Chapter 604: The Nightless Sea City
Lu Yu and Ye Weilan lived in the belly of the shark, swimming fast all the way.
Every night when the night fell, the two would come out of the belly of the fish, sit on the head of the shark to observe the stars at night, so as to judge their current position and whether they had deviated from the course.
After about ten days, the two had crossed the Whirlpool Sea, crossed tens of thousands of miles of sea, and arrived at the area of the Windy Strait.
Until now, more than half of the voyage had been completed. As long as they passed the Windy Strait, entered the Silent Sea, and then crossed the waters of the Silent Sea, they could reach the West of the Sea.
Originally, the two planned to continue moving forward in this way, but they encountered huge resistance after arriving at the Windy Strait. The tiger shark was suddenly involved in a binding array.
At first, Lu Yu thought he had encountered a cultivator who hunted fish, and secretly thought that the other party actually used arrays to hunt sharks, which was too extravagant... Then when he rescued the tiger shark, he realized that this should be the defense mechanism of the nearby bay cities.
As an important hub connecting the Silent Sea and the Whirlpool Sea, the Windy Strait has an extremely prosperous trade. All passing ships will choose to dock here. In order to protect the safety of the entire bay area and avoid being attacked and harassed by sea monsters, the managers of the bay city set up defensive formations in various places in the sea.
This is the only way to get to the Silent Sea. If you don't pass through here, you will not only have to go around a long circle, but also be full of dangers along the way.
Therefore, although the customs duties in this bay area are not cheap, there are still constant ships coming and going.
"So, we can only abandon Xiao Hei and pass through this bay area alone?" Ye Weilan said.
After rescuing the tiger shark from the binding array, the two sat on the shark's head and looked at a lighthouse in the distance in the dark night.
After spending more than ten days together, she and the shark have gradually established feelings, so she named it Xiao Hei.
"It seems that this is the only way!" Lu Yu said, "After we cross the Windy Strait, we will find another way to catch a big fish. Otherwise, it will be too conspicuous to go there, and it will be impossible not to be discovered by the people on the other side of the bay..."
Ye Weilan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said hesitantly:
"If possible... we'd better not use this method again! This is really against the will of heaven. You see, Xiao Hei has obviously lost weight these days..."
Lu Yu sneered: "What do you mean by losing weight? It's obviously stronger, It is now many times stronger than before!"
Ye Weilan couldn't help but glared at him: "That won't work. Look, Xiao Hei has been driven by me for such a long distance. His family and friends can't find him. I wonder how anxious they will be..."
"Anyway, we have already crossed such a long distance. Those pursuers behind us will definitely not think that we have arrived here. Why not think of other ways to rush to Haixi!"
Lu Yu thought, sharks are oviparous species. From the moment of birth, they completely cut off the ties with their mothers. How can there be any family affection? Besides, she has seen the scene of sharks fighting for food. If they are angry, these sharks will even eat their own kind. How can they distinguish between family and friends...
But he wisely didn't say much. He didn't expect Ye Weilan to have such a sentimental side, but he was relieved when he thought about it. If she didn't have such a heart, how could she be so compassionate to her own people?
So, the two of them released the tiger shark.
Unexpectedly, after the two people's training these days, this tiger shark actually opened up some intelligence, and was reluctant to leave. It kept circling around the two people and refused to leave for a long time.
Finally, under Lu Yu's repeated expulsion, it finally left reluctantly and swam completely to the vast deep sea.
Ye Weilan carried Lu Yu on his back again and turned to walk towards the direction of the lighthouse.
"What kind of place will be ahead?" Ye Weilan couldn't help asking curiously.
"According to the map, there is a city called Hailan City ahead, and the entire Kuangfeng Strait is under the control of Hailan City..." Lu Yu replied.
"I've only heard of this place before. I only know that the trade here is very developed, but I don't know much about other aspects..."
"However, judging from the defensive formations arranged in the sea, it is obvious that their strength is not weak. They are definitely not easy to mess with. I'm afraid it's another Shengyun Mountain in this overseas world!"
Ye Weilan slightly tilted his head, glanced at him, and said, "Can you stop thinking about making trouble? What is Shengyun Mountain?"
Lu Yu said, "It's not that I want to make trouble, but sometimes trouble likes to come to me... Shengyun Mountain is the top supermarket in the entire cultivation world. Many top treasures will appear there. Did you see the magic weapon Butterfly Flying in the ring? I bought it there not long ago..."
Ye Weilan's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, wouldn't there be many treasures bought and sold here?"
Lu Yu nodded: "Yes... Maybe it's not as good as the Saint Cloud Mountain in quality and grade, but there are indeed many treasures here. After all, this is an important hub connecting the two seas!"
"When the time comes, we can pick out a few protective treasure clothes for you here. Don't worry, they will definitely be better than your original python skin armor!"
Until this time, Ye Weilan was still wearing Lu Yu's scholar clothes. It was quite good to wear it like this, but it would look a bit strange. Lu Yu thought it would be best to find a treasured robe with a transformation function here, and then turn it into a maid's outfit, and then hire a big ship to go out to sea, that would be perfect...
Unconsciously, the two had come to the lighthouse.
After bypassing the island reef where the lighthouse stood, suddenly the eyes were suddenly clear. Within a range of less than 20 miles ahead, a brilliant light suddenly appeared, fully demonstrating the prosperity of this bay city.
"Ah! It's so beautiful here!"
Ye Weilan couldn't help but exclaimed. She had been dormant in the demon world. Although there were many demons there, the level of development was not high. Many places even maintained the habit of eating raw meat and drinking blood, so there was no prosperous city-state in the true sense.
Even Lu Yu saw such a prosperous city for the first time. It was like a city that never sleeps. From the brightness of the lights at night, even Qianwu City, the original capital of the Dawu Dynasty, was inferior to it.
"It seems that people here are night owls..." Lu Yu said with emotion.
Originally, he was worried that it was too late and all the shops in the city had closed. He was worried about how to hold on until dawn, but now he didn't have such worries.
In order to avoid shocking the world, Ye Weilan did not use the body movement of stepping on snow without leaving any traces. He just sped at a normal speed. Not long after, he crossed the sea distance of about 20 miles and landed steadily on the harbor of this city.
The crowd around was obviously used to such a scene and did not attract too much attention. However, when they saw Ye Weilan's beautiful face, the crowd around could not help but exclaimed.
The guards at the harbor briefly questioned the two and registered their names before letting them go. Before leaving, one of the guards suddenly said "Happy New Year" to them.
Lu Yu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the lights were bright here, it turned out to be because of the New Year celebration!
Unknowingly, a year had passed!
For a moment, he was filled with emotion. At this time last year, he was still preparing a huge plan on Yudie Peak to deal with various creditors who came to collect debts. He did not expect that he would spend the New Year in such an overseas city with a completely unfamiliar demon woman.
Thinking back to this, the lights in front of him suddenly became a little different. It was no longer just a hustle and bustle, but also a kind of nostalgia and attachment.
I wonder where the master is at this moment, and whether there are bright lights around?
"It's so lively here! It turns out that this is what a human city looks like..."
The two walked to the streets in the city, and Ye Weilan sighed softly.
She was very curious, her eyes were always bright, and she kept looking at the traffic around her and all kinds of new things.
Lu Yu thought that this was not a real human city, because the residents in the city were not just humans.
Through this observation, it can even be said that this place is "a mixture of good and bad", but perhaps it is precisely because of this "great mixture" that this bay city has great vitality.
"Where are we going?"
After walking aimlessly all the way, Ye Weilan suddenly turned around and asked Lu Yu.
Lu Yu shrugged and said, "How should I know? Aren't you the one leading the way? I thought you knew where to go?"
Ye Weilan's pretty face turned red, revealing a bit of embarrassment. She had indeed forgotten herself a little along the way.
Lu Yu then laughed and said, "We don't have any purpose tonight. We'll go wherever we go! As long as we're happy!"
Ye Weilan's face suddenly opened up and she smiled back.
For some time, the two have been struggling on the edge of life and death, running around, and they have indeed been suppressed for too long. The road ahead will not be easy, and even the final outcome is unknown.
It's rare to have such a good opportunity now, so Lu Yu also plans to temporarily put down his burden and relax completely for a night.
The two walked for a while, and suddenly a burst of fragrant smell came, which made people salivate.
"What is this? It smells so good!" Ye Weilan said.
Lu Yu looked to the side and saw that the source of the fragrance was a tall building with three strong and powerful characters on the plaque - Zuixianlou.
It turned out to be a restaurant.
Suddenly, Lu Yu couldn't help but become interested. After all, he had been eating only water and dry food for so long on the road, and he was indeed greedy.
"Let's go! I'll take you to see some real delicious food!"
