Chapter 3287 Assaulted

Looking at the inexperienced Xu Sheng, Gui Mei, who was sitting aside eating food, expressed full skepticism, "Xu Sheng, just how much longer until we reach Sea God's Island? I feel like you don't actually know how to steer a ship??"

Before we left, he had vowed with such certainty that there would be no problem!

Xu Sheng coughed into his hand, "It should be soon, and Elder Gui, please rest assured, if I wasn't confident, why would I dare head to Sea God's Island!"

Indeed, he had never operated a boat before, but, it shouldn't be anything difficult!!

What's more, they had already covered one third of the journey, it was definitely not possible to turn back now!!

Gui Mei still harbored doubts, "Really??"

Xu Sheng replied, unfazed, "Of course it's true!"

Upon hearing this, Gui Mei finally reined in his gaze, "Alright, I'll trust you one more time, but you better take care, we are already a long distance from the dock, and even someone like me, a Hyper Douluo who can fly in the air, might not be able to make it back!!"

He definitely didn't want to become food for a sea soul beast!!

Xu Sheng also nodded in acknowledgment and turned his attention back to the vast sea ahead...

However, beneath the calm surface of the sea lurked hidden dangers...

The water now rippled faintly, and the ripples kept multiplying...

In that moment, Xu Sheng's expression became grave, he thought to himself, "Something is not right, such large ripples across the sea surface, there must be something attacking from below!!"

The chances were that it was those sea soul beasts huddling together!

An ordinary Soul Master encountering this situation would most likely end up with a wrecked ship and lost lives!

But they were different, their personal strength was extremely formidable, and the boat had been specially repaired, its resistance was outstanding!!

Gui Mei, who had witnessed this scene, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? You seem very solemn!"

Xu Sheng glanced at him, "Elder Gui, come take a look and you'll understand!"

Upon hearing this, the latter leaned in curiously...

Once he saw clearly, he exclaimed, "What's going on with this ocean? It seems like something is about to emerge!!"

Xu Sheng replied calmly, "The creatures that live in this ocean are none other than sea soul beasts!"

Gui Mei spoke again, "What should we do then, avoid them?? With so many sea soul beasts, this ship may not hold up!"

Although the ship was decent, when faced with hundreds, if not thousands, of sea soul beasts, it was nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter!!

If they didn't come up with a plan in time, it would be dangerous!

Xu Sheng took a deep breath, "Elder Gui, no need to panic, as long as they aren't powerful sea soul beasts, I have a way to handle them!"

Gui Mei was slightly dumbfounded and pressed, "What way??"

Without answering his question, Xu Sheng stepped onto the deck and without hesitation, released his Martial Soul...

The eerily enchanting Nine-Hearted Begonia rapidly spread out and continued to extend, enveloping the entire ship in the blink of an eye...

Gui Mei frowned, "What are you doing?? Do you really think you can ward off the sea soul beasts with this? That's a bit too naive!"

If it were so easy to solve, then why would every sailor set out to sea with the expectation of not returning!!

"Elder Gui, don't worry, this level of defense naturally can't stop sea soul beasts, but..."

Indistinctly, a soul ring began to glow under his feet...

In an instant, the Nine-Hearted Begonia coiling around the entire ship started to emit bright crimson light. As they connected and merged with one another, they formed a massive barrier...

Seeing this, Gui Mei couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this your soul skill? How come I've never seen you use it before!"

```

He didn't even need to test it out to feel the terrifying defensive power of the barrier!!

With this in mind, there should be a possibility of withstanding the assault from the sea soul beasts!!

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "It's not just this, I bet Elder Gui isn't familiar with my other soul skills, right?"

So far in Martial Soul City, he had not shown his soul skills; most of his battles had been fought relying on his physical strength...

Gui Mei felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Hmph, I'm not complimenting you, but... with this barrier, as long as it's not some sea soul beast with ten thousand years of cultivation, it should be able to hold!!"

Xu Sheng didn't comment, "Hmm, if any powerful sea soul beasts appear, I'll be counting on Elder Gui to take care of them!"

Gui Mei raised her chin proudly, "Of course, mere sea soul beasts, I can dispose of them with a flick of my fingers..."

After all, she was a Hyper Douluo, to her, ordinary sea soul beasts were nothing but chickens and dogs!!

But just at that moment, the already restless sea began to quake violently and revealed whirlpools emerging one after another...

Following that, hundreds upon thousands of sea soul beasts surged out, and upon closer inspection, each one had a size comparable to a thousand-year soul beast on land!!

Their eyes, filled with killing intent, focused solely on the ship, without any hesitation, they powered through with all their might, slamming into the barrier...

"Bang bang bang!!"

The entire barrier emitted a series of deep, reverberating collision sounds...

This magnificent scene led Gui Mei to exclaim, "Tsk tsk, Although I had anticipated a significant number, I didn't expect to see quite a few thousand!"

"However, it's fortunate that the average life spans of these sea soul beasts are around a hundred years, they shouldn't pose much of a threat!!"

Xu Sheng, however, shook his head, reminding, "No... Elder Gui, look closely!"

Gui Mei was stunned for a moment and immediately noticed the abnormality...

"The light contained within this barrier seems to have dimmed a bit under the violent collisions..."

Xu Sheng then continued, "Yeah, at this rate, the barrier will eventually be destroyed!!"

Gui Mei raised an eyebrow and pursued, "Go on then? What's your plan!"

Since she was so composed, obviously, she had already thought of a solution!

The former answered truthfully, "Elder Gui, if I'm not mistaken, behind this horde of sea soul beasts, there should be a leader in charge of command!"

"If we kill that creature, the sea soul beasts will collapse without a fight!!"

The mastermind capable of assembling so many sea soul beasts was likely no ordinary opponent!

Gui Mei propped up her chin, pondering, "Makes sense... wait, you mean, you want me to take down that creature??"

"That's right, I need to defend this ship, and the task of killing the leader falls to you, Elder Gui!"

"Moreover, you are skilled in stealth, the sea soul beasts shouldn't notice you!!"

With that said, Xu Sheng cast a look of trust...

He was not worried about Gui Mei refusing because at this point they were both in the same boat...

If this ship were destroyed, it would be the end for all!!
