Chapter 288 Discovery of the Target Island
Archer spread his wings and circled endlessly in the sky, his powerful voice falling like raindrops.
His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, scanning everything around him.
He said with a solemn expression, "The fog is so thick today, it's like a white wall."
I really don't know if I can cut it open with my strength!
After he finished speaking, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, revealing his determination to give it a try.
Upon hearing this, Wu Heyi and the others beside him were about to stop Archer's reckless act, but before they could even speak, they saw Archer's entire body transform into nothingness in an instant, as if he had merged into the air, leaving only a faint trace.
Then, in the next second, directly in front of Wuheyi's flight path, like lightning slicing through the night sky, several blades of energy, each more than three meters long, appeared.
The blade energy gleamed coldly, exuding a chilling aura. Each strike seemed to possess its own consciousness, slashing straight towards the thick fog.
In just a moment, the thick fog that had seemed so real was suddenly parted as if by a giant hand, and Archer carved out a wide and bright road.
Through the newly opened road, a massive outline could be vaguely seen ahead, resembling the coastline of a huge, unknown continent.
Although the fog had not completely dissipated, a huge dragon head could still be vaguely seen. The dragon head exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it were hiding endless secrets.
Wu Heyi couldn't help but recall the two Soul Masters who had returned from their voyages to bring him good news. The scene shown in the video they presented was beyond what he had imagined. He secretly thought to himself that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the coastline in front of him was the goal he had been longing for!
Thinking of this, a hint of excitement and anticipation unconsciously appeared in his eyes. His heart was pounding like a deer. Just thinking about it made him feel an irrepressible surge of excitement!
Of course, Archer, flying high in the sky, had a wider field of vision than the others, so he saw the coastline at a glance.
His keen eyesight allows him to clearly distinguish things in the distance.
Seeing that his destination was in sight, he quickly folded his wings without hesitation and landed on the ship with clean and efficient movements.
Archer stood straight in front of Wu Heyi and said respectfully and solemnly:
"Your Majesty, our destination may be just ahead. I'll send two small boats over first, and we'll go ashore once we've confirmed there's no danger!"
He remained loyal and cautious throughout, consistently fulfilling his duties as a personal bodyguard.
The main ship carrying Wu Heyi slowly reduced its speed, while the two scout ships, each fully staffed with 100 people, accelerated without hesitation and headed towards the faint coastline, searching for a safe place to land.
Although the coastline could be seen in the distance, the ship was actually at least 100 nautical miles away from the shore.
This is a long journey, and the sea is unpredictable. Therefore, the scout fleet must accurately find a safe landing location and return safely. This requires facing many dangers and challenges, and it undoubtedly takes a lot of time.
Waiting is always so unbearable and boring, and everyone on the ship looked around anxiously.
After most of the day had passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the horizon was dyed a fiery red by the setting sun.
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating the return, one of the scout ships successfully returned.
The soldiers on the ship looked quite accomplished. They had carefully traveled forty or fifty nautical miles along the huge coastline, thoroughly surveying their surroundings along the way.
Finally, they found a safe beach without any reefs. The sand on the beach was fine and soft, and there wasn't a single dangerous reef in sight. They boldly went ashore, lit a fire, ate a simple meal, and only returned after confirming that there was no danger.
In order to return as quickly as possible to pick up the main fleet, there were fewer than 30 people on the returning ship, all of whom were skilled sailors.
Their ship handling skills were so adept that the ships sped toward the main fleet like arrows.
The remaining people were already busy on the beach along the coastline.
They carefully selected a location to set up camp, following the method pre-arranged by Wu Heyi.
Some were moving supplies, while others were setting up tents; it was a lively yet orderly scene.
After listening to the scout's report, Wu Heyi remained expressionless, but his eyes revealed excitement and anticipation. He immediately ordered all the ships to operate at full speed and land at maximum capacity.
He couldn't wait to set foot on that mysterious continent.
Wu Heyi and his men arrived at the huge beach that the returning scout ship had mentioned in just one night.
And indeed, just as the scouts had said, many busy guards could be seen on the beach.
They were in high spirits and carefully set up camp according to the rules set forth by Wu Heyi. Everything seemed so orderly.
In fact, under normal circumstances, given Wu Heyi's order to act at full speed, Wu Heyi and his men should have already reached the shore.
However, out of caution, he knew the wickedness of human nature and was very careful to avoid his subordinates betraying him for some reason and causing unnecessary danger.
He slept soundly on the ship that night, resting and recuperating while also observing the surrounding activity.
The next morning, after a night's rest, everyone on the boat seemed a bit tired. At this point, Wu Heyi decided to go ashore.
Just to be on the safe side, while everyone was sound asleep that night, Wu Heyi secretly sent Meng Xuanjun to investigate.
Meng Xuanjun is a special existence. His martial soul is pitch black, and his figure floats in the air like a ghost.
He had no complaints about Wu Heyi's orders. After all, it was late at night, and everyone was asleep, making it the perfect time for him to look for food.
Anyway, the guards on the shore were usually part of his supplies, so he could take the opportunity to secretly absorb the faint scent they emitted into the air.
After confirming with Mengxuan in the morning that there were no problems, Wuheyi decisively ordered the landing.
He straightened his clothes and stepped onto that mysterious beach with firm strides.
What Wu Heyi didn't notice was that Meng Xuanjun was in a completely off state today, and her eyes were filled with a sinister look!
Their movements also gave off a slightly zombie-like feeling!
