Chapter 147 -142: Comprehending the Divine Skill of Mysterious Stealth Navigation
The Flying turned into a white light, Da Fei’s view changed, and with a thunderous sound, Flying fell into a pitch-black underground lake. After the ship stabilized, another white flash brought yet another scene change, a gurgling underground river. It had to be said, the Elf Clan’s spatial technology was quite lacking, requiring a mid-journey transfer.
The scene changed once more, a red light filled the view, with a blood-colored sky and blood-colored lakes flashing by, followed by a thunderous crash as Flying fell into a blood lake, stirring up blood waves.
—System Prompt: You have discovered the Blood Sea Demon Swamp.
“We’ve arrived! Activate the skill immediately!” Anwen waved her hand before the ship steadied, and the splattered blood waves instantly turned into a blood mist.
—System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has released the Master-level “Mist Summoning Technique” magic!
Blood Sea Demon Swamp? No time to think about it, quickly combine skills, I’ll form the head! Da Fei immediately activated Phantom March.
—System Prompt: You have obtained the skill information of “Mysterious Stealth Navigation.”
Although the attempt at replicating a divine skill failed again, it didn’t prevent Flying’s blurry figure from being hidden within a large blood mist. In a situation where the target’s condition was completely unknown, appearing and hiding seemed to be the safest strategy. The saying “old ginger is hotter” truly held strong.
Anwen quickly stated, “This is not actually the Abyss Blood Pool. We do not have the ability to directly break through the Demon God Barrier of the Abyss Blood Pool to teleport in. If the intel we received is correct, this location should be the entrance and exit of the Abyss Blood Pool. We need to find the entrance to break in, and it’s said the blood here flows out from the Abyss Blood Pool, so following the flow should lead us there.”
Da Fei was shocked. A mid-journey transfer was already surprising, not to mention the destination wasn’t reached in one go! How difficult was this mission? Amidst this thick blood mist, how could he observe the water flow? A knockoff was truly a knockoff, but fortunately, Da Fei had the Blood Eagle Flute.
At that moment, the system warning flashed red!
—System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! Seven unknown strong creatures are approaching, please be on guard!
Da Fei urgently checked the mini-map, on which seven giant red dots were slowly moving in from all directions. Damn! BOSS? Did the red mist here ironically make me more conspicuous?
Anwen immediately ordered, “Prepare for battle! Follow the tactics from the rehearsal earlier! The Demon Race must have set up tight defenses here. Without knowing the enemy’s attributes and the surrounding terrain, our ship should stay still to avoid giving away our position through the water flow caused by movement!”
With a wave of her hand, several giant illusions of Flying appeared in the blood mist.
—System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has released the Master-level “Illusion Army” magic!
Da Fei nodded nervously and quickly arranged the Flower Demon Druid Hunter formation. Indeed, that was just a rehearsal; now it was for real. Although he didn’t know what BOSS was coming, at least one thing was certain: in the game world, few entities could withstand a barrage from a dozen crossbow cannons of a battleship. Normally, such large-scale warfare machines appeared in the later stages of the game, and only Arrow Towers or warships could counter them.
From the situation of the seven huge red dots slowly closing in, the enemy must also be very cautious of this conspicuous red mist, right? That indicated the enemy wasn’t too strong; true powerhouses would recklessly charge in without fear, wouldn’t they?
Thus, Da Fei was fully confident to annihilate the approaching enemy.
Da Fei quickly took out the Blood Eagle Flute to survey the surroundings. The long-missed Spiritual Eagle soared out of the dense fog, and the widened view revealed the vastness of Blood Sea Demon Swamp, filled with innumerable islands growing giant mushrooms, grand flowers, and grotesque trees, with bizarre bug-like beasts roaming around, their howls and cries echoing between sea and sky. Near the area shrouded by thick fog around Flying, seven massive water monsters resembling serpentine dragons were charging forward, and these serpentine dragons seemed to be everywhere in the distant Blood Sea!
This must be the Demon World. Realizing he was alone with a single ship, deeply navigating the Demon World, Da Fei suddenly felt a profound, solitary forlornness amidst the vast universe. This single-player mode was taking it way too far.
Now, the seven huge water monsters had reached the edge of the fog; Da Fei’s crossbow cannons were ready and on full alert. At that moment, the water monsters splashed into the water, and the big red dots on the map faded dramatically.
Da Fei was suddenly shocked, “Going underwater?” Though the warship’s firepower was fierce, its weakness was also evident, which was a lack of anti-submarine capability!
Anwen said sternly, “We can only hope the illusions will lure the enemy to take the bait!”
Da Fei could only aim the crossbow cannons on both sides of the ship towards the two illusion warships. It had to be said, the old lady’s skills were quite impressive; her Illusion Army could even replicate objects as large as warships. Grandmaster was a Grandmaster, after all.
As expected, a big red dot lunged towards an illusion warship. With a massive splash, the illusion disappeared, and the vague silhouette of a water monster appeared within the red mist!
The good thing was, there was no way to miss this!
—Boom! Rumble! Sixteen cannon ports roared in unison, two volleys of crossbow arrows whistled out! A miserable wail echoed across the lake from within the blood mist!
—System Prompt: You have attacked the Magic Swamp Watcher! You have alarmed the stationed troops of the Demon Race.
Alarmed the troops? The water monsters were troops?
Indeed, after the water monster let out that roar, the other water monsters also bellowed like thunder, causing a black swarm of insects and birds to take flight from the surrounding islands. The scale of it was indeed earth-shattering! Was this an alarm system?
—Boom! Rumble! Yet another round of crossbow fire, and the wailing water monster was blown to smithereens.
—System Prompt: You have slain the Magic Swamp Watcher, gaining Experience +76,000! Fame +760, and you have obtained incomplete information on the Magic Swamp Watcher.
Damn, it could withstand two volleys from my crossbow cannons! The strength of this water monster truly lived up to its experience value! What a formidable creature!
With the water monsters’ alarms, the nearby water monsters began converging here. Meanwhile, a squad of giant beasts flew in from the distant sky! Magic Swamp Demon Dragon Guardian? Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Even though he hadn’t heard of them, anything related to dragons was never weak. The key was the enemy was airborne; no matter how many crossbow cannons he had, they were useless! Flower Demons? Well, they could block magic, but fighting dragons in melee would result in a horrible death! This was entirely different from the rehearsal earlier, wasn’t it?
Da Fei was naturally panicked, “Ladies, the enemy has sent in the Demon Dragon Air Force. What do we do?”
Anwen frowned and quickly replied, “The direction the Air Force is coming from must be the Demon Army’s stronghold. There must be a guarded entrance there. Immediately scout the coordinates, and we will forcibly teleport there!”
Indeed, having an elder at home was like having a treasure! Da Fei nodded vigorously and hurriedly commanded the Spiritual Eagle towards the direction the Demon Dragons came from.
As the Spiritual Eagle brushed past the Demon Dragons, Da Fei drew in a sharp breath! The size was clearly that of a bomber! With rough, bumpy skin exuding green smoke in a fierce overbearing style, if it wasn’t an eighth-level soldier, it was a BOSS for sure! Letting them close in, they’d just plop down and sink his ship with their butts!
Just when he was in shock, a fortress on a lake came into view, and that was it!
Da Fei hurriedly shouted, “Ladies, we’ve discovered the Demon Race’s fortress, the Giant Dragon Formation is closing in!”
Anwen said in a low voice, “The enemy will undoubtedly reach before us. This moment marks the critical point of life and death!” Then she glanced up at the control room, “Miss Catherine, try once again. This time, we must achieve something! Begin emerging from the dense fog.”
Catherine responded firmly, “Understood, Lady Anwen!”
Da Fei’s jaw dropped. This mission wasn’t just challenging; it hadn’t even reached the Abyss Blood Pool’s gate yet, and it was already at a critical life-or-death moment? This task was simply designed to trap him to death!
Da Fei exclaimed, “Ladies, can we do it?”
Anwen chuckled, “Today, I can use Magical Coordination once. This time, the coordinated troops won’t be Flower Demons but Forest Goddesses.”
Da Fei was stunned, “Forest Goddesses? What can they do?”
Anwen smiled, “They can form a Basic Illusion Army! With over fifty Forest Goddesses assisting in spell casting, surely we can make a breakthrough.”
(Note: —Forest Goddesses: Small spiritual creatures, Attack 9, Defense 7, Damage 6-9, Life 35, Attack Speed 11, Mana 30, Command Value 0, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Ranged Shot, Advanced Healing Skill, Advanced Purification Skill, Basic Illusion Army.)
Da Fei suddenly understood, “Ah, the seemingly unremarkable special skill of the Forest Goddesses had such an extraordinary use! Although I don’t know exactly how to combine them, if the NPC says it can be done, it can be done. It means even though the mission seems daunting, there are clues for breakthrough! Ultimately, difficult missions don’t mean they’re unsolvable. If my God-level skills couldn’t handle it, other players shouldn’t even think about it,” Da Fei’s confidence soared as he steadily continued commanding the Spiritual Eagle toward the fortress.
Getting closer, the fortress was actually surrounded by an enormous dam at the lake’s center, where blood waves rolled in and out, with a massive flow of blood water erupting from it.
—System Prompt: You have discovered the effluent of the Abyss Blood Pool.
What? Effluent? Could it be this wasn’t even the main entrance? Indeed, what kind of reliable pathway could mysterious information offer! Anyway, entering was all that mattered, and once he had the effluent’s coordinates, he could directly teleport there with the whole ship.
At this point, on the radar, the Giant Dragon Formation, a large group of red dots, was closing in on Flying’s mist! They indeed reached first! Da Fei’s heart was in his throat!
Anwen shouted, “Combine!”
—Phantom March!
—System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has released the Master-level “Illusion Army” magic!
In that instant, all the Forest Goddesses aboard flashed with demon light and cast spells on the ship, simultaneously boosting Flying’s speed with a flash of magic sails, propelling it out of the fog!
As the ship exited the fog, Da Fei suddenly realized the entire ship had turned transparent! Simultaneously, a celestial-like system prompt sounded!
—System Prompt: Congratulations! You have comprehended the “Mysterious Stealth Navigation” skill!
—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your vice heroine, Katelina, has comprehended the “Mysterious Stealth Navigation” skill!

—System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has obtained information on God-level Arcane Magic!
Witnessing the screen filled with a series of system prompts, Da Fei’s breath stopped!
