Old Child (2)

After searching for three to five days, the group had explored the entire island, but still found no secrets about immortality.

They even flew away from the island to explore other places, but in the end, they still found no answers; it seemed to be an unsolved mystery.

"It seems we won't be able to find the reason in a short time." Bingfeng walked over with a wry smile, her pretty face slightly tired. Clearly, she had put a lot of effort into this secret, but things didn't go as planned, and all her efforts were in vain.

"If we can't find it, let's just give up. This kind of thing isn't so easy to get." Fanxin Xin chuckled, picked up a glass of red wine, and handed it to the dejected Bingfeng.

He searched for several days, but to no avail. The day before yesterday, he and Ren Fang gave up and took their child to wander around the area, enjoying the beautiful scenery and eating plenty of delicious fruit.

"That's true. Oh well, let's look for it again when we have the chance later." Bingfeng nodded slightly, took a sip of the blood-red wine, and reluctantly agreed.

"What about you? Do you still want to continue searching? If so, I can extend the search period a bit." Fanxin looked at the others. They had been very proactive these past few days, but the more proactive they were, the greater the setbacks they suffered. At this moment, they were even more exhausted than Bingfeng.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to look for it. This is just torture. I'm starting to wonder if those kids are trying to fool us." Sun Zhijian looked frustrated, as if he had eaten a bucket of dog poop.

"Hehe, they definitely didn't lie. You've all felt the subtle changes in your bodies. However, finding the reason will take quite a while, and we don't have time to stay here indefinitely." Fanxin shook his head helplessly and said, "There's not much food here, not enough to satisfy so many of us."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the pot-bellied men, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes. These guys had been forced to lose weight these past few days; there was no other way, there wasn't enough food, and he couldn't let them eat to their hearts' content.

They eat too much; if they stay here any longer, they'll probably starve. Therefore, they must find a way to escape.

"That makes sense. Since we can't find it anyway, let's leave as soon as possible!" Wang Yan looked up at the monster's stomach, frowned slightly, and asked, "How do we get out? Should we just cut a hole in it?"

Upon hearing this, Fanxin pondered for a moment and said, "This is my decision: we'll place the ship inside the Diamond Space, and then we'll all wear specially made Flight Armor Luffy out."

"This is a bit troublesome," Wang Yan replied immediately.

The monster's body is very large, and it would take a lot of time to fly out. Moreover, if they encountered the monster feeding, it would be even more troublesome, as they could be knocked back by the food at any time.

"It is indeed a bit troublesome, but it would be a pity to kill this guy." A trace of worry flashed in Fanxin's eyes as he said, "The most troublesome thing is that if we hurt this guy, we will probably be in big trouble. The stomach acid in his stomach is incredibly strong. If we don't get out immediately, we will suffer a great loss."

Once the monster is severely impacted, its internal peristalsis will accelerate, causing stomach acid to gush out and flood the entire island. If they fail to escape in time, they will face the corrosive effects of this highly corrosive stomach acid.

Wang Yan glanced at the thick stomach with her narrow, beautiful eyes, her brows furrowing as she said, "That makes sense. My attack can't penetrate it immediately. Besides, the monster is in the sea. If I make a hole, seawater will rush in, and we still won't be able to get out."

"Yes, so we have no choice but to go back the way we came. It'll be a bit of a hassle, but it'll be safe," Fanxin nodded and said.

"When are we leaving?" Bingfeng asked as he approached.

"Let's do it tomorrow. Everyone should get a good night's rest tonight, and once we're refreshed, we'll leave," Fanxin said, glancing at everyone.

Everyone was exhausted, and it would be very difficult for them to get out of here in this state.

"Alright." Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one objected.

"Since that's the case, go and rest wherever you like. Don't bother searching for any more secrets to immortality; those things are rare and hard to come by." Fanxin Xin waved his hand and shouted.

No one said anything more, and they all went back to the boat to rest.

Fanxin then went to find the little girl and told them the time. They immediately made preparations.

The next day, everyone gathered together. Fanxin opened the entrance to the Diamond Space and sent the ship and all the original inhabitants of the island inside. Only Bingfeng, Wang Yan, Sun Zhijian, and himself remained outside. The rest of the people, as well as the magical beasts, were all sent away as well.

The fewer people, the better. That way, even if danger arises, he won't be overwhelmed and flustered trying to rescue everyone.

"Are you done yet?" Fanxin asked, looking at the four people beside her.

The three nodded, indicating that they were all ready. Fanxin took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, immediately put on his Flight Armor, stomped heavily on the ground, and shot into the sky.

The three of them stopped talking and followed closely behind.

Four figures soared into the sky, and in no time, they were above the stomach. Fanxin stomped on the stomach, used the momentum to jump, and went straight for the gastric tube. Soon, he darted inside.

The three people behind him followed Fan Xin's Fanxin, using the momentum to leap into the air and disappear.

Fanxin traveled at high speed, and ten minutes later, he arrived inside the monster's mouth.

"Its mouth is closed, what should we do?" Wang Yan walked over, and frowned slightly when he saw the dark mouth.

Fanxin turned on a bright light, glanced at the tightly closed mouth, and frowned. After hesitating for a moment, Fanxin looked at Bingfeng and said, "Make some ice pillars to pry his mouth open."

The icicles formed by the Bingfeng could extend indefinitely, enough to pry open even the tightest gap in someone's mouth, allowing them to escape.

Bingfeng nodded, walked up, and slapped the monster's tongue. Dozens of ice pillars instantly appeared out of thin air, then rose up from the ground and rushed towards the upper jaw at high speed.

The ice pillars were fragile, but after being imbued with the Haki of the Bingfeng, they became as strong as steel, and even the strongest monsters could not easily break them.

In a few breaths, the ice pillar shot straight up to the roof of the mouth, then forcefully pushed against it, slowly rising upwards.

Fanxin, Wang Yan, Sun Zhijian, and Bingfeng quickly headed towards the teeth area.

"Wang Yan, Sun Zhijian, you two go inside." Fanxin's Haki had been activated all along. Suddenly, he saw a lot of water slowly flowing in through the cracks between his teeth. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately scolded.

Water was flowing into the monster's mouth, clearly indicating that it was now in the sea. Wang Yan and Sun Zhijian could not survive in the sea; once they were submerged, they would be unable to escape.

He and the Bingfeng will be fine; the Bingfeng can freeze the seawater, and he can swim in the sea.

"Understood." The two of them surveyed their surroundings with their Haki, and naturally saw the seawater. Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed into the Diamond Space that had already been opened.

Fanxin immediately closed the Diamond Space, looked at Bingfeng, and said, "Increase the speed."

Bingfeng nodded, and once again channeled its power, causing countless more ice pillars to rise from the ground and rush towards the upper jaw.

Hundreds of icicles shot straight up, lifting the upper jaw and causing the monster's mouth to slowly open.

"Go in." Fanxin reopened the entrance to the Diamond Space and shouted at Bingfeng.

Without hesitation, Bingfeng jumped in immediately.

Fanxin immediately rushed straight ahead. When he reached the teeth, he plunged into the seawater, twisted his body, and like a fish, reached the outer sea.

The Haki of the Bingfeng instantly vanished from the monster's mouth, and the ice pillars, no longer indestructible, shattered and broke apart under the weight. The monster's mouth also closed instantly.

Once in the sea, Fanxin still didn't release the others, swimming freely alone in the ocean, heading towards the distance.

Seven days later, Fanxin left that area and then released the ship and everyone else.

After they came out, everyone felt relieved. They had felt very uncomfortable and depressed in that area of the sea.

"Little Black, I've hunted down a Sea Kings. Immediately tell the robots to cook some food; everyone's been starving these past few days," Fanxin said with a smile, pointing to the dead Sea Kings at his feet.

He had been traveling for the past week, and there was an old man in that area who made him very wary. To be honest, this was the first person he had ever been wary of since he became stronger; the old man's abilities were too strange. Although he had soul power and Raidен to restrain the old man, the old man was elusive and impossible to defend against, leaving him quite helpless.

He could hold off the enemy, but the others couldn't. Therefore, for everyone's safety, he didn't release them from that area, but instead focused on making his way until they were completely out of that area before stopping.

Along the way, he simply tossed some sea beasts into the Diamond Space. Those sea beasts were enormous, enough to satisfy the appetites of some of the crew. However, there were also many large-bellied magical beasts among them, and a few sea beasts wouldn't be enough to feed them.

"Understood." The Little Black Cat smiled, and with a whoosh, countless robots shot out and began to dissect the Sea Kings.

Fanxin plunged back into the sea to hunt Sea Kings. Soon after, several more Sea Kings floated to the surface.

More than a dozen magical beasts could no longer contain themselves. Drooling and drooling, they rushed over and began to devour the creatures, filling the entire sea with the stench of blood.

Fanxin Xin chuckled, returned to the deck, sat down, sipped red wine, and leisurely enjoyed the sunshine.

The gentle sunlight slanted down from the sky, falling on his fair skin and creating ripples of light that made him look even more majestic.

Fanxin gazed at the boundless sea in the distance, a smile spreading across his handsome face. He was in a great mood, and all the stress of the past week vanished in that instant.

"Hmm..." Fanxin was about to eat the Sea Kings meat that the robot had brought him, which was already roasted and smelled delicious, when suddenly he noticed something strange inside his body.

He immediately put down his knife and fork, calmed his mind, and began to examine his internal organs.

Under his control, his Soul Power surged rapidly toward the strange place. Soon, he discovered the anomaly within his dantian.

A fist-sized golden bead, radiating golden light, floated in the dantian, bobbing up and down. Within that golden light flowed a strange, mysterious power that spread from the dantian throughout the entire body.

Fanxin sensed it and found that the mysterious power seemed to be slowing down his bodily functions. If he sat still, his body was basically motionless.

"This feels so familiar." Fanxin murmured to herself, frowning as she pondered. Suddenly, a flash of insight struck her, Fanxin eyes widened in disbelief.

"This is the feeling I had inside that monster. Why can I still feel it now?" Fanxin blinked, puzzled. This was too strange. They had been away from the monster's body for over a week, and they shouldn't be affected by that mysterious power anymore. However, he seemed to still be under its influence.

"Am I the only one affected, or are the others the same as me?" Fanxin Xin muttered to himself, then he picked up the plate of meat and disappeared from where he stood, arriving in the Diamond Space.

He walked towards Ren Fang, who was standing not far away, while holding the plate of Sea Kings meat. When he reached her, he put down the plate, looked at Ren Fang, and said, "Darling, let me ask you a question. Have you felt anything unusual about your body?"

Ren Fang, who was breastfeeding, was taken aback by Fanxin's words and asked in confusion, "No, why are you asking this?"

Fanxin frowned in confusion, quickly walked over, leaned close to Ren Fang's ear, and whispered, "There's a fist-sized golden sphere inside me. That thing emits a mysterious power, and the feeling I get from that power is the same as what we felt inside that monster."

Ren Fang stared wide-eyed at Fanxin and said, "How is this possible? We've searched for so many days and haven't found anything. How could you have found it?"

Fanxin gave a wry smile and said, "I don't understand either. Try to sense your body and see if you can feel anything?"

Ren Fang immediately handed the child to Fanxin and calmed herself down to sense her own body. After a long while, she opened her beautiful eyes, shook her head, and said, "No, I don't feel that."
