Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi took out a piece of paper with a pattern he drew based on the task paper.

"I'm sorry, human friends, I have an agreement with you, the Huangjie Waterway Management Association, not to disclose the locations of other stores. You need to find them yourself."

The short, fat man spread his hands with an apologetic look on his face. He was indeed a good businessman and would not be offensive if he refused.

Lin Yi was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the arrangements made by the Huangjie Sea Channel Management Association were quite detailed and they were not even allowed to ask for directions?

Originally, he wanted to take out Xiao Yi's communication beads and use his identity to find out. Since the rules were arranged in this way, he gave up this plan.

Anyway, with the speed of the Thunder Escape Technique, it won't take too long to search the entire island. There is more than enough time, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Okay then, thank you!"

Although he didn't get the information he wanted, Lin Yi still thanked him politely.

"You're welcome, I didn't help." The short, fat man stood up and bowed slightly:

"I can feel a faint aura of the Sea Beast Royal Family on your body. I think you should be a good friend of our Sea Beast Clan! To be honest, the marks on our stores are all temporary, so no one else but you can Knowing what kind of marks other people’s shops have, I can’t even tell you if I want to.”

Lin Yi didn't expect that this short and fat man's senses were so keen that he could detect Xiao Yi's aura!

But when he thought about it, he felt relieved. He had not put away the communication bead for long, so it was not a strange thing to be able to feel a little breath.

However, the information given by the short and fat man left Lin Yi speechless. This competition was really strict. Not only were they not allowed to ask for directions, but even if they asked for directions, they would not be able to find anything useful.

"It doesn't matter, I still want to thank you for telling me this."

Lin Yi smiled slightly, nodded to the short and fat man, and was about to leave the store.

"Human friend, let me tell you one last piece of news. Although I don't know the specific location, I am certain of one thing. That is, if you want to complete the transaction, you must find an item on this island to correspond to the transaction. , so when you are looking for a store, you can first observe if there is anything special on the road and record it first! Otherwise, when you find the store, it will be too late to go back and look for things to trade."

The short and fat man seemed to think that Lin Yi was a friend of the Sea Beast Royal Family, and he was a little embarrassed that he had not told anyone any information. After thinking about it for a while, he secretly revealed some information about the transaction.

"Is there such a thing? Thank you, my friend! You have helped me a lot."

Lin Yi was slightly surprised. This was really timely information!

Otherwise, if his attention is all on looking for the store, who would care about what is on this island?

What can be seen is probably not a valuable thing, just like you would not pay attention to a stone beside your feet when walking.

After getting the reminder, Lin Yi was able to save a lot of repetitive time.

"Although we were unable to trade, I will give these things to you! I am indeed a friend of one of your sea beast princes!"

Lin Yi gratefully took out a few pills that sea beasts could use and placed them on the counter.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

The pudgy man's eyes lit up. Although he wanted it very much, he still declined.

"I'm going to look for it first. You don't want to waste my time by trying to shirk it from me, right?"

Lin Yi expressed condolences and then turned around and left the store.

The short and fat man said thank you and said goodbye to Lin Yi in a friendly manner. If the sea beasts were so friendly, everyone would really be able to live in harmony and make a fortune.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi knew very well that this short, fat man treated him like this. If it were anyone else, no matter how many benefits he gave him, he might not look good on him.

With the reminder from the other party, when Lin Yi looked for the store again, he began to consciously pay attention to those things that looked a little different.

For example, an unknown flower on the roadside, a special grass on the rock, a strange-shaped tree in the woods, etc. Anyway, remember it first, and you can come and collect it at any time when needed.

Two hours later, Lin Yi began to search the entire island.

Because we have to pay attention to whether there is anything special on the road, and these shops are really hard to find, it still took a lot of time.

I don’t know how the human cultivators who came to trade were found. Anyway, Lin Yi only found three open shops, but none of them were what he was looking for!

"Is there any mistake? These sea beasts set up shops just to play tricks on people, right? They can't even find the place. How do they do business?"

Lin Yi stood speechlessly on a mountain peak, looking down at the islands below.

He also met other people during his search, not only the crew of Okudaba, but also people from Ye Daxi and Su Lu. After understanding the difficulty of the search, all parties were willing to share information, but unfortunately no progress was made.

For Ye Daxi and Su Lu, sharing information with Lin Yi is beneficial. After all, they want to follow Lin Yi and the others when they go back!

After sharing the information, you can also shamelessly make a request to leave together when the time comes, lest Lin Yi and the others finish finishing first and leave directly, leaving them alone and spending a lot of time.

"I couldn't find it the first time. It seems I have to look for it a second time! I don't know how many shops are open. If there are seventeen or eight shops open, I'm really looking for someone to die!"

Lin Yi sighed softly. It was so difficult for him to search with the Thunder Escape Technique. It was a bit unrealistic for others to find the store within two days and complete the exchange task assigned by the store!

The lightning flashed on Lin Yi's body, and he was about to start the second search. At this moment, his eyes inadvertently glanced at a huge boulder on the roadside, and suddenly he felt something was wrong!

If he hadn't been habitually paying attention to special items, Lin Yi might have missed it!

But since he realized something was wrong, he canceled the thunder escape technique and stepped forward to check the boulder.

Walking around to the other side of the boulder, Lin Yi was speechless. Is this a boulder?

It’s a boulder!

But this huge stone has been hollowed out, and an extremely hidden portal has been opened here. If you don't pay attention, it is impossible to discover that this is actually a shop!

In particular, this huge rock is located at the highest point of the entire island, and the door opens to the cliff facing the sea. It will definitely take a lot of luck to find the person here.

"Is this a shop opened by a sea beast? It's so strange to run to the top of the mountain!"

Lin Yi shook his head speechlessly and pushed open the door that looked exactly like a rock. If he hadn't discovered the slight crack in the door, even he would have almost been deceived.
