I'm the one running the game

The Penglai Fleet claimed to be exploring marine resources and the emperor was conducting scientific research on the marine ecology.

The matter of the orcs was naturally still in the confidential stage. If it was leaked, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

Now standing in this position, Lu Xingshi also understood one thing. For a dynasty, stability is more important than justice.

He needed Yan State as a source of power value to supply him with gold coins, so he had to ensure that there would be no problems with the power value. Even if it did not increase, it could not fall.

"Your Majesty, your tea." Wang Ling handed over a cup of fragrant tea.

Lu Xingshi nodded slightly and took it.

"After leaving the land, I always felt that there was a slight peeping watching us." Lu Xingshi took a sip and said.

This scared Wang Ling a lot. If someone peeped at the emperor's carriage, it must be a conspiracy. He wanted to recruit people to investigate as soon as possible.

But Lu Xingshi pressed it down.

"Don't worry, there is no malice, it's not to assassinate the king."

"Besides, what are you afraid of with me here." Lu Xingshi was a little speechless.

It was because the other party was just observing and had no ill intentions that Lu Xingshi did not take action.

Otherwise, if there was any malicious intention, Lu Xingshi would directly use the Jade Emperor's phantom to let the other party know what a behemoth is.

"The ocean is the other party's territory, and we are outsiders. Before we completely break up, we must be harmonious." Lu Xingshi drank the tea in his hand and said.

"I understand." Wang Ling took the tea, and he reacted. With Lu Xingshi here, he had nothing to fear.

"Then do I need to test the other party?"

Although Wang Ling was relieved, he always felt uneasy about someone spying on them.

"No, even I can't find where he is, where can you find him?" Lu Xingshi chuckled.

The idea is good, but it's hard to implement.

He can be sure that the one spying on him is probably the so-called beast god.

Chitian is impossible. He had faced Chitian before. The other party was more like a rigid operating program. It would take hundreds of thousands of years to develop a highly intelligent logical thinking like Heitian.

The beast god may be the real executor.

Before, he thought it was just a mascot. Now it seems that the other party has enough self-esteem, and even logic is not ordinary.

Lv Xingshi is definitely not afraid of a head-on confrontation. He can kill Heitian. Lv Xingshi also has a chance to win against Chitian, who was born not long ago.

As for the beast god, he can sense the observation. Not to mention killing the opponent instantly, there is a 90% probability that he can kill the opponent.

The opponent saw the threat from Lv Xingshi, so he didn't dare to show up.

The projection of the ancestor who couldn't even sense it at the beginning couldn't withstand his punch.

"Yes, sir." Wang Ling was unwilling, and finally retreated.

He knew that without Lv Xingshi's support, this matter could not be done at all. Even if it was done, it would probably be counterproductive.

After Wang Ling left, the voyage continued. The fuel of the Penglai Fleet was Qi, provided by Lu Xingshi. There was no need to worry about food. There were a large number of supply ships following them. With Lu Xingshi, there was no shortage of food.

Lu Xingshi looked at the sea and suddenly caught a glimpse of a strange creature similar to a human figure in the sea.

"Manatee, how can this thing exist?" Lu Xingshi saw clearly that it was a strange manatee. Of course, he didn't know what species it was after having blood.

He had only been sailing for a few days. First of all, there were no manatees in the territory of Yan State. If he hadn't come from the modern times, he really wouldn't have recognized this ugly thing that looked like a mermaid from a distance.

"This means there are islands around."

Manatees are creatures that live along the coast of the strait. Even if they are a different species, they are not different enough to allow manatees to live in the ocean for a long time.

"Wang Ling, did you take the wrong road?" Lu Xingshi shouted.

According to previous experience, there were no islands or land in this area, but now a manatee appeared. No matter how different it is, it is still a manatee, not a barbarian bull.

"Ah?" Wang Ling heard the noise and rushed over immediately.

"Don't say anything, take a look." Lu Xingshi complained.

Yan State, which was extremely backward in navigation, also had its drawbacks.

Wang Ling looked at the ocean around him in confusion, with no reference points at all, and finally reacted: "Your Majesty, we need to wait until night and use the stars to locate."

"I will immediately send someone to solve your doubts." Wang Ling is the admiral of the navy, a management and administrative staff. He can be professionally matched to river defense affairs, but he can't do anything about things at sea.

It was already amazing that he could come back last time, even if he went to the wrong port. Fortunately, Yan State has a large territory, otherwise he really doesn't know where he would have lost his way.

However, it is not that there are no professional personnel, star officials, sailors, etc. can serve concurrently.

"Go ahead, invite someone to make a judgment." Lu Xingshi was a little tired. As for tools like sextants and quadrants, Lu Xingshi had only heard of their names, and had no idea what they looked like, or even what they were used for in the ocean. If he wanted to replicate them, he would have to have the corresponding knowledge.

Even if he could deduce, at least he knew what this thing was used for.

Lu Xingshi could read the stars, but he didn't know what happened last time, so it was useless to read it.

On the other hand, he was paying attention to the surrounding situation. He always felt that the manatee species just now was a little strange.

It went into the sea in the blink of an eye, and no one knew where it ran to.

A star official came over quickly, and after distinguishing the position of the sun, he showed astonishment in his expression.

"Your Majesty, we have indeed deviated from the route, which should not be the case." The star official was also trembling, and his original astonishment turned into fear.

"Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on." Lu Xingshi's expression also became solemn.

The star official hurriedly took out his diary and began to compare, and explained in a nagging manner. Lu Xingshi did not interrupt.

The overall meaning is that they did not go wrong, but they were wrong.

"The time is wrong." Lu Xingshi said: "You only considered the stars, but ignored the problem of ocean currents."

Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Xingshi could only explain patiently.

He also ignored this point, after all, Lu Xingshi was not a professional navigator.

"Your Majesty means that if we set out at the same time every year, we can return by the same route?" Wang Ling's eyes widened.

"Almost, but it doesn't matter, anyway, we have gone off the track." Lu Xingshi said helplessly: "This time we are here..."

When Lu Xingshi said this, he suddenly stopped talking, his eyes stern: "Wait here for a while."

While speaking, Lu Xingshi disappeared in an instant, and in an instant he came to the bottom of the ship's hold.

"You actually found me?"

The manatee alien he had seen before had just sneaked into the warship he was in.

Then Lu Xingshi noticed it at the first time.

This is not the point, the point is that this manatee alien actually spoke, and he could understand it.

First of all, his translation module does not recognize animal language, which means that the other party is not a beast alien, but a human alien, that is, an orc.

But from the appearance, the other party is more inclined to a manatee.

Lu Xingshi doesn't really want to guess how this manatee orc came from, but it is certain that one of its parents must be a manatee, and the other must be a human.

It's a bit dry to think about it.

"Who sent you?" Lu Xingshi immediately captured the manatee orc and asked.

"Outsider, you were the first to enter the beast god's territory." The manatee orc refuted Lu Xingshi in the unique language of the orcs.

The other party was right. In terms of order, they were indeed the first, and Lu Xingshi and his team were latecomers.

And Lu Xingshi also discovered that the intelligence and civilization of this manatee orc far exceeded the batch brought back by Wang Ling that year.

This made Lu Xingshi's heart sink. The speed of evolution and development was indeed beyond imagination.

"I am very interested in the beast god you believe in. I wonder if you are willing to promote the greatness of the beast god?" Lu Xingshi asked.

The words of the manatee orc made Lu Xingshi sure that the existence that was watching him just now was this beast god.

"You come with malice, I refuse." The manatee orc had a firm look, and he had his own beliefs.

Lu Xingshi asked calmly: "Your tribe should be around here."

Threats are very effective.

"They are also believers of the beast god." The manatee orc's eyes showed obvious panic.

"I need you to lead me." Lu Xingshi changed the subject: "It doesn't have to be your own tribe, it can also be your enemy."

"Use your life in exchange for me to stay away from your tribe and get rid of an enemy. You get what you want, and I get what I want." Lu Xingshi said.

The manatee orc hesitated at this moment.

Lu Xingshi also understood that there were not only the manatee orcs nearby, but also other orc tribes.

"If you miss this opportunity, it will be your own loss, and if you don't lead me away, if we happen to arrive at your tribe, then..." Lu Xingshi threatened with a sneer.

"I am willing to lead the way." The manatee orc understood that the word "coincidentally" in Lu Xingshi's mouth must not be a good word.

"That's great, I hope you won't let me down, I have enough time." Lu Xingshi naturally didn't believe what the other party said, but he didn't care, he just needed to find an orc tribe.

Although the orcs are scattered on the islands, they don't seem to have lost contact, but are still attacking each other.

But it is normal. After all, war can quickly advance the progress of civilization, even if the price is extremely bloody death. At present, the orcs do not have enough autonomy to refuse war.

Judging from the population of the orcs, the war is not expected to be large. The fight at the entrance of the village can be regarded as a large-scale tribal war. Lu Xingshi does not have to worry about encountering a battle with more than a thousand people.
