Chapter 4: Devil's Sea Crisis
Only then did Leo see that the blood-red cave was the piranha's mouth, and the white sharp stone was its sharp fangs.
The piranha's mountain-like head is half blue and half brown, with a pair of large blood-red eyes on the top of its head, and its stout fish-like body swaying with a large fan-shaped tail, stirring up waves of the sea.
It fluttered its fins and emitted bursts of runes, and a moment later, a dozen piranhas poured out from all sides, surrounding the boat.
They kept spitting waves against the boat, causing it to shake violently, and Leo clung to the edge of the boat, still feeling dizzy.
Suddenly, a piranha opened its cave mouth and lunged at the rocking boat, trying to swallow it into its belly.
Seeing the situation, Grandpa Tong hurriedly stabilized his body, and forcefully controlled the flat boat to swoop down and rush into the reef forest.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The piranhas chased after the boats, their massive bodies crashing into the reef forest, causing large chunks of the reef to shatter and fall.
The gravel that had been smashed on the flat boat was all flown out by the transparent curtain.
But the huge body of the piranha school constantly swayed, stirring the sea water, making the flat boat sway in the sea water, and the journey was extremely difficult.
"Look, what's the fiery red liquid spewing out ahead?"
Leo saw many behemoths and fled from them.
"That's the lava under the sea, there's a way, we can lure these piranhas over!"
Grandpa Tong then drove the flat boat and kept dodging in the reef forest, and only after the piranha gathered gathered did he suddenly rush out and rush towards the magma field.
Passing through the hot magma, the small flat boat was unharmed, and the transparent curtain as thin as a cicada's wings had unparalleled defensive power.
A large area of magma fell from above, and the few piranhas who rushed to the front avoided it, covered in the hot lava.
The huge body fell in an instant, and the piranhas that followed closely behind saw this and fled in all directions.
Grandpa Tong then drove the boat up the slope, gradually moving away from the submarine reef forest and mountains.
Leo looked around, and the view was all turbid water, and the visibility outside was only a few meters.
The boat was moving steadily, but suddenly the waves were churning and the wind was blowing.
In the blink of an eye, the sea water spun clockwise with the strong wind, and then formed a funnel-shaped eye.
In the middle of a breath, the boat was swept into the funnel-shaped eye by the waves.
"This is a demonic hurricane, be careful, stabilize your body!"
Grandpa Kiri shouted at Leo.
Leo only felt that the five flavors in his body were churning, his blood was swelling, and he was dizzy.
He hurriedly used his spiritual power, and pressed it to every acupuncture point and meridian, and his blood veins gradually contracted, and Leo felt a slight improvement.
But the eye of the funnel rises higher and higher, but the flat boat keeps falling, the rotation speed is getting faster and faster, and the space is getting smaller and smaller.
Soon, the boat was rattled and seemed to be about to shatter at any moment.
Grandpa Tong had to put a pair of palms against the top of the transparent boundary curtain, gather the spiritual power of his whole body in the palm of his hand, and input it into the boundary curtain.
After a while, Leo saw a pair of transparent wings slowly deriving from the boundary curtain, and the wings dragged the flat boat that was spinning at high speed with difficulty, slowly rising.
After a long time, the boat finally rose to the top of the eye of the funnel, but Leo found that the sea at the top of the eye had been sealed by thousands of years of ice.
This thousand-year-old ice stretches for thousands of miles, boundless, and the destructive power of the eye of the funnel is so powerful, but it can't destroy the ice in the slightest.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Soon, swept by the demonic hurricane, the boat swayed again and fell towards the bottom of the eye of the funnel.
In a dilemma, Bian Zhou was trapped in the eye of the funnel and was in danger.
"Can't you get out after all?"
Leo's immature little face turned pale for a while, and he sighed silently in his heart.
At this critical moment, Grandpa Tong held on and once again entered the spiritual power into the realm curtain.
This time, he turned to retreat his transparent wings to the bottom of the curtain, and moved up inch by inch with the flat boat.
After a long time, the boat finally returned to the top of the eye of the funnel.
But Grandpa Tong did not stop, but continued to inject spiritual power, forcing the transparent boundary curtain above the flat boat to sink into the thousand-year-old ice.
As time passed, Leo saw a large oval-shaped piece of ice, slowly entering the transparent curtain, within reach.
Grandpa Kiri's free right hand, holding a sharp dagger, cut along the junction between the ice and the curtain.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, a piece of oval-shaped ice was cut off by Grandpa Tong and stored in the space of the dagger Sumeru.
Then, Grandpa Tong quickly drove the flat boat and rushed out of the oval ice hole.
At this point, before he escaped, Leo and Grandpa Tong gasped.
Leo and Grandpa Kiri's rest for a while, and then continued on their way, the boat moving slowly on the boundless ice.
Goose feathers and snow drifted over the ice, and the cold wind made a hunting sound.
"Grandpa Tong, the climate here is very different from the Soul Broken Mountain Range, what kind of place is this?"
Leo looked at the ice and snow world outside the realm curtain and couldn't help asking.
"This is the most special place in the Devil's Sea, called 'Cold Iceland', the island is covered with snow all year round, and it is extremely cold, and there are few living creatures. ”
"So it's safer for us to cross this island than to be in the sea!"
Grandpa Kiri explained.
Leo and Grandpa Kiri's journey through the snow and ice for days before finally entering a sea area.
The sea was covered in smoke, and there was no sound at all.
The only thing Leo could hear was the pounding of his own heartbeat, a suffocating sensation that came from the bottom of his heart.
Grandpa Tong had already driven the flat boat and circled many times in the fog, as if he was lost.
In this kind of place, let alone discerning the direction, you can't even see what is around you, and there seems to be nothing here except smoke.
"Grandpa Tong, we can't get out, can we?"
Leo looked at Grandpa Tong dejectedly, his eyes a little dull.
How many hardships have you encountered along the way, and now you finally get out, but you have to be trapped alive here?
Parents and brothers, are they still alive?
Leo didn't even dare to think about it anymore, his mind was in a mess, like he had experienced a nightmare, and his nerves became numb.
Leo didn't realize it at all, even though he had been around here for nearly two hours, Grandpa Tong's face was always the same.
"Child, grandpa knows it, don't worry, we will definitely leave safely!"
Grandpa Tong understood Leo's mood and comforted.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Grandpa Tong had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
The child has lived on a secluded mountain top since birth, growing up under the care of his family.
Even if he often hunts demon beasts in the Soul Broken Mountain Range, compared to the deceitful and bloody rain of the outside world, the life in the Soul Broken Mountain Range can be regarded as a blessed land.
This sudden turn of events was a big blow to Leo, but compared to the path he was about to walk, it was only the beginning.
The sky was getting darker, and everything around me was even more hazy and terrifying.
Grandpa Tong parked the boat in a harbor, and then dived the boat again, leaving only the transparent curtain outside, blending in with the hazy night.
"Let's spend the night here tonight and wait until dawn before we leave. ”
Grandpa Kiri, patted Leo on the shoulder and said.
Leo nodded slightly, looking at Grandpa Kiri's calm appearance, his mood was slightly better.
In Leo's impression, Grandpa Kiri's grandfather is an optimistic and open-minded old urchin who often makes everyone laugh.
It was as if no amount of suffering could leave a scratch on his heart, sometimes it was deep and terrifying, and sometimes it was anxious like a child.
Grandpa Tong is also very mysterious, I remember once going to the mountains with my brother to practice, and met a powerful demon beast on the way.
Just as they were about to be killed by the demon beast, Grandpa Tong suddenly appeared and rescued them.
In order to protect the Leo brothers, Grandpa Kiri's shoulder was scratched by a demon beast, but strangely, after a while, Grandpa Kiri's injured place was restored to its original state.
Grandpa Tong often makes some strange things, and his father Rett does not doubt it, but respects and trusts him very much.
Grandpa Tong is very good to Leo, in addition to teaching him cultivation and outside knowledge, he often protects him every step of the way.
Leo has never met his biological grandfather, and Grandpa Tong's meticulous care makes up for this shortcoming.
Over time, he has regarded Grandpa Tong as his biological grandfather, and he has become infinitely dependent.
For some reason, Leo always felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable connection between himself and Grandpa Tong.
Grandpa Tong can always know what he thinks in his heart, and he can always find him in time, with Grandpa Tong by his side, he feels down-to-earth.
As the night gradually enveloped the sea, and the surroundings became pitch black, Leo and Grandpa Kiri stayed quietly in the flat boat and rested for a while.
Suddenly, a terrible roar of flying beasts swept through the lonely night, and the surroundings suddenly began to stir......
