Chapter 727 - 316: Setting Out into the Depths of the Ocean! (Part 3)

The massive roar of the engine resounded, and a fleet of ships followed the giant vessel representing the Binhai City Beastmaster Association, successively departing from the eastern district dock, heading into the depths of the ocean.

"Go."

Before Nan, a dazzling summoning array appeared, accompanied by a clear shriek, the Sea Patrol Shouting Seagull spread its enormous deep blue wings, swiftly soaring into the sky with its streamlined body, overlooking the sea with its crystalline eyes, as the vast scene of boats racing forward entered its view.

The Sea Patrol Shouting Seagull hovered at a high altitude for a while, and once the crowded ships gradually dispersed, its sharp eyes coldly swept over the surging waves and boats below, suddenly accelerating like a deep blue lightning bolt toward the deep blue horizon where the sea meets the sky.

In the distance, the sea was gradually transitioning from the near-shore shallow green and golden hues to a daunting indigo.

The expulsion mission had officially begun.

As the endless azure sea spread before him, even the horizon was tinged with that faint blue, waves continuously battered the ships, Chen Yuan suddenly asked, "What are we to do now?"

This first experience at sea filled him with novelty, a sensation that made him disregard the severe rocking of the ship and ask with interest.

He was eager to assist Zhang Bai and the others.

Zhang Bai observed the distant environment through binoculars, and upon hearing Advisor Chen’s question, he lowered the binoculars, turned around, and replied, "First, disperse from the other ships and have the Sea Patrol Shouting Seagull search for the Furious Sea Shark."

Chen Yuan asked a long-held question in his heart: "Isn’t it extremely dangerous if the ships disperse and encounter the collective movement of the Furious Sea Sharks?"

"Advisor Chen might not know, but the collective action of Furious Sea Sharks is limited to nighttime," Zhang Bai explained with a smile, "The Furious Sea Sharks are massive with strong individual powers; if they collectively search for food, they’d not only alarm marine creatures from afar but also conflict over food distribution."

"So, during the day, they act alone, searching for food by themselves, gathering at night to endure the long night and travel together."

Chen Yuan understood and nodded.

The Beastmaster Association website didn’t have detailed records on the Furious Sea Sharks, to deeply understand these Water-type Pet Beasts, Zhang Bai, living by the sea, was necessary.

Zhang Bai said, "So our mission is to find the Furious Sea Sharks acting alone."

He paused and looked up at the blue sky, sighed, "The weather is great today, visibility is extremely high, it’s a good day for sailing."

Tian walked out from the cabin slowly, glanced at the sky after hearing Zhang Bai’s sentiments, his mature voice said, "Don’t judge too early, the weather at sea is unpredictable, it could be a storm soon enough."

Zhang Bai’s mouth twitched: "Stop, stop, Tian, you mustn’t have a jinx."

Tian chuckled, calmly said, "I’m just respecting the objective reality, the weather at sea is just..."

Seeing Tian wasn’t stopping there, Zhang Bai looked apologetically at Chen Yuan, whispered: "Advisor Chen, though Tian sees the weather accurately, he has a jinx attribute, so one must heed him inversely."

"If he says the weather is clear, chances are it’s going to rain."

Chen Yuan silently quipped: "His weather prediction is accurate, albeit in reverse."

Zhang Bai gazed at the distant clear sky, white clouds leisurely drifted across, the tranquil blue sea stretched beneath, and he exhaled lightly, quietly prayed: "Please don’t let it rain..."

Thankfully, Tian’s jinx attribute didn’t come into effect just yet, until midday, the blazing sun was still hanging high in the sky, the scorching sunlight shone upon the sea without a hint of storm.

But the bad news was, from departure until now, they had yet to encounter the Furious Sea Shark.

Since leaving the dock and venturing into the ocean, other ships had successively vanished, leaving their lone little boat upon the boundless sea.

Fortunately, birds and marine Pet Beasts occasionally soared through the sky and leapt from the sea, so they didn’t feel lonely.

But the novelty of sailing gradually faded, and the monotonous seascape rendered Chen Yuan bored.

He lay on the deck basking in the sunlight, while the Twin Flower Concubine seemed engaged in a magical photosynthesis beside him, her purple hair emitting a splendid light, green spots flashed on her palms.

Cola stood upon the deck’s railing, blue eyes constantly watching the churning sea, pondering a serious question.

Could it swim in this vast ocean?

As thoughts raced, Cola clearly showed interest, stealthily stretching out a paw, prepared to test the depth of the sea.

Chen Yuan turned to look, speaking calmly: "Handle business first, swim after the mission ends."

Cola had decent swimming skills, his abilities having significantly improved, he could dive for extended periods to glimpse the mysteries of the ocean bed.

But now wasn’t the time for swimming.

"Ah..."

Cola dejectedly hung its head, lying sideways on the warmed deck, fixated on the churning sea, hoping the Furious Sea Shark would appear soon.

Cola didn’t want to be this bored.

Suddenly,

A blue silhouette sped through the clouds at eye-blurring speed, its wide wings trailing two streaming currents, swiftly nearing the fishing boat.

In mere moments, the Sea Patrol Shouting Seagull flew over the boat, emitting a clear call while circling back and forth.

Nan, who was playing a game, removed his headset, abruptly stood up and stated: "Found the Furious Sea Shark."

Tian strode towards the cabin, and the mighty engine roar suddenly arose, the ship following the high-flying Sea Patrol Shouting Seagull swiftly through the whole journey, cutting through waves with its bow, leaving white foam trailing in its wake.

The sea wind howled, water surface burbled.

The high-flying Sea Patrol Shouting Seagull, like a deep blue lightning bolt, sliced through the clouds, its long call tore through the sea breeze, sharp eyes gazing down—a narrow black shadow, like a submarine, was swimming wildly, its ferocious movements stirring the calm sea.
