Lin Xuan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Although he would be able to easily kill these mystic-rank sea kings four to five days later, he did not have the ability to do so at this time. He was already quite happy that he could leave safely.
Suddenly, all he could see was red. The corners of his mouth curled up into a sneer. ‘This was the best time to kill me. Unfortunately, you guys didn’t grasp it, so there is nothing you can do.’
The surfboard instantly unleashed its full power, dodging the bloody mouth of a huge sea whale. Looking back, a huge fish sank into the sea, splashing and making waves, leaving behind a brilliant rainbow.
The sea was really full of danger.
After moving in the direction of the next island for more than an hour, Lin Xuan finally arrived at his destination. However, the scene in front of him really surprised him.
This was not a small island, nor did he accidentally hit a sea king. What was above the water was a huge sea forest. It was very, very big, but the sea forest above the water was only the tip of the iceberg of this forest, more and more huge branches and leaves could be seen under the water.
This was a divine sea tree that was rooted at the bottom of the sea that connected the island to the sea.
Would there be devil fruit?’ This was Lin Xuan’s first thought, but it was no wonder that Lin Xuan had such thoughts. It was because this tree did seem like it would bear fruits!
Looking at the branches not far away from him that were filled with densely packed fruits, and the marks that seemed to have been bitten by some sea king species nearby, it was likely that devil fruit had appeared here!
Thinking of the countless sea king species fighting over this, Lin Xuan couldn’t wait to go in and take a look. After all, those huge sea king species couldn’t enter the inner part of the sea forest.
He put away his surfboard and dived in. He stood firmly on the thick tree trunk and looked inside. It was pitch black, and from time to time, he heard low rumbling thunder.
Thunder?
If one listened carefully, it could be the sound of breathing!
F*ck, he was lucky he didn’t fall onto that creature.
Could it be that a sea king was sleeping on this tree trunk, and when he woke up, his body became too big and he couldn’t get out!
This was… too great!
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Lin Xuan took out a light stick and waved it a few times, lighting up the environment within a few meters around him.
He reached out to pick a fruit on the side and pinched it. It was a little hard, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t eat it. He didn’t know if this thing could be eaten, but if it was poisonous… it was still okay… his vajra body could suppress a lot of poison. The main reason was that he was afraid that the method of eating it was wrong and that it might end up tasting bad.
He picked six or seven of them and put them into the sample bag, marked forest island one. Then he dug up a tree trunk, tore a few leaves, and threw them all into the sample bag.
He continued to move inside.
A black and white sea snake.
A group of colorful sea fish.
A prawn brandishing its pair of pincers.
There was a lot of small-sized seafood living in this forest… it should be seafood… right? The slightly larger ones were all sea beasts after all.
The fruits produced here were mostly non-toxic because they were being eaten by the seafood. As he watched a blue giant prawn swiftly cut the green fruit into two halves and devour the flesh inside, Lin Xuan could not hold it in any longer.
He broke off a slightly dried branch and roasted it with his Supreme Fire — Flame to evaporate all the water inside. Then, he easily set up a fire and kicked the blue giant prawn that had just eaten its fill into the fire. He then used a sharp branch to skewer it.
A pot of extremely fragrant prawn head soup was completed. Finally, he scooped up the prawn head, prawn shell, and prawn feet and threw them away, and added a little more strength to the hand-rolled noodles. This was F*cking awesome!
As for the peeled prawn meat, it tasted even better fresh. After roasting it over the fire, he sprinkled some sea salt that was discovered on stone island one and dug in.
He ate a bite of the prawn meat and took a bite of the noodles… his life was simply amazing.
After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, he wrote down in his little notebook — the forest island produces a large amount of seafood. The seafood tastes fresh and delicious, plus the meat is firm. It’s truly an excellent ingredient. I suggest developing a marine aquaculture farm here.
He carried on with his journey.
The Sound of thunder became clearer, and the place where the sound came from was probably in front. Lin Xuan became even more cautious because he could hear the sound of breathing from the edge of the sea forest. However, after walking for so long, he still could not see who it was.
He pushed aside a leaf that was blocking in front of him, and an enormous green-skinned sea beast appeared before Lin Xuan’s eyes.
This was an earth-rank beast!
This earth-rank beast was firmly bound. Its wings and legs were pierced by tree branches. Its life force was absorbed by this forest island, and it was already on its last breath.
This was an earth-rank 1000-year-old dragon!
That’s right, Lin Xuan recognized this huge green-skinned sea beast. According to the anime he had seen in his previous life, this should be a sub-dragon with dragon blood — the 1000-year-old dragon.
Lin Xuan was faced with a choice. Should he kill it?
If he remembered correctly, the dragon possessed the power of a phoenix’s rebirth. After death, it could be reborn again.
This dragon in front of him had probably been captured and imprisoned for a long, long time. Generations after generations of reincarnation, and yet they were all firmly bound by this forest. Tragically, it became a tool that provided energy and vitality to this island.
Because beneath the dragon, there were a lot of white bones scattered on the ground. That skull looked exactly the same as the one that was right in front of Lin Xuan’s sight.
However, it was a pity that he did not have the language fruit, nor did he have the domineering aura that allowed him to communicate with all living things. Otherwise, he could have discussed it with the other party that killing the beast was for its own good.
He could still give it a try. Although he was only at the yellow-rank, the other party was also firmly bound by the forest island and had lost a lot of vitality over the long years. It looked like it did not have long to live. Perhaps he really did have this opportunity, at the yellow rank, he could reverse-cut the earth rank!
“Hey there, can I kill you?”
The dragon looked at Lin Xuan coldly.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your acquiescence.”
As he approached the dragon, he endured the immense dragon’s might and climbed onto its back. Although it snorted in dissatisfaction, there was nothing it could do because its entire body was bound to the forest and it could not move at all.
In the end, Lin Xuan took out the Enchanted Wooden Blade and pulled at the dragon spine that was pierced through by the forest of the sea. Finally, he stabbed the blade into it.
