Chapter 214 Brother Chicken's Size: One Pot Too Big to Stew

"Everything inside the cabin is secured!"

At this moment, a sailor came to the wheelhouse, leaned on the door frame, and reported to everyone.

Ruan Hei responded.

After the sailors left, Cheng Feng stared at the sea ahead and asked:

"Our ship can withstand a storm of this magnitude, right?"

"Don't worry, boss, there won't be any problems."

Ruan Hei seemed very confident; he had participated in the construction of the ship.

Furthermore, the ship possesses other features that, in every respect, make it capable of weathering ordinary storms.

Just then, Cheng Feng saw a glimmer of light through the glass in front of him.

Soon the faint light began to approach rapidly.

"It's a ship, heading straight for us!"

Because of the dim environment, Hei Xiazi's eyesight began to improve, and he became the second person besides Cheng Feng to clearly see the light itself.

Upon hearing Hei Xiazi's reminder, Ruan Hei quickly turned the rudder.

But soon everyone noticed that the ship had also changed direction and was heading straight for them again.

"It's a ghost ship, we're being watched. Old Black, find the right angle, I'll sink it with the cannon!"

After Cheng Feng finished speaking in a deep voice, he turned around and ran towards the cabin.

Black Bear also followed along, hoping to help.

After the two entered the cabin, Cheng Feng moved the cannon to the muzzle position with one hand.

Hei Xiazi then loaded the ammunition.

Just then, the willow boat tilted at a sharp angle and a dull thud was heard.

"Luckily, this is a sea willow wood boat; otherwise, an ordinary boat would have been completely destroyed."

Cheng Feng, having regained his footing, sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on the outside, and he held the fuse in his hand.

Once Ruan Hei has adjusted to the right angle, he'll send this ghost ship to take a hit with cannonballs.

The Tanka people are trustworthy at sea. Before long, the willow wood boat made a nearly 50-degree turn.

The ghost ship ahead hurtled toward the side where the cannon was located at an almost floating speed.

Cheng Feng quickly adjusted the cannon muzzle and then directly pulled the firing line.

boom

With a loud bang, the cannonball was launched and hit the speeding ghost ship precisely.

Amidst the intense flames, the ghost ship's speed gradually decreased.

Finally, it glided close to the willow wood boat, gradually drifting away in one direction amidst the churning waves.

"As expected, no demons or monsters can withstand the cannons of socialism!"

Cheng Feng leaned against the cannon, lit a cigarette, and sighed.

He once saw a post online, the veracity of which he could not discern.

It is said that the hill behind an artillery regiment camp is haunted. Upon learning this, the regimental commander immediately deployed dozens of artillery pieces.

There were tens of tons of artillery shells aimed at this hilltop.

After the artillery had plowed up the hill, there were no more rumors of it being haunted.

"Let's go, let's go up and check if the boat is damaged."

After greeting Hei Xiazi, the two left the cabin together.

The storm at sea came and went quickly; the willow-wood boat battled the waves several times.

A glimmer of light began to appear on the horizon, and the wind and waves gradually subsided.

But unexpected events followed one after another.

On the deck, Ruan Hei, Cheng Feng, and others, who should have been in the wheelhouse, gathered.

"Now all the electronic equipment on the ship is malfunctioning. Without the compass, we're practically blind."

If we can't determine our direction, we'll get lost at sea and never be able to get back.

Ruan Hei looked worried. He had just entered the Spiral Sea and encountered a fatal problem, which gave him a bad feeling.

Cheng Feng remained calm. He and Yang Xueli had anticipated this situation, and immediately said:

"Blind man, go to the cabin and retrieve the box from my backpack."

Black Bear nodded in agreement, and after a while, he came over with a wooden box.

Cheng Feng took the box and placed it on the deck.

When you open it, you'll find a simple, old-fashioned jar inside.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Cheng Feng opened the jar, which was filled with clear water, in which a colorful little fish was swimming.

"This little fish is called the Sitian Fish, a very precious mythical creature."

At this point, Cheng Feng took out a red pill and threw it into the jar.

Soon, the celestial fish swam to the elixir and pressed it against the edge of the jar, creating a tense standoff.

"The Celestial Fish has the nature of responding to the moon. This elixir is called Taiyin Powder. When the Celestial Fish encounters Taiyin, it will push it eastward."

To absorb the power of Taiyin.

This little fish was one of the treasures left behind by Partridge Whistle, and Yang Xueli gave it to Cheng Feng before setting off.

The accompanying ingredient is Taiyin Powder, which is made using a secret method from the Mountain Moving Sect, and the materials used are all very rare.

Even if Cheng Feng knew the production method, it would be difficult to gather the necessary materials in a short period of time.

"We've got the direction now, Old Black, let's keep heading towards the center of the Coral Spiral!"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng took the jar containing the Si Tian fish and headed towards the cabin.

Ruan Hei had some doubts about whether the fish was really as magical as Cheng Feng had described.

But Cheng Feng's formidable performance along the way inexplicably gave him a bit more confidence.

He then returned to the cockpit and, guided by Cheng Feng, continued sailing deeper into the Coral Spiral waters.

The boat was moving very slowly at this time because there were too many reefs, which made Ruan Hei dare not increase the speed.

After a very difficult journey, Nguyen Hoi stopped the boat.

"Boss, judging from the distance we've traveled, this should be the depths of the Coral Spiral."

"Okay, let's go up to the deck!"

Everyone went up to the deck, and Hei Xiazi looked at the diving bells on both sides of the ship and said:

"Should I go down and check the situation first?"

Cheng Feng shook his head and said, "You all wait on the boat. Gu Cai and I will go down and check the situation."

"I?"

Gu Cai looked at Ruan Hei with some confusion.

Ruan Hei said with difficulty, "Boss, we don't know what the situation is underwater. It's too dangerous for you to go down like this."

Why don't we try this lump of iron instead?

Ruan Hei pointed to the diving bell and said.

Cheng Feng gave Gu Cai a meaningful look and said:

“It’s dangerous underwater for others, but I’m different from Gu Cai. I’m safer underwater without this metal shell.”

Through Cheng Feng's words, everyone understood some implied meaning.

Then, without waiting for Gu Cai to decide whether he wanted to go into the water or not, Cheng Feng walked directly to the side of the boat and said:

"Suit yourself, I'm going down now."

After saying that, he jumped into the sea alone.

The system notification sounded the moment Cheng Feng entered the water.

'Ding~'

The host has been detected entering the Ruins of Return.

Cleanup task issued:

1. Eliminate 13574 Black-Scaled Merfolk

Reward: Undying Dragonfire

2. Eliminate the Mermaid

Reward: Water Control

3. Eliminate Hai Ruo

Reward: Illusion

4. Eliminate Kunpeng

Rewards: Longevity Pill, Wind Control

In the sea, Cheng Feng didn't know whether to cry or laugh after seeing the task issued by the system.

There were indeed large goods in the Ruins of Guixu.

Chicken Bro was too big to fit in one pot, and Cheng Feng wanted to turn around and leave.

Just as described in the "Free and Easy Wandering" (a Chinese idiom), this thing is thousands of miles long, and when it transforms into a bird, its wings can cover the entire sky.

If it really is this thing, let alone Cheng Feng, even if the Snake God came back to life, he would be helpless.

Putting aside the Kunpeng, Hai Ruo is not someone to be trifled with either.

According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the sea monster is about the same size as a blue whale, but has hundreds of tentacles.

Each tentacle has its own sharp teeth; if you were to get caught in one, it would probably have a similar effect to a meat grinder.

This thing is inherently brutal; legend has it that it will devour creatures it cannot defeat.

"Since we're already here, we can only take it one step at a time."
