While gathering intelligence recently, he noticed others who were similar to him.
By nature suspicious, Samuel decided to follow behind the Monk caravan to observe the situation, waiting for a foolproof opportunity before making his move.
There were eight other Six-Star Fiends who had the same idea as Clawber and Samuel.
Unlike the others, these eight Six-Star Fiends were together.
The eight of them had formed a small team.
Luo Bu was the initiator of this operation, and since his strength was the greatest, he temporarily served as the captain of this squad.
Luo Bu cultivated the Law of Fire, and just a short time ago, he had successfully fused four profound mysteries, making his strength fully comparable to a Seven-Star Fiend.
The eight of them had known each other since they were weak, and having experienced countless life-and-death situations along the way, they could trust each other absolutely.
When Luo Bu learned of the news spread by the Penya Family, he knew the greatest opportunity of his life had arrived, so he did not hesitate to notify his seven other friends to join him for this job.
Having joined forces again after countless years, they believed that even if there were experts hidden by Fanny's side, they would not be able to stop them.
After the deed was done, no matter how powerful Grayson was, he would be unable to do anything to them while they were far away.
Under the surging undercurrents, Lier City soon welcomed the next day.
Early that morning, Simon and the others all rose early.
"A thousand years have passed; finally, I'm embarking on a Fiend journey again. I'm so happy."
Fanny's crisp voice rang out across the empty street.
"Haha, that's right. My bones were almost rusting from sitting for a thousand years."
Lona was not the type of person who could sit still for long.
If she hadn't wanted to cling to the coattails of Simon and Fanny, she would have already taken Napote out to accept missions.
"It's only been a thousand years. Back in the day, I would go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years at a time."
Elno shook his head and said.
The group chatted as they walked toward the city gates.
At this moment, the number of people behind Simon and the others gradually increased.
At first, Simon didn't pay much attention; after all, there were many caravans that chose to depart in the morning, and it was normal for some to be heading in the same direction.
However, when Simon swept his divine sense over them, he discovered many existences among those behind him that he could not see through.
This indicated that many of these people were Highgods.
One had to know that even when performing missions, the number of Highgods was not large.
Even a merchant like Monk, who was a Highgod, only hired two Highgod Fiends at a time.
Therefore, with so many Highgods appearing all at once, there must be some hidden reason.
"Remember to stay close to me after we leave the city. Make sure not to stray more than a thousand meters from my side."
Simon sent a voice transmission to Fanny, Elno, and the others.
"Understood x4."
Although they were a bit puzzled, everyone was very obedient.
Just kidding, who would dare to ignore the words of a Seven-Star Fiend level expert?
Soon, Simon and the others arrived outside the city, where the middle-aged man, Monk, was already waiting.
"Haha, over here! We just need ten more people and we can set off."
Monk waved and shouted to Simon and the others.
The group arrived next to Monk and found that more than thirty people had already gathered there, including the two Highgod Fiends he had hired.
The Fiends waiting there saw Simon and the others approaching, especially Fanny, who was a Highgod, and they all nodded at each other in a friendly manner.
After waiting for a short while, the remaining ten Fiends arrived as well.
"Everyone is here, let's set off."
As he spoke, Monk released a tiger-shaped Metal Lifeform. After all the Fiends boarded, they began this journey across the Starry Fog Sea.
Chapter 72: Starry Fog Sea
Before boarding the Metal Lifeform, Simon's divine sense had been constantly vigilant of his surroundings.
He discovered that those who had been following him had stopped in the distance, merely observing them from time to time without choosing to make a move.
Simon didn't make a fuss and followed Monk onto the Metal Lifeform.
Monk was indeed a Highgod merchant; his Metal Lifeform was clearly much more advanced than Kenchi's, with a larger interior space and faster flight speed, only slightly inferior to Fanny's.
After all the Fiends had boarded the Metal Lifeform and taken their seats, Monk introduced them to everyone:
"The person on my right is Lord Lafi, a powerful Five-Star Fiend!"
Upon hearing that he was a Five-Star Fiend, everyone revealed expressions of envy and admiration.
However, those who felt envious did not include Simon and his group.
"To my left is Lord Hank, a Four-Star Fiend!"
Hank was dressed in a white robe, and his overall demeanor was quite distinguished.
"As for the other Fiend friends, I won't introduce them one by one. This journey is long, and everyone will have plenty of time to get to know each other."
Next, Monk spoke about several things that required attention during the journey.
For instance, when the Metal Lifeform is traveling through the Starry Fog Sea, those who cultivate the Law of Thunder must not release lightning at will, as it easily attracts lightning strikes from above, and if one is unlucky, it could even trigger a riot in the fog sea.
When the Metal Lifeform stops to rest, one should not fly too high alone. In the Starry Fog Sea, the higher one goes, the denser the fog becomes, and the lightning within it grows more violent, making it very dangerous to be caught inside.
Furthermore, do not panic when encountering bandits; everyone must cooperate with Lord Lafi and Lord Hank to defend, and remember not to flee without fighting, among other things.
After Monk emphasized these points, he said nothing more and then controlled the Metal Lifeform to form individual rooms according to everyone's wishes.
Simon and Fanny naturally requested one room.
Napote and Lona did the same.
The remaining two bachelors in the team, Elno and Hamut, each chose a room for themselves.
Originally, Hamut wanted to share with Elno, but Elno said that when he cultivates the Law of Death, strange phenomena often occur, and he was afraid of affecting others.
Hamut did not insist.
Returning to their respective rooms, Fanny lay in Simon's arms.
"Completing this mission will take at least several decades; it's so long, Simon."
"If you cultivate more on the road, a few decades will pass by very quickly, and besides, I'm here with you."
"Hee hee~~"
Although Lier City is close to the Starry Fog Sea, that is only in comparison to other inland cities.
Maintaining the current speed of over a million miles a day, the Metal Lifeform would need about three days to officially enter the Starry Fog Sea.
Just after Simon and his group set off, Kaufman, Clawber, Samuel, and their party also took off one after another to follow behind.
In any case, they knew that the destination of Simon's group was Green Mountain City, so there was no need to worry about losing them.
Just like that.
Several Metal Lifeforms, one after another, headed toward the Starry Fog Sea.
Three days later.
Monk's caravan officially sailed into the Starry Fog Sea.
The Metal Lifeform, which had transformed into the shape of a tiger, was over a hundred meters long, and the metal on both sides had now become transparent.
This made it convenient for everyone to enjoy the scenery outside.
Sitting in front of the transparent window, Simon gazed intently at the vast, boundless Starry Fog Sea ahead.
'Whoosh...'
The boundless, clear seawater, shimmering with a faint purple hue, rippled gently.
Cool mist rose continuously from the surface of the sea, appearing magnificent under the illumination of the Blood Sun.
The endless pale purple seawater was permeated with thin, silk-like mist.
Traveling through it, the Metal Lifeform felt as if it were in a fairyland.
"Truly breathtaking."
Simon was completely immersed in the beautiful scenery before him at this moment.
"I was also deeply shocked when I saw it for the first time. The Starry Fog Sea truly lives up to its name," Fanny sighed.
To be able to come here once in my lifetime can be considered the fulfillment of a wish, Simon thought to himself.
In his past life, when Simon saw the protagonists arrive at the Starry Fog Sea, he had fantasized about how great it would be if he could come here one day.
Now, he had finally achieved his wish.
The scenery of the Starry Fog Sea did not disappoint him.
Quietly holding Fanny and admiring the view for a long while, Simon finally returned to his cultivation.
There were still decades ahead to enjoy the view slowly.
Simon was not in a hurry; cultivation was the most important thing.
Seeing that Simon had immersed himself in cultivation again, Fanny had no choice but to go to the main hall to find Lona and chat to pass the time.
"Nana, why do you think they are so fond of cultivation? I feel that constantly cultivating is so boring."
"If Simon weren't so diligent, he couldn't possibly possess such strong power as he does now. Perhaps, to him, cultivation is also a form of pleasure."
