Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 529: Chapter 247: Tier 3 Demon Beast—Thunderstorm Serpent

As soon as he left the Whale Patrol Boat, he summoned his own Wind Willow Flying Boat, with a top-grade Spirit Robe also forming a protective light shield, tightly guarding him.

The Flowing Frost Flying Sword hovered in front of him as he did his best to spread his Divine Sense to search around.

He couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Wailing Wanderer; presumably, he had already fled the area.

As for those Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him… Ji Yuan even wanted to save them, but his capabilities were insufficient; he could barely protect himself, let alone save others.

“If that’s the case, then let’s run quickly!”

As for the direction of escape, it didn’t need to be mentioned; the direction pointed by the bow of the Whale Patrol Boat was the direction for escape.

Since he was ready to run, Ji Yuan didn’t hide anymore. With a light step, the mid-grade Spiritual Artifact level Wind Willow Flying Boat turned into a top-grade Spiritual Artifact level Sky-Splitting Boat.

Spirit Stone charged.

In an instant, the Sky-Splitting Boat transformed into a streak of white lightning, slicing through the Endless Sea and quickly disappearing into the distance.

As it passed, Ji Yuan could feel the power of thunder and lightning mingling in the seawater below.

In the ink-black sea, one could even see flashes of lightning.

’Damn, in this sea, even fish would be electrocuted to death, wouldn’t they.’

Such thoughts crossed Ji Yuan’s mind, but he quickly realized he was wrong, and quite egregiously… because, within his Divine Sense, he detected a fish.

It was a fish about a yard long, its entire body shimmering with electrical light; its appearance was somewhat similar to the Sword Yellow Fish Ji Yuan had encountered before.

But at best, it was only a Tier Two Sea Beast.

Ji Yuan’s Flying Boat flashed past it, and even if it wanted to chase, it couldn’t catch up.

’It seems that there are Demonic Beasts in this Storm Area, and they are Thunder Demonic Beasts that can withstand electric shocks… Stronger beings must be approached cautiously.’

As these thoughts crossed Ji Yuan’s mind, he finally noticed two auras moving rapidly nearly ten miles ahead of him.

Who else could it be but the Wailing Wanderer and Ye Zhiqiu?

’This direction should lead to Ice and Fire Island, so it seems they plan to go ashore after their heist?’

Though puzzled, Ji Yuan also noticed that the gap between them was steadily narrowing.

The Wailing Wanderer’s speed was fast, but in the face of a top-grade Spiritual Artifact level Flying Boat, it was ultimately lacking.

About ten breaths later, the distance between them had shrunk to less than five miles, and the Wailing Wanderer naturally noticed Ji Yuan pursuing him from behind.

His Divine Sense swept over, clearly seeing Ji Yuan’s appearance.

“How daring!”

The Wailing Wanderer recognized Ji Yuan as the cultivator from room number one, and seeing him in a top-grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Boat again, thoughts of robbery surfaced in his mind.

Seeing a few black fumes emerging from the Wailing Wanderer…

But at this moment, Ji Yuan took a step back, and suddenly there was… half a person appearing in front of him.

As soon as this half-person appeared, it emanated the aura of a Golden Core.

With a casual grab, this half-person threw out a fishing net-like Magical Treasure from his hands, which enveloped the black smoke, instantly annihilating it.

And the Wailing Wanderer?

Upon seeing this half-monster appear, he was initially startled, but upon sensing the aura emanating from this creature, his mind only had one thought left.

’I am doomed!!!’

Ji Yuan’s Flying Boat did not slow down; he had no intention of engaging the Wailing Wanderer here. If there was to be a fight… it had to be outside the Storm Area for an ambush.

So when he caught up with the Wailing Wanderer, he simply passed by, glanced at him, and mouthed two words without sound.

“Trash.”

The Wailing Wanderer’s initially panicked face turned instantly dark.

“Courting death!!!”

As a descendant of Great Love Zhenren, having not even formed a core despite cultivating so long was already pitiful. And now, to have lost everything Great Love Zhenren left behind, chased like a homeless dog without a day of peace.

Is this pitiful?

This is damn pitiful!

The Wailing Wanderer could even imagine the disdain and ridicule in the conversations among Great Love Zhenren’s old friends when speaking of him… The thought of it made the Wailing Wanderer tremble with rage.

Now, there was someone shouting this right to his face.

How could he bear it?

“Ugh!!!”

The Wailing Wanderer roared in anger, pursued, pursued… but the more he chased, the further that person seemed to move away.

Damn it, he simply couldn’t catch up!

In the end, the Wailing Wanderer watched as Ji Yuan’s silhouette disappeared into the sea ahead, watching as he gradually slowed to a stop.

He stopped, and Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to stop as well.

The previously furious Wailing Wanderer now let out a cold laugh, “Ha, rushing away like that, truly believes that having a Golden Core initial stage crippled bodyguard, they can take down that Tier Three Thunderstorm Serpent?”

“Let’s wait here until they’ve almost finished fighting, and then we’ll swoop in as the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.”

Ye Zhiqiu, standing by, nodded in agreement.

However, she secretly felt things were not right… although she didn’t know how Qiu Qianhai had obtained this top-grade Spiritual Artifact level Flying Boat and this Golden Core period bodyguard.

But she knew Qiu Qianhai actually wanted to go to Ice and Fire Island.

However, Ice and Fire Island wasn’t in this direction.

The reason she and the Wailing Wanderer came this way was that the Wailing Wanderer wanted to steal the thunderstorm serpent’s egg, something he had been scheming over for several years, preparing many methods.

Robbing the ship was merely a convenience on the way.

The true purpose of this journey was the serpent egg.
