Chapter 214 - Arriving At Volcanic Island (1/2)
Chapter 214: Arriving At Volcanic Island
On top of the black boat was a beautiful pavilion where Little Fatty and gang were resting in. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery while enjoying the tea and snacks which Little Fatty prepared. Of course, the stone was an exception. He was still in meditation as though he was in bitter cultivation. This made Little Fatty could not help but applaud at how hardworking he was.
After flying a while, SiYun and SiYu suddenly said together, “Daoist brother~”
As SongZhong heard that, he interrupted them with a bitter expression, “I am younger and weaker than both of you, just call me junior brother. Don’t call me Daoist brother, Daoist brother, making me sound so old!”
“Ah ah!” SiYun and SiYu found SongZhong’s words amusing and could not help but giggle. They complied and said, “If that’s the case, then we shall not stand on ceremony! Junior brother Song!”
“En en!” SongZhong then said with a smile, “I wonder what senior sisters need from me?”
“It’s like that!” SiYun and SiYu hurriedly said, “When you are flying in the deeper parts of the Eastern Ocean, it’s best that you fly at lower alt.i.tudes; just a few hundred feet above the sea. You must not fly at heights approaching the sky!”
“En?” As SongZhong heard that, he asked in doubt, “Isn’t it better to fly up in the sky? The scenery is better and we can look further. If we fly so low, we may end up ramming into a mountain!”
SongZhong’s is definitely not turning a deaf ear to what the sisters said. You have to know, the flying boat is able to travel 500 kilometres in 10 minutes. If they are to fly just above the sea, its speed would generate shockwaves which would definitely stir the sea beneath it. If a large island is to suddenly appear in front of it, it would be difficult to dodge it for sure.
As SiYun and SiYu heard that, they hurriedly explained themselves, “You can let the boat fly slower, but don’t fly too high because the sky is extremely dangerous. The strongest cultivators and demonic beasts all like to fly up in the sky. Of course, it is extremely rare to see them normally. But if we really see them, we would most likely be in trouble!”
“In trouble?” SongZhong asked in doubt, “Don’t tell me they all like to rob juniors?”
“No no, they do not like to rob juniors. In truth, the generation separation does not mean anything to them. They are only concerned with treasures. This flying boat of yours is something which everyone would fight for. A flying boat like yours is a rare sight, even to JinDan cultivators. If something like this is seen in the hands of a group of foundational cultivators, will they not come and s.n.a.t.c.h it?” SiYun and SiYu explained.
“Ah, that’s true!” SongZhong answered in realisation.
At this moment, Mu ZiRong who was by the side, scorned, “Then ask them to come and s.n.a.t.c.h it! Don’t tell me we are going to be afraid of a mere JinDan cultivator.
As everyone heard that, they were all startled. Although they already held Mu ZiRong’s strength in high regard, they never expected her to be perverse to the point she can fight a JinDan cultivator. Moreover, she was just a mere early foundational cultivator. Just where did her arrogance stems from?
Seeing how suspicion has filled everyone’s eyes, SongZhong knew that things were going wrong. If Mu ZiRong’s real strength were to be exposed, the secret of the Nine Beauties Painting would definitely be out.
Helpless, he could only glare at Mu ZiRong and demanded her to shut up. Then, he explained with a smile, “Please pay no heed to her nonsense. How could she defeat a JinDan cultivator? The only reason why she dares to say that is because of the Mystical Sky Yard backing. In the Eastern Ocean, there probably aren’t many people who will not show face to the Mystical Sky Yard right?
After hearing SongZhong’s explanation, everyone revealed an expression of understanding. SongZhong then heaved a sigh of relief.
But, SiYun and SiYu hurriedly said, “Junior brother Song, you guys are thinking too simply. The strong cultivators in the Eastern Ocean are not just the cultivators of the Eastern Ocean Alliance. There are also many high-grade demonic beasts! They are intelligent and enjoy roaming around the Eastern Ocean. They may even approach the Eastern Ocean Alliance to kill people for fun. If we were to meet perverts like these, they would kill you regardless of your status. It’s best for us to be careful!”
“You’re right!” SongZhong agreed and said, “Low profile, low profile!” As he said that, he controlled the boat to fly less than a thousand feet above the sea. At the time time, he slowed the boat down in order to avoid hitting into mountains.
Despite the boat reducing their traveling speed, they did not have to rest and can travel through the night. Thus, they managed to reach in just two days.
Finally, the black boat landed on an island near the outskirts of the volcanic island which was emitting smoke.
Looking at the island in front of them, everyone could not help but reveal an excited expression. This time, not only did they save a large amount of time, the journey was a lot safer because they did not have to stop to recover. They were all in their prime conditions and could engage in battle at any time. Usually, they would have to take a day worth of rest after reaching their destination before engaging in battle. This stark difference is unquestionable.
Thus, despite how no one displayed it, they were all extremely thankful towards SongZhong for taking out the giant boat. Even the Stone also nodded to SongZhong slightly to express grat.i.tude. This grat.i.tude had made SongZhong feel overwhelmed.
