Before dark, Ding Qin set out from a small fishing port and arrived at the reef wall.

Only here did he know what the so-called dangers of the open sea were.

A reef wall is a ring of rocks rising from the bottom of the sea, enclosing the entire inland sea, giving it the feeling of a crater. From the reef outward, the depth of the water increases suddenly, not less than 100 meters at the shallowest point, and only 35 meters deep inside.

The entire reef wall is about ten meters wide and about two meters deep, and the stones below are clearly visible on the sea. Such a shallow beach forms a natural barrier with the deep sea, and slightly larger animals, especially those in the sea, will run aground in some places, and basically rarely enter the fishing grounds.

Once here, Ding Qin quickly broke away from the fishing boat and stepped into the water to reach the reef wall. The fisherman didn't seem surprised by the situation, but shouted from behind, "It's better to leave with the fishing boat when the wind and waves are strong at night!"

Of course, Ding Qin will not leave. His purpose was simple, to use this reef wall, bypass the iron wall, and enter the interior of the Cape of the Stars.

Night is slowly falling. As the stars and moon rose, the sea was sparkling, and Ding Qin's figure became more and more blurred in people's sight.

Silently, Ding Qin had reached the second metal wall with his ability to float on water.

On the metal wall, it's the last sentry here. The metal wall here is wider than in other places, and when it meets the reef wall, it forms a large lookout platform. There were more people at the sentry than in other places, and there should have been about ten of them.

Now, a fire had ignited at the sentry position, illuminating the nearby area in red.

Ding Qin slowly touched under the metal wall. He tried to touch the metal, it was cold and slippery, very fine. He couldn't tell what kind of metal it was, but he was sure that it was an alloy of no less strength.

Not to mention that the entire metal wall is built with this alloy, even if the ordinary stone wall is covered with a layer of such alloy plates, it is a huge project. Of course, the Star Empire would not have put in such a big effort in vain to build an ordinary port with such a large investment.

If you want to go around the wall, Ding Qin will inevitably enter the open sea. He observed under the wall for a while, and saw that the sea was calm, there was no wind and waves, and there was no sign of any demonic beasts, so he made up his mind and ran forward directly by stepping on the water.

Unexpectedly, only halfway through, a large amount of white light suddenly erupted from the open sea.

This kind of white light is arc-shaped, extremely fast, and the direction of the shot is actually where Ding Qin is. Ding Qinxin said that it was not good, so he immediately exerted force under his feet and rushed forward.

And on top of the metal wall, someone shouted at this time, "It's coming, it's coming, the silver arrow flying fish is coming!"

There was a "whew" sound, and the wall shone brightly. The soldiers at the sentry lit huge torches, illuminating the sea in a bright light.

Ding Qin frowned. What a thing?

He immediately changed course and immediately moved closer to the base of the wall. When he reached the base of the wall, he happened to find a white light, which clanged in front of him and inserted into the metal wall.

It's a fish.

The whole fish is about a meter long, palm-wide, and snow-white with a slightly glowing body. Its mouth was thin, pointed, and unusually hard, about half a foot into the metal wall.

Just from the black qi that flashed from those blood-red eyes, Ding Qin could determine that this was a small sea demonic beast. Strange to say, when there was no metal wall, there was not a single flying fish. It only began to appear here when it arrived, which shows that the marine living area of this magical beast is clear.

Ding Qin noticed that there were many holes about the size of the fish's mouth on the metal wall here.

These potholes, just on the smooth wall, gave Ding Qin some power points.

He tread water under his feet, and sometimes he used the potholes to move quickly against the wall. And those silver arrow flying fish, which have been targeting him, keep shooting out of the sea, nearly half of them are nailed to the wall, and their tails are constantly swinging.

"Did you find it?, is there anyone?" there was a commotion on the city wall. They must have used something like a mirror to reflect the light from the fire onto the surface of the sea and search for it closely.

It wasn't until they bypassed the metal wall and entered the wall that the Flying Fish's attack stopped. Ding Qin found that he was also shocked into a cold sweat. With the speed and strength of the flying fish, if one is really shot, there will definitely be one who will be affected. If you are accidentally discovered from above and delay your action, it will be a matter of time before you are shot by a flying fish.

Fortunately, the sentry above focused only on the sea area at the end of the wall, and did not search into the wall. After a while, there was another person above, "I guess there is some big fish swimming out and being discovered and attacked by flying fish, right? There is not even half a shadow of the boat, how can there be anyone." Okay, okay, let's put out the fire, go and get the cover, and in the evening we have flying fish to roast and eat. ”

Ding Qin calmed down inside the wall for a long time, and only then did he continue to move forward until the movement on the wall became smaller and smaller. Looking at the whole picture of Xingjiao Harbor, he was finally able to see it.

Battleships, in this, are all ironclad battleships!

Could it be that King Xingyao wanted to secretly develop his naval power here, and then closed the port? In that case, wouldn't it be possible that Dengsendai might have forbidden people to play because it was a secret base for developing a navy?

However, Ding Qin soon overturned this possibility.

Because these warships, when they look closely, they are obviously scarred, and they don't look like they are newly built. In particular, some of the warships were badly rusted and obviously traumatized, which is somewhat consistent with the legendary situation of the near-destruction of the fleet in the event of a storm.

In that case, could it be that when you go to sea from the Cape of the Stars, you would have used these warships?

If this waterway is really dangerous, then it is possible. Or, to protect the safety of members of the royal family, this is also possible.

Ding Qin quietly marched under the harbor, and roughly counted, there should be no less than fifty warships here. In addition to large ships, there are also a small number of larger ironclad supply ships, which are very suitable for sea support during long voyages.

If you can get an ironclad supply ship...... Ding Qin thought in his mind, "Wouldn't it be much easier to go to Chiyan Mountain?"

"I'll see where else you can run. Just as he was thinking, a deep voice came from behind him.

Ding Qin didn't feel the arrival of this person. Perhaps, he had been here all along, in some dark outpost.

Turning suddenly, there was darkness behind him. Ding Qin's eyes searched, but he still didn't find where the person was.

"You can't see me? Of course you can't see me. The man's laughter seemed to come from all sides, and he couldn't tell where he was for a moment. "You may feel that you don't feel like someone is coming. Yes, I've always been here. It's just that you don't know where I am. ”

Ding Qin didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he lowered his voice and said, "Who are you?"

The man asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in Starport? I should have asked you." ”

Ding Qin didn't hide it, "I want to go to sea from Wangxing Port." ”

The man smiled, "Everyone who comes to Wangxinggang wants to go to sea." However, the king gave an order, and now anyone is forbidden to go to sea from here. If you trespass into the restricted area, you have already violated the royal order, which is a capital offense. ”

Ding Qin said, "I have no intention of trespassing, nor do I intend to violate the order, but I just want to know the situation in this port." ”

"What's the difference?" said the man, "There is only one kind of person who wants to know what's going on in the harbor." That's the one who is going to go to Sendai. ”

Ding Qin said, "I want to go to sea from here, but my goal is not to go to Sendai." ”

The man actually laughed again, "Is it? The target is not to ascend to Sendai? Leaving you behind will be a scourge for the Star Empire. But, to be honest, it's been a while since I've met someone of your calibre. It should take a few moments to be able to quietly enter this area in the dark of night. ”

If the target is not in Sendai, he can't stay? What does this mean? Ding Qin could hear what was being said, but he didn't have time to ask.

Because directly in front of him, there was a battleship's cannon muzzle, shining with a bright light.

The cannon fired at itself!

At this distance, in fact, it is very difficult to hit someone with a cannon. Ding Qin only dodged to one side, which was enough to dodge this attack.

But soon, he realizes that he was wrong.

What comes out of the cannon *, the light is not strong, the speed is fast. Moreover, it can change direction!

The thing drew an arc and rushed towards itself, and Ding Qin's dodge just now didn't have much effect.

Just when he got close, Ding Qin realized that it was not a cannonball, but a person!

Out of the muzzle?

Could it be that he had been hiding in the muzzle of the gun just now?

This covert method is a new one.

If you don't know the truth, no matter who it is, you probably won't go inside the muzzle of the gun at night, right?

When the two approached, the light around the man was shining again. Behind him, there were stars and ribbons of light.

This is still a cultivator!

The second level of spiritual power!

In the Star Empire, a cultivator of the second order and the first level can also be regarded as a master. King Xingyao stationed a second-order spiritual power cultivator here, which also shows the importance he attaches to this place.

In a battle with him, Ding Qin was certainly not afraid. The two of them were of the same level, and Ding Qin was sure that his breakthrough was imminent, and he was already at the peak of the second order and the first level.

But Ding Qin didn't want to fight.

Because this cultivator is not alone here.

On the city walls, there were no less than hundreds of sentinels. In addition to those sentinels, there should be at least three to four times as many defenders as many sentinels to replace.

If you make a big deal here, if your appearance is remembered by these people, I am afraid that even if you create a weapon for the six princes, you will be easily held accountable and punished.

In addition, he had already seen the basic situation in the port, and he originally had the intention of leaving.

So, his first thought was, go ahead!

But, obviously, the man didn't let go of his thoughts easily.
