The Valiant Battalion
"What should we do now?"
Yan Long looked at Luo Zheng. He wasn't simple at all.
"Let's go to the Valiant Battalion first. We'll check on the two scouting ships and appease all the oarsmen."
Luo Zheng thought for a while and said with a smile.
The Valiant Battalion wasn't hard to find. It was a huge military camp in the south of the Pill Island.
There were five fleets in the Valiant Battalion. Now, there were only four complete fleets left.
After entering the military camp, Luo Zheng and the others were brought to the Valiant Battalion's tent.
The general of the Valiant Battalion was a first grade general at the peak of the Elemental Gathering Realm. When he learned that Luo Zheng and the others had come to take over the ships, he didn't have any objections.
After all, the ships that Luo Zheng and the others had taken over were almost completely destroyed. Their morale was low. Naturally, they were more than happy to have someone take over the hot potato.
A guard brought Luo Zheng and Yan Long to a barrack.
"Two Admirals, this is where the two scouting boats are stationed. Originally, each warship was equipped with a scouting boat, but this time, we were surrounded by demon beasts. Of the thirty-six scouting boats, only two managed to escape."
The guard called over a muscular middle-aged man, introduced him, and left.
This muscular middle-aged man was called Chen Shuo. He had stayed on the sea for a long time. His skin was black and his muscles were firm. He looked very refined. His cultivation base was at the Marrow Transformation Realm. He was also the leader of one of the scouting ships.
"Greetings, Lords."
Chen Shuo seemed to be a little slow. After bowing to Luo Zheng and Yan Long, he stood there and didn't say anything.
After looking at Chen Shuo for a while, Luo Zheng realized that this person wasn't slow. He was just too lazy to talk. He didn't care about the two of them at all.
"Hmph, it seems like this person is a veteran. He's not easy to deal with."
Luo Zheng calculated in his mind. However, his expression didn't change.
In fact, with Luo Zheng's cultivation base and strength, he didn't need any ships to hunt demonic beasts within a hundred thousand li of the Pill Island.
However, the demonic beasts around the Pill Island had been hunted down by the Jing Hai Army for so many years. Therefore, the number of demonic beasts around the Pill Island was extremely low. If they wanted to go out to the distant sea, they would need the support of the ships.
Whether it was flying in the air or hunting demonic beasts, they were all things that consumed a lot of Yuan Qi. Once the Yuan Qi was exhausted, there would be no ship to support them. If they encountered a powerful demonic beast in the vast sea, they would definitely die.
With the Heavenspan Sword Array, Luo Zheng could refine pills, spirit stones, and Yao Cores at an astonishing speed. Originally, he did not need to worry about this problem.
However, now that he lacked pills to replenish his vitality, he had no choice but to pay attention to it.
Before leaving the Five Saints Army, Luo Zheng exchanged the 3,000 military exploits he had obtained from the Seventh Prince and Zhao Peng, as well as the 1,000 military exploits he had obtained from passing the Heavenly Leopard Disciple exam, into a small Yuan Dan of low-class Dharma Level.
A small Yuan Dan required 100 military exploits. He had exchanged 40 small Yuan Dan in total. For other warriors, it would take a long time to refine them.
However, for Luo Zheng, they wouldn't be able to support him for long. The energy contained in one small Yuan Dan was equivalent to ten spirit stones.
Forty small Yuan Dan was equivalent to four hundred spirit stones. Therefore, he needed a ship.
Moreover, it wasn't easy to find demonic beasts worth hunting in the vast sea.
These explorers spent more time on the Southern Demon Sea than they did on land. They definitely knew where demonic beasts might appear and where demonic beasts might occupy the islands.
With these people, it would be a hundred times better than Luo Zheng exploring the sea by himself.
"Chen Shuo, how are the two exploration ships now? Take us to have a look first. "
Luo Zheng thought for a while and said.
"This time, the exploration ships are seriously damaged. At most, they can only display half of their original speed. Sirs, please follow me."
Chen Shuo said indifferently as he walked towards the seaside pier.
The exploration ship was 120 feet long. Each side had eight five-foot-long iron oars.
Moreover, the exploration ship was a mid-grade magical item. The sixteen iron oars were also low-grade magical items. Under the full power of the sixteen oars, the speed of the exploration ship could be imagined.
However, Luo Zheng and Yan Long saw that the two exploration ships had cracks on their hulls. Several of the iron oars were damaged and could no longer be used.
"Although these two exploration ships can still be used, the next time they encounter a demonic beast attack, I'm afraid they will break apart in a few hits."
Luo Zheng looked at the two ships indifferently as he calculated in his mind.
"Junior Brother Luo, are we going to rely on these two ships to hunt demonic beasts?" Yan Long looked at them and shook his head.
"Sirs, please forgive me for speaking the truth. None of our brothers will use these ships to go out to sea. The terror of the demonic beasts in the sea is unimaginable. The exploration ships can only observe the movements of demonic beasts. They cannot kill demonic beasts. "
Chen Shuo's expression changed when he heard this. "Moreover, the demonic beasts are not the only dangers. There are also ferocious pirates."
"Pirates?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.
"Yes. In the depths of the Southern Demon Sea, there are many huge islands where humans live. They have even built cities and countries. Naturally, there will be pirates. This time, the demonic beasts that besieged our fleet were probably deliberately lured here by the pirates. "
Chen Shuo said bitterly.
"So that's how it is." Luo Zheng muttered to himself.
The Southern Demon Sea was much more interesting than he had imagined.
