Earthly Deity Chapter 58

“Big brother Zhen Yi is really bold and spontaneous ……” Until the original Zhen Yi’s song and figure disappeared, Ding Bu Er sighed.

“Bu Er, I’m planning to go to the seashore to hunt the six-legged thunder crocodile. Why don’t you go and stay at the place where I’m staying first, and when I come back from hunting the thunder crocodile, we’ll go to the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly together.” Mo Wuji knew that Ding Bu Er should have no place to stay right now after being chased away by Han Ning, so he simply let him stay at his place to go.

Ding Bu Er looked at Mo Wuji in shock, “Wuji, it’s not like you haven’t seen a thunder crocodile before. Those are only resisted by Immortal Masters, why are you going to die?”

Mo Wuji looked at the direction where Yuan Zhenyi had disappeared and said in a deep voice, “Zhenyi has his own pursuits, he’s going to pursue the Martial Dao. Even if I don’t have a spiritual root anymore, I must still walk out my own path. You also know that I am more resistant to lightning strikes, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to kill the two thunder crocodiles on the ship in the first place. Going to hunt thunder crocodiles is indeed dangerous, but my mind is made up. If I can’t come back, you can venture out on your own.”

Ding Bu Er went from shock to emotion, and in the end, he also clenched his fists. Both Yuan Zhenyi and Mo Wuji had their own ambitions, how could he, Ding Bu Er, cower?

“Wuji, I’ll go with you. Don’t say anything about danger, once you hunt the Thunder Crocodile, I can also help you pack up the materials on the Thunder Crocodile.” Ding Bu Er quickly made up his mind.

Instead of being slapped in the face like a dog and told to get lost, it would be better to live a more sensational life. Dying is dying, besides who can be sure that it’s a certain death?

“The two of you are going to hunt the Thunder Crocodile, why don’t you team up with us.” A mellow voice came, Mo Wuji and Ding Bu Er turned around to see a tall, burly man.

This guy was definitely over two metres tall with a big waist. Behind this big man there was a man and a woman, the man was much thinner than this big man, at the most, he was no more than one metre six or seven, while the woman had short almond eyebrows and short hair, looking extremely sharp.

“How many of you are also going to hunt the Thunder Crocodile?” Mo Wuji asked slightly wary, there couldn’t be such a coincidence, he had just said that he was going to hunt the thunder crocodile, and here was someone who was going to hunt the thunder crocodile.

The tall burly man laughed, “You don’t need to think too much, we’re not going to hunt thunder crocodiles, but there are thunder crocodiles on our way to the place we’re going to, so we’ll all take what we need.”

“Then may I ask what you guys need?” Mo Wuji asked bluntly, there was no taboo about this. Everyone was going to form a team, what the hell was a team if they didn’t even know what their teammates were going for.

The tall and burly man said, “It’s not something worth hiding, we’re going to search for the Sea Winged Leopard’s egg. The Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly is about to open, and the value of the sea-winged seal’s egg is bound to skyrocket. If we are lucky, with a sea-winged seal’s egg we can also enter an Immortal Sect as a miscellaneous disciple. In fact, there are a lot of people who have gone in search of sea winged seal eggs lately, just look over there, most of them are teamed up to search for sea winged seal eggs.”

“What kind of sea beast is the Sea Winged Leopard?” Mo Wuji didn’t know much about demonic beasts.

The burly man laughed, “If I hadn’t heard you say that you killed two thunder crocodiles just now, I would have really doubted your strength. The Sea Winged Leopard was not a sea beast but a low level demonic beast, the biggest benefit of this demonic beast was that it could fly. A lot of cultivators choose the sea-winged leopard as a mount, because as long as you get the sea-winged leopard’s egg, it is very good to tame. Moreover, sea-winged leopards are especially good at travelling on waterways. At the edge of the Long Luo Sea, there were some seafaring seals living in hiding. The fighting strength of the seal was not very strong, but the one they hated the most was the thunder crocodile, and most of the seals chose to live in the vicinity of the thunder crocodile. Thunder crocodiles are good at attacking from a long distance, and lightning strikes are even more defensible.”

Mo Wuji felt that the other party wasn’t talking nonsense, but he could never figure out why these three people were looking for him and Ding Bu Er to form a team. He and Ding Bu Er looked like the kind of people who didn’t have much combat power, even if he had killed two thunder crocodiles, who knew with what means?

Just the same, he thought that he had nothing that could be fooled by the other party, thinking of this Mo Wuji immediately said, ”Fine, I agree to form a team. However, I have one condition, when there are too many Thunder Crocodiles, we have to strike together. And we also have a chance to share the eggs of the Sea Winged Leopard, of course the prerequisite is that everyone who got more can share it with us.”

“Good, my friend is quick, it’s a deal. My name is Ji Guang, these two are my companions Gao Juan and Sun Liyan. Do you guys want to get ready, if not, we’ll leave right here.” Ji Guang’s quick thinking was completely disproportionate to his tall size.

Mo Wuji immediately said, “There’s nothing to prepare on my side, so why don’t we leave now. How much time will it take to come and go?”

Ji Guang replied, “It will take at most a day to get to the Seven Corners of the Sea from here, and if we’re lucky, we’ll be able to find where the Sea Winged Leopards hang out in a day or two. If we are unlucky, maybe we won’t be able to find it even when the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly opens. You don’t have to worry about that, the three of us also want to go to the Leaping Immortal Sect, so we won’t drag our feet until after the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly opens.”

……

I heard that Long Luo City was named because the city was near the Long Luo Sea, so Long Luo City could also be called a seaside city. The Changluo Sea was vast, and there were countless treacherous places. But the closest dangerous place to Chang Luo City was naturally the Seven Corners of the Sea.

There were seven sea canyons at the Seven Corners of the Sea, and these seven sea canyons were connected together to form a spoon shape, thus giving the Seven Corners of the Sea its name. This was also the closest place to Chang Luo City and was often infested with sea-winged leopards. It was only over the years that the sea-winged seals had been culled, and there were no more sea-winged seals at the edge of the Seven Corners of the Sea. If you want to catch a seal, you have to travel nearly a day’s journey out to sea.

Mo Wuji’s five were travelling all night long, and it was just about dawn when they arrived at the Seven Corners of the Sea.

“There are really quite a lot of people here.” Even though it was only dawn, Mo Wuji saw numerous beast carts parked here, there were even some flying beast carts.

Ji Guang, however, said gruffly, “Everyone be careful, more than 90% of the people coming here are here for the Sea Winged Leopard’s eggs. Let’s try not to get close to them, many people here specialise in robbing for a living. Now that the sea winged seal’s egg has long been impossible to find along the edge of the Seven Corners of the Sea, if we want to find the sea winged seal’s egg, we have to go into the sea.”

“Then we’ll have to take a boat, do we need many people to go out to sea together?” Ding Bu Er asked doubtfully.

Gao Juan, who hadn’t been saying much, sneered, “If many people go out to sea together, where will we get the chance to search for the sea-winged seal eggs?”

Ji Guang said, “There is a place specialising in renting small boats not far away, I have no intention of renting a small boat. We brought our own stuff.”

After saying that, Ji Guang opened the large parcel behind him, Mo Wuji had been somewhat wondering what Ji Guang was doing with such a large parcel on his back, and it was only now that he saw that the inside of the parcel appeared to be something like leather and cloth.

“What is this?” Ding Bu Er asked in confusion.

Mo Wuji could already see that this was a self-inflating kayak, but this was clearly not as simple as a kayak.

“This is an inflatable kayak.” As he spoke, Ji Guang pulled off one of the pegs on this kayak, and the kayak automatically inflated. In a short period of time, it turned into a huge kayak that was seven or eight metres long and three or four metres wide.

“This thing is so convenient.” Ding Bu Er said in amazement.

Mo Wuji didn’t say anything, he knew that this thing was dangerous. This was out to sea not out to the river, once they met a powerful demonic beast, I’m afraid that one bite would break this kayak. This wasn’t the main thing, the main thing was that this thing didn’t have a power system, was it going to be paddled over like this?

Ji Guang took out four paddles from another parcel, ”Apart from brother Mo, one of us will take one of these four paddles, with our speed, we should be able to get to our destination by the time it gets dark. There aren’t any other sea demons in this section of the sea other than the Thunder Crocodile.”

After saying that, Ji Guang landed his gaze on Mo Wuji, “Brother Mo, you are more resistant to thunder, once you meet a thunder crocodile, you will block the attack of the thunder crocodile. The four of us will increase our vigour in rowing, usually as long as we are out of range, the thunder crocodile will not continue to pursue.”

Mo Wuji finally understood why Ji Guang trio wanted him and Ding Bu Er to join them, the other trio obviously saw that he and Ding Bu Er were not strong in combat. Asking them to join, apart from asking Ding Bu Er to be a free drudge, there was also the fact that they wanted themselves to be free human shields, specifically used to fend off the Hexagonal Thunder Crocodile.
