Chapter 1804: Survival

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Zhang Tie faintly heard rhythmic splatters. At the beginning, it was blurry like coming from the distance with a mist. Gradually, Zhang Tie’s consciousness started to recover like sparkles in the dark.

The rhythmic splatter didn’t become clear until over 10 minutes later.

As it became clearer and clearer, Zhang Tie finally identified that it was the sound of sea waves lapping against the sand beach. After that, Zhang Tie’s senses recovered a bit. Not until then did he realize that he would slightly rise and fall as each sea wave passed by him. Additionally, he felt that he was lying on something which prevented him from sinking in water.

At this moment, his hands also recovered senses. Zhang Tie felt it was smooth, hard and grained with a sense of texture under his hand. He was catching the thick rim of this object while lying on it.

With one foot in the water, Zhang Tie felt a bit itchy from his knee to his foot. Something might be supporting his foot so that his foot could float and he could lie flat on it...

Through hard efforts, Zhang Tie finally opened his eyes.

When Zhang Tie opened his eyes, he instantly caught sight of a sand beach and an isle not far away and the rising and falling sea waves. Zhang Tie looked down as he found he was catching the rim of a thick brownish-black shell of a tortoise. A huge sea tortoise longer than 1 m was carrying him on its back and swimming towards the sand beach.

There were numerous sand-scale fish in the sea beside this sea tortoise. In the sunlight, these sand-scale fish were like large quantity of silver coins while their smooth scales were dazzling, forming a thick silver carpet right below him and the sea tortoise. Sand-scale fish were supporting Zhang Tie’s foot using their bodies in case he fell into the water.

Zhang Tie wanted to smile; however, he dropped off tears first.

Zhang Tie had not imagined that he was saved by a sea tortoise and so many sand-scale fish. Without their help, Zhang Tie might have already sunken into the water due to heavy wounds. Being unconscious and breathless, he could only die.

If he still had consciousness, he could easily drive such a sea tortoise and so many sand-scale fish to carry him using his animal-controlling skill. However, after losing his consciousness, he couldn’t drive any animal to help him. In this situation, the help of the sea tortoise and so many sand-scale fish made Zhang Tie feel complex.

When he was in Hidden Dragon Island, he had set free a lot of sand-scale fish. After coming to Taixia Country, he released a large number of aquatic beings including sand-scale fish and tortoises. Unimaginably, he was saved by sand-scale fish and a huge sea tortoise this time. Zhang Tie sighed with emotions...

Being pushed by sea waves, the huge sea tortoise soon carried Zhang Tie to the sand beach. The sand-scale fish then left there. The huge sea tortoise carried Zhang Tie towards the coconut woods near the sand beach slowly and awkwardly. When it arrived at a patch of dry land being covered with fine sands, Zhang Tie instantly tumbled down the tortoise’s shell, facing the sky.

The huge tortoise turned around as it took a look at Zhang Tie with its kind and wet eyes. After that, it turned back towards the ocean. Only after a short while, he had already entered the waves and disappeared in front of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie was too weak to utter any word, not to mention move.

Zhang Tie tried his best to recall what had happened at the last moment when he fought the demon emperor. However, he could only remember that he was heavily injured and was involved in the turbulent flow which could overcome everything just like a hurricane. The turbulent flow was made of berserk four elements. It was a bit similar to the chaos caused by the explosion of the semi-sage level realms of Xia Yangming and Shi Zhongyu before they escaped away. However, the former was much more powerful and destructive than the latter. Additionally, the turbulent flow of four elements appeared to be containing a strange powerful strength which could destroy the universe.

As the two different strengths collided with each other, the turbulent flow became terrifyingly fast. Even though Zhang Tie had a great perception as a divine dominator, he only felt that he was bound to a roller coaster like a 30-year old baby. In front of the speed of hundreds of thousands of meters per second, Zhang Tie. who had already been severely injured, passed out in a split second.

As for what happened later, Zhang Tie didn’t know anything.

It seemed to be exhausting for Zhang Tie to think at this moment. When he was recalling what had happened, he gradually felt pretty weak in an overwhelming manner. He felt increasingly sleepy and fatigued. After reluctantly taking a look at the sun that had just risen up and hearing the chirps of the sea gulfs in the sky, Zhang Tie fell asleep once again...

...

When Zhang Tie woke up, it was already a few hours later. This time, Zhang Tie had woken up due to the sharp pain all over. Lying on the sand beach, he heard the splatters of sea waves as the sea wind felt chilly. The sun was going to fall as the glow of sunset tinted the sea level. At the same time, the sharp pain made Zhang Tie prefer death.

Although being still weak, Zhang Tie found that he had recovered some strength. Supporting the ground by hand, he struggled to sit up. Unimaginably, he tilted down towards left. Watching the empty part on his left, he realized that his left arm had already been chopped off and burned into ashes by Demon Emperor...

Besides, he also lost his left eye...

At this moment, the sharp pain across Zhang Tie’s body made his face extremely pale. Supporting his incomplete body using his right arm, Zhang Tie reluctantly sat up as he started to look inside his body...

The result made Zhang Tie stunned once again. He even forgot about the heart-wrenching pain across his body...
