Chapter 974: 974

A roaring sea appeared below the flying boat, stretching into the horizon without end . The blue water frothed and raged, with huge waves bigger than mountains cras.h.i.+ng down .

The Eastern Wasteland’s disciples had never seen such a thing . In front of this huge sea, they felt themselves to be incredibly miniscule .

“Is this Martial Heaven Sea-Ring very dangerous?” asked Guo Ran nervously .

“Very dangerous . In fact, the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring is one of the seven great danger zones . Although it’s ring-shaped, just going through its width would take a full week of full-speed flying . Sea demons run amok within the sea, and they are exceptionally dangerous . In order to avoid disturbing powerful sea demons, we can’t fly at full speed over it and can only stealthily slip our way through,” explained the senior disciple .

“Seven great danger zones?”

“The Central Plains is extremely large, and even we only know that the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring is one of the seven danger zones . Fortunately, it’s very large, and so the danger is scattered, making it less fearful . However, it truly is one of the seven danger zones, and every time you fly over it, you have to be careful . Using a smaller flying boat would actually be better, because it doesn’t draw as much attention . But our flying boat is too big, and it’s all too easy for powerful sea demons to notice us . If it was just ordinary sea demons, it’d be fine . Even if we ran into King-level sea demons, in other words, ninth rank sea demons, there would be nothing to fear . But if we meet sea demons above that, it’ll be troublesome,” said the senior disciple . Each year, countless flying boats disappeared over the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring, and no one dared to guarantee being able to pa.s.s it with absolute safety .

“Sea demons? As in, Magical Beasts that live within the sea?” asked Guo Ran .

“You can put it like that . But they do have some differences from ordinary Magical Beasts . They have no crystal cores, but they have a Neidan inside that is even more valuable . However, sea demons are stronger and fiercer than Magical Beasts . It’s unknown just how many terrifying sea demons are hidden within the depths of the sea…”

BOOM!

Suddenly, the flying boat shook intensely, causing everyone to reel . The flying boat fiercely tilted .

“No need to worry, it’s just the storm zone . This is just some minor turbulence . This area is where the land’s air stream clashes with the sea’s air stream . In truth, this storm zone is the safest part of the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring,” said the disciple .

“How do you mean?”

“Because this area doesn’t have sea demons, as they don’t like this environment . That makes it the safest . ”

The storm zone wasn’t very large . After just an hour’s flying, they pa.s.sed it . A beautiful, sunny sky appeared in front of them, one without any clouds . The sea was calm with only slight waves . It was a beautiful and peaceful scene .

But as soon as they arrived here, the senior disciples tensed . The flying boat also slowed down, making less of a disturbance as it flew .

Without any warning, a ripple appeared on the sea . A head bigger than a mountain broke through the surface of the water, and a huge spout of water smashed into the flying boat .

The flying boat was struck and catapulted through the air . The people inside all became dizzy .

“What is that?” asked Guo Ran .

“Cyan Scaled Monsters . They’re extremely loathsome, as they enjoy attacking things that are flying over the water . If smaller flying boats are seen by them, then the attacks they unleash might destroy the whole boat . ”

However, smaller boats were also harder to see, so there was less chance of being struck . Thus, they actually had quite an advantage . But the Xuantian Dao Sect couldn’t send one, because they hadn’t known how many people they would be bringing back .

For their mountain-sized flying boat to fly over the water, they truly were very eye-catching .

“Then why not have the flying boat fly higher? Then wouldn’t they be able to avoid the sea demons’ attacks?”

“A good idea, but it won’t work . The Martial Heaven Sea-Ring is extremely strange . Up in the air, there are strange laws . The higher the flying boats go, the greater the resistance . It’ll cause loud rumbling and be even less safe . ”

Everyone couldn’t help being startled . This Martial Heaven Sea-Ring was too bizarre . They were nervous, as well as a bit excited .

The flying boat was constantly shaken as occasional water spouts struck it . It was constantly forced to tumble through the air, making everyone lightheaded . It was difficult to bear .

“f.u.c.k, is there an end to this?” cursed Guo Ran . He felt nauseated .

“Endure it . Once we’re past this region, it’ll be smoother . It was the same for us when we came,” comforted a senior disciple .

In truth, they all found this unbearable . It was like they were stuck in a ball, and the sea demons’ attacks were like kicks to the ball . Each time they were struck, it made them feel worse .
