Chapter 258: The Sudden Sea Island Incident
"Cooldown? Master always says things others cannot understand. Fortunately, I can understand every word you say."
"Haha, because Young’er is the smartest, the strongest, and the best," Xiao Shou said casually, feeling slightly guilty.
He was just experiencing aftereffects from his transmigrator habits.
He often used modern terms without thinking.
He only restraining himself when speaking in front of people like Gou Guangming who might be fellow transmigrators.
Fu Young’s eyes lit up again. "Master really thinks I am the best?"
"Of course."
Seeing his rare happiness, Xiao Shou nodded firmly.
At the same time, he absentmindedly observed the interior of the tree formed by his bloodline ability.
His night vision was strong enough to see everything clearly.
However, Fu Young’s face turned slightly red as he asked hesitantly.
"Am I better than anyone you know?"
"Mm-hmm. Definitely," Xiao Shou replied without hesitation.
He was fully focused on praising him and did not notice the subtle ambiguity in his tone or words at all.
Instead, he was intrigued by the patterns inside the tree trunk.
The wood grain was beautiful.
The more he looked, the more profound it felt, like something both extremely complex and yet extremely simple as if it contained traces of the Dao.
What kind of tree would have such patterns inside its trunk?
Seeing how certain he was, Fu Young actually said somewhat shyly, "I also think Master is the best. I like you the most."
"Really? I like you the most too!" Xiao Shou replied without thinking, following Fu Young’s tone.
Only after saying it did Xiao Shou feel that something was not quite right.
When he came back to his senses and looked closely, he saw his disciple’s jade like face slightly flushed and looking a little shy.
What was going on?
His gaze was unusually bright as if there was fire burning within it.
Fu Young sensed that his master’s feelings seemed to match his own and he could not help but take a step forward.
He want to tell him what he had been feeling every time he saw him recently.
"Master, whenever I see you lately, I feel like I want to..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake.
Before the two of them could react, a crack tore open between them.
A surge of lead gray geomagnetic force burst out from the fissure and wrapping around them in an irresistible force.
Then, as if it had the ability to teleport, the force vanished together with the two of them, leaving only the crack behind as proof it had ever appeared.
"Geomagnetic force? Interesting."
Tushan Qing who had been watching from the side blinked his fox like eyes and rested his chin on his hand.
Geomagnetic force again?
Does Geomagnetic force have a grudge against him?
He had clearly been about to say something very important to his master just now and now everything was ruined.
Fu Young’s face darkened.
He released his divine sense, trying to find Xiao Shou and immediately sensed a towering figure over ten meters tall from somewhere within his perception range.
He was slightly startled.
"Giant race? Where is this?"
...
Just as Fu Young was about to say "I want to be with you...", Xiao Shou had no idea what was happening when the ground under him and his disciple suddenly split open.
It looked like something had emerged from the crack.
He had clearly used defensive talismans for both himself and Fu Young, yet in the next moment he lost all perception.
His mind went dizzy and he remained dazed for a long while before slowly regaining awareness.
When his consciousness cleared, Xiao Shou opened his eyes and found himself standing on a pitch black piece of land.
Above his was a vast blue sky and all around was also an endless blue expanse.
After extending his divine sense, he realized the place he stood on was a tiny island less than 500 meter wide, completely dark and lifeless.
Xiao Shou said in surprise, "This is the sea? How did we suddenly get here? What exactly was that thing that rushed out from underground just now?"
After speaking, he flew upward trying to survey the surroundings.
However, before he had flown more than hundreds meter away from the dark island several Tier 5 sea beasts suddenly burst out from the ocean below.
Their combat power was comparable to Nascent Soul level cultivators and they attacked him directly.
Only at this moment did Xiao Shou recall that along the way, the area around that island had been devoid of life.
The sea within a hundred meters was also pitch black, with no birds, beasts, fish, or insects.
But beyond that range, the ocean seemed to be filled with life.
Though there were still no flying birds in the sky.
Even so, this numbers was far too much.
How could so many Tier 5 sea beasts appear at once?
There should not be this many sea beasts in the Heaven Origin Realm.
Xiao Shou dodged the attacks while continuously using various tools to counterattack.
After holding on for more than half an hour and killing several Tier 5 sea beasts, he finally managed to catch his breath.
But soon after, he sensed even more Tier 5 sea beast auras approaching him from a distance.
Feeling the remaining spiritual energy in his body was limited, Xiao Shou immediately collected the corpses of the sea beasts and fled back toward the direction of the dark island.
When he returned near the island, he was surprised to discover that the approaching sea beasts only roared at a distance outside the dark island.
None of them dared to step even one inch closer.
Seeing this, Xiao Shou landed on the dark island again.
At present, he did not need to rush out to investigate the surroundings.
It was better to first figure out why these sea beasts would not approach this island.
Moreover, Fu Young might have been transported nearby as well.
