…
The sky is blue, but the sea is a bit turbid and dark. The water near the land is not particularly clean, especially when there are many factories and sand cliffs near the coast of the Bohai Sea.
As we flew farther, the color of the sea slowly turned a little dark green.
"We have to find a seaweed pond first." Old Man Zhen said, "If I remember correctly, it's right in front..."
Not long after the old man finished speaking, he saw Tian Cheng flying back from the front driving the eagle Kailong. The sequined feathers of the eagle Kailong were shining in the sun, giving people a feeling of majesty and bravery.
"General, there is a large amount of suspended seaweed ahead, which may contain dangerous marine life. We'd better maintain the flying altitude." Tian Cheng stated.
Zhang Xiaohou looked at the same old man as Zhen. It was actually very difficult to locate a specific location in this vast ocean. Even if it was accurately marked on the map, finding it was another matter. After all, it was difficult to find reference objects in the ocean.
The old man did not rely on any instruments, but he guided them all the way here without deviation, which already showed that the old man was quite familiar with the ocean.
Zhang Xiaohou was relieved.
There are still nine days before the forbidden curse arrives. If it can be determined that the trench is the nest of the Dragon King Ant, this mission can be successfully completed!
"After passing the suspended seaweed pond, and continuing about thirty nautical miles to the east, you can see the ocean grassland." Mr. Zhen said.
…
At first, Zhang Xiaohou didn't understand what the ocean meadow Uncle Zhen was talking about, but when a large swaying green plant gradually appeared on the horizon, Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but look surprised.
It is hard to imagine that there is a large grassland in such a vast expanse of light blue water. Of course, these green grasses are not weeds growing in the soil, but green seaweed.
Most of them grow on sea rocks, reefs, corals, or near the seabed, but I don’t know why these seaweeds all grow up and down the sea surface.
Some of the luxuriant seaweed has even emerged from the water. Unless you look carefully, you might even mistake it for a flat island covered with moist grass.
"The Ghost Trench is just below. Due to the obstruction of this piece of seaweed, many people responsible for the survey did not know that there is an extremely deep continental slope crack below. It is more terrifying than some deep-sea trenches in the Pacific Ocean." Uncle Zhen said.
The old man himself didn't know how deep this crack on the continental slope was. He also discovered it during his survey here earlier.
"Uncle Zhen, is there any place nearby where our dragon beasts can rest? It would be best to camp." Tan Feng asked.
"It's hard to say. There are reefs, but we have to find them temporarily." Uncle Zhen said.
"Captain Tong, take the shadow and water mage down to conduct a preliminary investigation, locate the exact location of the Dragon King Ghost Valley, and estimate the density and level of demons." Zhang Xiaohou said to the young officer.
"yes!"
"Tian Cheng, look for the campsite."
"yes!"
After finding the location, several teams immediately divided their work and took action.
Setting up camp is the most important thing. Even if there is no powerful demon inhabiting such a large crack in an unknown sea-land landslide, its harsh underwater environment must be explored clearly before entering the water.
Otherwise, if there is no timely response to special situations, the entire team will be killed.
…
"General, there are no reefs nearby where you can camp. We have three options now."
"First, use the freezing array to freeze an ice surface the size of a football stadium on the ocean grassland as a camp."
"Second, use dragon beasts to set up an aerial camp. Eagle Kailong takes turns hanging vines, and we spread vine nets in the air."
"Third, we camp directly under the water and let the water magicians form a barrier to maintain oxygen. The sea water here is not particularly deep, so there is no need to set up an overly advanced water barrier."
Tian Cheng quickly came up with several plans, and it was up to Zhang Xiaohou to decide.
Zhang Xiaohou looked at Old Man Zhen. He was most familiar with the Bohai Sea. He could listen to Old Man Zhen's opinion on which camping method to choose.
"Camp under the water. This seaweed area is very large, equivalent to a forest maze in the ocean. A large number of marine monsters live in it. The water is not particularly safe." Old Man Zhen said.
"There is not a lot of seaweed on the seabed. It is relatively clean and the water is clear. If any special situation occurs, we can respond in time. I just don't know if these dragon beasts can go into the water?"
The flying dragon can go into water, but it cannot fight freely underwater.
Eagle Kailong is determined not to go into the water. They have feathers, and going into the water is equivalent to committing suicide.
"General, Eagle Kailong has a six-star domestication level. They can hunt on their own in this sea area and on the island. Their level is so high, and with the existence of flying dragons, no demon group dares to provoke them." Tan Feng said. .
"I almost forgot, they don't need our care," Zhang Xiaohou said.
It doesn't matter if the beasts with a six-star domestication degree can move around freely. If you give an order at any time, they will fly back at any time.
Then they will have no problem camping under the sea!
"Very good, let's set up camp in the water!"
…
The deep place is the trench. This sea area does not reach the deep sea level and does not need to sink very deep.
After setting up the barrier, a large special area with air soon appeared at the bottom of the ocean, and military equipment was quickly spread out.
"Erect a sensing tower." Zhang Xiaohou said to the logistics team leader.
The perception tower is a very important magical instrument. It can release very wide perception ripples to detect nearby monsters.
In the wilderness where monsters are everywhere, especially in some red and purple areas, if you can't figure out the movements of monsters, you will be able to kill endless monsters if you walk randomly.
"General, the sensing tower is completed. The ripple range is now 2.5 kilometers. Does it need to be expanded?" the logistics captain asked.
"How far is it from the mouth of the trench?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"The parallel distance is 2 kilometers." the logistics team leader replied.
"So you can detect monsters at a depth of 1 kilometer in the ocean trench?"
"General, that's not how it is calculated. Our sensing ripple is a circle and can detect 1.5 kilometers down from the trench mouth." The logistics captain said and showed the monitoring map to Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou looked embarrassed.
"Is it the end?" He quickly changed the subject.
"No, this trench is much deeper than we thought." The logistics captain said.
"Then first detect the depth of 1.5 kilometers and evaluate the monsters inside." Zhang Xiaohou said.
"General, preliminary sensory scans show that there are relatively few creatures in the trench. However, the seaweed forest above our heads with a diameter of 20 kilometers and a thickness of 300 meters has an extremely large number of monsters, reaching the level of blood." The logistics captain first He said with a serious face.
