As the Divine Dragon soared into the sky and vanished from sight, Gu Chen remained calm. He made a clear judgment based on the direction of its flight, which was precisely towards the Black Sea.
At Gu Chen's request, Brother Luo instructed his crew to steer the ship swiftly toward the shores of Qinghai Lake, deciding to continue the pursuit towards the Black Sea.
Brother Luo was a local familiar with the area, and he had heard from He Si that Gu Chen had helped him in the past. Therefore, they entrusted the task of finding transportation to Brother Luo, while He Si drove us toward the Black Sea.
What puzzled me was that Brother Luo was also coming along, and besides himself, he brought several others with him on this journey.
Noticing my confusion, He Si simply smiled and mentioned that having more hands would be helpful in case of any inconveniences at sea.
I found it strange and thought to myself about what help these people could provide.
However, I didn’t press further and sat silently in the car as we drove toward the Black Sea.
As someone who grew up in a rural area without much education, I had no idea where the Black Sea was. I assumed we could reach it by car.
To my surprise, we ended up needing to go abroad; this was my first time traveling outside the country, albeit in a rush.
This experience also showcased Gu Chen's capabilities and demonstrated what it meant to have extensive connections.
Aside from meal breaks, we drove day and night until we reached Imperial Capital Beijing. While on the road, Gu Chen had already arranged everything over the phone.
Upon arriving in the capital, we directly contacted relevant personnel and completed all necessary procedures for traveling abroad.
The Black Sea is located in Europe, and even the ships required for our journey had been arranged by the appropriate authorities.
This made me look at Gu Chen with newfound respect and recognition.
Since we were going abroad, taking a flight was only natural, and it was also the most relaxing and enjoyable time for the next little while.
On the plane, I asked Gu Chen how he knew those powerful figures.
He merely glanced at me and casually replied that as one ages, it’s inevitable to know more people.
But I understood in my heart that it was not as simple as he claimed.
The world can be divided into several types of people. The first type is those who have money; aside from some extreme situations, as long as the money is right, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.
The second type consists of those who hold real power. Of course, Gu Chen could not belong to either of these categories, so he must be the third type: someone capable.
Only a person with sufficient capability can connect with the first two types and interact with high-level individuals, making things much simpler.
A few days later, we arrived in Europe.
At the European airport, a pre-arranged vehicle came to pick us up and took us directly to our destination. Even the ship was already prepared.
It was a massive ocean liner, larger and more luxurious than Brother Luo's previous ship.
The driver who brought us was also Chinese. After we got out of the car, he politely informed us that all the necessary supplies for life on board had been prepared, with enough food for over a month.
He then asked Gu Chen if he needed to arrange for any sailors or similar personnel. Gu Chen graciously thanked him and requested only a ship's captain to take over from Brother Luo's crew. After all, we were here to search for the Divine Dragon, not for tourism; having too many people on board would serve no purpose.
Moreover, aside from me, Mu Yan, Mingyue, He Si, and Anfu, Brother Luo had already brought along a few people, which was more than enough.
Gazing at the vast, boundless sea before me, with towering waves rolling in, I couldn't help but notice that the water was black. I thought to myself, this must be the origin of the name "Black Sea."
Then, our group boarded the ship and slowly made our way toward the center of the Black Sea.
"Master, how can you be sure that the Divine Dragon has come here?" I finally asked, unable to contain my curiosity any longer as we sat on the ship.
"Just a guess," Gu Chen replied nonchalantly.
"Just a guess?" I couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Seeing my bewildered expression, Gu Chen shook his head slightly and explained, "The Jiao Long entered the water, so it must be near the sea. The Divine Dragon soared from Qinghai Lake, and the direction it left was toward this Black Sea. That's why I speculate it has come to this place."
The Black Sea was not like Qinghai Lake; it was larger and broader. Only in such an endless expanse of ocean could a divine creature like the Divine Dragon soar freely.
After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, I nodded slightly, feeling somewhat convinced and beginning to feel a sense of anticipation.
Regardless of everything else, as long as I could find the Divine Dragon and obtain its Dragon Blood, it would be for my own sake. Only then could I break the Demon King's Cauldron within me.
However, after several days of drifting in the Black Sea, we still had not caught sight of the Divine Dragon, which made me increasingly anxious.
Yet Gu Chen and He Si remained completely unperturbed. They reassured me that something like the Divine Dragon would not simply reveal itself at will; there was no need to rush—just wait patiently.
It wasn't until seven nights later that we finally spotted the Divine Dragon deep within the Black Sea. Just like in Qinghai Lake, it rode the winds and waves, revealing its massive form as it shot forward like lightning.
Without a moment's hesitation, upon seeing the Divine Dragon appear, our ship quickly pursued it.
The Divine Dragon seemed to sense our pursuit as well, but fortunately, it did not dive into the depths of the sea. Instead, it continued to race forward, cutting through the waves at an incredible speed.
We chased it for several days, crossing the Mediterranean and passing through the strait, ultimately entering the Atlantic.
The Atlantic, a vast and boundless ocean even more expansive than the Black Sea.
It was only at this point that everyone realized what was happening.
At that moment, the figure of the Divine Dragon vanished once again. In such a vast ocean, we were suddenly at a loss, unable to continue our pursuit.
As time passed, we gradually found ourselves deeper in the sea.
Based on the supplies available on board, there should have been no issues even as we ventured further into the Atlantic.
However, what no one anticipated was that during our search for the Divine Dragon, another terrifying and bizarre event would occur.
This was something that took everyone by surprise; it happened right here, in the Atlantic at coordinates 41°48' N latitude and 50°14' W longitude, near Newfoundland Island.
Initially, no one knew what this location represented or bothered to investigate further. The only thing we knew was that arriving here marked the beginning of a nightmare.
