"But that doesn't mean we're safe..." I said with a wry smile.
As long as these monsters aren't dealt with, there will be a knot in my heart.
I've always disliked having any danger around me.
If there's an enemy, I eliminate them immediately. Being watched by an enemy makes me extremely uncomfortable, unable to sleep soundly.
So, I must find a way to get rid of all these monsters.
However, it's clear that with my current strength and abilities, dealing with these monsters is impossible.
After roughly determining a direction, the two of us quickly swam forward.
There were no boats, and we didn't have time to make a raft. Fortunately, after our cultivation, our physical condition had improved significantly, so swimming at this speed wouldn't be too tiring.
I originally thought that traveling by swimming would be somewhat safer, but I didn't expect there to be danger in the sea as well.
After my previous battles, both of us were injured to varying degrees, and our wounds had not fully healed.
Entering the seawater, the wounds were soaked, causing unbearable pain.
However, we both knew that the situation was dire and didn't dwell on it.
But blood from our wounds flowed into the seawater.
We hadn't been swimming for long when I suddenly felt something was wrong.
I abruptly turned around and saw a terrifying sight.
Behind us, at least five sharks were slowly approaching.
"Sharks!" I shouted loudly.
Lin Chun also noticed the anomaly. He turned around sharply and his face turned pale upon seeing the sharks.
"Accelerate!" I commanded sternly.
Lin Chun nodded and simultaneously increased his swimming speed.
But it was clear that no matter how fast we swam in the water, we couldn't outpace the sharks.
Upon realizing we were trying to escape, the five sharks immediately swam towards us, preparing to attack.
Without a word, I drew my short sword and, seizing an opportunity, lunged at one of the sharks.
However, my movements were greatly hindered in the water. This strike didn't kill the shark directly but only made the sharks more ferocious.
They rushed forward, their gaping mouths opening to bite.
Lin Chun was also in a bad situation, his heart pounding with fear at the sight of the sharks.
In his panic, he almost got bitten by a shark.
I knew very well that if we continued to fight in this place, we would eventually be worn down and killed by these sharks.
But we couldn't go ashore right now.
"What do we do..." I tried to calm myself down and analyze the situation.
I had to find a way to eliminate these sharks and then see if there was a place to rest.
Lin Chun, his face pale, seemed to have an idea. He looked at me and said, "Lu Ge... I have an idea..."
"Spit it out!" I said while dodging the sharks' attacks.
"I'll do it... but I'm not sure if I'll end up hurting you..." Lin Chun replied.
Hearing this, I understood what he intended to do.
"Just do it, don't worry about anything else!" I shouted.
Lin Chun nodded, dodged an attack from a shark, and swam directly towards the center of the shark pack.
Seeing a prey willingly entering their encirclement, the five sharks, excited, surrounded him and prepared to enjoy their delicious meal.
At this moment, the Shepherd God Power surged from Lin Chun's body.
"Zzzt..."
A faint crackle of electricity intensified, and in the next instant, a terrifying current erupted from Lin Chun's body!
The surrounding sharks were instantly affected by the current.
Feeling the current in the water, I slowly exhaled. I was completely unaffected.
It seemed my guess was correct. My body had also integrated some power of lightning.
Now, the power I could wield was not just fire, but also lightning, and lightning and fire had perfectly merged...
Therefore, my body could now withstand this current.
Lin Chun had unleashed most of the Shepherd God Power in his body, and the intensity of the lightning had reached its peak. The remaining power in his body was only enough for him to swim back to shore.
But it was clear that this amount of current alone was not enough to kill all these sharks!
"Damn it!" Lin Chun gritted his teeth, preparing to use all the remaining power in his body.
"Don't be rash!" I shouted, "Leave the rest to me!"
Lin Chun paused, and the next moment, lightning carrying flames spread from my body!
Lightning and fire spread outwards simultaneously. The sharks not only had arcs of electricity flickering on them but also flames burning fiercely!
