Chapter 172: Encounter with a Sea Monster (Supplement 2)
This chapter was supposed to be sent yesterday, but something delayed, so it was sent today. There will still be updates today, so stay tuned! ^_^——
When Lin Lan heard this, she couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "Is there anything that the ship owner can't solve that he can't solve?" "
Yu Zezhi glanced at her, although he looked down on this kind of woman who was committed to serving people in exchange for cultivation resources, but after all, he didn't look at the monk's face but also looked at the Buddha's face, and thought about the Jindan monk behind her, as well as the power behind the Jindan monk, and suddenly felt that it was actually good to talk to them first, so that if they had a preparation first, if something really appeared, maybe there would be nobles to help, so he said very enthusiastically: "Lin Daoyou is the first time to come to this endless sea, So it's understandable not to know the way. The Endless Sea is not a good place, and although it may encounter great opportunities, it also faces great dangers. To be honest, I've been walking around this place for decades, and I've never encountered such a situation, and I haven't encountered a single attack since I entered the Endless Sea.
Lin Lan couldn't help but look at him curiously and asked, "Is this Endless Sea really so dangerous?" It's not normal to not have an attack, so it's worth worrying about? "
Yu Zezhi smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it! There are many sea monsters in the Endless Sea, and it is normal to be attacked. If we don't see a single sea monster in sight, it only means that something must have happened to this place, and the only thing we can do is pray that we can escape! "
Lin Lan heard what he said seriously, and the relaxed expression on her face couldn't help but put away. Yu Zezhi originally intended to reveal these things to her, and when he saw that she listened, he was naturally relieved. The two of them actually didn't have the heart to talk at this time, and chatted casually. Lin Lan asked a few questions about the Endless Sea, and although Yu Zezhi had something in mind, he still answered in as much detail as possible, and Lin Lan left.
After only two steps, a sudden feeling of danger arose. Her footsteps paused, and she subconsciously looked back, but suddenly saw a huge fish head breaking out of the water from the side of the boat, and rose to the top of the two heads in the blink of an eye, and then opened her mouth and spit out, and the huge water arrow smashed down on the head.
"Be careful! Lin Lan shouted. With a wave of his hand, the hairpin turned into a match, covering Zezhi's whole body, and then pulled back violently, and he suddenly rose into the air. With a "whew" sound, he flew over the edge of the water arrow, although the clothes on his body were cut several times by the water arrow. His body was rubbed by the aftermath of the water arrow. But after all, he retreated with his whole body and did not suffer any fatal injuries.
And it was only at this time that Yu Zezhi suddenly reacted, first glanced at Lin Lan gratefully, then turned his head to look at the fish head, and immediately cried out bitterly, how could it be a spiny scale fish?!
This stingy fish is a low-to-medium sea monster in the Endless Sea. Although the level is not very high, the power is not small.
They have a thorny scale on their back, and when they encounter an enemy, they can use the thorny scales on their back as a weapon and shoot a salvo of arrows at the enemy. Due to the size of this fish are quite huge. A single head can be two stories tall, so it has a lot of scales on its back, and once fired, it is like a rain of arrows, leaving its enemies with no choice but to die.
In addition, like other sea monsters, it is naturally proficient in the most basic water-based attacks such as water spraying, and also due to its size, it is also launched by water arrows, and its firing is so powerful that it is more powerful than other sea monsters.
Because of this, although it does not have many attack methods and its form is simple, it can still barely squeeze into the category of mid-level sea monsters.
Yu Zezhi has been running in this sea for decades, and he can be regarded as an experienced person, so he was only stunned for a moment at the beginning, and then reacted and returned to normal, while shouting loudly to order the sailors on the ship to resist, and on the other hand, he issued instructions to the monks on the ship to assist in the battle.
In addition to the fare for boarding a sea ship in such a place, another condition is to help the shipowner cope with all possible attacks. There are few monks who have objections to this, after all, they are also on that ship, and if something happens, not only will the other people on the ship be unlucky, but they will not be able to escape, so helping is actually helping themselves, so they will admit it.
At this moment, the monks on the first floor all gathered and launched an attack on the stinging fish. They all used their housekeeping skills to attack the fish's head, but the fish's head was so strong that the monks' attacks did not cause any danger to it, but seemed to arouse its wildness, and with a sudden leap, its whole body leaping out of the water.
Everyone looked at its body of a fish that was dozens of feet long, and they were speechless for a while. With such a huge fish, can they really deal with it?
However, fortunately, many of them have seen the world, and there are not a few people who have encountered spiny scale fish, so they spontaneously organized themselves and divided into three echelons: front, middle and back. The front echelon is mainly people who are good at melee attacks, and are responsible for hand-to-hand combat against this spiny fish; The rear echelon is the one who is good at long-range attacks, responsible for containing the scaly fish from the rear and providing support for the attack of the front echelon. The rest of the people are in the middle echelon, and there are no special requirements, they only need to attack according to their own good attack methods, and they are responsible for attracting the attention of the other party.
The three echelons have a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, although it is the first time to join forces against the enemy, but it seems to be very tacit. For a while, I saw the light of all kinds of magic weapons flashing above the sea boat, as beautiful as fireworks, and the huge energy contained in it made people can't help but be a little frightened.
However, the size of the spiny scale fish was so large that even if they used their magic weapons, it would be very difficult for them to make substantial progress. Relying on its huge size, thick skin and thick flesh, it didn't care much about the attacks of these monks in the foundation building period, but under the attack of the stinging scale fish, many low-level monks had already been injured, and for a while I saw all kinds of spells flying all over the sky, water arrows and fish scales flying wildly, and from time to time someone wailed and fell to the ground, and then was quickly transferred out of the ground, and a new monk came up.
To put it bluntly, sea monsters like the Thorny Scale Fish are not so powerful that they have to let the monks of the Jindan period come forward, so they naturally let these monks of the foundation building period take the leading role.
As one of the first monks to discover the thorny scale fish, Lin Lan naturally stood at the forefront to meet the enemy. Originally, she could handle a sea monster of this level alone, but at this moment, since she played the role of a monk in the foundation building period, it was naturally difficult to show her ability beyond her colleagues, so she only mixed in the crowd and couldn't do anything. So far, the situation is still under control, and she is happy to be at ease.
However, as soon as Yu Zezhi finished speaking, he was worried that this trip was abnormal, so he immediately jumped out of such a sea monster that was not strong or weak, and he didn't know how he was feeling now? Is it a blessing or a misfortune?
Yu Zezhi's current mood is indeed a little complicated. He had just finished worrying that he hadn't encountered anything strange this time, and a spiny scale fish immediately appeared, and he really didn't know whether to say that it was good or unfortunate. Since he dared to run this route, he naturally still had some skills under his command, and he was also a monk in the early stage of Jindan, so he would naturally not be too nervous when he encountered such a spiny scale fish. It's just that he hasn't encountered a sea monster before, and now it's something like a spiny scale fish, no matter how strange he thinks, he naturally can't get up easily.
Soon, the fish was wiped out by the monks on board, and its massive body became the food ration for the monks for the next few days. As for the demon pills on its body, according to the rules, they were going to become Yu Zezhi's trophies, so he sent someone to collect them, and other materials that could be used were also put away one by one, and the sea ship continued to sail towards the depths of the sea.
As if marked by the appearance of this spiny scale fish, on the next journey, all kinds of sea monsters began to jump out, from the middle and low-level sea monsters, all the way to the high level, from the first and second orders all the way to the fifth and sixth orders, as they sailed deeper, the level of the sea monsters that appeared became higher and higher.
At the beginning, the monks in the foundation building period can be used to deal with it alone, which can be regarded as a warm-up before reaching the Endless Sea, the monks first began to get used to dealing with the sea monsters here on the ship, and when they really arrived in the Inland Sea, they already had some foundation, and then they would not be in a hurry to deal with other sea monsters alone. However, as the level of the sea monster became higher and higher, the monks in the foundation building period were gradually unable to cope with it, and they had to dispatch the monks of the Jindan period. It's just that the monks of the Jindan period are not able to command if they say they can command, so the monks of the Jindan period are first obtained by the ship themselves, and when they can't deal with it, it is the turn of the passengers on the ship.
Helian Qiqing, as a guest on the ship, naturally couldn't help but make a move. It's just that after all, he is the power of the Yuan Infant Stage, but he can only be used as the Jindan Period, which is really a little wronged. For this reason, he complained to Lin Lan a lot, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only bear it obediently.
On this day, it was already two months after they left Nanming Port.
"The Kraken is coming! "Someone shouted from the deck.
After these days of confrontation, the people on the ship have lost the slightest nervousness about the creature of the sea monster. I heard that there was a sea monster attacking, everyone should do what and what to do, no injury or less injury, take the magic weapon out to prepare to meet the enemy, the seriously injured are resting in the cabin, the monks of the Jindan period and the Yuan infant stage are as stable as Mount Tai in their own cabins, and wait until the monks outside can not handle it and then ask them to help.
