The Ning family's entire body Shenzhou gradually approached the twenty-three Shenzhou in front of him, Zhan Chen began to look around, and the surrounding waters seemed to become wider, and the distance from the opposite shore on one side to the other side was at least two hundred miles.

And all the ships docked in a bay, and when they sailed into that bay, they found that the wind and waves were calm, the water was clear and sparkling, and there were no monsters making waves.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but be curious about this, so he asked Ning Weitian beside him: "Master, this inlet is so strange, how is it different from the places we just passed, and we haven't even seen a demon beast?"

Ning Weitian replied: "Zhan Chen, this inlet is called Taiping Bay, and it also belongs to a strange place in the Yuan River, not only the water quality is different from the rest of the Yuan River, but there is not a single demon beast living in it.

The ancestors in the deep pond found that this place was different and thought that this was a land of auspiciousness, so all previous ceremonies would be held here, and this time was no exception. ”

Zhan Chen was surprised: "I don't know what the secret here is?"

Ning Weitian sighed: "Zhan Chen, with your and my cultivation, it is not enough to explore the secrets here, now all we have to do is to follow the large army and jump out of this abyss first." ”

Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The Ningjia Tongtian Shenzhou arrived at its destination and finally joined up with the other Tongtian Shenzhou.

Zhan Chen observed that there were three Tongtian Shenzhou in the front of the forefront, which were particularly special, their volume was very large, equivalent to twice the size of other Tongtian Shenzhou, and after a closer look, he finally recognized that there was a fluttering black flag on the top of the main mast of one of them, which was the banner of the Black Feather Army, so he pointed to the big ship in front and asked: "Master, isn't that the big flag of the Black Feather Army in front?"

Ning Weitian nodded and replied: "Yes, that is our city lord Sun Ming's ship, the city lord's mansion is strong, the ship they built is more than twice as large as ours, my ship weighs only about 30 million catties, and their ship can reach 80 million catties!"

"I don't understand, is it better to have a bigger ship?"

"Of course, the bigger the ship, the more guards it carries, like the Black Feather Army's ship, there are at least a thousand guards on board, and the stronger the ship's defense, the monster beast cannot be shaken, and it can sail more smoothly in strong winds and waves. ”

"I don't understand, 30 million jin is already far beyond the power of the ninth-order demon beast, is it necessary to build a giant ship of 80 million jin?"

"You're right, the strength of the ninth-order demon beast is between three million and ten million catties, so our Shenzhou is also enough to deal with all situations. It's just that the ship has more guards, and the power is sufficient, which will be of great benefit to the later voyages. ”

Zhan Chen nodded as if he didn't understand. At this time, he noticed that the ships of their Ning family were not the smallest, and some ships were smaller than them, and some of the family's boats were probably only about 20 million catties, and the guards were only 300 hundred; of course, there were also 40 million catties, or even 50 million catties of big ships, second only to those city lords' cars.

Just looking at the ships staying in Taiping Bay, you can have a general understanding of the strength of each family in each city. Because those Heavenly Divine Boats are the embodiment of their family's power, they are wealthy, and the ships are naturally large.

After some comparison, Zhan Chen found that the Ning family could only rank in the middle among all the families.

Next, one after another, there were Tongtian Shenzhou coming from afar, merging into the large army, close to noon, there was no Shenzhou merging in, and the total number of Tongtian Shenzhou in Taiping Bay also reached as many as thirty-six, the giant ship belonging to the five major city lords was located at the forefront of the pair, and the Tongtian Shenzhou of other forces followed, the ships were very close to each other, and even the situation on the other deck could be clearly observed.

Suddenly, from the very end of the building ship, there came a melodious and long horn sound, resounding throughout the water.

Ning Weitian, who was standing at the front of the bow, muttered, "Has it finally begun?" Then, turning his head to Zhan Chen beside him, he ordered: "Zhan Chen, you quickly gather everyone to the bow of the ship." ”

"Yes!" Zhan Chen entered the cabin and announced the master's order. After only a few moments, the five hundred men of the ship gathered at the front of the deck, looking at the ships at the front.

At this time, all the city lords of the five major cities gathered at the bow of the building ship of Sun Ming, the city lord of the city that never sleeps, and a nine-story altar had already been erected there.

As a representative, Sun Ming stepped on the top of the altar, lit red incense and inserted it into the incense burner, and then took out a long jade slip and began to recite the scriptures of praying to the heavens.

In the face of the unknown waters ahead, in the face of life and death, everyone's fears cannot be relieved, and they can only pin their hopes on this form of superstition.

The scripture was very long, and Sun Min read it for half an hour before finishing it. After that, he stepped down from the altar and stood in a row with the other lords of the four cities, looking up at the sky, with a reverent face, and chanting in unison: "Prostrate—"

Then they knelt down and bowed to heaven nine times. At this time, all the people standing on the Heavenly Divine Boat did the same as them, and bowed to the sky.

The whole ceremony is over here. After that, the other four city lords left one after another and returned to their Heavenly Divine Boat to prepare for the departure of the ship.

And Ning Weitian also shouted to everyone on the ship: "We are also ready to go, and at the meeting, everyone will work harder and try to keep up with the fleet as closely as possible, so that the attacks of the demon beasts we encounter will be reduced!"

Everyone was stunned and nodded in agreement. After a while, everything was ready, the ships of Sun Ming and other city lords were the flagships of the fleet, and the ships of the major families followed.

At this time, a long horn sounded on several flagships at the same time, which was to raise the fire for everyone to set sail again.

Sure enough, several flagships were launched at the same time, heading towards the wider river outside Taiping Bay.

And the Ning family's boat also sailed out of Taiping Bay with the other ships, and at the bow, Ning Weitian said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, I'm afraid we will enter the core area of the Yuanhe River 'Yuanhai' in a short time, so we tell everyone to be more careful and listen to my orders." ”

Zhan Chen was puzzled: "The Yuan River is obviously a river, why is it called 'sea' again?"

"The so-called 'sea' refers to the most central area of the Yuan River, I heard that there, the surface of the river reaches a radius of five hundred miles, and no one can know how deep it is, no different from the sea, so it is called the 'Yuan Sea', and there, the demon beasts that live are all above the eighth order, and even the ninth order demon beasts are not uncommon, and the place we are going to go now is there. ”

"It's all demon beasts above the eighth order, so how should we get there?" Zhan Chen exclaimed.

"How else can we live? That's it, otherwise what are we building the Heavenly Divine Boat for? Isn't it just to avoid being broken up by those big guys?"

As the two of them were talking, the demon beast had already come to the door. One by one, the seventh-order primary, seventh-order intermediate demon beasts burst out of the water and swarmed towards the deck.

Usually these demon beasts hate each other, kill each other, and repeatedly stage scenes of the weak eating the strong every day. Today, however, when humans invade their territory, these former rivals become friends, united in their hatred and hatred of the enemy.

The continuous attacks made the worshippers on the ship overwhelmed, and they all had to adopt a rotation system, half of them fought against the demon beasts, and the other part went to rest and recover the true element, and when those people recovered, they took over the offerings who had fought to the point of fatigue.

The casualties finally happened, and suddenly there was a "bang" on the side of the boat, and a huge demon beast came out, it was covered with scales, and there was a row of sharp dorsal fins on its back, which was particularly outstanding, with a long flat snout, full of fangs inside, and four legs like huge eagle claws, but the middle of the claws and claws was still webbed, and a tail was five meters long, with spikes at the end of the tail, like a sharp spear, and a pair of dim eyes, greedily staring at the solemn offerings on the ship.

"That's the Abyss Spear Monster!" The worship on the ship couldn't help but shout, the Abyss Spear Monster was a seventh-order high-level demon beast, and ordinary Martial Emperor Great Perfection powerhouses could not easily break through its defenses.

Seeing that it was about to invade the ship's surface, one of the worshippers shouted, "Die!" and slashed out a sword qi and slashed at it.

However, his attack was too weak to inflict enough damage on the Abyssal Spear Monster, but instead provoked its wildness, only to see the monster beast quickly sweep away the giant tail, and the pointed tail slashed through the body of the worshipper, bringing out a deep wound to the bone.

"Ahh

The demon beast wanted to pounce on the wounded, but heard an angry cry from the side: "Evil beast, beg for death!"

It turned out that Yang Nan saw this scene and rushed over, stabbed out with a sword, and successfully pierced the abdomen of the Yuan Spear Monster, resulting in a demon beast.

However, this was only the beginning, and there were more seventh-order high-level, and even seventh-order top-level demon beasts jumped onto the side of the ship, rushing towards everyone, fighting with the worship on the ship.

Seeing that the protection woven on the ship was being continuously broken by the demon beasts, and the casualties of the worshippers were also continuing to rise, Zhan Chen couldn't help but feel anxious, and wanted to leave the bow of the ship to help the people behind.

But he heard Ning Weitian beside him shouting: "Zhan Chen, don't go!"

Zhan Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and asked anxiously, "Master, why is this?"

"Because, we are about to enter the most dangerous abyssal sea, those demon beasts will automatically retreat, and you have to try to save your combat power at this time, and deal with those eighth-order demon beasts with me!"

"But—"

"Don't, trust the other guards, they can handle it. ”

When Zhan Chen heard him say this, he had to turn around and stay at the bow of the boat with Ning Weitian, letting the demon beasts and worshippers behind him fight.

Sure enough, after a while, the scenery in front of him changed again, the power of the Black Forest disappeared, and what came into view was the vast and boundless abyssal sea, and the water of the abyssal sea was different from what Zhan Chen had seen, it was pitch black, as black as ink, incomparably deep, like a nightmare.

The demon beasts that were still fighting with the worshippers on the boat, when they saw the black water, they really began to be timid, began to retreat, and jumped into the water one after another, fleeing wildly.

Zhan Chen looked at the seemingly endless abyss in front of him, it seemed so calm at this time, however, once their fleet entered it, it would be a stormy sea.
