Chapter 565 - Honeycomb Beach
Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia did not resist, letting Di Jiu take them away. Their only hope of escape lay in Di Jiu.
Almost as soon as Di Jiu rushed out of the space enclosed by the Rat Tide, the place where they had been previously was swarmed by rats.
Di Jiu took out a flying boat once again and placed the two of them on the boat. The flying boat rushed out as fast as it could. However, the Rat Tide chased after the boat.
Di Jiu was not afraid. The speed of the Rat Tide was fast, but it was most likely not as fast as his flying boat’s speed.
“I felt that something was not right.” Mu Jie broke out in cold sweat while thinking about what had just happened.
Di Jiu replied, “Indeed, we were too careless. We should have purchased a Lackluster Ocean introduction jade slip no matter how poor we were.”
Although he said that, Di Jiu also knew that this was something extremely difficult for them to accomplish. One had to use divine crystals to purchase any jade slips in the Lackluster Ocean Divine City, yet they owned none. Trading immortal crystals for divine crystals was without a doubt out of the question.
Alternatively, they could use supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians to trade for divine crystals. Nonetheless, there were not a lot of supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians in the Immortal World. Trading one would not allow them to gain much, and trading a second one would paint a target on their backs.
Weaklings who could trade supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians for divine crystals were clearly people of a certain status. Such people usually possessed good items.
The patch-faced man’s expression turned cold. Was he being treated like a fool? The Rat Tide of the Lackluster Ocean Rat Tide District would definitely not chase after a cultivator’s flying boat without a reason. Not unless this cultivator had come out of the recesses of the Rat Tide District and been attacked by the Eight-Legged Ocean Rat previously.
“Where are you guys headed?” demanded the patch-faced man coldly.
The remaining cultivators on his boat all stood up, an evident sign that they were prepared to fight.
Honeycomb Beach was very close to where they were. Thus, Di Jiu chose to reply truthfully, “We are headed to Honeycomb Beach.”
“You guys are intending to harvest the Stacked Partition Herb as well?” asked the patch-faced man immediately, his face beaming with delight.
He should not kill these fellas but force them to help harvest the Stacked Partition Herbs. He had come here to harvest the herbs as well after all.
The Stacked Partition Herb was poisonous. If other people helped them harvest the herb, combined with the precautionary measures they had taken, they would be able to profit a lot without the risk of getting poisoned.
“That’s right. We are intending to harvest the Stacked Partition Herbs. Thank you for the Lackluster Ocean introduction jade slip. Farewell,” replied Di Jiu as he controlled the flying boat and got ready to leave.
They would fight if these people wanted to do so. He was indeed unable to beat people who had attained the Dao Modeling but he was still confident about being able to kill them off one-by-one using the flying boat’s Defense Array to help Mu Jie. Furthermore, he had mastered the nomological array flags.
“We are going to harvest some Stacked Partition Herbs as well. In that case, let us all enter Honeycomb Beach. This way, we will all have some company.” The patch-faced man laughed before controlling the flying boat to follow Di Jiu’s boat closely.
“What should we do?” Mu Jie looked at Di Jiu worriedly. She could sense that the four people on the flying boat chasing after them were not simple. Two of them possessed cultivation levels higher than hers, and the other two seemed to be about to attain the Dao Modeling.
Di Jiu knew many different techniques, but his cultivation level was undeniably too low.
“Don’t worry. They would most likely not do anything before we reached Honeycomb Beach.” Then, Di Jiu looked at Zhuo Wujia and said, “Brother Zhuo, don’t attack later on when the battle starts. Guard me and Sister Mu instead. I have the means to kill them off one at a time.”
“Okay.” Zhuo Wujia was very anxious to condense his Dao Seed so that he could attain the Dao Modeling. Otherwise, he would be useless in battle given the amount of strength he possessed.
Half a day later, Di Jiu stopped the flying boat. They had arrived at Honeycomb Beach.
“Such a big honeycomb!” exclaimed Mu Jie when her eyes landed on Honeycomb Beach, which was before her.
Anyone with trypophobia would feel intense discomfort upon coming here.
Someone had already set up an Illumination Array at the edges of Honeycomb Beach. It was a reef island, large and protruding. Outside the island were numerous tightly-connected caves one could not scan with their Spiritual Force.
From afar, it indeed appeared to be a honeycomb situated in the center of the island.
