Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 211 - 122: Red Tide Surfing, Return to Feixing City

Chapter 211: Chapter 122: Red Tide Surfing, Return to Feixing City

Su Yu saw this and said to Luo Qingchan:

"Let’s take a rest here for a while."

Luo Qingchan nodded and maneuvered the flying ship to descend slowly.

The team outside the city, engaged in exterminating, soon noticed the descending Jade Sinking Ship, and immediately, two young men came up, asking from afar:

"Who goes there?"

Su Yu walked to the bow, cupped his hands, and shouted loudly:

"We come from Rage Tide Island and wish to rest here for a bit before we move on."

A few people came to the front of the ship and saw that there were only four of them, one man and three women. Luo Qingchan concealed her true appearance with a treasure, yet her bearing and charisma were extraordinary, making them look envious:

"A short stay or a long one, both are fine, just don’t cause any trouble."

"Thanks a lot!"

The flying ship passed through the city defense barrier and floated into the city, hovering over the commercial area. Su Yu turned to Qe Dongyang’s wife and daughter and said:

"We won’t get off; we will stay here for a while. You can rest inside the flying ship."

"Of course, if you want to buy anything or get supplies, feel free to go down. We’ll stay for about three hours, just come back in time."

Leng Xijun, who hadn’t spoken all the way while dealing with the Red Tide Essences, breathed a sigh of relief, saluted Su Yu, and said warmly:

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for escorting us all the way."

He waved and smiled, saying:

"No need to be polite. Mr. Qe and I hit it off immediately, so it’s really a trivial matter, no need for thanks."

Sometimes, people can’t become friends even after knowing each other for years; sometimes, just meeting once and spending a short time together, people can become fast friends.

This is affinity; as long as personalities match, a short acquaintance can lead to a good friendship.

Helping each other a few times can forge close bonds.

His acquaintance with Qe Dongyang was not long; they hadn’t met since their last goodbye. But just this one meeting was enough to reveal the other’s decent character, willing to lend a hand without hesitation.

Leng Xijun didn’t disembark but took her exhausted daughter back into the flying ship to rest.

Qe Xiaoqi had average strength and after nearly a day and a half of continuous battle, she was exhausted.

However, she didn’t slack off and kept going, showing that Mr. Qe and his wife raised their daughter well.

Su Yu and Luo Qingchan did not disembark as they still had plenty of supplies and didn’t need any.

They raised the Jade Sinking Ship’s shield, and Ao Run coiled on the deck, the enormous Jiao dragon enough to intimidate any who might harbor malintent.

Su Yu didn’t sleep, but lay slantwise on Ao Run’s soft belly, resting with eyes closed.

Cultivating Dao techniques, his physique was robust, and his energy far exceeded that of normal cultivators; going a few days without rest was nothing and would not affect their combat strength.

The Jade Sinking Ship floated quietly within the city, its barrier isolating sound, creating an extremely peaceful atmosphere, with the three women sleeping soundly.

However, shortly after he lay down, a few people flew over and lightly knocked on the flying ship’s barrier.

Su Yu opened his eyes, saw the guild insignia on them, and stepped out of the Jade Sinking Ship, cupping his hands in greeting:

"What brings you all here?"

The leading man among the three also cupped his hands in salute and asked:

"I am Wang Tao from the Giant Boat Gang. Seeing that your flying ship is of high grade and you all seem weary, I wonder if you have come from the eastern Red Tide sources?"

"You have sharp eyes!"

The man eagerly asked:

"Could you tell us about the difficulty on the third day at the eastern Red Tide?"

Su Yu shook his head and said:

"The guild I was with fell by the end of the second day and did not last to the third."

"Why were they overrun?"

"Was it against the BOSS, or couldn’t they even hold off the regular Red Tide spirits?"

"It was the BOSS."

Su Yu sighed and said:

"They actually stood a chance, but their luck was terrible; a super BOSS targeted their guild and sank the city in one blow."

Wang Tao’s mouth fell slightly agape, his face somewhat grim.

"Which super BOSS was it?"

"The Nameless Ancient Demon!"

"It’s that one!"

His expression darkened further.

"Sorry to trouble you."

With a slight bow, Wang Tao hastily departed with his men.

Su Yu exhaled softly and went back to resting.

Three hours later, Su Yu woke the lightly sleeping Luo Qingchan, and they propelled the Jade Sinking Ship skyward, diving back into the Red Tide, resuming their journey to Feixing Island.

Fighting and flying all the way, they soon left the island and entered the vast ocean.

The further they flew, the lower the level of the Red Tide Essences. After flying for several hours, the level of the Red Tide Spirits stabilized, with the lowest level of the Red Tide Essences dropping to fifty or sixty.

Su Yu knew this was because their speed far exceeded that of the Red Tide, so when they departed from Rage Tide City, the Red Tide was at the third day’s difficulty. As they pushed forward, they gradually reached the second day’s difficulty and finally reached the first day’s difficulty.

Flying ahead a bit more, it wouldn’t be long until they broke through the Red Tide.

As expected, the Jade Sinking Ship sped along, and after another two hours, the sky suddenly cleared ahead, revealing endless blue skies and vast waters below.

Looking back, there was an endless, rolling Red Tide stretching from left to right, surging like a wave.

Qe Xiaoqi, who had already awakened, cheered at this sight:

"Mom, we made it out!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the Jade Sinking Ship slowed down, just enough to stay ahead of the Red Tide.

Only then did everyone have the leisure to observe their surroundings. Su Yu noticed that in front of the Red Tide on both sides were many flying ships, moving parallel to it as if chasing the tide, keeping a very close distance to harvest the Red Tide Essence.

"That’s quite an idea."

Su Yu, unable to sit still, raised an eyebrow and shouted:

"Let’s give it a try as well."

Luo Qingchan then slowed the Jade Sinking Ship to maintain a distance of about a hundred meters from the rolling Red Tide. Su Yu stood at the stern, wielding the Wind and Fire Fan, unleashing endless true flames that coalesced into fire and thunder, blasting into the Red Tide, and wreaked havoc.

The forefront of the Red Tide mostly consisted of small monsters and very few bosses, which could be taken down in a few hits.

The flying ship maintained this pace, and whenever they spotted a special essence or boss, they would dash into the Red Tide, go all out with firepower to take it down, and withdraw before the Red Tide Spirits surged over.

Even Leng Xijun and Qe Xiaoqi couldn’t resist joining in.

Going back and forth like this, entering and exiting the Red Tide at will, was immensely satisfying.

The Red Tide’s pace wasn’t fast, but it wasn’t slow either, moving at a speed of about 1,400 kilometers per hour and requiring nearly thirty days to sweep across the Feixing Island waters.

But that would be to sweep the entire Feixing Island area. If it were just from the explosion of the Red Tide to its forefront reaching Feixing Island, approximately a distance of 200,000 kilometers, it would take only six days.

Su Yu and his group held out on Rage Tide Island for two days and then spent about a day leaving Rage Tide Island.

Then they stayed at the Red Tide’s forefront for two days leveling up, witnessing the Red Tide’s front reach the Feixing Main Island.

Upon seeing the endless expanse of the Feixing Main Island, they propelled the Jade Sinking Ship faster toward Feixing City on the west side of Feixing Island.

Needless to say, Feixing City was definitely safe.

The city had stood here for over ten thousand years, likely having experienced more than two thousand Red Tides, yet remained unscathed, certainly having a way to deal with super bosses.

The Jade Sinking Ship sped up and reached Feixing City within a few hours.

"So many people!"

Both inside and outside the vast Feixing City were teeming with players, densely packed within and outside the city. Flying ships and treasure lights crisscrossed in the sky, far exceeding a density of ten times what Su Yu saw the last time he visited Feixing City.

In the regional channel, a clamor could be heard, with countless messages scrolling by like flowing water, mostly discussing the impending Red Tide enthusiastically.

Su Yu glanced over it briefly and found that people weren’t very worried about the upcoming Red Tide, instead discussing excitedly how many super bosses would appear this time. Some even made a list of thirteen super bosses in the Red Tide of Feixing Islands and started a poll.

Su Yu cast a glance and casually picked several bosses to vote for, remembering those super bosses’ names in passing.

The Jade Sinking Ship entered the city, and Leng Xijun bid them farewell:

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for escorting us. We’re in Feixing City now, so we won’t trouble you further."

Su Yu did not insist, clasping his hands in parting:

"We’re not leaving either. We’ll be in Feixing City waiting for the Red Tide. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Qe Xiaoqi also made a formal salute to him:

"Xiaoqi thanks Uncle Su Yu!"

"Uncle?"

Su Yu was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Luo Qingchan, usually calm and composed, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

The embarrassed girl stuck out her tongue as she was pulled away by the beautiful woman.

Su Yu touched his face, looking speechless:

"I don’t even have a girlfriend, and I’m being called Uncle..."

This blow left him dejected for quite a while.

With a few hours left before the Red Tide arrived, Su Yu parted from Luo Qingchan, who went to pick up a delivery sent by her father, while he headed straight to the commercial district.

He first found a general store to sell off the miscellaneous items dropped from the recent monster hunts.

Over these days, he had killed some bosses, acquiring several sixth-grade essences and flying sword treasures, most of which were unusable and were sold off, leaving behind only seven sixth-grade essences, one sixth-grade magical treasure, and a top-tier sixth-grade Fire Demon Robe.

Unfortunately, most of the spirits inside the Red Tide were Water Attribute, so only two of these seven sixth-grade essences were Fire Attribute, and one was exchanged from Luo Qingchan.

"Perhaps I could try exchanging different types of essences with others then."

After selling everything, he collected a total of 1,120 gold.

Beyond that, over these days, he accumulated around seventy million kill experience, and 3,120 cultivation points, combined with the previously gained 482 cultivation points and his remaining 1,460 cultivation points, totaling 5,062 cultivation points.

"What a haul!"

Just the cultivation points alone were enough to refine half an Immortal Bone.

And since they were staying on Feixing Island for another three days, with nearly half the players of the island conglomerating here, probably amounting to over a hundred million, it was sure to attract the main force of the Red Tide and a massive number of bosses, allowing him to grind another wave with effort.

"Now with 456 million cultivation points and 5,062 cultivation points, it should be enough to level up a bit more."

Su Yu’s eyes moved back and forth on the panel, lost in thought.
