The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Above the vast sea, a small blue ship was speeding on the sea.

It was Xu Zhiyu and his party who were sitting on the ship.

They first used the help of the fourth-level low-grade flying boat and the invisibility talisman to successfully break through the encirclement of the Demon Sect, and then flew to the seaside non-stop.

After arriving at the beach, Xu Zhiyu originally proposed that everyone use their flying magic weapons and rush to the habitat of the human-faced fish. Of course, he did this out of selfish motives and planned to use this opportunity to escape.

However, the leader, Fang Chao, seemed to have doubts about his motives, and finally rejected the suggestion. He also took out a small ship that could sail in the sea and let everyone sit on it, saying that it was for unified action.

This completely disrupted his plans!

Originally, when they were working together to activate the fourth-level flying boat, he was not working hard and had been saving his mana just to use it to activate the three-color phoenix wings to escape. But once he got on the ship, he completely lost his ability to escape. possible.

He also considered the possibility of escaping directly, but he finally rejected it. Now the mana in his Dantian is only about 50%, and the other people should have more mana than him. Besides, among the monks who came with him, In addition to Fang Chao, there was also a monk from the late Zifu period. This person gave him a very dangerous feeling. For his own safety, he did not choose to act rashly and leave by force. Instead, he followed them onto the ship. Be adaptable.

The space of this ship is not large, but the decoration is very exquisite. However, no one has the time to study these. After entering the cabin, they all meditate in unison to restore the mana in the Dantian. The monk from Zifu activates the consumption of the fourth-level magic weapon. It was still very big. Although Xu Zhiyu didn't put in much effort, he still took the time to recover his mana. This was a rare opportunity.

The ship's sailing speed is actually not very fast, because the ship is driven by a combination of medium-grade spirit stones and mana. Now no one has injected mana, and it can move forward by relying on spirit stones alone, and its speed is barely comparable to the sword flying of a monk in the middle stage of the Zifu.

After two days of this, a group of eight people finally filled their Dantian with mana. Two and a half days had passed since they set out, but they were still nearly a hundred thousand miles away from the nest of the human-faced fish. , time can be said to be very tight.

As the leader, Fang Chao also had this worry. When he saw everyone stopped meditating, he said directly:

"Fellow Taoists, since everyone has recovered their mana, I suggest that from now on, we take turns controlling the ship so that we can reach the destination faster. If we only rely on the speed of the middle-grade spiritual stone, we may still be able to move forward at the same speed. It takes five or six days to get there.

If we encounter a group of human-faced fish and encounter obstacles in collecting the bones and delay for a while, we will not be able to return at the time specified by Master. "

"What Senior Brother Fang said is true. We must rush back with the skeleton before the ten-day deadline mentioned by Master."

"Yes, we cannot let Master down!"

Several people from Yang Jiugong echoed the words one after another. Xu Zhiyu had no choice but to nod and smile in agreement, but kept glancing towards the window of the cabin, thinking about ways to escape.

suddenly!

Some chaotic sounds came from the front.

Everyone's consciousness was looking out, and there was a large black cloud on the sea more than twenty miles ahead, moving towards them quickly.

The black cloud was several miles in size, and everyone in the cabin became alert. Under the leadership of Fang Chao, they came to the deck and looked carefully in front of them.

Xu Zhiyu activated his magical power, the Fire Eye, and two pale red flames appeared in his eyes. The true face of the black cloud was completely exposed before his eyes. It turned out that the black cloud was composed of countless schools of fish.

Its body is flat, its snout is wide and flat, and there are two protruding cephalic fins in front of its head that are differentiated from the pectoral fins. Its tail is as slender as a whip, and its gills are wide. They used their flat wings to continuously glide at low altitude above the sea, and in the blink of an eye, they were less than ten miles away from them.

As for the name of this fish, he didn't know. After all, this was his first time going to sea, and he knew almost nothing about marine monsters.

But the others were different. They were basically local monks from Fujian. They had gone to sea more than once or twice, and their understanding of various sea monsters was far better than his.

"It's a manta ray!" someone shouted.

When it comes to being on the sea, what scares the monks the most is not the various storms on the sea, but the various groups of low-level sea beasts.

Their intelligence is pitiful, and they will just rush blindly when they see a target. If they are in the water, they can easily avoid it, and they can fly high with a sword. But if they encounter one that can also fly, it will be difficult. You I can't hide even if I want to.

Among the miles of black clouds in front of you, there were at least several thousand manta rays, ranging from the Qi-training stage to the Zifu stage, and they made all kinds of sharp and strange sounds from their mouths.

At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Fang Chao, who was standing on the bow of the ship, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Fang Chao's original idea was to put the ship into a storage bag and then let everyone use the flying magic weapon to avoid these swarms of manta rays, but what people didn't expect was.

With a crash, in front and behind their ship, more manta rays leaped out from the bottom of the sea and shrouded them. This directly turned the surrounding environment into darkness, and Wang Chao also directly activated the lights on the ship at this time. protecting mask.

But this did not stop the manta rays. Instead, they became even more violent. They began to use the dim light on the protective cover to open their mouths with ferocious faces and bite hard at the ships, as if they were ready to swallow them all. In the mouth.

Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of the manta ray. The protective formation on this ship is not simple. The protective shield formed cannot be broken easily. Although its fangs bit down hard, it did not cause any damage. A little damage, but several of its fangs were broken.

However, as more and more manta rays rushed towards them, Fang Chao made up his mind, decisively opened the protective cover, and then rushed out at the lead.

He just made a casual move, and a third-level high-grade flying sword appeared above his head. With a thought, mana was injected, and the flying sword instantly turned into a blue giant sword more than ten feet long, and it moved forward with force. With one swing, wherever the sword light touched, there was a loud bang, which directly swept the surrounding area of ​​more than ten feet, creating a channel among the extremely dense swarm of manta rays.

Of course, the other people were not to be outdone. They sacrificed their magical weapons one after another and began to harvest the lives of manta rays frantically. As long as the low-level fish monsters touched by the magical weapons were directly shattered, flesh and blood flew all over the sky, and the air was filled with... The disgusting smell of blood. Xu Zhiyu also swung the Ding Huoyan Thorn Sword gifted to him by his ancestor, flying up and down in a stylish manner. In fact, he didn't know any swordsmanship at all, he just slashed randomly, and he dealt with various first- and second-order manta rays. Fish, as for the third-level fish, he would hide whenever he could.

However, the manta rays, stimulated by the smell of blood, became even more crazy, flying continuously in the air, screaming continuously, and biting the eight people standing on the deck one after another.

The empty space emptied by their magical weapons will soon be filled with more manta rays, seemingly endless.

Seeing this situation, Fang Chao's face gradually became gloomy, and finally after a moment, he shouted:

"Junior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Huang, use combined attack spells."

After that, they saw the three of them shooting a beam of magic power into the sky and gathering it into a ball. Xu Zhiyu felt an extremely strong sense of threat. If this move fell on him, he would definitely die.

When the ball of light, formed by the combined mana of three people, grew to half a foot in size, it suddenly rushed towards the school of manta rays blocking their way.

"Bang bang bang!" Continuous explosions sounded.

Several powerful explosions finally opened up a hole in the school of manta rays that was large enough for the ship to pass through. Fang Chao ignored the fact that his face had turned pale due to the excessive consumption of his ultimate move, and he hurriedly got under control. He activated his magic power in the room, drove the ship, and took this opportunity to rush out of the manta ray group.

Finally, after a long while, they completely surrendered to the demon fish group. After seeing this scene, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and entered the cabin again.

Xu Zhiyu sat down again with lingering fears. This situation should be encountered many times in the next sea. This also completely disrupted his escape plan, because although he had not tried his best to deal with the manta rays just now, he could He couldn't hold back too many fish, which still greatly consumed his Dantian's mana, and now he only had less than 60% left.

"It seems that I thought too simply. I am not familiar with the terrain of the sea, and I don't have a nearby sea map in my hand. Even if I escape these people now with the help of the three-color phoenix wings, if I encounter the kind of monster fish just now, The school of fish will be in trouble, and we won’t be able to escape even if we want to. Just now, the eight of us Zifu worked together to fight against the enemy, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of them. If I encounter them alone, the consequences will be unimaginable. !”

After thinking about this clearly, he had temporarily extinguished the idea of ​​​​escaping alone. Even if he wanted to escape, it would not be in this unknown sea full of dangers, but should be done after returning to land.

Next, they also became very cautious. In addition to taking turns arranging monks to drive the ships, they also arranged for monks to use their spiritual consciousness to scan the surrounding sea for several miles at any time to avoid the previous situation. If they encounter various sea beasts in normal times, They don't mind killing them casually, and then taking their bodies back to exchange for spiritual stones, but the situation is different now. They are not here for the sea beasts, so they must avoid them as much as possible to avoid being entangled and delaying time.

Another whole day has passed, and Xu Zhiyu and the others have put away their ships and gathered on a deserted island with no spiritual energy.

Fang Chao took out a jade slip, put it against his forehead and examined it carefully for a long time. Then, still a little worried, he gave it to his junior brothers and sisters to study for a while, and finally confirmed one thing, that is, they had arrived. Near the lair of the human-faced fish.

"Everyone, after comparison, the desert island under our feet, about 30 miles to the west about 1,000 feet of water, is the habitat of the human-faced fish. Now everyone listen to my order and use magic power to hold up the water barrier, and then Take out the defensive magic weapon and we'll go down now."

As Fang Chao made the decision to jump down to the water, several others looked at each other and followed suit, using their magic power to hold up their protective shields, and then plunged into the water.

After entering the sea, Xu Zhiyu felt it and found that his spiritual detection ability in the water was greatly affected. The detection range was sharply reduced. He could only detect about ten miles around, which was only one-third of the outside.

After diving for dozens of miles, they gradually went deep into the seabed. The endless seawater around them put more and more pressure on people, so he had to increase the output of mana to maintain the integrity of the protective shield.

After a quarter of an hour passed, a huge blue-green vortex was introduced into the eyes of several people. It was several miles in size and kept spinning, sometimes rapidly and sometimes slowly.

At this moment, Fang Chao's message rang out in Xu Zhiyu's sea of ​​consciousness:

"This is it. I'll go in first and you follow me."

After saying that, he jumped into the whirlpool and was immediately sucked in. He didn't know where he went.

Looking at the whirlpool in front of him, Xu Zhiyu took a deep breath, then followed several other people and also plunged into it.

There was huge pressure in the vortex, squeezing and tearing at the protective shield on his body, and the creaking sound was clearly audible. He could only increase the output of his magic power. At the same time, he also regretted his choice and felt that he was a little reckless.

The whole body was passively rotating in the whirlpool, going around and around. Even for his body, which had been strengthened by taking the spiritual water of heaven and earth, he felt dizzy and dizzy, as if he had sat in the teleportation array again, but it was worse than that one. Still uncomfortable.

Not long after, there was a soft bang, the protective shield on his body was broken, and the powerful force of the water flow immediately acted on his body. Xu Zhiyu, who was well prepared, took out a shelter he bought before coming to Fujian. The water talisman was attached to his body, and the spiritual talisman created a vacuum zone one foot in size for him.

I don't know how much time passed, but his body seemed to have been rubbed and squeezed hundreds of times by a huge force, and then he was violently thrown away.

With a plop, he faintly fell to a soft place.

Xu Zhiyu endured the discomfort coming from his head, stood up with one hand on the ground.

Looking around, I found myself in a deep-sea underground cave. The color of the water here was very strange, with a little green light.

There are some sparkling red corals, strange-shaped sea flowers, emerald green seaweed growing in the cave, and all kinds of spiritual creatures that have never been seen before appear here.

There are also many strange colorful fish swimming here.

Then he looked at the vacuum area around him where seawater was about to pour in because the energy of the water-avoiding talisman was exhausted. He closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly, a blue light mask emerged from his body, isolating the surrounding seawater. Come. (End of chapter)
