The original repairer

Chapter 125 Landing on the Continent

Liang Ruyan flew to Shi Chen and was about to pick him up, her eyes full of anxiety and concern.

"First go... kill the Nascent Soul Sea Monster. It is now... seriously injured... unconscious, and then..." Shi Chen said half of his words with difficulty. He passed out before he finished his words. His face was as pale as paper and his breath was weak.

Time flies, and three months have passed in a flash. It was not until today that Shi Chen recovered from his injury.

He could feel his body recovering, his body refining strength increased to a higher level, and his cultivation of the first level of the Golden Core also loosened up. If he found a place with rich spiritual energy to practice, he would be able to break through to the second level of the Golden Core.

Three months ago, Shi Chen fainted before he could finish explaining the subsequent arrangements. Fortunately, the Jindan Sea Monster chasing them was quite far away, staying forty or fifty miles outside the battlefield, just to prevent Shi Chen and the others from retreating and escaping.

What Shi Chen originally wanted to say was that after killing the Nascent Soul Sea Monster, he would take away its magic weapon and monster body, and then head towards the mainland.

Liang Ruyan clearly grasped Shi Chen's intentions, even though she only half-heard them. Ultimately, everything she did was in line with Shi Chen's wishes. She first fed Shi Chen two high-grade healing pills, then slew the unconscious Nascent Soul sea monster, collecting its magical artifacts and corpse. Finally, she carried Shi Chen on her back, launched her flying boat, and flew towards Dongzhizhou. Her forehead was covered in sweat, her heart pounding, and she took every step with great care.

She had no knowledge of formations, so she could only drive her flying boat for two hours every day, then find a natural island to rest and recover. Every day she lived in fear, fearing that the sea monsters would discover her and surround her.

According to the method Shi Chen had taught her, each day's direction would be different. Although it would take a longer detour, the final destination would still be back to the mainland, but the time required would be doubled.

After flying intermittently for a month, Shi Chen finally woke up from his coma.

The injuries sustained this time were extremely severe. If Liang Ruyan hadn't been there to support him outside the battlefield, it would only take a few days for the Nascent Soul Sea Monster's chaotic sea of consciousness to recover and wake up from its coma, and he would be the one to die.

There is no need for the Nascent Soul Sea Monster to wake up, as the Golden Core Sea Monster dozens of miles outside the battlefield can take advantage of the situation.

After regaining consciousness, Shi Chen instructed Liang Ruyan to find a cave on a natural island. He painstakingly set up two formations, one for concealment and the other for shielding the spirit, before continuing to heal in the cave.

It took two months for Shi Chen's injury to fully heal.

"Shi Chen, your injury has healed. Where are we going next?" Liang Ruyan asked Shi Chen who was putting away the formation, with a hint of expectation and confusion in her eyes.

Shi Chen placed the array base into the storage ring, and then said to Liang Ruyan with a smile: "Captain, we currently have little advantage in the Demon Sea. There are demon sea beasts everywhere. We can only reach the land first and then try to contact other team members." His eyes were firm, revealing a hint of worry about the future.

"Which seaside fairy city are we heading to? Duhai Fairy City?" Liang Ruyan asked, frowning and feeling uneasy.

"Douhai Immortal City was besieged by sea monsters when we were fleeing. We don't know whether the siege has been lifted or breached. Let's go to Donghai Immortal City first to check the war situation."

"Okay, let's go to land first and contact the team members."

Forty days later, Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan set foot on the land of Dongzhizhou. After six years of escape, they finally returned to the mainland.

Ten days ago, Liang Ruyan began contacting the team members daily, but her messages fell on deaf ears, with no response. Anxiety written all over her face, she paced back and forth.

"This place is still more than 4,000 miles away from the East China Sea Fairy City. There are no traces of sea monsters on the Demon Sea within a few hundred miles of the edge of the continent. I feel the situation is a little bad." Shi Chen said worriedly, his brows twisted into a knot.

"I hope the human race can drive all the sea monsters back to the Monster Sea. For now, we can only inquire about the battle situation." Liang Ruyan said while operating the sound transmission talisman, biting her lip and looking nervous.

After traveling over a thousand miles toward the East Sea Immortal City, they began to spot sea monsters, scattered in groups of three or two, or in large groups, scattered lazily throughout the mountains, rivers, and lakes. Wherever Shi Chen and Liang Ruyan passed, everything was destroyed, whether it was a market town or a mortal town.

Shi Chen didn't take action against the sea monsters he encountered along the way, fearing they would be hunted down if his whereabouts were exposed. They were only Qi Refining Stage monsters, with the occasional Foundation Establishment Stage monster. They posed no threat to the two of them.

The two used the art of physiognomy to transform into sea monsters in the foundation-building stage, moving among the group of sea monsters.

After traveling for another ten days, they were still over two thousand miles from the East Sea Immortal City. Here, there were even more sea monsters, grouped in groups, each with around a hundred monsters, led by a Foundation Establishment Sea Monster.

On this day, five hundred miles away from the East China Sea Fairy City, golden elixir sea monsters began to appear.

Liang Ruyan's physiognomy skills have reached great heights, and can deceive the consciousness of sea monsters in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core stage. If the consciousness of sea monsters in the late Golden Core stage is not strong, it is difficult to detect it.

"Wait, I received a message from my teammates." Liang Ruyan took out the voice communication talisman from her waist and said, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Shi Chen looked at Liang Ruyan for a moment, quietly waiting for the next words, his hands unconsciously clenched.

"Zhang Hao replied that he is currently on a reconnaissance mission and is about eight thousand miles away from us." Liang Ruyan frowned slightly and said solemnly, "He sent me a brief report on the battle situation in the past six months. The situation of the human race in the past six months has not been optimistic, and it is currently on the defensive. The immortal cities along the coast have all been occupied by sea monsters. If we want to meet up, we need to penetrate about ten thousand miles deep before we can encounter the human race's front line of defense. Three months ago, the sea monsters pushed the front line to the human race's second line of defense, and now the two sides are still in a stalemate." After a moment, she sighed softly, her face full of worry, and shook her head worriedly.

"It seems we have to change direction. We are thousands of miles deep and the danger is immeasurable. Is there any news from other team members?" Shi Chen said, frowning and lost in thought.

"According to Zhang Hao, only Tu Wu has disappeared. The other team members have all returned to the human front. Only he and Zeng Tieniu can continue to participate in the battle. Zhao Fang and Fatty Yu were both seriously injured and haven't recovered in several years. They are still recovering from their injuries."

"Alas! This war for the human race is very brutal. Now we have to bypass the blockade of the Siren Clan before we can return to the human camp. But should we go around to the north or to the south?" Shi Chen asked, his face full of worry, recalling the map of Dongzhizhou.

"You decide. However, it's extremely cold in the north. It's the beginning of winter now. If we enter the Xuanhan Territory, our magical tools might be frozen and damaged. I suggest you head south."

"Going south, we'll reach the southern tip of Dongzhizhou. We'll need to go out to sea and bypass the Siren's front line. We might have to pass through Baowan Island or enter Xiqiongzhou before we can turn back to Dongzhizhou."

"Although the journey is long, this is a relatively safe route back to the human race."

"We will proceed along this route. You can ask Zhang Hao about the battle situation in the past five years since we separated." Shi Chen said with a firm look.

"Okay, I'll ask him now."

"Ask him in detail about the Sirens' movements since we were forced to flee into the Sea of Demons, as well as the human race's defensive strategies. If he can't get any information from the military, tell him about the battles or wars that took place during that time."

"I'll ask for details. Given his military position, it's unlikely he'll be able to obtain much information from the military. But the war between the human race and the siren clan will be reported to the entire front."

"Let's see how much information he can get. If the main force of the Siren Clan is in the south, we can only find a place to hide temporarily and wait for the opportunity to return to the human camp."

"He's currently scouting six or seven thousand miles west of East Sea Immortal City. The Sirens shouldn't be gathering in the south. They might be concentrating their forces to break through the center and shatter our defensive lines."

"That's also possible. The commander-in-chief of the Siren Clan this time has a very sharp war strategy."

After waiting for an hour, she finally received a message from Zhang Hao. Liang Ruyan briefly checked it and passed it to Shi Chen, then steered the flying boat south.
