Chapter 1355: Feeling Something Is Wrong

"Do you feel that something is not right here?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. The further he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, though he could not put his finger on exactly what it was for the moment.

It felt as if the entire stretch of sea before his eyes was a dead sea; everything here was not quite normal.

Especially beneath the surface of the sea, it was as if a deep-sea behemoth were hiding, making everyone feel terrified.

"I feel it too; this place before us is filled with abnormalities everywhere," Liu Ruxi also nodded slightly.

She felt it—the place before them was not normal, and the further they went, the more it exuded a hint of eeriness, but she could not say exactly what the situation was for the moment.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Liu, no one from our side has ever come to this sea area before," Zhang Dezhong interjected.

"You believe this is where the Sea God lives, and you are filled with awe for this place, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right, the people here have always believed that this place is where the Sea God lives," Zhang Dezhong nodded slightly and said.

"The people in our village all live off the sea," Zhang Dezhong laughed, "so we are very devout toward the Sea God."

"Then have you encountered any relevant situations before?" Chen Yu asked.

"I have, but no one talks about it," Zhang Dezhong sighed and said, "because everyone believes that if certain things are spoken of, it is an act of disrespect toward the Sea God."

"Then Brother Zhang, what specific situations have you encountered? Can you tell me about your experience in detail?" Liu Ruxi said.

"It happened a long time ago. Once, when I went out to sea, it was right in this sea area. I was already an experienced fisherman, and I was very familiar with the conditions on the sea surface."

Zhang Dezhong said, "But in this sea area before us, I steered the boat around for a long time, but I could never find a way out."

"Later, a storm blew both me and the boat out of that sea area. It was only after I got out that I realized I had been wandering around here for several days."

"And according to the people who went to the seaside to look for me, it was as if I had suddenly appeared. They had organized people to search for me for a long time without a trace, and in the end, I came out on my own."

"You wandered there for days and nights?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned, "But you felt it hadn't been that long?"

"Yes, from my own perspective, I had only spent a few hours there; it was nowhere near that long."

"But looking back now, it really is quite terrifying. To be able to save my life in a sea area where no one ever goes is a miracle. If it weren't for the Sea God's protection, heaven knows what would have happened?"

Chen Yu smiled and said nothing more. Although Zhang Dezhong's words sounded reasonable, he did not believe this was any protection from the Sea God.

People are bound to be mentally tense when they are nervous; perhaps he really did spend days and nights there, or perhaps the place he was in had a chaotic magnetic field.

It was just that he himself did not notice it, or perhaps he was in another dimension or space. There were simply too many ways to explain the problem; to forcibly attribute his encounter to the Sea God like this was a bit unreasonable.

However, people who live by the sea and go out to sea frequently must have some faith in their hearts, so Chen Yu did not say anything more.

The boat continued to move forward; the sea area before them was deeper in color, almost turning into a dark green.

Then, a hint of mystery permeated beneath the seawater, making one feel awe-struck at the sight.

Just at this moment, the compass in Chen Yu's hand vibrated slightly, and immediately after, everything before them changed.

They saw several small islands connected together appearing before them, and according to the compass, the person Chen Yu was looking for was very likely here.

"This is the place." Chen Yu's expression tightened slightly, then he said, "Let's dock."

"Very well, Mr. Chen." Zhang Dezhong nodded slightly and steered the boat to the shore, then he said, "Shall we wait for you here? We can go back together after you finish your business."

"Brother Zhang, you should just head back. Our business might take several days," Chen Yu turned his head and smiled slightly, "I have a satellite phone here; I will notify you when it's time to come pick us up."

"That doesn't seem right, who knows if there will be any danger here?" Zhang Dezhong was slightly stunned and said.

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing," Chen Yu said, "You go back first; these matters of ours might be a bit troublesome to handle."

"Alright then, we will head back first," Zhang Dezhong nodded slightly and said, "If there is any situation, contact us directly, and I will bring the people from the village to find you."

"Good." Chen Yu nodded, then he and Liu Ruxi got off the boat.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, aren't you bringing some water and food?" Zhang Dezhong was startled. If they were going to stay here for days and nights, how could they manage without bringing some food?

"No need, we have brought some," Chen Yu said, "Don't worry, I still have these basic wilderness survival skills."

"That's good, Mr. Chen, take care on your way." Zhang Dezhong finally felt relieved.

Not until he saw Chen Yu and Liu Ruxi leave did Zhang Dezhong steer the boat away.

"Dad, what are they here for?" Zhang Dezhong's son asked in confusion.

He was taciturn and had hardly said a word along the way, contrasting with his father's personality.

His father was more talkative and had hardly stopped speaking the whole way, but he was different.

"I don't know." Zhang Dezhong looked at the direction they left with a complex expression, "I don't think they are ordinary people either; perhaps they have some difficult matters to handle here."

"Of course he isn't an ordinary person, otherwise it would have been impossible to heal your leg so quickly," Zhang Dezhong's son said, "But this place is where the Sea God lives, and this sea area... is called the Endless Realm."

"For ordinary people to come here and want to return normally, it is almost impossible."

"Don't say such things, it's unlucky." Zhang Dezhong glared at him and said, "Actually, things here are just spread by word of mouth; it's not that terrifying."

"Before, there were people who came here for travel and exploration, didn't they return just fine? Remember, the Sea God is just our faith."

"But when faith conflicts with our lives, we still have to prioritize living," Zhang Dezhong said.

The son was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I understand."

"Alright, let's head back first." Zhang Dezhong said, steering the oil tanker and driving all the way back.
