My Silly, Sweet Wife
Chapter 718 718 Pursuit
"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing Ye Guichen jump into the sea, Murong became anxious.
The others had no choice but to follow Ye Guichen's instructions.
Gongsun Fengying wiped off the shark blood from her face and glanced at Murong: "No one from Vermilion Bird Tower should get off the ship. Guard the ship. I'm going to check it out as well!"
With that, she quickly jumped into the sea, chasing after Ye Guichen.
She also realized the key point of the problem.
Especially when considering the sound of the flute just now, it seems these sharks are indeed controlled by someone.
If we want to survive this time, killing these sharks is completely useless.
The number of sharks in the sea is countless.
As the scent of blood spreads farther, more sharks will only swim over, making it impossible to kill them all.
To solve the problem, we must find the person controlling the sharks and eliminate them to have a glimmer of hope.
Su Wu and Lu Bu exchanged glances and both realized this issue.
"Let's go! Today, we'll have a race to see who can find and kill that bastard first!"
Su Wu and Lu Bu also quickly jumped into the water.
Before jumping off the ship, Su Wu directly ordered: "Everyone gather around the big ship of Vermilion Bird Tower, do not go alone to kill sharks, now the priority is to protect the ship!"
Su Wu clearly knew that what Ye Guichen said just now was right.
The urgency is not about killing as many sharks as possible but about preserving the ship first.
Once all the ships are destroyed, they would face nothing but a dead end.
The remaining less than sixty people quickly moved towards Vermilion Bird Tower's ship, encircling it in the blink of an eye.
They didn't need any deliberate orders. Their combat awareness far exceeded that of ordinary people, almost instantly achieving unprecedented coordination.
Mingled among the crowd, Zongsheng's face was gloomy.
He was also panicked and lost just now and even secretly thought whether he should take advantage of the opportunity to kill Ye Guichen.
However, on second thought, now was not the opportunity.
According to the agreed plan, if Ye Guichen could find Caesar, even if he couldn't kill Caesar, as long as both were severely injured, he could easily take action then.
But the current situation far exceeded expectations.
Apart from experts like Gongsun Fengying and Su Mu, it's uncertain whether Ye Guichen could find Caesar.
The key is whether they can find Caesar alive, which is entirely another matter.
Zongsheng knew that Kui Long must be secretly following behind and would join him once they reached Atlantis.
But in this situation, even if Kui Long came, it would be of no avail.
At that time, they might all be wiped out.
Plans couldn't keep up with the changes!
"Damn it!"
Zongsheng cursed under his breath and adjusted the eyepatch on his left eye, his gaze falling on Murong.
From the very beginning, Zongsheng had been observing Murong and now vaguely guessed Murong's identity, which definitely surpassed Wang Ying and Jiang Long.
Even if he didn't know Murong's specific identity, her family background was definitely not simple.
Zongsheng originally wanted to remain unnoticed and not attract attention, but now was the best time to showcase himself.
If he could heroically save Murong this time, should Murong favor him, even if he couldn't kill Ye Guichen and Caesar, he could still reach great heights.
By then, it would benefit both himself and the entire Martial Arts Association.
Of course, all this was premised on them leaving alive.
But now, there was no time for Zongsheng to think too much.
Anyway, the other organizations were guarding the perimeter, so they were safer.
After hesitating for a moment, Zongsheng quickly moved in front of Murong: "Senior Sister Murong, don't worry, I will protect you!"
Murong was anxiously looking at the spot where Ye Guichen dove into the water, not having seen Ye Guichen come out for quite some time, her heart burning with anxiety. Suddenly, she saw Zongsheng appear, glanced at him, and politely nodded: "Thank you."
"Senior Sister Murong, rest assured, that Ye Guichen values his life very much and won't get into trouble." Wang Ying also looked at Zongsheng, seeing Murong's anxious appearance, and comforted.
Murong was the type with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Having been saved by Ye Guichen from the shark's mouth just now, her impression of Ye Guichen had completely changed.
Added to Ye Guichen's steadiness and earlier thorough analysis, a strange sentiment unknowingly spread in her heart.
Especially seeing Ye Guichen dive into the sea regardless of life and death, her heart felt as if a stone had been thrown in, instantly causing ripples that were hard to calm.
"Wang Ying, if someone is really controlling the sharks, that person must be very powerful. Can they handle it?" Murong asked, still gazing at the sea surface, seemingly waiting for a miracle.
Wang Ying opened her mouth, suddenly not knowing how to comfort her.
The dangers in the sea are definitely more perilous than what can be seen on the surface, especially with so many sharks around, the chances of anyone surviving down there are very small.
"They should be able to. After all, they are the top experts among us!" Wang Ying also became nervous, not even believing her own words.
Meanwhile, after diving into the sea, Ye Guichen immediately pulled out the Golden Snake Dagger obtained from King Yan.
Although he could use his internal energy, this energy wasn't inexhaustible.
At such a crucial time, conserving energy was natural.
As soon as he entered the water, several sharks swam towards Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen didn't hesitate, wielding the Golden Snake Dagger and slashing down directly, transforming into a stream of light, kicking off the water, and rapidly darting forward.
Sharks encountered were inevitably skinned and torn.
Following behind, Gongsun Fengying was about to join Ye Guichen in fighting the sharks, but before she could reach him, she saw Ye Guichen already speeding off, moving at an incredible pace, as if the water resistance had no effect on him.
"So fast!" Gongsun Fengying was startled, not understanding how Ye Guichen could move so quickly underwater but still giving her best to chase after him.
While chasing and fighting, she occasionally surfaced for air but had no time to rest.
Su Wu and Lu Bu did the same.
Although they didn't know where Ye Guichen was headed, they subconsciously deemed Ye Guichen as their backbone, especially seeing him darting underwater, and quickly followed.
Having lived in the deep mountains since childhood and traveled numerous places with his master, Ye Guichen was naturally adept in water.
Moreover, to train Ye Guichen, Li Fengxian would often throw him into medicinal baths for hours.
Ye Guichen also took the opportunity to practice holding his breath. Although he couldn't achieve the terrifying feat of holding his breath for an hour, half an hour was entirely manageable.
Now with internal energy in his body, Ye Guichen's underwater activities were naturally unhindered.
Ye Guichen directed two streams of energy to his eyes, making his vision clear, allowing him to easily discern the underwater situation.
He swam towards the direction where the flute sound came from.
After just a few minutes, having killed countless sharks, and swimming several kilometers, Ye Guichen finally saw a massive shark, two to three dozen meters long.
The shark stared coldly at the direction Ye Guichen came from, like a king of the water.
On the shark's back, there was a faint silhouette.
Compared to the shark's size, the silhouette was naturally trivial.
But it couldn't escape Ye Guichen's keen eyes.
"Indeed!" Ye Guichen thought to himself, accelerating even more.
