Chapter 274 The accident of the cross-sea flying boat
The sea was turbulent and Shi Chen was controlling the flying boat to sail in the air.
From time to time, huge shadows appeared in the sea, swimming through the turbulent sea below the flying boat. It was unclear whether they were sea monsters or demonic beasts.
In the distance, waves piled up like rolling mountains, crashing into each other and creating a massive splash. White foam danced across the surface like falling snowflakes. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, shimmering on the water, creating a shimmering, sometimes mysterious halo.
From time to time, strange seabirds soar over the sea, their sturdy bodies, colorful feathers, and crisp calls. These seabirds seem to be unafraid of the turbulent sea, freely shuttling between the waves in search of food.
Looking further into the distance, some faint islands are floating on the sea.
Some of these islands are shrouded in mist, creating a mysterious atmosphere; others are covered in exotic flowers and plants, vibrant and colorful. Occasionally, mysterious lights flicker on the islands, as if they are hiding endless treasures.
However, despite the beautiful scenery of the Chaotic Sea, Shi Chen and his companions did not dare to relax. They were always alert to the possible dangers lurking in the sea and focused on controlling the flying boat, continuing to move towards their destination.
A month later, Shi Chen, who was cultivating, noticed that the restrictions in the warehouse had been triggered, so he removed them. Liang Ruyan, Xu Qianying, and Huang Ziying were standing in front of the warehouse door.
"What happened?" Shi Chen asked with a frown, puzzled.
"You will know if you use your spiritual sense to explore the outside. Alas! Many cultivators have died here." Liang Ruyan said.
Shi Chen swept his spiritual sense out and saw that the once huge and majestic large cross-sea flying boat was now floating on the sea in a broken state, and the surrounding area was in a mess.
The bodies of many monks floated in the sea, some were hit by the waves and collided with each other, while others lay quietly on the broken wooden boards, their faces pale and lifeless.
The wreckage of the flying boat was scattered everywhere, the broken mast was slanted in the sea, and the huge sails were fluttering weakly in the sea breeze.
Occasionally, faint cries for help could be heard from some cabins that had not been completely destroyed, but they seemed so small and helpless in the surging waves and howling wind.
All kinds of objects floated on the sea, including broken magic weapons, scattered medicine bottles, broken weapons, etc. Blood dyed a large area of the sea red, which was particularly glaring in the sunlight.
Some sea beasts were attracted by the smell of blood and swam around, staring at the wreckage and corpses, ready to attack at any time.
A feeling of sadness and anger welled up in Shi Chen's heart.
So many monks rushed to the front lines with the faith to fight for humanity, only to meet such a tragic fate in this turbulent sea. He clenched his fists tightly and secretly vowed to make the siren pay the price.
"What should we do?" Xu Qianying asked softly, her eyes full of worry and pity.
Shi Chen was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's first see if there are any survivors. If we can, we'll save as many as we can."
Several people nodded in agreement and flew out of the flying boat to search for survivors in the wreckage of the cross-sea flying boat. They searched for signs of life in the broken cabins and among the floating planks, leaving no possible corner untouched.
After much effort, they found many injured monks. Shi Chen and his companions immediately began treating them, using elixirs and spells to stabilize their injuries. These monks saw hope amidst despair, their eyes gleaming with gratitude.
While rescuing the survivors, Shi Chen pondered the reason behind the attack. Why would the Kraken attack a large, sea-crossing flying vessel? Was it a premeditated action, or a chance encounter? He understood that this war was far more complex and brutal than he had imagined, and the challenges they faced would only grow increasingly daunting.
Unfortunately, none of the flying boat's crew members survived, only some low-level monks hiding in the boat's hold survived.
After finding a survivor with the highest cultivation level, Shi Chen asked, "What's going on? Can't the protective formation of the cross-sea flying boat withstand the attack?"
"I'm not too sure. I was practicing in the boat cabin at the time, and suddenly I felt the flying boat was attacked. Before we could react, the flying boat was blown up and fell directly into the sea. There were large monsters waiting in the sea, and many cultivators were devoured by the monsters." said the cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.
"Where are the guards of the flying boat? The cultivator in charge should have reached the Spirit Transformation Stage. How could the defense be broken so easily?" Shi Chen muttered to himself.
There must be something fishy going on here. Even if he had a high level of attainment in formation, it would be impossible to break the protective formation in such a short time.
Shi Chen frowned, lost in thought. He looked around at the chaotic scene, his doubts growing stronger.
"Could it be that the Siren has a new trick? Or is there a traitor who destroyed the flying boat's protective formation?" Shi Chen whispered to himself.
He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly; he couldn't let these monks' sacrifices go in vain. He instructed Liang Ruyan and the others to continue caring for the injured, while he began to carefully examine the wreckage of the flying boat.
After discovering some strange traces in the wreckage, he had an idea and continued to explore in depth, not missing any details.
At the same time, Liang Ruyan and others were also working hard to take care of the injured. They used elixirs and spells to stabilize the injured and gave them psychological comfort.
After experiencing such a huge disaster, these injured people were filled with fear and despair. The care and concern of Liang Ruyan and others made them feel a little warmth.
While rescuing the wounded, they also heard rumors of attacks.
Some of the injured said that they saw some strange lights rising from the bottom of the sea before the attack, and then the flying boat was attacked.
Some injured people also said that after the flying boat was attacked, they saw some black shadows moving through the sea at an extremely fast speed, and they did not know what they were.
These rumors made Shi Chen and others more convinced that this attack was no accident. They must find out the truth as soon as possible and prepare for the war against the human race.
Shi Chen continued to search for clues in the wreckage of the flying boat, his heart filled with a sense of urgency.
Time is running out, and the Siren may attack again at any time. They must find out the truth as soon as possible and take countermeasures to protect more monks and contribute to the victory of the human race.
If it happened once, there might be a next time. A whole ship of monks, at least ten thousand people, were sniped and killed here. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the united army of monks.
Just as Shi Chen was searching for clues in the wreckage, a flying boat came quickly from the distance. Before the boat arrived, the sound was already heard.
"Haha, I said I would come back to clean up the mess, but the king said no. Look, I got it." The voice was extremely arrogant and full of pride.
Shi Chen's heart tightened, and then he snorted coldly. Just when he was worried about not being able to find any clues and was extremely distressed, a sea monster suddenly appeared at his doorstep.
His eyes flashed, and he quickly sent a message to Liang Ruyan and the others: "Take care of yourselves. These sea monsters may be able to provide us with some clues."
