Chapter 270 The fleet evacuated urgently and decided to find out the truth
"Chirp!"
With the cry of an eagle, a golden streak of light streaked across the sky, then swooped down quickly and landed on a huge treasure ship.
"Brother, you are finally here!"
Wan'er happily said to Li Dingguo who had just arrived, "With the help of Dajin, the speed of completing the survey of the sea area along the coast of Jiaozhou will surely double."
She originally thought that Li Dingguo would come and join the fleet she led in a few days.
As a result, because the work of gathering, relocating and relocating refugees went so smoothly, more than two million refugees poured into Lingshan Island in just one month, making the soldiers of the Fuxing Army from top to bottom very busy.
Li Dingguo's original itinerary was delayed.
Now another half a month has passed and it is early autumn. After everything is back on track, Li Dingguo is finally able to spare some time to meet up with Wan'er's squadron that was heading out for a special mission.
At this time, the squadron had arrived at the outermost part of Laoshan Bay: near the Qianli Islands.
In this big world, the Thousand Mile Islands, located at the outermost edge of Laoshan Bay, is an archipelago composed of countless small islands, and its range far exceeds a thousand miles.
These densely packed islands, spread across an area of about 3,000 miles in radius, are like pearls on the sea, and are fascinating to look at.
"Wan'er, we can't go any further!"
As soon as Li Dingguo arrived, he hurriedly said to Wan'er, "I just saw something unusual in the sky. There were several sea dragons, which are top-level sea beasts, flying close to the sea surface in the direction of the fleet!"
"The aura they emit is too terrifying. They are no more than three hundred miles away from our fleet!"
"You know, any dragon-like spiritual beast can not only swim in the water, but also fly in the sky!"
"Even if there is only one level six dragon, it can pose a huge threat to our fleet, let alone a group of nearly ten dragons!"
Seeing this legendary top-level spiritual beast for the first time today, even Li Dingguo was shocked and his face turned pale!
According to legend, in this world, as soon as dragon-like beasts reach adulthood, they will directly reach the peak level of cultivation at level five.
If a person is a genius from the Jiaolong clan, he can easily break through to the sixth-level spirit beast. They can fly into the sky and into the sea and are omnipotent.
No human force dares to provoke them.
Fortunately, the dragon is a spiritual beast, not one of those violent monsters. It will not specifically target humans and start killings at will.
Any adult dragon has awakened its innate magical power, and it is common for it to turn rivers and seas upside down!
In today's human world, masters of the Spirit Refining Realm have disappeared completely and have not appeared for more than a thousand years. They are simply unable to stop the attack of an adult dragon.
"Ah! There's a dragon ahead?"
"Peng Jianhong! Quickly order the soldiers to stop advancing and turn the treasure ship around immediately!"
"hurry up!"
After Li Dingguo finished speaking, even the daring Wan'er was frightened and hurriedly shouted to the deputy commander of the nearby fleet, Peng Jianhong.
No wonder Wan'er was so anxious, because once our side collides with the enemy, we will not be able to defeat them at all.
Although the treasure ships are so huge and are protected by formations, once they encounter top-level sea beasts like dragons and are attacked by them, they can easily overturn and sink all the treasure ships.
I can't afford to offend him, I really can't afford to offend him.
As the command flag on the flagship was raised, the treasure ships of this squadron quickly turned around.
"Brother, I heard that there are very few sea dragons. They always live in their own nests in the deep sea. Under normal circumstances, they will not leave the large spiritual land where they live."
"It is definitely extraordinary that they have now appeared at the outermost edge of Laoshan Bay."
After the squadron turned around, it quickly headed back to the coast. Wan'er suddenly remembered something and said to Li Dingguo, "Should we quietly follow them and see what happened? That way we can have a better idea of what happened."
"In the past month and a half, I have led this fleet to survey this sea area, and discovered many high-level and top-level sea beasts along the way."
"I think something unusual will happen in the sea nearby."
“It would be terrible if a big crisis came and we didn’t know about it.”
The seas and oceans in this vast world are too dangerous. So far, humans know less than one-tenth of them.
Even those white barbarians, although their large fleets sailed far and wide and started a colonial plundering mode, they only relied on a few explored offshore routes to make money all over the world.
They know nothing about more than 99 percent of the oceans, let alone have much understanding of these seas and oceans.
In a nutshell, all the oceans in this big world are still shrouded in a veil of mystery.
No human force knows the true situation.
"This……"
After hearing Wan'er's suggestion, Li Dingguo hesitated.
Indeed, it would be best if we could clarify some unknown situations as Wan'er said.
This naval-based Restoration Army that he had just created now has its headquarters on a large island near the coast.
If a major disaster occurs in the nearby deep sea area, it will undoubtedly be affected.
However, if unexpected events cause you to get into big trouble that you cannot handle, it will be too late to regret.
Lingshan Island's current island protection formation is quite capable of dealing with human forces from all sides, but after all, it is only a primary formation, and its defensive power is ultimately limited.
If you provoke an enemy with level six cultivation, and not just one, you will be easily defeated by the other party.
The safety of himself and Wan'er is not a problem. They can ride on the golden eagle and escape at any time.
But the navy that he had created with great effort and which had already grown into a fairly large one had already developed into something quite decent. If it was lost, all his efforts would be wasted. It was not just a simple huge loss.
"Brother, we have Da Meng and Da Jin with us. As long as we follow those dragons carefully at an altitude of tens of thousands of feet, we should not be discovered by them."
Wan'er saw that Li Dingguo was hesitating, so she continued, "If we don't find out the real situation, we won't feel at ease even if we return to Lingshan Island."
What she said did make sense. Li Dingguo had also thought about it, but due to some concerns, he could not make up his mind for the time being.
Although it is better to have less trouble than more, if the worst-case scenario that Wan'er described really happens, it would catch people off guard.
"Ok."
Li Dingguo thought about it for a while, nodded, and agreed with what Wan'er said.
After all, as the true overlord of the sky, the golden eagle has an advantage in speed in the air that even the dragons cannot match. The blood of the divine beast in their bodies: the blood of the golden-winged roc, is of the same quality as the blood of the true dragon in the bodies of those dragons.
When it comes to air superiority, even the True Dragon clan is far inferior to the Golden-Winged Roc.
Now that the decision had been made, Li Dingguo did not hesitate and ordered Peng Jianhong to lead the squadron directly back to Lingshan Island to participate in the work of relocating the refugees.
Anyway, the general situation of the thousands of islands in this vast sea area has basically been surveyed by Wan'er's fleet, except for some islands located in the outer sea that have not yet been surveyed.
With the current size of the Restoration Army, it is too small to effectively utilize and develop all the selected islands within a few years.
It would be more practical to take one step at a time and develop and expand step by step.
"Wan'er, let's go!"
Seeing Peng Jianhong taking orders solemnly, Li Dingguo flew to the special magic saddle on the back of Dajin and sat down.
Almost at the same time, Wan'er also jumped up and sat on the back of Da Meng who was waiting on the side, ready to set off.
At this time, Li Dingguo noticed that Da Meng had actually broken through to the early stage of level five!
No wonder Wan'er was so confident and suggested following the dragons to see what was going on.
It turned out that her confidence came from the fact that Da Meng was no longer the same person he used to be. He had already broken through and become a level five spirit bird.
Da Meng's bloodline has undergone a mutation and upgrade since he was a child. The golden-winged Roc bloodline in his body is much thicker than that of Da Jin, and his growth speed is also beyond common sense.
In a few years, it is very likely that the two golden eagles, Da Meng and Xiao Jin, will surpass their mother Da Jin in terms of cultivation.
"Brother, you just noticed Da Meng's big change now, right?"
Seeing Li Dingguo's surprised look, Wan'er said proudly, "Let me tell you! Da Meng not only broke through to the fifth-level primary spirit bird a few days ago, but also awakened his innate magical power!"
"Although its combat power is still far inferior to that of the Great Gold, it is enough to survive any peak level 5 or even level 6 monster, and it can easily evacuate safely."
Da Meng has long been Wan'er's companion spirit bird. The stronger its cultivation, the more help it can provide to Wan'er.
Therefore, there was nothing wrong with her current feeling of pride.
The two men did not waste any more time and immediately ordered the two golden eagles to set off.
As two golden lights shot up into the sky, Dajin and Dameng instantly left the treasure ship and arrived at a height of thousands of feet.
They were also aware of the danger this time and did not stay at an altitude of ten thousand feet. Instead, they continued to climb until they reached an altitude of thirty thousand feet, then they stopped their upward momentum.
Then, under the guidance of Dajin, they headed towards the direction where the dragons were.
Da Jin is indeed a descendant of the golden-winged Roc, known as the overlord of the sky, and his abilities are extraordinary.
It just took Da Meng and flew rapidly over a sea area for about a quarter of an hour, and then it discovered and locked onto the figures of those dragons.
At this time, below the sky ahead, there were suddenly several large green dragons flying rapidly close to the sea surface, flying towards the open sea.
The Jiaolong, a top-level spiritual beast, loves water by nature. Even when flying in the air, it generally does not leave the sea surface too high.
It's not that they don't have the ability to fly high, but they simply don't like to stay away from the water.
Although their cultivation level is higher than that of the two golden eagles and they are the first level six spiritual beasts that Li Dingguo has seen, the flying speed of the golden eagles is not inferior to that of these green dragons.
This is what it means to specialize in a certain field.
If it is a dragon of the same level, its flying speed in the air cannot compare to that of the top-level spiritual bird, the golden eagle.
However, the Jiaolong, a top-level spiritual beast, can adapt to land, sea and air, and is naturally endowed with strong physical defenses.
If Li Dingguo attacked them, even if they stood still and allowed him to attack, he would not be able to hurt these level six dragons at all.
This is Li Dingguo’s helplessness.
This was also the main reason why he considered it over and over again before deciding to follow the other party to find out the truth.
There is no way. The gap between our combat power and those of the dragons is too huge, just like comparing an adult with a newborn baby.
However, Li Dingguo was not without confidence.
He has three natal divine artifacts on him. Once he encounters a fatal attack, the natal divine artifacts will automatically protect their master. These green dragons will not be able to do anything to Li Dingguo in a short period of time.
This is the magic of the natal artifact.
Of course, due to Li Dingguo's level of cultivation, he was unable to actively allow his own innate magical weapon to exert even a trace of its power.
Once attacked by a level six strong man, if you don't run away in time, your own qi and blood will be quickly consumed and your body's protective qi will be broken. The innate magic weapon that relies on extracting the owner's essence and spirit to activate the function of protecting the owner will become a decoration.
At that time, the natal artifact, because it had no owner's spirit to support it, became rootless, and its function of protecting the owner became ineffective immediately. Li Dingguo had no way out and was tragically killed easily by the opponent.
The strength of the master-protecting function that any innate divine weapon can unleash is closely tied to the cultivation level of its owner.
If the master is too weak and the enemy he faces is too powerful, he will not be able to exert much power to protect his master and will not be able to save his master.
Just because you have a divine weapon doesn't mean you will be safe.
Once you reveal that you have a life-originated divine weapon, you will bring about fatal disaster, which will bring you not only blessings but also bad luck, and the possibility of your early death is very high.
After all, no cultivator can resist the great temptation of killing the enemy and then snatching his life-saving artifact.
This is what is meant by a child carrying gold through a busy street, a person whose virtue is not worthy of his position.
"Da Jin, Da Meng, you must do your best to restrain your aura and never let those green dragons discover you."
Seeing that they had caught up with the enemy, Li Dingguo quickly sent a voice message to the two golden eagles flying head-to-head, saying, "Otherwise, we will have no choice but to flee immediately."
He then sent a voice message to Wan'er, "Wan'er, you too, use all your strength to activate your concealment and breath-holding techniques, and gather and hide all your aura. Don't relax for even a moment!"
This is the first time I have encountered a level six spirit beast. God knows how powerful its magical powers are.
Therefore, Li Dingguo did not dare to be careless even in the slightest.
While instructing the two golden eagles and Wan'er, he also hurriedly used all his strength to practice the breath-concealing and concealment techniques that had reached a superb level, and restrained all the aura in his body.
It's not that he is timid, but the opponent is too strong. Even if the two of them use all their trump cards, they probably can't withstand the opponent's full-strength attack.
This is the gap, but you have to admit it.
