Chapter Two Hundred and Six What Was That? (2/2)

Zuo Mo had cut off anything like the masts. Those things were more for decoration than practicality.

But even so, Zuo Mo was still not satisfied. He studied the water movement formation that the date seed ship had now, and found that this water movement formation was the reason the date seed ship was so slow in the water. Compared to flying in the air, the speed of travel in the water made him feel it was as slow as a turtle.

For example, the Thunder Flowing Light Wings that he had bought from Hong Yang could reach one thousand and five hundred li in two hours at full speed. Even the third-grade lucky cloud that did not pursue speed but was famed for its elegance could easily surpass a speed of three hundred li every two hours.

Having never possessed a water movement talisman before, Zuo Mo naturally could not be satisfied with the speed of the date seed ship. A fourth-grade date seed ship that couldn’t even catch up to a third-grade lucky cloud, wasn’t that a joke?

He completely forgot the resistance in the water was much stronger than flying in the air.

When he realized this problem, it was when he had increased the speed of the date seed ship to two hundred li every two hours, because he discovered that, no matter how he altered the water movement formation, he could not increase the speed of the date seed ship.

He sudden recalled a move that he had practiced before in the [Li Water Sword Scripture] – [Flowing Water]!

Other than being traceless and hard to discover, [Flowing Water] also was fast! It wasn’t an extremely fast, but a comfortable, and smooth, natural flow! He had practiced [Li Water Sword Scripture] in the water before. In the water, [Flowing Water] was much faster! The crux of [Flowing Water] was to change with the water flow, like water flowing from high up down.

If he could turn the date seed ship into the Water Drop sword, that would be good … …

This daring idea suddenly flashed through his head. This idea made him excited. After thinking for a long time, he finally found a solution.

He had just finished it now!

He used several hundred little formations to successfully model a situation similar to [Flowing Water]. The speed of the date seed ship was increased to four hundred li every two hours!

Zuo Mo did not know the market. If he knew the fourth-grade water movement talismans on the market were all around one hundred li every two hours, that even the upper fourth-grade talismans were about two hundred li every two hours, he certainly wouldn’t have been stubborn to increase the speed of the date seed ship.

Such terrifying speed was not without its limits. Due to the high number of formations, it was extremely difficult to control. Zuo Mo found it very hard to control himself, and had to let Lil’ Pagoda take control of the formations. These formations mostly were related to water, and Lil’ Pagoda was the best hand at controlling the five elements.

The other point was the consumption of jingshi had multiplied, especially when they were travelling at full speed. It would use ten jing of ling power every two hours, which was ten pieces of third-grade jingshi, ten times that of the Thunder Flowing Light Wings.

But in Zuo Mo’s perspective, this was worth it. If he couldn’t keep his little life, then no matter how much jingshi he had it was useless.

The present date seed ship finally reached the level of life-saving in his heart.

But before he could rest, suddenly, a feeling of danger came into Zuo Mo’s mind.

Zuo Mo’s heart beat heavily.

He couldn’t help but look outside. In the black water, a dot of light suddenly lit up far away.

This dot of light was extremely small like a hair, but in a blink, it was the size of a sesame seed.

Such fast speed!

Zuo Mo inhaled sharply.

He suddenly remembered the Endless ocean that countless people talked about, which had no border was the playground of strong ling beasts!

“Run!”

Connected to his mind, Lil’ Pagoda instantly light up, the jingshi of the twenty eight stars in the ceiling of the cabin lit up, the cabin so bright it seemed like day.

Vroom vroom vroom! The ship slightly trembled. Under its maximum speed, the pressure that the ship was under was very terrifying.

The sudden change alarmed the other two.

Chun Yu Cheng raised his head in confusion, the excited lush on Gongsun Cha’s face had not retreated. Gongsun Cha reacted first, the lightning speed of the date seed ship frightening him.

“So fast! When did the ship become this fast?” He wasn’t nervous, his face curious as he walked next to Zuo Mo.

“It isn’t the time to discuss this,” Zuo Mo said in a deep voice. “Something has locked onto us.”

“What?” Gongsun Cha’s face was curious. However, when his gaze turned to the outside, his face suddenly changed.

Not far away from the ship, a pair of vicious eyes about the size of a lantern stared at the date seed ship.

When the two people looked at its body, the two couldn’t help but inhale.

An enormous shadow appeared in their vision. Black water that flowed relentlessly was like a mountain that was clearly separate from the surrounding river. The pair of indifferent and vicious eyes were as bright as moons in the black water.

The three felt as though they had fell into a glacier, their entire body cold!

Translator Ramblings: Zuo Mo goes overboard and the sea monsters show up. Gongsun Cha is a little bit obsessed.
