Above the vast ocean, sixteen giant ships like black hills are sailing slowly in the southwest direction, stretching for more than ten miles from beginning to end.
On the deck of the No. 1 Hanhai giant boat at the front of the fleet, Shi Mu stood leaning on the railing, looking at the rough sea ahead, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
In mid-air, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder. It was Cai'er.
"How is it?" Shi Mu asked directly without replying.
"Stone, are you still worried about me taking action? I have just conducted a careful survey. The sea area of a hundred miles ahead is very safe, and there are no giant sea beasts lurking. I estimate that the sea beasts in the nearby sea areas should all gather in the previous place.
It's passed. Gee, that Liu'an is really amazing, with so many sea beasts, all at once..." Cai'er kept talking, seeming a little excited as she spoke.
"Judging from the half-human, half-fish creatures you saw before, these sea beasts should be controlled by the West Sea Tribe. The Mingyue Sect often goes to sea to hunt sea beasts for sacrifice, and also refines the bones of sea beasts into souls. I'm afraid
We have long had a feud with the Xihai Tribe." Before Cai'er could finish speaking, Shi Mu interrupted.
"Shitou, I don't understand what you mean." Cai'er tilted her head and said.
"If all the ships had turned around and taken a detour when we discovered the clue before, what do you think will happen next?" Shi Mu asked.
"I guess... they will chase after me," Cai'er said.
"That's right, these water tribes mobilized their troops this time because they probably want to catch all the Ming Yue Sect's fleet, so they won't give up until they achieve their goal. Even if we bypass it this time, they can set up a second time,
Even for the third ambush, we can't keep detouring endlessly," Shi Mu said.
"Shitou, are you saying that Liu'an deliberately allowed Curly Hair and the One-eyed Dragon to die?" Cai'er said.
"As far as I know, the secret technique Liu An just performed should be a high-level ghost technique called corpse explosion in the Ming Yue Sect. There are a total of 800 elite disciples of the Ming Yue Sect, plus those who were killed before.
Only then can the remaining sea beasts be almost wiped out in one fell swoop..." Shi Mu said.
"That's it! This Liu'an is so scary! Shitou, it's a good thing you didn't join the Ming Yue Sect. This sect is so evil that it even harms its own people!" Cai'er said, trembling all over.
"Actually, if he didn't do this, more people might die. But only he could do this." Shi Mu sighed softly.
Cai'er didn't seem to understand what Shi Mu meant, and was about to open her mouth to ask again. At this moment, there was a commotion on the ship.
Shi Mu turned his head and looked around and found two black spots on the sea in the northwest direction.
The black spots gradually became larger, but they were two huge ships on the vast sea, heading here.
Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light, and he immediately had a clear view of the situation on the two ships.
The surfaces of the two giant boats, which were as big as hills, were full of traces of fierce battles.
Liu An, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, was standing on the bow of the first ship with an indifferent expression. Huo Qing was standing behind Liu An with an extremely pale face. His previous arrogance and arrogance had long disappeared.
At this moment, there was news in the air that several figures flew out from the giant boat behind and landed on the deck of the No. 1 Vast Sea giant boat. They were none other than Di Feng, Pang Yu and other five palace masters.
Everyone looked at the two giant boats with dim auras in the distance, with different expressions and no one spoke.
After a while, the two giant boats approached.
Liu An jumped up and landed on the deck of the No. 1 giant boat. Huo Qing hesitated for a moment and flew over as well.
When Di Feng, Pang Yu and other five palace masters saw this, they immediately surrounded him.
When Shi Mu saw this, he didn't go over.
"Huo Qing, where is Master Wu? Where are the other four ships?" Di Feng looked at Huo Qing with a pale face and asked coldly.
Huo Qing did not dare to look directly at Di Feng, his face turned red and he said nothing.
"It was already too late when I passed by. Hall Master Huo and his fleet were ambushed by a large number of sea beasts, including several earth-level sea beasts. In the end, four giant ships were destroyed and everyone was killed. Hall Master Wu died unfortunately. It should be the fault of the Xihai Tribe."
At this moment, Liu An spoke.
Although everyone present probably guessed what happened, they were still shocked when they heard Liu An's words.
"Palace Master Liu, are those sea beasts chasing you now?" Pang Yu seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly.
"Probably not." Liu An was about to use the corpse at the scene as a guide to use the corpse explosion technique to severely injure the sea beast.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
Although the Corpse Explosion Technique is a high-level technique, basically all moon-level soul masters at the scene have learned it. It must be performed on fresh corpses, and its power is related to the cultivation level of the detonated corpse and the number of corpses. Its principle is to detonate
The true energy or mana in the corpse's Dantian can produce huge destructive power.
However, the corpse explosion technique using more than a thousand corpses as a guide was really shocking. No one on the scene had ever tried such a large-scale technique.
But I expected that even a few more, let alone a few earth-level sea beasts, would be nothing to worry about.
Although most of these corpses were disciples of the Ming Yue Sect, since they had already died at the hands of sea beasts, Liu An's actions were understandable, and it also eliminated future hidden dangers.
"I have my own way, and I, Huo Qing, am willing to be punished." At this moment, Huo Qing raised his head and said.
"Palace Master Huo wants to arrive at Xihe Continent as early as possible, and his original intention is for the sake of our sect. But now that this has happened, if we don't punish him, we will not be able to convince everyone. Hall Master Pang, Master Di, these two ships will be under your jurisdiction. As for Hall Master Huo,
I will sit back and think about my mistakes on the No. 1 giant ship while I recover from my injuries. Let me redeem myself when I arrive at the Saiga Continent one day." Yanagishi said.
"Yes." Pang Yu and Di Feng agreed immediately.
"Thank you so much, Master Liu!" Huo Qing, instead of resenting Liu An's deprivation of power, seemed somewhat grateful.
Not far away, Shi Mu glanced at Liu An, a strange color flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"Okay. Everyone is in their positions. No more mistakes can be made during the next voyage!" Liu An ordered.
All the hall masters present agreed in unison.
…
Quyang City, once the most prosperous capital city of the ancient Xixia Kingdom, is now a mess after the war.
Although all human corpses in the city have been cleared away, the city is full of broken tiles, ruins and traces of blood. Especially the Xicheng District, which was once controlled by the Mingyue Sect, has become a ruin.
The brutality of the battle that day can be seen from this.
However, on Xikuang Street in Dongcheng District, there is a building that is intact and seems not to have been baptized by the war at all, and that is the Tianwu Weapons Store.
At this time, on a stone-strewn street near the Tianwu weapons store, stood a young girl wearing aqua clothes and a gauze veil.
This woman's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, and everything she saw along the way made her feel very uneasy.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, lifting the gauze on the woman's face, revealing a stunning face that could be broken by a blow. It was none other than Zhong Xiu.
She held a letter in her hand, and after pondering for a moment, she walked lightly towards the door of the shop.
…
Three months later, early morning.
The sun is shining brightly and the sea is calm.
This is rare good weather at sea.
On the West Sea, more than a dozen giant ships lined up in a line, cutting through the wind and waves on the sea, sailing forward.
Although the Vast Sea Giant Boat is a spiritual weapon-level giant boat, it has been continuously sailing on the sea for two months, and the surface of the originally brand-new giant boat has many traces left by wind and sun.
However, there were originally eighteen giant ships, and now there are only seventeen left.
The giant boat that collapsed in the deep sea was one of the two boats that had returned with Huo Qing. Due to the heavy damage it received at the time, it was still unable to persevere in the face of the raging tsunami and the occasional sudden appearance of sea beasts.
Even with Cai'er's large-scale detection, it's impossible to take a detour as soon as you encounter a sea monster.
At this moment, on the giant boat No. 1 at the front, Shi Mu was closing his eyes tightly and assuming a strange posture like sucking the sun.
Occasionally, one or two Ming Yue Sect disciples walked by, looking at Shi Mu with awe and admiration, and no one dared to come and disturb them.
Because he had successfully predicted the ambush of sea monsters before, he now has a high status on the giant ship and has received considerable courtesy from the Ming Yue Sect.
Therefore, during this period of time, as long as the weather allowed, he would practice the moon-swallowing pose and the sun-absorbing pose through dreams. After all, in the eyes of others, Shi Mu was just practicing a certain skill.
After a moment, Shi Mu opened his eyes.
Since there is no way to find the peak of the mountain on the vast sea, the effect of the Sun-Sucking Style is not good. But even so, the golden crystal grains in his mind have reached the size of a fingernail, and the condensed silver of the Moon-Swallowing Style is
The white crystal grains once again reached the size of a dragon eye.
He is quite satisfied with this result.
He stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked to the bow of the ship, looking forward.
The vast sea area is filled with endless sea water. Compared with the endless ocean, a dozen huge ships in the vast sea are pitiful and insignificant.
Shi Mu looked at the sea in front of him and couldn't help but recall his hometown. The East China Sea also had a similar scene, but he didn't know what the situation there was now.
With a flash of shadow, Cai'er flew over and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.
"Why don't you go explore the situation ahead?" Shi Mu asked.
"It's okay, the number of sea beasts in the sea has obviously decreased a lot in the past two days." Cai'er said.
"Oh, really?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The number of sea beasts has decreased. Could it be that they are approaching the Saiga Continent?
"Brother Shi, are you awake?" At this moment, a voice came from behind, but it was Liu An walking over.
Hearing this, Cai'er looked back at Liu An, quickly spread her wings and flew up, landing on the top of the sail.
"Brother Liu." Shi Mu turned around and greeted Liu An.
"Haha, it seems that Cai'er still doesn't like me very much." Liu An walked to Shi Mu and stood next to him, looked up at Cai'er and said.
"Brother Liu is overly worried. I asked Cai'er to explore the sea ahead." Shi Mu said.

Haha, it’s Children’s Day tomorrow, it’s such a nostalgic holiday! (To be continued.)
