Chapter 615 Whirlpool and the Mysterious Old Man
Relying on the navigation map, Chen Qingyun traveled carefully on the sea.
Compared with following the five major sects to the Sea of Thousand Monsters a few years ago, if he encountered a fourth-level monster attack this time, he could only rely on himself to solve it.
Along the way, even if he tried to hide as much as possible and moved forward at full speed, he would still be attacked by some monsters.
These monsters were at the first and second levels and were easily cleared.
The third-level monster cultivators had not appeared for the time being and would try to avoid them.
The sea was boundless, and the blue sea was in sight. The sea and the sky were the same color, and there were almost no islands.
All the islands on the sea were basically occupied by immortal cultivators or demon cultivators.
If you rest on those islands at will, you will be regarded as an uninvited guest. You can imagine the consequences.
If a cultivator cannot find an island to rest on when flying here for a long time, he is likely to run out of mana and fall into the sea and die.
Traveling on a spirit ship has become the most convenient and mana-saving way.
When approaching Egret Island, about 600,000 to 700,000 miles away, there was a gust of wind and clouds in the distance, with lightning and thunder.
The originally calm sea surface had begun to surge violently at some point, spinning at high speed, and a huge vortex appeared out of thin air.
The range of this vortex reached more than a thousand miles in radius.
And it was still expanding, dragging the surrounding seawater and monsters into it, like a huge black hole.
Looking down from the air, the entrance to the center of the vortex was pitch black, leading directly to the deep and dark seabed.
The sound of huge waves hitting and the sound of water colliding and rolling was endless.
The air was windy, and the huge suction force generated by the vortex was so strong that even the seagulls hundreds of meters away could not escape.
The seagulls flapped their wings and were sucked into the vortex black hole in their panic and turned into blood mist.
"Whirlpool!"
Chen Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly.
The three major natural disasters in the star sea, sky wind, whirlpool and ghost fog, the first one has been experienced personally.
Bi Ling can also cast a small sky wind.
Whirlpool and ghost fog are still only heard of, but the first time I set foot in the sea of ten thousand monsters alone, I actually encountered the legendary whirlpool.
This whirlpool is so powerful that it affects the two forces of wind and water, and the sea water stirred by the world is reversed, turning the world upside down.
Even if you look at it from a distance, thousands of meters away, you can only feel that there is still a suction force coming, which wants to pull people, even their souls, into it and crush them.
The terrible thing about the whirlpool is that it will sweep a very large range and continue to expand the sweeping area.
Once a monk is sucked in, he can't escape by flying with magic power alone, and can only watch himself being sucked in.
Once you are deeply trapped in it, you will instantly turn into a ball of blood mist and merge into the sea, becoming the insignificant fine dust.
The whirlpool was the only way to go. Chen Qingyun did not dare to take risks and had to retreat, leaving a safe distance of more than 5,000 meters.
Even so, he still felt that he was being pulled forward, and even his magic power was being sucked out. This residual power was really terrible.
If he had not retreated in time when the whirlpool expanded, if he had stayed in place without evacuating, the consequences could be imagined.
Aw——
A beast roar that shook the sky and was mixed with strong fear sounded.
As far as the eye could see, the habitat of a huge sea squid was swept by the whirlpool, and the fish in the pond were affected in an instant.
This sea squid has reached the third-level extreme, only one step away from the fourth-level demon cultivator level. It is more than 200 meters long and has a pair of eyes as big as windows.
Facing the whirlpool, it instinctively felt the crisis coming, roared in fear, and fled madly to the deep sea outside, swimming in the sea. A huge shadow.
But even so, it only struggled to swim a few dozen meters, and the next second it was restrained by the huge death suction force, and then pulled to the center of the vortex.
Chen Qingyun only heard a roar of fear that resounded through the world.
Then the flesh and blood exploded, mixed with the sound of surging sea water.
The whole vortex was like a huge meat grinder, tearing the giant squid into pieces, and the blood dyed the sea red, and then returned to turbidity in the blink of an eye.
It tore the third-level monster apart in a few breaths. Chen Qingyun was shocked by such terrible power.
If this vortex continues to spread, it will obviously not be a problem to tear it apart and swallow an island.
There are few islands in this sea area. It is difficult to see one after sailing for ten days and half a month. Some are just a few small islands, not as big as Zhenhai Island.
Could it be that the vortex made it like this?
Chen Qingyun had this idea.
This is just a guess.
There is a whirlpool blocking the way here, so it is not good to rush in arrogantly.
Chen Qingyun can only take a long detour, and it is estimated that it will take five or six more days to cross this whirlpool sea area.
Circumventing this thrilling whirlpool disaster, Chen Qingyun was cautious and did not dare to be careless.
On this day, the whirlpool continued, and the scope of the sweep was gradually expanding, spreading to a small deserted island nearby.
When Chen Qingyun was paying attention, he glimpsed from a distance on a mountain peak of the small deserted island around the whirlpool.
There was an old man in plain clothes standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the huge whirlpool in the sea, his robe fluttering in the wind.
Judging from his age, the old man was at least over a hundred years old, and did not show any immortal style, or elegant and easy-going air.
At first glance, he looked ordinary, just like an ordinary old man in a cloth-clothed dress in the market.
However, he could not be a mortal to be able to appear here and face the vortex at such a close distance without being affected at all.
Sensing Chen Qingyun's gaze, the old man in cloth-clothed clothes slowly moved his eyes and glanced at Chen Qingyun with a calm expression.
Even though they were far apart, at least five or six kilometers away.
But it was this ordinary look that immediately made Chen Qingyun feel horrified.
"What's going on?"
Chen Qingyun was also shocked by his own reaction.
Because the first impression the old man in cloth-clothed clothes gave him, his body's subconscious told him that the other party's cultivation realm far exceeded his.
Chen Qingyun couldn't describe how profound it was.
But it definitely surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage!
This person is an almighty being!
Biting his tongue and forcing himself to calm his thoughts, Chen Qingyun didn't dare to look at him again. He saw the other person flying away from the corner of his eye, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
For the old man in plain clothes, Chen Qingyun was no different from the stones, flowers and plants on the land.
It was so ordinary that he just took a look and ignored it.
"An overseas cultivator?"
