Beauty and the Bodyguard

With their morale greatly boosted, all of the offensive formations quickly prepared for the second wave of attacks. However, just as it seemed like another massacre was about to happen, the few mountain splitting stage existences that had been hiding among the sea beasts all this time suddenly broke out of the water and revealed their true appearance before everyone.

The crowd immediately cried out in alarm. At this moment, there were actually five sea beasts in the mountain opening stage that had suddenly appeared!

Deep sea mad sharks, netherworld ghost mothers, soul-hooking strange fish, thousand-legged tyrant king crabs, and Humpback Mountain whales. Every one of them was a notorious Overlord of the sea. Any one of them would be a disaster for human cultivators. Ordinary treasured ships could not withstand their attacks at all. Fortunately, this was an ancient warship.

However, even the ultimate weapon, the ancient warship, was under a lot of pressure when it faced five overlords of the sea. Everyone, including ao Tianba, was breathless.

"Ignore them. Let's get rid of the xuansheng stage cultivators first. Kill them all!" Ao Tianba suddenly reacted and shouted at the sound transmission array.

Only by killing all the sea beasts at the xuansheng stage could he slowly deal with the five overlords of the sea. Otherwise, if they were to be the first to fall into an intense battle, the sea beasts at the xuansheng stage would definitely destroy the defensive formation bit by bit, becoming the last straw that would crush the elephant.

This was the most correct response. Unfortunately, before ao Tianba could finish his sentence, a giant shadow as large as a mountain had already crashed into the ancient battleship. With a loud bang, the ancient battleship was knocked to the side. Such a huge force was beyond imagination!

"Humpback Mountain whale!" Ao Tianba gritted his teeth and said the name of the giant creature. It was the heaviest creature in the ocean. It was no exaggeration to say that every movement of a Humpback Mountain whale could move mountains and seas, because they themselves were moving mountains!

It was so close to them, and its size alone gave them an unparalleled psychological pressure. However, this was not the worst. The worst was the urgent report coming from the sound transmission array,"Captain! The monster was blocking the attack! We can't lock onto the sea beast at the xuansheng stage!"

"It's just a meat shield ..." Lin Yi didn't feel good at all. They'd just gotten a little bit of an advantage, and now the humpback whale was blocking their way. It was obvious that the mountain opening stage sea beast was just a chess piece.

At this moment, everyone was looking at ao Tianba. They had to make a quick decision without any hesitation, as his next order would directly affect the life and death of everyone.

With the humpback Mountain whale's tough skin and thick flesh, he wasn't afraid of a fight at all. Even if he blasted a few dozen holes into it, it would only be like scratching an itch. If he didn't fight, he would immediately fall into a passive state. He could only take the beating and couldn't fight back. No matter how strong the defense array was, it wouldn't last long.

"Stop the attack." Ao Tian BA ordered in a deep voice.

"Captain, should we activate the ten thousand mile formation?" The first mate's voice rang out from the sound transmission array. Everyone's eyes flickered and they nodded slightly in unison.

"What is the ten thousand li formation?" Lin Yi whispered to Huo yudie.

"The ten thousand mile formation means to travel ten thousand miles a day. It can increase the speed of the warship to the extreme in the shortest time possible. This is the last trump card for escape, at the cost of consuming all the reserve spiritual energy of the warship." The one who replied wasn't Huo yudie, but ao Tianba.

Lin Yi couldn't help but look at the guy in surprise. This guy was trying so hard to set him up, but he was still in the mood to answer his questions. It was quite strange.

Ao Tianba didn't even look at Lin Yi after that-he was deep in thought, veins popping up on his forehead as cold sweat poured down. It was a tough decision.

The others did not even dare to take a deep breath. The atmosphere in the command room and all the other battle posts connected to the sound transmission array was extremely heavy. Just as ao Tianba had said, the ten thousand mile formation was the last trump card for escape. Once it was activated, there would be no more spiritual energy stored. Whether they could escape safely in the end would depend on God's will.

"They're coming with ill intentions. If we only escape and not fight, we'll be seeking death. We can't escape!" Lin Yi suddenly spoke up. He knew that no one would listen to him with his status, and he might not be willing to say this under any other circumstances. Unfortunately, they were all in the same boat now, and if the boat was destroyed, he and ning Xuefei would be implicated. He had to think of a way to get rid of this stupid idea.

As expected, everyone looked at Lin Yi with disgust. This kid didn't know anything, and he jumped out at this critical moment to mess with them. They were facing five sea beasts, and they even had the Huashan whale as a meat shield. If they didn't run now, were they just going to wait for death?

"Why?" To his surprise, ao Tianba didn't get angry. Instead, he turned to Lin Yi with a serious face, considering his suggestion.

Lin Yi may be a layman, but his warning earlier made ao Tianba acknowledge Lin Yi's strength in his heart, even if it was a little embarrassing on his face. Personal grudges couldn't be settled in a time like this-they had to be in the same boat.

"If it's just these five sea beasts, we should be able to escape even if there's some trouble. But what if the big guy we're really facing isn't them?" Lin Yi said as he scanned the crowd.

Everyone was shocked. They immediately looked at each other in fear and uneasiness. This brat was truly a person who would not stop until he shocked them to death. The five sea beasts in front of them were already enough to put a mountain of pressure on them. Could it be that there was something even more brutal behind them?

"You also noticed?" Ao Tianba's question shocked everyone even more. It meant that even an experienced captain like him felt that there was a demon behind this!

Lin Yi couldn't help but think a little more highly of this guy. He only knew because of the damn thing's reminder, but he didn't think that this guy, who he thought was an idiot, could sense it too. As expected, a Big Boss in this position was no simple character!

"I admit that you're not simple, but you shouldn't look down on people too much!" Ao Tianba wasn't pleased with Lin Yi's weird look. "I've been on the ocean for more than three hundred years, and I've been in charge of this ship for seventy-five years. Although the scale of the sea beast horde this time was ahead of the others, if they didn't have any backing, how could these five sea beasts of the mountain Formation stage dare to challenge this ship? Hmph, I'm going to dig out my eyes and step on them!"

He wasn't just saying this for Lin Yi, he was trying to convince everyone! (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
