Xia Chen waved his hand and smiled to indicate that he was fine. In fact, he didn't know in his heart whether he could succeed, but no matter how difficult it was, there was no way out. If he couldn't burn the boat, he could only wait for destruction. Soon, he walked into the sea water and felt the smell of life. A large group of piranhas swam over, but before they got closer, they smelled the pungent smell of birch sap and dispersed one after another. As expected, it worked. Xia Chen felt relieved and slowly walked towards the dock. At this time, the village pier has been submerged in the sea water, and several boats are floating on the sea. If they are not tied with anchor ropes, they may float away directly. Xia Chen swam to the iron boat and climbed in. He put down the food bag and water bottle, then untied the anchor rope. The iron boat immediately sailed away along the waves. A large group of piranhas followed closely behind the boat. Although they were driven away by the smell of birch sap, they still refused to give up and planned to wait until the smell dissipated before feasting on the prey. Xia Chen sat on the boat and silently looked at the people watching him from the highest point of the island. He vaguely saw the girls waving to him with tears. Chen Mengzhu, Su Rongrong and Suo Feiyan were all shouting something, but they were too far apart to hear. What is Taiqing? Fortunately, several girls shouted loudly together, so he could hear a few words clearly, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. "Xia Chen, I love you" "I love you too, always" He said softly with a smile, waving his arms until people became smaller and smaller in his field of vision and could no longer be seen. . After a while, even the island gradually shrank, turning into a straight horizon, and then slowly disappeared. "Finally I'm the only one left." Xia Chen muttered to himself and turned around calmly. At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the waves were rolling. Coated with a layer of gold, the sea is calm and looks indescribably gorgeous. The piranhas are still following behind the boat, but the number has been reduced a lot, and they obviously don¡¯t have that much patience. The boat sailed smoothly on the sea. Although the speed was not fast, it was not slow either. Two hours later, Xia Chen looked in all directions and couldn't see anything anymore, as if the world was huge. He was the only one left, and the boat was all that was left. The Supreme Mountain has disappeared. This mysterious sea mountain will only appear once in seven days. However, Xia Chen has already kept the direction of the Supreme Mountain in mind since he was a child. Therefore, the direction of travel is not wrong at all. As night falls slowly, the temperature drops rapidly. The night at sea is very cold. However, Xia Chen didn't feel anything. It seemed that after possessing immortality, he had a strong ability to adapt to changes in the outside world. Although the piranha has not retreated yet, it has indirectly protected Xia Chen. Many behemoths in the sea were very interested in the iron ship, but before they could get close, they were frightened by these scary little monsters and fled away. There are also some big fish with low IQ swimming over. In a matter of seconds, it was all eaten away. For two consecutive days, Xia Chen spent the whole time in calm conditions, and the iron ship always drove smoothly. Moreover, the wind direction was also towards the Supreme Mountain. After setting up a small sail, the speed was faster. No sea monsters were seen on the sea. Occasionally, huge figures flashed across the sea. They looked scary, but they were far away and the threat was not great. And with the protection of the piranha, it is difficult for ordinary sea monsters to get close to the iron ship. However, starting from the third day, drizzle began to fall on the sea, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. It suddenly became dark. Waves gradually appeared on the sea. The waves were turbulent, and the iron ship began to sway from side to side due to the impact, becoming unstable. stand up. Xia Chen stabilized his center of gravity and tried his best to keep himself balanced. He knew that this was just the beginning of the storm, and it was already a great honor for him that the iron ship could sail here. He kept his eye on the direction. As long as he was right, even if the iron boat capsized, he would still have to swim to the Supreme Mountain. The drizzle soon became heavier and washed away the smell of birch sap from his body. The piranha that had been following him for a long time finally waited for an opportunity and began to show its ferocious face. It jumped up from the bottom of the water and launched an attack on him. Xia Chen waved the steel drill and kept beating the piranha away. Fortunately, as of now, there are not many piranhas left, and the attacks are not intensive, so he has not suffered the same bad luck as the octopus sea monster. "But even so, he can't stand it alone. Although these piranhas are not big, they jump up very quickly and are very powerful. When they open their mouths, their teeth are exposed like daggers. With one stroke, they leave several marks on his body. Deeply scarred. Soon, Xia Chen's body became covered in bruises, his clothes had been torn apart by sharp teeth, and there were criss-crossing wounds all over his body. His skin and flesh were turned out, and even bones were exposed in some places. Severe pain?Let Xia Chen faint. Every time he is injured, it is a torture for him. Although there will be no bleeding and the injuries will heal as quickly as possible, the pain is unforgettable and insurmountable. He bit his tongue tightly, keeping his mind awake and holding back the bone-piercing pain in his heart. In this vast sea, if he was even slightly unconscious, he would end up at the bottom of a shipwreck. How could he find the Supreme Mountain? "This is just a disaster on the way forward. If I can't bear even a little pain, how can I save my relatives, my brothers, and my friends." "There will be greater disasters ahead. It has just begun. I must grit my teeth and hold on." "Stay, you must hold on." Xia Chen said to himself over and over again, strongly hinting to himself that the pain was already extreme anyway, could there be a worse situation than now. After flapping for a long time, finally, the piranha's offensive gradually weakened, becoming more and more rare, until the last one disappeared. Xia Chen was paralyzed in the boat, letting the cold sea water submerge his body, panting heavily, not wanting to move. He is not physically tired, but mentally nervous. After an unprecedentedly difficult and fierce battle, he naturally felt deeply tired after relaxing, not to mention that he had indeed consumed a lot. But at this time, Xia Chen suddenly felt countless heat currents surge through his body, as if the temperature of the blood in his veins was rising, giving him a very comfortable and refreshing feeling. After the feeling of relief passed, Xia Chen felt that his skin and muscles began to itch. After the numbness and itching subsided, it became tight again and seemed to be much stronger. It felt like it was covered with a layer of steel armor. Xia Chen's heart moved. He looked at his arms and found that the skin was shining with a metallic luster, as if it had turned into steel. "Is this a mutation of the immortal body?" He thought to himself, feeling something in his heart. He raised the steel drill and stabbed it hard into his arm. There was a clang of gold and iron, sparks shot out, and the steel drill was shaken open, but nothing happened to the arm, not even pain. (To be continued)
