Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1254 - 39: The Eerie Time-Space Travel Current (Part 2)
So thinking from another angle, is it possible that they were... summoned over?
Wang Yunxiao stood on the deck, covering his face and sighing.
Do I look like a scientist? Why must I think about such complex issues?
At this moment, the other side seemed to also react, seeing Wang Yunxiao making no moves, a burly man wearing a gigantic mecha walked out from the cabin, holding a two-meter-long giant katana, muttering in Japanese.
"I am XXXX..."
With one slash, SNAP, the katana broke.
The burly man stood dumbfounded, unable to believe his eyes as he looked at the broken blade in his hand.
Wang Yunxiao didn’t want to waste time with him, so he directly asked in Japanese, "Which ship is your leader on?"
"Unbelievable! We will never betray our leader!"
The burly man roared excitedly, "You have the guts to take off your armor and battle me!"
Crazy...
Wang Yunxiao turned and jumped to another ship.
At this moment, the sound of cannon fire began erupting from behind.
The pirates finally realized that what approached wasn’t a fat fish, but a man-eating shark. They ignited the cannons on their ships, trying to scare those massive ships they couldn’t see clearly.
Little did they know, the opposite side’s cannons were already prepared.
At such close distance on the sea, it’s almost like holding a revolver against the other’s temple, leaving no room to dodge.
Amidst the earth-shattering sound of cannon fire, the three nearest pirate ships disintegrated on the spot, leaving nothing but debris.
Blazing flames illuminated half the sky, as Wang Yunxiao’s scarlet mecha descended from the sky, like a demon god, terrifying the pirates on the ship into a frenzy.
"Which ship is your leader on?"
Finally managing to catch someone who looked like a leader, Wang Yunxiao grabbed him and held him up. Unexpectedly, the man’s legs trembled, and brown-yellow curry goo squirted from his crotch.
How disgusting.
With a toss, Wang Yunxiao threw him aside and continued to the next ship.
By now, the pirate crew had begun to scatter like beasts fleeing. Everyone was clueless in the darkness about what happened, but now with such commotion, even fools knew they’ve encountered a tough opponent.
But it was meaningless.
The entire fleet was trapped in this bizarre ocean current, unable to escape no matter how hard they ran.
Although they couldn’t escape, the Northern Fleet’s warships could come in.
Wang Yunxiao wasn’t interested in studying the principle anymore.
Sometimes, one shouldn’t think too much; the more you ponder, the more distressed you become. Doing what you’re good at is the happiest.
The pirate leader’s ship wasn’t hard to find, the biggest and fastest vessel was the one.
When Wang Yunxiao landed on the ship, the deck was already flooded with blood.
Even in past ages, to roam the seas, one had to have some tricks up their sleeve.
This looked like the site of a bloody sacrificial ritual, though the specifics of the sacrifice were unclear.
Hmm... a Wokou Pirates fleet, hard to guess what kind of offerings they’d make.
Wang Yunxiao turned to look and saw a giant creature slowly rising from the seabed.
It was a massive sea snake over a hundred meters long.
At the moment of eye contact, the sea snake decisively launched an attack, opening its monstrous mouth to lunge at Wang Yunxiao.
Wang Yunxiao summoned his blood-red spear and thrust it straight ahead.
The spear pierced through the snake’s head and flew out from the back, causing the giant snake agony and letting out a long howl.
This guy was famously resilient, its vitality nearly matching that of a cockroach.
However, its combat power was actually just that, and even a snake spirit capable of human transformation through cultivation couldn’t escape being instantly defeated by Uesugi Risa.
Wang Yunxiao flew into the air and aimed another thrust at the snake’s head, where the spear tip landed, the entire snake head exploded, blood and flesh scattering.
Is that it then... huh?
Originally, Wang Yunxiao thought he could solve it with two strikes, but upon landing, something felt off. Even with its head blown apart, the giant snake didn’t die. Instead, it blossomed with vigorous life force, rapidly growing a new head from the neck’s severed end.
Is this an elite monster?
It’s alright, just another shot.
However, Wang Yunxiao soon realized the problem wasn’t as simple as he thought.
At the moment the giant snake’s head exploded, an eerie coldness subtly revealed itself from the ocean current beneath his feet.
That sensation felt familiar to him.
No choice, having experienced so much, everything feels familiar.
The ocean current was awakening. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
To be precise, this sea snake was the true sacrifice, and its first death awakened the great will hidden within the current.
The cold subtly permeating from the void made Wang Yunxiao sense a familiar presence.
Jormangand!
It was the very thing he witnessed eye-to-eye within the temporal tide layer, facing the annihilating phoenix transformation.
This isn’t an ocean current, it’s a snake path!
The World Serpent Jormangand’s snake path!
How did it invade the Real World? Where does this snake path ultimately lead?
Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but scratch his head.
So annoying, doesn’t want to think about these questions.
But this information must be brought back.
With a casual gunshot, he killed the resurrected sea snake again, initiating the Yuan-Qi Furnace to retreat.
Dealing with these Wokou Pirates, dug out from who knows which grave, was pointless for him, but Jormangand was a worthy opponent. Now in his own domain, if given the chance, he’d like to test the serpent.
However, before that, he must first bring back the intelligence for Wei Liuyun to report to the flagship.
Perhaps the flagship has other plans.
Although dueling 1v1 is thrilling, a righteous brawl is also good for physical and mental wellbeing.
Shooting into the air, Wang Yunxiao instinctively glanced at the sea surface, unexpectedly finding the snake path busier than he imagined.
A dozen kilometers ahead, two nearly identical Snow Wind ships were frantically racing, the torpedoes they fired failing to hit the target, just leaving snow-white wave trails on the sea surface.
Behind the pirate crew, there were also two unknown fleets, their era and faction characteristics indistinguishable, mutually engaging intensely.
This snake path traverses countless space-time fragments, nobody knows where it comes from or leads to.
Returning to the Xuyang cruiser, Wang Yunxiao reported the information he observed to Wei Liuyun.
"Jormangand... so this temporal tide disturbance was caused by it?"
Wei Liuyun’s expression looked grim. If it weren’t for this meddling bastard, he should be lying in his dorm at school sleeping by now.
And annihilation...
Wang Yunxiao silently added in his heart.
But no choice, you ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Soon after reporting the information regarding Jormangand to the flagship, they received a response from the flagship.
"Continue tracking Jormangand’s path and await other fleet units to converge."
As the flagship’s orders were issued, all branch fleets cruising in the eastern seas of Ming Country simultaneously adjusted their course.
On the far horizon, the distinctly visible silvery flame pillar also began to slowly move.
Wang Yunxiao couldn’t resist asking, "Against such High-dimensional Beings, even if we trace its path, how can we effectively harm it?"
Wei Liuyun didn’t answer; after a moment of silence, he countered, "Do you know what the Star Disc is?"
"You mean the stars and compass, right?"
"Yes, exactly that."
Wei Liuyun nodded, "Years ago, during our battle at sea with France, we activated the compass once. As long as the compass anchors space-time, it can banish these High-dimensional Beings from the Real World."
