Time passed slowly, and seven days had passed since the Heart of the Divine Island sent people to gather information. So far, apart from the daily reports of safety, not a single trace of civilization had been found.

Lu Shu, Lina Fiel, and the others had already discussed this on the 5th day. If there was still no news on the 10th day, they would just teleport away and not waste any more time here.

As for whether the scouting team will also need 10 days to return in 10 days? Well, it used to, but since the Fire Calamity created the teleportation artifact, we haven't had that problem anymore.

The teleportation item, forged by fire, is a one-time use artifact of divine quality and thoughtfully includes an automatic trigger mechanism—it can automatically activate and safely send the holder back to the pre-set teleportation point if the holder loses consciousness for any reason.

This highly practical and safe teleportation device has achieved full coverage across the entire island, ensuring that every member of the tribe can be quickly rescued and protected in the event of an emergency.

Beyond this, the fire did not stop there; he continued to forge a series of artifacts with diverse functions, covering a wide range of practical uses. These artifacts were not essential for everyone, but rather distributed according to need. Those clansmen who needed them could simply apply at the Heavenly Fire Forge and have the opportunity to obtain an artifact suitable for them, further improving their quality of life and their ability to cope with crises.

Besides the fire, Hua Xiao and Ling Nana also created many strange and magical potions. The one they were most proud of was the Fuling potion. However, the production was very small, mainly because the materials were scarce. Although it could be reset every day, the success rate of the Fuling potion was very low.

Even when Hua Xiao and Ling Nana teamed up, they only had a 40% success rate. Not to mention the other members of their clan, who didn't even have a 10% success rate.

As for the effects of the Fuling Potion, this potion can be described as the jewel of their hard work, possessing amazing restorative effects—when a user is critically injured and exhausted of divine power, just one dose can instantly revive them to full health and restore them to their best condition.

Because of the extremely low production, apart from the clan leaders, only the small teams that have already set out to explore are equipped with two or three bottles.

......

Finally, on the 9th day, a small team found the civilization in this sea area.

After investigation, this sea area was found to be the Wuhu-Minhai Sea Area, which ranks 24th. This sea area has one characteristic: it is very large. Therefore, there is little interaction between various forces. After all, the journey is long and it is easy to encounter natural disasters, resulting in the loss of both life and wealth.

Besides the vastness of the sea area, the resources in this sea area are also relatively scarce. It should be noted that 24th place is already a very low ranking sea area, but it is still higher than the unranked sea areas. There are only 30 high-level sea areas in total.

The sea areas beyond the top 30 are collectively referred to as "wild seas." Although this name sounds desolate and resource-scarce, even wild seas often possess unique ecological environments and certain precious resources. Overall, they are still superior to the environments in lower-level intermediate sea areas.

The reconnaissance team searched the city in the Wuhu-Minhai waters for a whole day, but the results were disappointing—they found no intelligence organization whatsoever.

At the same time, the power structure in this sea area is extremely chaotic and disorderly, lacking a powerful force to lead and integrate resources. In such an environment, not only is it difficult to obtain external information, but even daily activities and resource gathering become extremely difficult.

Given this situation, the reconnaissance team could only promptly report this crucial information to the clan leaders, including Deer Tree and Linafil, and request a decision from the higher-ups. Upon receiving the intelligence from Serpent Rhoka, the clan leaders quickly convened a meeting to discuss the current situation in detail.

After careful consideration and analysis, they unanimously decided that, given the enormous size of the Wuhu-Minhai waters, which severely reduced operational efficiency and made it impossible to effectively collect special resources or intelligence, staying there was of no practical significance.

Once it was decided, Lu Shu instructed Chief She Ruojia to notify all outgoing teams to use the teleportation items to return, and to leave once the island's teleportation cooldown was over the next day.

Upon hearing this, Sheruojia nodded and immediately notified the snake-people in each squad.

Upon receiving the notification, the outing teams used their teleportation items to return. The first thing they did upon returning was to rush to the Skyfire Forge to replenish their teleportation items, since it was stipulated by many clan leaders that everyone must wear one.

Chen Ping has already granted the island teleportation portal to Lu Shu and Linafiel, so they can teleport to the island without him.

On the 10th day, the island teleportation cooldown was over. Deer Tree immediately notified all clansmen that the island teleportation would soon be activated, so remember to protect your eyes and avoid getting them excited.

As for Chen Ping, hehe, he's currently cunningly staying in a completely enclosed room. With the door closed, there's nowhere for light to get in. This is a movie theater he specially created, since the movies in the chat group can be projected directly for everyone to watch together.

After receiving notification from Lu Shu and the others, Chen Ping rushed in and is now happily watching the horror movie on the screen.

After being notified, Lu Shu, Linafil, and the others began using the island teleportation. Instantly, a massive teleportation portal appeared in front of the Heart of the Divine Island, and the island controlled by Linafil rushed into it.

The white light slowly began to envelop everyone again, and a few minutes later, everyone felt the light dissipate.

After the light dissipated, Lu Shu and the others opened their eyes one by one and began to make arrangements. After all, the first thing to do upon arriving in a new sea area is always to investigate the intelligence of this sea area.

The squad, already fully prepared, quickly and orderly set off from the beach at the Heart of the Divine Island after receiving orders. They dispersed in various directions.

As the exploration team set off, Lu Shu, Linafeier, and the others got busy with their own tasks again.

Meanwhile, Chen Ping was leisurely eating the popcorn that had appeared in the golden snack box today. This was why he came to the movie theater, and he even brought the golden snack box with him.

Lycia brought Ellie back and searched for most of the day, but couldn't find her. In the end, she pouted and left unhappily.

......

Time passed quickly, and on the third day after the exploration team set off, Sheruojia received the information. This time the speed was quite fast, so it should be an area with more than 20 people.

The clan leaders, having been notified, gathered in the meeting room to begin their discussion.

Sheruojia: "Chief Deertree, according to the intelligence relayed by the reconnaissance team, this sea area is ranked 11th, the White Flower Sea."
