Chapter 601 The Lost Returner

Seventeen ocean-going ships with a displacement of more than 7000 tons can determine the outcome of a large-scale war at sea.

But at this moment, everyone in this fleet was in an extremely nervous mood.

They need to rely on the communication means that have not been disconnected yet to determine the results of the previous round of tests.

"03 calling 07, 03 calling 07, can you get in touch with the demon slayer? Can you get in touch with the demon slayer?"

"Report 03, the demon slayer has lost contact. The demon slayer has lost contact."

"If anyone is missing, please report."

"All seven Jindan-level demon slayers have lost contact. All have lost contact!"

Like a bolt from the blue, it hit the captain of Ship No. 3 hard, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

The fluctuation of spiritual energy can affect the communication links of technological means, but humans have been studying ways to combine spiritual power and technology since the revival of spiritual energy, and naturally have invented means to ensure stable communication in the event of fluctuations in spiritual energy.

Ship No. 7 gave up a large amount of firepower and was used specifically to carry a new type of signal dissipation device, serving as a signal station. When they could not contact others, it proved that those people were really lost.

Seven Jindans... this is almost the strongest official force in the southern coastal area. The monster that even they can't deal with, is it at the Yuanying level?
Despair rose in the eyes of the captain of Ship No. 3.

In the entire Xia Kingdom, every known Nascent Soul-level monster corresponds to an extremely brutal battle.

The Tianshan Blue Bird destroyed ten cities and swallowed up tens of thousands of people. When it dodged the first nuclear bomb, the Xia Kingdom lost its greatest means of deterrence.

When deterrence fails, war becomes an inevitable means.

In that battle, the Xia Kingdom lost nearly half of its air force, and an unknown number of cultivators were killed, but at least the ferocious bird was killed in the end.

After the bluebird, there is the Qinling red monkey.

The entire mountain is its hunting ground. It seems to have no interest in humans. But just when everyone thought it was a monster that favored the order camp.

It hit the capital.

It is said that it was to take something there. No one knows what it was because the monkey died there. The price was... It is said that the first genius in the entire Xia country to reach the Nascent Soul stage died with it.

The fake dragon in the South China Sea destroyed the entire aircraft carrier fleet. It was said that the entire force of a secret agency of the Xia country was also mobilized. In the end, a hero held a long knife in his mouth, dived into the sea ten thousand meters deep and killed the fake dragon.

I also closed my eyes and looked into the deep sea.

"Can we hold out?"

The captain of Ship No. 3 stood up and adjusted his hat. In response to the desperate whispers coming from the communication channel, he only responded with determination.

"You have to bear it even if you can't bear it."

The special forces team, known as demon slayers, who had practiced techniques specifically to target the weaknesses of demon beasts, had all perished in the deep sea. The captain knew that he would most likely not be able to hold on.

But he had to hold on.

He and his fleet are not here to gain military merit. The meaning of their existence is to step up when everyone else can't, just like the aircraft carrier fleet before.

挐——

After a long howl, a huge wave rose on the sea, and eight hideous and terrifying tentacles stretched out from the sea, destroying eight cruisers in an instant.

Communications between the ships were also completely cut off at this moment.

"Fire!"

This kind of order does not need to be issued by the captain at all. In the fight with monsters, human communication cannot be faster than the monsters' spiritual awareness, so everyone needs to have their own correct judgment of the battle situation.

The nine surviving cruisers opened fire in unison; naval guns, heavy missiles, torpedoes... a series of attack methods transformed by spiritual energy technology were all fired at the giant beast in the sea.

For monsters above the Jindan stage with divine consciousness, long-range attacks are generally difficult to be effective, because they are so sharp that they seem to be able to predict the future. Only by relying on saturation attacks can they be successfully hit... like now. The huge body of the sea beast is its advantage, but also its weakness. It is difficult for it to completely avoid the firepower of the cruiser.

The choice it made was... not to avoid.

Endless sea water all gathered here, forming a huge waterspout. The water flow changed the trajectory of the missiles and torpedoes, and the energy from the explosion of these things seemed to be all absorbed by the waterspout.

The fleet began to be sucked towards the center of the waterspout uncontrollably.

No matter how powerful a battleship is, it is still a "ship". As long as it is a ship, it relies on sea water. How can they have any chance of winning against the monsters that control the sea water?
It is foreseeable that as long as they are caught in the waterspout, they will be torn apart instantly.

At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky.

No one noticed that when the muffled thunder sounded, a purple spear of lightning hit the back of the octopus's head.

People only saw the giant octopus explode and was broken into pieces by the water tornado it summoned.

A huge tentacle landed on the deck of Ship No. 3, almost causing the entire ship to lose balance. The captain walked out of the command room to check, but saw several young men walking on a golden avenue and landing in front of him.

The people behind were talking and laughing, pointing at the octopus's broken tentacles and commenting on it.

The leader waved his hand, and eight cruisers suddenly floated up again on the sea. The souls of the deceased heroes also returned to the world at his call.

The calmness and relaxation of these people made the captain feel a little dazed. He vaguely remembered that a long time ago, many people living in Xia Country were like this.

This is the era they want to keep with all their might, but it is fading away.

"who are you?"

"The lost one who returns, the guardian of the future." The man said with a smile.

……

After reporting the battle situation to his superiors and ordering the ship to return, the captain began to entertain the group of mysterious young people in the restaurant.

"You mean, only a year and a half has passed since we left?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.

Looking at the situation outside, he thought a century had passed.

The captain nodded. "If the date you provided is correct, it is like this."

"When will the spiritual energy revival be fully publicized?"

"I think it was about a year and a half ago."

As soon as he left, he completely recovered?

Chu Junhui didn't believe that there were such coincidences in the world. In the past, when he encountered such things, he would directly ask No. 10, and this time was no exception.

"Can I borrow your cell phone?"

"The fleet doesn't have that thing. The wild is now infested with monsters. Information base stations are difficult to build, and communications are basically kept within a city. It's difficult to communicate across the country. If you want to contact your family, I'll apply for you after we return to see if the military channel can be transferred."

"Hmm..." Chu Junhui thought for a moment, his eyes pausing on the captain's shoulder.

This kind of military rank should be able to reach No. 10, right?

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. If you can contact No. 10, you can just go through the military channel."

"Number 10?" The captain frowned.

"This... I'm afraid we can't get in touch."

 There won't be a lot of monster fighting in these chapters. These chapters mainly build the background of the times, explain the things in the Xiuxian game, and then return to the martial arts game to meet the Immortal King Qianqiu, and finally end the book. It is expected to be completed in late June or early July.
