Chapter 442 Returning to the Sect for Retreat
After much deliberation, Tang San finally decided to go out to sea on the Manta.
The captain of the Manta is Cheng Dana. Although he has not been to the ocean many times, he is a generous and magnanimous person.
If you want to enter the Poseidon Island, you will inevitably spend a long time drifting on the sea. A reliable captain will make the rest of the journey much easier.
With an idea in mind, Tang San immediately sent someone to invite Cheng Dana to the hotel where they were staying.
Cheng Dana was a dark-skinned, rough man. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted, "I was wondering who would spend ten gold soul coins to invite me to chat. I didn't expect it to be a young nobleman."
Although he was the captain of a ship, most of the money he earned from each voyage was used to pay the crew salaries and repair the ship. Very little was actually earned.
A luxurious suite like the one Tang San and the others were staying in, he might not be able to stay there for a few nights after taking a boat trip.
Tang San didn't care about his rude behavior, and said with a kind smile: "Captain Cheng Dana, we want to borrow your ship to go into the deep sea, I wonder if you are willing?"
Cheng Dana sat on the sofa next to Tang San, picked up the fruit on the coffee table and ate it heartily, "Entering the deep sea, right? No problem. Although my boat is a fishing boat, it also provides sightseeing services."
"There are two packages, choose carefully. One, the Manta takes you into the deep sea, but we will fish on the way back. By then, there will be a fishy smell on the boat. This package is cheaper, I'll charge you 500 gold soul coins."
This package was just a side job for them. After all, the fish caught in the deep sea could be sold at a good price.
After a pause, he continued, "The second package is to take you sightseeing throughout the trip. Our crew members don't know how to fish. But the fee is much higher. I'll charge you 7,000 gold soul coins."
Tang San didn't care whether they caught fish or not, he asked: "Where is the deep sea you mentioned? Have you reached the Demon Whale Sea?"
These days, they spent money to find out some information. Tang San knew that after passing the Demon Whale Sea, driving a distance forward would be the approximate location of the Sea God Island.
Cheng Dana was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and cursed, "Damn it, how far is the Demon Whale Sea? If you want to commit suicide, I won't accompany you."
Tang San smiled faintly, signaling the other party to relax. Then, he asked tentatively: "We want to go to Sea God Island, can your ship reach it?"
The corners of Cheng Dana's mouth twitched slightly.
Poseidon Island only exists in legends, and any captain would stay away from them.
You know, there are countless Demon Soul Great White Sharks patrolling the sea area near Poseidon Island. If you break into it, you will die without knowing how.
Tang San saw what he was thinking, so he said: "Just leave us in the sea area near Sea God Island, and we will travel on our own for the rest of the journey."
"I'll give you 20,000 gold soul coins. You only need to send me to the sea area of Poseidon Island, and you don't need to pick us up on the return trip. How about that?"
Twenty thousand gold soul coins is a considerable sum of money.
If he sold all the fish caught in the near sea, he would earn about 2,000 gold soul coins. If he went offshore, the value of the fish could be tripled, but the cost of travel would also increase.
It was just to send Tang San and the others over, and they could still fish on the return journey.
After taking this order, they won’t have to worry about their living expenses for the next two years.
However, Cheng Dana did not know the sea conditions near the Demon Whale Sea. If they rashly crossed the Demon Whale Sea and were discovered by the terrifying existence in the sea, they would not be able to return.
If you take a detour without a nautical chart, you are very likely to get lost.
After thinking for a long time, Cheng Dana said in a deep voice: "30,000 gold soul coins must be paid before boarding the ship. This trip is extremely dangerous. This money is the legacy that my brothers and I leave for our family!"
Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death.
If he returns successfully, his money will be enough to upgrade the Manta. Then, maybe he can go into deeper waters to fish.
Tang San did not refuse, "When will you leave? I will deliver the money to you half a day before departure."
Cheng Dana pondered for a moment.
After all, we have to give the crew time to leave their last words.
"I will set off in ten days. My ship will be waiting for you at the port."
……
Qi Tian didn't know the movements of Tang San and others.
In fact, he did not let the disciples of the Min Department track Tang San's whereabouts.
After more than a month of travel, he returned to the Element Sect.
This time when he came back, Qi Tian did not summon the elders of the sect, but asked the disciples to pass on the message that the affairs of the sect would still be managed by the elders. He came back this time just to retreat.
"Little monster, I rushed here as soon as I heard the news that you were back. Why didn't the others come back with you?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.
Suddenly, he was stunned and said in shock: "Little monster, you have only been training for about a year, and you have reached such a level?"
Qi Tian helplessly spread his hands, "Old monster, can you please ask slowly? How should I answer this?"
After a pause, he explained: "Xiaotian and the others have obtained new opportunities and are now undergoing training. They will not be back in the next few years. As for my cultivation."
Qi Tian told Dugu Bo what happened in Fengshen Mysterious Realm after slightly changing it.
Of course, he did not mention the divine examination. The divine examination was a serious matter and should not be known to too many people.
"So, the two months you spent in the secret realm are actually equivalent to two years of training results." Dugu Bo smiled dumbly, "I didn't expect that there is such a strange place in the world."
Qi Tian spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that we didn't know about it at the beginning. In order not to worry everyone, we came out early. I'm afraid it's unrealistic to go back now."
Dugu Bo patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Little monster, if you had stayed in the secret realm for ten or twenty years, you would have become a Titled Douluo, and a strong one among them."
In other words, only about two years have passed on Douluo Continent.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. In the Wind God's small world, apart from the God-given soul rings, he had no other channels to obtain soul rings.
As for the soul beasts that survived in the world, it was obvious that they were protected by the God of Wind. Killing them would probably mean that you were too old.
"Old monster, your strength is not bad. You have broken through level ninety-six." Qi Tian saw his strength through mental perception.
Dugu Bo did not take credit for it. "I just absorbed the soul bone you gave me, and my soul power broke through."
"Alas, my talent can only go so far. There is basically no possibility of improvement in the future."
Qi Tian smiled and said, "Your strength has surpassed that of Bone Douluo. From now on, he will no longer be able to show off in front of you."
"That's true."
