Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Trapping Tang San at Every Turn
Since she had already taken precautions, Gong Yu wasn't worried about being tricked. After all, this world values strength above all else, and once she was on board and the ship set sail, controlling the entire vessel would be quite easy.
Therefore, Gong Yu and the others ultimately chose to sail out to sea on Haider's ship.
With everything prepared, Gong Yu and his group boarded the Ocean-Going Ship.
"Raise anchor, set sail!" With everyone present, Captain Haider gave the order, and the Ocean-Going Ship officially set sail.
The weather was fine today, and the sea was calm. Gong Yu took out the nautical chart she had bought last night when she left the auction house, and then pointed to an island on the chart, instructing Haider to proceed according to the island's location.
It was their first time at sea, so everyone was naturally very excited. None of the women got seasick, so the excitement lasted until almost evening before everyone gradually calmed down.
After dinner, Gong Yu learned from Captain Haider that the voyage would take about seven or eight days. Gong Yu didn't know if it was true or not, since it was his first time at sea. However, out of caution, he didn't completely believe Haider's words.
Time flies at sea, and soon night falls. It's a beautiful night, with the stars and moon clearly visible in the sky. The sight of the bright moon rising over the sea is truly captivating.
The beautiful night sky attracted many girls to come out and enjoy this rare and spectacular starry night view.
It wasn't until late at night that the girls reluctantly returned to their rooms.
The night passed quickly.
At dawn, a light mist hung over the sea as the crew brought out the breakfast they had prepared.
Breakfast consisted of black bread, fish soup, and a little smoked salmon and caviar—a standard breakfast at sea, which was devoured in no time.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, the usually lively Gong Xue jumped up and said, "I'm so full! Let's go to the deck for some fresh air and digest our food!"
Gong Miaomiao also stood up. Having eaten a hearty breakfast, she was naturally full of energy and said, "Great! Great! Let's all go up to the deck and get some fresh air. This voyage will probably last for several more days, and we can't all stay cooped up in our rooms all day."
Everyone nodded, then left their cabins and went up to the deck.
As the sun rises in the east, the morning mist over the sea is gradually dissipating.
Captain Haider came over with a few crew members, greeted them, and Gong Yu chatted with them for a few words, mainly exchanging pleasantries.
A short while later, Haider left with his crew.
After Haider and the others left, Gong Yu whispered to the women, "Be careful of these people during this time; they're no good."
"Has the young master noticed something amiss?" Gong Lan asked with some doubt, as she hadn't noticed anything unusual so far.
"Better safe than sorry. In short, we'll just have to be careful." Since Haider and the others hadn't shown their fangs yet, Gong Yu couldn't say anything more, so he could only tell his people to be more vigilant.
Upon hearing this, all the women nodded in agreement.
Nothing happened at sea, and two more days passed quickly.
That evening, after two days of eating seafood, the group had lost their initial excitement and felt nauseous at the sight of any seafood.
Surprisingly, tonight's dinner wasn't seafood, but rather fresh vegetables from their reserves. They had only been out at sea for two or three days, so they still had some fresh vegetables on hand.
Especially in recent years, Soul Tool have become popular throughout the continent, and there is no shortage of refrigerated Soul Tool, so it is not difficult to get fresh vegetables at sea.
However, the sudden change in the menu made Gong Yu more cautious.
After the crew had served all the dishes, Gong Yu transmitted a message to the women. "Something's not right with these dishes. I suspect those people are about to attack us. Everyone pretend to faint and see what they're up to."
After saying that, Gong Yu pretended to eat. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of poison. He possessed Domain of Fire, so even if he was poisoned, he could burn away the toxins in his body with a single fire.
The girls pretended to eat as well, and soon, following Gong Yu's instructions, they all pretended to slump over the table and faint.
Before long, Haider walked in triumphantly from outside the cabin, laughing heartily, "These guys are really wary. It took them three days of sailing to lower their guard, and we finally succeeded."
These young men, we don't know which noble family's scions they are. We've emptied their Soul Tool; we're rich! The captain will definitely reward us handsomely. Everyone, get to work, tie them all up, and dislocate their limbs."
But just as Haider finished speaking, Gong Yu got up from the table and deliberately stretched.
"Sigh... We've been waiting for you for so many days before you finally made a move, really." Gong Yu said unhurriedly.
Immediately afterwards, all the girls stood up and looked at Haider and the others with amusement.
Seeing that things were not going well, Haider turned around and was about to run out of the cabin when he saw Gong Yu flash by and block the cabin door.
Haider rushed too fast and crashed directly into Gong Yu, but was bounced back by Gong Yu's powerful body and then collapsed onto his buttocks.
"Lan'er, poison each of them. If they want to live, they'll obediently take us to the vicinity of Sea God Island. If they don't want to live, there's no need to give them an antidote." A ruthless glint flashed in Gong Yu's eyes. Without giving Haider a chance to explain, he slowly said to Gong Lan.
"Okay." Gong Lan nodded, and then, as Gong Yu had instructed, she used Blue Silver Emperor to poison the group of people in Hei.
After being poisoned, Haider and the crew members all became obedient. After all, there was still a chance to live, and who would want to die if they could live?
Chapter 284 The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King
Haider has a pirate crew behind him, but Gong Yu doesn't want to bother with it, so he's too lazy to find out more. His only goal is Sea God Island Sea God Island, so getting there is all he needs to do.
And so the Ocean-Going Ship sailed peacefully for another two days.
That night, Gong Yu was on watch. Leaning against the ship's railing, the stars and moon were dim, and even his Purple Demon Eye could hardly see far on this vast and boundless sea.
A sea breeze caressed my face, carrying a faint chill and a slightly salty, refreshing scent.
An oil lamp was lit in the control room. Usually, the first mate would be in charge of the ship at this time, but now that the first mate was gone, Haider did not rest.
Gong Yu stood on the ship's side, where she could see Haider in the control room. He was steering the ship while staring blankly into the darkness outside, plotting something in his mind.
A sudden pang of fear made Gong Yu realize something was wrong, and in an instant, he knew something bad was about to happen.
Gong Yu immediately rushed to the control room door, kicked it open, and said coldly, "Where are we? Don't try to lie. I check the angle of the stars every night. Our current course is at least ten degrees off."
Haider sensed something was wrong. He hadn't expected Gong Yu to be paying attention to the angle of the stars, so he immediately protested, "No, no, no, we haven't deviated from our course. I've been sailing exactly according to the coordinates you indicated on the map. The sea area we're in now is called the Demon Whale Sea."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu coldly laughed and said, "Fine, very well. You still dare to play tricks under my nose, actually leading us to the territory of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the overlord of the sea. Do you really think I know nothing? Since you want to die, then I will naturally grant your wish."
Haider was surprised by how much Gong Yu knew, but he still laughed sarcastically, "So what if you know? We've already ventured deep into the Demon Whale Sea, and I just released the fishing blasting equipment from under the ship..."
Before Haider could finish speaking, Gong Yu summoned several vines that pierced through Haider's body.
Haider died on the spot, and the remaining men were also stabbed to death.
Rumble...
The entire ship began to shake due to the explosion.
The girls had already been awakened and came out of their rooms to join Gong Yu.
Seeing that all the women had arrived, Gong Yu said urgently, "Everyone's here, so I'll get straight to the point. I didn't expect Haider and the others to still try to play tricks even when we controlled them with poison, so I killed them. But they also blew up the ship. Now everyone can only rely on their Battle Armor to fly and follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Yu summoned his Battle Armor and rose into the air.
Shortly after everyone took off, the massive cabin of the Ocean-Going Ship, and its hull encased in iron armor, was reduced to fragments by the violent impact.
The once calm seawater began to churn violently, creating towering waves. A thick column of water, fifteen meters in diameter, shot into the sky, distorting the air and becoming the culprit that destroyed the Ocean-Going Ship.
As the Ocean-Going Ship shattered, a massive body, resembling a small island, slowly rose from the water. All the surrounding seawater was bathed in a thick blue light; at that moment, it seemed as if the sky was the earth, and the sea had become the azure sky.
Suddenly, a deep, muffled roar resounded, and a massive sound wave surged forth.
Although Gong Yu and the others were in mid-air, they were still briefly dizzy due to the huge sound waves.
The enormous body that rose from the sea was over two hundred meters long. Although the color of the body could not be distinguished at night, Gong Yu immediately knew what it was upon seeing such a large body.
With a slight movement, its massive body unleashed a gigantic tail that rose from behind, shimmering with a distorted blue light, and slammed heavily onto the sea surface. Countless water droplets shot into the sky, each one like a sharp, swift arrow.
In mid-air, a strange curtain of water, glowing with blue light, illuminated the sky, and that enormous curtain of water enveloped the shattered Ocean-Going Ship and all the people who had taken to the air.
"Keep ascending, go a little higher. That thing isn't easy for us to kill right now, so try to avoid it," Gong Yu said loudly to the women behind him, looking at the approaching water curtain.
Without hesitation, the women followed Gong Yu and flew several hundred meters into the sky.
When they had risen to an altitude of about seven or eight hundred meters, the group stopped ascending and remained suspended in the air.
"What was that just now?" Gong Lan asked, still shaken. "I've never seen such a huge creature before."
Gong Yu slowly explained, "That's the Ferocious Beast Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, one of the three overlords of the sea. We are currently in its territory."
Na'er chimed in, "This is Ferocious Beast that was just one step away from becoming a god; its strength is estimated to be comparable to Di Tian's."
Na'er's words surprised all the girls. Most of them had met Di Tian before and naturally knew who Na'er was talking about. Apart from Na'er's true identity being kept secret, the girls basically knew all the Ferocious Beast that had come to the Academy of the Gods.
Gong Yu smiled and said, "This Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has cultivated for 990,000 years, making it capable of undergoing its tenth Ferocious Beast tribulation at any time. It is powerful, but compared to Di Tian, it is still somewhat inferior. Di Tian should have become a god, but the Divine Realm does not allow it, which is why he cannot ascend."
Gong Yu has evidence to support his claim that Di Tian is stronger. According to the normal historical trajectory, when Tang San killed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, his own strength was only level 96. Although he used some methods, he had not yet become a god.
However, Di Tian's record depended on his battle against Huo Gua.
Huo Gua was already at the God Level when he defeated Di Tian, and he also possessed Divine Artifact, which is why he was able to defeat Di Tian, but he only defeated him, not killed him.
It is evident that Di Tian's strength was indeed superior to that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. However, Di Tian was defeated by Huo Gua ten thousand years later, but relatively speaking, Di Tian's actual cultivation was only around eighty-seven or eighty-eight thousand years. So, no matter what, Di Tian was still stronger.
"990,000 years of cultivation!" the women exclaimed in unison, for this number was truly astonishing, exceeding their wildest imaginations.
Only Na'er performed poorly; as the Silver Dragon King, she didn't take the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King seriously.
Seeing the girls' bewildered expressions, Gong Yu smiled and said, "This big thing is my Ninth Soul Ring, which I've reserved. I'll come back to pick it up within a year."
"But right now, we need to get out of this sea area first. Once we're out of this sea area, we'll find our direction and then launch the Dragon Abyss Boat. We should be close to Sea God Island by then."
Chapter 285 The Three Great Ocean Overlords
"I wonder how much longer it will take to fly out of this sea area." As they flew, Gong Lan couldn't help but sigh.
"It won't take long, only a couple hundred miles or so at sea. We can fly out in less than half an hour." Gong Yu said as he flew, taking out a sea chart to look at it.
After aligning their current sea area, they found the direction of Sea God Island and immediately led everyone to fly towards the wind direction of Sea God Island.
About twenty minutes later, the group finally flew out of the territory of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Gong Yu then took out the Dragon Abyss Boat, infused it with his Soul Power to transform it into a sizable ship, and the group landed on it, finally finding a place to settle down.
"Alright, everyone, take a breath and recover your strength. We'll set off again when it's light." Gong Yu looked at the group of girls with a bit of heartache. Although their Soul Power was quite strong, flying with the help of Battle Armor consumed a lot of energy, so they all looked exhausted.
Following Gong Yu's instructions, the women all sat down cross-legged and began to regulate their breathing.
Gong Yu released his senses and, not sensing any danger nearby, sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.
As the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, Gong Yu and the girls slowly opened their eyes. Taking advantage of this time, they all began to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.
As the sun slowly rose over the other side of the ocean, everyone took out some dry rations to fill their stomachs, and then Gong Yu began to steer the Dragon Abyss Boat forward.
The Dragon Abyss Boat can be controlled simply by inputting Soul Power, which is quite convenient. However, to prevent Gong Yu from consuming too much energy, everyone took turns controlling the Dragon Abyss Boat along the way.
The journey went smoothly, but drifting at sea was rather uneventful.
With nothing else to do, the women begged Gong Yu to tell them about the powerful Soul Beast that inhabit the ocean.
Gong Yu was also helpless, but he only knew a few, though it wouldn't hurt to talk about them, so he began to list them. "The strongest Soul Beast in the ocean, everyone saw it last night, it's the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, one of the three overlords of the ocean."
"What about the other two overlords?" Gong Xue asked eagerly, and the other women also cast curious glances at her.
"The other two overlords are actually somewhat undeserving of their titles, especially the third overlord, who is like a domesticated pet, having lost his ferocity, so his strength is just so-so," Gong Yu said slowly. "The second overlord is the Evil Orca King, and the third overlord is the Demon Soul Great White Shark King."
"What are the characteristics of the three overlords?" Na'er asked. Although she didn't care much about the Sea Soul Beast, after seeing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King last night, she realized that the Sea Soul Beast were also very powerful, so she became curious about the sea Soul Beast Clan.
Upon hearing Na'er's question, Gong Yu raised an eyebrow. He had assumed that Na'er, as a princess of Soul Beast, would know more than him, but he hadn't expected that she didn't know much about Sea Soul Beast.
Then Gong Yu slowly explained, "Their characteristics are indeed prominent. As the overlords of the ocean, their size is naturally enormous, especially the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. As everyone saw last night, its length alone exceeded 200 meters."
"As for the Evil Orca King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, although they are also enormous, they are much smaller than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. However, the strength of these two overlords is mainly reflected in their own groups. Their groups are large and ferocious, and they mainly fight by attacking as a group."
Seeing Gong Yu pause, Gong Lan interjected, "What are the individual strengths of the Evil Orca King and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King?"
Gong Yu said with a smile, "The Evil Orca King is alright. It is a relatively strong Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, much stronger than the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, but it is not comparable to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King at all."
The Demon Soul Great White Shark King is far inferior. If it hadn't been protected by the Sea God, its clan would have been wiped out by the Evil Orca King long ago. Although it is also Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, after being tamed into a mount by the Sea God, it has long lost its ferocity as Soul Beast; it's just intimidating in name only!
The women nodded thoughtfully, seemingly lost in thought, their individual reflections unclear.
Gong Yu then added, "However, when you go to Sea God Island, you can't say that the Demon Soul Great White Shark King is weak in front of him. After all, everyone cares about their reputation. If you say that to its face, it might make things difficult for you. You should know that it is the Sea God's mount and the guardian beast of Sea God Island."
"Understood," the women replied in unison.
The women readily agreed, which pleased Gong Yu greatly. He then continued, "Having discussed the three great ocean overlords, I will now talk about Soul Beast that surpasses even the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and the Evil Orca King. It is not even weaker than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
"There are even stronger Sea Soul Beast?" The women were shocked again, even Na'er was no exception.
Gong Yu nodded and said, "That Soul Beast is also from the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan. It is the wife of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and is called the Demon Empress. Its cultivation level is unknown, but it is definitely no weaker than 900,000 years old, and may even reach 950,000 years old."
Gong Yu was also unclear about the Demon Empress's exact cultivation level. The Demon Empress appeared 20,000 years later, and later, due to its cooperation with the Abyss, it advanced to level 100. If calculated according to time, its current cultivation level should be 980,000 years.
However, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan cannot calculate their cultivation level by time, because the Deep Sea Demon Whale cultivates by devouring, and their strength does not increase step by step year by year.
After hearing Gong Yu's account, the women couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. They had never imagined that the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan was so powerful.
The rest, Gong Yu, hasn't been mentioned yet. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King also has a daughter, who is estimated to have reached the 100,000-year level as well.
