It hurts...

The cold sea water soaked through his clothes in an instant, and climbed directly onto Roxi's skin, and the biting cold stimulated every cell, making him shiver unconsciously.

Subconsciously opened his mouth, and the seawater immediately poured into his lungs, choking him so much that he couldn't breathe, he hurriedly raised his hands to grab his neck, and his legs unconsciously swayed in the water.

Calm, calm! gills of the deep sea!

At the critical moment, Luo Xi hurriedly called out twice deeply in his heart, let himself gradually calm down, endured his itchy throat and uncomfortable lungs, closed his eyes, held his breath, relaxed his torso, and let his body slowly fall to the bottom of the sea.

This process lasted for more than ten seconds, and gradually, the gills attached to the upper jaw began to expand outward and then contract inward, and the tiny gill filaments slowly fanned.

The water in the lungs was eliminated from the body, and the comfortable oxygen allowed Roch to breathe again, and after the active agent came up, the body gradually regained its warmth, and Rohi felt strong for the first time in this body.

Call...

Roshi let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, he opened his eyes, let them get used to the sourness, and then waved his hands up and down, his outstretched legs swinging back and forth, stopping the tendency of his body to sink, and then looked up at the sparkling top.

The Voyager had stopped by this time, but it wasn't long before the massive bottom of the ship began to move away again.

As he expected, a slave destined for death was not worth the time of wizards.

It wasn't until the Voyager had completely disappeared into the distance that Roshi withdrew his gaze and looked around.

Although it was only a few minutes before he jumped into the sea, it had sunk several hundred meters, and the sunlight shining into the sea had gradually faded, and his vision looked a little dim.

Roch swam a little further to make the light clearer, and then made a downward direction.

From the moment he left the Black Tower, he carefully observed the direction in which the Voyager was traveling, and made another confirmation before jumping into the sea, at this time they should be about 2,000 nautical miles east of the Yueqin coast of the Dragon Wing Continent, and about 200 nautical miles northwest from here are the Romat Islands, which are also the closest land.

200 nautical miles...

Roshi once saw on television that the world's longest non-stop swim was about 60 nautical miles in 24 hours, in other words, at least three days.

Roshi didn't know if he could break the record, but he didn't have a choice, not to mention that the current situation was far better than he expected to swim straight from the Black Tower to the shoreline.

Pray.

Thinking silently, he adjusted his posture and began to swim northwest.

Maybe the hope of success was close at hand, or maybe it was because the active potion had allowed him to regain his long-lost youth and strength, and Roshi's anxiety had been relieved a little at this time, and it was rare to be in the mood to observe the magnificent sea scenery around him.

Schools of fish swam past with their tails swinging, the sun shining on the silver scales, a few jellyfish swinging their tentacles and slowly rising up, and the transparent mother umbrella contracted and retracted with the swing of the tentacles.

While walking through a basin full of coral, Roshi ran into trouble, and the corner of his clothes was hooked by a red coral, and although the back was torn open, the back of his hand was accidentally scratched out, and blood spilled out.

After swimming past this multicolored coral patch, there is a long ravine, and the black peaks grow up diagonally to the left and right, and here Roch has a big problem - sharks.

It looks terrifying, about five meters long, black skin, white belly, and a slightly open mouth with sharp fangs, Roshi has seen in books, this is a tiger shark, a very ferocious carnivorous underwater creature.

Roshi hurriedly hid in a small cave next to him.

It's just that the shark obviously smelled blood, and Roshi saw its nostrils twitch a few times, slowed down, and swung its tail to look for it not far away.

Luo Xi frowned, one hand had already pressed the button on his chest, before leaving the Black Tower, he had made full preparations, including the means of self-defense to deal with such an unexpected situation, just fighting meant that he might get hurt, and now he really didn't want to waste his extra energy here.

Anyway, things soon took a turn for the better.

An invisible wave suddenly set off in the sea, and Roshi clearly saw the body of the shark not far away suddenly roll violently a few times, and then this force rushed into the cave, slapped on Roshi's body, and pressed him heavily against the cave wall.

Then, a huge black shadow swam up from the dark bottom of the sea, it was a huge blue whale, to Rohi's surprise, this whale was more than 100 meters long, with two long baleen and a wrinkled white belly, and the shark more than five meters long looked like a toy in front of it, and its fins seemed to tremble with every swing of the rocks in the sea.

In front of this behemoth, the panicked shark no longer had the intention of hunting, and quickly swung its fins and fanned its tail, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of this invisible wave, and swam away without looking back.

Call!

It wasn't until the whale had passed for more than ten minutes that the sea regained its calm, and Roshi let out a long sigh of relief, although the blue whale just now was not hostile to him, but the sense of oppression brought by that powerful force was really terrifying.

Then, he thought again, I heard that the powerful blue whale is no different from the small fish in the stream in front of wizards, and some wizards often use their baleen to make witchcraft tools, I don't know if it's true...

The wizards of the Black Tower rarely make a move, and even if they cast witchcraft, they can't use the magic of combat, after all, the Black Tower has no enemies on this continent, and the original owner of this body naturally has no memory of this regard, and most of Roxi's knowledge of this comes from the wizard's bookstore.

Shaking his head, Roshi left the cave, and now was not the time to think about it.

With this experience, Roshi slowed down a bit to be vigilant on the rest of his journey, and as the frequency of reconnaissance increased, he was always able to spot danger in advance and make timely evasions.

It's just that this unavoidable right choice inevitably brought some negative effects, and these negative effects were fatal to him at this time-

He ran out of time.

Yes.

It had been three days since he jumped into the sea, and the limit of the active potion could only last four days, and late last night, he clearly felt that the strength in his body had begun to drain, and the joints seemed to have begun to return to their decaying state.

By the time the sun rose today, Roshi had already clearly felt a chill in his body, and by tomorrow morning at the latest, the active potion would be completely ineffective.

Without the active potion, even if Roshi's vitality could last for a few more days, the icy sea water alone would freeze him to death here.

Roshi was anxious.

It wasn't a good idea to continue to let his guard down in exchange for speed, the tiger shark wasn't the only danger in the sea, and even if he increased his speed, he still couldn't be sure when he would reach the shore.

At this moment, several oval-shaped, flattened creatures swam in the distance, with hardshells that looked very thick, but moved as quickly as sharp arrows—

Sea turtle.

And it's also a red-skinned blast turtle.

Roshi rejoices!

Roshi, a three-meter-long turtle with irregular lumpy red spots on its shell, had read about its habits in wizards' books.

They live only in offshore areas and live on the seafloor all year round, standing still and feeding on plankton.

It takes about seven days or so for them to emerge from their shells and swim up to the shore to soak up oxygen for about two hours before returning to the bottom of the ocean.

Roshi's excitement was partly because the direction in which the red-skinned blast turtles swam proved that they were heading to the shore at this time, and the other reason was that the red-skinned blast turtles were the fastest underwater creatures in the offshore waters, and no hunter in the sea could catch up with them.

Roshi hurriedly pressed himself against the mountain wall, holding his breath, and when a red-skinned arrow turtle swam past him, he decisively kicked the mountain wall hard, and then grabbed the hard shell of the red-skinned arrow turtle.

No hunter in the offshore area will use this peculiar hunting method, and the red-skinned arrow turtle that was caught was obviously frightened, and it subconsciously quickly retracted its limbs and head back into the turtle shell, and then sank to the bottom of the sea, and the turtle shell hit the reef on the bottom of the sea, and there was a snapping sound.

After that, the red-skinned arrow turtle remained motionless, as if it had turned into a stone, and Roshi, who was buckled on it, also did not move, and slowed his heartbeat and breathing and waited quietly.

This wait was a whole few hours, and Roshi didn't move a moment during this process, and now he had no choice but to bet that the red-skinned Arrow Turtle would not wait to die with him.

Finally.

When Roshi felt his hands and feet start to stiffen a little, the red-skinned arrow turtle finally began to move.

I don't know if it felt that Roshi on his back was not hostile, or if there was not much oxygen left in his body, the red-skinned arrow turtle stretched out its head and limbs again, snapped on the ground a few times and then rushed upward.

Roshi reckoned that it should not have much oxygen left, because the red-skinned arrow turtle swimming again was obviously anxious, its limbs swinging much more often than when it was first seen, and it seemed to be heading in a different direction than the previous group of turtles had left, and it seemed to have re-chosen an easier destination.

But Roshi didn't bother to think so much at this time.

After sunset today, the speed of the decline in the strength of his body increased suddenly, and by the time the surroundings fell into complete darkness, Roshi had already returned to his previous old state-

The active agent is completely ineffective.

Roshi's heart sank.

The biting cold came up again, like a steel knife cutting through his flesh and skin, and like a steel needle piercing every cell of him, it hurt him to death.

Luo Xi could only hold on, clinging to the front edge of the turtle shell, fortunately his body had already stiffened under this cold sea, otherwise he really didn't know if he could still grasp the turtle shell in his current state.

As the minutes passed, the pain in Roshi's body gradually disappeared, but this was not good news, because it was not the pain that disappeared but the physical perception.

The eyelids were unprecedentedly heavy, the scene in front of him was completely blurred, and Roshi wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep like this several times, but every time this time came, he would quickly remind himself that he was only a little, just a little, and he couldn't sleep.

In order to stay awake, he had to use all his strength to bite the skin of his mouth with his teeth, but this stinging pain soon disappeared into the icy waters with the spilled blood, and his vitality had reached the point of exhaustion.

Are you going to die?

I'm really unwilling! After so much effort in front of me, it's only a little bit close, only a little bit behind!

A silent cry came from the bottom of Roshi's heart!

"Whoa!" At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in my ears.

This voice shook Luo Xi, who was already extremely depressed, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, there was no longer a sour feeling on his eyeballs, and he subconsciously inhaled it with his nostrils, and the long-lost air immediately poured in.

Finally!

Land has arrived!

Roshi didn't think about where this was, and when the turtle stopped moving, he hurriedly focused his mind on the button on his chest, and a faint voice pronounced a syllable.

"Huh... Root... S..."

The four small holes in the middle of the round button suddenly began to rotate clockwise, forming a whirlpool, and then a glass bottle was squeezed out and landed on the turtle shell.

At this time, he no longer had the slightest strength in his body, and even he didn't know what he relied on to raise his chin and press down on the button on the mouth of the glass bottle.

"Click!"

With a click, the mouth of the glass bottle opened, and the liquid inside flowed out, and there was an egg-sized, beating scarlet heart that flowed out along with it.

And at this moment, his old heavy eyelids slowly closed...
