Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 119: School of Bone-Eating Fish

The sky was sunny, with flocks of white seabirds flying in groups, gliding through the air.

The tides by the seaside surged like piled up snowflakes.

Xu Mu and his group of seven people, some controlling magical tools, some riding on demonic beasts, flew for about seven to eight hundred miles under the guidance of Whale Luo Chen.

"Right here!"

Whale Luo Chen stepped on a white jade flying boat, waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then took out a positioning compass and infused it with spiritual power.

The compass emitted a glow, and the pointer on it floated in the air, constantly rotating.

Although Whale Luo Chen had been here before, the sea was different from the land. It was impossible to determine the location on the sea surface with the naked eye. It had to be determined through the compass.

Xu Mu, who was standing on the side, stepped on his flying sword and surveyed the surrounding environment.

Looking into the distance, there were no islands within a radius of more than ten miles. It seemed that the ruins were not on the sea surface, but beneath it. The exact depth was unknown.

Xu Mu released his divine sense to investigate.

Others apparently guessed as well and unconsciously released their divine senses, scanning the sea.

However, their cultivation levels were limited, and with the obstruction of the seawater, the depth they could scan was limited. No one discovered the location of the ruins.

At this moment, the compass in Whale Luo Chen's hand finally stopped rotating, and the light pointed to a certain spot.

"It's right here, about one to two hundred zhang below!" Whale Luo Chen put away the compass and spoke.

One to two hundred zhang was about three hundred to six hundred meters. It was difficult for ordinary people to reach such a deep sea area without relying on diving equipment.

However, everyone present was a Foundation Building stage cultivator, with bodies harder than steel. Even if they dived thousands of meters underwater, it wouldn't be a big problem.

Everyone began to display their abilities.

First was Whale Luo Chen. He took out a blue bead from his storage bag, infused it with spiritual power, and the bead immediately emitted a bright light.

Under the illumination of the bead, the seawater automatically separated, and Whale Luo Chen held the blue bead, flying unimpeded towards the seabed.

Xu Yiren took out a gray gauze net, enveloping her whole body. It also easily isolated the seawater as she followed Whale Luo Chen towards the seabed.

Shen Gai rode the black bird he came on and plunged into the water. A black light curtain formed on the surface of the black bird's body, covering Shen Gai's bulky body, allowing him to move in the water like an arrow.

Wang Xianyin formed a blue light curtain with a hand seal, falling into the seawater. The seawater seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, pushing her deeper into the sea.

Yang Wanshou released a shuttle-shaped magical tool, enlarged it, and sat inside, moving freely underwater.

Zhang Tianluo was the most peculiar. She jumped directly into the sea and swam with her hands and feet, even more agile than a fish.

Living on the sea, diving was a basic skill.

Each of them had their own expertise, but Xu Mu was not particularly good at diving.

He took out a talisman and stuck it on himself, forming a blue light curtain similar to Wang Xianyin's. Then he jumped into the water, using spiritual power to propel himself, following the others.

Among the seven people, the fastest was not Whale Luo Chen, who had the highest cultivation level, nor Shen Gai, who relied on a mount. It was the small-bodied Zhang Tianluo.

She used both her hands and feet, moving at an astonishing speed. The resistance of the water seemed nonexistent to her. While moving forward, she even had time to explore her surroundings.

The slowest person was undoubtedly Xu Mu, almost lagging behind.

If it weren't for everyone intentionally slowing down, they would have felt like they couldn't catch up.

This action made everyone in the team couldn't help but look back at him frequently.

Xu Mu showed an embarrassed smile and tried even harder to catch up, making others feel awkward to mention it.

However, everyone was quite puzzled. With Xu Mu's mid-Foundation Building stage cultivation, he shouldn't be so weak.

But now that everyone was present, no one felt comfortable asking.

As the group continued to dive, the originally bright seawater gradually darkened. Fortunately, everyone had their divine senses to assist them, so the lack of light didn't affect them much.

Various strange underwater creatures constantly passed through their divine senses.

The onlookers, who had long been accustomed to such sights, did not react much.

It wasn't until a group of strange fish with sharp fangs, dorsal fins with bone spurs, and black skin with white spots appeared that they became alert.

"It's a small group of bone-eating fish. Deal with them and keep going, or they'll keep chasing us!" Whale Luo Chen reminded.

Before he finished speaking, he formed hand seals and released several shuttle-shaped flying knives, which quickly rushed into the group of bone-eating fish.

In an instant, a large number of bone-eating fish were directly torn apart.

Facing Whale Luo Chen's attack, this group of bone-eating fish not only did not panic, but their eyes turned red and they charged towards the crowd like arrows.

"No wonder they are known as the most troublesome fish in the deep sea!" Xu Mu muttered to himself.

The bone-eating fish were not strong, only at the first rank, but their reproductive ability was terrifying. They feared nothing and ate everything. When their numbers reached a certain level, they became the most terrifying disaster in the sea, just like locusts on land.

Fortunately, the group of bone-eating fish in front of them only numbered a few thousand, belonging to a small group.

As Whale Luo Chen launched his attack, everyone also released their magical weapons and launched their attacks one after another.

Xu Mu did not use a flying sword, but directly used his Thunder Control Divine Ability.

His flying sword was of the fire attribute, and it was heavily suppressed underwater.

A golden thunder light flashed, and the bone-eating fish convulsed and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The people who were attacking were shocked by Xu Mu's methods, and even Xu Mu himself did not expect his Thunder Control Divine Ability to have such power underwater.

"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xu to cultivate a rare thunder attribute technique! Impressive!" Xu Yiren's eyes shimmered with admiration as she praised.

The gazes of the crowd towards Xu Mu also became somewhat unusual.

Their initial disdain for Xu Mu, who was swimming too slowly, instantly disappeared.

Zhang Tianluo, who had a proud temperament, even showed a trace of fear in her expression because Xu Mu's thunder attribute Divine Ability had a great restraint on her, especially underwater.

Relying on Xu Mu's Thunder Control Divine Ability, the group quickly cleared out the bone-eating fish and continued to dive deeper.

As for the corpses of the bone-eating fish, they were of little value. Except for Shen Gai, who had his mount swallow a few to fill its stomach, the others paid no attention to them.

"Fellow Daoist Xu's Divine Ability is vast! Shen admires it!" Shen Gai intentionally slowed down and walked side by side with Xu Mu, his fat face squeezed into a smile as he continuously praised.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is too kind! It's just some insignificant tricks!" Xu Mu smiled.

Just as Shen Gai was about to continue the conversation, Xu Yiren intentionally fell behind and stood between the two.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you better be on guard against certain people!" Xu Yiren looked at Shen Gai with a disgusted expression.

"Xu Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood me too deeply!" Shen Gai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, let's talk another day! Perhaps there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

After speaking, ignoring Xu Yiren's murderous gaze, Shen Gai patted his seated fish eagle and suddenly accelerated to catch up with Whale Luo Chen and the others.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, it seems like you don't really like Fellow Daoist Shen?" Xu Mu continued swimming forward while using his divine sense to transmit his voice.

"How could I like such a cunning person! Don't be fooled by his constant smiling. He's actually very cunning behind his back. I used to... hmph! Anyway, for your own safety, Fellow Daoist Xu, it's best to stay away from him!" Xu Yiren warned.

"I understand! Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist!" Xu Mu agreed.

He thought to himself that Xu Yiren must have suffered a great loss at the hands of Shen Gai, otherwise she wouldn't be so resentful.

After diving in the darkness for a while, a majestic underwater mountain peak appeared in everyone's divine sense.

"We've arrived!" Whale Luo Chen's voice transmitted into everyone's ears through divine sense.
