Rays of light shone down from the sky, and blue waves rolled on the sea, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The three large ships sailed on the sea, and the horizon in the distance seemed to have no end.
This was He Yiming's second time leaving the mainland, but it was different from the last time. This time, there were many people traveling with him, and they were not going to the East China Sea, but the south of the mainland.
Compared to the East China Sea, there were more islands in the south. After sailing for several days, they had seen countless islands of various sizes.
All of a sudden, the sailors on the ship's observation deck let out a stern shout while waving their flags with all their might.
In just a moment, the three large ships were shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
After hearing the commotion, He Yiming and the others could no longer sit in the cabin peacefully. Even the bored White Horse Lightning and Baozhu came out to join in the fun.
Seeing that the Venerables on the ship were alarmed, a big man with a long beard immediately ran over and said respectfully, "Great Venerable He, Venerable Jin, Venerable Wei, we have encountered a little accident."
This big man was also a disciple of the Divine Wind Palace. His name was Chu Mu, and he was a disciple of the Acquired Stage Nine Internal Strength Realm who was responsible for running the Southern Sea Road. In the South China Sea, he was already familiar with it. This time, the Divine Wind Palace assigned him to be in charge of guarding the ship, and it was the most appropriate arrangement.
Jin Zhanzheng looked into the distance. As far as his eyes could see, the sea was surging, as if there was something under the sea, setting off countless huge waves in this area.
"What is that?" Jin Zhanzheng asked in a deep voice.
Although his experience at sea was not as rich as the other party, it was not his first time at sea. However, it was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Wei Zongjin looked for a while, and his face changed, "South China Sea Silver Eel?"
Chu Mu nodded heavily and said, "Venerable Wei's eyes are like lightning. That is indeed a South China Sea Silver Eel, but according to my observation, it is not just one South China Sea Silver Eel, but at least a thousand of them."
Wei Zongjin sucked in a breath of cold air, and his expression turned ugly.
He Yiming looked at them silently. He found that when Jin Zhanzheng heard the name of the Southern Sea silver eel, his face was also a little surprised. It was evident that the Venerable Ones were fearful of the creature's mightiness.
"Brother Jin, what is a South Sea Silver Eel?"
Jin Zhanzheng thought for a moment and said, "The South Sea Silver Eel is a unique sea creature in the South Sea region. They are the number one killer in the sea and have great power. When an ordinary silver eel swims in the ocean, even ordinary marine spirit beasts don't dare to provoke it. "
He Yiming's heart trembled. "Aren't these Silver Eels spirit beasts?"
In the natural world, there was a huge gap in strength between spirit beasts and ordinary creatures. It was just like the gap between an ordinary cultivator and an Innate Master. There was no comparison at all.
Under special circumstances, a Stage Nine Internal Force Cultivator might be able to challenge a Stage Ten Internal Force Cultivator.
However, even if there were ten Inner Force Stage Ten cultivators, they would not be able to defeat an Innate Master. The difference between their levels was vividly displayed on their bodies.
It was the same for spirit beasts and ordinary creatures in the natural world. If an ordinary silver eel could make spirit beasts in the sea retreat, it would completely subvert He Yiming's understanding.
Jin Zhanzheng smiled bitterly and said, "Chu Mu, I don't know much about silver eels. You tell me."
Chu Mu bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Great Venerable He. There are also spirit beasts among the South Sea Silver Eels. There are even Holy Beasts. However, most of them are ordinary sea creatures."
He Yiming frowned slightly and said, "Since they are ordinary sea creatures, why are spirit beasts afraid of them?"
Chu Mu's expression became even more respectful. In front of the most powerful guest Great Venerable in the Grand Divine Wind Palace, it would not be too much for him to be cautious.
"Great Venerable, these silver eels have a special ability. They can release a powerful electric force. Anyone who is hit by the electric force, regardless of whether they are spirit beasts or not, will be injured." Chu Mu paused and said, "The sea is rich in species, far more than the continent. The spirit beasts in the sea are also very powerful. They never have to worry about food. Therefore, not many spirit beasts will provoke these silver eels, which are not to be trifled with. "
He Yiming nodded slowly. It seemed that the spirit beasts in the sea were very smart. They would not do things that were strenuous and unrewarding.
He glanced at the sea and said in surprise, "You're changing your course?"
Changing the course in the sea was a very dangerous thing. No one would do it unless they were forced to.
Chu Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Great Venerable, since there are silver eels in front of us, our ship can't pass through no matter what. Therefore, we can only change our course and hope to go around them."
He Yiming pondered and asked, "Do these silver eels often gather together like this?"
Chu Mu shook his head and said, "Silver eels are overlord creatures in the sea. Most of the time, they live alone. This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this." When he said that, he seemed to have thought of something, and he immediately shut his mouth.
He Yiming and the others were sharp-eyed, so they could tell at once that he was hiding something.
Jin Zhanzheng scoffed and said, "Chu Mu, if you have something to say, just say it."
Chu Mu complained in his heart. However, the people in front of him were all big shots in the sect. He didn't dare to offend any of them. He quickly said, "Venerable Jin, according to the older generation, if a large number of silver eels gather together, then it means the birth of a king in this sea region. These silver eels came from afar to worship."
Jin Zhanzheng's eyes lit up. "Sacred Silver Eel Beast?"
Chu Mu replied respectfully and then lowered his head. However, he prayed in his heart that these big shots would not act on a whim and kill the Silver Eel Sacred Beast. Otherwise, their three boats would not be able to withstand such a torment.
Jin Zhanzheng and Wei Zongjin looked at each other. They could see the interest in each other's eyes. However, it was only for a moment before they gave up on the idea.
Jin Zhanzheng sighed and said, "It'll be great if there's only one sacred silver eel beast."
Wei Zongjin also nodded and said, "The power of Lightning released by thousands of eels is too great. Even Ninth Heaven, who's at the peak of humanity, will have to retreat."
He Yiming looked back and saw the White Horse Lightning standing proudly with a look of disdain.
However, after looking into the distance, He Yiming eventually gave up on the idea of killing them.
It was obvious that the eels were not to be trifled with. Moreover, there was a sacred beast-level king among them. Even if they joined forces, they might not be able to win.
Moreover, it was not easy for these marine creatures to grow. Less than one in a million could advance to sacred beasts. As long as they did not provoke them, they would just turn a blind eye to them.
The ships had turned around and slowly sailed into the distance. Many sailors on the ships carefully observed the surging blue waves in the distance. It was not until they were far away that they cheered in unison.
As people who lived at sea all year round, they knew very well how powerful the eels were.
If there was only one eel, given the scale of the three ships, they would not have to be afraid of anything. However, if they encountered a group of eels, which was rarely seen in a hundred years, it would be extremely terrifying.
As Wei Zongjin said, with so many eels together, even a powerhouse at the peak of humanity would not go forward to ask for a snub.
After staying far away, the three ships began to turn again. They wanted to return to the sea route and set off toward the largest island in the southern border, Colored Glass Island.
However, less than an hour later, a sailor on the observation deck cried out miserably.
The cry alarmed everyone once more. When He Yiming slowly arrived on the deck, he noticed that everyone's faces had become extremely unsightly.
He looked in the direction of everyone's attention in surprise. He saw that behind the three ships, there was a blue wave surging, accompanied by streaks of silver lightning.
His heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "South Sea Silver Eels?"
Chu Mu's face was completely pale. He said, "Great Venerable One, it's those eels that're chasing after us."
He Yiming found it strange. He asked, "We didn't provoke them, so why are they chasing after us?"
Chu Mu laughed bitterly and said, "Perhaps it's because we witnessed their worship ceremony, so they want to use us as sacrificial offerings."
He Yiming looked at him unhappily. 'Those eels aren't humans, so why are you talking about rituals and sacrifices?'
That said, when he glanced at the White Horse Lightning and Baozhu, he changed his mind.
Since Lei Dian and Treasure Pig were both extremely intelligent and not the slightest bit inferior to humans, then it seemed quite normal for these creatures in the sea to be a little smarter.
Jin Zhanzheng scoffed angrily. "We didn't provoke those eels, but they came to us to bully us instead." He sounded furious, but he was also helpless at the same time.
If these silver eels really destroyed the three ships, apart from the Venerable Ones, the rest of them would probably be eaten by the eels.
Chu Mu's expression slowly calmed down. He took a deep breath and suddenly turned around. Like an ape, he climbed up the watchtower.
He took a signal flag and waved it in the air as if he was conveying an order.
After a brief moment, the signal flags on the other 2 ships also began to be waved at the same time. That said, both sides had different meanings this time, and there seemed to be a dispute.
Chu Mu suddenly raised his voice and roared, "The Divine Wind Palace's rules are here. Those who don't obey will be beheaded immediately, and their parents and disciples will be expelled from the sect."
His voice spread far and wide on the surface of the sea, and it was as loud as thunder.
After remaining silent for a while, the two ships finally chose to obey the order.
Chu Mu slid down the observation deck like a spiritual monkey and arrived in front of the Venerable Ones. He said in a deep voice, "Venerable Ones, please move. They'll bring you to Colored Glass Island."
