The sergeants were still cheering and talking about the battle just now with relish.
When Lu Ran saw the "eye" on the side of the ship, he was stunned for a moment, then looked back fiercely, turned into a black shadow, dived into the bottom of the sea, and escaped.
Lu Ran recognized that look. It was not a look of fear, but a look of revenge, as if to say, just wait for me.
The body of the tiger dragon was in pieces, and gradually sank into the deep sea, leaving only another large area of scarlet blood, staining the sea area red, and it would not fade away for a long time.
Li Huajuan changed into the same plain clothes as Lu Ran, and lay half-lying on the deck chair, with a pale face.
She seemed to have been drained of energy by those "few needles" and lost her mind for a moment, just staring into the distance.
Star Officer Gu Xing looked up at the sun approaching noon, then looked down at the unfathomable sea water, and began to urge Lu Ran: "Xiao Haizi, think about that island again, is there anything you can do about it?" , so that it can appear in time.”
Lu Ran nodded and said calmly: "Continue going south."
Gu Xingzhen gave the order and the fleet continued south.
As soon as the boat started sailing, Lu Ran's heart calmed down. The boat's hull swayed in the sea, making him feel unusually comfortable, as if someone had returned to a warm home after a tiring day.
It seemed that after he first set foot on the island, he somehow fell asleep.
At that time, Lu Ran was still a four-year-old child who didn't understand anything. He went fishing with his grandfather on the sea, and when he was passing near Shuiluo Pass, he accidentally fell into the sea because of his naughty nature.
He shouted desperately, but Grandpa and the Haizi were busy closing the net, and the loud chants covered everything up. He kept struggling in the sea water, and soon he found that he seemed to be born to swim.
He swam and swam in the sea, swam across the huge wall of water, and swam from one sea to another.
He didn't remember how long he swam, maybe only a quarter of an hour, maybe a whole day. He just remembered that it was getting dark that day, and he suddenly found that he was in a world with nothing but sea water.
And the sea water is no longer a beautiful blue, but an endless deep black that seems to surround itself.
Deep, deep black.
He cried out "Wow", trying to break the equally terrifying silence around him.
But I heard a long roar in the distance.
He cried again, and the thing buzzed again.
As if he had found a savior, Lu Ran started to cry loudly. Every time he cried, the long cry seemed to follow He, and he kept singing.
Then his memory became a little blurry. It seemed like there was a big fish or a big bird. He still remembered that the big fish had blue eyes. It swung its tail and took him flying through the moon. He still remembered that The feathers of the big birds are fiery red. They have left the sun behind them. They still remember that there was a big turtle that could talk...
I still remember that as soon as he set foot on the island, he fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he was in Grandpa's cabin. Everything after that became a cycle. He always fell asleep on the island and woke up in the cabin. He always swam and swam in the water. Until something took him to the island.
It seems that he did not find the island, but the island found him.
Lu Ran closed his eyes and thought hard, his heart trembled, and he suddenly thought of this. He shouted at Gu Xing: "Follow me!"
Lu Ran jumped straight into the sea.
Almost at the same moment, something huge in the deep sea, as if it had been inspired, slightly poked its head out of the sea, exposed its body, and slowly came here from the sea.
A black island.
The island of nothingness.

The Utopian Island slowly floated up, stirring the entire sea area.
"What is a 'monster eater'?"
At this moment, Peng Ba had no time to care about anything else. At such an important time, he could only stare at the little beast in the cage in front of him.
The little white beast named Qingwu's eyes were all gone, and there was only an unspeakable kindness in his eyes. His body was still very weak, and he could barely stand and stretched out his nose to take a sniff.
The dense aroma of the green black in the sea water is getting stronger and stronger, but at this time, the aroma is still mixed with a trace of blood.
It's the smell of Peng Daxing.
"Speaking of eating, I am really hungry." Qingwu held his head high and kept his mouth still. He made a voice that sounded like a girl's from somewhere in his body and asked Peng Ba: "Little tiger, what are you doing? Let’s get something delicious to eat.”
Peng Ba was very surprised. This great immortal had been locked up and slept for thousands of years. The first thing he did when he woke up was to beg for food.
"I have been living without food for many years. I feed on sea water. Fellow Taoist, if you want to eat something, I will go look for it." He had to deal with it.
"I want to eat you. I haven't eaten big tiger meat for a long time. I miss you." Qingwu chuckled.
Peng Ba was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back: "Fellow Taoist, don't be joking, don't be joking."
"No kidding, no kidding, little tiger boy, stick your head into the cage and let me take a bite, otherwise, how can I have the strength to get the elixir?"
Qingwu licked his lips. It didn't look like he was joking.
Hearing the word "take pills", Peng Ba blinked his big watery eyes. Without any further hesitation, he rolled up his sleeves, raised his wrist, and shined his other hand on his wrist. There was a claw. After all, it was a tiger. With his sharp claws, he tore off a bloody piece of flesh and threw it into the Sleeping Immortal Cage.
Qingwu was not hesitant and swallowed it cleanly in three mouthfuls. Its figure immediately became plump, and its snow-white hairs bloomed one by one like epiphyllums that suddenly bloomed at night.
"The meat of a thousand-year-old dragon and a thousand-year-old tiger is so delicious." He smacked his lips.
"Do you want more?" Peng Ba was a little dumbfounded.
"Little tiger boy, why are you wronged? Your flesh and blood has fed this great immortal. You should feel honored. Wipe your tears quickly. Now, help me protect the law and I will give you the soul-opening pill." Qingwu stepped forward. Half a step, he stood firmly.
"Ouch...you drive it for me?" Peng Ba didn't understand again. The scene he thought about day and night, the soul-opening pill, must have been a torture like cramping and pulling out marrow, it must have been cruel and made him cry.
And then this Qingwu said it as easily as eating a meal?
"Otherwise? Are you going to wait until you disembowel me and find nothing, and then kill yourself to apologize to your idiot master? Little tiger boy, you are just here to guard the soul pill, and you know nothing else, right? ?”
Before Peng Ba came back to his senses, he could only nod his head, opened his mouth wide, and muttered: "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
"You don't need to know too much. I just ask you, after getting the soul pill, will you let me go?"
"That...that's natural. The Immortal Lord also has an explanation."
"That's it, I've been trapped here for three thousand years. How does this soul pill compare to freedom?"
"Thank you, Great Immortal, for giving me the elixir!" Peng Ba finally woke up, knelt down, and bowed his head.
"I need some time. Please keep an eye on it for me. If anything goes wrong, your damn master will not let you go."
"If I can't get out, you won't be able to live either."
Peng Ba stood up and saw that a Qingyun had wrapped the green crow, and finally it was like a small sun burning in the water, rolling away.
Qingwu was in the middle of a cloud of light, with her limbs together and her eyes closed. On her forehead, a crack suddenly opened up. After it opened to the size of an ordinary person's eye, light gushed out from the crack continuously, as if something was about to break away from it.
Qingwu is in a state of "falling soul" at this time, which is somewhat similar to human childbirth.
Peng Ba knew that what he had been waiting for, imagining and resenting for a thousand years was about to be at his fingertips.
He thought of that year when his master's last remnant soul came to look for him. He used up his last bit of strength to stroke his head and said, "Xiaohu, remember, you will never appear in this world until the soul elixir comes out."
What he said was not to show up in this world, that is, not to avenge him, not to die in vain.
What a cool and unrestrained master. With a gentle wave of his hand, he released the surging water. The water was imprisoned, and the sea and sky were blocked.
In this way, in this pass, his little mount can hide in the world for thousands of years and survive to this day.
Peng Ba was about to cry again. He thought of the last moment. The master smiled softly at him, then turned around and turned into a rainbow, disappearing into nothing.
