Silent tis, like joy, are always very short-lived.
Everyone looked at Xu Shu and Gu Yue Ming with a hint of gossip and ambiguity, speculating that there might be so unspeakable secret between the two of them.
However, Xie Xiaochan suggested, "Alright, since everyone is here, let’s not delay, let’s set off! Brother Ning, we’ll count on you for this journey."
"Of course." Ning Zhaoxuan quickly responded with a few polite words.
This interruption naturally brought everyone’s attention back to the main issue, and no one paid attention to the story that "can’t be told between the mysterious path people and the little aunt."
A group of nine people went to the dock. At the shore, Xie Xiaochan stopped, took out a fluorescent cloth in the air and said, "Everyone, sign this na token, then we’re all in the sa boat, good comrades sharing adversity, watching over and helping each other!"
While she was speaking, she sneaked a glance at Xu Shu, seemingly inviting him to recognize her rit in resolving his predicant, aning that, without her today, he would face social death here.
Xu Shu twitched his lips as if he didn’t see it, stepped forward first, and left his na on the light screen: "Gu Pan, Third-rank Dragon Elephant."
The na token is a special combat death recorder, after signing it, if any mber of the team dies, the advancent drives of other teammates will share this ’death playback’.
This item is commonly used for exploring wastelands. Although today’s quest is not wasteland exploration, the entrance to the ruins is quite far from the border, so naturally, this protection is needed.
The others had no objection and went forward one by one, leaving their real nas on the light screen.
After signing the ’na token’, Ning Zhaoxuan removed an Amulet from his neck and threw it into the water, instantly turning into a boat nearly twenty ters long.
"Everyone, get on the boat!" Ning Zhaoxuan, with a cigarette in his mouth, boarded the ship first.
With a shout, Ning’s body suddenly bulged with muscles, his head becoming increasingly round and sharp, and scales covered the skin of his neck, the backs of his hands — this was the ’rfolk’ form.
In this state, the boatman’s strength, stamina, etc., are greatly enhanced, also possessing water-control ability, and just one person is enough to manipulate the boat; consuming two bowls of rice per hundred kiloters, capable of long-duration sailing without fatigue.
Xu Shu looked around and noticed that from ti to ti, a group of people were entering the dock, leaving on similar small boats taken out by ’boatn’ from their pockets.
"It seems all boatn like to refine their boats into charm tools? It’s strange, I clearly killed a Third-rank boatman before, how co no charm tool dropped from him?" Xu Shu was both amazed and a little dissatisfied.
Ning Zhaoxuan controlled the water to sail, and the boat shot away at a speed completely defying fluid dynamics, reaching over hundred knots in just a few seconds.
The large ruins [Night Parade of Hundred Demons], its entrance is erratically distributed from Dongyi Island east-northeast 30° to 70°, over the 200 to 400 kiloters sea area, occupying a very large area.
Any island, reef, even turtle shell and conch encountered at sea, might be a hidden entrance into the ruins.
Most known entrances are fixed in position, but very few are mobile; and the corresponding ruins may have fixed, or random arrival at certain positions, forming a sum of four combinations.
The entrance Xie Xiaochan is heading to is one with indefinite external location but a fixed internal position in the ruins, with information bought at a high price, over three hundred kiloters straight-line distance from the border, but with Ning Zhaoxuan’s boat speed, less than two hours would be needed to reach.
Of course, this speed looks impressive, but in Xu Shu’s eyes, equivalent to a human-shaped high-speed rail, it’s just so-so, although land and water can’t be calculated like this.
Glancing at the endless Sea of Death and the gradually darkening water surface, Xu Shu felt slightly more vigilant.
It is well known that the ’Sea of Death’ is very special among the five seas, most famous for the "deep diving rule."
This is a standard used to assess the pollution danger below the water surface, one node every ten ters, representing a stage’s limit which a Transcendent can endure.
Xu Shu had personally dived and experienced this, exploding around 40 ters, the feeling as if surrounded and watched by countless monsters remains vivid in his mory.
After observing for a few minutes and confirming no potential monster attack from underwater, Xu Shu relaxed slightly and, like others, leaned by the window to rest a little.
Only then did he have the ti to chat with Gu Yue Ming.
"Long ti no see, Aunt! Congratulations on your promotion!" Xu Shu moved to sit beside Gu Yue Ming, transmitting his voice secretly to her.
More than a month ago, Gu Yue Ming was still a stage two ’Witch’, now eting again she was a ’Life Player’ in the Third Realm, with Xu Shu’s sharp eyes, it was unnecessary to ask why she hadn’t replied for such a long ti.
Obviously busy breaking through, in closed cultivation.
Of course, Aunt had been in the second stage for a while, mostly accumulated enough, smoothly advancing, considered a normal level.
Gu Yue Ming was resting her chin in the cabin, dozing off. When she saw Xu Shu already sitting beside her, she glanced nervously left and right, seeing no one else paying attention, she slightly opened her lips, smiling answer: "Hmm, Little Xu, long ti no see. Also congratulate you for entering human rank, Aunt got quite a fright seeing that."
