The pointed bow split the waves and set sail on the vast sea.
The sailors on the ship were busy on the deck. Some were adjusting the direction of the sails, some were repairing the hull that was damaged by the waves, and some were cleaning the algae on the deck.
This ship has a very deep draft and is mostly loaded with cargo such as medicinal herbs, as well as some ores unique to Tianyuan Continent. If these seemingly low-value items could be transported to Kuntian Continent, the profits would be astonishing.
Kuntianzhou has a vast territory and is rich in gold and silver, but the land is barren. Therefore, there is a huge demand for these exotic grass ores, and they can be sold at a good price if they are resold. Of course, the most valuable thing is people, but the business of human trafficking is monopolized by other forces, making it difficult for others to get in and get a piece of the pie.
Life at sea is boring, and Wu Gen can only hone his sword skills in the cabin every day. The practice of the Six-fold Cut has begun. Wu Gen discovered that when he used the Six-fold Cut to support the two styles of Tianluo and Sunset, he already had some momentum when performing them.
If Xizhao slashes with all his strength, the opponent's spirit will be affected by the move and fall into an inexplicable depression. If the opponent's spirit is weaker, the divine fire may also be extinguished, and he will end up dead.
Of course, this is only against relatively weak opponents, and with such an effect, it can only deliver one blow. If it were to be used by force, the human world would be unable to support it based on its current strength.
However, what Wu Gen has been thinking about for the past two days is an inscription that appeared inexplicably on the bones. When he was in Dayizhou, he secretly carved a solid inscription on the bones, but later, for some reason, it disappeared.
I also thought about engraving it on the bone again, but for some reason, I couldn't do it. It seemed that something was blocking the formation of the inscription.
After breaking through the realm, Wu Gen found that there was a faint inscription on his body, and its shape was like a person holding up the sky. After pondering for a long time, Wu Gen didn't know what the function of this inexplicable inscription was, and it didn't seem to have any bonus on the body.
In the mood of giving it a try, Wu Gen tried to adjust the strokes of the inscription, but he tried several times without any effect. Disappointed, I added a few random strokes. As the saying goes, unintentionally planting willows to create shade, Wu Gen suddenly found that his sight gradually stretched into the distance, and he could even clearly see the flying fish jumping on the sea in the distance.
What the hell is this? Wu Gen was so frightened that he sat down on the deck. Turning around and looking around, everything on the ship was clearly visible, even the pores on the sailors' bodies were clearly visible.
After relaxing his mood, Wu Gen stood up again. He couldn't help but become curious and looked into the distance. As the inscription pattern continued to move, his sight expanded further and further. Suddenly, Wu Gen's face turned pale and he realized that his blood was rapidly draining.
In shock, Wu Gen quickly stopped activating the inscription pattern. If he continued, he would probably be sucked into his body. Sitting on the deck with lingering fear, Wu Gen gasped for air. When he looked inside again, the inscription pattern returned to its original state.
In the days that followed, Wu Gen gradually discovered the efficacy of this inscription after several trials. It turns out that this is an initial inscription, just like the "one" in the birth of heaven and earth. Based on this, other inscriptions can be derived, but it consumes a lot of blood and energy. Even Wu Gen's current cultivation level cannot sustain it for much. long time.
After trying to change several kinds of inscriptions, Wu Gen also summed up the rules. If the inscriptions derived are consistent with his own, the blood energy consumed will be correspondingly less. If the two conflict, the blood energy consumption will be correspondingly smaller. It's extremely terrifying, and if you're not careful, you may run out of blood.
You must know that blood is the essence of the human body. If you consume too much at one time, your martial arts foundation may be damaged. In more serious cases, you may die on the spot.
It seems that although this inscription has many functions, it also has many limitations. With my own qualifications, I can only use a few functions at most. But which ones they are specifically need to be figured out little by little in the days to come.
After walking for a few more days, the sky gradually became gloomy and the waves on the sea gradually grew larger. The originally blue sea water became deep. Looking down, the black sea surface was like an abyss, ready to swallow everything on the sea surface at any time.
"The storm is coming, tie up everything on the boat, and stay in the cabin if you have nothing to do. I don't care if you get hit or fall into the sea and drown." Ran Peng stood barefoot under the mast and yelled at the boat.
Wu Gen and Yang Zheng both hid in the cabin. The dim candlelight shivered in the violent shaking of the ship and might be extinguished at any time.
The storm came overwhelmingly, and the ship was like a leaf. Sometimes it was thrown high in the air, and sometimes it fell heavily into the deep valley.
Hearing the creaking sound of the ship being overwhelmed, Wu Gen opened the hatch and stumbled out. The oncoming rain mixed with the waves of sea water immediately drowned Wu Gen.
In the distance, among the ink-like dark clouds, lightning struck across the sky from time to time. The rough sea roared like a roaring lion, and the whole world seemed to be overturned.
The deck was already full of sea water. Wu Gen crouched against the strong wind and cautiously reached the captain's cabin.
Ran Peng stood on the ground, his bare feet firmly grasping the ground, looking at the situation in the distance while taking a swig of strong wine. Sha Jin was also among them, looking nervously ahead.
"Silly bird, are you going in the right direction? If you're wrong, I'll see if I don't put you in a pig cage." Ran Peng cursed Sha Jin loudly and kicked him on the butt.
"Don't worry, boss, even if there is a knife in the world, Lao Sha can still tell the direction." Sha Jin staggered, with a smile on his face.
Seeing Wu Gen pushing the door open and coming in, Ran Peng laughed and said, "What's the matter? Are you worried or scared?"
Wu Gen shook the water off his body and wiped his face, "It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that it's okay to go on the boat like this."
Ran Peng sneered, "This ship has been with me for ten years. I have seen big winds and waves. How could I not be able to withstand this small storm? Don't worry, there is Dingyi Gate further ahead. The wind and waves will calm down when you get there. Come down."
Seeing that Ran Peng was quite calm, Wu Gen felt relieved and started chatting in the captain's cabin.
After this inquiry, I learned that compared to other sea areas, the rising sea from Tianyuan Continent to Kuntian Continent is full of dangers. Soon after entering the deep sea, there is the famous Sea of Storms. This is the sea area we are traveling in. In addition to violent storms, there are also many undercurrents and whirlpools hidden under the sea. If the ship accidentally enters them, it will be torn into pieces by accident.
Although the swollen sea is huge, there are only a few routes that can be taken. After passing through the Sea of Storms, we arrived at Dingyi Gate. The storm there was slightly lighter, but the only disadvantage was that the Divine Religion would sometimes send ships to patrol. Once a smuggling ship was discovered, it would often be destroyed without mercy.
In this way, after the ship was tossed in the wind and waves for many days, the wind and waves gradually became smaller. On this day, Wu Gen was cleaning the water plants on the deck with other sailors when Sha Jin suddenly shouted from the bow, "I saw Dingyi Gate."
Wu Gen looked up and saw two black spots faintly appearing on the sea in the distance, which were very eye-catching on the empty sea.
Going forward, the wind and waves gradually subsided, and the two black spots became larger and larger. When the boat got closer, Wu Gen discovered that these two black spots were two huge statues.
The statue is completely black, but there are two warriors in black robes standing opposite each other, holding long swords in their hands and staring at the sea with sinister eyes. Judging from his clothing, it is obvious that he is in the style of a god.
The ship slowly sailed past, and only then did it realize the majesty of the statue. The part exposed above the sea was more than a hundred feet high, and an aggressive momentum rushed towards it.
"This is the Dingyi Gate. It is called this because there is a guardian statue that looks like a gate. Generally, ships going to the distant seas have to pass here. After all, this is a huge stormy sea, and there are few places where it is safe. A place to sail." Ran Peng walked to Wu Gen's side, folded his arms, and looked at the statue getting closer and closer with emotion.
"Does the Divine Religion often send people to inspect this important place on the sea?" Wu Gen looked at the statue and asked curiously.
"The divine cult is also a human being, and who is willing to stay here all year round? As long as the shepherds don't attack, they can only come once or twice a month." Ran Peng put his hands on the bow of the boat and looked at the statue with a somewhat complicated look. .
Wu Gen turned his head and looked at Ran Peng, then said after careful consideration: "Have you ever stayed in a divine religion?"
Ran Peng was startled for a moment, but did not look back. After a long while, he replied: "You have seen that I am indeed a guardian knight of the divine religion. I rebelled because I offended someone. I have nowhere to go. , so he went overseas and started the business of smuggling beheadings."
At this point, Ran Peng patted the hull of the ship hard, staring at Wu Gen with sinister eyes, "By the way, you are thousands of miles away, why are you going to Kuntian Continent?"
Wu Gen showed his white teeth and smiled slightly, "I surrendered to the shepherd and prepared to go back and kill the cult."
"Hahaha." Ran Peng raised his head and laughed, with tears streaming down his face. "Kill the divine cult. That's such a big statement. Let me see, there are no cows in the sky." Suddenly his face changed and he said fiercely. : "If that's the case, you might as well jump into the sea. It's easier to seek death than to destroy the cult."
"Haha." Wu Gen also laughed, "The corporal heard the Tao and laughed. Not laughing is not enough for the Tao. People like you, even if they are wronged in the divine religion, they only dare to act like a mouse. Hiding in the gutter and surviving.
How could we know that there are people with strong ambitions and noble minds who refuse to succumb to the dignity of others, and will move forward even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them. "
Ran Peng sneered when he heard this, "What a man of great ambition, so I will send you to Kuntianzhou. I'm afraid that when you get there, you will be locked up like a pig, and your ambition will be reduced to nothing. The sky is not working, and the earth and the earth are not responding. I have seen people like you a lot, so don't pretend to be in front of me."
"Then let's wait and see. If I bring Erlang back again, are you willing to help me." Wu Gen said solemnly, not moved by the other person's words at all.
"Okay, if you really dare to lead people to fight against the God's Cult, so what if I help you." Ran Peng stared at Wu Gen not to be outdone.
Suddenly, Sha Jin shouted in panic, "No, there are several ships from the cult in front of us."
Ran Peng's expression changed, he jumped on the bow and looked into the distance. Sure enough, at the foot of the statue, there were three white warships, one of which was already heading in his direction.
"Damn it, what kind of evil did you hit today? Why did the God's Cult send people here?" Ran Peng cursed loudly, turned around and shouted to the sailors, "A bunch of pigs, what are you doing in a daze? They turned around and ran away, are you going to The god’s religion sank the boat and fed it to the fish.”
Everyone on the boat became nervous and quickly turned the boat around. But just now the ship was rushing towards the Dingyi Gate with all its strength, but it was so easy to turn around in such a hurry. After making a big circle, the ship finally sailed away from Dingyi Gate.
After such a delay, the Divine Cult's ship had already sailed a lot closer, and someone could be vaguely seen on the deck looking this way.
"Fuck you guys, get ready to fight. Activate the formations on the boat and get ready to enter the water." Ran Peng looked ferocious and greeted everyone loudly. He took the lead in picking up a harpoon and said, "Throw it into the Lingyu. Now is not the time to save money."
Soon, the sailor activated the formation on the ship, and the ship was faintly covered with a layer of white light.
Ran Peng stared hard at the pursuing ship of the Divine Cult, with some pain in his face, "It must have been fired this time, or else the Divine Cult was blocked here by chance. The ship has been in the water for a long time. , I am afraid that the spiritual jade wasted is worth the harvest of this business." He turned to Sha Jin and shouted: "You show me the right direction, if you can avoid entering the water, don't enter the water."
The people of the Divine Religion seemed to be aware of Ran Peng's intention, and the ship's speed obviously accelerated a lot. Gradually, the distance between the two boats shortened little by little, and even the faces of the people on the boat could be seen clearly.
