Returning from the deep sea is much faster than a deep dive.
Like a bubble rising from the seabed, Li Xingkong quickly escaped the deep sea under the protection of the Water Repelling Art. As the depth decreased, his vision gradually returned, and he once again found himself in a place bathed in sunlight.
It must be said that humans are creatures that rely on the sun to survive, and Li Xingkong felt very uncomfortable after only a short time in the dark environment.
Darkness robs people of their sense of security, and underwater, a person is in a state of utter helplessness, a situation that inherently causes extreme discomfort.
About half an hour has passed since Li Xingkong into the water, Jiaolong has dropped anchor here and is waiting in the nearby waters.
Li Xingkong had given him instructions before he went into the water, so Lou Zhiwu wasn't worried that he would run into any problems.
He joked that even if the ship sank now, he believed Li Xingkong could swim back from here.
Those who knew about Li Xingkong's secret mission weren't in a hurry, but some people on the ship were already getting anxious.
Normally, if someone is apprehended at sea, they would be immediately taken to the relevant place for detention. After all, they are at sea with so many people on board, and if they are not handed over immediately, these people would be a burden on the ship.
But the Jiaolong's actions are puzzling.
At least from the perspective of the fishermen who were arrested, its current whereabouts are indeed very strange.
Because there were quite a few people arrested this time, there weren't even enough devices to restrain them. They could only tie them together and simply restrict their hands.
They then confined their group to a small area on the deck and assigned several crew members to watch over them.
After all, none of them would dare cause trouble on the ship. If they cooperated obediently now, they would never be able to return home safely.
"I said, 'We're not going to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, are we?'"
Although their hands were tied, it didn't stop them from looking around. After watching the Jiaolong stay in this area for half an hour without making a move, some of the captured people began to mutter to themselves.
"That's impossible. Didn't they say that Divine Land People wouldn't lay a hand on ordinary people?"
Another person, who was also tied up, sat leaning against a railing, looking completely indifferent.
"I have experience with this. Just arrest them, lock them up for a few days, and then release them. It's a waste of food to keep small fry like us locked up."
"But they've been pacing around here for ages and there's still no sign of them. This..." Some people couldn't help but start to get anxious.
Looking at the guards around them, their faces were serious, and there was even a hint of pity in their eyes. Or rather, seeing the fool's expression, the group became increasingly uneasy. They were genuinely afraid that he would just be thrown into the sea.
The crew of the Jiaolong had no idea what these prisoners were thinking; in any case, no one gave them a friendly look.
As for harming them, that's impossible. These people aren't even considered human anymore; they're all treasures.
Each of them would at least receive a third-class merit award; there can't be any problems with that.
During this aimless wait, Li Xingkong emerged from the sea.
He leaped from the sea onto the ship, and before the people on board could react, he was already on the deck.
"Nailed it?"
After Li Xingkong landed, he quickly found Lou Zhiwu.
"Nailed it."
Li Xingkong gave an OK sign. He had almost mastered the Water Repelling Art Technique, and now that he was back, he could start innovating based on it.
With Li Xingkong's return, the Jiaolong did not linger and immediately began its return journey.
This trip was incredibly fruitful for Li Xingkong.
First, I took a trip to the seabed and experienced a completely different ecological environment. Then, I applied the Water Repelling Art and basically figured out the basic principles of this spell.
It can be said that Li Xingkong to do on this trip.
The remaining task is to adjust this spell based on the Water Repelling Art Technique.
Another thing is to test the effects of this spell on other people. After all, this spell was mainly developed for ordinary people to go to the moon, and for him, the spell's effective period is too short.
His strength is progressing rapidly, and by the time he lands on the moon, he may no longer need the assistance of this spell.
Thinking about human experimentation, Li Xingkong began to understand why Tang Cheng had also been thrown over here.
It turns out he was just a tool. Elder Tang had long anticipated that Li Xingkong would have this need, so he had thrown Tang Cheng over there early on.
As for whether Tang Cheng was willing or not, he himself was more than willing to agree.
After all, being used by Li Xingkong for experiments is different from being used as a guinea pig in ordinary drug experiments.
As an ordinary participant in the experiment, not only would the effects of various drugs be minimal, but any side effects would be Li Xingkong. However, he had already learned a great deal about Li Xingkong's immortal methods and had complete faith in the safety of the experiment.
Even if he ruins himself, Li Xingkong has a way to bring him back.
Moreover, aside from participating in other activities, you'll also gain a new spell—and that's a spell, after all.
In short, I won't need to go to sea for the subsequent repair spells. At most, after the modifications are completed on Tang Cheng, I can go with him to record the relevant data when he goes underwater for testing.
After reviewing the current progress, Li Xingkong felt very pleased.
The progress is going very smoothly, which means that the spell to enable people to survive in a vacuum will be completed soon, and one of my tasks is about to be finished.
Now he felt even more at ease eating the Body Tempering Grass that Divine Land had sent him.
After all, he had agreed to participate in the Guanghan City Plan, and he had a lot of things waiting for him to do.
Although no one urged him or asked about the progress of the matter, the weight of this matter on his shoulders gave Li Xingkong a sense of responsibility.
He kept thinking about finishing it quickly so he could relax.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be pointing at Li Xingkong and calling him an idiot, saying that there's always more work to be done and that he hasn't been working long enough.
For ordinary people, this is the case: once one task is finished, another one comes along; it's never-ending.
The faster you work, the more work you get, and your salary doesn't increase.
But for Li Xingkong, ever since he stepped into the realm of the extraordinary, he has had no such worries.
Because his power originates from himself, he himself represents power.
No one dares to negotiate with a man who carries a gun, even if his gun is holstered.
Li Xingkong's thinking was simple: he would do what he was told to do. He would do what he was supposed to do as quickly as possible, and whether or not he would do what he wasn't supposed to do depended entirely on his mood.
