"That's right."
Another person chimed in, "We need to interrogate him thoroughly and see what's going on behind the scenes."
Upon hearing this, the young man's face turned deathly pale.
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, and dark clouds filled the sky.
The villagers involuntarily looked up at the sky, their faces showing worry.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and said, "Fellow villagers, there are more important matters to attend to right now. We'll discuss this brother's matter later."
The villagers nodded in agreement.
Their attention quickly shifted away from the young people.
At this moment, the sea was churning with clouds, howling winds, and towering waves.
Although Xiao Feng couldn't see, he had Wu Wu beside him, who could be his eyes. He called out softly, "Wu Wu, look over there and see what's going on."
Wuwu is a crow that is entirely black.
It flapped its wings and flew to Xiao Feng's shoulder, its eyes fixed intently on the surging sea in the distance.
Suddenly, Wuwu let out a sharp cry.
Xiao Feng's heart tightened, and he asked, "Wu Wu, what did you see?"
Just then, two eerie green eyes suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, like two will-o'-the-wisps flickering in the darkness.
Huge waves rolled and thick fog filled the air. The entire sea surface seemed to be stirred up by a mysterious force, creating towering waves.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared on the sea.
Its shape and outline clearly resemble an enormous turtle!
Wuwu flapped its wings and exclaimed excitedly, "That's an enormous turtle! Its body is bigger than ten large ships, and its shell is covered with dark green moss, making it look like a moving island. Its head is as tall as a mountain, and its two eyes are like green lighthouses, flashing on the sea. Its limbs are as thick as giant pillars, and every stroke can stir up towering waves!"
Xiao Feng was shocked after hearing Wu Wu's description.
A name immediately popped into his mind: "Bixi!"
“Bixi, one of the legendary mythical beasts, the eighth of the nine sons of the dragon. Not only is it enormous, but it can also bear immense weight and is often used to support stone tablets. It is said that it can also summon wind and rain and control waters.” Xiao Feng muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.
He was filled with doubt: "But how did the Bixi appear here? Is there something special about this sea area?"
Just as Xiao Feng was pondering, the wind and waves on the sea suddenly became even more violent.
The howling wind sounded like the wailing of ghosts, and the giant waves crashed against the shore with a deafening roar.
The seawater churned as if boiling, with waves splashing dozens of feet high.
The crowd on the shore immediately fell into chaos.
"My God! What kind of monster is that?"
"Run! A tsunami is coming!"
"Oh no, we're doomed!"
People screamed, shoved, and jostled as they tried to escape to higher ground.
Some people fell to the ground, but got up on their hands and feet and continued to flee for their lives.
Some people were carrying children, stumbling and running backwards, their faces filled with fear.
Just then, the sea suddenly began to churn violently, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and a fierce wind.
A colossal creature slowly emerged from the sea; it was a gigantic bixi (a mythical tortoise-like creature).
Its body is bluish-gray, covered with hard scales, and its limbs are thick and powerful.
What's most striking is its pair of golden eyes.
Bixi stared straight at Xiao Feng and said, "Human, my master wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment.
He wondered to himself, "Who is this master? Why does he want to see me?"
Is there any danger?
But his thoughts were quickly interrupted.
Seeing Xiao Feng hesitate, Bixi threatened, "If you don't agree, none of the people on this beach will survive."
Xiao Feng looked around and saw that the people on the beach were disheveled and their faces were full of fear.
Some were trembling with fear while holding their children, some were kneeling and praying, and others were too frightened to move.
This scene made Xiao Feng's heart tighten; he knew he couldn't let these innocent people suffer.
"Alright, I promise you," Xiao Feng said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, Wu Wu walked to Xiao Feng's side and gently helped him up.
Xiao Feng then noticed Wu Wu's appearance.
She was petite with fair skin, and her large eyes were filled with worry.
"Xiao Feng, are you alright?" she asked softly.
With Wu Wu's help, Xiao Feng struggled to climb onto the back of the Bixi.
With a turn, Bixi led Xiao Feng and Wuwu into the sea.
The seawater quickly submerged them, and sunlight shone through the water, creating dappled light and shadow on the seabed.
Although Xiao Feng was blind, he could sense changes in his surroundings.
The pressure of the seawater, the vibrations from the swimming fish, and the rough texture on the back of the tortoise all made him realize that he was entering another world.
"Where exactly are they taking me?" Xiao Feng wondered.
As the Bixi swam, the surrounding seawater gradually became clear, and a magnificent crystal palace slowly appeared before Xiao Feng and Wu Wu's eyes.
This crystal palace is made entirely of crystal and shimmers with a dreamlike glow under the deep blue light of the seabed.
The palace's spire, like a blooming lotus flower, extends upwards in layers, each inlaid with gemstones of different colors, shimmering under the flow of water.
Bixi led Xiao Feng and Wuwu through a huge pearl gate and into the Crystal Palace.
The interior space is spacious and bright, with lifelike marine life patterns carved on the surrounding walls.
The floor is made of colorful seashells, which make a pleasant sound when you step on them.
In the very center of this strange and magnificent crystal palace, a figure slowly emerged.
He was a man dressed in a blue and white robe, his face covered by a thin veil, only his deep, ocean-like eyes could be vaguely seen.
The man was enveloped in a faint blue light, giving him an air of mystery.
"Welcome to my domain, young human."
The man's voice was as gentle as the ocean waves, yet full of power: "I am the guardian of this sea; you may call me the Sea God."
Although Xiao Feng couldn't see, he could feel the other party's powerful aura, which made him a little nervous.
"May I ask what brings you here?"
Poseidon gently waved his hand, and a warm current enveloped Xiao Feng's eyes.
This feeling is truly wonderful and makes you feel very comfortable.
"I know you can't see right now, and I can heal your eyes. But in exchange, I need you to help me with a task."
Hearing that it could cure his eyes, Xiao Feng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What mission? As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
The sea god slowly said, "On the distant eastern continent, there is a mysterious place called 'Penglai Immortal Island'."
