness of the sword is the basis, but the strength of the cultivation base is the root, which determines too many aspects;

It can be said that from swordsmanship to escape to various subsidies, all need cultivation to support.

In my opinion, your flying sword can be controlled well, not weak among sword cultivators of the same realm, but your cultivation level is really poor, you can barely block a sword with [-]% strength of senior brother Duanmu, this is not good. "

Hou Tiao nodded, "Thank you brother for reminding me, I will work hard on my cultivation."

Duan Muzhen glanced at him, and said lightly: "Sometimes, it's not shameful to open your mouth, and sometimes, what others are waiting for is just your attitude."

The two left with swords, they came abruptly and left in a hurry. Obviously, they had other important matters to attend to.

Hou Tiao didn't ask any further questions. If the brothers didn't say anything, of course they thought that his current strength was not enough to participate in certain actions. This was the actual situation and there was no shame in it.

After the figures of the two senior brothers completely disappeared into the sky, Hou Tiao lowered his head and looked at the reef under his feet. Is there a sea monster here?
He admitted that because he put all his attention on practice, he did not pay special attention to some aspects, such as the corners around Crab Island.

The sea water is flowing. In his impression, unless these monsters were found at that time, all traces would be taken away by the sea water. Where can I find them?

Imitating Li Er's movements, I touched it under the waterline of the reef, and then put it on the tip of my nose. Unfortunately, I found nothing.

Maybe touch the wrong place?
After carefully identifying the reefs below the waterline, I finally found a trace of difference among the countless criss-crossings. Then I touched and identified, and there was a faint wave of evil spirit, which was very weak and was still decaying.

This shows that this sea monster will not appear for more than a day. He has to admire the perception of the two senior brothers. perception.

Just like what the two senior brothers said, he needs to find this sea monster and find out the origin of its intentions. Even if they live in peace, at least they can't be regarded as a fool by the monster clan.

He can't hide things in his heart, especially next to his own island, he can't be sure, and his heart is always restless.

So he didn't go back to the island, and just meditated on the reef to adjust his breath, because the recent contact with seagulls gave him a great understanding of these birds. This is his specialty, both on land and at sea. in this way.

It is to regard oneself as a seabird and integrate with the surrounding environment.

He thought it would take some time to find this mysterious guy, but he didn't expect that late at night...

Feeling something, I opened my eyes, and through the dark sea, there are countless black spots swimming below; slowly, these black spots are getting closer and closer to the water surface, like a group of tadpoles, thousands of them.

Hou Tiao felt that he was very ignorant, and he was simply a layman in front of all kinds of strange marine creatures.Even though he often flipped through the albums about the Lihai Monster Clan, he didn't seem to have seen such a small thing before?

How can such a creature survive in the sea?

Suddenly, a big mouth appeared in his line of sight, opened the mouth to suck, and the small school of fish was swallowed into the giant mouth without missing a beat.

Then, the strange fish raised its head, and a fish head with a human face appeared in his eyes, facing him fearlessly.
