Chapter 470 Ao Wu Traveling Around The World
Chapter 470: The World Tour of Ao Wu
There was no suspense in the naval battle. Even though the ocean was Ao Wu's home turf, Gu Youyou's combat ability was never restricted by the environment.
Ao Wu's transformation between reality and illusion was powerful, but the same moves were ineffective against Gu Youyou.
Gu Youyou also executed a reverse transformation between reality and illusion, directly severing one of Ao Wu's real tentacles.
The tender tentacle fell onto the sea, twitching continuously, while Ao Wu in the water let out a miserable scream.
The sound of Sea Monster's destruction pierced through. In the past, Gu Youyou could only use Destruction Sword Intent to break down the sound waves one by one until her opponent exhausted their strength. But now, she could directly attack Ao Wu with Demonic Soul.
"If you scream again, I'll cut off all your tentacles."
The demonic voice entered Ao Wu's ears, and her screams immediately turned into sobbing.
"It hurts..."
In reality, it wasn't easy for Gu Youyou to kill Ao Wu. It was certain that she had to risk falling into a deep sleep in order to kill her opponent.
"This little squid isn't very capable. Cry after just a few hits."
Gu Youyou couldn't help but comment, feeling speechless. She had just finished warming up, and the battle was already over.
"An octopus is an octopus, a squid is a squid."
"They're all the same. I call her a squid, so she's a squid."
Gu Youyou's dominance was on full display, and Zhang Chi no longer had the intention to argue with her.
"It's good that you're afraid of pain. It'll be easier to subdue you."
Zhang Chi was also glad that Gu Youyou didn't have to fall into a deep sleep. If she did, even if she could kill Ao Wu, the survival crisis of Zhang Chi, Long Yan, and the others wouldn't be resolved.
This was the open sea, and who knew if there were ferocious sea creatures lurking around. Without Gu Youyou's strength as a backup, Zhang Chi didn't dare to wander on the sea.
Now that Ao Wu was admitting defeat, Zhang Chi could conveniently subdue her again.
"Ao Wu, you are not my opponent, and I have no reason to deceive you. The relationship between me and your sister is extraordinary. You don't need to worry that we are enemies."
After demonstrating her strength, Gu Youyou successfully negotiated with Ao Wu.
However, Ao Wu didn't dare to emerge from the sea again and only communicated through mental transmission.
"This time, you didn't lie."
Zhang Chi's heart stirred. Ao Wu indeed had the Divine Ability to judge whether someone was lying or not.
He just didn't know the principle behind it. Did she perceive it from his emotional changes?
He believed that his emotions wouldn't change significantly when he lied.
Moreover, just saying that he was Ao Long's friend, how could it be considered a lie?
But when he described it as an extraordinary relationship with Ao Long, he deliberately made himself feel anxious, simulating the fear of being exposed for lying.
As a result, she still believed it was the truth.
This Divine Ability was quite interesting.
"Between you and me, we are not enemies. There's no need to fight each other. The previous agreement still stands. As for the relationship between me and your sister, you can ask her yourself when you see her. How about that?"
When I see your sister, I'll bully her right in front of you.
Don't ask why I don't bully the younger sister. Well, if Ao Wu could defeat her without Gu Youyou's intervention, he would definitely bully both of them together.
Who makes choices as an adult!
However, even though he couldn't win in a fight, it didn't mean he couldn't use other methods.
Ao Wu, you don't want to see your sister being bullied, do you?
Ahem, let's tone it down a bit.
Perhaps Gu Youyou's previous sword strike had frightened Ao Wu. She didn't dare to refuse Zhang Chi's request anymore.
She enlarged herself once again, becoming a vehicle for the group, as if the previous events had never happened.
But the pain from the severed tentacle constantly reminded her that this person was very fierce. For now, she would tolerate it and avoid her sharpness.
"My sister, is she doing okay now?"
Ao Wu took the initiative to talk to Zhang Chi. Previously, it was Zhang Chi who approached her and they talked about Ao Long, which made her lose control and attack him.
After calming down from being struck by a sword, she thought about asking Zhang Chi for information.
Having been away from home for a long time, she suddenly encountered someone who knew her sister, so she was curious.
Zhang Chi thought she was trying to probe him and didn't want to say much, so he replied, "I haven't seen your sister in a long time, so I don't know how she's doing now."
The definition of "a long time" is uncertain, so this statement is not a lie.
However, Ao Wu suddenly thought of something. When she left the Western Continent, she headed westward, wanting to reach the legendary Falling Star Ocean. She had always been going westward, so it should be unlikely to encounter anyone so far away from land.
Where did these people come from, and how do they know her sister?
"Which immortal island are you from? Going so deep into the sea, your immortal island must be very powerful."
There are many secrets in this world, and perhaps she had just encountered a deeply hidden powerful immortal island.
Zhang Chi didn't know why she suddenly asked this, and he didn't think there was anything to hide, especially since this person had a built-in lie detector. So he told the truth.
"I come from the Western Continent, but I can't be considered an immortal island!"
"The Western Continent? How is that possible!"
Ao Wu was shocked on the spot, and what shocked her even more was that Zhang Chi wasn't lying.
"I clearly set off from the waters of the Western Continent and have been heading westward. And you came from the west, so how can you be from the Western Continent?"
"Oh, about that... Huh? You said you set off from the Western Continent and have been heading westward?"
Zhang Chi was shocked on the spot. He had previously joked that if he set off from the Eastern Continent and kept going east, he would eventually return to the Western Continent.
Wow, he encountered Ao Wu who had circled the planet shortly after setting sail?
Moreover, he seemed to be unaware of this fact.
This place is already far from land, and the eyes cannot see the land, so it's normal for Ao Wu not to know that there is land ahead.
"You're amazing!"
Zhang Chi looked at the octopus under his feet with great admiration. It was truly a fierce fish.
Setting aside their previous grievances, Zhang Chi had always admired people who traveled the world in person.
He curiously asked, "How many years have you been away from the Western Continent?"
"I don't know, but watching the sunrise and sunset, it has been two thousand times!"
"Two thousand times, only six years?"
Zhang Chi suddenly realized that this planet wasn't as big as he had imagined.
The ancient books had described it as an endless sea, stretching endlessly. Although it traveled 100,000 kilometers a day, it would take a hundred years to reach the end.
Ha, what a blatant exaggeration.
When Zhang Chi read the book, he only skimmed through it and didn't pay attention to the logical problems inside.
It is known that no humans have ever been to the endless sea, and no one knows how big it really is.
So here's the question, why would the book dare to say that it travels 100,000 kilometers a day and cannot reach the end in a hundred years?
Wow, he didn't even notice such an obvious logical loophole.
It's embarrassing.
However, six years is actually a long time, and the most terrifying thing about transmigrating to the open sea are the various disasters and taboos in the sea.
This shouldn't be an exaggeration.
In any case, it's best not to encounter such disasters. They are not far from land, so the possibility of encountering forbidden disasters is low.
"You've got the wrong direction. You should head towards the Southern Continent. You need to go southwest."
Ao Wu: "......"
She now suspects that the Falling Star Ocean does not exist.
She has been searching for Falling Star Ocean with Falling Star Ocean for so many years, but she only found the Eastern Continent and did not see the legendary Falling Star Ocean. She ended up near the Eastern Continent.
If she had known earlier, she would have come directly to the Eastern Continent. How much time would she have saved?
Ao Wu was suddenly struck hard, knowing that Zhang Chi was not lying, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.
"It's impossible, why is it like this? Falling Star Ocean clearly exists, why couldn't I find it?"
Ao Wu's mind was about to break, and she couldn't figure it out.
Even if she arrived at the Eastern Continent, where did the Falling Star Ocean go?
"Is it possible that you had bad luck and bypassed it?"
Zhang Chi speculated that the Falling Star Ocean should not be a sea area that connects the entire north and south. If Ao Wu had bad luck and went straight through the south, it was also possible.
In the vast sea, whether human or monster, it is difficult to determine one's own location.
Upon hearing this, Ao Wu was speechless.
It seems that there is indeed a possibility.
So she worked so hard day and night, only to make a wasted trip?
Ao Wu's mentality collapsed.
However, with a thought, she suddenly remembered something.
"Could it be that the Black Tide made me miss the Falling Star Ocean?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Zhang Chi pretended to be profound, but he didn't even know what the Black Tide was. But asking would make him seem more knowledgeable.
Ao Wu didn't have so many ulterior motives and answered directly, "I was once swept up by the Black Tide. In the Black Tide, I couldn't see anything, and even my Divine Soul couldn't sense anything. I could only vaguely feel the passage of time.
At that time, I thought I was going to die, but unexpectedly, the Black Tide dispersed, and I set off again to find the Falling Star Ocean.
Now thinking back, it's very likely that something went wrong at that time."
Ao Wu believed that her sense of direction should not be wrong. By watching the sunrise and sunset every day, she could determine the direction.
But she didn't know how far the Black Tide had swept her.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't give her an answer.
And with the experience of being swept up by the Black Tide, Zhang Chi couldn't even be sure if it really only took six years to go around the planet.
Just like when he traveled from the east of the Western Continent and entered the Secret Realm for two or three days, he directly arrived at the east of the Eastern Continent.
It would be impossible to travel that distance normally.
If the Black Tide had a similar ability, all previous judgments would be invalidated.
"There are too many secrets in this world, but unfortunately, I don't know what's going on. But it doesn't matter anymore. What are your plans next?"
Ao Wu was quite confused.
Zhang Chi said, "I am going back to the Western Continent. You have been away from home for a long time, so why not come with me?"
Zhang Chi planned to deceive a Sea Monster at the Monster Sovereign level to be his personal bodyguard.
If Ao Wu was willing to accompany him, he wouldn't even need to transfer to a ship at the Southern Continent. He could just ride the Octopus Mother back.
Zhang Chi's proposal also made Ao Wu's heart beat faster.
After being away from home for so long, she also wanted to go back and take a look.
"Okay then, let's go back together, but you have to teach me that move."
"Sure, no problem. We'll have plenty of time for that in the future."
Ao Wu was much easier to deceive than Ao Long, but she also made a new request.
"You go figure out a way to get a boat. I want to ride a boat, I don't want to swim."
Going back home is not difficult, but she is already tired of it.
Thinking about how she ran for nothing, Ao Wu's mentality has collapsed, and she just wants to lie down and do nothing.
Zhang Chi also knows that she is in a bad mood, so he agrees with her.
"Then let's go to the Southern Continent first and find a way to get a boat."
The matter was happily settled like this.
However, Zhang Chi didn't know that his dearest master was already waiting for him in the Southern Continent.
And Ao Wu's sister followed the trend and started heading to the open sea.
Hong Li has been in the ocean for a while, so the marine environment doesn't bother her.
Moreover, she has the bloodline of the Kunpeng, which is a giant beast that lives in the sea.
In the water, Hong Li feels like she has returned home, free and unrestricted.
Ao Long, on the other hand, feels a bit uneasy.
The warning signs from today have disappeared. After thinking it over, Ao Long still embarked on the journey with Hong Li.
Without the sudden tension from yesterday, her state of mind today is much better.
So, Ao Long feels that the so-called premonition may not be related to Hong Li.
Perhaps it was just not a good day to go out yesterday!
Everything went smoothly today, and the two demonesses managed to get a large boat and set sail.
They could swim on their own, but the journey is long and they don't know how long it will take, so it's better to take the boat and go slowly.
Looking at the vast sea in the distance, Ao Long couldn't help but sigh.
"I wonder if I can see my sister this time when we go to the Falling Star Ocean. It's been over ten years. If she can establish herself in the Falling Star Ocean, our chances of entering the Falling Star Ocean will also be greater."
Of course, the premise is that her sister can enter the Falling Star Ocean, and they can ride on her coattails.
But this kind of anticipation is just a thought in her mind.
The Falling Star Ocean is not easy to navigate, and although her sister is exceptionally talented, she has a straightforward personality and may not be good at socializing. It's probably difficult for her to do well in the Falling Star Ocean.
"Hopefully."
Hong Li also doesn't have high expectations for Ao Long's sister, but having a little more hope is still a good thing, and she is quite grateful that Ao Long is willing to help her.
They both don't know that Ao Wu didn't find the Falling Star Ocean at all, let alone find anyone inside. This trip will definitely be fruitless.
The two sisters have a strange fate, as one returns, the other sets off.
On the boat, Ao Long patiently tells Hong Li about some taboos at sea.
"The most terrifying thing at sea is not the ubiquitous ferocious beasts. Although these beasts are powerful and occupy very advantageous positions, they still pose little danger to people.
The most terrifying things are the taboos at sea, such as the black tide and the mist. These are things that cannot be resisted. When you see them, you have to run. Even if you and I are Monster Sovereigns, there is absolutely no way to escape."
Two Great Monster Sovereigns going out to sea can only fear the taboos that they cannot deal with.
Hong Li listens and solemnly says that she remembers.
This journey is a fight for their lives, so they must be careful in order to have a chance at Dragon Transformation.
Hong Li also casually asks, "Sister, what do the ghost mist and black tide look like?"
It's not surprising that Hong Li has little knowledge. The demons in the rivers and lakes have no idea about the dangers of the open sea.
It's only because of Ao Long's special identity that she knows about these things.
Now that Hong Li asks, Ao Long doesn't mind and explains directly, "The black tide is a tide that is as black as ink, it's easy to recognize.
As for the ghost mist, it's a gray mist of unknown size.
But don't worry, the ghost mist moves very slowly. As long as you see it, run away quickly. If you're not swallowed by the mist, you should still have a chance to survive."
"What you're talking about, it couldn't be that thing, right..."
