Chapter 144

the reason he dared to sit on the Little Cyan Dragon's head like this,

heading to Fish-Man Island 10,000 meters under the sea,

was precisely because he had one of the rewards obtained from checking in at the Sabaody Archipelago—the Water-Avoiding Pearl!

When Li Xiao checked in at the Sabaody Archipelago,

he obtained a total of three rewards,

and the Water-Avoiding Pearl was one of them!

The Water-Avoiding Pearl cannot be considered a magic treasure;

it is a natural, special treasure!

As the name implies,

as long as one holds the Water-Avoiding Pearl,

one can breathe freely underwater!

And if spiritual power is injected into it,

the Water-Avoiding Pearl can also support a layer of translucent membrane around the user,

which acts to isolate seawater,

thereby allowing the user to ignore water pressure,

and survive even at a depth of 10,000 meters under the sea,

or even move freely!

Although the Water-Avoiding Pearl has the magical ability to avoid water,

because it doesn't improve combat power,

it is basically useless in daily life!

Therefore,

after obtaining it, Li Xiao had casually tossed it into his Sumeru Ring,

and it wasn't until he returned to the Sabaody Archipelago a few days ago

and intended to head to Fish-Man Island

that Li Xiao finally remembered it!

It was precisely because he had the Water-Avoiding Pearl on him,

plus the existence of the Little Cyan Dragon,

that Li Xiao gave up the idea of taking a ship!

After all,

Li Xiao had come all the way by riding the clouds and mist,

and didn't have a ship at all!

If he wanted to take a ship to Fish-Man Island,

he would not only have to find a ship,

but also spend several days coating the ship,

which was a bit troublesome!

By comparison,

Li Xiao simply holding the Water-Avoiding Pearl

and letting the Little Cyan Dragon take him to Fish-Man Island

was not only convenient but also quite fast;

the Little Cyan Dragon's speed in the sea was faster than ordinary ships by who knows how much!

As for the route to Fish-Man Island,

Li Xiao had already taken the time to learn about it briefly!

And the Little Cyan Dragon, as a flood dragon,

can communicate with undersea creatures!

Although Li Xiao likely wouldn't find the specific route,

it didn't matter;

at worst, he could just find the indigenous people of the seabed and ask for directions!

As for those Sea Kings that wouldn't cooperate,

they could all honestly go into the Little Cyan Dragon's stomach!

…………

As the Little Cyan Dragon continued to dive,

Li Xiao soon arrived several thousand meters deep into the seabed!

Logically speaking,

because sunlight cannot penetrate such deep seawater,

the deep seabed should be pitch black!

However,

the facts were not so;

even at a depth of several thousand meters,

there was still miraculously light!

Although this light wasn't very bright,

it was enough for Li Xiao to see everything around him with the naked eye

without using his spiritual sense,

and the visible range was quite far!

Li Xiao sat on the Little Cyan Dragon's head,

looking around,

quite leisurely admiring the unique scenery of the deep seabed thousands of meters down!

The entire seabed presented a shade of azure,

with various kinds of undersea creatures swimming past in schools from time to time,

and in the distance, one could see the roots of the Yarukiman Mangroves extending deep into the seabed,

the whole scene filled with dreamlike colors!

Besides various small undersea creatures,

under this deep sea of several thousand meters,

there were also quite a few massive Sea Kings,

and if you picked one out at random,

it would be several times the size of a normal pirate ship!

Since ordinary small undersea creatures often haven't developed consciousness,

and only act on instinct,

these giant Sea Kings living on the seabed

were the targets for Li Xiao to ask for directions!

In Li Xiao's view,

since the Little Cyan Dragon could communicate with Sea Kings,

he could just ask as he went along and arrive at Fish-Man Island smoothly!

However,

the fantasy is beautiful,

but reality is cruel!

When Li Xiao truly began to implement his plan to ask for directions,

Reality is cruel!

When Li Xiao truly began to implement his plan for asking directions,

he discovered

that there seemed to be a tiny little problem!

Although there was no shortage of Sea Kings in the deep sea,

because of the faint dragon might on the Little Cyan Dragon,

Sea Kings often didn't dare to approach easily!

Once they entered a certain range

and sensed the Little Cyan Dragon's dragon might,

these Sea Kings would subconsciously avoid this person and dragon!

If it were any other time,

Li Xiao would naturally be happy for this,

saving him the trouble!

But the key was,

he needed to find these Sea Kings to ask for directions now!

With the Little Cyan Dragon's dragon might present,

these Sea Kings wouldn't approach at all,

so how the hell was he supposed to ask for directions!

More importantly,

because the Little Cyan Dragon had only recently transformed into a flood dragon,

its cultivation base wasn't high yet,

and it couldn't control its dragon might freely;

this faint dragon might was already its state of maximum restraint!

If it were humans or some beasts,

they wouldn't have much of a reaction to this faint dragon might!

But flood dragons are creatures of the water,

and these giant Sea Kings are extremely sensitive to the Little Cyan Dragon's dragon might;

even if they only sensed a little bit,

their innate instincts would compel them to avoid the source of the dragon might!

And once the Little Cyan Dragon actively approached these Sea Kings,

they would run faster than anyone,

scurrying everywhere from far away!

That speed,

was like they had propellers installed on their tails!

And so,

the Little Cyan Dragon, which only wanted to simply ask for directions,

turned into a crazy chase after various Sea Kings!

Although Li Xiao couldn't understand the Little Cyan Dragon's words,

given the current situation,

he could already imagine the dialogue process between the two!

Little Cyan Dragon: Don't run, I'm just asking for directions, I'm not going to eat you!

Sea King: I believe you, you old geezer, you're very bad!

Little Cyan Dragon: Why are you running! I really just want to ask for directions!

Sea King: You're chasing me, that's why I have to run!

Little Cyan Dragon: You're running, that's why I have to chase!

Sea King: You're chasing me, that's why I have to run!

Little Cyan Dragon: …………

Little Cyan Dragon: Damn it, I'm going to eat you right now!

…………

Regardless,

these Sea Kings were clearly no match for the Little Cyan Dragon,

and after being forcibly caught and given a sound beating by the Little Cyan Dragon,

one by one, they all honestly pointed out the way!

As for those who still didn't recognize the situation after being beaten up,

and only knew how to struggle desperately,

they all, as Li Xiao had said before,

ended up in the Little Cyan Dragon's stomach!

Just like that,

catching a few Sea Kings to ask for directions every so often,

the person and dragon finally continued to head in the direction of Fish-Man Island!
