According to Wang Shen's instructions, Xu Chen continued to cultivate, and sure enough, he gained a lot. He no longer forcibly sought a breakthrough, but spent several hours guiding those ice-cold water aura into his dantian little by little, constantly transforming, absorbing and finally turning them into his own.

In such an extremely cold atmosphere, Xu Chen suddenly discovered that the water aura stored in the dantian was actually active in an unprecedented manner!

This couldn't help but make him shake all over, and then the water aura in the dantian spread uncontrollably, turning into a shock wave that spread and fluctuated everywhere in his body. It was as if this newborn force had been sleeping in its body before, but now it had awakened.

Xu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, it was obvious that he had not fully adapted to this state of cultivation, but he could already feel that the breath of new life turned into a sharp sword and shuttled back and forth in his body before he knew it, as if he wanted to clear all obstacles.

At this moment, there was a water-blue light constantly bursting out of Xu Chen's body to cover his whole body, which in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Chen seemed to be like a god and Buddha descending, making people feel awe.

At this time, a pain that could not be described in words set off in Xu Chen's body like a stormy wave, it was a huge pain caused by the sword qi in his body when it was swimming around, as if it was about to break out of his body at any time and wreak havoc in all directions!

Originally, the veins of the whole body could not be smoothed like a dead end, but now the sword qi flowed along the veins, and it actually pierced the blocked acupoint path little by little, making it extremely smooth.

Xu Chen's heart was very excited, although his eyes were still closed, he could clearly see that countless points of light appeared in the dark world, they were flickering, emitting a soft light.

Xu Chen had felt this wonderful feeling before, and he knew that these points of light were actually the projections of the acupuncture points in his body in the external world, and the newly generated sword qi was shuttling back and forth along the trajectory between these points of light, and then drawing beautiful arcs of light.

This sudden change not only shocked Xu Chen's heart, but also made Wang Shen, who was observing his cultivation on the side, frown, this old snitch knew that Xu Chen had broken through his own obstacles and was about to produce a new qualitative change, so in the next few days, this young man would no longer encounter difficulties in cultivation.

Gradually, Xu Chen integrated into the realm of selflessness, and the hidden true qi was gradually stimulated, and he felt that he was full of strength, and his cultivation was growing little by little. However, he also understood that he would probably need to cultivate for a long time before refining the third layer of the Void Realm.

In this way, the night passed imperceptibly in the process of hard cultivation, although the progress was slow, but it was better than the previous encounter of giving up halfway, and when the first rays of sunlight shone into the cabin in the early morning, Xu Chen only felt that he was refreshed, and he couldn't help but be happy, which showed that as long as the cultivation method was correct, he still had a lot of potential to tap.

Then he heard someone outside, "Alas, I'm finally going home." ”

Xu Chen's heart moved, and he pushed the window to look, although he had not yet been able to see the outline of the land, he knew that this sea trip was about to end.

Because the surrounding water has taken on a light green color, which is a unique sight in the coastal waters of Kuyingguo, it means that the cargo ship will be able to dock in two or three days at most.

"Strange, why can't you see the floating corpse?" Wang Shen said with a frown behind him, completely lacking the joy he felt when he arrived at his destination.

Xu Chen said with a big grin: "This is a good thing, it seems that we are going to land safely." ”

Just when Xu Chen thought that everything was fine, they were in trouble the next day, to be precise, the entire cargo ship encountered something unfortunate that they had never experienced in their lives.

First the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and the people on deck were the first to see a convoy of ships on the sea, full of flags, which were spread out in a zigzag pattern, almost blocking the way of the cargo ships.

Xu Chen asked in surprise, "We can't have encountered pirates, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, can pirates have so many ships?" Wang Shen put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, recognizing that most of the ships in front of him were huge buildings, and he suddenly realized that this fleet belonged to the navy of the Detention Kingdom.

Suddenly, a slender ship came out of the fleet, and it sailed swiftly towards the side of the freighter, and before the two ships could get close together, one of the generals standing at the bow of the ship fell to the deck of the freighter like a wild goose.

"Which of you is the captain, come out and give me an answer!" the young general's tone was very impatient, as if he did not want to stay on the cargo ship for a long time.

Hearing the general's words, the captain hurriedly ran out and answered: "The villain is, I don't know what the adults command?"

"Hurry up and take a detour, no sailing ahead!"

"My lord, if you let the small one make a detour to the next port and dock, it will take at least ten more days to sail, aren't you embarrassed?"

The whole ship had been adrift at sea for dozens of days, and when they suddenly heard the young general's order not to dock, their faces were full of doubts and anger, and they all felt that he was too unkind, and it was obvious that he was deliberately making things difficult.

When the young general saw that the captain seemed to be disobedient, he immediately opened his eyes and said sharply: "This is the king's order, and anyone who does not obey it will be killed!"

A sailor had the audacity to answer and said, "What kind of order is this, it's too domineering!"

With a "snap", the general raised his hand and slapped the sailor, and half of his face was swollen, and then the general said in a loud voice: "If you don't want to die, change course quickly, otherwise don't blame me for military law!"

Xu Chen, who was watching from the side, saw that this young general was domineering, and couldn't help but be angry, and was about to step forward to find him to theorize, but was stopped by the old Wang Shen.

Wang Shen glanced at him, and then said to the young general with a smile: "My lord, the old man dares to ask, what happened to not allow the ships to pass?"

"What, you want to spy on the military?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shen had privately stuffed him with a piece of silver, and the general immediately saw the money, and his attitude slowed down, and said in a low voice: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, I'm also for your good, otherwise I won't know what's going on when I die." ”

"Is it so serious?" Wang Shen stuffed him with another ingot of silver.

"You are new to the country, don't you know, recently the country of detention is facing a catastrophe, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, so he issued a holy decree to let the passing seafarers temporarily avoid it, so as not to unjustly give their lives. ”

"The old man is a natural curiosity hunter, I wonder if the adults can say it in more detail?"

Not to mention that Wang Shen was curious, even Xu Chen behind him listened with his ears open, and both of them were waiting for the young general to say the following.

Who knew that as soon as the young general opened his mouth, the cargo ship tossed violently, except for Xu Chen and the two of them, plus this general, the other people who had not cultivated suddenly fell on the deck unexpectedly.

"What a heavy demon!" Wang Shen exclaimed instantly, and the general also responded with a pale face: "It's over, the monster is coming out!"

In fact, there was no need for Wang Shen to remind him, Xu Chen had already smelled a strong demonic aura from the humid sea breeze.

Looking at the general's frightened and uneasy gaze, Xu Chen was surprised to find that the sea that was still calm as a mirror just now set off a monstrous wave in the blink of an eye, instantly overturning the stern near the cargo ship, and several sailors on the ship hurriedly abandoned the ship to escape and swam desperately towards them.

It was as if it came so suddenly, and suddenly the sea was strangely calm again, and even the thick demonic aura disappeared without a trace at this moment, as if nothing had happened.

"Help, save people!" the general panicked and hurriedly beckoned everyone to save his men.

Seeing such a strange thing happening, everyone was frightened, and whoever dared to go into the sea to save people was afraid that they would be swallowed by the monster lying dormant in the sea that the young general Shicai said.

In the end, it was Xu Chen who ran to the bow of the ship and threw the iron anchor on the ship into the sea, so that these sailors of the Detention Kingdom climbed onto the cargo ship along the anchor cable.

When these few people came to the deck, there was a loud noise on the bottom of the sea, and Xu Chen saw that a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea in front of the right side of the cargo ship.

A rumbling sound came from the whirlpool, and at this moment it was spinning rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black hole and mercilessly devoured everything around it, and it did not take long for the ship that was knocked over by the huge wave to be torn into several parts and absorbed into it, and it was never seen again.

The captain was immediately frightened, and he hurriedly ordered the sailors to turn the bow of the ship and sail away from this dangerous area quickly, or his ship would fall like the ship.

This side is running for their lives to escape, but the gongs and drums are beating loudly on the side of the navy of the Detention Country, and all the buildings and ships are rushing towards the whirlpool.

Looking at this majestic momentum, Xu Chen also guessed the seven or eight points of the matter, he turned around and asked a rescued soldier of the Detention Kingdom: "You came here to eliminate demons on the orders of the king, right?"

"Exactly. Every thirty years, this abominable monster will emerge from the sea and enter the country, devouring countless people and animals, and we will not suffer from it! Therefore, Your Majesty has made up his mind to gather the strength of the whole country to fight it to the death, and vow to get rid of this scourge for the people. ”

Only then did Xu Chen realize that he had made a mistake and blamed these soldiers, it turned out that they had come to report the news to dissuade a boatload of people from staying away from danger.

Xu Chen asked a little curiously: "What kind of monster is it, it is so powerful that you king can mobilize so many troops to eradicate it?"

"This guy is a sea monster. ”

"Demon mantis?" Xu Chen was stunned, he had never heard of this name.

At this moment, from the depths of the whirlpool, a child's terrible cry came out, and Xu Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "What's going on, could it be that whose child fell into the water?"

At this thought, he couldn't help but be shocked, Xu Chen hurriedly grabbed the eaves of the ship and looked towards the whirlpool, but he didn't see anything, but found that this black hole-like whirlpool had become bigger and rotated faster, and even the cargo ship that had been far away from it was affected, and the hull was constantly swaying.

Just when he was surprised, Wang Shen sneered behind him and said, "Don't look at it, there are no children at all, the cry you hear is actually the cry of the monster, which is specially used to lure the kind and ignorant people to come to the rescue, and then eat him in one bite." ”

Xu Chen didn't have time to reply, because he saw a long rainbow shot out from the depths of the whirlpool, and this brilliant and dazzling light immediately attracted everyone's attention, but soon it dimmed, and the sea surface also shook, and a huge roar came from the bottom of the sea again.

The heavens and the earth suddenly changed color, and the child's cry had turned into a ghostly scream, and a monster head larger than a water tank slowly emerged from the whirlpool.

As soon as the head of this dragon and snake stretched out, two dazzling red lights shot straight into the sky in the two giant lantern-sized eyes, and at the same time, the fishy wind rose everywhere, and the demonic aura came to the sky!
