Chapter 344 Zhang Xiong
On the big sea boat.

A warrior was sitting and hanging on a mast, holding something like a cylinder in his hand, and kept looking in the direction dozens of nautical miles away.

On the endless sea, due to the distance, if the islands are not marked on the chart, it is easy to be ignored.

The warrior's eyesight was quite good, he glanced a few times, and shouted to a group of warriors standing below, "Captain, I saw it, there should be an unknown island ahead, if there is nothing wrong with Ding Haipan, princess It should be on the island ahead!"

On the side of the bow deck of the big ship, there stood a row of dozens of warriors in fine armor and holding hard bows.

There is also a heavy bed guard at the bow, and a burly warrior with a scarred face is standing beside the bed guard with his arms crossed, staring at the faintly visible black spot in the distance.

An old man stood on the left side of the burly man with a scarred face.

This scarred man is the captain of the big ship. He has more than a hundred well-equipped warriors under him, and he is the number one general under the green shirt woman.

The reason why Zhang Xiong came so quickly was that Zhang Xiong and others had been ordered to swim in the newly discovered Chaonan Islands waters before.

The second is to bring a fixed sea plate, which is used for positioning at sea, similar to the role of a modern global GPS positioning navigator.

Of course, the sea-fixing plate is only useful for marking the area on the chart, but the woman in the green shirt also has a small portable sea-fixing plate on her body.

The large Dinghai plate can locate it, and behind Zhang Xiong's ship is the ship of the Explorers' Association.

Dinghai plate is not an ordinary thing, even the Explorers Association cannot equip every ship with Dinghai plate.

Just like all kinds of modern aircraft, it is impossible to be equipped with missiles.

And the next few Explorers Association ships followed Zhang Xiong, which was a bit of an advantage. Otherwise, it would obviously be a lot of trouble to find the island where Wang Hu and others are located.

However, this is also the result of Zhang Xiong's acquiescence, otherwise, even the ships of the Explorers Association cannot follow other people's ships casually, which is a taboo.

Of course, Zhang Xiong also meant to borrow the power of the Explorers Association. In this newly discovered archipelago waters, where the imperial fleet has not yet been deployed, the pirate forces are extremely rampant.

No one wants to meet pirates at sea, even if they are armed merchant ships.

"Captain, we are lucky, we didn't encounter any pirates this time," said a warrior.

Zhang Xiong slapped the warrior on the head, "You mean we will meet again next time?"

Seeing the captain's complexion turn from sunny to cloudy, the former warrior hurriedly said, "I'll wash the deck this time!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiong laughed loudly and said, "Okay, the cabin belongs to you too, I am optimistic about you!"

At this moment, the martial artist wanted to slap himself in the mouth, which was the end of nonsense.

In fact, what the people on this ship hate the most is cleaning the deck, otherwise, Zhang Xiong would not think of ways to punish the crew for cleaning the deck.

The old man smiled and said, "You! The owner of the ship was worried about who to arrange for this, so you jumped out."

"Okay, all the staff return to their posts, and move forward at full speed, receive the princess as soon as possible, and go back as soon as possible."

"Yes!" A group of warriors said excitedly after hearing this.

They had been at sea for several months. Although there was no shortage of food and drink, they naturally didn't want to live such a boring life. After all, it was better than living on land.

As a group of warriors took their positions, the holes on both sides of the big ship opened, and oars were released. The warriors chanted chant and rowed the oars.

Immediately, the speed of the sea ship doubled, and the ships of the Explorers Association behind also quickly increased their speed.

However, according to this speed, it will take at least half a day for them to arrive. It is estimated that it will be late at night when they arrive.

The sun is gradually sinking to the west, and thick clouds and mists are entrenched in the sky. The setting sun can only take a little gap to shoot out streaks of crimson rays, like fish swimming in the deep sea, occasionally rolling with golden scales.

The surface of the sea was dyed golden, and the island could already be clearly seen from the mast.

However, Zhang Xiong didn't show any joy at this time, he frowned and asked, "Old Huang, are you sure?"

"The old man is very sure that the tide of sea beasts will definitely come tonight. I also ask the owner of the ship to inform the princess to make preparations. We should stop advancing immediately, otherwise the ship will be torn to pieces when we collide with the tide."

After confirmation, Zhang Xiong quickly contacted the woman in the green shirt. After receiving new instructions, he ordered the ship to stop and prepare to retreat at any time, and at the same time let someone blow the horn.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The desolate sound of the horn quickly spread throughout the nearby sea area, but the faces of the explorers who heard the sound of the horn changed greatly.

The sound of the horn was an early warning, indicating that the tide of sea beasts was coming, all ships would leave the port immediately, and a signal for non-combatants to evacuate.

The explorers, who had been fighting fiercely because of the competition for heaven, material and earth treasures, quickly stopped and began to gather.

The explorers are well aware of the seriousness of the sea beast outbreak. Once a large number of sea beasts land on the island, they will either die or flee to the island.

However, after all, it is an explorer, and none of the explorers who can survive until now are fools.

Under the organization of several highly prestigious explorers, a group of explorers put aside their interest competition for the time being and united together.

A group of explorers used a huge cave as a defensive camp. At this time, it was less than a few hours before the outbreak of the sea beast tide.

A group of explorers were divided into several groups, some went to cut wood, some made torches to provide lighting for the next battle, and some made them into horses and wooden poles.

Fortunately, all the explorers are warriors, otherwise, it would be difficult to set up defenses before the sea beast tide broke out.

As for the woman in green shirt and Wang Hu, they are also here, they don't have the confidence to resist alone.

However, no one knows the cause of the outbreak of the sea beast tide, and it is difficult to determine even the frequency of the outbreak.

Because the sea beast swarm may completely recede after one night, but it may also strike again the next night, and some islands have never been attacked by the sea beast swarm that erupted.

The only thing that is certain is that the tide of sea beasts only erupts in the dark, and retreats once the sun rises.

However, Li Heng suspected that someone might be manipulating the outbreak of the sea beast tide. Of course, the people here do not refer to the human race.

Of course, it is also very likely that the sea beasts plundered the resources on the island.

Compared with the busy explorers, Li Heng was only refining spiritual energy. The arrival of the sea beast tide obviously had little effect on Li Heng.

In fact, the same is true. The arrival of the tide of sea beasts has almost zero impact on Li Heng. With Li Heng's strength, even if his divine power is almost exhausted, as long as he wants to hide, how can he...
