Chapter 511: Chapter 398: Tagalong Boat (Requesting Monthly Ticket)_2
After finishing, Chen Yuan lowered his head, gently stroking An Ge’s swollen belly with one hand, feeling the heartbeat of the small life inside, quietly enjoying the brief moment of togetherness.
An Ge also gently rested her head, along with her long black hair, on his shoulder. The bright yellow firelight reflected on their faces, bright and warm, as they leaned quietly against each other.
After a while, An Ge’s blue eyes rippled and she suddenly spoke,
"General, if you didn’t have to fight, if I had no family grievances, and the world was at peace, wouldn’t it be nice to withdraw to the countryside and enjoy the gentle breeze and sunny showers?"
A woman’s heart is always soft, especially when she is about to become a mother.
Upon hearing this, the firelight danced in Chen Yuan’s eyes. Who wouldn’t want that? Better to be a dog in peacetime than a person in chaos.
He fought his way here, sometimes exhausted in spirit, but never had time to lament the desolate world; chaos could only be fought through, as could peace.
What An Ge wanted was exactly what he’s doing now.
"The day will come!"
He said softly, the firelight in his eyes so bright.
They leaned against each other by the fire for three hours until An Ge slowly awoke on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, opening her eyes, realizing she’d fallen asleep unknowingly! freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Awake?"
"Mm!" An Ge lazily hummed from her nose.
"Let’s go inside. I should also get back to my own tasks." Chen Yuan said gently, then repeated a previous action, tearing gently in the void with both hands, opening a person-high black rift.
An Ge nodded, took a step forward, and brushed a light kiss on the side of Chen Yuan’s face like a dragonfly skimming the water, then her purple figure stepped into the Teapot Heaven Space and soon disappeared without a trace. The black rift closed afterward, a flash of light, the space before him returning smooth as a mirror, as if nothing had happened.
But just as the Teapot Heaven Space closed, a wisp of disturbance in the space made Chen Yuan sense a subtle difference.
Compared to before, it seemed slightly sluggish!
As someone well-versed in this craft, Chen Yuan instantly detected this subtle change, especially under the current situation, and he became alert, his eyebrows slightly raised.
He subtly operated the Magic Eye Golden Light, focusing on his pupils, then slowly surveyed the surroundings of the dark cave.
Under the operation of his Dharma Eye, the surrounding darkness appeared bright as day in his eyes. Even the three Grand Protectors of Taisui Mountain, hidden and separated by the prohibition, appeared as vague silhouettes.
The three were each sitting cross-legged, appearing normal!
Chen Yuan slowly furrowed his brows, but patiently continued surveying around the mountain. Outside the mountain, it was already daylight, the lush and verdant mountains and wild beasts roaring and giant beasts hunting; it was the most ordinary sight of the Ten Thousand Mountains, seeming very calm.
Could it be that he was just being suspicious?
Chen Yuan thought, the golden light in his pupils slowly fading, but in the next moment, he closed his eyes, his sleeve sweeping over the fire in front of him, causing the burning firelight to burst into sparks. Instead of ascending, it was pressed downward.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes suddenly opened, and his body instantly sank downward.
After three or four breaths, Chen Yuan arrived at a subterranean dark river a hundred meters below the mountain. This dark river was not wide, spanning only four to five zhang. Then, his third eye in the middle of his brows opened directly, its golden light blazing, illuminating the underground dark river crystal clear.
Unknowingly, Chen Yuan looked toward one side of the dark river, his eyes steadying, his brows couldn’t help furrowing in surprise, then a blazing golden light shot from his third eye, landing on the river’s surface.
"Come out!" Chen Yuan shouted harshly.
A booming sound exploded from that river surface, white waves rising.
Afterwards, except for the splash of water dripping onto the water’s surface, there was no other movement.
"Do I have to drag you out?"
Chen Yuan said with a cold face.
As soon as he finished speaking, numerous white bubbles churned beneath the rippling water surface, as if boiling below. Then, those bubbles burst on the surface, releasing a large amount of white mist.
The white mist rolled open, instantly filling the space of the subterranean dark river.
Under Chen Yuan’s Dharma Eye, a two-story small boat appeared vaguely in the mist.
Besides its size, it was exactly the same as the previous stranded Night Navigation Ship!
This thing, instead of being captured by Demons along with the Fang Family’s members, somehow followed Chen Yuan noiselessly to this place.
If Chen Yuan hadn’t sensed the subtle differences in space here, along with his cautious nature, he would never have detected anything unusual and caught this ship’s manifestation!
Chen Yuan had always found this boat peculiar because he had previously ventured into it personally, later realizing the ship had its own consciousness. So when the Fang Family Ancestor coveted it, seeking the so-called Dragon and Tiger opportunity, he entertained no thoughts and left the ship without hesitation, exposing both the ship and the Fang Family’s members.
In Chen Yuan’s mind, it’s best to keep a distance from things he’s unsure about; perhaps it could even create some trouble for Demons.
Now that the ship found him, the many suspicions involved made Chen Yuan’s eyes flash with cold light.
How did this thing find him?
What did it want by secretly following him?
"Come out!"
He spoke to the mist, his eyes flickering.
But the small boat in the mist showed no change.
Growing impatient, Chen Yuan swung a hand backward, behind, summoning a Three-pointed Two-blade Spear, which resonated with a vibrating hum, its cold light sharp.
"If you don’t come out, this general will force you out. Let me see what divine entity this object that everyone eagerly pursues truly is?"
Cold light flickered in Chen Yuan’s eyes. His action would surely cause a great stir, but so what?
This Night Navigation Ship repeatedly appeared, elusive as a mountain goat on cliff edges, utterly without warning. Now, seeming to have its sights on him, this uncertain factor needed to be eliminated as soon as possible, even if just to drive it away. At least this way, he wouldn’t have to worry about it suddenly causing trouble at a critical moment, especially while still amid Demon-occupied Ten Thousand Mountains.
Therefore, even if creating noise and exposing his presence, it was of no concern!
As the words fell, his long spear spun, emitting a sharp ringing, and at the same time, three strong energies quickly descended from above to the subterranean dark river.
"Swoosh"
"Swoosh"
"Swoosh"
The three figures appeared almost simultaneously around Chen Yuan, being the three Grand Protectors of Taisui Mountain.
Initially following Chen Yuan’s instructions, they patiently awaited the subsequent plans, sitting quietly healing. But, startled by the earlier disturbance, they rushed down.
"Colonel Chen!"
"What’s this?"
The three arrived by Chen Yuan’s side, gazing curiously at the white mist over the river’s surface, not immediately understanding.
"The ship followed us!" Chen Yuan directly blasted a golden light from his Dharma Eye, clearing the white mist to reveal its hidden form.
The three of Jin Yushan peered over, their expressions startled.
Indeed!
Their brows then furrowed to various extents, involuntarily stirring the same questions as Chen Yuan.
"This general intends to force out whatever is inside, skulking around. Had I not been sensitive to spatial fluctuations, I’d never have realized it had followed." Chen Yuan transmitted to the three.
"This ship has its own consciousness; its origin remains a mystery. Anyway, it’s rumored to be the secret trove left by Great Dragon Tiger Ability!" Jin Yushan frowned and spoke.
"I’m with Colonel Chen, force it out whether person or Ghost, we must bring it forth to discern its truth!" Hu Yanqing glanced with wide eyes, speaking with sound stifled.
Chen Yuan said little more, stepping firmly forward, wielding the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear, transforming into an air boom, charging forward.
"Take action!"
The three Grand Protectors, seeing this, didn’t hesitate, transforming into three afterimages hurtling forward.
As the four transformed into air booms, charging into the mist, directly aiming at the small boat’s heart, a creaking sound was heard, as the originally tightly closed cabin door suddenly opened.
