Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2139 - 508: Chen Jie—The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

It turns out that Chen Jie saw at the stern of the Siamese warship, there was a man in a black robe secretly preparing to enter the water.

That’s right, this person is the State Preceptor hidden on the main Siamese warship.

The State Preceptor came for the purpose of seeking not the Flood Dragon, but the Immortal Blood protected by the Flood Dragon.

He tricked these pirate warships to come here not only to use the Flood Dragon’s hand to destroy all these warships but also to lure the Flood Dragon away with the fleeing ships.

This way, he can find the Immortal Blood hidden in the Flood Dragon’s cave.

And now that the Flood Dragon has been drawn out of its lair, the State Preceptor decides to enter the water.

At this point, the State Preceptor removes the cumbersome black robe, followed by removing his upper clothes, bare-chested, and then dives into the sea.

Moments later, the surface of the water is still, and Chen Jie sees the State Preceptor’s actions, then says to Zhang Dingbian, "Dingbian, go inform the other pirate groups, help them seize a thread of opportunity, I’ll follow him and see."

Zhang Dingbian listens to this and looks at Chen Jie, saying, "Lord, be careful, the seawater is perilous, and we don’t know what other bizarre things are in these deep waters, so be cautious."

Chen Jie hears this without a change in expression, then says, "Don’t worry, I am a fisherman’s son, this water can’t trouble me."

Speaking, Chen Jie directly takes off all his clothes, leaving only shorts, followed by a brisk sound heard from his body, it turns out to be the sound of his joints stretching out.

Then Chen Jie takes a deep breath, wrapping the freshest air in Gang Qi within his lungs, allowing him to achieve a prolonged underwater dive.

Chen Jie doesn’t know how long he can dive, but he estimates that an hour should be no problem, of course, assuming he has Melt God strength, otherwise, he couldn’t hold his breath underwater for an hour.

Chen Jie then holds his breath, diving headlong into the sea.

Poof~

As Chen Jie dives into the sea, his body extends, moving agilely like a swimming fish.

This is from a Cultivation Technique "The Art of Swimming" he once saw on Mianshui, passed down by a senior adept in aquatic Kung Fu, said to have been created by Ruan’s Trio, among the one hundred and eight heroes of Water Pool Liang Mountain.

Ruan’s Trio, namely the three navy leaders of Heavenly Gang Star in Water Margin, Earthly Tai Sui Ruan Xiao’er, Short-lived Second Brother Ruan Xiaowu, Living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi.

Especially Ruan Xiaoqi with exceptional diving ability, said to be able to stay submerged underwater day and night, truly formidable.

It is said that the "The Art of Swimming" was passed down by one of these three, but it’s not known exactly who.

However, "The Art of Swimming" is not a powerful Cultivation Technique, but a skill teaching how to dive and swim in water, lacking any form of Martial Arts teachings.

Therefore, no one took it seriously, more people merely regarded it as casual reading material.

Yet this book happened to reach Chen Jie, and he didn’t find it to be a mighty secret martial arts manual, but its flexibility and practicality in water left a deep impression on him.

Of course, Chen Jie didn’t associate it much, but as a descendant of fishermen, he instinctively knew how to swim.

Moreover, after Chen Jie entered the Melt God Realm, his memory became unprecedentedly strong, allowing previously read book memories to resurface.

As Chen Jie jumps into the water, he recalls the swimming skills from "The Art of Swimming", initially awkward, but soon he comprehends fully, now rolling in the water as if truly a swimming fish.

Adapting slightly, he becomes proficient, then discerns a direction in the water and proceeds directly to where the State Preceptor descended.

Unaware of the Immortal Blood’s whereabouts, but the State Preceptor knows.

Just follow the State Preceptor well, then there’s a chance to accomplish being the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole watches behind.

With these thoughts, Chen Jie accelerates his descent, but this sea area is indeed chaotic, filled with a bloody smell stirred by the Flood Dragon.

Chen Jie has just swum a few hundred meters when suddenly a massive entity blocks his path.

Chen Jie looks to see a large gray shark, roaming in the water, enraged by the bloody scent, yet it dares not surface to consume the floating corpses above.

Because the most terrifying creature of the deep, that sea dragon above prevents it; hence, it can only wander below.

But who would have thought that not expecting to have a morsel, someone would come delivering themselves.

Thus, it sees Chen Jie, and now this big gray shark becomes very excited, eyes shining with thirst for fresh flesh.

Chen Jie frowns slightly, encountering such a large shark in the water, though he is unafraid, it is indeed bothersome.

Chen Jie sizes up this shark, finds it is actually four to five meters long, certainly a behemoth.

Thinking this, Chen Jie looks around and sees that sharks are swimming in other directions too, eyes fixating on Chen Jie, revealing a bloodthirsty glow.

Chen Jie frowns tightly, eyeing these sharks in front of him, estimating roughly seven or eight sharks, he’s hit upon a School of Sharks.
