Back home, Grandma Mo had, as always, prepared dinner and was waiting for Luo Han to return.
"You're back, Xiao Han. Hurry over and sit down for dinner!" Seeing Luo Han at the door, Grandma Mo hurriedly stood up, her expression full of concern.
"Nothing happened today, right, Xiao Han? I heard a huge noise. You have to be careful!"
Grandma Mo's anxious expression was reflected in Luo Han's deep eyes.
I'll definitely make sure Grandma Mo survives!
Having made up his mind, Luo Han put on a smile and said, "Everything went smoothly today. There were no problems. Don't worry, Grandma. I'll be careful. Hehe!"
Seeing Luo Han's smile, Grandma Mo relaxed slightly.
Grandma Mo said, "Then come eat quickly! Grandma made lots of meat today. Eat more."
Luo Han said, "Mm-hmm! I've been craving Grandma's meat all day!"
Hehe! Grandma Mo smiled serenely.
After dinner, Luo Han went up to Green Cliff.
At that time, several Hunting Squad members were keeping watch on Green Cliff. They were older brothers four or five years older than Luo Han.
"Luo Han, why did you come up here?" one of the older brothers asked in surprise upon seeing him.
The others turned their heads as well, equally surprised to see Luo Han.
One of them said, "Yeah, Luo Han. You still have patrol duty tomorrow, so you should get more rest!"
Facing the concerned gazes of the older brothers, Luo Han could only say that he had just finished eating and come up for a walk, and that he would go back to rest soon.
After walking around for a while, Luo Han went back.
That night, after eating Rainbow Light Fish, Luo Han lay on his bed and began using Mind Guidance to evolve his body.
That was right—lying down!
It seemed that, in everyone's impression, cultivation was always done cross-legged. Was there some special bonus to it?
Luo Han did not understand. After eating Rainbow Light Fish, he cultivated while lying down, then went straight to sleep once he was done.
But after cultivating today, Luo Han closed his eyes and found himself unable to sleep no matter what.
The scenes from today's patrol remained vivid in his mind. The instant those Large Sea Kings surfaced, Luo Han had been drenched in sweat from head to toe, frozen in place as if he had been immobilized!
Sigh! He let out another deep sigh. Luo Han felt helpless. What was he supposed to do?
How could he save Ring Tree Island and everyone?
Improve his Psychokinesis and take everyone away. Develop Amaterasu and control every Sea King.
Or improve his Divine Sense to the level of All-Hearing, then become friends with the Sea Kings and ask them to spare the Divine Tree!
It seemed that none of those things could be achieved in the half year remaining.
He should first improve his physical talent and become stronger! Tomorrow, he would talk to Uncle Witt and start eating three Rainbow Light Fish every night for cultivation.
At the very least, when half a year had passed, he had to maximize his strength instead of being unable to move like he had been during the day!
The next day, the weather was clear. The clouds from yesterday had vanished without a trace, yet they could not sweep away the gloom in everyone's hearts.
Early in the morning, Luo Han told Uncle Witt that he wanted to increase the number of Rainbow Light Fish he used for cultivation.
Uncle Witt fell silent for a moment before agreeing to Luo Han's request.
After that, Luo Han began repeating the same routine every day: patrolling during the day and cultivating at night.
Luo Han's body grew stronger by the day, and his height gradually reached two and a half meters. But by then, no one paid much attention to it anymore.
Because, with one month left until the Scale Fruit ripened, Super Giant Sea Kings over ten thousand meters long finally appeared in the waters around Ring Tree Island.
Standing atop the Giant Kun Cole had transformed into in midair, Uncle Kate and Luo Han used Observation Haki and Divine Sense to perceive everything below. Both of them felt profound despair.
In the deep sea below, a Sea King twenty thousand meters long, shaped like an eel, coiled across the seafloor like an underwater mountain range. Within a radius of one kilometer around it, not a single Sea King could be seen.
The other Sea Kings lay obediently beyond that one-kilometer boundary, as though they were guarding a king.
Sure enough! Sea Kings over ten thousand meters long were on an entirely different level from those under ten thousand meters—not only in combat power, but even more so in intelligence!
The Sea Kings over ten thousand meters gave Luo Han the feeling that their intelligence was no different from that of humans!
"Don't lose heart, Kate! At least we still have Luo Han and Cole." Seeing that Uncle Kate was somewhat despairing, Uncle Witt spoke to him in a low voice.
Uncle Kate's whole body trembled. He looked at Uncle Witt, and determination gradually returned to his eyes!
Since the heavy rain half a year ago, more and more Sea Kings had gathered in the area. So afterward, Uncle Witt had begun patrolling with Luo Han, partly to protect Luo Han's life.
"That's right! We still have Luo Han and Cole. At least we can save some of the people." Uncle Kate came back to his senses as well.
As the two strongest people on the island, if they themselves lost the courage to fight, how despairing would everyone else be?
"It's not time for despair yet. We still have one month. We need to find a way to save Ring Tree Island. At the very least, we must save everyone on the island."
Uncle Witt looked down at the sea below, his gaze resolute.
Luo Han said nothing. A trace of helplessness and dejection appeared in his eyes.
Over the past few months, Luo Han had tried every possible method, yet he had still failed to find a way to save Ring Tree Island and its people.
That night, after returning home and having dinner with Grandma Mo,
Luo Han returned to his bed and lay down to cultivate. Even if there was no hope of saving Ring Tree Island, he still had to work hard to cultivate.
Perhaps due to the pressure of his circumstances, Luo Han's Mind Guidance ability had strengthened. Tonight, it should reach Cole's level of physical talent.
With the energy brought by the Rainbow Light Fish working in tandem with the aura recorded by his Divine Sense, Luo Han's body evolved at a terrifying speed.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Han would have been very satisfied, but now he lacked time!
Unfortunately, there was simply too little time. If Luo Han had been given several years, he might not have been able to save Ring Tree Island, but he could at least have taken everyone away.
What was more, given Ring Tree Island's current situation, even if an admiral came, it might not be enough. As long as he could take everyone away, Luo Han would be satisfied.
As Luo Han felt his body gradually evolve toward the aura recorded by his Divine Sense under the guidance of Mind Guidance, he also thought about his own situation.
Now that he had finished with Cole's physical aura, he should record the aura of an even stronger physical talent so that his body could evolve and grow stronger faster.
Then he thought of those Sea Kings! It could be said that, in the World of Pirates, they were the ones most dependent on physical talent.
He wondered whether Divine Sense could record the physical auras of those Super Giant Sea Kings. Sea Kings capable of reaching over ten thousand meters should have incredibly high physical talent, right?
Mm! It felt like... it should work! Luo Han suddenly thought excitedly.
As long as it was an aura that Divine Sense could record, it should be possible.
He would find out tomorrow by trying!
The next morning, Luo Han enveloped Uncle Witt's entire body in Psychokinesis and flew him to the border zone.
Before beginning their patrol, Luo Han explained the situation to Uncle Witt.
Luo Han said, "Uncle Witt, my physical talent has already evolved to Cole's level.
Today, I want to try recording the physical talent auras of those Sea Kings over ten thousand meters long.
If I can record them, my physical talent will improve even faster."
