Chapter 4637 4635-Encountering Sea Fog
But the Jade didn't alert him, which meant that they didn't have any bad intentions. Perhaps they were here to protect Shangguan Tianhua in secret. This was the only thing that comforted Lin Yi.
They sailed across the endless ocean without any disturbance, and the sea's scenery was all the same. After the initial excitement, the rest of the journey became boring. Lin Yi didn't mind-he could hold it in for half a year in the five poisons swamp, where there was no light, let alone a half-month voyage.
However, Shangguan LAN 'er and Curly Bear couldn't hold it in any longer. They came to Lin Yi's place every day, pestering him to tell them about their experiences from time to time, treating it as a story to relieve their boredom.
Shangguan LAN 'er wasn't really interested in Lin Yi's adventures in the South continent-what she was really interested in was the common world. After listening to Lin Yi talk so much about the common world, she couldn't help but have a thought-one day, she had to go there and have some fun. Otherwise, she'd have to spend the rest of her life on Sky Class Island. What a pity that would be!
According to the schedule, the giant ship would be sailing on the sea for half a month. Other than the first two days of wandering around the ship, Lin Yi had completely turned into Shangguan LAN 'er's storyteller. He couldn't help but exclaim that this girl's interest in the secular world was really extraordinary. Even the smallest thing could make her excited for a long time, and she would chase after Lin Yi to get to the bottom of it.
This situation continued until the tenth day, when Lin Yi was telling Shangguan LAN 'er about his life as an assassin when a crew member suddenly came to report that there was a thick Sea Fog ahead, and they couldn't continue.
Lin Yi was shocked. He quickly brought Shangguan LAN 'er and Curly Bear to the deck to check the situation. There were already a lot of people gathered outside. Gongyang Jie, LAN Tiefu, and even Xu lingchong were here. After all, they were blocked by the sea fog and couldn't move forward. This was a big deal!
Although the giant treasured ship was a moving fortress on the sea, that was only relative to ordinary ships. If they were really trapped in the boundless sea for a long time, not only would it greatly delay the journey, but there would also be problems with supplies. However, compared to the latter two threats, these were just small problems.
These two threats were the sea beasts and the weather. Although the giant treasure ship could deal with 80% of the situation safely, there was still a 20% possibility of an accident. Once an accident happened, it would be a fatal crisis.
If they suddenly encountered a super-strong sea beast like the giant electric eel, could the giant treasure ship still be safe? This answer was not optimistic.
Similarly, if extreme bad weather appeared, it was difficult to guarantee that the giant treasured ship would not be in danger.
At this moment, the people who were constantly gathering on the deck were somewhat anxious. The sea fog itself was not scary, but what everyone was afraid of was what was hidden behind this thick Sea Fog. Was there nothing, a group of extremely Savage sea beasts, or a monstrous wave that could capsize a treasure ship?
Seeing Lin Yi and Shangguan LAN 'er appear, everyone gathered around them. Although this diplomatic mission was led by three elders from the three pavilions, everyone knew that they were only ceremonial officers. The three of them were only in the original infant stage, and their power wasn't even as strong as Lin Yi' s.
Not to mention, Lin Yi was Shangguan Tianhua's personal bodyguard, and he was also the emissary from the North Island to the West Island. When there was a need to make a decision, he should be the one to make the decision.
"Envoy Lin, the sea route ahead is completely covered by the sea fog. We can't figure out the specific situation at all. If we continue to move forward rashly, we might be in danger. What do you think we should do?" One of the elders asked on behalf of the crowd. Strength was respected. As elders, they were not necessarily fools who had their eyes on the top of their heads. When it was time to lower their heads, they were more agile than anyone else. After all, they were old and shrewd.
Lin Yi smiled and turned to Gongyang Jie and LAN Tiefu, "I'm just a new junior. Since Hall Master Gongyang and senior brother LAN are both here, it's natural for them to make the decision."
Everyone's eyes focused on the two of them-they were far above Lin Yi, of course, and their words were more convincing than Lin Yi 's.
Gongyang Jie and LAN Tiefu both looked at Lin Yi, their gazes deep and mysterious. They weren't on the same level, but Lin Yi's actions were enough for them to see. Anyone would feel good about Lin Yi's tactfulness.
However, the two of them had rather grave expressions at this moment. The sea fog in front of them was extremely thick, and the obstruction of spiritual sense had reached a point of no return. Even experts of their level could not overcome it. Even if they were not completely unable to use their spiritual sense like other people, the range of their detection was also very limited.
"This Lord's divine sense can only cover the surrounding fifty Zhang." Gongyang Jie only said this one sentence and then kept quiet.
"I'm the same," LAN Tiefu said indifferently.
Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly became more nervous. A perception range of 500 feet was simply not enough for sailing, especially for such a huge treasure ship. At such a short distance, there was no time to even discover the danger, let alone avoid it, unless they stopped in place and did not move at all.
Lin Yi couldn't help but have a headache now. The demonic thing's divine sense had a much larger range than theirs, but it wasn't enough to guarantee their safety. If they continued to move forward recklessly, it was like gambling with the lives of everyone on the ship. If something happened, the end result would be complete annihilation.
"Since that's the case, let's set up camp here and wait and see." Lin Yi decided.
Everyone nodded. This was the only way. Although it could be dangerous to just stop on the sea, it was better to stay still. This way, no matter what unpredictable situation occurred, at least they would have some time to react.
"However, this ocean is full of danger. Even if we set up camp here, we can't let down our guard. We must strengthen our vigilance." Lin Yi continued.
