However, when they truly entered the completely unfamiliar new ocean Road, the gap suddenly became obvious.

Under the sea fog, the visibility had unknowingly dropped to less than 20 meters. Among the 32 ships, they could still hear each other's wind and waves, but they could no longer see each other's silhouettes. Some of them even had no silhouettes.

Visibility was the most critical and important factor for all voyagers. Once the visibility was reduced, it meant that there was no way to observe the environment in advance to avoid risks. When the eyes lost their function, especially in such a completely unfamiliar new sea route, it was easy to imagine how fatal it would be. Whether one lived or died, everything depended on luck.

Even the most experienced sailor would shiver in a situation like this, but Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't have much experience at all. He only knew the most basic controls of the ship, and he couldn't even control it with his own hands, yet he was confident and assured.

Bang! Bang! Not far away, a loud noise suddenly came from the side, followed by the sound of seawater pouring into the cabin. At the same time, it was accompanied by a desperate cry for help, but this sound was quickly drowned out by the huge waves.

There was no doubt that the ship not far away must have hit a reef, which caused the ship to be destroyed and people to die. However, this could not be helped. With such visibility, one could not even see a ship beyond 20 meters, let alone a reef hidden under the sea.

Before the sound on this side had completely subsided, there was a sudden loud "bang" on the other side. The outcome was the same as this side, another submerged reef.

They'd just set off, and in the blink of an eye, the boats on both sides had been destroyed. There were probably many people further away who'd suffered the same fate, but Lin Yi couldn't hear them as they were covered by the sound of the wind.

Facing all this, any normal person would be on edge, as if they were walking on thin ice. They might even think of running away, especially if they were in Lin Yi's position. Qi Wenhan had said that as long as he could return safely, it was fine even if he turned back halfway. If it were someone else, they would've turned around at this time.

But Lin Yi didn't plan on doing that at all. Even if he couldn't see what was going on ahead, and even if he was going to end up like the other ships, crashing into a reef and getting both of them killed, he was still calm and composed.

Lin Yi had absolute confidence in this. He couldn't tell what was going on ahead with his senses alone, but don't forget that the Jade on him had a natural warning function, with 100% accuracy!

In this situation, this was the best time to maximize the warning function of the jade pendant.

It didn't matter if he didn't know where the submerged reefs were or if there were whirlpools ahead. It didn't matter if he didn't know where the designated Pirates were, either. As long as the jade pendant beeped and he immediately changed his course to a route without any warning, everything would be fine. He would be able to avoid all the unperceivable risks easily.

The Jade's warning ability was perfect for this environment. With such a powerful cheat helping him, Lin Yi was able to drive the ship easily and happily.

If one were to look through the layers of Sea Fog from midair, they would see an extremely strange scene. On the vast sea, there were wreckages everywhere behind them, and in the sea in front, sailboat No. 5 was constantly taking all kinds of strange routes, sometimes Z-shaped, sometimes snake-shaped. In short, it was not going in a straight line, but twisting and turning.

However, it was this strange and twisted route that made it seem as if it had eyes in the sky. It cleverly avoided all the submerged reefs and even passed through the giant whirlpools that appeared from time to time. It was a dangerous scene, but Lin Yi, the ship's controller, was very calm.

This round of the competition was just as everyone had expected. They weren't even halfway there, and the thirty-two security agencies were almost completely annihilated. Everywhere Lin Yi went, there would be wreckage and carnivorous fish in the sea. As for the bodyguards, not even their bodies could be found-not even their bones were left.

If it wasn't for the Jade's warning, even Lin Yi would've ended up like the others, getting eaten by these bloodthirsty fish. Of course, there was no "if" in this world, and if it weren't for the Jade, Lin Yi wouldn't have come to fight.

"Twenty-one." Lin Yi calculated in his heart. This was the number of wreckages he had seen on his way here, which meant that at least twenty-one escort agencies had been eliminated from this voyage. And that was just what he saw-if he counted the ones he didn't see, the total number was close to thirty!

Such a high elimination rate made one's hair stand on end. Lin Yi also noticed that there were some high-ranked numbers in the remains, like number two. This meant that even a traditional Noble House like the shenfeng escort house had suffered the same fate as the other escort houses.

"Such a dangerous competition, no one should be able to complete it normally. I wonder who designed it?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

He was deeply touched by this point, not only by the shipwrecks he had seen along the way, but also by the route he had taken. No matter how he thought about it, it was strange. The complexity and danger of this sea route was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Without the help of the jade pendant's warning, it would take at least a month to explore a passage bit by bit, let alone a competition. Otherwise, no matter how many people came, they would all die. In short, this was not a place for a competition.

Lin Yi was still mumbling to himself when he suddenly made a turn. Not far ahead, he heard a sound that was different from the usual waves. Listening carefully, it was clear that there was a ship speeding ahead!

Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised-who was this person in front of him? there was actually a master who could travel on the sea like this? And judging from the speed, it wasn't slow at all!

Lin Yi couldn't see the number of the boat in front of him due to the fog, and even his divine sense was blocked, but he could at least tell that it was a participating boat. Who else would want to sail in such a dangerous place?

While Lin Yi was at the back, a middle-aged man at the helm of the sailboat sensed Lin Yi's presence! [A good event where meat pies fall from the sky.
