Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, Yiyin vaguely felt that the green-haired turtle was dragging him.

What's happening here?

Yi Yin opened her eyes with great effort and found herself lying in a houseboat.

Fortunately, I am still alive.

Just as Yi Yin was about to move, he felt thirsty, as if he hadn't had water for many days, and hurriedly tried to find a source of water.

As if seeing Yiyin's need, a pair of hands came over with a glass of water. Yiyin picked up the water without saying a word and drank it.

After drinking a large glass of water, Yiyin realized that the person who brought her the water was a dark-skinned and strong old man.

As a result of years of wind and rain, the old man's skin became rough and covered with knife-like grooves.

Despite this, the old man spoke with great vigor.

"It's really dangerous. You guys came to the saltwater zone without any preparation. You're simply seeking death. If you weren't lucky enough to meet me, you would have been finished long ago."

"Thank you."

Yiyin said gratefully, "So what's the situation now?"

The old man sighed and said, "My name is Nuzak. I'm a fisherman. I've been working in the saltwater zone for many years. I've seen many people who overestimate their abilities, but it's rare to see someone as young as you."

"That's because we have a reason to go..."

Before Yi Yin could finish his words, he heard ghosts howling and wolves howling.

"This is my houseboat," Nuzak explained. "I pulled you out of the water. If you stay in the saltwater for too long, even the gods can't heal you."

Yi Yin felt a little dizzy, and he subconsciously touched his head. He was relieved to find that the green-haired turtle was still there. But when he thought of his companions, he couldn't sit still anymore and struggled to get out of bed.

Nuzak came over and helped him up.

"You can only go here, no further. Once your companions have regained consciousness, leave as soon as possible."

Yiyin nodded without comment and decided to see how the others were doing first.

Yiyin and Nuzak went to other rooms and found Bubulu spinning around very energetically. It was obvious that the loud shout just now was made by him.

Jiaozi and Diqi were watching silently on the side.

"This……"

Yiyin didn't know what was going on.

"There was water in Bubulu's ears, and Jiaozi told him that he could flush the water out by spinning it continuously." Diqi said briefly.

After a while, Bubulu finally sat down on the ground, and the four-legged beast in his coffin also collapsed on the ground with dizzy eyes.

"It's my fault……"

At this moment, Mr. Brownson also walked in. He looked very bad and seemed to have not yet recovered from the shadow of the shipwreck.

"No, this is not your problem."

"A large piece of ice recently appeared in the shallows of the saltwater zone," Nuzak said. "Any boat approaching it will inevitably collide with it and lose control. Some unlucky people have lost their boats and lives on the spot."

Jiaozi seemed to have sensed some intelligence and quickly came over to ask:

"Shallow area? Is there a deep area in the saltwater zone?"

"That's right," Nuzak replied. "The saltwater zone is roughly divided into three major areas: the shallow zone, the middle zone, and the deep zone. The deeper you go, the slimmer your chances of returning to land, and the more dangerous it becomes. The saltwater zone we usually refer to is actually specifically the deep zone, also known as the Fourth Labyrinth Sea. No one who has entered the deep zone has ever returned."

Nuzak's words cast a shadow over everyone's heart.

They are only in the outermost shallow area now, and they have already destroyed the Thirteenth Princess's ship. If they go deeper, who knows what will happen.

"By the way, where's the young lady?"

Yi Yin then thought of Selena. Since everyone was able to get out of bed and jump around, Selena should be fine too, right?

"You mean that little girl? Her situation is different from yours."

Nuzak brought Yiyin and others to another room, where Selina was sleeping soundly... No, she looked very bad, with sweat on her forehead and she kept mumbling something.

Bubulu, who had the best hearing, leaned over to her ear and listened carefully for a while, then read out Selena's murmurs.

"Is it... an assassin from my homeland... or someone who is trying to disturb the Qingce Water..."

"It can transform into any form... This is the power of 'water'..."

After hearing this, everyone was confused. Could it be that Selina had gone crazy again?

"Well……"

At this moment, Selina twisted her body and opened her eyes with difficulty.

Everyone was very happy to see Selena come back to life.

"Big sister, are you okay? I was really scared just now." Bubulu said, patting his chest.

Selina said nothing, just raised her arm.

Selena wasn't wearing long sleeves, so one could clearly see a long series of light blue marks on her blood vessels. These marks seemed to be tied to her blood vessels, which looked very strange.

Everyone was shocked to see this situation, but fortunately, at least for now, it would not threaten Selena's life.

Selina shook her head.

"Just now I seemed to hear a voice calling me, saying something like 'It's decided to be you'. It made me feel a little dizzy now."

"Okay, now that you're all awake, let's go back quickly."

Nuzak said bluntly, "You are just sleeping for a while now. If you go any further, you won't wake up again."

"no!"

Selina suddenly started screaming hysterically, "I have to get to the saltwater zone and find the Pirate King's secret treasure! ...I have to!"

Seeing Selina's firm attitude, Nuzak didn't say anything, but just silently took out things from the pocket hanging on the wall.

what is that?

Yi Yin rubbed his eyes. The pocket on the wall was actually similar to his storage ring and could hold many treasures.

There are headscarves, whips, candles, keys, tights, hats, illustrated books... and so on, too numerous to mention.

Everyone looked at Nuzak in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"These were dropped by those who attempted to reach the Deep Zone. They got lost there, and not even their bodies were left intact. Only some of their belongings followed the water upstream and came to me."

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.

There are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of things in this pocket. Could it be that this is how Nuzak makes a living?

"There is no end to the suffering. Turn back now. This is a road of no return. Leave here quickly while you still can."

Nuzak tried to persuade Bubulu and his companions earnestly, trying to get them to turn back from their wrong path.

"No, I have to go."

Selina got off the bed and said with a sharp gaze, "For my future and my happiness, this is a step I must take no matter what."

The others also stood behind Selena without hesitation, expressing their strong support for her.

"Really? As expected, it's like this again."

Nuzak sighed, "If you think you're fully enlightened, then follow me. I'll take you to the middle zone of the saltwater zone. From there, whether you can make it through to the fourth labyrinth sea area will depend on you. Let me tell you, once you reach the middle zone, it won't be easy to turn back. If you're ready, follow me."

After saying that, Nuzak walked away on his own.

"..."

Selina took a deep breath and looked at her friends, trying to persuade them not to follow her, but what she saw in their eyes was a clear fearless courage.

"How can we give up halfway?"

Mr. Brownson said, "The more dangerous the place, the more tempting it is to go deeper."

Once on board, getting off the pirate ship was nearly impossible. Realizing this, everyone hurried to follow Nuzak.
