Chapter 229 Reinforcements
"Qin Mu! Are you even listening to what we're saying?!"
At this moment, Ling Yuan was so angry that she directly called Qin Mu by his full name, wishing she could drag him up and give him a good beating.
"That's a soul beast that once fought against the Sea God! Now that so many years have passed, its strength must have improved even further."
"If I'm not mistaken, even the Grand Priest might not be able to kill him!"
"How can the three of us possibly kill him?"
Seeing this, Qin Mu shrugged.
"Who said there are only three of us?"
"You called for other help?"
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan's first reaction was that Qin Mu had found other helpers.
But with such a powerful opponent, even if they find some helpers, if their strength is insufficient, they will only become food for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Who is the helper you found? Could it be the Grand Priest of the Spirit Hall?"
Seeing Ling Yuan's curious expression, Qin Mu kept her in suspense again.
"You'll find out in a bit, won't you?"
"Now, go to the port and rent a boat. It's a bigger boat, so you can meet some people there."
"It may not be of much use against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but at least it will make it easier for us to go out to sea."
Seeing Qin Mu start keeping her in suspense again, Ling Yuan almost wanted to punch him in the face right away.
However, Qin Mu is now a person of status. Although he doesn't mind being so peaceful with her, it doesn't mean she can be so disrespectful to him.
Moreover, whether Ling Yuan can defeat Qin Mu now is another matter entirely.
Knowing that Qin Mu had his own plans, the two stopped trying to persuade him.
After all, they had witnessed too many miracles in Qin Mu.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that Qin Mu's sixth spirit ring could absorb a spirit ring that was 100,000 years old?
The eighth spirit ring was obtained from the Titan Giant Ape, the overlord of the far north, who was six hundred thousand years old.
They couldn't understand Qin Mu's thoughts.
All they can do is believe.
Because Qin Mu never missed a single moment from beginning to end!
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning, Qin Mu and Ling Yuan traversed the entire city, exited from the west gate of Hanhai City, and followed the wide road specially carved out of the reefs outside the city to descend the reefs and head straight for the dock.
To sail out to sea from Hanhai City Wharf, you need to take this route.
Therefore, although it was difficult to build a road on the reef, the officials of Hanhai City still spared no effort to repair the road very well.
The docks here are enormous, with at least twenty piers, each hundreds of meters long, extending into the sea and housing hundreds of ships.
This place can be considered both the starting point and the end point of maritime trade. It is also a huge source of revenue for the entire Hanhai City.
Although the ocean is full of powerful spirit beasts, it also contains endless wealth.
Living off the sea has long been an unchanging truth in Hanhai City.
Even though people lose their lives to sea monsters every year, this situation remains unchanged.
The land near the sea is mostly saline-alkali soil, which is not suitable for growing crops at all. Only the various marine creatures can bring benefits to Hanhai City.
It is precisely because of the sea that the people here are able to exchange for various resources.
Soon, Qin Mu, led by Yue Guan, arrived in front of a sea ship.
This is a brand new ocean-going vessel, and it looks quite promising.
The entire hull was painted iron-colored. Only the deck was decorated with red and white paint.
It is said that painting the ship's hull iron-colored can minimize the chances of being attacked by spirit beasts.
The ship is over 200 meters long and over 40 to 50 meters wide, making it a very large ship for ocean-going vessels.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that beneath the iron-gray paint on the hull is a thick layer of iron armor protecting the ship.
"How are we supposed to steer such a large ship?"
As soon as she boarded the ship, Ling Yuan voiced her question.
Qin Mu and Yue Guan exchanged a glance, then Qin Mu turned his somewhat malicious gaze to Ling Yuan.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan swallowed hard, took two steps back, and covered her chest with her hands.
"What kind of looks are those?! What do you want?!"
"Guess why I asked you to rent a relatively large ocean-going vessel?"
As Qin Mu spoke, he led Ling Yuan to the control room.
A moment later, Ling Yuan's screams echoed from the control room.
"What?! I disagree!"
Ling Yuan glared at Qin Mu and Yue Guan, then continued speaking.
"How could this be!"
"Why should you be able to enjoy the scenery outside while I'm stuck operating the ship from the control room?!"
"If it were just me, wouldn't I be working myself to death?"
Qin Mu and Yue Guan both shrugged in response.
"The reason I let you rent such a large ship is so that you can use your soul power to directly control the control room and ensure the ship can set sail safely."
"As for why you're the only one in control..."
"I'm going to absorb my ninth spirit ring. What if I waste a lot of unnecessary spirit power on this and the absorption fails in the end?"
Qin Mu's reasoning was lame, but it was still barely plausible.
Ling Yuan immediately turned her gaze to Yue Guan.
"Don't look at me! I'm in charge of observing the sea area and explaining the characteristics of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to Qin Mu."
"You can't do these things either, can you?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan immediately looked like a defeated puppy, hanging her head and looking utterly dejected.
The weather is great today, and the sea is calm.
Once the ship had completely entered the open sea and left the harbor area, Ling Yuan, under her control, raised the mainsail, adjusted the direction, and accelerated towards their destination.
The scenery of the sea is irreplaceable by any other sight; without ever having been to the sea, one can never truly experience its grandeur and magnificence.
The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, where the water met the sky in the distance. The sun was rising slowly in the east, its light illuminating the shimmering surface of the sea.
Even someone as strong as Qin Mu and his group no longer needs to eat to maintain their physical condition.
However, this was their first time going out to sea, and they still caught a few fish with great interest, which served as their food.
Aside from the seafood they ate together at noon, Qin Mu and the other two were busy with their own things all day and didn't have time to say much to each other.
This is the downside of having fewer people.
Of course, their goal was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and if too many unnecessary people came up, it would only cause trouble and increase casualties.
Time flies at sea, and soon night fell.
Tonight is a beautiful night, with clear views of the stars and moon. The sight of the moon rising over the sea is truly captivating.
Qin Mu lay comfortably on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, looking quite relaxed.
Not long after, Qin Mu suddenly said something out of the blue.
"You're here?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a woman in a white dress appeared on the deck of the ship!
