"Yes, I've looked at it carefully, and if we don't see the passing ships, we won't be able to find a way out in less than a year and a half. During this period of time here, it is better to find a way out while cultivating. Gu Chen said.

Yan Ruyi looked carefully at the boundless sea, if there were no ships passing by, he really couldn't leave from here. That's fine, there is a person who cultivates thunder and lightning by his side, and he takes the opportunity to practice thunder and lightning, and maybe he will have a big harvest.

In this way, the two began to practice penance day and night.

Three months later. Gu Chen's Thunder Channeling Skill had already cultivated to the third level realm, and he dared to directly lead the Heavenly Thunder into his body. And Yan Ruyi himself is a thunder attribute physique, and he actually cultivated the thunder and lightning technique to the third level like Gu Chen. It is also possible to directly lead the heavenly thunder into the body without being killed by the heavenly thunder.

"Thank you Brother Ugly for your guidance and Mu Jian's help, otherwise I'm afraid it will take at least three years for me to cultivate to this level before I dare to draw heavenly thunder into my body. Yan Ruyi said excitedly.

"Your thunder attribute physique has helped you a lot. Gu Chen said, "The wooden sword only initially played the role of guiding the thunder and lightning to make you adapt, and it was fundamentally your own physique and cultivation. ”

Yan Ruyi was happy in her heart, in the past three months, she and Gu Chen had almost nothing to talk about, except for their own family, the rest of them talked very happily. It's like a very good friend.

"We are friends in life and death. Ugly brother, do you really think it is still possible for us to go out?" Yan Ruyi looked at the tumbling black-brown water, "I haven't seen a ship pass by in three months, and I doubt that anyone will pass by here." ”

Gu Chen also knew very well that this underground sea was emerging from the depths of the earth, who would drive a boat through the underground sea if he was fine? He also felt that no one would pass by. He felt that the aura of heaven and earth on this small stone mound was very strong, and now his cultivation had made great progress, and it must have something to do with it.

Therefore, he was not in too much of a hurry to leave, he wanted to cultivate more here with the help of the aura of heaven and earth, and it was best to break through to the innate realm and then find a way to leave. Because of the rain and Goofy's tremendous progress, his self-hatred has never gone away.

Two months passed. Yan Ruyi's thunder and lightning technique has gradually made new progress, her thunder attribute physique, plus her cultivation is already in the third-level realm of the Innate Martial Emperor, as long as she has the right cultivation method, the progress is very fast. It is gradually a lot higher than Gu Chen's thunder and lightning technique.

"Sure enough, it's the thunder attribute physique plus the innate realm cultivation, I can't compare. Gu Chen sighed secretly in his heart, all the people around him who were about the same age as him had entered the innate realm one by one, but he was still stagnant the day after tomorrow.

This night, Gu Chen began to practice thunder and lightning in his sleep. That Yan Ruyi is a girl, who started to practice thunder and lightning after him, and under his guidance, she has actually been more accomplished than him in a few months, which makes Gu Chen's face a little unbearable.

Gu Chen cultivated during the day and in his dreams at night, and finally closely followed Yan Ruyi's cultivation footsteps. Yan Ruyi saw Gu Chen's struggle, and said, "Originally, I thought you were a thunder attribute physique, but now it seems that you are not." Don't worry too much about this, I'm an innate realm, you have to take your time step by step. ”

Gu Chen also knew that if he wanted to be fast, he would not be able to reach it, so he was afraid that if he went all the way, he would not be able to lay a solid foundation, and there would be problems in the future. After hearing Yan Ruyi's words, he no longer forcibly chased Yan Ruyi's cultivation speed.

Five months later, Yan Ruyi's thunder and lightning technique had far surpassed the point where Gu Chen didn't have the confidence to catch up. Gu Chen also gave up catching up early, and began to expand the foundation wholeheartedly, and he already felt that the peak realm of the Martial King of the Acquired Tomorrow had arrived, but no matter how hard he tried, he was always blocked here, and he could not cross over to the innate realm one step further.

In addition to practicing, the two caught fish together, cooked together, played in the forest together, and guessed the mysteries in the stone plate chess pieces together. Gu Chen sometimes suddenly felt that it was good to live with a loved one for the rest of his life, why did he have to face so many troubles in the world.

It was the first time that Yan Ruyi had lived alone with an adult man for so long, and the ugly face of the ugly brother had long been commonplace, but he was slowly moved by the careful care and help of the ugly brother for several months. I think that if my father doesn't dislike it, except that the realm is lower and his qualifications are worse, this ugly brother is not bad.

"I can't delay here any longer, and I don't know how the master is doing over there, Yao'er is okay. Gu Chen had been here for more than a year, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about the people outside.

I had dinner in the evening, and of course I ate grilled fish. It is estimated that the two of them will vomit when they go out to see the fish. Gu Chen said to Yan Ruyi: "Let's find a way to get out of here, I don't think it's possible for a ship to pass by here." ”

Yan Ruyi looked into the depths of the sea: "You said that this is the underground sea, how can we get out?" I don't know how long it will take to find the shore when we go into the water, what if we can't find us, what if we are exhausted?"

Gu Chen looked at Yan Ruyi and felt that she had always been smart how could she ask such a stupid question. Yan Ruyi lowered her head and didn't say anything more, just waiting for Gu Chen's answer.

"You mean you want to stay here for a long time?" asked Gu Chen.

"I just think it's so quiet here, and the aura of heaven and earth is very good, which can help us concentrate on practice. ”

Yan Ruyi's words are true, and Gu Chen also deeply agrees with this.

But both of them have their own things to do, and they both know that it's unrealistic to want to stay here forever. Now that they had decided to leave, the two of them began to look for planks on the rocky mound that could be used as boats, intending to make a simple raft and leave here.

Three days later, the two of them stood on top of the finished raft and looked back at the small mound, and they were both a little nostalgic.

"Ugly brother, do you think we will come here again in the future?" Yan Ruyi said.

"If we had the chance, I think we would have come here again. It's a great place to practice. Gu Chen said.

"Well, when we're done, let's come here again to cultivate, okay?"

Gu Chen looked at Yan Ruyi and nodded, he had been eating and living with this girl for several months, and there was an indescribable affection between the two of them that had already taken root in their hearts.

The two paddled the raft and set off slowly.

When Gu Chen looked at the small mound for the last time, he suddenly found that the small mound had disappeared for some time. Gu Chen was shocked in his heart.

Yan Ruyi also found an abnormality: "Could it be sinking, right? Fortunately, we left in time." ”

Gu Chen said: "We have lived here for so long, if we don't leave, this mound will not sink, as soon as we leave today, it will sink, there must be some secret in this." I'll come back when I have time to find out. ”

"Give it a name, and we'll come back to it in the future. Yan Ruyi said.

"Let's call it Chessboard Island, there is a game of chess that has not been played on it, and I think the name is perfect for it. Gu Chen said.

"Chessboard Island, good name. Yan Ruyi said, "When you look for it later, you will use this chessboard as a mark, it will definitely be easy to find." ”
