Chapter 657: Mysterious Island
First it was the Five Heroes of the Undersea, and then it was the Leisure Bay. With so many familiar images and names appearing at the same time, Bai Qi was obviously a little overwhelmed.
"Can I ask how this name came about? Did it get spread by human pirates?"
Bai Qi sorted out his thoughts and asked.
"Pirates? I'm not very familiar with this term, but when we were still active outside, those people called themselves adventurers."
Octopus Star shook his head and said, "As for the name of the Weary Bay, it seems that it got its name because humans who enter it cannot find a way to escape no matter how hard they try."
"Well, that does make sense."
Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and reluctantly accepted this statement.
"But since that place is so dangerous, it would be too risky to let the sea beasts look for it. Why don't I go find it myself?"
Bai Qi was also very interested in the place where countless adventurers were buried.
"No, that place only affects humans, not us sea beasts. But if you want to go, Minister Bai, it's not impossible. From your human perspective, the scenery there is still pretty good."
Octopus Star Road.
"Well, let's just go and relax. But I can't guarantee that there is what you want, Minister Bai. I'll have someone look for it in the Crystal Palace's treasury."
Bai Qi nodded slightly, and Mingdian, who had been standing obediently beside him, immediately volunteered, saying, "I've been to that place before, so I'll lead the way for you, Big Brother."
"That's good. Young people should really spend more time together."
Octopus Star nodded slightly and said, "However, you have come from afar, why don't you take a rest first, eat something and then set off?"
As he spoke, Octopus Star paused, looked at Nicholas, and said, "Sir Nicholas, what do you think?"
Facing Octopus Star's question, Nicholas did not respond at all. He still looked serious, with bright eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this scene, the Five Elder Stars looked at each other, not knowing what they had just said wrong.
But soon, a light snoring sound came from Nicholas and floated into everyone's ears.
"this……"
Seeing that Nicholas had fallen asleep like that, even the Five Elder Stars who had lived for who knows how many years were a little surprised. Bai Qi even kicked Nicholas hard.
Even though the previous business meeting was really boring, you couldn't really sleep through it, right?
It would be fine if he just fell asleep, at least he slept with his eyes open, but he was actually snoring, that was too much.
After all, you are a demigod, so at least pay attention to your image.
"Hmm? Are you done?"
Nicholas came back to his senses and asked blankly.
"It just ended."
Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, then he looked at the Five Elders and said, "Don't worry about eating, let's go to the Faithful Bay first. I have something else to ask of you after we come back."
As it concerns his seventh pet, Bai Qi is quite looking forward to it.
"That's fine, let's wait until you come back."
Octopus Star looked at Mingdian and said, "You guys, entertain Mr. Nicholas and Minister Bai well, don't neglect them."
"clear!"
The Thirteen Protectors nodded repeatedly, looking very serious.
It would be fine for others, but facing Bai Qi and his group, he would not dare to neglect them even if the Five Elders did not say anything.
After all, they were defeated by Alpha with just his sword in the past. At that time, Alpha was the king. Now he is a legend, so they are even more afraid.
The group exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the Five Elders left first, followed by the twelve legendary sea beasts.
As the management team of the Deep Sea Alliance, they are also very busy now. If they hadn't sensed Nicholas's demigod aura, it would be difficult for them to gather together like this.
"Big Brother, are we leaving now? There is still a long way from here to Leisi Bay."
"Then let's set off early."
Bai Qi nodded slightly, while Zhuge Chen waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I still have to go to the site for inspection."
"All right."
Seeing this, Bai Qi did not force it and followed Ming Dian and his group out.
"By the way, why don't I see Dinghai Legend and the others?"
"Big Brother, you are talking about Councillor Xiao, right? He should be exploring deep in the sea now. It will probably take a few days for him to come back."
Ming Dian said, "What's the matter, big brother? Do you have something to ask Councillor Xiao?"
"It's okay, just asking."
Bai Qi shook his head, looked around, and said, "Besides Councillor Xiao, do other councillors usually show up?"
"No, except for Councillor Xiao who occasionally comes over when he returns from an expedition, other councillors rarely show up, and the Five Elders rarely show up either. It's basically our father and the others who are in charge."
Well, including the Speaker, these congressmen are indeed the kind of people who are just responsible for taking the lead and not taking care of anything else.
Tsk tsk…
Suddenly he didn't feel so guilty about his previous similar behaviors.
Just as Mingdian said, the distance from the Crystal Palace to Leisi Bay was very far. Even if Mingdian tried his best to get there, he still arrived at dusk.
A layer of mysterious mist covered the sea, and under the reflection of the orange-red sunset, layers of faint golden ripples appeared on the sea surface.
In the distance, a small island is vaguely visible, and the white sand beach surrounding the island can be vaguely seen, blending with the surrounding sea water, presenting a tranquil and mysterious scene.
"Is this the Leisi Bay? It doesn't look like anything special."
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes and looked around for a moment. Apart from feeling that his vision was a little poor, he didn't find anything special.
"There's really nothing special to see now . We'll know after we get inside."
Mingdian explained: "This island is a little special. It interferes with human perception, so those humans cannot get out after entering the Weary Bay."
"I see. It's similar to magnetic field interference."
Bai Qi understood what he said and said, "But how do you sea beasts come and go here freely?"
"The way we sea beasts perceive things is different from humans, so it won't have much of an impact."
Mingdian and the other Thirteen Protectors exchanged a glance, smiled, and said, "But Big Brother, you are already a legend now, so naturally it won't have much of an impact."
"Um."
Bai Qi nodded slightly and followed the Thirteen Guardians into the Leisi Bay area.
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Qi entered, he noticed that the surrounding sea seemed to be a little abnormal. His mental power, vision, and even hearing seemed to have some errors.
Crunch.
(Boss, there is something on that island that is interfering with our cognition, but it is very weak.)
"I see. This must be the special thing that Mingdian mentioned."
Bai Qi nodded slightly, looked at the small island in front of him, and then retracted his gaze.
Just after entering the Leisi Bay, Bai Qi saw several large ships stranded on the reefs. Judging from the materials, they should be the creations of the previous Federation.
But this reef is very obvious, and there is nothing around it that would affect navigation, as if these ships had crashed straight into it.
Needless to say, these people must have been disturbed by that special power, causing their perception and judgment to be wrong, which is why they died here.
Such cases became more frequent the closer they got to the island. When Bai Qi arrived at the beach, there were even several ships that had been sunk by their predecessors' ships.
"It seems that this place has more secrets than I thought."
Bai Qi looked around. These ships were of different ages, but they were able to get here, so it was obvious that they had some kind of navigation skills.
Moreover, considering the history of human development, those who can go out for exploration must bring a beastmaster with them. If they cannot even go out like this, it will not only affect human perception, but also pets.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi summoned all six pets .
"Shuke, can you detect the data of this island?"
Bai Qi asked Shuke first.
"Electromagnetic interference detected, please wait."
Shuke looked around, and then a sphere extended from his body and quickly flew into the air. Then, a bird's-eye view appeared in front of Bai Qi.
"Why is it so blurry?"
Bai Qi asked, looking at the distorted screen that looked like the old black-and-white TVs.
"I have already released anti-interference monitoring satellites, but it seems that this still doesn't work."
Shuke shook his head and said, "It seems that the interference here is not just electromagnetic."
"Let me give it a try ."
Jerry opened his eyes upon hearing this and spat out dozens of dead souls, which flew off in all directions.
But after waiting for a long time, those dead souls did not come back.
"Sure enough, this place can interfere with spiritual connections. I have lost contact with those dead souls."
Jerry and Shuke looked at each other, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "Master Beast Tamer, how did you find such a strange place again?"
"I didn't discover this. Mingdian and the others brought me here."
Bai Qi shrugged. Modern technology and spiritual perception were unable to see through the environment here. No wonder this place caused so many ships to sink here.
"By the way, Mingdian, you just said that your sea beasts have different ways of sensing. Where exactly is it?"
Hearing this, Mingdian shook his slender body and said, "Most of us use our skin's perception of the seawater to make judgments. There are also some other ways of perception that can prevent us from being affected by this place."
"In fact, it's not always avoidable. At least I've seen many low-level sea beasts trapped and died here."
The bloodthirsty manta ray pointed to some animal skeletons deep in the sea below and explained.
"I see."
Bai Qi nodded slightly and suddenly lost some interest in the harvest of this place.
It is obvious that those trapped here are not strong, and it is obvious that the things they left behind are not good things.
It seems that I can only go back to the Crystal Palace and look for it in their treasury.
Although it would be best if it was a weapon or armor, he could accept something like a scale.
Anyway, possession is basically a standard feature of the equipment system, so let it be a little weird.
