Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 46: Encountering a Siren Siege
Mo Wuji smiled and was about to speak when he saw Cao Hao and Yang Junsong hurrying towards them. However, Mo Wuji saw through their forced haste, recognizing it as a deliberate act.
When Cao Hao saw Mo Wuji, a flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes. Yang Junsong, however, greeted Mo Wuji with a smile, "Pharmacist Mo, long time no see."
Mo Wuji had no interest in dealing with this smiling tiger. He didn't even bother to acknowledge them, and instead said to Yuan Zhenyi, "I don't owe her; she owes me. What I owed was her father's act of saving my life, and he entrusted me with something. So, at least on the way to Chang Luo, as long as I know about it, I won't sit idly by."
Yuan Zhenyi laughed heartily, "Wuji, that's what I admire about you. Perhaps it's because of this nature of yours that we can become true friends."
...
In the communal bunk where Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi were, a man with a pointy face and monkey-like cheeks slipped in, saying in an exaggerated tone, "You were all wrong! The one who made the move was indeed Bi Hui from the Silver Han Lord Country, but the ones who left weren't the two of ours; it was Bi Hui's people! I just saw Bi Hui leading his people away in disgrace, and it looked like two of them were killed. Bi Hui must have lost."
"Those two are so powerful? Bi Hui is a prince from a Lord Country!" the blond youth exclaimed, inhaling sharply.
Because the status of a Lord Country was much higher than that of a Prefecture Country, the people around a prince from a Lord Country would naturally be no ordinary people. Only two people from their communal bunk went out, and they defeated them?
"Maybe after they went, Bi Hui and the others were outnumbered..."
...
The voice suddenly stopped because the door opened, and Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi walked in.
Although the two were clean and tidy, the people in the communal bunk felt that something was different. Even their voices became quieter.
In the following days, the large communal bunk was extremely quiet. Except when a few women in the bunk raised their tents to change clothes, causing some commotion, most of the time, everyone did their own thing, and there were no conflicts.
Mo Wuji had originally found the communal bunk very noisy. Now, this relatively quiet environment pleased him greatly. In the communal bunk, he also met a few nice people, besides the polite and gentle Qin Xiangyu. There was also the talkative blond youth Ruan Ye and a man named Tang Boxian, who looked refined and scholarly, almost as if he needed glasses.
Half a month passed quickly. During that time, besides Ding Bu Er frequently coming over, Han Ning's maid, Shao Lan, came once, mainly to thank Mo Wuji.
Other than that, the danger rumored by others never appeared. Mo Wuji was extremely idle, spending his days asking the people here about various cultivation knowledge. Every day, all he did was continuously try to feel the electric current in the meridian he had unblocked. However, he never felt that lightning flash. He even sparred with Yuan Zhenyi to try it out, but he couldn't stimulate the lightning flash.
This made him wonder if the lightning strike he unleashed back then was like the Six Meridian Divine Sword, sometimes there and sometimes not. Because no one here understood cultivation, and his lightning attack involved the meridian-opening medicinal liquid, Mo Wuji could only keep it buried in his heart.
The only thing he found a little difficult to say was that after everyone in the communal bunk became familiar, it was no longer as quiet as before.
Some people began to gamble, often making a lot of noise. This made Mo Wuji very helpless. He knew that the noise in other communal bunks was even louder, but he was not used to this noisy environment.
One day, Mo Wuji still hadn't gained any results after half a day. Ruan Ye rushed in from outside, "Brother Yuan, Brother Mo, I just got news that there's an auction on the second floor tonight, and there are cultivation techniques for sale at the auction..."
Mo Wuji, who had been thinking about how to feel the lightning power in his body, suddenly opened his eyes. Cultivation techniques? Isn't that what he's been dreaming of?
"As a servant, you dare covet things at the auction..." Along with the disdainful words, a red-clad man walked in.
The red-clad man's words suddenly stopped as he looked at Qin Xiangyu's bed. There was still a skirt hanging by Qin Xiangyu's bed, and the bed was blocked by a tent, as if she was changing clothes inside.
He rushed over without hesitation and tore open Qin Xiangyu's tent.
"What do you want to do?" Qin Xiangyu's frightened and angry voice came. Fortunately, she had just finished changing clothes.
"What a beautiful woman, and such a figure! I like it. You don't need to stay here. Come with me..." The red-clad man grinned and reached out to grab Qin Xiangyu again.
Qin Xiangyu flicked her left hand, and the sound of wind whistled, followed by a flash of purple light.
The red-clad man exclaimed in surprise and quickly retreated.
The direction he retreated in was where Mo Wuji was, and Mo Wuji kicked out without hesitation.
Perhaps the red-clad man did not expect Mo Wuji to dare attack him. He was directly hit by Mo Wuji's kick and was about to pounce at Qin Xiangyu again.
This guy's strength was not bad. Under the force of inertia, he could still twist his body in mid-air and land in the open space between the beds.
Then, he pointed at Mo Wuji, "Who are you?"
Mo Wuji swiped his hand and pulled out a sharp knife from his leggings. Yuan Zhenyi also stood up, flanking Mo Wuji.
Qin Xiangyu also landed on the ground. Only now did Mo Wuji clearly see that what she held was a purple soft spear.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a communal bunk, the red-clad man would have even thought that he had gone to the wrong place. How could the servants in a communal bunk be so fierce? He had been to other communal bunks, but no one had ever dared to treat him like this.
Just as he was about to call for someone to attack, everyone felt the ship under their feet shake violently. Everyone looked at the outside in shock, forgetting the temporary confrontation.
This behemoth had been sailing for over half a month since it set off, and it had never shaken so violently.
Before everyone could ask each other any questions, they heard a deep voice ring out in everyone's ears, "Our ship is currently under attack by sea beasts. Everyone on the 'Leaping Sea' is to immediately take your weapons and go to the deck without delay. Anyone who delays for thirty breaths will be thrown into the sea."
When the red-clad man heard this, he didn't even have time to question Mo Wuji and instantly rushed out.
The ship shook more and more violently. Yuan Zhenyi also said anxiously, "Wuji, we have to get out quickly. It should be sea monsters coming."
At this moment, everyone in the communal bunk grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the deck.
After Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi rushed to the deck together, they were stunned. He had never seen so many sea beasts attacking. The huge 'Leaping Sea' was surrounded by the attacks of sea beasts everywhere. These sea beasts seemed to have six legs, with sharp barbs on their backs. The thick scales reflected a blue light under the sunlight, making them look extremely solid.
What surprised Mo Wuji even more was that most of these sea beasts were spitting out electric light, just like electric eels. Some people who did not have time to retreat were shocked by these electric lights and convulsed all over, temporarily losing their ability to resist. If they didn't leave before the second electric light came, they would never have a chance to escape.
Just when Mo Wuji thought that there were only sea beasts that used electric arcs to attack their opponents here, he once again saw a sea beast that looked somewhat like a toad opening its mouth and extending its long tongue, directly swallowing a guy who attacked it, along with his knife.
"We have encountered a Six-Legged Lightning Crocodile group! Everyone, in groups of several, must not let these Six-Legged Lightning Crocodiles onto the ship! Remember, the weak point of the Six-Legged Lightning Crocodiles is their lower throat; the rest of their bodies are as hard as iron! Just attack their lower throat..." A strong middle-aged man flew down from the third floor of the giant ship and, as he spoke, cleaved out with his knife, cutting two Six-Legged Lightning Crocodiles into four pieces.
Mo Wuji clearly saw that this guy didn't attack the lightning crocodile's lower throat. This guy was so powerful; he must be an Immortal Master.
Several more screams came, and Mo Wuji smelled a fishy smell. He saw a Six-Legged Lightning Crocodile pounce at him, and at the same time, a flash of lightning struck down.
(The third update is here. That's all for today's updates. Good night, friends! The results have been rising very quickly these past two days. Thank you for your recommendation votes and rewards. Lao Wu will try to update three chapters as much as possible to satisfy everyone.)
