Chapter 143: Rumors in the South Sea
After entering Nanhai City, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai went to the post office in front of the Fire God Temple to register.
Before leaving Fushan City, the wizard presented a pass token to allow Lu Heng to pass freely in the Fire Pass Country.
Huo Feng carried the head of the water beast killed by Xiao Ai and went to the Fire God Temple to collect the reward.
After Lu Heng took out the pass token given by the wizard of Fushan City, he was led to a secluded courtyard.
As for Wuzhu in Nanhai City, Lu Heng didn't plan to pay a visit.
After Huo Feng received the reward, he would go to the port to find a ship going to sea as soon as possible, and go to the South Mermaid Kingdom.
Now that the beginning of winter has passed, the rare treasure conference of Mermaid Kingdom is about to be held. Lu Heng didn't want to delay any longer.
As for the hustling and bustling of Nanhai City, he could enjoy it when they returned.
After carrying the head of the beast into the Fire God Temple, Huo Feng soon got the reward.
But when Huo Feng came back, he brought a bad news.
"Lord Wolf!"
As soon as he stepped into the yard arranged by the post house, Huo Feng said excitedly, "I have contacted the ship to go to sea, and it will go to sea tomorrow morning. Just"
"Just?" Lu Heng, who was teaching Xiao Ai water control method, looked up in surprise and asked, "Just what?"
Huo Feng sighed and said, "Recently, there has been trouble in the South Sea, and the sailors are unwilling to go to sea. Therefore, I can only find an empty ship half rented and half bought, and I will take charge of the steering."
Lu Heng was a little surprised by Huo Feng's story, "You can even drive a ship?"
Huo Feng smiled, scratched his head and said, "A little a little"
Lu Heng shook his head and was too lazy to say more.
He asked, "What is the so-called unrest? Aren't there a lot of ships and caravans going to sea in Nanhai City? Why does no one dare to go to sea now?"
Huo Feng explained, "It's not that no one dares to go to sea. The big caravans and ships are basically unaffected, and their itinerary is still the same. It's just that those small businessmen are not willing to go to sea without the protection of cultivators, so they can't hire people."
Huo Feng said, "As for the reason why small businessmen didn't want to go to sea, was related to the rumored [Erba God Man] in the South Sea."
"Oh? [Erba God Man]?" Lu Heng was a little interested, "[Erba God Man] what is it? Why can it frighten these businessmen?"
Huo Feng had long been used to Lu Heng's "Ignorance".
Now, Huo Feng was relieved to see that Lu Heng didn't know the legendary [Erba God Man]. Since the Wolf God didn't know it, it must not have been a powerful existence in ancient times.
He smiled and said, "It's a rumor outside the South Sea."
"I don't know when it started. It's said that there is a supernatural being in the South Sea, named Erba God Man. His cultivation base is very high and his supernatural power is so powerful that no one dares to provoke him in the South Sea."
"But there are different versions of his specific image."
"It is said that the Erba God Man is a sea demon with 16 arms and 16 pairs of eyes."
"It is also said that the Erba God Man is actually sixteen brothers and sisters, each of whom masters a strong ability."
Huo Feng said several different rumors one at a time, but all of them have one thing in common.
That is, the Erba God Man is super strong, and wherever he goes, there will be ghosts and evil things causing chaos.
He doesn't know whether it is the appearance of the Erba God Man that will cause chaos or the appearance of evil things that will attract the Erba God Man
Many fishermen in Nanhai City don't want to go too far out to sea, because of the legend of the Erba God Man, and water demons are indeed rampant overseas at this time.
Such chaos may not be serious for those big caravans escorted by cultivators.
But for those ordinary people, any evil thing can bring ultimate disaster to them, so they don't want to go to sea.
Lu Heng also understood the situation after hearing Huo Feng's explanation.
"So on the South Sea today, there are evil demons and water demons rampant?" Lu Heng asked.
Huo Feng nodded, and then smiled, "But those water demons are not too strong, so don't worry too much. As long as we don't bump into the legendary Erba God Man, this trip is not dangerous."
"Of course, even if we encounter the legendary Erba God Man, he would have run away after seeing the Wolf God."
Huo Feng said with a smile.
In the heart of Huo Feng today, the Wolf God is one of the strongest existences in the world.
Even the legendary Zhu Jiuyou was scared away for several miles by the Wolf God's sword. Who else can do it in this world?
If someone told Huo Feng at this time that the Wolf God was invincible even in ancient times, he would not be surprised, but would repeatedly nod his head.
Lu Heng felt amused, shook his head, and said, "Brother Huo, you are really confident in me Ha"
"Anyway, although there are many rumors about the Erba God Man, the rumors don't say that he likes killing. Although it seems strange, he may not be a real evil thing."
"We don't need to worry too much even if we bump into him."
"There is nothing in this world that can't be solved by communication," Lu Heng said with a smile.
Huo Feng also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, there is nothing unreasonable in this world. Everything can be solved by communication."
Who dares to be unreasonable in front of the Wolf God!
If the so-called Erba God Man encounters the Wolf God and it's really an evil demon, then the Wolf God will definitely kill it.
In this way, with strong confidence, Huo Feng slept in the post house all night, and then set out the next morning, taking Lu Heng and Xiao Ai to the port.
The Bo horse who didn't want to take the ship fought hard and wanted to stay on the shore until Huo Feng came back, but it was still dragged away by Huo Feng.
There was a lot of luggage that needed to be carried by it!
After they arrive at the Mermaid Kingdom, they need to walk ashore.
Without the Bo horse, Huo Feng would have to carry the luggage himself. How could he let this "coolie" go?
