King of the Fairy City

Volume 1: Trapped on an Island Chapter 170: News Leaked

Half a month later.

An inconspicuous small fishing boat drifted around the reef island and finally stopped dozens of miles to the west.

The young monk stood by a capstan at the stern, observing the movement in the deep seabed while staring closely at the rope connected to the capstan. The other end of the rope was deeply buried in the seabed.

"It moved"

At a certain moment, the rope suddenly vibrated, and the young monk immediately shook it and quickly turned the capstan to lift the rope quickly.

"Quick, pull up the third brother"

A strong man who was operating the boat next to him saw this and immediately helped.

The two worked for a long time, and the other end of the rope reached the end. A thin monk wearing black water leather armor tied a rope around his waist and broke through the water.

"Splash"

He emerged from the sea with a sound, greedily took a big breath, and his whole body was weak. He let the two pull him into the boat and collapsed on the ground.

"Third brother, how is the situation below?"

The strong man hurriedly said.

Over the past half month, they have explored almost all the seas within dozens of miles around Shidao, but have not found any trace of the ancient shipwreck. The strong man also became anxious.

After a long time, the thin man regained his strength and showed excitement on his face: "Big brother, second brother, I saw the mast of a large ship below, and a looming hull, which is more than a hundred feet long. But it is too far away, and only a general outline can be seen. But this is definitely a shipwreck."

"Finally found the shipwreck"

"Our efforts over the past half month have not been in vain"

Hearing this, the other two were overjoyed.

The strong man even lifted up the thin monk and asked anxiously: "What did you see? Tell me in detail."

The thin monk sat up, ate the meat in a hurry, drank a few sips of hot wine, broke free from the strong man's big hand, pointed in a direction and said: "Brother, be gentle, I can't breathe. I rowed a few miles to the southwest. There was a huge boat-shaped shadow. I didn't see it clearly. I need to get closer to check it again."

The strong man knew that he was too anxious and apologized. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I'll row the boat a little bit."

Soon after, the small fishing boat rowed to the top of the ancient ship.

The thin monk ate some wine and meat, and had recovered his physical strength and magic power, and jumped into the sea again.

But only after a short while, the rope suddenly trembled violently, as if something abnormal had happened. They had agreed before that a huge shock would pull it up, and continuous huge shocks must be troublesome.

The strong man and the young monk were shocked.

The strong man even shouted loudly: "Something is wrong, pull it up quickly"

The two of them were frantically pulling the rope up.

Under the sea, the thin monk was swimming desperately towards the surface of the sea.

Deep in the sea, a huge sea monster shark was swimming.

After finally rushing out of the water, the thin monk immediately flipped over and jumped onto the fishing boat, and shouted in a panic, "Sail quickly, there is a sea monster shark lurking near this sunken ship."

When the strong man heard this, his face turned pale and he hurriedly turned the bow.

The young monk also picked up the oars and rowed immediately.

If it was a large sea ship, or there were more than a dozen Qi training monks, they would not have to fear the sea monster shark. But a small fishing village with only three Qi training monks was a huge threat.

Just as the small fishing boat rowed several miles, a sea monster shark more than ten feet long surfaced on the sea.

The three looked back and showed fear.

The sea monster shark is a very ferocious large sea monster beast among the low-level sea monster beasts. The strength of an adult sea monster shark is as high as the peak of the third level. It is not something that three Qi training period casual cultivators can deal with. Even more than ten Qi training period cultivators may not be able to deal with this sea monster shark.

The three people rowed desperately and fled in a hurry.

Fortunately, the sea monster shark did not seem to be very interested in their small fishing boat. It just rose to the surface of the sea to breathe and cruised without chasing.

The three people fled back to the stone island and were relieved when they got ashore.

"Boss, there is indeed an ancient shipwreck on the seabed. But there are also many sea monsters near the shipwreck. There are several sea monster sharks alone. I didn't see it clearly, and I was spotted by this demon shark..."

The thin cultivator said with lingering fear.

"Damn, I knew there was an ancient shipwreck below, but I didn't have the strength to salvage it. I wasted more than half a month in vain."

The strong man couldn't help but curse, feeling very depressed.

The three sat on the shore, feeling very depressed.

If they can't salvage it, even if there are countless treasures in the ancient sunken ship, it will be useless to them.

"Boss, in fact, our half month of hard work is not in vain. At least we have found out the location of this ancient sunken ship. Otherwise, we can sell this information and maybe earn a lot of spiritual stones?"

The young monk suddenly suggested.

"Sell the information?"

The strong man was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He sighed unwillingly and turned to the thin monk and said, "Third brother, what do you think?"

The thin monk also smiled bitterly: "It can only be like this. With the three of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to salvage the goods from this sunken ship in our lifetime. Let's give up as soon as possible and don't waste time here. This information should also be sold for a good price, at least it can guarantee our cultivation expenses for a few years."

The strong man was extremely depressed and punched the stone, smashing the stone into pieces.

His fist was also slightly injured and scratched.

Feeling the slight sting on the back of his hand, the strong man took a big breath and felt better. He nodded and said: "That's all, let's sell the news. This island belongs to Zhu's Fairy Village, and it's close to here. Just sell this information to City Lord Zhu and see what price he will offer."

The two of them had no objections and agreed with the strong man's opinion.

So the three of them stopped staying and left by boat again, heading for Zhu's Fairy Village.

The strength of Zhu's Fairy Village is relatively mediocre. It has mastered three islands. In addition to the stone island which has almost no use, the other two are Lingtian and Lingmu islands, which have no valuable resources.

Life in Zhu's Fairy Village was barely passable, but it was far from prosperous.

In a side hall of the City Lord's Mansion, three casual cultivators were sitting on spiritual wood seats, rubbing the Kraken skin under their buttocks, all secretly sighing at the luxury of the City Lord's Mansion.

This monster skin alone can produce several first-level spiritual armors, which is worth their hard work for several months.

A young monk in brocade robes walked in accompanied by a middle-aged monk in purple robes.

The young man in brocade robes looked at the three casual cultivators. Seeing their ragged clothes, he couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "What's the important thing for you three to see the Lord of this city?"

The three of them stood up hurriedly, looking a little cautious.

"City Master Zhu, I have a big deal. I just don't know how much the City Master can afford."

The strong man immediately bowed to the young monk in brocade robes.

The young man in brocade robes suddenly became impatient: "Don't talk so much nonsense. If you have any business, tell me immediately. This city lord is very busy and I don't have time to chat with you."

He looked down upon these three casual cultivators.

How much business can a few casual cultivators do during their Qi training period?

"I discovered an ancient sunken ship, a material transport ship. I wonder if the city lord is willing to buy this news?"

The strong man had no choice but to tell his purpose quickly.

"What, you discovered an ancient shipwreck, a material transport ship from the ancient war between immortals and monsters?"

The young man in brocade robes was suddenly shocked and couldn't believe it. He asked again, "Is this serious? Are you trying to amuse the Lord of this city?"

Even the middle-aged monk was shocked.

"How dare I deceive the Lord of the City? This is absolutely true. We have determined the location of the sunken ship, but the monsters on the seabed are so ferocious that we can't get close, so we came to see the Lord Zhu."

The strong man explained quickly.

"I'm sorry you don't dare to talk nonsense. Take it, these spiritual stones are for you as a reward."

The young man in the brocade robe was so excited that he paced back and forth, threw a bag full of spiritual stones to the strong man, and called out to the outside to see who was coming.

Seven or eight immortal guards walked in in a hurry.

City Lord Zhu ordered: "Invite these two people down and entertain them well. They are the distinguished guests of this City Lord, so don't neglect them. In addition, let him lead the way to the location of the ancient sunken ship."

City Lord Zhu pointed at the thin monk, then ignored the three of them and directly pulled the purple-robed middle-aged man next to him and walked out.

Several immortal guards immediately separated the three casual cultivators, took two of them to a residence in the fairy village, and pushed the thin monk out to find the ancient sunken ship.

The three monks did not expect City Lord Zhu to be so overbearing and panicked. However, they could not withstand the push of the immortal guards and did not dare to resist.

As he walked, Zhu Cheng said to the middle-aged monk: "Immediately take a few confidants from the village to investigate. I estimate that this thing should be true. Haha, with this supply, what Lou family, The No. 1 Immortal Village in Aolai will be trampled under the feet of this city lord."

"Yes, I want to congratulate the city lord, so I will go to investigate now."

The middle-aged man in purple robe was also very excited. He took the order and took a few immortal guards, suppressing the thin monk and leaving.

The thin monk didn't dare to resist. Under his identification, they found the shadow of an ancient sunken ship deep in the sea near Shidao.

However, there is a sea monster entrenched, and they cannot go deep into the seabed to investigate.

That night, the middle-aged monk returned to Zhu's Fairy Village.

City Lord Zhu confirmed that the information was correct. Overjoyed, he summoned all his confidants overnight to discuss a plan on how to salvage this ancient sunken ship.

Two casual cultivators "lived" in a small building, with several immortal guards stationed outside the door. After the thin monk identified the location of the ancient ship, he was also sent into this small building.

The young monk was angry, "Boss, what does the surname Zhu mean by putting us under house arrest? It seems that we can't get out before they salvage the sunken ship."

"I was careless this time"

The strong man held the cloth bag in his hand, with a cold look on his face, and said angrily, "Take it and see, this City Master Zhu is so damn stingy, he just sent us away with just a few spiritual stones. Damn, it's so valuable." The news is that they only gave us two hundred spirit stones, do you think we are beggars? "

"Brother, I'm afraid they will take it out on you, so I have no choice but to point out the location of the ancient sunken ship to them. If I had known only this few spiritual stones, I wouldn't have easily pointed out the location of the sunken ship to them."

After seeing the bag, the thin monk was also filled with resentment.

They worked hard to find out this news, but it turned out to be less than a hundred spiritual stones when divided equally. He was very unwilling to accept it.

"It's not your fault. We were careless. We shouldn't have all come here and sent one to sell the information. Now, we can only find a way to escape. Since he is unkind, we will unjustly sell this information to other fairy villages in large quantities. , let’s see what City Lord Zhu can do to monopolize this ancient sunken ship.”

The strong man was filled with hatred and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, it's up to you tonight."

"I understand. City Lord Zhu got the news of the ancient shipwreck, so he should not be able to sleep well tonight, and he is busy salvaging the shipwreck. The guards of the City Lord's Mansion should be lax, and the incense in my hand should come in handy."

The thin monk nodded.

The immortal guards of the Zhu family immortal village looked down on the three casual cultivators. Although they were imprisoned in the attic, they did not search them.

City Lord Zhu dispatched personnel overnight, preparing to send a large sea ship out to sea, and to bring back all the cultivators stationed on the outer islands.

This was a night of tossing and turning.

At dawn, he received a report from an immortal guard that the three casual cultivators had knocked out a guard with the incense and secretly ran out of the immortal village.

City Lord Zhu's face was ashen, and he sent people to chase them, but unfortunately to no avail.

The three casual cultivators had already left Zhu's spiritual island overnight, fled, and ran to other immortal villages to sell information.
