After leaving Penglai Island, the PEACE FORTUNE gradually sailed deeper into the waters.

This area has always been uninhabited and full of danger and opportunity.

There are small islands where precious medicinal herbs grow, there are the Jiaoren tribes who say that tears turn into pearls, there are treasures left behind by ancient practitioners, and there are also terrifying waves, strange undercurrents and fierce sea monsters.

The owner of the "Ping An Fugui" is named Lu Yongsi, a monk of the Fourth Realm. He was short and stocky, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders, unkempt, greasy, as if he hadn't been washed in years.

From the discussion of the crew, Gu Xu learned that the owner of the ship was a well-known adventurer in the north. When he was young, he was caught in a storm on a voyage and stranded on a deserted island, but he was blessed by a fortune and found a mysterious relic on the island, which was inherited by a mysterious powerhouse thousands of years ago.

After that, Lu Yongsi became obsessed with adventure and this feeling of wealth and danger.

He recruited a group of people, bought a ship, and used the formation to transform the ship, so that it had a certain degree of defensive ability, which could resist the attacks of wind and waves and demon beasts.

Most of the time, the "Ping An Fugui" followed the guidance of the map and went to the "fairy islands in the sea" such as "Yingzhou", "Abbot", "Daiyu", and "Fanghu" to find rare medicinal herbs, and then brought them back to the land to sell at a high price.

"My lord, did you hear that the destination of your trip is the end of the East China Sea?"

One day at lunch, the ship's owner, Lu Yongsi, asked Gu Xu curiously.

Because Gu Xu was personally introduced to the ship by the Great Yan Lord, everyone on the ship was respectful and polite when talking to him, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"That's right." Gu Xu nodded.

Lu Yongsi's eyes immediately widened, and he was amazed.

He said that he couldn't believe that in this world, there were people who were more daring than him - although he called himself an adventurer, he never dared to enter the strange fog of the Far East Sea.

"I've heard from legends that behind that fog there is a majestic waterfall," Lu Yongsi said, "and the sea gathers there, falling from a cliff into the abyss.

"It is said that if you jump off the waterfall, you will have a chance to travel back in time and the past, or to the future......

"That's where I'm going." Gu Xu said in a calm tone.

Lu Yongsi stopped talking, and made a gesture to him that sailors usually use, which probably means "".

At this moment, the merchant ship shook violently without warning.

The cutlery on the table slid to the floor with a clatter.

The people in the room had to hold on to the wall to barely hold their bodies.

"The storm is coming." Someone exclaimed.

Since this ship had been equipped with a formation to mitigate shaking, the storm outside was more intense than they perceived.

Gu Xu took out a "Wind Talisman", pasted it on his body, and then walked smoothly to the deck of the merchant ship.

He remembers that a few minutes ago, the sea was still clear.

But at this moment, the field of vision is gray, and it is impossible to distinguish where is the sky and where is the sea.

The waves rushed like a hill, and the sky cracked with a roar.

The ship on the crest of the wave seemed to have become the toy of the god of the sea, tossed high and then fell heavily.

"It's a hooked snake."

Gu Xu stared at the dark sea and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's a hooked snake!"

Not far away, the owner of the boat, Lu Yongsi, clung to the railing, with a solemn look on his face.

He had heard from the casual chatter of the crew that the "Hooked Snake" was a snake-like monster that was dozens of feet long, fierce and aggressive, and highly poisonous.

It has a forked tail and a hook that can drag passing ships and shore creatures into the sea to hunt for food.

People who often sail on the seas go to the temple every time before setting out and pray to the gods for their protection from encountering this terrible monster.

Lu Yongsi used to have good luck and never been here

Encounter too powerful youkai at sea.

Friends often refer to him as "the man of great fortune."

Unexpectedly, this time, he actually bumped into the "Hooked Snake" whose strength was close to the level of "Fierce God".

"Could it be that my good luck has been spent?" He thought to himself anxiously.

"Bang!"

Another deafening bang.

The hull of the ship shook a few times as if it had been suddenly hit by a heavy object, and then a strong pull came from the bottom of the ship, as if it was about to drag it into the deep sea.

"Quick! Hurry up!"

Lu Yongsi finally came to her senses, and jumped onto the mast with her skills, directing the panicked crew.

A moment later, a golden shroud of light appeared around the "Peace and Wealth".

Outside the mask, the waves are choppy; Inside the mask, the wind is calm.

But the mask only existed for less than five seconds.

Then it flickered a few times and vanished.

"That damn beast broke the defensive formation so quickly!" Lu Yongsi scolded in his heart.

Seeing that the ship was about to sink into the sea, he waved his hand, summoned his natal sword, and prepared to use all his cards to fight the hooked snake to the death.

In an instant, however, a howl of pain was heard from underwater.

The pull on the merchant ship suddenly disappeared.

A giant sea monster pokes its head out of the water.

It's just too big. No one can see it in its entirety. From afar, it looks like islands on the surface of the sea.

As soon as it opens its mouth, the whole ship will be swallowed by it along the current.

But strangely, the way it looked at the ship, there was a strong sense of fear.

At this time, Lu Yongsi noticed that the mysterious guest wearing a black mask had quietly floated into the air, holding a strange semi-circular metal object in his hand, looking at the "hooked snake" from a distance.

I saw him raise his right hand slightly.

Countless gray-black, cobweb-like thin lines suddenly appeared in the air.

These thin lines seem to be sharper than a knife that sharpens iron like clay.

The moment it touched the Hooked Snake, the seemingly indestructible scales of the Hooked Snake were cut open, and blood gushed out of it, staining the entire sea red.

"It's a spatial rift!" Lu Yongsi was dumbfounded, and muttered in his heart, "Who is he?"

In his perception, this mysterious guest was just a monk of the Fourth Realm, just like him.

And cutting space is usually a skill that only the cultivators of the seventh realm have.

Is this man hiding his strength?

Or do you have some kind of means that ordinary people can't imagine?

"No wonder the king thinks so highly of him," he thought, "this man is either an incognito saint or a demon who has not been seen in a thousand years."

A few seconds later, the "Hooked Snake" had been cut into countless pieces by Gu Xu with a spatial crack.

The sea then returned to calm.

Gu Xu floated steadily on the deck and smiled at Lu Yongsi: "The obstacles have been removed, let's move on!"

PS: Subsequent updates should all be at 8:00 every night.
