Su Rui tried hard to stay awake, not fainting, but the storm was too powerful. The little power he possessed from the River God seemed insignificant in the face of this earth-shattering storm. Helplessly, he strengthened his body's defenses, curled up tightly, and could only resign himself to his fate and drift with the current.
As he was swept to the bottom of the sea, an unprecedented fear washed over him. It was like being watched closely by a natural enemy, a pressure from the depths of his soul. Su Rui's heartbeat quickened, and he could feel his breathing quicken. This palpitating fear made him tremble all over, as if the whole world had frozen in that moment.
Fortunately, this suffocating feeling didn't last long. Soon, he felt himself being violently flung away by the "wind and waves." As the palpitations subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, the pain in his body suddenly hit him, as if it was tearing him apart.
Feeling relieved, Su Rui struggled to untwist himself from his crouched position after feeling the storm behind him. Every slight movement felt like it was tearing at his bones, causing excruciating pain, as if his entire body had been beaten countless times. Remember, he was still wearing the body of the Tongbi Divine Ape. His body, once as hard as iron and stone, felt like it had been crushed. The pain was unbearable, and ordinary magic weapons were simply unable to break his tough skin.
It seemed that the storm not only did not stop, but was about to turn around and come back.
Su Rui's heart instantly chilled, as if overwhelmed by an icy current. Panicking, he drew his sword and, without hesitation, dove headfirst into a nearby island. Direction was now irrelevant; escaping the strange storm at sea was the most pressing priority.
The island was quite large, with many coconut trees and shrubs growing on it. Su Rui fled to the foot of a small hill in the center of the island and finally found a small rock wall that could provide some shelter from the wind and rain, and then he stopped.
"Let's carve out a simple cave here today and rest for a while!" he thought to himself. Then, he unleashed his thundering sword energy, splitting the mountain and splitting the rocks. In less than a cup of tea, a simple cave over ten feet high and two feet deep appeared before him. He then split open a huge rock and moved it to the cave entrance, using it as a doorway to protect himself from the wind and rain.
Afterward, Su Rui went to pick some coconuts. He had originally planned to hunt for game on the island, but the storm had already arrived, so he had no choice but to take refuge in his simple cave, clutching the coconuts. In this simple shelter, Su Rui's heart remained restless for a long time, as he recalled the turbulent waves he had just experienced, and he still felt a sense of unease.
Su Rui sat in the cave with a frown on his face, muttering to himself, "I wonder how Shi Yi and Chi Jiao are doing now. In this harsh environment, their situation must be very difficult, right?" As he thought about it, he opened a green coconut and drank it all in one gulp anxiously.
The wind and rain howled outside the cave all night, as if the heavens were venting their endless sorrow. Su Rui sat in the cave all night, his sorrow overwhelmed like a tide. He stared silently at the cave entrance, letting the cool breeze from the cracks blow freely against him.
The next morning, the wind died down and the rain subsided, but the thick fog lingered. Su Rui looked at everything before him, feeling helpless. The thick fog seemed endless, weighing on his heart.
Su Rui decided not to sit still and wait for death. He would follow the storm's path to find Shi Yi and the red dragon. He gripped his sword tightly, resolutely stepped onto his flying sword, and soared toward the sea. However, the moment his eyes touched the surface, his heart sank—a massive sea serpent floated on the surface, its body heaving with the waves.
On the turbulent sea, a dark mass loomed beside the sea serpent, a terrifying sight. A closer look revealed a swarm of creatures resembling enlarged loaches, even more menacing than the loaches themselves. They possessed teeth as sharp as saws and towering, menacing fins. They gathered in a swarm, some ten feet long, some as large as three. These loaches surrounded the motionless sea serpent, but dared not approach.
That’s right, this is the sea loach that Su Rui has been searching for for a long time, and the green-skinned sea snake that besieged him and Shi Yi before!
At that moment, several sea loaches, their bellies turned upside down, appeared beside the green-skinned sea snake, their bodies occasionally flashing with lightning! Su Rui's heart trembled, realizing this was a rare opportunity! However, how to obtain both became a thorny problem. His heart was filled with desire and entanglement. The godsend opportunity was right before his eyes, but realizing it was fraught with difficulties.
He anxiously watched the sea loach and the green-skinned sea serpent, considering every possible solution. As the seconds ticked by, sweat dripped from his forehead, and his anxiety and uneasiness grew. This opportunity was too rare to miss, but at the same time, he couldn't risk further danger. He had to think calmly and find a solution that would satisfy both parties.
Su Rui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He carefully observed his surroundings, considering every detail. Finally, an idea struck him. He decided to use the mirage to transform into a sea eel, then stay out of the way and secretly capture it.
He ran furiously, finally reaching a secluded patch of grass on the shore. He took a deep breath, then channeled his Yuan Shen Qi. A miraculous transformation began to occur within his body, gradually transforming into a ten-foot-long sea loach. Cautiously and quietly, he approached the group of sea loaches, his heart filled with worry.
Because he didn't have the soul and blood of the sea loach, he could only change his appearance, but couldn't change his blood, and he didn't even know how to communicate with them. Among these social creatures, his identity was easily exposed.
However, when he successfully pulled up a sea loach and knocked it unconscious in a corner, he was surprised to find that the sea loaches' defenses against the outside world were not as strict as he had imagined. This discovery made Su Rui secretly happy. He finally had the opportunity to obtain the sea loach's soul and blood, and thus truly become a sea loach with its own roots.
When he merged into the periphery of the sea loach group again and was about to kill the surrounding sea loaches, he suddenly found that the sea loach group was conveying fear. Looking up, he saw a huge island appearing in the fog in the distance.
Looking more closely, he realized that what he saw was not an island, but a dragon turtle carrying a small mountain range on its back. Not to mention its back, even its head, which was occasionally raised, was a small mountain.
What is even more surprising is that the mountains on the dragon's body actually have palaces and a white dragon roaming in the air to escort it.
What is presented is a fairyland scene!
