"Captain, you still have such skills!" Cui Kai stared at the ship in disbelief.
"It doesn't matter if you're not skilled in craftsmanship, but you can make do with it anyway." Zhou Yang felt a little guilty. The ship almost sank as soon as he entered the water. If he said it, he would be laughed at by this guy.
"Not bad."
"By the way, now that you have broken through to the Tianyuan Mirror, you should be able to fly with a weapon, right? Also, do you know who is chasing you?" Zhou Yang hurriedly changed the subject.
"If it's outside, that's no problem, but the gravity here is too great and I can't fly at all. As for the people who are chasing me, there seem to be disciples from Bai Zongshan Guyin Villa, but they don't know each other.
There are also those from Taiqing Sect and Dashun Trading Company. We had some grudges before, but they were not mortal enemies. However, in the last competition, I killed the disciples of both factions, so the feud is settled.
Hehe, they were unlucky because they didn't know I had broken through, so I killed three of them in a row without warning. But then there were too many people and I had no choice but to run away.
By the way, there is also a perverted guy named Long Tengyun, who is only at the peak of Lingtai cultivation, but I am no match for him. I think I will have a fight with you!" At the end of the sentence, Cui Kai was a little depressed.
Zhou Yang was shocked. Keshan was right. Long Tengyun was indeed powerful. He must be careful when encountering him in the future.
In addition, he also had other ideas.
Speaking of which, he didn't have a deep friendship with Cui Kai. They were just from the same sect. They had the same cultivation level before and recognized him as the captain.
But now that Cui Kai has made a breakthrough, he will have dissatisfaction if he can't protect everything. The secret realm is no different than the outside world. As long as no one is discovered about killing fellow sect members, there is no problem at all.
Although something strange flashed through his heart, Zhou Yang still said in a lecturing tone: "You boy, this is a typical example of being a good guy after getting an advantage. If I see people from these sects again in the future, I will fight you to the death."
"Hehe, haven't we met you now? If the two of us join forces, it won't be a problem to beat a group of them." Cui Kai said nonchalantly.
"No, I'm no match for you now. You can defeat both of us! Also, I have to call you senior brother from now on." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"Okay, don't laugh at me. I know myself. Even if I break through, I can't beat you. Who doesn't know you? You have a lot of cards. Don't call me senior brother, I can't bear it!" Cui Kai curled his lips.
Zhou Yang has been paying attention to his expression. Judging from his speech and behavior, he hasn't found any signs yet.
However, you must be on guard against others and never let down your vigilance.
"Haha, you praise me." Zhou Yang smiled.
"My captain, why are you here? Have you seen any other disciples?" Cui Kai asked.
"I've met Senior Sister Tong, Xi Danjin, and Meng Dong."
"Oh, where are they?" Cui Kai's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Then we got separated again..." Zhou Yang briefly told what happened before.
"Besieged by more than a thousand demonic beasts!" Only halfway through the sentence, Cui Kai's mouth went dry and his mouth opened wide.
"Listen to me!" Zhou Yang rolled his eyes at him.
"Then Senior Sister, Dan Jin and the others..." Cui Kai still looked worried.
"Alas, they were all washed away, so we can only resign ourselves to fate." Zhou Yang sighed.
"I hope they're fine!" Cui Kai frowned.
He was often besieged by monsters along the way, but at most there were only seven or eight of them.
A few dozen people were besieged by thousands of demonic beasts, and it was simply unbelievable that they could escape.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt something was wrong, and then looked at Cui Kai with a strange look.
This kid actually called me Danjin, even omitting his last name. There must be something wrong with this.
"By the way, why don't you leave when you have the boat? Are you waiting for me?" It was useless to worry, Cui Kai put away his sad face and asked seriously.
Zhou Yang suddenly discovered that after Cui Kai broke through to the Tianyuan realm, his personality changed a lot. He became more talkative and laughing than before. He really could compete with the lively and cheerful Xi Danjin.
"Yes, I'm just waiting for you. Without you, the ship can't leave." Zhou Yang said with a half-smile.
"Real or false." Cui Kai's face was full of disbelief.
"It's really not a joke. Take a closer look at this boat." Zhou Yang pointed at the boat.
Cui Kai circled the boat, tapping it with his hands from time to time. In fact, he is also a layman and can't see anything wrong with it. In his eyes, this is a real small wooden boat.
"Have a look in the cabin." Zhou Yang originally expected him to come up with ideas, but he turned out to be a foodie too.
Cui Kai jumped into the cabin and felt his feet slip as soon as he landed on the ground. He immediately squatted on his butt.
"Be gentle, don't damage the boat!" Zhou Yang shouted.
"Water has entered the boat. Is the boat exposed?" Cui Kai bared his teeth in pain and asked strangely.
"Well, you finally figured it out. Tell me, why is it dewy?"
"You don't have to ask, there is a gap!" Cui Kai rolled his eyes. Does he really look like an idiot?
"Is there any way?" Zhou Yang asked solemnly. At this time, he could only ask without shame.
"I heard that you need to apply it with lime and tung oil and let it dry." Cui Kai finally gave a more reliable suggestion.
"Do you have lime and tung oil?"
"No." Cui Kai spread his hands.
"That's not in vain!" Zhou Yang said angrily.
"What should we do? How about getting a raft, that's easy." Cui Kai suggested.
Zhou Yang ignored him and lowered his head to think again.
Cui Kai felt bored and stopped asking any more questions. He also frowned and thought hard about good ideas.
"I, I'm still hungry! Captain, is there anything to eat?" Cui Kai said weakly after a while.
"We'll have some barbecue later, go find some branches." Zhou Yang didn't even raise his head.
"Ah, we still have to go to the mountain. It's too far. I'm so hungry that I can't walk!" Cui Kai said aggrievedly.
"It's really troublesome, you eat two pieces of dried meat first!" Zhou Yang took out a few pieces of dried meat and threw them to Cui Kai, but after a moment he seemed to remember something and asked doubtfully: "Can't a master of Tianyuan be able to live without food?"
"That's what I said, but I have been hunted for countless days and nights, and my body has long been exhausted. How can I not be hungry?"
Cui Kai had already eaten all the food in his storage bag. When he saw the dried meat, his eyes lit up. He seemed really hungry.
He grabbed the dried meat, opened his mouth, took a few bites, and then drank a large gulp of wine.
"Barbecue, barbecue!" Zhou Yang muttered.
"It's all talk without practice, just fake tricks." Cui Kai teased when Zhou Yang could only talk but couldn't move.
"Barbecuing can produce oil. Is the animal oil useful?" Zhou Yang ignored him and kept talking to himself.
"Animal oil? Tung oil?" Cui Kai thought about it carefully and came to his senses. He took a big mouthful and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
"you……"
"I'm going to find branches and barbecue!" Cui Kai said loudly.
"Okay, you go find it, I'll be responsible for skinning it!" After saying that, Zhou Yang picked up the corpse of a huge monster beast from the treasure box.
Because the box had a preservation function, the monster seemed to have been killed just now, even its blood was fresh.
After a while, Cui Kai ran back carrying a large bundle of dead branches, breathing heavily from exhaustion.
"I asked, is your storage bag a decoration? Besides, just such a small bundle is not enough!" Zhou Yang was also convinced by him.
"I was so anxious that I forgot about it!" Cui Kai threw down the dead branch, turned around and ran back.
Zhou Yang shook his head helplessly and continued to remove the skin and wash the meat.
"When roasting like this, the animal fat will be wasted. It's best to have a pot. Put the fat part in the pot and boil it to produce more oil." Cui Kai set up a bonfire and suggested.
"I don't have a pot, but I have this thing!" Zhou Yang doesn't cook on weekdays, so where did he get the iron pot?
But he has an alchemy furnace, and it's the same as putting fat meat in the furnace. Anyway, he bought a new one, and the old one is useless.
"Oh, alchemy furnace? Do you know how to make alchemy?" Cui Kai glanced at Zhou Yang.
"Trophy!" Zhou Yang said casually and continued to play with it.
He didn't want outsiders to know that he could make alchemy.
"Oh." Cui Kai didn't ask in detail.
"Make another fire, you grill the meat, and I'll boil the oil!" Zhou Yang ordered.
"no problem."
Watching the fat in the alchemy furnace melting little by little, the two of them showed joy in their eyes.
One day later.
"Yes, yes. Do you want to apply some on the outside of the boat?" Cui Kai's hands were all oily, and there was a lot on his face.
The two of them had already anointed the boat with two full furnaces of animal oil.
"It will melt away if you soak it in sea water outside, but it can last for a while. There are a lot of monsters here. Let's boil some more for later use." Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, keep doing it."
The two boiled several more furnaces of animal oil, used some of it, and kept the rest for later use.
In order to prevent it from being quickly washed away by the sea water, Cui Kai also used magic power to deal with it, and Zhou Yang's fine fire technique also came in handy.
"Captain, your fire technique..." Cui Kai saw the clue.
"Okay, let's work first!" Zhou Yang waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.
"Work!" Cui Kai could only do it stupidly.
"Let's try it after it's dried." Zhou Yang said after everything was done.
"Okay, it should be fine."
The next morning, the pair pushed the greasy boat overboard.
The boat had been in the sea for more than two hours, but there was no sign of dew.
"After such a long time, I think it should be fine!" Cui Kai said happily.
"Wait a minute, I don't know where the end of this sea is, and it will be broken by then and there will be no time to repair it. By the way, let's take advantage of this time to get another small boat as a backup. In addition, roast some more animal meat and store it." Zhou Yang added commanded.
With Cui Kai joining them, they built a new boat within five days. Of course, it was much smaller than the previous one, and could accommodate up to three or four people.
"Shall we set off now?" Cui Kai asked after seeing everything was ready.
"Yes, it has been more than a month since I entered the secret realm. Don't worry, I haven't broken through yet!"
"You have accumulated a lot of experience! I have been at the peak of Lingtai for several years. Captain, you have only been at it for a few months. I am so envious!"
"I envy your size. Is it you who has accumulated so much experience or is it me? Come on, get on the boat and set off!" Zhou Yang scolded with a smile.
"okay!"
After Zhou Yang put the spare boat into the storage bag, the two of them no longer hesitated and jumped into the cabin, ready to set sail.
