Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 240 Sea Storm
"According to what that person said, this place is still two days away from Jinlong Island."

"I use my true energy to propel the oars, and the speed in the sea is faster than the boats. It should only take one day to reach Jinlong Island."

Huan Chang thought so, but his face was still very solemn.

It's no wonder that Huan Chang is like this, using his true energy to push the oars and sail in the sea for a day.

For Huan Chang's current state, it is still a bit too reluctant, and it is likely that he will not be able to last that long.

Time passed slowly, and half a day passed in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, Huan Chang felt abnormally exhausted, and the true energy in his body was almost exhausted.

"It can't go on like this."

Feeling the emptiness in his body, he shook his dizzy head, and Huan Chang's head was running fast, thinking about countermeasures.

He glanced around, seeing the vast ocean.

Suddenly, Huan Chang saw the oars under his feet, and his eyes lit up.

"The oars are made of wood. Even if no one controls them, they can still float in the sea. If I use the lightness technique, I don't know if I can sit on the oars and rest."

Huan Chang did it when he thought of it, and immediately used the lightness technique, and then slowly withdrew his true energy, and found that the oars were actually still floating.

Seeing this, Huan couldn't help being overjoyed.

He carefully sat cross-legged on the oars, both buttocks were wet by sea water, but Huan Chang seemed to have never heard of it.

"Exercising the lightness technique consumes less physical strength and true energy than manipulating a paddle."

Huan Chang crazily absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth to replenish the consumption in his body, and at the same time his body began to relax, slowly recovering his spirit and physical strength.

At this time, he did not continue to control the oars, and let the oars stay on the sea.

Occasionally, when the sea breeze blows, the oars will drift with the current, but Huan Chang remains unmoved and slowly adjusts his breath.

An hour passed slowly.

Huan Chang, who had closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and regained some energy on his face.

Now Huan Chang's true energy has fully recovered.

It's just that the physical strength and mental energy consumed are not so easy to replenish.

"Grumble."

At this moment, the stomach growled.

Huan Chang couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought that all the silver and dry food in the baggage had fallen on the boat and had sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago.

"If you want to fully recover your strength, you can't do without eating."

For warriors, physical strength, spirit, and true energy are indispensable.

Physical strength needs to be supplemented by food, and the spirit needs sleep and relaxation to be stored, and true energy can be recovered through meditation.

Now Huanchang has no food at all, so naturally it is impossible to replenish his physical strength.

"The sea is so big, I can catch some fish and eat it."

As soon as he thought about it, Huan Chang immediately stood on the oars, spreading out his perception, and catching the whereabouts of sea fish.

"There's a big fish over there."

Soon, Huan Chang's face showed joy.

He used lightness kung fu to rush in one direction, pulled out Zhanlu and stabbed it into the water.

"Unexpectedly, it didn't get stabbed!"

Zhan Lu missed the shot, but the sea fish was frightened and dived desperately towards the deep sea.

Huan Chang ignored the fleeing sea fish and flew back to the oars, staring blankly at Zhan Lu in his hand.

"How is it possible, how is it possible?"

Huan Chang muttered to himself, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

With Huan Chang's current martial arts skills, not to mention an ordinary sea fish, even warriors of the same realm can't escape Zhan Lu's attack.

However, the fish escaped.

"I was clearly stabbing at the sea fish just now, and I didn't deflect the direction at all."

Huan Chang couldn't figure it out, and simply went to another sea fishbone again, but returned empty-handed.

Huan Chang's complexion became more and more ugly.

He sat cross-legged on the oars, thought for a long time without coming up with an answer, and then plunged Zhanlu into the sea water.

"Ok?"

Huan Chang looked at Zhan Lu who seemed to be broken, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

Lift it up, stick it in, lift it up, stick it in...

Huan Chang tried many times, and finally found that his eyes saw something in the water, and his position was slightly deflected.

"Zhan Lu is obviously a little below, but what I see seems to be broken and shifted toward the top."

Huan Chang didn't know that this was the phenomenon of refraction of light between different transparent media.

It's just that Huan Chang has realized something.

"Try again."

Huan Chang exuded his perception again, then flew towards a certain direction, and stabbed down fiercely with his sword.

"Pfft!"

This time, Huan Chang didn't aim at the fish precisely, instead he stabbed under the fish with his sword, and he really hit the sea fish.

"It is so!"

Huan couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw the situation, and quickly turned back and flew to the oars.

The sea fish was quickly cleaned up by Huan Chang. Although there was no fire in the sea, Huan Chang used his true energy to still cook the fish.

It's just that Huan Chang didn't care about the taste of sea fish, but always considered the issue of refraction.

"Can this kind of thing be mixed into martial arts?"

Huan Chang has a very high level of comprehension, and his associations quickly diverge.

If the attack can confuse the attacked enemy like refraction, there will definitely be unexpected effects.

Just imagine, if the opponent saw the sword coming and hurriedly took out his weapon to resist, but found that the real killing move was behind, what would happen?

For the next half a day, Huan Chang kept thinking about the principle of refraction while driving towards Jinlong Island.

He is talented and intelligent, even if he has not been exposed to these things, he still slowly figured out the principle.

"I see!"

Although Huan Chang felt tired, there was a smile on his face.

"Is the sun going down?"

Seeing that the sun was getting farther and farther away, and there was no shadow of Jinlong Island around, Huan Chang's expression changed slightly.

As night comes, without the sun to guide the direction, Huan Chang is likely to get lost in the sea.

"How to do?"

Huan Chang felt anxious and continued to explore the principle of refraction regardless of his past.

Time passed slowly, night had fallen, Huan Chang did not dare to continue driving in the dark, and could only stay where he was.

The long night, alone in the sea, is a scary thing.

Fortunately, Huan Chang had a firm mind, so he reluctantly sat cross-legged on the oars and began to recover the true energy in his body.

"Boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, the sea surface, which was originally blowing with a gentle sea breeze, suddenly became choppy.

The fierce sea wind howled, rolled up huge waves, and directly threw Huan Chang off the oars.

"Oar!"

Huan Chang was overturned by the waves, and the oars disappeared immediately. Huan Chang roared loudly, and his eyes showed anxiety.

Oars are Huan Chang's only support in the sea.

If the oars are swept away by the waves, even though Huan Chang can survive the storm, he will still be buried in the sea in the end.

However, even though Huan Chang struggled desperately to find the oars, he was still powerless.

"Boom!"

The sea breeze was raging and the waves were rough. Huan Chang struggled desperately, but felt that his physical strength and true energy were being consumed faster and faster.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Swallowed by the waves again, Huan Chang struggled to surface and spit out a few mouthfuls of seawater, feeling that he had no strength left.

"Am I going to die here?"
