Chapter 289

On the dark surface of the sea, the two ships were like arrows leaving the bowstring, crashing into each other.

The Xu Jiao King had his reasons for doing so. The ships specially made by the Southern Sea Serpent Palace were all covered with iron plates, and the planks on the sides of the ships were extremely thick. He had inspected the ships of the Jingyue City Navy, and they were much worse than the Southern Sea Serpent Palace. Their own ships and the public's ships could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The navy was shocked when they saw the ships coming straight at them. However, they were sailing with the wind, so how could they stop?

Moreover, if they let them escape, they would not be able to bear the responsibility. Therefore, they could only grit their teeth and face them head-on.

As they got closer, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the navy's formation. Then, the fire flew towards the ships. It turned out that it was the navy's fire arrows. Now that the ships were within the range of the crossbows, it was not an attack that they had prepared beforehand.

However, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the Xu Jiao King. He was calmly and expressionlessly looking at the fire arrows flying towards them. He did not seem worried at all.

As expected, the fire arrows whizzed over. Some of them were blown askew by the wind, some fell into the sea, and a small portion of them hit the giant boat. The people on the platform were all martial artists, so they naturally would not be injured by the rain of arrows. As for the burning fire arrows, they were extinguished by the torrential rain the moment they hit the giant boat. Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood.

The Xu Jiao King laughed. "As expected, the one leading the troops is not the commander of the navy. If it were them, they would not fire such useless fire arrows on a rainy night like this."

The commander of the navy saw that the fire arrows were ineffective, so he stopped firing. However, the rain of arrows still came in waves. The sailors of the Southern Sea Serpent Palace also started firing arrows when they got closer. However, the wind was against them, so the effect was not obvious. Many of the arrows fell into the sea.

The two ships were already very close. Even though the navy's ships had already slowed down and even turned around slightly, they couldn't stop the Southern Sea Serpent Palace's determination to crash into them. Finally, under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, there was a loud bang as the two ships collided. The waves splashed high into the air. Moreover, because the Southern Sea's ships had come prepared, the angle and position were all carefully calculated. When the ship's bow hit the side of the navy's ship, a large hole was immediately gouged out.

The moment the two ships collided, the huge inertia caused everyone to lose their footing. Fortunately, the sailors and navy of the two ships were all veterans with rich experience. They immediately pulled, leaned, and pushed to stabilize their bodies. On the high platform, everyone circulated their energy to their legs and stood steadily, not moving at all.

Zhang Xiaohua was the same. When the huge inertia came, she immediately mobilized her true qi and sent it into the meridians in her legs to stabilize herself.

However, just as she thought of this, her vision suddenly turned black and she fell asleep!

In an instant, everyone on the two ships, regardless of whether they were sailors, soldiers, or people of the pugilistic world, stood steadily. Only a slightly thin figure floated up with the inertia of the ship and headed straight for the navy's ship. Qin Shiyue saw this and immediately realized that it was midnight. When he saw the navy chasing after him, he fled and fought back. He had forgotten about Zhang Xiaohua. He was probably so nervous that he forgot about it.

Qin Shiyue hurriedly took a few steps forward and wanted to use her lightness skill to chase after him, but the inertia was too strong. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaohua floated past the ship. At this time, it was too late to save her. Qin Shiyue hurriedly shouted at the Xu Jiao King, "Xu Jiao King, quickly capture Ren Xiaoyao and bring him back to me."

When the Xu Jiao King was about to give another order, the figure had already arrived above the navy's ship. At this time, when the navy saw a black figure approaching, they thought that it was a martial arts master from the South Sea who came to challenge them. However, at this time, everyone had not yet stabilized their footing. Even if they wanted to resist or shoot arrows, it was too late. They could only hold the handles of their swords and wait for the figure to land on the deck. Then, they would swarm over and kill him.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua's body was about to fall, a gust of wind blew. Zhang Xiaohua's body paused for a moment before it was blown to the side of the ship. When the wind stopped, Zhang Xiaohua's body floated to the surface of the sea and sank into the sea.

The sea was windy and the waves were strong, but he didn't hear any 'plop', nor did he see any splashes. The little flower just fell into the darkness and disappeared.

The Xu Jiao King quickly ordered a few people to jump into the sea to search for her. The others watched this strange scene and forgot what they were supposed to do next. After a while, they heard a sailor from the South Sea yell, "Charge! Kill!" He took the lead and jumped onto the navy's ship. Only then did the group of people come to their senses and shouted to fight.

Zhang Xiaohua's thin body was blown high into the air by the wind. She floated diagonally and fell into the sea. Her body first sank into the sea and was pushed far away by the waves. When she floated up again, she was already far away from the ship. Although the sailors who jumped down to search for her were good at swimming, they didn't dare to stray too far from the ship in such stormy weather. How could they find her after searching carefully nearby?

Zhang Xiaohua's body was thin and weak. She was light to begin with. When she floated on the water, she was blown forward by the strong wind along with the broken planks that fell from the collision with the ship.

After an unknown period of time, the rain became lighter and the wind became weaker. The sounds of fighting could no longer be heard. Zhang Xiaohua's body gradually came to a stop. However, at this moment, the planks floating quietly beside her seemed to have fallen into a turbulent river. They gradually accelerated and floated in a certain direction. They were a few times faster than when the wind was blowing. Zhang Xiaohua's body followed them and floated into the depths of the sea.

This was an undercurrent that wasn't very common in the sea.

The next day, just after the storm, there were still dark clouds. When the morning sun peeked out, it dyed the edges of the dark clouds with an orange color.

Zhang Xiaohua opened his eyes. After looking for a long time, he understood his situation. As he was in the middle of a pile of wood, he easily climbed on a thick and long branch to prevent himself from sinking into the sea. When he looked around again, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. This vast sea was a vast expanse of water. He couldn't distinguish between north, south, east, and west. What should he do?

However, fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua was still in the undercurrent. This undercurrent carried Zhang Xiaohua forward and gave him endless hope. If he stopped in this vast sea and didn't move, then Zhang Xiaohua would have the heart to die. He had a good opportunity to escape. Did he come to the sea to take a bath?

Of course, this bathtub was quite big.

In the undercurrent, it seemed that the speed was very slow. In fact, it was as fast as a galloping horse. But because there was no reference, it couldn't be perceived. Zhang Xiaohua was bored. He didn't know how long this boring and peaceful journey would be. He took out the two Primordial Stones from his arms and absorbed the Primordial Qi.

It was good to praise Zhang Xiaohua. As long as he had some spare time, he would start to cultivate. No matter how long it was, he always felt that as long as he worked hard, he would gain something.

This might be the foundation for him to go higher and higher in the future.

A day passed quickly. This kind of lonely drifting was a little uncomfortable for Zhang Xiaohua. But the most uncomfortable thing was that he was thirsty.

After a rainy night, the sun in the sky was very hot. Although Zhang Xiaohua was not too afraid of the cold and heat, but after being exposed to the sun for a whole day, his lips were dry and cracked. Zhang Xiaohua tried to drink a mouthful of seawater, but the salty and fishy taste made him vomit immediately. If he drank this water, his stomach would feel uncomfortable.

Although he also didn't eat for a day, Zhang Xiaohua didn't feel hungry. It was just a habitual discomfort of not eating when it was time to eat.

Night soon fell. Zhang Xiaohua had a plan this time. He tied himself with the wood with his clothes early to avoid falling into the sea. Then, he looked at the two Primordial Stones in his hand and hesitated. He knew that when he was asleep, he could cultivate. In this vast sea, if he could improve his Primordial Qi a little, he might have a little more chance of survival. But if he held it in his hand and fell asleep and fell into the sea, wouldn't that be a loss?

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua still decided not to put it away. In the past, when he meditated to refine his Primordial Qi, it didn't fall from his hand. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem if he paid more attention.

So, Zhang Xiaohua held the Primordial Stones in his hand, while absorbing the Primordial Qi, he fell asleep.

Tonight, the sea was exceptionally calm. The bright moonlight scattered on the surface of the sea. Zhang Xiaohua and the wood next to him were in the undercurrent. Under the moonlight, they moved forward quickly.

Suddenly, in the calm sea, the leisurely fish scattered as if they had seen a powerful natural enemy. Not long after, a transparent jellyfish swam from a distance. This jellyfish was not the size of an ordinary jellyfish. It was actually ten times the size of an ordinary jellyfish. The jellyfish was passing by by, but when it swam past Zhang Xiaohua, it suddenly stopped. It seemed to hesitate for a moment, and immediately chased after Zhang Xiaohua.

Although the undercurrent was fast, the jellyfish was faster. In a moment, it caught up with Zhang Xiaohua. Without hesitation, it immediately released its tentacles and was about to wrap around Zhang Xiaohua's hand. But before its tentacles got close, it retracted. This jellyfish was an absolute tyrant in the sea. This kind of creature could survive for so long, naturally it had the ability to communicate with spirits. Although it coveted the Primordial Stones in Zhang Xiaohua's hand and was attracted by the fluctuation of the Primordial Qi, the jellyfish could feel the colorless starlight outside Zhang Xiaohua's body. Perhaps it couldn't be seen by human eyes, but the jellyfish could feel it clearly.

Before its tentacles reached over, it felt the danger of the starlight, so it retracted its tentacles. But if it just let it go, it couldn't resist the temptation of the Primordial Stones. So it had to follow behind Zhang Xiaohua and wait for an opportunity to snatch it.

Fortunately, the jellyfish had accompanied him all the way. Although the sea looked calm on the surface, it was actually very dangerous. Zhang Xiaohua was drifting alone in the sea, and it was easy for him to encounter dangerous fish. The jellyfish had been keeping an eye on him all the way, acting as his bodyguard.

The night slowly faded away. Not far from the undercurrent, there was a deserted island. Looking at the direction of the undercurrent, it was in the direction of the island.

Then, the morning sun rose. Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes and looked around. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. In front of her was the deserted island not far away, and it was about to fall off the sea.

However, before she could be happy, she felt that there was a movement in the water, and it was coming straight to her.

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. He still knew little about the sea. It was so horrible. He was not good at swimming, so he didn't know how to avoid it. At this time, he was quick-witted. He raised the Genuine Qi in his Dantian, and immediately used the levitation skill. His body was pulled out of the water.

Before Zhang Xiaohua came out of the water, he heard a "bang" sound. The wood in his arms was hit by a soft and transparent thing. The force was so great that it knocked Zhang Xiaohua out of the range of the undercurrent. Zhang Xiaohua was still in the air. He felt that the wood in his arms was thrown down, and then he floated on it. When he looked carefully, he saw a giant jellyfish in the water in front of him, which was much bigger than him.

What was that?

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. He had never seen such a giant thing.

However, although he didn't know it, Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that it was not to be trifled with from the horrible transparent thing's appearance.

"What should I do?" Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself.

"I'm standing on the wood now, so I can't use my feet. What's more, my most powerful attack is the flying sword. But I don't know if the small flying sword can hurt this big monster."

"Moreover, it seems that the left and the right of this thing are the same size. Where is the vital part? If the flying sword can find the vital part, it can hit it, otherwise …"

"By the way, I don't know if the transparent thing outside can block the small sword. Alas, it's troublesome."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, but he still couldn't find a good way. The only thing he could do was to release the flying sword. But the flying sword was something that he had just learned, and he hadn't tried it yet. If it was on flat ground, he could try it. But this was the sea. If he was not careful, the flying sword would fall into the water. With the weight of the sword, wouldn't it sink to the bottom?

Unable to make up his mind, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the deserted island not far away, and made a plan in his mind.

In the undercurrent, the pile of wood had drifted far away. Zhang Xiaohua first put the vitality stone back into his arms, took a deep breath, and sank down first. Then, he picked up the wood with his hands and floated up. When the jellyfish saw it, how could it let it go? It immediately chased after it.

Zhang Xiaohua was in the air. He broke the wood with his hands, and immediately tore a big piece from it. He threw it at his feet. His body fell down, and then with a little force, he floated up again. After a few times, he had caught up with the pile of wood in the undercurrent.

However, the huge jellyfish was also following closely behind. Zhang Xiaohua looked up at the deserted island that was still some distance away, and estimated the wood under his feet. He couldn't help but sigh, and took out the small sword from his arms.
