Journey to the Mysterious Sea

In the bustling yet mixed mercenary market, the street was crowded with people and the noise was endless. People were either busy trading or rushing on their way. It was a busy scene. However, the atmosphere suddenly became tense at this moment. The crowds were running around in panic like a tide. Shouts and curses were intertwined, as if it was the opening song of a nightmare. The whole scene was chaotic and terrifying.

Jin Xiaofeng and Zi Zhuque started a thrilling and fierce battle in the center of this chaos. Jin Xiaofeng's eyes were filled with astonishment and unwillingness, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was trying her best to resist the fear and anxiety in her heart. The sweat on her forehead fell like rain, wetting her hair. She widened her eyes and shouted at the top of her lungs: "How is it possible? Am I so vulnerable in front of you?" Her voice was filled with deep despair and anger, which was a doubt about her own strength and a questioning of the injustice of fate. Every word seemed to burst out from the depths of her soul, full of endless pain and struggle.

A cruel smile appeared on Zi Zhuque's face, and that smile was like frost in the cold winter, chilling people. Her eyes were as cold as frost, without any mercy, as if Jin Xiaofeng in front of her was just an insignificant ant. She stretched out her hands like iron pliers and grabbed Jin Xiaofeng's neck fiercely. The force was so great that it seemed to strangle Jin Xiaofeng's life. There was a "click" sound, which was particularly clear in the noisy environment and horrifying. Jin Xiaofeng's eyes rolled back instantly, white foam kept pouring out of her mouth, and her body fell down limply, like a withered flower, losing its vitality.

Zi Zhuque looked at Jin Xiaofeng, who had already lost consciousness, indifferently. There was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was looking at a worthless object. She slowly put the short knife in her hand back into the scabbard at her waist, her movements smooth and cold. She said disdainfully: "Do you still need to ask? Do you still think you are someone in my eyes?" After saying that, she turned around without any nostalgia, grabbed Jin Xiaofeng and left quickly. Her figure quickly disappeared from people's sight, leaving only a chaotic and terrified crowd.

At the same time, the news that the Purple Vermilion Bird had come forward to assassinate Jin Xiaofeng spread in all directions at an alarming speed, as if it had grown wings. When Emperor Lin Ling heard the news, his face instantly turned livid, his eyes widened, and it seemed as if flames were about to burst out of his eyes. The veins on his forehead bulged like twisted earthworms, and he shouted angrily: "The Red Dragon Emperor, you despicable and shameless villain!" His voice echoed in the palace, carrying endless anger and hatred, as if it was going to shake the entire palace down.

Emperor Lin Ling was extremely anxious, and he quickly called the guards around him. His eyes revealed anxiety and determination, which was a father's deep concern for his daughter, and a monarch's firm belief in the future. He said: "You should spread the news immediately, and call on people with lofty ideals in the Great Wilderness. As long as anyone can rescue my daughter Jin Xiaofeng from the hands of the Purple Vermillion Bird, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold and silver, and then, after I establish the country, I will make him an earl." His words were full of concern for his daughter and expectations for the future. Every word was loud and clear, as if it was an order that could not be questioned.

The guard nodded solemnly. He knew the importance of this mission and quickly spread the news. For a time, this news caused a great uproar in the wilderness, like a huge rock thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Countless people with lofty ideals followed the news, carrying their own dreams and ambitions, and prepared to rescue Jin Xiaofeng.

It was three days later when Wang Xunhai learned the news. When he heard the news, a strong desire suddenly ignited in his heart, which was the desire for wealth, status and honor. He knew that this was a rare opportunity. If he could successfully rescue Jin Xiaofeng, he would change his fate and realize his life value.

Wang Xunhai quickly got ready, his heart filled with excitement and nervousness. He came to his brother, his eyes full of determination and expectation, and said: "Brother, you have to help me. As long as we can rescue the little girl designated by Emperor Lin Ling, we can be successful." There was a tremor in his voice, which was the fear of the unknown and the expectation for the future.

The elder brother looked at Wang Xunhai quietly, his eyes revealing a hint of relief and appreciation. He knew that Wang Xunhai was no longer the ignorant boy, he already had his own goals and pursuits. Then, he smiled, that smile was full of encouragement and trust, and said: "Okay, you dare to take this task, which proves that you already have ambitions. There are many capable people and ambitious people in this world, but people like you who have firm beliefs, once they have ambitions, will make progress at a rapid pace. I promise to help you, get ready, let's go and save Jin Xiaofeng."

Wang Xunhai listened to his brother's words quietly, and a strong feeling of gratitude suddenly surged in his heart. At the same time, a surge of motivation also arose in his heart. He turned around without hesitation and began to prepare his luggage in an orderly manner. He checked every piece of equipment very carefully, from every wrinkle of the clothes to every small part of the tools, trying to ensure that there was no omission. His movements were as agile as a cheetah and as skilled as a craftsman. His focused eyes seemed to be burning with a blazing flame, full of unwavering determination. He knew that this adventure was of great significance and he must be fully prepared.

When the time of departure finally came, Wang Xunhai slowly raised his head and looked at the distant sky, and secretly made a vow in his heart: no matter how many difficulties and obstacles the road ahead was filled with, no matter how many powerful and fierce enemies he would encounter on the way forward, he would definitely do his best to rescue Jin Xiaofeng and unswervingly realize his dream. Then, he resolutely turned around and embarked on this unknown journey side by side with his brother. In the warm and soft afterglow of the setting sun, their figures appeared particularly firm and upright, like two unshakable mountains. They took firm steps and bravely moved forward towards the unknown dangers and opportunities without hesitation, ready to write a legendary story that belongs only to them, and let this story leave a strong and colorful mark in the long river of time.
