#517 - Chapter 516 Prepare to go to sea!

At the pier, ships returning from the sand sea were docked together, and combatants emerged from them in small groups, standing in the open space directly in front.

Before long, Zhang Heping and Hu Quan arrived together in front of the group, the former half-fist clenched to his mouth to clear his throat, just as he was about to speak, Hu Quan, standing next to him, leaned in and said, "Team leader, not everyone has arrived."

"Not everyone?"

Zhang Heping raised his eyebrows, looking quite surprised, and glanced at the members of the 5th squad standing in the first row, only to realize that Xu Ming was not present.

He turned his head and asked Hu Quan, "The sandstorm is almost here, why hasn't Xu Ming returned yet?"

Hu Quan replied, "Their return speed is a bit slower than ours, it should take about fifteen more minutes to dock at the pier."

"Nothing happened, right?"

"Team leader, don't worry, I asked, everything is fine."

Zhang Heping nodded slightly and waited with the others.

Time passed by, and the wind in the sand sea grew stronger.

Hu Quan squinted slightly, gazing into the distance, seeing that the sand sea was already covered with a layer of yellowish-brown veil, but there was still no sign of the ship, a hint of gravity appeared on his face.

He turned his head and said, "Team leader, I'll go ask about the situation."

"Okay," Zhang Heping responded faintly.

After receiving permission, Hu Quan turned around to leave when someone suddenly rushed out of the nearby camp, running to the two of them in a panic, and said anxiously:

"Two officers, something happened, the sixth squad's ship suddenly deviated from its course and turned to sail into the depths of the sand sea!"

"What!" Hu Quan's eyes widened.

Zhang Heping's face darkened: "Can you contact them?"

The man shook his head: "They are in a state of disconnection!"

Hu Quan's brows were tightly knitted together: "Team leader, if there are no surprises, Wang must have taken action, what do we do now?"

Zhang Heping turned his head, looked at the gloomy sand sea, and after a few seconds of silence, his eyes gradually became firm, and he turned to walk towards Fang Wan's camp, while loudly shouting without turning his head, "Hu Quan, prepare to set sail!"

...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

The wind in the sand sea grew stronger and stronger.

After seeing that the ship they were on had inexplicably changed direction, all the combatants gathered at the door of the cockpit.

Bang bang bang!

A burly man with a sturdy build slapped the door hard and shouted loudly, "Hey! How are you driving the ship? Don't you know the sandstorm is coming?!"

No one responded.

"Could something have happened?" Someone said uneasily.

At this time, the young man who went to Xu Ming's cabin to inquire about the situation stood on a high place and shouted, "Captain Xu is not in the room!"

As soon as this was said, everyone present finally realized something was wrong.

Crack crack crack——

The burly man twisted the doorknob of the cockpit with all his strength, but found that the cabin door had already been locked from the inside.

"Damn it, open the door!"

Still no response.

A fierce look flashed in the burly man's eyes, and he kicked the cabin door.

Bang!

The iron-made cabin door was kicked out with an inwardly convex footprint, slamming hard against the inner wall of the cockpit in the direction of opening the door.

Everyone turned their eyes and saw "Xu Ming" standing with his back to them, a headless corpse lying on the ground, and the trembling youth.

After hearing the movement behind him, Li Chenqiu slowly turned around, looking at everyone with a cold expression.

The burly man at the front swallowed and pointed at the headless corpse on the ground: "Captain Xu… what's going on?"

Li Chenqiu ignored him, reached out and patted the young driver on the shoulder: "Drive well."

After speaking, he walked towards the door.

The crowd gathered at the door hurriedly retreated, always maintaining a safe distance from Li Chenqiu.

Someone mustered up the courage to ask, "Captain Xu… did you kill that person?"

"Yes, I killed him," Li Chenqiu did not deny it and responded casually.

After hearing these words, a chill rose from everyone's heart, and their eyes gradually changed from incomprehension to fear as they looked at Li Chenqiu.

"Without them, can you still drive this ship?" Li Chenqiu raised his voice and shouted.

Hearing this, the young driver stammered and replied, "It will be… it will be a bit difficult."

A look of understanding flashed in Li Chenqiu's eyes, he waved his hand, and dozens of ice spikes condensed out of thin air and shot out quickly.

Puff puff puff——

The sound of flesh tearing rang out continuously, before everyone could even make a sound, they were pierced through the center of their eyebrows by the ice spikes, falling to the ground one after another, blood spreading out and turning into a pool of blood.

In less than a few seconds, only Li Chenqiu and the young driver remained on the entire ship.

"Difficult means possible, if you want to live, don't let me down."

Li Chenqiu kicked away the corpse under his feet, stepped to the railing, raised his palm and aimed it at the tumbling quicksand, activating his ability.

Swish——

Thick green vines roared out from his palm, tearing through the yellowish-brown dust and fog, and rushing into the quicksand.

The reason for doing this was not because he had reached the sand area where the space ring was located, but because he wanted to see how deep his ability could enter the quicksand.

The power of the quicksand was too great, even Zhang Heping of the Eleven Prohibitions couldn't withstand it, so he didn't want to enter the quicksand unless he had to. If he could take out the space ring with his ability, that would be great!

The thick vines continued to go down, and it was smooth at first. Although the power of the quicksand was strong, it was not enough to crush the vines, but this situation only lasted for a few seconds.

As the vines were submerged in the quicksand for over a hundred meters, the power of the quicksand instantly soared, constantly squeezing the vines. Every inch forward was extremely difficult.

Li Chenqiu did not hesitate, and directly activated the Endless Realm, enveloping the vines in it. In an instant, the pressure on the vines was greatly reduced, and they began to extend downward, and this situation continued until they left the Endless Realm.

Whoa!

A violent force climbed up along the vines, like an extremely turbulent wave, rushing out of the quicksand and hitting Li Chenqiu hard.

"Cough!"

His body swayed violently, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, he bent over and supported the railing, swaying and standing up, continuing to control the vines, advancing at the speed of a turtle.

The further down, the stronger the power of the quicksand, and because of the distance, the power of the ability would also weaken, which is why Li Chenqiu was so strenuous.

"If vines don't work, then try something else."

Li Chenqiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and with a thought, transformed the vines into metal, and after a while, transformed them into soil, constantly trying between various elements.

Finally, after spending a lot of effort, he obtained the limit distance of his own ability.

One thousand four hundred and twenty-one meters!

This was the limit distance that could be achieved using earth elements, and other elements were basically in the range of one thousand two hundred meters to one thousand three hundred meters.
