194 – Storm Cry Sinks
In order to exterminate Cartman’s clone and the demons under his command, Yang Feng had fired tens of nuclear warheads, directly erasing Eyes of Justice from the mountain range. This method was too fierce. Kongfang Ao had no choice but to warn repeatedly.
Yang Feng knew what Kongfang Ao worried about. He said with a smile: “I know!”
Cartman’s clone was a semi-divine rank terrifying being, and he commanded a number of demon strong persons. According to conventional methods, given some time, he would definitely turn Turandot Subcontinent upside down. If it was not for Yang Feng using nuclear warheads to deal with him, Turandot Subcontinent falling into his hands would not be an impossibility.
Yang Feng listened to Kongfang Ao only half-heartedly. If there was no critical situation, then he would never use the nuclear warheads. But if he were to come across any life-threatening situations, then he would definitely use his great trump card, the nuclear warheads.
The Lightning Supersonic Fighter dispatched by Yang Feng to fly tens of kilometers ahead of the Storm Cry was crushed in a flash.
“Careful!”
Yang Feng’s complexion suddenly changed greatly. He grabbed s.h.i.+ Xue standing beside him and rushed towards Kongfang Ao.
Kongfang Ao became slightly distracted. Then, his thoughts revolved lightning fast and he made a decision. He rushed in the same direction as Yang Feng.
From the black cloud, a cyan light beam shot towards the Storm Cry.
The countless runes atop the Storm Cry lit up and erupted with Starry Sky Warlock rank formidable fluctuations of power in a flash. Suddenly, an enormous protective cover appeared and enveloped the entire s.h.i.+p.
The cyan light beam slammed onto the enormous protective cover. With a pop, the enormous protective cover easily shattered and the cyan light beam slammed onto the Storm Cry, blasting the Storm Cry in half.
A terrifying shock wave spread in every direction and flung everyone atop the s.h.i.+p away.
The Storm Cry, which was blasted in two, issued kacha sounds as a whirlpool appeared around the s.h.i.+p. The s.h.i.+p sank to the bottom of the sea.
Yang Feng was also hit by the terrifying shock wave. A splitting pain came from his internal organs and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell into the sea and lost consciousness.
“Brother, wake up!”
There was an ice-cold feeling coming from his forehead. Yang Feng woke up. He opened his eyes and saw s.h.i.+ Xue’s anxious face.
Yang Feng looked around. He discovered that he was deep under the sea, sinking. A layer of life force, which could only be employed by official Warlocks, covered his body, cutting him off from the seawater and filtering out traces of air for him to breath.
In the Cangzhi Plane, Warlocks employed secret methods to cultivate a kind of life energy. So long a they were not dead, they would have a layer of life force surrounding them at every given moment. The stronger the person was, the stronger the life force would be. Life force had all sorts of incredibly mystical powers that allowed Warlocks to survive in many inhospitable environments.
Yang Feng pressed the dimensional crest on his chest and a 100 meters long level-4 extraordinary life form rank mechanical battle beast, Barromán Sea Electric Eel, appeared in front of him.
He took s.h.i.+ Xue’s hand and hopped into the Barromán Sea Electric Eel’s c.o.c.kpit.
After he became Turandot Subcontinent’s uncrowned king, Yang Feng obtained the bodies of many level-4 extraordinary life forms from the treasure warehouses of Black Dragon Tower and White Elephant’s Ivory. He used the Portable Fortified Stronghold to manufacture those bodies into mechanical battle beasts and took them with him.
s.h.i.+ Xue asked: “Brother, what should we do now? Do we go back?”
While the Storm Cry sailed through the Sea of Monsters, Yang Feng had secretly recorded the route.
Yang Feng mused for a while and then said decisively: “That won’t do! The Sea of Monsters is too dangerous. Even if we turn back now and return to Turandot Subcontinent, it will still be very dangerous. Now, the priority is to search and rescue the Storm Cry’s sailors. With these experienced sailors, whether we turn back and return to Turandot Subcontinent or go to Eastern Continent’s Great Cloud Empire, both will be possible.”
After he finished speaking, Yang Feng turned on the Barromán Sea Electric Eel’s life-detection system. Incomparably powerful detection ripples spread in every direction.
“Found it!”
The red dots above the radar stood for humans. The Portable Fortified Stronghold’s optical computer had already a.n.a.lyzed the human Warlocks’ life force and could distinguish it from that of other extraordinary life forms, allowing him to screen out most of the sea extraordinary life forms.
Yang Feng speedily piloted the Barromán Sea Electric Eel towards the nearest red dot.
“Kongfang Ao!”
As soon as Yang Feng reached the nearest red dot, he saw Kongfang Ao floating in the water.
When Kongfang Ao saw the Barromán Sea Electric Eel, he erupted with a powerful life force. He looked alert and ready to fight.
Via the Barromán Sea Electric Eel’s sound generator, Yang Feng said: “Brother Kong, it’s me! This is my alchemical golem! Come on in!”
The Barromán Sea Electric Eel’s c.o.c.kpit door opened and Kongfang Ao speedily swam inside.
Kongfang Ao gave his thanks with a grateful expression: “Brother Yang, many thanks for saving me. Otherwise, I would be in danger.”
In the Sea of Monsters, without a suitable s.h.i.+p, even Starry Sky Warlocks were highly likely of dying, while Moonlight Warlocks would be in great danger. Yang Feng rescued Kongfang Ao from the middle of the sea, which was equivalent to saving his life.
Yang Feng smiled and said: “Brother Kong, you are overstating. It was nothing much. I still need to save the others, so say no more.”
Kongfang Ao nodded lightly and said no more.
Yang Feng piloted the Barromán Sea Electric Eel to search the sea, saving the Storm Cry’s sailors scattered in the sea one at a time.
After rescuing several hundred people, Yang Feng found the Storm Cry’s captain, Zheng Gong, and easily rescued him as well.
With a grateful expression, Zheng Gong took charge in saying: “Brother Yang, many thanks. If it were not for you, then it would be it for us, these several hundred people. Hence forth, you are my brother. If there is anyone that dares to bully you by the time we arrive at the Great Cloud Dynasty, then do not hesitate to mention my name. I do not dare involve myself in major matters, but I can help you settle some trivial matters in a matter of minutes.”
Zheng Gong was the captain of a Phoenix Cry Merchant Group’s D-cla.s.s armed merchant s.h.i.+p, he was considered to have a bit of status in Great Cloud Dynasty.
Yang Feng asked with a light smile: “It was nothing much! Captain Zheng, what was that cyan light beam just now?”
A touch of bitterness flashed past Zheng Gong’s eyes. He gave a long sigh and said: “I do not know what that cyan light beam was. Perhaps it was the aftermath from the battle of two powerful beings. But it is more likely that a formidable being in this part of the sea had attacked us after sensing us employing a large area of effect spell, the Storm Cry’s Fire Snake Heaven Net Artillery. The Sea of Monsters is very dangerous. Even though we had studied this route for countless years, but we still do not dare claim that we have truly figured out this part of the sea.”
Zheng Gong said with a solemn expression: “Brother Yang, this part of the sea has become very dangerous. I advise you to leave this place immediately. Such powerful fluctuations of power will definitely attract strong beings.”
Yang Feng said: “I want to continue our journey to the continent, can it be done?”
“It is not an issue. I have a map of Sea of Monsters’ routes. As long as this map is not lost, then I can take you to the continent through the correct route.
Zheng Gong took out a jade map covered in a variety of threads from his bosom. On one of the threads was a red dot. The red dot represented the position of Yang Feng and company.
Yang Feng took a look at the jade map o the sea before discovering that there was still one third of the route to the Eastern Continent’s Great Cloud Empire left.
Yang Feng immediately piloted the Barromán Sea Electric Eel towards the Eastern Continent according to Zheng Gong’s directions.
The Barromán Sea Electric Eel was fully modified by the Portable Fortified Stronghold, with its fluctuations of life force being hardly any different from those of a genuine Barromán Sea Electric Eel. In the Sea of Monsters, level-4 extraordinary life forms were also not weak. Whenever lover-ranked extraordinary life forms sensed the battle beast’s fluctuations of life force, they would immediately retreat.
After pa.s.sing through this part of the sea and just after entering another part of the sea, a 40 meters long level-4 extraordinary life form rank Magic Fin Sword Fish, which was covered in black scales and had a mouth as sharp as a lance, blocked in front of the Barromán Sea Electric Eel and issued extremely strange sounds.
Starting translating!>
We will tear you to pieces and eat you.>
Two voices were heard inside the Barromán Sea Electric Eel.
Kongfang Ao gasped: “Awesome. Even the sea extraordinary life forms’ common language is not a problem. Brother Yang, I have a new level of respect for your Steel City’s Alchemist.”
Zheng Gong’s eyes lit up, saying: “That’s right, sea extraordinary life forms are also intelligent life forms. They also have their own common language, which we had never managed to master. Brother Yang, is it possible to sell us the translation secret treasure when we reach Great Cloud Dynasty?”
“Let me think about it!” Said Yang Feng with a lightly smile.
The sea extraordinary life forms’ common language was knowledge left behind by a Great Warlock who specialized in studying the sea extraordinary life form’s language in Turandot Subcontinent. This knowledge was very out-of-the-way. Besides, it could not upgrade a Warlock’s cultivation base, so there was practically no one who would learn it. Yang Feng had scanned and placed it inside the optical computer’s database. At last, it had this miraculous effect.
Each plane and every world had its own exceptional heroes, talented geniuses, and distinct knowledge. Some knowledge may seem out-of-the-way and useless, but was of tremendous benefit in certain circ.u.mstances.
