Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 60: Forming a Team to Head Out to Sea

"Brother Zhenyi is truly generous and uninhibited…" Ding Bu'er sighed until both Yuan Zhenyi's song and figure had disappeared.

"Bu'er, I plan to go to the seaside to hunt Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles. Why don't you go and stay at my place first, and after I've hunted the Thunder Crocodiles, we'll go to participate in the Leap Immortal Gate Assembly together." Mo Wuji knew that Ding Bu'er had been driven away by Han Ning and should have nowhere to stay, so he simply had him stay at his place.

Ding Bu'er looked at Mo Wuji in shock, "Wuji, you've seen Thunder Crocodiles before. Only Immortal Masters can withstand them, why are you going to die?"

Mo Wuji looked in the direction Yuan Zhenyi disappeared, and said in a deep voice, "Zhenyi has his own pursuits, he wants to pursue the Martial Path. Even if I don't have spiritual roots, I must find my own path. You also know that I'm more resistant to lightning strikes, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kill two Thunder Crocodiles on the boat. Hunting Thunder Crocodiles is indeed dangerous, but my mind is made up. If I can't come back, you should go and wander on your own."

Ding Bu'er went from shock to emotion, and finally clenched his fist. Yuan Zhenyi and Mo Wuji both had their own aspirations, how could he, Ding Bu'er, be timid?

"Wuji, I'll go with you. Don't say dangerous things, once you hunt the Thunder Crocodiles, I can help you clean up the materials on the Thunder Crocodiles." Ding Bu'er quickly made up his mind.

Rather than being treated like a dog, slapped and told to get lost, it's better to live a vibrant life. So what if he dies? Besides, who can be sure that he will definitely die?

"You two are going to hunt Thunder Crocodiles, why not team up with us?" A deep voice came, and Mo Wuji and Ding Bu'er turned around to see a tall and sturdy man.

This guy's height definitely exceeded two meters, with a broad back and round waist. Behind this burly man were a man and a woman. The man was much weaker than the burly man, no more than one meter sixty or seventy, while the woman had almond-shaped eyes and short hair, looking extremely capable.

"Are you also going to hunt Thunder Crocodiles?" Mo Wuji asked with a hint of vigilance. It couldn't be such a coincidence that he had just said he was going to hunt Thunder Crocodiles and someone here was going to hunt Thunder Crocodiles.

The tall and burly man smiled, "Don't overthink it, we're not going to hunt Thunder Crocodiles, but we are passing by an area with Thunder Crocodiles, so we can all take what we need."

"Then what do you need?" Mo Wuji asked bluntly, there was no need to be shy about it. If they were going to team up, not knowing what the teammates were doing was pointless.

The tall and burly man said, "It's not something worth hiding, we're going to find Sea Winged Leopard eggs. The Leap Immortal Gate Assembly is about to open, and the value of Sea Winged Leopard eggs will definitely rise rapidly. If we're lucky, we can rely on a Sea Winged Leopard egg to enter an Immortal Gate and become a handyman disciple. In fact, many people have been looking for Sea Winged Leopard eggs recently. Look over there, most of them are teaming up to find Sea Winged Leopard eggs."

"What kind of sea beast is a Sea Winged Leopard?" Mo Wuji didn't know much about demonic beasts.

The burly man laughed, "If I hadn't heard you say you killed two Thunder Crocodiles, I would have doubted your strength. Sea Winged Leopards are not sea beasts but low-level demonic beasts. The biggest advantage of this demonic beast is that it can fly. Many cultivators choose Sea Winged Leopards as mounts, because it is easy to tame as long as you get a Sea Winged Leopard egg. Moreover, Sea Winged Leopards are particularly good at traveling on water. On the edge of the Changluo Sea, some Sea Winged Leopards live hidden. The combat power of Sea Winged Leopards is not very strong, but what they hate the most are Thunder Crocodiles. Most Sea Winged Leopards choose to live near Thunder Crocodiles. Thunder Crocodiles are good at long-range attacks, and lightning strikes are even more difficult to defend against."

Mo Wuji felt that the other party was not lying, but he still couldn't understand why these three wanted to team up with him and Ding Bu'er. He and Ding Bu'er looked like people without much combat power. Even if he had killed two Thunder Crocodiles, who knew what means he used to kill them?

However, he also believed that he had nothing to be deceived of by the other party. Thinking of this, Mo Wuji immediately said, "Okay, I agree to team up. But I have a condition, when there are too many Thunder Crocodiles, everyone has to work together. And we also have a chance to share the Sea Winged Leopard eggs, of course, provided that everyone gets enough to share with us."

"Okay, friend, you're straightforward, it's settled then. I'm Ji Guang, and these two are my companions, Gao Juan and Sun Liyan. Do you want to prepare, or if not, let's set off now." Ji Guang's thinking was rapid and completely unsuited to his tall stature.

Mo Wuji immediately said, "I don't have anything to prepare, why don't we leave now? How much time will it take to go and return?"

Ji Guang replied, "It takes at most one day to go from here to Sea Seven Corners. If we are lucky, we can find the Sea Winged Leopard's haunt in a day or two. If we are unlucky, we may not find it even after the Leap Immortal Gate Assembly opens. You don't have to worry about this, the three of us also want to go to the Leap Immortal Gate, so we won't delay until the Leap Immortal Gate Assembly opens before returning."

……

It is said that Changluo City was named because this city is close to the Changluo Sea, so Changluo City can also be called a seaside city. The Changluo Sea is vast and boundless, and the treacherous places are countless. However, the most dangerous place closest to Changluo City is naturally Sea Seven Corners.

Sea Seven Corners has seven sea canyons, and these seven sea canyons are connected together, forming a scoop shape, hence the name Sea Seven Corners. This is also the place closest to Changluo City, and where Sea Winged Leopards often appear. It's just that in recent years, Sea Winged Leopards have been captured so badly that the edge of Sea Seven Corners is no longer visible. To capture Sea Winged Leopards, you must go out to sea for nearly a day.

Mo Wuji and the other four traveled overnight, and it was just dawn when they arrived at Sea Seven Corners.

"There are indeed a lot of people here." Although it was just dawning, Mo Wuji saw many beast carts parked here, and even some flying beast carts.

Ji Guang said solemnly, "Everyone be careful, more than 90% of the people who come here are here for the Sea Winged Leopard eggs. Let's try not to get close to them, many people here make a living by robbing. Now, the edge of Sea Seven Corners has long been unable to find Sea Winged Leopard eggs, to find Sea Winged Leopard eggs, you must go to sea."

"Then we have to take a boat, do many people have to go to sea together?" Ding Bu'er asked in confusion.

Gao Juan, who had not spoken much, sneered, "If many people go to sea together, where will we get the chance to find Sea Winged Leopard eggs?"

Ji Guang said, "Not far away, there are places that specialize in renting small boats, but I don't plan to rent small boats. We brought our own things."

After speaking, Ji Guang opened the big package behind him. Mo Wuji had always wanted to know what Ji Guang was carrying in such a big package, and now he saw that the package seemed to contain leather cloth and the like.

"What is this?" Ding Bu'er asked puzzled.

Mo Wuji had already seen that this was an automatic inflatable raft, but this was obviously not as simple as a raft.

"This is an inflatable leather boat." As he spoke, Ji Guang pulled out a bolt on the leather boat, and the leather boat automatically inflated. In a short time, it became a huge leather boat seven or eight meters long and three or four meters wide.

"This thing is so convenient," Ding Bu'er said in surprise.

Mo Wuji did not speak, he knew that this thing was very dangerous. This was going to sea, not going to a river. Once they encountered a powerful demonic beast, it would probably bite through the raft in one bite. This was not the main thing, the main thing was that this thing had no power system, were they going to paddle like this?

Ji Guang took out four oars from another package, "Except for Brother Mo, we will each take one of these four oars. At our speed, we should be able to reach our destination by dark. This sea area has nothing but Thunder Crocodiles."

After speaking, Ji Guang looked at Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, you are more resistant to lightning, if we encounter Thunder Crocodiles, you will block the Thunder Crocodiles' attacks. The four of us will paddle harder, and generally as long as we are out of range, the Thunder Crocodiles will not continue to pursue."

Mo Wuji finally understood why Ji Guang and the others wanted him and Ding Bu'er to join. The other three obviously saw that he and Ding Bu'er were not strong in combat. They wanted them to join, in addition to Ding Bu'er doing free labor, he himself had to be a free human shield, specifically used to resist Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles.
