Chapter 638: Chapter 3: The Golden Ao Builds Islands

"Well... if you’re not going to sell it, then I’ll leave."

Lowering his head slightly in a somewhat awkward manner, the Longbo Giant didn’t say anything further and turned to walk towards the deep sea.

For the Longbo Giant, who has always been straightforward by nature.

Trading with outsiders is truly beyond his capabilities.

Afraid that Xiluo would probe for more details, he didn’t even bother to continue concealing anything.

"Haha, now I know why this guy has never been able to buy ’Smoke Cloud Mesh’!"

Seeing this situation, Xiluo was initially stunned, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

She remarked that the Longbo Giant blocked steel battleships along the way, and even if he didn’t purchase the quantity he needed, he still wouldn’t have come away empty-handed like he is now.

"Is it really so funny?"

With a helpless glance at Xiluo, Li Boyang quickly raised his voice to stop the Longbo Giant who was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, I can sell the ’Smoke Cloud Mesh’ you want to you."

Seeing the Longbo Giant suddenly stop and turn his puzzled face towards him, Li Boyang continued speaking.

"You’ve interacted with many mountain people, you should know our customs."

"When we mountain people travel, we help any intelligent beings in need."

"The demise of Longbo Kingdom was due to resisting the calamities of the four seas, as recorded clearly in our history books."

"So, within my capabilities, I am willing to help you."

The Longbo Giant blinked skeptically, noticing Li Boyang’s earnest expression, realizing he was different from the mountain people he had encountered before.

The previous mountain people, although kind, had strong principles.

As long as he didn’t speak, they wouldn’t ask any questions, let alone offer to help like Li Boyang had.

"Can you really help me?"

Only at this moment did the Longbo Giant notice peculiarities about this steel battleship.

Compared to the steel battleships of other mountain people.

This steel battleship was noticeably smaller and had been maintaining a floating state the entire time.

Most importantly, despite talking to Li Boyang for so long, the Longbo Giant only saw Li Boyang and Xiluo.

It’s known that mountain people’s steel battleships, although optimized through many arrays, were ultimately just "ships."

As long as it’s a ship, one or two persons couldn’t operate it.

Ordinary steel battleships require at least a hundred operators working together to complete full floating, flying, and direction maneuvers.

In contrast, Li Boyang’s steel battleship seemed spiritual, functioning without any human operation.

"Of course, the premise is that you are willing to trust us and tell us the true purpose of purchasing ’Smoke Cloud Mesh’."

Smiling, Li Boyang nodded, his voice not particularly loud.

Yet his genuine confidence unconsciously persuaded others to believe his words.

"Of course I trust you, because you are ’Holy Demons’!"

After a brief pause, the Longbo Giant, not great at thinking, decided to trust his instincts.

......

Meanwhile, near an ancient battlefield ruins in the East Sea.

This was the old site of Longbo Kingdom, also the place where the East Sea God Yu Guo perished.

In that historic battle, the magnificent Longbo Giants were exterminated, and the vast Longbo Kingdom hence sank into the sea.

After the battle, despite the few surviving Longbo Giants, they continued striving to excavate the sunken Longbo Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the efforts of the Longbo Giants were destined to be in vain.

Because Longbo Kingdom not only sank to the ocean floor, but also shattered into countless fragments.

The Longbo Giants used every means, but ultimately could salvage only some remnants.

Until the world changed drastically, with elevation, hints of the underwater Longbo Kingdom ruins emerging again.

However, reacting faster this time than the Longbo Giants was a group of Jin’ao, several times larger.

These Jin’ao originally inhabited the North Sea but migrated to the East Sea territories with the world’s transformations.

Frankly speaking, if it weren’t seen with their own eyes, Longbo Giants wouldn’t believe there were Jin’ao surviving by "inhabiting."

Like other inhabiting creatures, these Jin’ao enjoy seeking larger items to carry on their backs.

In ordinary circumstances, items larger than Jin’ao are rare.

So these Jin’ao have been lurking in the deep sea for a long time.

But as the world changed, the size of continents and oceans grew, and correspondingly, island sizes inevitably expanded.

So, this group of Jin’ao began carrying islands, traveling between the North Sea and East Sea.

This unique nature even led some creatures to coexist with Jin’ao, becoming permanent residents of these mobile floating islands.

However, every situation has exceptions, and Jin’ao are no different.

When some Jin’ao discovered the Longbo Kingdom ruins, they quickly adored these ruins.

After all, compared to irregular, fragile islands.

These Longbo Kingdom ruins could accommodate the Longbo Giants’ created structures.

Naturally, the Jin’ao began competing with Longbo Giants for the ownership of these ruins.

Whenever Jin’ao were discovered in these waters, the remaining Longbo Giants almost entirely emerged, attempting intercept.

Yet they never succeeded.

Over time, the Jin’ao even learned to guerilla fight against them.

Moreover, these Jin’ao possess highly exaggerated diving capabilities, virtually undetectable once they dive into the deep sea.

Often during such times, Longbo Giants resorted to various strategies to fish the Jin’ao.

Here it’s noteworthy that despite Jin’ao’s massive size, they lack intelligence, being less clever than some ordinary beasts.

Longbo Giants only need to use their favored "Golden Glue" as bait, easily leading them out of the deep sea to the surface.

Currently, the sole issue is, "Golden Glue," a semi-mineral resource, can be excavated.

But materials strong enough to serve as "fishing lines" are exceedingly rare.

No matter what materials the Longbo Giants use for fishing lines, they’d always be forcefully snapped by the immensely powerful Jin’ao.

In utter desperation, the Longbo Giants turned their attention to [Smoke Cloud Mesh].

As long as there’s a sufficient base quantity, this water-fire resistant, size-flexible material is ideal for fishing Jin’ao.
