Chapter 192: World Changes
Pabra introduced the fine wine from his hometown to Li Changxiao. He was indeed a born businessman, and he started selling one thing after another. In the end, he even guaranteed with his own reputation that the wine was absolutely delicious.
Li Changxiao never resisted fine wine. As long as it was not too expensive, he would usually pay for it. It happened that before boarding the ship, he worked as a bodyguard for a wealthy family for several months and earned a lot of money. When he left, he received a severance pay, which left him enough money to buy wine.
Pabra was deeply moved by his generosity and repeatedly said that it was a great pleasure to do business with Li Changxiao.
After tasting it, Li Changxiao nodded. This wine has a scent of gooseberry mixed with grass, which is very special. It tastes slightly sour at first and then gradually becomes sweet, but it is not easy to get drunk. If it can be paired with air-dried bacon, or peanuts wrapped in flour and fried, it will definitely have a unique taste.
After sailing for more than ten days, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the sea. It was not an ordinary strong wind, but brought with it gusts of poisonous miasma. If you look closely, you can see countless thumb-sized fish in the sea, gnawing at the wooden boards of the boat.
This is a special sea area.
Pabra cursed his bad luck and complained constantly, but he never stopped. He took out a small bottle filled with crystal powder and threw it on the deck.
The crystal powder formed a circle of light.
All the poisonous miasma and the small fish that gnaw on the planks of the boat are kept out.
But this does not mean that the crisis is over.
Pabra explained to Li Changxiao that this was a sea of poisonous miasma. Logically speaking, his route should not enter this sea. He guaranteed that his ship had definitely not deviated from its course.
But what cannot be explained is that they did enter that sea area, so they must be mentally prepared in advance, because this sea area is no joke and is very dangerous.
Pabra is a person who likes to talk more when the situation is dangerous. Maybe he is not really explaining to the swordsman who is drunk all day long, but he just needs someone to talk to.
He walked to the deck, pointed down, and said, "That's fish, the most disgusting fish in the world."
There was disgust in his words.
He looked around and pointed to the distance, "Look, that's a poisonous shark, uh..."
"It seems to be coming towards us."
He realized the seriousness of the problem.
But he was not panicked at all. He took out a red bottle from his arms and threw it into the sea.
The next moment, a raging fire broke out on the sea surface. The fire had the smell that fish feared the most. Logically, the poisonous shark should have turned around and left.
But that didn't happen today. The poisonous shark opened its mouth wide, and Li Changxiao's hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
But then I saw a man take a sudden step and jump high up.
The man was holding a spear and had a tall stature. Even Li Changxiao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange.
The next moment, the man's spear came out like a dragon, and there was even a sound of a dragon's roar. It was mighty and domineering. A sweep of the spear could actually create a huge wave of four or five meters high.
This doesn't stop there.
That man took a step in the air, and his figure rose several meters higher. He condensed his spear intent and struck out in an instant. The water surface where the poisonous shark was located sank.
The next moment, the concave sea surface was filled up, and with a bang, waves appeared.
The waves were several meters high.
The gunner who had attacked so boldly took another step in the air, and with great martial arts skills, he landed lightly on the deck again.
This is also the time.
The ship slowly left the sea area.
There was applause in the boat.
Li Changxiao was no exception. He clapped his hands continuously, thinking it was extremely impressive and it was all from the heart.
If a cultivator could do this, he would naturally not think it was a big deal.
嗏
This person is not a monk.
The series of actions just now were solely based on one's own strength.
This was far beyond the scope of mortal martial arts. The fact that he flew through the air and stepped on air several times was already outrageous, and coupled with the transmission of the gun's intent, he killed the poisonous shark from a distance.
Li Changxiao could only say, awesome!
It gave him the feeling of a chivalrous hero in the TV dramas of his previous life, or even better.
Pabra's expression was calm, as if he had long been accustomed to it. He also explained to Li Changxiao that this man was a bodyguard he hired, nicknamed Little White Gun in the Waves. His martial arts skills were only average, but his advantage was that his price was not high.
Li Changxiao was stunned when he heard this. Is his kung fu just average?
Based on his performance just now, without using spiritual energy, this person would be able to gain the upper hand or even win even if he were to face the cultivator Wang Jue.
Immediately, Li Changxiao smiled bitterly and found the key point.
I have been isolated from the world for too long.
After leaving the poisonous sea, the caravan continued to head towards Lingtian Island.
The journey was far from smooth. There were always various dangers, including attacks by strange sea beasts and harassment by big birds. The most common ones were all kinds of bad weather and the king who cut the sea.
The so-called "King of the Sea" is the self-proclaimed name of sea pirates.
They are the kings of the sea, and any merchant caravans that want to pass through their waters must hand over their treasures.
Along the way, they encountered robbers five times. The first four were not worth mentioning. They were just small minions who overestimated their own capabilities. Ordinary guards could defeat them without any need for any guns or weapons.
However, the robber they encountered the fifth time was holding a chain and a big knife, and was extremely ferocious. He swung the knife and flew more than ten meters away. From a long distance, he cut Papola's boat pole into two halves.
Afterwards, he was even more courageous, displaying his mid-air stomping skills, and jumped over to Papola's boat, where he engaged in a battle with Xiaobaiqiang in the Langli. The battle between the two was quite fierce, and after a few moves, Xiaobaiqiang in the Langli suffered several losses. Fortunately, Li Changxiao also took action.
Holding a long sword, he took two or three steps close to the bandit leader and fought for several rounds, also wanting to test the strength of the current warriors.
After a few moves, he had an idea in his mind. It turned out not to be the traditional martial arts of mortals.
He faintly discovered that there were traces of immortal cultivation techniques and magic in the bandit leader's every move. He thought that the reform of the cultivators at the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit had gradually begun to affect those who were not cultivators.
Seeing that he had hit a wall, the bandit leader jumped into the air several times and fled. The little white gun in the waves had just suffered a setback, so how could he swallow this anger and chased after him in an instant.
Li Changxiao calmly put the sword back into the scabbard and looked towards the place where the bandit leader fled.
A blue light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
No matter how powerful the martial arts are.
If he wanted to kill someone, it would be easy.
The next moment.
A giant beast rushed out of the deep sea and swallowed the fleeing bandit leader in one gulp.
Li Changxiao killed without leaving any trace.
No one can prevent the dream he weaves.
After the crisis was resolved, the fleet continued to sail. Papola's complaints continued throughout the entire journey. He always asked what was wrong with the world.
It's not his fault, because there are so many dangers in sea sailing, and they are increasing every year. Papola can't figure it out, but Li Changxiao knows it clearly.
It’s because of the depletion of spiritual energy.
The secrets of the past have surfaced little by little. Take the poisonous sea for example. There used to be a cave in that sea, called the Poisonous Sea Cave. Over time, the cave gradually merged with the world. This led to the continuous expansion of the poisonous sea mentioned by Papola.
Even if they sailed according to the original route, they would still enter that sea area.
Speaking of the sea, Li Changxiao remembered the two bottles that Papola threw out at that time. They were things he had never seen before, and they seemed to have extraordinary power.
Papola smiled slightly and told Li Changxiao that in addition to being a businessman, he also had another identity.
He is a magician.
