The tide rises and falls, and the waves are continuous.

The waves rolled and rolled endlessly, rushing in from a distance, as if they were about to engulf and sweep everything away.

The remnant sun obliquely shines, printing red half of the sky, like blood, dazzling, rendering the sea water in the distance, as if covered with a layer of red glow, stretching thousands of miles away.

The waves were endless, as if a big hand with great force slapped on the potholed reef again and again, bursting one after another, splashing countless waves, but the reef did not move, as if it had been like this since ancient times.

The reef rises like a lone peak, and stands like a giant sword at the junction of the sea and the land, and on one of the more gentle waves of the reef is a figure sitting quietly, holding a fishing rod like a statue.

Suddenly, the fishing line tightened, and a strong pull instantly straightened the fishing rod, and the powerful force made the figure on the reef tremble, and the body unconsciously tilted forward, as if it was about to be pulled down.

In an instant, the man's body under the gray coarse cloth trembled, and between the tremors and muscles, he instantly resisted the huge pull, and the strength of the whole body penetrated through his arms, and suddenly he lifted it, and the fishing rod was pulled into a curved arc like a waning moon, as if it could not bear to break.

But this man used dexterity, loosening and tightening, lifting and pulling, not only so that the rod would not break, but also catch the things in the water.

It was a large fish nearly a meter long, its black scales glittering in the remnant sun, its body that didn't look fat struggled and swayed violently, and its tail swayed, as if it had a huge force that could shatter mountain rocks.

This is a black-scaled fish, inhabiting the reef group, perennial by the impact of the waves, fighting with the waves, training an amazing strength, although it does not look fat at all, but the meat is very tough, chewy, delicious to eat, but also very hungry.

For the people of the village, this blackfish is so delicious that most people can't eat it because it's too difficult to catch.

However, for Chen Zong, it is nothing, as long as he wants to eat, Chen Zong will come here to fish, and it is easy to catch dozens of catties of black-scale fish.

Carrying dozens of catties of black-scaled fish, with the body of this ordinary person now, Chen Zong also felt heavy, fortunately, although his cultivation and strength were lost, Chen Zong's heart was still there, and the application and mastery of his own strength still existed.

Chen Zong has tested it before, his body is very healthy, and his one-arm strength can lift about 100 catties, which is good in the village, of course, compared with before, it is a world of difference.

The previous body, not to mention a hundred catties of weight, even if it was a 150,000 jin gilded Shenyue sword Chen Zong could easily swing it with one arm.

The difference between 100 catties and 100,000 catties is simply compared to the scorching sun.

But Chen Zong has an extraordinary control over himself, which can be called perfect, so the strength of a hundred catties in one arm can be exerted several times, two hundred catties, three hundred catties or even four hundred catties.

Of course, if Chen Zong's strength had hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 jin before, he would not be able to exert it to the extent of 400,000 jin or even 600,000 jin.

At the end of the day, that's the realm.

The strength was lost, but Chen Zong's realm was not deprived.

With a superb realm to control the power of a hundred catties, it is naturally extraordinary.

Carrying dozens of catties of black-scale fish, Chen Zongfei was on the reef, and every step was two or three meters away, very smooth as walking on the ground.

In a short time, Chen Zong broke away from the reef group, landed on the shore, and ran briskly, like a cheetah.

The village was about a few kilometers away from here, and to cultivators, a few thousand meters was nothing, but to ordinary people, it would take a lot of time to cross a few thousand meters, even if it was to maintain a sprint speed.

Running wildly at a sprint speed, a normal person can't support it at all, let alone carrying a black-scaled fish weighing dozens of pounds.

Chen Zong is an ordinary person now, but he is not an ordinary person either.

The body is an ordinary person's body, but the realm is very superb, so the potential of this body can be more fully explored, without hurting the body, every bit of strength is applied to the extreme, the muscles, bones, muscles, etc. are fully mobilized, coordinated with each other, so as to exert several times the effect.

Even if Chen Zong wanted to, he could risk the physical injury and exert his strength to the point of being stronger.

It's just that there's no need for that.

It's like a cheetah running on the field, and the muscles under the coarse cloth are undulating, so that the whole body is full of unique rhythm, and it looks like there is a sense of toning.

Thousands of meters will also take some time for Chen Zong to cross now, and the moment he stepped into the village, Chen Zong also reduced his speed and changed to walking.

After a quick run, the blood ran faster, the whole body was hot, and sweat couldn't help but come out, but Chen Zong did not feel tired, but had a feeling after full exercise, as if full of strength.

"Brother Zong'er, I'm going fishing again, this must weigh dozens of pounds. The dark-skinned middle-aged man carrying a hoe greeted with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Li, I'll send a few catties later. Chen Zong said with a smile.

"That's a good idea, I'll have a few drinks later. Uncle Li smiled heartily.

Walking all the way, returning home along the way, everyone who meets them will greet each other, and they are a very harmonious scene.

This is not an illusion.

This village is called Shanhai Village, the name is very good, it can be said that it is by the mountains and the sea, but in fact it is just a small village, and the villagers in the whole village, old and young, men and women, add up, but there are only about a hundred.

As a village surrounded by mountains and seas, Shanhai Village is not short of food, and the standard of living is still very good.

Villagers can go to the offshore sea to catch fish and shrimp, go to the foot of the mountain to farm, look for wild vegetables, and even go into the mountains to hunt and so on.

Of course, there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, and there is no small danger, even if an experienced old hunter enters the mountain, there will inevitably be a danger of dying under the claws of the beasts, therefore, there are very few hunters in the mountains, and if it is not necessary, it is generally not too deep.

Greeting all the way, Chen Zong carried the blackfish back to his humble wooden house.

This wooden house has a bedroom, a kitchen and a latrine, although it is relatively old, but it is quite complete, and basically everything you should have.

Chen Zong began to slaughter the black-scaled fish, and with a light slap with one hand, but it contained an amazing amount of power, directly slapping the head of the black-scale fish, causing it to die, and quickly scraping off the scales with the other, and then cutting it into pieces.

Chen Zong has never practiced the knife technique, but the sword technique and the knife technique have something in common, therefore, a knife in the bracelet to turn Ruyi, the knife work is exquisite to the extreme, and it is beautiful and can be called art.

After quickly processing the blackfish, mixing the huge fish head with some sun-dried herbs and stewing it in a pot, and then mixing the rice with some air-dried bacon and putting it in the pot to steam, Chen Zong walked out with a dozen pieces of fish and meat, ready to give them to the rest of the village one by one.

There are hundreds of people in Shanhai Village, including the old and weak, women and children, and it is very virtuous for the people in the village to respect the old and love the young, and Chen Zong also did it spontaneously.

After sending the fish meat back to the house, the fish head was also stewed, and the fragrance was overflowing, Chen Zong thought about it while eating with fish.

More than a month has passed since he entered here that day, and Chen Zong feels as if he has integrated into this and into this mountain and sea village.

In other words, it seems that he was a person from Shanhai Village from the beginning, but he suspected that this was an illusion and had been resisting, but as time passed, this resistance was actually weakening.

Even if Chen Zong wanted to strengthen his resistance, he couldn't do it, everything was changing imperceptibly.

For more than a month, Chen Zong didn't find any way to explore the illusion, and even made all kinds of attempts he could think of, and Chen Zong also tried to cultivate, but there was no effect.

Whether it is qi training or body refining, no matter what kind of exercises are changed, no matter what kind of cultivation method is changed, it will not be able to achieve any effect on cultivation.

Unable to cultivate any power, Chen Zong didn't care very much, after all, this is an illusion, although it can't be deciphered to be extremely real, but it can't be denied that this is an illusion.

Since he is in an illusion and his strength is deprived, it is normal that he cannot cultivate his strength.

The only thing that is going on is to find a way to break through the illusion.

Chen Zong was thinking about leaving Shanhai Village.

Shanhai Village was the only village in the vicinity, it was almost isolated, and even Chen Zong was suspicious that there was only Shanhai Village in this illusory territory, and there were no other villages or towns.

Even in other villages, it is very difficult to get out.

Because, Shanhai Village is surrounded by the sea and mountains.

Leaving Shanhai Village, you either cross the sea or climb the mountain, there is no third way to go.

If the cultivation is still there, whether it is climbing the mountains or crossing the sea, Chen Zong can do it, but now, he is just an ordinary person, even if he has a superb realm, has superhuman control over himself, and can exert several times his strength, he can completely deal with dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people with his own strength, but he can't get out of the category of physical mortals.

Fierce beasts are rampant in the mountains, tigers and giant bears are all there, very terrifying, and even rumored to have more terrible beasts inhabiting, extremely dangerous, and the sea is unpredictable, if you encounter a tsunami and so on, with your current body, you can't resist a bit.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Zong was allowed to stay temporarily.

"But relatively speaking, maybe it's safer to go over the mountains than to cross the sea. Chen Zong said secretly.

Although there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, with their superb realm and skills, even if they are just ordinary people's bodies, they are somewhat sure, as for the sea, once they enter it, they can't help themselves.

But before leaving, you still need to make some adequate preparations.

First of all, there must be a sharp sword.

With the sword in hand, the body can be more thoroughly played, and secondly, there is a set of armor to better protect the body of this ordinary person.

Although there are only about a hundred people in Shanhai Village, not much, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, but all kinds of facilities are quite perfect, and there is a blacksmith room, there is an old blacksmith and a blacksmith apprentice, this old blacksmith has been in the business for decades, experienced.

Of course, what the old blacksmith built was basically practiced with a hoe and sickle, in addition, some hunting knives were occasionally made, and as for the sword, it is estimated that it has never been cast, but it doesn't matter, Chen Zong only needs to use the blacksmith's room.
