I can find treasures in my dreams.

ten minutes later.

General Ma glanced at the holographic sea chart again and saw that the sea monster legion had caught up to halfway.

The commander decisively issued an order: "Deploy the 'Sea Demon Type Ichisuke' anti-ship weapon."

"Yes!"

Each destroyer and frigate has two devices installed on its sides.

This is the Sea Demon Projector.

With the arrival of the era of superpowers, the responsibilities undertaken by the Great Xia Navy have also undergone tremendous changes.

Previously, destroyers and frigates were primarily responsible for area air defense, that is, countering missiles launched by enemy aircraft or other warships.

But now the logic of war has completely changed, and various mutated creatures have become the number one threat to Great Xia.

The Great Xia Dynasty knew long ago that marine life would undergo large-scale mutations, at which time all sorts of dangerous sea monsters would emerge.

The Sea Yaksha is one of many weapons created to fight sea monsters.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the sound of waves.

One after another, dark metal cylinders, each more than half a meter in diameter, fell into the turbulent sea.

The moment the cylinder comes into contact with seawater, its surface color changes instantly, becoming exactly the same as the seawater; you can't tell the difference unless you look closely.

This is clearly a disguise.

Water jets from the tails of hundreds of cylinders create thrust, which slowly disperses the water.

Fifteen kilometers away.

Gwyneth, the commander of the Sea Beast Legion, immediately noticed the change with her exceptional keen senses: "Something's wrong. It seems that the Great Xia warships have dropped something into the sea. Could it be a mine?"

Calvin, however, was unconvinced: "I know a little about naval equipment. This is probably a device like a sonar buoy, which is very common military equipment."

"I often follow the news of Great Xia. The Great Xia Navy has not changed much since the era of natural disasters. The main weapons used by the navy are missiles, torpedoes, rockets, and artillery."

"The noise you just heard matches the characteristics of which of the above weapons? So it definitely can't be an old-fashioned thing like a mine."

Gwyneth remained somewhat wary: "Really?"

Calvin provided compelling evidence: "We've been following the Great Xia warships for so long; if the Great Xia people were capable of detecting us, they would have found us long ago."

Gwyneth thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I was just overthinking it!"

However, out of caution, she instructed, "I will ride the sea beast in front, and you will follow behind."

Calvin, who had always harbored feelings for her, said upon hearing this, "You're the commander of the legion, so why don't I go ahead and scout ahead?"

Gwyneth hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Calvin took the lead, maneuvering the sea monster forward.

Driven by a subtle desire to prove himself to Gwyneth, he went to great lengths, employing a secret technique to locate a sea monster.

"Snapped!"

Calvin reached out and patted the metal barrel of the Sea Yaksha, laughing, "Gwyneth, it seems I guessed right. This thing is cylindrical, unlike a mine."

"This must be buoy sonar. The Great Xia people even applied a stealth coating to the surface of the buoy to hide it."

As he spoke, a small object hanging from his ear, which looked like a seashell, began to vibrate slightly, and this vibration was transmitted in a strange way.

soon.

The seashell began to vibrate.

Gwyneth's melodious voice rang out from the seashell: "It seems you were right, you are an excellent commander."

Calvin was very pleased, and didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark: "The technology that the Great Xia Navy developed during the era of natural disasters is just brushing optical stealth coatings onto sonar buoys. I've really learned something new today."

He paused, his tone brimming with pride: "All the navies on this planet are outdated; only the Sea Beast Legion represents the trend of the times!"

Calvin glanced at the metal cylinder and quickly swam over.

It wasn't that he didn't want to destroy the thing, but such an action might alert the enemy, so he did nothing.

He was in high spirits at this moment, and he increased the speed at which he controlled the sea monster to swim.

Another five minutes passed.

The sea monster chased the Great Xia warship to a distance of three kilometers. Fearing being discovered, it slowed down slightly and even dived to a depth of 150 meters.

But the Great Xia people's warships remained unchanged, continuing their leisurely journey towards Sal Island.

Calvin laughed: "Gwyneth, the warship is right above my head, and the Great Xia people still haven't spotted me. I don't see how the Great Xia people can defeat the Sea Beast Legion..."

The words are not finished yet.

He suddenly heard a series of extremely dense explosions.

"Bang! Bang!"

The location from which the explosion occurred was precisely the area where the sonar buoy had been located.

Calvin was startled, suddenly realizing something—Gwyneth's sea monster army seemed to have moved to that area.

He called out anxiously, "Gwyneth, are you alright? Answer me!"

But there was no response.

at this time.

A very strange shockwave suddenly swept over from the location of the explosion.

Calvin felt as if every cell in his body was about to burst.

This is clearly the power released by the explosion.

His heart felt as if it had suddenly plunged into an icy abyss.

Ruined!
Even though I was nearly ten kilometers away from the explosion, I still felt so uncomfortable. You can imagine how terrible the attack on the sea monster legion must have been.
Calvin wasn't stupid; he naturally realized he'd been completely fooled.

The Great Xia warships had clearly discovered the sea monster legion long ago, but pretended not to have found anything. They then secretly deployed a terrifying weapon, waiting for the sea monster legion to walk into the trap.

Those damned Xia people are too cunning!

The most ridiculous thing is that Gwyneth had clearly spotted the weapon, but he insisted that it was a sonar buoy, and he even patted the Great Xia people's weapon with his own hands.

Gwyneth believed him and led the sea monster army into the deadly trap.

Calvin was pale and his mind was a complete mess.

I am a sinner!

I killed everyone!

He looked up at the warship above, knowing he was unlikely to escape, and gritted his teeth, making up his mind—charge forward! Fight the Great Xia people to the very end!
This is his way of atoneing.
On the sea.

The moment the sea demon exploded.

General Ma and many soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty witnessed firsthand the terrifying destructive effects of this new type of weapon.

The seawater in the area where the explosion occurred suddenly became extremely turbid, with countless tiny bubbles rising to the surface.

Tiny bubbles continuously merge into larger bubbles, and this cycle repeats itself, eventually forming a massive number of visible bubbles that rise rapidly to the surface of the sea.

From the drone's viewpoint, this area of ​​sea, nearly one square kilometer in size, looked as if it had completely boiled over.

General Liu suddenly recalled a famous work and murmured a line from it to himself: "Destroying you is none of your business!"

Although he was not clear about the technical details of the Sea Yaksha, he roughly knew its principles.

Simply put, it releases some kind of supernatural force, turning seawater into a special "high-energy body".

High-energy bodies are unstable and can undergo extremely small "implosions," which is the fundamental reason for the formation of bubbles.

The sea monster legion was caught in the middle, and some of the water in their bodies also turned into high-energy substances. Implosion would occur inside them, which was an extremely painful way to die.

One second passed.

A voice reported the attack results: "Report! The supernatural derivatives have disappeared. The Pampas Independent Army's sea monster legion has been wiped out. Only the sea monsters under our fleet are still alive."

General Liu then ordered, "Launch the Sea Yaksha II to attack this guy, and try to capture one alive!"

He paused for a moment, then emphasized, "It doesn't matter if we can't catch him, since Mr. Spirit Raven doesn't care whether he lives or dies!"

"Yes!"

General Liu smacked his lips and casually made a disdainful remark about the Pampas Independence Army: "These guys don't even know what cutting-edge technology is."

He then remarked, "The higher-ups' persistent development of supernatural technology is a very correct path; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to wipe out the sea monster legion so easily."

The surrounding soldiers all nodded in agreement.

Just now, an Independent Army superhuman curiously patted the outer shell of the Sea Yaksha, just like a caveman seeing a bomb for the first time.

I really learned a lot today!

Underwater.

During Calvin's death charge, he encountered a fierce attack from the Sea Demon II.

The difference between Type I and Type II is that Type I is similar to a sea mine, and its movement speed is very slow.

The second type is a torpedo, which, thanks to the use of many advanced technologies, can reach a maximum underwater speed of 300 knots.

That translates to 550 kilometers per hour.

Naturally, the Sea Demon II version is more expensive.

General Liu set a trap precisely to save money, luring the sea monster army into a trap that resulted in their complete annihilation.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Explosions continued one after another.

With each explosion, a strange force descended, causing Calvin to cough up blood, and blood vessels would appear on every inch of his skin, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

"Woo~"

The sea monster let out a mournful cry.

It was much larger and experienced an extremely high frequency of implosions within its body. It was now on the verge of death and was sinking into the water.

"boom!"

Another sound.

Calvin could hold on any longer and suddenly lost consciousness.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally woke up.

This moment.

Calvin felt as if he had been run over from head to toe by a hundred fully loaded trucks.

pain!
It hurts so much!
He also felt extremely weak, barely able to move his fingers, and unable to open his eyelids at all.

The conversation came from the side and reached Calvin's ears.

"The quality of this batch of goods is very good. They must be the elite of the Pampas Independence Army. Their soul imprints are extremely strong... General Liu, thank you for your hard work!"

"Serving Mr. Lingya, serving the Great Xia Dynasty, is no hardship!"

Calvin was deeply shaken when he heard the term "Mr. Raven".

This top expert from Azure Star has arrived in Atinna and is dealing with the Pampas Independent Army.
What does "Mark of the Lost Land" mean? Does "Lost Land" refer to the Lost Land of Strange Beasts? Does the Great Xia people already know that this primordial perilous land is the Independent Army's greatest secret?

The crow's voice continued to drift over, making Calvin increasingly uneasy.

"Thanks to the Navy's assistance, as long as we absorb these Labyrinth Marks, we should be able to open the passage to the Labyrinth of Beasts smoothly. The survivor named Calvin has already woken up. Since he is a prisoner of the military, they can do with him as they please, even use him for experiments!"

Calvin shuddered, a surge of power rising within him, and he opened his eyes to see several figures, including Yang Fan.

His lips moved, and he managed to utter a sentence with difficulty: "Damn Great Xia people, you don't need to put on an act in front of me. I will not tell you any information about the Beast Maze."

Calvin absolutely did not believe that the Great Xia people had the ability to find the secret rift leading to the Lost Land, and therefore believed that the Great Xia people were deliberately putting on an act to trick him into revealing information.

This statement came out.

The eyes of everyone present turned strange.

But with the powerful Spirit Raven right in front of them, and no one dared to speak rashly since the powerful figure remained silent.

Yang Fan glanced at Calvin and asked with interest, "How many times have you been to the Beast Maze?"

Calvin remained silent.

But Yang Fan had already "heard" the man's subconscious thoughts: "Twice? That's less than I expected. It seems Thiago's mastery of his superpowers isn't very good."

Calvin was as if he had seen a ghost, and hurriedly activated a secret technique to try his best to protect his soul.

Yang Fan then asked a series of questions: "The place Thiago took you to should be a 'Lost Sea' in the Land of Beasts, right?"

"Did Thiago encounter an extremely powerful parasitic brain beast over there, and with its help, obtain the method to cultivate and control sea monsters?"

Calvin couldn't help but show a look of shock.

This is the Independent Army's biggest secret, and he can confirm that it has never been leaked. How could the Great Xia Spirit Raven know it?
Yang Fan shrugged: "So what you call secrets are actually worthless in my eyes."

He suddenly changed his mind, thinking that Calvin might be of some use, and said with a smile, "I'm planning to take a stroll through the Beast Maze now. Would you like to come with me?"

Calvin shook his head repeatedly, still disbelieving: "You couldn't possibly have entered the Beast Maze!" (End of Chapter)
