Chapter 425: Crow's Beak (Happy New Year to everyone!) )
The Dongfeng sailed day and night in the rough sea.
On deck.
The sailors, who are not working for the time being, are lined up in a neat formation and are carrying out their daily drills.
Old Man Jin and Jin Zheng operated a huge sea fishing rod at the stern of the boat, trying to catch a few sea fish to eat.
Luo Hongchen and several eighth-level soul masters nested in the research room on the ship, discussing the design plan of the ninth-level soul guide.
The endless sea, the cloudless sky, the warm and salty sea breeze, everything is so beautiful.
Xia Ling is now staying with the super navigator Tudou, scanning the surrounding sea with his powerful mental power to assist him in completing the unknown chart.
In just a few days, the Dongfeng had reached the farthest sea that no one had ever set foot before.
There is a blank white space on the chart, waiting for the pioneers to be enriched.
Everything after that needs to be explored by everyone on the Dongfeng by themselves.
Just like Magellan, who made his first circumnavigation of the globe.
When the charts are complete, they will have to save a lot of things the next time they return to the Sun Moon Continent
Above the towering bridge, a spherical silver object was constantly emitting some kind of ripple.
This is a seventh-level soul guide known as the Eye of Observation, which is a bionic soul guide made based on the body structure of the Evil Eye Clan.
The role is very simple, that is, to observe the surroundings and detect any fluctuations.
It's a bit similar to what ultrasonic radar and sonar do.
Just when Xia Ling silently recovered his mental strength, Tudou suddenly put down the pen of his hand-drawn drawings and stared at the seemingly calm sea.
He looked at Xia Ling, who was meditating behind him, and stopped talking.
Fortunately, Xia Ling has always left a trace of consciousness in the outside world, and he has noticed his indecisive posture.
"Potato, what's wrong? What do you want to say? ”
The navigator who was called a potato said, "My lord, I feel a little uneasy, as if a powerful sea soul beast is approaching our ship. ”
Summer Ling was stunned.
After giving the other party a gesture of calmness, he subconsciously wanted to use his divine sense to scan the surrounding sea.
However, the Divine Consciousness had been exhausted in the previous charting process, and now it could only cover the scope of the Dongfeng.
Psychic consciousness didn't indicate that danger was coming, maybe it was just his delusion, right?
Thinking so, Xia Ling asked the doubts in his heart.
"How do you know if a powerful sea soul beast has appeared?"
"By feeling."
"Feelings?"
"Yes, that's exactly what it feels like. My lord, you don't know, generally speaking, sea soul beasts rarely attack ships, and only a small number of people who are irritable or have been hurt in some way will take the initiative to attack us. ”
"Especially like our Dongfeng, even if it is placed in the sea, it can definitely be called a giant, and there are very few sea soul beasts that can't think of attacking a ship of this size."
"But everything I've said above is based on what we once sailed to. Now that we have sailed to the unknown seas, it is likely that there will be soul beasts that we are not familiar with. ”
"Maybe some soul beasts will be very sensitive to their own territory, and these soul beasts with a strong sense of territory are likely to rush to find trouble because they haven't seen us."
"In the past, when we were fishing, we also encountered many powerful soul beasts attacking the boats. Therefore, in the past 20 years of maritime life, I have also developed some unique skills. ”
"It's hard to put into words, but every time I feel like that, nine times out of ten something happens."
Xia Ling nodded thoughtfully, affirming Tudou's rich sailing experience.
"I know what you mean, I sometimes have this feeling of whim. The foreknowledge of danger is an innate human instinct. It's just that in the long period of peace, this perception in the vast majority of people has somewhat degenerated. ”
While the two were chatting, the Eye of Observation on the bridge released a piercing hum.
The herald jumped off the bridge and landed beside Summer Spirit.
"My lord, we have detected a soul beast resembling an octopus rapidly approaching us. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the cultivation is about 80,000 years. ”
"Well, it's pretty accurate."
Summer Ling chuckled and stood up from the deck.
"Where's that guy?"
The herald pointed to the northeast of the bow of the ship and said loudly: "To the northeast, one thousand meters below the surface of the sea, less than five kilometers from us." ”
Xia Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he directly released the Dawn Martial Spirit.
A white light rushed straight into the bottom of the sea, facing the northeast and shooting out.
Although the gods have the bottom line, there is nothing wrong with using the realm as a detector.
When he felt a giant octopus dozens of meters in size, waving eight tentacles and moving towards the Dongfeng, Xia Ling showed an evil smile.
What is the name of the boat they are on?
The USS Dongfeng!
Since it is called a ship, then this is definitely full of force value.
If you don't do it with a real sword, wouldn't you be very sorry for the long spear and short cannon of the Dongfeng that is armed like a hedgehog?
"All are ready for combat at the first level, and all are ready for combat at the first level. In the northeast, an 80,000-year-old Yaomutan Fire Emblem octopus has attacked, and it is expected that there will be three more minutes to make contact with us. ”
As the amplified soul guide spread the high-pitched voice of the herald throughout the ship, the sailors on the deck were all like chickens.
Quickly but orderly dressed neatly, came to the position of their own operation.
The many soul guides on the right chord of the Dongfeng have all begun to be charged, and the energy reserves in the energy storage pool are decreasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Xia Ling looked at these excited sailors with some inexplicability, and quietly asked the potatoes on the side, "I said, why are they so excited?" Do they know how terrifying an 80,000-year-old soul beast is? ”
Potato smiled, "My lord, this is what you don't know. Not only do they know, but they know the weakness of this flame crested octopus. In the more than a year of training, Mr. Jin has not let us go out to sea to catch this kind of big guy.
"The process of sailing on the sea is boring, and at this time, there are you and many soul masters on the ship as a solid backing, and these veterans have long been idle, and they wish they could fight with the sea soul beasts. After all, such good weapons and equipment were untouchable to them before. ”
Summer Spirit: "......"
Think about it for a moment......
It makes sense!
What man can resist the pleasure of firing with a weapon?
The smile gradually covered the fire. JPG
The poor Yaobian fire crest octopus is estimated to be enough for everyone to eat for several days.
Xia Ling's feet stepped on it, and it landed lightly on one of the eighth-level soul guide cannons in the bow of the ship.
As far as the eye can see, the 80,000-year-old flame pattern octopus has surfaced.
The red brachiopods, which are tens of meters long, constantly lap the seawater, and the scorching breath emitted continuously evaporates the seawater into steam.
The Dongfeng is about two kilometers away from it.
The two sides are facing each other from afar.
The entire sea area is covered with fog and haze, which seriously blocks the view.
Such a strange creature usually only exists in the books of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy Library, and even the summer spirit is the first time to see it with his own eyes.
Flame-like red lines loomed over the massive pink body, as if a flame was burning.
From a distance, not only is it not ugly, but it has a strange beauty.
Old Man Jin and Jin Zheng heard the previous order, and also rushed to the bow of the ship at this time.
Holding a well-made telescope, Old Man Jin carefully detected the looming flame octopus in the distance, and muttered straight in his mouth.
"How many meals does it take to eat such a big octopus......
The soul guide engine had entered idle mode, and the hull had stabilized, aiming sideways at the behemoth in the distance.
All kinds of soul guide weapons have been fully charged, and they can launch a volley of earth-destroying fires at the sound of an order.
Originally, Xia Ling was going to pull it over directly to fuck his mother.
As a result, after releasing his divine sense and carefully probing, he found that this guy was not 80,000 years old at all.
This is a king octopus that is at least 100,000 years old.
Judging from the aura coming from the other party's body, it may even be a fierce beast.
It seems that the previous barrier between the sea and the fog was too severe, allowing the instrument to miscalculate.
Due to the lack of relevant information, Xia Ling didn't know what the specific year of the other party's cultivation was.
At least a soul beast that is more than 100,000 years old, it seems a bit of a pity to kill and eat meat like this.
If the Yao Mutant Fire Emblem Octopus in the distance knew what these people on the Dongfeng were thinking, they would definitely feel very aggrieved.
I just felt that something I hadn't seen before came into the territory and wanted to come and see it, why did you want to kill me and eat meat?
What, am I still breaking the law when I walk around my house?
Yes.
This octopus king, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, has been cruising in the deep sea, has never seen a ship, and does not know what humans and soul masters are.
She's just patrolling the territory on a daily basis when she spots a rumbling thing over her head and wants to float up to see what it is, that's all.
Although the octopus did not understand why this hard-looking fish made such a strange noise.
But that didn't stop her from coming and expelling her.
This is her territory, how can other creatures take over?
You made such a loud noise and scared away all the fish, shrimp and crabs, wouldn't I be hungry today?
However, the other party looks hard and must not be very tasty.
In addition, this strange fish has some unsettling aura on its body, so it is better not to fight as much as possible, and just drive it away.
That's right.
This is not only a fierce beast that has been cultivated for 200,000 years, but also a female octopus.
So she stretched out her two wrists and feet, lit a flame and began to wave.
Normally, every time she does this, the other person is scared away.
Nonsense, a fire that can be lit in the deep sea, how hot is that.
Of course, the sea creatures who like cold and don't like heat will instinctively leave her side.
However......
Standing on the Dongfeng and watching this scene, the summer spirit brain melon seeds were buzzing.
What the hell is this big guy doing here?
Greeting me?
In a demonstration?
No way.
There is no record in the book, and the devil knows what she meant by this action.
As the holder of the Double Killing Realm, Xia Ling is undoubtedly the most sensitive to murderous aura.
Although the other party was huge, there was no fluctuation of killing intent.
Xia Ling is a little unsure of this time.
After asking around, no one on the Dongfeng knew what the other party was doing.
Or......
Why don't you just go up and ask?
The bewildered summer Lingzhen Dragon martial soul possessed, and flew over to meet the other party.
On the other side of the mist, the Yaomutation Fire Emblem Octopus, which had been waving the blind chicken for about ten minutes, also felt very depressed.
I was already working hard to intimidate, why didn't the other party leave?
In the past, when I encountered other fish, as long as I stretched out my wrists and feet to release some flames, they would be frightened and flee in all directions.
Some will even be killed outright.
Fish that has been scalded to death by the flames is much better than eating it directly.
No, no, it's off topic!
Aren't the other party afraid?
I have to say that these creatures that have cultivated to such a big size by themselves are really simple.
The favorable living environment in the ocean makes these soul beasts with strong bloodlines not need to worry about natural enemies at all.
Well......
Because it is so strong, there is no such thing as a natural predator.
In addition, the ocean is such a big one, and unlike the Star Dou Great Forest, the 100,000-year-old soul beasts still need to gather together to grab the Lake of Life and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
This leads to the fact that as long as the Sea Soul Beast has a strong enough bloodline, it will be easy to grow to 100,000 years.
Due to the large number of beasts, there are also many fierce beasts that are more than 200,000 years old.
The Flame Emblem Octopus was still waving its tentacles vigorously, not noticing that someone had flown in front of him.
"Hello?"
Xia Ling directly used the way of spiritual power communication to transmit his words to the other party's spiritual sea.
The sudden sound in his head obviously startled the Yao Changing Fire Pattern Octopus.
Her sapphire eyes quickly focused, and she finally spotted a golden figure in front of her.
"Who are you?"
When this slightly puzzled coquettish female voice appeared in the sea of knowledge, Xia Ling stayed on the spot.
Nima, is this still a fucking octopus girl?
It's outrageous!
Ahem, it's how this voice sounds and how it feels a little not very smart.
Pressing to endure the feeling of lying in his heart, Xia Ling continued to express his kindness with mental fluctuations.
"Hello, my name is Xia Ling, and I am a human soul master."
The Flame Emblem Octopus shook its brain shell in confusion.
After carefully poking the dragon scales of Xia Ling with the sharp tips of her wrists and feet, she spoke, "Human soul master? What is that? ”
"Uh......"
This sentence stopped Xia Ling.
How can this be explained?
"Uh...... It is...... A similar kind of ...... to you. Creature. It's just that we live on land and you live in the ocean. ”
The Yao Mutation Fire Emblem Octopus seemed to feel that the dragon scales on the summer spirit arm were slippery and comfortable, and it kept poking.
She poked and replied, "Oh, I see, you're a fish that lives on land, right?" Your scales are so beautiful, golden. ”
Summer Spirit: "......"
Okay, what do you want to understand as it......
"Ahem, so may I ask Miss Octopus, do you have a name?"
"You can call me Hachi. Oops, your scales are so comfortable to the touch, can you stay with me? ”
"Can't...... No...... Miss Hachi, can you stop poking me? ”
"Your scales are nice to touch, hee-hee."
“...... Almost, you're almost ripping my clothes. ”
"Clothes? What is that? ”
“...... I tmd. ”
