Chapter 144: Stone Statues on the Desert Island
On the South Sea.
The surging waves beat the bottom of the boat from time to time, making the small boat sway from side to side.
On the deck at the bow, where Lu Heng used to rest, a Bo horse was resting there.
The Bo horse was now lying on the edge of the deck, with its soft and long tongue sticking out, as if it were dead.
With the swaying of the boat, the Bo horse twitched from time to time. Then in a painful retching sound, it vomited viscous acid water into the sea, but it had no strength to complain.
Just along the sea breeze, from time to time, there came a strange sound of deep weakness. The strange low voice is dark and evil which makes people feel gloomy.
Lu Heng was curious and asked, "What is the Bo horse talking about?"
Huo Feng, who was checking the state of the ship, looked up and said, "Oh, nothing. He is scolding me."
Huo Feng said, "Don't pay attention to it. He probably won't have the strength to scold me after vomiting a while longer."
"…" Looking at the unconcerned appearance of Huo Feng, Lu Heng didn't know how to evaluate the relationship between the two.
It could only be said that if the Bo horse was able to speak, the boat would be very busy at this time.
Smiling and shaking his head, Lu Heng walked to the second deck and ignored them.
It has been a day since they left Nanhai City.
Drifting on the sea was more boring than Lu Heng had imagined.
Although it was the first time that Lu Heng saw the real sea, he was not as excited as he imagined when he saw the blue sea and sky under the sun.
Although the vast ocean was deep and beautiful, it became boring after a long look.
Although the journey was boring, Lu Heng didn't start to cultivate.
Now he was lying on the edge of the second-floor deck, lazily basking in the sun, watching this tiny boat move forward in the vast sea.
On the vast ocean, even under the calm and hot sun, the ups and downs of the sea waves are far from comparable to those on rivers.
When a small ship is traveling, it always makes people feel that it will be overturned when encountering even a little strong wind and waves.
However, with two cultivators Lu Heng and Xiao Ai here, they didn't have to worry about capsizing.
Lu Heng was lying on the deck, bored and daydreaming. He had long been out of his mind and never tried to cultivate his skills.
His breakthrough got stuck and enlightenment was at impasse for several days. So Lu Heng just didn't want to cultivate.
Anyway, as a demon cultivator, he had a long lifespan, so lazing around for half a month or so wouldn't affect much.
In such a leisurely trance, Lu Heng's boat gradually left the sea area of Nanhai City.
In the afternoon, a lonely island appeared in the sea ahead.
The island was not big, but there was a huge stone statue standing on it. Lu Heng roughly estimated that the stone statue was nearly 50 meters high.
Such a huge stone statue stood silently on the island. Like a silent god, it stood silently on the blue waves of the South Sea, looking down on the ships.
Huo Feng explained, "That is Fenjiezhou Island. The stone statue on it is from ancient times. Even before the establishment of the Fire Pass Country, that stone statue has been standing on the island. I don't know what kind of statue it is. Even after thousands of years, it is still lifelike."
"The territory south of this island is no longer part of the Fire Pass Country, but rather the true region of the South Sea."
"It is said that Fenjiezhou Island has a Demon Restraining Order left by the ancestors of the Fire Pass Country, which can deter evil demons. Therefore, many evil water demons on the South Sea never dare to cross the Fenjiezhou Island."
"And many fishermen in the South Sea, even if they were to venture further out to fish, they would not veer too far away from this island."
Huo Feng explained carefully, but Lu Heng didn't answer him this time.
In the hot afternoon sun, Lu Heng, who appeared as a wolf, stood on the deck and looked at the huge stone statue on the island in the distance with amazement. He was so shocked that even Huo Feng could clearly feel it.
"Lord Wolf?" Huo Feng gave a slightly confused call, but he still didn't get a response.
The huge white wolf stared at the huge stone statue on the remote island and his eyes opened, trying to find something special.
However, under his magic eyes, the stone statue on the isolated island was silent and ordinary. But the surface of the statue was full of traces left by wind, sun, and rain. As it was ancient and has gone through many years.
Lu Heng's eyes remained silent for a long time.
The huge stone statue on the island was that of a woman with the upper body of a human and lower body of a snake.
The sculptor who created this stone statue had excellent craftsmanship. Even if it was just an ordinary stone sculpture, it still had a stunning beauty that couldn't be ignored.
It was as if there was a woman with a snake's tail standing quietly among the blue waves, looking down at the sea coldly.
Above the deck, Lu Heng's head tilted slightly and looked at the stone statue in the distance quietly.
At that moment, he seemed to have crossed thousands of years and looked at someone in ancient times.
Nuwa… (Translator: Nuwa is a goddess who created humans in Chinese mythology. Since this is another world, there should be no story about her. So Lu Heng was surprised.)
This name appeared in Lu Heng's mind.
However, according to Lu Heng's understanding of legends and myths, there was no such stories of Nuwa in this world.
In this world, there weren't any gods similar to her.
This world bore more similarities to the primordial world recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
But the huge stone statue on the sea…
Lu Heng looked at the huge stone statue on the island and said nothing.
The small boat silently approached the island.
The closer they got, the more they could feel the magnitude of stone statue on the island. The sea boat was not small, but when it passed under the right arm of the statue, it was as small as a child's toy.
Huo Feng walked up carefully and asked, "Lord Wolf, do we need to stop temporarily?"
This time, Lu Heng finally responded to him.
On the deck, the huge white wolf shook his head and said, "No, it's just an ordinary stone statue. I can't see anything."
His eyes had already searched everything around the stone statue.
However, nothing was found.
It really was just a simple stone statue.
Perhaps in ancient times, there was an emotional story behind this stone statue.
But now, she was just a stone statue that didn't even leave a legend behind.
The fishermen on the South Sea didn't know her story or even her name.
Even Lu Heng was not sure that this snake tailed woman was really that legendary god.
Perhaps it's just a snake demon from ancient times?
