Out of caution, the old man didn't invite Su Chen into the house.
Su Chen could understand and didn't mind. He asked, "Weren't there a lot of zombies here before?
Why are there no zombies now? "
"There used to be a lot of zombies here, but they were all attacked by the sea beasts and ran away," the old man replied.
Su Chen's eyes lit up. He asked urgently, "How many sea beasts were there?
Did they come from the Forgotten Worries Sea? "
The sea beasts were actually a type of mutant beast, but one lived in the sea while the other lived on land.
Su Chen thought that since the mutant beasts could drop fragments, killing the sea beasts should also drop fragments.
In this way, even if he couldn't kill any zombies, killing some sea beasts would be worthwhile.
"The sea beasts do live in the Forgotten Worries Sea, and their numbers have reached a terrifying level. I'm afraid there are millions of them," the old man said in a deep voice.
Millions of them?
How many fragments could he get if he killed all of them?
Su Chen was excited. He continued to ask, "Why did the sea beasts attack the zombies here?"
Normally, the sea beasts wouldn't go ashore easily.
It was even rarer for them to take the initiative to attack zombies.
The hunchbacked old man thought for a while and replied, "I heard it from someone else. It seems that the leader of the zombies stole an egg from a sea demon beast and was retaliated by the sea demon beast."
"Hmm?"
Su Chen frowned and asked, "Old man, did you just say that one sea beast drove away all the zombies here?"
There were at least tens of thousands of zombies in the Black Rock City, and one sea beast was able to drive them away?
How strong was this sea demon beast?
It must be at least a level 5 sea beast.
The hunchbacked old man nodded. "There is indeed one. However, that Sea Demon Beast is extremely powerful. I heard that it has already reached Level 5."
"As expected," Su Chen said to himself. He continued to ask, "What kind of sea beast was it?
Where did it usually live? "
The hunchbacked old man was slightly surprised. He always felt that Su Chen seemed to be very interested in the sea beasts.
He then asked, "Young man, why are you asking about the whereabouts of the Sea Demon Beasts?
You're not going to hunt it, are you? "
After he finished speaking, even he himself was shocked.
A Level 5 Sea Demon Beast couldn't even hide from him. Who would want to die to hunt him down?
Su Chen smiled but did not explain. He continued, "Elder, just tell me."
The hunchbacked old man didn't think too much about it and said directly, "He's a giant tortoise, the size of a house.
Every day at noon, I would go to the beach to bask in the sun for a while. The rest of the time, I would hide in the sea. "
"Elder, how do you know so clearly?" Su Chen was a little puzzled.
He could tell that the stooped old man was just an ordinary person.
How would an ordinary person dare to observe the daily routine of a Level 5 Sea Demon Beast?
The old man explained, "Not far from the beach, there is a forest. Every day, we would go there to collect some wild fruits and vegetables. Over time, we learned more about the sea beast."
Su Chen nodded and asked, "After the zombies here were defeated, where did they go?"
The old man shook his head.
Zombies were the enemy of human beings. Who would go back to find out the whereabouts of the zombies?
Seeing this, Su Chen didn't ask any more questions.
Although he didn't find the whereabouts of the zombies, he learned about the existence of a Level 5 Sea Demon Beast.
This trip was not a loss.
"Elder, thank you for your information. These things are for you."
Su Chen took out some food and a dozen energy stones from his storage bag and gave them to the old man. He then turned and left.
