Shushu hadn't expected that their first time traversing the void passage would lead to such a coincidence—a void storm.
Looking at the fierce and terrifying storm outside, while feeling the turbulence of the shuttle boat.
To be honest, having witnessed the Demon King being annihilated by the storm, she was somewhat frightened at this moment. Her little claws even couldn't help but clench Lu Li's clothes tightly for comfort.
Lu Li, who was struggling to control the shuttle boat, noticed her nervousness. Without much thought, he freed up a bit of his mind and, as usual, rolled the sweet potato into his clothes.
Surrounded by the familiar scent, Shushu's tense heart gradually calmed down. She skillfully pulled at her clothes, cautiously peering outside through the light screen.
The shuttle, which was originally just at the edge of the storm, is now getting closer and closer to the eye of the storm, and is at risk of being sucked in, swallowed and torn apart at any moment.
As for their original route, it had already been far deviated from due to the storm.
Seeing that they were about to be completely caught in the eye of the storm and crushed along with everything around them, Lu Li was prepared to steel himself and put the millet into his spatial storage, taking on the crushing blows himself.
Unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared: the storm was gradually approaching a continent, and it seemed it would just glide past it.
Given such a favorable opportunity, Lu Li didn't hesitate for a moment before deciding to settle down on this continent.
Out of the corner of their eye, they glanced at the star chart showing the name of the nearest continent: Huaiyu Continent. Although it was far away from the Flying Continent they planned to go to, they had no other choice under the circumstances.
Therefore, Lu Li held his breath and concentrated his energy in secret.
As they were swept along by the storm past the Huaiyu Continent, they desperately steered the shuttle toward the barrier of the Huaiyu Continent.
The continent's natural barriers, regardless of its elevation, are immune to storms.
In that instant, their shuttle boat also temporarily escaped the suction of the storm and gained a brief moment of freedom.
To prevent the shuttle from being sucked back into the storm, Lu Li seized the opportunity.
With a sudden descent, their shuttle boat passed through the barrier of the Huaiyu Continent and entered the mainland, plummeting from the sky and crashing heavily into the boundless sea.
The two siblings were also knocked unconscious by the force of the gravity drop and sank to the bottom of the sea along with the shuttle boat.
In the last second before he completely lost consciousness, Lu Li subconsciously held Shushu carefully in his arms.
Fortunately, the shuttle boat lived up to its name; even after crashing into the seabed, the hull remained intact, without any cracks or seawater seepage.
The circulation system inside the shuttle boat was still operating diligently, constantly supplying oxygen and spiritual energy, and neither Lu Li nor Shu Shu suffered from suffocation.
And so, the shuttle quietly sank to the bottom of the sea, waiting for its owner to awaken.
Lu Li and Shushu were both in relatively good physical condition, and they woke up one after the other after being unconscious for most of the day.
Lu Li was the first to wake up. The first thing he did after waking up was not to look at his surroundings, but to find the millet.
After discovering that the sweet potato had been firmly protected by him and was not injured but only stunned, he breathed a long sigh of relief, carefully put the sweet potato back into his clothes, and then began to look around.
Through the light screen, he could also see the underwater world they were in and the various sea creatures swimming around outside.
Some of them were curious and tried to pry open the shuttle boat, but they couldn't, so they just kept circling around it.
These sea beasts were at least at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and some were at the late-Out-of-Body stage.
Lu Li pondered for a second and then decided not to open the shuttle boat for the time being, but to maintain the status quo and wait until a suitable method and way out were found.
After all, with his current late-stage Nascent Soul strength, those sea beasts are easy to talk to, but if they are not, he won't be able to deal with them in a short time. It's better to remain silent for now.
Thinking of this, Lu Li could only carefully control his divine sense, trying to avoid these sea beasts, and begin to explore the surrounding situation and find a way out.
Before his divine sense could detect anything, Shushu, nestled in his clothes, stirred and woke up. Shushu quickly recalled everything that had happened.
At Lu Li's prompting, she immediately looked quietly outside as well.
After seeing the cultivation levels of the sea beasts outside, her pupils contracted sharply.
She also understood that her master's description of the outside world—"Golden Core cultivators are as common as dogs, and Nascent Soul cultivators are everywhere"—was not a joke, and her expression became even more serious.
He asked Lu Li in a low voice, "Senior Brother, what do we do now?"
Lu Li had already come up with a solution, and since he would need Shushu's help later, he didn't hide anything from her.
"I've investigated. These sea monsters outside seem to belong to two groups. We'll find a way to make them fight, and then we'll leave in the chaos."
As soon as Lu Li said this, not only did Shushu's eyes light up, but even Shuchi ran out, excitedly looking at Lu Li: "Fishing in troubled waters? I'll do it, I'll do it, this old man loves doing this the most."
As it spoke, it controlled its strength, pushing the millet and sweet potato aside, and then moved closer to Lu Li: "Little one, you're still young, this is something your ancestor should do."
The way he was so confident and eager to cause trouble left Shushu completely dumbfounded, staring at Shuchi with wide eyes in disbelief.
Unfortunately, Shu Chi was thick-skinned. No matter how Shu Shu looked at it, it pretended not to see it and kept trying to wink at Lu Li, signaling him to quickly tell it the plan.
In order to prevent the yam from taking over the work, it even secretly tried to use its spiritual power to cover the yam's ears.
Shushu was unwilling to accept this, and immediately rushed up, grabbing Shuchi's beard, determined not to let it block his hearing.
The grandfather and grandson were locked in a tug-of-war, neither willing to yield, until Lu Li finally separated the two rats, saying, "Don't worry, you both have things to do."
One sentence instantly extinguished the angry glare between the grandfather and grandson, and brought them back to each other's goodwill.
Shu Chi stopped using his spiritual power, and Shu Shu also released his claws that were pulling at the whiskers. They even dusted each other off non-existent dust, behaving as well as a mouse.
Lu Li couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, then rubbed his temples helplessly before casually beginning to explain his plan to the two of them.
Despite the shuttle's excellent isolation, making it impossible for anyone outside to know what was happening inside, the one person and two rats whispered amongst themselves for a long time, like thieves.
The eyes of Shuchi and Shushu grew brighter and brighter as they listened. When Lu Li finally finished speaking, Shuchi couldn't help but reach out and pat Lu Li's shoulder several times with his claws.
Then, without waiting for Lu Li to say "start," the grandfather and grandson had already sneaked close to the light screen and started choosing a target to cause trouble.
