In a quiet room.

Saitama quickly took off the wooden hairpin that was tied on her bun, and with a light flick of her hand, a poisonous insect as small as a speck of dust flew out of the hairpin.

Then, it flew out through the gap in the window.

These poisonous insects are as small as dust and are very inconspicuous even in the perception of divine consciousness.

After just a few breaths, the turbulence on the spirit ship subsided, and the spiritual light restrictions that were swaying everywhere also calmed down.

The flying poisonous insect was also attached to the dust floating in the space.

The already weak breath was "petrified" when it merged with the dust.

Let the wind blow it and it floated into some boxes.

"suspended animation?"

Shen Lian captured the insect with his spiritual sense for a while and then withdrew it. He found that after the insect combined with the dust, its faint spiritual light dissipated, as if it was dead.

It's really a good reconnaissance tool.

After Saitama released the bug, he did not take any other action, and the bug did not enter the box where the six of them were.

If he doesn't bother with him, Shen Lian won't have the leisure to care about other people.

Who said that this girl with a baby face and big body doesn’t make poisons or play with insects?

It's true that the better behaved they are, the more fun they have.

The bugs I play with are different from others.

At the moment when the restrictions on the spirit ship were disrupted, Shen Lian also scanned the entire spirit ship with his divine sense.

There are nearly one hundred and sixty monks on the entire spirit ship.

There are forty cultivators belonging to the spirit ship, and among the remaining one hundred and twenty there are eleven Qi-cultivating cultivators.

This spiritual ship treats everyone equally in terms of tickets, but there is no such thing as practicing Qi or building a foundation.

The cost of the boat tickets for one hundred and twenty people alone was more than one million spirit stones.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that a million spirit stones are a lot of money. The flight of a spirit ship also consumes spirit stones. At least one third of the spirit stones will be consumed as energy.

We also have to pray that we don't encounter any danger, otherwise after this trip, we might even lose money by repairing the spirit ship and providing compensation to the dead.

Of course, if they were losing money every time, the major sects behind them would have quit long ago. Now that they still control the routes, they can only say that they are making some money.

…

One month after the spirit ship set sail, the stable spirit ship began to sway again, and the amplitude of the sway became larger and larger.

His divine sense sensed outside and he saw huge waves on the sea and heavy rain falling on the sea like a curtain of sky.

In the rain, streaks of white light flashed with varying degrees of energy and pressure, falling from the sky.

It kept shaking like this for two days, and the celestial phenomena outside became more violent, with continuous roars being heard.

"My fellow Taoists, please stop practicing for now. The spirit ship has been traveling through the celestial phenomenon 'Sudden Rain Curtain' for five days. The core of the sudden rain is ahead, and we need to break the rain for a short period of time to move forward."

The voice rang out on the spirit ship, and the monks who were practicing with their eyes closed woke up one after another.

“Boom!”

A spiritual light lit up on the shaking spirit ship, and rays of water-blue light gathered above the spirit ship, forming an extremely tall water-colored light column.

When the energy of the light column gathered to the peak, it crashed down into the heavy rain ahead.

A pillar of light hundreds of feet long fell down like a pillar from the sky, smashing a path in the torrential rain like a curtain of sky and stirring up endless wind and waves.

Runes on both sides of the spirit ship lit up, and four pairs of huge black wings grew out, gathering the rain under the wings, using the force to drag the spirit ship into the passage, crossing hundreds of miles of void in one fell swoop.

In the quiet room, feeling the shaking of the spirit ship weakened a lot, Shen Lian slowly withdrew his spiritual thoughts.

No wonder the monks said that crossing the open sea was very dangerous. We had not gone far when we encountered a celestial phenomenon at sea.

For cultivators, violent storms are nothing, but they contain spiritual energy.

In the overwhelming rainstorm, white light flashed, and water swords and water knives clanged against the hull like beating drums.

It's raining knives from the sky, tell me if it's a scam or not.

Even if I use my spiritual power to resist, how long can I hold out?

After passing through the core area of ​​the celestial rainstorm, the wings grown by the spirit ship disappeared again, and its speed returned to its original state.

Having wings means flying fast, but it also consumes spirit stones. The owners behind the spirit ships are all wealthy and powerful. They earn a lot of spirit stones but also spend a lot, so they should save as much as possible.

Spirit Ship Attic.

"Report to the Immortal, the edge of the celestial phenomenon 'Sudden Rain Curtain' is a hundred miles ahead."

A cultivator at the ninth level of foundation building entered the attic.

Master Kun Yuan closed her eyes to rest, without even lifting her eyelids. She was not worried about the celestial phenomena.

No matter how severe the celestial phenomenon is, the worst that can happen is that the spirit ship will retreat.

The sailing time of the long-distance spirit ship is not fixed, it can be one year or two years.

What we are really worried about are the sea monsters and the sea people.

Back then, the sea clan surrounded the Wanxing Sea and kept the human cultivators in the sea area in captivity. However, these alien races had evil ambitions and left behind a lot of trouble when they retreated.

Perhaps to disgust the human race, or perhaps they retreated unwillingly, these things left behind a tribe of demons in the outer sea of ​​​​Wanxing.

With the secret support of the sea clan and after years of development, this remaining demon clan has grown into a powerful force.

It has more than ten third-level demon kings in charge and a large number of demons under its command. Its strength is comparable to that of the top-level Jindan sects.

There is nothing special about the top-level Jindan sect, after all, there is the Yuanying sect Yunshang Sect in the South China Sea, but the monsters of the Siren Islands are connected to the Wan Yao Realm of the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.

This created a very embarrassing situation: the monsters in the Siren Islands could be killed, but they could not be completely eliminated.

The Yunshang Sect did not dare to take this risk.

"Keep exploring and be careful of the sirens lurking in the sea."

Zhenren Kunyuan gave an order. As a sect's Zhenren, she really didn't want to take on the job of commanding the spirit ship unless she could not get rid of it.

There are three major demon tribes on the Siren Islands, all of which are ruled by demon kings who are comparable to the late Jindan and great Jindan perfection. Among them is a black water red snake tribe, which is extremely hostile to the human race and has a large number of snake monsters under its command.

Over the years, the demon tribe that attacked passing spirit warships the most frequently were the Black Water Red Snake Tribe.

In addition to the demon clan, there are also the lurking sea clan. You never know when they will launch a surprise attack, and they are even harder to guard against than the demon clan.

…

In a quiet room.

Shen Lian took out the route map he bought when he got on board. This route map was very different from the route map in the Wanxing Inner Sea.

There is more than one route marked on the open sea route map. There are more than a dozen forks in the road after starting from the Cape Fairy City, and these forks will branch out into varying numbers as you go further back.

That is to say, once the spirit ship sets sail, it will change its route direction at any time according to the situation it encounters along the way.

Although there are many forks in the road, we have gained experience over the years.

In the overall direction, a total of six routes were derived. Even if the spirit ship deviated from its course, it would still sail along one of the six routes.

After looking at the route map for a while, Shen Lian shook his head and put it away. Compared with the routes in the inland sea, the routes in the outer sea were too chaotic.

"The Siren Islands."

In the route map, Shen Lian paid most attention to the gathering place of the Wanhai monster tribe.

It's not that there are no islands outside the Wanxing Sea. Not only are there islands, but the way these islands exist is very unfavorable to the human race.

The islands in the Wanxing Inner Sea are scattered all over the sea, just like the stars in the sky, with no pattern and scattered randomly on the sea.

But the islands in the outer sea are not like that. They are repaired by celestial phenomena and human factors.

After repairs, the islands in the outer sea of ​​Wanxing appear as an island chain, running from east to west and stretching for more than 100,000 miles.

What a coincidence, it is located right between the South China Sea and the Wanxing Sea, like a defensive fortification stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.

This island chain stretching for more than 100,000 miles is the Siren Islands. From west to east, it is occupied by the three most powerful demon tribes and countless large and small demon populations.

Every time the spirit ship passes through, it has to cross this Siren Island chain. Fortunately, the widest part of the island chain from north to south is only ten thousand miles.

Every time, the spirit ship would look for the weak points of the demon clan to cross the strait.

Along the way, as the spirit ship passed by, some monks in the quiet room of the box came out for some fresh air, but Shen Lian did not go out either.

Just like that, more than three months later, the spirit ship passed through two stormy seas in succession and entered a foggy sea area.

Looking down from mid-air, the ocean below appears dark.

"My fellow Taoists, once you pass through the sea fog area, you will enter the demon clan's sea area."

The cold voice penetrated the cabin and entered the ears of every monk.

Many of the monks who had been silent were startled and no longer had the heart to practice.

Entering the demon tribe’s sea area means that you may be attacked by the demon tribe at any time.

Small-scale ones are easy to deal with, the spirit ships can handle them easily, but we are worried about the appearance of a third-level demon king.

Just as humans hunt demons to obtain demon elixirs, use demon blood for cultivation, and refine weapons, humans are also delicious in the mouths of demons.

The demon race rarely has the tradition of alchemy, but they can swallow the entire human race as a pill.

Catch the human race and shout.

Put it in your mouth and scream.

Chew it and make a sound.

This is the delicacy "Three Cries of Human Race" which is well-known among the monsters.

After receiving the notice, Shen Lian clearly felt that the atmosphere on the spirit ship had become tense.

Even Lin Yixing and others who were practicing in the quiet room in the box where he was, also walked into the living room in the public area one after another.

"Friend Lu."

Seeing Shen Lian coming out, everyone greeted him.

"The last time I came here, the spirit ship crossed the island occupied by the Green Water Spirit Turtle Clan. This demon clan likes quietness and rarely chases after humans."

Lin Yixing spoke softly, but there was no sign of relief on his face.

"The Green Water Spirit Turtle tribe doesn't like to move, but other demon tribes are harder to deal with."

"These monsters know that there are routes coming and going, so they will conduct reconnaissance in this abyssal fog area in advance."

…

“Chiu!”

A high-pitched cry sounded outside the spirit ship.

"Lianshui Demon Eagle!"

Everyone quickly gathered in front of the large window in the box and looked outside, but the fog blocked their view and they couldn't see the situation outside clearly.

At this moment, not only the monks in their box were alert, but all the monks on the entire spirit ship were alert.

Several foundation-building monks stationed on the spirit ship flew to the bow of the ship and each took out a whistle-like magic weapon from their storage.

“Wuwuwu…”

Under the stimulation of spiritual power, the whistle magic weapon emitted a humming sound, which continued to spread in all directions.

"This is an owl spirit whistle. When activated, it can emit the low cry of a giant bone demon owl. This demon beast is the enemy of the Lianshui demon eagle. It can disperse the Lianshui demon eagles that are hovering nearby."

The sound of the owl whistle had not stopped yet when another monk on the spirit ship took out an ox-head drum.

When struck by spiritual power, the drum emitted a mooing sound, which was then transmitted into the mist through a copper magic tool that acted like an amplifier.

"This is to attract the Phantom Whale. This kind of whale is huge and hunts many creatures in the ocean for food."

Shen Lian's spiritual consciousness fell towards the abyss of the ocean below, and soon he sensed the waves emerging from the water.

A black shadow that was more than thirty feet long emerged from the water, and its two small eyes looked around.

As the "moo moo" sound rang out, two giant whales were really attracted over. When the giant whales came over, the bull-head drum on the spirit ship was put away.

The spiritual light on the spirit ship flashed and quickly broke through the fog, leaving the giant whale far behind, leaving two giant whales confronting each other.

The Owl Whistle and the Ox-Head Drum, two inconspicuous magical instruments, are quite effective.

The cry of the Lianshui Demon Eagle disappeared into the mist as the owl's cry sounded.

The demon race has low intelligence. Even for the second-level demon beasts, most of them have intelligence similar to that of human children. Most of the time, they rely on instinct to control their activities.

But there are too many monsters on the Siren Islands, and there are always some with extraordinary intelligence. When encountering these elite monsters, these magic weapons that fool the mentally retarded monsters are of little use.

There were monsters lurking outside, so everyone gathered in the living room and naturally there was more communication.

Through the people in the same box, Shen Lian also caught the words of other teams of monks in nearby boxes, which allowed him to confirm one thing again.

That is, every time the spirit ship goes back and forth, it will be chased and attacked by demons. The difference is how many demons are chasing, how strong they are, whether they can catch up or not, and how intense the fight is.

It wasn’t because he was on board this spirit ship that he encountered the demon clan.

It wasn't just because he was on this spirit ship that he encountered the sea creatures.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian felt a little relieved.

His divine sense then fell on fellow Taoist Saitama who was standing beside him. This little female cultivator looked innocent, but she was secretly rubbing her fingers constantly.

On the surface, she looked like she was rubbing her fingers nervously, but he felt that she was excited, as if she was looking forward to something.

What are you excited about? What are you looking forward to? A demon attack?

…

The spirit ship traveled through the fog for three days without activating any restrictions along the way. However, Shen Lian sensed that energy was accumulating in the core position of the spirit ship, like a volcano suppressing its eruption.

The real danger is still to come, not only from the demon clan's island chain, but also from the possible appearance of sea clan monks.

On the highest attic of the spirit ship, a cultivator quickly came up to Master Kunyuan.

"Elder, we are about to leave the foggy sea."
