Chapter 1794: Chapter 1790: Rescue
“No, it can’t turn!” Zhu Mangqi shouted in panic.
At this mont, there was a sudden loud crash at the stern of the ship.
Everyone hurriedly turned around and was surprised to find that an octopus-like sea monster, as large as a hundred feet, with eight incredibly thick tentacles, was piercing through the protective screen and tightly clinging to the hull.
Just when they thought it was a monster attack, they were shocked to find that the eight-legged sea monster, with burn marks all over its body, was actually pulling the treasure ship in the opposite direction, struggling, helping them to escape the grip of the giant fire column.
“They actually followed us…” Shen Luo also noticed that the young child of the Water Absorption tribe was surprisingly on top of the eight-legged sea monster’s head.
But even with the help of this eight-legged sea monster, it only slightly delayed the ti of being sucked away, and such strength was ultimately not enough to help them out of the current predicant.
“Your Majesty Dragon King, the power of eleven people from the Water Absorption tribe is not enough, so release all of them. If they pull together, they definitely can.” At this ti, a voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked over to see that it was Shen Luo, whom they had been ignoring, who spoke up.
“Father King, he’s right.” Ao Zhan imdiately said.
Ao Qin thought for a mont and said, “At this point, I guess they can’t escape.”
After speaking, he glanced at Shen Luo, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes, but the situation was urgent, leaving him no ti to ponder, so he imdiately waved his sleeve.
A charm pattern lit up on the hull, followed by a rune array bursting with light at the bow, revealing figures of Water Absorption tribe people, all bound by chains connected to the hull.
“If you don’t want to die, then put all your strength into pulling the treasure ship,” Ao Qin shouted loudly.
The hundred or so people of the Water Absorption tribe outside the bow wailed continuously, but could only swim with all their might, finally managing to twist the bow’s direction and forcibly drag the treasure ship toward a crack in the Yan Sui Fire Vein.
The Dragon Palace monks on board were overjoyed at the sight, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
“Your suggestion was ritorious, there will be rewards when we return,” Ao Qin said to Shen Luo.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Shen Luo clasped his fists in thanks, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The giant treasure ship, under the pull of the Water Absorption tribe, plunged headlong towards the seabed, less than ten feet away from the pitch-black crack.
At this mont, a sudden howling sounded.
More than ten golden sword lights burst forth, shooting swiftly past from behind the treasure ship.
Ao Qin and the others watched in astonishnt as the sword lights swept past their eyes, unable to stop them in the rush, only able to watch helplessly as the dozen or so flying swords passed through the treasure ship’s prohibition light curtain, heading towards the bow.
“You…”
Ao Qin’s voice was a mix of shock and anger just as a series of frenzied sword clanging began to sound!
The “clang clang clang” of chains breaking sounded continuously thereafter.
The hundred or so people of the Water Absorption tribe had not figured out what had happened, but were jubilant to find that the chains binding them broke simultaneously, and they were free.
The leader of the Water Absorption tribe let out a whale-like sound, the first to abandon the treasure ship and flee into the distance, followed by the rest, not daring to linger.
The treasure ship suddenly lost its pull and, due to inertia, did not stop imdiately but continued diving towards the seabed, but was deflected under the attraction of the giant fire column, the stern tilting uncontrollably in its direction.
The eight-legged sea monster attached to the stern of the treasure ship and the Water Absorption tribe child could not escape in ti and were dragged along.
Seeing this, Shen Luo’s body flashed suddenly as he rushed out of the treasure ship’s protective screen, one hand supporting the massive body of the eight-legged sea monster, while the other made a fist and punched towards the giant fire column.
His arm with the fist swelled rapidly in the sea water, the power of Chiyou revealed, striking the fire column.
“Boom!” A loud explosion sounded!
Shen Luo’s arm was instantly wrapped in flas, the searing pain causing him to gasp in shock.
The imnse force of repulsion followed, pushing them, along with the treasure ship, away, distancing them from the giant fire column.
However, the fire clinging to Shen Luo did not extinguish, instead burning upwards along his body.
In just a few breaths, Shen Luo’s clothes on one side burned away, his skin lted, and his flesh and blood were dissolved by the flas, soon to reveal bare bones.
In unbearable agony, Shen Luo suddenly felt the burning area drop in temperature, and upon looking, found that two tendrils of the eight-legged sea monster had wound around him, wrapping him up and shielding him from the flas.
Enduring the searing pain, Shen Luo quickly retracted his flying swords and took out the Shrinking Earth Ruler.
Just as he was about to activate it, the bow of the treasure ship plunged into the black crack, a powerful pulling force drawing the entire ship through, into the crack.
“Boom”
Shortly after entering the black crack, a muffled crash was heard.
The out-of-balance treasure ship fell and hit the ground, skidding more than ten feet before finally stopping.
At the stern, the eight-legged sea monster had already returned to human form, holding the Water Absorption tribe child in its arms.
However, its arms and cheeks were covered in severe burns, scabbing over at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming scars.
Then, Shen Luo also stood up from the ground, his entire arm along with his shoulder and half his chest burnt by the Yan Sui Fire Vein’s flas, exposing ghastly white bones.
But at this mont, his mana was abundant, and the Great Unsealing Technique wildly active, rapidly restoring his burnt and lted flesh, leaving the eight-legged sea monster and the Water Absorption tribe child beside him stunned.
The damage to his flesh and blood was not difficult to repair, but Shen Luo was sowhat surprised that the arm burnt by the Yan Sui Fire Vein was incredibly numb; if he closed his eyes, he couldn’t even feel the existence of that arm.
Shen Luo looked up, seeing a layer of semi-transparent crystal stone a hundred feet above, with a nearly transparent light film beneath it, separating the space above and below.
Surveying the surroundings, he found they were in a vast underwater cave.
With the light from above the Yan Sui Fire Vein, the cave was well-lit, allowing a general view of the space, appearing to be several hundred feet in radius, not too large.
Red patterns laced the surrounding walls, as if Yan Sui Fire Vein’s magma was flowing through, making the temperature within the space extrely high.
At this mont, Ao Qin and the Dragon Palace monks jumped down from the treasure ship ahead.
“Hmph, good kid, hid well, but still got caught by you.” Ao Qin glared at Shen Luo angrily.
Beside him, Ao Zhan held a golden long knife, the blade resting against Zhu Mangqi’s neck.
Zhu Mangqi wore a pained expression, not daring to move.
