On the boundless blue sea, Zhang Hao stood at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze carrying a slightly salty scent gently brushing against his face and ruffling the hair on his forehead.

The sunlight shone on the sparkling sea, making it look like countless diamonds were dancing, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

However, this tranquility and beauty was suddenly shattered by a sudden silence.

The ship stopped without warning, as if bound tightly by an invisible force.

A strange unease welled up in Zhang Hao's heart. He looked around and saw that the atmosphere on the ship had suddenly become tense.

The boatmen hurried between decks, their faces filled with anxiety and worry. Their conversation, though whispered, revealed the seriousness of the situation.

Zhang Hao looked around, deciding to find someone who could answer his questions. Just then, Yi Sa suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Yi Sa, what's going on on the ship?"

As soon as Zhang Hao saw Yi Sa, he asked her a question.

Yi Sa stopped and turned around, her brows furrowed and a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.

"Zhang Hao, we are now in an extremely special and dangerous sea area—the Coral Spiral Sea Area."

When the name "Coral Spiral Sea" reached Zhang Hao's ears, a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

He had heard the legends of this sea area, which were said to hide ancient underwater secrets. The seawater was formed by countless whirlpools and undercurrents due to the intricate coral reefs on the seabed, and even the most experienced navigators dared not venture into it lightly.

"Haven't we already come once? Why are you still in such a hurry?"

Zhang Hao asked, puzzled.

Yi Sa sighed and explained:

"If you want to find the dragon bones, you can't avoid this area of ​​the sea."

Worse still, once in this area, all navigational instruments failed, and the ship seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, losing its direction.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao understood.

Just then, he noticed several boatmen gathered around a specially made wooden box, carefully operating something.

"what are they doing?"

Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"That's a Sitian fish."

Yi Sa explained:

"The Sitian fish is a unique creature in this sea area. They are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields and can find the right direction in complex ocean currents."

In the ancient age of seafaring, without modern navigation equipment, fishermen relied on the astrolabe (also known as the "sky fish") for guidance when navigating the Coral Spiral waters.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao felt a surge of curiosity.

He approached to observe and saw that the creature, known as the Celestial Fish, had a slender body and scales that shimmered with an eerie light, swimming in a specially made water tank inside the wooden box.

Several boatmen, holding compasses, intently observed the direction the celestial fish swam, and adjusted the rudder from time to time.

As time went on, the Sitian fish seemed to gradually adapt to its surroundings and began to swim along a fixed trajectory.

The boatmen carefully maneuvered the boat according to its direction of movement, trying to regain their lost course.

Zhang Hao stood aside watching all of this, and he was surprised to find that the direction the little fish pointed in was exactly the same as the direction he had in mind.

He possesses celestial navigation abilities; regardless of the environment, he has an instinctive ability to navigate, and his body will instinctively point him in the correct direction.

I never imagined that the fish used by the boatmen had a similar function; it's truly amazing.

However, the challenges in the Coral Spiral area go far beyond that.

As the ship slowly moved forward, the scene on the sea began to become eerie.

The surrounding seawater seemed to have become even more turbid, and huge dark shadows occasionally darted past beneath the ship, making chilling sounds. Zhang

Hao knew that it was the undercurrents and unknown marine creatures at the bottom of the sea that were causing the trouble.

Just then, a boatman suddenly exclaimed, pointing ahead and shouting:

"Look! What's that?"

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw that not far ahead, colorful coral reefs suddenly appeared on the sea, forming a maze-like intricate network that surrounded the ship.

Zhang Hao's heart tightened. He knew they were trapped in the core area of ​​the Coral Spiral, and he didn't know if the Sky Fish could still point out the right direction under such extremely difficult circumstances.

"Prepare for an emergency!"

The captain shouted, and he quickly organized the crew to take countermeasures.

They reinforced the hull, prepared emergency supplies, and activated all life-saving equipment.

Meanwhile, experienced boatmen continued to rely on the astrolabe for navigation, trying to find a way out to the outside world.

Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment, every second filled with unknowns and dangers.

But it was this sense of crisis that brought everyone on board together to face this sudden challenge.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the ship.

The two celestial fish inside the wooden box suddenly went out of control and crashed headfirst into the box.

With the sudden impact of the celestial fish, the entire cabin fell into dead silence, followed by a flurry of panicked cries.

The creature that once carried everyone's hopes now lay quietly at the bottom of the wooden box, its scales dulled and its life force extinguished.

This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue, plunging everyone's hearts into despair.

"No, that's impossible!"

Someone muttered to themselves, their voice filled with despair.

Zhang Hao stood to the side, his gaze fixed on the lifeless body of Si Tianyu.

At this moment, everyone on the ship was like a frightened bird, completely disoriented.

"What do we do? The celestial fish is dead! Our ship will lose its way in the coral spiral!"

"A storm is coming soon, and our ship is no match for it!"

"Even without a storm, the food on the ship won't last long, and everyone will still die!"

……

With the death of Si Tianyu and no clear direction, everyone on the ship frowned, their faces gloomy, and all hope for survival vanished.

Zhang Hao could understand them; after all, losing one's way at sea meant only death was an option.

However, he was not worried at all. With celestial navigation, this level of navigation was not enough to make him lose his way.

"Don't panic, everyone. I can lead you out of the Coral Spiral."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with skepticism and ridicule from the other people on the ship.

"Hmph, what do you know about navigation, you young lad?"

"The Celestial Fish is our only hope!"

A boatman shouted.

"Yes, stop showing off here, let's think of a way to ask the outside world for help!"

Another boatman chimed in.

"How dare you talk like that? Young Master Hao may be young, but he's incredibly capable. If he says he can lead us out of the Coral Spiral, then he definitely can!"

Seeing that the boatman didn't believe Zhang Hao, Pan Zi immediately stood up and retorted.

"That's right, our boss is incredibly capable. With him around, there's absolutely nothing to worry about!"

"My uncle is the best; he'll definitely have a solution."
