Time flows quietly like water, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On the endless blue sea, clouds of gray mist appeared before our eyes.
"Your Highness Commandery Princess, you are about to enter Misty Sea Region."
Vice Admiral Hong Ye stepped onto the deck and spoke respectfully to Princess Lingyu.
"Well, Vice Admiral Hong, you know more about maritime matters than I do. If you need to pay attention to anything, you can just tell me."
Princess Lingyu nodded slightly and said with a smile, her eyes fell on the sea fog not far ahead.
She spent most of her time practicing in Imperial Capital. When she came out this time, she was quite curious about Misty Sea Region, which could barely be regarded as Earth-Ban on the sea.
This is why she chose to go to sea with the ship.
"Subordinates take orders."
Hong Ye responded respectfully, bowed to Granny Shi on the side, and then strode away.
"Granny Shi, you know a lot about the sea. What can Misty Sea Region say?"
Ling Yu asked softly.
"Among the several Jedi known to the Eastern Sea, the most dangerous ones are Withered Sea Vortex and Wind and Thunder Prison. Even if someone as powerful as Grandmaster enters them, they may not be able to escape. In comparison, the danger level of Misty Sea Region can only be regarded as one of the lower reaches among the Jedi, and only the most core area is quite dangerous."
Granny Shi seemed to know Eastern Sea quite well, and spoke calmly as if he knew all the treasures he knew.
"Although I don't know exactly how this strange fog was generated, there are probably a few Demon Beasts entrenched in it."
"However, we won't be able to reach the core of Misty Sea Region during this trip. The probability of encountering Demon Beast is not high, and even if we encounter Demon Beast in the sea, it won't be a problem if I am here."
Her tone was calm, but her words were full of confidence.
After all, the Demon Beast level Strange Beast is just equivalent to the human Divine Form Martial Artist.
However, Demon Beast's physique, talent, etc. are obviously much better than those of human warriors.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary Divine Form Martial Artist to deal with Demon Beast.
Although there are some extremely powerful examples in Demon Beast that can fight against Grandmaster across borders.
But those are only a minority after all.
She didn't think she would encounter Demon Beast of this level among Misty Sea Region.
By bad luck, this trip really happened to them.
As a real strong Grandmaster, plus Sea Dragon bloodline.
In the ocean, her strength will not be compromised but will be enhanced, making her strong enough to cope with it.
What's more, in addition to her, a real strong Grandmaster, there are nearly ten Divine Form Martial Artists in this trip. Ordinary Demon Beasts can handle them without her taking action.
In the cabin.
Lin Sheng slowly opened his eyes, absorbed and refined all the coldness in the room, and then spoke.
"Come in."
Soon the hatch opened and Leech stepped in.
"Sir, we are about to enter Misty Sea Region."
Leech bowed his hands and said.
"Are we there yet? It's pretty quick."
There was a look of surprise in Lin Sheng's eyes. According to the original estimate, it would take two days to reach Misty Sea Region.
It seems that the speed of this Military Department warship is not comparable to that of ordinary merchant ships.
"How far is it from Storm Reef?"
"According to what my subordinates see, it should take another 5 days."
Leech thought for a moment and replied.
"Five days? That's fine, just let me know then."
Lin Sheng nodded.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Leech said goodbye and left.
Lin Sheng fell into practice again.
He had some insights into Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture's practice, and his practice efficiency had improved a lot, so he took advantage of this time to refine Demon Resonance as much as possible.
Soon, it was nightfall.
In the gray fog, three giant warships tore through the thick fog and sailed through it.
Every warship was engulfed in intense firelight.
In Misty Sea Region, the field of vision is greatly affected. These fires are the connection between each other, so as not to fall behind and get lost.
A large number of fish could be seen swimming in the sea water. Instead of being afraid after seeing such a huge warship, they followed the warship closely.
On the deck, Lin Sheng grabbed the railing and looked at the sea water.
Having just finished practicing, he was quite curious about this Misty Sea Region, so he naturally wanted to come out and have a look.
"These sea fish are Sea Ghost Fish. Despite their small size, they have sharp teeth that can even bite through steel. They are quite ferocious and cannibalism is common."
Seemingly noticing Lin Sheng's gaze, Hong Ye on the deck smiled and explained.
Regarding Lin Sheng, his attitude was also quite polite.
"Sea Ghost Fish? I don't know how ferocious it is."
Lin Sheng raised his eyebrows.
From the outside, these Sea Ghost Fish are quite harmless to humans and animals.
The scales are crystal clear, reflecting a little luster under the dim moonlight. The two bulging eyes occupy nearly a third of the head. They look quite cute, but they are quite lethal to women.
From the mouth that opens and closes from time to time, you can indeed see the densely packed sharp teeth on the fingers.
This made Lin Sheng couldn't help but think of something like the piranha on Blue Star.
But the piranha obviously cannot compare with this Sea Ghost Fish.
"Don't be deceived by their appearance. Lin Sheng, do you know why these Sea Ghost Fish have been following us?"
Hong Ye smiled mysteriously.
"Why?" Lin Sheng said softly.
"Of course it's to wait for our ship to be destroyed, so that they can swarm us and have a feast."
Hong Ye smiled.
"Ordinary ships cannot last long under the sharp teeth of Sea Ghost Fish. This Sea Ghost Fish can also be regarded as a major danger to Misty Sea Region. However, the warships built by Black Gold Ironwood are naturally not included in this category. Even if they crush their teeth, they will not be able to damage the ship at all."
"Aren't there other Sea Regions like this Sea Ghost Fish?"
Lin Sheng asked with some confusion.
"Of course this exists, but the number of Sea Ghost Fishs from other Sea Regions is not large enough to pose any threat. Only among Misty Sea Regions are there such densely packed groups of Sea Ghost Fishs. I don't know why they are so popular. It may have something to do with the gray fog."
Hong Ye shook his head slightly and explained.
"After all, there are many special sea beasts in Misty Sea Region that are rare to see in ordinary Sea Region. They are all quite difficult to deal with. It is estimated that we will inevitably encounter some during this trip."
Lin Sheng listened quietly, as General Eastern Sea Military Department.
Hong Ye undoubtedly knows Misty Sea Region quite well.
After listening to what he said, Misty Sea Region felt a little more mysterious in Lin Sheng's heart.
This gray mist cannot appear for no reason.
In addition to blocking the line of sight, these fogs also have a certain shielding effect on the five senses.
Even with his current perception, being in the gray fog is only about half of what it usually is.
If you put it on an ordinary person, if it is more than two meters in front of you, you will be completely lost.
"I wonder what the secrets are in this Misty Sea Region?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind.
Thinking about whether to go into the sea to check it out.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Sheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the leading warship several hundred meters ahead.
Because the gray fog obscures the sight, it is still possible to accurately determine its location based on the strong firelight on it.
But with his eyes focused, he could still roughly see the figures hurriedly moving on the boat.
That seems to be what happened.
Just when he wanted to remind Hong Ye, a dull horn sound came from the warship ahead.
The sound of the trumpet is low but extremely penetrating, even if it is blocked by gray fog, it can still be heard clearly.
"Something happened!?"
The moment he heard the trumpet sound, Hong Ye looked solemn.
"Lin Sheng, please be careful, I'll go over and take a look."
After saying this, Hong Ye quickly walked towards the ship's command room.
Watching the other party leave, Lin Sheng switched to Aurora Jellyfish and entered his body with a thought.
With the addition of Perception Boost at ten o'clock, the influence of the gray fog on his perception was greatly reduced in an instant.
Looking again, he saw huge shadows surrounding the warship in front of him on the sea hundreds of meters away.
Not only that, but there were also several huge groups of shadows that were quickly approaching the warship at his feet.
"This is..."
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see clearly what these huge shadows were.
As the shadow gets closer and closer, the true appearance of the shadow is finally revealed.
These huge shadows are not giant sea beasts, but strange sea beasts about the size of a bucket, round and covered with long black spines.
It's like an enlarged version of a puffer fish, but there are no eyes, mouth or other organs on its body.
The long thorns on these pufferfish are connected to each other, and there are at least hundreds of strange pufferfish gathered together in each huge shadow.
And the bodies of these weird puffer fish seem to be expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the interest calculation time has increased by as much as one-third.
"What is this?"
Lin Sheng frowned and had to admit that the number and variety of sea beasts in the Eastern Sea were far beyond his imagination. He had never heard of many sea beasts, let alone seen them.
Just when he was thinking about going into the sea to catch one and see what this puffer fish was.
Just listen to the clicking sound of the mechanism shifting from the hulls on both sides of the warship.
I saw giant cannon barrels as thick as buckets drilled out of the hulls on both sides.
A bright yellow flame ignited from the barrel, followed by a deafening roar the next moment.
A huge wave of more than ten feet has broken out on the sea surface.
The huge shadows composed of those weird puffer fish were instantly blown to pieces.
However, these scattered shadows reunited again, only to be followed by several loud noises from the hull of the ship, shattering the shadows again.
This time the strange puffer fish survived the explosion as if it was frightened.
He hid under the water in panic and soon disappeared.
The same situation is happening on the warships ahead.
After a few cannon shots, the crisis was over.
"How can this artillery be so powerful!?"
At this time, Leech, Bai Can and others were also disturbed by Jingjing. They quickly walked out of the cabin and were all surprised when they saw the giant cannon on the ship.
Bai Can's eyes widened and his face was filled with shock.
"It is indeed very powerful."
Lin Sheng also spoke softly, and he was also moved in his heart. The power of these artillery pieces was indeed beyond imagination. Each cannon was probably no less than a full blow from the early Divine Form warrior.
There are as many as eighteen huge artillery pieces loaded on this warship.
After a bombardment, the high-level sea beasts would evaporate in an instant.
Even the weaker Demon Beast would not be able to escape serious injury after being hit by artillery.
"With such a powerful warship, this operation will be much easier."
Leech also sighed with emotion.
Hong Ye also stepped out of the cabin at this time.
The serious look on his face had long since dissipated, leaving him with a relaxed smile.
"Following those sea beasts is a difficult sea beast called the stickleback. It is rare to see it here. It only appears in groups in Misty Sea Region."
"These sticklebacks are hooked together and will secrete a large amount of Corrosive Slime, which will corrode the ship. Even if Black Gold Ironwood has good corrosion resistance, damage will inevitably occur over time."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng and others nodded.
The name Stickleback is quite vivid.
However, Hong Ye, an experienced lieutenant on the water, can deal with it carefully. This stickleback is obviously quite difficult to deal with.
The leech on the side had a look of surprise on his face.
"I didn't expect that there were so many of these things in Misty Sea Region. Fortunately, I didn't encounter them the last time I came in. Otherwise, I might not have been able to escape unscathed based on the merchant ship I rented before."
Hearing what Leech said, Hong Ye nodded in agreement.
"It is indeed difficult for ordinary ships to deal with such a large scale of stickleback fish. If we say so many stickleback fish, it is basically only possible to encounter them at the depth of Misty Sea Region."
"We have just stepped into the central range here. It is really rare to encounter so many sticklebacks. It seems we are not lucky."
A trace of doubt flashed across his face as he spoke, but it was quickly swept away.
"This time, the three warships have prepared sufficient artillery shells. Even if there are several times more sticklebacks, as long as they are defeated in time, they will not be a threat."
At this time, a sharp and sizzling noise suddenly came from under the sea, interrupting everyone's conversation.
"What's going on? What is this sound?"
Bai Can asked in confusion. Now he kept scanning the sea, but found nothing unusual.
Several other people also carefully checked the sea surface, but also found nothing.
"Under the boat!"
Only Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Bottom?"
Hong Ye was stunned for a moment, but soon realized something and his expression changed.
"Is there a stickleback attached to the bottom of the boat!?"
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately wanted to take off his armor and go into the sea to take a look.
"Vice General Hong, it's better for me to go."
Lin Sheng spoke slowly, and after the words fell, his figure had already jumped into the sea water dexterously.
As soon as we entered the water, near the bottom of the boat, the originally dark blue water had turned into pitch black and had a slightly more sticky feel.
Even huge bubbles kept popping up in the surrounding seawater, as if boiling.
"Nice rotten poison."
Looking at the black water surrounding his body, Lin Sheng commented.
At this moment, he had reached the bottom of the boat, and saw only one stickleback fish, like cockleburs stuck to clothes, firmly attached to the bottom of the boat, densely packed together, and there seemed to be hundreds of them, which made people feel chilly in their hearts.
"There are so many of them, I didn't even notice them. These sticklebacks are really difficult to deal with."
Lin Sheng was quite surprised.
He grabbed two stickleback fish with both hands and pulled them off directly.
However, the spikes all over its body were still attached to the bottom of the ship and embedded in it.
Obviously the toughness of this spike is still higher than Black Gold Ironwood.
Lin Sheng frowned, and the next moment his eyes revealed a gilded color.
In an instant, these sticklebacks adsorbed on the bottom of the boat, as if they were frightened, quickly broke away from the bottom of the boat one by one, fled into the seabed, and soon disappeared.
