Chapter 336: The people of the Beast God with a peep
The Penglai Fleet claims to the outside world that it is exploring marine resources and the emperor is conducting scientific research on marine ecology.
The matter of the orcs is naturally still in the confidentiality stage. If it is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar.
Now standing in this position, Lu Xingshi also understands one thing: for a dynasty, stability is more important than justice.
He needs Yan State as a source of power value to deliver gold coins to him, so he must ensure that there is no problem with the power value. Even if it does not increase, it cannot fall.
"Your Majesty, your tea." Wang Ling held a cup of tea and handed it over.
Lu Xingshi nodded slightly and took it.
"After we left the land, I always felt that there was a subtle peeping eye on us." Lu Xingshi took a sip before saying.
Wang Ling was greatly frightened by these words. If someone spied on the emperor, he must have some evil intentions. He immediately wanted to recruit someone to investigate.
But he was pushed down by Lu Xingshi.
"Don't worry, there is no malicious intent, it's not an assassination attempt."
"Besides, what are you afraid of when I'm here?" Lu Xingshi was speechless.
Precisely because the other party was just observing without any malicious intentions, Lu Xingshi did not take action.
Otherwise, if the slightest bit of malice really surfaced, Lu Xingshi would directly use the Jade Emperor's shadow to let the other party know what a behemoth was.
"The ocean is the other party's territory, and we are outsiders. Before we completely break up, harmony is necessary." Lu Xingshi drank the tea in his hand and said.
"I understand." Wang Ling took the tea and realized what he was afraid of with Lu Xingshi here.
"Then do you need me to test the other party?"
Although Wang Ling felt relieved, he still felt uneasy because something was spying on them.
"No, even I can't find where he is, where are you going to find him?" Lu Xingshi chuckled.
It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's difficult to implement.
He could be sure that peeking into his existence was probably the so-called beast god.
It was impossible for Chi Tian. He had faced Chi Tian directly, and the opponent was more like a set of rigid operating procedures. It would be impossible to develop highly intelligent logical thinking like Black Sky without hundreds of thousands of years.
The beast god may be the real executor.
Before, he thought it was just a mascot, but now it seems that the other person has enough self-esteem and is even unusual in logic.
Lu Xingshi is certainly not afraid of head-to-head confrontations. He can kill Hei Tian. Lu Xingshi also has a chance of winning against Chi Tian who was just born.
As for the Beast God, his observation can be sensed by him. Not to mention killing the opponent instantly, there is a 90% probability that he can kill the opponent.
It was precisely because the other party saw the threat in Lu Xingshi that he did not dare to come forward.
The ancestor's projection, which he couldn't even sense at the beginning, still couldn't withstand his punch.
"As ordered." Wang Ling was unwilling and finally retreated.
He knew that without Lu Xingshi's support, this matter would not be accomplished at all. Even if it was accomplished, it would only be self-defeating.
After Wang Ling left, the voyage continued. The fuel of the Penglai fleet was Zhenqi, provided by Lu Xingshi. There was no need to worry about food. There were a large number of supply ships following them, and Lu Xingshi was still there, so there was no shortage of food.
Lu Xingshi looked at the sea and suddenly saw a strange creature resembling a human figure in the sea.
"Manatee, how come this thing exists?" Lu Xingshi could see clearly that it was a heterogeneous manatee. Of course, he didn't know what species it was after it had bloodline.
He had only been sailing for a few days. First of all, there were no manatees in the Yan Kingdom. If he hadn't come from modern times, he wouldn't have recognized this ugly thing that looked like a mermaid from a distance.
"That means there are islands around it."
Manatees are creatures that live along the strait. Even if they are alien species, they are not so different that they can live in the ocean for a long time.
"Wang Ling, are you going the wrong way?" Lu Xingshi shouted.
According to previous experience, there are no islands or land in this area, but now there is a manatee. Even if it is a different species, it is still a manatee and not a wild cow.
"Ah?" Wang Ling heard the movement and rushed over immediately.
"Don't, hurry up and take a look." Lu Xingshi complained.
Yan State, whose navigation industry was extremely backward, also had its shortcomings.
Wang Ling looked confusedly at the surrounding ocean, which had no reference at all, and finally came to his senses: "Your Majesty, we need to wait until night to determine the position based on the stars."
"I will ask someone to clarify your doubts immediately." Wang Ling is the admiral of the navy, a managerial and administrative staff. Let him deal with river defense affairs. This can also be a professional counterpart, but let him deal with maritime matters. no way.
It was already great that he was able to come back last time. Even if he went to Haikou by mistake, thanks to the vast territory of the Yan Kingdom, otherwise he really wouldn't know where he would have gotten lost.
However, it does not mean that there are no professional personnel. Star officers, sailors, etc. can also serve as part-time personnel.
"Go ahead and invite people over to make a judgment." Lu Xingshi was a little tired. As for tools such as sextants and quadrants, Lu Xingshi had only heard of their names and had no idea what they looked like. Even in the ocean It’s not clear what its function is, and he must have the corresponding knowledge if he wants to reproduce it.
Even if you deduce it, you should at least know what this thing is used for. Lu Xingshi could see the stars, but he didn't know what happened last time, so it was useless to look at them.
On the other side, he was paying attention to the surrounding situation. He always felt that the manatee mutant just now was a bit strange.
In the blink of an eye, he got into the sea and didn't know where he went.
A star officer came over quickly. After distinguishing the position of the sun, his expression showed surprise.
"Your Majesty, we have indeed deviated from the course, but we shouldn't have." The star officer was also trembling, and his original shock turned into fear.
"Don't be impatient. Tell me slowly what's going on." Lu Xingshi's expression became serious.
Xingguan quickly took out his diary and started comparing it. He explained nonchalantly, but Lu Xingshi did not interrupt.
The overall meaning is that they didn't go wrong, but they went wrong.
"The time is wrong." Lu Xingshi said, "You only considered the stars, but you ignored the ocean currents."
Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Xingshi could only patiently explain.
He also ignored this. After all, Lu Xingshi was not a professional navigator.
"Your Majesty means that if we set off at the same time every year, we can return the same way?" Wang Ling's eyes widened.
"Absolutely, but it doesn't matter, we've already gone astray anyway." Lu Xingshi said helplessly: "This time we are here..."
When Lu Xingshi said this, he suddenly stopped and his eyes sternly said: "You guys wait here for a moment."
As he spoke, Lu Xingshi disappeared in an instant and arrived at the bottom of the cabin in an instant.
"You actually discovered me?"
The manatee mutant he saw before had just sneaked into the battleship he was on.
Then Lu Xingshi noticed it immediately.
This is not the point. The point is that this manatee mutant actually speaks, and he can understand it.
First of all, his translation module does not recognize animal languages, which means that the other party is not a mutant beast, but a mutant belonging to humans, that is, orcs.
But judging from the appearance, the other party prefers manatees.
Lu Xingshi didn't really want to guess where this manatee orc came from, but he was certain that one of his parents must be a manatee, and the other must be a human.
Thinking about it makes me a little confused.
"Who sent you here?" Lu Xingshi asked immediately after capturing the manatee orc.
"As an outsider, you are the first to enter the realm of the Beast God." The Manatee Beastman retorted to Lu Xingshi in the weird language unique to the Beastman.
The other party was right in what he said. In terms of succession, he was indeed the first, and Lu Xingshi and the others were the latter.
Moreover, Lu Xingshi also discovered that the IQ and level of civilization of this manatee orc were far higher than those brought back by Wang Ling.
This made Lu Xingshi's heart sink. The speed of evolution and development was indeed beyond imagination.
"I am very interested in the beast god you believe in. I wonder if you are willing to promote the greatness of the beast god?" Lu Xingshi asked.
The words of the manatee beastman made Lu Xingshi certain that the existence that was looking at him just now was this beast god.
"You come here with bad intentions, I refuse." The manatee orc looked determined, and he had his own beliefs.
Lu Xingshi asked calmly: "Your tribe must be in the surrounding area."
Threats are effective.
"They are also believers of the Beast God." There was obvious panic in the Manatee Beastman's eyes.
"I need you to lead the way." Lu Xingshi changed the topic: "It doesn't have to be your own tribe, it can also be your enemy."
"With your life, I can get rid of an enemy while staying away from your tribe. You got what you wanted, and I got what I wanted." Lu Xingshi said.
At this moment, the manatee orc obviously hesitated.
Lu Xingshi also understood that there were not only the Manatee orcs nearby, but also other orc tribes.
"If you miss this opportunity, it will be your own loss. And if you don't distract me, if we happen to arrive at your tribe, then..." Lu Xingshi threatened with a sneer.
"I am willing to lead the way." The manatee orc understood that what Lu Xingshi said about "just right" was definitely not a good word.
"That's great. I hope you won't disappoint me. I have enough time." Lu Xingshi naturally didn't believe what the other party said, but he didn't care. He just needed to find an orc tribe.
Although the orcs are distributed on the island, they do not seem to have lost contact, but are still attacking each other.
But it is normal. After all, war can quickly promote the progress of civilization, even if the cost is extremely bloody death. At present, the orcs do not have enough autonomy to refuse war.
Judging from the population of the orcs, the war is not likely to be big. A fight at the entrance of a village can be regarded as a large-scale tribal war. Lu Xingshi does not have to worry about encountering a battle with more than a thousand as a unit of numbers.
