Chapter 7: Terror at Sea

Having recognized our direction, we swam towards the distance. The sea breeze grew stronger, and the waves became higher, with waves nearly a hundred meters tossing me and the demon wolf to the crest one moment and plunging us to the depths the next

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the only dock in Chek Lap Kok

Floating on the surface of the sea, my entire body is devoid of any strength. If it were not for the transformation that melancholy has brought upon me over the past year, I fear I would have long since perished in this vast ocean

The sharks in the sea were stimulated by the scent of blood, and immediately let out eerie shrieks in unison. Some of the sharks swiftly devoured the body of the shark that I had torn apart, while others fixed their cold, snake-like eyes on me. Countless long tails of the sharks danced on the surface of the sea, stirring up waves upon waves.

At that moment, a current of balanced and harmonious energy surged within me, revitalizing my limbs and every part of my body with renewed life and vigor

Jingyu was momentarily stunned, then lowered his head to look at the ship's hull, and his expression immediately changed.

What are you doing? I do not have that interest. Besides, even if you are anxious, let us discuss it once we reach land.

The shark swarm became terrified, unable to maintain their original formation, and were instantly consumed by the whirlpool. Just as I was straining to resist the force of the whirlpool, a massive shadow suddenly rose from the sea and lunged towards me.

The shark gradually approached, and I gave up on fleeing. In the sea, one truly cannot compete with such marine creatures, so I had no choice but to fight back.

"Brother Wolf, thank you!" I suddenly said

I forced a smile and pointed to the safety line on the boat, saying in a low voice, "Brother, I cannot go up. Not only can I not go up, but one of you must also come down!"

I have heard of this creature, a hybrid between a tiger shark and a sea snake. It is cunning by nature, cruel, and has a taste for human flesh. Whenever it encounters prey, it attacks in groups, earning it the title of the wolf of the sea. Even the tyrannosaurus of the ocean must retreat when faced with this shark-snake. I never expected that after narrowly escaping death, I would find myself in hell again; my luck is truly extraordinary!

I do not know how much time has passed when a deafening roar suddenly echoed in my ears, and a powerful force lifted waves over a hundred meters high. I grabbed the magic wolf, and our bodies were simultaneously swept into the air by the waves. In that moment of flying into the sky, I looked towards the red horn and saw flickering flames and towering waves; I knew that the red horn was finished

"Xiao Hei, don't!" Jingyu immediately understood my meaning and shouted loudly

A shadow leaped off the small boat and flashed to my side, "Little Black Brother, I will accompany you"

Was the Demon Wolf originally named Wu You? I felt an unsettling sense of something being amiss, but the imminent crisis left me no time to ponder. With a single punch, I sent a shark dragon that had leaped from the water flying. I increasingly felt the strain; my body became sluggish, and a dragon's tail whipped through the air, striking me. The glimmering scales cruelly scraped away a layer of flesh and blood from my body

"Fortunately, fortunately, I am not completely dead yet!" As soon as the words left my mouth, I was startled myself. In the past, while my voice could not be described as particularly captivating, it was generally full of vitality. However, just now, there was not a trace of life in my voice.

The demon wolf did not speak; he silently gazed at me and smiled faintly

I looked up at the increasingly large fireball in the sky and suddenly laughed, "Brother Wolf, the Red Horn is about to disappear. Do you think we will be able to witness the sinking of the Red Horn?"

The seawater is bitter and salty. As my body fell into the sea, the water surged into my nose, filling me with immense sorrow. Struggling to break the surface, I found the demon wolf still by my side, his face extremely pale, gazing at me with a look of profound astonishment.

No matter how powerful the true energy is, there will always come a time when it is exhausted. I cannot recall how many times I have soared, but suddenly my mind was filled with panic, and a feeling of suffocation surged over me, causing both my body and that of the demon wolf to plummet into the sea

Of course! The magic wolf understood my meaning and said with a smile

Thus, we continued to rise and fall amidst the sky and the ocean, our vital energy completely depleted. Just as we both fell into despair, the waves calmed, and the sea returned to its former tranquility

With a loud shout and a forceful grip, amidst a strange and eerie scream, I forcibly tore the shark into two halves, which then fell into the sea

I felt a darkness before my eyes, and then I fainted...

"Husband, the weak are prey to the strong!" Though she is the most gentle and beautiful creator goddess, she also possesses a cold side. Her melancholic voice is dark and chilling, filled with a sense of foreboding.

"Xiao Hei, what are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and come up!" Jing Yu shouted anxiously

I also began to laugh, seeing his appearance; even if he had the intention, he probably lacked the strength. I reached out and grabbed him, then I untied the straps of his prison uniform.

Brother, I truly regret not having met you sooner. Hehe, however, being able to know you, I, Wu You, can say that my journey in this world has not been in vain

Perhaps he no longer had the strength to answer my questions, and the demon wolf pointed a finger into the distance. Following the direction of his finger, I focused my gaze. Under the moonlight, about one kilometer to our right, a dark mass was rapidly approaching us across the sea.

"Commander, take good care of Mr. Wen, I will come to find you, take care!" I said in a low voice, and before Jingyu could leap into action, the demonic-breaking true energy I had trained for over a year surged forth with a roar. With this palm strike, I employed only gentle force; the soft true energy carried an exceptionally resilient power, steadily lifting the small boat and directing it towards the distant sea surface.

Husband, what are you doing

"Wolf brother, it seems we are destined to perish at the hands of this beast," I said wearily, while inwardly calling out, "You, my sorrow, do not waste any more of your celestial power. I am sorry, I no longer have the strength to protect you!"

Gradually, the machine also began to feel fatigued. Although there was assistance from the ethereal presence within, the number of shark monsters was overwhelming, far too many for me to eliminate completely. My body was drenched in the blood of the shark monsters, and as I stood atop the corpse of one, gasping for breath and looking out, I was met with a dense swarm of shark monsters continuously converging. Beneath me lay the massive shark monster, now reduced to stark white bones, while countless others lurked menacingly beneath the surface of the sea.

The shouts of the guards and prisoners were still faintly audible, and through the rolling waves, one could vaguely see someone jumping into the sea. I let out a bitter smile and said softly to the magic wolf, "Brother Wolf, excellent skill"

Upon hearing Youyou's words of affection, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. This was the second time Youyou had declared her love for me; the first time she uttered those words was a year ago during the duel with the Fire Lion. I suddenly burst into a silly laugh, feeling immensely proud to be loved by the woman I cherish.

I smiled and looked back towards the direction of the red clay corner.

The demon wolf did not respond to my words, but instead gazed into the distance at the red horn, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, they have made a choice, to either fight against the heavens or sit idly by and await their fate. I admire those who dare to fight against the heavens..."

I nodded slightly and suddenly grabbed the magic wolf, "Brother Wolf, let us transform into fish and birds!" As I spoke, I soared into the air, tracing a remarkably beautiful arc before descending towards the sea surface. Just as my body was about to plunge into the water, the true energy within me circulated for a full cycle. I let out a loud shout, and with a push from my toes, I surged up from the rising waves, soaring once more.

In an instant, our expressions changed. Having followed my own cleverness for many years, I somewhat understood what a meteorite is; it seems that this is something beyond human resistance!

I nodded with a smile, looking around. In the vast ocean, it was just me and the Demon Wolf, no, there was also the lingering sorrow within me. I had no idea where Jingyu's ship had drifted off to, but with the cultivation levels of Jingyu and the Fire Lion, along with the Yue brothers and Chu Ye Liuxiang, they would surely be fine.

What do you think? the demon wolf said with a bitter smile

Husband, let's fight together, hehe, it's been a long time since we battled at hetushu.com. The tone of melancholy is very relaxed, which instantly boosts my confidence.

As my vital energy stagnated, my body fell towards the sea surface. In that fleeting moment, I once again circulated the broken magic vital energy within me, like a bird soaring through the sky, weaving through the swaying tails of the dragons, evading the shark dragon's menacing white teeth and the shimmering phosphorescent tails. Like a specter, I struck down the shark dragon in the sea

A small boat is docked at the shore, rising and falling continuously in the waves. This is the only means of escape at Chila Cape. Due to the numerous reefs surrounding Chila Cape, large ships are unable to approach, leaving this small boat to serve as the transportation hub between land and sea

Brother, what are you laughing at

There is nothing, nothing at all, haha, I just remembered something funny! I quickly tried to cover it up

Brother, we are in trouble!" the magic wolf said weakly.

I smiled and turned to the demon wolf, saying, "Brother Wolf, I still do not know your name. Could you tell me?"

Hurry up! Without much thought, Jingyu reached out and grabbed the one who was being overly clever, leaping up and rushing towards the dock of the island. We also did not have time to consider, and followed closely behind. Behind us, a group of guards and prisoners trailed far behind.

I hesitated

What trouble? I was taken aback and quickly asked.

Husband, you have already done very well. I have always been a soul without a body, and being able to be with you brings me great joy

At this point, it is impossible for Jingyu and the Tianhuo Lion to leave. They must first stabilize the small boat; otherwise, if it falls directly into the sea, the people on board will surely meet a watery grave. Once they stabilize the boat, given the current speed of the seawater, even if they want to return, it will be impossible!

"Melancholy, I rely on you!" I said softly

"You seem troubled, what has happened?" I also felt a sense of unease and quickly asked.

Kill them! In an instant, the desperate guards and prisoners let out a roar and surged towards us

Turning his head to look at the demon wolf, he appeared even more unwell

Before we could settle our bodies, the waves surged again, throwing me and the demon wolf into the air once more

Before the words of Youyou could fall, the calm sea surface suddenly erupted with a towering wave, and a massive whirlpool abruptly formed on the water's surface

Wolf brother, what is that! A kind of heart-pounding sensation I had never experienced before surged within me, and I held my breath and whispered the question.

Husband is working hard, and I cannot be idle either! Husband, you looked so cool when you were speaking at the dock before! I love you to death!

It is the Demon Wolf! I never expected him to be the first to stand up. At that moment, I exchanged a faint smile with *Tu* *Shu*, and without further hesitation, I activated the Demon-Breaking Heart Technique, slowly pushing my hands towards the small boat.

Like an unflagging machine, I do not know how many sharks I have killed, but the number of sharks seems to be increasing, and the area of the killing ground is also expanding

Melancholy! When the celestial power is exerted upon me while I am awake, the toll on my melancholy is substantial. I cannot help but let out a low cry

"Brother, are you still alive?" The voice of the demon wolf was hoarse and weak

Wolf brother, can we still fight?

In the face of the shark dragon, no matter how fast we run, it is of no use. Thus, I quietly asked the demon wolf.

As soon as the wound was immersed in seawater, the pain made me grit my teeth. A ripple passed over the surface of the sea, and I rushed in front of that shark monster. Before it could react, I struck down on its back with a palm. This strike nearly exhausted all my vital energy, and the shark monster's body was instantly shattered into pieces. The flesh, infused with my vital energy, shot out like arrows, hitting the more than ten shark monsters surrounding me. The flesh pierced through their bodies, and the stench of blood mixed with the fishy smell of the sea was overwhelmingly pungent.

Hehe, just call me the Demon Wolf

Turning his head to look back, he saw guards and prisoners rushing from a distance, their cries echoing through the sky

"Shark Dragon, the most ferocious and terrifying cannibal king of the sea!" Before the Demon Wolf could speak, Youyou suddenly interjected.

The guards and the prisoners have rushed to the seaside, staring at us blankly, their eyes filled with an overwhelming killing intent

For the first time, I scrutinized him with an extremely serious gaze. These were not the words of a person who kills without hesitation; amidst the roar of the sea, the voice of the demon wolf carried a magnetic quality that stirred an inexplicable emotion within me

The sharks are approaching, and I can clearly see their faces. Their snake-like eyes exude a chilling cunning, while their robust bodies resemble those of tiger sharks, radiating strength. Additionally, their long tails, which are neither entirely snake-like nor entirely dragon-like, are covered in scales and glimmer with a strange murderous intent

Brother, I am sorry!" The demon wolf suddenly sobbed behind me

"What are you talking about!" I have lost the will to explain, pulling him behind me and binding our bodies tightly together with a strap. "Wolf brother, hold me tight!"

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky have turned completely crimson, and the originally fist-sized fireball has grown to an enormous size. I roughly estimate that within at most three hours, that meteorite will surely land on the island... The waves are growing larger and larger...

In an unexpected moment, I caught a shark dragon with my hands, my fingers deeply embedded in its body. A group of shark dragons rushed towards me, and I pushed off the long tail of one that was sweeping towards me, propelling my body into the air once more, while the shark dragon I had caught also broke free from the sea and the *illustration*.

To ensure that the small boat does not collide with hidden reefs while in transit, there is a waterline marked on the hull. This line also serves as the safety line for the boat; as long as the seawater does not exceed this safety line, it is quite easy to collide with the reefs. Previously, this boat was only used to transport some food, and making a couple of extra trips was not an issue. ... However, now that it is fully loaded all at once, it is highly likely ...

"Xiao Hei, hurry up here!" Jing Yu untied the rope and leaped onto the small boat

I looked at the approaching shark and gritted my teeth, saying, "I do not have the habit of abandoning my companions to escape!" After saying this, I swam vigorously towards the distance

"Wife, what should I do?" I whispered softly in my mind

After delivering a powerful strike, I found myself half-submerged in the sea. However, the shark suddenly ceased its attack, and a faint sense of unease began to stir.

The shark is indeed fierce, twisting its body to bite me even as I have caught it by the spine

Melancholy, even the Creator has no right to determine the lives of others. Since death is inevitable, why add another sin before dying? Let them live or die on their own. There are three hours left, and their fate is in their own hands

As I spoke, I felt the magic wolf leap several times. Its internal energy was formidable, even stronger than Jingyu and the others. For the first time, I realized that the top expert of the Red Horn was not Jingyu, nor the Fire Lion, but the magic wolf walking beside me! However, at that moment, I had no time to ponder such matters. In a few swift movements, we had already distanced ourselves from the Red Horn.

Brother, you still have the energy, hurry and run! The demon wolf understood my intention and said anxiously

"Wolf brother, what is the matter? Let us talk after we survive!" As I spoke, my body suddenly leaped out of the sea, soaring through the air like a bird, pouncing towards the shark.

The seawater was stained red with the blood of the shark, and the scent of the blood attracted more sharks. They formed ranks and lines, creating a vast killing ground that spanned over 200 meters in circumference. And I was the prey within this killing ground

Let us go! The Demon Wolf suddenly smiled, turned his head, and looked at the vast and boundless sea, chuckling, he said: "Brother, before considering the lives and deaths of others, we should first think about our own lives and deaths."

I don't know, I just have a very familiar feeling, but I can't quite express it...

I halted my steps and watched as Tianhuo, Shi, and the others boarded the small boat, but my expression inevitably changed. Including Jingyu, there were a total of eight people on the boat, and it was absolutely no problem to fit me into the small boat, which could accommodate ten people. However, the issue was that the safety line of this small boat had already faintly submerged into the seawater

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, its soft silver light enveloping the surface of the sea, ripples undulating, phosphorescence shimmering, I am entranced
