Chapter 151: Mistaken?
A despairing cry of desperation echoed across the surface of the sea.
Another warrior was torn to shreds by a fourth-level green scale beast. The bloodied and mutilated man was then devoured by even more third-level green scale beasts.
As soon as he died, the vital energy on his body immediately dissipated and was absorbed by the quietly approaching stone cave. The stone secretly stimulated the negative energy inside the cave and condensed it with the essence, creating a magnetic field domain again. As soon as the domain appeared, the turbulent sea water formed a tornado again. A new tornado suddenly formed on the surface of the sea, and no one knew where this tornado came from. However, this tornado seemed to have eyes, stirring up waves on the surface of the sea, and immediately swallowed a four-clawed green scale beast. After swallowing the four-clawed green scale beast, the tornado did not stop, but continued to rush towards the last four-clawed green scale beast. In the intense battle, Linda and her party were extremely passive.
From the moment they dived into the sea, they were surrounded by a group of Qīng Lín beasts. Under the watchful eyes of four fourth-level Qīng Lín beasts, Linda's side suffered continuous casualties and couldn't gain any advantage over the Qīng Lín beasts at the bottom of the sea.
The turning point of the battle began with the sudden appearance of two tornadoes.
The first tornado rescued Linda from the jaws of the green-scaled beast and swallowed up both beasts, freeing Linda's hands.
The second tornado suddenly appeared, and first swallowed one of the green scale beasts. Then it charged towards the remaining green scale beasts. Four level-four green scale beasts were entwined by the tornado, and the last one was also chased after, leaving no time to care about Linda and others who had fallen into the water.
Linda wielded her short sword, strangling a third-tier Qingscale beast, her beautiful eyes shining brightly as she occasionally glanced at Shi Yan. However, Shi Yan, who was in the seawater, had no intention of making a move except for his calm expression, and there wasn't even any intense energy fluctuation on his body. This made Linda somewhat bewildered.
Wasn't it him who moved his hand?
Linda was filled with doubts, and after observing quietly for a while, she really didn't see Shi Yan display any surprising powers. Under the pursuit of the third-level Qīng Lín beast, Shi Yan had been constantly dodging and evading, and when he couldn't dodge anymore, he clashed with the Qīng Lín beast, but also didn't achieve anything remarkable. Linda was shocked, and suddenly shouted: "Return to the ship!"
The warriors who were still alive, upon hearing Linda's words, all gathered towards her, and Shi Yan was no exception, quickly swimming in the sea and rushing towards Linda.
Two tornadoes sweeping across the sea surface, continue to wreak havoc around. Pulling in one by one of the nearby Cyan Scaled Beast. The last remaining 4th grade Cyan Scaled Beast, under the sweep of the two tornadoes, was finally engulfed and trapped together with other Cyan Scaled Beasts by the rotational force of the tornadoes.
Linda took the lead, two short swords intertwined with a dazzling sword aura, and the three-level green scale beast that blocked the way was crushed into powder.
Kamon followed Linda, wielding a silver long spear. With a flick of his wrist, he pierced a third-level Qingscale beast, and the two led the way forward, disrupting the formation of the approaching Qingscale beasts. They charged towards the small boat. Shi Yan's face was calm, not saying a word, just following behind them.
The little boat had already lowered its rope ladder. After Linda arrived, she didn't immediately board the ship and shouted: "You go first!"
The sailors didn't shirk either. They seemed to be accustomed to Linda's way of doing things and quickly climbed up the rope ladder onto the small boat.
Shi Yan also leaned forward. Without looking at Linda, he reached out to grab the rope ladder and climb up. "Come down!", Kamon's face was cold, he stepped forward and grabbed Shi Yan's collar, pulling him down violently, shouting: "Hodge, you go first!"
A warrior who is on good terms with Kamen. Without saying a word, he immediately snatches the rope ladder from Ishi's hand.
She quickly climbed up. "Come on!" Linda shouted, "Are you still thinking about these things at this time?!"
"He's not one of us, he should stay behind." Kamon grumbled. Fighting off the incoming green scales with Linda, he stubbornly said: "Only when all our people are on board can he get on the ship. This guy is mentally ill, has no strength, and still dares to follow us onto the ship. I see him doing nothing in the sea, just wandering around everywhere, doesn't know what he's doing here, completely useless, a waste of space!"
Shi Yan furrowed his brow and ignored him, leaning against Linda as they waited for others to board. "You go up!" Linda grabbed the rope ladder and shoved it into Shi Yan's hands, "I'll cover you."
"Hmm." Shi Yan didn't show any courtesy, taking over the rope ladder and quickly climbing up onto the small boat.
Linda and Kamon were the last to remain in the sea. Sword lights shot out from Linda's short sword, and the approaching green scale beasts were beheaded one after another, with blood splashing everywhere. The third-level green scale beasts' scales could not withstand the sword lights of Linda, who was a hundred times stronger than them. Even when surrounded by four fourth-level green scale beasts, Linda still had an overwhelming momentum in the sea. Her hair was wet from the seawater, and several strands of her hair hung down in front of her chest, with water droplets flying out as she swung her arms. With a light twist of her waist, Linda shot out sword lights one after another, forming a semicircular arc that single-handedly held off over ten green scale beasts. After Kamon boarded the ship, Linda's two swords killed three third-level green scale beasts again.
The scaled beast then grabbed the rope ladder with one hand and continued to swing its sword with the other, shouting "Pull me up!"
The sailors on the boat had been waiting for Linda's order and pulled her out of the sea together.
"Cast off! Leave immediately!" As soon as Linda boarded the ship, she gave a soft order: "Take advantage of that fourth-level Green Scale Beast being trapped. We must leave immediately, otherwise when the fourth-level Green Scale Beast breaks free, we'll be in for it."
Without her saying more, the sailors on the boat had already started to set sail. The small boat quickly moved forward in the faint mist, riding the wind and waves, heading southeast. A few green scale beasts hung far behind the small boat, refusing to give up as they continued to follow it. On the surface of the sea, two tornadoes continued to wreak havoc in all directions, pulling even more green scale beasts into their midst. This third tornado had come out of nowhere, and no one knew how it had formed, but it was extremely timely in pulling the fourth-level green scale beast into its vortex. It could be said that they were able to escape this disaster only because of those two tornadoes.
"What great luck! Without this tornado, we would have been dead for sure."
Jett lay listlessly on the deck, gazing at Linda's wet and curvaceous figure, chuckling foolishly.
Jett and Linda had been through thick and thin together for many years, but they had never found themselves in a more desperate situation than today. Fortunately, they managed to escape with their lives, and Jett was truly grateful. He was now completely exhausted, his only remaining energy being the sparkle in his cunning eyes. "I have no idea where that tornado came from," Kamon said with a smile. "It's as if divine intervention helped us - the tornado seemed specifically aimed at those four 4th-level Green Scale Beasts. Two tornadoes... they actually swallowed all of them whole! It's unbelievable, I thought we were dead for sure, but it seems we can still breathe in some fresh air. Great, really great!"
"Yes, the tornado came too magically! Too timely!"
"Have we really received divine favor?"
The sailors on the ship, one by one, exclaimed in amazement at the wonder of the tornado. Only Linda remained silent and still, her curvaceous figure revealed by her wet clothes. Her eyes shone with an unusual light, as if she was thinking about some possibility.
After a long time, Linda suddenly looked deeply at the stone rock, slightly bowed her head, and revealed a patch of snow-white cleavage in front of her chest, solemnly saying: "Thank you!"
"Linda. What are you doing?" Kamon suddenly stood up, with a mixture of laughter and tears, saying: "Linda, you don't think that tornado was caused by this guy, do you?"
"Haha, this is ridiculous." Huo Jie shook his head repeatedly, looking at Shi Yan with a mocking expression, "If this guy had the ability to make such a big commotion, I would be a Divine Realm expert by now."
Even Jet, who had always been inclined towards Linda, shook his head with a bitter smile. "Linda, are you exhausted from using too much force? This guy doesn't have any powerful aura, how could he possibly cause such a big commotion?"
The remaining crew members on the boat all looked at Shi Yan with disdain in their eyes. Linda didn't pay attention to others, still gazing deeply at Shi Yan and said again: "Thank you."
Shi Yan furrowed his brow and shook his head, saying: "You're mistaken, it has nothing to do with me."
He didn't want to get too entangled with these people, and he didn't plan on staying on the ship for long. As soon as they entered Yunxia Island, he would immediately leave the ship. After all, this was the Kanluo Sea Domain, where the Three Gods Sect, Gu House, and Dongfang House had influence. Exposing too much wouldn't do him any good.
"Not your concern?" Linda also looked puzzled, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Really not you?"
"It wasn't me." Shi Yan shook his head again. Linda straightened up, staring at him blankly for a moment before turning to the other sailors and saying, "Don't relax, be on high alert, those fourth-grade Green Scale Beasts will come after us once they break free."
Linda was still full of doubts, and she knew the details of all the crew members on this ship. She knew how many people there were and also knew that with those people's abilities, it was impossible to capture a fourth-level Qīng Lín beast.
On the boat, only Shi Yan was unfamiliar to her, and she didn't know his background or cultivation level. Moreover, since she had seen Shi Yan being sealed in the glacier, she naturally suspected that he was secretly taking action.
At that time, she didn't find any special energy fluctuations on Shi Yan's body in the sea. When the tornadoes were raging around, Shi Yan was still hiding in the seawater, and neither of the two tornadoes came to protect Ga... From these signs, it seems that Shi Yan really doesn't seem like the one who secretly made a move.
But if it wasn't Shi Yan, then who could it be? Was the tornado really formed naturally?
Linda shook her head slightly, filled with doubts in her heart. Her gaze towards Shi Yan was filled with even more strange implications.
The stone monument was invisible, but after boarding the ship, it returned to the pair of miscellaneous objects. However, his hand now held two more Qingyue stones. At this moment, he was holding a Qingyue stone against the Blood Pattern Ring, trying to inject the cold air overflowing from the ring into the Qingyue stone. PS: Monthly ticket!
