Intercepting the Treasure
Zhang Xuezhou was extremely cautious when he approached Ding Kui.
His prediction was quite accurate. Ding Kui was close to having the ability to counter unrecognized life forms, but as long as the life force was reduced to the point of being on the verge of becoming a plant, Ding Kui would not make an attack judgment.
When he touched Ding Kui gently, he felt a repulsive force nearly ten times stronger than usual.
The seven-colored light of Ding Kui did not harm Zhang Xuezhou, but it was indeed difficult for him to pick up Ding Kui and leave.
"Huhao said that water can isolate Dingkui's influence, but I don't know if throwing him into the sea would be able to remove him!"
When Zhang Xuezhou held up the Dingkui, he felt a repulsive force that made his arm tremble uncontrollably, and the high-frequency shaking even made his arm go numb.
The harder he tried, the less he could hold onto Ding Kui; the more he used his cultivation and strength, the more vulnerable he became to Ding Kui's attacks. This peculiar treasure left Zhang Xuezhou speechless.
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the seawater crashing against the shore below the cliff. He felt that even if the seawater could not weaken Ding Kui's influence, it could at least provide buoyancy and had a high probability of weakening the traces left by Ding Kui.
Once we get away from this area and make it difficult for Hu Yu to track Ding Kui, the rest will be simple.
Thinking about Hu Hao and Hu Yu, who had transformed into giant fish and were chasing each other in the sea, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he was simply dancing on the tiger's head.
But he wanted to try his luck.
No matter what, Hu Hao and Hu Yufei's speed has been greatly reduced, making it difficult for them to launch a high-speed chase against him in a short time. Even if they were caught red-handed, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he still had a good chance of escaping.
He held Ding Kui in his arms and slowly moved towards the sea.
Nearly ten minutes later, Zhang Xuezhou gently pushed Ding Kui downwards.
As if a bomb had been dropped, Zhang Xuezhou felt that even the crashing waves against the cliffs couldn't drown out the sound of Ding Kui falling into the sea.
A burst of seven-colored light erupted violently, as if some rare treasure of heaven and earth had been born.
Five seconds later, the light slowly receded.
"Huhao is right, the water can indeed isolate the influence of Dingkui!"
Looking at the seven-colored light that rose only fifty meters high, and comparing its intensity, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Ding Kui's power unleashed in the water had not diminished much, but the range of its influence had likely been reduced by 99%.
After the light faded, he leaped into the sea below.
The waves beneath his feet only gently supported him as he fell into the sea before receding, and Zhang Xuezhou's body returned to its previous state of Grain Avoidance.
Without actively activating the Water Avoidance Instruction, the waves did not part and not a drop of water touched Zhang Xuezhou's clothes, but he felt no discomfort in the water. His body's passive ability to repel water allowed him to swim in the sea as naturally as a fish.
When he lifted Dingkui again, Zhang Xuezhou felt much more relaxed, and his arms no longer trembled as before.
He made a quick navigation, and then carried Dingkui as they walked through the sea.
Compared to the speed of flying hundreds or thousands of miles, his movement in the sea was undoubtedly slow.
Having witnessed the protracted struggle between Hu Yu and Hu Hao, Zhang Xuezhou felt relatively at ease as he proceeded.
"It's a pity we didn't destroy the hidden area where Ding Kui and the treasure are located!"
If no large whirlpool nearby sweeps Ding Kui into unknown depths of the water, Zhang Xuezhou believes that Hu Yu still has a chance to find Ding Kui.
Putting aside Hu Yu's strength, his ferocious beast-level physique alone would make it impossible for Ding Kui to hide in most dangerous areas.
Furthermore, Hu Yu must have a sense of Ding Kui, and it is only possible to sever the connection when he is far enough away from the other party.
"I really can't walk anymore!"
Nearly two hours later, Zhang Xuezhou felt his hands trembling uncontrollably.
He was traveling at a fairly fast pace, covering at least forty miles along the coast.
For the average person, this is an extremely long distance, but for a skilled flyer, it's just a matter of a few darts.
Having reached his limit in the lift, Zhang Xuezhou didn't force himself to continue pulling.
He surfaced and looked around, using the genetically modified crops generated by Huang Daoxian to determine his location.
If I'm not mistaken, the area he's in isn't too far from Huli Port.
The less genetically modified the crops, the more likely it is to be a temporary landing port near Huli Port, where Ren Yisheng and others could be found.
Zhang Xuezhou has been out for two days, which is a bit overtime, but Ren Yisheng will only start to investigate him anxiously three to five days after he disappears. At this point, he is most likely still at the temporary port.
Having determined his direction, Zhang Xuezhou surfaced, creating a gust of wind and waves.
His method of identification was correct. Whether he was moving forward or backward, he was either far away from the port where Ren Yisheng Ren Yisheng the others were located, or close to their location. It was simply a matter of choosing one or the other.
Fortunately, Zhang Xuezhou's gamble was correct. After traveling nearly 120 miles, he saw some vehicles parked at the temporary port.
"I heard you were enjoying the breeze on the coast; I thought you were planning to stay there for two days and two nights!"
Zhang Xuezhou has spent two full nights and one day outside, and adding the time spent today, it is indeed very close to two days and two nights.
After approaching the temporary port, he landed and ran. He then felt a gray-white figure appear beside him like the wind, and he complained again.
"Is Lord Badun still at the port?"
Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise.
The emperor may not be worried, but the eunuch is. Ren Yisheng can remain patient, Badun will most likely be furious and might even search for him in the vicinity.
"I wasn't supposed to stay at the port, but I had no choice but to!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou hadn't stopped, Badun couldn't help but continue his rant.
It was always others who waited for Badun; he had never had to wait like this before.
However, it must be said that Montespatton and Ren Yisheng Badun had absolutely no chemistry or understanding, but their results were undeniably solid.
As long as there is a result, whether the cooperation between them is good or not is not so important. He also hopes to cooperate with Ren Yisheng again to hunt and strive for a successful hunt in the shortest possible time.
Ren Yisheng had been wandering around for the past two days, not leaving the port at all until he met up with Zhang Xuezhou, which annoyed Badun, who felt that the Scarlet Alliance State were causing a lot of trouble.
He pointed to himself as an explanation, and then continued to criticize Zhang Xuezhou.
"Have you had enough of looking at the sea?" Badun asked.
"I want to find a boat to continue exploring the sea," Zhang Xuezhou said as he ran. "Does Your Excellency Badun have any fast boats?"
"Are you still going to look at the sea?"
Badun felt that Ren Yisheng had brought a huge burden with him, but Ren Yisheng insisted on traveling with Zhang Xuezhou so that he could take care of Zhang Xuezhou.
"There are treasures in the sea," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"The Qinmeng Sea is too far from the core area. Although there are many fish, exotic beasts are rare, let alone ferocious sea monsters. There are hardly any hunting opportunities in the sea," Badun corrected. "Even if you don't believe my judgment, you should at least know that ships travel back and forth in the Qinmeng Sea, but there haven't been any accidents over the years. This also proves that the Qinmeng Sea is barren. We don't need to waste time in the sea!"
In order to join forces with Ren Yisheng, Badun unusually gave a serious explanation to the younger generation.
But he soon realized that his explanation was superfluous. Zhang Xuezhou rushed back to the temporary port and, without even looking for his Ren Yisheng, fumbled for a small boat docked there.
