Chapter 590 Octopus Leader

There is frequent trade on Qinghu, and there are also many merchant ships sailing back and forth. These merchant ships are hung with various flags. These flags are their talismans, because these flags were obtained after paying protection fees to the four overlords of Qinghu. Merchant ships without these flags will be attacked once they sail on Qinghu Lake.

Only merchant ships flying these flags can sail safely on Qinghu Lake.

Li Mu and Xia Li were riding on such a merchant ship. This merchant ship was quite huge, about 80 to 90 meters long and 20 meters wide. The bottom and middle floors were filled with cargo, and only the upper floor carried passengers. Qinghu Lake was huge. If you cross by boat, it will take at least half a month to get from one end to the other if the wind is favorable.

If there is a headwind, it can take as little as twenty days or as slowly as a month to cross. After that, by going upstream, merchant ships can enter the river connecting Qinghu. As long as the protection fee is paid, the route is relatively safe.

But now this ship has gradually abandoned mechanical power, because the metal is not only easy to rust, but most importantly, it cannot be repaired, and there are no parts at all. Once the power is damaged, the entire ship will have no power at all, so today's ships are generally Burning the magic circle, such as the wind magic circle driver, and then assisting manual labor, the speed may not be very fast, but it is definitely not slow.

Take this ship as an example. This ship not only has a wind-driven array, but also a protective array. This is mainly to prevent attacks by hungry monsters. After all, although the four overlords of Qinghu have regulations, no Attack merchant ships with flags, but there will still be some unruly monsters that occasionally attack merchant ships.

Some monsters have low intelligence and no brains, and can do anything if they are hungry.

Li Mu and Xia Li boarded the merchant ship at night. The merchant ship pulled up its anchor and set off soon after. Under the moonlit night, the huge merchant ship rode the wind and waves and sailed directly towards the huge dark lake.

Occasionally, you can see some ship lights in the distance, which are other merchant ships moving. On the deck, Li Mu and Xia Li are standing on the bow of the ship. A cool breeze blows from the bow, and a moist smell of lake water mixes with the night breeze. , not far away, a huge painting boat slowly passed by.

"Look, everyone, that's the Golden Cave. It's said that this giant ship was remodeled from an ocean liner. Except for the wealthy businessmen and the powerful, ordinary people are not qualified to board this giant ship. There are the most beautiful beauties on this ship. , there are the most beautiful banshees, and there are even mermaids in the far sea!”

"Not only are there beauties on this ship, but they can also gamble heavily. All kinds of great elixirs, rare magical powers, rare ores, and monster treasures may appear. Many wealthy humans gamble with big monsters, and they win or lose overnight. There are mountains of gold and silver, many people say that this ship is like paradise, and big names from all over the world board the ship every day!"

"Hey, I'm so envious. It would be great if I could board this gold-selling ship one day to take a look!" A middle-aged man with a dark face next to him said with envy as he looked at the giant ship not far away.

"There is such a place, it's really a lawless place!" Li Mu said to himself with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

Now the whole world is corrupt, and most people are struggling to survive. But I didn't expect that some people have begun to enjoy such luxury, which is so crazy.

Perhaps this is the truth of this world. People all live on the earth, the same earth, but different worlds.

"There is a very strong protective formation on this ship. Even I have to attack many times to break it!" Xia Li suddenly said while looking at the giant ship.

"The richer you are, the more you fear death, even if the four major overlords of Qinghu are behind this ship!" Li Mu said, he suspected that this ship was actually used by the big demon in Qinghu to exchange or get rid of some Rare items, because only similar items can serve as huge gambling capital.

On Qinghu, it is useless to rely solely on the protection provided by Qinghu Fortress. This ship is not even protected by Qinghu Fortress at all. Only the protection provided by the four overlords of Qinghu can allow this giant ship to sail unimpeded on Qinghu.

"Look, the giant monster has turned over!"

At this time, someone suddenly screamed on the deck. Everyone moved their eyes and saw a giant fish slowly turning its body in the water under the moonlight, causing a huge wave.

The giant fish was not even much smaller than the giant ship not far away.

The water monster in the lake disappeared and appeared. The lake was dark. Occasionally, a little light appeared, and then disappeared quickly. At the same time, not long after the merchant ship entered the depths of the lake, a man with a turtle shell on his back appeared. A middle-aged man emerged from the water. At his feet were two huge eyes, each of which seemed to be the size of a small car.

Occasionally, you can see extremely thick tentacles flashing past in the lake, stirring the lake water and setting off waves of undercurrents. Standing under the feet of the turtle prime minister turned out to be an extremely huge giant octopus. Li Mu had never seen a freshwater octopus. Pass.

"This boy happened to be riding on the boat owned by the Ao family. If he capsized the boat, wouldn't he lose the Ao family's face?" Prime Minister Gui looked at the flag hanging on the boat, and his face was a little ugly. If it were from another family, The merchant ship that was protected would be capsized if it was capsized, but this ship was a protection fee paid to the Ao family, so if it was capsized like this, it would be a slap in the face of the Ao family. If someone found out, the old Dragon King would definitely punish it.

"But that kid said he was going to report to the Demon Suppression Army, so he might go to Sifang Island, but this ship won't dock at Sifang Island. It will only load some more cargo from the lake at Nanwan Pier. Then the kid will have to get off the ship. Well, just deal with that kid right there!"

Prime Minister Turtle thought for a while and immediately came up with an idea.

"Let's go, continue to follow them, you dive to the bottom of the water, don't let them find you!" Prime Minister Turtle stomped on the giant octopus's head and ordered the giant octopus.

The giant octopus' huge eyes moved slightly, and then slowly dived into the Qing Lake.

As soon as the giant octopus sank, the surrounding water monsters immediately dispersed. No matter whether they were big or small water monsters, no one dared to stay near the giant octopus.

One day later, the merchant ship docked at Nanwan Wharf. Nanwan Wharf is the wharf of the demon clan. All the people working here are sharks. As soon as these sharks waited for the ship to arrive, they loaded many prepared wooden boxes onto the ship. The wooden box was full of special dried aquatic plants. These aquatic plants could be used to make elixirs and be used as medicine. If transported thousands of miles away, it would be a huge profit.

Li Mu disembarked at the Nanwan Pier, and then he and Xia Li took a small boat to approach Sifang Island. Flying above Qinghu Lake was not allowed, but flying rashly was very vulnerable to attacks by monsters. Li Mu didn't want to cause trouble yet, so he arrived first. Let’s talk about Sifang Island later.

"Sifang Island is about forty or fifty miles away from here. It is heavily guarded. It is a forward base that the Demon Suppression Army conquered with great difficulty only three years ago. It can be regarded as a nail driven into Qinghu Lake, but once you get there, you You must return to the Demon Refining Tower, otherwise it will be very troublesome if people find out that you are also a demon!"

Li Mu said, Xia Li is very strong and her demonic aura is very weak. She can restrain the demonic aura, and most people can't see it at all, but she is afraid of everything. If Xia Li's identity is discovered, Li Mu will take action. You will be in a dilemma.

What's more, Li Mu only has one letter of recommendation for Xiao Rongyu in his hand. If Li Mu suddenly goes there with a person of unknown origin, he will inevitably be subject to strict scrutiny and increase the chance of exposure. There is no need to take this risk.

Xia Li frowned. The environment in the Demon Refining Tower was indeed not good, but there was nothing she could do about it, and she wasn't that picky.

When Li Mu saw that Xia Li didn't object, he didn't say anything more and directly urged the boat to approach Sifang Island. Li Mu had already bought this boat. There was no boatman on the boat. It all depended on Li Mu's strength. Push the controls and go fast.

However, Li Mu was so powerful that he drove the small boat like a speedboat, riding the wind and waves on Qinghu Lake at high speeds.

"Wow!"

But not long after leaving the South Bay, a huge shadow suddenly appeared under the water in front of the boat, and then a huge and terrifying tentacle suddenly appeared from under the water. The tentacle was like a tall tower, extremely thick, emerging from the water. The part is more than a hundred meters long.

"Boom!"

As soon as the tentacles appeared, they smacked the boat hard. Li Mu's expression changed and he and Xia Li immediately shot out. They were actually attacked by the water demon.
