Chapter 520: Set Sail

Chapter 520: Set Sail

A ship set sail from the shore for the boundless sea.

Ou Yangming knew it would take up a lot of time and would worry Ni Yinghong and the others if he went to sea at this time. Nonetheless, he could not care too much because he wanted to obtain more peculiar stones or treasure maps.

Navigating on the sea was an extremely difficult task. Perhaps some experienced sailors could identify sea areas that they had been before.

However, they would be dumbfounded and would not be able to find anything if they flew in the sky. In particular, ordinary sailors would become jelly and would fall butt-first to the ground without being able to do anything upon seeing the goshawk.

Therefore, Ou Yangming gave up the thought of riding the goshawk and chose the time-consuming method, which was setting sail on a ship.

Needless to say, it was also because the spirit turtle was already handled. If the Aquatics were still attacking the city, none of the boats could have gone to sea.

Whether it was Feng Yiyuan and his people, or Peng Huachi and his people, they did their utmost for Ou Yangming without slacking or being half-hearted. They arranged the fastest ship in Canghai City, so much so that the sailors even did their best without bringing up any conditions when they heard they were going to serve the young fellow.

As for safety issues… Since Ou Yangming, who subdued the Aquatics’ spirit beast, was on the ship, would there even be a problem?

Besides, Feng Yiyuan and Nian Xinran had even boarded the ship to cater to Ou Yangming. There might be internal strife on the boat, but there would not be safety issues at all.

Nevertheless, after sailing for a day and a night, the captain approached the big bosses worriedly and invited them to the ship’s bow, where he informed them with respect, “Sirs, our ship has been targeted by the Aquatics’ ferocious beasts.”

Ou Yangming looked at the sea in shock. It was his first time going to sea, and he only saw a vast blue sea when he looked into the distance. As for the Aquatics’ ferocious beasts mentioned by the captain, he did not notice any of them at all.

Faced with Ou Yangming’s questioning look, the captain began to have beads of sweat on his forehead, but he dared not delay the matter at all. He immediately answered, “Sir, the beasts are following us underwater; our sailors heard them.”

“Heard them?” Ou Yangming was surprised. “Can they be heard?”

“Yes.” The captain smiled bitterly. “Some ferocious beasts from the Aquatics are huge, so they make loud sounds when they move around. Nothing can be spotted on the surface, but experienced sailors can monitor them by using special tools at the bottom of the ship’s hold.”

Ou Yangming was curious, but he did not really want to acquire those tools.

He felt that probing with mental power was much more effective than using those tools. Moreover, he would probably need to practice for a long time to grasp the usage of those tools. At the end of the day, his losses would outweigh his gains.

“How many beasts are there?” Feng Yiyuan asked in a deep voice.

“Sir, there are at least 3 of them.” The captain’s voice was trembling.

He had encountered beasts in the sea in the past. Those large beasts had notable combat powers, such that he needed to pay a huge price to drive away or kill even one of them. If there were 3 of them, they were most likely doomed.

Feng Yiyuan and Nian Xinran looked at each other. They felt like it was a tricky problem.

“Let me take a look.” Ou Yangming grinned. He released his mental power, which instantly entered the sea and spread.

It took only a brief moment for Ou Yangming to find the fierce beasts mentioned by the captain, but the captain was mistaken about the number of beasts. There were actually 5 beasts that followed underneath and behind the ship.

Among the first fierce beasts, there were 2 great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts and 3 Yang Grade half-spirit beasts.

Even so, the half-spirit beasts could usually contend with opponents above their ranks, which was the greatest power of their geographical advantage.

“Sir, are we going to continue?” The captain asked carefully.

Ou Yangming answered after some thought, “Don’t worry and continue to advance. If the beasts want to attack us, we’ll handle them.”

The captain was startled for a while as though he had something to say.

Feng Yiyuan pulled a long face and reprimanded him, “Aren’t you going to get going! Hmph, didn’t you hear what Master Ou said? He could eliminate even the Aquatics’ spirit turtle, so he’ll kill the remaining little clowns since there are only a few of them!”

The captain dared not say too much, hence he quickly gave the order. Before long, the ship moved faster than before.

Despite that, Ou Yangming could sense that the 5 powerful vicious beasts were still pursuing them closely. Instead of acting rashly by launching an attack, they carefully approached the ship.

It was evident that they were incredibly afraid of the aura released from the ship.

Nian Xinran went forward and asked softly, “Master Ou, how about I bring some men into the water to warn them?”

“Is that necessary?” Ou Yangming asked him in return with a smile.

“Yes,” Feng Yiyuan responded, “The Aquatics fear the strong but bully the weak. Once we show them how capable we are and let them know they won’t gain anything from fighting against us, they’ll naturally leave.”

Ou Yangming opened his mouth and wanted very badly to tell them that they did not need to go through the trouble, but he could not help but sigh when he saw their sincere looks. “Thanks for the trouble then.”

Nian Xinren nodded and called out to several men. They retrieved their weapons and changed their suit, then they jumped into the water and dove deep.

On the other hand, the captain ordered the others to slow down the ship. He did not plan to sail far away while the assigned men fought the savage beasts.

Soon enough, there were billows underwater. Subsequently, 5 massive sea beasts emerged one after another. They were different in size and species, but they were similar in the sense that the auras were fearsome.

Feng Yiyuan only took one glance before he exclaimed, “Oh no!”

He glanced at Ou Yangming and recalled what the young fellow said as he rolled his eyes. Following that, he made up his mind right away.

“Master Ou, I’ll go assist General Nian.”

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Thanks.”

With that, Feng Yiyuan waved his hand and led the Feng family’s powerhouses to join the fight.

Before Feng Yiyuan and the rest joined the tangled fight, the Humans’ cultivators were in a disadvantageous spot. If Nian Xinran had not risked his life to fight, some of them would have been killed in the water. As soon as a new force joined them, the Humans and the Aquatics were in a stalemate, and they could get rid of each other in a short period.

Ou Yangming shook his head as he watched. If they were not deep in the sea, the threatening beasts could not contend with the people, who had a greater force.

Over here, the Humans’ powers were very much limited, whereas the Aquatics could unleash their greatest might. One party’s loss would be another party’s gain—the balance for victory or defeat was naturally slanted.

Just as Ou Yangming hesitated if he wanted to make a move to swiftly solve the problem, he was shaken up, and his face darkened.

This was because he sensed 2 more formidable beasts coming with the waves.

The 2 aquatics were also great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts. One of them was similar to a gigantic swordfish, which swam unbelievably fast.

As soon as Ou Yangming sensed it, it swam across a long distance in a split second and arrived below the fighting group.

“Senior Feng, below you!” Ou Yangming uttered in a deep voice.

Ou Yangming’s every word was valuable advice to Feng Yiyuan at the moment. The great ancestor would bend over backward for the young fellow to flatter him.

Feng Yiyuan tensed up when he heard Ou Yangming, and he thought, ‘Is there another forceful creature from the Aquatics below?’

He flashed without any hesitation and moved away wonderfully. Next, a black figure zoomed up and out of the water; it was a big demonic swordfish. A black light could be seen flickering on its long and tough pointed bill under the sun, and it seemed as if it could freeze one’s heart.

Feng Yiyuan exclaimed and shifted away. He dared not fight recklessly against the Aquatics’ powerhouses around him because he was afraid that the mighty swordfish would take the opportunity to attack him if he was in a deadlock. When the great ancestor thought about the swordfish’s sword-like bill, he fell a chill down his spine.

Ou Yangming frowned because he could tell that the Humans were slowly going down. Not only was the sea the Aquatics’ home ground, but the creatures could also call out to their friends, thus it would be impossible for the Humans to fight in a drawn-out war against them.

The young fellow straightened his body, causing the air around him to have odd fluctuations.

‘Since that’s the case, let me settle these underlings.’

Just as he wanted to make a move, he fixed his gaze on his wrist.

With a flash of thought, his consciousness entered the space inside the band.

Inside the immense space, the lazy sea turtle was still sleeping soundly. As it recuperated here for 3 days, the seawater in the space seemed to be filled with its smell.

The Tree of Splendour was luxuriant on the spirit turtle’s back as though the previous generation of immortal liquid did not affect it at all. Judging from its growth, it seemed like the second batch of liquid could be harvested too.

“Lazy turtle, get up!”

Ou Yangming’s voice echoed in the space, but the lazy turtle did not move an inch.

He sighed and gathered his conception to crop the Tree of Splendour on the turtle’s back a little.

It did not take long before loud rumbles were heard coming from the sea. The lazy turtle finally looked up and stared at Ou Yangming in confusion as if it was asking what was going on.

Ou Yangming pulled a long face and questioned furiously, “Lazy turtle, I set sail on a ship, but I’m not being obstructed by your apprentices and followers, which are trying to overturn the ship I’m on. Hmph, did you plan this?”

The spirit turtle was stupefied, and it finally awoke from its sleep. “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me. I’ve been sleeping, so I couldn’t have planned anything!”

“Hmph, who knows if you used a Camouflage Technique to trick me!”

“I’m wronged, I’m wronged!” The spirit turtle shouted.

“Words alone aren’t proof, so whether you’re wronged or not, it’ll be up to your actions.”

Ou Yangming withdrew his mental conception and looked at the fierce battle in the distance, and he suddenly extended his arm out. Consequently, a black figure flew out and landed steadily on the sea…
