Chapter 161: Chapter 106: The Ocean Spirit Got Hit by a Ship!!!_2

His entire face contorted because of it.

Finally, having no choice, Gu Shanhai could only tear off its facial skin with tears in his eyes before incinerating it with flames.

"You..." Black Horse, after breaking free, saw Gu Shanhai approaching and quickly shrank back, "This could’ve been washed off with water..."

"Cough, I did that on purpose," Gu Shanhai explained, and then said, "By the way, I heard you can transform into a human. Could you transform for me into someone who is ugly yet attractive, tall but also quite short, appears male but also female, clearly looks charming but also irresistibly punchable?"

"..." Black Horse’s equine face showed a humanized expression, essentially ’just kill me and get it over with, there’s no need for all this nonsense,’ and also, how shameless could this person be, to still claim it was a targeted action against it.

"Can’t do it? Is it because my request is too much?" Gu Shanhai felt a bit puzzled.

’This isn’t a matter of being too much; it’s something that a horse simply can’t do,’ Black Horse silently complained to itself, not daring to say it aloud.

"That’s too bad. Otherwise... how about you pull the boat for me? Do you recognize this place?" Gu Shanhai pulled out a map, pointing to an island.

Black Horse glanced at it and noticed a narrow waterway, wondering who would know where that was.

"Reco... recognize...." Black Horse didn’t dare say it didn’t recognize the place because Gu Shanhai’s look sent chills down its spine. The moment it dared to admit ignorance and lose its value, it was likely that it’d be skinned alive.

"I was scared for a moment, thinking that you, a local horse, wouldn’t know. Since you do, things will be easier. Come on, put this on, and lead the way," Gu Shanhai said cheerfully, holding out a hemp rope.

Black Horse felt like protesting—it only looked like a horse, and wasn’t an actual horse. But it didn’t dare to voice its objection, knowing that if it spoke out, Gu Shanhai would make it admit the truth through blows.

’I’ll see if you can catch me once I’m in the water!’ Black Horse planned to endure Gu Shanhai for now, vowing to desecrate his grave once Gu Shanhai was dead.

Gu Shanhai, capable of detecting thoughts, thought that the horse sure dared to dream big.

"Don’t worry, I’m very measured in my actions. I’ve placed a hunter’s mark on you, and I’m also skilled at prophetic divination. Even to the ends of the earth, you won’t escape from my Five-Finger Mountain," Gu Shanhai said in an extremely amiable tone after putting the hemp rope on Black Horse.

He swore that once ashore, he’d skin the Black Horse, and then chop and boil the rest to make a meaty soup. Sea horse, also known as dragon’s offspring, primarily served to replenish vitality and strengthen yang.

Black Horse was a Kael Elf but also a sea creature, so it should have similar effects.

Black Horse looked at the hemp rope Gu Shanhai handed over, gritted its teeth, and put it on. Then it plunged into the water and began to pull the covered boat forward.

Both parties knew the other harbored ill intentions, yet each harbored their own schemes.

"Yo!" Little White popped out and called out.

"You’re a deer, a herbivore, you can’t eat meat. Moreover, that horse seems to be related to you... Oh wait, deer are even-toed ungulates and horses are odd-toed ungulates, right?" Gu Shanhai realized this blind spot.

Black Horse, pulling the boat in the sea, didn’t know the difference between odd-toed and even-toed ungulates but understood the phrase ’eating meat,’ which made it shudder.

What kind of people were these, teaching a deer to eat meat!

Even though it ate meat, that deer was a real deer, unlike it, which wasn’t a real horse.

"Oh, you’re saying that horse also eats meat? It isn’t a real horse. When I find time to give it a health check, you’ll see for yourself," Gu Shanhai indicated that its anatomical structure was definitely different, and explained this to Little White seriously.

Regrettably, Little White didn’t understand and just naively indicated that it wanted to try.

Gu Shanhai had a vein throbbing in his forehead. If testing that thing out was an option, there wouldn’t be so much trouble to begin with. He sternly forbade anyone from secretly nibbling on Black Horse—after all, he needed it to pull the boat.

"I have to say, an elf is an elf—this speed is no joke. Definitely faster than my electric-powered one and more importantly, it’s eco-friendly. The original state of things really is different," Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but comment.

Who knows what Black Horse had eaten to grow so big; its strength certainly did justice to its sinewy build.

Then, while keeping an eye on Black Horse and their bearings to prevent the creature from intentionally leading them astray, he took out the treasure map and started to examine it.

After flipping it over again and again, he still couldn’t make heads or tails of it, except for a few chuckles at the ridiculous scale of the ocean on the map.

"Wait, is this island the first one or just one among many?" Gu Shanhai noticed something because the island was located on the edge of the map’s corner, and due to lack of paper space, only one island had been drawn. But that couldn’t mean there was only one island out there.

"So the person who drew this must be sick in the head, drawing such a large and useless land map and skimping on the crucial sea chart."

Gu Shanhai was too exasperated to complain further. But then again, this world wasn’t the world of Pirate King Luffy’s great voyages—the mainstream was the knights, hence the focus was on land. So maybe it wasn’t too irregular to have a non-standard map... perhaps.

Towed by Black Horse, Gu Shanhai swiftly entered... an area shrouded in sea fog.

In this fog, visibility was virtually zero beyond a meter, and even Little White confessed it couldn’t see its own fingers stretched out in front of it.

"Are you sure you haven’t gone the wrong way?" Gu Shanhai pulled Black Horse onto the boat, thankful that the creature hadn’t made a break for it.

"Nope, I was pulling in the direction that your map showed. Besides, with that map of yours, who could understand it..." complained Black Horse, not the first time it thought the land dwellers were crazy.

"Fair enough, but as a local horse, you must know something," Gu Shanhai said, staring at Black Horse.

Black Horse almost cried: "How would I know? I was just passing through when your ship hit me. I don’t live around here."

"Didn’t you say you knew the way? This fog is so thick, even the mist from the Peach Banquet that Sun Wukong attended wasn’t this dense." Gu Shanhai made a Prophetic Divination, feeling the general direction wasn’t wrong, so what was to come was likely to be slightly dangerous.

Last time, the slight danger involved cursed monsters formed by knights in the camp. This time, it surely couldn’t be sea monsters.

If you were to talk about sea monsters, Black Horse itself could barely qualify as one. Normally, if sea people encountered Black Horse, they’d be gone by now.

"I only lied about knowing the way because I was afraid you’d skin me if I didn’t..." Black Horse didn’t dare finish, fearing Gu Shanhai might lash out at it.

"I want to ask, is that thing related to you?" Gu Shanhai pointed at a robust figure shrouded in the mist, a blend of human and horse features, extremely large in size.

Upon seeing the other creature, Black Horse’s fur bristled as it spoke, "Run, that’s Sea People Manaklavi—a Demon!!!"

"Demons are all supposed to be... oh, this is the sea, a good hiding place indeed, especially for marine creatures," Gu Shanhai agreed and then, jerking the tiller, he stomped on the accelerator, and in that instant, ten nitrous oxide jets behind the boat opened up.

Flames propelled the small boat into a wild sprint, with the towering figure of Sea People Manaklavi following closely behind.

Black Horse clung desperately to the bow of the boat to prevent itself from being thrown overboard by the high speeds, while Little White was not as fortunate—if Gu Shanhai hadn’t quickly grabbed its hind leg, it would have flown out of the boat by now.

"Faster, to the freshwater area, or else Nakravi won’t give up," Black Horse urgently shouted. Demons wouldn’t care that he, a Kael Elf, resembled them in horse-like appearance—they’d kill and eat without hesitation.

"You make it sound so easy. We’re at sea; where am I supposed to find you a freshwater area? Do you really think I can do absolutely anything?" Gu Shanhai retorted, impatient with the unrealistic expectations.
