#519 - Chapter 518: Desperate Situation on the Sea of Sand
That was an ice-blue ship, or rather, a ship tightly surrounded by solid ice, looking like a moving iceberg from a distance, advancing in a headlong manner.
This was the ship that Zhang Pingcheng and the others were on.
"What impressive methods, truly worthy of being a God-Chosen!"
Hu Quan stood on the deck, watching Fang Wan, who was standing alone at the bow, with his back to them.
Zhang Pingcheng murmured in a low voice, "With such strength, I'm afraid he can cleanse the Aberrations all by himself without us even needing to take action."
"Wouldn't that make us just bystanders?"
"Isn't being a bystander good? As long as we can complete the mission."
Zhang Pingcheng patted Hu Quan's shoulder, turned, and walked towards the cockpit. Hu Quan hurriedly followed.
Standing at the bow, Fang Wan's ears twitched slightly. After hearing the sound of the two leaving, he finally stopped tensing up. He supported himself on the railing with both hands, his chest rising and falling rapidly, the calm and composed look on his face gone.
With different elemental conditions, how could it be easy to navigate a ship of more than thirty meters steadily in the sand sea!
"What's so good about coming out to watch? Are you brain-dead!" Fang Wan cursed inwardly.
The reason he had left the cockpit earlier was that he didn't want Zhang Pingcheng and Hu Quan to see his struggling appearance. As a powerful God-Chosen, one naturally had to pay attention to one's image when out and about.
But what he didn't expect was that these two idiots actually followed him out and stared at him intently.
There was no way around it. As a powerful God-Chosen, he couldn't easily lose face, so he could only push his acting skills to the limit at this moment to create an unfathomable image.
Although the process was quite torturous, the result was still relatively satisfactory. At least the image was maintained.
Fang Wan smiled, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and was about to squat down and rest while holding onto the railing when Hu Quan suddenly walked out of the cockpit like a ghost.
Hearing the movement, Fang Wan paused, gently stroking the railing in a half-squatting position, and said to himself, "This is really clean. It's surprising that there's not even a speck of dust."
Hu Quan shouted, "Officer Fang, there's a situation. The ship hijacked by the Aberrations has stopped moving."
"Stopped moving?" Fang Wan turned his head curiously.
"Yes, I don't know what's going on. Why don't you come and take a look!" Hu Quan gestured.
Fang Wan slowly stood up: "There's nothing to see. Just bring the ship over there, and I'll take care of the cleansing."
That confidence, that composure, truly worthy of being a God-Chosen… Hu Quan nodded: "Okay, with you saying that, I can rest assured!"
Fang Wan waved his hand without turning his head: "Hurry back to the cockpit!"
With the help of Fang Wan's ability, the average speed of this ship had exceeded that of the ship hijacked by Li Chenqiu. In addition, Li Chenqiu had already stopped the ship, so the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.
In less than a moment, only a few nautical miles remained.
"We are about to arrive at the sand area where the lost ship is located. Everyone, stay alert!" Zhang Pingcheng's deep and powerful voice came from the cockpit.
In an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces on the ship became serious.
……
At this time, Li Chenqiu did not know that the crisis was about to arrive. He was staying in the quicksand, looking for his spatial ring.
"Damn it, why is it so deep? I can't delay any longer. I have to find the spatial ring quickly!"
In the darkness, Li Chenqiu pressed his eyebrows down, continuing to dive down with the help of the Endless Boundary, and the pressure on his body began to climb continuously.
Crack, crack——
The sound of bone cracking became more and more frequent, and blood continued to flow out. Under the dual stimulation of pain and high-intensity use of his ability.
Li Chenqiu clearly felt that his head was becoming more and more dizzy, and the cells in his body were revealing "tired" emotions.
"Close, just a little bit further down, a little bit further down and I can find the spatial ring!" Li Chenqiu shouted in his heart.
In fact, he didn't know how far away the spatial ring was. The reason he said this was just to comfort himself and give himself a boost.
After all, when facing difficulties, what you can rely on besides strength is your own will.
Just as Li Chenqiu's diving depth was about to break through nine hundred meters, his figure suddenly paused, he stiffly raised his head, and looked upwards.
Relying on his extremely sensitive characteristics to the aura of the Boundary, he clearly sensed that three familiar Boundary auras were rapidly approaching this way.
"Why so fast…"
Li Chenqiu's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He didn't have time to think, so he directly cut off the rope connecting him to the ship, dispersed the metal wall protecting the ship, and contracted the Endless Boundary inward.
In this situation, it was too late to return to the ship and sail away. Now, there was only a glimmer of hope to hide in the sand sea and wait for the three Eleventh Realm cultivators to leave.
"Seventy-Two Transformations!"
White mist rose around Li Chenqiu's body. He casually transformed into an ordinary sand fish, wagged his tail, and moved slowly.
……
The ship, which had lost Li Chenqiu's protection, was like a leaf in the wind in the sandstorm, as if it could be swallowed by the sand waves at any time.
Inside the cockpit, the bound young driver kept rolling, bumping left and right, his high nose bridge became crooked, and his face was bruised, looking very festive.
"Help!!!"
The young man widened his eyes and shouted loudly, but all that responded to him was the roar of the sandstorm.
In an instant, his expression became extremely desperate, and his sausage-like mouth kept trembling.
Could it be that he was going to die here today?
He hadn't been in a relationship, hadn't finished watching his dramas, hadn't reached the king rank in Honor of Kings, and more importantly, he hadn't spent a penny of the money he had saved!
"I'm not reconciled, someone save me!"
The young man's miserable cries echoed in the narrow cockpit.
Just as he was about to collapse, a deafening roar suddenly sounded.
Bang!!!
Immediately afterward, the precarious ship gradually stabilized, and a chill spread out, dispelling the choking dust.
The young man lay on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at the ceiling, a thought arising in his mind.
He… was he saved?
Whoosh——
A strong wind whistled, and a figure appeared in front of the young man. He turned his neck and vaguely saw a face that just so happened to be to his liking.
So beautiful… In my current situation, can I ask for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?
Thinking of this, the young man slightly pouted his mouth, but what greeted him was not lips, but… Fang Wan's slap.
Pa!
"Where did the person go?" Fang Wan grabbed the young man's shoulders and shook him hard.
The young man barely suppressed the urge to vomit and stammered, "I guess… I guess… the person might have gone down below…"
After saying that, his head tilted, white foam came out of his mouth, and he completely fainted.
