Chapter 217 Entering the Ruins
A few minutes later, Cheng Feng and his family of five sat side by side on the back of the dragon.
The embers burning in the distance became the campfire of the night.
Huo Ling gently swung her feet in the seawater while listening to Cheng Feng recount his experiences at sea.
Chen Wenjin sat on one side of Cheng Feng with Ah Xiang in her arms, and smiled when she heard that the Si Tian fish she had specially prepared had been a great help.
Only then did Chen Wenjin mention where the sea willow boat and the others had gone.
Cheng Feng explained:
"When the Ruins of Return open, a massive vortex will appear here."
If we don't sail away first, it will be troublesome when we get swept back into the Ruins.
That night, Cheng Feng chatted with the three women for a long time before sending them back to the Imaginary Space just before dawn.
As the first rays of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the eerie fires on the sea gradually died down.
The dragon then flicked its tail, carrying Cheng Feng back into the sea.
Upon arriving at the ruins of the Hentian tribe, the dragon coiled itself up, leaving a space for Cheng Feng in the middle.
"I'm going to find something on that ship over there, I'll be right back!"
Cheng Feng used his water magic to inform the dragon before swimming towards the sunken ship not far away.
Upon seeing this, the dragon closed its eyes and rested. This area was its territory, and apart from Cheng Feng, no one dared to come and court death.
Upon arriving at the shipwreck, Cheng Feng swam around the four-masted sailing ship.
A hole was found on the side of the bow, suggesting that the ship must have struck a reef in the sea and sank.
Cheng Feng immediately swam into the sunken ship through the gap.
However, Cheng Feng soon swam out looking very unhappy, as everything on the ship was contraband.
It's the kind of thing Lin Zexu eliminated at Humen.
"You transported this piece of junk all the way here, you deserve to have your ship sink."
Cursing under his breath, Cheng Feng turned and swam back to where the dragon was resting, lying down on the fine sand in the designated spot.
After shifting his body to make himself a nest, Cheng Feng finally fell asleep.
In the deep sea, there is no sun or moon. He didn't know how long he had slept when suddenly the dragons circling Cheng Feng raised their heads.
Startled awake, Cheng Feng quickly asked:
"What happened?"
The dragon seemed somewhat impatient, its massive body rapidly stretching out, smashing several stone pillars thicker than a person to pieces in the process.
Seeing that the dragon had even destroyed his own lair, Cheng Feng dared not be negligent.
It immediately began to swim.
The next second, the dragon used the same posture as before, trapping Cheng Feng on its back.
Then it transformed into an arrow and swam swiftly in one direction.
As Cheng Feng pondered this, the surrounding seawater began to flow abnormally.
Before the dragon had even swum a short distance, a huge whirlpool appeared on the seabed just a few kilometers behind them.
Cheng Feng looked back and saw that it was like a tornado blowing on the seabed, with the seawater spinning rapidly around a central point.
It's slightly better than a tornado in that it doesn't move.
"The Ruins of Return have begun!"
Cheng Feng understood that the center of this vortex was the entrance to the Ruins of Return.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng quickly used the Water Ghost Summoning Technique on the dragon and said:
"I need to go there to take care of something. I'll come find you to hang out when I get back."
Cheng Feng then released his grip on the dragon's dorsal fin. After being carried a few meters by the impact, Cheng Feng hovered in the seawater.
The dragon noticed Cheng Feng's departure and looked back at him in disbelief.
Cheng Feng waved to it, then swam towards the center of the whirlpool, pulled by the current.
When Cheng Feng got close to the vortex, he had difficulty maintaining his balance.
They can only drift along with the immense force.
Just then, Cheng Feng suddenly widened his eyes.
Because he saw that the dragon was actually not far from him, and at that moment it was like a spicy snack being rolled into a washing machine.
One moment it's stretched into an "S", the next it's stretched into a "B".
"Damn, bro, how did you get in here? You've run so far, this shouldn't be happening!"
Cheng Feng could only complain in his heart that communication was impossible in such a huge vortex.
Soon, Cheng Feng and the dragon followed the vortex downwards.
After a dizzying sensation, Cheng Feng felt the surrounding water flow disappear.
Then a surge of heat came from below, slowing Cheng Feng's fall.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he fell into another part of the sea.
Cheng Feng, who had returned to the water, did not linger and immediately began searching for the dragon.
Soon, Cheng Feng saw the dragon swimming in the water not far away.
"I am here."
After sending the message using the Water Ghost Technique, the dragon quickly turned its head and swam towards Cheng Feng.
However, Cheng Feng noticed that there were many sharks lingering in the distance, but none of them dared to approach the dragon.
When the dragon got close to Cheng Feng, it circled Cheng Feng twice, seemingly a little uneasy.
"I told you to wait for me outside, why did you come down here too?"
Sensing Cheng Feng's question, the dragon moved closer, its head, which bore a striking resemblance to a bull's head, pressed against Cheng Feng.
He seemed worried about this friend with whom he had hit it off immediately.
"Animal emotions are more genuine and their likes and dislikes are more distinct than those of humans."
With a sigh in his heart, Cheng Feng raised his hand and touched the dragon's hard scales.
"Now that we're here, let's take a look at this legendary Ruins of Return."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng flipped over and landed on the dragon's back, grabbed its dorsal fin, and spun the dragon toward the surface of the sea.
Soon, the man and the dragon arrived on the sea.
Cheng Feng looked up and saw a sight he had never seen before in his life.
Above the Ruins of Guixu lies a vast expanse of blue, with seawater floating in the air like a transparent pane of glass holding billions of tons of water.
"The name of Guixu is well-deserved; it really is a sea beneath the sea."
The dragon also looked up at the sky, its big eyes full of curiosity.
After a while, Cheng Feng patted the scales beneath him and said:
"Let's go and take a walk around."
The dragon tilted its head, seemingly wondering why Cheng Feng was taking pictures of it for no reason.
Cheng Feng slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten that this guy couldn't understand him. He then quickly repeated himself using the Water Ghost Technique.
The dragon then understood Cheng Feng's meaning, and with a flick of its tail, it carried Cheng Feng as they swam on the surface of the sea.
Before long, Cheng Feng saw a piece of land where the empty shells of old clams had piled up into a small mountain.
Cheng Feng, who wasn't interested in this thing, simply skipped over the area with the dragon.
Continuing along the waterway, a huge cargo ship appeared ahead.
As Cheng Feng approached the shipwreck, he could see the English writing on the ship.
"The Mary Senno, that's it."
Professor Chen once mentioned the name of this ship, and the priceless Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror should be on this ship.
"Wait here for me, I'll go get some things and be right back."
After giving the dragon a signal, and once the dragon understood his meaning, Cheng Feng left its back and swam towards the Mary Senu.
Upon arriving at the Mary Cinnamon, Cheng Feng walked through a torn opening into the cabin.
This was the first time Cheng Feng had been on solid ground in several days, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He was definitely an amphibious superhuman.
"No wonder it belongs to a very wealthy person; such a large cruise ship makes a trip without carrying any cargo."
The ship's hold was empty, containing only some reserve supplies and no other cargo.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng began to walk towards the top of the cruise ship.
After passing through a large hall with a stage and a bar, Cheng Feng followed the staff passage to the vicinity of the captain's cabin.
After opening a tightly closed storage room, Cheng Feng discovered a pile of weapons.
"PPS saber, Chicago printer, pistol, AK, quite a lot of good stuff!"
Among the pile of ammunition, Cheng Feng also spotted an emerald ring.
He opened the Ghost Eye and collected everything in one go, then Cheng Feng raised his hand and tapped the inside of the shelf.
Dong dong dong
The hollow sound indicated that there was a hidden compartment inside.
Cheng Feng immediately tapped the hidden wooden compartment with his finger, and it instantly shattered into wood chips.
