EIF - Book 03 Chapter 037: Back to the Pyramid-Formation Islands

On the flying ship:

Gu Hai held the guarantee that City Lord He wrote. After taking a look at it, he revealed a faint smile and said, “Alright, it’s time to fish for dragons.”

“Using this guarantee letter? What are you going to do with it?” Long Wanqing asked, feeling curious.

With a flip of his hand, Gu Hai took out a small bucket. A transparent liquid filled this bucket with some lotus root pieces still floating in it.
