Chapter 165: Treasure Automatically Recognizing Its Master?

Fierce winds roared, and lightning boomed.

The waves churned continuously, like enraged Vicious Beasts surrounding the person who had fallen into the sea.

Near the sunken ship, sporadic flashes of fire burst out, gunshots rang out, and sounds of slaughter and exclamations drifted over.

After a few minutes, it ultimately returned to nature's most primitive state of tranquility.

Fang Cheng floated up and down in the waves, keeping his body balanced and quietly adjusting his internal breathing.

His gaze swept across the battlefield dyed red by blood, looking at the faint, twinkling lights of boats in the distance.

Then he emitted an extremely low guttural sound.

Upon hearing this, the mermen swimming around immediately plunged back into the dark, boundless ocean.

"Fortunately."

Fang Cheng clenched his fist, feeling the pain coming from his palm and finger joints.

His 9th punch finally smashed a hole in the bottom of the ship.

Otherwise, Fang Cheng would have had to choose to give up his evacuation or board the ship directly, risking the explosion of rocket-propelled grenades to eliminate all enemies.

At this moment, the bones of his palm felt as though tens of thousands of needles were stabbing them, generating waves of weak electrical currents running through his entire arm.

Wanting to pierce through tens of millimeters of steel plates with a mortal body, the difficulty was definitely beyond imagination.

This wasn't just a matter of sheer strength; more importantly, it depended on whether his own bone density could withstand such intense impact strength.

If the density of his fist wasn't enough, under the recoil force, before the steel plate was pierced, his own bones would have shattered first.

Fortunately, Fang Cheng possessed the corresponding skill effects.

With 41 points in Physique, through "Iron Fist", the strength of his fist's muscles and bones was amplified to an effect equivalent to 82 points in Physique.

Then, the "Qilin Arm" further increased the bone hardness of his entire arm.

Not only that.

The True Qi running through his arm and enveloping his fist, while increasing the power of his punch, also played a certain protective role.

With so many preconditions.

Only then could Fang Cheng rely on the charged attack of the "Qilin Arm" and the talent of "Water Breathing" to enhance his combat ability in the marine environment, ultimately piercing through the tens of millimeters thick high-strength ship steel.

Fang Cheng's mind settled slightly, and he introspected his body.

Aside from causing a few slight cracks in his arm bones, the huge rebound force also slightly shifted his internal organs.

However, it was not a big problem.

Judging by his own physical qualities, this degree of injury could fully recover in about two days.

Moreover, True Qi had an exceptionally outstanding therapeutic effect on internal injuries, so he believed the recovery time would be greatly shortened on this basis.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's gaze flickered slightly, and then it fell on the Dantian position below his abdomen.

A ball of azure True Qi resided here, resembling a quiet, sleeping ocean with unruffled ripples and a calm breeze.

Only.

Compared to the scene where it almost filled the gaps in the Dantian earlier, the "water level" had dropped significantly, reaching nearly the halfway point.

An intensely fierce battle could actually consume so much True Qi.

Fang Cheng couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache in his heart.

Feeling the degree of the tide's rise and fall, it probably wasn't time for the ebb tide yet.

Now he had to hurry back to the abyss, reabsorb energy, and replenish his True Qi.

Swimming back, Fang Cheng scanned around and saw that the fishing boat of the Zhenxiang Society that had been blown up was still parked in its original place.

Two kilometers away, several other boats flashing red and blue dual-colored lights were driving towards it.

It seemed to be the maritime police law enforcement boats of Yongan Island.

Seeing this, Fang Cheng immediately turned around and swam further away, intending to find an undisturbed location to Cultivate.

The sea was still churning and roaring, blocking all humans who dared to enter the sea at this time.

Yet Fang Cheng was like a fish in water, his body nimbly cutting through the waves and swimming freely.

Suddenly, his vision pierced through the storm, catching a glimpse of a small boat drifting among the rolling waves in the darkness.

On the boat, two familiar figures vaguely appeared.

"Cousin, are you really going down? It's too dang—"

Pan Wendi stood with difficulty on the swaying deck, the howling wind and rain pouring into his mouth, making his voice somewhat hoarse.

A giant wave rose high, scaring him so much that he swallowed the second half of his words down his throat.

Waiting until the rolling sensation of the hull lessened a bit, he continued to shout to Lin Chuqiao, who was leaning against the gunwale:

"It's too dangerous now, the waves are so big, and there are monsters haunting below. Shouldn't we wait until dawn to see the situation?"

Lin Chuqiao was wearing a diving suit and carrying an oxygen tank. At this moment, her delicate body also appeared difficult to maintain balance, and she shouted back:

"When dawn comes and the tide recedes, the treasures will all be snatched away by others. What would be the point of going down then?"

This was a small yacht that could accommodate at most 6 people. Being able to go out to sea in such severe weather was already a very difficult thing.

Lin Chuqiao looked at the pitch-black sea surface, her eyes flashing with excitement.

"So what the Zhenxiang Society values most comes from this undersea rift. No wonder those people fought so fiercely and even used rocket-propelled grenades..."

While muttering to herself, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of regret appeared on her face.

"We knew too late, otherwise we could have prepared more thoroughly!"

Pan Wendi stood aside, dropping the heavy weight of the diving guide rope used to fix the position into the sea, still trying to persuade:

"What about those monsters?"

"Check them carefully one by one!"

"Some things are never possible to succeed in without taking risks."

Lin Chuqiao faced the wind, took a deep breath, and said in a resolute tone:

"Besides, my swimming skills are not bad. Relying on mental ability, I can mislead and drive them away, so there won't be any problems."

Saying that, she reached out to test the firmness of the diving guide rope, and turned her head to instruct Pan Wendi:

"Just watch the boat and equipment, and ensure safety on the sea surface."

Then she neatly put on her respirator, picked up the underwater searchlight, and prepared to jump into the sea.

Just at this moment, Pan Wendi suddenly called out to her again, pointing his finger towards the cape direction:

"Wait, there seems to be a situation over there!"

Hearing this, Lin Chuqiao instantly stopped her actions and looked up at the few steamships in the distance flashing police lights.

"It should be the maritime police law enforcement boat, probably here to patrol..."

The yacht had a small target and deliberately turned off its lighting sources.

In such an ink-black stormy night, unless one came close, it was very hard to discover their whereabouts.

Yet the two did not dare to lower their guard, holding their breath all along to observe the movements of the law enforcement boat.

The waves pushed the hull to sway with creaking sounds, wind and rain rolled in in gusts, and the surroundings fell into an unusual silent atmosphere.

Suddenly, a sound of "clatter" rang out.

It seemed something jumped out of the sea and fell into the yacht.

The two were slightly startled, quickly following the sound to look over.

In the dark, a bone exuding blue fluorescent light was unexpectedly lying on the deck.

The bone was unknown as to what creature's remains it came from, being about the size of a washbasin.

That azure light was exceptionally eye-catching, like a ribbon ethereal in the air, exuding an unreal dreamy feeling.

Reflected in the pupils, it also faintly stung, reminding you that beneath such a beautiful exterior actually lay some kind of fatal danger.

"Ah, ancient remains!"

Lin Chuqiao exclaimed, hurriedly covering her mouth again, trying to suppress her joy, while her eyes twinkled like little stars.

Pan Wendi also curiously looked at the bone, muttering:

"So this is the treasure those people were fighting over? Why do I feel this thing looks a bit familiar..."

Just as the two were guessing whether this treasure possessed psychic ability and ran up from the bottom of the sea to look for its master.

Clatter!

Along with the sound of the seawater being split open, another bone emitting blue light automatically jumped onto the boat.

Lin Chuqiao suddenly sensed something at this moment, turning back to look at a certain part of the sea surface where waves were churning.

Gazing intently for a long time, she murmured in a low voice:

"Could it be Fang Cheng?"

"Fang Cheng?"

Hearing this, Pan Wendi immediately poked his head out to look around, saying:

"He fell into the water? Where is he, can he swim?"

Beneath the surging sea surface, it was quiet and dark.

A figure like a whale was rapidly diving down, swimming towards an abyss that ordinary people could not reach.
