Chapter 441 Underwater

After Li Qi turned around, he felt very strange.

People in the Way of Reason... This may be true. After all, what the other party said is reasonable, and even I can't tell the truth by myself.

I can only verify it from multiple sources at that time to see if I can find the flaws.

Dongyu should not be transformed by mirage. The authenticity of this thing can still be guaranteed. The work of these people in the Way of Reason in Dongyu should also be reliable.

There is only one thing.

Are these people in the Way of Reason aware of it? Or are they just involved?

That's all. There is no point in thinking about these. On the contrary, the other party's understanding of the Way of Spirit and the Way of Reason can indeed be learned from and absorbed. This alone is worth making friends with.

Even if it is a bait, this bait is sweet and delicious. Eat it first. Li Qi is still quite confident in his ability to get rid of the hook.

If it doesn't work, just run away. I have so many trump cards on my body, it is more than enough to save my life.

Well, let's make friends first. As for the possible situation behind it, let's take it one step at a time. We can't just stop doing anything because of a plot. We should be on guard every day like a hedgehog.

However, we still need to pay attention to the most basic safety issues.

That's it. Let's decide it for now.

After making the decision, Li Qi prepared to look for a ship first.

Although he had no connections in Dongyu and basically no intelligence, he had to make preparations for both situations.

Let's watch here first, and then look at Lidao. If the relationship is okay, he will ask these locals to look for treasure ships for him. This way it will be safer.

Thinking of this, Li Qi walked to Lao Ma and really entered Dongyu.

Dongyu has five discs. The hands, shoulders, and head of this huge puppet are all discs, which hold many buildings and form a city.

He came to the disc on his left hand because everyone was walking this way, so he came in directly. The local rules are not clear yet, so he will follow the crowd and observe slowly.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Qi saw a large market, where countless sea dwellers were selling all kinds of local specialties to people who had just entered Dongyu.

This was still the sea, but it was different from the violent East China Sea that Li Qi had experienced before.

Near the disc of Dongyu, the sea was unusually calm. There was a vast and easy-to-cross calm sea with good and clean water quality. There were many huge dead coral reefs around the disc.

Old Ma was walking slowly on this calm sea.

If you run fast, you may bump into people. Anyway, it's not far, so just walk slowly at this speed.

Near these reefs that Li Qi passed by, there were countless lights coming and going. Most of the sea dwellers were snails, clams, and mermaids. They were noisy and laughing, and the sound of selling pearls and brocades, counting money and measuring things was endless. Around this disc, there were pavilions, thousands of layers, all like colorful glass, appearing and disappearing, changing in an instant, as if in the water and clouds.

However, although this scene is mysterious and beautiful, no matter how Li Qi looks at it... he always feels that this sea market in front of him is a bit like the kind of place under the highway where they sell agricultural products in baskets in the rest area.

They should be similar in essence, right?

When Li Qi was about to cross this sea market with his old horse, he saw a mermaid swimming towards him quickly and said in a skilled human language: "Sir, sir! Do you want pearls? They are all the best!"

The mermaid was a female with a beautiful appearance. Her body was covered with some shining blue-purple scales. Her lower body was a fish body. She paddled the water surface deftly. Her upper body was naked. Looking from a distance, people would be surprised to see the mermaid.

The mermaid swam under Li Qi and held up a clam shell with both hands. The shell was filled with many white pearls.

The pearls were shiny and dazzling. The big ones were four or five inches long, and the small ones were three inches long. Each one was like a light bulb. If they were taken to Baiyue, each one would be a precious pearl worth thousands of gold.

The other party was right. It was indeed the best pearl. It had obviously reached the ninth grade, but it could already be used as the raw material for magic weapons.

Pearls above that level were no longer at the level of pearls. They could not be called "materials for magic weapons". They should be called natural magic weapons.

Just like the mirage pearls of the oyster, which could produce illusions, the oyster pearls of the oyster, which could make fire, and the pearls spit out by the hawksbill turtle, which could avoid water. These were all powerful pearls, not raw materials.

There were even other powerful things, such as dragon pearls and even a moon.

There is a poem that says: "The clam contains the bright moon and floats on the sea, and the pearl turtle in the river also spits out pearls." In this legend, the moon is the pearl spit out by the clam shell.

Of course, the moon in the world is definitely not, but the moons in other worlds may not be. These pearls can really hang in the sky as the moon.

Li Qi looked at these pearls and was secretly tempted. So he got off the old horse, stepped on the water, squatted and said to the mermaid floating in the water: "How do you sell these pearls?"

"Except for not accepting silver, everything else is fine. What do you use to pay? Whether it is pure gas beads, or talismans, magic weapons, or strange objects, they are all fine! These are just samples, there are more below!" The mermaid girl introduced to Li Qi with a smile.

Li Qi was curious, so he buried his head in the water and looked into the water.

Putting his head into the water, his eyes flickered, Li Qi could clearly see that there were many mermaids, snails, clams, sea people and the like below.

At this time, Li Qi discovered that those reefs grew directly on Dongyu's body, forming many buildings!

On the body of Dongyu, the huge puppet that sank into the sea, there is also an underwater city!

The head, hands and shoulders hold up the city in the air, while Dongyu's body is the underwater city.

Li Qi felt that his cognition was still shallow. He actually thought that Dongyu was the five trays above, but he never thought that the body of this puppet was also inhabited by underwater residents.

The corals are green, with dozens of branches on a tree, and there are no leaves between the branches. They grow in clusters in Dongyu's underwater body. Under the protection of reefs and corals, many sea dwellers can be vaguely seen living in it. They build houses in the water, covered with algae, and sleep peacefully. The structure is beautiful.

Under these reefs, Li Qi also saw countless blue and white pearl oysters, which seemed to be artificially planted oyster fields, as well as some barnacles and even farmed fish. There were sea shepherds driving the fish, but they did not use violence, but sang softly, and the fish took the initiative to gather around him and line up to eat the bait.

Li Qi raised his head from the water and said with interest: "I want your pearls. I will use two ninth-grade magic weapons to buy 100. Is this price fair?"

According to the quality of the pearl's internal energy, Li Qi felt that this was a very high price, definitely higher than the market price.

You know, the magic weapon in his hand is not a standard magic weapon, but an active magic weapon made by the witch silkworm, and the price is still higher than the standard magic weapon.

In fact, in places outside the human world, magic weapons are not so common. The magic weapon assembly line is a technology unique to the human world. Other places are still not so luxurious as to use magic weapons to lay floor tiles at home.

After saying this, Li Qi flipped his hand and took out two ninth-grade magic weapons from the mustard seed bag, a wine cup and a candle.

Ahem... Don't make fun of me, don't make fun of me, who said that tableware can't be a magic weapon? These two are genuine and have the power of the ninth grade.

With the witch silkworm, Li Qi has too many magic weapons in his hands. He usually keeps the ones that customers return or want to recast.

The wine cup can hold a large amount of liquid, a cup can hold a thousand pounds of wine, and can also perform magic. With wine, it can achieve a hypnotic effect that is as real as a dream. It can help the drinkers in Shangyuan, Tangguo, and it is also a magic weapon that can be used in various places in other places.

The candle has the function of focusing light, and it can also burn light into flames and control fire. It is used for light shows in Shangyuan, but as we all know... the spotlights on the Italian football field are also very useful on the battlefield in Africa.

For the mermaid in front of him, this is definitely a big business.

Sure enough, the merman girl was surprised and her eyes were shining.

They really shone, very brightly.

"This... this is too much. One hundred beads, only one will do." The merman girl said immediately.

Li Qi nodded.

He estimated the price higher than that of Tang State. In a place like Donghai, it should be cheaper, but this is also the reason why he took the initiative to quote a high price.

So, Li Qi said: "The extra is the reward. Miss, I am new to Dongyu. Can you lead the way for me, be my guide, and take me to get familiar with Dongyu?"

"This one is the reward for leading the way." Li Qi pointed to the lamp and said so.

"Lead the way? That's fine, but how long will it take?" The merman girl was delighted at first, then suddenly realized something and asked again.

"Not long, three days will do." Li Qi said.

"Three days!?" The merman girl was shocked.

Li Qi was stunned: "Is it too long? But if it's shorter... I'm afraid I can't finish the tour."

"No... no, three days, that ninth-grade magic weapon is too expensive, how about... seven days?" The mermaid girl pondered for a while, shaking her tail and said, while her eyes became brighter.

Li Qi was stunned.

The people in the East China Sea are so simple and honest?

The seller took the initiative to lower the high price twice, making it difficult for him to sell favors.

However, seven days is also acceptable, within the acceptable range, so Li Qi nodded: "Okay, then seven days, these two are yours."

The mermaid girl clapped her tail happily, then looked at the clam shells, picked out the extra ones, and then put the extra ones away with the belt tied around her waist, and then raised the clam shells and held them in front of Li Qi: "Please accept them, sir. As for the tour guide, when do you want to start?"

"Start from now, how about it?" Li Qi said.

Now, the mermaid girl was in trouble. She frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "But... I still need to go home and report something..."

"It's okay. I haven't decided where to stay yet. I'll just go with you. After you take care of your family affairs, you can take me around as you like. The main thing is to introduce me to the operation of Dongyu City. You don't have to worry about accommodation." Li Qi said casually.

He said so, and the mermaid girl felt relieved and nodded immediately: "Then it's as you said, sir, but is it really convenient for you? My home is in the water."

"What's wrong with being in the water? Old horse, let's go." Li Qi said to the old horse.

The old horse snorted, stepped on the water surface with his hooves and stomped lightly, and the whole horse fell directly into the water, but he didn't choke on the water. The dragon scales on his body flashed quickly, his black eyes flickered, and he quickly adapted to the water.

He is a dragon colt, and he can move freely in the water. In the water, his speed is much faster than Li Qi.

As a witch, Li Qi is self-sufficient in his own little world. He does not need to breathe and does not rely on the external environment to survive. Therefore, although he is not good at swimming and feels a sense of shackles when moving in the water, there is no problem if he simply survives in the water.

Seeing Li Qi sinking into the water, the mermaid girl also entered the water and led Li Qi underwater.

Li Qi himself is not good at swimming. If he is allowed to swim by himself, there will probably be two results.

Either in order to speed up, force yourself to become a jet, directly fly with great force, make a huge noise, and force yourself to push yourself in the water, wasting most of your strength on creating wonders. Only about 20% of the 100% of the strength can be used for acceleration, and the rest will all become huge water splash wonders, which may set off huge waves.

Or swim slowly, which is definitely faster than ordinary people, but there is a high probability that you can't swim faster than the mermaid in front of you.

That's why we have to bring Lao Ma.

But Li Qi grabbed the saddle of the old horse with one hand. The old horse just moved its hoof slightly, and the water around it actively pushed the two forward, following the mermaid.

The mermaid girl was originally worried that Li Qi could not keep up, but after discovering the dragon colt's ability to control water, she no longer worried and swam directly underwater.

Li Qi and the old horse followed downstream.

However, as they swam, the surroundings became darker and darker, and beautiful stars appeared. The sky turned into a deep night sky full of stars, and the stars changed with the rotation of the light.

Li Qi was stunned and couldn't help observing the scene around him.

But these are nothing. The most eye-catching thing is the full moon above his head.

It is daytime now, and there will be no moon.

Moreover, the moon at this time should be a new moon, but... the bright and flawless moon that suddenly appeared is a round full moon.

However, Li Qi even felt that the ocean had a tide due to the gravity of the moon, but this tide did not bring an impact. The sea water just rose slowly and then fell.

Li Qi and Lao Ma were a little surprised by the sudden appearance of a sky full of stars and a full moon.

But the mermaids around them seemed to be used to it.

So, Li Qi looked around at the stars and the full moon, and immediately realized that they were not the moon and stars.

They were... pearls.

Countless pearls were projected onto the sea above, forming a beautiful sky.
