How did we do it... Qu Jianlei touched his forehead and coughed lightly, "Is this not important?"
"Of course it is important," Duan Bowen answered without hesitation, and then he was petrified again.
After about ten seconds, he endured the aura of the Great Master of Out-of-Body State, squatted down and looked at the toe carefully.
After a long while, he sighed softly, "So... you really did kill a great one!"
This time, he used an affirmative tone, because...that toe was not cut off from a living person.
There is no need to explain in detail the specific process of the judgment. The little toe that has been drained of blood is definitely different from the one cut off from the corpse.
However, Immortal Bo Wen has lived for hundreds of years, so he still has some common sense.
"This..." Qu Jianlei couldn't deny it either. He wasn't sure how the other party judged it.
So he could only vaguely say, "Maybe a remnant soul escaped."
"The remaining soul escaped?" Immortal Bowen stood up and looked at him speechlessly, "Master Qu Ling, you seem to be very regretful?"
If the other party could completely wipe out even the remaining soul of the Great Venerable, he felt that he could just kneel down.
"Is this not important?" Qu Jianlei pointed to the front of the warship, "Sea beasts... We need to observe the sea beasts!"
"Do we still need to observe this?" Duan Bowen muttered softly, "The momentum... is just right."
He had run this route too many times, and he also knew other smuggling forces, so he was very familiar with the habits of sea beasts.
Before, he was not sure what kind of items Lord Qu Ling could take out, and later he was not sure about the strength of the out-of-body aura.
Only after he experiences it personally can he basically make the corresponding judgment.
If the out-of-body aura is too strong, it can easily cause chaos. The confused sea beasts may engage in a violent fight, and there is also a very small chance of a counterattack.
If the aura is too weak, it will not have much deterrent effect, and perhaps some bolder sea beasts may think it is an opportunity.
The current situation is just right, at least within the effective range that Duan Bowen believes.
After observing for two hours, he even began to speed up the warship.
Before that, the spiritual consciousness of the three people was also released.
With the cover of the out-of-body aura, if one's spiritual awareness is strong, he will not be discovered at all.
At least within the three people's perception range, they could find that many sea beasts were fleeing frantically to avoid them.
These sea beasts that fled in a hurry were mostly at the foundation-building level, with some also at the golden elixir level.
As for those below the foundation building stage, they turned over on their stomachs directly. Many foundation building sea beasts could not bear it and fainted.
The three people's perception ability at sea is slightly weaker than on land, after all, sea beasts are in the water.
Moreover, they did not dare to use their spiritual sense too recklessly.
But even so, the general situation can be felt within a distance of three to four thousand kilometers.
The sea beasts in the distance were in panic, but the road nearby was smooth without any obstacles.
"That's good," Duan Bowen finally recovered from his shock, "If we continue like this, we'll arrive in another month and a half."
Taking into account the more than one month that has already been spent, this trip can be controlled within about three months, which is already the best result.
But Qu Jianlei gave him a strange look, "One... half a month?"
"You mean..." Duan Bowen was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "My attendant? This is easy to handle!"
He planned to have the other party collect the tiger man's little toe after a day, release the tribesmen to rest for half a day, and then continue to put them into the spirit beast bag.
During this half day, the warship can slow down appropriately, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Then repeat this process and you will reach Zhongzhou in less than two months.
Life in the spirit beast bag must be difficult, but it can save a lot of time on the journey, and I believe the tribesmen can still accept it.
At worst, just think of it as sleeping a little more and being awake a little less.
"I see..." Qu Jianlei said after a moment's hesitation, "I suggest a different way of traveling. Would you consider it, fellow Daoist?"
"Let's try another way." Duan Bowen thought for only two or three breaths, then nodded decisively, "I'd like to hear more details!"
If it weren't for what happened just now, Qu Jianlei's suggestion would probably have led him to a different interpretation.
But what the other party took out was so shocking, and the effect was so great, that he really would not make random associations anymore.
In fact, his heart was full of anticipation: What other good things can you come up with?
Qu Jianlei pointed at his feet again and asked, "Can this warship be put away?"
"No problem!" Duan Bowen said without hesitation, "But we have to get out first."
The gale in the deep sea is still quite strong, not only violent but also extremely corrosive.
Even for a foundation-building cultivator, it is impossible to stay outside for long.
But it doesn’t matter for three Nascent Souls. If it doesn’t consume too much spiritual energy, the Nascent Souls can even cross the sea in their physical bodies.
Of course, if you encounter other bad weather, it won’t be very safe, not to mention the dangerous sea beasts.
When Duan Bowen put away the warship, Qu Jianlei turned his wrist and took out a ruler.
"Is it this...fellow Taoist?" Duan Bowen was a little surprised.
He had also heard of the legend about the Nascent Soul Spirit. After all, Hongye Ridge was the force that had caused him failure, so it was impossible for him not to pay attention to it.
The news that Xi Zhao was able to break through the siege of the demons and pass information to the trapped team of cultivators also became a hot topic.
Immediately afterwards, Immortal Bowen nodded thoughtfully, "Does Fellow Daoist Qu want to use this fellow Daoist's ability to travel?"
"It travels very fast," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "and I happen to have some means of concealing my presence."
Bo Wen Zhenxian nodded again, "With the Great Venerable's aura covering it, the sea beasts won't be easy to detect?"
"That's right," Qu Jianlei also nodded, "If it weren't for the aura of the Great Venerable, I wouldn't dare to take such a risk."
Cooperating with Xizhao to cross the ocean was not originally in his plan. He just wanted to gain experience for this smuggling.
However, during this one month journey, he basically got a grasp of the situation of the sea beasts.
Moreover, the flesh and blood of the Tiger Man Lord has already been taken out. In order to make better use of the flesh and blood, it doesn't hurt to reveal a few more cards.
Anyway, it’s no secret that Sunset has a strong ability to penetrate the air.
Duan Bowen was only slightly startled, and then simply said, "Then I'm really looking forward to it!"
So Qu Jianlei held a ruler in one hand and the flesh and blood of the Tiger Man in the other, standing at a height of 500 meters above the sea level.
The closer to the sky, the stronger the gale will be. Although it cannot cause effective damage to the Nascent Soul, the spiritual energy consumed will increase dramatically.
However, Qu Jianlei is not trying to endure this without any effort. Once the altitude is lowered, the degree of danger will increase greatly.
The huge waves stirred up by strong winds can reach three or four hundred meters high, not to mention that there may be sea beasts under the water.
Even the warships were flying above 500 meters. Qu Jianlei felt that there was no need for him to take risks.
When Qing Hu and Duan Bowen grabbed his shoulders on the left and right, he said, "Hold on firmly."
The two of them gave him a divine sense at the same time, indicating that they were not lacking in this ability.
So Qu Jianlei began to speed up and soon surpassed the speed of the previous warship.
In order to quickly shuttle through the violent gale, Duan Bowen had to increase the spiritual energy that protected his body.
But he did not complain, instead he was a little curious: Can the other party speed up?
The little pressure he endured was really nothing. On the contrary, the spirit of the weapon that led the people through the journey had to expend much more spiritual energy than the three of them.
Bo Wen Zhenxian was really curious: What was the opponent's upper limit?
Then, the ruler continued to speed up, kept speeding up, and kept speeding up...
No matter how much faster the ruler is, the speed at which the out-of-body aura is released must still be faster.
In fact, Qu Jianlei's stealth level has also improved a lot. Although Xizhao moves very fast, he can't leave any trace at all.
But at the same time, a slight but powerful aura was also passing through the space they were passing through.
Many sea beasts had no idea what was happening and could only feel an inexplicable sense of terror passing through the air.
But Duan Bowen, who was on the ride, knew very well what was happening. Feeling the speed getting increasingly crazy, he was completely speechless.
Until a certain moment, he sent out a message, "It's off course, it's off course, adjust the direction."
"Well," Qu Jianlei adjusted himself slightly before asking, "If you go faster, can you still identify the direction?"
"It can be faster," replied Immortal Bo Wen.
After a pause, he asked again, "But if it goes faster, this fellow Taoist's spiritual energy..."
"You don't need to worry about that," Xi Zhao replied proudly, "When you can't figure out the direction, just give me a hint."
After a while, Duan Bowen really sent out his spiritual consciousness, "No, let's just go at this speed."
He has his own unique identification method, and he will not tell Qu Lingzhu. He believes that the other party will not care about it.
This is not only because of Qu Jianlei’s previous promise, but also because this is his livelihood and it follows the rule of “lending money but not the road”.
However, the means of identification he had used in the past were used on warships. It didn't matter if it was a little faster, but if it was too fast... he really couldn't get used to it.
Just like the roads in the city, drivers who are used to driving at night may not be able to get used to it during the day.
However, he thought the current speed was good enough. "At this rate, we will arrive in five days at most."
"Actually, it can be even faster..." Xizhao muttered, but was too lazy to say anything else.
The weather at sea is extremely complex. Not only will the strong winds distort your vision, but the thick fog that appears from time to time will also affect your judgment.
Two days later, the ruler slowed down, and the Immortal Bowen released the war boat, and the three of them entered the war boat to rest.
Qu Jianlei collected the flesh and blood, and then the three of them released the others, letting them rest for half a day.
Immortal Bowen told his entourage that he would put them into the spirit beast bag later.
A Jindan of the Duan family couldn't help but said, "Ancestor, is there any explanation for this?"
Duan Bowen replied casually, "Just go into the spirit beast bag and wait. It will take at most four days to reach Zhongzhou."
"Four days?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
