"Watch out!"

The crowd suddenly exclaimed in alarm.

Don't be fooled by this figure made of seawater, casually tossing out a water ball.

But in the perception of Fang Yu, Luu Yuan, and other Transcendents with water-type Extraordinary Abilities, this water ball has already compressed and concentrated enough ocean energy.

Once it explodes, its power would absolutely rival that of a fortified naval cannon.

The Energy Level could probably reach tens, if not hundreds.

The West Qinghai Sea Region, as a former novice village upgrade map, is definitely more dangerous than the Southern Island Sea Region.

Never mind captains below Level 10, even captains from Level 10 to 20 would end up dead here.

Only captains above Level 20 can barely protect themselves.

Yes... barely protect themselves.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, three more ocean spirits condensed from the seawater.

These ocean spirits have no eyes, nose, ears, or mouth, but the ocean itself is their senses, allowing them to easily detect the presence of Fang Yu and others.

Each ocean spirit successively launched an attack towards its target ship.

On one side of the Salted Fish, an ocean spirit quietly formed as well.

"Luo Kuan!"

Fang Yu called out loudly in Brain Domain Sharing.

"Understood!"

Luo Kuan chuckled, a cold light flashed in his Alchemy义眼, and his figure connected with the cannon.

The next moment, Luo Kuan shouted loudly, and the cannon connected to him emitted a burst of deadly aura.

Enhanced cannon basic Energy Level: 150.

Captain's Energy Level boost: 34.8

Adding Du Ran's power enhancement and the cannonfire amplification attribute of Luo Kuan's Alchemy义眼, the Energy Level that his cannon could unleash at this moment completely exceeds 200 points!

200 points, what concept is that?

One shot, devastating and earth-shattering!

"Releasing enhanced cannon, costing Lord's money: 1000 Copper Coins."

The notification came from the panel, each shot of the enhanced cannon now requires double the amount of money.

However, considering Fang Yu's wealth now, he didn't particularly mind the cost of the cannon's attacks.

"Boom!"

Just as the ocean spirit on the side of the Salted Fish condensed its form, it was immediately hit by Luo Kuan's cannon.

The terrifying wave of Energy Level quickly erupted in the impact area, causing many captains to cast their eyes in surprise towards Fang Yu's ship.

"So strong!"

Several Blue Star Captains muttered, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes: "This is the power of an enhanced cannon, right? Who would've thought that a seemingly ordinary native ship could actually install an enhanced cannon?"

"If more of these cannons come, I'm afraid we wouldn't be a match..."

"Fortunately, his ship only has two cannons, and it's controlled by Transcendents. This level should be the pinnacle for a medium-sized cargo ship, but still somewhat inferior to our large cargo ships."

Several Blue Star Captains muttered quietly.

Under the effect of the ship's illusion, the Salted Fish only appeared to have two cannons.

On the ships of several Level 20-ish Blue Star Captains, there were 3-4 cannons.

Having just reached Level 20, they didn't have the money to upgrade the cannons on their ships.

Yet, through previous accumulation, they had several opportunities to enchant their ships, each having gone through 3-5 enchantments.

One captain, the strongest among them, used all his money for intermediate enchantments on components when he reached Level 20. His overall strength wasn't negligible.

So, although these Blue Star Captains believed their pure base power couldn't compare to the power unleashed by the cannons on the Salted Fish,

they felt they would likely have an edge in terms of enchantment capabilities compared to the Salted Fish.

Upon a glance, although surprised by the cannon's power on the Salted Fish, the Blue Star Captains internally didn't take the Salted Fish too seriously.

They still possessed the sense of superiority that a Blue Star Captain feels when looking at NPCs.

...

The array of ships continued forward, with ocean spirits continuously manifesting from the sea to attack the vessels.

But among these native captains daring enough to undertake such dark tasks, none were fools. Even when facing ocean spirit attacks, these native captains were able to kill the ocean spirits within a few rounds of combat.

However...

Although everyone could shatter the ocean spirits, the disparity in strength was glaringly evident.

The top tier, naturally, was the fleet at the front.

Their cannons could casually obliterate any ocean spirit with ease.

The second tier included Fang Yu's Salted Fish and several Blue Star Captains' ships.

The cannons on the Salted Fish could efficiently annihilate each ocean spirit with every blast.

Although not as easily as the fleet, each shot could consistently unleash stable power.

The Salted Fish had the advantage in cannon enhancement.

One shot, straightforward and powerful.

While the cannons of the four Blue Star Captains had various enchantments like lightning, paralysis, corrosion, and shattering.

Though they couldn't rival the Salted Fish's cannons in pure base Energy Level, they showcased their own capabilities, efficiently killing each ocean spirit.

As for the third tier, those were the native captains.

The battle strength of these native captains was uneven, lacking a level and Energy Level framework to define an upgrade path.

This led to situations where these native captains:

Either installed an extremely powerful cannon with weak defenses, lacking any armor, with two native ships nearly being sunk, forcing the "Rong" brother ahead to quickly tear open a few repair scrolls to fix these native ships.

Damn it, it's fine if your ships sink, but don't lose my goods.

If the goods diminish, the Marine Army inquiry would make even Rong sweat.

Some native ships had incredibly strong armor, complete with armor enhancement and enchantments, yet their attack means were limited to inferior methods like crewmembers using rifles.

This left Fang Yu and others both amused and helpless, having to step in to help the two captains deal with the ocean spirits.

These creatures... once born, need to be eliminated quickly.

Otherwise, the ocean spirits could continuously absorb power from the seawater, growing stronger.

If they grow to a point where even the fleet can't handle them, only annihilation awaits everyone.

"Boom!"

Luo Kuan grinned as his cannon shot, instantly killing an ocean spirit.

"Killed an initial-level ocean spirit, earn 200 experience points, 400 Copper Coins for everyone."

Every bit counts. Although for Fang Yu, firing a shot would incur a pure expense of 600 Copper Coins.

But it doesn't matter, it's like paying for experience.

At this moment, Rong's voice came from the front: "Ahead is our destination. Remember, once we enter the opponent's waters, don't release cannon attacks, or don't blame me for not recognizing you later."

Hearing Rong's words, everyone reacted, quickly looking towards the archipelago ahead.

There... was this the warlord stronghold that sparked the West Qinghai Sea Region conflict?
