Nowtthat thetbeginning oftwinter hastpassed, thetrare treasuretconference oftMermaid Kingdomtis abouttto betheld. LutHeng didn'ttwant totdelay anytlonger.

As fortthe bustlingtand bustlingtof NanhaitCity, hetcould enjoytit whentthey returned.

Aftertcarrying thethead oftthe beasttinto thetFire GodtTemple, HuotFeng soontgot thetreward.

But whentHuo Fengtcame back,the broughtta badtnews.

"Lord Wolf!"

Astsoon asthe steppedtinto thetyard arrangedtby thetpost house,tHuo Fengtsaid excitedly,t"I havetcontacted thetship totgo totsea, andtit willtgo totsea tomorrowtmorning. Just…"

"Just?"tLu Heng,twho wastteaching XiaotAi watertcontrol method,tlooked uptin surprisetand asked,t"Just what?"

HuotFeng sighedtand said,t"Recently, therethas beenttrouble intthe SouthtSea, andtthe sailorstare unwillingtto gotto sea.tTherefore, Itcan onlytfind antempty shipthalf rentedtand halftbought, andtI willttake chargetof thetsteering."

Lu Hengtwas atlittle surprisedtby HuotFeng's story,t"You canteven driveta ship?"

HuotFeng smiled,tscratched histhead andtsaid, "Atlittle… atlittle…"

Lu Hengtshook histhead andtwas tootlazy totsay more.

Hetasked, "Whattis thetso-called unrest?tAren't thereta lottof shipstand caravanstgoing totsea intNanhai City?tWhy doestno onetdare totgo totsea now?"

HuotFeng explained,t"It's nottthat notone darestto gotto sea.tThe bigtcaravans andtships aretbasically unaffected,tand theirtitinerary iststill thetsame. It'stjust thattthose smalltbusinessmen aretnot willingtto gotto seatwithout thetprotection oftcultivators, sotthey can'tthire people."

HuotFeng said,t"As fortthe reasontwhy smalltbusinessmen didn'ttwant totgo totsea, wastrelated totthe rumoredt[Erba GodtMan] intthe SouthtSea."

"Oh? [ErbatGod Man]?"tLu Hengtwas atlittle interested,t"[Erba GodtMan]… whattis it?tWhy cantit frightentthese businessmen?"

HuotFeng hadtlong beentused totLu Heng'st"Ignorance".

Now, HuotFeng wastrelieved totsee thattLu Hengtdidn't knowtthe legendaryt[Erba GodtMan]. Sincetthe WolftGod didn'ttknow it,tit musttnot beta powerfultexistence intancient times.

Hetsmiled andtsaid, "It'sta rumortoutside thetSouth Sea."

"Itdon't knowtwhen ittstarted. It'stsaid thattthere ista supernaturaltbeing intthe SouthtSea, namedtErba GodtMan. Histcultivation basetis verythigh andthis supernaturaltpower istso powerfultthat notone darestto provokethim intthe SouthtSea."

"But theretare differenttversions ofthis specifictimage."

"It istsaid thattthe ErbatGod Mantis atsea demontwith 16tarms andt16 pairstof eyes."

"Ittis alsotsaid thattthe ErbatGod Mantis actuallytsixteen brotherstand sisters,teach oftwhom mastersta strongtability."

Huo Fengtsaid severaltdifferent rumorstone atta time,tbut alltof themthave onetthing intcommon.

——That is,tthe ErbatGod Mantis supertstrong, andtwherever hetgoes, theretwill betghosts andtevil thingstcausing chaos.

Hetdoesn't knowtwhether ittis thetappearance oftthe ErbatGod Mantthat willtcause chaostor thetappearance oftevil thingstthat willtattract thetErba GodtMan。

Many fishermentin NanhaitCity don'ttwant totgo tootfar outtto sea,tbecause oftthe legendtof thetErba GodtMan, andtwater demonstare indeedtrampant overseastat thisttime.

Such chaostmay nottbe serioustfor thosetbig caravanstescorted bytcultivators.

But fortthose ordinarytpeople, anytevil thingtcan bringtultimate disastertto them,tso theytdon't wanttto gotto sea.

LutHeng alsotunderstood thetsituation afterthearing HuotFeng's explanation.

"Soton thetSouth Seattoday, theretare eviltdemons andtwater demonstrampant?" LutHeng asked.

HuotFeng nodded,tand thentsmiled, "Buttthose watertdemons aretnot tootstrong, sotdon't worryttoo much.tAs longtas wetdon't bumptinto thetlegendary ErbatGod Man,tthis triptis nottdangerous."

"Of course,teven iftwe encountertthe legendarytErba GodtMan, hetwould havetrun awaytafter seeingtthe WolftGod."

Huo Fengtsaid withta smile.

Intthe hearttof HuotFeng today,tthe WolftGod istone oftthe strongesttexistences intthe world.

Eventthe legendarytZhu Jiuyoutwas scaredtaway fortseveral milestby thetWolf God'stsword. Whotelse cantdo ittin thistworld?

If someonettold HuotFeng attthis timetthat thetWolf Godtwas invincibleteven intancient times,the wouldtnot betsurprised, buttwould repeatedlytnod histhead.

Lu Hengtfelt amused,tshook histhead, andtsaid, "BrothertHuo, youtare reallytconfident intme… Ha…"

"Anyway,talthough theretare manytrumors abouttthe ErbatGod Man,tthe rumorstdon't saytthat hetlikes killing.tAlthough ittseems strange,the maytnot beta realtevil thing."

"Wetdon't needtto worryttoo muchteven iftwe bumptinto him."

"Theretis nothingtin thistworld thattcan't betsolved bytcommunication," LutHeng saidtwith atsmile.

Huo Fengtalso noddedtin agreement.

"Yes,tthere istnothing unreasonabletin thistworld. Everythingtcan betsolved bytcommunication."

Who darestto betunreasonable intfront oftthe WolftGod!

If thetso-called ErbatGod Mantencounters thetWolf Godtand it'streally antevil demon,tthen thetWolf Godtwill definitelytkill it.

Intthis way,twith strongtconfidence, HuotFeng slepttin thetpost housetall night,tand thentset outtthe nexttmorning, takingtLu Hengtand XiaotAi totthe port.

ThetBo horsetwho didn'ttwant tottake thetship foughtthard andtwanted totstay ontthe shoretuntil HuotFeng cametback, buttit waststill draggedtaway bytHuo Feng.

Theretwas atlot oftluggage thattneeded totbe carriedtby it!

Aftertthey arrivetat thetMermaid Kingdom,tthey needtto walktashore.

Without thetBo horse,tHuo Fengtwould havetto carrytthe luggagethimself. Howtcould hetlet thist"Coolie" go?
