Moreover, Zhan Chen and the others continued to track this group of glowing lantern fish and gradually went deep into the water at a depth of 10,000 meters from the sea level, where the sunlight could no longer penetrate, so the surroundings were already pitch black, and they couldn't see their fingers even more than the night on land, even with the powerful eyesight of the powerhouse of the Immortal Yuan Realm, they couldn't see anything five hundred meters away.
Of course, they don't have to worry about losing their target, because the glow fish glows on their own, not to mention the tens of thousands of fish gathered together, and their light is very conspicuous in the water, even from thousands of meters away, they can see it clearly.
The people of the Flower Moon Team silently followed the fish under the water, but they did not feel the slightest ease now, because the surrounding darkness was greatly restricted, so that everyone had to expand their immortal sense, carefully observe the surroundings, and prevent possible crises at hand, and there were hunters like the previous hundred-legged king squid lurking in the shadows, waiting for them to take the bait. But this time, fortunately, there has been no strong and threatening enemy.
Suddenly, a new situation appeared, and a little light was visible on the left, right, and top of the Flower Moon Squad, making everyone feel as if they were in a quiet night full of stars, which was extremely beautiful.
Looking at all this, Zhan Chenqi said: "Brother Hua, aren't those bright lights also a school of fluorescent fish?"
Hua Wutie replied: "Yes, the number of glowing lantern fish in this sea is huge, I don't know how many billions, and one of the prey we want to hunt, the bite fish, is one of their main natural enemies, so the number of bite fish is not much, we have to find them, and it is not difficult to get a lot of points." After a pause, he added: "The real test of this competition is not the hunt, but the time you can stay underwater." So, my brother, this time thanks to you for taking out a treasure like the Sea Dragon Shu, otherwise, after a fierce battle with the Hundred-Footed King Squid like just now, I'm afraid we would have chosen to go home early. β
"Yes, I think the water pressure outside is probably already surprisingly high at this time!" the people on the side also sighed with palpitations.
At this moment, Hua Wutie suddenly shouted, "Everyone, look!" As he spoke, he raised his finger to the school of fluorescent fish in front of him, and everyone followed the pointing of his finger to take a look, only to find that the speed of the light spot in front of him began to increase, and the route of movement began to become confused.
"It must have been a natural predator for the fluorescent fish to react like this. β
"Is it a hunting fish?" asked Zhan Chen.
"Likely, we'll get over there!"
Everyone was excited, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the fish commotion, and when they approached the target, they found that there were twenty-five giant fish with a body of thirty meters long chasing the glowing lantern fish with a body of only three meters.
These giant fish have hideous faces, they have a huge head, this head alone takes up nearly half of the body, which makes them have a huge mouth ten meters long, open the huge mouth, you will clearly find that there are rows of sharp fangs above and below the mouth, at least hundreds. These huge fangs are as hard as a lower grade weapon, and if they bite it, it will taste like a saw has been sawed over you, which is terrifying.
"You can't be wrong, this is the hunting fish, the target we are looking for!" Hua Wutie shouted excitedly, and immediately issued a battle order: "Everyone give it to me, don't let one go!" "Yes!" The members of the Kazuki team cheered up and attacked everywhere, chasing after their respective targets. When those bite fish saw them coming, they instinctively felt frightened and began to flee in all directions, they swam very fast in the water, and they were not lost to the members of the Flower Moon Squad who generally supported the high level of Immortal Yuan.
So a chase began, Zhan Chen had the Sea Dragon Ball Protector, so he moved in the water as fast as on land, and he caught up with the five bite fish one after another, killing them one after another.
However, when he looked back at the group, he found that many of his companions had difficulty even catching up with the bite fish, and after swimming a long distance, they had to turn back and look out of breath.
After everyone took out the demon pill that hunted and bited the fish, they returned to the concentration one after another, and took out three amber demon pills without iron, and said, "Brothers, I have killed three heads, how many have you killed?"
"I killed five of them. Zhan Chen took out five demon pills.
"I killed one. β
"Me too. β
......
"I- I didn't catch up. At the end, the remaining two muttered quietly, looking rather embarrassed.
Hua Wutie pondered for a long time and said, "Except for me and Zhan Chen, who killed eight hunting fish, each of the others only hunted one, and there are two people who didn't hunt one, so it's clear that we have only obtained fourteen demon pills in total, but we have missed eleven, which is simply too far from our set goal." β
At this time, Fang Xingye defended them: "Brother Hua, you can't blame us, we have all tried our best, but unfortunately catching up with and hunting a hunting fish is already the limit, and the rest of us are simply more than enough and not enough." β
"Yes, chasing those monsters in the water is far more difficult than we imagined, we have to cast a water avoidance spell on the one hand, and chase the monsters on the other, and the speed can't be increased at all. The other team members also said.
Hua Wutie shook his head and sighed: "That's it, it's me who didn't think it through, it's not everyone's fault, everyone has done their best, let's take it step by step!"
"Big brother, I've disappointed you!"
"It's okay, it's all my own brothers, and besides, we've reached the finals, as you said before, we can play steadily, and we don't have to be anxious at all, after all, it's the first thing to go back. β
"Yes, big brother, you're right!" Fang Xingye, who had always been timid, hurriedly said.
Next, the Flower Moon team waited nearby, and they hunted two more waves of hunting and biting fish, harvesting a total of thirty-six demon pills, and gaining a total of one hundred and eight points.
Hua Wutie saw that everyone's faces showed a hint of tiredness, so he said, "Let's go here today, go back and rest first, and strive to come back tomorrow." β
Everyone immediately scrambled to retreat as if they had been granted amnesty, and after about half an hour, everyone returned to Linhai Island, and after going ashore, everyone except Zhan Chen looked exhausted.
It was late at night, so they went to rest on the same cliff. A bonfire was lit, and everyone sat around it and chatted.
Hua Wutie concluded: "Today is only the first day of our competition, although we encountered many dangers along the way, we also successfully hunted 36 bite fish and obtained 108 points, thanks to the efforts of everyone. I believe that as long as we continue with this momentum, we will be able to achieve impressive results by the end of the preliminary round!"
"But there are still nearly three months to survive...... Fang Xingye and a few people have already begun to retreat, in their minds, this sea of smoke is full of Longtan tiger's dens, and the slightest carelessness will kill them.
In fact, there were ten times more powerful demon beasts in the Yanmiao Sea than in the Snow Moon Mountain Range, and the one they had arrived at today was only the edge of the Deep Sea Region.
Hua Wutie listened to his words, couldn't help but be anxious, and asked: "Xingye, you are also an old man, you want to retreat so soon, think about it, we have reached the finals so easily, at least we have to work hard." β
Fang Xingye didn't answer, Hua Wutie continued: "Anyway, if we continue tomorrow, the brothers will work hard, and we will have to stick to it for three months!"
At this moment, Zhan Chen suddenly spoke: "Brother Hua, I have an idea. β
"What thoughts?" asked Hua Wutie curiously.
"You're right, but I think Fang Xingye's scruples are not unreasonable, the sea of smoke is too dangerous, and people with insufficient cultivation will only drag their feet wherever they go, but it will affect the efficiency of the whole teamββ"
"What do you want to say?"
"I think it's better for us to have a round of voting, and tomorrow those who are willing to follow us to hunt will continue to set off, and those who don't want to stay on this island!"
As soon as Zhan Chen's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar among everyone, and Hua Wutie became excited, and said: "Brother Zhan, in this way, everyone can stay on the island comfortably, and there is no need to take risks!"
Zhan Chen stared at him and said, "Brother Hua, I just suggest that it is you who will make the final decision, besides, is it really good to let people with low cultivation go deep into dangerous places?" Today's Zhou Xing is an example. β
Zhou Xing heard Zhan Chen talk about himself, and hurriedly reiterated: "Brother Hua, Zhan Chen, I'm fine." β
Hua Wutie didn't speak, and fell into deep thought for a while.
Zhan Chen's eyes were blazing, and he continued: "Brother Hua, maybe the two of us will be more efficient, our team is not strong, and every brother is very precious." β
"Is this okay, just the two of us?" Hua Wutie still had doubts.
Fang Xingye was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Yes, Zhan Chen, you are too messy." β
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and replied, "I'm confident, didn't I deal with Han Yan alone before? besides, I still have the Sea Dragon Ball in hand, so nothing will happen." β
Hua Wutie nodded and said, "I figured it out, what Zhan Chen said is not unreasonable, instead of letting everyone go on an adventure together, it would be more efficient for me to attack with Zhan Chen." β
"But we don't feel at ease when you go like this. β
"Hahaha, if you don't worry, just take charge of picking us up in the shallow sea area!"
"Alright then, it's all up to you, Captain!"
In this way, in the discussion, they made a major decision, starting tomorrow, Zhan Chen and Hua Wutie will face a more severe test, but in Zhan Chen's blood, the spirit of pursuing martial arts began to boil, since the last time he made a breakthrough in the battle with Han Yan, he faintly began to yearn for this kind of battle of life and death, and Yan Miaohai obviously has no shortage of strong opponents!
