Chapter 299 Situation on the Ship
……
In the seaweed forest east of Havendes, Lin Jinghong and the others returned to their ship smoothly without encountering any problems.
The journey was very smooth. Anti also helped Lin Jinghong and the others to learn about the route from the library to the kelp forest from Eniat in advance.
Even among the dozens of people in this group, not even one of them has a poor sense of direction. Their efficiency in traveling in complex terrain is much higher than An's.
They mainly spent their time searching the library for other people who had fled earlier.
Although it is a pity that many of them have become corpses, we will try to save them if we can.
Some of them were the ones who had caused all this by causing trouble in the first place. When they saw Lin Jinghong and his men coming over, they were all very embarrassed, then lowered their heads and pretended nothing had happened and blended into the team.
Then, when they discovered that the strength Lin Jinghong had displayed along the way was much stronger than before, they were even more shocked.
Lin Jinghong's experience in the library turned out to be a blessing in disguise!
Why don’t they have such good things? Some people still have jealous thoughts in their hearts, although they dare not say it out loud.
If Lin Jinghong knew, he would probably point to an abyss and tell them that such good things are everywhere here and they can try them at will.
On the ship, when someone discovered movement outside, they immediately looked out vigilantly. They could no longer withstand the turmoil.
When he saw that it was Lin Jinghong who brought back most of the people who had been kidnapped by the Octopus Head, he was surprised and quickly told the others on the boat.
Upon hearing the news, Nie Hong and Shang Liyu immediately ran out of the cabin.
"Crab! You actually came back alive!" Nie Hong rushed up immediately and looked Lin Jinghong up and down.
At first I was excited and relieved. Although I didn't say any nice words, my concern was not false.
But after calming down, he immediately noticed the changes in Lin Jinghong. Nie Hong's qi sensing can sense the abyss, so how could he not see the strong aura of the abyss on Lin Jinghong.
He immediately frowned: "Are you... okay?"
"Don't ask me, are you okay?" Lin Jinghong showed his usual confident and proud smile, and instead of answering, he asked.
Because Nie Hong’s current situation is bad in another way.
He had a lot of injuries on his body and was wrapped in bandages.
Nie Hong's Qi miracle has reached the point where he can easily heal most injuries through circulation. He can easily recover from flesh wounds that do not damage vital organs.
In this situation, the fact that Nie Hong was bandaged like this showed that his energy recovery could not keep up with the speed at which his injuries worsened.
Lin Jinghong glanced at Shang Liyu who was a few steps slower. Her injuries were better than Nie Hong's, but she looked a little listless.
Lin Jinghong, who had the light of mind and therefore began to explore the spiritual level, noticed that Shang Liyu's mental energy was greatly consumed, and the consumption was not properly restored.
Shang Liyu's flame is mainly a spiritual fire that needs to be combined with the spirit. It takes more consumption to make a fire on the seabed to fight against the power of the surrounding sea water and cause powerful damage.
One over-consumes the body, the other over-consumes the mind.
Lin Jinghong put away her smile and said, "It's been a tough few days."
"Of course not. Without you, it's hard to control some people. Those crabs come every now and then, and they are determined to trap us here and consume us to death." Nie Hong said.
There are quite a few damages on the ship, but they are not particularly serious. The fact that the ship has survived until now only shows that its workmanship is truly top-notch.
Next to them, the people brought back by Lin Jinghong were also reunited with their friends. They survived a desperate situation. Even though they had not really escaped from the predicament, everyone was still somewhat moved.
"I met Anti." Lin Jinghong said.
"Where is it? Where is it?!" Nie Hong immediately perked up and looked around.
Shang Liyu was rather calm at this time, although Lin Jinghong also noticed that her somewhat dull eyes suddenly became much brighter, but she did not express her emotion directly.
"He probably still has things to do." Shang Liyu said with understanding.
Lin Jinghong smiled and nodded.
It is he and Shang Liyu who understand Anti better.
"Ahhh? Why didn't you come back with me after seeing him?" Nie Hong abandoned his brain when Lin Jinghong came back. Some people who stayed on the ship had seen Nie Hong's passionate performance on the deck during this period. Now, seeing that Nie Hong had degenerated after Lin Jinghong came back and heard the news from An Ti, they felt very strange.
"Take your time to talk." Lin Jinghong said calmly.
Nie Hong and Shang Liyu looked at Lin Jinghong. They didn't know why, although Lin Jinghong behaved the same as usual, after a few days, they felt as if they were in a different world. He seemed to have changed a lot.
After returning to the cabin to rest, Lin Jinghong recounted his experience in the library in some detail.
Including his contact with the abyss, the limb grafting and fusion of the wandering spirit, being saved by Anti, the disguised sage in the library, his body transformation, and everything Anti entered his dream and took him through.
Lin Jinghong's tone was very calm throughout the whole process, but Nie Hong and Shang Liyu were both worried when they heard it.
If there was no Anti, or even if Anti took a few wrong steps, wouldn't Lin Jinghong never be able to come back?
Even so, Lin Jinghong has now almost said goodbye to his original body. Except for the appearance which remains the same, his inner self has been completely overturned by the power of the abyss and the wandering gods.
Although it is a perfectly fused structure, it is ultimately just a temporary stable state. With the deepening of the abyss and the deepening of his transformation into a deity, Lin Jinghong's future is not ideal.
"What's wrong? Don't you have anything to say?" Lin Jinghong produced a pair of pliers with his left hand and waved them in front of the silent Nie Hong.
Nie Hong was originally in a heavy mood, but Lin Jinghong's words made him lose his temper. He slapped his claws away and said, "Are you teasing a child? Now you really have become a crab. This nickname is well deserved!"
Shang Liyu also smiled: "It's good that this power can now be relied upon by you."
In a way, she was a little envious of Lin Jinghong because Lin Jinghong had temporarily controlled the power of Youshen.
She was just the body of a wandering god at first, and now it has been separated. She can only explore again according to her original feeling, but if she wants to restore that powerful flame on her own, she doesn't know how long the road will be.
The consumption during this period made her miss the power of the True Spirit Fire, although she also knew that she was just being a masochist.
After all, I was made to cry my heart out by that thing at the beginning, and now I miss it because of the embarrassing situation.
"There are all kinds of strange things in this dream world. Don't laugh. Be careful that you might turn into a monkey one day, although I feel that you already are one." Lin Jinghong joked.
Nie Hong curled her lips: "Tsk."
"He is more likely to turn into a bug now." Shang Liyu whispered beside him.
"Sister Li Yu, that's enough. Alas, Feidudu has been hungry for a long time recently." Nie Hong said distressedly.
His injuries kept recurring, and most of the power in the cycle was given to him. Fatty was very sensible and didn't make a fuss, but no matter how sensible he was, Chong Chong had shrunk several times due to hunger.
"You need to take more nutrition." Lin Jinghong said and glanced at Shang Liyu, "You too, you need to take good care of yourself."
"It would be hard to say if you didn't come back, but now you have become a wandering god and the king crabs have returned, so I can leave it to you with peace of mind." Nie Hong waved his hands. He had no psychological burden. Now that Lin Jinghong was back, he couldn't wait to get rid of his brain.
Please, the person in front is a human-shaped wandering god, there is nothing to worry about.
Being brave at this time would only put pressure on Lin Jinghong.
Shang Liyu nodded, but his smile faded as he remembered something: "You should deal with Lin Kai. Nie Hong and I are too busy to take care of him. Although the small group he organized has been more well-behaved since the invasion, they are still not in harmony with us, and small groups often go out without permission."
Lin Jinghong's smile disappeared immediately: "Okay, I get it. We have to clean up the mess here before An Ti comes back from work. We can't let him laugh at us."
"If we can handle it before Anti comes back, we can be considered as saving them." Nie Hong muttered.
Lin Jinghong and Shang Liyu couldn't help but laugh.
It really is.
If these people are still restless when Anti comes back, then Anti will not have to deal with them as much as Lin Jinghong cares about, so he will give them face.
"But we still have to be quick, I still have to find Jingxian." Lin Jinghong said.
Although he was very worried about his younger brother, he knew that he couldn't be impatient and that the base camp had to be stabilized first. Lin Jingxian was very immature but he was Lin Jinghong's younger brother after all, and he was not stupid. If he was lucky, there would not be any big problems.
Lin Jinghong's state of mind has become more "perfect" after being trained by his dream predecessors.
