After killing the deep-sea monster, the four of them didn't stay in the deep sea any longer. Instead, they left immediately and returned to the sky.
When they appeared again, it was already late at night.
The sky was full of stars and the clouds had dispersed a little. The moonlight shone on the surface of the sea. Although the moon was bright, it was still dark at night.
The four of them were lucky. After flying in the air for a while, they found a large island. Dong Huashun checked and confirmed that it was just an ordinary island. Then, the four of them entered the island to rest.
After this battle, the four of them needed to adjust themselves. Dong Huashun had been suffering from the internal suppression of the deep-sea monster. The suppression was very strong. If Dong Huashun hadn't been using the Heaven-Suppressing Tower to support himself, his other Fate Wheels might have been destroyed. The surrounding barriers were full of toxins. The consequences were unimaginable. In addition, the last attack consumed a lot of Dong Huashun's strength.
Ceng Ping consumed little energy. She had only used a few moves and consumed less than 20% of her strength. Now, she was healing Lu An.
Lu An was the one who consumed the most energy among the four of them. Just using Breaking Dawn twice consumed nearly 60% of his strength. In addition, he was weakened by the Realm of Demon Gods and used Deep Ice. Therefore, he consumed more than 60% of his strength.
Not only that, but Lu An also suffered serious internal injuries. The multiple screams of the Deep Sea Mystical Beast had damaged Lu An's internal organs. Fortunately, Lu An had the Return to Heaven technique, which allowed him to heal quickly. Coupled with Ceng Ping's healing, Lu An's injuries were quickly healed.
Next, they had to rest. They had to wait until everyone's strength was fully recovered before they continued to move forward. Otherwise, it would be more dangerous.
Lu An sat on a stone. He turned to look at Sheng'er, who kept her head down. She hadn't said a word since they entered the island.
Looking at Sheng'er, Lu An pondered for a while and didn't know what to say. But whether it was him, Dong Huashun or Ceng Ping, the three of them knew clearly that Sheng'er must be feeling terrible.
Yes, Sheng'er was indeed feeling terrible. And this pain came from self-blame.
From the moment they entered the Second Northern Sea Region, whether it was the battle with the three birds in the sky or the battle with the strange beasts in the deep sea, she didn't help at all.
This made her feel very sad. She had been rescued by the union and had been groomed by the union to have her current strength. She was even known as the descendant of the Mystic God Race, and the two union chiefs had high hopes for her. She also thought that she was very powerful and had been working hard to cultivate. She felt that she could be of use at a critical moment.
However, in reality, there was nothing she could do. She would tremble in the face of battle.
Ceng Ping looked at Sheng 'er. She had to admit that Sheng' er was indeed very beautiful. Such a beautiful woman would always be pitied. She also knew about Sheng 'er's background. She had never been trained as a Celestial Master who needed to fight since she was young, so she did not have any actual combat experience. Although she now had great power, she was still mentally no different from a commoner.
This was like asking a girl who had been studying since she was young to suddenly pick up a knife and go to the battlefield to kill enemies. In the face of life and death, not many people could directly adapt. Therefore, it was normal for Sheng 'er to have such a reaction.
Lu An turned to look at Ceng Ping. Ceng Ping was slightly startled. She nodded slightly, got up, and sat down beside Sheng 'er.
Seeing Ceng Ping's arrival, Sheng 'er's body trembled. She said in a panic, "Sister Ceng …"
Ceng Ping nodded and said, "How do you feel?"
Sheng 'er's heart ached, and there were obvious tears in her eyes. She lowered her head and said softly, "I … am very scared."
"This is human nature." Ceng Ping smiled and said, "We are also scared. It would be abnormal if we weren't. It's just that we have experienced enough and have slowly adapted to fear. We can suppress it. Don't worry. After this mission, you will definitely become a brave person. "
Sheng 'er's body trembled slightly. She looked at Ceng Ping and said in a trembling voice, "Really?"
"Of course." Ceng Ping smiled and patted Sheng 'er's back. She said, "Don't worry. Take it slow. The next time you encounter a battle, start by practicing. No matter how hard you fight, it doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about attracting the attention of strange beasts. We will protect you. "
Hearing Ceng Ping's words, Sheng 'er nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely fight next time!"
Ceng Ping's smile grew wider. She chatted with Sheng 'er for a while before leaving. In fact, Sheng 'er was most worried that she would be hated by the others in the team because of her weakness. She felt very good that Ceng Ping had comforted her.
Ceng Ping returned to the side and sat down. After a few breaths, Dong Huashun walked to Ceng Ping's side and sat down on a rock. He said softly, "I didn't expect you to be so good at comforting people."
Ceng Ping frowned. She turned to look at Dong Huashun and asked, "Why? Am I that tough in your heart?"
Dong Huashun was stunned. He quickly shook his head and waved his hand to explain, "No, no, no! That's not what I meant! What I meant was … you are more gentle and lovely than I thought! "
After hearing Dong Huashun's words, Ceng Ping's frown did not loosen. Instead, it became even tighter. Ceng Ping had always been a headstrong woman. To say that she was gentle and lovely was simply an insult to her character.
Looking at Ceng Ping's expression, Dong Huashun immediately knew that he had said something wrong again. He immediately pulled a long face and did not know what to say. Suddenly, he thought of something. He quickly turned to look at Lu An and asked Lu An for help!
The leader had so many women. He must have many ways to deal with them!
Lu An, who was watching the show from the side, was stunned when Dong Huashun looked at him like this. Looking at Dong Huashun's pleading eyes, Lu An could only shrug helplessly. He turned around and pretended not to see anything.
Seeing this, Dong Huashun felt even more hopeless. He was pursuing Ceng Ping. Although he did not say it explicitly, he had been trying to get close to Ceng Ping to show his affection. But for some reason, he felt that the more he did, the more mistakes he made. Not only did he not close the distance between the two of them, but he was getting further and further away.
If this went on, when would he be able to move Ceng Ping's heart …
In the end, Dong Huashun could only lie on the grass helplessly and play dead. His eyes were empty and lost.

The next day, at 9 a.m.
The clouds and mist had basically dispersed, leaving only a few lonely clouds in the sky that had yet to disperse. The sunlight was very abundant, and it made people feel very warm when it shone on the island.
After a night and a morning of recuperation, Lu An's strength had recovered to about 90%. Although he had not returned to his peak state, he was almost there. Xu Ying only had a month's time. Once she returned to the Thousand Light Sect, it was almost impossible to rescue her. Ten days had passed so far. There were only twenty days left. They must hurry up and not waste time.
It was worth mentioning that the four of them did not give up on the crystal core of the deep-sea strange beast yesterday. After all, such an extremely rare deep-sea strange beast's crystal core was likely to be very valuable. Before leaving yesterday, Dong Huashun and Ceng Ping took it out. It was intact and not damaged. However, the size of this crystal core was also very large. It was several feet high. After putting it into the ring, there was not much space left.
Under the sunlight, Lu An finally opened his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he stood up and said to the three people who had already rested, "Let's go!"
The three of them nodded in unison, and the four of them flew into the air again.
Yesterday, they encountered two Rank Eight strange beasts, a total of four. Such a high probability and crisis made the four of them more cautious and no longer dared to enter the deep sea easily. After all, if there was not only one deep-sea strange beast yesterday, but a group of them, they were likely to all die.
The four of them were still preparing to fly in the air and look for fluctuations on the surface of the sea.
"If only those strange beasts yesterday could speak our human language." Dong Huashun said helplessly, "This way, we can catch one and ask, maybe we can get some information."
Lu An nodded slightly. He was right. After all, they had just arrived. The Rank Eight strange beasts that could live in this sea area must more or less know some information about the Sea Fairy and the Heart of Earth.
However, although Lu An had seen many Sea Strange Beasts that could speak human language, in fact, most of the strange beasts could not speak, even if it was above the Rank Six. The reason was very simple. These Sea Strange Beasts did not need to learn at all because they would not interact with humans. They could not even transform into human form.
The Sea Strange Beasts that could speak human language were basically some of the races that could be ranked in the upper class. For example, some of the second and third class races would also have some clansmen that could speak human language. After all, these big races needed diplomacy. It was very important to choose a common language, and the human language was a very mature language.
Lu An's eyes narrowed. The Second North Sea … Were there any races that were below the third class?
