Chapter 557: Casting Long Bait to Catch Big Fish
Lu Yi's inspiration came from this ransacked giant ship, the ship was attacked by a wave of sea beasts more than 20,000 miles away from Lu Yi and them, the number of this wave of sea beasts is not too much, but there are quite a few sixth-order sea beasts, and there are four sixth-order monks and dozens of fifth-order monks on the giant ship, plus the leader of its own guards is also three sixth-order monks, but it has a good fight with the sea beasts, and in the end, at the cost of the lives of more than twenty fifth-order monks and one sixth-order monk, they finally repelled the other party.
When Lu Yi heard from the guard monk on the ship that those sea beasts behaved quite strangely, and after killing the monks facing the ship on the ship, they did not devour the monk's corpse as before, but rushed to snatch the items left by the monk, Lu Yi's mind suddenly flashed and he thought of a bold idea. After the eight of them said goodbye to the giant wheel, Lu Yi said to Xu Xing'er: "Senior Sister Xu, generally speaking, is it impossible for a demon beast to exert the power of a magic weapon before it transforms?"
"Well, I've never heard of a demon beast that can use a magic weapon before it transforms. Xu Xing'er nodded, she didn't know what Lu Yi wanted to express, and looked at him blankly.
"However, I once made a demon beast friend, and although it was only a sixth-order demon beast, I had a strong interest in a spear magic weapon, and I had a lot of fun asking for it. The demon beast was still in its infancy, and it was a wind and thunder beast with noble blood, and its intelligence was quite high. And just now I heard these guards say that the sea beasts are competing to snatch the monk's magic weapons, and I suddenly wondered if they are also the same as my demon beast friends. I thought we should ask a few more of the attacked ships to see if something similar was happening, and I suspect that these monsters seem to be trying to curry favor with their leaders by obtaining these artifacts. Lu Yi's reasoning stunned Xu Xing'er and the others, and they looked at Lu Yi with incredible eyes one by one. As everyone knows, Lu Yi's inference really hit the key point of the monster riot in recent years.
"What do you mean?" Xu Xing'er herself didn't know why, but now she had an unconditional trust in Lu Yi, and she actually had a sense of identity with Lu Yi's fantastical reasoning.
"I think we need to return to Mingsha Island immediately, and have the Inspector send someone to visit the attacked ships separately to see if there is a similar situation, and if this is the case, then it proves that my inference is not wrong, and then I have the next step. Lu Yi said in a firm tone.
"That's it, we haven't been out for a long time, in order to prevent others from misunderstanding that we are afraid of death, I will first summon back and let the Inspector help investigate, if the situation is really as you said, we will return to Mingsha Island. Xu Xing'er said that as the leader of the group, she still has some concerns. But she didn't know that Sun Zhenghai was very precious to Lu Yi, and she wished that Lu Yi could return to her as soon as possible and let herself take care of it.
"Well, that's fine, in case my guess is wrong, I won't waste time because of this, just do what Senior Sister Xu said. Lu Yi nodded. At that moment, Xu Xing'er sent a message to Sun Zhenghai, and the eight of them continued to wander in the Chaos Sea.
Two months have passed, Xu Xing'er finally received a message from Mingsha Island, after this period of investigation, sure enough, things are as Lu Yi expected, those sea ships that were attacked by the beast tide all reflect that the other party has snatched the monk's magic weapon, and not only the monk's magic weapon was robbed, and even a sea ship once went to participate in the flower boat competition, the carving was particularly beautiful, it was overturned by a group of monsters and dragged into the deep sea by several huge monsters, and the crew on the ship was not attacked by the sea beasts after falling into the water, which also made those crew feel confused and happy at that timeใ It's like, there is a treasure hunting competition between demon beasts, everything that is beautiful and strange will be looted by the other party, and the more high-level monsters appear, the greater the chance of such a thing happening.
Now, all the personnel of the other teams who came to investigate the sea beast tide incident have gathered on Mingsha Island, and even Fairy Ru Yue has arrived, under Sun Zhenghai's plan, everyone has prepared a beautiful flower boat, and all the members of the team use the elixir of concealing breath to suppress Xiu Wei and hide in the cabin, intending to use this as bait to lure the sea beast into being fooled, and strive to inflict heavy damage on it or be able to find the true root cause of the frequent occurrence of beast tides. And Sun Zhenghai and Fairy Ru Yue hid in the void above the flower boat, following the flower boat from a distance in case of accidents. The flower boat has already set off, and the direction is where Xu Xing'er's group is located, Ru Yue Fairy ordered Xu Xing'er to lead all the members of the group to quickly move closer to the flower boat, and strive to meet the flower boat before encountering the beast tide, so everyone can concentrate on fighting a beautiful ambush battle. And this idea also coincides with Lu Yi's previous strategy.
After receiving the order, Xu Xinger led everyone to approach the flower boat according to the established route, and finally it took more than three months to successfully meet the flower boat. In the distance, I saw a large ship with a length of 100 zhang was painted into the image of a beautiful giant bird, and two huge wings were symbolically installed on both sides of the hull, and a large number of flowers, lanterns and other decorative things were arranged on the deck, which was very gorgeous. Lu Yi took a look at his spiritual power and found that there were only more than sixty "crews" on the ship, and the highest cultivation was only the "fifth order", but there were a few familiar breaths of Lu Yi among them, such as Ren Tiankuo's, such as Liu Cheng, who came to the Southern Chaos Sea earlier to do a hard job, they were all real sixth-order late-stage monks and seventh-order early monks, which shows that their cover-up methods are still very clever. On the boat where the eight people landed, after connecting with the others, they also took the pills that everyone had prepared for them in advance to conceal their true cultivation, and they suppressed their cultivation to below the sixth order one by one. In order to prevent accidents, according to the instructions of Fairy Ru Yue, Lu Yi was asked to set up another magic circle to conceal the aura to carry out double insurance, which shows that the operation was carefully arranged.
The flower boat is sailing on the chaotic sea like this, especially at night, the whole flower boat is brightly lit, like a pearl drifting on the sea, it is very eye-catching.
This is a dark and windy night, the huge flower boat is blooming with brilliant colors slowly sailing on the dark sea, without warning, a huge force came from underwater, hit the bottom of the flower boat, the top of the flower boat off the water, jumped in the air nearly ten zhang high and then slapped heavily to the water, stirring up high waves. This time, the whole flower boat lost the power to move forward, and could only stand quietly on the calm sea. Around the flower boat, more than twenty huge black shadows appeared at this moment, the smallest of which was dozens of zhang in size, and these black shadows were all sixth-order sea beasts. There are huge octopuses, hideous-looking giant sharks, and even giant whales that are no less long than flower boats, and any one of them alone is enough to make monks below the seventh order flee in fear.
On the flower boat surrounded by sea beasts, dozens of human monks soon appeared, and at this moment, all the monks had already flown in the sky, and at the same time, the breath of all the monks was no longer reserved, and a suffocating and powerful coercion spread, forming a silent confrontation with the surrounding demon beasts.
At this moment, a group of sea beasts have also discovered the abnormality of the situation, and they can grow to the point where they are now, each sea beast has also gone through countless years, and their knowledge and wisdom are not low, their eyes at the moment are full of killing intent, because they know that this time, they have been calculated by cunning humans.
The two sides entered a brief confrontation, neither of them took the lead in attacking, however, neither side had the intention of evacuating, the sea beast side was obviously also organized, a nearly transparent octopus with twelve tentacles, the body size was more than sixty zhang, it turned out to be a mutated ghost chapter, which was nearly two percent larger than the ghost chapter that Lu Yi had seen back then. Beside it, at this moment, gathered a giant whale a hundred zhang away and a giant shark with a body size of nearly thirty zhang, this ghost chapter has eight eyes, and is muttering around at the moment, as if looking for the flaws of these human monks above the flower boat, and the twelve tentacles are poking out from the water from time to time, whipping the sea surface to stir up bursts of waves.
Lu Yi's side is now except for the two Soul Cultivation Stage monks who are hidden in the void, the rest of the people have all appeared, four seventh-order monks, two mid-seventh-order monks, two people in the early seventh-order stage, and the remaining sixty-seven people are all sixth-order monks, and only Lu Yi is in the early stage of the sixth order, and the rest of the people are all in the middle and late stages of the sixth order, and there are as many as eight people in the late stage of perfection. In terms of quantitative comparison, a situation has basically been formed in which human monks are three against one. However, the sixth-order demon beast, especially this huge sea beast, its strength is much stronger than that of the monks of the same level, and it occupies a geographical advantage, even if it is three against one, the monk's side may not be able to really bargain.
Except for the four seventh-order monks and Lu Yi, the other team members were obviously veterans who had been working together for many years, and soon, the rest of the people spontaneously formed a small three-order battle formation in groups of three or three, each battle formation just locked a sixth-order demon beast, and the four seventh-order early monks were two mid-seventh-order monks who locked the mutated ghost chapter and the Baizhang giant whale respectively, and two seventh-order early monks locked the giant shark in a group.
At this moment, the situation was unexpectedly embarrassing, Lu Yi happened to become a single gang, and was inadvertently abandoned by everyone. And on the side of the demon beast, there was also an octopus with a body length of nearly thirty zhang left, and no one could deal with it.
Soon, Lu Yi and the monks also discovered this problem, and Lu Yi was sweating profusely, this is too damn unreasonable!
