Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 44

He hadn't considered going to the island.

Swim so far just to satisfy your curiosity?

But after wandering around without any results, he found that his curiosity seemed to be more vigorous?
So he deliberately spent another half an hour climbing to the mountain and climbing the tree, just to take advantage of the height and peep at the small island from afar.

He has a telescope.

This telescope, obtained from An Cangmo, is indeed no less than an artifact on the deserted island.

If he could figure out in advance that there was something worth exploring on the island, why didn't he just swim there?

But binoculars are not everything.

At least it can't see through.

Tall trees obscured the landscape of the island, preventing him from further peeking.

He wants to go and see.

Because he felt that without a telescope, the small island would not be found under normal circumstances.

Does this situation meet the definition of the word "hidden"?
Hidden tasks.

This is possible.

To take a step back, he was thinking too much. There was nothing there, and it was nothing more than a waste of an afternoon, which was acceptable.

After making up his mind, Wu Chen went down the mountain.

He hid all his clothes and costumes in a nearby place.

Then wearing only a pair of underwear, came to the coast again.

He's going to swim across.

His swimming level is still good, much better than his basketball level.

His hometown is a county below Jiangzhou.

There are many rivers in the county town, and he often played in the rivers when he was a child.

It's just that the wind and waves on this sea seem to be a bit strong, which is obviously far beyond the difficulty of swimming in the river.

However, he is not afraid.

Wu Chen sprinted towards the beach on the coast, and at the end of the rush, he plunged into the sea.

Suddenly the whole body was surrounded by warm sea water.

It is noon now, and the temperature of the sea is just right, not bad.

In order to avoid some hidden reefs by the sea, he swam very slowly when leaving the shore until he entered a deep water area.

He raised his head, used a breaststroke posture, vigorously raised his arms, and rowed towards the small island.

When he looked through the binoculars, he estimated that there were a few kilometers, but now that he really went to swim there, I did it. These few kilometers feel farther than dozens of kilometers on land!

It is also a pity that the ocean current is oblique at this position, so he cannot rely on the help of the ocean current, and it takes a lot of effort.

At this time, there was a "wow", and a big wave slapped over his head, submerging Wu Chen's head exposed on the ocean in an instant.

He closed his eyes, but some of the salty seawater still flowed into his mouth.

"Pooh!"

When the waves rushed over, he shook his head vigorously to wash away the seawater on his face, then stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and spat out the seawater in his mouth vigorously.

But inevitably, he drank some seawater and went in.

Drinking seawater will not only consume more water in the body, but also has a certain degree of toxicity, so it must not be drunk.

But fortunately, he is a practitioner of the "Shi Ming Jing" after all.

Seawater is actually rich in minerals.

If his cultivation base can advance to the middle stage of food essence, then drinking a small amount of sea water is no problem, not only is it harmless to him, but it also has certain benefits.

watery.

Drinking water can cultivate water quality.

This is the mystery that belongs only to the practitioners of the "Food Brightness Sutra".

Of course, this effect is relatively subtle, and in the short term, it is not obvious.

And Wu Chen's cultivation is still too low.

If he can advance to the late stage of food essence, he can eat seawater as candy, and the effect of cultivating water quality will be further improved.

Now with his cultivation level at the early stage of Food Essence, it is still relatively difficult to drink sea water, so try not to drink it.

At this time, Wu Chen felt a little tired.

I saw that he started to stand sideways, stroked his arms forward and backward respectively in the water, and with a kick of his feet, he advanced a certain distance in the sea.

This posture is called "side stroke".

Different from competitive swimming strokes, this is a practical swimming stroke.

This posture has two advantages when swimming in the sea.

First of all, because of this posture, except for the head, the whole body is in the water, so no matter how strong the wind and waves are at sea, it will have little impact on yourself.

Secondly, this posture is the most labor-saving swimming posture, which is most suitable for long-distance swimming and weight-bearing swimming.

Wu Chen slowly approached the small island in a side-stroke posture.

But to be honest, swimming in the sea is more than ten times more difficult than swimming in a gentle river.

If he hadn't completed the "Food Brightness Sutra" and greatly improved his physical fitness, with his original physical fitness, he would definitely not be able to support such a long-distance swimming in the sea.

But suddenly,

Just when everything was going smoothly, Wu Chen glanced across the sea from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his whole body trembled, as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, and his heartbeat almost stopped.

A gust of cold air made his entire face turn livid.

What kind of monster is that!
The sunlight shines out, a huge figure looming under the sea!

Its raised dorsal fin parted the surface of the sea, and it was rushing straight towards him!
Wu Chen almost subconsciously turned his head around crazily, not caring about saving effort, swimming crazily in a freestyle posture, in the same direction as when going back and forth.

"Escape, escape!"

His whole mind was already surrounded by a feeling of panic.

It's really hard for people to stay calm in this situation.

Once bitten by that monster, I am afraid that his small body will be confessed in the sea.

He would rather die in a fight with pirates than just be buried in the belly of a fish!

Adrenaline was pumping rapidly.

Amid his heavy breathing, his heartbeat increased, his blood flow accelerated, and the combination of oxygen and glucose accelerated, providing his muscles with more power to move. This allowed his swimming speed to exceed his usual limit.

However, not far away, the monster's streamlined body under the water appeared even clearer!
It's still getting closer!
Goddamn beast!
But Wu Chen didn't dare to provoke it at all!
Because it's in the sea!
On land, he naturally has the courage to fight it!
But he has absolutely no hands-on experience in the sea!
In the deep water of this ocean, swimming is already exhausting, let alone fighting a dangerous monster in this ocean!
Even if it wins by chance, as long as it is bitten by that monster, he will at least be seriously injured.

If the injury is at a critical point, such as an arm, he can't even hold a bow, how can he fight pirates!
Don't be impulsive, absolutely not impulsive!
Escape, must escape now!

Wu Chen forced himself to calm down.

His two arms are like two big oars, swiping the sea surface alternately, moving forward at extreme speed amidst the huge waves turning up!
Stimulated by the crisis of life and death, great strength burst out from his whole body!

But the monster in the sea is still chasing it like it is a prey!

After all, it is a creature in the ocean. In terms of swimming speed, it is of course faster than humans!

During this pursuit and escape, the distance between life and death is constantly getting closer!

That's too late!

Wu Chen found out in panic that at this speed, he would be caught up and eaten by this monster in the sea before he swam to the coast!
