I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2002 Activating the Formation

The wooden boat sailed on the vast ocean for another five days. The sea breeze was still howling and the waves were still surging, as if the sea was testing the determination and perseverance of this group of people.

During these five days, they experienced countless storms and twists and turns. They did discover several islands, but without exception, they were not the mysterious places they were looking for.

Whenever we get close to an island, hope would ignite in our hearts like a spark, but as we explore deeper, that light of hope would gradually dim until it was completely extinguished.

"We are so unlucky. We can't find the Styx jellyfish, and the legendary tomb of Wu Peng seems to have sunk into the sea without any news." Liu Jun stood on the deck, his eyes looking through the waves, his tone filled with helplessness and anxiety. His gray-white clothes were rustling in the sea breeze, and his expression was extremely complicated.

"Do you know how to set up the Zhou Tian Astrology Array?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao turned to look at Liu Jun, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, then a flash of realization flashed across his eyes. He immediately understood Yao Guangxiao's intention and frowned slightly.

“Of course I can set up the Zhoutian Astrology Array, but if I want to find the corresponding position of the Moon, it may be a little difficult. Moreover, the huge spiritual power fluctuations of the array may attract other guys.” There was some hesitation in Liu Jun's words, and it was obvious that he was not very optimistic about this plan.

During this period of time, he had indeed seen a lot of dangers in the Sea of ​​Death. The monsters lurking in the dark had different shapes and strange abilities. Even a battle-hardened man like him had to admit that some of them were difficult for him to deal with.

The day before yesterday, their ship discovered an isolated island. The island floated alone on the sea, as if it was a huge rock discarded by nature. Out of curiosity and desire to explore, Liu Jun went to the island to check it out. However, the moment he stepped on the island, he was shocked to find that the island was actually moving!
At first, he thought it was just his own illusion, or an illusion caused by the waves. But as the shaking of the island became more and more obvious, he realized that it was not an illusion at all. This seemingly peaceful island was actually the shell of a giant turtle as big as a hill!
This discovery shocked him. He had never thought that there would be such a huge creature in this vast sea of ​​death. The turtle's shell was covered with thick moss and seaweed, as if time had left deep marks on it. And its huge body swam slowly in the sea, causing waves.

Fortunately, this giant turtle didn't seem to be interested in little ants like them and didn't attack them. Otherwise, they really didn't know how to deal with it. At least the wooden boat they were sitting on seemed so small and fragile in front of this behemoth, and it might not be able to keep them safe.

Moreover, during this period of time, at night, the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and the moon and stars seemed to be hidden, not even a trace of light was revealed. In such an environment, it was a fool's dream to find the corresponding position of the moon.

However, Yao Guangxiao did not give up. He looked at Liu Jun with a smile and said, "Do you want to take a gamble? We can find a way to blast away the clouds, let the moonlight shine down, and then find the direction."

Liu Jun frowned and thought for a moment. He knew the difficulty and risk of this plan, but he also knew that this was their only solution at the moment.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Jun finally nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. "Then let's try it tonight, maybe we can create a miracle."

Time flies by, and soon it slips into the embrace of the night. As the night falls silently, the sea breeze seems to have sensed some changes and becomes more violent, with a bit of wildness and unruliness, wantonly hitting the deck and making bursts of roars.

In this sea shrouded in darkness, there were only five people left on the deck of the wooden boat. In addition to Liu Jun, there were Tiger, Ape Man, Nia, and Yao Guangxiao.

Others, perhaps out of fear of the unknown, or perhaps because they knew their own strength was insignificant in the upcoming events, chose to hide in the relatively safe cabins. They knew that something unpredictable might happen tonight, and even if they stood up, they might not be able to help, but might put themselves in a more dangerous situation.

Liu Jun stood in front of everyone, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then slowly said: "Just stand where I said and don't move, I will take care of the rest. When I need your cooperation, I will tell you clearly."

Several people nodded at the same time, although their expressions were still somewhat nervous or expectant. They knew that this night was very crucial.

Liu Jun did not say anything more, but acted quickly. He nimbly took out pieces of gleaming spiritual stones from the storage space, all of which contained powerful power. He distributed these spiritual stones around the five of them according to certain positions and formations, forming a formation that looked simple but was full of mysteries.

As the last spiritual stone fell, the entire deck seemed to shake. The sea breeze seemed to feel the fluctuation of this power and became more violent.

The night was still dark and the sea breeze was still strong, but on this deck covered by the spirit stone formation, there was an unusual atmosphere.

Liu Jun slowly took out a cylindrical object from his storage ring. The object emitted a faint cold light and was extremely eye-catching.

It was cleverly composed of six black barrels, which were covered with complicated and mysterious runes. These runes seemed to contain endless power, which made people feel awe. At the tail of this object, there was an oversized top-grade spiritual stone tightly stuck. The spiritual stone was crystal clear, emitting dazzling light, and seemed to contain endless spiritual power.

This thing is the Gatling machine gun that Liu Jun has carefully modified, the ancient weapon he obtained in the underworld in the human world.

After a series of clever modifications and enhancements, the power of this Gatling machine gun has been increased by at least dozens of times, becoming an unrivaled weapon in his hands. Whether facing powerful monsters or fierce enemies, this weapon can exert amazing destructive power.

However, despite its great power, this weapon is not without its drawbacks. Since all six barrels are fired simultaneously, the recoil generated is extremely large, and even a powerful being like Liu Jun needs to expend a lot of strength to control it when firing. Moreover, if the opponent is fast enough to attack him before he pulls the trigger, Liu Jun may be in danger.

Tiger, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and showed a look of surprise on his face. He had always felt that Liu Jun was generous and a real rich man, and now this feeling has deepened.

The ape-man at the side widened his eyes, pointed at the oversized top-grade spirit stone and said, "This spirit stone must be worth eight or nine million divine coins, right?" His words were filled with shock and envy.

The corners of Liu Jun's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. He did not respond, but took a deep breath calmly, and then began to adjust his posture, standing firmly with his feet, like a pine tree rooted in the earth, his body slightly leaning forward, and every movement was precise and smooth, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

After adjusting his posture, his finger gently rested on the trigger of the Gatling machine gun. As time went on, the finger gently resting on the trigger gradually exerted force and slowly pulled the trigger.

Instantly, there was a series of loud "bang bang bang" noises, like thunder exploding in my ears. The sound was deafening, as if it was going to wake up the whole world. Along with the loud noises, a series of blue flames instantly gushed out from the muzzle of the Gatling machine gun. The flames were extremely dazzling, like a dancing fire dragon, exuding a chilling aura. It instantly cut through the sky with an unstoppable posture, venting endless power to the sky.

Under the impact of this powerful force, at that moment, the entire space seemed to be exerted with an invisible pressure, as if it was tightly grasped by a giant hand, and it trembled slightly. Not only that, even the surrounding air seemed to be ignited and became extremely hot. Every wisp of air was surging violently, forming a series of heat waves visible to the naked eye, blowing towards us.

The thick dark clouds in the sky were like a group of panicked soldiers who were suddenly hit by a violent storm. In the face of powerful firepower, the dark clouds were completely unable to resist and a huge hole was shot out in an instant. This hole looked particularly abrupt in the sky covered with dark clouds, like a shocking scar on the canvas of nature.

The bright moonlight couldn't wait to pass through the big hole and gently fell on the wooden boat below.

The moonlight was as soft as a veil, covering the originally slightly gloomy wooden boat with a layer of silver glow.

At the same time, the moonlight seemed to trigger some mysterious power, and the formation set up by Liu Jun was also activated. The spiritual stones distributed in the formation instantly burst into strong light.

These lights were colorful and reflected each other, covering the entire wooden boat. The light first became stronger and stronger, and then the light flickered, as if a mysterious ritual was being performed. Then, a slight buzzing sound came from the formation, and the sound became louder and louder, as if it was foreshadowing something was about to happen.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the formation, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, sharp and bright, like an arrow pointing in the direction, shooting towards a certain direction in the distant sea without hesitation.

"Hurry! Go at full speed in the direction of the light!" Liu Jun stood in the middle of the formation, looking anxious, and shouted loudly to the captain in the cockpit of the wooden boat.

Upon hearing this, the captain in the cockpit immediately focused on controlling the wooden boat, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his face full of solemnity. He adjusted the course without hesitation, making the wooden boat rush straight towards the light that guided the direction like an arrow.

In order to speed up, the captain directly activated the spiritual energy stored in the core of the boat. In an instant, the entire wooden boat seemed to be driven by a mysterious force. The boat body jumped up lightly and broke through the waves. The speed was so fast that it was like a speedboat speeding on the sea, leaving the waves far behind.

Time seemed to become blurred and long at this moment, and only the sound of the wooden boat cutting through the water and the accompaniment of the whistling sea breeze could be heard on the sea. However, the light that guided the direction gradually dimmed and finally disappeared in the vast sea. At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky that Liu Jun had punched a big hole in, no one knew when, quietly repaired the crack, and once again blocked the bright moonlight, causing the sea to fall into darkness again.

When the wooden boat finally arrived at the location indicated by the light, the scene before them surprised everyone.

Yao Guangxiao stood at the bow, gazing ahead, and saw only a few lonely reefs exposed above the water, which looked particularly desolate under the dim light of the boat.

"Almost, it should be this location. But, that island used to be quite big, how come it became like this now? Only a few reefs are left?" Yao Guangxiao frowned, looking confused.

Others also came forward and stared at the desolate sea in front of them. Their hearts were filled with doubts and puzzlement. Didn't they say they were looking for an island? These were just a few reefs at most.
