Chapter 156: The Sea of Death

With the passage of time, Ma Qingfeng has been resting in this small inn for seven days. In the past seven days, the true yuan consumed has been replenished, and it has increased compared to before.

On the eighth day, Ma Qingfeng got up early, and after breakfast, he bought a horse in the town, and rushed to Sanqingguan, a first-class sect in the Red Sun Country.

The far west of the Eastern Continent is an endless ocean, known as the Sea of Death since ancient times.

This Sea of Death is the boundary between the Eastern Continent and the other four continents, that is, five continents are like five islands floating on the Sea of Death. It's just that the island is really bigger.

There are many huge sea beasts in the Sea of Death, and there are even many demon beasts that have learned to cultivate on their own.

These monsters are powerful, have survived for a long time, each dominating a territory, and have fought against humans for countless years.

There are many islands of different sizes in the Sea of Death, and there is more or less human life on them, and there are many prefecture-level masters.

It is precisely because of the guards of these ground-level masters that the human race has not been wiped out in the attack of the sea beasts.

At the end of the Sea of Death in the far west of the Eastern Continent was a huge colorful barrier. This barrier stretches into the far and endless ends.

This is a protective barrier built by the Venerable of the Eastern Continent after the Heaven-level Martial Venerable War back then.

This colorful barrier is like an inverted bowl, guarding the entire Eastern Continent from the encroachment of several other continents.

However, only the barrier in the extreme west of the Eastern Continent was weaker, because it was built by a dying Heaven-level Martial Venerable with his own soul and body.

At that time, this Venerable had already exhausted his aura and life force, so the barrier he had built was a little weaker.

So, this is the best place to get through. Whether it was the Heaven-level Martial Venerable who was later promoted in the Eastern Continent, or the Heaven-level Martial Venerable outside the realm, they all regarded this place as the best place to break through the barrier.

At this time, in the sea area of about 100 miles near the barrier, there were hundreds of warships, each of which was occupied by hundreds of human masters, each sword out of its sheath, and spears lined up, as if facing a great enemy.

Ten miles to the opposite side of the warship were densely packed with endless sea beasts. What octopuses, sharks, lobsters and seahorses, and giant cetaceans.

All kinds of sea beasts lined up in a neat line, one by one with teeth and claws, and their eyes showed fierce eyes, confronting humans.

On a huge battleship, on the deck, a septuagenarian was talking to more than a dozen prefecture-level masters.

An old man dressed in yellow said to the septuagenarian: "Big island master, this sea beast tide is a once-in-a-thousand year! Looking at this formation, there must be at least 100,000 heads, and we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand it!"

"Yes, we only have more than 10,000 people, and we are fighting at sea, so we don't have an advantage. It is better to retreat to the island, and on land it is our world. A big man said.

The lord of the island pondered for a moment and said, "It is absolutely impossible to retreat to the island. Some time ago, the pirates who came from nowhere were not only numerous, but also very skilled. Destroyed the defenses of our islands. There is no way to resist the attack of these sea beasts. If these sea beasts were to land, it would be a nightmare for our island. ”

"Besides, I've already sent people to ask for help from other nearby islands, and soon, someone will come to help. Seeing that his subordinates were a little demoralized, Lord Oshima immediately told everyone about the request for help.

A man dressed as a scribe continued: "The Lord of the Great Island is right, we have lost our defenses, and we cannot stop the attack of sea beasts at all. If we allow the sea beasts to land, the old and weak women and children on the island, our families will be in danger. The best way is to defeat the sea beasts at sea and solve this sea beast tide. ”

When everyone heard that it was indeed reasonable, they all nodded in agreement. More than a dozen prefecture-level masters flew back to their ships, ready to direct the battle with the sea beasts.

Suddenly, a small boat rode the wind and waves and rowed over quickly.

"The sea beast is coming! the sea beast is coming!" shouted the man in the boat.

This is a scout outside, watching the movements of the sea beasts.

Knock knock!

A huge drum on the main ship was beaten by a big man, and an aqua blue battle flag was raised from the mast.

The signal soldier quickly climbed the lookout and raised the signal flag.

When the weather is fine, the line of sight is good, let the signal soldier play the flag signal to transmit the message, if the weather is bad, there will be a prefecture-level master responsible for transmitting the message.

More than a hundred battleships lined up and ready for battle. The ship's long-range attack crossbow arrows were wound one after another, and the long arrows made of pig iron several feet long were put into the arrow box, pointing straight to the sea in the distance.

After a while, huge waves broke out on the sea in the distance, and countless sea beasts gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The big island owner waved his hand and ordered: "Release the ship thorn!"

As the signal soldiers waved a few flags, the warriors on more than 100 warships lifted huge spiked balls one after another and threw them into the sea, which were connected to iron chains, and one end of the iron chain was wound around the winch.

The warrior who controlled the winch immediately adjusted the position of the ship's spurs, so that it could effectively protect the hull and bottom of the ship from the sea beasts.

Silently calculating the distance of the sea beast, when the sea beast was about eight hundred paces away from the fleet, the big island lord ordered: "Shoot the arrows!"

The main ship was the first to fire huge crossbow bolts.

Crash Crash!

More than 100 swarthy crossbow arrows crossed a graceful arc and accurately shot into the sea beast herd.

Dozens of sea beasts were killed by arrows, floating on the surface of the sea with their bellies turned up, blood staining the nearby sea water.

The rest of the warships also fired crossbow arrows, and thousands of crossbow arrows streaked through the sky and fell into the sea beast group, and hundreds of huge sea beasts immediately turned their bellies to the sky and floated up, and the sea beast group was in chaos.

Whoa!

There was a roar, and the sea beasts immediately sank to the bottom. A group of giant tortoises the size of a small mountain slowly swam over, and the sea beasts all swam underneath the giant tortoise and were protected by the giant tortoise.

Crash Crash!

Another round of arrows rained down.

Bang Bang Bang!

The crossbow bolts shot several feet long into the giant tortoise's back, and they all bounced off, not harming a single sea beast.

"Stop!" The big island lord frowned, this time the sea beast's attack was very regular, and it actually dispatched the giant turtle, which was very troublesome, and no weapon could break through the thick turtle shell.

However, although these giant tortoises have amazing defense, their attack power is pitiful. In vain, he has a strong body, but he has great strength but no ability to attack, because this giant turtle is naturally timid and afraid of things.

The big island lord ordered loudly: "Prepare for close combat!"

Dangdang!

Rows of large, pointed-tipped iron stakes protruded from both sides of the ship's side to prevent sea beasts from boarding the ship.

Woo!

The first to approach were tentacle-wielding octopuses, each the size of a large hall and thicker than a bucket.

The tentacles crossed the sharp iron stake and struck at the warriors on the ship.

"Defense!"

A group of warriors with heavy shields immediately rushed up from behind and used their shields to block the attacks of the octopus' tentacles.

Bang bang bang!

The tentacles hit the shield, and some warriors with low cultivation spurted blood from their mouths and were crushed into meat patties by the shield.

"Slash!"

A group of high-ranking human-level warriors with long-handled sabers jumped up from behind the shieldholders, raised their sabers and slashed at the octopus's tentacles.

Puff puff!

Countless tentacles were cut off, and jet-black blood spurted onto the battleship, emitting a foul smell.

The octopus let out a painful wail, spat out a cloud of black ink, sank to the bottom of the sea, and fled.

Moo!

There was an earth-shattering roar from the sea beasts.

The big island lord was startled when he heard this roar, "Oh no, how come the Tiger Shark King brought the sea beasts to attack." ”

The Tiger Shark King is the king of the sea in this area, and has a strength comparable to that of a human ground-level eight-rank cultivator, but it is still only a fifth-level demon beast.

The Tiger Shark King is cruel and bloodthirsty. There are many human warriors who have fallen under its sharp teeth.

Usually, the Tiger Shark King cultivates in his own deep-sea palace, and it is easy not to come out. Unexpectedly, this sea beast tide, the Tiger Shark King actually came in person.
