This assassin is upright

Chapter 279: Team reunion, new discoveries (asking for monthly tickets!)

"boom!!!"

The calm sea surface suddenly exploded with a roar, and Hermod's golden body danced wildly, rushing out of the sea at the fastest speed, his expression still showing a bit of fear.

At this moment, he looked quite disheveled, his robe was torn to pieces, and there were bleeding scars on his body.

A green light filled with the breath of life enveloped him, and Hermod's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He nodded slightly towards Yu Zhu who had made the move, and his expression finally relaxed.

"The situation is terrible." Hermod took a deep breath. "The existence on the seabed is very terrifying. We are definitely not able to deal with it."

"Killing those octopus monsters that suddenly appear is also not a good idea, because if we kill too many of them, we will also be affected. In addition, killing them will gradually awaken the existence of the seabed."

"I'm not sure what will happen after I wake up." When he said this, Hermod's expression was very solemn.

Once you have seen those eyes at the bottom of the sea, that fear will be firmly imprinted in your consciousness and will never be erased.

"Then don't enter the sea water yet." Yu Zhu thought for a moment and said slowly, "Let's find Yu Zhun and the others first."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should also be on an island."

"Okay." Hermod nodded slightly, "But how do we cross the ocean to other islands?"

"This is actually easy." Yu Zhu smiled and took out a palm-sized but very delicate boat from his pocket.

"The vehicle-type wish item [Water Sky Boat] we obtained earlier can not only move in the air, but also in the water."

As she spoke, she threw the boat casually, and the boat swelled in the wind, soon turning into a medium-sized pleasure boat, floating quietly on the sea.

Yu Zhu jumped lightly, stepped onto the side of the pleasure boat, and looked towards the nearest island.

"We'll search island by island until we find them."
-
"The sixth island."

On an island, Lu Wen sat down on the beach and took a breath. "Just like the previous five islands, there is nothing here."

"Should we continue?"

Yu Zhun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Continue."

"The scope of the secret realm is limited. The sea surface looks endless, but the total number of islands must be limited. We should try not to miss any island and see if we can find any valuable discoveries."

"What if all the islands are not discovered?" Udyr whispered beside him.

Yu Zhun did not answer, but just cast his gaze towards the calm sea.

If there are no valuable discoveries on all the islands in the secret realm, then they will have to turn their attention underwater again.

"I hope not." He said softly, and then changed the subject, "Let's rest for a while and go to the seventh island later."

"Okay." Udyr nodded slightly and had no objection.

"Finally, I can take a break." Lu Wen stretched lazily, picked up a larger stone from the beach and threw it into the sea.

The stones were skipping on the sea, drifting away into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Lu Wen couldn't help but grin, "This place is really a holy place for skipping stones."

Yu Zhun: “…”

He rolled his eyes and couldn't help but admire Lu Wen's big heart.

In this special secret place, nothing except living things will sink to the bottom of the sea.

It won't sink into the water, so you can skip the water however you want...

Yu Zhun suddenly fell silent, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He seemed to have grasped some clues vaguely, but it seemed as if there was a layer of fog between them and he couldn't see clearly.

"Let's go." After a short rest, Yu Zhun still couldn't grasp that flash of inspiration. He shook his head slightly, stood up and walked towards the wooden boat.

Luwen and Udyr looked at each other and followed closely.

Soon, with the three people taking turns rowing, the wooden boat slowly headed towards the seventh island not far away.

Before they reached the island, Udyr, who had the best eyesight among the three, suddenly cried out, "Something is coming!"

Got something?
Yu Zhun and Lu Wen, who were rowing, stopped at the same time and looked in the direction indicated by Udyr.

On the sea, a conspicuous small black dot was leaving the seventh island and heading towards them.

The opponent was very fast, and in just a short while, as the distance got closer, his outline began to become clear.

It was obviously a ship.

Moreover, unlike the wooden boat that Yu Zhun and his two companions had built temporarily, the oncoming boat was actually an extremely exquisite pleasure boat!

"Fuck, what's going on?" Lu Wen widened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"There are two possibilities." Yu Zhun's face was solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice, "The first possibility is that someone else entered the secret realm through another secret realm entrance, and this ship belongs to them."

"The second possibility is that this ship already existed in the secret realm, and it might be the key to breaking the impasse."

"I feel the second possibility is more likely." Udyr's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he spoke slowly, "It just so happens that they came in with us, and there just so happens to be a ship with them. The probability is too small."

Yu Zhun nodded slightly.

He didn't think the second situation was more likely, he just simply hoped that the speeding ship was the key to breaking the deadlock.

The three of them stopped paddling at the same time, allowing the wooden boat to drift slowly on the sea due to inertia.

Soon, the pleasure boat, which was more than ten meters long, arrived in front of the three people.

Before Yu Zhun and the other two could make any move, a familiar voice came from the pleasure boat, "Why don't you bow down to the Dragon King and the Goddess when you see them?"

Hearing this voice, Yu Zhun's expression instantly became interesting. Without saying a word, he stepped onto the pleasure boat, rushed into the boat in three or two steps, and then pulled out Yu Zhu, who was pretending to be something.

"Hey hey hey~" Yu Zhu couldn't help but puff out his cheeks, "We finally meet, and you welcome me like this?"

Behind her, Hermod walked out of the boat leisurely and nodded to Luven and Udyr.

"Why are you here?" Yu Zhun was still a little dazed from his surprise.

When entering the entrance of the secret realm, he said goodbye to Yu Zhu.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the two parties, who were quite far away from each other, actually met in the secret realm.

"If you can find the entrance to the secret realm, I can certainly find it too." Yu Zhu put his hands on his hips, looking very proud, "It's a small problem~"

Seeing Yu Zhu's expression, Yu Zhun couldn't help but knock her on the head, and then his face became serious, "What did you find?"

"There are big problems with the seabed here." Hermod spoke in a deep voice, and then told his discovery.

After listening, Yu Zhun nodded slightly.

"Our findings are similar to yours." He took a deep breath, "You should also be searching for the island, right?"

"Have you found anything on these islands?"

"We are not actually searching for the island." Yu Zhu said with a smile, "We are here specifically to find you."

"But when it comes to discoveries, it's not that there are none at all."

"What?" Yu Zhun's expression changed and he showed excitement.

"Let Xiao He tell us." Yu Zhu looked at Hermod, "He was the one who discovered it." "It's not a particularly big discovery." Hermod's expression was calm, "We went to four islands one after another."

He took out four drawings from his arms, on which were drawn the outlines of four islands, and then placed them on the table according to their relative positions.

"Just take a look."

Yu Zhun and the other two looked at the island curiously, and after a moment their expressions changed at the same time.

When looking at each island one by one, there didn't seem to be anything wrong, but when comparing the four islands, even the most obtuse Lu Wen could see the problem.

"Can the outlines of these islands be pieced together?"

"Yes." Hermod nodded slightly, "The islands here are different from normal islands. They float on the sea."

"According to my guess, these islands on the sea may have originally been a whole."

"This whole was shattered for some reason, and the island broke into pieces and gradually drifted away, which led to its current appearance."

Hermod stopped talking here, but an idea arose in the minds of the five people at the same time.

Since the islands were once a single entity...

So what happens when you try to piece it all together?
"This sounds feasible." Yu Zhun looked around and spoke slowly, "The only problem is..."

“How do we move the island?”

Even the smallest island is huge compared to them, and moving an island on the sea is like moving a mountain.

"There is a solution, but it's not a good one." Yu Zhu suddenly spoke, pointing to the pleasure boat under his feet.

"This is a wish power item called [Water Sky Boat]. Theoretically, as long as enough wish power is provided, it can become very, very large and can provide extremely strong power."

"After fixing the island and the [Water Sky Boat], we can use this power to drag the island and move it."

"But... it will cost a lot." Yu Zhu's expression became serious. "I estimate that moving an island will consume tens of thousands of willpower points. There are more than ten islands here."

"To piece them together, the amount of willpower required is likely to exceed 100,000!"

Hearing this, Yu Zhun and others fell silent.

Everyone can afford to spend 100,000 vows, at most each person will spend 20,000, but the question is whether it is worth it.

According to Yu Zhun and Lu Wen’s previous experience of entering secret realms, even if they completely destroyed a secret realm, the gains would only be around 30,000 willpower.

If this secret realm is the same, it would be a pure loss.

Yu Zhun turned his head to look at the sea, and vaguely seemed to see the pair of scarlet and terrifying eyes at the bottom of the sea again.

The hesitation in his eyes quickly turned into determination, and he turned to look at the other four friends.

"Try it."

"My intuition tells me that this secret realm is different from the ones we have encountered before, and it is likely that we will have a relatively large reward."

"Even if there is none, it is only a loss of tens of thousands of willpower."

After hearing Yu Zhun's words, the others looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.

In fact, they have similar ideas.

Danger and opportunity coexist. The seabed of this secret realm is so dangerous that if it can be destroyed, the benefits will certainly be amazing.

"Let's do it!" Yu Zhu took a deep breath, stomped his foot hard on the [Shui Tian Zhou], pointed forward, "Go!"

With the surging infusion of willpower, the size of the [Water Cloud Boat] suddenly increased, and in an instant it became a giant ship hundreds of meters long. Its speed was so fast that it left an afterimage on the sea surface and crossed a long distance in an instant.

In just a few breaths, they landed at the nearest island.

Yu Zhun and several others quickly got off the boat and used all kinds of ropes, silk threads and other secret treasures and props to secure the protruding rocks and other objects on the island and the giant ship. With a shout from Yu Zhu, the giant ship roared.

The island trembled violently under the huge pulling force, and then gradually increased its floating speed under the excited gaze of Yu Zhun and others.

"It's done!" Everyone standing on the bow cheered at the same time, pulling the island closer to another island.

When the two islands were very close to each other, Yu Zhu controlled the towed island to slow down, adjusted it to the matching position, and then pulled it hard.

"boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the two islands roared and trembled at the same time, and the matching positions were perfectly matched without any abruptness.

"Look, their boundary is glowing!"

Udyr suddenly exclaimed, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the boundary between the two islands was slowly closing in the light.

Just like a piece of broken stone merged into one again, without even the slightest crack left, the two islands became one new island.

Noticing this scene, Yu Zhun and others all became excited.

The appearance of such a strange phenomenon after the islands were aligned shows that the direction of their current attempt is correct!
"continue!"

Greatly encouraged, Yu Zhun and others controlled the [Shuiyun Boat] and immediately sailed towards the third island.
-
"boom!!!"

Two figures, a man and a woman, jumped out from the bottom of the sea and rushed towards an island not far away. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they landed.

The two people were none other than Long Pan’s fellow junior brothers and sisters, Miaochen and Qingwu, who had also entered the secret realm.

At this moment, the two men no longer had the complacency and arrogance they had before. Instead, their faces were filled with a bit of fear after surviving a disaster and an unprecedented solemnity.

"The existence of this secret realm seal is too terrifying." Miao Chen took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Even if Senior Brother Long Pan came in person, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to obtain the fortune of this place."

"I don't think so." Although Qing Wu also looked solemn, he couldn't help but refute after hearing this, "After killing those octopus monsters, I felt the killing intent that corroded my soul."

"But this desire to kill can be suppressed."

"We were just caught off guard just now. Next time we try, we can use the Heart Purification Mantra in advance and solve it."

"One failure is nothing." Qing Wu's eyes flashed with brilliance, "If such a terrifying existence is killed by us..."

"I'm afraid we will be able to get the attention of that adult immediately?"

Hearing this, Miao Chen paused and his breathing quickened.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Let's try again!"

With previous experience, they won't have much of a problem.

Even if you encounter danger, you can get back to the island in time.

At present, the island is an absolutely safe area.

After looking at each other, they jumped into the sea again.

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, splashes appeared on the sea again, and dust and green mist quickly rushed out from the bottom of the sea.

However, when their eyes turned towards the direction of the island, their expressions became confused.

The island that was supposed to be next to them was now hundreds of meters away from them, and was still flying away from them at a very fast speed.

"Do not!!!"

They only had time to let out a roar before they were entangled by countless tentacles that emerged from the seabed and then suddenly pulled back under the sea.
