Chapter 61 Blood-Colored Eyes

Although Jingyan felt some pain from the cut on his arm, he obediently complied, valuing his life above all else.

Fresh blood flowed from the cut onto the deck.

Soon, the crimson liquid gradually became viscous, like mucus, faintly merging with the deck.

Jingyan felt something inside him flowing out through the wound with gurgling sounds.

The sensation was mysterious, yet undeniably real.

At that moment, Jingyan couldn't even feel his own existence. He felt like a river, like a lake! Merging with this giant Cold River ship.

Just then, Qing Chen picked up a hot wooden board and used the heat to sever the part of Jingyan that was connected to the blood on the deck.

Jingyan shuddered and abruptly regained his senses, panting heavily and feeling disoriented.

"How do you feel?"

Hearing Qing Chen's words, Jingyan noticed his surroundings and gradually regained consciousness.

"I... I'm not sure..."

Before Jingyan could finish speaking, his eyes widened as he stared at the deck where the liquid had been connected.

He saw blood-colored eyes slowly emerging from the deck, densely packed.

But soon, as if encountering something, these blood-colored eyes melted away and merged with the deck, showing no further reaction.

The others naturally saw this scene as well.

"It's working!" Fang Yue affirmed.

Whether it was an illusion or wishful thinking, Jingyan felt a sense of relief upon seeing this.

"Qing Chen, continue! Drive all the blood-colored eyes in my body to the deck!"

"No problem!"

Qing Chen was even more interested in this than Jingyan, the person involved.

Seeing that progress was being made, Fang Yue pulled Tian Ruichi aside.

"Does Elder Helmsman have any weaknesses? You're the closest to Elder Helmsman among us. Try to probe for information. Remember, don't reveal your intentions. After all, we're still on his ship. It wouldn't be difficult for him to throw us overboard, so this needs to be done discreetly."

"...I'll try tomorrow and see if I can get any information."

They absolutely had to return to Jing City.

Everyone agreed on this point.

But besides being eager to go to Jing City, the more important reason was that no one knew what the situation was with the Blazing Fire Sect.

In Jing City, under the Emperor's feet, everyone had to follow the rules on the surface.

But in a place like the Blazing Fire Sect, anything could happen.

Fang Yue thought of Lord Qi Ba Jiu's letter about the Blazing Fire Sect. If they really became enemies with the Blazing Fire Sect, this letter might be used to test the waters.

Although the Cold River Ship had deviated from its course, it had only just begun to deviate. Because Jing City and the Blazing Fire Sect were not far apart, only a few days' journey, and from the perspective of the Cold River Wharf, the two general directions were the same.

Moreover, it would take another day or two for a major deviation to occur. By then, it would take a lot of time to make up for the lost time.

Therefore, they still had time.

Seeing that Tian Ruichi looked exhausted, Fang Yue told him to go back and rest and discuss the matter in detail in the morning.

When he returned to Jingyan's side, Jingyan was lying on the deck in a large, sprawled position, falling asleep.

"What's the situation?"

"He's anemic. I'm feeding him medicine. Don't worry, Yue-ge. Everything is under control."

Qing Chen's competence made Fang Yue feel somewhat idle.

After thinking for a moment, he left everything here to Qing Chen and went back to his room to take medicine and repair his injuries.

A night passed quickly.

The next morning, Fang Yue was standing at the bow of the ship, watching the sunrise.

The beautiful sunrise slowly rose from the horizon. Fang Yue was moved by this scene, and the magnificent sunrise energy made him feel a strong urge to do something.

So, he yawned.

"..." Tian Ruichi, who witnessed all of this from behind, didn't know what to say.

Fang Yue, after yawning, stretched and went back to the cabin.

Fang Yue had been taking medicine all night, not treating himself like a human, but purely as a medicine jar.

After this operation, he finally managed to recover seventy to eighty percent of his injuries. Tonight, when the Night Breathing technique took effect, he could deal with it a little more and completely recover to his peak state.

And next, what Fang Yue had to do was to study the other two inheritances left by Han Da Ren.

Therefore, he had to seize every minute to improve his strength.

Of course, getting Elder Helmsman to correct the course was also something to consider, but for now, someone could help him think about it.

After all, he wasn't a professional in this area.

Thinking of this, Fang Yue walked towards a certain direction in the cabin.

And there, someone's voice had just sounded.

"It's done!"

Qing Chen, with dark circles under his eyes, clapped his hands excitedly and said.

And at his feet were blocks of blood-colored deck.

These decks were all stained red by the blood that Jingyan had spat out.

But unlike the real world, in the game, they had medicine that could directly replenish blood, so spitting blood was nothing.

Under Qing Chen's two-pronged approach, Jingyan, as Qing Chen had expected, managed to conserve resources and finally safely transitioned to a state where almost all the blood-colored eyes had left his body and smuggled themselves onto the blood-colored deck on the ground.

In addition, Jingyan had been burned alive by the fire stick, so the blood-colored eyes in his body were either dead or gone. There were basically no blood-colored eyes left.

In other words, Jingyan was safe.

Of course, the cost was also very tragic. His whole body was covered with various torture-like burn marks. Unknowing people would probably think he was an important criminal of the imperial court.

"Qing Chen... are you really sure I'm okay?"

"Sure!"

Qing Chen was very confident about this, so he answered very loudly.

"...Then can you tell me why there are still two gill-like things on both sides of my cheeks?"

"This is a fact that the strange curse has already caused. All I have done is to clear the strange curse and prevent your subsequent death. There is currently no good way to solve what has happened. And I found... your gills are actually very similar to the gills of fish, that is... you have gained the ability to breathe underwater through the strange curse of the red-eyed monster fish!"
