Chapter 874 Ch 874: Some Minor Events (1)

_Ancient Divine World, Myriad Demon City_
After Lin Hao used the teleportation circle, instead of appearing in the Scarlet Flame Empire, he appeared in the Myriad Demon City. He immediately understood that this was deliberately done by that damn guard who was injured by him previously.
But this was nothing compared to the most infuriating thing that the guard had done. He was actually separated from Meng Fu. He guessed the Meng Fu must have ended up transported to some other city or country.
Well, he asked around and found out that the Scarlet Flame Empire is very far away from the Myriad Demon City. But he could use a teleportation circle from the closest city to go to the Myriad Demon City.
However, in order to go to the closest city, he has to first cross a sea that is filled with dangers. What is more, there is some water-type race living inside this sea.
No matter what, Lin Hao was determined to go to the closest city and use the teleportation formation there. So, he arrived in front of the sea and started flying in order to cross it. However, he was still midway when a strange creature appeared out of nowhere and attacked him. And to retaliate, he also attacked.
Surprisingly, both their strength seemed equal. Of course, Lin Hao had yet to make use of God Slaying Sword.
Just as Lin Hao was thinking if he should hold the God Slaying Sword again in order to get out of this difficult situation or not, that strange creature transformed into a black-scaled man and suddenly spoke out.
"Human, can we talk properly?"
Talk properly?
Lin Hao was startled, he did not understand what the other party meant. It seemed like he was the one who made the first move, right?
Lin Hao had only exploded in a counterattack when he had just arrived at a dangerous point in time. But now, why is it that the other party didn\'t even seem to want to deal with him?
"What are you trying to say?" Although he did not understand the other party\'s intention, but since the other party wanted to talk, Lin Hao would naturally agree to it, for he also doesn\'t want to keep fighting a meaningless battle.
"I\'m sorry for what happened just now, but I was in a hurry so I was flying at my full speed and almost accidentally injured you. But since you also attacked me, we\'ll treat it as even." The black-scaled man heaved a sigh of relief and replied.
Although he had transformed into a man from that huge strange creature, his entire body was still covered with black scales. Moreover, he wasn\'t even wearing a single layer of cloth.
His words surprised Lin Hao. Was this what the other party wanted to say? This made him not able to think of what to say.
"Who are you? Why did you come here?" Lin Hao asked. Since the black-scaled man said that it was because of his fast speed that he was unable to control that he collided against Lin Hao, then Lin Hao would not be tangled on this point. No matter what, the opponent\'s strength was still slightly stronger than him. Only if he made use of God Slaying Sword in battle could he defeat this opponent of his. Without the God Slaying Sword, although both of them were fighting equally for now, he knew he would have soon fallen at disadvantage.
"Mm… I am the Black-scaled Hydra Emperor who is also the ruler of the Black-scaled Hydra Race." The black-scaled man paused for a moment, then revealed his identity. Upon hearing his words, Lin Hao\'s eyes instantly widened.
"What? You are the Black-scaled Hydra Emperor?" Lin Hao never thought that he would actually bump into Black-scaled Hydra Emperor here.
"That\'s not right, someone in the Myriad Demon City clearly told me that Black-scaled Hydra Emperor is currently cultivating in seclusion in order to make a breakthrough in cultivation."
The Black-scaled Hydra Emperor did not care about what Lin Hao said and laughed: "Haha, I am indeed the Black-scaled Hydra Emperor. Believing or not is up to you. As for the matter of my seclusion, it is because I deliberately spread this news that\'s why you heard this. In fact, I was planning to leave the Black-scaled Hydra Race for the time being. But because of the restriction placed by the first Hydra Emperor of my race, I\'m unable to leave this sea area.
"Couldn\'t leave the sea?" Lin Hao felt surprised when he heard this. He didn\'t expect the Black-scaled Hydra Emperor who is famous throughout the entire Myriad Demon City to be restricted and not be able to leave the sea area.
The Black-scaled Hydra Emperor nodded seriously and said, "That\'s right. Do you think I would have stayed here for so long if not for the restriction? I would have already gone to explore the world and broaden my horizon. Actually, every generation\'s Hydra Emperor is restricted from leaving the sea."
"Every Hydra Emperor? It means other Black-scaled Hydras could leave the sea as they wish!" Lin Hao asked.
"Of course, they can!" The Black-scaled Hydra Emperor nodded his head and replied.
Lin Hao then realized something else and again asked: "Since you can\'t leave, it is your problem. Why did you stop me? And why were you in a hurry?"
"Actually, I was going to the center of the sea. After a thorough investigation and search, I finally found out how to break the restriction. At the center of the sea, the first Hydra Emperor has left behind a mirror. As long as the mirror is there, I will stay restricted. And Mirror could only be broken by any person other than the member of Black-scaled Hydra Race."
Lin Hao only now understood everything. He said: "Hmm... So you must be in a hurry after finding out the mirror and wanted to obtain it before inviting someone to break it for you. But you met me here so you stopped me, thinking of making me help you break the mirror. Right?"
The Black-scaled Hydra Emperor nodded his head and smiled. He said: "As long as you could break the mirror, I\'ll fulfill one of your requests. Even if you tell me to fight for you while risking my life on the line, I\'ll do that. I just don\'t want to stay in this lousy sea forever, I want to leave the sea and see the world."
An idea immediately popped up in Lin Hao\'s mind. He thought in his heart: \'Then I\'ll make you my mount!\'

_Great Mountain Divine World_
At a certain place, a crowd was arguing something with each other.
"Wang... Wang Guang!" It was unknown who shouted with a hoarse voice, but all the people instantly panicked and quickly retreated.
At this time, a well-built scarred man walked out like a kind from the middle of the crowd. Seeing him, everyone felt a chill down their spines.
This person was a famous bandit who lived in the Sky Wolf Mountain Range. Every year, who knew how many travelling merchants and groups of people would come across him, but they would all be massacred and their goods would be swept away.
"Why did I only meet this fiend here!"
At this moment, someone muttered in a low voice with a face full of worry. He seemed to be a merchant. Others also nodded their heads.
If they lost the goods, that would be fine. After all, they were not the owner of these goods, so they naturally did not care. However, this group of robbers had a rule, which is that they would not leave anyone alive on the path of robbery.
This caused their hands and feet to be ice-cold. Even a young lady named Qing Ling who is the true owner of these goods and was sitting on the palanquin beside them had a pale face at this moment.
This panic lasted for about half a quarter of an hour, and finally, someone tremblingly walked forward to negotiate. That person was a middle-aged man named Li Du.
He walked in front of Wang Guang and the others and was simply frightened to the point of peeing by the killing intent that had accumulated on their bodies over the years, he trembled and said: "Friends, we are currently doing our job of bringing the goods to Heavenly River Sect. Do you see that girl, her name is Qing Ling and she is an extremely famous Ranker in the Sky Dragon City. She is also the true owner of these goods. Why don\'t you give her face and let us go?"
"We are willing to give up half of the escorting goods to offer to everyone as an offering for their teeth." Another old man walked out and quickly spoke up. He was also with Qing Ling and was her protector.
"Half?" Hearing this, Wang Guang laughed out loud along with the dozen or so Worldly Divine Lords behind him.
