Chapter 238: Endless Sea Domain
“It’s Holy Spirit Island, no doubt.” Xue Zhengying nodded in confirmation.
“It’s been a while since I came here, and I strangely miss it.”
Chatting and walking on the familiar Holy Spirit Island, it’s a pity the outpost is different from an instance, with no instance monsters like that, otherwise he’d really want to absorb another wave.
Xue Zhengying didn’t know much about Holy Spirit Island matters, and while sighing about the changes in Binhai City over these years, he introduced the features of the Holy Spirit Island outpost to Wu Xian.
“Second Brother, did you come here back in the day?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but be curious.
“Of course,” Xue Zhengying replied without thinking, “This Brother’s 【Sea Demon Dragon】 back then was invincible throughout the league, so he’s very familiar with this Endless Sea Region side.”
Wu Xian suddenly understood, his eyes lighting up slightly.
Back then, among Xue Zhengying’s main force gold scrolls, there was a 【Sea Demon Dragon】 from the Dragon Clan series.
“I almost forgot about that,” Wu Xian said in a daze: “In that case, Second Brother is very familiar with ocean and Dragon Clan related laws, right?”
“Naturally,” Xue Zhengying nodded with a smile: “The scroll painting may shatter, but the law comprehension brought by the Sea Demon Dragon back then won’t be lost.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian couldn’t help but have his eyes light up.
To put it bluntly, Xue Zhengying had a very deep foundation in this aspect.
Although the 【Sea Demon Dragon】 from back then definitely couldn’t compare to the Dragon Lord, it was after all the same type of scroll painting, so the overlap in the law network was definitely not low.
“What if you were given another ocean, Dragon Clan related gold scroll?”
Xue Zhengying was stunned, “Don’t tell me your new ocean system work is exactly an ocean system Dragon Clan?”
“What a coincidence, it really is.” Wu Xian grinned.
“Hiss~, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Xue Zhengying was both surprised and delighted, his eyes uncontrollably excited, “Although it may not perfectly match the comprehension experience from back then, it will definitely be effortless to use.”
This was exactly the effect Wu Xian wanted.
In the meantime, they had arrived at the Holy Spirit Island coast. Once they set out to sea and crossed that domain light screen, they would have entered the Endless Sea Region.
The shore was full of people setting out with ships and renting boats.
“Whoa, such a big ship?”
Wu Xian was shocked by the several giant cruise ships docked in the harbor, his jaw dropping.
“Normal, the Endless Sea Region is infinite, large cruise ships are like mobile supply stations,” Xue Zhengying explained: “This is almost essential for large-scale expedition actions and long-term sea missions.”
Wu Xian suddenly understood.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Although he had the 【Laurel Branch】 flying sword, he couldn’t avoid running out of spiritual power, and at that time on the vast Endless Sea, there wouldn’t even be a place to land.
“For our trip, we can wait until the end-of-month battle and try for a large cruise ship.”
Xue Zhengying, familiar with the process, inquired with the persons in charge of several cruise ships.
As he expected, with the end of the month approaching and a special grade expedition in the Endless Sea Region, the routes of several cruise ships were basically set in the sea areas near the expedition mission.
The passengers on the ships were like them, many coming from afar to join in the fun.
Of course, joining in the fun was just incidental; the main purpose was to hunt ocean system monsters.
“Here, this is your anchor crystal. As long as you’re within teleportation range, it can teleport you back to the cruise ship.”
The tickets were a bit expensive, but the service and conditions were top-notch.
Wu Xian also learned for the first time that this kind of large cruise ship came with a 【recall】 function.
Unfortunately, this anchor crystal could only be used once.
“Hello, may I buy a few more anchor crystals?” Wu Xian curiously inquired.
“One thousand each.” The middle-aged old crew member blurted out.
“So cheap?” Wu Xian was overjoyed.
“It’s one thousand spirit crystals, not one thousand spirit yuan.” The old crew member rolled his eyes slightly.
“Uh, alright,” Wu Xian was dumbfounded, “Trouble you for… um… ten first, I’ll come back for more if not enough.”
With that, he handed over ten thousand spirit crystals to the old crew member, such lavish behavior inevitably drawing curious looks from other passengers.
Even the ticketing old crew member grinned ear to ear, “Alrighty, here are your ten anchor crystals. Call me if you need anything.”
“Ten seems a bit wasteful, no?” Xue Zhengying was puzzled.
“How can something for escaping with your life be called wasteful?” Wu Xian waved his hand grandly.
It was pricey, but who let him not short on money now?
Moreover, robbing a BOSS was such a dangerous thing; this kind of life-saving item was definitely the more the better.
Xue Zhengying pursed his lips and took his five anchor crystals, saying no more.
At this moment, he just wanted to quickly see the ocean system + Dragon Clan new work that Wu Xian mentioned.
Soon after, the cruise ship set sail, entering the Endless Sea Region filled with dimensional fluctuations.
It was Wu Xian’s first time coming, everything new and curious.
The advanced cruise ship had its own defense function; ordinary small monsters couldn’t break the cruise ship’s defense at all, and the cruise ship’s sailing speed was very fast, comparable to the Laurel Branch’s normal speed.
“Half an hour to the first sightseeing spot, stopping for one day.”
Xue Zhengying looked at the route map in the onboard handbook and said.
Called a sightseeing spot, it was actually the first training area. The captain and crew were all local veterans, very familiar with the Endless Sea Region, knowing where was dangerous and where was safe.
Moreover, the crew themselves were “adventurers,” coming to hunt monsters, with carrying passengers just as supplemental income.
In the cruise ship’s main control cabin, a captain in his fifties with graying hair leisurely watched the passengers on the deck, “The buzz for a special grade expedition is different, huh. Looks like this trip will earn a lot.”
“Isn’t it? Passenger numbers are more than double the usual, lots of out-of-town tourists.” The crew member beside him couldn’t hide his delight.
“Good is good, but safety first,” the captain seriously reminded: “Out-of-town spirit tamers don’t have sea experience after all. Tell the brothers to stay sharp, don’t ruin our 【Tianhong Hao】’s reputation.”
“Rest assured, the brothers have prepped the plans long ago.”
The captain nodded approvingly, “After safe return, bonuses won’t be short for you.”
Hearing this, the crew naturally grinned ear to ear.
“Right, Captain, there are a few big-spending passengers this trip. Should we pay special attention?” The previous ticketing old crew member said seriously.
“Is that so?” The captain’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Point them out to me.”
It wasn’t that they wanted to fleece customers, but based on their experience, rich people were generally hard to serve, had many demands and troubles, and could easily bring special purposes that might affect the safety of the whole voyage.
The captain looked down through the main control cabin’s glass window at those passengers on the deck.
Nothing stood out for now, just those two young figures caught his attention.
“Why does that young guy feel a bit familiar?” The captain frowned slightly, “Check that person’s name for me.”
The crew beside him flipped through the passenger registration info, “Reporting Captain, that person is named Xue Zhengying.”
“Xue Zhengying?” The captain’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“What, you know that young guy?”
The captain squinted and smiled, saying no more, just looking at Xue Zhengying with slightly lost in thought eyes.
Just back in the league, already eyeing special grade expeditions?
As expected of the legendary figure who consecutively cleared five Endless Sea Region special grade expeditions back then.
…
Wu Xian and the other on their side didn’t notice the captain’s covert attention.
Chatting idly along the way, the 【Tianhong Hao】 had arrived at the first sightseeing spot, various tourists and local adventure teams rushing off the cruise ship, scattering into the nearby sea area in various ways.
Wu Xian stepped on the Laurel Branch, while Xue Zhengying stepped on a black sandalwood coffin board.
After going far, Xue Zhengying finally released the 【Sea-Shaking Giant Beast】.
Splash…
The giant beast entered the sea, stirring up a circle of surging waves, the two steadily landing on the Sea-Shaking Giant Beast’s back.
“Quick, let this Brother take a look at your new work.” Xue Zhengying was impatient.
