Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 216: The River Where No Water Tribes Are Seen

The rivers flow fast.

A lone boat is ferring across the river. Sitting by the boat and looking down from below, the water is so clear that you can see the sand and rocks at the bottom of the river at a glance.

"We've been sailing for so long, but we haven't seen even a single fish or shrimp. Where have they gone? They can't have been eaten by the sea soul beasts that migrated to this river!"

Lin Rong sat on the edge of a solitary boat, holding a reed in his hand and paddling on the river, creating ripples of varying sizes.

"It's a little strange."

At the end of the boat, the old butler sat there rowing the oars, and said with a guess:
“Even if all the fish and shrimp in the rivers are eaten by the migrating sea soul beasts, there will at least be traces of sea soul beasts living here, so there won’t be no sea or river aquatic creatures to be seen.”

So, Lin Rong turned his gaze to the man in black who was tied up in the lonely boat.

Under the black hood was a slightly old face and a slightly long gray beard.

And on the lapel of the black shirt, there is a blue and gold seahorse embroidered.

In this way, the identity of the man in black is self-evident. He is Seahorse Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God.

Lin Rong poked Seahorse Douluo's face with the reed in his hand and asked:
"Didn't you say that the 100,000-year-old three-eyed demon whale lives in this river? What's the situation now? You'd better give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise I will burn this black robe on you that symbolizes the honor of the Pillar Guard Douluo."

Each of the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo is a loyal believer of the Sea God and will not betray him.

Therefore, if you want Seahorse Douluo to be obedient, you have to threaten him with something he cares about.

The black robe he was wearing was the one that was awarded to him by the High Priest Poseidon himself when he became the Guardian of the Seahorse Holy Pillar. It was a black robe symbolizing honor.

Lin Rong was able to obtain the location of the river where the Three-eyed Demon Whale lived from Seahorse Douluo using the same method.

Seahorse Douluo felt the touch of the reeds on his face, and a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration spread in his heart.

He was only heading to a border city of the Seagod Empire on the mainland, but he happened to run into an old man and a young boy on the outskirts of that city.

Then, no more...

"I don't know the situation either." Hai Ma was afraid that his black robe would be burned, so he explained:
"In the beginning, we only divided the river areas for the sea soul beasts to live in, and the habitat area divided for the three-eyed demon whale and its tribe is this river."

"We will not be in charge of what happens next."

"After all, humans and beasts have different paths. Although they all believe in the Lord of the Sea, there is not much communication between them. It can even be said that there is almost no communication between them."

"Really?" Lin Rong narrowed his eyes and poked Seahorse Douluo's cheek hard with the reed in his hand.

"I understand that you are no longer useful, is that what you mean?"

He snapped his fingers, and a small orange flame appeared at the tips of his fingers. He then put his fingers close to the black hood on the edge of Seahorse Douluo's cheek, with the flame less than two or three centimeters away from the hood fabric.

"A flame generated by pure soul power. Do you want to try and see if this flame can ignite the black robe you are wearing?"

"No, don't!" Seahorse Douluo said in horror.

He tried to stay calm, fearing that if his head shook, the hood on his face would accidentally touch the small flame on Lin Rong's fingertips.

"Let me think about it. Let me think about it again..."

Hippocampus Douluo's brain was working rapidly, searching for useful information in his memory.

Perhaps it was because of the flames that were so close that they threatened the black robe that symbolized his honor, that he quickly found some useful information in the vast sea of ​​memories in his mind. "A pilgrimage, a pilgrimage!"

Seahorse Douluo said hurriedly:
"I once saw a record in an ancient book on Seagod Island. It said that every hundred years, all sea soul beasts who believe in Lord Seagod will go to the shore of Seagod Island to worship Lord Seagod. The pilgrimage lasts for seven days."

Sea soul beast pilgrimage?
Lin Rong retracted his fingers and gently blew out the small flame on his fingertips.

"So the three-eyed demon whale is currently on the coast of Sea God Island, and with it are six other hundred thousand year old sea soul beasts and their tribes that have migrated inland."

Looking at the empty river, one thing was confirmed, that is, the aquatic creatures living in this river were really eaten up by those sea soul beasts, without a single one left.

After a moment of silence for the aquatic creatures here, Lin Rong took out a magnificent and luxurious ship named Zhenyue from a specially made soul guide.

The Zhenyue entered the water, and its huge weight created a huge wave.

"Grandpa Yu, let's go." Lin Rong looked at the old butler.

"Let's go to Poseidon Island and see how spectacular the sea soul beast pilgrimage is."

After saying that, he leaped and landed on the deck of the Zhenyue.

Behind him, the old butler also put away the oars and the lone boat under his feet. The moment he put away the lone boat, he picked up the bound Seahorse Douluo with one hand and jumped to Lin Rong's side.

Whether in his past life or this life, Lin Rong has never been to the sea, so naturally he doesn't know how to sail a boat.

The same goes for the old butler. Rafting is easy, as everyone can row a double oar, but he doesn't know how to raise the sails or steer the steering on a large sailboat like the Zhenyue.

But that’s not a problem. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know how to do it, as long as someone does.

Lin Rong looked at the tied Seahorse Douluo beside him, waved his hand and condensed his soul power into a wind blade to cut the ropes on him, and said:

"As a sea dweller who has lived on Poseidon Island since childhood, don't tell me you can't sail a boat."

After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything else, but just snapped his fingers again, and a flame ignited at the tips of his fingers.

"Yes, I will." Seahorse Douluo rubbed his arms which were a little sore from being tied up, nodded vigorously and answered.

Although he was no longer tied to a rope, he did not have any intention of escaping.

What had bound him before were just ordinary ropes. As a Titled Douluo, he could break free from the ropes at any time if he wanted to.

Because what restricted his freedom was not the ropes that bound him, but the terrifying strength of the old man and the young man in front of him.

Titled Douluo is already at the pinnacle of the soul master world, second only to the legendary hundred-level godhood.

Therefore, how could a proud person like him not have resisted, and then witnessed what kind of strength was that made people feel despair.

After realizing the difference in strength between them, Seahorse Douluo completely gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

The soul power circulated throughout the body, eliminating the numbness in the limbs caused by being tied up for a long time.

Then he raised the sail on the deck somewhat awkwardly and turned the rudder to adjust the course.

A creaking sound was heard, and the Zhenyue turned 180 degrees on the river and began to move rapidly in a certain direction.
