The sea looked very calm, there weren't any waves. However, below the surface of the sea, there were countless fishes swimming forward. On the back of each sea beast was a humanoid creature. Some of the bigger sea beasts had humanoid creatures lying on their backs. These humanoid creatures were Ghost Face's monsters.
These monsters were lying on the backs of the sea beasts as they moved forward. It seems like this wasn't the first time they did this, they were very familiar with it.
At this time, these monsters were patrolling the waters of the Thick Earth Continent. They didn't want to attack the Thick Earth Continent, it wasn't the time to do so.
This time, they patrolled the waters of the Thick Earth Continent in order to find the sword that the sea beasts saw before. The people on the sword said that they were from the Mixed Spirit Continent, but there was no one there. It was clear that they were lying. Because of this, the monsters thought that the sword came from the Thick Earth Continent and not the Tree Spirit Continent. They had already scouted the Tree Spirit Continent and found nothing there.
These monsters have been in the sea for three days now. Every day, they would send a group of people to patrol the area, but they still didn't find anything.
At this time, the sea beast at the front suddenly stopped, then all the other sea beasts stopped as well. The other sea beasts also looked up. Although they didn't need to use their eyes to observe, they still looked up. This might be a conditioned reflex of them as humans.
Not far in front of them, a large sword was moving forward. The speed of the sword wasn't very fast, but it was very big, even bigger than their warships. This was especially true for the eight chains on the back of the sword. Each chain was longer than the sword itself. The barbs on the chains were also very shocking.
When the monsters saw the sword, they immediately knew that they had found their target. However, they didn't immediately attack the sword. Some of the sea beasts that weren't carrying people immediately turned around and swam back. They wanted to send this information back to the ship as soon as possible. The other sea beasts followed the sword as if they were afraid that it would run away.
But at this time, the sword suddenly sped up. At the same time, the eight chains on the back of the sword swung towards the sea beasts.
The sea beasts didn't expect the sword to find them. They immediately wanted to hide. However, the speed of the chains behind the sword was very fast. Some of the agile sea beasts were able to dodge the chains, but some couldn't. All of the sea beasts that couldn't dodge were killed on the spot. Even the sea beasts that were hit by the chains lost a piece of their flesh. The barbs on the chains weren't just for show.
After being attacked by the chains, the sea beasts knew that they had been found. Therefore, they immediately began to counterattack. The monsters on the backs of the sea beasts also began to counterattack. The sea beasts used water spells to attack the sword. At the same time, the monsters on the backs of the sea beasts released blood red energy towards the sword.
However, a blue shield immediately lit up on the sword and blocked the energy attack. At the same time, the eight chains attacked a second time.
In an instant, the sea began to boil. From time to time, sea beasts would jump out of the sea and fall back into the water. At the same time, the chains on the back of the sword would also jump out of the sea and fall back into the water. At the same time, blood began to flow out of the sea, dyeing the water red.
The place where the sea beasts and the sword fought wasn't the distant sea, but rather the sea of the Thick Earth Continent. Since the war didn't happen in the Thick Earth Continent, they also knew that the continent's situation wasn't good. Therefore, they arranged a lot of warships to patrol their waters.
Now that there was such a big movement here, it was impossible for them not to know. Therefore, the Thick Earth Continent's warships quickly arrived. However, they were all frightened by the situation in the sea. The warships circled around the periphery of the sea, not daring to enter.
Tang Lide was the commander of the fleet in this area. He was 50 years old and had a tall stature. However, his skin was dark. At first glance, one would think that he was someone who was exposed to the wind and the sun all year round.
This is indeed the case, Tang Lide became a Marine in his twenties. Until now, he has become the commander of a fleet. For more than 30 years, he has always been a Marine, spending more than half of the year at sea.
Tang Lide looked at the situation in the sea, then he turned to the people around him and said, "Pass the flag signal. Have all the warships retreat and leave this area. Choose five people who are the best at swimming and have them sail their boats into the sea. Then dive into the water and see what's going on."
The people around Tang Lide immediately nodded and went to pass the order. Before long, someone on his warship sent out a flag signal. Then the flag signal was sent out by the other warships. Then the flag signal was passed down bit by bit.
When all the warships received the order, they immediately lowered the boats. Then several soldiers who were good at swimming boarded the boats and rowed them towards the sea. After arriving at the sea, one person was left outside the boats while the other four jumped into the sea. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up as he looked at Zhao Hai's eyes.
After these people entered the sea, they immediately dived down. At the same time, they also observed the situation underwater. It didn't take long before these people discovered the battle between the Great Sword and the sea beasts.
At the same time, the sea beasts and monsters also discovered these people. They immediately attacked. These people wanted to run, but how could they outrun the sea beasts? Many people were bitten to death. Naturally, there were also people who escaped to the surface and boarded their boats. Then they followed the people on the boats and rowed away.
When these people returned to the warship, they immediately reported what they saw to their captains. Their captains also immediately reported this news to their superiors.
Actually, Tang Lide already knew what was happening underwater. He was currently listening to the people on his ship. After the person finished speaking, Tang Lide looked at him and said, "You mean to say that there's a huge battle going on underwater? A huge Great Sword is fighting with sea beasts and some blood-red monsters?"
The person immediately replied, "Yes, General. The Great Sword is really huge. It's as long as a hundred people. Behind the Great Sword, there are also some tentacles. These tentacles are barbed iron chains. Their attack power is very formidable. The ones besieging the Great Sword are sea beasts and blood-red monsters. They're just like the demon-faced monsters we heard about before."
Tang Lide's expression turned gloomy, then he said, "Alright, you can leave." Then he waved his hand and the person was taken away.
After the person left, Tang Lide immediately opened his mouth and said, "Pass the order. Withdraw from this area and immediately turn back. Set up a defensive line 30 nautical miles away from here." After the order was passed down, the fleet immediately turned around and sailed for 30 nautical miles. Tang Lide left half of the warships here to establish a defensive line while the other warships went back. After another 30 nautical miles, another route was established. Then Tang Lide sent five ships back to the mainland and immediately reported the news.
Tang Lide's preparations weren't useful at all. The battle under the sea was still going on. The attacks of the sea beasts were very fierce. Moreover, as the battle dragged on, the sea beasts discovered the Great Sword's weakness. That is, it wasn't very flexible in the sea. Most of its attacks were done by the iron chains below. Now that they have found a way to deal with the Great Sword, the Great Sword was being attacked more and more.
Tang Lide was currently in the second defensive line, writing a letter in his room. For Tang Lide, what happened today had a great impact on him. In Tang Lide's opinion, the greatsword was a product of the Spirit Realm. This was because the Five Spirit Realms simply didn't have the ability to make such a weapon. As for why the greatsword fought against the sea beasts and the Ghost Face, Tang Lide didn't know. However, in his opinion, this meant that the Ghost Face and the Spirit Realm had already set their sights on the Thick Earth Continent. If they can't find a good way to monitor the Ghost Face and the Spirit Realm, then their coastal cities would be attacked at any time. Tang Lide didn't know why the Ghost Face and the Spirit Realm fought. But in his opinion, this meant that the Ghost Face and the Spirit Realm had already set their sights on the Thick Earth Continent.
Whether it was the Great Sword or the sea beasts, they could move underwater. Moreover, the Ghost Mask's monsters could also move underwater. This was very dangerous. The warships could only see the situation above the sea, not underwater. In other words, whether it was the Spirit Realm or the Ghost Mask, they could silently approach the coastline of the Thick Earth Continent and attack the coastal cities.
Thinking about this made Tang Lide's heart heavy. He was very clear about the situation in the Five Spiritual Realms. If this matter isn't dealt with properly, then the Thick Earth Continent would be in trouble. This was especially true for the coastal cities. They would be in danger at any time. This was very frightening.
While Tang Lide was writing a letter, Zhao Hai and Ding Chunming were inside a cave near the coast of the Thick Earth Continent. At the same time, Zhao Hai commanded the Great Sword to fight.
Ding Chunming was also watching the battle with a nervous expression. Although he knew that the Great Sword was only a defensive artifact, he was still very nervous. This was because the Ghost Mask was his enemy. Naturally, he hoped that Zhao Hai would be able to control the Great Sword and cause more damage to the Ghost Mask's people.
Zhao Hai didn't care about this matter. He knew that the Great Sword could cause some damage to the Ghost Mask's people, but it wouldn't cause too much damage. The reason why he wanted to fight here was to let the people of the Thick Earth Continent know that the Ghost Mask's people can attack underwater. This would make the people of the Thick Earth Continent think that the Ghost Mask and the Spirit Realm had given up on the Thick Earth Continent.
