Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 193 Panic
"Boom!"

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan plummeted, landing heavily on the deck and nearly cracking the deck.

Nan Jue, standing to the side, scolded the two of them, but they ignored her and instead stood on the railing looking down at the ocean.

The seawater was very clear, and you could see very deep into the water. The dark shadow was still below the ship. After landing on the ship, the two of them realized just how huge the thing was. It felt like the entire ship had entered a black sea. Looking out, the deep blackness shrouded the ship, which made people feel a deep fear that went straight to their hearts!

"Oh my god, what's that down there?!" Jiang Yu suddenly screamed.

The sound startled everyone awake, and they all rushed to the railing, only to discover a huge dark shadow underwater, like a black abyss that could suck the entire magic ship in at any moment!
Cold sweat trickled down their necks. Although the thing below didn't emit any aura at all, it brought immense pressure to everyone on the ship, as if their lives were now being controlled by the monster below!

No one spoke; their eyes were wide open, and their bodies were frozen in place.

They dared not look down to see what was underwater, fearing that they would be met with a giant maw that would swallow them whole, or a giant claw that would smash the cruise ship to pieces. This was not just a baseless fantasy; they firmly believed that the creatures underwater were absolutely capable of doing so!
"What...what exactly is it?" Zhao Manyan asked stiffly.

Fang Yu was the only one who remained calm throughout the entire event.

Because he knew that the enormous underwater shadow was Baxia, and as a totem, it meant no harm.

soon.

Fang Yu, noticing the pale faces of the group, reminded them, "We've gone down."

The underwater shadows began to fade, and the fear that enveloped everyone gradually subsided.

Although Baxia dived into the deep sea...

However, Fang Yu was certain that Baxia had not left, but had gone into hiding. It would follow them all the way to the cherry blossoms.

I do not know how long it has been.

The seawater has finally regained its original clarity, and looking down, the seawater is that deep blue.

On the ship, apart from Fang Yu, who knew the truth...

Everyone was completely exhausted; some even collapsed onto the deck!
The ship continued its journey, but the people on board remained silent for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, Mo Fan, who was the first to recover, glanced at the silent crowd and then looked at Fang Yu, saying:
"You already noticed."

"Okay!" Fang Yu nodded.

"So calm, aren't you afraid?"

"There's no use being afraid. It has been following us all the way. Otherwise, why do you think the journey has been so peaceful?" Fang Yu replied.

"Holy crap, is this for real?" Mo Fan couldn't believe it.

They were incredibly lucky to survive being followed by such a colossal creature.

"I don't know why, but I have this feeling that I'm a frog in a well," Jiang Yu said.

"The ocean contains many forbidden lands of demons that humans can never explore, where ancient demons live, things we have never known before," Fang Yu replied.

Jiang Yu nodded.

I originally thought I knew all the demons and monsters, and that I could easily identify their species just by seeing their silhouette.

But today, he realized he was terribly wrong.

He couldn't make any judgment about the beastly figure underwater just now; he couldn't even see the creature's full appearance...

He didn't know what it was. He only knew that it was a kind of demon that no human had ever recorded before, and it lived in the vast Pacific Ocean!
“This is probably one of the reasons why our mentor sent us out to gain experience. However, a demon of this size must be at least… at least a monarch-level being, right?” Nan Jue said.

"It's hard to say. We can't even be completely sure if that thing is a living being. It's a bit strange. Logically speaking, a monarch-level creature should have a very strong aura, but it doesn't seem to have any life force at all," Mo Fan said.

"The reason there's no aura is because that guy didn't have any ill intentions towards us; he's just hiding it," Fang Yu explained.

"no offence?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him.

"As I just said, the reason we've had such a smooth journey is because that giant shadow has been lurking beneath the ship all along?"

After Fang Yu finished speaking, everyone began to think.

indeed.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any sea monsters, not even servant-level ones, let alone general-level ones.

This is the Pacific Ocean, teeming with powerful sea monsters!
"But."

"Why does it want to protect us?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.

"Could it be a totem?"

Mo Fan had seen the Xuan Snake, the totem of Hangzhou. It had never harmed humans, and not only that, it had remained in Hangzhou for thousands of years, protecting the people in the area.

and so.

Mo Fan subconsciously felt that the other party might be a totem.

After all, apart from totems, which other sea monster in the world would be without malice towards humans?

"totem?"

Mo Fan's words piqued the interest of several people.

Among them, Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue were the most interested!
"You should know about the giant serpent in Hangzhou. It was reported in the news back then," Mo Fan said, acting as if he knew a lot, and began to recount the story.

That is, how the Black Serpent saved the people and how it punished the Silver Sky Lord.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Shaoxu asked, "So, what exactly is that totem below?"

"Yeah, Mo Fan, do you know what that is?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

Jiang Yu was known as a creature that even the Encyclopedia of Demons and Monsters didn't know about, yet Mo Fan actually knew about him!
Simply outrageous!

"That?" Mo Fan's lips twitched slightly. How would he know about that!
"So, you don't know what's down there either, you just think it's a totem creature?" Nan Jue asked.

"Yes, that's how it is." Mo Fan scratched his head awkwardly.

"You guys too, as long as the other party doesn't have any ill intentions towards us, isn't that a good thing? Why bother about what it is?" Guan Yu said.

"Too."

After thinking about it, the group realized that this was indeed the case.

Who cares what it is or whether it's a totem?

Anyway, the other party didn't have any malicious intent, which is a good thing.

Earlier, when Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan flew into the air, they saw the coastline. The flight path had deviated slightly, and they would need to travel a longer distance to reach the expected port.

However, the scene had been too awe-inspiring just now, and now that they had recovered, they began their journey towards Anjie.

A moment later, they entered the sea area of ​​Sakura Ankai. Since the ship had been registered beforehand and was bearing the name Sakura, it entered the Sakura Ankai sea area smoothly.

Upon reaching the Anjie sea area, we began to see several fishing boats engaged in salvage operations.

There are two types of fishing boats in China: one is a fishing boat that uses machinery to catch fish, throwing thousands of fish into their freezing rooms.

Another type is the very primitive fishing boat, with one or two fishermen and very simple tools. There are many such simple fishing boats near Asuka City.

While there are still traditional fishing boats in the cherry blossom area, most of them have become mechanized. They have a wide variety of ways to catch fish, and their fishing industry is quite developed.

This area of ​​Anjie waters is filled with these salvage vessels, all painted gray. When this white cruise ship from China sailed into this area, it looked somewhat out of place.

However, due to the fear brought about by the previous 'Baxia', they had absolutely no interest or idea about what kind of ships were on the coastline.

They wanted to leave immediately; the sea was too dangerous.

Faced with a creature of this level, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to put up a fight.

Only when your feet are on solid ground do you feel a tiny bit of peace!
