Towards Eternity
Ch 541's. The Dead Sea
In the middle of the vast ocean, steamships sailed at a steady pace. The cloudless daytime sky made the blue sky seem very beautiful.
Several flocks of fish were seen jumping on the water near the ship that kept moving forward. On board, several people previously recruited by Weng Lou were enjoying their lunch while Du Zhe seemed busy training on the deck of the ship bare-chested.
"Hhhh!!" Du Zhe struck forward with all his might as then a palm gently pushed his face back and fell to the floor.
*buck...* Du Zhe's buttocks touching the floor of the ship caused a soft sound, while he raised both his hands, "I give up."
"Haha......You're getting better, Du Zhe. Keep practicing and soon you will be able to feel the Deep Power that is in your body and the environment around you" said a man who appeared to be in his thirties in front of Du Zhe. Previously he had been a match for Du Zhe who was training.
This man was a Martial Practitioner who was recruited by Weng Lou on this trip. His martial accomplishments were not particularly great, but his sensitivity to his surroundings allowed him to take action quickly. This kind of ability that Weng Lou needed from the person who sailed with him.
Weng Lou didn't need strong people to go with him, but he needed those who were suitable in his journey this time around. With his strength and the Black Ape Fighter, Weng Lou was quite confident of being able to protect all the crew members who were with him.
It had been a week since they had started sailing from Rengu City, and now they were almost at the territory of the Dead Sea, where many sea beasts lived.
In general, if they use a sailing ship, they will be new until the distance they have traveled is about two weeks, but because of the speed of the steamer created by Weng Lou, they can cut time by half. This proves that steamers are indeed something that greatly affects the time of voyage in the ocean. If it wasn't for the size of this ship they would have entered the Dead Sea region a day or two ago.
"Hey, if you're done eating, get back to work! We will soon arrive at the border of the Dead Sea!"
From the control room, Weng Lou came out and called out to the crew who were gathered on the deck together with Du Zhe. Hearing the order, they all instantly dispersed and hurriedly headed to their respective places. Even Du Zhe also left, his training was enough today and he did not seem to have any intention of continuing his training anymore.
Dead Sea, all the crew here know how terrible this sea region is. None of them thought that the danger from the Dead Sea was just a joke because they knew very well how powerful the sea beasts were. Not even one of them was able to defeat a sea beast.
Weng Lou silently looked at all those who had dispersed, he then entered back into the ship and observed a map displayed on the table. He stared at the red-coloured ocean region with an area that was even wider than the entire territory of the Huwa Islands. A picture of the skull was drawn in the middle of it and made Weng Lou's face look solemn.
Their ship continued to sail, before long the previously clear sky without clouds, began to become cloudy and strong winds blew from the front of the ship.
"Wind tight, huh? Unfortunately this is not a sailing ship that will face problems when there are winds as strong as this," said Weng Lou who then immediately told Du Zhe to put more fuel into the engine.
*Shuush....* The ship lunged towards the five-meter high waves and passed through it without any problems. At this time, drizzling rain began to fall and made the deck of the ship wet.
Weng Lou's eyes narrowed as he watched the clouds in the sky grow thicker and begin to turn black. Lightning strikes came out from him, and created a loud rumbling of thunder endlessly.
"They're coming." said Weng Lou who noticed the ocean next to the ship that looked awkward.
"Go get the wheel!" Weng Lou called out to a man who was outside his room and then went towards the roof.
Above, he could see well, three passes in the water that were heading towards their ship from behind. Weng Lou clicked his tongue as if he had gotten a bad feeling.
"It should be that the aura of the Black Ape Fighter's body has been successfully suppressed to the maximum. So why did these beasts come straight at us so quickly?" weng Lou asked with a bit of confusion.
From the stories he heard, even though the Dead Sea was very dangerous, but usually the wild animals living in it would not attack just like that. They would wait for half an hour or so before launching an attack. But at this moment they had only ten minutes into the Dead Sea and had already been chased by the three sea beasts behind their ship.
Weng Lou did not know that since the woman who was the Emperor's envoy had escaped from the Dead Sea, the ferocious beasts with strength in the Soul Unification realm told all their subordinates to strengthen their guard and attack who dared to enter their territory.
This reason was because previously the woman had managed to give out an attack that left the king level ferocious beasts she had fought with severely injured and caused hatred for all of them.
Unfortunately, Weng Lou's group came through this place when they were all still in a state of anger.
"Du Zhe, continue to maintain speed, those ferocious beasts should not dare to enter the deeper parts of the dead sea. Although this was their place of life, there was still a power-based grouping here. The weak will stay in the periphery, while the strong will stay in the deeper part" Weng Lou ordered in a loud voice.
Du Zhe who was inside the ship could clearly hear Weng Lou's voice. He immediately did as ordered by Weng Lou. Their ship continued to move forward while the ferocious beasts behind them looked increasingly reduced their speed until then they completely stopped chasing after the group of Weng Lou.
The crew seemed a little relieved to see that while Weng Lou on the other hand actually looked more serious when suddenly the ocean became calm and strong winds that before had also disappeared but thick clouds still cover sky.
Inside the ship, the sleeping Black Ape Fighter opened his eyes abruptly and changed his position to sit down. His hand opened a large door above him and his figure immediately went out onto the ship.
"Damn, I was found!" The Black Ape the Fighter. The people on board looked scared by the figure of the Black Ape Fighter. They were as far away as possible because they were afraid of the big body and its terrible appearance.
"Everything! Get in the boat!" Weng Lou commanded all of his crew quickly upon hearing the Black Ape Fighter's remark.
Weng Lou watched the rear of the ship while Black Ape Fighters the front of the ship. The two meticulously paid attention to every little change that occurred in the water. There was silence as the two of them just silently stared at the ocean around them.
But that calmness immediately disappeared as soon as the Black Ape Fighters exclaimed warning Weng Lou, "From the east!!!" The Black Ape Exhortation The fighter immediately made Weng Lou's attention directed at a giant claw that suddenly emerged from within the ocean and moved into their head.
"Ah, fuck!" Weng Lou cursed as he watched the huge claw. He and the Black Ape Fighter immediately advanced to the front of the ship and welcomed the arrival of the great claw.
With his big hand, the Black Ape Fighter held tightly onto the huge claw, and instantly raised it, showing the figure of the owner of the claw that turns out to be a large crab that has a large body almost sowing Black Ape Brawlers.
*clap!* When his body was lifted up by the Black Ape Fighter, the crab immediately slid its other claws to capture the body of the Black Ape Fighter, which was the body of the Black Ape, but the figure of Weng Lou soon arrived and hit hard the claw away.
"LANGUAGE!!!!" The giant crab bellowed furiously when it saw that the hard and thick shell on its claw had suffered a crack once it received a blow from Weng Lou.
At the same time, the Black Ape Fighter quickly caught the claw and with his strength he severed the two claws instantly.
"Looks like we're gonna eat crab claws tonight!" weng Lou. He jumped on the crab's body and levitated a vertical kick that instantly left the crab lying on the deck of the ship.
The crab continued to fight, his legs were intact was immediately stomped and caused the group ship Weng Lou to sway.
"Fucking crab, he wants to make this ship upside down!" yell Weng Lou with annoyance.
His hands immediately clenched, he took his horses and then a hard blow was released on the body of the crab to destroy the shell on the body of the crab. Weng Lou did not stop there, he immediately jumped into the body of the crab and ruffled its contents until finally the crab stopped moving and died horribly.
"Wruah!" Weng Lou came out of the crab's mouth. His body seemed to be filled with a sticky liquid that seemed like blood and the contents of the crab's body.
"You make me have no interest in eating it, you know?" The Black Ape Fighter joked to Weng Lou who was reciprocated with a throw of a pile of white meat in his hand.
"Hey! It stinks!"
Weng Lou seemed unconcerned. He walked towards a bucket that was on the deck. The bucket was lifted up, and the water in it was splashed on itself.
"Uegh."
The Black Ape The fighter looked at Weng Lou comically. He then left Weng Lou alone while he went back inside the ship through a large door on the deck while carrying a large claw belonging to the giant crab that he had previously released from his body.
Looking at him who was carrying one of those crab claws, Weng Lou seemed to protest, "Don't you say you have no interest in eating it?!"
"I told you about the crab's body, not the claw! Besides this claw I got with my own efforts. You can take the other one, I just want one!" Finished speaking, the Black Ape Fighter also closed the door back on the deck, leaving Weng Lou looking at him in disbelief.
"The size of the claw is clearly different! Heyy?! You hear me?! The big claw you left behind isn't even half as brazen as you are!"
"Keep talking as you please, I'll eat here." There was no sound of the Black Ape Fighter and Weng Lou could only curse him inwardly.
"Ck, I killed him." Weng Lou snorted exasperatedly then gazed towards the body of the dead giant crab and one of its claws left behind by the Black Ape Fighter.
He sighed, and immediately walked towards the body of the crab. The huge crab's body looked extremely pitiful, with a wound on top of its body and its mouth wide open he was like a victim of a massacre committed by Weng Lou.
*back!* Weng Lou's leg kicked the body of the crab to be thrown from the ship and fell into the sea.
The body of the crab was too heavy and made the speed of their ship slow down a little, so Weng Lou decided to throw it away. After all, he also had no interest in eating the body of the crab after seeing the condition that could indeed make a person's appetite disappear.
Weng Lou walked while carrying the remaining crab claws and gave it up to the person he had previously asked to hold then the ship, "Bring this, this, cook the soup or anything with it and if there's any leftovers just throw it away, there's no need to keep it."
The man immediately carried the four grown men's claw with all his might and left the room they were in.
There are some old stories that say that the body of a strong beast can attract the attention of other sea beasts. Therefore, Weng Lou told his members to immediately cook the big claw and throw the rest if there is one. He was unwilling to fight continuously against a ferocious beast with strength in the Soul Unification realm above the ocean.
"Haaah.stay waiting until another sea beast comes and approaches us. Fortunately the speed of the steamer's movement made some ferocious beasts unable to catch up to us at all" said Weng Lou who looked relieved.
He laid his body on the seat near the rudder of the ship and began to return to his work.
