Chapter 408: Fear of Insufficient Firepower, the Mysterious Sea Reveals Its True Colors

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amidst the continuous sound of breaking through the air, each crossbow arrow was nailed to the bullseye with incomparable accuracy. The force was so strong that it soon shattered the target made of solid wood.

"All ten arrows hit!" After checking the results, someone shouted in great surprise.

You must know that this distance is at least four hundred meters.

Putting it on the previous hard crossbow, this is almost the limit of distance.

As a result, this newly produced crossbow achieved it very easily.

This result also surprised Qin Jianji, Shen Yunshen and others who came later.

"Is this the power of Guanzong's new product? It's not worth the money you spent to buy it." Qin Jianji said.

Zhao Ya was also quite surprised.

He thought this time was just a small facelift, but he didn't expect it to be a major upgrade.

Both accuracy and power are at least fifty percent higher than the previous crossbow.

Shen Yunshen didn't pay attention to this. He looked at Zhao Ya meaningfully, and then couldn't help but said: "I'm really a little confused about what is in the Wuwu Sea that makes you so afraid of Xiaoya."

"The equipment of the previous crossbow team was luxurious enough, but you still felt it was not enough, so you got so many repeating crossbows."

Zhao Ya smiled when he heard this, "Actually, it's not that I'm afraid, I just feel that the existing firepower is not enough."

In this regard, Zhao Ya is just like a certain big country, with a severe phobia of insufficient firepower.

"Is it enough now?" Shen Yunshen asked.

"It's barely enough. Of course, it would be better if there were more than 1,800 consecutive crossbows." Zhao Ya said.

Shen Yunshen and Qin Jianji looked at each other, both speechless.

After the new batch of repeating crossbows were issued, the members of the crossbow team were naturally greatly encouraged, and everyone couldn't put it down and caressed their new partners.

Zhao Ya didn't have much to say about this, and only announced two things.

The first is to allow these people to practice more intensively and adapt to the performance of the new weapons as soon as possible.

The second is to be prepared to deal with situations that may arise at any time.

After hearing these two things Zhao Ya said, the spirits of these people were all lifted up.

The bold one asked directly: "Temple Master, is there going to be a war?"

"Well, it is indeed possible!"

"Okay, don't worry. If someone really dares to come to our Canglong Temple to cause trouble, I guarantee that the crossbow arrows in my hand will teach him how to behave." The man responded immediately.

And his words also attracted a response.

"That's right, with this new weapon, I don't believe anyone else can be our opponent at Canglong Temple.

"Come on, I'm already a little horny!"

These members of the crossbow team laughed and laughed, and everyone was full of strong fighting spirit.

Zhao Ya just smiled slightly at this, "Don't worry, if there is a situation, it will probably happen in the next few days, so I want you to be prepared."

"Don't worry, Temple Master, I promise to complete the mission!"

Amidst the sound of promises, Zhao Ya turned around and left.

When he returned to the Qianshan library, Guo Luming also looked at Zhao Ya with a solemn expression.

"Are you sure something will happen over at Wuwanghai in the next few days?"

"According to the news from Kong Xiangdong, this year's Wuwanghai is obviously very unusual. Not only is it abnormally warm, but the polar night has not yet arrived, but it will be the beginning of winter in a few days. I don't believe that it is this solar term. Wuwanghai can still maintain the status quo.”

"So if something happens, it will be in the past few days!" Zhao Ya expressed his speculation.

Guo Luming also knew Zhao Ya's worries, so he remained silent until a long time later.

"Then what do you think will happen then?"

Zhao Ya shook his head, "No one dares to say this. It may be nothing, or it may be something beyond ordinary people's imagination and cognition."

"But no matter what it is, we have to be fully prepared."

The seaside of Wuwu Sea.

With the arrival of a new day, the faint ray of morning light that arrives in the eastern sky as promised dispels all the doubts of those who travel to the sea.

After the tide recedes, the seabed and beach are densely covered with all kinds of seafood.

There was no need for anyone to urge them, and there was no first-come-first-served order. All the people rushing to the sea rushed to the seabed like crazy, desperately picking up things.

In their eyes, this is not a piece of seafood, it is clearly an ingot of gold!

Liu Shiyi and his men were no exception. Although they were not numerically superior, they still firmly occupied a corner of the seabed through unity, so they gained a lot.

It was not until the high tide was approaching that these people reluctantly returned to the shore. After taking stock of the harvest, everyone was beaming with joy. The decadence that Kong Xiangdong had driven out of the team before was wiped away.

"Brother, we are rich! If we keep going at this rate, we will be able to earn a year's worth of expenses in less than three to five days!" Someone reported to Liu Shiyi with a smile on his face.

Liu Shiyi also let out a sigh of relief.

This abundant harvest not only greatly encouraged everyone, but also allowed him to gain a firm foothold.

You must know that although these people left Kong Xiangdong's camp with him before, they would inevitably have various complaints in their hearts.

But now all these grievances have disappeared.

Liu Shiyi laughed loudly and said: "Okay, everyone has worked hard. When we go back later, we must not come back drunk!"

The men under his command responded loudly, and then returned to their own camp with great interest.

With money, everything is easy. Even in this icy and snowy place, someone still sent wine and food.

The price was nothing more than a bucket of dried fish.

For Liu Shiyi and others who had a great harvest, it was not worth mentioning at all.

While people were drinking and feasting, Liu Shiyi secretly ordered someone to send out today's news.

Even if he was expelled from the team by Kong Xiangdong, the connections accumulated over many years could not be eliminated overnight.

Therefore, soon, the people under Kong Xiangdong also knew what Liu Shiyi and others had harvested today.

When they heard that the dried fish they harvested in just one day was enough to equal the previous month, even the calmest seafarers could not sit still at this time.

Although they did not dare to discuss it openly, they were afraid that it would be heard by Kong Xiangdong again.

But private discussions were still inevitable.

"It's really enviable. One day can be equal to the harvest of the previous month. What kind of concept is this?" Someone sighed.

"If you ask me, we should have gone to the beach a long time ago. After all, it will be too late to regret it later if we miss the opportunity and leave the money we picked up for free."

"Shh, the big boss said that the beach is dangerous. Do you want to die?"

"Nonsense, isn't it dangerous for us to go to sea? No one should pretend to be noble. Since we are out to do this, we should have put our heads in our belts long ago. Why are we afraid of the danger of a dog!"

These words full of resentment began to spread privately. Although they tried their best to avoid Kong Xiangdong and were afraid of being heard by him, Kong Xiangdong was such a person that he noticed it at the first time.

"Your men are complaining about you in private." Yang Zhan said with some gloating.

Kong Xiangdong didn't care at all. He said while drinking: "Go ahead and complain. Can I stop others from saying anything?"

"Aren't you afraid that your men will not be able to resist the temptation and sneak away?" Kong Xiangdong's calmness surprised Yang Zhan, so he asked.

"Haha, anyway, I have done my best. If they want to die, I can't do anything!"

"And it's only these few days. After a few days, when the beginning of winter comes, I don't believe these people can continue to jump around." Kong Xiangdong said very confidently.

Although Yang Zhan also believed it, otherwise he would not give up the good business at the seaside and follow Kong Xiangdong to the snowy mountains.

But he didn't know what kind of changes would happen to Wuwang Sea at that time, so he couldn't help asking.

"So what do you think will happen to Wuwang Sea?"

Kong Xiangdong's reaction was surprisingly similar to Zhao Ya's, "I don't know, and I don't want to know, but it won't be anything good."

In the next few days, the output of Wuwang Sea was higher day by day, which made these sea-hunters more and more crazy.

Although a very small number of people smelled the smell of danger, retreated bravely, and left the scene with a full harvest.

But the vast majority of sea-hunters were immersed in the fantasy of getting rich overnight and couldn't extricate themselves, and they didn't notice any danger at all.

And just as Yang Zhan said, some of Kong Xiangdong's men finally couldn't stand the temptation, quietly fled the camp, and joined Liu Shiyi's team.

Kong Xiangdong didn't stop it at all, and took a completely laissez-faire attitude.

In this way, time went around and around, and finally came to the day of the beginning of winter.

Kong Xiangdong tore off the old calendar early in the morning, and then stared at this brand new almanac in a trance.

The calendar is very simple. In addition to the beginning of winter, there are some negative stars and evil spirits.

This is also one of the must-have items for every leader of the seafarers.

At this moment, at the bottom of the calendar, there are several big red characters.

Do not take other things, and do not do anything.

Kong Xiangdong slowly exhaled, and did not order his men to go to the seaside to investigate the situation as usual, but put on a cloak and walked out of the camp.

After a whistle, the leader of the white-eating bird came quickly.

Kong Xiangdong first took out dried meat to bribe it, and then lay on its back.

The next moment, the leader of the white-eating bird soared into the sky and soon flew to the seaside.

It was still early at this moment, but a large number of seafarers had gathered at the seaside.

Kong Xiangdong lay on the back of the giant bird and looked down, recognizing many familiar faces.

Among them were Liu Shiyi and others.

These people had no idea that there was a pair of eyes in the sky watching them, but they were all concentrating on the Wuwang Sea in the distance.

Finally.

The tide began to recede, and then these people could not wait to rush to the exposed seabed.

Just like before, there was no difference.

Even today's seafood is more abundant than usual.

But just when these seafarers were picking up the sea with a smile on their faces, Kong Xiangdong in the sky noticed something wrong.

Because it was too quiet.

In the past, even after the tide receded, the Wuwang Sea was still turbulent, and it would never be as quiet as it is now.

Secondly, the ubiquitous fog is constantly surging.

This is not a good sign.

At least the white-eating bird leader sensed the danger and kept flying away.

If Kong Xiangdong had not been lying on its back and kept saying good things to it, it would have flown away by now.

But even if it was constantly comforted, the white-eating bird leader still seemed very irritable.

Finally.

The surging fog suddenly dissipated like a punctured soap bubble, and rushed towards the sea-hunters.

At this time, the sea-hunters finally realized that something was wrong, and when they looked up, they were scared to death.

"Oh no, the fog is rising!"

"Run!"

As sea-hunters, how could they not know the danger of the rising fog, so they all rushed to the shore.

Some of them who saw the opportunity quickly threw away everything in their hands, and they ran faster with light equipment.

But there were also some people who were willing to sacrifice their lives but not their wealth. Even at this time, they still refused to give up the fish in their hands. They ran hard and soon ran out of strength. It was too late to let go.

The fog swallowed them mercilessly.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Help!"

"I don't want to die!"

These extremely terrified screams echoed on the shore of Wuwang Sea, but the shouts often stopped abruptly and were swallowed by the fog.

This horrific scene scared the other seafarers so much that they fled to the shore frantically, wishing their parents had given them two less legs.

Liu Shiyi was naturally among them.

He had planned to do his last job today, and then take his men away from the northern snowfield to enjoy life outside.

But who would have thought that this last job would go wrong.

The surging fog made Liu Shiyi feel at a loss.

Although he had followed Kong Xiangdong for many years before, he had always been in command at the rear, and had never faced such danger personally.

He relied on his instinct to survive and kept running with the crowd.

But as he ran, he felt that there were fewer and fewer people behind him.

When he looked back, he saw a scene that made him shudder.

A seafarer who had followed him for many years was now entangled by layers of fog.

The fog turned into rope tentacles, tied up the man's hands and feet, and then drilled into his mouth, nose and five orifices.

The seafarer couldn't even struggle and scream, but his extremely distorted face showed his pain.

Then he was dragged into the fog and disappeared.

Liu Shiyi felt that the blood in his body was cold, and his hands and feet were out of control, so he could only stumble out.

But at this moment, a piercing whistle sounded from above.

Whether it was the seafarers running to the shore or still struggling on the seabed, they were all shocked, and then they all looked up. After seeing clearly, their faces showed extremely terrified expressions.

And Kong Xiangdong in the distance, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Because in the rising fog, a huge ship horn appeared.
