C66 (1/2)
It was almost dusk. After working for the entire day, just as Leng Jun and his crew were about to rest in the cabin, they suddenly heard a ”du” sound. The fishing boat seemed to have hit something, and the boat started shaking.
Leng Jun anxiously looked out of the cabin. It was another slightly larger merchant boat, and it was leaning on the boat they were on.
This situation was not uncommon at sea. Some merchant ships that came out to view the sea liked to buy some fresh catch from fishing boats that were fishing at sea. Whenever this was the case, the two ships would lean against each other's sides and use a rope to connect them to achieve the goal of stability.
Although he said that, the situation this time was different. The people on the ship opposite were obviously not tourists. They were all dressed in tight uniforms, with blades hanging from their waists.
There were a total of four people standing on the bow of the ship, with a helmsman at each end. They were all dressed in similar attire, dressed in black, with long swords hanging from their waists. Only the person in the lead wore a purple cloak with two golden hooks sticking out from his back.
This person's name is He Zhe, and he's the famous vice captain of the Ocean Combat Regiment — Ocean Serpent's Combat Regiment.
Sea Serpent Combat Regiment is indeed very famous, but this ”name” might not be a good name. There were thirty-six sects in the Heavenly God Continent, but none of them could manage the sea, so the sea became a vacuum and wasn't as peaceful anymore. Pirates at sea ran rampant, and nobles who wanted to go out to sea or those who needed to go to sea would often be harassed by pirates. Thus, a group of maritime Combat Regiment were developed to protect the nobles when they went out to sea and when they went to sea, Sea Serpent Combat Regiment being one of them.
However, this group of sea serpents was not very honest. While doing a business of protecting the navigation, he was also doing a business of selling pirates. Thus, his reputation was not good.
A large hole had been made in Li Sizong's Earthgod ship by Leng Jun. It took them a great deal of effort to repair it. However, the destruction of the boat was still a small matter. Before the beauty that Li Sizong admired could even be eaten, she was snatched away by a little brat who didn't even know her name. How could he take this lying down?
Because Leng Jun and Zhu Qingyun had jumped into the sea to escape, and because there weren't any boats nearby to pick them up, Li Sicong concluded that they wouldn't run too far, so he hurriedly found two people to capture Leng Jun and bring his back.
One of the people Li Sicong had called over was one of the thirty-six hall masters of the Earthly God Palace, Mu Long, the leader of the Combat Regiment. Li Sicong, in his capacity as Young Hall Master, ordered Lin Musen to send people to block all the paths that led from the mouth of the ocean to the Divine Martial City.
On the other hand, Li Sicong had found the captain of the Ocean Serpent's Combat Regiment, Jin Changchong, to help him search for the two.
Although the Sea Serpent's Combat Regiment were famous in the sea, it was unknown in terms of Heavenly God Continent. The fact that the disciple of the Earth Divine King had sought him out was a great shock to Jin Changchong.
Jin Changchong originally wanted to climb a high branch and become a subordinate of the Earth Goddess. Naturally, he didn't refuse Li Sizong's request in the slightest. In his opinion, helping Li Sizong this time was equivalent to helping the Earth God Palace, and he could be considered as one of the Earth God King's men. If he was able to find the person Li Siong was looking for first, he might even be able to become a hall master. With such a thought in his mind, Jin Changchong naturally spared no effort and even dispatched his vice-captain.
The old fisherman was fishing for a living, so he was very clear about the power of this sea. The moment he saw the flag of the sea serpent hanging on the ship across from him, he knew that he had met a troublesome fellow.
When the two ships came into contact, the old fisherman felt his heart beat like a drum.
