Chapter 470
This week's go with the flow.
Zong Tianming didn't know where the raft under him was drifting to.
However, after so many days of drifting, he has not seen anything else on the sea.
There was no trace of any islands or land.
This ocean seems truly endless.
The most important thing is that it is impossible to tell the direction.
After climbing for this period of time, Zong Tianming's spiritual power has also passed through three or four thousand levels of space.
Almost all of the teleportation portals in the Thousand Layer Space are located in the middle of the entire space.
But in this ocean, it is impossible to tell the direction.
I couldn't find east, west, south, or north, and there was no reference point.
Including the sun above our heads, which is always directly above our heads.
It is impossible to determine the direction by the position of the sun's shadow or the sun's rising and setting.
Zong Tianming still has a way to deal with this.
He took out the three-eyed weasel again.
This guy is sleeping lazily in the void inside his body.
It was suddenly summoned by Zong Tianming, and it thought that Zong Tianming was going to feed it something delicious.
Excitedly, he circled around Zong Tianming's feet.
But Zong Tianming just raised his foot and kicked it into the bottom of the sea.
The three-eyed weasel dived out of the water.
He first showed a puzzled look.
Then, he seemed to notice something.
With a start, he dived beneath the sea!
After a while, a sea fish as big as an arm appeared in its mouth.
There was a gleam of surprise in those shrewd little eyes.
Swallow the sea fish in one bite!
Any living creature in this ocean possesses the innate power of swallowing.
It is also a carrier of spiritual power.
Possessing extremely abundant spiritual power.
Every cell is made up of spiritual energy.
It's simply a panacea for life.
The three-eyed weasel is familiar with water.
They even feed on mirage beasts.
In the ocean, it directly transforms into a natural hunter.
Hunting like crazy.
Zong Tianming didn't interfere with it either.
Just lying lazily on the raft.
He casually took out a purple fairy peach, stuffed it into his mouth and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
The purple juice dripped into the sea, attracting countless marine creatures to swarm in.
Wait until an hour later.
The three-eyed weasel had already eaten its fill.
It was a great pleasure.
Only then did Zong Tianming put his fingers into his mouth.
A loud whistle was blown.
Hear Zong Tianming's call.
The three-eyed weasel immediately gave up hunting.
It is very smart, and after spending some time together, it has already known how powerful Zong Tianming is.
If it weren't for Zong Tianming, it would have to live in the third thousand-layer space for its entire life and would never be able to see these sceneries.
What's more, its natal demon pill is also in Zong Tianming's hands.
This is almost his lifeline.
Naturally, I dare not delay.
He swam happily to Zong Tianming's front.
"Don't be greedy. Lead the way for me. I want to go to that portal."
Zong Tianming knew that the three-eyed weasel was very spiritual.
Identify the location of the portal.
So he gave the order directly.
Then he took out the Chaos God Root again.
He stretched out his hand and threw it, and a loop was formed, hanging behind the three-eyed weasel's neck like a rein.
The three-eyed weasel's body and strength are enough to pull the raft.
The most important thing is that the three-eyed weasel is proficient in water.
Nothing unexpected will happen.
The three-eyed weasel was smart and immediately understood Zong Tianming's intention.
“Chichichi!”
After shouting excitedly.
He sniffed in all directions.
Finally locked on a direction.
Dive into the water.
Pulling the raft forward quickly!
The three-eyed weasel is very fast.
Many times faster than letting the raft drift with the ocean current.
Free labor is comfortable.
This three-eyed weasel can not only raft, but also distinguish directions.
Break through illusions and restrictions.
That's its talent.
It still works even in the ocean.
Under the pull of the three-eyed weasel.
A day later, the sea horizon in the distance finally changed.
The azure blue sea surface gradually turned dark and deep.
It was like coming into an ocean stained with ink.
Traces of islands began to appear around.
However, there is no life on these islands.
So it would be better to call it a dark reef rather than an island.
Bare and lonely.
Standing in the sea.
Moreover, as the raft moved forward, the number of reefs began to increase.
Even becoming more and more dense.
But at last, the scenery before my eyes is no longer so monotonous.
“Ah~ wuwuwu~”
"Ding~lilili~"
"Hoo~Gugugu~"
Suddenly, several voices with strange tones appeared abruptly in front.
What followed was the sudden appearance of a large gray fog.
These mists obscure everything.
The sudden change made the three-eyed itachi stunned.
As a result, the swimming speed also slowed down a lot.
Finally, it stopped.
“Chichichi!”
It emerged from the water, turned its head, and called out to Zong Tianming several times in a hurry.
The soft and smooth hair all over the body exploded.
As if feeling some kind of threat!
Before Zong Tianming could react.
The three-eyed weasel was suddenly pulled under the sea by something unknown!
Zong Tianming also felt a great force coming from the Chaos Divine Root in his hand.
Pulling frantically under the water!
The three-eyed weasel was also struggling violently.
Obviously, the situation beneath the sea has already become a mess!
Zong Tianming narrowed his eyes.
Gently pulled the divine root.
Suddenly, the power of the divine root began to intervene.
Directly flew into the air.
Pull the three-eyed weasel out of the sea.
In addition, an uninvited guest was also dragged out.
At this time, the three-eyed weasel was entangled with a strange creature with a human upper body and a fish lower body.
This horrifying creature bit the three-eyed weasel's body tightly.
As a ferocious beast in the ancient times, the three-eyed weasel naturally did not want to be outdone and bit the creature's neck.
They were entangled like this, attacking each other in the most primitive way.
The Chaos Divine Root and Zong Tianming are in tune with each other.
Naturally, I stand on the side of the three-eyed weasel.
The vine body shook.
The tip turned into a green spear.
Stab straight into the abdomen of this strange seaman!
The skin that the three-eyed weasel couldn't bite through was completely vulnerable to the spear transformed from the divine root.
It was penetrated directly.
Bright red blood flowed out!
Drop by drop, it finally formed a red line of blood.
Drops falling on the sea!
“Woo woo!”
The seaman uttered a mournful cry.
He loosened his mouth and grasped the divine root with both hands.
He actually pulled out the spear directly.
He fell into the ocean without looking back.
During the fall, as the position changed, Zong Tianming discovered that this seaman actually had beautiful hair and a charming face.
"Hai Ji..."
Zong Tianming seemed to recognize the true identity of this strange creature.
Something even stranger happened.
The moment when the sea princess' blood fell into the ocean.
It seemed to have some strange reaction with the sea water.
On the surface of the sea, the water was actually burning with dark green flames.
These flames radiate no light or heat.
But it is very oppressive.
This feeling of oppression is the same as the feeling those swallowing creatures feel when they absorb spiritual power in Zong Tianming's palm.
It's just countless times stronger.
Zong Tianming had no doubt that if the flame burned his body, he would be turned into a huge torch.
This flame is fueled by spiritual power!
As the flames burn.
One after another, sea fish with their bellies turned up floated on the sea.
These sea fish have all turned into shriveled fish jerky.
All the spiritual energy in his body was drained.
Obviously, all this was caused by this strange flame.
It's so overbearing.
You know, these flames were just formed by the blood that flowed from the sea princess' body and fell on the sea surface.
Hai Ji is one of the strange beasts in the ancient mountains and seas.
It has been extinct in the Continent of Ten Thousand Gods for countless years.
However, a large number of records and legendary allusions were left in the Continent of Ten Thousand Gods.
Zong Tianming read widely, and because of his strong mind, he could focus on 810 million things, so he read a large number of classics.
Just by concentrating a little, he recalled a lot of records about Hai Ji.
Haiji, a mermaid with a fish tail and a human body, is a supernatural being.
The sea silk they produce will not get wet when put into water, and when they cry, their tears will turn into pearls. The oil of the sea people, once burned, will not be extinguished for ten thousand years.
Volume 12 of Gan Bao's "Soushenji" in the Jin Dynasty wrote: "Beyond the South China Sea, there are sea people who live in water like fish, but they still weave. When they cry, pearls come out of their eyes." This story is also recorded in "Bowuzhi" and "Shuyiji", but the text is slightly different.
Volume 1 of Records of Strange Things says: "The Jiao man is Quanxian, also known as Quanke. Jiao gauze is found in the South China Sea. Quanxian weaves it underwater. It is also called dragon gauze. It costs more than a hundred gold coins. It is believed that it will not get wet when immersed in water. There is a Dragon Gauze Palace in the South China Sea, where Quanxian weaves gauze. Some of the gauze is as white as frost."
In addition, the Taiping Yulan, Volume 803, quoted from the Bowuzhi (which is no longer in the current edition), also says: "The seaman came out of the water and stayed at someone's house, selling silk for days. Before leaving, he asked the owner for a vessel, and cried until pearls filled the plate, which he gave to the owner."
"Records of Natural History" states: "There are sea people in the South China Sea, who live in water like fish, but never stop weaving, and their eyes can shed tears."
"Records of Strange Things" records: "The Hairen is Quanxian, also known as Quanke. ... In the South China Sea there is a Dragon Silk Palace, where Quanxian weaves silk. Some of the silk is as white as frost." "Records of Strange Things" also records: "The silk from the South China Sea is woven in the Quanshi room. It is called Dragon Silk. It costs a hundred gold coins. If you wear it as clothing, you won't get wet when you go into water."
There is also a poem called "Brocade Zither" which goes "The moon is bright over the sea and the pearls are shedding tears, the sun is warm in Lantian and the jade is smoking."
For thousands of years, countless people have been fascinated. If you ask what this poem means,
In the "Records of the Grand Historian, Volume 6, Chronicle of Emperor Ying, Chapter 6", there is a record about "mermaids", which mentions: "When the First Emperor ascended the throne, he dug and repaired Mount Li. When he unified the world, more than 700,000 people from all over the country came to help him. He dug three springs, put copper in them and made a coffin. The palaces, pavilions, and government offices were filled with rare and precious objects. He ordered the craftsmen to make crossbows and arrows, and anyone who came close to the crossbow would be shot. He used mercury to represent rivers and seas, and the machines were connected to each other. The upper part was astronomical, and the lower part was geographical. Mermaid fat was used as candles, which were estimated to last for a long time without going out."
The Book of Strange Things says: "The mermaid is human-like, more than a foot long. It is inedible. Its skin is as good as that of a sea fish, and it is cut into pieces by sawing wood. There is a small hole on its neck, and air comes out from it. In the tomb of Qin Shihuang, mermaid fat was used as candles, which is this fish. It was found in the East China Sea, and is now in Taizhou. "Note: Today, emperors use lacquer lamps in their tombs, and the fire will not go out. "
The Taiping Guangji states: "The sea mermaids are found in the East China Sea. The big ones are five or six feet long and look like humans. Their eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, hands, claws, and head are all those of beautiful women. Their skin is white like jade, without scales, but with fine hair of five colors, light and soft, one or two inches long. Their hair is like a horse's tail, five or six feet long. Their genitals are no different from those of men and women. Many widows and orphans near the sea are caught and raised in ponds. When they have sex, they are no different from humans and do not hurt anyone." (From the Qia Wen Ji)
"Classic of Mountains and Seas of All Gods - Southern Classic of the Seas" states: "The Di people are located to the west of Jianmu. They have human faces but fish bodies and no feet." "Classic of the Great Wilderness West" states: "There is a country of Hu people. The grandson of Emperor Yan was named Lingyu. Lingyu gave birth to Hu people, who can go up and down in the sky." Hao Yixing said: "The Hu people are the Di people in the Southern Classic of the Seas. The two characters Di and Hu are probably mispronounced because of their similar shapes. According to popular belief, Di is corrected to be Hu."
Once upon a time, Hai Ji left a lot of traces in the Continent of Ten Thousand Gods.
Unfortunately, in the ancient times when Zong Tianming lived, he disappeared without a trace.
According to legend, Hai Ji's tears can turn into pearls. She is good at weaving and can weave a magical material called sea silk, which does not get wet when put into water and has the natural ability to avoid water.
Another point is that the oil in Hai Ji's body, once burned, will last forever!
There was once an ancient emperor who collected the blood and fat of Hai Ji and made an eternal lamp.
This also explains why the blood began to burn after falling into the sea.
But I didn’t expect that in this tower of ascension, in this strange ocean, the flames burning actually had the property of swallowing.
Zong Tianming decided to capture one alive and study it.
The characteristics of this flame are very strange, and it may play an unexpected role in the future.
Moreover, Zong Tianming also noticed something.
All the creatures in this ocean, whether they are strange sea beasts, sea fish or even those plankton, and primitive species like Hai Ji, all have the power to swallow.
The root cause lies in this ocean!
The ocean is Hai Ji's home turf.
After the sea girl fell into the water with injuries, she quickly fled away.
The speed was many times faster than the three-eyed weasel that was pulling the raft before.
However, Zong Tianming was not in a hurry.
Because on the sea, a burning trail gradually extended into the distance...
Zong Tianming ordered Shengen to take the three-eyed weasel back to the sea.
In the previous fight.
The three-eyed weasel was not injured because Hai Ji was unable to penetrate its fur.
However, it seemed to be very afraid of the burning flames.
Swimming aside with the raft.
"Follow this trail of fire. Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
Zong Tianming pointed at the trajectory of the flames and gave instructions to the three-eyed weasel.
“Chichi!”
With Zong Tianming's support, the three-eyed weasel would naturally not be afraid of anything.
It began to drag the raft along the trail of fire left by the injured Hai Ji, swimming away quickly!
Half an hour later!
The trace came to an abrupt end.
The three-eyed weasel also stopped.
Looking ahead with some fear.
In front of them, the vast ocean was completely covered by the dark green swallowing flames.
The previous trajectories have been integrated into it and are indistinguishable from each other.
The entire ocean is burning!
Obviously, there is definitely more than one Hai Ji.
But there is an ethnic group.
And the intelligence of these sea princesses is not low.
The burning ocean in front of me.
It was simply the defense set up by those sea princesses.
They survive in this ocean and have mastered the ability to absorb.
Naturally, you will also find that your own blood and oil will produce wonderful reactions with the ocean.
Create this extremely domineering swallowing fire.
This kind of flame is perfect as a barrier!
Even the native sea beasts in the ocean can’t swim over!
