Several hundred nautical miles away from Cloud Island, Li Yunmu was waiting for Zheng Quan's group. At that moment, they were suffering unspeakably. As the old saying goes, the more mountains you climb, the more dangerous you will encounter.
Zheng Quan's group's luck wasn't very good. This was only their first time going out to sea, but in the short span of ten days, they had encountered endless troubles.
First, they encountered the North Sea's most famous and frequent changes in ocean currents and weather. The changes in ocean currents were actually caused by the water level of different depths flowing backwards, thus causing large tsunami-like storms and waves.
They would appear several times a day in North Blue, at least once or twice, and at most a dozen times a month. There was no pattern to it. This was the reason why the fishermen of North Blue didn't leave the area within one nautical mile of the island unless they had a ship constructed from sufficiently sturdy materials.
To a large extent, it was because of the infamous ocean currents in North Blue.
Zheng Quan's financial resources weren't bad. As a newcomer of Cangyue Sect, it was already very eye-catching for him to be able to get his hands on a high-rise ship. Relying on this sturdy high-rise ship, they weren't afraid of the unpredictable ocean currents.
But even so, in the past ten days, they had encountered four or five ocean currents, which made everyone feel intoxicated by their luck.
In the past two days, the ocean currents finally disappeared with great difficulty.
Zheng Quan's group didn't have time to rejoice when they encountered something even more terrifying than ocean currents in North Blue. They had been targeted by an enormous sea beast.
Their luck wasn't good at all.
Under normal circumstances, some of the more powerful and older giant beasts didn't like to find trouble with humans!
History had repeatedly told them that humans were also a species that should not be trifled with. It was very possible that if they were not careful, those humans who seemed to be the same size could actually be a terrifying human powerhouse. This was an identification method that did not differentiate strength based on body size.
Many of the older and more powerful giant beasts didn't want to provoke humans, nor did they want to pay attention to them.
However, since there were older almighty beasts, there were also young almighty beasts that had just reached adulthood. It was obvious that this almighty beast was targeting the latter.
Only the young giant beasts would occasionally leave the deep sea layer and float to the surface to play or breathe. They had just ascended to the top, so they were young and powerful. They also had hearts that were unwilling to be left alone.
The one that had provoked Zheng Quan's ship was a young beast that happened to be a hundred meters tall. It was a gigantic octopus. Its main body was thirty meters tall, and its eight tentacles were a hundred meters long and as thick as pillars.
At this moment, the Giant Claw Octopus was chasing after the ship with great interest. Occasionally, it would hit the ship with its two-meter-thick tentacles.
Fortunately, the material used to build the ship was iron pistil wood.
Furthermore, for the sake of safety, Zheng Quan didn't put much thought into this ship. It was a thicker ship, and in terms of defense, it was 50% stronger than an ordinary ship.
Of course, the price was twice that of an ordinary ship.
Fortunately, Zheng Quan was not stingy when it came to defense. Otherwise, they would have been finished long ago.
However, even though there was no danger for the time being, if the ship continued to be attacked by this giant beast, it would be finished sooner or later!
"There are still a few hundred nautical miles left. Just hold on a little longer, and we will reach Cloud Island soon." This was what everyone was thinking, and it was also where their hope lay.
Zheng Quan, Wang Yan, and Luo Honghua, the three descenders, experienced the dangers of the Origin World for the first time.
It wasn't just humans. In this world, as long as it contained life, it would be far more terrifying than their original home, Earth.
However, creatures that had reached the giant beast level might not be able to speak, but their intelligence was no less than that of humans. Zheng Quan and the others had hope in their hearts.
How could the Giant Claw Octopus not know?
Of course it knew. It didn't want its prey, which it had been tormenting for so long, to escape just as it was about to destroy the ship.
It began to exert more force. It wanted to devour its prey before the ship approached Cloud Island.
"Humans, delicious snacks. Boom!" The Giant Claw Octopus's tentacles struck the ship's hull.
…
On Cloud Island, Li Yunmu looked at the horizon in the direction of Blue Moon Island and asked with a frown, "How many days has it been?"
[It's already the seventeenth day,] the system replied.
With the normal speed of the ship, it would have taken them thirteen days to reach the destination. If it was slower, it would have taken fifteen days.
Since it was the seventeenth day, Li Yunmu didn't think too much about it. Something had definitely happened to the other party, and he could only hope that it was only a small problem. Otherwise, all the schemes he had plotted against Zheng Quan and the other descenders would have been useless.
It has to be known that the reason Li Yunmu hadn't dealt with Zheng Quan wasn't because he was benevolent, but because he wanted to learn some secrets from the other party.
Perhaps the secrets they learned on Blue Moon Island would speed up his plan. This was his true intention.
"Elder brother, do you like the sea?"
While Li Yunmu was thinking about this matter, a timid voice came from behind him. There was no need to think about it to know that it was the little girl he had frequently encountered in the past few days when he came out of seclusion.
The little girl was afraid of him and revered him.
Perhaps it could be said that all the families on the island were like this. They were respectful and afraid of Li Yunmu, who had come from the outer seas, as well as a hint of gratefulness.
But most of them were worried. They didn't know what kind of unstable changes this outsider would bring to them, because they already knew that Li Yunmu was a physical flux expert.
On Blue Moon Island, physical martial artists were only the lowest level of cultivators, but on this small island, they were no different from "gods".
No one dared to anger Li Yunmu.
Even if the natives of this world were born with the strength of a few oxen, and the most powerful ones had the strength of nine oxen, this was because there was a huge disparity between a physical expert who had learned physical skills and a physical expert who could erupt with pure brute force. Regardless of how many oxen Li Yunmu possessed, he was still a physical expert.
"Yes, I like the sea, I like its vastness …" When Li Yunmu heard the timid voice behind him, the frown on his face melted like snow.
He was suddenly somewhat fond of the simple atmosphere of this place.
"Tutu, everyone else is afraid of me, so why aren't you afraid of me?" Li Yunmu turned around and sized up the little girl with a slight smile.
