Chapter 522 - An Aerolite With The Same Origin (1/2)

The s.h.i.+p’s speed was increased to the maximum, and it braved the wind and storm for 3 days and 3 nights before the captain finally ordered for the anchor to be dropped.

This was because the sailor that navigated found the area where the peculiar stone was found.

Ou Yangming went to the s.h.i.+p’s bow when he received the news, and he retrieved the stone to hold it in his hands. After looking at the little red bird, they released their mental powers at the same time. Ever since they previously cooperated for 3 days without stopping, their mental powers seemed to have merged.

If their chemistry could be scored, they would certainly receive 10 points in that aspect.

Once their incredibly intimate mental powers merged, the effect was not as simple as 1-2-3, but it was more apparent that their powers were pushed to a height like never before.

Their enormous mental powers gushed into the stone at once, causing an intense heatwave to be released. Consequently, the people on the s.h.i.+p felt like they were being burned.

Feng Yiyuan and the others were appalled. They knew there must be a reason Ou Yangming valued the peculiar stone, but they did not expect the stone to release such fearsome power. At this point, they even suspected that the s.h.i.+p would be lighted up if the heatwave continued.

Nonetheless, the heatwave did not last for long; it disappeared after several breaths.

The sailors on the s.h.i.+p were relieved because they were afraid that Ou Yangming would really burn their s.h.i.+p.

Given the young fellow’s ident.i.ty, not to mention burning the s.h.i.+p, even if he killed everyone on it, n.o.body would complain about the alleged injustice.

“Senior Feng, General Nian, thanks for escorting me here,” Ou Yangming said as he turned around. He added after a pause, “I’ve found the place, so I’ll be leaving the s.h.i.+p. You may go back first.”

Feng Yiyuan immediately expressed, “Master Ou, we can wait for you here.”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “That’s not necessary. I’ll return once I find what I’m looking for, so please go back first.”

Seeing as the great ancestor and the general were reluctant to leave, Ou Yangming pulled a long face and asked, “Are you being so persistent because you want to covet what I’m trying to find?”

Feng Yiyuan and Nian Xinran gasped, and they repeatedly told the young fellow that they dared not do that. In actuality, they were both curious about the bizarre stone. Even though they did not have the guts to poke their nose in the matter, they wanted to gain some knowledge. Nevertheless, after hearing what Ou Yangming said, as bold as they were, they would not stay anymore.

Before long, the s.h.i.+p turned around and sailed in the opposite direction. Along their way back, they were not hara.s.sed by sea beasts anymore.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming began running on the water after watching them leave.

He released his mental power to form an odd air wall around him, then his body slowly sank.

The underwater world was gorgeous, but Ou Yangming did not have the time to admire them at all. He simply swam in the direction he sensed earlier.

Protected by the air wall, Ou Yangming would not be in danger at all, but he soon realized that the wall seemed to have become an ornamental object in the sea as many small fishes swam toward him and attempted to break the wall.

Ou Yangming was annoyed but amused at the same time when he looked at the fishes, which did not know their place. He was decisive in killings, but he could not bring himself to attack the fishes.

This was because there were plenty of them, and they came in batches, hence there would be no end to it.

Moreover, the little fishes were rather adorable. Unless they could threaten Ou Yangming, he would not bear to harm them.

Despite that, while there were only small fishes at first, sea beasts slowly approached him too. The beasts were not large and did not have intense auras, but they were much more troublesome than the little fishes. As they approached the young fellow, the small fishes fled in the blink of an eye.

Next, a ferocious fish charged toward Ou Yangming, but it was rebounded by an invisible yet forceful power when it hit the air wall, causing it to become dizzy.

The other vicious beasts were startled for some time, then they acted one after another as if they would only be satisfied if the air wall was ruined.

Upon seeing this, the little red bird blinked and opened its mouth impatiently as it wanted to spit a fireball. Who knew, Ou Yangming waved his hand and said, “Gather your energy; the place we’re about to explore might have a trial.”

Needless to say, the trial might be a life crisis for other living beings.

The little red bird tilted its head and pondered for some time before it closed its eyes to preserve its energy and recuperate. The information they were finding was left behind by a senior from the Phoenixes’, thus it would not be too much to be prudent.

After some thought, Ou Yangming gently shook his wrist, causing some seawater to flow out from the s.p.a.ce inside the Long Feather Band. The water was ordinary as it was retrieved from the shoal, so its nature was similar to the one the young fellow was in at the moment. Having said that, the seawater released contained the lazy turtle’s aura, which was naturally released after the turtle slept for a long time. The aura was useless for Ou Yangming, but it was instantly effective when he used it here.

As soon as the seawater flowed out and into the water around Ou Yangming, the fierce beasts that surrounded the air wall seemed to have been petrified. Not to mention continuing their attacks, they dared not escape at all.

Ou Yangming laughed and continued to advance with his air wall. Only after he went about 35 meters away, the beasts awoke. Instead of pursuing the young fellow, they turned around and fled in the opposite direction. They were going as far away as they could, so much so that they abandoned their territory.

Escorted by the lazy turtle’s aura, Ou Yangming did not need to worry anymore. Throughout the rest of his journey, whether it was sea beasts with wisdom or ignorant little fishes and shrimps, they stayed away from the air wall as much as possible. Even if some creatures were too slow to get away in time, they simply froze and only moved after the young fellow was far away.
