"A mantis trying to stop a chariot?" Zhang Chenran frowned, "Is it that serious?"
"This is not your concern." Li Yun waved her hand and continued to talk about some more important matters.
After listening to this, Zhang Chenran smacked his lips and said, "I want to go into the sea."
"Do you want the sea monster to come to land and investigate for you?" Li Yun asked unhappily, "Why, are you scared?"
I have a fear of the deep sea. Zhang Chenran did not answer her.
...…
By night, the team had packed up and moved to an island below Haizhu City.
"We've been investigating for so long, and now we're really starting to take action?" Zhang Chenran couldn't help but say.
"What we are chasing is the emperor, not the commander-level or monarch-level monsters. If we are careless, our entire army will be wiped out." Li Yun reminded.
"I understand." Zhang Chenran nodded.
Not long after, the three senior water mages who were in charge of reconnaissance came back with reports.
"There is a coral patch on the seabed ahead where we can set up camp," said the senior water mage.
When performing missions in sea areas, setting up camp is the most important thing. Otherwise, if you encounter special situations and cannot respond in the first time, the entire team will be killed.
"How many water mages are there in the team?" Zhang Chenran asked.
"Two-thirds are water mages, one-third are shadow mages, and the weakest of those who specialize in these two magic arts have cultivation at the super level two." Li Yun made a rough estimate.
The personnel dispatched for this mission are all mages who can burst out extreme speed in the sea, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
The combat power of the sirens is three times that of the land monsters. In addition, the sea has restrictions on many magics, so only water and shadow mages can maximize the tolerance rate.
"Then who are you?" Zhang Chenran turned to look at her.
"This is my first time studying water system." Li Yun glanced at him and saw the word "contempt" in his junior apprentice's eyes.
It's not malicious or deliberate contempt, it's simply the unintentional contempt of the strong for the weak.
You are so great with the half-forbidden spell. Li Yun's mouth twitched.
She knew that Zhang Chenran majored in shadow and minored in space. She thought that these two subjects were already semi-forbidden spells, and they could burst out powerful combat power in the sea.
Undersea coral area.
The water superior forms a barrier that can maintain oxygen within it.
If you want to go deep into the ocean without a powerful water mage, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Since the coral sea where the team was located was not very deep, it did not require too much magic power to maintain the advanced barrier method to
set up the barrier. Soon an area with oxygen appeared, and the military equipment brought by the team was quickly deployed.
Zhang Chenran took this opportunity to use his dragon sense to detect. After scanning the area, he couldn't help but sigh,
"These sea monsters are hiding very well. They are almost merging with the corals. The sea here shouldn't be very deep, right? A monarch-level monster appeared so soon?"
"Monarch level? Where is it?" Song Qiming walked over.
Zhang Chenran pointed downwards:
"The trench diagonally below is covered with a gray-green reef skin, and there are a bunch of coral fins, fish forelimbs, and frog-like creatures on the hind limbs. It hides in a hole and sleeps."
"Can you see it?" Song Qiming looked at him in surprise.
"I have a magical tool with very strong perception. It can silently detect the range of monsters around me." Zhang Chenran explained.
Song Qiming nodded and returned to the superior in charge of the survey.
"There is a monarch-level creature in the trench below, and there are a huge number of demons near it. It will be difficult to deal with them." said the surveyor.
There really is a monarch-level creature. Song Qiming turned around and glanced at Zhang Chenran.
To be honest, as a forbidden spell mage, it was difficult for him to accurately sense the trench diagonally below. Those sirens who restrained their breath could hide themselves perfectly in the deep sea.
If they are not moving, or if they are not surveyed with sophisticated instruments, it is difficult to detect signs of life.
The surveying equipment used by the military this time can be said to be of the most advanced type. It can release perception ripples while being difficult for the sirens to detect.
"Can it be avoided?" Song Qiming asked.
Although killing some small monsters will not have much impact, there is no need to have a head-on conflict with the sirens if you can avoid unnecessary trouble.
The surveyor shook his head.
"That trench is a shortcut that is accurately recorded in the intelligence. If we want to avoid it, we will have to spend more time."
"Then clean it up"
Song Qiming called twenty mages, including Zhang Chenran and Li Yun.
"The Perception Tower detected that there are monarch-level creatures and blood-level sirens on the surface of that trench. That is our only way out, and we must clean it up as quickly as possible."
He said, pointing to Zhang Chenran: "Let him lead you."
Nineteen strong military men looked at Zhang Chenran in unison. Except for Li Yun, they all felt that this guy was very strange and they had never seen him before.
"I don't understand. Wouldn't it be better if I led the team?" One of the water mages named Tang Qin frowned.
His water-related skills have reached the super-level. He has completed many underwater missions before and is very experienced.
"He is a semi-forbidden spell of the shadow system, and can accurately sense the big monster in the trench." Song Qiming gave an explanation.
When Tang Qin heard this, he shut up obediently.
He should not be from the Southern Military Department. I don't remember there being such a young, newly promoted top shadow official. The other powerful military men all had the same idea.
"Remember, act quickly." Song Qiming said.
"clear!"
Twenty super-class top-level warriors displayed their magical powers, transformed into elusive figures in the sea and drilled into the trench.
I have a fear of the deep sea. Zhang Chenran smacked his lips. If it weren't for his dragon sense that could capture accurate information about the surroundings, he might have hidden behind everyone.
This place is hundreds of meters away from the sea surface, but the huge trench gives people a feeling of darkness, claustrophobia, fear and coldness.
God knows what kind of monsters are hiding in that trench. Just looking at them is chilling.
When he was about to take action, Li Yun grabbed him and kept gesturing with his hands.
Zhang Chenran was confused and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
I forgot that this guy is not from the military, has not received any training, and doesn't know sign language. Li Yun slapped his head, wondering how could he have forgotten such an important thing.
The superiors near her understood what it meant:
"It's a coral fin monster!"
Li Yun wanted to use something else to express what she wanted to convey, but ended up slapping her own butt with a hand.
There was resistance in the water. Li Yun saw who was slapping her butt and stared at him with her beautiful eyes.
Wrong shot. Zhang Chenran didn't expect her to suddenly move upwards, and his hand fell on Li Yun's plump, round buttocks.
He pointed to his head.
What does that mean? Li Yun didn't understand, and then Zhang Chenran's voice rang in her mind:
"Can you hear me?"
Li Yun was stunned for a moment, then heard him say:
"You just need to answer me in your head."
