Chapter 227 It’s better to come early than to come by chance

After much explanation, I told Shiratori the story of the man of Qi who worried about the sky falling.

Shiratori was somewhat gratified upon hearing this; the younger generation had done a good job in learning from their failures.

By being familiar with this type of allusion, one can avoid making the mistakes made by those who came before.

Cheng Feng didn't discourage this naive ancestor bird.

The reality is tragic: humanity's biggest flaw is that it only summarizes its mistakes but doesn't learn from them.

"Hey Bird, tell me how to leave."

Having stayed at sea for too long, Cheng Feng worried that the people outside might turn back due to shortages of supplies.

"The way to leave is simple; just keep going upwards and you'll escape this little world."

The solution proposed by Shiratori was surprisingly simple.

No wonder it says this is common sense.

"Hey Bird, do you have any belongings you need to take with you? If not, let's set off now."

Before setting off, Cheng Feng made a point of asking this newly acquainted Bird Master about his situation.

The white bird glanced reluctantly at the black bird eggshell on the stone tablet.

"I have nothing else to bring besides this."

But it's also the core of the formation. Oh well, I'll come back again after the dragon fire dies down!

Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng immediately set off to leave the area covered by the stone tablet.

Once in the ocean, it swam straight upwards.

Not long after this, Cheng Feng felt that distortion of time and space again.

The moment the Boundless Demon Eyes opened, the surrounding light was replaced by darkness once again.

He had already returned to the abyss below the Hateful Heaven Tribe.

At this moment, the white bird was staring into Cheng Feng's eyes, but it quickly looked away and began to look at the outside environment.

Once he arrived here, Cheng Feng felt much more at ease. He knew that as long as he kept going upwards, he would eventually leave this abyss.

Cheng Feng climbed upwards at top speed, not knowing how long he had been walking.

The white bird suddenly flapped its wing at Cheng Feng.

With a thought, Cheng Feng abruptly stopped in place, completely ignoring the inertia brought about by his speed.

Turning his head to look at the white bird, he saw it excitedly waving its wings in front of Cheng Feng's eyes.

Cheng Feng instantly understood its meaning and immediately opened his Boundless Demon Eyes.

The next second, a white curtain suddenly appeared above Cheng Feng, completely blocking out the road ahead.

"I almost fell for their trick. It seems I should keep the Boundless Demon Eye running until I leave this place."

Cheng Feng developed this habit unintentionally; on land, his eyes would revert to normal after each use of the Boundless Demon Eye.

After a brief, introspective review, Cheng Feng began to scrutinize the object blocking his path.

This thing, which looks like a white curtain blocking the way, is alive; its body is moving subtly.

Soon, a giant human face appeared on the white screen.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng instantly understood what this guy was.

"Hai Ruo! I never expected to encounter it here."

Hai Ruo has many identities in legends. Some say he is the sea god of the North Sea, ruling over a vast sea area.

Some say it is just an evil creature that hides in the sea and attacks passing fishing boats.

In the legends of evil creatures, it is depicted as having a white body and a human face.

It also has hallucinogenic properties and can create storms.

Cheng Feng didn't notice it just now, probably because of its hallucinogenic ability.

Soon Cheng Feng saw another digested merman on Hai Ruo's body.

It was encased in Hai Ruo's white body.

"It seems they were attracted by the merman's corpse. Every sip and every bite has its cause and effect."

Since we've come across it, let's just get rid of it while we're at it!

Thinking it over, Cheng Feng raised his hand, gesturing for the white bird to leave his shoulder first.

After understanding Cheng Feng's meaning, the white bird flapped its wings and swam to the side.

Cheng Feng then activated the clan markings on his body, and at the same time, blood-red flames ignited around him.

This flame was created by the fusion of the Undying Dragon Flame and the bloodline of the Flame Emperor.

It has a powerful restraining effect when dealing with evil creatures like Hai Ruo, which have enormous bodies.

At this moment, Shiratori felt even more surprised by Cheng Feng.

Even those who are direct descendants of Emperor Yan do not possess the power that Cheng Feng has during their developmental period.

Engulfed in red flames, Cheng Feng charged straight at Hai Ruo, who was blocking his way.

Just as Cheng Feng approached Hai Ruo, it sensed the danger and immediately vomited out a large number of merman corpses.

Then the enormous white body suddenly contracted.

The abyss, which was originally tens of meters in diameter, has been shrunk to a size of a few square meters.

Just as Cheng Feng threw a punch at it, Hai Ruo stretched her body into a thin line with incredible speed.

It rushed quickly toward a small crack in the nearby reef.

"I wondered why I hadn't encountered it when I came here; it turns out it's mostly hidden among the rocks."

We can't let it get away, or the mission will be ruined.

In a moment of desperation, Cheng Feng swung his palm at the crevice in the reef from a distance.

The powerful River-Turning Hand smashed the surrounding rocks to pieces just before Hai Ruo was about to dive into the crevice.

Hai Ruo's movements also paused for a moment.

In that split second, Cheng Feng brought the Flying Fish Sprint and Water Control Techniques to their fullest potential.

Just as Hai Ruo's body had already burrowed into the crevice, it grabbed its little tail.

Red flames ignited from Hai Ruo's inside, quickly burning through its outer skin.

Having successfully started the fire, Cheng Feng retreated rapidly, waiting for the flames to burn him to death.

Cheng Feng's Undying Dragon Fire has a similar characteristic to the Dragon Vein Fire: it can burn normally even in water.

Moreover, it will not have any impact on the surrounding water.

This kind of flame has gone beyond the realm of science; if physicists knew about it, their faith would probably crumble.

After Hai Ruo was tainted by Cheng Feng's Undying Dragon Flame, it was in extreme pain and pushed itself out of the crack.

Its body continued to grow larger, but the flames started burning from within.

The larger Hai Ruo's body became, the more fiercely the flames burned.

But to Cheng Feng's astonishment, Hai Ruo actually managed to separate a piece of her body, less than twenty centimeters long, from the flames.

Its desperate act of sacrificing its own life to save itself demonstrates an extremely strong will to survive.

Unfortunately, Cheng Feng wouldn't do something like cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots, otherwise all his previous actions would have been meaningless.

The already severely injured Hai Ruo was worlds apart from Cheng Feng in speed.

Hai Ruo has tried her best to cast illusions on Cheng Feng, attempting to confuse him and escape from here.

But under the Boundless Demon Eye, these illusions had no effect on Cheng Feng.

Finally, Cheng Feng lightly touched the fleeing Hai Ruo with his finger, which was burning with undying dragon fire.

Then this last hope was also reduced to ashes as the dragon fire burned.

'Ding~'

The mission to eliminate Hai Ruo has been completed.

Reward: Illusion

Do you wish to collect it?

"Claim the reward for Hai Ruo's quest; other rewards will be temporarily postponed."

After a moment's thought, Cheng Feng decided to claim the illusion magic first.

If the illusion works as he imagines, it will be easier to communicate with Shiratori.

'Rewards have been issued.'

As soon as the notification sound ended, Cheng Feng felt his brow throb like a heartbeat.

A third perspective also began to emerge in Cheng Feng's mind.
