However, when they really entered the strange new sea route, the gap suddenly became apparent.
Under the sea fog, the visibility had unknowingly dropped to less than 20 meters. Between the 32 ships, they could still hear the sound of each other riding the wind and waves, but they could no longer see each other's silhouette, and some of them could not even be seen clearly.
Visibility, for all navigators, was the most critical and important. Once the visibility was reduced, it meant that there was no way to observe the environment in advance to avoid risks. When the eyes lost their function, especially in such a completely strange new sea route, it could be imagined how fatal it would be. Whether they lived or died, everything depended on luck.
Even the most experienced sailor would be shaken in the face of a situation like this. Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't have any experience at all. His knowledge of sailing was limited to the basics, and he couldn't even control the ship as he pleased. His face was calm and confident.
Bang! Not far away, there was a sudden loud noise, and then there was the sound of seawater pouring into the cabin, accompanied by a hoarse cry for help. However, this voice was soon drowned by the huge waves.
There was no doubt that the ship not far away must have hit a submerged reef, which resulted in the destruction of the ship and the death of the crew. However, there was nothing they could do about it. In this kind of visibility, they couldn't even see the ship 20 meters away, let alone the submerged reef hidden under the sea.
Before the sound on this side had completely subsided, there was another loud bang on the other side. The result was the same as here, another submerged reef.
They had just set off, but in the blink of an eye, the ships on the left and right had been destroyed one after another. As for places farther away, there were probably many people who suffered the same fate, but they were all covered by the sound of the surrounding wind and waves, so Lin Yi could not hear it.
In the face of all this, ordinary people would tremble with fear, as if they were walking on thin ice, and even couldn't help but have the idea of escaping, especially if they were in Lin Yi's position. Qi Wenhan had already said that as long as he could return safely, it would be fine even if he turned back halfway. Even if they had to turn back halfway, it would be fine. If it were anyone else, they would have already turned around without a care for anything else.
But Lin Yi didn't plan to do that at all. Even if he couldn't see what was going on in front of him, and he didn't know if he'd end up like the other ships, crashing into the rocks and destroying the ship, he was still calm and collected. It could even be said that he was unusually calm.
Lin Yi had absolute confidence in this. He couldn't judge the situation in front of him just by relying on his own perception, but don't forget that the jade pendant on him had a natural warning function. 100% accuracy!
In this situation, it was the best time to maximize the warning function of the jade pendant.
It didn't matter if he didn't know where the hidden reef was. I don't know if there is a whirlpool ahead, but it doesn't matter. I don't know where the Fixed Point Pirates are. But it didn't matter. As long as the jade pendant sounded its warning, they would immediately change course and adjust to a route that didn't have any warning. Naturally, everything would be fine, and they would be able to easily avoid all undetectable risks.
The warning function of the jade pendant was simply tailor-made for the current environment. With the help of such a powerful golden finger, Lin Yi was really relaxed and happy when he steered the ship.
If one looked down from mid-air through the layers of sea fog, they would see an extremely strange scene at this time. On the vast sea, there were wreckages everywhere, and on the sea in front of them, Sailboat No. 5 was constantly moving in all kinds of strange routes. One moment it was zigzagging, the next moment it was snake-like. In short, it didn't move in a straight line, but twisted.
However, it was precisely this strange and twisted route that allowed it to skillfully avoid all the hidden reefs, and even the giant whirlpools that appeared from time to time. The scene looked extremely dangerous and thrilling. Only Lin Yi, the ship's controller, felt very at ease.
This round of the competition was exactly as everyone had predicted. They hadn't even reached the halfway point, and the thirty-two escort agencies were almost completely wiped out. Wherever Lin Yi passed, he could see the wreckage of ships from time to time, as well as the strange carnivorous fish in the sea. As for the escorts, not even their corpses could be found. Not even their bones were left.
If it wasn't for the warning function of the jade pendant, even Lin Yi would probably follow in the footsteps of the others and be stuffed into the stomachs of these ferocious and bloodthirsty carnivorous fish. Of course, there was no such thing as' if 'in this world. If it really wasn't for the jade pendant, Lin Yi wouldn't have taken the initiative to fight.
"21 ships." Lin Yi silently calculated in his heart. This was the number of wreckages he had seen along the way, which meant that at least 21 escort agencies had been eliminated in this round of dangerous sailing. This was just what he could see. If he included the ones that he hadn't seen, the total number would probably be close to 30!
Such a high elimination rate was really outrageous. Moreover, Lin Yi also noticed that among the wreckages, there was no lack of high-ranking serial numbers, such as number 2. This meant that even the Divine Wind Escort Agency, a traditional aristocrat, had been defeated like the other escort agencies.
"Such a dangerous competition, no one should be able to complete it under normal circumstances. I wonder who designed it?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange.
This point struck him the most, not only because of the wreckages he had seen along the way, but also because of the route he had taken. In retrospect, it was strange no matter how he looked at it. The complexity and danger of this sea route was really far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Without the help of a golden finger like the jade pendant, not to mention the competition, even if they were to slowly explore it bit by bit, it would take at least a month's time before they could barely find a path. Otherwise, no matter how many people came, they would all die. In short, this was not a place that could be used for a competition.
As Lin Yi was muttering in his heart, suddenly after a turn, there was a sound that was different from the usual wind and waves not far ahead. Listening carefully, it was clearly a ship sailing swiftly in front of him!
Lin Yi couldn't help but be shocked. Who on earth was in front of him? There was actually an expert who could actually gallop on this kind of sea route? And from the sound of this speed, it wasn't slow at all!
Because of the sea fog, Lin Yi couldn't see the serial number of the ship in front of him, and even his Divine Sense was blocked. However, he could at least judge that it was definitely a participating ship in this competition. Otherwise, who would have nothing better to do and come to such a dangerous place to sail?
While Lin Yi was puzzled at the back, on the sailboat in front of him, a middle-aged man at the helm, also noticed the existence of Lin Yi at the same time!
