Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the deck, meditating and cultivating. By today, they had been sailing at sea for seven days.
All around was still the boundless sea, with no trace of land in sight.
However, Jiang Liu was not impatient, because the process of martial arts cultivation was also tedious, boring, and lonely.
Having cultivated for so long, he had grown accustomed to this monotonous life.
Now sailing at sea, he still spends his days cultivating himself.
Beside him, the Fire-Winged Monkey was also sitting cross-legged, practicing its cultivation techniques.
Some of its fur has already begun to turn from red to gold, and it is estimated that it will eventually turn completely gold.
When all its fur turns golden, is that when it advances to the next level?
I don't know if this idea is right or wrong, but judging from the aura emanating from it, its strength is getting stronger and stronger.
Further away, Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue sat around, along with their Minor Grandmaster and Ranked Martial Practitioner.
Suddenly, a voice came from the mast, "Sir, there is an island to our left. Shall we go and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu stood up, leaped into the air, and looked in the direction the sentry was pointing.
It does seem to be a small island, but from a distance, it looks like an uninhabited desert island.
"I'll go take a look first, you guys come over later!" After saying that, Jiang Liu flew directly towards the small island.
Seeing Jiang Liu fly away, the Fire-Winged Monkey flapped its wings and followed behind Jiang Liu.
Seeing that the island was quite close, it still took Jiang Liu most of the hour to reach the airspace above it.
The Jiang Liu flowed down to the beach, and it was clear that the island showed no signs of being uninhabited.
There was some litter on the beach, and several large rocks had dried fish drying in the sun.
Jiang Liu was about to send a message to the approaching ships, telling them not to come any closer.
After all, the situation is unclear, so we shouldn't make any moves that might alert them. We also don't know if this is an outpost of Blood Demon Island.
Suddenly, the sounds of Exotic Beast echoed from the jungle inside.
Before long, a group of Exotic Beast rushed out of the jungle, followed by several humans dressed in strange clothes.
Before Jiang Liu could react, the Fire-Winged Monkey beside him had already produced a staff made of Yuan Qi.
With a flap of its wings, it appeared in front of the group of Exotic Beast, and at the same time, it smashed the stick in its hand directly to the ground.
With a loud "bang!", the three Exotic Beast running at the front were smashed into pieces, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere. They were then suppressed by the Fire-Winged Monkey's momentum and dissipated into the air.
This immediately startled the Exotic Beast that had been charging towards them, causing it to stop in its tracks.
The humans following behind also looked at the Fire-Winged Monkey with expressions of fear.
Jiang Liu quickly stopped the Fire-Winged Monkey, which was about to continue its attack, and calmed it down.
If it gets hit a few more times, all of these people and Exotic Beast will probably be wiped out.
When that happens, who will he ask? What exactly is this place? How far is it from Blood Demon Island?
Having walked for so long, Jiang Liu felt that something was amiss.
After all, according to the sea chart provided by Piao Han, they should be almost at the outpost island of Blood Demon Island by now.
However, looking at the appearance of this island, it doesn't seem to resemble the outpost island of Blood Demon Island.
Therefore, Jiang Liu wanted to figure out exactly what kind of place this was.
I don't know if it's because several years have passed or for some other reason, but Piao Han doesn't even know the way anymore, and he even took the wrong turn.
Before Jiang Liu could even ask a question, those strangely dressed people started talking to themselves.
After listening for a while, Jiang Liu was dumbfounded.
Jiang Liu couldn't understand a single word these people were saying.
Jiang Liu had no choice but to make a gesture to stop them, and thankfully they seemed to understand it.
Moreover, under the powerful pressure of the Fire-Winged Monkey, neither the person Exotic Beast dared to move.
After waiting for quite a while, the ship finally approached.
Jiang Liu told Ming Chengyun to bring Piao Han down, perhaps he could understand what these people were saying.
Piao Han, accompanied by Ming Chengyun, flew off the ship.
Upon arriving at the beach, Piao Han glanced at Jiang Liu and then approached the group, starting a conversation in English.
The two talked for quite a while before stopping.
"Sir, these are Tima People, locals who live in this area of the sea," Piao Han said, turning to Jiang Liu.
"Did you find out? How far are we from Blood Demon Island?" Jiang Liu said calmly.
"My lord, I've found out. Our course has deviated. These Tima People said that once we reach the big island ahead, we can turn back and return to our original course," Piao Han said cautiously.
He was terrified that if he angered Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu might kill him.
His primary responsibility lies with the fact that the previous flight path deviated from its course.
Unexpectedly, this detour led us on a long detour and ended up here.
Jiang Liu glanced at the sky and said helplessly, "Then let's rest here for the night and set off again tomorrow! We can also replenish our supplies while we're at it."
Seeing that Jiang Liu didn't seem angry, Piao Han turned to talk to the Tima People, hoping they could provide some supplies and water.
The Tima People looked at the Fire-Winged Monkey with a hint of fear, then agreed to Piao Han's request without hesitation.
Jiang Liu leaped into the jungle, intending to see the difference between the forests at sea and those on land.
As for communicating with Tima, he left that to Ming Chengyun.
Jiang Liu flew over the island and found that the island was quite large, easily several thousand square kilometers in size.
However, there probably aren't many people living on the entire island, but the scenery looks quite beautiful.
Jiang Liu, who was going to sea for the first time, was quite curious about this place.
Jiang Liu then descended and began exploring the forest.
They had only taken a few steps when suddenly a giant python opened its mouth and lunged at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu directly transformed his palm into a blade and cleaved the giant python in two.
Realizing it had been a while since he'd had barbecue in the wild, Jiang Liu immediately began to prepare the giant python.
First, we removed its gallbladder and examined it, but found no toxins.
Then he cut off a piece of meat and threw it directly at the Fire-Winged Monkey.
The Fire-Winged Monkey took the meat with a look of disgust, but still put it in its mouth and started chewing.
Jiang Liu waited for a while and, finding that the Fire-Winged Monkey was not acting strangely, began to remove the tendons and skin from the entire giant python, then marinated it, preparing to roast it later.
About an hour later, a mouthwatering aroma wafted through the desolate, dense forest.
In the shadows, a pair of eyes were fixed on Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey. The man held his breath and dared not move, for fear that he might accidentally attract Jiang Liu's attention.
He had just sensed a chilling threat from Jiang Liu and the Fire-Winged Monkey.
