The original repairer

Chapter 310 Exploring the Floating City

Its huge body was shaking violently due to the severe pain. It glared at Shi Chen angrily, its eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.

Shi Chen extended his right hand with a sword finger again. Seeing this, the trembling body of the mermaid suddenly stopped, and then immediately dived into the Xiyuan Sea and hid towards the bottom of the sea.

"Human race, you deserve to die! You hurt me today, I will repay you tomorrow!" The roar filled the world, and the voice contained endless anger and resentment.

The sound echoed on the sea for a long time, as if it were a terrible curse.

Shi Chen remained suspended in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the surface of the sea where the monster had vanished. It already bore a grudge against him and would surely seek revenge someday. If time wasn't urgent, he would have plunged into the sea to track the monster down and slay it.

On a flying boat not far away, Da Zhuang, Lu Chuan and Yan Kuan witnessed this thrilling battle.

The three of them had expressions of shock on their faces. They had originally thought that Shi Chen would be easily defeated by the sea monster, but they had not expected that Shi Chen actually possessed such powerful strength that he not only withstood the sea monster's attack, but also successfully cut off two of its tentacles.

Da Zhuang swallowed and said, "Brother Shi Chen's strength is truly unfathomable. We tried to plot against him before, but we were really overestimating our own abilities."

Lu Chuan also nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately he didn't care about our behavior, otherwise we would be in trouble. Let's go back and take him with us to find the floating city."

Yan Kuan also agreed: "That's right, we will go back to find him now. I hope he can still put aside the past grudges and come with us." After that, Dazhuang drove the flying boat towards the direction where Shi Chen was.

As the flying boat approached Shi Chen, Da Zhuang bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi Chen, it was thanks to you that we were able to escape just now. We were sorry for what we did to you earlier, and we hope you can forgive our recklessness and selfishness. Now, we would like to invite you to continue to search for the floating city with us. What do you think?"

Shi Chen looked at them, frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment.

He still harbored resentment towards their previous actions, but considering his deep desire for clues to the floating city, and the fact that more people would help them find it faster, he slowly said, "Since you still remembered to come back for me, I can continue to accompany you. I hope you can find the floating city as soon as possible."

Da Zhuang, Lu Chuan and Yan Kuan quickly nodded in agreement.

Shi Chen then boarded the flying boat, and everyone continued to move towards the area where the floating city was predicted to appear.

On the flying boat, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Da Zhuang scratched his head, trying to break the deadlock: "Brother Shi Chen, that Gold Element technique you just used was truly powerful. We've never seen such a powerful spell before. Where did you learn it from?"

"You figured it out yourself. Your cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage, and you can't control such magic." Shi Chen said calmly with his eyes closed.

After hearing Shi Chen's words, several people felt a little dissatisfied. Da Zhuang muttered, "Looking at your vague cultivation level, it seems that you are only in the late Jindan stage, not much stronger than us. How can you control it..."

Yan Kuan quickly pulled Da Zhuang away, interrupting his mumbling, and respectfully bowed to Shi Chen, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shi, please don't blame Da Zhuang. He's a bit of a fool."

Shi Chen opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Da Zhuang who was being pulled away by Yan Kuan, then looked at Yan Kuan who was showing respect, and said calmly: "It's alright, I'm just telling the truth. This Gold Element method requires extremely high control of spiritual power. Your spiritual power foundation and understanding of spiritual power are not yet sufficient. You may have just touched the realm. If you have understood 50% of the realm, combined with the spell, you can have 10% to 20% of the power of the spell just now."

Lu Chuan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Friend Shi is right. We still need to practice more. I wonder if Friend Shi has any new ideas about this floating city? We are not far from the area we predicted earlier."

"I'm not familiar with this place. It's up to you to figure out how to find the floating city." Shi Chen said softly, looking at the sea ahead.

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "We've heard that every time a floating city appears, it's accompanied by special fluctuations in spiritual energy and changes in the sky. We should pay attention to the surrounding spiritual fluctuations and changes in the sky. If we find anything unusual, we might be able to find traces of the floating city."

Yan Kuan nodded in agreement. "Lu Chuan's words make sense. We can also spread out and expand the search area, but we shouldn't stray too far from the flying boat, lest we run into danger and lose our ability to look after each other."

Shi Chen nodded slightly: "Okay, but everyone should keep in touch at all times. If you find anything, notify others immediately."

So everyone started to act according to the plan.

Dazhuang was responsible for controlling the flying boat, flying slowly over the sea. Lu Chuan, Yan Kuan and Shi Chen stood in different directions of the flying boat, releasing their spiritual sense to carefully detect the fluctuations of spiritual power and changes in the sky around them.

Time passed slowly, and everyone searched for traces of the floating city in a tense atmosphere.

Three days later, Lu Chuan suddenly shouted, "Look, there seems to be something wrong in the sky over there!"

Everyone followed the direction Lu Chuan pointed with their spiritual sense. Twenty miles away, a faint colorful halo appeared in the sky. The halo seemed to be made up of countless tiny spiritual rays, and was slowly rotating.

Yan Kuan's eyes lit up: "Could this be a sign of the appearance of the floating city?"

Shi Chen stared at the halo and said, "It's possible. Let's move closer in that direction and see what's going on."

Dazhuang immediately drove the flying boat towards the direction of the colorful halo. As the flying boat approached, everyone noticed that the halo was getting brighter and brighter, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around it were becoming more and more intense.

When the flying boat was still some distance away from the halo, Shi Chen suddenly said, "Stop! Don't get any closer. The spiritual energy fluctuations here are too strong and a bit chaotic. It might be dangerous."

Dazhuang hurriedly stopped the flying boat, and everyone looked at the halo in front of them nervously.

Everyone used their spiritual senses to sense and investigate carefully.

Three quarters of an hour passed, and Shi Chen withdrew his consciousness and said, "Let's go somewhere else. This is not the place we are looking for."

"This?" Lu Chuan looked at Shi Chen in confusion, frowned, and said, "Did Fellow Daoist Shi see something?"

Shi Chen looked at the halo in front of him and said slowly, "This is just a complex large formation. The concealment array pattern has been destroyed at several nodes, which is why such a strange phenomenon has occurred. After a while, it will completely lose its concealment function. This is not the floating city we are looking for."

When the three heard that Shi Chen knew what was inside the formation, their eyes lit up and they all looked at Shi Chen.

Lu Chuan was the first to speak and asked, "Friend Shi, you are truly amazing to be able to see through the situation within this formation. Why don't we go in and search first, and then look for the floating city."

Shi Chen shook his head slightly, turned around and looked at the three people and said, "There's nothing I need here. I don't want to waste time here and maybe miss the opportunity to go to the floating city."
