Lin Yi shook his head,"what I mean is, if the sea beasts know how to retreat on their own, then maybe there's really someone behind this. Otherwise, some of these sea beasts would definitely try to attack the fleet and only run away when they realize they can't win. They might not even run to the deep sea. They might just run around in circles with the fleet."
Ao Tianba was slightly stunned. He frowned and said,""Brother Lin, you're right. If that's the case, it'll be more troublesome. However, the wisdom of these sea beasts isn't much worse than that of those old cunning guys. If there's only one or two of them, they won't take the initiative to provoke us. It's possible that they'll go around in circles."
"No matter what, let's go out and take a look! If we don't solve the problem of the sea beasts, we won't be able to rest easy even if we participate in the auction!" Lin Yi said with a smile. He was thinking if he should contact LAN Guzha and ask him to pay attention to the movements of the sea beasts.
After the ancient warship sailed out of the dock, it immediately met up with the three medium-sized warships that were already waiting at the periphery. They braved the wind and waves and began their patrol around the island. As expected, those sea beasts did not actively provoke the fleet. They immediately turned around and avoided them when they saw them from afar. Some fled into the deep sea outside, while some accelerated to escape. They were indeed playing a game of circles with the fleet.
Lin Yi and ao Tianba weren't sure if this was a planned operation or if it was just a coincidence.
He looked at the one-third of the island ring and turned to ao Tianba,"Brother ao Tian, let the three warships behind us turn around and advance in the other direction!"
Ao Tianba's eyes flashed and he laughed,""That's exactly what I want! Younger brother Lin is indeed a man who is suitable to adventure on the sea. It's such a pity that you're not with this elder brother!"
Lin Yi smiled faintly."Maybe there will be a chance in the future. Brother ao Tian, you should focus on developing your fleet first. Who knows, one day I might be the real Captain of your fleet!"
"Hahaha, it's a deal then. This elder brother will wait for your arrival!" Ao Tianba laughed heartily, then turned around and ordered,""Order the warships on the northernmost Island to turn around and advance from the other side. We'll launch a joint attack and kill all the sea beasts that don't want to leave this Sea area!"
"Yes!" The crew member in charge of passing the order immediately ran out and sent orders to the fleet behind.
It was the best choice for them to turn around at this distance. The distance they had just arrived was an empty area of the sea beasts. It was not easy for the sea beasts that had fled to the deep sea to come back. After all, the restriction on the northernmost Island would still be somewhat affected.
Therefore, at least one-third of the distance between the three medium-sized warships would not encounter any sea beasts. After they left the three medium-sized warships, the speed of the ancient warship would increase, and the efficiency of chasing after the sea beasts would immediately become apparent.
When the three warships crossed the starting line, the ancient warship would be able to complete about three-quarters of the remaining two-thirds of the journey. The last part of the journey would be the distance that the three medium-sized warships and the ancient warship would have to cover!
As long as the sea beasts did not escape to the deep sea, they would be torn apart by the cannons of the battleships. By then, they would be able to determine whether the sea beasts had any plans.
After the three ships left, Lin Yi told ao Tianba that he was looking for LAN Guzha. He went to the deck alone and spread out his spirit sense, looking for LAN Guzha.
The communication bead indicated that LAN Guzha was nearby, and Lin Yi guessed that he could find his position. As expected, this guy was hiding in the deep water under the ancient battleship. He didn't know how he got past the surveillance formation, but at such a close distance, if he was discovered by the people on the ship, they would definitely fire a shot at him without hesitation.
"LAN Guzha, hurry up and come up!" Lin Yi used his Qi to wrap the communication bead up and put it in the water. He put it back after shouting.
After LAN Guzha heard Lin Yi's call, he didn't say anything and immediately shot into the sky. Of course, when he left the water, he transformed into his human form. His clothes were still the casual style of the secular world, not a drop of water on them. They were preserved in perfect condition.
After greeting ao Tianba, the people on the ship naturally would not attack LAN Guzha. However, even if they did, LAN Guzha would not care.
Other than the Starfall formation, LAN Guzha could still take a hit or two from the other cannons. With Lin Yi on the ship, it would be a waste of his honorary vice-captain status if he couldn't make them stop after one or two hits.
"Boss! I can finally be by your side again! I've missed you so much!" LAN Guzha lunged at Lin Yi with an exaggerated expression, but Lin Yi dodged him with a light step.
"Don't give me that. Do you want to eat to death?" Lin Yi exposed LAN Guzha's thoughts without holding back. This glutton put at least 80% of his attention on food, and the other 20% was on handsome clothes and beating people up ...
LAN Guzha did not argue but laughed out loud,"Boss knows me best. Is there any good food on this ship? I'm starving, let me eat first!"
Lin Yi didn't want to waste time with this guy and asked directly, "How's the thing I told you to do? Is there any new situation?"
LAN Guzha did not dare to dally at the mention of serious matters. He quickly shook his head and said,"Boss, I didn't find any new situation. There are no more powerful sea beasts nearby. After your warship came out, half of the original ones also fled. Now, there are a lot fewer sea beasts near the northernmost Island."
Lin Yi frowned,"how did these sea beasts get here?" You're a king of the sea beasts, haven't you heard anything?"
After a slight pause, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that LAN Guzha was also at the peak of Mystic Ascension. The restrictions of the northernmost Island should have had an effect on him, but why didn't this guy seem to be affected at all?
"LAN Guzha, don't you feel anything amiss when you're approaching the northernmost Island?" Lin Yi asked curiously. He didn't know how wide the area of the restriction was, but LAN Guzha was already close to the coast. He must be within the range.
LAN Guzha thought for a moment before he nodded,"I think so. The closer I get to the northernmost Island, the weaker my strength seems to be. I have a feeling that I can't get close when I'm a hundred miles away from the northernmost Island, but Who am I? I'm lan Guzha from the royal family of the sea beasts! I easily broke through that obstruction and came to the northernmost Island to find you, boss. "
