Chapter 269 The truth is getting more confusing

In the next few days, everything seemed to be going well.

There were no monsters or ghosts coming to harass them. It was so peaceful that Mu Yi wondered if they had been hallucinating.

After a few days of rest, all the problems with the ship were solved, and the remnants of the evil god's followers on the island were also wiped out.

"Set sail! Set sail!" Zheng He gave the order.

"Beep~" a huge horn sounded, and then the treasure ship where Zheng He was located began to move south as the flagship, and the huge fleet began its cruise again.

"Raise the clouds and speed up!"

After Zheng He gave the order, several soldiers carried large trumpets and blew them vigorously, producing three simple and long notes.

The entire fleet quickly moved together after setting off. A thick layer of cloud rose into the sky, and the entire fleet formed a big "V" shape. The speed suddenly increased a lot.

Mu Yi saw clearly that under the transformation of the secret technique, the ocean was turning into something like a wave to carry the fleet forward. There was no need to consider the wind direction and ocean currents. With this secret technique, the fleet could sail to any corner of the ocean.

What's even more wonderful is that the consumption of this secret technique is very low. It consumes more of the essence of heaven and earth plundered from the air through the circulation system. This ensures the integrity of its own combat effectiveness to the greatest extent possible, and there will not be the embarrassing situation of losing combat effectiveness directly due to hurrying.

"A fighting method that relies entirely on cloud energy?"

Mu Yi had a good foundation. He followed Zheng He for several days and learned a lot of naval combat skills from him.

Basically, the navy's tactics are all based on clouds. Whether it is high attack defense or other things, they are all completed by relying on the clouds stored in the ships. The self-circulating system is also based on these clouds.

It can be said that the amount of cloud gas stored in the warships is what limits the navy's combat effectiveness. After all, there is almost no room for hand-to-hand combat in naval battles, and they are extremely dependent on cloud gas to do anything.

The ocean is not peaceful. Countless sea beasts live in the ocean. They are a very powerful force. In the past, the Four Dragon Kings kept them in check, so there was basically no major trouble.

However, the disappearance of the four sea dragon kings and the advent of the evil god seemed to aggravate the chaos in the ocean, so that the fleet often encountered various sea beasts during the voyage.

Giant whales bigger than ships, schools of sharks, sea turtles as big as islands...

Some of these sea beasts wisely avoided the fleet, while others brainlessly charged towards the fleet.

Of course, these unorganized sea beasts could not meet the standards of the fleet and were directly hunted and eaten as seafood.

Some smart sea beasts chased directly behind the fleet and digested the various sea beast wreckages thrown away by the fleet.

Mu Yi enthusiastically got a fishing rod and squatted on the ship to fish, which was both a way to strengthen his will and pass the time.

The ocean is so vast that even with the use of secret techniques, it would still take a long time to sail.

At first Mu Yi was quite excited, but facing the almost unchanging ocean, Mu Yi's original interest was dampened and he had to find something to do.

And fishing obviously goes well with the ocean.

"Lord God, are you...fishing?"

The burly general walked past Mu Yi with some confusion, and then he saw Mu Yi hang a huge hook with a hemp rope, then turn it a few times and throw it down. He was stunned. Is this called fishing?

"Of course I'm fishing!" As he spoke, Mu Yi pulled up the rope, and there was a huge sea fish struggling on the hook.

As he spoke, he suddenly fell forward, "Look, he's taken the bait!"

Looking at the bamboo pole with silk thread hanging on it and the bait made of fish meat in his hand, the burly general fell into deep thought.

He felt his face twitching. What a stupid fish, swallowing such a big hook into its stomach.

This seems a little different from the fishing I know. Maybe my approach is wrong.

"Fishing is also a process of tempering one's will!"

Mu Yi glanced at the burly general. After getting along with him for the past few days, he found that he was a good person. He might as well make friends with him and give him some advice.

"Watch this!" Mu Yi deliberately released his willpower this time, allowing the other party to observe his movements.

The burly general then saw clearly that Mu Yi was not fishing, but was using the situation of fishing to strengthen his will, so he didn't need bait at all, willpower was the key.

As Mu Yi pulled the hook again, the sea fish that was caught on the hook by his will jumped unwillingly on the deck.

Air Force? Impossible!
"Thank you for your advice!" The burly general was convinced and immediately started to imitate him. However, it was obvious that this was his first time to come into contact with this method. Without the adventure like Mu Yi who was guided by a master, it was difficult for him to grasp the essence of it at once.

Unlike Mu Yi who would never miss a hook, the burly general would miss nine out of ten times, and the fish he caught would often escape directly from the hook.

But as Mu Yi said, fishing is just a form, what they are really doing is strengthening their will.

The scattered spiritual will spread in the ocean. After a while, the burly general finally caught the first fish. However, unlike Mu Yi who could choose his target freely, the burly general's will control was not that precise.

It was more like he was using his will as bait to lure the fish, rather than using his will to weave a big net to catch fish like Mu Yi did.

This directly led to a problem, that is, Mu Yi knew very well what kind of fish he caught, but the burly general had no idea what it was that took the hook.

"Hey, that's quite a lot of strength!"

The burly general was staring at the edge of the boat with one foot, the muscles in his arms bulging. As an elite cultivator, he was not afraid of anyone in a competition of strength. Even if Zheng He simply competed with him in strength, he was no match for him.

The hemp rope as thick as a fist was pulled straight, but it was obvious that the burly general forgot one thing. He remembered to use his internal energy to protect the rope, but he was unable to protect the edge of the boat.

"Crack..."

The burly general, who originally had a slight advantage in strength, was dragged down after the ground he stepped on was shattered.

"Hmm..." Mu Yi was about to go down to save people, but he found that the burly general was riding on a shark and struggling in the ocean.

After all, he is a half-step legend, so he won't be killed if he is dragged into the water.

"Die!"

The burly general roared, and suddenly a ball of black and gold light burst out, wrapping himself and the shark.

The shark seemed to sense the crisis and dived directly into the depths of the ocean, looking like a meteorite falling into the ocean.

The sea surface returned to a brief calm, but Mu Yi's perception told him that the battle between the two sides was still going on.

"Oh!"

The burly general jumped out from under the sea, holding the shark tightly in his hands. The irregular bend of the shark's head could tell the outcome of the struggle. "Enemy attack! Be alert!"

However, there was no joy on the burly general's face, and he roared almost in an inappropriate manner.

Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly threw the hook in his hand. The burly general caught the hook and was then pulled onto the ship by Mu Yi.

He casually threw the shark onto the deck, with the burly general looking terrified.

"what happened!"

Startled by the burly general's shout of enemy attack, everyone rushed out of the cabin and began to take their positions to guard the seemingly calm sea.

"Enemy, all enemies!"

The burly general had an unsightly look on his face, and was shouting almost incoherently. It seemed that he was not only surprised, but also had his rationality evaporated.

"Calm down!"

The Taoist priest shouted softly and threw a talisman directly on the head of the burly general, finally bringing him back to his senses.

"The deep sea is full of the evil god's followers. The evil god's followers mentioned by the God - the black goat kids, there are more than a dozen of them on the seabed! They are right below our fleet..."

The burly general's face turned ugly again, and he said with some difficulty...

"And... and, I seemed to see the Four Sea Dragon Kings, they were mixed with that group of monsters..."

After hearing this, even the commander-in-chief Zheng He couldn't help but change color. In their estimation, the Four Dragon Kings would at least be fine and at most be trapped by something. However, they didn't expect that their entire army had been wiped out.

To be more extreme, the four sea dragon kings have been corrupted by the evil god and become his minions...

You know, each of the Four Dragon Kings is a legendary being, and the soldiers and generals under his command all have inherited the training methods of the four native dragon tribes of Kyushu. They are not inferior to the Ming army in the ocean.

However, even so, has the entire army been wiped out?

"This is a matter of great importance. Would the Lord be willing to go down and investigate?" Zheng He pondered for a moment and asked everyone to return to their positions and prepare for battle.

Fortunately, there were not many soldiers around just now, and the news could not spread and cause chaos. Judging from their current situation, the other party has not launched an attack yet, but is just following them, so they must still be insufficient in strength.

At least the other party was not sure of being able to destroy them, and even if he took a step back, he was indeed not afraid of the enemy with the fleet in his hands. However, being followed like this without being aware was not a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

The burly general's weak will meant that his testimony was doomed to be somewhat suspicious, so after thinking for a moment, Zheng He turned his gaze to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi has demonstrated the means of the God of Water and can exert power in the ocean that no one else possesses.

"Network Tips: Triggering the campaign faction mission - Undersea Exploration."

【Undersea Exploration】

Mission content: Explore the specific situation in the ocean.

Mission rewards: Ming camp reputation, Zheng He's favorability, Ming military merit.

"give it to me!"

Mu Yi did not refuse. A mountain and water seal appeared in his hand, and the power of many water veins flowed out from it, then wrapped Mu Yi and sank into the ocean.

Among the Nine Provinces, the Four Seas are not as good as the Four Rivers. They have vast ocean areas but do not have the water vein power comparable to the Four Rivers. It is precisely because of this that the dragon clan can firmly grasp the four seas and almost bring every four seas of the Nine Provinces world under the control of the dragon clan.

When sailing before, Mu Yi was fishing while using the Mountain and Water Seal to absorb the water vein power in the ocean. Now, the Mountain and Water Seal stores a large amount of water vein power refined by Mu Yi, allowing Mu Yi to fully exert the power of the seventh-grade water god.

However, when Mu Yi just went deep into the sea, he immediately felt something was wrong in the ocean.

This was something that was completely imperceptible on the sea surface, and he couldn't even feel it in the shallower areas ahead.

Chaos, disorder, madness!
There was almost no need to go deeper. Mu Yi could tell by just this feeling that most of what the burly general said was true.

"Trouble!"

The water veins acted as Mu Yi's eyes, and he saw many evil gods' followers and minions lurking in the deep sea.

"Network Tip: You are under a will attack and are undergoing a will test..."

Without any surprise, the moment he saw the opponent, Mu Yi began to suffer the impact, but Mu Yi was not a burly general, he had a stronger will.

“That’s quite a lot!”

Mu Yi's face was gloomy. The number of evil god's followers in the deep sea was at least ten times more than what they had encountered on the island before.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yi tentatively controlled the water flow mixed with the power of water veins and threw it towards the evil god's followers in the deep sea.

He did not see the Four Dragon Kings that the burly general mentioned. Either the burly general was talking nonsense after his sanity evaporated, or the noise was not big enough and the other party was still lurking deeper.

Streams of water mixed with the power of water veins smashed down at the monsters in the deep sea like heavy hammers.

The weak deep-diver fishmen and other strange-looking creatures were directly smashed into pieces by the water current and swept towards deeper places.

However, the next second, the turbulent water flow came to an abrupt halt, and a divine dragon appeared in the deep sea, and Mu Yi's tricks were easily resolved.

"This is really the worst situation!" Mu Yi's mouth twitched as he looked at the dragon covered with tentacles and the aura emanating from it.

It can basically be concluded that the other party is the so-called Dragon King of the Four Seas. He has been deformed into such a horrible appearance. It cannot be said that he is hopeless. It can only be said that he should die early and be reborn soon.

Just as Mu Yi was thinking this, several water whirlpools formed around Mu Yi. The strong water flow seemed to tear Mu Yi to pieces. The water flow was not fatal, but the chaos mixed in the water flow was fatal.

The water vein power around Mu Yi was being consumed at a terrifying rate under the erosion of this chaos.

"Instead of being weakened, it has become stronger?"

Mu Yi had a headache. What was the origin of this evil god? Although the Four Seas Dragon Clan sounded like a background board in Jiuzhou, not everyone was qualified to appear in the background board of every great god.

Even if the four dragon kings of this world were descendants of dragons from some branch lines, they wouldn't be reduced to this state, with almost no one to escape or ask for help, right?
What exactly happened in the ocean? It can't really be the worst case scenario, right?
