176: Chapter 176 He looks really strange

The roar of the engines echoed over the black and white sea.

The massive "Many Children, Many Blessings" plowed a wide, snow-white wake across the sea surface.

Before long, this steel behemoth returned to the boundary between Mofeng Mountain and Sea and the previous sea area.

The sea breeze was slightly salty and fishy. Li Taiping pressed his hands against the railing of the third-floor open balcony, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

Immediately after, The girls, including He Yushui, Tuan Xiaoying, and Chu Mengyao, all ran onto the deck.

When they saw the scene before them, everyone stopped in their tracks simultaneously, struck speechless by the shock.

On the distant horizon, it was no longer that silent black and white.

Dense and packed! Covering the sky and earth!

A fleet so vast it made one's scalp tingle was quietly anchored in the sea area at the boundary.

Thousands of ships of all sizes were gathered together, masts standing like a forest, flags snapping in the wild wind.

They were connected end-to-end, forming a steel torrent that blotted out the sky, forcefully embellishing this oppressive sea area with a sense of the grandeur of human civilization.

The captains of these ships were originally just skilled hands who had been struggling to get by, barely managing to make a name for themselves, and among them were no shortage of superpowered individuals with Excellent Grade strength.

Even such people would risk their lives for half a bite of food to fill their stomachs.

But now, it was different.

Under the infinite supply of resources from Su Mei's god-level item, the treasure basin, the strength of this group had expanded in a terrifying way.

Looking out, in this massive fleet composed of thousands of ships, the lowest-level ships had already advanced to tier three ship!

Although limited by certain constraints, these tier three ships looked somewhat rough.

Some had their hulls bound with the pale, bleached bones of giant sea beasts to serve as armor, while others simply had crash bumpers forcibly welded on using rusty scrap metal, exuding a wild, wasteland-punk vibe.

But this was the real deal—tier three!

A few weeks ago, this was a luxury they wouldn't have dared to dream of.

Even more exaggerated was that after these people were well-fed and their weapons upgraded from bird guns to cannons, their courage had completely bloated.

Almost every one of them, following Li Taiping's example, had subdued one or two Mountain Sea Giant Beasts in this sea area as battle pets.

It's just that...

Their aesthetic sense seemed to have an insurmountable gap compared to Li Taiping's side.

Or rather, in order to survive, this group had completely abandoned the pursuit of aesthetics.

On the deck, Tuan Xiaoying had originally been shocked by the scale of the fleet, but when she saw the so-called battle pets crawling on those ships, her big eyes instantly widened.

"Good heavens! You all, look at that ship flying the black skull flag!"

Tuan Xiaoying stretched out her fair, tender finger and pointed forward, her voice cracking,

"What in the world is that? Octopus legs growing on a shark's body?"

Everyone looked in the direction her finger was pointing.

They saw a monster over seven meters long lying on the bow of that ship.

Its upper body was a fierce great white shark, its mouth full of fangs glinting with a cold light, but its lower body had eight thick, purple octopus tentacles covered in disgusting suction cups.

At that moment, the monster was using its tentacles to coil around a sea fish, stuffing it into the shark's mouth and chewing frantically, splashing dark green juices all over the place.

"Ugh..." Yun Jinxin covered her mouth, her stomach churning, "This aesthetic is truly something else, it's simply eye-searing!"

"And that one! On the iron ship on the left!" He Yushui also exclaimed, pointing to the other side, "A giraffe's neck, a crab's body! This is just too bizarre!"

It was a giant crab the size of a small car, its two dark red crab claws waving with a fierce wind.

But the weird thing was, in the very center of its hard crab shell, a three-meter-long giraffe neck covered in yellow spots actually stuck out.

The small head at the top of the neck was looking around, occasionally flicking out a long, black tongue.

"This..."

Jing He's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but complain,

"They really aren't picky eaters! To improve their strength, they dare to tame any strange-looking Mountain Sea Giant Beast hybrid! If one were to see this while getting up at night, it would scare the soul right out of them."

The girls stood on the deck, pointing and discussing the bizarre giant beasts in that cosmopolitan fleet in the distance.
