TFHS: Chapter 142

Everyone was talking about it, but it was too far away. They couldn’t see it very clearly.

Around two hours later, the distance was closer, and they were able to distinguish it.

What Feng Ming said was both right and wrong. There were clearly both sea beasts and sea ships. They could vaguely see several huge sea snake-like sea beasts fighting with the cultivators on the sea ship.

“Oh my god, what level are those sea beasts? It seems they can drive other sea beasts to besiege beasts,” Feng Ming exclaimed.

Seeing this scene, he felt that his father was right. The sea was indeed much more dangerous. Fortunately, he didn’t run into the sea and just watched from nearby.

Feng Jinlin judged it. “It seems like their momentum is quite strong. Those sea snakes are fourth grade, if not fifth. They are also in their home field. It will be very disadvantageous for the cultivators who enter the sea to fight.”

“Then the cultivators on the ship might not be pirates?”

“It is possible. Let’s see the situation.”

Just as Feng Jinlin judged, fighting at sea was very disadvantageous for cultivators. Even pirates familiar with the ocean would fall into a disadvantage after a long time.

After another hour, they could all hear a loud bang. The entire ship disintegrated under the impact of wave after wave of sea beasts.

Feng Ming was stunned, and the others were also shocked.

Once the sea ship disintegrated, the cultivators on board had no support anymore. Some of them were swallowed up by the huge mouths of the waiting sea beasts as soon as they fell into the sea.

Some cultivators tried their best to escape by using the wreckage of the ship. Two cultivators flew into the air and flew toward where Feng Ming and the others were.

“Wow, two essence dan realm masters. This means there must be at least a fifth-grade sea beast among those sea snakes.”

The two essence dan realm cultivators were flying in the air. Several sea snakes were chasing them in the sea below.

It could also be seen that the two essence dan realm cultivators were flying somewhat unsteadily. They might’ve been injured. What on earth happened to cause such heavy losses to the ship?

Except for these two essence dan realm cultivators, the others who fell into the sea probably had no good outcome.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to rescue people, but Feng Jinlin was the only one in the essence dan realm. Feng Jinlin also wasn’t good at fighting in the sea, and wasn’t willing to take risks.

The two essence dan realm cultivators in mid-air finally saw people in front of them. One of them shouted, “Fellow Daoist, save us.”

Feng Ming turned to look at his father. “Will you save them?”

Feng Jinlin narrowed his eyes. He looked at the two cultivators and observed for a while before saying, “I’ll go to pick them up, you wait here. These two people should be from a pirate group that I know.”

“Then be careful, Dad.”

Feng Jinlin flew out after saying this, and everyone else became alert.

Perhaps it was discovered that someone else was coming for reinforcements, but one of the sea snakes below suddenly jumped out and whipped its tail at one of the cultivators.

Once hit, the cultivator was likely to get an injury to his side and fall into the sea where the other sea snakes were waiting.

“Be careful!” Feng Jinlin shouted. The sharp sword in his hand flew out, and a sword light slashed toward the flying sea snake.

At Feng Jinlin’s reminder, the cultivator tried his best to change his flight path in mid-air. Then with Feng Jinlin’s sword blocking it, the sea snake failed to achieve its wish.

The pair of cold snake eyes glared at Feng Jinlin fiercely. Several other sea snakes also sprayed water arrows at Feng Jinlin.

Feng Jinlin was intent on saving people and had no intention of fighting with the sea snake, so he didn’t engage in a head-on fight in mid-air. Instead, he bypassed the sea snake’s attack in a roundabout way.

Once he reached the two cultivators, he grabbed one in each hand and sped off with them. They reached the shore, and these two sea snakes could no longer exert their advantage.

Feng Ming was terrified by what he saw. Fortunately, his father finally escaped from danger and successfully flew back with the two essence dan realm cultivators.

The moment they landed, the two men immediately thanked Feng Jinlin. “We will repay you for saving our lives later.”

Feng Jinlin waved his hand and said, “You’re welcome. You don’t know me, but I have heard of your identities. I am Feng Jinlin, the captain of the Wind Eagle mercenary group of Chiri City. Fellow Daoist Meng and Fellow Daoist Zhan might’ve heard of it.”

Feng Jinlin introduced himself, and the two men had indeed heard of him. “So you are the captain of the Wind Eagle mercenary group. Forgive our ignorance, but we have heard that Captain Feng is young, promising, and very powerful. After seeing you today, I find that your reputation is well-deserved.”

Feng Jinlin said politely, “No no. Why don’t you two fellow daoists heal your wounds first? It is safe here for the time being. The sea snake will retreat if they can’t get ashore.”

The two men looked down at the scene below from the cliff. Several sea snakes were slapping the cliff angrily, and apart from knocking down some rocks, they also stirred up huge waves and roared continuously. Still, they didn’t pose any threat.

It seemed that these sea snakes also knew it would be disadvantageous for them to go ashore, so they didn’t do so.

They were safe. This was the unanimous feeling of the two people, so they turned around and said to Feng Jinlin, “Okay, let’s heal our wounds first. We will talk to Captain Feng in detail later.”

“Okay, please.”

The two of them found a place to sit down at the top of the mountain to heal their wounds, setting up formations around them.

When meeting a stranger for the first time, it was impossible to have much trust in each other, even if they had heard each other’s names. Caution was necessary.

Feng Ming didn’t think it was strange and continued to stare at the movements in the sea. The sea snakes struggled for more than half an hour before reluctantly retreating.

Once the sea snakes retreated, Feng Ming looked toward the sea below and sighed. “The destructive power of these sea snakes is really great. Look at how many corpses of sea beasts are turned over on the sea surface.”

Wasn’t this exactly the case? The sea surface was covered by a sea of white corpses of sea beasts with their belly up, most of which were killed in the aftermath of the fight. They were the most innocent cannon fodder.”

If there weren’t already a bunch of sea beasts in the storage ring, Feng Ming would’ve asked his father to fly down and grab some for him.

As they were waiting for the two cultivators to heal, they saw more battles taking place at sea, once of which also involved the sea snakes.

It wasn’t known if they were venting all their anger on this ship, but after the ship disintegrated, no cultivators escaped.

In view of Feng Ming and his companions, another ship fled in a different direction. It was unknown if it could escape in the end.

After spending a night on the mountain peak, the two cultivators emerged from meditation when the sun rose on the second day.

Feng Ming and the others took the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise over the sea from the top of the mountain.

The two men came again to thank Feng Jinlin. Feng Jinlin invited them to sit down at the temporary stone table and asked them about the situation at sea.

“Fellow Daoists, I only heard that there were unusual movements at sea and it seems that the armored army has sent out ships. Since I’m not familiar with the situation at sea, I didn’t go out to sea. I just wanted to come and see if there is a chance to meet cultivators coming from the sea.”

The two essence dan realm cultivators didn’t expect Feng Jinlin to give this reason. It sounded normal and powerful, but it was a bit ridiculous.

One of the two was called Meng Yao, and the other was called Zhan Hai.

Meng Yao smiled. “I see. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Feng is here, or we would have no one to turn to for help.”

Feng Jinlin waved his hand. “The two of you are too polite. Even without me, I believe you could still escape back to the shore.”

Meng Yao and Zhan Hai smiled. Meng Yao continued, “We have withdrawn from the fight, so there is nothing wrong with talking about what happened at sea. Have you ever heard the story that there is a dragon in the sea?”

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo both showed surprised expressions. Could it be that there was really a dragon in this sea? Did Feng Jinlin guess it right?

The black crystal turtle stretched out his neck curiously and listened carefully.

Feng Jinlin nodded. “I have indeed heard of it, but never took it seriously. Even if there is a dragon, I’m afraid it won’t be my turn to take action. Not to mention the other four parties, the three nearby parties shouldn’t be missed.”

Meng Yao and Zhan Hai looked at each other, and Zhan Hai sighed. “Fellow Daoist Feng is still very insightful. Fellow Daoist Feng is right. This time, the Silver Armor Army of the Dongmu Dynasty, the Phoenix Guards of the Nanhuang Dynasty, and the core disciples of the Shengyuan Sect have all appeared. The other two parties are further away, or they wouldn’t have missed what is happening here. By then, the five strongest forces will gather in our sea area.”

Feng Jinlin and his group were all shocked when they heard this. Feng Ming was once again glad that he had listened to his father and didn’t rashly enter to intervene.

Just thinking about this type of scene made him feel thrilled. He hoped that when he had enough strength in the future, he would have the opportunity to see it.

Feng Ming couldn’t help interrupting as he asked, “Is there really a dragon?”

Meng Yao looked at Feng Ming, and Feng Jinlin immediately introduced him. “This is my child, Feng Ming, and this is my son-in-law, Bai Qiaomo.”

“It turns out to be the young master.” Meng Yao smiled. “No one wouldn’t be curious about this. The legend of the dragon has been circulating in this area for thousands of years. In fact, us pirates only treated it as a legend before and didn’t believe it. But this time, a dragon really appeared. It isn’t a real dragon, but a flood dragon.”

Feng Ming exclaimed, “There really is a dragon!”

Oh my god, a flood dragon was still a dragon. At most, it belonged to the sub-dragon species, but it still had a relationship with a dragon.

“Then what is the situation with this flood dragon now?”

Feng Ming’s appearance as a curious baby made Meng Yao and Zhan Hai laugh.

The other presents were also curious, including the black crystal turtle.

Men Yao smiled, no longer looking like a vicious pirate. He continued, “At first, a pirate found a trace of a suspected dragon in the sea, and recorded it with a photo stone. Somehow, the news spread. In this sea area, there is no force that isn’t curious about it. So some time ago, all parties started searching for traces of dragons, sucking in the three major forces.”

“After many joint investigations, it was finally found that it was a flood dragon. This flood dragon should’ve evolved from a sea snake. All parties suspected that the sea snake had swallowed something that could make its bloodline evolve, and it transformed into a dragon. Moreover, this flood dragon’s strength is infinitely close to sixth-grade. If someone can catch and contract it, they would undoubtedly receive great help. So even though the three forces participated, us pirates didn’t give up.”

“Over the years, the Dongmu Dynasty and Nanhuang Dynasty didn’t care much about the affairs of this sea. We thought we could fight with them, but we have been arrogant at sea all these years. We were too self-righteous, and our ship capsized first before even meeting the flood dragon.”

Meng Yao and Zhan Hui both smiled wryly. This time, it wasn’t known how many pirate forces were destroyed in this operation.

The two of them might as well say something more. Meng Yao said, “We suspect that the three parties are still eyeing the flood dragon, mainly to figure out where the flood dragon swallowed the heavenly treasure. Maybe there really is a dragon ruin under the sea. It is a real dragon, not the acquired evolution of a flood dragon.”

Feng Ming was shocked again. There really were dragons!

Bai Qiaomo smiled bitterly in his heart. He had never heard of these things in his previous life.
