The ancient West Coast reef is lined with rocks, and the setting sun sets over the horizon in the distance, leaving a brilliant red glow in the sky and sea, as if half the world has been set on fire.

The zigzag coastline is concave here, creating a huge flare.

The tide poured into the mouth of the trumpet from the vast expanse of the sea, crashing desperately against the reefs on both sides, washing away the mud and vegetation there.

As the bell mouth narrows, the height of the tide continues to rise, and the sound of the waves becomes louder and louder, as if thousands of troops and horses are galloping.

In the midst of the surging waves, a big fish jumped up from time to time, opened its big mouth, and showed its sharp teeth, as if it was about to bite the sky.

A large black bird hovered in the sky, jerked its wings, and swooped down into the water like a meteor.

After a while, the big bird flew up from the water, its sharp beak holding a large fish that was still struggling.

A figure stood quietly on the surface of the water about half a mile above the tide line.

The great bird landed on his outstretched arm, and as soon as the mouth loosened, the great fish fell and fell into a net pocket that the man was carrying.

The tide continues to surge, and the momentum is getting louder and louder.

The man was motionless, always half a mile away from the head of the tide.

The afterglow of the setting sun had long since sunset into the invisible abyss to the west, and the night was getting thicker, and the thick black clouds drifting from the east blocked the moon that was supposed to cover the sea with silver veil at this moment.

……

It's raining for most of the city.

Qi Fei almost walked through the dark clouds, always beware of the lightning crawling in the clouds overhead.

Gan Pengfei asked everyone to move forward in a line, with the purpose of investigating possible anomalies in Jiaoze as much as possible.

For example, is there a big demon from Lion Camel Ridge lurking here, ready to receive the sea monster landing.

And there are also demons in Qijiaoze itself.

If it is not cleared, it will be very troublesome once the abdomen and back are attacked.

So they fly very slowly, and they keep in touch with each other all the time.

For cultivators, the distance of twenty miles is in a flash.

Except for the rain, the journey west was fairly smooth.

Eradicated some small demons, and basically did not encounter major obstacles.

In Qi Hufei's opinion, these little demons are quite innocent.

They originally lived here carefree, bathed in the spring breeze and winter snow, summer and autumn moon, and in the gradually opening mind, they knew the world ignorantly.

If it weren't for this heavy rain, Qijiao Ze would not have turned into an ocean, and no one would have invaded their homeland.

However, the situation forced them to end their spiritual path.

Fan Wuji became the busiest person on this journey, flying around with the Yin-Yang bottle, running to various accident locations.

Although demons do not have immortal powers, in the laws of the heavenly court, they have the right to be reincarnated and reborn. Under normal circumstances, after killing demons, immortal cultivators are not allowed to kill their souls, so that they have the opportunity to be reincarnated.

But in this wilderness where there is no underworld, they have no chance of reincarnation, and one of the main tasks of Fan Wuyi's trip is to collect these souls.

This is also a great merit for the three teams.

It took them half a day to travel 1,600 miles, and when they arrived at Qianlong Bay, it was already midnight.

Lingxi Town is said to be a town, but in fact it is just a small fishing village.

It's just that there are remnants of the ancient town built when the Lion Camel Country was under the jurisdiction of the country.

From these stone buildings, it can be seen that the country of lions and camels was also a prosperous and prosperous country back then.

The town's fishermen have long since been dismissed.

Rumors about ancient sea monsters eating people make them afraid to face the annual tide.

The tide was raging, and the sound of lapping on the coastal reef could be heard far away at night, like the howl of the devil.

There were only two people left in the town.

They are not only the cadres of Lingxi Town, but also the inspectors of the Heavenly Court here, replacing the functions of the former City God's Division.

Their relationship with Honggu County Chenghuangsi is very delicate.

Although the sea outposts are one level lower than the Chenghuang Division in rank, they are completely independent and are not under the jurisdiction of Honggu County.

But they don't have a direct unit above them.

They report to the Heavenly Court every year, but when they encounter an emergency, they can only ask for assistance from the nearest City God.

This nearest Chenghuang Division is the Honggu County Chenghuang Division, which is 1,600 miles away from them.

When Gan Pengfei and his entourage arrived in Linxi Town, Inspector Xu Lai was already there to greet them.

The team of thirty-six people dispatched most of the main force of the Chenghuang Division.

This is the largest number of people sent to Xihai since the establishment of the Honggu County Chenghuang Division.

Even when Gan Pengfei hunted the unicorn whale in the West Sea, there were only a dozen people here.

Xu Lai and Gan Pengfei were obviously already very familiar with each other, and as soon as they met, they greeted each other: "Director Gan, it's been hard all the way." ”

Immediately, he greeted Liu Yu warmly, and then looked at Qi Feifei.

"Who is this?"

Xu Lai saw Qi Feifei's eyes, but standing behind Gan Pengfei with Liu Yu Wenliang, the status of the three of them was obviously the same.

Gan Pengfei introduced: "This is the captain of our newly established fourth team, Qi Feifei. ”

"It turned out to be Captain Qi, please take care of our small outpost in the future."

Qi Hufei shook hands with him and said, "Inspector Xu is polite. ”

Xu Lai took everyone into the only office building in town.

It is said that the office building is actually very simple, a total of only two floors, the first floor is a warehouse for stacking sundries, and the entrance is a square for villagers to dry fish.

On the second floor there is an office and a large conference room.

This is to be used as the temporary headquarters for this operation.

There are two large cauldrons in the warehouse on the first floor, one pot of hot water and the other pot of fish soup, both of which are steaming.

This is for everyone's relieverage.

Of course, for cultivators, flying more than a thousand miles in half a day is not a tiring thing, and they all have enough medicine and food on them, and they can be reimbursed if they use them up anyway, so they don't need Lingxi Town to provide them with anything.

Gan Pengfei asked everyone to rest on the spot, and then took a few captains and went upstairs with Xu Lai.

"How's it going?" Gan Pengfei asked Xu Lai.

"It's a little more complicated than expected." Xu said, "At present, the number of krakens monitored has exceeded 200, and they are gathering on several islands about 400 miles from the coast. A small number of people rushed to the shore while the tide was rising, but there was no sign of going ashore, and they should have just come to inquire about the situation. ”

"Spies?" Gan Pengfei wondered, "The Kraken has always been unorganized and undisciplined, how could he send spies?" ”

"That's exactly what we're worried about. The Krakens assembled this time were very patient. The tide was getting stronger day by day, and the rain was increasing, but they were not in a hurry to get ashore. Originally, we thought they were waiting for the biggest tide, but judging by their recent odd behavior, it may not be that simple. ”

"When will the tide peak?"

"According to the weather forecast, it should be two days after tomorrow. Combined with the rain from the west and the water level of Qijiaoze, the day after tomorrow will be the best time for the sea monster to land. ”

"Where's your left stationmaster?"

"I take turns monitoring with Station Master Zuo, and it's his turn tonight. He said that he wanted to find an opportunity to catch a demon spy back today. ”
