Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 424 - 191: The Ancient Whale and the Female Warrior God (Part 2)

Chapter 424: Chapter 191: The Ancient Whale and the Female Warrior God (Part 2)

This fishing boat is not large; it is neither for fishing nor for passengers. Judging from its structure and the smooth curves of the bow, it is primarily used for ocean shuttling and exploration.

Two flags hang at the top of the cabin, one representing the ship’s owner "Moon-piercing Hall" and the other bearing the emblem of the Luo Family from the Everlasting Realm.

This indicates that the fishing boat is contracted by the Luo Family from the Moon-piercing Hall.

Apart from sailors and crew, everyone else on the ship is from the Luo Family.

In the spacious and bright cockpit, Fu Manman wore a dark cyan outfit, tailored and decorated for practicality and simplicity. Her long hair, usually let down, was tied up high in a graceful bun, exuding a touch of casual elegance.

The entire fishing boat was at her service. She decided where to go and how fast to proceed.

Initially, the sailors doubted whether this mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl could take command, especially since this was a high-performance fishing boat sailing in the perilous Sea of Eternal Life.

The fact that this young commander was going out to sea for the first time made doubt intertwine with nervousness.

However, Fu Manman soon impressed them. In less than half a month, she became familiar with all affairs onboard the fishing boat, from the cockpit to the engine room.

Her greatest skill was her exceptional ability to discern environmental changes. She could always accurately avoid various marine hazards like deep-sea whirlpools, storms of energy, drifting disaster clouds, and hordes of beasts, while never missing opportunities such as Spirit Fish tides, natural wonders, and Gathering Spirit vortices...

These were abilities that many seasoned sailors did not possess.

Moreover, she was exceptionally generous, allowing the crew and servicemen to take whatever marine opportunities and treasures came their way.

Even without considering her status as their sponsor, everyone respected her with admiration.

Having a skill to avoid danger and seek out fortune in the Sea of Eternal Life is crucially important.

After confirming the sailing plan for the next few days with the navigator, Fu Manman left the helm. She climbed up a spiral staircase to the topmost observation deck of the fishing boat, leaned against the railing, and gazed at the endless expanse of ocean, letting out a sigh.

With what seems to be a path related to the "Sun", navigating safely in the Sea of Eternal Life is basically not an issue.

But what is this trial of the "Eternal Life" really about?

Her brow furrowed, and her eyelids drooped slightly, as her mood was quite subdued.

For the past two months, she had been pondering the so-called eternal life, reading through various classics and scriptures given to her by Luo Tianyuan. Luo Tianyuan had even specially gathered a collection of insights and experiences from renowned predecessors regarding the pursuit of eternal life.

She read them all, more than once.

Yet she remained clueless.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty, thinking, "Am I too foolish... The great-grandfather of the Luo Family has done so much for me, yet I’ve gained nothing. I truly feel ashamed towards him..."

If only it were as simple as cultivation.

She looked at the old man on the lower deck wearing a fisherman’s outfit and holding a bamboo fishing rod, knitting her brows slightly and muttering to herself:

"With the fishing boat moving so fast, can he really catch any fish with such a crude rod...?"

This old fisherman had been on board since they set off. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Fu Manman assumed he was from the fishing boat side, while the fishing boat crew assumed he was from her side.

The old fisherman fished by day and slept at night, with a very regular routine, yet he never caught a single fish.

Fu Manman’s hair framing her face fluttered in the wind, giving her a somewhat lazy look.

She patted her face, reviving her spirits, thinking, if this old fisherman persists every day without catching a single fish, how can I give up so easily?

Bang!

A massive collision exploded in Fu Manman’s ears, followed by the fierce shaking of the fishing boat, as chaotic and violent energy surged around.

Her heart tightened. Had they hit a turbulent energy flow? That couldn’t be right; according to the "Sun’s" instructions, this route was supposed to be smooth sailing.

She quickly went to the cockpit and asked, "What’s going on? Did we hit something?"

The navigator was busy operating the controls but reassured, "Don’t worry, Miss Fu, we didn’t hit anything. We were just lifted by a turbulent energy flow, but we’ll stabilize soon."

The pilot suddenly shouted, "Look over there!"

Everyone in the cockpit followed his gaze.

They saw a giant black whale, its body as large as a small mountain, leaping skyward with its vast mouth facing the full moon above, seeming as if it intended to swallow the moon whole. The giant whale let out a cry, a desolate, ethereal sound mingled with a sense of anger.

"That’s a Canggu Whale!"

The creatures in the Sea of Eternal Life are mostly wild beasts, not demonic beasts.

The most notable feature of wild beasts is their low intelligence and high aggression, akin to wild animals with cultivation.

Due to the rich resources of the sea bed and strong vitality, a primal ecology of "big fish eat little fish" prevails, allowing wild beasts to typically grow extraordinarily large.

At a glance, this Canggu Whale ahead measured twelve miles long, its surrounding energy turbulent, fierce, and heavy. It was precisely this energy that had lifted the fishing boat.

Fu Manman was quite surprised that a Canggu Whale of such colossal size could leap entirely out of the water; it must have required immense power.

Of course, human wisdom and action are boundless.

Such Canggu Whales are usually targets for large fishing fleets.

Just as Fu Manman was about to order a course change, she suddenly sensed something amiss.
