The news sent back by the exploration fleet made Li Ming feel incredulous......

He just asked the fleet to explore the border area on the periphery of the entire Huaxia map, and now he knew that the situation had already made him understand the official map setting.

The entire Spirit Continent's two major empire territories are all surrounded by the vast ocean!

However, the official sealed off the edges of the territories of the two empires with a closed map, and no matter what method players used, it was impossible to cross the edge of the map within the territory of the two empires, let alone know that beyond the map was the long coastline.

And within the map range of the entire Spirit Continent, only the two ends of the map in the middle of the Heping City are set by the system to exist in the coastline, which are located in the northernmost part of the map of the Fengwu Mountains at the northern end of Heping City, and at the southern end of Heping City, which originally belonged to the Dragon Clan's holy land.

In other words, only these two places in the entire Huaxia map can get rid of the limitations of the terrain, giving players the opportunity to enter the vast sea, and there is no other outlet to the sea.

Moreover, these two outlets to the sea have different settings, and the seaside map of the Fengwu Mountains requires players to find a secret entrance to enter, and then successfully reach the seaside.

However, the estuary to the south of Peace City is occupied by the Dragon Sacred Land, and this outlet to the sea can only be opened smoothly unless the player triggers the Dragon Sanctuary's crisis mission.

The mouth of the Fengwu Mountains to the sea now seems to be deliberately set by the system as a terrain for the two camps to compete for, and whoever can find the entrance to the Fengwu Mountains first will be able to occupy this precious terrain to the sea and build a harbor city.

The mouth of Longtou Fort is a hidden terrain setting, and whoever can trigger the mission can occupy it, regardless of what camp the player belongs to.

Players in the Chaos camp can trigger the Demon Soul quest to help the Demon Soul subdue the dragons, then the location of the sea entrance will appear immediately, and the players of the Chaos camp can directly enter the Elven Valley through the secret passage, so as to truly control the southern estuary, but this time, the Demon Soul did not succeed.

Players from the Mandate of Heaven camp, such as Li Ming, just helped the dragons resist the invasion of the demon soul, and after the destruction of the Holy Land, the location of the sea entrance also appeared.

Now Li Ming understands why the Elven Valley is set in front of the Burial Dragon Wasteland, and there is a special enchantment protection, which means that the Elven Valley is actually a neutral map, and whoever can occupy the two camps will be able to fully control this map.

After clarifying the situation, Li Ming was even more surprised in his heart, the importance of these two outlets to the sea is of course self-evident, and what other important settings are hidden in the system?

Is it really as I guessed, that the regional war channel is in the vast ocean beyond the two outlets?

He was already getting more and more curious......

But this was not the case with the intelligence of the head of the exploration sub-group, and the news that shocked him the most was finally said until the end!

"Boss, I personally took a boat and ventured along the wide sea to continue sailing into the distance, because during the day I found that in addition to entering the archipelago to deliver supplies, a small number of ships quietly sailed to the deep sea, so I took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the middle of the night, and also let the ships sail to the deep sea, and the result was more than two hours, and I almost wanted to give up the search several times, but I was always unconvinced, who expected that this time I found a different island......" said the head of the group.

"What island, can you elaborate on it?" Li Ming was very excited when he heard his tone, so he asked curiously.

"This island is located in the middle of a large wide sea, there are no islands within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, it is such a black round island, and there is a circular volcano in the middle of the island, constantly spewing out a huge column of smoke, and the area around the island is almost five hundred meters close to the shore, all of which are densely packed with stalagmite-like islands and reefs, and it is difficult for ships to get close to the shore." The head of the sub-regiment said.

"What's the situation, and such an island, what is it called?" Li Ming's eyes were stunned, and the volcanic island described by the head of the group sounded particularly strange......

"This ...... Our ship can't get close to the edge of the island, so we can't know its name, but we hid in the distance and circled around the island a few times, and found that there were traces of the opposing players' activities on the island, as if they had cracked the secrets of the island, and there must be a very important setting on it. The head of the sub-group said.

"The island that can't be approached......" Li Ming thought with a frown.

"Boss, this is a screenshot, the light is not good at night, the screenshot is not very clear, you will just watch it, I will find a way to take a screenshot during the day." The head of the sub-regiment said.

In the private chat channel, a screenshot of the sea in a pitch-black environment immediately popped up......

I saw that in the dark sea, countless points of light reflecting the stars in the sky could be faintly seen on the wide sea, and far ahead, a tall circular island appeared on the sea, and a black pillar of smoke was connected to the sky from the top of the island......

As the head of the sub-group said, the screenshot at night was very blurry, and because the ship could not get close to the perimeter of the island, it was a screenshot from hundreds of meters away, and he could only see the outline of the island slightly.

"You don't need to take screenshots during the day, this island is very high, and there is a vast sea everywhere, if you go over during the day, you will be discovered by the enemies on the island before you get close to the island, so that they can be prepared in advance." Li Ming said.

"That'...... Boss, I suspect that there is something very important for the enemy on this island, and it would be a shame not to figure it out. The head of the sub-group said.

"Don't worry, sooner or later we will form a fleet to go over and have a look, and now we can't let the other party know that we have quietly arrived at their territory." Li Ming reminded.

"Understand, you can't startle the snake." The head of the sub-group smiled.

"In the past two days, your task is to explore all the sea conditions in the northern sea without being discovered by them, and I want to know how many islands are distributed on each sea surface, and the wind speed and wave conditions there, so that we can enter a large number of ships in the future." Li Ming said.

According to the setting of the system, there are various wave strengths in the spiritual sea, and each ship has a different level of wind and wave resistance, so some medium-sized ships on the sea cannot enter, and some seas are not in any danger, so it is necessary to find a suitable route.

"Knowing the boss, we will definitely find out the situation in the sea area as soon as possible in the next few days." The head of the sub-regiment hurriedly replied.

"You did a good job this time, you worked hard for a few days, come back after finding out the situation, hurry up and upgrade, make up the level back, I have a greater responsibility to hand over to you." Li Ming said with satisfaction.

There are more than 500 players on these three ships, which is a team of sub-groups specially selected by him, and the players in this sub-group are not random to count, it is he who asked the three guild leaders to specially select those players who live in the coastal areas of reality from their own guilds, have grown up on the seashore since childhood, and have some practical experience in going to sea!

In fact, from the moment Li Ming was selected, he was already thinking about cultivating a group of elite sailing players, and after accumulating sailing experience in the game, he could become the sailing core of the entire four major alliances.

These five hundred people took on the task of exploring the shoreline of the Spirit Realm, and it was only the first test task given to them by Li Ming, but I didn't expect them to complete it very well......
