Chapter 58: Setting Sail, Attacked by Fish Monsters

"Is this the Beihai?"

Mengchen murmured, his expression flickering slightly; this was his first time seeing the ocean.

The ocean exuded a vast, terrifying aura that unsettled the mind, especially when the surging, wild waves rolled, stirring one's emotions.

By the shore, a group of people appeared one after another, all having emerged from the passage. Facing such a magnificent expanse of water, most were extremely composed, yet their hearts were already surging like the waves, unable to remain calm.

"This is the Beihai, the northernmost end of the Huangyu," a divine servant stepped forward to say.

The ocean rose and fell, vast and magnificent; as a wave rolled in, the sound of the surf was like thunder.

"The legends couldn't be true, could they? Are there really dragon palaces and sea gods in the sea?" The little bear child whispered.

"Silence! You are not allowed to mention those taboos by the sea, or you will invite a lethal disaster."

A divine servant rushed over and covered Little Bear's mouth, fearing his unrestrained speech would lead to something disastrous.

"Pah! It stinks, take your dirty hand away!"

After breaking free, Little Bear spat repeatedly.

In an instant, many divine servants surrounded him, all staring at Little Bear with solemn faces, their palms extended as if prepared to cover his mouth at any moment.

Suddenly, Little Bear and the group of divine servants stared at each other, not daring to speak further, terrified that those salty, dirty hands would come slapping onto his face.

Mengchen smiled lightly upon seeing this scene.

At this moment, the Heavenly Fox Maiden walked toward Little Bear, displaying an alluring grace, "Little brother, you really shouldn't talk nonsense here, or you'll truly get everyone killed."

"Hey! You fat woman, mind your own business!" Little Bear looked at the Heavenly Fox Maiden, and after looking her up and down, said with a savage expression.

"Is big sister fat?" The Tianhu Shaonü looked confused, and in doubt, lowered her head to look at her own exquisite figure.

In front of everyone, Little Bear pointed at the Heavenly Fox Maiden's buttocks and said, "Look at your big butt, it's so fat it's wiggling around, you can't even walk properly anymore, and you still say you're not fat?"

"Hahaha..." What Little Bear said immediately caused a roar of laughter.

"You..." The Tianhu Shaonü's pretty face flushed red, her teeth itching with anger.

She really hadn't checked the calendar before going out today; how did she end up meeting such weirdos?

"Hmph!" After a cold, indignant sound, the Tianhu Shaonü stomped her foot, turned around, and walked back to where Mengchen was.

Looking at the approaching Tianhu Shaonü, Mengchen smiled meaningfully, "What? These days, even a Fox Spirit can't seduce anyone?"

Heizi heard this and laughed loudly from the side, hahaha...

"You... forget it, big sister won't lower herself to your level, you stinky little brother." The Tianhu Shaonü was indignant; she crossed her arms and turned her head away, no longer facing them.

"Save it! Do you think I don't know your little schemes?" Mengchen said dismissively, "Are you trying to get close to Little Bear so he can save you?"

Upon hearing this, the Tianhu Shaonü looked back with a surprised expression, as if she had been found out.

Mengchen scolded lightly, "I'm telling you, don't even think about it. Just be a good maid to me! No one can save you."

"As if, this stinky little brother is just wronging big sister," the Tianhu Shaonü said with a playful pout.

Afterward, several old servants held ancient scrolls and, after some research on the beach, determined the target sea area. Then, a divine servant's palm glowed, and a small boat appeared.

The small boat flew out of his hand, instantly radiating the brilliance of a Rune, beginning to grow rapidly in the wind until it became magnificent, finally crashing onto the surface of the sea.

The divine servant formed a seal, and suddenly, the boat became resplendent with gold and jade, emitting an aura of divine auspiciousness that enveloped the entire hull.

"Set sail!"

Following the divine servant's loud shout, everyone boarded the large ship.

In an instant, the large ship broke through the waves and headed toward the depths of the ocean. Wrapped in the aura of divine auspiciousness, the ship smashed through layer after layer of towering waves.

This was a treasure ship; under the control of the divine servant, its speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had advanced hundreds of miles.

Afterward, having sailed another thousand miles, suddenly, thousands upon thousands of fish swarmed out from the sea, as if intending to crush the large ship.

Fortunately, the hull was wrapped in the aura of divine auspiciousness; as the swarms of thousands of fish rushed over, they all exploded and died on the spot upon hitting the divine glow.

In an instant, the sea surface turned blood-red, and everywhere they passed was covered in the corpses of fish, a white expanse on the blood-red sea, exceptionally bloody.

Seeing this scene, many people on the ship were shocked.

"What is going on with these fish? Why are they attacking us like moths to a flame?" A silver-haired youth asked; he was a prodigy from the Taigu Shenshan.

"Young Master, do not panic. I suspect we have intruded into their territory. These fish have low strength and not a shred of intelligence; they are merely driven by instinct to defend their territory. They are nothing to worry about."

A divine servant dressed in silver clothes replied. He belonged to the same clan as the silver-haired youth and had been arranged by a Venerable of the clan to protect and assist the silver-haired youth in seizing opportunities.

Aside from Mengchen and Little Bear, the group was basically configured this way, with the direct disciples of each clan accompanied by divine servants and a group of experts in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Subsequently, they traveled nearly another hundred miles, and the fish attacks ceased. Although the previous scene had not caused a major disturbance, the shocking sight still left people not daring to lower their guard.

Now that they had left the bloody area, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the large ship was struck and began to shake violently, nearly capsizing.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

Everyone looked horrified, not knowing what had occurred.

While Mengchen was holding Heizi tightly, he also grabbed the Tianhu Shaonü firmly.

"Look! What is that thing..." someone pointed at the sea and shouted.

They saw a silver dorsal fin appear in the ocean, terrifyingly huge, not at all inferior to the large ship.

It was what had just collided with the large ship.

"Boom!"

The next moment, lightning surged to the heavens; silver thunder erupted from the sea, instantly scattering the aura of divine auspiciousness. Then, the giant ship was directly blown to pieces, with electric arcs filling the air—extremely terrifying.

"Ah..."

Screams rang out immediately; swarms of people were struck by the silver electric arcs, then exploded and sank into the sea.

Mengchen stepped on the fragmented deck, leaping horizontally from time to time to dodge the terrifying electric arcs.

Just at this critical moment, a divine servant offered up a precious artifact, and instantly, Runes densely covered it, flickering with holy radiance to block all the electric bolts.

The next moment, another divine servant took action, offering up a piece of animal hide that rapidly enlarged and spread out, catching everyone else.

Hundreds of people, suddenly attacked, had more than half killed or injured, and those who survived were all basically wounded.

Mengchen held Heizi in his arms and pulled Heavenly Fox Maiden as they jumped onto the animal hide, followed by Little Bear who also jumped over, the golden-haired monkey on his shoulder clutching his hair tips tightly.

They were completely unscathed and had not suffered any harm.

"What kind of creature are you, and why do you attack us?"

A divine servant shouted coldly toward the surface of the sea.

Its entire body was silver-white with electric arcs flickering; it looked like a large fish but lacked scales, and it grew a pair of ox horns on its head.

"I loathe you land creatures; you must all die," the silver giant fish roared.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, thunder crashed down, resembling a vast ocean, a sheet of white.

"Bang!"

Several divine servants joined forces to block this strike from it.

"Hmph! You killed so many of our people; we will not coexist with you."

A divine servant was furious; the young master and clan disciples they were escorting had suffered heavy casualties, and they would certainly be unable to answer to the Venerable of the clan upon returning.

To vent their anger, the group of divine servants attacked together regardless of the cost; in an instant, brilliant Runes of various colors shone, covering the entire sea surface.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The bombardment of precious light stirred up thousand-layer giant waves, and the battle was exceptionally intense.

In the end, a massive pool of blood remained on the sea surface, gradually spreading.

Under the siege of the divine servants, the fish monster was wounded and fled.

"Hmph! If you have the ability, come back!" a divine servant roared in anger.

"Truly detestable, to actually let this beast escape."
