Two hours later.

Above the vast ocean, sixteen giant ships like black hills are slowly sailing along the southwest direction, stretching for more than ten miles from beginning to end.

On the deck of the No. 1 Hanhai Giant Boat at the front of the fleet, Shi Mu stood against the railing, looking at the rough sea in front of him, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

In mid-air, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder, it was Cai'er.

"How is it?" Shi Mutou asked directly without replying.

"Stone, aren't you worried about my horse? I have already carefully surveyed it just now, and the sea area in front of me is very safe, and there are no giant sea beasts lurking. I estimate that all the sea beasts in the nearby sea area must have gathered in the previous place. Tsk, that willow bank is really powerful, so many sea beasts, it actually ...... all at once" Cai'er gushed endlessly, and seemed to be a little excited between her words.

"Judging from the half-human, half-fish creatures you saw earlier, these sea beasts must be controlled by the West Sea Tribe. The Stygian Moon Sect often goes out to sea to hunt sea beasts for sacrifice, and also refines the bones of sea beasts into spiritual pets, I am afraid that there is already a feud between it and the West Sea Clan. Before Cai'er finished speaking, Shi Mu interrupted.

"Stone, I don't understand what you mean. Cai'er tilted her head and said.

"What do you think would happen if all the ships turned around and made a detour when we found out before?" Shi Mu asked.

"I guess...... They'll probably come after you. Cai'er said.

"That's right, these water tribes are trying to wipe out the fleet of the Stygian Moon Sect this time, so they won't die if they don't achieve their goal. Even if we bypass this time, they can set up a second or even a third ambush, and we can't keep going around endlessly. Shi Mu said.

"Stone. You're saying that this willow is deliberately letting the curly hair and the one-eyed dragon go to death?"

"As far as I know, the secret technique that Liu An performed just now should be a high-level ghost Dao technique called the Corpse Explosion Technique in the Stygian Moon Sect. A full eight hundred elite disciples of the Stygian Moon Sect, plus the corpses of the sea beasts that were killed before, were able to wipe out the remaining sea beasts almost in one ......" Shi Mu said.

"I see! This willow bank is terrible! It's a good thing that you didn't join the Stygian Moon Sect, this sect is so evil that it harms even your own people!" Cai'er said, trembling all over.

"In fact, if he hadn't done this, more people would have died. But he's the only one who can do it. Shi Mu sighed lightly.

Cai'er didn't seem to understand what Shi Mu meant, and was about to open her mouth to ask again, when at this moment, there was a commotion on the boat.

Shi Mu turned his head and found the sea in the northwest direction. Two black dots appeared.

The black dot gradually became larger, but it was two giant ships of the Hanhai Sea that were heading here.

Shi Mu's eyes flashed with golden light, and he immediately had an unobstructed view of the situation on the two ships.

The surface of the two huge ships, the size of a small mountain, is full of traces of the fierce battle.

Liu An, who was dressed in a moon-white robe, was standing at the bow of the first ship at the moment, with an indifferent expression, while Huo Qing was standing behind Liu An with an extremely pale face, and the previous arrogance and arrogance had long since disappeared.

Right now. Several figures flew out of the huge boat behind them. One after another landed on the deck of the No. 1 Hanhai Giant Boat, it was Di Feng, Xiao Yu and other five hall masters.

Everyone looked at the two giant boats in the distance, with different expressions, and did not speak.

A moment later, the two giant ships approached.

Liu An's figure jumped up and landed on the deck of the No. 1 giant ship. Huo Qing hesitated slightly, and also flew over.

Seeing this, Di Feng, Xiao Yu and other five hall masters immediately surrounded them.

Shi Mu saw this, but did not go over.

"Huo Qing, what about Hall Master Wu, what about the other four ships?" Di Feng looked at Huo Qing with a pale face. Asked in a cold voice.

Huo Qing didn't dare to look directly at Di Feng, his face turned red, and he didn't say a word.

"When I passed, it was too late, Huo Dian's fleet was ambushed by a large number of sea beasts, including several earth-level sea beasts, and in the end, four giant ships were destroyed, and Wu Dian's master unfortunately fell. It should be the ghost of the West Sea Clan. At this moment, Liu An spoke.

Although most of the people present guessed what was going on in their hearts, they were still shocked when they heard Liu An's words.

"Hall Keeper Liu, are those sea beasts chasing after you now?" Xiao Yu seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.

"Probably not. Liu An was about to use the corpse at the scene as a guide to roughly describe the process of using the corpse explosion technique to severely damage the sea beast.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

Although the corpse explosion technique is a high-level spell, the moon-level soul masters on the scene have basically learned it, and it must be used on fresh corpses, and the power is related to the number of corpses that have been detonated before their death, and the principle is to detonate the true qi or mana in the corpse dantian to produce huge destructive power.

However, the corpse explosion technique performed with more than 1,000 corpses as the lead was really a bit appalling, and no one on the scene had tried such a big deal.

But I guess that not to mention a few earth-level sea beasts, even if there are a few more, it will not be a problem.

Although most of these corpses were disciples of the Stygian Moon Sect, since they had already died at the hands of sea beasts, it was understandable for Liu An to do so, and it also removed the hidden dangers in the future.

"It's me who insists on going my own way, and I, Huo Qing, am willing to be punished. At this moment, Huo Qing raised his head and said.

"Lord Huo wanted to arrive at the Xihe Continent earlier, and his original intention was also for the sake of this sect. But once this matter has come out, if it is not punished, it will not be able to convince the public. Lord of the Palace, Lord of the Temple, these two ships will be under your jurisdiction. As for the Huo Hall Master, he thought about it behind closed doors in the No. 1 Giant Boat, and at the same time recuperated from his injuries, and he would atone for his sins after arriving on the Xihe Continent one day. Liu An said.

"Yes. Xiao Yu and Di Feng immediately agreed.

"Thank you Hall Lord!" Huo Qing was not resentful of Liu An's deprivation of power, but looked a little grateful.

Not far away, Shi Mu glanced at Liu An, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Alright. Everyone is in place, and there must be no more mistakes in the next voyage!" Liu An commanded.

The hall masters present agreed in unison.

......

Quyang City, once the most prosperous capital of the ancient Western Xia Kingdom, is now a post-war mess.

Although the corpses of the people in the city have been cleaned up, the city is full of broken ruins and traces of blood, especially the Xicheng District, which was once controlled by the Stygian Moon Sect, has directly become a ruin.

The severity of the fighting that day can be seen from this.

However, on Xikuang Street in Dongcheng District, there is a building intact that does not seem to have been baptized by the war at all, that is, the Tianwu Weapons Shop.

At this time, on a street full of rocks near the Tianwu weapons shop, there stood a young girl dressed in a water-green dress and a light veil mask.

This woman's eyebrows were tightly locked, and everything she saw along the way made her very uneasy.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting the light veil on the woman's face, revealing one of the world's faces that could be broken by blowing, it was Zhong Xiu.

She dragged a letter in her hand, and after a little silence, she walked lightly towards the door of the shop.

......

Three months later, early in the morning.

The sun is shining brightly, and the wind is calm.

It's a rare piece of good weather at sea.

On the West Sea, more than a dozen Hanhai giant ships lined up in a line, splitting the wind and waves on the sea surface, and sailing forward.

Although the Hanhai Giant Ship is a spirit-level giant ship, it has been sailing on the sea for two months in a row, and there are many traces left by the wind and sun on the surface of the original brand new giant ship.

However, there were originally eighteen giant ships, but now there are only seventeen left.

The giant ship that broke into the deep sea was one of the two ships that came back with Huo Qing before, due to the heavy damage it suffered at that time, it still failed to hold on in the face of the turbulent tsunami and the sea beasts that suddenly appeared from time to time.

Even though there is a large-scale exploration of Cai'er, it is impossible to make a detour as soon as you encounter a sea beast.

At this moment, on the No. 1 giant boat in front, Shi Muzheng closed his eyes tightly, and posed in a strange posture of absorbing Japan.

Occasionally, one or two Dark Moon Sect disciples walked by, and their eyes looked at Shi Mu with awe and admiration, and no one dared to come over to disturb them.

Because of his previous success in predicting the ambush of the sea beasts, he now has a high status on the giant ship, and has received a lot of courtesy from the Stygian Sect.

Therefore, during this period of time, as long as the weather permitted, he would practice the Moon Swallowing Style and the Sun Absorbing Style through the dream realm, after all, in the eyes of others, Shi Mu was just practicing a certain kind of exercise.

After a moment, Shi Mu opened his eyes.

Since it was impossible to find the peak of the mountain in the vast sea, the effect of absorbing the Japanese style was not good, but even so, the golden grains in his mind had reached the size of a fingernail, and the silver-white grains condensed by the moon swallowing style had reached the size of a dragon's eye again.

He is quite satisfied with this result.

He stood up, moved his muscles, and walked to the bow of the boat, his eyes looking ahead.

In the vast sea area, there is endless sea water as far as the eye can see, and compared with the endless ocean, more than a dozen huge Hanhai giant ships are small and pitiful.

Shi Mu looked at the sea in front of him, and couldn't help but think back to his hometown, the East China Sea was also like this, but he didn't know what the situation was there now.

The shadow flashed, and Cai'er flew over and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder.

"Why don't you go and probe the situation ahead?" Shi Mu asked.

"It's okay, the sea beasts in the sea have obviously decreased a lot in the past two days. Cai'er said.

"Oh, is it?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

The number of sea beasts is decreasing, is it almost to the Xihe Continent?

"Brother Shi, are you awake?" At this moment, a voice came from behind, but it was Liu An who walked over.

Hearing this, Cai'er glanced back at Liu An, and hurriedly spread her wings and flew up, landing on the top of the sail.

"Brother Liu. Shi Mu turned around and said hello to Liu An.

"Hehe, it seems that Cai'er still doesn't like my appearance very much. Liu An walked over to Shi Mu and stood still, looked up at Cai'er, and said.

"Brother Liu is too worried, I asked Cai'er to explore the sea area ahead again. Shi Mu said.
