Chapter 279 Arrival in Parret.
It was midday.
The sea shimmered, the golden sunlight casting ripples that made the surface ripple.
Schools of fish leaped about, and various sea spirit beasts swam freely, giving life to the vast ocean and creating a vibrant scene.
But this beauty and tranquility were soon shattered.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several cannonballs struck the sea, creating waves that crashed and killed many fish and spirit beasts.
"Hahaha! This soul tool is really useful! Not only is it better than some of Third Brother's hidden weapons, but it's also really satisfying to use!"
On the Dragon Soaring, Ma Hongjun stood beside the "cannon," looking at the results of his attack with excitement.
But he didn't notice that Xuan Mo was already standing behind him, his face grim. Even Mu Lin and Oscar, who were close to Ma Hongjun, didn't dare to speak up or warn him.
"Fatty, I think I already warned you."
Hearing Xuan Mo's gloomy tone, Ma Hongjun's smug expression froze instantly, and he mechanically turned his head.
But before his head was fully turned, "Fatty, did you just ignore what I said?! Look what you've done, sneaking around with the Soul Guidance Cannon again!"
"Ouch! Ouch..."
Ma Hongjun clutched his ear, which Xuan Mo had twisted, and cried out in pain, "Brother Mo, be gentle, you're too rough!"
"Hmph! Too rough..."
Xuan Mo flicked Ma Hongjun's ear, "I already warned you. You spendthrift! Do you know how precious this Soul Guidance Cannon is? Especially these Soul Guidance Shells that store Soul Power, each one costs a lot of Gold Soul Coins!" After saying that, Xuan Mo placed his hand on the Soul Guidance Cannon and put it back into his Soul Guidance Device. Next time, even if he died, he would never believe Ma Hongjun's lying mouth again!
"My God, my ears are swollen..."
Ma Hongjun looked at Xuan Mo with lingering fear, then rubbed his swollen ears and muttered to himself.
"You deserve it."
At this moment, Oscar handed over a recovery sausage to Ma Hongjun, and rolled his eyes after hearing Ma Hongjun's words.
"Ugh... you jerk Oscar, what do you mean!"
Ma Hongjun took a bite of the sausage in annoyance, "You didn't even help me just now, you just hid on the sidelines and watched the show."
"Help you? I don't want to end up like you now..."
At the same time.
"Didn't you say these soul-guided cannons were defective? Then why are you still so concerned about these soul-guided shells?"
Shenger walked to Xuan Mo's side and said expressionlessly.
"Even if they're defective, they're still good stuff."
Xuan Mo's face showed a hint of heartache, "Those guys who don't know the value of money, these soul-guided shells are practically our assets, and they dare to waste them like this!"
Shenger was speechless upon hearing this.
Good heavens! You looted all of this from Longji and his pirate ship, and now you're claiming it as your own property? That's utterly shameless!
However, if Xuanmo knew what Shenger was thinking, he would definitely show utter disdain.
What is face? How many gold soul coins is it worth?
Besides, Xuanmo wasn't interested in the capabilities of these soul-guided cannons, but rather the soul-guided technology behind them.
In fact, besides Dragon Valley, Xuanmo's other purpose in going to the Sun Moon Continent was to focus on soul-guided technology.
You see, after the Sun Moon Continent's invasion ten thousand years ago, soul-guided technology demonstrated its immense effectiveness on the battlefield, even crushing the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and weakening them.
Moreover, it was precisely because of their advanced soul-guided technology that Shrek Academy's status suffered to some extent.
Of course, this only applied to soul-guided weapons.
Therefore, with the appearance of soul-guided cannons, and based on his own deductions, Xuanmo knew that the Sun Moon Continent's development of soul-guided weapons was probably already quite advanced; perhaps the most advanced could even deal with Soul Saints.
So he wanted to take this opportunity to bring soul guidance technology back to Shrek Academy.
"By the way, about that thing you promised me..."
Facing Shenger, who was about to speak, Xuanmo nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. However, I hope you can seriously consider the suggestion I gave you a month ago. After all, it won't do you any harm." After Xuanmo finished speaking, Shenger fell silent again, but Xuanmo was used to it and didn't pay any more attention to Shenger. Instead, he walked to the helm at the bow of the ship.
"Uncle Will, are we almost there?"
"Don't worry. We'll arrive in three days at most..."
Three days later.
"Everyone, I can see the island."
Willda, who was on duty at the watchtower today, shouted when he saw the outline of an island appear in the distance.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the island in the distance. The island resembled a towering mountain, standing majestically on the sea.
"Parit Island, known as a gathering place for pirates, a lawless land rife with black markets? Intriguing."
After this remark, Xuanmo instructed Uncle Will to steer the Dragon Soar towards the island not far ahead.
"Hahaha! We've finally arrived!"
Ma Hongjun's face was filled with excitement.
Even the other members of the Dragon Soar were no exception.
Since the naval battle a month ago, Ma Hongjun and his crew hadn't fought, except for acquiring spirit rings.
It turned out that within a month, not only had Ryder obtained his sixth spirit skill, but Oscar and Ma Hongjun had both broken through to the Spirit King realm.
However, when it was Ma Hongjun's turn to hunt for spirit rings, he was actually quite lucky, encountering a ten-thousand-year-old Flaming Sparrowtail Fish. Otherwise, Ma Hongjun wouldn't have even acquired his fifth spirit skill yet.
"Next, we're preparing to land on the island, but there's a crucial point: we need to circle around to the back of the island and disembark from there."
Everyone agreed with Shenger's suggestion, as no one else knew the situation. Except for the pirates who had been here before…
Soon, the Dragon Soar, at Shenger's suggestion, approached the other side of the island.
This island, named "Parit," was large. Shenger explained that "Parit" was a lawless place, a pirate's paradise, and a hub of the black market.
Meanwhile, Xuanmo and his group also witnessed this scene; the coastal scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
Beyond this side, the coastline was surrounded by hills, with the blue sky, azure sea, and green mountains reflecting each other. It was undeniably beautiful.
"We've arrived. Parit…"
