The sky was clear and blue, but the sea was dark and muddy. The seawater close to the land was not very clean, especially since there were many factories and sandy cliffs along the coastline.

The color of the sea slowly turned dark green after they traveled a certain distance.

“We should look for a huge area filled with seaweed first,” the old man said. “If I remember it correctly, it should be ahead of us…”

Tian Cheng regrouped with the troop not long after the old man finished his sentence. The Triumphant Eagle Dragon’s feathers glimmered under the sunlight.

“General, I’ve discovered a huge amount of floating seaweed ahead. There might be dangerous creatures hiding in it. We should maintain our current altitude,” Tian Cheng said.

Zhang Xiaohou looked at the old man. It was extremely difficult to pinpoint a specific location in the vast sea. Even if they had accurate coordinates on the map, finding it was a different story. After all, there were not many reference objects in the sea.

The old man had brought them to the right place without relying on any devices. He was very familiar with the sea.

Zhang Xiaohou was relieved.

Only nine days left until the Forbidden Curse was launched. If the marine trench was indeed the Dragon King Ants’ nest, they would be able to accomplish their mission!

“Head thirty nautical miles east after passing the floating seaweed, and you should see an underwater plain,” the old man said.

Zhang Xiaohou did not understand what the old man meant by an underwater plain at first, but he was shocked when he saw a huge field of swaying green plants appear on the horizon.

It was hard to imagine finding a green field in the middle of the ocean. The green grasses were obviously not weeds growing out of soil, but green seaweed.

Most algae would grow on rocks, coral reefs, and close to the bottom of the sea, but for some reason, this seaweed was on the surface of the water.

Some of them had even grown out of the water. One might even mistake them for a damp field of grasses at first glance.

“The trench is down there. Many people have no idea there’s a deep trench under here because of the thick seaweed. It’s even scarier than many trenches in the Pacific Ocean,” the old man declared.

The old man also had no idea how deep the trench was. He had only discovered it during a mission when he was younger.

“Mister, is there any place for us to land our mounts? It would be better if we could set a camp there,” Tan Feng asked.

“I can’t tell for sure. There should be submerged reefs around here, but we’ll have to look for them,” the old man said.

“Captain Tong, bring some Shadow and Water Mages and do a quick scout of the area to locate the exact coordinates of the Dragon King Trench and estimate the density and level of demon creatures in it,” Zhang Xiaohou ordered.

“Affirmative!”

“Tian Cheng, look for a suitable spot to set up a camp.”

“Affirmative!”

The troop immediately split up to carry out their tasks.

It was important to set up a camp first. The trench was full of unknown forces. Even if there were no powerful demon creatures in it, They would have to explore it first before going deep into it.

Otherwise, if something happened and they were not prepared for it, the whole troop might die!
