The original repairer

Chapter 112: The Siren Royal Family Wanted

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them will be able to reach the East China Sea Fairy City in about ten days.

They had just launched the flying boat and had been flying for less than half a day when they encountered a huge Jindan monster. This monster was only at the third level of the early Jindan stage, but it was no match for Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan.

After Shi Chen's spiritual sense noticed this situation, he immediately controlled the flying boat to turn and sped towards the south.

Less than two quarters of an hour after flying, a sea monster with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core appeared in the south. In desperation, they could only turn and fly eastward.

Half an hour later, they turned south again. Unfortunately, less than a quarter of an hour later, Shi Chen's consciousness detected another sea monster in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Shi Chen knew full well that their whereabouts had likely been discovered, and they were being surrounded by the sea monsters like a seine. Judging by the encirclement of the Jindan sea monsters, they were clearly trying to drive them north. The ability to mobilize several Jindan sea monsters to surround them must have been the work of the royal carp dragons they had encountered earlier.

The north direction is most likely where the carp dragon is located. Two Jindan sea monsters can be mobilized to surround it. There may be one or two more Jindan sea monsters beside it. Perhaps in other directions, there are also Jindan sea monsters participating in the siege.

At the moment, the direction most likely to be unencircled by the Jindan sea monsters is the east. Three or four hundred miles to the east is the Monster Sea, the monster's territory. If humans set foot in the Monster Sea, they would be walking into a wolf's den.

"Captain, we now have two choices. One is to fight to the south or west. In the south, we will encounter a sea monster in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and in the west, we will encounter a sea monster in the third level of the early Golden Core. The other is to fly east and enter the sea of monsters." Shi Chen said with a little hesitation.

"Can't we go back north to the ruins of the previous market town?" Liang Ruyan asked.

Shi Chen's spiritual sense quickly swept in all directions, and he said in a deep voice, "I've used my spiritual sense to explore, and I haven't found any sea monsters in the north or east yet. But based on the range of the sea monsters' blockade, I infer that there should be other Jindan sea monsters coming from the north, but their distance is beyond my spiritual sense range. We now have only two choices: either go west and fight to break through the blockade of the third-level Jindan sea monsters, while being chased by the sea monsters behind us all the way to the East Sea Immortal City; or go east and enter the Sea of Monsters."

"Which direction do you think has a greater chance of survival?" Liang Ruyan was not stupid. She knew that the two of them had been surrounded and blocked by sea monsters, and there was almost no possibility of survival.

"The chances of survival on both sides are extremely slim. Normally, both would choose to break through to the west. Facing a sea monster at the third level of the Golden Core, the two of us still have a greater chance of escape. However, I think there might be another Golden Core-stage sea monster behind the third-level Golden Core sea monster, and going west might be a dead end. Therefore, I chose to fly east and enter the Sea of Monsters. The chances of survival in this direction are the highest." Shi Chen analyzed carefully and said.

"I'll listen to you." Liang Ruyan looked at Shi Chen and said.

"We can only fight to the death to fight for this glimmer of hope. You will take the helm of the flying boat. I need half an hour to recover my spiritual power. When we reach the Demon Sea in the east, I will take the helm of the flying boat and it will be your turn to recover." Shi Chen said, giving up control of the flying boat.

Shi Chen swallowed a high-grade spiritual power recovery pill, sat cross-legged on the deck of the flying boat, and began to practice martial arts to restore his spiritual power.

An hour later, after traveling over 300 miles, they encountered two groups of sea monsters at the Qi Condensation stage, completely exposing their whereabouts. Upon reaching the shores of the Monster Sea, Shi Chen took control of the flying boat, flew into the Monster Sea, and headed towards its depths.

Half an hour later, the carp dragon brought four golden elixir sea monsters to the place where Shi Chen and the others entered the sea, staring into the depths of the sea of monsters, as if waiting for something.

Two quarters of an hour later, a sea monster at the fifth level of the middle Jindan stage flew in from the west, knelt behind the carp dragon, and said, "Young Master, we have thoroughly investigated and confirmed that they are indeed the two humans you mentioned. They headed east and should have entered the Monster Sea by now."

"Jie Heng, that human male cultivator must be carrying an opportunity. Judging from the distance at which he sensed your encirclement, his spiritual awareness is stronger than yours, and his intuition is extremely sharp. He can sense even the slightest breath. However, his cultivation is low, only at the fifth level of foundation building. As long as you can track and encircle them, I will capture them alive and seize his opportunity." Lilong said softly.

"Young Master, we will definitely help you capture them alive." Jie Heng responded.

"With just a few of you, you might be able to surround them, but there's still a chance they can escape. The original arrangements on land were foolproof, but we never expected that they would dare to break into the Monster Sea and let them escape. Issue a wanted order for the Monster Sea and mobilize the sea monsters in the Monster Sea. I will definitely capture them alive." The carp dragon said, looking deeply at the Monster Sea.

After ten days deep in the Monster Sea, Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan took turns manning the flying boat, alternating every hour. Unfortunately, they were unable to escape the sirens' pursuit. The entire Monster Sea was like a simmering sea, swarming with sirens patrolling everywhere. Some were practicing Qigong, some were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and some were at the Golden Core stage. Avoiding the sirens' patrols became increasingly difficult.

Every twelve hours of the day required extreme caution. Ten days passed, and the distance from Dayu Continent grew ever farther. Shi Chen felt as if he were being driven by a siren, heading deeper into the Demon Sea, and in a specific direction. If Shi Chen and the others strayed from their path, varying numbers of siren would descend upon them.

Ten days later, the pursuit had lasted for over a month. Both men were exhausted, both physically and mentally, but there was no way to stop and rest. If it were just Shi Chen alone, with the added bonus of his Great Accomplishment Realm of Physiognomy, Shi Chen would transform into a sea monster. A sea monster in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm would be difficult to distinguish unless one used spiritual sense to detect it.

Liang Ruyan's physiognomy skills were only at the proficient level, and could only deceive sea monsters of the same level. Any sea monster in the Golden Core stage would be exposed with a single sweep of her divine sense.

Time flew by like a fleeting white horse. Ten days later, Shi Chen noticed a multitude of sea monsters within the sixty- to seventy-mile range of his spiritual sense. While there were no sea monsters blocking his way to the east, sea monsters of varying levels of cultivation were present in all other directions. Two quarters of an hour later, the flying boat had advanced several dozen miles. Shi Chen spotted a multicolored mist appearing in the sea of monsters, less than thirty miles from the boat. However, his spiritual sense failed to detect this unique mist, as if it were shielding him from his senses.

About ten miles from the fog, Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan stopped their flying boat and gazed at the surface of the Demon Sea, where the waves rolled and surged toward the fog. If they advanced another ten feet, Shi Chen would feel as if he were being sucked toward the fog, just like the waters of the Demon Sea ten feet away.

Looking at the colorful light shining through the fog, the two turned around and waited for the siren chasing them from behind.

The fog was about fifty or sixty feet high, growing taller as it moved toward the center. Twenty miles later, it seemed to connect with the clouds above, forming a massive pillar of cloud. Occasionally, lightning flashed through the pillar, and the colorful fog stretched for dozens or even hundreds of miles.

In less than half an hour, the carp dragon came riding on the waves, followed by three golden elixir sea monsters, and stopped about a hundred feet away from Shi Chen and the others.

"Human cultivator, this is the third time we have met, and you have not yet told me your name." Lilong said, looking at the two of them.

"We were chased here by you. Before we enter, shouldn't you tell us where this colorful fog is? At least we won't die inexplicably after entering." Shi Chen said with a smile.

"This place is called Shenguang Island. Since its appearance, no living creature has ever been seen coming out of it." The carp dragon said.

"Okay! Thank you for telling me. Since you chased us here, you must want us to go in. Then let's go in." Shi Chen said decisively. Only by entering the Shenguan Island here can there be a hope of escape.

"You haven't told me your name yet?" Lilong asked with some regret.

"Remember, my name is Shi Chen."
