After leaving Penglai Island, the "Ping An Fugui" gradually sailed into deeper waters.
This area has always been rarely visited by people and is full of dangers and opportunities.
There are small islands where precious medicinal materials grow, the Jiaoren tribe whose tears turn into pearls according to legend, treasures left by ancient practitioners, as well as terrifying huge waves, strange undercurrents and ferocious... sea monster.
The captain of the "Peaceful Fortune" is named Lu Yongsi, a fourth-level monk. He was short and fat, with long hair hanging around his shoulders, matted and tangled, and greasy, as if he hadn't washed it for many years.
From the discussion among the crew, Gu Xu learned that the captain was a well-known adventurer in the North. When he was young, he encountered a storm during a voyage and was stranded on an uninhabited desert island. However, as a blessing in disguise, he found a mysterious ruins on the island and received the inheritance of a mysterious strongman thousands of years ago. .
After that, Lu Yongsi became obsessed with adventure and the feeling of finding wealth in danger.
He recruited a group of people, bought a ship, and modified the ship with formations, giving it a certain degree of defense capability and able to withstand attacks from wind, waves and monsters. .
Most of the time, the "Ping An Fugui" follows the map's guidance and goes to "Yingzhou", "Fangzhang", "Daiyu", "Fanghu" and other "fairy islands in the sea". Go looking for rare medicinal materials and bring them back to land to sell them at high prices.
"Sir, I heard that the destination of your trip is the end of the East China Sea?"
One day at lunch, the ship owner Lu Yongsi asked Gu Xu curiously.
Because Gu Xu was personally introduced to the ship by the Lord of Dayan, everyone on the ship was respectful and polite when talking to him, and did not dare to show any slights.
"That's right." Gu Xu nodded.
Lu Yongsi immediately opened his eyes wide and marveled again and again.
He said that he couldn't believe that there were people in this world who were more courageous than him. Although he called himself an adventurer, he had never dared to enter the strange and dense fog in the Far East Sea where he couldn't even see his fingers.
"I have heard from legends that behind the mist, there is a majestic waterfall," Lu Yongsi said eloquently. "The sea water gathers there and falls from the cliff thousands of feet high. Abyss.
"It is said that if you jump from the waterfall, you have the opportunity to travel through time and space, go back to the past, or go to the future."
"That's where I want to go." Gu Xu said calmly.
Lu Yongsi stopped talking and gave him a gesture commonly used by sailors, which probably meant "awesome".
At this moment, the merchant ship shook violently without warning.
The tableware on the table fell to the ground with a clatter.
Everyone in the room had to hold on to the wall to barely stabilize their bodies.
"The storm is coming." Someone exclaimed.
Since this ship was once equipped with formations to reduce the shaking, the storm outside, more intense than they perceived.
Gu Xu took out a "Wind Travel Talisman", stuck it on his body, and then walked steadily to the deck of the merchant ship.
He remembered that a few minutes ago, the sea was still clear and the sky was clear.
But at this moment, the field of vision is dark, and it is difficult to tell where is the sky and where is the sea.
The huge waves rushed in like hills, making a roar like the earth was shattering.
The ship on the wave crest seemed to have become a toy of Poseidon, being thrown up high and then dropped heavily.
"It's a hook snake."
Gu Xu stared at the dark sea and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's actually a hook snake"
Not far away, the boat owner Lu Yongsi was holding on to the railing tightly, with a solemn look on his face.
He had heard from the chatter of the crew that the "hook snake" was a monster that looked like a snake and was dozens of feet long. It was ferocious, aggressive, and highly venomous.
Its tail is bifurcated and has a hook, which can drag passing ships and organisms on the shore into the sea to hunt for food.
People who often sail on the sea will go to the temple before setting off to pray to the gods for protection and not to encounter this terrible monster.
Lu Yongsi had been very lucky in the past and had never encountered any powerful monsters at
the sea.
Friends often call him "the man of great luck."
Unexpectedly, this time, he would bump into a "Hooked Snake" whose strength was close to the "Fierce God" level.
"Could it be that all my good luck has been exhausted?" he thought anxiously.
"Bang"
There was another deafening loud noise.
The hull of the ship shook violently a few times as if it was suddenly hit by a heavy object, and then there was a strong pulling force from the bottom of the ship, which seemed to drag it into the deep sea.
"Quickly form a formation"
Lu Yongsi finally came to his senses, used his skills to jump to the mast, and commanded the panicked crew.
After a while, a golden mask appeared around the "Peaceful Fortune".
Beyond the mask, the waves are turbulent; within the mask, the waves are calm.
But this mask only existed for less than five seconds.
Then it flashed a few times and disappeared.
"That damn beast actually broke the defensive formation so quickly," Lu Yongsi cursed in her mind.
Seeing that the ship was about to sink into the sea, he waved his hand and summoned his natal sword, preparing to use all his strength and all his cards to fight the hook snake to the death.
However, in an instant, a painful howl came from the water.
The pulling force on the merchant ship suddenly disappeared.
A huge sea monster poked its head out of the water.
Its size is too huge. No one can see it in its entirety. From a distance, its body exposed from the sea looks like islands.
As long as itOpen its mouth and the whole boat will be swallowed by it along with the current.
But the strange thing is that when it looks at the ship, it actually reveals strong fear.
At this time, Lu Yongsi noticed that the mysterious guest wearing a black mask had quietly floated into the air, holding a strange semicircular metal object in his hand, which was connected to the "hook". Snake" looked at each other from a distance.
I saw him gently raising his right hand.
Countless gray-black, spiderweb-like thin lines suddenly appeared in the air.
These thin lines seem to be sharper than a sword that can cut through iron like clay.
The moment it touched the "Hooked Snake", the seemingly indestructible scales on the "Hooked Snake" were instantly cut open, and blood spurted out, dyeing the entire sea red.
"It's actually a crack in space." Lu Yongsi was stunned and murmured in his heart, "Who is he?"
In his perception, this mysterious guest was just like him, just a human being. A monk in the fourth realm.
Cutting space is usually a skill only possessed by seventh-level monks.
Is this person hiding his strength?
Or does he have some unimaginable means?
"No wonder the king values him so much," he I thought, "This person is either an anonymous saint, or a monster that has not been seen in thousands of years."
A few seconds later, "Hooked Snake" had been cut into countless pieces by Gu Xu using space cracks.
The sea then returned to calm.
Gu Xu landed steadily on the deck and smiled at Lu Yongsi, "The obstacles have been removed, let's move on."
Updates after s should be at 8:00 every night.
