Chapter 950: Mysterious at first glance

With Ai Xiaohong's company, Ye Chen felt much more relaxed on the way, although he didn't want to admit it.

However, because he took the wrong road, he wasted two days to reach a small fishing village. Ye Chen looked at the fish caught from the sea, and they were all black. It happened to be night, and when he stayed at a fisherman's house, Ye Chen thought that the fisherman had used some weird method to cook all the dishes black. On the next day, he realized that the fish were all black.

Ye Chen followed a fisherman to the beach, and returned angrily after just one look.

Ai Xiaohong looked at Ye Chen in confusion and said, "Why did you come back after taking a look?"

Ye Chen said angrily, "Have you heard of finding a needle in a haystack?"

Ai Xiaohong said, "I have heard of it."

"What's the difference between finding a hammer and finding a needle? Don't you see, standing on the beach and looking at it, it's all water. Ah, the sea, you are nothing."

"What the hell is this?"

"Anyway, I think your clan leader is really a rip-off. What year does he want me to find? I might as well buy some property and have children here."

Ai Xiaohong laughed and said, "Isn't this good? There's no need to fight back and forth."

Ye Chen slapped the table and said loudly, "I'm so angry, it's so rip-off."

The fisherman's child saw it and walked over and said, "Are you looking for a hammer?"

"Really?"

"In fact, the fishermen here can always salvage some strange things when they go out to sea." The fisherman's child said mysteriously.

Ye Chen became more alert and asked, "Have you ever found a hammer?"

The child nodded and asked, "Did you drop the hammer?"

Ye Chen was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes."

The child immediately ran out and quickly ran back, holding a hammer in one hand and said, "Young man, did you drop this golden hammer or this iron hammer?"

"Get out of the way!" Ye Chen kicked the child onto the roof and said angrily, "You kid, are you kidding me!"

At this time, Ai Xiaohong said, "Actually, there are other ways to find the hammer in our village?"

"What method?"

"This is also the method left by our older generation."

After saying that, Ai Xiaohong found a flat stone, then ground the stone into a triangular shape, and carved some runes on the stone, and then said:

"I want a basin of clean water."

Ye Chen fetched a basin of clean water.

Ai Xiaohong took the stone and chanted a few spells and put the stone into the water. The stone actually floated on the water.

Ai Xiaohong said: "This is the artifact sensing talisman, and its tip points to the direction where the artifact is."

"Huh?"

Ye Chen looked at the direction the stone pointed to, which was clearly pointing to the land.

"Are you sure? Isn't it in the Shadow Sea?"

"Yes," Ai Xiaohong said: "It should be, but this talisman will only react when it is close to a certain range."

"How big is this range?"

Ai Xiaohong shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just heard that it is a certain range."

"This is too unreliable," Ye Chen said depressedly: "This sea is so big, I can only look around blindly."

"That's the only way." Ai Xiaohong said.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered something, and walked around the small fishing village with the basin of water. When he came back, Ai Xiaohong asked, "What were you doing just now?"

"I was looking to see if anyone in the village had fished up the artifact."

"Oh?" Ai Xiaohong said, "In fact, this rune can only work when it is by my side."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"You didn't ask either."

"Let's look for it again."

Ye Chen asked Ai Xiaohong to walk around the village with the basin of water again. The rune didn't change at all.

Ai Xiaohong said, "It seems that there is no rune in the village. Let's go to the beach to have a look."

This time, Ye Chen came to the beach and began to seriously study this place called Shadow Sea. He found that the sea water looked like it was polluted from a distance, and the whole sea was black.

The fishermen did not dare to go too far when fishing at sea, and they all fished near the coast. Ye Chen asked a fisherman, and the fisherman said, "There are monsters in the open sea, so we dare not go out."

Originally, Ye Chen was thinking of renting a boat to go out to sea, but after hearing what the fisherman said, he gave up the idea.

Ai Xiaohong, who had been holding the basin, said, "Why don't you go find a water overflow bead? It's not convenient for me to hold the basin."

Ye Chen knew about the water overflow bead. The bead was light blue and always emitted cold water vapor, even in June. However, he had this thing before, so where could he find it now?

Just then, the kid selling hammers also came over, so Ye Chen called him over and asked, "Do you know where to find overflowing water beads?"

But the kid didn't seem to hear what Ye Chen said, and instead raised the two hammers and asked, "Boy, did you lose this silver hammer or this jade hammer?"

Ye Chen kicked the boy away again, cursing, "Damn, it's endless."

Ai Xiaohong said, "This bead is quite common, and many wealthy families have chains or treasure fans made of overflowing water beads."

"Yes, I'll go look for it, you wait here."

Ai Xiaohong didn't know why Ye Chen left without saying anything, so she had to wait at the beach. After waiting for a long time, Ye Chen didn't come back, thinking that Ye Chen must not have expected him to spend so much time. She was about to go back, and suddenly saw Ye Chen running back.

As soon as Ye Chen came back, he said to Ai Xiaohong: "Here you go."

Ai Xiaohong saw a blue bead in Ye Chen's palm. The water vapor coming out of the bead had surrounded his entire palm, and he could feel its coolness from a distance. He knew it was a top-grade bead at a glance.

Ai Xiaohong picked up the bead, punched a round hole in the middle of the talisman stone, put the overflowing bead in it, and then she put the talisman stone in her palm, and the talisman stone actually flew up a few millimeters.

Ai Xiaohong asked, "It's amazing. This bead can actually hold up the talisman so high. How did you find this bead?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I left the village and went to a small town. I found a rich family and discussed with them for a few words. They gave me the bead very kindly."

Ai Xiaohong didn't believe it of course. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly saw a group of people running over from a distance. When they saw Ye Chen, they shouted loudly, "It's him, the thief."

Ai Xiaohong understood it as soon as she heard it, and immediately pointed to a ship in the distance and said, "Quick, let's borrow that ship to go out."

Ye Chen said, "No, those ships can't go to the open sea. Let me take you there."

After that, he held Ai Xiaohong and flew to the sea. Ai Xiaohong exclaimed in surprise, "You can fly?"
