Chapter 391: Tomb Forest Sea
After leaving Tiandu, head north.
Cross the Yanshan Mountains, fly over the desert covered with sand like snow, and pass by the Tiancang Peak.
The entrance to Sijie City is not in the Seven Kingdoms, but on an island in the sea north of Qiming Kingdom.
Youhuang knew that there would definitely be obstructions, so she did not fly directly across the sea, nor did she choose to stay in the coastal town. Instead, she changed into the clothes of a fisherman's daughter and went out to sea with the fishermen.
"Girl, you look quite young. Are you also going to the Hundred Graves Forest Sea to look for treasure?"
The boatman rowed the boat and said, "Every year at this time, many strangers appear in our town and take advantage of merchant ships to go to the Baimulin Sea to search for treasures. Only a few can come out alive."
"Listen to the old man's advice, don't go there, that place is dangerous."
Youhuang was not surprised to hear the boatman's words. He had lived by the sea for generations and knew a few things.
"I have a reason to go." You Huang made up an excuse and said, "My master and I depend on each other for survival. Now her life is coming to an end. This time I went to the Hundred Graves Forest to find the longevity herbs for her. I didn't go with the others because I was afraid of being bullied."
"I understand what you mean, old man." The old man sighed and said, "I have been fishing at sea for so many years, and I have seen many companions and fellow disciples being killed for treasures."
"Master reminded me of this when we were leaving." You Huang said obediently, "Luckily, the spiritual herbs I'm looking for are on the edge of the Hundred Tomb Forest Sea. I don't have to go deep into the Hundred Tomb Forest Sea. It's okay even if I don't go with the merchant ship."
The masters behind the so-called merchant ships are also disciples of the major immortal sects in the human world. How can ordinary people enter the Hundred Graves Forest Sea at will?
The Hundred Tombs Forest Sea is also a barrier set up by the cultivation world for mortals. Most of those who did not return have joined the Immortal Sect, otherwise anything can enter the Four Realms City at will, wouldn't it be a mess?
"Old man, just send it here."
Before reaching the destination sea area, Youhuang stopped the fishing boat.
The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "Girl, the sea area covered with dark clouds over there is the Hundred Tombs Forest. It's still some distance away."
"It's okay, I can get through." You Huang tied the rope of his bamboo hat, stood up and said, "There is an undercurrent in the waters ahead, and the fishing boat will be easily swept away if it goes further."
"girl……"
As soon as the old man opened his mouth, You Huang dived into the sea. Frightened, he quickly asked, "Miss, are you going to swim over?"
You Huang floated on the water and said, "A cultivator is not afraid of water. There is no difference between being above water and below water. I just want to conceal my whereabouts so that others cannot figure out where I entered the Hundred Graves Forest Sea."
"It's amazing that the girl has such ability at such a young age."
"Old man, if no one asks you about what happened today, just don't say a word. If someone asks, just tell me the truth. Don't hide it from me."
Youhuang smiled and dived directly into the water. In order to avoid being noticed, she had to give up the flow of spiritual power. Looking at the aquatic creatures around her, she couldn't help but sigh that the unpolluted sea was good because the visibility was so high.
Daji was inside the water shelter, curiously looking at the fish swimming past her, and from time to time she would stretch out her claws to hook them over to play with them.
The Forest of Hundred Tombs is not as scary as rumored. It is formed due to the custom of water burials among coastal people. After death, the body is placed on a small boat and put into the sea, where it sinks to the depths of the sea with the waves.
Due to the influence of underwater undercurrents, the small boats carrying corpses were all carried to the same location and stranded. After thousands of years of accumulation, an area of water with extremely heavy yin energy was formed.
In order to prevent a large number of mortals from pouring into the Four Realms City, the cultivation world took advantage of this and added some formations, making it a terrifying sea area that people passed on by word of mouth. However, as long as you can pass through the Forest of Hundred Tombs, you will find the cave behind it.
As for why she didn't cross the Hundred Tombs Forest Sea, it was because she discovered in her previous life that it was safer and faster to walk through it.
The prerequisite is that no noise can be made so as not to awaken those deep-sea monsters. One overturn can overturn the entire Hundred Tomb Forest sea area. In order to pass smoothly through the seabed, Youhuang even cast a silencing spell and an immobilization spell on Daji.
Thump thump thump…
No one knew what was happening ahead, and people were jumping into the sea like dumplings.
After these people fell into the water, instead of casting spells to set up a water barrier to protect themselves, they kept floundering in the water, making the entire sea surface seem to be boiling.
The sea water in front suddenly turned red. Youhuang cried out inwardly that something was wrong when he saw this. He looked around and found a coffin that looked relatively intact. He opened it without hesitation and hid inside.
The creatures in the Baimu Sea have not been hunted by humans for thousands of years. They are extremely large in size, and often feed on rotten corpses that drift by, and have all become bloodthirsty sea monsters.
Smelling the blood, all the sleeping sea monsters in the entire Hundred Tomb Forest Sea woke up. Once they tasted the fresh flesh and blood, they would not only actively hunt down merchant ships passing through the Hundred Tomb Forest Sea, but also the fishing boats fishing nearby would be affected.
Sure enough, after a while, Youhuang felt a large group of sea monsters rushing over from all directions, and the huge waves they raised instantly blew away all the coffins nearby.
Before Youhuang could react, he was lifted up by the huge waves along with the coffin under him. He secretly cast a spell to prevent the coffin from falling apart. The waves kept hitting the coffin, making a loud noise, and bursts of screams could still be heard.
The sea monsters frantically scrambled to eat the monks who fell into the water, and the smell of blood soon filled the entire sea.
It was unknown how long they had been hiding in the coffin. The monsters left, the wind and waves finally subsided, and Youhuang immediately cast a spell to make the coffin sink under the water.
The coffins nearby were all shattered by the huge waves. The intact coffin was too conspicuous and would soon attract the attention of the nearby monks. It was strange that the merchant ship did not take the opportunity to escape.
Following the principle of "I won't move unless the enemy moves" and "it's darkest under the lamp", Youhuang hid himself and his coffin under the merchant ship.
As You Huang approached, he heard someone complaining, "So many monks were thrown in, so many sea monsters were attracted, but the young lady didn't want any of them and insisted on looking for a mermaid monster above the fourth level."
"In the human world, it's not that easy to find a fourth-level monster." The man added at the end.
"The name of the mermaid contains the word 'human', which means that the mermaid has the same intelligence as humans. Doesn't it mean that we can just throw a few people into the trap?"
Another person echoed quietly, reminding: "Forget it, let's work harder and talk less, lest the news gets to the young lady's ears. We will lose our lives, let alone be able to follow the young lady into the Immortal Sect."
"If I can't find the mermaid demon and get the mermaid pearl, my life weapon will not be perfect."
From the cabin high up in the merchant ship, a voice came as a matter of course: "Master Gu, do you know if there is any other way to lure out the mermaid demon?"
"I have seen information about mermaids in ancient books..." When Youhuang suddenly heard this voice, he was shocked: This is not Gu Xi's voice, how could he become the immortal master in the eyes of others?
