Chapter 157: Lost
The bow of the Dayun crashed into the waves. Feng Xue looked at the outline of the island shrouded in mist in the distance. Copper coins rose and fell repeatedly, and hexagrams emerged with them.

"Kan is on top and Xun is on the bottom, Feng Shui is Huan. If the king has a temple, it will be beneficial to cross the great river..."

"The host is weak, the guest is strong, like a king entering a temple. Although he holds a high position, he has something to ask of the guest (the deity). He should use his own advantages to seize the initiative, taking advantage of the guest's strength but lack of initiative to develop himself... This hexagram is quite appropriate (Note 1)."

Looking at the relevant documents provided by Xiao Lingdang, Feng Xue roughly interpreted them and secretly sighed that the things of our ancestors were indeed very effective. After taking this reassurance, Feng Xue took a deep breath and said:
"Keep going. Even if no one is chasing us, we should pretend they are!"

……

The moon gradually rose, and after preparing her midnight snack, Liu Yunxi began her practice. Feng Xue stood at the bow of the boat, constantly switching between the Qi-gazing technique and the Tianshou technique, trying to find something unusual.

Since breaking through the blockade an hour ago, they have not encountered any attacks from the Sea People. Even though the land seekers who broke through the formation together before have quietly dispersed, no one has appeared to take advantage of the situation.

The scattered red dots on the radar screen were mostly low-end land seekers that hadn't yet dispersed. Even the deep-sea behemoths that usually roamed the water were nowhere to be seen. Fina, having released her fusion, leaned against the side of the ship, bored, petting her dog.

The well-behaved dog stuck out its tongue and swung its big fluffy tail, which was almost half the length of its body, as if it had really forgotten that it was the leader of the pack.

But at this moment, the originally naive dog face suddenly took on the arrogance of a wolf, and Sarah also jumped out of the collar -

"There's a smell of blood in the southwest. Judging by the smell, it's probably human."

Without Feng Xue's order, a small drone took off instantly and began collecting video footage around the Dayun.

This former civilization drone was sponsored by Xiao Fengling. Feng Xue didn't have many of them, but at a time like this, he couldn't save them if he had to use them.

"There's a wreckage three hundred meters away. According to the Landseeker forum, it's the Albatross. This ship belongs to the Landseeker team of the same name. According to the information, the team just updated their equipment on Yharnam two months ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yunxi, who was concentrating on collecting the moonlight, suddenly opened his eyes and said:
"The surrounding spiritual environment isn't right. It feels like there's only moonlight and a few impurities, but for some reason, I feel uneasy!"

Feng Xue's brow furrowed. He activated his aura-gazing technique again, scanning the metal debris floating on the surface ahead. The flag, swollen by the seawater, lay half-submerged, and the Albatross's emblem was being gnawed by fish. The sound of artillery fire that had broken through the blockade an hour ago was still ringing in his ears. The silence at this moment seemed like a blood-soaked bandage, tightening ever tighter.

However, Feng Xue's eyes at this moment, apart from a small amount of the Sea God's divine power, did not see anything...

"No! No! No!"

Feng Xue's hair stood on end due to the strong alertness. He glanced at the wreckage, but did not see any trace of willpower!

This is very abnormal!
With such a strong smell of blood, there couldn't be no casualties, not to mention the destruction of the ship. Even if this world's reincarnation system were more efficient than the folk world, it should have left enough negative emotions. But now, there was none at all!
Either the Sea God even started to work part-time as the God of Death and the God of Slaughter, and even absorbed the negative emotions of the dead as his willpower, or something else was absorbing these resentments.

No matter which one it is, the calmness in this area is probably abnormal!
Looking up at the moon in the sky, Feng Xue took a breath and said:
"Little Bell, change course and avoid the road ahead! Choose a route with normal willpower environment!"

"Little Bell understands!" As a spirit, Little Bell could naturally discern the environment of willpower. Under her guidance, the Dayun slightly changed direction, avoiding the strange sea area before them...

……

The sound of waves seeped in through the bulkhead, carrying a certain sticky rhythm.

In order to avoid that strange willpower environment, the Dayun has been hovering in this sea area for two hours - according to Xiao Lingling's calculations, the target sea area should be visible by now.

The salty sea breeze swept across the deck, and Feng Xue's fingers unconsciously caressed the edge of the tortoise shell. He had already tried divination several times, but without the blessing of "inspiration", his weak spiritual power was simply not enough to obtain more answers.

He could only cooperate with Xiao Lingling's perception as a god and steer the Dayun slowly through the night. Compared with the ferocious moonlight in the sky, this sea area was eerily quiet - there were no seabirds flapping their wings, no fish leaping, and even the sound of the waves seemed to be deliberately suppressed in the throat. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, they were still on a battlefield full of artillery fire.

"Master, a faint energy fluctuation has been detected in the southwest, but the specific location cannot be pinpointed." The sound of the small bell was particularly clear in the silence. Sarah controlled the dog to squat at the side of the ship. Unlike the dog who remained cheerful at that time, her mechanical voice was unusually irritable at this time: "The smell of blood is getting stronger."

Feng Xue narrowed his eyes. In his vision of the Qi-gazing technique, he saw a thin layer of mist floating on the sea. It looked exactly the same as when he encountered the hunting ship before, but this time, there was no flashing blue light.

After a brief silence, Feng Xue used the Qi-gazing technique to look towards the southwest. However, with the already dissipated power of the sea god in this sea area, any distance over ten kilometers would basically be submerged in the blue.

He thought for a moment, then read through several public battlefield information on the Land Seeker Forum, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Go in the direction of the energy fluctuations!"

This command seemed to trigger a switch. As the Dayun sailed into the fog, the previously cheerful dog suddenly stood up, its fluffy fur standing on end. Sarah's voice rang out simultaneously: "There's something following us underwater... It's not alive."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue threw a ball of inky Yin thunder directly into the sea, accompanied by a sharp whistle that was difficult for human ears to catch. The faint Sea God's will suddenly became transparent as if a drop of bleach was dropped into the ink, and Feng Xue's Qi-seeing technique finally allowed him to see the normal color of the will again.

"No wonder I couldn't sense it! They're just a bunch of random soldiers with a Willpower concentration even lower than the seawater!" Feng Xue frowned as he stared at the pale blue fish swimming in the sea. "These low-level puppets can't stop the land seekers at all. They're probably just sentries. I thought they were using Willpower to cover the shallow sea in preparation for some big move, but it turns out they're just hiding secret sentries."

Having said that, Feng Xue was happy at this moment. Although being watched by secret sentries all the time sounded a bit scary, if you think about it the other way around, if you want a willpower creature with such a low willpower concentration to have the intelligence to track and monitor the target, then the answer is obvious, right?

"Little Bell, these things are all incarnations of the Sea God, and they are low-end ones that can't even project consciousness. See if you can control them. We will leave a few to lead the way, and the rest will be a snack for you!"
