Chapter 455: First Glimpse of the Sea
Under the guidance of Jiang Guan, Bai Qi finally met Mo Guan, and Mo Guan was also a little surprised at Bai Qi's arrival.
"Bai Qi? I just heard from Lao Qin two days ago that you were going to come here. How come you are here so soon?"
"I was afraid of delaying the start of school, so I rushed on the way."
Bai Qi smiled. Although Gusu City was not a coastal city, it was located in the southern part of the Federation. With Delta's ability to travel through the void, it only took two days to get there if he traveled at full speed.
“Yes, you are still a student now.”
Master Mo Guan stroked his beard and suddenly said with emotion: "It's really hard to imagine that the person who just got the Beast Tamer's license half a year ago is now a sixth-level master. I'm old, really old~"
"Master Mo Guan, you are joking. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Bai Qi said.
Although he had only come into contact with Master Mo Guan when he was asked to conduct an assessment of the illustration materials, Bai Qi still knew of Master Mo Guan's reputation.
One man can guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot break through.
This praise is not something Mo Guan gave himself, but something he earned through hard work.
"With Bai Chuanqi here, there's no need to learn anything. I can only teach you some experience in fighting the enemy. "
Mo Guan stood up and said, "I just happened to be going to patrol the coastline now. Do you want to come with me?"
“I couldn’t ask for more.”
Bai Qi nodded. Although Jiang Guan had told him a lot, that was only the general situation of the Nanyuan Coast. He still had to know the details from Mo Guan.
The two of them walked out of the office together, but Mo Guan did not go out. Instead, he brought Bai Qi to a hall.
The hall was wide and empty except for a mechanical door in the middle.
However, this also allowed Bai Qi to be the first to notice that the mechanical door was different.
"Starry Sky Gate?"
Bai Qi looked at Mo Guan.
"That's right. There are often emergencies on the South Abyss Coast. In order to ensure timely support, the Federation has specially installed a Starry Sky Gate here."
Mo Guan nodded, and after verifying his identity, the starry sky suddenly opened.
"Let's go. I'll take you to see the scenery of the sea."
Bai Qi nodded and followed Mo Guan into the starry sky gate.
After passing through the Starry Sky Gate, Bai Qi suddenly smelled a unique salty smell from the seaside. Looking around, he found that he had arrived at the high wall he had seen before.
"This is the front line of defense on the South Abyss Coast, the Boundary Wall."
Mo Guan patted the wall beside him and said, "If it weren't for this wall, this place would have been occupied by some amphibious sea beasts long ago."
"Are sea beasts so aggressive?"
Bai Qi frowned slightly. He had always heard that the Ferocious Beast Tribe would often enter the federal territory to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that the same would happen in the sea.
"Although we haven't conducted any specific exploration, even if we know it now, the area of the sea is three or four times the area of the continent and more than ten times the area of the federation. How many extraordinary creatures do you think can be hidden here?"
Mo Guan smiled and said, "Competition in the sea is fierce, and some amphibians will come ashore to look for food. Although their levels are generally not very high, they can still pose a threat to ordinary people."
"So, they built a wall like this?"
"Of course not."
Mo Guan's face straightened, and he said, "The sea is too vast. No one knows when the sea beasts in it will run to the shore. If we don't prepare early, if an emergency really occurs, we will not be able to respond in time."
So that's how it is. Is it better to take precautions before it happens?
However, with such a small number of people, if one or two legendary sea beasts come, it seems that it is not enough.
At this moment, a huge shrimp covered with a solid shell and waving two ferocious claws emerged from the sea and headed straight for the broken wall.
This aura, is it from a legendary creature?
Holy shit, I just arrived at the sea area and I encountered a legendary sea beast attacking the city. How can I be so lucky?!
Moreover, Master Mo Guan, aren’t you a little too calm?
"Don't worry, this is Dinghai Legend, not a sea beast invasion."
Mo Guan smiled, and Bai Qi also noticed that there was a human standing on top of the giant shrimp.
"That's the water-related titled legend, 'Dinghai' Xiao Mu?"
Bai Qi was a little surprised and said.
"That's right. Xiao Chuanqi is active in the sea all year round. He rarely even returns to the inland of the Federation. He has always stayed here to suppress the rebellious sea beasts. Otherwise, we alone cannot suppress this huge sea."
Mo Guan smiled, and Xiao Mu had already arrived in front of the boundary wall. A powerful aura came over him, and the progress of the Evolution Egg, which had not moved for a long time, began to change rapidly.
Sure enough, pets that are titled as legendary are also very different from ordinary legends.
"Master Mo, what kind of creature is Xiao Chuanqi's pet? It seems that there is no record of it in the illustrated book."
Bai Qi asked Mo Guan with some curiosity.
"The pet encyclopedia doesn't record information about legendary creatures. It's normal that you don't know about them."
Mo Guan said: "This is Xiao Chuanqi's unique pet, a sea lobster, a dragon blood creature. In terms of its combat power in the sea, it has few rivals in this federation."
"Over the sea...lobster?"
Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly. The name Fu Hai was quite domineering. The dragon blood species was also good, and the shrimp was no problem either.
But this lobster...
Well, I feel a little hungry suddenly.
"Master Mo Guan, I have checked the nearby sea areas. There are no large sea beasts approaching for the time being. I will leave the rest to you."
Xiao Mu jumped off the giant shrimp, landed on the boundary wall, and said to Mo Guan.
"You're too polite, Xiao Chuanqi. This is my job."
Mo Guan nodded, then pointed at Bai Qi beside him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Bai Qi, who came to the Nanyuan Sea for training."
"Ming Huang's disciple, the youngest sixth-rank beastmaster, the father of spirit masters, and a genius inventor in the Federation. I know this young and handsome man with so many titles."
Xiao Mu showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "It's a pity that such an excellent seedling was snatched away by that guy Ming Huang. It seems that I really should go out more."
"Xiao Chuanqi is overpraising me. Bai Qi still needs more guidance from the seniors ."
Bai Qi bowed slightly, full of respect for Xiao Mu.
Being willing to stay here all year round to suppress sea beasts is very respectable, regardless of Xiao Mu's legendary status.
"Well, I'll go back and rest for a while, and then I'll talk to you in detail when I have time."
Xiao Mu was obviously a little tired. He exchanged a few words with Mo Guan before putting away the giant shrimp and quickly walked away.
"It's really not easy to be called a legend."
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but think of his teacher Bai Heguang. Although they had only known each other for half a year, he had hardly seen Bai Heguang have much time to rest.
Perhaps, it is because of this that their generation can grow up safely.
"It's always like this. You get used to it slowly."
Mo Guan smiled faintly and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the sea."
"good."
The two walked down the broken wall, and Mo Guan also summoned his pet, but it was not a giant golden-armored spirit, but a giant snail with iron armor on its back.
【Name】：Steel angle iron belly snail
【Attributes】: Steel, Water
[Bloodline Level]: Middle King
[Introduction]: Living on the seabed for many years has given the iron-bellied snail a strong defense. The seemingly fragile snail shell can withstand most impacts.
…
This was a creature Bai Qi had never seen before, and the Egg of Evolution was obviously very interested in it, prompting Bai Qi to step forward and make contact.
"Hmm? Is this a mechanical weapon?"
After walking around the huge body, Bai Qi saw some mechanical parts hanging on both sides of the snail's shell.
"Yes, this is the Dinghai Armament customized by the military, specially provided to the soldiers and beastmasters in the Nanyuan Sea area."
"Dinghai? Is this named after the legendary title of Dinghai?"
Bai Qi understood what he said, and the image of Jiang Guan's weapons appeared in his mind.
To stabilize the sky and the sea, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Mo Guan activated the Zhenhai Armament, and a thick layer of mechanical armor covered the snail shell of the steel-angle iron-bellied snail.
"Come up."
Mo Guan took the lead and climbed onto a seat inside the armor, motioning Bai Qi to follow, and then the Iron-Horned Iron-Bellied Snail led the two into the sea.
The iron-bellied snail moves very slowly on the ground, but very quickly in the sea. It quickly leaves the beach and dives into the sea.
"The size of sea beasts is indeed larger than that of ferocious beasts on land."
Bai Qi looked at the fish as long as a person swimming outside the porthole and couldn't help but sigh.
"These are not that big. You will understand once you enter the deep sea area."
Mo Guan said: "The sea is rich in resources and there are no external enemies, so the size of sea beasts is much larger than that inside, and this situation becomes more exaggerated the deeper you go into the sea."
Speaking of this, a look of relief appeared on Mo Guan's face.
"Fortunately, most sea beasts do not have the ability or desire to come ashore, otherwise the threat to humans would probably far exceed that of the ferocious beast tribe."
Bai Qi nodded slightly when he heard this. Indeed, regardless of the specific combat power of the sea beasts, their size and number alone were enough.
As the Iron-bellied Snail continued to move forward, the light around it became dimmer and dimmer. The Zhenhai Armed Forces also turned on various detection instruments to monitor everything around them.
"We're here."
Mo Guan stopped the Iron-Angled Iron-Bellied Snail and pointed to the neatly arranged giant metal monuments not far away. He said, "Up to here, it is the safe area of the South Abyss Coast. These boundary monuments will emit special frequencies to drive away some giant sea beasts, and will also report the nearby situation to us in real time."
"What about the position in front?"
Bai Qi understood, and then became curious about the world outside the boundary marker.
"Before that is the dangerous area where no one except Legends can guarantee safety."
Mo Guan's face straightened, and he said, "When you are training next, remember not to leave the area marked by the boundary marker. If you accidentally enter it and encounter a giant sea beast, flee immediately and don't fight it!"
"In a battle at sea, sea beasts have an absolute advantage. You must not take any chances. Do you understand?"
"In the past, many people went beyond the boundary monument rashly because they coveted the rich resources outside the boundary monument, but few of them were able to come back."
Hearing this, Bai Qi's ears moved immediately.
"Are the resources outside the boundary very rich?"
Mo Guan nodded and said, "The sea beasts that can survive in that area can themselves serve as a mobile resource library."
As he spoke, Mo Guan suddenly realized something and said, "Old Qin told me many times that you are here mainly to gain experience, and you must not go outside the boundary monument. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I definitely won't go."
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, his face full of obedience.
