Li Yang landed on the deck with a relaxed expression. Seeing the people around him staring at him as if he were a god, he smiled slightly and turned to look at Hu Bayi.
"Brother Hu, this waterspout is caused by rising sea vapor, right?"
Hu Bayi immediately realized what was happening and nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the remaining vein of the Southern Dragon entering the sea, so the sea energy is extremely abundant!"
"Because the sea vapor is too strong, the seawater cannot contain this enormous force. The sea vapor will rise into the sky, carrying the seawater upwards, creating a waterspout phenomenon!"
Li Yang nodded. "If we can disperse this sea vapor, the waterspout will subside, right?"
Hu Bayi was dumbfounded, shocked by Li Yang's outlandish idea, but still nodded.
"That's how it is in theory, but..."
Li Yang laughed and said, "As long as the theory holds true!"
Done.
Li Yang transformed into lightning once more and flew to the water wall.
After gathering his strength, a huge, transparent ball of light appeared on his fist!
Li Yang threw a punch!
The ten-meter-diameter sphere of light exploded, leaving numerous cracks in the surrounding space!
boom!
The enormous wall of water exploded like fireworks, instantly turning into a torrential downpour from the sky!
P.S.: Thank you to [晨晷] for the monthly pass!
Chapter 109 The Might of the Overlord! Jade Wings and Golden Scales, Treasures! The Souls of the Kingdom of Hatred be Forsaken!
The giant curtain of water in the sky turned into a torrential downpour!
The once raging sea has now calmed down!
on the deck.
Everyone stood there dumbfounded, unmoved even when they were soaked to the bone!
The expressions on everyone's faces clearly conveyed what true shock meant!
Li Yang descended from the sky.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
Fatty Wang rushed up to Li Yang, his chubby face contorted with excitement.
"Holy crap! Li Yang, holy crap! Awesome! You're amazing!"
"That punch was incredible! It wasn't human, it was godlike!"
Hu Bayi was equally excited, but unlike Fatty Wang, he didn't act wildly. Instead, he thought of the scene in Jingjue Ancient City where Li Yang transformed into a celestial general and slew the Chaos Serpent God with his sword.
This moment is just like that moment!
A godlike man!
Zhang Qiling quietly approached Hu Bayi's side, hesitant to speak, opening his mouth but unsure where to begin.
But deep within those calm and placid eyes lay an expression of extreme shock!
Hu Bayi glanced at Zhang Qiling and chuckled, "Little brother, were you scared?"
Zhang Qiling was silent for a moment, then nodded and softly uttered four words.
"Beyond imagination!"
Feeling that those four words were insufficient to describe his feelings at that moment, he added, "Unbelievable!"
Hu Bayi smiled and patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder.
"That's right. When you go on an adventure with Li Yang, you have to be prepared for him to destroy your worldview at any time!"
The downpour lasted for half an hour before gradually subsiding.
Li Yang's punch was so powerful that it not only shattered the sea air that had condensed in the ocean, but also dispersed the thick clouds in the sky!
The night sky is dotted with starlight.
Only then did everyone realize that it was evening.
then.
The voyage went very smoothly for two consecutive days.
During this time, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang also retrieved an ancient coffin from the sea, belonging to the Kingdom of Hatred. Inside the lid was a statue depicting a hexagram from the I Ching.
The earthquake shook the ground and the tremors spread for miles around!
Hu Bayi explained this as follows: "Zhen means thunder. Zhen means thunder above and below, implying continuous and overlapping thunder. The earth trembles and the sky shakes, frightening people so much that they tremble all over."
"Although the Zhen hexagram has the image of thunder, it does not simply refer to wind, rain, thunder, lightning, or earthquakes and collapses of the sky. This hexagram is related to the sixteen hexagrams of the Zhou Wenwang Pre-Heaven arrangement. It is difficult to understand its profound meaning by interpreting it solely through the 03 Post-Heaven Bagua that has survived to this day!"
Others think so.
Li Yang's expression was inscrutable.
The Zhen hexagram of the Kingdom of Hatred exists in the original storyline and seems to be extremely important information.
But in this world, does it perhaps have another meaning?
Li Yang thought of the two Devil Fruits he possessed, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which seemed to perfectly correspond to the divination of "shaking up and down, shocking hundreds of miles away"!
As the Trident sailed from west to east, it passed through a bottomless trench where the seabed suddenly rose high, like a giant underwater mountain range!
With this underwater mountain range as the boundary, the sea area further east is the destination of Li Yang and his group.
Coral Spiral!
The Coral Spiral looks like a sunken archipelago surrounded by the deep sea. The extreme drop in seabed depth causes the reefs inside the spiral to be very close to the sea surface, making it easy for ships to run aground!
The Coral Spiral consists of two large coral reefs, one inner and one outer, covering a vast area with a diameter of approximately one hundred nautical miles.
The area between the two spirals is sunken, filled with dense coral forests and trenches.
Because of the two underwater mountains surrounding this area, and the accumulation of sea air over tens of thousands of years, there are constant storms and thunderstorms in the air, which can cause electronic devices to malfunction frequently.
To find the exact location, Shirley Yang took out a black earthenware pot from her backpack. Inside was a pool of clear water, and in the water was a strangely shaped fish.
Si Tian Yu!
This fish is about the length of a finger, has an extremely large head, and is entirely red. It looks very strange, but it has one extremely magical characteristic!
The Sitian fish is born with the nature of responding to the moon. When it sees the clear and bright moonlight, it will always face east to absorb the essence of the moon!
Then Shirley Yang took out a red pill.
This substance is called "Taiyin Powder," a preservative pill mentioned by the ancient corpse, containing the essence of Taiyin!
The Mountain-Moving Taoist uses a specially prepared medicinal solution to soak the elixir, which allows the essence of Taiyin to re-gather within it.
The bright moon is Taiyin. Placing Taiyin in a glass cup is like having the bright moon on a plate, which will constantly drive the head of the celestial fish to arch towards the east with Taiyin in its face!
With accurate location information, and with Hu Bayi's "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique," they quickly found the area where Yin Fire was lurking in the southern dragon vein.
The shipwreck containing the Guixu Divination Mirror is called the "Mary Selene," a private luxury cruise ship belonging to a wealthy man in Southeast Asia.
The cruise ship veered off course during the storm, strayed into the coral reef, struck a reef, and sank. According to the sole survivor, the seabed where the Mary Cinnamon sank was illuminated by smoldering embers!
Hu Bayi exclaimed, "The dragon veins of the world are divided into three branches: north, south, and central. The northern and central dragons originate from the Kunlun Mountains. Although they are stable and solid, they have the appearance of being unshakable for ten thousand generations!"
"But when it comes to the dragon's power, the Southern Dragon is the greatest!"
"The Southern Dragon originates from Mount Emei, flows eastward through the mountains of Haiyan in Zhejiang Province into the sea, meanders through the Tsushima Strait between Japan and North Korea, and disappears without a trace!"
"That perfectly matches the saying 'A dragon appears only briefly, never to be seen again'!"
"But precisely because of this, Nanlong's whereabouts are elusive and his royal aura is insufficient. Only the most virtuous and wise can get close to Nanlong!"
Once the core of the Coral Spiral area is found, there are only two things left to do.
Collect pearls and search for the wreck of the Mary Shanks!
Ruan Hei took Gu Cai to collect pearls, while Hu Bayi, Zhang Qiling, and Lei Xianming went to search for the sunken Mary Shannu ship.
Li Yang is in charge of overall coordination!
Although Lei Xianming would do anything for money, he was still very resistant to putting his body in danger.
However, Hu Bayi and Zhang Qiling are not particularly good swimmers and need the help of an experienced sea wolf familiar with the seabed environment of the South China Sea.
Lei Xianming is the most suitable!
Lei Xianming looked at Li Yang with a mournful face and pleading.
"Mr. Li Yang, can you help me? I'm almost sixty years old, I'm scared to do something so dangerous!"
"My great-uncle went to sea here to dive for pearls, but he was attacked by a vicious fish and his body was never found!"
The so-called "evil fish" does not refer to crocodiles, but rather to various ferocious large fish in the ocean!
Or perhaps some other terrifying sea monster!
Li Yang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I can clear the obstacles for you first!"
The others were confused, only seeing Li Yang leap into the sea.
Followed by.
A breathtakingly powerful aura erupted from the seabed, radiating for tens of kilometers!
The once calm sea became turbulent as a result.
The people on the deck felt terrified and dizzy.
next moment.
Li Yang flew out of the sea and jumped directly onto the deck, holding a huge shellfish in his hand.
This giant clam is three times larger than the largest millstone. Its shell is pure white and crystal clear, and the wavy shell is tightly closed. It must have been growing for at least several thousand years!
It's a giant tridacna!
Lei Xianming and Ruan Hei were dumbfounded. Both of them had harvested pearls and seen many sea clams, but they had never seen such a giant clam!
I've only heard of it in stories passed down orally among fishermen!
[Happiness percentage +1%]
[Happiness percentage +1%]
Lei Xianming's expression suddenly turned excited. "My God, this is a man-eating clam! There's definitely something big inside!"
The name "man-eating clam" comes from the fact that some giant clams live among the rocks on the seabed, clinging to the rocks and adept at clamping down on the legs of pearl divers!
Once a pearl diver's foot is caught in a giant clam, there is no hope of escape, and he will die at the bottom of the sea!
Ruan Hei, on the other hand, called it "White Niche," and also believed that there must be a rare and precious pearl inside this giant giant clam!
But before they could react, the others at the edge of the deck suddenly cried out in alarm.
Everyone looked towards the sea.
A large dark shadow drifted from the seabed to the surface!
The first thing to float to the surface was a dense mass of all kinds of sea fish, I don’t know if there were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of them!
There were also quite a few sharks mixed in!
Following closely behind were dozens of giant fish, each about ten meters long, in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
This is the "boat-swallowing fish" that fishermen talk about!
They are also considered to be descendants of the dragon!
but.
Soon a real dragon-shaped creature surfaced!
This behemoth was over fifty meters long, with a head resembling a bull's head and a body like a python, complete with scales and horns. Except for the lack of claws, it was clearly a dragon!
Li Yang explained, "This is not a dragon but a jiao, or even a jiao, it's a bit of a stretch. It can only be considered a giant python that has not yet successfully transformed into a jiao!"
As the old saying goes, a large snake becomes a python, and a large python becomes a dragon!
