Chapter 663
Wu Qingcheng and the others, after breaking through, also came out of the Xuan Kong Shi to get some fresh air.
Du Yan immediately came up with a way to watch Ye Liuyun, directly telling the women around Ye Liuyun about his plan to adventure.
He also exaggeratedly described the terrors of the Food Star Beast.
Upon learning that Ye Liuyun wanted to try an adventure to seize resources for them, these people couldn't help but feel even more guilty.
Especially Su Miaoyin, she felt even more that she was dragging Ye Liuyun down.
"No, you can't go. If something really happens to you, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Wu Qingcheng also advised, "Yeah, Liuyun. Our cultivation levels aren't low either. Let's think of a way together for the resources. Find a safe opportunity, we'll all act together!"
"If you go on an adventure for us and something happens, how could we all be at peace?"
"Little brother, you must take me on the adventure, I'm your lucky charm!" Lei Ming didn't mind adventuring; she just worried Ye Liuyun wouldn't bring her.
"I'll go with you too!" Long Nv's words were simple but firm.
Ye Liuyun was also deeply moved by their feelings.
But he still explained to them, "Don't listen to Du Yan's nonsense, it's not that scary. Besides, I won't act blindly. You still don't understand me!"
These days, Ye Liuyun took advantage of the warship's slow speed in the Fog Sea, constantly tracking and searching, and has already found a group of Food Star Beasts.
In there alone, there are over two hundred Venerable-rank Food Star Beasts. This number is already quite terrifying.
He also didn't act rashly, but instead observed the living habits of the Food Star Beasts.
At first, the Venerable Food Star Beasts that noticed him would drive him away.
But he drew a little closer each day, not rushing or panicking, gradually, and that herd of Food Star Beasts also became accustomed.
Now, as long as he doesn't get too close, those Food Star Beasts are too lazy to bother him.
After all, to those colossal beasts, Ye Liuyun is just an ant in their eyes; a Venerable casually roaring can shake him to the point of losing his soul and spirit.
"Little brother, what have you discovered these days? Tell us, and we'll help you analyze." Lei Ming suggested.
After all, they are all fierce beasts, perhaps they can help summarize some patterns.
Ye Liuyun thought it was not bad, so he told them and also outlined his rough plan.
Long Nv analyzed, "For herd-dwelling fierce beasts, once one is injured or about to die, it usually voluntarily leaves the group. Its main purpose is to avoid infecting other kin."
"'So saying, I don't need to use Divine Sense to control it to leave?' Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up upon hearing that; that would save a lot of trouble."
Long Nv nodded, but still said, "Our jiao kind are like that. I know other sea tribes are also the same!"
Bai Hu also added, "Many beast herds on land are the same too; they fear infecting their own kind and isolate themselves to die alone."
Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun felt even more delighted, bringing his plan success a step closer.
"'But what if it isn't? By then, inside the Food Star Beast's body, you won't be able to run out!' Su Miaoyin said worriedly."
Shi Yuan also interjected, "Some species also eat the corpses of their own kind."
"'Yeah, that's really dangerous! After all, the Food Star Beast can devour anything; it might even eat its own kind!' Wu Qingcheng also began to worry."
Ye Liuyun, however, laughed, "If they really eat their own kind's corpses, that would be even better. I can hide in the Mourning Bell and take them out one by one."
"'What if they don't eat their own kind's corpses?' Su Miaoyin stubbornly asked."
"'Just run! Hide in the void, cover yourself with the Mourning Bell and run.' This tactic was also something Ye Liuyun had considered before."
Another method is for him to wear the Hunting Demon Armor and clash head-on with the Food Star Beast using the Hunting Demon Bow. But he didn't mention this, fearing they'd worry.
"'No way, if you can't escape then, you'll be trapped to death!' Su Miaoyin was the first to object."
Wu Qingcheng also thought it wasn't appropriate and didn't advise him to go adventuring.
"'Don't worry, I won't go on an adventure before there's a proper plan!'"
Ye Liuyun, to comfort them, had to tell a kind lie. In fact, he had already prepared to act.
The voyage is already more than halfway done; even if he were to run away, his hope would be greater.
Further on, Food Star Beasts grow few and far between—maybe there won't be another chance.
Seeing he wasn't insisting anymore, everyone relaxed and returned to their cultivation.
That night, Ye Liuyun sought out Du Yan and spoke with him alone.
"Seek wealth in danger"—you should understand that principle! I am quite confident I can succeed; you must let me try. With these resources, our voyage will be much more secure.
After hearing Ye Liuyun's plan, Du Yan shook his head over and over.
"With so many steps, if any one goes wrong, you won't be able to return!"
Ye Liuyun remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on Du Yan, and said firmly: "If I don't make it back, just turn around and send them all back to Cangyun Continent; Overthrow City has enough resources for us to return."
"Are you sure you want to take this risk?" Du Yan, seeing his determination, didn't press further.
"Certain. This risk must be taken! Otherwise we'll surely never reach Zhongyang Dalu."
After these days of consumption, Ye Liuyun realized he had underestimated the voyage's consumption all along.
If consumption continues at this rate, even without accidents and without buying a new ship, his supplies would last only two years!
Of course, there are also chances to gain resources along the way, but they all rely on luck, and we don't know if we'll encounter any.
If we encounter them, and they are as strong as Food Star Beasts, we'd still be helpless.
So Ye Liuyun doesn't want to stake his entire journey on luck.
"Alright! After you leave, we'll stop and wait for you—I'll give you a location." As he spoke, Du Yan picked a suitable spot and sent the information to Ye Liuyun.
"You can go out of the Fog Sea first and wait for me," Ye Liuyun suggested.
Once out of the Fog Sea, the warship needn't keep its shield up, saving a lot of energy.
"No!" Du Yan immediately refused.
"Once out of the Fog Sea, we'll be able to see each other. We'll run into bandits and passing merchant ships, making us more vulnerable."
Compared to that, the Fog Sea is far safer! We'll stop the ship and wait for you, lowering the defense shield, which won't consume many Spirit Stones.
"Don't worry, Aizi will help disguise the warship, so no one will notice!"
"Alright then!" Ye Liuyun still had great faith in Du Yan's experience.
