Sea-hunting: With the system in hand, my eyes are the ruler

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment and then spoke up, "Uncle Xin, hello. I'm a friend of Xin Gaoyang's, and the one he mentioned seeing the tiger dragon."

"So you're Gao Yang's friend. Do you have anything to ask?"

"Well, I want to know if there's any connection between the Tiger Dragon and the Deep Sea Dragon Sucking Water?"

There was silence again on the other end. After a while, Xin Li finally spoke, "You can find this in the data. Jiaos are usually related to water. You must ask if the tiger jiao is related to the deep-sea dragon that sucks water. There might be a connection."

Xin Gaoyang was overwhelmed. "Dad, why are you so ambiguous? This is not in line with your profession."

Xin Li choked and said, "You little brat, I can't say anything about your friend, right?"

"Dad, my friend is not an outsider, just tell me what you want to say."

Xin Lizhen was really angry with his son, but since he was asked about this matter, he couldn't just say nothing.

"There are many legends about the Tiger Flood Dragon. Some say it's the offspring of a dragon and a tiger. Others say it's a dragon that ate a tiger, and the two merged into one, becoming the Tiger Flood Dragon. Another theory is that there's a type of dragon that can easily eat a tiger on the ground, hence the name Tiger Flood Dragon."

Xin Li paused. "I'm more inclined to the last one. 'A hungry dragon lurks in the pond, it drops its tail to take down a thirsty tiger.' This means the tiger dragon in the pond stuns the tiger with its tail and then eats it. This suggests the tiger dragon has the power to eat tigers. I've seen many paintings of tiger dragons with tiger heads, but in reality, the Classic of Mountains and Seas never mentions a tiger dragon with a tiger's face. Instead, archaeological discoveries elsewhere suggest the tiger dragon has the face of a mandarin duck. Therefore, the second theory, that the tiger dragon is a tiger and a fusion of dragon and dragon, is untrue. The first theory, that the tiger dragon is the offspring of a tiger and a dragon, is also impossible. The tiger dragon is simply a type of dragon, one that can easily eat a tiger."

Jiang Han took a deep breath and said, "The head I saw really looked like a mandarin duck's head."

Xin Li fell silent again. After an unknown amount of time, Xin Li spoke again, "Then what you saw must be a real tiger dragon. Dragons can control water, and tiger dragons also have excellent water control abilities, even the ability to summon wind and rain. It's no surprise that he was able to get a deep-sea dragon to suck water."

Xin Gaoyang's mouth opened in surprise. "Did the tiger dragon really get the Deep Sea Dragon Creek water from yesterday? What hatred and resentment must it have? It's chasing our ship!"

Xin Li was stunned for a moment, then he jumped up from the armchair. "What did you say? Did you provoke the Tiger Dragon?"

"How could we possibly provoke it? It was following us, it provoked us."

Xin Li took a deep breath. He tugged at the collar of his coat, feeling a surge of irritation. "Where are you?"

“The Indian Ocean!”

"Why are you all going to the Indian Ocean?"

"Dad, you talk so strangely. Of course we're going to the Indian Ocean for something. You haven't finished telling us about the tiger dragon yet."

Xin Li paced around the house in frustration. "I haven't told anyone about this in all these years. I'll just tell you this once. Once you understand, quickly run inland and stay away from the sea."

Xin Gaoyang opened his mouth in surprise. "Is it really that exaggerated? Do we still have to run inland to hide?"

Xin Li took a sip of tea to calm himself. "You're young, and you've been taught materialism, so naturally you're fearless. But some things are really different from what you learned in your textbooks."

"Dad, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

"Do you know how to pray over a mountain?"

Xin Gaoyang and Jiang Han both remembered.

"Uncle Xin, is Praying Over the Mountain also related to the Tiger Dragon?"

Xin Li nodded. "That's right. Five hundred miles east of Tianyu Mountain is a mountain called the Prayer Mountain. There are five popular theories about the location of the Prayer Mountain. The first theory states that the mountain is in Bobai County, Yulin City. The second theory states that the mountain is in Duliu River, Guizhou. The third theory states that the mountain is on the Chanbang Plateau. The fourth theory states that the mountain is in Guangdong and Guangxi. The last theory states that the mountain is in the Qiangchen Demon Mountain in Tibet."
