Chapter 381: 378: Inventions and Espionage
In the cave,
In Lingfeng Lake.

Chu Zhou stood in the air, his whole body shining brightly, like a bright moon hanging in the sky.

In his hand, a jade bottle appeared, filled with golden liquid, as thick as slurry.

On the earth, in the vast blue lakes, countless aquatic species have emerged.

The most numerous of course are various fish, big, small, and of various shapes. Most of the pairs of fish eyes are flashing with wisdom, appearing fanatical and eager.

Of course there are other aquatic species, including but not limited to lobsters, crabs, turtles, sea snakes, octopuses, etc.

The species are naturally varied and include everything, but the only truly amazing thing is that these aquatic animals are more or less intelligent.

The reason they can appear here is because they have excellent qualifications that are rare even among aquatic species.

After standing in the air for a while, Chu Zhou finally moved.

He picked up the jade bottle and tilted it slightly. The golden liquid fell into the water like streams of light.
It felt like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, dropping countless golden streams, and the aquatic animals below could no longer care about anything else.

They opened their mouths as wide as possible, breathing in and out, using all their strength to draw inspiration and inhale the golden imperial fluid.

Of course, some of them were successful, and strands of it went into their mouths, transforming into the purest medicinal power to replenish their bodies.

It makes their wisdom more profound, their blood more boiling, and even more demonic power grows out of nowhere, colliding in their bodies like silk threads.

After doing all this, Chu Zhou lowered his head slightly and carefully observed these monsters that were about to transform into demons.

how to say?

There are good seedlings. After all, he found them by searching the mountains and seas with the method of spiritual travel, so they have good qualifications.

With the same Emperor Liujiang, their awakened bloodlines are purer, they have more demonic power, and their bodies are constantly growing.

But it is hard to say whether you can catch his eye and become the naval commander of Xuanzhen Taoist Palace!
Even if one has a treasure like the Emperor’s Flowing Water, cultivating aquatic creatures is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

So, be patient!

Be more patient!
……

The human world,
The human world, the Great Yan Dynasty, beside a big lake.

A group of human soldiers are trying out magic here and training underwater fighting skills.

Some of them made hand gestures to cast spells, chanted incantations silently, and a bubble appeared outside their body.

However, the bubble was not stable, but kept changing shape according to their spells.

Some are fitted to the body, some are extended as far as possible, some are like arrowheads, some are turned into sharp cones, and some are like fish fins…

Only after he had adapted himself did he jump into the water, stomping his feet, and disappearing quickly.

Like a white shark in the waves, extremely sensitive.

On the side, there were many people observing, asking questions and making various records.

It should be said that the improvement of the ‘Water Avoidance Technique’ is extremely effective. The magic team has completed the change of shape and enhanced the strength of the magic.

But when they really got into it, they found that they could actually do better and more.

They tried to make further improvements, hoping to make this “water avoidance technique” more varied, such as being able to generate a huge thrust,

For example, simulating a fish tail or flippers to enhance speed and agility in the water.

You have to admit that although humans are inherently weak in water, they can change that through magic and tools.

Of course, the testing and training was not limited to this group, there were also people trying various techniques in the water.

It was almost impossible to use fire and wind magic in water, but water and ice magic still had considerable power.

They need to determine the difficulty and power, and then seek improvements!

Of course, if you say that fire magic is absolutely ineffective, that’s not really the case. There is a group that is trying out some strange magic such as ‘fire in water’.

You have to admit, although it’s not easy, it’s quite powerful!

Although water magic and ice magic are powerful, the sea people are also highly resistant!
This fire method alone is the nemesis of the sea creatures. Almost most of the sea creatures are afraid of fire.

This is also one of the research directions of the magic group.

……

within the secret realm,
In Wanghai Palace.

This was originally the place where Chu Zhou practiced. It was where spiritual energy gathered and it was also a vast ocean.

Originally, there shouldn’t be any outsiders here, but at this moment, it was different.

“The underwater cruiser is ready. All departments are reporting the inspection results. The first team…”

“Group One, the power system self-check is complete, the spiritual power route is unblocked, the spiritual stones are loaded, and we are waiting for orders!”

“The second group?”

“The second set of formation self-inspection has been completed. Activate the large water source isolation formation and prepare to enter the water.”

“The third group report…”

“Team three, the control system self-check has been completed, the helmsman is ready, please give instructions.”

“Fourth group……”

“………”

“The fifth group…”

“…………”

A series of voices rang out. Finally, everything that needed to be prepared was ready. Another steady voice spoke: “Underwater cruiser, the ninety-ninth experiment officially begins!”

“Everyone, please look forward to our success!”

Then, on the water, a war magic weapon that looked like a Sky Patrol Boat suddenly shook, and rays of light flashed on its surface, forming a barrier that tightly covered the entire ship.

But this barrier is not round, but more like an arrow shape, with edges and corners.

Then, the boat shook and plunged directly into the water, splashing huge water.

Under the water, the huge propeller was rotating at an increasingly faster speed, pushing the entire Dharma ship to move at an extremely fast speed.

Looking closely, the barrier is not static, but rises and falls like waves, minimizing the resistance in the water.

A full quarter of an hour later, the French cruiser suddenly rushed out of the water, with its bow hanging high as if it was about to fly into the sky.

But when it reached a certain position, it finally fell down, making a huge splash on the water surface.

Then, countless cheers were heard, and countless people celebrated.

Nearly a hundred experiments, which consumed countless materials and expended countless manpower, led to this success.

This is also the first underwater magic boat independently developed by Xuanzhen Taoist Palace without the help of Wanxian City.

With this, the human army will have the possibility to continue fighting in the ocean.

Of course, there are still many things to be improved in the future, especially the weapon system, which has not yet been finalized.

……

Also in Wanghai Palace,
Elsewhere, it was a gloomy and gloomy scene!
“Paper talismans are definitely no longer viable, even if our improved ink can withstand water without dissolving.

However, the mana attached to it will continue to dissipate, and will no longer have any effect.”

“Besides, a large portion of paper talismans need to be burned, and they simply cannot burn in water.”

“Without the help of the talisman, the power of those arrows will be greatly reduced. Add to that the resistance under water, and it will just tickle the sea creatures, right?”

“So, we have to change the carrier of the talisman. Since we can’t afford the jade talisman, we can only work on the stone and wooden talismans.” “We must first find the right stone or wood, determine its characteristics, analyze its advantages and disadvantages, think of a way to make several talismans, and then determine its power.”

“It’s easy for you to say that. We don’t know how long it will take just to analyze the materials.

This is the mission given to us by the Dao Palace. We don’t know when the sea tribe will attack us, so how can we take our time to study it?”

“Then we will divide them into groups. One group will look for stone, and the other group will look for wood. The requirements are large quantity and low price, and then we will consider the effect!”

“The war with the sea tribe is imminent, and we don’t know how long it will last. These materials must be of good quality and low price.”

“Besides that, have another group look through the Dao Palace’s collection of books to see if they can find any useful information for reference.”

“It would be best if someone could talk to the palace masters and see if we can find it in Wanxian City?”

“You make it sound like we can get in touch with a few palace masters. Let’s file a report first. I hope it helps!”

The leaders finally came to a conclusion after discussing it together, and then the groups were immediately divided up and everyone got busy again.

I’m afraid that when these people accepted the task, they never thought that the biggest limitation was not the method, but the materials!

Of course, most of these people are talisman masters. Ordinary talismans are paper talismans, but if you ask a weapon refiner, you will find that materials are a big deal.

……

Another place,
By the pond.

An immortal cultivator landed at the water’s edge. He raised his hand and took out a round object covered with various patterns.

He carefully placed the ball on the water surface, raised his hand and sent the ball out with a gentle force.

Gradually, the force diminished, and the ball sank into the water, but it did not sink to the bottom. Instead, it emitted wisps of light and was suspended in the water.

After doing all this, the man stood up in a hurry, then, controlled the flying sword and flew into the sky, as if there was some plague god following him.

Just after he left, an ice arrow fell from the sky, accurately pierced into the water and touched the sphere.

It was a very light collision, but the patterns on the ball suddenly lit up and flashed until it exploded with a loud bang.

boom!
With a loud bang, the water surface suddenly sank, forming a huge pit, and then rushed up rapidly, with huge splashes of water flying tens of meters into the sky before falling down.

It made a crackling sound, just like a heavy rain!
Immediately, people rushed up, made various measurements, and reported various data.

“The explosion range is 20 meters, and the effective killing range should be 5 meters.”

“The explosion power is relatively small, and the lethality is seriously insufficient. It would be best to add steel balls, iron nails, etc. to it. With the shock wave, it should be able to cause serious injuries to the sea creatures.”

“It’s still too sensitive when starting. It’s better to lower the setting. Otherwise, it’s too easy to accidentally touch it.”

“The most important thing is to disguise your appearance. It’s best not to attract attention.”

Each piece of information is recorded, indicating the direction of subsequent changes.

In fact, this is just one group. Other groups include those studying thunder magic, underwater bombardment, and freezing.

The most amazing thing is a bomb that emits a piercing sonic wave after exploding.

It’s nothing in the air, at most it’s a little harsh, but in the water, it can directly destroy the cochlea of ​​the sea creatures, with amazing power.

……

Just when the human race was preparing for war in full swing, an emergency occurred on the border of the South China Sea.

A fishing boat was drifting on the sea and was spotted by the lookout tower from afar. A warrior then walked on the waves and boarded the boat.

After a while, there was one more person in front of Captain He Shaojie of this section of the defense line.

This is a middle-aged man with dark skin and timid eyes. He has a slightly hunched back, calluses all over his hands, and exudes a strong fishy smell.

He Shaojie turned around in front of him several times, frowning: “You said you are a fisherman?”

“You don’t know that martial law has been imposed here, and you still dare to go out to sea, do you want to live?”

“I, I, I have to support my family. Without my fishing skills, I can’t do anything else.”

“The court didn’t make any arrangements for you? They should have relocated all the people.”

“No, that’s not it. The fishing village where I live is quite remote. Those officials don’t care about our lives at all.”

“Then how did you get out to sea? This long border has been under martial law. I don’t know how many eyes are watching you. How did you get out?”

“I don’t know. I saw that many places were guarded, but no one was in charge of where I parked my boat, so I sailed out in my boat.”

“What about your fish? I looked inside your boat, but I didn’t see any fish.”

The middle-aged man said with a sad face: “I sailed to a very far place, but there were no fish, it seemed that all the fish had disappeared.

I drifted on the sea for three days, ate all the food and drank all the water, but found nothing.

I, I, I don’t know what to do…”

He Shaojie looked at the middle-aged man and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

The appearance of this person is a little incredible, but, after all, he is a human being, not a sea creature.

There wasn’t even a trace of training on his body, nor any spiritual power at all. No one would believe that he was a monster!
After struggling for a moment, he finally shook his head and said, “Okay, go ahead, go faster, I’ll give you some food, and go home early.”

As he said this, he raised his hand and called over a group of soldiers, ordering them to protect the fisherman.

After doing all this, he put these things behind him.

However, what he didn’t know was that after leaving the military camp, everyone was going further and further away.

The leading team discovered that the middle-aged man seemed unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, which made him more alert.

However, due to the huge disparity in strength, they eventually became victims of the sword.

In a remote corner, body parts were scattered all over the ground, blood was flowing everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the nose.

The middle-aged man tore off a piece of cloth and wiped the blood off his arm. Looking at his hands again, they were still rough and heavy, but emitting a cold metallic glow.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the military camp, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

They originally thought that relying on their human identity, it would be easy to blend in.

But unexpectedly, the human race reacted extremely quickly. They actually built a long line of defense, cleared the land, and moved all the people away.

In this way, their original plan failed, and they were lucky to get away with it.

However, others may not be so lucky and their identities may be exposed.

By then, not only would they be in danger, but the secret of the Three Kings Palace might also be exposed, and they would become sinners.

Thinking of this, the worry on his face became even more intense, but after a moment, he shook his head and put all of this out of his mind.

Now, it’s too late to say all this. He came here with a mission, and completing the mission is still his top priority.

As he said this, he turned into a streak of light and headed inland.

On the other side, He Shaojie finally came over after discovering that a group of people were missing. When he saw the pile of broken limbs and arms, his face changed drastically.

At this moment, he knew very well that the dark man was a spy from the sea clan, who had deceived him and successfully entered the territory of Dayan.

He did not dare to delay and reported it in the shortest possible time. Then, he reported it layer by layer until it finally reached the Alliance of All Beings.

The Alliance of All Living Beings still took this matter seriously. After some statistics, they found that there were hundreds of people coming ashore on this coastline in a very short period of time using this excuse.

Even a fool would know that this was wrong. A thorough investigation confirmed that the sea clan had indeed trained a group of high-quality human spies.

However, this news did not attract Chu Zhou’s attention. It was not that he did not care, but that it was overshadowed by other news.

Because something went wrong in the demon world, Tiger Vanguard sent a letter for help.
