Chapter 81 Benefits in the Storm
"It's finally over." Looking at the dispersing thunderclouds and thick fog, Luo Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
My feelings were a mixture of relief and disappointment.
All told, this storm has lasted for a full ten days.
Fortunately, the storm finally subsided, both ships were safe and sound, and I no longer needed to consume magic stone fragments or maintain the spell.
Even if his mental strength could sustain it, maintaining the spell continuously would still be a considerable pressure.
Disappointingly, as the storm subsided and the thunderclouds and fog dissipated, Luo Ang's mental energy also returned to calm and ceased to be active.
During these few days of maintaining the spell, I don't know if it was due to the pressure of the spell or the activity of my mental energy.
Or perhaps it's a combination of both.
In short, Luo Ang's meditation over the past few days has yielded remarkable results!
More than half a month ago, when he took the opportunity of writing a diary to understand his true nature and witness his true self, his spiritual power suddenly increased to 10.5.
After that, progress resumed amidst a difficult and arduous process.
But after this cycle of storms, the eleventh ring of patterns on Luo Ang's soul seed was already showing signs of closing up—in terms of data, it was at least 10.85, if not 10.9.
It seems that if the storm continues for another three to five days, Luo Ang's mental strength may reach eleven points!
Furthermore, the concentration of the White Eagle bloodline within him has also increased significantly.
But now that the storm has stopped, the effects of Luo Ang's meditation and the growth of his mental strength will return to that extremely slow pace. Who knows when the next thunderstorm will begin? How could Luo Ang not be disappointed?
Just as he was feeling conflicted, a fragrant aroma wafted into his nose, causing Luo Ang's stomach to rumble involuntarily.
At this moment, Luo Ang suddenly came to his senses. In order to maintain the spell for the past few days, his daily meals consisted of drinking rainwater and eating a few bites of hard bread before meditation. He did this purely for the sake of efficiency and convenience...
Following the scent, I turned around and saw Teonton holding an earthenware pot in front of Loen.
Inside the earthenware pot was freshly made fish soup, with some mushrooms, greens, and spices added.
To be fair, in this life, Luo Ang is far inferior to his previous life in terms of power, influence, and strength, except when it comes to food and drink.
In this life, from birth to now, whether it was the food and drink he had as a nobleman, or the offerings he received from Teon and the others, or even the food and drink he and the Crimson Wizard made themselves...
They can only be considered ordinary.
No food has ever made Loon feel that it is "delicious".
Therefore, for Luo Ang, every mealtime is a time for him to reminisce about his past life—otherwise, his memories of his past life would have long since faded away.
After all, nostalgia often arises when the present is not as good as the past.
The spiced mushroom and fish soup that Teon had specially learned to make was also only ordinary in taste.
But now, after several days of "care," when he suddenly drank a sip of hot fish soup, Luo Ang felt a long-lost sense of "deliciousness."
"That's great!" After slowly finishing the fish soup, Luo Ang let out a long breath of hot air, then returned to his room and changed into some dry clothes.
……
After the storm subsided, the tide in Crescent Bay receded quickly.
The submerged beach has reappeared.
The multi-layered spiral vine grid that blocked both sides of the bay also gradually came into view.
Within the grid, there were still some shark bone fragments, as well as many crab-like creatures.
Taking advantage of the calm after the storm, the people on both boats transferred to the island, strung up ropes, and started a campfire...
Some people took the opportunity to dry their quilts.
There are people boiling water in preparation for a bath.
There is no shortage of people preparing all kinds of food.
On the once barren island, countless flames and wisps of smoke rose up in an instant.
At this time, Luo Ang did not go to the island to "enjoy himself with the people," but remained on the Stone Oak, keeping a certain distance from the passengers on the White Whale.
—At this moment, the passengers on the White Whale also realized Loon's identity.
After all, none of the people who disembarked from the Stone Oak were passengers; they were all crew members, sailors, and so on.
On the third day after the storm subsided, the Crimson Wizard, who had been underwater, finally returned to Crescent Bay.
After the rain stopped and the tide receded, Crescent Bay was no longer suitable for Andy to swim in, so the Scarlet Wizard rode Andy to the surface outside Crescent Bay.
The moment she surfaced, the Crimson Wizard saw the tangled vines, like a fishing net, that bound the crescent-shaped bay.
After pausing briefly outside the bay and sensing Loon's presence with her mental power, the Crimson Wizard did not hesitate to instruct Andy to tear open the vine net and call out to summon the sharks in the bay to come and get her.
The whistle blew several times, and sharks outside the bay were called over by the whistle, but no sharks inside the bay responded. The Crimson Wizard blinked in confusion.
"What's going on?"
Without hesitation, she summoned another shark from outside, mounted one, and plunged into the bay before returning to the Stone Oak.
Compared to how she looked more than ten days ago, the Crimson Wizard now looked utterly emaciated.
For more than ten days, Luo Ang maintained the Grass and Wood Entanglement Technique, which naturally put him under great pressure, and his diet was very simple. But no matter what, Luo Ang still had time to meditate and opportunities to recover.
But when the Crimson Wizard hunted underwater, she could only eat a few bites of raw fish when she was hungry and drink a few sips of fish blood when she was thirsty. In order to seize this rare opportunity to harvest more prey, she even squeezed out her meditation time to the extreme.
After more than ten days of such exploitation, one can only imagine what the Crimson Wizard looks like now.
Her hair had become dry, and bits of various seaweed and salt crystals clung to it and the hem of her clothes...
As soon as they returned to the ship, Teton, who was still tidying up on the shore, immediately directed the other two knights to bring back hot water and soup that had never cooled down.
The Crimson Wizard didn't say much and went straight back to the cabin to take a bath.
Two more hours later, the Scarlet Wizard, feeling that he had washed himself clean, changed into a wizard's cloak and appeared before Loen.
