Chapter 376: Blade Scale Whale
Zhao Hai turned to Jin An and asked, "We're going to Monkey Head Island, do you know the way?"
Jin An nodded, "I know, young master, don't worry. However, young master, the magical beasts on that island are quite difficult to handle. I’ve heard they are a type of ape-like magical beast, large in size, with extremely strong defenses, immense strength, and very agile movements. Living on the island for so long has made them good swimmers, making them quite tricky to deal with. Although they are only level six or seven, their combat power is comparable to that of an eighth-level expert. As for their leader, while it is an eighth-level magical beast, its combat power is not inferior to a ninth-level expert, but it can't fly. Young master, why not choose another island?"
Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "No need, Monkey Head Island is just perfect. The more magical beasts on the island, the better. I need magical beasts right now. How many days will it take to get from here to Monkey Head Island?"
Jin An said, "It will take about five days. Monkey Head Island is close to the deep sea. If we go further in for about a day, we’ll be in the territory of the sea tribe, so very few ships venture there."
Zhao Hai nodded, "That makes it even better. It suits our needs perfectly. Let’s set off." Jin An responded and turned to adjust the course.
Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, why choose there? It's too close to the sea tribe. If they attack, we will be the first targets."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "It's nothing to worry about. Monkey Head Island is just a stopping point for us, and it’s close to the deep sea. Some creatures from the deep sea might come there, which would greatly benefit the upgrade of our space. Besides, there are very few people who go there, and the terrain is perilous. As long as we hold that one vital route, it will be our territory. We don't need to worry about the sea tribe. Once we capture some sea magical beasts, we can attempt to make contact. Moreover, didn't you say it before? If we can't fight, we can always run."
Laura laughed, "That's good. If we really can't handle it, we can just run. But it seems like you have your eyes set on those magical beasts on the island, right?"
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "You understand me well. I am indeed interested in the magical beasts on that island. Although we have many in our space, their combat power isn't very strong. The magical beasts Jin An mentioned have strong combat capabilities, which is exactly what we need."
Laura nodded, "That sounds good. With these magical beasts, I hope the space can upgrade quickly. As long as the poison in you is resolved, everything else will be easy to handle."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Yes, as long as the poison is resolved, my last concern will be gone. Now that I have both of you here, I certainly don't want to die so early."
Both Laura and Meg blushed but felt delighted in their hearts. They knew Zhao Hai was speaking sincerely, and that’s why they were happy.
Zhao Hai looked at their expressions and smiled, "Heaven truly favors me, bringing both of you to my side. Haha, it seems I must have done a lot of good deeds for heaven to treat me this way."
Meg couldn't help but laugh, "Come on, young master, you doing good deeds? When you were in the Imperial Capital, every time you went out, people on the street would turn and run. How could you do good deeds?"
Laura also laughed. She had heard about Adam's misdeeds in the Imperial Capital, and now hearing Meg tease Zhao Hai made her feel very entertained.
As the group chatted and laughed, mealtime arrived, and they naturally had fish. Although Zhao Hai's space had everything, it would be unreasonable to be at sea and not eat fish, so he released a few barracudas to catch some fish for them to eat.
This not only provided them with fish but also increased the variety of magical beasts in their space. At first, Zhao Hai didn't know that barracudas could go into the sea. It was only after asking Jin An that he learned that barracudas were indeed magical beasts of the sea; they only went into the sea during breeding season and lived there most of the time. Thus, Zhao Hai felt assured to release the barracudas.
