Chapter 228 Entering the Sea

At this moment, Mo Li, Yan, Yi Yuan, and Han She appeared from various parts of the forest.

"You've come at the perfect time. Let's grill some meat skewers ourselves," Xuan Lin said, looking at the skewers in his hand as he grilled them.

"Ah, I haven't had enough sleep yet, why don't you bake it for me?" Yan said, sitting down opposite Xuan Lin.

“Do it yourself,” Xuan Lin said.

"Okay." After saying that, Yan also started grilling the meat.

Yi Yuan sat down next to Xuan Lin, glanced at the faint wound on his arm, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What happened on your end last night?" Yi Yuan asked in a low voice as he took out the knife from his waist and cut the meat.

Xuan Lin recalled that last night, after hearing the commotion from Yan's side, he had intended to go and provide support.

Just as he was about to get up, several orcs suddenly appeared not far away, including a leopard beast.

It didn't seem like an abandoned stray animal, and he immediately became alert.

After dealing with them, the commotion on Nightmare's side stopped, and they continued to guard their original positions.

"It's nothing, just a few wild animals."

Xuan Lin looked at the skewers in his hand, which were almost cooked, sprinkled salt on the meat, and said simply.

"Are you alright?" Yi Yuan asked with concern.

"fine."

After Xuan Lin finished grilling the meat in his hand, he got up, walked to Shu Ning's side, squatted down, and handed it to her.

Shu Ning, who was focused on watching Jin Tong serve soup, suddenly smelled the aroma of roasted meat. Then a large skewer of roasted meat appeared in front of her, still sizzling with oil.

She looked up at him. "Jin Tong's is ready. I'll eat this."

Xuan Lin ignored her words, took her hand and made her hold the skewer before sitting back down.

"You're injured, so don't go into the water today," Yi Yuan instructed him after he sat back down.

"It's nothing," Xuan Lin said, picking up the meat skewer in his hand again.

After everyone finished eating, Xiao Chong and Xuan Mo, who had disappeared earlier, returned.

“We can set off now,” Xiao Chong said, giving the results of his scouting trip.

"Xiao Chong, have you eaten?" Shu Ning asked.

"I've eaten," Xiao Chong said with a smile.

"And you?" she asked Xuanmo, who was standing to the side.

“Yes,” Xuanmo replied, “I’ve eaten.”

Then the group continued their journey.

After an unknown amount of time, they followed the river and crossed several mountains.

As they drew closer to their destination, the crashing of the waves grew louder, and the air became increasingly humid.

"The East Sea is just ahead," Yan Ling shouted as he ran ahead.

A moment later, a dark green scene swaying in the wind suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Although it was daytime, the weather was gloomy. Although the view was open, the clouds merged with the sea, making them appear as one.

They eventually stopped on the mountainside, and the scene before them stunned them.

Countless thick, white streams, like ribbons of soft mist, flow from the dark green mountains into the sea.

As gusts of sea breeze blew, half of the water on the stream was blown backward by the wind, while the other half continued to flow into the sea.

As the wind blew, it carried water from the river, and a mist swept over them.

After traveling for a long time, their bodies, which had been damp and hot, suddenly felt incredibly cool.

"Wow, so refreshing!" Jin Tong, who had already transformed back into human form, opened his arms and closed his eyes to feel it.

"This is so different from our Western Sea." Mo Li, who had long heard of the magnificent scenery of the Eastern Sea, exclaimed after seeing it with her own eyes.

"How about it? It's prettier than your West Sea, isn't it?" Yan Ling said proudly.

“I think the Western Sea is prettier,” Jin Tong said.

“Mm,” Shu Ning replied.

Hearing this, the others looked at Shu Ning in surprise, then quickly gathered around.

Shu Ning looked at the group of people who had gathered around her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

"Ningning, do you remember?" Mo Li asked excitedly.

"Remember...what?" Shu Ning asked curiously.

"I, we," Mo Li said excitedly, gripping her shoulders.

"You are Mo Li, you are Xiao Chong, Jin Tong, Han She, Yi Yuan, Xuan... Lin, Xuan Mo."

"Am I right?" Shu Ning asked Mo Li.

"Yes, that's right," Mo Li said, her eyes filled with tears.

"That's great! Ningning remembered!" Jintong exclaimed excitedly.

"So... what did you remember?" Shu Ning asked, smiling as she watched Jin Tong jump up excitedly.

The smiles on the faces of the group who had initially thought that Shu Ning had regained her memories vanished instantly upon hearing her question.

"It's nothing," Mo Li said, patting her head.

Shu Ning frowned as she looked at them. "Alright then."

Mo Li sighed inwardly, then distributed the breathing pills she had prepared in advance to them.

"I don't need it," Yan Ling refused.

“You won’t get any either,” Mo Li said.

"How do we get down now?" Jin Tong asked, looking at the surging black seawater crashing against the rocks below the mountain.

“Just jump down,” Nightmare said.

“I’ll lead the way,” Yan Ling said.

"Ningning, the cloak I gave you before should be in your spatial storage. Why don't you take it out and try it on?" Mo Li asked Shu Ning.

"A cape? What does it look like?" Shu Ning asked.

"It's... a color similar to my hair, with scales embedded in it," Mo Li described.

“Space…” Based on his description, Shu Ning formed a general image in her mind.

"Come out," she called out, raising her hand and closing her eyes.

At this moment, the others were all looking at her intently.

Then a dark blue cloak appeared in front of her in an instant.

She looked at the cloak that had appeared in her hand with surprise and delight, and showed it to Mo Li and Xiao Chong.

"Is this it?" she asked, looking at Mo Li.

“This is it,” Mo Li said, then took it out and draped it over her shoulders, tied the rope around her neck, and put the hat on her back.

The hat was so big that it covered most of her face, making it impossible for even beastmen taller than her to see her face.

"Wear this, and it won't be easy for others to spot Ningning," Mo Li said gently after dressing her.

"Hmm," Shu Ning replied, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Yan Ling looked at Shu Ning in surprise, "Amazing, how did you conjure that up? I never expected a female to be so powerful!"

"Alright, let's get ready to go," Yan Ling said, transforming into his original form and circling in the air once before speaking.

"Ningning, I'll take you this time," Mo Li said to Shu Ning, also transforming into her original form.

She looked at Mo Li and replied, "Okay."

Then, after the group entered the water, Yan Ling followed them in.

Xiao Chong and Jin Tong were on either side of Mo Li.

Xuan Lin, Yi Yuan, Xuan Mo, and Han She followed behind.

The moment she entered the sea, Shu Ning, wearing a cloak, seemed to become invisible, blending into the seawater.

When Jin Tong saw this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he almost thought that Shu Ning had disappeared.

This sea wasn't as teeming with beautiful marine life as Shu Ning had imagined.

A moment later.

"Boss, new recruits have arrived!" A sea beastman went back to report after seeing Jin Tong and the others.
