Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 123 Red Tide Surfing, Back to Flying Star City
Upon seeing this, Su Yu said to Luo Qingchan:

"Let's stop here for a while and rest for a bit."

Luo Qingchan nodded and urged the flying boat to descend slowly.

The troops engaged in the battle outside the city quickly spotted the fallen Azure Ark. Two young men immediately approached and asked from afar:
"Who is coming?"

Su Yu walked to the bow of the boat, cupped his hands in greeting, and shouted loudly:
"We came from Nuchao Island and wanted to rest here for a while before leaving."

The group approached the boat, and upon seeing that there were only four of them—one man and three women—Luo Qingchan concealed her true identity with a treasure, but her extraordinary figure and demeanor drew envious glances from the group.
"Short stays or longer stays are both fine, as long as there's no sabotage."

"Thanks!"

The airship passed through the city's protective barrier and entered the city, landing above the commercial district. Su Yu turned to Qi Dongyang's wife and daughter and said:

"We won't go down. We'll stop here for a while, and you can go inside the airship to rest."

"Of course, you can go down if you want to buy anything or resupply. We'll stay for about three hours, and you can come back when the time is up."

Leng Xijun, who hadn't had a chance to speak the whole time dealing with the Crimson Tide Spirit, breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Su Yu, and said gently:

"Thank you, Brother Su, for escorting me all the way."

He smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"You're too kind. Brother Qi and I hit it off immediately. There's no need to be so polite about such a small matter."

Some people can know each other for years and never become friends, while others can become good friends after only meeting once and spending a short time together.

This is called compatibility. As long as your personalities are compatible, you can become good friends even if you haven't known each other for long.

A few acts of mutual help can forge a bond that transcends life and death.

He hadn't known Qi Dongyang for very long; they hadn't seen each other since their last meeting. But after just this one meeting, he felt that Qi Dongyang was a good person, and would never hesitate to do a small favor.

Leng Xijun did not disembark, but instead took her exhausted daughter back to the flying boat to rest.

Qi Xiaoqi's strength was average, and he was exhausted after nearly a day and a half of continuous fighting.

But she didn't slack off because of this, and kept persevering, which shows that Mr. Qi and his wife did a very good job in educating their daughter.

Su Yu and Luo Qingchan did not disembark; they still had plenty of supplies left and did not need to resupply.

Raise the protective shield of the Azure Boat, and Ao Run coils on the deck. The enormous dragon is enough to intimidate many with ulterior motives.

Su Yu didn't sleep; she lay diagonally on Ao Run's soft belly, closing her eyes to rest.

Having cultivated Taoist arts, he possesses a powerful physique and energy far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators. Holding out for a few days is nothing to him and will not affect their combat strength at all.

The Azure Boat floated quietly within the city, its barrier blocking out all sound, making it utterly peaceful, and the three women slept soundly.

However, he had only been lying down for a short time when several people flew over and gently tapped on the flying boat's barrier.

Su Yu opened her eyes, saw the guild marks on these people, stepped out of the Azure Abyss Boat, and cupped her hands in greeting:
"What is this all about?"

The man leading the three also clasped his hands in a salute and asked:

"I am Wang Tao from the Giant Ship Gang. I see that your flying ship is of a very high level, and you all look so tired. Did you come from the source of the Red Tide in the east?"

"You have excellent eyesight!"

The man immediately asked, somewhat impatiently:
"Could you tell us about the difficulty of the third day of the red tide in the east?"

Su Yu shook her head and said:
"The guild I was staying with was breached at the end of the second day and couldn't hold out until the third day."

"What caused the breach?"

"Is it that it can't withstand the BOSS, or that it can't even stop the ordinary soul tide of the Red Tide?"

"It's the boss."

Su Yu sighed and said:

"They had a chance to hold them off, but they were incredibly unlucky. A super boss targeted their guild and sank the city in one blow."

Wang Tao's mouth was slightly open, and his face looked rather unpleasant.

"Which super boss is it?"

"Nameless Ancient Demon!"

"That's it!"

His face turned even darker.

"excuse me."

After a short while, Wang Tao cupped his hands in greeting and hurriedly left with his men.

Su Yu let out a soft breath and turned back to continue resting.

Three hours later, Su Yu woke up the lightly sleeping Luo Qingchan, urged the Azure Sinking Boat to soar into the sky and plunge into the Crimson Tide, embarking once again on the road to Flying Star Island.

They fought monsters and flew all the way, soon leaving the island and entering the vast ocean.

The further they flew, the lower the level of the Crimson Tide Spirit became. After flying for several hours, the level of the Crimson Tide Spirit stabilized, and the lowest level of the Crimson Tide Spirit became level fifty or sixty.

Su Yu knew this was because their speed far exceeded the Red Tide's movement speed. So when they set off from Rage Tide City, the Red Tide was at the third difficulty level. They rushed forward and slowly reached the second difficulty level of the Red Tide. Finally, they have now reached the first difficulty level of the Red Tide, which is the first day's difficulty level.

Flying further ahead, it won't be long before we break through the red tide.

As he expected, the Azure Boat sped along, and two hours later, suddenly its vision brightened. Ahead lay a clear blue sky, and below stretched a vast expanse of misty waves. Looking back, an endless, rolling red tide of smoke surged towards them from left to right, like a tidal wave.

Qi Xiaoqi, who had already woken up, cheered upon seeing this:

"Mom, we escaped."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bi Chenzhou slowed down, just enough to avoid being overtaken by the Red Tide.

Only then did everyone have the time to observe their surroundings. Su Yu discovered that there were many flying boats in front of the red tide on the left and right. They were hovering in front of the red tide at a speed parallel to it, like chasing the tide, harvesting the red tide essences that were right next to them at extremely close range.

"That's a good idea."

Su Yu, never one to sit still, raised an eyebrow and shouted:
"Let's try it this way too."

Luo Qingchan then slowed down the speed of the Azure Sinking Boat, maintaining a distance of about 100 meters from the rolling red tide. Su Yu stood at the stern and activated the Wind and Fire Fan, unleashing boundless true flames that condensed into a barrage of fire and thunder that crashed into the red tide, causing a frenzied slaughter.

The crest of the red tide is mostly filled with small monsters and very few bosses, which can be killed in a few hits.

The flying boat maintained this speed, and when it occasionally saw a special spirit or a BOSS, it would rush into the red tide and unleash its full power to wipe it out, then retreat from the red tide before the red tide monsters could surge over.

Later, even Leng Xijun and Qi Xiaoqi couldn't help but join in.

Keep going back and forth like this, freely entering and exiting the red tide, it's incredibly satisfying.

The red tide moves at a moderate speed, about 1,400 kilometers per hour, and it would take almost 30 days to sweep across the waters around Feixing Island.

But that swept across the entire Feixing Island sea area. If we only consider the distance from the outbreak of the red tide to the arrival of the red tide vanguard at Feixing Island, which is about 200,000 kilometers, it only takes six days.

Su Yu and the others held out on Raging Tide Island for two days, and it took them about a day to escape from Raging Tide Island.

After spending two days leveling up at the head of the Red Tide, I saw that the Red Tide Vanguard had already reached the main island of Flying Star.

When they saw the vast Flying Star Main Island, which stretched out like a continent, they urged the Azure Sinking Boat to speed up their journey to Flying Star City on the west side of Flying Star Island.

Putting everything else aside, Flying Star City is definitely safe.

This city has stood here for tens of thousands of years, and has probably survived more than two thousand red tides unscathed. There must be a way to deal with the super BOSS within the city.

The Azure Boat sped up and arrived at Flying Star City in just a few hours.

"So many people!"

The vast Flying Star City was teeming with players, both inside and outside the city. Flying boats and magical lights crisscrossed the sky, making the density of players more than ten times that of Su Yu's last visit to Flying Star City.

The regional channel was a cacophony of noise, with a dense stream of messages flowing by rapidly, mostly discussing the impending red tide.

Su Yu glanced at the list and saw that everyone wasn't too worried about the upcoming red tide. Instead, they were enthusiastically discussing how many super bosses would appear. Some even started a poll, listing the thirteen super bosses in the red tide of the Flying Star Islands and holding a vote.

Su Yu glanced at it, and casually picked a few BOSSes to vote for, while also memorizing the names of those super BOSSes.

After the Azure Boat entered the city, Leng Xijun bid them farewell.
"Thank you for escorting us all the way, Brother Su. We have arrived at Flying Star City. We won't trouble you any further, Brother Su."

Su Yu didn't try to stop him, but clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"We won't be leaving either. We'll be welcoming Chi Chao in Flying Star City later. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

Qi Xiaoqi also clasped her hands in a proper salute to him:
"Xiao Qi thanks Uncle Su Yu!"

"uncle?"

Su Yu was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

Even Luo Qingchan, who had always remained calm and composed no matter what happened, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

The girl stuck out her tongue shyly and was led away by the beautiful woman.

Su Yu reached up and touched her face, looking speechless.
"I don't even have a girlfriend yet, and you're already calling me uncle."

This blow left him depressed for a long time.

The red tide was still several hours away, so Su Yu and Luo Qingchan parted ways. She went to pick up the package, which was something her father had sent, while he went into the city and headed straight for the commercial district.

First, I found a general store and sold all the odds and ends I had collected from fighting monsters over the past few days.

Over the past few days, I've killed some bosses and obtained some Tier 6 Essence and Tier 6 Flying Sword Magic Treasures. Most of them were useless, so I sold them all, keeping only 7 Tier 6 Essence, one Tier 6 Magic Treasure, and one Tier 6 Fine Fire Demon Robe.

Unfortunately, most of the spirits in the Crimson Tide are water-attribute, and only two of these seven Rank 6 spirits are fire-attribute, one of which was obtained through an exchange with Luo Qingchan.

"Or we could try exchanging other types of spirits with someone else later."

Sell ​​everything and you'll get 1120 gold.

In addition, I have accumulated about 70 million killing experience points and 3120 points of cultivation over the past few days. Adding the 482 points of cultivation I gained before and the 1460 points of cultivation I had left, I now have a total of 5062 points of cultivation.

"What a lucrative opportunity!"

His cultivation level alone is enough to condense half a piece of immortal bone.

Moreover, we'll be staying on Flying Star Island for another three days. At this point, most of the players from the archipelago have gathered on Flying Star Island, estimated to be over 100 million. This will definitely attract the main force of the Red Tide and a massive number of BOSSes. With a little effort, we can farm a huge wave of them.

"I now have 45600 million cultivation points and 5062 points of Dao cultivation, which is enough for another small boost."

Su Yu glanced back and forth across the panel, lost in thought.
