Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi blinked. The sea monsters wouldn\'t attack the fleet, and the weather was pretty good. There were no signs of a storm, so what did the alarm mean?

Although it wasn\'t the highest level of combat alarm, it was still an emergency alarm. They must have discovered an enemy.

Lin Yi didn\'t extend his spirit sense out, and he didn\'t find anything wrong within his sight. He couldn\'t confirm what was going on yet.

"Brother Lin, are you in trouble? Do you need my help?" Xiao Yi could feel the situation around them, so he asked Lin Yi enthusiastically.

The only way to contact him was in the sea. As long as he was in the sea, as a Prince of the sea beast clan, he had enough capital to say that he could help.

"I\'m not sure yet. If you need help, I won\'t hesitate to help. " Lin Yi smiled. He wanted to find ao Tianba and ask him what was going on, so he decided to end his contact with Xiao Yan.

"Brother Lin, just put your communication bead in the sea. I\'ll be able to notice what\'s happening on your side. I might be able to help you when it\'s critical." Xiao Yi seemed to have guessed Lin Yi\'s thoughts and quickly finished his sentence before he cut off the communication.

"Alright, I\'ll have to trouble brother Xiao then." Lin Yi thought that this was a good idea-it didn\'t take much effort anyway.

The guests on the ancient warship who heard the alarm all rushed onto the deck. Shangguan LAN \'er, the girl, probably had not started cultivating yet, also ran up with Zhang jinmiao.

Shangguan LAN \'er had been listening to Lin Yi\'s stories for the past few days, and she was very envious of him. Hearing the alarm, she didn\'t feel nervous at all, but was extremely excited instead. Her little face was full of excitement, and Lin Yi couldn\'t help but laugh when he saw her.

Ao Tianba didn\'t wait for Lin Yi to find him-he went to the bow deck.

"Brother ao Tian, what happened? Why aren\'t you commanding in the bridge, but on the deck?" Lin Yi looked at ao Tianba, surprised. The alarm was going off, and the captain wasn\'t giving any orders?

"Lil bro Lin, I\'m here to look for you, aren\'t I? if something were to happen later, I\'d still need your help in controlling the formation." Ao Tianba laughed and did not look too nervous. It seemed that the alarm was not enough to trouble him.

But Lin Yi had to control the formation-this wasn\'t a small matter, was it? Lin Yi was curious as to what happened.

"The lookout has discovered a fleet in front of us, blocking our route. From the flag, they should be my competitors. I don\'t know what they mean, so I asked everyone to be on guard." Ao Tianba lowered his voice and started explaining before Lin Yi could ask anything else.

"You guys may be competing, but are you guys going to fight at sea?" Lin Yi couldn\'t help but laugh. The fleet was a business, after all, and even if they were competitors, they didn\'t have to fight each other every time they met, right?

A battle between two fleets would only result in both sides suffering losses. It would not benefit anyone, so what was the point? It would make more sense if one side was a pirate.

"Usually, it won \'t. Everyone goes their own way, but the situation is special now. The location is very sensitive, so we have to be careful." Ao Tianba shook his head with a bitter smile, his voice somewhat helpless.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yi still didn\'t understand, and waited for ao Tianba to explain.

"On this trip to the East continent, there will soon be a redistribution of the fleet\'s route. Anyone who makes a living on the sea must participate in this meeting. If the other party takes the opportunity to attack us, we will have one less opponent to compete for the route. In addition, there\'s only a narrow passage in the sea we\'re in right now. Don\'t look at the surrounding sea surface as if there\'s nothing unusual, if we deviate from the passage, we\'ll be wiped out at any time. " Ao Tianba explained softly and quickly to Lin Yi, who finally understood.

He\'d heard ao Tianba mention the convention before, and he\'d wanted Lin Yi\'s help at the time. Even if Lin Yi didn\'t go to the East continent with Shangguan LAN \'er this time, he\'d probably send him an invitation.

"I know about these waters. Human ships can only pass through specific sea routes." Xiao Yan\'s spirit sense sounded in Lin Yi\'s mind, supplementing ao Tianba\'s words."In addition to specific sailing routes, there are microscopic creatures called hidden reefs growing under the sea. They are not sea beasts, but they are very destructive to ships."

"Once a ship enters the range of the hidden reef, many hidden reefs will immediately gather rapidly and form an indestructible reef. They will destroy the bottom of the ship, and this kind of destruction can ignore defense. Even the ancient warship under your feet will find it difficult to withstand it. If the hidden reef wasn\'t divided into yin and yang, and both sides didn\'t interfere with each other at a certain distance, your human fleet wouldn\'t even have a small passage."

Lin Yi was surprised by Xiao Yan\'s explanation. The world was indeed big, and there were all kinds of strange things. He had never heard of a hidden reef like this before, but in some ways, it was extremely powerful.

With the ability to ignore defense, it was useless no matter how powerful the ship was. It would sink in the end.

Lin Yi could finally see the fleet in the distance after ao Tianba and Xiao Yan finished talking. They had a few more ships than ao Tianba\'s fleet, especially the number of battleships. Other than the ancient battleship as the flagship, they had three large battleships for combat.

On the other hand, apart from the ancient warships, ao Tianba\'s fleet was made up of treasure ships. Although treasure ships had certain combat and defensive capabilities, they were nothing compared to large combat warships.

"The opponent\'s strength is not bad. Brother ao Tian, your competitor is a little strong." Lin Yi smiled faintly as he looked at ao Tianba teasingly.

"Hahaha, with lil bro Lin here, what\'s a few battleships? You won\'t just stand by and watch me get bullied, will you?" Ao Tianba didn\'t mind Lin Yi\'s teasing at all-he laughed and patted Lin Yi\'s shoulder.
