Using logs to make a boat naturally will not work. It was too much of a waste of time.
The simplest way was to create a wooden raft.
Wood was the base, and vines were the rope.
It was not durable, but it was enough.
In less than an hour, the wooden raft was completed.
The soldiers of the azure bird tribe were flying in the sky to scout the situation. They were mainly responsible for observing the pterosaurs and other ferocious birds on both sides of the beach.
There were many vicious birds and fierce beasts near snake Island. They usually feed on poisonous snakes and giant pythons on the snake island. Occasionally, they would also catch fish and other ferocious beasts from the sea. They were also the biggest threat on the sea route.
The soldiers of the azure bird tribe could put up a fight against the pterosaur and other fierce beasts.
However, if there were too many pterosaurs, and once they started fighting, they would inevitably be injured, which was something Yang Xu did not want to see.
The lives of these soldiers were not just numbers, nor were they tens of points of life energy. They were the people of the Great Xu country, the people of Yang Xu. They were not just resources.
As long as there was a way to reduce losses, Yang Xu would not let his people take risks easily.
It was good to be more stable.
If he had no choice, he would burn his cauldrons and sink his boats, fighting to the death.
He had no fear.
This was the spirit of the Great Xu nation. They were brave and fearless, not afraid of death, but not stupid.
Although Yang Xu predicted that the sea would be relatively safe today, it was still necessary to be on guard.
The azure bird tribe patrolled the surroundings, and the merfolk race was on guard for any threats from the ocean.
In such an environment, the troops of the Great Xu nation boarded the rafts in an orderly manner and rode the wind and waves, leaving a white trail in the vast and calm west sea. It was as if a divine weapon had torn the dark and deep sea apart.
After walking for less than twenty miles, Yang Xu realized that he had greatly underestimated the intensity of last night's battle.
He saw that the calm sea was covered with corpses!
Tens of thousands of corpses were floating on the surface of the sea.
There were small fish that were a foot long, giant beasts that were dozens of meters long, and countless corpses of all kinds of fierce beasts.
Although most of them were sea beasts, there were also many corpses of giant pythons, some of which were even forty to fifty meters long. The colorful giant python floated on the sea's surface. It was as if they had come to an indescribable strange world. It was terrifying, and oppressive, and made people's hair stand on end.
"Your Majesty."
Yun Xiao spread his wings and landed on the raft's edge a few meters away from Yang Xu. His expression was serious and confused.
They had never seen such a scene before, not even during the beast tide.
Yun Xiao could not imagine just what had happened here last night, to have such a tragic slaughter.
Normally, regardless of whether it was the beasts on land, the sea beasts, or the ferocious birds that roamed the sky and clouds, they all had their own hunting areas.
Such a large-scale death or slaughter was very rare.
Something must have happened to snake island!
Yang Xu gazed at snake Island in the distance.
It was cloudy today. The sun sometimes penetrated the clouds and shone on the sea; sometimes, it hid behind the thick clouds and peeked at the human world.
The snake Island, under the dark clouds, was filled with pink mist. The poisonous miasma lingered around snake Island all year round.
Snake Island was huge. Although it was not as big as the valley, it was still a hundred miles wide.
No one knew how many venomous snakes and giant pythons were on snake Island, and the Great Xu nation had never investigated it in depth. But one could know a thing or two just by looking at the coast of snake island.
As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of colorful poisonous snakes on the coast. Even in the dense forest some distance away from the coast, one could also see the snakes among the branches and vines that had integrated with the surrounding environment.
Yang Xu retracted his gaze from snake island and looked at the corpses scattered all over the sea. Most of the corpses were incomplete. It was obvious that the feast had already begun before Yang Xu and the others arrived.
There were also all sorts of small vicious birds and sea beasts next to the corpses of some giant beasts.
They greedily tore at the corpses scattered across the sea, enjoying this rare feast.
However, he did not see giant beasts more than five meters in size. He did not know if they had died in the battle last night or if they had fled in panic after the previous night's tragic battle.
"I don't know," Yang Xu said after some deliberation, "Just collect the corpses and cross this sea area as soon as possible."
Although he didn't know what had happened last night, he knew it was not a small matter when he saw the tens of thousands of incomplete corpses in the sea.
Although the remains of every ferocious beast could be transformed into precious life force, greed was the favorite bait of death.
Running away quickly after picking up the benefits was the foundation of establishing oneself in the wilderness.
The soldiers received the order and began to move.
The azure bird tribe acted as guides in the sky.
The merfolk used their water manipulation abilities to push the wooden rafts forward on the sea, acting as the driving force for the fleet.
The Qing Qiu Fox Tribe soldiers used their telekinesis to push the corpses of the giant beasts floating on the sea, pushing them along the current to the nearest channel to Yang Xu's raft.
With such close cooperation, the Great Xu nation's army's speed stayed the same.
While Yang Xu was happily absorbing life forces, his orders were sent to the west sea outpost.
At the training field of the west sea outpost.
The training field of the west sea outpost was located below the cliff. It was huge and was very similar to the training field in the palace.
At this moment, Qing Qiu Zi Yue was training in the martial arts field.
Her method of practice was straightforward and crude.
Her slender and powerful arms held a thick rock four to five meters tall. It was completely black, and the outer layer was smooth and delicate, like marble.
Even a small car would become scrap metal if it were crushed by the rock, let alone a person.
However, such a weight on Qing Qiu Zi Yue's body only caused her cheeks to turn pink and a thin layer of sweat to appear on her beautiful face.
There was pressure, but Qing Qiu Zi Yue was stable!
A young lady from the azure bird tribe stood ten meters from the Qing Qiu Zi Yue, holding the military information Yang Xu had ordered her to deliver and read out his orders.
"What? The king is coming early?"
When Qing Qiu Zi Yue heard the contents of the military information, her mesmerizing fox-like eyes widened, and her expression was extremely shocked.
Yang Xu had always been cautious, or else Great Xu wouldn't be where it was today.
Unless he had no other choice, Yang Xu rarely took risks.
When she heard that Yang Xu had suddenly changed his route and was going to reach the west sea outpost tonight, Qing Qiu Zi Yue was not happy. Instead, she was worried.
Could something have happened?
Thinking of this, Qing Qiu Zi Yue could not sit still.
She exerted some force with her fair arms, and the huge rock that weighed more than ten tons flew out like a cannonball, landing dozens of meters away.
The moment the huge rock landed, it was as if a meteorite had fallen. Even from two miles away, one could feel the strong vibration from the ground.
In the dense forest not far away, birds were startled and flew into the sky.
The chirping sounds seemed to be scolding the stupid fox that had disturbed one's dreams.
Qing Qiu Zi Yue did not care what the birds in the forest were saying. She took Yang Xu's order and read it carefully.
Well, other than the two words 'Zi Yue', she didn't know anything else.
Qing Qiu Zi Yue raised her slender arms, scratched her soft black hair in distress, and then ran towards the cave exit.
Her speed was extremely fast, and the explosive power of her physical body had reached an unbelievable realm. She could jump dozens of meters with one leap.
When they arrived at the cliff, Qing Qiu Zi Yue took a different path.
She followed the vines on the cliff and hooked onto the cracks in the mountain rock, as relaxed as a monkey. She had disappeared into the clouds halfway up the mountain in just a few breaths.
After leaving the cave, Qing Qiu Zi Yue did not rest. She found Qing Luan, who was monitoring the victims of the Seidel cruise ship.
To be more precise, Qing Luan discovered Qing Qiu Zi Yue and stopped her on the beach.
She was afraid the idiot would disturb the shipwrecked passengers on the Seidel in the distance.
Of course, she wasn't afraid of scaring them, but she was worried that she would expose their whereabouts and make them alert.
After Qing Qiu Zi Yue handed Yang Xu's military information to Qing Luan and looked at her with anticipation, nervousness could be seen in her charming foxy eyes.
"Do you have any thoughts?" she asked nervously.
After reading the military information, Qing Luan was also confused.
With Yang Xu's way of doing things, this matter was very strange.
Could it be...
"The king is going to make a move on these outsiders!" Qing Luan said after some deliberation.
