Chapter 172 Continuing North



"OK."

The mutated dolphin agreed and did not intend to stop it.

He also understood that since things had developed to this point, and the gifts had already been delivered, there was no reason for him to stop others.

Even the mutated dolphin, gazing at Little Red's slender body, still harbored a hint of longing in its eyes.

In fact, his thoughts were not merely an expression of pure desire, but had deeper underlying reasons.

That was the trace of dragon nature within Xiao Hong!

Now that they had no choice but to give up, Dawson ordered his men to begin moving outwards, gradually opening a gap in the encirclement.

"Walk!"

Xu Xing waved his hand in a low voice, quickly urging the unruly Xiao Hong to leave.

Then countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command came out through the exit, and those large turtles finally stuck their heads out of their shells.

As expected, they were utterly useless. Little Red glared at them.

This place is not far from the mouth of the Yangtze River. Once you enter the Yangtze River, find the tributary controlled by Xiao Hong, and swim along it.

During this journey, Xu Xingfei took to the air, which not only broadened the field of vision but also served as a protective escort.

To be honest, he was still a little scared that Dawson might go back on his word. After all, his eyes weren't as kind as he appeared. If a fight suddenly broke out, it would be bad for both of them to end up hurt.

Moreover, even if Dawson keeps his word, there are still many creatures in the river eyeing this place covetously, hoping to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

However, seeing that Xiao Hong and her men had escaped unharmed, the creatures in the river could only swim back again in great disappointment.

The strongest species in the great river is called the mutated finless porpoise, a creature that should have gone extinct during peacetime.

However, after the disaster, it somehow developed again, taking advantage of the natural strength of the Yangtze River, and its development was exceptionally rapid.

As the largest predator in the great river and at the top of the river's food chain, it can naturally consolidate its position and dominate the mountain without the threat of humans.

In Xu Xing's memory, after some time, the number of water molecules in the atmosphere will increase, and the precipitation will increase, which will cause the entire river basin to expand outward by almost double.

By then, the coverage area of ​​that group of finless porpoises will further increase, and once high-level mutated beasts appear, they will become a major force.

However, many of humanity's major cities are connected to the Great River, and there is frequent communication between the two. Even those who hate humanity to the core are forced to sign peace treaties.

Even so, a significant number of people still die in the river every year.

With Xu Xing's protection, Xiao Hong swaggered through the estuary, entered the great river, found the previous tributary, and then went back into the past.

During the entire process, no creature dared to attack.

Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief after he had sheltered Xiao Hong and the others and they had all entered the tributary.

Then, using telepathy, he sent a message to Xiaohong.

"Go home first, and later send a big turtle to tell Susie that everything is safe. I have some things I need to do alone."

Xu Xing made the arrangements.

"My current strength has finally reached a bottleneck," Xu Xing muttered to himself above the sea.

Although, with his current peak level six strength and dual superpowers, the number of humans on Earth who can defeat him can be counted on one hand.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, he has already been able to change some aspects of human progress.

However, Xu Xing still maintained a high level of vigilance and was never arrogant.

This time, the threshold for advancing to a high-level superhuman was also the longest stage he had ever spent since his rebirth.

In his previous life, at this point in time, having just advanced to level four, he followed a path of gradual accumulation before unleashing his full potential.

He used to be so timid and hesitant in everything he did, unlike him who was so carefree today.

"Since we are currently at peace and I have the upper hand, why don't I go and find out what's going on? Even if I don't find anything, it'll just be a waste of time."

As Xu Xing thought about it, he had already set another goal for himself in his mind.

His gaze was fixed on the north.

With this thought in mind, Xu Xing no longer hesitated, started the engine at full speed, and set off rapidly northward.

Flying northwards over the Yellow Sea, we encountered countless magnificent and awe-inspiring sights.

They even encountered a storm on one stretch of sea.

Its intensity was simply overwhelming, like a devastating force.

Compared to this, a storm during peacetime is nothing more than a light drizzle.

Xu Xing estimated that ordinary fishing boats simply couldn't survive in this kind of weather and would only have to obediently await their fate of being torn apart.

Even intermediate-level ability users risk annihilation once they enter the ocean.

Perhaps only those steel fortress-like aircraft carriers could withstand an attack of this energy level.

Waves tens of meters high can shatter fishing boats, but they can't destroy the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Therefore, only fleets with multiple high-level superhumans as escorts can engage in long-distance trade.

Only a select few aircraft carriers can pull off such a feat.

According to Xu Xing's recollection, there are probably only about ten aircraft carriers that have survived and are still in use.

Looking at the storm in front of him, even Xu Xing would have to find a nearby island to take shelter first; rushing in rashly would be foolish.

We don't know if there's still danger ahead, so it's best to conserve our energy.

Fortunately, the surrounding area wasn't always just an endless sea; a few dozen kilometers away, there was a small, oval-shaped island.

Xu Xing quickly flew up to avoid the storm.

The island is not large, perhaps only the size of a small town, with some low-lying houses scattered across it.

However, there is no trace of human habitation now. They either escaped or were eaten by some unknown creatures in the surrounding area.

The arrival of the storm startled the crabs that had been gathering on the beach. Some swam into the sea, while others lay still on the sand and crawled into deeper waters.

These crabs are all quite large; the largest one looks about the size of a table, and its energy level is that of a level two mutated beast.

No wonder there's no one left on the island.

Xu Xing curled his lip, caught the crab, and walked into the only natural cave on the island.

The interior was deep and spacious, but Xu Xing didn't have much desire to explore it.

They simply cut the crab into pieces, set up a fire, and grilled it directly.

By the time he finished eating, the weather outside had improved.

After Xu Xing went out, it seemed that due to the storm, all kinds of buildings on the island were destroyed, and the remaining debris had flowed away to who knows where.

It can be said that this small island has no trace left by humans.

Xu Xing had no time to feel sad or melancholic about autumn; he continued northward.
