Shi Yi's figure suddenly stopped, as if time had frozen in that moment. Su Rui's heart instantly tightened, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. Was Shi Yi going to turn around and challenge Lan Chi alone? He couldn't believe his own guess, and his heart was filled with doubt and worry.
Before Su Rui could recover, a wave of dizziness washed over him like a surging tide. It felt like being in a high-speed car and suddenly having to brake suddenly, making your heartbeat suddenly accelerate, as if it was about to jump out of your chest. A terrifying fear followed him everywhere, making his breathing quicken.
To make matters worse, the path ahead wasn't a broad, open road, but rather a solid, cold, underwater rock wall, an impassable barrier. Su Rui's nerves reached a fever pitch, beads of cold sweat breaking out on his head. His heart was filled with an unprecedented fear. He stared, eyes wide open, as he watched himself collide with the icy rock wall.
However, just as his head was about to collide with the rock wall on the seabed, a miracle occurred. Like a phantom, the rock wall was pierced through without hindrance. Then, his entire body was propelled into the rock wall by Shi Yi's force, as if entering an unknown world. He felt himself hurtling through the depths of light and shadow at a speed that was astonishing.
Behind them, a surge of cold air surged forward, surging like a raging wave. However, its speed had significantly slowed. A rumbling sound echoed in their ears, like the roar of a blue dragon crashing into the rock wall.
Su Rui and Shi Yi's frayed nerves finally relaxed, and they breathed a long sigh of relief, yet their hearts were filled with regret and loss. This adventure seemed to have been a huge loss. After all the hardships, they had only obtained a single pearl, and now they were being pursued by a terrifying blue dragon. Although they hadn't engaged it head-on, the cold light it emitted instilled in them an unprecedented fear. That cold light must be the legendary Ice Soul Divine Light; no other divine light could possess such immense power!
The Ice Soul Divine Light is a magical power that can be compared to the true fire of the sun. Any living creature that encounters it will be frozen into ice. Even if it can break out of the ice, it will suffer frostbite and serious damage to its vitality.
The blue dragon came with a ferocious momentum, its surging body as terrifying as a raging wave, terrifying to the very sight of. Even without becoming a dragon, it was likely already a seasoned demon, its power unfathomable. Furthermore, as a species of dragon with a rich bloodline, the blue dragon possessed an extraordinary talent for water-based magical powers and an ice-based body, so one could only imagine its immense strength.
Upon seeing the powerful Blue Chi, the two men turned and fled without hesitation. They knew that if they pressed their own strength, they would have little chance of defeating the enemy and might even risk their lives. After Shi Yi used the Earth Escape technique to carry Su Rui into the rock face, their hearts pounded like drums, and their nerves lingered for a long time. Although the Blue Chi was no longer pursuing them, the two men remained vigilant. They raced for seven or eight miles along the rock face of the seabed mountain before cautiously poking their heads out and peering around furtively.
Confirming the Blue Chi hadn't pursued them, they breathed a sigh of relief. Safe at last! They emerged from the rock face and swam swiftly to the surface, sitting in the Spirit Fish Shuttle. Still reeling from the thrill of the moment, they took out their wine and meat and devoured them ravenously while steering the shuttle. The spicy flavor and delicious taste of the wine and meat soothed their inner turmoil, gradually calming their nerves.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Su Rui patted his round belly contentedly and said with emotion: "This trip is really a loss of both the wife and the army!" His tone was full of helplessness and regret.
Shi Yi nodded slowly, his expression thoughtful, "But that pearl seems unusual." He carefully took it out and examined it closely. It shone faintly, a mysterious aura surrounding it. A hint of surprise and curiosity lingered in Shi Yi's eyes, as if the pearl were a mystery waiting to be solved.
"This pearl must have a great history. Maybe it can be sold for a good price." A strange light flashed in Su Rui's eyes. He stared at the pearl, as if he saw countless gold, silver and treasures waving to him.
Shi Yi put away the pearl, then activated the Spirit Fish Shuttle, and rushed off into the distance like an arrow.
The sea sparkled, and the sunlight sprinkled on their bodies like golden fragments, making them feel warm and comfortable. The breeze brought a slight coolness, making them feel extremely comfortable. Gradually, their moods also calmed down like the calm sea.
However, the weather at sea was even more unpredictable than the changing weather in Sichuan. They had barely sat down to drink a cup of tea when the clear blue sky vanished without a trace, replaced by dark clouds. The dark clouds enveloped the sky, as if a storm was about to break out.
Although the Lingyu Shuttle is fully enclosed, it will be restricted in such bad weather, and may even be buried at the bottom of the sea if it is not careful.
In order to escape this dangerous sea as quickly as possible and find a safe island to rest, Shi Yi made a quick decision and plunged his Spirit Fish Shuttle into a small cloud. Because, beneath the cloud, ten miles away, there was an island that looked quite large, like a lifeline for them in this vast ocean.
However, as soon as the Spirit Fish Shuttle entered the dark clouds, Shi Yi immediately sensed something was amiss. His face instantly turned pale, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. He acted decisively, rapidly increasing the Spirit Fish Shuttle's speed and without hesitation, retreating the same way he had come.
Within the swirling dark clouds lurked a terrifyingly large, green-skinned sea serpent. Its body, as thick as a bucket, resembled a moving mountain. As it emerged halfway from the clouds, it opened its mouth and spit out a beam of white lightning as thick as an arm, striking directly at the Spirit Fish Shuttle.
Shi Yi piloted the Spirit Fish Shuttle, nimbly dodging Lei Mang's attack with exceptional skill. However, from the dark clouds, a multitude of heads, including those of shrimp soldiers, crab generals, turtle commanders, and fish commanders, emerged. They waved banners and mercilessly unleashed various spells, raining down upon the Spirit Fish Shuttle.
"You young human, you have slaughtered my people innocently! Shall you die!" A sharp, piercing voice echoed through the thunderclouds. Su Rui and the others had initially assumed that the blue dragon had caught up with them, but upon seeing the scene before them, they realized they had unwittingly provoked another disaster. What retribution! As fate would have it, the wheel of fate would turn!
