Ark Journey

After leaving the school, Xue Zhi continued walking towards the beach. He planned to go to the deep sea tonight to see what was happening with Hai Si.

When we arrived at the seaside, due to the bad weather, only some huge cargo ships were still working today, and most of the ships were locked at the dock.

Strong winds constantly come in from the depths of the ocean, making the perceived temperature lower than the actual temperature.

The gray sea water was stirred up by the wind into high waves, which hit the pillars supporting the pier one after another.

Dock workers in waterproof clothing were loading boxes of cargo onto the ship. Every now and then a huge wave would break through the dock's support columns and hit them.

The huge kinetic energy usually knocks them off balance.

A dock worker was hit by a wave and his feet slipped and his body tilted, and he was about to fall into the sea.

Xue Zhi, who was watching at the beach, raised her hand.

"Be careful."

An invisible force appeared and dragged the worker back to the dock.

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they bowed to Xue Zhi who spoke.

"Thank you for your help, little brother."

"You're welcome."

When this little episode happened, several ships suddenly appeared on the horizon. Xue Zhi turned her head and focused her attention, and found that they were several huge warships.

For technical reasons, they are closer to Earth's World War II-era battleships.

There are no vertical launch systems or helicopter landing pads. Instead, huge multiple-mounted main guns are placed at the front and rear of the ship, and at this moment they are firmly fixed by cables.

Xue Zhi glanced at the ships and found that they were not damaged.

That is to say, their return may be because the waves in the deep sea are too huge, making it dangerous to stay there, rather than being attacked by sea snakes.

The giant ship slowly sailed into its own port, and Xue Zhi continued to look at the sea in front of her.

Several fish were washed up on the sea surface and Xue Zhi picked them up.

These fish look very fresh, but they don't have much vitality. They may be dizzy. Just roast them over a fire.

So Xue Zhi didn't go find a restaurant for lunch at noon, but instead grilled the fish she picked up over a fire on the beach.

The taste of the sea fish was quite good. After removing the internal organs and pulling out the bones, Xue Zhi did not light a fire, but roasted it directly on her hands.

After adding some barbecue seasoning, Xue Zhi started to eat the grilled fish.

Perhaps he had stayed here too long, and as he was walking he suddenly heard someone calling him.

Chapter 33: Tsunami

"Hey, young man! The wind and waves are too strong now, please don't stay at the beach for too long."

Xue Zhi turned her head and saw a man with a "Maritime Administration" armband tied on his shoulder running towards her.

After putting away the half-eaten fish, Xue Zhi wiped her mouth and shouted:

"understood."

Since they are chasing you away, just leave.

After leaving the coast, Xue Zhi went to a nearby teahouse.

He chose a spot where he could see the sea and drank tea while waiting for night to fall.

The sun was setting, and the wind and waves became more violent as night approached.

The lights on the dock were turned on, providing illumination for the dock workers who were still working.

Xue Zhi, who was sitting on a high place, looked into the distance and suddenly found a thin white line appearing on the sea and approaching this side.

Xue Zhi, who did not grow up by the sea, was puzzled for a moment, and then realized what this thing was.

That's what a huge wave looks like when you see it in the distance.

It's a tsunami!

As for what causes the formation of a tsunami, that is not within the scope of consideration, at least not now.

Looking out of the window, the docks continued to work as if they had not received any warning.

Xue Zhi cursed, then left a piece of gold on the table and jumped out of the window.

"Fuck! Are the institutions and officials in charge of astronomical supervision in Jiang Qicheng just eating for free?!"

His figure instantly appeared above the sea in front of Jiangqi City Pier.

With the cover of darkness, no one should be able to spot him.

At first, there may be only slight ripples on the sea surface below, as if the ocean is sighing softly, but soon, these ripples gather into a force that cannot be underestimated, rushing towards the shore.

As the distance shortened, the waves gradually became taller and steeper, like moving walls of water, rushing towards the unprotected land with overwhelming force.

Xue Zhi did not take action immediately because he guessed that a master from Yan Country might appear.

However, when the tsunami approached to the point where it was visible to the naked eye, he did not sense anyone appearing.

Instead, it was the large loudspeakers installed on the dock that made the sound.

"Tsunami alert! Tsunami alert! People and ships working at the docks, please get back to the city as soon as possible! Please get back to the city as soon as possible!"

Xue Zhi, who also heard the news, held her forehead with her hand.

"Well, it seems you really don't know there will be a tsunami."

Waves several meters or even more than ten meters high are right in front of you.

The waves rushed towards the coastline with thunderous force, making a deafening roar, like the angriest roar of nature.

Behind him was a chaotic dock. The workers who had just heard this dropped what they were holding and ran into the city.

During this period, Xue Zhi also secretly rescued several people who almost fell into the sea for various reasons.

With wind and waves of this magnitude, it would be almost impossible to get out if you fall in.

Fortunately, Jiang Qicheng was not completely unprepared. Many people appeared at the edge of the dock to assist in the evacuation, and some Taoist priests holding magic wands appeared and began to build obstacles on the beach to prevent the invasion of seawater.

But their efficiency was not high, and the things generated by magic could not stop the oncoming tsunami.

Suddenly, the tsunami waves began to decrease and the speed was slowing down.

A group of people appeared in Xue Zhi's perception. They raised their hands high and the light of magic was constantly emerging.

However, the power of the tsunami has not yet been reduced to an acceptable level.

A large number of workers and ship owners are still on their way to evacuate.

"Infected person?"

Xue Zhi noticed the Originium crystals on the leader's wrist. The dark green crystals were spreading rapidly as he used Originium skills. In just a few seconds, they spread to the entire back of his hand and showed signs of breaking out of his body.

"Master! You can't..."

The young man's voice was torn apart by the sound of the rolling waves.

Excessive use of Originium Techniques will aggravate Ore Disease, which is why Froststar died.

The huge waves were rapidly receding before my eyes, and my confused mind could hardly tell whether it was an illusion or reality.

"We... succeeded?"

"Yes, it worked."

Xue Zhi's figure disappeared on the sea, and along with him disappeared the huge waves that seemed to destroy the world.

He came to the infected person and poured a bottle of high-concentration purification water and a recovery potion into the infected person's mouth.

The Ore Disease, which had already deteriorated to the final stage, was recovering rapidly. Some of the Originium that had broken out of the body fell on the beach, revealing the normal skin underneath.

The infected man's apprentices surrounded their master.

Judging from the situation, the man who suddenly appeared was undoubtedly the one who saved their master.

So they maintain basic restraint and respect.

"who are you?"

But what about the tsunami that suddenly disappeared at sea?

"This is not important."

Xue Zhi whispered as more huge waves came crashing back into the sea behind her. The huge kinetic energy that had nowhere to be released turned into a huge noise.

The waves reaching the shore have become gentle again.

"Take your master back, leave this to me. Also, don't ask any more questions. Your confidentiality level does not allow you to access anything about me."

After showing off, Xue Zhi disappeared again, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"By the way, do you remember what that person looked like?"

"...No."

"Wait, why can't I remember!?"

Without caring what they thought, Xue Zhi arrived at the deep sea and stepped onto the surging sea surface.

In an instant, the sea surface that had been extremely turbulent just now became as calm as a deep blue gem.

The power of the water element spread rapidly, and the still water surface continued to expand.

The ocean is deep and vast. Xue Zhi radiates her spiritual power to the surroundings and then walks deeper into the ocean.

A large marine creature passed by. I didn't know what it was, but it wasn't a sea creature.

This place is about 10 kilometers away from the coastline, which is not a completely deep sea. In addition, the Dayan Navy has cleared it, so there is no sign of Hai Si.

Xue Zhi felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and relaxation here.

Standing on this deep sea, it seems that you can forget the troubles of the world, become one with nature, and experience a sense of detachment and freedom.

"Whoo~~~"

Exhaling a breath of foul air, Xue Zhi prepared herself to come into contact with Hai Si.

In his deepest imagination, he could become the new brain of the Deep Blue Tree.

At the most dangerous moment, the Deep Blue Tree was used to spread the Originium to the entire Terra, and it was used to store the souls of intelligent creatures, while the Originium was used to store other information. The two were combined to survive the approaching threats in the starry sky.

"Deep Blue Tree, let me see what you have become now."

Chapter 34: Deep Sea Puppy

Stepping into the real deep sea, the ocean here becomes more dangerous.

Huge waves were surging all around, and the pouring rain connected the sky and the earth together.

The huge sound caused by the vibration of the sea water filled the entire world. Among them, there were even more dangerous things hidden. The infrasound waves produced by the friction between the waves were hidden in it. These invisible things that killed people were everywhere in this sea area.

But Xue Zhi's arrival put all this on hold.

Walking on the water as if it were flat ground, he had already discovered some strange little things appearing within his perception range.

Those are definitely not serious marine creatures.

Seriously, how could a creature that can survive in the deep sea have four legs? That's too redundant.

However, they did not approach him, perhaps because they had not sensed him yet, or for some other reason.

As Xue Zhi walked, more and more strange creatures appeared, but whether they were in shallow waters or deep waters, they all swam straight in a certain direction as if they did not see Xue Zhi.

"What happened there?"

Xue Zhi was not very familiar with the plot related to the deep sea, but in the deep sea a few days ago, Agor had already launched a campaign to conquer the newly born creatures. The current changes in the ocean were nothing more than the aftermath of the battle at that time.

Xue Zhi quickened his pace, and a figure floating on the sea, being torn apart by Hai Si, also entered his perception range.

Several shallow breaths of life were then heard.

"Deep Sea Hunter? He's still alive. Looks like I'm lucky."

The invisible telekinesis stretched out and pulled the figure to Xue Zhi's side from a distance.
