"So are we!"
Crisis, Fanny, and Bruno also stood up simultaneously, saying in unison, and even Jess, Lianna, and others nodded.
In an instant, the previously panic-stricken atmosphere stabilized, and everyone regained their high spirits.
"Then let's start the action now."
Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly and began the deployment.
Soon, a large fleet consisting of six fast ships and ten giant ships set sail towards that unknown land.
However, on the vast sea, no ships could be seen, only streams of white traces suddenly appearing on the sea surface before quickly disappearing.
Leo Ray stood at the bow of the giant flagship, gazing at the unknown territory drawing closer, taking a deep breath of the salty sea breeze.
The entire fleet's disappearance wasn't due to the illusion techniques employed by Elusa and Little Illusion, but rather the invisibility feature of Little Jie's Absolute Defense Barrier.
Although it's hard for Little Jie to maintain this while moving, now it was the ships moving, not Little Jie herself.
At the same time, I also reconfigured the lineup of strong ones, greatly enhancing the combat power of those initially weak giant ships.
"Your Majesty, look ahead quickly!"
Just as the fleet sailed at full speed for a while, the Minotaur captain on the deck lookout, full of astonishment, pointed towards the distant sea area.
Leo Ray squinted his eyes slightly, and before he could see clearly what had appeared in the sea ahead, an overwhelmingly strong and pungent smell of blood hit them.
Caught off guard, many Minotaur sailors on the deck started retching.
After a moment, Leo Ray quickly noticed that the sea ahead was filled with blood red, mixed with some yellow, green, and white viscous liquid, the source of the foul smell.
"This is the scent of sea monsters!"
Bruno quickly reacted, blurting out, "How is this possible? Their bodies are as hard as steel, and yet they were completely pulverized? Even a Tier 6 Peak expert couldn't achieve this!"
"This is the area of the spatial reshaping just now."
Jasper Richardson frowned slightly, explaining, "Under such near-heaven-defying repeated pulling power, this is not surprising."
"No wonder they guided us to stay on that isolated island initially; if we had appeared here then, the result would be predictable."
Leo Ray stroked his chin gently, pondering aloud.
"What Your Majesty of the Humans said is very true. It seems that before the stage is fully set, that invisible hand did not wish for us to leave the stage prematurely."
Shuert's aged wooden face showed a trace of agreement as he echoed.
"I see, no wonder the sea monsters, who were initially very restless, remained very quiet, not attacking us proactively."
Crisis still held onto the mast's ropes, suddenly understanding, "Being able to instill such fear in so many Tier 6 monsters, that power is truly incredible."
"At least it saved us a lot of trouble, otherwise we would have had to waste some effort."
Leo Ray raised an eyebrow, looking again towards that unknown area.
As Leo Ray's words fell, the unknown land shrouded in darkness began to gradually clear.
Compared to the isolated island from before, it appeared expansive, and Leo Ray could even see shapes like a harbor, dense and numerous, indicating it should be a port.
However, due to the darkness and the distance, it was hard to make out details even with all kinds of night vision capabilities.
"Your Majesty, something seems off."
After observing for a moment, Bruno's face showed a trace of confusion, eyebrows furrowed, "Those ships are docked haphazardly, looking unorganized, and no other port facilities can be seen; it doesn't seem to be a port."
"If it's not a port, why are there so many bizarre ships?"
Xiao Jing tilted her head, her face full of puzzlement.
"Don't rush, once we get closer, we'll know."
Leo Ray waved his hand slightly, continuing to focus on the unknown area.
After sailing a while longer, the confusion on everyone's faces grew instead of subsiding, as the scene before them revealed more and more ships of various kinds.
At a glance, there were not only warships like ours but also relatively smaller merchant and fishing vessels, alongside which stood castle-like colossal ships, their towering masts nearly piercing the sky, leaving our team agape.
More importantly, we couldn't see any land; even extending several meters away, there remained a dense sea of ships, with masts of varying lengths standing up, almost pressing against each other, gently swaying with the sea.
"Lord, could it be that the land we thought we saw was actually made up of these ships?"
Xiao Jing's eyes widened with astonishment, her white face full of wonder, "A land made of ships, it's simply unheard of!"
Hearing Xiao Jing's words, everyone present also displayed a trace of surprise, even though her words sounded fantastical, the current sight indeed confirmed them as the truth.
For a moment, the entire deck fell silent, countless question marks surged in everyone's minds.
If things were truly so, who created such a vast and astonishing scene? And why go to such lengths?
Even during the prosperous Silver Moon Era of the Ten Thousand Clans, no records have ever mentioned such an inexplicable situation.
In the center of them all, Leo Ray stood deep in contemplation.
However, what Leo Ray was most concerned about was not who built this stage, but the purpose of the invisible hand bringing us onto the stage.
The other party went to great lengths to draw us in, surely not just to showcase this breathtaking scene.
"Your Majesty, indeed there's no land, what we initially thought were shadows are actually countless ships!"
As Bruno's astounded voice echoed, we found ourselves very close to those interconnected ships.
Undeniably, the closer we got, the more awe-inspiring the scene became.
Smaller ships were often used as parts of a makeshift path, while larger ships were mostly joined together, forming an expansive enclosed space where the interior wasn't visible, nor its end.
"Things are getting more and more interesting."
As they were about to approach the mysterious area, Leo Ray gave the order for all ships to prepare to anchor.
Knowing this was the critical point of everything, naturally, they needed to explore it.
Feeling tension rising in his heart, Leo Ray's eyes also showed a trace of fervor.
After all, exploring a lost giant ship is not unusual, but exploring an unknown area made of countless giant ships is something few have done.
Once everything was connected, Leo Ray instructed part of the giant ships to remain on guard, and then, with over a hundred elite fighters, he leapt from the deck, landing quickly on another ancient and wide wooden deck.
This seemed to be a ship similar to a cargo vessel; though it still employed sail structures, its deck was extremely spacious, extending several hundred meters long.
After gaining his footing, Leo Ray instructed the fighters to search around while he surveyed the surroundings.
Standing here was far more immersive and astonishing than the distant view; this ancient, large ship occupied a higher position, allowing a full view of the nearby scene.
Everywhere he looked was a mosaic of countless ship decks, cabin tops, etc., resembling gigantic patches laid intricately; one couldn't see the end.
"Your Majesty of the Humans, there's a discovery here!"
Just as Leo Ray was in awe, Fanny's clear voice rang out.
