Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

On the bow, Ning Tianchen and others enjoyed the scenery of the sunrise at sea for the first time from the perspective of standing on the boat.

Under the protection of Ning Tianchen, Ning Rongrong stood at the bow, opening her arms and embracing the breath of the sea.

The crew of the Manta at this time is no longer the same as before. In order to ensure the safety of navigation, Chen Haobai is training the sailors to adapt to the environment on the Manta.

As the sun rose to the top of the sky, Chen Haobai reminded everyone: "The wind is strong at sea, and with the direct sunlight, it's easy to get a tan."

His reminder was naturally directed at Ning Rongrong, the wealthy noblewoman.

Sailing on the sea is a boring process.

At the beginning, Ning Tianchen and others felt fresh and curious about everything in the sea.

But as their curiosity faded, they felt like they were in prison and resistance began to emerge in their hearts.

It’s not like everyone hasn’t thought about passing the time through practicing.

But when the ship is sailing on the sea, it will be bumpy when encountering wind and waves, and people can't calm down at all.

A few days later, the ship passed by an island.

While Chen Haobai sent people off the boat to replenish fresh water, he also specially prepared a few fishing rods for everyone to pass the time on the boat.

"Different areas of the ocean have different types of fish and shrimp. Perhaps this freshness can help ease your mood."

At the beginning of fishing, Ning Tianchen and others were a little uncomfortable, but as time went by, they gradually calmed down and started fishing at sunrise every day, sometimes even until late at night.

……

More than a month after setting sail, an island appeared on the path of the Manta.

Chen Haobai carefully compared the nautical chart and felt very confused.

Fresh water resources and food can be replenished on the islands. For every captain, it is a must to find out the locations of the islands in the sea areas that they often visit.

Ning Tianchen just happened to come to the Ship Island. After listening to the other party's words, he smiled and said, "Perhaps you have rarely come to this sea area and have not seen this island before."

The sea is boundless and a ship sailing on it is like a small boat.

The scale of the island seems large, but the sea level has curvature. For some islands without high mountains, it is indeed not easy to discover their existence from a distance.

The first mate explained: "Our ship often fishes in this sea area, but we have never seen an island like this."

After a pause, he said excitedly, "It is not uncommon for people to make fortunes in the sea in the past. I think there is a high possibility that there is a treasure buried on this island."

The number of ruins in the sea is no less than that on land.

Tens of thousands of years ago, many strong men would choose to venture out to the sea before their death, taking the opportunity to look for opportunities, break through to a higher level and prolong their lives.

But unfortunately, since ancient times, very few people can find opportunities before the deadline, and most of the strong people die on the way.

Humans are not aquatic creatures. Before they die, they will always try to die on land, and sea soul masters are no exception.

This is why the first mate was so excited.

On the other hand, Chen Haobai was extremely worried and seemed unwilling to dock the boat at the shore.

"We have never been to this island before, and we don't know the sea conditions around it. If it hits a reef, we won't be able to pull the Manta to the reef with just a few of us."

The first mate said unconcernedly, "Captain, we are all soul masters. One of us can match dozens of ordinary people in terms of strength. Besides, how can the ship run aground so easily?"

"Give me a small boat, and I'll take my men to explore the sea conditions ahead."

Ning Tianchen was a little confused about what these two people were thinking.

The first mate and the captain had different opinions. Logically, the captain's advice should be followed, but the second and third mates were eager to try and were preparing to lower the lifeboat.

"Guest, what do you think?"

Chen Haobai didn't want to reject the first mate's opinion outright, so he looked at Ning Tianchen.

"I don't care."

After a pause, Ning Tianchen continued, "Let's get to the shore. I haven't been on land for a long time. I always feel uneasy."

Of course, if there really is treasure on the island, it would add some fun to the boring voyage.

"Okay." Chen Haobai compromised.

The first mate selected several sailors to drive the lifeboat with him, sailing in front of the Manta to explore the sea conditions ahead.

Ning Tianchen returned to the deck and informed everyone of the news.

"I can finally stand on solid ground." Oscar put away his fishing rod and stretched.

Others followed.

Only Chen Huayu was still fishing. His fishing rod was bent into a half-moon shape. The muscles in his arms bulged and he was trying with all his might to pull the fish up.

Nowadays, the materials of fishing rods used by everyone have been improved many times and are not easy to break.

Otherwise, any fish with a little strength can break the fishing rod. How can you fish?

"Everyone come and help, it's such a big fish!" Chen Haoyu said gritting his teeth.

He is a strong attacking soul master. Even without activating his martial soul, his strength is even stronger than Feng Xiaotian.

How big of a fish could it be that it was so strenuous for him?
Without time to think, Ning Tianchen lay beside the railing of the deck and looked down at the sea.

Feng Xiaotian and Oscar worked together to help Chen Huayu steady the fishing rod.

Ning Tianchen's spiritual power penetrated the sea surface, searching for traces of prey beneath the sea.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows.

Under the sea, a huge monster was biting the fishhook tightly. As the fishing line continued to tighten, the big guy gradually surfaced.

Without time to think, Ning Tianchen shot out sword energy from his fingertips and cut the fishing line.

Chen Huayu and others had no time to react and fell to the deck.

"You caught a ten thousand year old soul beast, it seems to be some kind of whale."

As he spoke, Ning Tianchen hurriedly reminded Chen Haobai to drive the Manta to make an emergency avoidance.

Whale-like soul beasts are docile in nature and rarely take the initiative to attack ships on the sea.

But if this big guy gets playful and wants to jump out of the sea and flip over the bow, it will be a disaster for the Manta.

Not to mention whether the whale's body would hit the ship. Even if it didn't, the huge waves caused by such a large body falling back into the sea would be enough to smash the ship.

Chen Haobai didn't dare to hesitate. He took the helm himself and sped away from the area.

Ning Tianchen had sword wings growing on his back, floating on top of the ship.

Once this big guy tries to jump out of the water, he will stop it immediately.

Feng Xiaotian and others were also ready for battle.

Chen Huayu smiled bitterly. He didn't expect to cause such a big mess.

Soon, the sea surface under the ship changed from dark blue to black, and the giant creature was about to surface.

The Panlong Seven Killing Sword appeared in Ning Tianchen's hand, ready to strike at any time.

The giant whale underwater seemed to feel threatened and stopped floating up, instead diving into the deep sea.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The whale soul beast is so fucking big, it's scary."

Oscar slumped to the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, Tianchen took a closer look, otherwise we wouldn't have known that this guy was fished out." Feng Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The first mate drove the small boat and quickly found a safe passage for the Manta.

The Manta dropped anchor 200 meters from the island, and Chen Haobai arranged for everyone to land. However, the Manta could not be left unattended, so the captain, Chen Haobai, and the navigator stayed on the ship together.

Ning Tianchen and others took Oscar's flying mushroom sausage and landed first.

Stepping on the land of the island, everyone felt extremely at ease.

"This island is huge. Could there really be treasure inside?"

Chen Huayu jumped onto a tall coconut tree on the shore and looked at the scenery of the island.

On the way to the island, Ning Tianchen observed the size of the island.

There are no high mountains on the island, and it is difficult to discover the existence of this island if the distance is too far.

The area of ​​this island is not small, much larger than the island they have landed on before.

If there is a stranded ship nearby, the crew members on board are likely to survive on this island.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone moved his family to an island in order to avoid being hunted down by his enemies.

Over time, these people will take root on the island and evolve a unique culture.

"What are you afraid of? If there are savages, doesn't that prove that there are treasures here?" Chen Huayu said with a smile: "Besides, there are not many soul beasts gathered here. Even if the people living on the island can practice, their strength is not to be feared in the absence of soul rings."

Ning Tianchen reminded: "It is better to be cautious. We cannot rule out the possibility of pirates on the island."

With their strength, they will have no problem protecting themselves if they encounter pirates, but the other crew members on the Manta will probably not be spared.

Without crew members, the ship cannot sail far.

Under Ning Tianchen's arrangement, the eight people were divided into two teams to explore the island from two directions.

The island is rich in resources, and the woods are full of tropical fruits.

Among them, there are many small freshwater rivers, and the water flows not towards the sea, but into the depths of the island.

Ning Tianchen guessed that there was a huge lake in the center of the island, which was enough for the Manta to replenish a large amount of water resources.

……

During the whole day, Ning Tianchen and others were exploring the island.

Except for some strange plants, there is no trace of human survival or life on the island, not even a single living creature.

This is not surprising, as the island here is far away from the land and seabirds cannot fly here at all.

In the evening, everyone met at the landing point.

Chen Haobai arranged for the crew to catch sea fish, crabs and shrimps and held a bonfire party.

Before departure, the Manta prepared a lot of condiments for cooking seafood, so the fish and shrimp would not feel boring.

When Ning Tianchen and others arrived, the crew carried out a large barrel of wine from the cabin.

Since it’s a bonfire party, drinks are a necessity!
"Dear guests, come and have a taste." Chen Haobai greeted.

At this time, the second and third mates were on board the Manta. When the party was halfway through, Chen Haobai and the navigator would take over from them.

In short, the boat must be guarded at all times.

In the past, there were many examples where ships were robbed by pirates because of carelessness while resting on islands.

Furthermore, the waves change all the time, and the rising water level can sweep the boat away. If there are people on the boat, they can tighten or loosen the anchor chain at any time.

As the captain, Chen Haobai naturally cannot make such a low-level mistake.

"Did you find anything?" Ning Tianchen asked.

Feng Xiaotian shook his head, "This seems to be just a secluded island. We may be the first people to land on the island in recent decades."

……

Ning Tianchen's guess was correct. There was a lake in the middle of the island, which gathered water from all over the island.

However, the depth of this freshwater lake is only about one meter, and more water may have flowed into the sea through internal undercurrents.

After observing the situation of the lake and confirming that it was fresh water, Chen Haobai arranged for crew members to come here to fetch water to replenish the fresh water resources for the Manta.

The lake is a long way from the sea, and it takes more than an hour for sailors to carry water. Therefore, the speed of replenishing water is slow, and the ship has to stay here for several days.

The first mate did not give up on the treasure on the island and continued to search for it privately.

But Ning Tianchen and others couldn’t find it, so how could he find it alone?

Over the next few days, there was no rain on the island, and as the crew on the Manta continued to take in water, the water level of the lake dropped a lot.

One day, a sailor carrying water saw something strange in the lake and shouted, "Look, there is a cave under the lake."

The surrounding water is crystal clear, and this underwater cave is particularly eye-catching.

The other two sailors came over and decided to dive down and explore a little.

To avoid complicated water conditions, they decided that one person would go down to explore, while the remaining two would stay on the shore holding the rope.

An hour passed by unknowingly.

There was no sign of the sailors on the Manta for a long time. Chen Haobai was worried that they might have met with an accident, so he immediately arranged for the first mate and several sailors to go and find out what happened.

Ning Tianchen and others followed curiously.

"Could it be that there are soul beasts on this island and these crew members were attacked?" Oscar couldn't help but think wildly.

Ning Tianchen kicked him and warned him, "The soul beast's attack makes a lot of noise. We can't be unaware of it. Don't talk nonsense and shake the morale of the army."

Oscar shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.

In order to facilitate water supply, the crew members artificially opened a road.

The first mate and the sailors rushed over first, while Ning Tianchen and others walked leisurely.

Suddenly, there was the sound of fighting coming from the front.

Ning Tianchen, who had a keen sense of perception, immediately chased after him.

……

The cave the sailors discovered was an underwater cave with a cave chamber at the end.

The chamber is elevated above sea level, so one can breathe freely inside.

The sailors explored it for a while and soon found a large amount of gold and silver treasures hidden under the rocks.

The sailor swam out of the water with some gold, silver and treasures. When he was about to share the money with the other two sailors, the first mate arrived with his men.

Suddenly, the two sides confronted each other.

"First mate, these treasures are not yours. Get out of the way."

The big copy was a money-loving person. Seeing this, he sneered and said, "If you can't go back, what's the use of these treasures even if I give them to you?"

"Haha, as the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. Let's share it together. When we go back, I can even help you cover up a little bit."

A sailor was furious, "Who the hell believed your lies? The treasure is on the ship, so there is no share for us!"

The two sides started to fight because they had no agreement on the matter.

In order to ensure the safety of this voyage, Ning Tianchen deliberately recruited a group of sailors with soul master skills.

These sailors are not ordinary people either, their average strength is above level 20.

Although the first mate is a Soul Master, he cannot take down these people in a short period of time.

Moreover, the morale of the sailors he brought with him was not unified, and the battle gradually turned into a melee.

In the melee, the sailors instinctively teamed up to eliminate the strongest man, the first mate, to ensure a balance of power. (End of this chapter)
