Soon, the group's boat had reached the location of several huge ships near the coast. The two ships on the left were for the First Battalion, while the two ships on the right were for the Second Battalion.
The people in Ye Li's camp followed the two mid-level leaders and came to the two huge ships on the left.
In a battalion, every two hundred people or so boarded a ship, and two ships were just enough to accommodate everyone.
Following the subordinate named Tan, Ye Li's team of a hundred people, together with another team of a hundred people, led by a middle-level leader, boarded the giant ship on the far left one after another, while the rest of the people in the first battalion boarded the second ship.
After boarding the ship, the intermediate leader said: "Each team should reorganize and then go into the cabin to rest, but you need to stay alert at all times.
Our fastest voyage will take five days. Monsters may appear along the way to attack the ship, so be prepared."
The two subordinate captains then informed the captains of each team of the specific arrangements and asked the captains to lead everyone to find the cabin of their team.
The two giant ships were very large, much larger than the building ships Ye Li had seen before. After all, they were sea ships, and their large size was an advantage, allowing the ships to sail smoothly in the wind and waves of the sea.
This was Ye Li’s first time going out to sea. After staying in his cabin for a while, he couldn’t help but go up to the deck.
It is free time now. Except for some special areas that are not accessible, the soldiers are allowed to enter and exit the rest of the ship.
When we arrived on the deck, many soldiers had already gathered here, looking around the side of the ship with curiosity on their faces.
Ye Li looked around, found an area where there were not many people, walked over there, and then looked towards the sea.
The vastness of the ocean shocked Ye Li for a moment. Looking around, the boundless sea water surrounded their giant ship, and the huge hull instantly became like a fallen leaf.
The sea water constantly hits the side of the boat, and the sound of wind and waves and the cries of seagulls form a vivid melody.
Ye Li was looking at it in fascination when Tunri's voice rang out, saying, "How is it? The sea is magnificent, isn't it?"
Hearing Tunri's words, Ye Li nodded and said, "Isn't it true? Staying in the ocean, I suddenly feel that I have become extremely insignificant."
Tunri laughed and said, “Don’t mention you, I had the same feeling when I first came to the sea.
I never thought that I would have the opportunity to visit the Chaos Sea one day. Looking back, it really seems like a dream."
Tunri sighed with rare emotion.
Ye Li and Tunri have been together for a long time and can understand each other's thoughts to some extent. Tunri was imprisoned in the talisman for a thousand years. When he came out, the world had changed dramatically. All the people he knew had turned to dust. It is inevitable that he would feel a little sad.
"Oh, Ye Li, this incident seems very urgent. I think the danger is not small. Although you are now a soldier of the Emperor's Guard, you should obey orders. But no matter what, your life is more important. After entering the Chaos Sea, you must be extra careful."
Tunri spoke with a serious look.
Ye Li was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said: "Senior Tunri, don't worry, I'm not stupid, if there is real danger I will definitely run away.
I stay in the Imperial City for cultivation. It provides me with conditions and resources, and I do things for it, but that doesn't include risking my life.
Those native disciples have the obligation to surround the Imperial City, but I don’t. My roots are in the Ye family in Shanhai County, not here.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Tun Ri seemed to be relieved and said, "You have been in the Imperial Guards recently, and they have been instilling some words about discipline, responsibility, and obligations in you, telling you to obey orders resolutely.
In fact, we also had these things in the sect in the past. They were meant to increase the loyalty of the disciples and make them serve the sect wholeheartedly.
I don't want you to be brainwashed by them and make a choice that is not beneficial to yourself at the critical moment.
After all, as you said, your home is in Shanhai County, not here, so you'd better be more careful."
Ye Li knew that Tunri was doing this for his own good, so he smiled and nodded when he heard that.
After that, Tunri stopped talking and just looked at the vast ocean with Ye Li, falling into deep thought.
Life at sea was a bit boring. Three days had passed and all they could see was sea water, which was really dizzying.
On the first day, everyone was quite interested in watching the sea together. However, after a day of watching, many people began to feel dizzy due to the swaying of the huge ship.
Not all the soldiers around had participated in sea missions, and many veterans had only completed some missions in near-shore areas.
When the second day came, many people felt uncomfortable.
The boat kept rising and falling on the waves. There was nothing to be seen around except the sea water, and there was no docking place. It was really tiring.
On the evening of the third day, the scene on the sea finally changed. A tall iron tower rising from the sea attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a circle of red iron chains wrapped around the iron frame tower. One end of the chain was tied to the iron frame tower, and the other end extended towards the depths of the sea.
The sky in the distance was no longer as blue and cloudless as before, but had become hazy.
"Yes, that is the Chaos Sea!"
Tunri's voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Li was standing on the sea looking ahead. When he heard Tunri's words, he hurriedly looked into the distance.
The Chaos Sea was just as Swallowing the Sun had said before. The entire sea surface was filled with thick fog, like a huge curtain covering the entire ocean.
Looking around, this curtain of fog stretched across the sea, with no boundaries on either side. No one knew where it extended to.
The thickness of the foggy area was also terrifying. When Ye Li looked over, the fog and the sky seemed to be connected together, as if they had spread all the way to the zenith.
The red chain beside the ship spread all the way to the depths of the chaotic sea, guiding the direction of the giant ship.
With the existence of these iron chains, people from the four holy places will not get lost. Everyone can move forward along the iron chains without worrying about taking the wrong path.
"It's incredible that your four holy places actually came up with such a method. This way, we really won't get lost.
But this project is really huge. No wonder it took them hundreds of years to finally explore. Just building these chains is not a simple task."
Tunri looked at the red chain beside him and couldn't help but sigh.
The strength of their sects in that era was not weaker than it is now, but most of the time, the sects were attacking each other to seize resources, and they never thought of uniting to explore the Chaos Sea.
