Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Are you going to the South Island?" When he heard the news from Lin Yi, Hong Zhong couldn't help but was slightly startled, and quickly reminded: "The South Island is the base camp of the spirit beast clan, which has always rejected humans. If it is not necessary, I advise You'd better not go."

"Shopkeeper Hong, you misunderstood. I'm not going to the South Island, I'm just going to the Weihu sea area near the South Island." Lin Yi explained with a smile.

"Oh, that's no problem. In addition to the mainland of the South Island, there are still many human cultivators living on the surrounding islands." Hong Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and then said: "Weihu Sea Area That place is full of dragons and snakes. It is said to be very chaotic, but there happens to be a branch of our Hong Chamber of Commerce. The shopkeeper is named Wei Zhaotong, who is also an old friend of mine for many years. You can reveal your identity after you go there. What's the use? Wherever you go, you can open your mouth."

"Wei Zhaotong? I'll take note of that, thank you shopkeeper Hong." Lin Yi smiled slightly. The scene now seemed a bit familiar. Hong Zhong also gave the same instructions before he set off to Hucai Tianwu Mountain, but he introduced it at that time. It was Cai Zhongyang, but this time it was Wei Zhaotong.

Looking back now, Lin Yi was able to escape from Zhongdao and gain so much, but thanks to Hong Zhong's reminder to prepare for a rainy day, otherwise he would not have even a foothold outside Zhongdao. If he can't be found, he must have been wanted by the Snow Sword Sect for a long time. Whether he is still alive now is unknown.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh secretly. This time it was a familiar situation, and he didn't know what the final result would be.

"Hey, what's the point of thanking you for this? Even without my relationship, this is Wei Zhaotong's responsibility. Have you forgotten? You are now the honorary vice president of our Hong Chamber of Commerce! "Hong Zhong couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, isn't this still in a state of confidentiality? Without public notification from your senior management, it is not certain whether he recognizes my identity as the honorary vice president. It is more reliable to have an old friendship between you." Lin Yi shook his head and said.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for several years, and I don't know what his current situation is. But if something unexpected happens, Lin Shaoxia, you might as well reveal your identity as the honorary vice president. Even if some people suspect it, but with Hong The internal news channels of the Chamber of Commerce will soon be confirmed by the Zhongdao headquarters. You must not underestimate this level of identity. When you reach a branch in a small place like Weihu Sea Area, no one in the branch will dare to disobey you. , otherwise it will be tantamount to betrayal, and the guilt will be heavy." Hong Zhong warned carefully.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Yi nodded.

Although it is said that strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes, I and Huang Xiaotao went to Weihu Sea Area and were not familiar with the place. If even the branch of the Hong Chamber of Commerce there did not cooperate with me, it would indeed become very troublesome. It was a last resort. , when the time comes, we can only use force to overwhelm others.

After saying goodbye to Hong Zhong, everything was ready. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao immediately set off for Weihu Sea Area.

Since Huang Xiaotao's spirit bird is an excellent flying spirit beast, the two of them naturally don't need to spend any extra effort. They can set off directly with one bird.

From the three major pavilions of the North Island to the Weihu sea area, this distance almost spans the entire Tianjie Island map. The journey is not very far. Even if the flying spirit beast travels day and night without sleep, it will take at least ten days. If there is an encounter on the way, Not to mention any accident or danger.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaotao's spiritual bird, apart from being not very aggressive, has excellent qualities in all other aspects. It is not only fast, stable in flight, highly alert, but also has super physical strength. These qualities are very important to a pure bird. It is very rare for flying spirit beasts.

In addition, the route Lin Yi chose at the beginning was along the edge of the coast, and the safety was quite guaranteed. Therefore, the previous few days were calm and there were no twists and turns.

But next, they need to cross the vast sea, which is impossible. If they keep walking along the ground, although it is not impossible to reach the South Island, they will need to go all the way to the Central Island, and then The time required to transfer from the Central Island to the South Island is not ten days. Twenty days or even a month may not be enough.

For such a long journey, there are still two people on the back. Not to mention Huang Xiaotao's spirit bird. Even the best flying spirit beast can't keep an eye on it, let alone the strict control around Zhongdao, unless it hangs with those big forces. sign, otherwise they are not allowed to take off at all, let alone cross. The trouble is not just one or two.

Of course, if Lin Yi was riding the special mount of Tianxingdao's Zhongdao Island Master Pavilion, that would be a different story, but it's a pity that this is not the case.

"It's okay. As long as you stay alert enough, even if there is any danger, you can avoid it in advance. Don't worry too much." Lin Yi glanced at Huang Xiaotao and saw that she was nervous, so he smiled and comforted her.

"Yeah, I'm not afraid as long as you are here." Huang Xiaotao nodded obediently.

In fact, she is not unfamiliar with trial missions. In the past few years, she basically wandered around the North Island Cultivators Guild when she had nothing to do, but she rarely left the North Island. Even if she went out of the island, she would only go to Hucai Tianwu Mountain. Plant somewhere without being too far away.

But this time, not only did she have to cross the entire Tianjie Island from north to south, but she also had to cross the vast sea. This was the first time in her history. She had heard many dangers and rumors about crossing the sea in the past, and she wanted to say something in her heart. I'm not nervous, that's definitely a lie.

But even so, sitting next to Lin Yi, she always felt at ease in her heart, and the panic in her heart disappeared.

"Across the sea, the most dangerous thing is actually not the sea beasts below or the ferocious birds in the sky, but the practitioners and the sea fog." Lin Yi let Huang Xiaotao cling to him while analyzing and explaining to reassure her: " Although the rivers and lakes are dangerous, as long as human cultivators pay attention and don't be easily approached, there won't be any big problems. As for the sea fog, this is the most deadly trouble, but fortunately we have made preparations in advance. , but don’t worry too much.”

The sea is vast and boundless. Once it is covered by sea fog, the visibility is often only a dozen feet. Not only is it difficult to guard against various potential threats, but the key is that it is easy to lose your way. Once lost in a place like this, it will be really difficult. The truth is that death is not far away, and many cultivators who come out to do tasks actually die under the sea fog.
