Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1978 - 1979: Swim Across?
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
"What? You want to go to Hell Beach?!"
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s request, the driver’s face instantly turned colorful as he exclaimed.
He suspected these two young people from Yan Country had gone mad.
He had already explained the dangers of Hell Beach very clearly, and yet they still wanted to go? Don’t they fear death? Are they not afraid of the blood-sucking vampires rumored to live there?
Ye Xuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, we want to go there. To be honest, we are explorers from Yan Country, and we are particularly interested in supernatural legends around the world, which is why we have come to Voros City."
"Oh my God, you must be insane!" The driver came back to his senses, "I advise you not to go; don’t let curiosity cost you your lives!"
"We appreciate your concern," Ye Xuan said, "But we are still going."
Driver: "..."
What kind of nonsense is this?
In a hurry, Ye Xuan didn’t wait for the driver to continue his dithering and directly said, "Alright, mister, time waits for no one. Please hurry and take us there, I’ll pay you double the fare."
The driver wore a serious expression, "Sir, this is not about money. I have a wife and kids at home. You may not fear death, but I do!"
Ye Xuan lowered his gaze, "Ten times."
Boom!
The driver immediately started the car, slammed the gas pedal, and the whole vehicle shot forward in a certain direction, giving the feeling of flying.
Watching this scene, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but tug at the corners of his lips, feeling a bit pained about his wallet.
Considering how greedy the driver looked, ten times the fare was totally unnecessary, and he was more than willing to risk it all!
What a loss, a major loss!
...
One hour later.
Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao sat in the taxi, arriving in a dark forest outside Voros City, where the car slowly came to a halt.
Ye Xuan glanced at the surroundings, frowned, and said, "Mister, we haven’t arrived yet, right?"
"No, not yet," the driver deeply looked forward, his face tense and fearful, and said in a solemn voice, "But I can only take you this far. About a kilometer ahead is Hell Beach, and I don’t want to die there!"
"Alright," Ye Xuan felt speechless but understood the driver’s feelings, "How much?"
"Three hundred Alliance Coins," the driver responded.
Three hundred Alliance Coins are equivalent to around two thousand Yan Country Coins.
Clearly, the driver had given Ye Xuan more than a tenfold price hike.
Ye Xuan couldn’t be bothered to argue much, counted two thousand Yan Country Coins, and tossed them to the driver.
The driver was stunned: "Yan Country Coins?"
Ye Xuan said, "I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to exchange for Alliance Coins. If you don’t want it, you can return it."
The driver hurriedly pocketed the money.
Ye Xuan shrugged, took Lou Yaoyao, and got off the car.
Boom!
Almost at the moment the two got out of the car, the driver restarted the vehicle, made a beautiful tail drift, and disappeared in less than ten seconds.
Apparently, the driver would never have come here without the allure of ten times the fare, and even slightly approaching this direction wouldn’t have made him willing!
The psychological terror caused by Hell Beach for the people of Voros City is indeed exceptional!
"Let’s go."
Ye Xuan didn’t hesitate and took quick steps forward to continue the journey, moving at an astonishing pace.
Saving someone is like putting out a fire; there’s no room for hesitation.
Lou Yaoyao naturally wouldn’t lag behind and immediately followed closely behind Ye Xuan.
In the endless night, only a faint moonlight brought a bit of light to this realm as a male and female silhouette moved rapidly through the darkness like phantoms.
Due to this place being undisturbed by humans for many years, the forest was full of brambles, causing Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao’s progress to be delayed multiple times.
However, in just under ten minutes, they reached the so-called Hell Beach over the short one-kilometer journey.
The scene before them was a turbulent, serene, ghostly cold beach, clean and tranquil.
Occasionally, the cries of insects echoed, sounding like the roars of fierce ghosts.
The constant sound of the sea breeze was even more chilling and piercing!
Two words.
Desolation.
It was the most desolate and eerie beach Ye Xuan had ever seen or heard of!
"Hey handsome..."
In the extremely eerie and cold atmosphere, Lou Yaoyao nearly clung to Ye Xuan, speaking in a soft, pitiful voice that made one want to...
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows sharply, "Lou Yaoyao, straighten up!"
Lou Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and reluctantly released Ye Xuan before taking out a compass she carried with her.
Ye Xuan was taken aback, "Why a compass again?"
"Vampires are strange and mysterious, and in their tribe, there must be treasures similar to the Gathering Spirit Stone, otherwise they wouldn’t prosper through generations."
Lou Yaoyao pressed her lips and said, "As long as there’s a treasure, the nearby magnetic field will be affected, and the compass can play its role."
Ye Xuan was speechless.
So this is what you meant by needing you to find the vampire tribe?
Lou Yaoyao, you little troublemaker, you... you just wanted to stick with me all the way!
But realizing Lou Yaoyao’s shamelessness now was already too late; they had come this far, and it wouldn’t do to force her to leave at this point, right?
It’s impossible to drive her away; this woman is shameless!
Sighing helplessly and powerlessly, Ye Xuan fixed his gaze on the compass in Lou Yaoyao’s hand, unsurprisingly discovering that the compass needle was vibrating violently, finally settling in a direction after a series of rapid tremors.
Just ahead of them, slightly to the left towards the endless ocean!
"It’s settled!"
Lou Yaoyao smiled joyfully, pointing her delicate hand in that direction, "If we head straight in that direction, we’ll definitely find the Balkan Peninsula and judging by the compass reaction, the peninsula shouldn’t be too far from here!"
Ye Xuan nodded; in this endless sea, confirming direction is undoubtedly crucial, and with a fixed direction, finding the Balkan Peninsula is just one final step away.
Boat.
There’s no boat in this spooky place!
The ocean is so vast and deep; without a boat, are we supposed to swim across?
"Oh for God’s sake..."
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, and his head throbbed again.
This feeling is akin to two youngsters going shopping, watching a movie, having drinks, taking a bath, kissing, and undressing... doing everything, but missing the last step, only to find they don’t have Durex!
Infuriating!
Lou Yaoyao also realized this issue and instantly furrowed her eyebrows, "Hey handsome, what do we do now? This place is called Hell Beach by locals, not to mention ships, we can’t even find a decent plank, we can’t cross the sea!"
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. This troublesome issue is indeed not as easily solvable as finding direction.
It’s practically an unsolvable problem!
But just then.
A light shone in the endless dark ocean before them, followed by the roaring sound of a ship operating at high speed.
