Chapter 922: Deep-Sea Whirlpool

“Fairy, you might not know this, but there is a whirlpool about a hundred Li from here. The current there is very fast, and we don’t know where it leads to. However, rare items often float out of it.

“Although that place is extremely dangerous, we were forced to do so. All our income from fishing was given to Cape Star Island. We couldn’t go on any longer, so we wanted to go there to try our luck. We didn’t expect that we would be able to pick up this waterproof bead.

Unfortunately, we found it and celebrated the discovery, we were found by the people of Cape Star Island, which was the event you stumbled upon just now. Fairy, usually, Cape Star Island oppresses our Big Dipper Island. You helped us get rid of the biggest threat. Please accept our gratitude.”

After the old man finished speaking, he brought the young people behind him to kneel and kowtow in thanks. Yun Chujiu said a few polite words to let them stand up and then asked them about the whirlpool in front of them.

“Fairy, don’t tell me you want to find out where the vortex leads? I advise you not to take the risk. We are forced to live here like this because we have no other choice. The vortex is extremely dangerous, and cultivators often lose their lives there. You’d better not go,” the old man advised earnestly.

Yun Chujiu smiled and said, “Old man, don’t worry. I know what to do. Goodbye.”

After saying that, Yun Chujiu returned to the cockpit and headed in the direction that the old man had pointed out. The Illusionary Electric Eel shook its head and wagged its tail as it escorted her boat away. The ship and the beast gradually disappeared from the old man’s sight.

The old man shook his head. He hoped that this girl was safe. That whirlpool was not a joke. After the old man sighed, he commanded the young men to dive underwater and retrieve all the valuable items from the sunken ship on Cape Star Island. This time, they would be able to hold on for a long time.

Yun Chujiu soon discovered the whirlpool. It was indeed very dangerous at first glance. There were even whirlpool-like ripples on the surface of the sea. It was probably even more turbulent at the bottom of the sea.

Yun Chujiu kept the merchant ship anchored then jumped into the sea. Then, she looked at the huge whirlpool.

The whirlpool kept spiraling up from the bottom of the sea. From time to time, some things would be washed out of the whirlpool. Yun Chujiu picked up some and looked at them. There were shells and some dead small fish. What surprised Yun Chujiu was that some of the mussels only existed in the Endless Sea and freshwater fish that only existed in hot springs. It was really puzzling.

If this whirlpool was connected to the Endless Sea, why would there be small fish in the hot springs? If it was connected to the hot springs, why would there be mussels in the Endless Sea?

Could it be that this whirlpool was connected to two places, or that this whirlpool was formed by the intersection of two small whirlpools?

Just as Yun Chujiu was puzzled, she did not expect that the suction force of the vortex suddenly increased and Yun Chujiu’s entire body was sucked into the vortex.

The Illusionary Electric Eel was dumbfounded as it watched from a distance. It’s over! The Little Devil is dead for sure! I was originally looking forward to my glorious freedom, yet you insisted on coming to see the vortex. You’re courting death!

The Illusionary Electric Eel stayed by the side for a few days but did not see Yun Chujiu’s body. It wondered if the little girl had been washed away somewhere else? I have done my best, Little Devil. I hope you are okay.

After Yun Chujiu was swept into the whirlpool, she activated a spiritual energy shield to protect her body. There was a distorted light screen in front of her, and she could not see anything. She thought to herself that the whirlpool would sometimes push her one way and sometimes pull her in another, she was unlucky enough to be caught in those moments, and she did not know where it would lead.
