Chapter 48 Linhai City
It was already getting late after Wang Nan came out of the souvenir shop. After a quick dinner, he returned to the hotel.
The next morning, Zhang Lexuan came back from the palace very early.
After revealing their identities, the members of the Douling Empire's royal family not only told everything they knew about the situation, but also sent Zhang Lexuan to the hotel in person, preparing to send someone to follow them to perform surveillance tasks.
Of course, this is just because they are polite as Shrek disciples. You must know that it is precisely because the royal family is inconvenient to take action that Wang Nan and the others came here.
In the end, Zhang Lexuan refused the royal family's arrangement.
After leaving Lingdou City, several people flew towards Linhai City in the southeast direction.
As the name suggests, Linhai City is a city next to the sea. There are many villages around it. The people inside rely on the sea for their lives. Most of them are ordinary people, and there is basically no trace of the soul master.
"I didn't expect so many ordinary people living near the sea." Several people landed on the ground. Ye Xiaosheng looked at the sea illuminated by the setting sun in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Junior Brother Ye doesn't know. In fact, for ordinary people, the seaside is safer." Dai Yueheng replied to him.
"Oh? Why is this? I remember it was recorded in the book that the number of soul beasts in the sea is actually more than that on land, right?"
"Indeed, the number of soul beasts in the sea is huge. In addition, once our soul masters reach the sea, their strength will be greatly reduced, so sea soul beasts are rarely used as the source of soul rings. Therefore, the overall strength of sea soul beasts is also Be on land."
"So isn't the sea more dangerous? How come there are so many ordinary people living by the sea?"
A hint of pride appeared on Dai Yueheng's face, "That's because Tang San, the ancestor of the first generation of Shrek's Seven Monsters ten thousand years ago, became the God of the Sea. Under his command, all sea soul beasts will enter the deep sea to live. It won’t be easy to get to the shore.”
"So for ordinary people, the seaside is relatively safe. It is for this reason that the shipping of several major empires is relatively close to the mainland to avoid contact with the soul beasts in the deep sea."
"Why did the Poseidon give such an order?" Ye Xiaosheng asked.
"Well...of course it's to protect ordinary people living by the sea." Dai Yueheng seemed not to have expected Ye Xiaosheng to ask such a question, and he paused before answering.
While Wang Nan was listening, he was thinking about other things.
The conflict between soul masters and soul beasts on land is increasing day by day. Hunting sea soul beasts is actually a feasible way out, especially now that soul guides are constantly developing, it is only a matter of time before people set foot in the sea.
"Senior Brother Ye, hasn't the soul guidance department researched soul guidance devices that can be used in the ocean?"
Ye Xiaosheng glanced at Wang Nan and said, "Actually, there is nothing to hide. It is said that the Sun and Moon Empire is already developing a device called an all-terrain soul guide."
"It is a soul guidance device that allows soul masters to ride in it, but it is too complicated, and the academy has never figured out how to make it. If the Sun and Moon Empire can continue to research in this direction, maybe Soon we will be able to develop soul guides that can penetrate deep into the ocean."
"Okay, let's not chat for now. Bring all the clothes from the Shrek Supervisory Team and change your clothes. It's almost time." As night came, Zhang Lexuan interrupted the conversation of several people, "Senior Sister Han, control I'll leave it to you." "Okay." Han Ruoruo nodded slightly.
In fact, although the tasks of the Shrek Supervisory Team are somewhat dangerous, the process is very simple. Most missions involve arriving at the destination based on the news, and then wiping out the local evil soul master is enough.
The costumes of the Shrek Supervisory Team are dark green, and because they are equipped with masks and cloaks, after several people have changed their costumes, it is almost impossible to determine who is who, and they can only make a rough guess based on their body shape.
"According to the information provided by Dou Ling Empire, the recently missing children are all little girls around six years old. They were seen appearing in the city. Our first goal is to confirm the location of these children and try our best to rescue them. "
Zhang Lexuan arranged, "Once it is confirmed that the target is the evil soul master, we will take action decisively. Let's go."
Although it is called a city, the scale of this city is too small. There are only two relatively wide streets in the city, which intersect with each other and divide the entire Linhai City into four parts. The city wall was only a dozen meters high, and several of them were soul masters, so they could easily climb over it with a little help.
Unlike Lingdou City, which is the capital city, the entire city had already darkened shortly after nightfall, with almost no pedestrians visible on the streets. Occasionally, the loud shouting of a few drunkards could be heard from a tavern.
In the distance, several tall houses could be seen with lights on. Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly when she saw this. Because according to the information provided by the royal family of the Douling Empire, that was the place where someone saw the missing child.
Are these people so arrogant?
Zhang Lexuan was confused. After thinking for a while, she said, "You guys wait here for a moment. I'll go over and check the situation first."
"Wait a minute Le Xuan, it's better to find someone to come with you so that the two of you can take care of you." Han Ruoruo stopped her.
"I'll go with senior sister." Wang Nan took the initiative. He was also very confused in his heart. Since entering the city, the light group in his spiritual sea has not moved at all. If there is really an evil soul master in the city, the light group will at least flicker slightly.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Wang Nan, unable to see her expression clearly through the mask, "Okay, you will follow me and retreat immediately if there is any danger. Do you understand?"
Wang Nan nodded, and the two of them headed towards those houses.
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the house, and Wang Nan was even more confused. No matter how weak the people in the room are, as long as they are evil soul masters, the light group should be able to react at this distance.
Could it be that the evil soul masters were not responsible for the disappearance of these children?
While moving forward, Wang Nan suddenly felt that the surrounding air was a little moister than before. This city is close to the sea, and the air is already humid than other places, but Wang Nan has been paying attention to the surrounding environment because of the reaction of the light group. Although it is only a trivial change, he still captured this subtle change with his mental power.
"Senior sister, be careful!" Wang Nan whispered and hurriedly stopped, "We should have been discovered."
Zhang Lexuan turned around and glanced at Wang Nan doubtfully, but still believed Wang Nan's judgment. The martial soul was activated, and six soul rings rose instantly. Zhang Lexuan grabbed Wang Nan and retreated.
When the few people waiting in the distance saw what was happening here, they immediately activated their martial spirits. Ma Xiaotao took the lead and rushed towards this side.
"Who is it?" A loud shout came from the room.
