Chapter 118 Bone-eating Fish Swarm_i

The sky was brilliantly sunny, white seagulls gathered in flocks, skimming through the air in formation.
The tides by the island washed as though flurries of stacked snow.
A group of seven led by Xu Mu, some flying on Magic Artifacts, others atop Monster Beasts, traversed approximately seven to eight hundred li under the guidance of Whale Falling Chen.
“Here!”
Whale Falling Chen stood atop a white jade Flying Boat, gesturing everyone to stop with his hand. He then took out a positioning compass, and channeled his Spiritual Power into it.
The compass radiated light, its needle hovering in the air, spinning ceaselessly.
Even though Whale Falling Chen had been here before, the sea was different than land. There was no way to pinpoint the location on the sea surface with naked eyes. He needed to use the compass to get his bearings.
Standing to one side, Xu Mu, with his flying sword underfoot, surveyed the surroundings.
He looked far into the distance, and for almost ten li around, there were no islands. It seemed that the ruins weren’t on the sea, but under it. Yet, the exact depth remained unknown.
Xu Mu released his Divine Intent to investigate.
The others obviously thought the same, unconsciously releasing their Divine Intent and sweeping it over the sea.
However, everyone’s cultivation was limited and with the interference of the seawater, their scanning depth was also limited. No one discovered the location of the ruins.
At this moment, the compass in Whale Falling Chen’s hand finally stopped spinning, its glowing needle pointed towards a certain spot.
“It’s underneath here, approximately at a depth of a hundred to two hundred zhang!” Whale Falling Chen stowed the compass and announced.
A hundred to two hundred zhang, that’s between three hundred to six hundred meters. Normal humans would have a hard time reaching such depths without diving equipment.
However, everyone present was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, their bodies even tougher than steel. Diving thousands of meters into the sea was not a big issue for them.
Everyone began showing off their skills.
First was Whale Falling Chen, he took out a blue bead from his storage bag, channeling Spiritual Power into it. The bead immediately radiated a bright light.
The seawater automatically parted under the bead’s glow. Holding onto the blue bead, Whale Falling Chen unimpededly flew towards the seabed.
Xu Yiren took out a gray gauze net, enveloped her whole body in it, and also easily isolated the seawater. She chased Whale Falling Chen towards the seabed.
Shen Gai rode the black strange bird he arrived on directly into the water. The black strange bird’s body formed a layer of black light, covering Shen Gai’s bulky body, and its own, in the process. Amidst the water, they moved as swiftly as an arrow.
Wang Xian Yin squeezed a finger Jue, forming a blue light barrier. When she entered the water, she seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, propelling her deeper into the sea.
Yang Wanshou released a shuttle-like Magic Artifact, sat within it after it enlarged, and moved freely under the water.
Zhang Tianluo was the most peculiar. She jumped directly into the sea and swam with her arms and legs. Her speed was even more agile than that of a fish.
Living at sea, diving was a basic skill.
They all had their own unique skills. However, Xu Mu was not particularly adept at diving.
He took out a talisman, stuck it on himself, forming a blue barrier similar to Wang Xian Yin’s. Then he jumped into the water using Spiritual Power to propel himself forward, chasing after the others.
Among the seven of them, the fastest was not the highest cultivation level Whale Falling Chen, nor was it Shen Gai who had a mount. It was the large-headed and small-bodied Zhang Tianluo.
She was incredibly fast despite seeming like the water resistance did not exist. As she moved forward, she spared time to roam around.
The slowest person without a doubt was Xu Mu, who seemed to be dragging everyone else down.
If not for everyone intentionally slowing down, they would have left him behind.
This behavior caused everyone in the team to look back at him repeatedly.
Xu Mu gave an awkward smile, chased harder causing others to feel embarrassed to mention this.
Yet, they all found it strange. Xu Mu, a mid-term Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, shouldn’t be so incapable.
But no one wanted to ask since everyone was present.
