The captains of the various investigation teams gathered to discuss their strategy.
They were the elite adventurers specially invited by the Guild.
"The pirate was right. The sea monsters in this area have indeed become more concentrated, and the journey ahead might not be easy," said the Guild member who had interrogated the pirate. "What do you think, captains?"
"The appearance of these rare and even legendary sea monsters must have something to do with the elves' civil war," said one of the adventurer captains. "If we can safely reach the Elf Island, we can naturally find out what they are up to. But..."
"But even the Demon Tooth Shark, a supposedly extinct species, has appeared. Next, we might even encounter the legendary Krakens," someone replied. "If you ask me, I'd say we should give up. On the open sea, we can't replenish our supplies, and if our ships are destroyed, we won't even have a place to stand."
