Chapter 431 The Beast of the Sea
Almost at the same time as she spoke, the old man stretched out his hand from behind Gong Ziheng, where he couldn't see, and grabbed his back.
Even from a distance, Ruan Xihe could see the sharp nails on the old man's fingers, like blades, reflecting the light in the sun.
This scene appeared too suddenly.
The friends were so shocked that they didn't react for a while.
How come the old man who was feeling sentimental and sad in the last second became as agile as a fool in the next second and wanted to attack Gongzi Heng?
Sensing the danger, Gongzi Heng instantly dropped the old man in his arms and cleverly dodged, trying to avoid the old man's sharp claws.
But when the old man landed on the ground, his fingertips had already touched Gongzi Heng's back, even piercing through his brocade robe and almost piercing his flesh.
Just then, a chill swept over.
"bass--"
There was a flash of silver light, and the sword passed without leaving a trace.
Shen Yan held the sword in one hand, glanced coldly at the old man's broken nails, and inserted the sword into the scabbard with an expressionless face.
On the side, Gongzi Heng swallowed his saliva and was secretly shocked.
If the boss hadn't reminded him just now, he would have been in trouble.
Gongzi Heng patted his frightened chest, twisted his neck with difficulty, and looked at his back.
At this moment, there were five extremely long fingernails stuck on the back of his brocade robe. From a distance, he looked like a hedgehog.
Gongzi Heng let out a long sigh, reached back with difficulty, and pulled out the fingernail that was stuck in his clothes on the back.
Only he knew that if Shen Yan had not taken action just now, there would probably be five bloody holes on his back.
When the old man saw that he had failed, he took two big steps forward and then dived into the Sanfang Sea.
Gongzi Heng's eyes flashed and he wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Ruan Xihe.
"Don't chase, you can't catch up."
Although Gongzi Heng was angry.
But he also knew that what the boss said made sense.
Although he could swim, the old man was obviously more skilled and familiar with water. At least he seemed to be a better swimmer than him. He might not gain any benefit if he went down.
Furthermore, there have been unusual movements in the three seas, and no one knows what is in there. Even if there are no unusual movements, there are still large numbers of sea beasts in there.
If he jumped down like this rashly, it would be difficult for him to avoid being buried in the belly of a sea monster.
But in this case, the question arises again, that old man...isn't he afraid that sea beasts will eat him?
Thinking of this, Gong Ziheng's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Boss, what the hell is he?"
Except Huayu who had no energy or thoughts to think about this matter, the other friends obviously also thought of the unusual aspect.
An old man, sitting on a dangerous building, waiting for someone to rescue him, then he would take the opportunity to rescue him, and if he failed, he would dive into the dangerous sea...
Jing Lian raised his eyebrows and smiled slowly: "It's not a ghost, it's a beast."
Ruan Xihe glanced at Jing Lian, seeming to be thinking about something.
To be honest, most of the time, Jing Lian was really too smart, so smart that sometimes she even suspected that he was not from the Galao Continent.
She had just come to this conclusion through observation of the sea water and surrounding objects.
But after getting off the spirit boat, Jing Lian just took out an ancient book to read, and his eyes never left the book in his hand.
How did he know all this?
"Thin?" Gongzi Heng scratched his head and retorted, "That old man isn't thin at all. He doesn't look like he has much flesh. It was really hard for me to hold him. I even suspected that he had two big iron weights in his arms."
Jing Lian: “…”
Ruan Xihe explained: "It's not the thin in fat and thin, but the beast in sea beast."
"Sea, sea, sea beast?!" Gong Ziheng was so shocked that he stuttered, "How is it possible?"
Not only Gongzi Heng, Yun Xi, Jimo Qianyi, Mo Yuan, Shen Yan, even Hua Yu, who was pale and vomiting, were also shocked.
"Ruan Ruan, you are right, right? You mean..." Xiao Yin swallowed, "that old man is a beast?"
"Ah."
Gong Ziheng hastily retorted, "But, apart from the spirit beasts with the blood of divine beasts that can transform into human form, I have never heard of other spirit beasts that can also transform into human form!"
"Moreover, the bloodlines of divine beasts are also differentiated. If it is the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, it can transform after cultivating to a certain level. If it is an ordinary divine beast, not only must it cultivate to an extremely high level, but it also requires the right time, right place, and right beast before it can transform."
“In the Three Seas, I have never heard of any divine beasts or spirit beasts with the blood of divine beasts. They are just sea beasts.
All sea beasts are large spiritual beasts or even holy beasts without exception. How come there are beasts that can transform into human form?"
Ruan Xihe shook his head.
She hasn't thought of the specific reason yet.
But it is nothing more than related to the unusual movements in the three seas. If the truth of the prophecy is solved, we will naturally know the reason why sea beasts can transform.
"that......"
A weak voice sounded.
Hua Yu was leaning against a tree with one hand, his face was pale, and his eyes, which used to be extremely charming, now looked sickly and lifeless.
He raised his other hand and waved it, saying to everyone, "Can we talk about this after we get on the Spirit Boat?"
"The appearance level of our team is supported by this prince. Whether the team can be famous throughout the continent is also of great importance to me."
"If you don't leave now, this prince may die here. By then, you will not only lose a teammate with extraordinary talent, but also a team leader with outstanding appearance..."
Friends: “…” Although Huayu looks really miserable and pitiful now, why are the words he said so annoying, making people want to beat him up?
But playing is playing, and making noise is making noise.
When the friends saw Huayu like this, they kindly suppressed their fists and the urge in their hearts to beat him up.
Save it for next time when he's better.
Ruan Xihe took out the spirit boat that he had exchanged for from Wanbao Tower.
After loading the stones, the friends got on the spirit boat one by one. Of course, Huayu was helped up by someone.
The spirit boat slowly took off.
Hua Yu looked at everyone with some curiosity, and then he asked what was in his heart.
"Don't you think the smell here is pungent?"
"I don't think so." Gongzi Heng replied.
After saying this, as if to verify his words, he lay down beside the spirit boat and took two deep breaths of air.
As a result, he was choked so much that his eyes turned red.
Gong Ziheng took two steps back and blinked with difficulty, feeling a little dizzy. "It seems to smell a bit."
He didn't feel the taste before because his attention was focused on the old man...
No, on the old beast.
