Chapter 670: Going Out Is Not a Good Idea
After a month of hesitation, Zhang Chi and Ao Long finally boarded the ship to go out to sea.
Although the old Dragon King was indeed anxious, he could not abandon his newlywed wives just to see the Dragon King.
Everyone had to arrange their shifts before leaving.
They didn't need this meal, but what was important was Zhang Chi's attitude.
Women, attitude is everything.
In addition to Hongli and Ao Long, the two sea saints, Zhang Chi was accompanied by Chen Runyu, Gu Youyou and Jin Ling'er.
Chen Runyu's tortoise shell shield had a strong protective effect, and after all, he was the inheritor selected by Xuanwu, which was considered a bit of face.
Jin Ling'er could communicate with the Golden Tripod space and enter the Golden Tripod at any time. This was also her ultimate means of saving her life. As long as she did not enter a strange secret realm like the Blood Secret Realm, she could find a way to escape.
Although Zhang Chi believed that the old Dragon King would not attack him, it was always better to be more prepared for everything.
After the group set off on the boat, they were accompanied by sea guards. With the protection of these sea guards, there would be basically no problem on the sea, as long as they did not encounter bad luck like gray fog and black tide.
The reason for taking the boat was purely to show their identity.
After all, Zhang Chi's current identity was not ordinary. He was the dog-headed military advisor behind the goddesses.
If it was just him, a mere little cultivator who had not yet passed the tribulation would not be qualified to meet the Dragon King.
Although Zhang Chi felt that the Dragon King wanted to see him, it should be for him, not his identity, but Zhang Chi still took the luxury plus ship.
This is a luxury sea ship built with the power of several continents. When Zhang Chi decided to go to the Falling Star Sea, it was built on the basis of the original old ship.
A large number of refining masters worked day and night to transform it into its current appearance within a month.
There is no need to worry about the practicality. This big ship can no longer be called a ship, but a warship.
All the materials are top-notch, and it has been blessed by several gods.
Qinglian blessed healing, Miaoyin blessed luck, Xueshan God blessed protection, and Wenrenli blessed reincarnation.
Of course, Zhang Chi hoped that he would not use the blessings of Qinglian and Wenrenli. If he used one of them, it would mean that he was seriously injured, which would be dangerous.
The blessing of reincarnation directly sent them to reincarnation. As long as they died, Wenrenli's power could make them instantly enter the yellow lotus, saving them from the pain of souls flying away.
Even if their souls were broken by being beaten, they could be repaired after returning to the yellow lotus.
Zhang Chi certainly did not want to trigger this kind of guaranteed magic skill.
The boat set off from Xizhou and sailed westward with the east wind, but it was so fast that it seemed to be flying.
Because there were many giant turtles pulling the boat under the bed, Zhang Chi counted them, no more, no less, exactly nine.
Good guy, all these fancy things, others have nine dragons pulling coffins, and I have nine turtles pulling boats?
It's... quite speechless.
However, the giant turtles were indeed very fast, and the nine giant turtles paddled together, driving huge waves. The scene was truly spectacular.
Although the saying that nine turtles pulled the boat was not very domineering, the scene was not ambiguous at all.
Hongli stood at the bow, feeling the extreme speed of riding the wind and waves, and even wanted to jump in and paddle with the turtles.
However, she was proud of her status and did not do so. She just sighed to Zhang Chi: "This speed is really fast! If I had this speed when I went to the Chaos Star Sea with Ao Long, I would not have been swept into the black tide."
Hongli Jiang was talking about her story of turning into a dragon again. It was not a recollection of the bitter past, but purely showing off.
Zhang Chi did not expose her, and said: "Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent. You have also been through trials to achieve today's achievements!"
Zhang Chi knew what Hongli liked to hear, and specifically picked out what she liked to talk about.
The red carp was really happy, and said proudly: "It was because of my low cultivation level at the beginning. If I see the black tide again now, I want to see where it comes from."
Zhang Chi: "..."
This red carp, you can't spoil it too much. Look, if you coax her a little, her tail will be up to the sky.
Zhang Chi hurriedly said: "You'd better stop talking, don't really attract things when the time comes, we can just get to the Falling Star Sea safely."
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us here, can't we protect you well?"
Hongli said casually, but the next second, she was dumbfounded.
Ahead, the black tide is lurking!
Hongli: "..."
Is my mouth blessed?
This is the second time. The last time she and Ao Long went out to sea not long ago, they encountered the black tide sweeping the gray fog, and then began a desperate journey. In the end, she luckily passed the test and then turned into a dragon.
Unexpectedly, this thing can come a second time.
The probability of encountering a black tide at sea is actually very low, and the probability of encountering gray fog is also very low. The probability of encountering both at the same time is low on top of low.
It is basically certain that she is being targeted by someone because she can encounter a black tide and gray fog for the second time.
Hongli's face is a little dark.
She just said that she can fight against the black tide, and now the black tide jumps on her face, and there is also gray fog.
Hongli also knows the horror of gray fog in the secret realm of the bloody battlefield. Although it is not the first time she has faced it, she is confident that she can come out safely even if she is swept in.
However, she does not want to go through that boring test of Taoism.
"Are you a koi or a crow?"
Zhang Chi saw the black tide rolling over with gray fog, and he couldn't help but complain.
Other people's koi bring good luck, but you are a crow, right?
Fortunately, the speed of the turtles is indeed very powerful. Although the Kuroshio is fast, the turtles who received the instructions accelerated wildly in a short period of time, turned around, and narrowly missed the edge of the Kuroshio.
"Luckily we didn't go in, otherwise a lot of people on our ship would have died."
Zhang Chi was also lucky. Those of them who were accomplished practitioners were naturally not afraid of the black tide and gray mist. This was not the first time they had seen it.
But there are still many people on the boat who are just trying to make up the numbers, and their Taoism may not be firm.
Proud men like Hong Li and Ao Long almost overturned their cars in the gray fog, let alone ordinary people.
Hong Li was also a little embarrassed, and said weakly: "Otherwise, I'd better not say anything next!"
Seeing that she had realized her mistake, Zhang Chi didn't continue to nag her. After all, she didn't mean it. Who would have thought that his nonsense words would really attract the black tide?
"Just stop being so talkative. You are such a loudmouth. Wouldn't it be too bullying to ask you to stop?"
"You have a small mouth!"
Hong Li gave Zhang Chi angrily, but she was still quite satisfied with Zhang Chi's response.
At least Zhang Chi didn't really care about her and just blew the matter away as a joke.
Zhang Chi also noticed that Gu Youyou had been staring in the direction of the black tide, seeming to be thinking about something.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Chi felt that Gu Youyou must have noticed something unusual, and Hong Li also thought about the demon seal that was washed away in the black tide. Could it be that this black tide really has something to do with the demons?
"The aura of the Kuroshio is very similar to that of the Nine Netherworlds."
Gu Youyou truthfully told her feelings. It is impossible for every demon to remember the aura of the Nine Nether Realm wrongly, because it is the thing that has trapped them and tortured them for many years.
Gu Youyou is okay. Although she is arrogant and unruly, she rarely provokes Jiu Nether Realm. She knows that she can't afford to provoke things, but she still wants to provoke them. Isn't that asking for death?
"Not only do they have similar smells, but they also have similar characteristics."
Gu Youyou hesitated, but still expressed his feelings.
"What characteristics?"
"The quality of being alive."
Gu Youyou said seriously: "Generally speaking, the difference between living things and dead things is very obvious. The most basic way to judge dead things and living things is to judge spirituality."
The most common thing that needs to be judged between dead and living things is artifacts, such as humans and monsters, birds and animals, and various plants. Anyone with a little common sense can know whether they are dead or alive.
Only utensils, under the infusion of spirituality, may transform from dead objects into living objects.
For example, a fairy sword is just a sword at first, but as the relationship between the owner and the sword deepens, the sword gradually becomes spiritual. At this time, is the sword still a dead thing?
Therefore, in order to distinguish between dead and living things, the world of immortality has gradually developed recognized standards.
That is, anything that can manifest a soul and have independent consciousness is a living thing, otherwise it is a dead thing. Moreover, the spirit of the tool will be regarded as a living thing, but the tool itself will not be regarded as a living thing.
For example, the spirit of the Red Cauldron is a living thing, but the Red Cauldron itself is a dead thing.
The Nine Nether Realm should be regarded as a dead object. If it is treated as an artifact, then he should also meet the requirements, that is, there is an artifact spirit, and the artifact itself is a dead object.
However, there is no weapon spirit in the Nine Nether Realm. It should be a dead object, but it seems to be alive.
The demons were also unsure, so they had to make up their own words for something they couldn't understand.
In the past, Gu Youyou had only seen one example of the Nine Netherworld, but now she had seen the second one.
Kuroshio!
This thing happens to be similar to the Nine Netherworld.
This also makes Gu Youyou very curious. Is there any connection between Kuroshio and Jiuyou Nether Realm?
In particular, there seems to be demonic energy in the black tide, which further proves that the two are closely related.
However, what she can explore currently is relatively limited.
Zhang Chi had already begun to pay attention to Gu Youyou's words when he heard them.
"Forget it if you missed the Kuroshio this time. If you see it again in the future, we will study it carefully."
It was determined that the speed of Kuroshio and Gray Mist was relatively slow, so Zhang Chi naturally didn't have to cover up his words so much. .
Besides, I’ve seen the black tide and gray mist just now, so I wouldn’t want to come here now!
"Look, the black tide is coming again!"
Zhang Chi: "???"
Is this Kuroshio here specifically to slap you in the face?
Zhang Chi couldn't help complaining: "We shouldn't have any grudges, right? How come this thing can catch up?"
"This should not be the same black tide, the atmosphere is slightly different."
Gu Youyou is very certain, she believes that her judgment is correct.
Although this statement is a bit outrageous, it is indeed true.
After going to sea, within one day, they encountered the combination of black tide and gray fog twice in a row... (End of this chapter)
