Chapter 382: Suppressing Sea Lizards

"We came here early, and the morning tide hasn't receded yet, so we can't see many people. After a while, when the tide recedes, you can see the people working in the sea." Kong Xiangdong explained.

"So after the tide recedes, will the fog also recede a little?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Yes, the fog is synchronized with the tide."

As he spoke, Kong Xiangdong suddenly pointed forward, "Look, the tide is receding!"

As expected.

The white fog that was originally close to the beach gradually receded.

It felt like a white monster was slowly and cautiously retreating for some reason.

The black sea water also retreated little by little, revealing the wet seabed below.

Zhao Ya had excellent eyesight and saw many strange-shaped fish on the seabed at a glance.

The big ones were as long as an adult's arm, and the small ones were only the size of a palm.

The colors were also varied, but mostly silver.

At this time, the fish stranded on the beach were struggling hard, trying to return to the sea.

But at this moment, a group of people wearing thick leather clothes and carrying wooden barrels appeared from nowhere, rushing to the beach frantically, picking up fish whenever they saw them.

A competition between people and fish began.

"This is the daily routine of the seafarers. Today's harvest is good." Kong Xiangdong said lightly.

"So these are all your people?"

"Not all of them, there are also the men of Shiluozi, the guy. As for the activities of the other groups of seafarers, they are not here."

Zhao Ya carefully identified and found the difference.

Although these people were all wearing thick leather cotton coats, the hats they wore were different.

One group of people's hats were obviously newer, while the other group's hats were much more worn out.

"Won't this cause a conflict?"

Looking at the two groups of people fighting for fish on the beach, Zhao Ya couldn't help asking.

"Of course they will, but fighting is commonplace for these seafarers, so they are careful when they attack, and Shiluozi's men don't dare to provoke my people too much."

Sure enough.

While the two of them were talking, four or five conflicts broke out on the beach.

However, the scale of these conflicts was very small, just three or two people fighting each other with spears.

The losers didn't get hurt, as long as they quit the competition, the winners would not continue to fight.

Obviously, these seafarers have found a reasonable and legal way of getting along in the long-term competition, which is not a lose-lose situation.

"From this point of view, this job is not too dangerous." Zhao Ya said.

"Not too dangerous? Haha!" Kong Xiangdong sneered.

"This is just the beginning, you keep looking down."

As soon as the voice fell, several sharp cries came from the sky, and then several huge shadows like clouds and mist rushed straight to the beach from the sky.

When they got closer, they found that it was not a cloud, but a few huge white birds.

After seeing these white birds, the seafarers immediately became very nervous.

Some people who were closer to the shore started running hard with their harvest.

But those who were far away had no chance.

However, their reaction was not slow at all. They gathered together very quickly, and some people even took out crossbows and shot at these white birds.

But the feathers of these white birds were made of unknown material, which was extremely hard.

After these crossbow arrows touched them, they fell down one after another, without even hurting the skin.

However, these white birds were obviously not targeting these seafarers.

They stood on the seabed and kept pecking at the fish that had escaped the net.

Soon, all the fish left on the seabed went into the stomachs of these white birds.

But after eating, these white birds did not seem to be satisfied, so they raised their heads and stared at the seafarers gathered not far away.

The seafarers looked embarrassed, but soon reached a consensus.

Each of them took some fish from their buckets and threw them far away.

Before they landed, the white birds swallowed all the fish.

But after eating a wave, the white birds still refused to leave.

Now the seafarers were a little impatient.

"These freeloaders come every time and eat more than half a bucket at a time. How much can we pick up in total!" Someone shouted loudly, with a face full of unwillingness.

"That's right, I didn't pick up much this time, and I have to feed these bastards. I won't do it!" Someone echoed.

But some people looked at those who complained with indifference.

"If you don't want to fish, you can just rush over. As long as you can get to the shore, you will be fine." Someone sneered.

Hearing this, the people who were still shouting loudly just now fell silent instantly.

Because although these white birds are now very docile, they are actually very terrifying.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life, not to mention the fish in the bucket.

But there are also those who would rather die than lose their treasure.

"Just go ahead, I picked up the treasure with great effort, I can't just give it to others."

A man who just entered the industry this year shouted loudly, picked up the wooden bucket and walked out.

But after walking a few steps, a white bird suddenly blocked his way and flapped its wings at him.

"Get lost!" This man is really a reckless person. He swung the steel harpoon in his hand and smashed it at the white bird.

Then....

He was gone!

Because just when he swung the steel fork in his hand into the air, the white bird pecked his head with lightning speed.

With a plop, the dead body fell to the ground.

Then the white bird didn't even look at the body, but buried its head in the wooden barrel and began to feast on it.

The whole process took only a few seconds, and a life was buried under the bird's beak.

Zhao Ya, who was on the snow hill in the distance, witnessed the whole process and asked in surprise: "What are these white birds?"

"They have no names, but seafarers generally call them white-eating birds. Don't underestimate these birds. They are very powerful, and the key is that the tribe is very large. Once you provoke one of them, it will surely attract a large-scale attack from its tribe."

"So once you encounter these white birds, the best way is to obediently offer today's catch."

Speaking of this, Kong Xiangdong sighed.

"Although the environment of Wuwang Sea is extremely harsh, I don't know how many strange beasts are fed by the fish caught after the tide recedes."

"Speaking of which, we seafarers are like foreign invaders. Because of this, generations of seafarers have had countless conflicts with these powerful strange beasts, and finally barely maintained this situation."

Zhao Ya was a little surprised when he heard this.

Because he didn't expect Kong Xiangdong to say such a thing.

"Are you a little surprised? How can someone like me say such a thing?" Kong Xiangdong laughed.

"In fact, most of my madness was used to deal with those thugs and other gangs. There is no way. If you want to gain a foothold in this place, you have to be more cruel and crazy than everyone else, so that you can gain people's respect."

"As for these low-level seafarers, I rarely exploit or treat them harshly, because I know how difficult it is to make a living, and it is even more difficult to survive in Wuwang Sea."

Zhao Ya has a new understanding of Kong Xiangdong.

In any case, being able to say such a thing is enough to prove that his nature is not bad.

At this time, Kong Xiangdong looked up at the sky.

It was almost noon, but the sun was only hanging obliquely in the southern sky, looking dim and yellow, as if it was evening.

"It's almost time. The beast likes to go out of its nest at noon. This is also the best time for us to take action. Follow me!"

Zhao Ya followed Kong Xiangdong along the coastline all the way west, and in about half an hour, they arrived in front of a high mountain by the sea.

"The beast's activity territory is in front of us." Kong Xiangdong whispered, and then handed Zhao Ya a small medicine bag.

"The reason why we stayed at the seaside for a while just now was to let you and me get the smell of Shanghai wind on our bodies, but this is not enough. This beast has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. After smelling the breath of strangers from a distance, it will immediately hide in its nest, so if you want to get close to it, you must hide the smell on your body."

Zhao Ya took the small medicine bag, opened it with some curiosity, and found some brown powder inside.

When he smelled it closer, he smelled a strong smell of the sea.

"This is... a powder boiled with seawater?" Zhao Ya said in surprise.

"Right!"

Kong Xiangdong was not surprised that Zhao Ya could tell the origin of the powder at a glance.

The previous competition in the town had made Kong Xiangdong deeply realize Zhao Ya's attainments in the way of poison.

This was also the reason why he did not hesitate to tell him the tricks he had painstakingly studied and invited Zhao Ya to come.

Kong Xiangdong took out some of the powder from the medicine bag and applied it evenly on his body.

Zhao Ya did the same.

"When you and I enter its territory later, we must be very careful, because this beast is very vigilant and will hide in the cave if something goes wrong."

"It will be difficult to catch it by then."

Zhao Ya finally couldn't help asking: "After talking for so long, what exactly is this thing?"

"A sea lizard!"

Sea lizard?

Zhao Ya certainly didn't think that this sea lizard would be an ordinary species.

After all, it can make Kong Xiangdong suffer a great loss and treat it so carefully, which is enough to show its extraordinaryness.

The two quietly entered the mountain.

It is called a mountain, but it is better to say that it is a hill made of stones.

There are no trees inside, only strange-shaped stones.

The road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the low-lying areas are full of sea water.

But this did not bother Zhao Ya and the others.

They quickly passed through it and soon entered a forest of strange rocks.

After hitting here, Kong Xiangdong did not speak, but quietly gestured to Zhao Ya, which meant that the sea lizard's nest was ahead, and then act according to the plan.

Zhao Ya nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

Then Kong Xiangdong took the lead and entered the forest of strange rocks first.

In an instant, Kong Xiangdong disappeared from Zhao Ya's perception.

Zhao Ya was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough.

This Kong Xiangdong also has his own unique way to hide his breath.

This is not surprising.

After all, if you want to get along in such a place, how can you do it without a few unique skills?

Zhao Ya then used the Spirit Turtle Hibernation Technique and quietly entered the strange rocks.

After entering, Zhao Ya discovered something strange.

Because the color of these strange rocks is different from others, it is a copper green color after a long time of use.

And it also exudes a faint unpleasant smell.

Without even getting close, Zhao Ya could infer that these stones are poisonous.

Is this sea lizard so domineering?

It even poisons the stones near its nest. Is it for defense or unintentional?

However, these poisons, which are fatal to ordinary people, pose no threat to Zhao Ya at all.

He quickly passed through this area, and then saw a mountain clearing in front of him.

A layer of purple-red mist was diffused above this clearing.

Even though they were some distance apart, Zhao Ya was still frowned by the fishy smell.

At the same time, Zhao Ya felt a little dizzy.

Zhao Ya was a little surprised. You know, since he practiced martial arts, he has never had this feeling again.

At this moment, a warm current suddenly emerged from the liver and quickly circulated in the body.

In an instant, the feeling of dizziness and swelling disappeared.

But Zhao Ya still raised his vigilance.

Because he was so far away, he almost got hit, which shows how strong the poison is.

He secretly moved the blood stored in his liver and slowly came to a hidden place.

Then he saw a shocking scene.

There was a huge stone on the slope of the open space, just facing the sun.

And on the stone, there was a red lizard lying.

The body of this lizard was not too big, about two meters long, and it was covered with scales. Its color was like fire, burning people's eyes.

At this moment, the precious sunlight was projected on this stone.

The lizard enjoyed the warm radiation very comfortably, and from time to time it would spit out its slender and forked tongue.

As it swallowed and spit, wisps of mist gradually spread, and finally merged into the mist above the open space.

A strange color flashed in Zhao Ya's eyes.

Because this lizard gave him a strong sense of oppression.

This feeling has not appeared for a long time.

It was obvious that this was a beast that was at least at the peak of Kaimai.

Add to that the strange and unpredictable poison attack.

No wonder Kong Xiangdong suffered such a big loss.

Zhao Ya was thinking.

At this moment, a small bag suddenly flew from the other direction of the stone cluster, and it exploded directly after reaching the sky above the lizard.

A cloud of smoke instantly enveloped the lizard.

The lizard reacted very quickly.

As soon as the powder touched its body, it quickly ran to a gap under the stone.

That turned out to be its nest.

But Kong Xiangdong had planned for so long, how could he let the lizard escape so easily.

At the moment when it was about to jump off the stone, Kong Xiangdong shouted and rushed to the front, and then threw the powder on the lizard as if it was free.
