Blue Silver Grass Guide

Douluo calendar year 2626, summer.

The sky is blue, the sun is bright, and the breeze is gentle, bringing a strong ocean atmosphere.

"Nanhu City" is the southernmost point of [Xingluo Empire] and the southernmost point of Douluo Continent.

Just like the "Hanhai City" on the western border of the "Tian Dou Empire", standing on the city wall of "Nanhu City" and looking at the vast blue waves in the clear sky will make one's mind infinitely broadened, as if there are no worries in this world.

"When I saw the sea for the first time, I, like you, had great pride in my heart."

Zi Yaoshi's eyes reflected the distance where water and sky met, and he said lightly.

Mo Yuxiong retracted his gaze from the sea, looked at Zi Yaoshi beside him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What about now?"

"Now?" Zi Yaoshi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced back at Mo Yuxiong, then looked at the endless sea, and said in a complicated tone: "If I have a choice, I still prefer to stay on land."

Hearing this, Mo Yuxiong became interested: "Oh? Tell me?"

"Master Ling said something that I think is particularly suitable to be placed in the sea." Zi Yaoshi looked at the sea and said quietly: "Manpower is sometimes poor. In front of the vast world, human beings are as small as dust."

"It looks beautiful to be sailing along the blue waves, but there are unpredictable weather conditions. Not to mention losing the course, there are only storms, tsunamis, and undercurrents on the sea... each of which is enough to swallow a ship over 100 meters tall."

"In addition to these powerful forces of heaven and earth, there are also sea soul beasts lurking in the deep sea. The offshore area is fine. Once you enter the deep sea area, sea soul beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation are not uncommon. If you have a titled Douluo, you may be trapped in it. There……"

After listening to Zi Yaoshi's words, Mo Yuxiong was about to say something when he suddenly saw a group of people in the corner of his eye. He immediately became energetic and quickly turned his attention away.

"It's the City Lord! The City Lord and the others are here -!"

Zi Yaoshi followed Mo Yuxiong's gaze and saw Ling Yi riding a dark horse with white hooves, galloping towards "Nanhu City" at the lead.

Behind Ling Yi, more than ten riders followed closely, either in high spirits or with extraordinary demeanor, which was impressive.

…

About half an hour later, the city lord's palace in "Nanhu City".

City Lord Yun Buyu personally led the crowd to a spacious and bright hall, and said to the leader Ling Yi with respect: "Master Ling, what do you think of this place?"

"It's very good here~" Ling Yi had a friendly smile on his face, nodded to Yun Buyu, and said: "Please, Lord Yun, please worry about it."

"Where is it~" Yun Buyu waved his hand quickly, then pointed to the tables and chairs in front of him, and said politely again: "Master Ling, Chen Xin crown, and all the seniors and friends, let's sit down first, sit down explain……"

I saw Yun Buyu greeting Ling Yi and others to sit down respectively, and loudly ordering to the attendants waiting outside the hall: "Who, why don't you go and prepare tea——!"

After a while, everyone sat down separately. Under Yun Buyu's strong request, Ling Yi took the main seat. 'Sword Douluo' Chen Xin sat first on Ling Yi's right hand side, followed by Dugu Bo, Gu Rong, Mo Yuxiong, Gu Ying, Mo Yuan, Yunlan, and Yun Buyu, the city lord of "Nanhu City", were sitting on Ling Yi's left hand side, opposite Chen Xin's seat, with only one person behind him. It is Zi Yao Shi.

Ling Yi first looked around, scanning everyone present. Finally, his eyes paused on Gu Rong's withered, skeleton-like face. He noticed the other person's unconscious lips, knowing that Gu Rong was anxious at the moment. Without wasting any time, he asked Zi Yaoshi: "Captain Zi, I'm sorry to trouble you during this time. Can you tell me how the progress is now?"

"Master Ling, you're welcome~" Zi Yao Shi stood up and said respectfully to Ling Yi: "It is my Zi Yao Shi's honor to be able to work for Master Ling and [Ling Yun City]!"

After a pause, Zi Yaoshi organized some words in his mind, and then said: "Master Ling, everyone, after a year of hard work by the masters of the 'Tiangong Group', the "Ling Yun" was completed last month and launched into the water. After that, I led the brothers of the "Viper Group" to conduct a trial sailing in the offshore area around "Nanhu City". After reporting some minor problems discovered during the sailing to Master Zhang Youyou, all have been debugged and resolved, and now you can set sail at any time! "

"In addition, the route to the "Star-Moon Islands" has been explored over the next year. It is not a deep sea area. Except for the seven thousand-year-old sea soul beast gathering areas along the way, there is basically no danger. I can guarantee the round trip. Safe sailing!”

"Okay!" Ling Yi smiled while stroking his hands, looking at Zi Yaoshi with admiration in his eyes, and asked: "Then, according to Captain Yi Zi, when should we set off?"

"anytime!"

Hearing Ling Yi's inquiry, Zi Yaoshi replied without thinking: "According to the records of previous years and the observations this year, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no extreme events in the sea here in the next month. Weather phenomena are relatively safe.”

"Then two days later," Ling Yi nodded and said, "Take a short break today, and then prepare the corresponding supplies. Captain Zi, you are more experienced in this area, so you will have to worry more about it next. "

"Yes!" Zi Yaoshi subconsciously stood up straight and responded loudly.

…

Two days later, the sun rose.

Accompanied personally by Yun Buyu, the city lord of "Nanhu City", a group of people from "Lingyun City" headed by Ling Yi left the city from the south gate and followed the specially built reef road outside the city to arrive at the dock of "Nanhu City".

Compared with the "Hanhai City" of the "Tian Dou Empire", the original docks of "Nanhu City" were much smaller, but in recent years, with the funding of the "Aoki Chamber of Commerce", the former seven docks have been expanded to the current one. Eighteen, and construction of new piers continues.

As the southernmost seaport city in the Douluo Continent, "Nanhu City" has now become a maritime trade anchorage second only to "Hanhai City", and its financial benefits are enough to make even the [Star Luo Empire] royal family jealous and coveted.

Different from the sea area of ​​"Hanhai City" that has been developed for hundreds of thousands of years, the sea area of ​​"Nanhu City" is like an undeveloped virgin land. Not only the marine resources are more abundant, but also different from that of the west coast. many South China Sea specialties.

The group arrived at Pier 8 and boarded a brand new ship under the guidance of Zi Yaoshi. The hull is nearly two hundred meters long from front to back. The entire hull is painted iron-colored and looks extremely strong. According to Zi Yao Shi's introduction, painting the hull in iron color can prevent sea soul beasts from attacking as much as possible.

"Master Ling," Zi Yaoshi introduced to Ling Yi and others while leading the way: "The outer layer of the "Ling Yun" hull is covered with a new type of alloy. It is not only as strong as an armored ship, it is also very light, and its basic speed is far faster than that of an armored ship. With a large sailboat of the same specifications, plus the various soul guide arrays depicted, I dare say that even if we are faced with a ten thousand year sea soul beast, we can escape unscathed..."

Boarding the spacious deck of the "Ling Yun", more than a hundred strong sailors wearing fish skin suits and short lapels were lined up waiting for inspection.

Less than half of these people come from the [Viper Pirates Group] in [Hanhai City], which are Zi Yaoshi's former subordinates. They all have relatively clean hands. The rest are recruited in [Hanhai City]. There are also locals from "Nanhu City" who jointly formed the "Viper Group", a maritime escort team affiliated with the "Aoki Chamber of Commerce".

After a brief introduction to the first mate, second mate, boatswain and many crew members, everyone returned to their posts and performed their duties.

"Draw anchor and set sail—!"

Following Zi Yaoshi's order, the behemoth docked at the dock began to slowly start and head towards the sea.

On the bow of the ship, Ling Yi stood facing the wind. Behind him, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo stared at the endless sea ahead.

This time we go to sea, our destination is the Star-Moon Islands, and our target is the 80,000-year-old sea soul beast, the "Escape Whale", which is about to appear there.

"Old Bones, this time for you, the whole [Lingyun City] has gone through a lot of effort," Chen Xin said, a strand of black hair flying on his temples, he looked sideways at Gu Rong beside him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How's it going? Have you been moved?”

Gu Rong, Wuhun Bone Dragon, ninety-level eight-ring soul Douluo!

"What? Are you envious?" Although Gu Rong was excited, she was not used to Chen Xin. She tilted her head and glanced at him: "I heard that when Uncle Jun hunted for the ninth soul ring for you, you old boy held back. , and suffered a lot?”

"Tsk!" Chen Xin was awakened by the unpleasant memory of that time in the Wandering Grand Canyon. He curled his lips and said no more.

Dugu Bo looked at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who were facing each other tit for tat, with an expression on their faces as if they were just enjoying the fun. However, after a few words, the two men calmed down, which made him quite bored.

Shaking his head, Dugu Bo seemed to remember something and asked Ling Yi: "A Yi, this time the target has spatial attributes, and the cultivation level is so high, how sure are you of success?"

Ling Yi turned around when he heard the sound and looked at Dugu Bo. At the same time, he glanced at Gu Rong and Chen Xin, who were both looking at him. He thought for a moment and said, "About fifty percent~"

"Fifty percent?!" Dugu Bo looked surprised. He really didn't expect this success rate.

Also unexpected was Chen Xin beside him. Xian Gu Rong spoke up and asked: "No, A Yi, is the 50% a little low?"

Although he usually quarreled with Gu Rong, now he didn't want to return without success.

On the other hand, Gu Rong, who was the party involved, acted quite calmly at this moment, quietly waiting for Ling Yi's next words.

Ling Yi spread his hands towards Chen Xin and said with a smile: "There is no way, no one can say for sure whether the "Escape Whale" will appear in the "Xingyue Islands" on time. "

"After all, it didn't appear every time in previous years."

"If it doesn't show up this time, no matter how carefully we prepare, there will be nothing we can do~"

"Then what if it shows up?" Gu Rong asked subconsciously.

In response, Ling Yi shrugged and replied: "If you show up, the probability of successfully winning is almost 98%."

"Hey! It turns out it's such a 50% ratio -" Chen Xin heard this and shook his head indifferently.

Behind, lookout.

Zi Yaoshi glanced at the four big guys standing at the bow of the ship, turned to Mo Yuxiong beside him and asked in a low voice: "Old Mo, didn't Master Ling invite the Seven Killers to come up this time?"

Mo Yuxiong heard the sound and looked at Zi Yaoshi. After a second thought, he understood the underlying meaning of the other party's words. After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't worry, since the Lord of the City has arranged this, he has his reasons."

"Okay~"

Now that things have come to this, what else can Zi Yao Shi say besides believing.

On the first day of sailing at sea, the sun rose and set without any disturbance.

On the third day of the sea voyage, passing through the first gathering area of ​​thousand-year-old sea soul beasts, Zi Yaoshi led the "Viper Group" to repel the group of sea soul beasts that came to attack.

On the fifth day of the sea voyage, we passed through the second thousand-year-old sea soul beast gathering area... The seventh day... The ninth day...

When the time came to the twelfth day, on the observation deck of the "Ling Yun", an intermittent coastline appeared in the sight of the observer.

"Star and Moon Islands" have arrived.

In the captain's room, Ling Yi and others gathered after receiving the news.

"Ayi, what should we do next?" Chen Xin glanced at Gu Rong beside him and asked Ling Yi.

"Don't worry~" Ling Yi gave Chen Xin a calm look, looked at Zi Yaoshi aside, and asked: "Captain Zi, when you came here to explore before, did you pay attention to this place?" Are the islands distributed?”

"According to your estimation, in which direction is the "Escape Whale" more likely to appear? "

Faced with Ling Yi's inquiry, Zi Yao Shi took out a hand-drawn sea chart from his storage soul guide, spread it out and gestured to Ling Yi and others: "Master Ling, what's on this is "Xingyue" The distribution of islands in the archipelago, please see where we are now..."

"If there are no discrepancies in the records handed down from 'Nanhu City', the 'Escape Whale' should have come from the southeast, just opposite our current northwest corner, and the 'Xingyue Islands' attracts 'Escape Whales' The largest gathering place of the "Starlight Clam" group of whales is next to the Xingyue Lake Island in the middle. "

"I suggest that we dock the "Ling Yun" on the small island near the northwest corner, then row a small boat to Xingyue Lake Island, and wait for the arrival of the "Escape Whale" on the island. "

"There are still about ten days until the annual full moon tide. This year is also the period of the 'Light of Stars and Moons' that occurs once every 30 years. By then, all the 'Starlight Clams' in the 'Star Moon Islands' will attract stars all over the sky. Moonlight, according to past practice, the "Escape Whale" will stay here for at least two or three days, or more, ten or eight days..."

"There are still ten more days~" Ling Yi noticed this time and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi raised his head, looked around at the people waiting for him to make a decision, and said: "Then let's follow Captain Zi's suggestion, let's row a boat to the island of Xingyue Lake, and then conduct a detailed survey of the surrounding area. environment, we will make detailed arrangements later.”

"Mo Yuan, leave the survey task to you and Yun Lan. Sneak into the sea and check the distribution of those "Starlight Clams". Captain Zi, please select some sailors with good water skills to assist..."
