Chapter 77

Riding the Fish Across the Sea.

In ancient times, someone crossed a river on a single reed. Now, Li Mu and the red mutant parrot were riding the fish across the sea. With the whale controlled by Li Mu as their vehicle, their speed greatly increased, gliding across the Pacific Ocean, cutting through the waves, moving straight ahead. But even so, it was unknown how much time it would take to cross the entire Pacific Ocean.

More importantly, in this vast sea, even after Li Mu had almost completely regained his memory, it was difficult to determine direction. At most, he could only use the direction of the rising sun to determine east, and then proceed eastward.

"Great King, I think the most important thing for us now is to find land. I’m so tired of looking at the sea, and I’m about to vomit from eating fish."

The red mutant parrot weakly swallowed a fish. After the nuclear explosion, it was unclear whether it was due to radiation, but its feathers had fallen out, its body had continuously swollen, and its appetite had dramatically increased. If Li Mu had not already awakened with the ability to mentally control the fish, making them jump onto the whale's back, the red mutant parrot felt it would have starved to death.

Li Mu nodded slightly, his face expressionless. He stood barefoot on the whale's back, hands behind his back, staring straight ahead. He naturally understood this, but even with the whale as transportation, finding land in this vast sea was not an easy task.

After several sunrises and sunsets, the night sky was hazy. Li Mu raised his head, trying to identify a few familiar stars in the sky to determine direction.

The red mutant parrot, bored and lamenting the loss of its feathers, gritted its teeth in anger, "Damn it, it must be those humans! After the nuclear explosion, I started losing my feathers. When we return to land, we must kill all those damn humans!"

Bang!

The red mutant parrot was directly whipped into the air by the black bone spines behind Li Mu. Li Mu's eyes were cold, and he ignored the red mutant parrot's cries for mercy. He lowered his head and looked at his palm. Even in the darkness, he could see his palm, which appeared calm, was actually constantly twisting and writhing.

The red mutant parrot was right. After the nuclear explosion, although they had hidden in the depths of the sea and were not directly vaporized, they were indeed affected by the nuclear explosion.

Nuclear radiation, though not fully understood in Li Mu's memory, was known to be a terrifying threat that humans feared. Clearly, both he and the red mutant parrot were affected by nuclear radiation.

As a result, the red mutant parrot had lost all its feathers and its body had begun to swell, while Li Mu had entered a dormant state of further evolution.

The outcome, whether good or bad, Li Mu was unclear, but he could feel that every cell in his body was more intensely evolving, and he was constantly tormented by immense pain, testing his willpower.

The red mutant parrot could sense the pain and torment Li Mu was enduring and did not dare to provoke him. It lay on the whale's back, eyes wide, gazing at the dark night.

"Great King, Great King, look! Is that land?"

The red mutant parrot suddenly shouted excitedly.

Li Mu snapped out of his thoughts, his gaze sweeping through the night, and he saw the shadowy outline in the darkness ahead. He leaped into the air, but was immediately disappointed.

It was not land, just an island.

However, this also excited the red mutant parrot. Those who had not been adrift in the vast sea could not understand the happiness of stepping on solid ground.

"Great King, although it's just an island, it's good news. If we can see an island, the mainland can't be far away."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and with a thought, the whale beneath his feet immediately increased its speed, heading towards the island in the night.

"I am filled with hot tears in my eyes, for I love this land deeply..."

The red mutant parrot, tears streaming down its face, flapped its wings, lifting its fat body, and was the first to land on the island, lying on the beach, reciting a sentence it had secretly learned.

Li Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and with a thought, the whale beneath his feet stopped moving, still a hundred meters from the island, remaining stationary.

The red mutant parrot rolled happily on the beach, so excited that it even ate some sand, spitting out saliva while continuously calling to Li Mu, "Great King, Great King, come over quickly. Let's rest on this island for a few days. Maybe there are some damn humans here, and we can have some fun!"

Li Mu's face was expressionless, his eyes gradually turning silver, staring intently at the island in the night. He sensed a dangerous aura.

"The human is quite alert, but this bird is too stupid."

A powerful voice suddenly sounded, and an old man in a green robe holding a lantern appeared from the night, coming out of nowhere. Even though Li Mu had been watching the island, he did not see how the old man suddenly appeared on the beach with the lantern.

"I haven't seen this species before. Perfect, let's use it for hot pot."

The old man's steps were not fast, but in just a few steps, he had crossed the hundred meters and stood before the red mutant parrot, surprised.

The red mutant parrot sneered viciously, "You want to have fun, and now you're here to die! Old man, you're asking for it!"

With that, the red mutant parrot howled and charged at the old man, a mad gleam in its eyes. It had always wanted to show its fighting prowess to Li Mu, but the enemies it encountered were too strong, and it had no chance to show off.

Now, encountering a half-dead human old man on the island, the red mutant parrot felt it was time to display its strength.

"A-da! White Crane Spreads Its Wings!"

The red mutant parrot screeched, jumping up and swinging its bare wings at the old man.

The old man laughed loudly, his voice powerful. He suddenly inhaled, and in an instant, a sound like a sonic boom seemed to occur, as if the air had been sucked away.

Squawk!

A sharp whistling sound, and with one breath, the old man exhaled a visible white mist, like a white rainbow piercing the sky, directly hitting the red mutant parrot.

The red mutant parrot was thrown back at an even faster speed, its eyes filled with extreme fear, "Great King, I've been deceived! This is definitely not a human!"

Li Mu's pupils contracted, firmly locking onto the suddenly appearing old man. He had already sensed the oppressive danger earlier, and now he felt an even more terrifying pressure from the old man, a sense of invincibility and authority.

The red mutant parrot was thrown back, and the old man, with a step, moved like a ghost, directly catching up to the red mutant parrot. He reached out and grabbed it, and the red mutant parrot felt its body go numb, like a dead chicken, held in the old man's hand.
