Chapter 1768 Night Encounter
As time goes by, secret places are in contact with people.

For a moment of confusion, Zhang Xuezhou still thought that the secret place should be full of sparks and lightning, and then fall to the earth like a meteor and land steadily.

But nothing he imagined happened.

The sound of waves lapping could be heard, and this secret place suddenly appeared on the sea like an island.

"It's hard to enter this secret place again!"

Carrying the not-too-heavy gourd, everyone ran out quickly.

Only when they walked out of the secret realm and returned to the sea did everyone feel relieved.

Gongsun Hong looked at the endless sea and couldn't help sighing.

"What's so difficult about that? I can live my whole life without ever coming to this crappy place!"

Li Shaojun muttered something, and then urged Zhang Xuezhou to catch the fish quickly. Even if he was given a raw fish, Li Shaojun would eat it all.

"My feather was broken in the fight, and you can only eat raw fish!"

Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand into the sea and grabbed a stupid red-scaled fish onto the gourd boat.

This sea area is rich in fish resources and the fish schools are so dense that you can almost catch a fish with your hands.

Zhang Xuezhou grabbed a fish with his hands and it weighed six or seven kilograms.

"This fish is so stupid. It swims so flexibly, but it didn't move when it was caught. If you eat it, you will be stupid to death!"

Li Shaojun complained, but didn't hesitate at all when eating.

After a lot of beatings, he carefully lit the Liu Ding divine fire and burned the fish to a charred black.

When he had some more strength in his stomach, Li Shaojun reached out his hands and grabbed a few fish weighing more than ten kilograms into the gourd boat.

Li Shaojun was so hungry that he started to store food.

He lit a fire and roasted the fish until a hole was burned in the gourd boat. Only after being beaten by Zhang Xuezhou and others did Li Shaojun stop.

"The sunlight here is a bit dazzling. This is not a good situation on the sea. We should sail farther away earlier!"

Gongsun Hong urged them, which made everyone stop focusing on replenishing food and instead pick up the wooden boards and keep paddling.

The gourd boat does not conform to the hull design, and its only advantage is buoyancy.

Everyone was paddling with difficulty, but they were able to hold on thanks to their advantage as cultivators.

"Dongfang Shuo, if you practice this gourd, wouldn't it be wonderful if it could expand and contract?"

After paddling for a while, Li Shaojun couldn't help but complain.

"What's the point of practicing a sacrifice on a rotten gourd?" Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "Don't try to trick me into using the Treasure Refining Technique to do this. I don't want to practice sacrifice on anything anymore!"

"Why don't you perform the ritual to send me off?" Li Shaojun leaned over and said.

"You took the gourd vine, so aren't you afraid that the vine and the gourd will come together to come alive, and then suck you dry while you sleep, and then come back to life and suck you dry again until you die," Zhang Xuezhou replied in a low voice.

"It's no fun if you say that!"

"That's your lousy fate!"

Zhang Xuezhou complained, and Li Shaojun's little thoughts were completely extinguished. He turned to paddling there, and from time to time he played with the cut piece of leafless gourd vine like Zhang Xuezhou did.

Everyone had no sense of direction at this time, and they were paddling along with the waves.

There was a lot of fresh water in the gourd, and fish could be caught at sea, so everyone felt much more relaxed.

Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun each had their own thoughts, while Gongsun Hong seemed to have been reborn after a disaster.

He had lost 'Jiu Yu', lost the spiritual spring, and his body had not yet recovered, but Gongsun Hong did not want to ask for anything else at this time.

Only after experiencing life and death can one cherish life and be clear about one's own needs.

For him, reaching the state of self-centeredness was almost the fulfillment of his lifelong wish.

He looked at the direction of the sea flow and felt the sea breeze from time to time, hoping to determine the direction and return to land as soon as possible.

"Look, there's an island over there!"

"There are people up there!"

From the dawn of the sky to the dim moon and stars, Zhang Xuezhou and others finally saw a little bit of fire.

This made everyone very happy, and they felt that the speed of returning to the mainland this time was much faster than they had imagined.

This made the three of them use all their strength to paddle, even Zhang Xuezhou threw the spiritual wood he had sacrificed into the water to use as a paddle. The three of them shouted loudly, and as they got closer, there were people holding torches floating in the air, and the faces of the three of them inevitably changed.

"Who are you guys making noise here?"

The shout was as deafening as thunder, and the other party was wearing golden armor and holding a torch, riding the wind, obviously possessing a very high level of cultivation.

There are hundreds of these torchbearers in this area.

Zhang Xuezhou and others were silent for a moment, feeling that they had entered the lair of an unknown powerful force.

"We were shipwrecked and landed here," Gongsun Hong called out, "I'd like to ask you for directions back to the mainland!"

"The mainland is in the west, what are you doing going east?"

When the reply came, everyone immediately realized that they had gone in the wrong direction.

Of course, if the other party gives them a wrong direction with malicious intent, they will be even more unlucky.

"Bishui, who is this fellow Taoist coming?"

"It's three shipwrecked people!"

"The heaven and earth in this area are almost boiling. How could it be that ordinary people got here in a shipwreck? What kind of ship were they on?"

"A big gourd boat!"

"gourd?"

A voice from farther away asked a few questions, and then someone else walked on the wind.

It is impossible to defeat them by fighting, and it is impossible to escape from these skilled flyers.

Even though Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun, who could fly, didn't say anything, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that everyone's bad luck would never end.

"The whereabouts of General Fenshui who was suppressed by Beihaiyan are unknown. It is very likely that he has forcibly possessed other people. Call them all over for inspection!"

When a general wearing a military cap came walking on the wind and saw the gourd boat that everyone was riding on, he shouted loudly and waved his hand quickly.

Suddenly, there were more than ten monks flying in the air against the wind.

Some monks held torches, some held night-shining pearls, and some held bright lamps for lighting.

When Zhang Xuezhou and others were far away, they didn't feel how bright the light was. By the time the other party flew hundreds of feet to them, Zhang Xuezhou and others were already under the strong light.

"Stop fighting, we surrender!"

Li Shaojun surrendered first, and then Zhang Xuezhou also raised his hands, and then Gongsun Hong explained again and again.

"Everyone, we were really shipwrecked. We just escaped today and had a few bites of fish!"

"It's a monk!"

"The cultivation is not weak!"

"Catch them all!"

Gongsun Hong's explanation was of no use.

Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun wisely surrendered early and allowed themselves to be tied up, while Gongsun Hong, who was still explaining, was hit with a ruler by a monk in Taoist robes.

A faint purple light floated over Gongsun Hong's body, and Gongsun Hong screamed in pain and fell down.

When someone jumped onto the gourd boat and tied up Zhang Xuezhou and others with ropes, the tense atmosphere subsided a little.

Someone put a flying rope on the gourd, and when someone pushed hard, Zhang Xuezhou and others were pulled over with their boat.

As they got closer, Zhang Xuezhou and others realized that the sea water here was extremely dark, and there were huge rocks on the sea surface that were constantly hit by huge waves.

The places where the people were holding up the lights were not islands or continents, but rather a series of messy reefs without a trace of soil or vegetation.

This kind of place is obviously not suitable for human survival, but many great practitioners are searching this area as if they are looking for treasures.

The fact that Zhang Xuezhou and others were tied up did not interrupt the pace of their search. Some of them turned over some rubble beside the reef and conducted a very careful search.

"You arrested people without keeping a close watch on Shen Gongbao. This is really something you guys should do. This is in line with your usual style!"

A slightly teasing voice came, which shocked Zhang Xuezhou.

"Third Prince, we have met before!"

Zhang Xuezhou raised his head and saw a young man in golden armor and a red robe not far away. This made him shout loudly, and he finally knew the origins of this group of great monks.
