The sea area between the Southeast Shi State and the East Sea Fishery State was known as the East Sea and the Hell on Earth.
There were all kinds of natural disasters deep in the East Sea, as well as countless sea beasts.
Fishermen with decades of experience only dared to move in the sea near the mainland. Unless they didn't want to live, they wouldn't sail to the deepest part of the sea to look for excitement.
Of course.
The more dangerous the area, the more opportunities and treasures there would be. Because no one had set foot in it for many years, it had never been discovered.
Although the martial artists on the mainland knew that the East Sea was a big unexploited treasure, they didn't dare to search for it easily. After all, as land animals, once they came to the sea, they would panic even if they were powerful.
For thousands of years, countless human beings had died in the depths of the East Sea. Even strong masters like Wu Huang and Half-Saints were not spared. It was said that Wu Sheng had also died thousands of years ago, so he put on an even more terrifying appearance!
Swish!
In the blue sky, an ancient sailing ship emitting a desolate aura was moving at a high speed, leaving a faint light behind.
It was mainly taken from a distance, so it didn't look special. But once it was taken up close, the warship traveled dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.
"What just flew past?"
Many fishing boats were fishing in the sea near the mainland. There were also many merchant ships and passenger ships. When they saw the light flash across the sky, they all widened their eyes.
They only saw the light in the air, but couldn't see what it was at all.
"It's too fast!"
Sitting in front of the mast, Ye Xingchen pressed his hands to his hair and was greatly shocked.
At first, he didn't take the ancient warship seriously. It wasn't until he started it that he realized that even the high-level Wu Sheng might not be able to catch up with it!
In the cockpit.
The crippled old man was also in disbelief. When he gradually calmed down, he made a professional judgment. "Jun Patriarch, at the current speed, we can reach the East Sea Fishery State in half a month at the earliest."
"Half a month?"
Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, "It's a bit too slow."
"…"
The crippled old man almost fell to the ground.
Since ancient times, it had taken a year and a half to reach the East Sea Fishery State. But he said it was too slow!
What was more, there was no danger on the way. Otherwise, they would get lost in the sea or die in the ship.
"Senior, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Luo."
"Roger?"
"Luo Zhilong."
"Oh."
Jun Patriarch said with a smile, "Senior Luo, I'm counting on you to command the expedition to the East Ocean Fishery Province."
"Jun Patriarch!"
Luo Zhilong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This Luo does not deserve the title of Senior."
Jun Changxiao and the Sect of All Times were the hottest topics on the Falling Star Continent. Although his cultivation was not very high, he had naturally heard of them.
If he were to be evaluated, he could be described as a 'ferocious person' or a 'ferocious sect'!
To be honest, it was exactly because of that that Luo Zhilong volunteered to join Jun Changxiao's recruitment because his intuition told him that the guy could take him to the East Ocean Fishery!
"Then let's call him Old Luo."
"Alright!"
"Senior Luo, what happened to your right leg?"
The System, "…"
Luo Zhilong was not bothered by the fact that he had called him Senior Luo again. Instead, he said bitterly, "Decades ago, when I returned from the East Sea Fishery Province, I accidentally entered the territory of the sea beasts. Although I was lucky enough to survive, one of my legs was bitten off."
That was right.
His right leg was a prosthetic, so he was limping.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Ziji, and the others had already captured Luo Zhilong with their spiritual thoughts after he showed up, but they did not ask as directly as the Patriarch did.
"It seems that …"
Jun Changxiao said, "The route to the East Sea Fishery Province is very dangerous?"
"It's more than dangerous."
Luo Zhilong recalled his experience, and deep fear appeared on his face. He said, "It's practically hell!"
Jun Changxiao said with great interest, "If it's hell, why do you still want to go there, Senior Luo?"
"Because …"
After a brief silence, Luo Zhilong clenched his fists and said, "To find my best friend!"
There was a story.
There was definitely a story.
It would take time to go to the East Sea Fishery Province, and there was nothing to do. So, Jun Changxiao sat down and asked, "Senior Luo, can you tell us your story?"
Luo Zhilong's emotions were obviously out of control. His face turned from pain to ferocity. Then, he struggled to raise his head and said, "Jun Patriarch, if your friend was in danger, would you choose to run away?"
"No, I wouldn't."
Jun Changxiao replied.
With his character, if his friend was in danger, he would definitely not run away. Instead, he would directly grab his weapon and fight with the enemy until the end of the world. Even if he could not defeat the enemy, he would find a way to help his friend resolve the danger.
"I ran away."
Luo Zhilong lowered his head again.
He clenched his fists so hard that his fingernails dug into his flesh.
Going to the East Sea Fishery Province and being trapped in the territory of the sea monsters was like a nightmare that tormented him. Back then, he abandoned his best friend to run away, but it always haunted the deepest part of his heart, making him suffer and torment.
"You couldn't defeat the enemy?" Jun Changxiao asked.
"The enemy was too strong. If I ran a little slower, I would have turned into bones by now," Luo Zhilong said.
Jun Changxiao said, "If you couldn't turn the tide in adversity, the result of rushing forward was that both of you would die. It was better to run away. After all, where there is life, there is hope."
"Alas."
Luo Zhilong shook his head and said, "I thought so at that time, too. But after I came back, every time I thought that my best friend was in danger because of me, my conscience would ache. A heart-wrenching pain!"
Jun Changxiao said, "It seems that you and your best friend have become close friends."
Luo Zhilong did not understand what his best friend meant. He said solemnly, "We grew up together. We went to the sea together and fished together. We are closer than brothers."
"You volunteered this time to avenge your best friend?"
"Yes!"
"Can you defeat the enemy?"
"No!"
"You still want to go even if you can't defeat the enemy? Aren't you courting death?"
"Back then, I abandoned my best friend and left, which made me suffer for decades. Now that I have a chance to go to the East Sea Fishery Province again, it doesn't matter even if I die!"
Jun Changxiao was silent.
The old man's eyes already revealed that he was going to die.
"If I hadn't come to Bohai City and recruited navigators, would you have gone to the East Sea Fishery Province?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because with my current state and cultivation, I will be buried in the sea before I reach the East Sea Fishery Province."
"You are still scared of death."
"No!"
Luo Zhilong grew agitated and roared in a hoarse voice, "I just don't want to die in the sea. If I have to die, I want to die in the East Sea Fishery Province so that I can meet my best friend in the afterlife!"
Brother!
Even if this world has the function of reincarnation, your best friend would've already been reincarnated, married, and had children after decades!
"Got it."
Jun Changxiao stood up and said, "Old Luo, as long as you take me to the East Sea Fishery Province, I will make you …" Pausing for a moment, he said solemnly, "Die a worthy death!"
"…"
Outside of the cockpit, Li Qingyang's lips were slightly twitching.
The old man was obviously too sentimental and had already made up his mind to die. Why was the Patriarch adding fuel to the fire instead of actively persuading him to live on?
Although he was gradually becoming an infrastructure maniac, his kindness had always persisted.
In a world where martial arts were respected, how ridiculous it was to be kind. How many people would say that he was a moron? But this was Li Qingyang. No matter how Jun Changxiao led him astray, he always adhered to his original heart and stuck to his beliefs!
Please give your applause to the second disciple of the Sect of All Times.
