Chapter 1694 - 1693: Giant Island, Vine Dragon Mountain!
Qin Feng and his group were speeding across the sea.
Every few hundred kilometers, they’d switch to a new Sea Beast, and Nami was already on a Sea Beast, waiting along the route to Vine Dragon Mountain.
So they maintained this high-speed mode the entire night.
Time passed bit by bit.
The stars receded.
A layer of pale light appeared on the horizon by the sea.
At this moment, Qin Feng and the others stopped.
In front of them was a thick fog.
Vine Dragon Mountain was surrounded by this mist, spanning a full three hundred kilometers before one could pass through it.
Inside, was extremely perilous.
Not only did massive whirlpools occasionally appear, capable of sucking a person to the sea bed in an instant, but there were also many extraordinarily powerful Sea Beasts, and the sky was lit up by Thunder and Lightning.
"Everyone, be careful from here on." Ling’er said gravely, "It’s very dangerous in there."
Even with her Saint level power, she felt the danger, clearly illustrating just how perilous it was!
Nami then said, "Let me escort everyone through!"
"You? I know you’re strong, but the Sea Beasts inside are truly formidable, and many are remnants from Ancient Times," Ling’er said.
"No worries, I can give it a try."
Nami nodded her head.
Then.
She condensed a transparent bubble around her body, allowing Qin Feng and Ling’er to enter inside, before moving forward through the water.
As expected!
The situation beneath the sea was even more complex than Qin Feng imagined.
Everywhere were massive whirlpools, making it difficult for them to exert their power, and several times they nearly got swept inside.
All around them surged with the immense power auras of Sea Beasts.
Not only were they as large as mountains, but the aura they emitted was also incomparably powerful, far beyond normal Sea Beasts.
"Trouble!"
Ling’er saw a gigantic Sea Beast in front of them, opening its mouth to swallow them.
Seeing this, Nami closed her eyes, channeling her aura.
A golden light burst forth from her body, bright as a sun, illuminating the surroundings.
In the next moment.
The Sea Beast paused, then closed its huge mouth and turned away in another direction.
"Just like that... it left??"
Ling’er was utterly bewildered.
Qin Feng was also very surprised.
As the three of them continued in the bubble, the enormous Sea Beasts they encountered along the way all stepped aside, clearing a path to Vine Dragon Mountain!
On the coast.
Ling’er asked in surprise, "Nami, how did you do that?"
"Oh, the aura I emitted just now was the ’Power of Sea God.’ I figured the aura of the ’Power of Sea God’ would definitely prevent them from attacking." Nami explained.
Qin Feng couldn’t help but praise, "Incredible!"
He also possessed the Power of Sea God, though not as vast as Ling’er, but he knew that condensing the Power of Sea God into such a golden aura to drive away strong Sea Beasts was beyond his current capability.
It proved that, just as he thought, Nami’s growth was remarkably fast!
"So that’s how it is..."
Ling’er now understood, hesitating as her eyes wavered, "Nami, I actually..."
Struggling to find the words.
Nami saw this and smiled, saying, "I know what you want to say, no problem at all, I’ll assist to the best of my ability."
"Ah? This..."
Ling’er was even more embarrassed at hearing that.
Additionally, she was extremely surprised that Nami actually knew her thoughts and agreed so readily.
She thought that, since Nami possessed this ability to traverse the mist, she could bring more people to support Vine Dragon Mountain.
Right now, Vine Dragon Mountain had very few people from the Lower Realm.
Besides the many who didn’t want to fight the calamity, wanting to seize Sumeru, the attempt to reach Vine Dragon Mountain was exceedingly difficult — that layer of three hundred kilometers of mist alone was despairing.
Now, it just so happened that Nami could solve this problem!
From her understanding, relations between the Mermaid Clan and humans were quite strained.
The fact that they helped Qin Feng so much this time was already unexpected; now, to assist them fully, and actually proactively volunteered to do so!
"No need to be polite."
Nami said warmly with a smile, "Your matters are mine as well!"
Saying this, she glanced up at Qin Feng.
Ling’er had a flash of realization, finally understanding it was for Qin Feng’s sake — to help Qin Feng!
"Alright, I’ll get going first to take care of something. Last night, I was dealing with a Sea Monster accidentally released from a long-sealed Divine Miracle; I need to hurry back in case my subordinates can’t hold much longer." Nami said.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had such important matters, truly apologetic!"
Ling’er said apologetically.
She had never expected that Nami had such a grave issue, yet still personally escorted them.
It was too surprising for her.
"I said, no need to be polite; we are all on the same side."
With that, Nami bid them farewell and turned to leave.
"We should get going too!"
Qin Feng said to Ling’er.
Ling’er looked up at him with an unusual expression, "I have a feeling... she likes you?"
"Uh..."
Qin Feng helplessly shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Isn’t rescuing Xing’er the most critical thing right now?"
He looked up toward Vine Dragon Mountain.
To be precise.
They were facing an island — a very large island, nearly as big as Hanjiang Province in Hua Country.
Such a Giant Island had not been discovered.
Because it was shrouded entirely by this cloud and mist, which satellites couldn’t detect.
Inside the mist, it was always Thunder and Lightning, exceedingly perilous.
It’s called Vine Dragon Mountain.
Because the entire Giant Island resembled a mountain!
An enormous mountain reaching into the clouds!
People standing at its foot.
Were like ants, extremely insignificant.
The structures here were also enormous, and the mountain was covered with Vines, lush and verdant, wrapping around the tallest peak in the middle.
From a distance, the shape of that peak vaguely resembled a colossal dragon towering a thousand feet!
Thus, it’s called Vine Dragon Mountain.
The Vines on the mountain were at least the thickness of a person’s wrist, while most were as thick as the large trees in the Mortal World.
The leaves were similarly gigantic.
From time to time, roars of beasts echoed from the valley.
The sound alone conveyed tremendous power, far beyond ordinary Demon Beasts.
"Where is she now?"
Qin Feng’s expression gradually turned serious.
The breeze tousled his long hair, adding a touch of depth to his face.
"Follow me!"
Ling’er said.
Qin Feng followed her through the enormous Vines, like walking through a forest, quickly arriving at a small hill.
This hill was devoid of Vines, with a Defensive Array arranged around it.
Qin Feng followed Ling’er to the array, where she formed Hand Formations with her hands, shouting, "Open!!"
A Barrier Gate appeared in front.
Upon entering inside, Qin Feng was astonished.
Within were pavilions and towers, everything fully equipped.
They could clearly see what was happening outside, but from outside, nothing inside — no buildings or people — was visible.
At this moment.
Loud noises came from a courtyard within.
Ling’er’s brows furrowed, saying, "Damn!"
