Chapter two hundred and ninety fourth hidden crisis
Under the sky covered with dark clouds, the strong wind was like an enraged beast, howling incessantly between the sky and the earth.
The waves on the vast sea are turbulent. At a glance, you can see rows of huge waves several feet high. Amidst the deafening sound of the waves, they are like thousands of troops charging at the sea.
A fleet of twenty-two giant ships cleaved through the waves like a black sea snake that stretched for miles, moving from east to west.
Every ship in the fleet is like a black hill, with flashes of spiritual light all over its body, and is constantly being swallowed up or held up high by the dark waves.
But when the waves subsided, they still sailed stubbornly on the sea.
In a room on one of the ships in the fleet.
Shi Mu sat cross-legged on his bed, sitting quietly with his eyes closed.
This room is very small, only about two or three feet.
Because of the limited space on the ship, the rooms everyone lives in are very small.
At this time, the wind and waves were high outside, and there was no one outside at all. Basically everyone was hiding in their rooms to rest.
Shi Mu raised his hands in front of him, and the blue jade shuttle floated in his hands, emitting bursts of green light.
This object was the treasure obtained by killing the young Taoist priest of Tongtian Immortal Sect that day. After these days of sacrifice, Shi Mu already knew that this jade shuttle was a rather precious flying spiritual weapon.
Earth-level warriors, or moon-level warlocks, or a few star-level warlocks like Shi Mu, can all practice some flying skills by chance, such as Shi Mu's air cloud technique.
It's just that this type of spell is more suitable for short-distance flights and is more useful in combat.
Only by cultivating one's cultivation to reach the heavenly level, or through some other means, can one truly achieve flying in the air.
Flying magical weapons or spiritual weapons are one of them.
It is extremely difficult to refine ordinary offensive spiritual weapons, and the number of flying spiritual weapons is far less than that of offensive spiritual weapons.
It had been a while since Shi Mu had been in the central area of the Dongzhou Continent. This blue jade shuttle was the first flying spiritual weapon he had seen. Fortunately, he seized the opportunity and snatched it away without ceremony.
However, the temperature and nourishment of this cyan jade shuttle was far more difficult than that of the Money Sword. Shi Mu had worked hard for a long time, but he could only refine it less than 20%, and could not carry him to fly.
As for the other two spiritual weapons taken from the young Taoist priest, he had not yet had time to warm them up and refine them.
As time passed, a green light suddenly flashed on the surface of the blue jade shuttle, a green line lit up, and the green light emitted by the jade shuttle became brighter.
Shi Mu opened his eyes, with a hint of joy on his face, looked at Yusuo, and nodded.
With a flash of blue light, the jade shuttle was taken into his body.
He turned over his hand and took out a sapphire ring, which was the storage ring of the young Taoist priest.
This person's wealth is definitely the largest that Shi Mu has encountered so far.
Of course, those three spiritual weapons are the most precious things among them, but in addition to the spiritual weapons, his storage ring also contains a large number of spiritual stones, talismans, and elixirs. The spiritual stones alone amount to thirty to forty thousand.
.
Shi Mu's wallet is now richer than ever.
"That guy, isn't he the illegitimate son of Taoist Wuchen?" Shi Mu couldn't help but make random guesses sometimes.
He shook his head, put away the sapphire ring, got out of bed, and opened a small window in the room.
You can see the sea outside through the window, and the rough waves are coming one after another. However, the giant ship in the vast sea is so huge that the wind and waves will not affect the navigation at all.
At this moment, half a month had passed since they entered the West Sea, and the Tongtian Immortal Sect and Tianmo Sect did not pursue them, which made everyone feel relieved.
Although we encountered several big waves during this half month of sailing, we finally passed without any danger.
Shi Mu looked around and frowned slightly. Cai'er was not in the room. She must have been bored again and ran outside by herself.
The sea was very rough and rough. At first, Shi Mu was worried that Cai'er would be swept away by the strong wind. However, as time went by, he realized that this worry was completely unnecessary. Cai'er seemed to be extremely accustomed to flying in the strong wind and was not affected at all.
At this moment, Cai'er's voice came from Shi Mu's mind.
"Shitou, something is wrong. Take a look."
As soon as Cai'er finished speaking, a picture appeared in Shi Mu's mind.
On the pitch-black seabed, dozens of strange-looking sea beasts, measuring more than thirty feet in size, were faintly entangled in an arc, swimming slowly.
There are also countless smaller sea beasts around them.
Shi Mu's expression changed. With so many sea beasts, it would be troublesome if they suddenly attacked.
"Cai'er, go and take a look around. How many more situations like this are there?" Shi Mu was shocked and quickly gave Cai'er an order in his consciousness.
"Leave it to me, no matter how deep they hide, they can't escape my eyes!" Cai'er responded triumphantly.
After Shi Mu's expression changed for a moment, he pushed open the door and came to the deck.
The wind was high and the waves were strong outside, the wind was howling, and there was a gloomy atmosphere between heaven and earth.
He looked towards the west, where the waves were still surging. From a distance, the No. 1 giant boat at the front had become a black spot.
Soon, Cai'er's voice sounded again.
"Stone, it's bad! There are still many sea beasts coming around the sea beasts just now, there are so many of them!" Cai'er croaked.
While Cai'er was speaking, a large number of pictures also appeared in Shi Mu's mind. There were terrifying giant octopuses, ferocious-looking large sharks that were thirty feet long, and many even larger deep-sea giant whales, and more.
Most of them were large sea beasts that even Shi Mu couldn't name.
These rare giant beasts in the sea are now everywhere in Cai'er's sight, and they are all at peace with each other.
These sea beasts are right in front of the fleet. According to the speed of the giant ship in the vast sea, it will plunge into the sea beasts in less than two hours.
Shi Mu's face looked a little ugly, and he flashed towards a room above the cabin.
As soon as he took two steps, a huge wave rushed towards him.
A red light flashed outside Shi Mu's body, and his true energy condensed into a thick shield, protecting him within it.
There was a loud "pop" sound.
The huge waves submerged Shi Mu and hit the ship's deck buildings. A flash of light flashed on the ship's deck buildings, and they were safe.
As soon as the waves receded, Shi Mu immediately accelerated and ran along the passage on the ship towards the fifth-floor loft.
Not long after, Shi Mu appeared at the entrance to the fifth floor of the attic.
At the entrance of the stairs, two Ming Yue Sect disciples dressed in gray were standing near the entrance.
"Senior Shi!" When the two saw Shi Mu, they hurriedly saluted.
Due to the previous attack by the Tongtian Immortal Sect, Shi Mu's identity has been exposed. Liu An claimed that Shi Mu was a friend of the Mingyue Sect. Shi Mu killed the young Taoist priest of the Tongtian Immortal Sect that day and showed his great power.
The matter has already spread among the fleet, and ordinary disciples are also quite awe-inspiring towards Shi Mu.
"You two, is the Master of Pang Palace here?" Shi Mu said.
"Senior Shi, wait a moment, the palace master is inside. I will go in and report." A gray-robed disciple with an old look on the left said immediately.
"No need to announce, I heard it all." There was a sound of footsteps, and the young woman in the gray dress walked out.
"Master Pang!" The two disciples saluted the young woman in gray skirt.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, what happened?" The young woman in gray skirt waved her hands towards the two of them, then looked at Shi Mu and asked.
Shi Mu went straight to the point and briefly talked about the lurking sea beasts. When the young woman in gray skirt heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
The two gatekeeper disciples also looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The young woman in the gray dress looked towards the sea ahead. There were rough waves in front of her eyes, and she could not see anything. There were no traces of sea beasts within the range of her spiritual consciousness.
The young woman in gray dress frowned slightly, looked at Shi Mu, and asked:
"Are you sure?"
"This is absolutely true. Shi has a bird spirit pet that can see things deep under the water. These giant sea beasts gathered in front of the fleet for no reason, and their target is probably us. Just in case, I
It is suggested that the fleet should turn around immediately." Shi Mu said.
The young woman in gray skirt flashed her eyes. In the past half month, the fleet has basically not encountered groups of large sea beasts along the way, and it has been relatively smooth. However, this is the depths of the West Sea, which is already the territory of the sea tribe. It has encountered sea beasts.
The possibility of siege is not impossible.
She pondered for a moment, turned over her hand and took out a small bronze clock, and activated her magic power.
The spiritual patterns on the surface of the copper bell suddenly lit up in circles, and under the flash of light, loud and clear copper sounds were heard in the distance.
This is the early warning weapon prepared by the Ming Yue Sect for this voyage. In case of emergency, all ships can be notified immediately.
After the bell rang, within a moment of burning the incense, all twenty-two giant ships in the vast sea stopped one after another.
"What happened?"
When the palace masters in charge of each giant boat heard the sound, they all walked out of their rooms and flew towards the giant boat where the young woman in the gray skirt was.
"Master Pang Hall, what happened? Why did the alarm bell sound suddenly?" A blue light fell, and a curly-haired man appeared. It was Huo Qing, the master of Canglang Hall, with great dissatisfaction in his voice.
One figure after another fell down, and within a moment, all the palace masters were already present.
"Sister Pang, what happened?" Liu An glanced at Shi Mu, who was standing next to the young woman in gray dress, and asked.
"There is a very important urgent matter that needs to be discussed with everyone." The young girl nodded.
At the moment, she repeated Shi Mu's words and her guess.
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and then their expressions changed.
"Brother Shi, are you sure?" Liu An looked at Shi Mu and asked.
Shi Mu nodded.
"The Hai Clan has indeed been a little too quiet along the way. To be on the safe side, the fleet should immediately turn around and avoid the dangerous sea area ahead. Please go back and make arrangements for yourself." Liu An nodded, turned around and said
Made your own decision.
This time, the Tongtian Immortal Sect and the Tianmo Sect invaded Xixia. If not for Liu An's ingenious arrangements and the twenty-five vast sea boats that he assembled in a short period of time, the Mingyue Eastern Sect would have been destroyed. In addition, he single-handedly used his own strength that day.
, dragging Taoist Wuchen along the coast, buying valuable time for the fleet ahead and greatly increasing his prestige.
The crossing of the sea to Xihe Continent this time was dangerous and unpredictable, and most of the remaining palace masters began to be led by Liu An.
Although these people were a little uncomfortable with the tone of Liu An's direct order, they looked like they had no objections to his arrangement.
After all, it is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.
"I don't think so!" At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
