Chapter 1368 - 1367: Familiar Big Guy
Ji Nuan had already learned from the old Shaman that the barrier between the East Continent and the southern land was a vast ocean, but he had never been there and didn’t know just how large that ocean was.
Maomao and her companions stayed behind at the Bitter Tribe under the care of Luo Gan and the others. If there was time, they could even take a trip to the desert.
If he and Xiu Yan wanted to cross the ocean, they would probably need to fly over it, and there was no way to bring them along.
Two days later, Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan bid farewell to the tribe members and embarked on a journey with just the two of them.
"This is..." At this moment, Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan stood on the seashore mentioned by the old Shaman. Looking at the familiar red ocean before them, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but feel like he had returned to the days of boiling salt by the sea.
"Could this Red Sea be connected to the one where we boiled salt?" Ji Nuan murmured to himself.
Xiu Yan chuckled lightly, "It might be. The ocean is so vast, the seawater could flow anywhere."
Saying this, he stretched out his arm to pull Ji Nuan into his embrace, and with a flap of his wings, they instantly soared into the sky above the ocean.
However, this Red Sea quickly revealed its dangers to the two beasts. Holding Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan suddenly ascended, dodging a sturdy tail covered in black and red scales.
Startled by the sudden movement, Ji Nuan clutched Xiu Yan’s shoulder and looked down. A black and red, rock-like creature slowly surfaced from the Red Sea.
Although it seemed like a reef, Ji Nuan knew this was definitely a type of Sea Beast, and a very ferocious one at that. Its combat power was formidable, as the wind from that tail swipe even caused Brother Xiu Yan to lose a bit of balance.
The black and red Sea Beast slowly emerged on the surface, finally revealing its hideous form, but...
Ji Nuan blinked and poked Xiu Yan’s back with a finger, "Brother Xiu Yan, look at this big guy below, doesn’t it seem a bit familiar?"
Xiu Yan had already seen the Sea Beast’s full appearance and gave a slight cold smile, "Of course it’s familiar. We fought with this guy in Ya Li before."
Xiu Yan’s words confirmed it for Ji Nuan, "So this big guy is the Ferocious Crocodile that once attacked Swordfish Island with a bunch of Poisonous Sea Beasts?"
"That’s right, but it seems its strength has improved quite a bit since we last saw it."
Ji Nuan nodded, "Isn’t it just? Back then, it ran away because it couldn’t win. Although it spied on us for a bit from not far away, it ultimately didn’t return for a fight."
Who knows if this guy recognized her and Brother Xiu Yan or if it recognized them but felt emboldened by its improved strength to cause trouble?
"This thing really has forgotten the pain after its wounds healed. The scar on its head is still there, yet it dares to provoke us now. Brother Xiu Yan, let’s teach it a lesson and show it why the flowers are so red."
Ji Nuan excitedly sharpened an imaginary knife in Xiu Yan’s embrace, looking expectantly.
Xiu Yan looked helplessly at the little companion in his arms who was eager for excitement. "You don’t plan on letting it take us across the Red Sea as a mount, do you?"
Ji Nuan was taken aback, then rubbed his nose and chuckled, "Yeah, don’t you think having such a sea mount would be really cool?"
Cool my ass, is there any mount in this Beast World cooler than being carried by me?
Though Xiu Yan complained internally, he still decided to grant this small request of his little companion.
