6391 The dangerous hidden reef passage
“Brother ao Tian is right. This is a great opportunity for us. As long as we can get a good result in the second round, the possibility of getting the final spot will be greater! If we can get first place in a row, we’ll have a bigger advantage in points!”
Lin Yi smiled. There was no doubt about ao Tianba’s sailing ability, and with his support, he had a high chance of getting first place.
If there were only three rounds of competition, as long as there weren’t any major mistakes in the end, it was basically equivalent to locking in a navigation quota in the Xuan class Sea area.
Even if there were more than three rounds of competition, they would still have a great advantage of being the first to strike. Compared to other opponents, they would definitely have a much higher chance of obtaining a spot.
As he spoke, the small rapid-speed ship had already charged into the sea fog.
Lin Yi’s worry wasn’t without reason. The sea fog’s effect on spirit sense was terrifying!
With his current divine sense, he could only extend about a hundred feet into the sea fog. If he entered the sea, he couldn’t even guarantee a depth of thirty feet!
It was no wonder that it was an unknown Sea area that no one knew about. He had no idea how he Hao’s Association had found this place and even found a safe sea route in this Sea area. They would not be able to do this without a few years of exploration!
“The sea fog here is very strange. Everyone, be careful.”
Zhang jinmiao’s face was serious. She was a master of earth creation completion, after all, and was the Dean of the mystic division’s Feiyang school. She had her own specialty in the area of spirit sense training, and although she wasn’t as good as Lin Yi, she was confident.
After feeling the sea fog’s powerful suppression on her divine sense, Zhang jinmiao understood that this test would not be so easy to complete.
She still didn’t know that Lin Yi’s spirit and consciousness were stronger than hers, but it didn’t matter. A few meters more detection range was meaningless to a small speed ship.
“Master, we can’t see anything in front. How do we find the right direction?”
Shangguan LAN ‘er was a little dumbfounded. She had seen Sea Fog before, but she had never seen such a thick Sea Fog!
The body of the small rapid-speed ship was not very big, with a width of only two feet. However, standing in the middle of the deck, one could not see the sides of the ship at all.
Zhang jinmiao smiled bitterly and shook her head. She didn’t have much experience in sailing, so how would she know how to find the right direction?
“Maintain the lowest speed, find the right course, and then measure the distance at the first bend!”
At the critical moment, ao Tianba ordered his Deputy, Lao Wu, in an extremely calm tone.
“Yes! Captain!”
“Yes,” the fifth brother replied in a deep voice. He then controlled the small rapid-speed ship to move forward slowly.
The most important thing about a small rapid-speed ship was its speed. Even if it was reduced to its lowest speed, it was still too fast for the current situation!
Before they could figure out what dangers lay in this sea, such a speed was quite dangerous.
Ao Tianba was also well aware of this, so he quickly paced back and forth on the ship. Because of the sea fog, his figure was like a ghost.
Shangguan LAN ‘er knew that the situation was not very good, but she could not help but laugh when she saw this.
“Fortunately, there are devices on the ship to detect the situation of the surrounding sea. If anything is wrong, we can give an early warning.”
Ao Tianba was busy for a while before he returned to the group and explained what he was doing with a relaxed smile.
The small rapid-speed Starship itself had the function of a Scout. Other than its slightly faster speed, it was actually more suitable for the current situation.
“Captain, there’s a reaction of hidden reefs!”
The fifth brother’s eyes lit up. It was good that they found something. Moreover, it was a hidden reef. This was the best comfort.
If they accidentally entered the hidden reefs, the ship would definitely be destroyed. However, as long as they could find the passage in the middle of the hidden reefs, they would be absolutely safe!
No wonder the passage on the map was winding. Now he understood that it was indeed one of the characteristics of a hidden reef passage.
“Very good! Pay attention to the entrance of the passage!” Ao Tianba waved his fist and was in a good mood.
This was a good sign! Once they entered the hidden reef passage, there was hope for them to complete this mission!
In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the small rapid-speed ship that was scouting along the edge of the hidden reef finally found the entrance to the passage!
If he still couldn’t find it, ao Tianba almost suspected that he had chosen the wrong direction and should have gone the other way.
“Good! I think we’re still the first ones to find the tunnel. Fifth brother, don’t worry, let’s see how wide the tunnel is!”
Ao Tianba was not in a hurry to enter the passage. The distance between the hidden reefs was basically the same, so the width of the middle and the exit was the same as the width of the entrance. Measuring the width first was extremely important for the possible encounters during the voyage and return.
The reef passage where Gu Yunhao had a conflict with could barely accommodate two ancient warships passing by each other. However, not all reef passages were the same. There were also passages that could only accommodate one small rapid-speed ship. He hoped that this was not the case.
“Captain, the measurement results are out. The width of this passage is not large, only about 80 feet. It is enough for a small rapid-speed ship, but because of the fog, if something goes wrong, there is probably no room for adjustment.”
Old fifth quickly told everyone the results. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either.
“I know! After entering the passage, because of the opposing attributes of the hidden reefs on both sides, the detection equipment will lose its effect. If we are even a little careless, we will lose!”
Ao Tianba wasn’t telling Wu what to do, but he was explaining to Lin Yi and the others what was going to happen next.
“Captain, don’t worry. I’ll do it without any problems!”
The fifth brother patted his thick chest and agreed with a smile.
The small rapid-speed Starship adjusted its direction slightly and slid into the hidden reef passage nimbly. Without the support of the props, old fifth began to rely entirely on his experience to control the small rapid-speed Starship.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, walked to the bow of the ship and extended his spirit sense to the limit.
“Lin Yi, can you see?”
Shangguan LAN ‘er came to Lin Yi’s side and looked up at him curiously.
“Well, I can see a little. Good eyesight, right?”
Lin Yi smiled and started chatting with her.
Fifth brother’s ability was amazing-Lin Yi’s spirit sense could clearly see that under his control, the small speedboat was moving ten feet along the right side of the reef as if he could see the edge as well.
“Really? How come I can’t see anything? Quick, tell me, what did you see?”
Shangguan LAN ‘er really believed Lin Yi’s words, and started shaking his arm.
