Two thousand kilometers southeast of the Crown of the Ocean, in the sky, Ji Chen and Anina rode on the back of a Sea Crystal Wyrm, surrounded by over a hundred Sea Crystal Wyrms.

“Anina, are you sure Abyss of the Dragon Whales is in this direction?”

Anina lay on the back of the Sea Crystal Wyrm, peering at the sea below, her face somewhat tense. “Of course! I’m a Dragon Whale. When have you ever heard of a whale getting lost?”

Ji Chen looked at her with a raised eyebrow, despite her lack of confidence, and how she tried to sound convincing, he couldn’t help but sigh and facepalm, leaving a few black lines on his face.

Two days ago, they embarked on a quest from their territory to the Abyss of the Dragon Whales, seeking the key to Anina’s progression – the coveted high-level Dragon Whale bloodline.

However, what caught him off guard was that just before they set off, Anina had sworn she knew the way to the Abyss of the Dragon Whales, but halfway through, she suddenly started to stutter and seemed disoriented, as if she had lost her way.

Clearly, she was lost!

Ji Chen found it strange. Even whales on Earth could find their way across thousands of miles. Could it be that the whales in this otherworldly realm were different?

Anina seemed to realize that she was truly lost, and her head drooped in frustration.

She couldn’t understand!

Why were the memories from her bloodline so clear when they had just set off, but the further they went, the more blurred they became?

What was even stranger was that when they retraced their steps a bit, the bloodline memories became slightly clearer again!

This was baffling. Could it be that the bloodline inside her was trying to prevent her from knowing the way to the Abyss of the Dragon Whales unless she was close to it?

Seeing Anina’s disappointed and frustrated expression, Ji Chen had no intention of blaming her. He gently patted her head and comforted her.

“If you can’t remember, it’s okay…”

“No!” Anina’s reaction was quite intense. “If I can’t find it, then I won’t be able to get stronger, and I won’t be able to help you, Lord. I can’t accept that…”

Ji Chen was momentarily speechless. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled. “Well then, let’s keep searching. We have plenty of time.”

Feeling the change in Ji Chen’s tone, Anina put away her frustration and nodded vigorously. “We must find it!”

However, reality doesn’t always bend to one’s will. Anina couldn’t recall the specific location of the Abyss of the Dragon Whales or even the general sea area. It was as if there was a hidden long-distance signal jammer blocking the memories in her bloodline.

Even when Ji Chen asked the marine creatures for help in finding it, they were of no use. These marine creatures had no idea where the so-called Abyss of the Dragon Whales was, perhaps due to its extreme secrecy and long-term isolation.

For three consecutive days, Ji Chen and Anina searched in a mostly haphazard manner towards the southeast, hoping to find some clues.

However, the vastness of the ocean also came with a monotonous nature.

In the Stormy Sea, thousands of miles southeast of the New Moon Islands, there were only a few sparsely inhabited islands scattered around, and apart from that, all they could see was an identical sea surface and the clear blue sky.

Two entire days went by with no headway. Ji Chen and Anina’s excitement for the search waned considerably, made worse by the harsh weather, blistering sun, and continuous outdoor living.

By the end of it all, Ji Chen was feeling somewhat numb and had little hope of finding the Abyss of the Dragon Whales. He had come to regard this journey as more of an adventure.

However, he did get a glimpse of what it felt like for those traders who sailed on slow-moving sailboats, braving the open ocean for days on end. They faced the same seascape, the same sky, and the same scenery repeatedly. Ji Chen couldn’t help but wonder how they coped with the loneliness of long voyages.

As night fell, it was not advisable to continue their journey. They found a relatively small island, and Ji Chen had his Sea Crystal Wyrm clear it of the dozen or so amphibious sea creatures that had occupied it. They landed there to rest temporarily, seeking shelter in the shade of a few coconut trees.

With a stick skewered with sea creature meat in hand, Ji Chen roasted it over a campfire. He sprinkled some spices on it from time to time. The sea creature meat was naturally rich in oil, so there was no need for additional brushing.

The dripping oil sizzled in the fire, emitting a pleasing sound. Under the high-temperature roasting, the rich aroma of the meat filled the air, whetting one’s appetite.

Anina sat beside him, her large black eyes fixed on the food, her expression filled with longing. Occasionally, she wiped away the droplets of saliva at the corner of her mouth.

After a while, the meat was finally cooked. Ji Chen couldn’t help but smile at her, who resembled a little hungry cat. He handed her a piece of the roasted meat and said, “Go ahead. This is meat personally roasted by your lord. It’s not something you get every day.”

Anina’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she thanked him. She grabbed the stick with precision and took a bite of the skewered meat. She savored the delightful texture and the rich flavor of the seasoning and meat. Two eyebrows curved upward in satisfaction, and the frustration she had felt from not finding the Abyss of the Dragon Whales faded away.

Ji Chen watched Anina shake her head playfully while enjoying the roasted meat, looking adorable. His mood improved a bit, and he continued to grill his own meat.

After finishing their dinner, they leaned against the coconut trees to rest.

Due to the need for efficiency in their journey, they didn’t take a boat, so they had to make do with resting on the ground. This made Ji Chen think about the construction of the building on the back of the giant turtle. Once it was completed, he wouldn’t have to rough it like this during his travels. He could simply sleep in a bed and continue his journey comfortably..
