Chapter 806 – Rising Tide
Chapter 806 – Rising Tide
Just as she was checking into the seventh mustard space, Xu Chuniang suddenly sensed a hint of unusual movement.
She stopped moving and turned her head to look in the direction of the sea, slightly startled.
The calm seawater had inexplicably churned up, and it looked as if the tide was about to rise.
Xu Chuniang recalled that she had been at the seashore for these few hours.
Aside from the two cultivators who had gone down to the sea and triggered a huge wave in the sea, for the vast majority of the time, the sea had been calm.
But right now, why was there a sign of a rising tide ……
The temple keeper had said that with each passing day, the size of the sea island would shrink by a factor of two.
And at this moment, it was the hour of the day.
Zi Hour, the last hour of the day, was also the earliest hour of the next day, at the intersection of the old and new days.
The sea is going to rise, flooding at least half of the island!
This thought flashed through Xu Chuniang’s mind, and instead of staying in place, she quickly revealed herself among the trees, performing the Nine Easy Steps, and closing in on the center of the island as fast as she could.
After she left, the seawater silently followed her, submerging an inch of land.
Wherever the seawater passed, the trees were dissolved silently, and in the end, they were reduced to nothing, leaving only a pale sea.
In order to maximize her speed, Xu Chuniang no longer concealed her figure, and after running for a short distance, she soon attracted the attention of the others.
“Catching up like this, it’s easy to encounter a sneak attack, what that person did, he simply doesn’t know how to die!”
“But …… her speed is so fast that she was able to leave most of the cultivators behind. Or perhaps, she is using this method to deliberately attract the attacks of others.”
However, as the two of them were discussing, one of them realized that something was wrong and finally reacted to why that Celebrity female cultivator had run away with all her might just now.
“Not good, it’s the rising tide of the sea, run away!”
The other person turned back to look, and his pupils shrank violently.
Wherever the seawater passed, all the trees disappeared and nothing was left.
Where did the two people still have the leisurely mood they had just now, they hurriedly fled in a fiery hurry.
The expansion of the sea water is silent, fast and furious, with the momentum of sweeping everything.
A lucky cultivator would still be able to discover these changes in advance and run away before the sea tide caught up with them.
Those who were less lucky, or those who were too slow, a wave came down and they were directly swallowed by the sea tide.
And in the process of escaping, some people soon realized that it was impossible to leave the sea island through teleportation when the tide was high.
This discovery made many people’s hearts aghast.
The seawater would flood half of the sea island when the tide rose at the hour of midnight.
In order to escape, the cultivators on the island would choose to vanish towards the center of the island, and inevitably, they would encounter other cultivators and a fierce battle would break out.
On the contrary, at this time, even if one possessed a sufficient number of Spirit Cores, one could not leave the island.
So these two hours were exceptionally difficult.
Soon after running for a while, Xu Chuniang also ran into trouble.
Three Bone Race cultivators, who were built like small mountains, stood in her way.
Bone Race cultivators had no flesh and blood, only white bones, but their bones were polished and hardened, and they also possessed an extremely strong regenerative ability.
The Bone Race in the center was a bone dragon.
He looked Xu Chuniang up and down, and in his empty eyes, something different seemed to be hidden.
“Hand over the Spirit Core you’re carrying, or …… be swallowed by the sea!” The three Bone Clansmen were emboldened, as long as they delayed a little, the seawater would catch up and engulf the person in front of them.
They were positioned a bit further back, and could completely withdraw quickly after the other party was engulfed by the seawater.
The Bone Clan on the left was a tiger, he looked at the seawater not far away, his tone somewhat impatient.
“I advise you to speed up, if you’re any later, even if we agree, the seawater won’t agree.
I advise you not to hold unrealistic fantasies that you can get away at any time, when the tide rises, even if you have gathered enough three Spirit Cores, you won’t be able to leave the island through teleportation!”
So it turns out that at high tide, with only three spirit cores, you can’t even leave?
She originally had ten spirit cores on her body, and just ran away when there was an ungrateful one who blocked her way, killed him in passing, and got two spirit cores from him.
Now the number of spirit cores on her body, there are twelve, and not like what the other side said, can not leave when the tide is high.
Even if she wanted to leave, she could leave now.
Perhaps, it was the second day from the hour of dawn, and one would have to fulfill the new condition of getting ten Spirit Cores in order to leave.
Xu Chuniang made a note of this news, ignoring the three Bone Clansmen blocking the path in front of her, and took a step forward.
The seawater was expanding extremely fast, and if they wanted to stay here to die, she would not accompany them!
Seeing this, the bone dragon in the center moved slightly, about to stop Xu Chuniang.
But the moment it came into contact with her, her body actually directly turned into nothingness, passing through the empty skeleton.
It wasn’t until she had left the three Bone Race cultivators far behind her that Xu Chuniang’s body, only then, reconfirmed its emptiness into reality.
When she looked back, the seawater had indeed spread to where she had stopped earlier.
The three Bone Race cultivators from just a moment ago, only two remained in the blink of an eye!
She withdrew her gaze and continued to keep drawing closer towards the center of the island, the farther away from the seawater, the safer it would be!
But in contrast, the closer to the center of the island, the greater the number of cultivators, and the more frequent the fights that erupted between each other.
Staying alive became the common goal of all.
Following the three Bone Clansmen, Xu Chuniang once again encountered two roadblockers.
This time, she didn’t even bother to wait for the other party to open their mouths before directly utilizing the Laws of the Void to pass through the barrier set up by the other party.
Not knowing how many miles she had evaded, the Zi Hour finally passed, and the churning seawater slowly calmed down.
The sky was still dark, and the chaotic battle on the island showed no sign of stopping, but instead intensified.
Spirit cores, they had to get more spirit cores!
Xu Chuniang quietly activated the Wood Escape Technique and continued to walk through the trees, searching for a suitable enemy to strike.
It was the second day, she had to get thirty spirit cores within today.
She only had twelve on her, and she was still eighteen short!
The cultivators who were still alive after the first day’s battle were generally stronger.
The reason was simple, the less powerful ones had already been killed and wouldn’t even survive the second day.
Of course, the exception was the few lucky ones, or the cultivators who had found someone from the same clan and had the same clan to shelter them.
Xu Chuniang’s targets were still the cultivators who had fallen alone, and those who were fighting on both sides.
Gathering strength and getting the most spirit cores at the smallest cost would enable her to go farther in this battle.
If she encountered difficult opponents, either like the Stone Jade Man, who possessed terrifying defenses, or like the Void Beast, who was able to conceal its form and couldn’t be resolved in a moment, she would even take the initiative to withdraw and give up on these hard to gnaw on bones.
The technique of Wood Transportation allowed her to casually walk through the grass and trees, coming and going as she pleased.
