Chapter 20: Corals

The effect of the water avoidance charm is not as someone said, it can also move freely in the water as on land, the water avoidance charm cannot completely eliminate the resistance and pressure of the sea water, and the action has to consume true qi, after diving for more than ten zhang, Ling Qingyun felt a little dizzy, wiped a handful of fine sweat on his forehead, and threw it directly into the sea.

"Why is this Nizi so fast?" Ling Qingyun looked at Jin Xuanxuan, who was faster than herself, and secretly wondered, her cultivation should be much higher than her, but when she was puzzled, the blue figure below stopped, followed by a violent fluctuation of true qi.

"It's not good, Xuanxuan is in danger!" Ling Qingyun's expression changed slightly, and he accelerated to rush downward, but saw that Jin Xuanxuan had already drawn out his talisman sword and confronted a black strange fish with a flat body and diamond-shaped and winged fins.

"Manta rays?" Ling Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although manta rays looked strange and were named manta rays, they were actually not aggressive, even so Ling Qingyun did not slow down, manta rays generally do not attack people, but if they feel threatened, they also have the possibility of attacking.

What is surprising is that when Ling Qingyun came to Jin Xuanxuan's side to comfort her, the girl had already collected the sword, her eyes were shining and she reached out to touch the manta ray, and the manta ray also flapped its "wings" and swam around the girl, rubbing Jin Xuanxuan's body from time to time, and her dexterous and elegant posture was like a little sika deer!

"Second Brother Ling, look, it's a devil ray!" Jin Xuanxuan smiled excitedly at Ling Qingyun, the previous anger had long disappeared without a trace.

"You have to be careful, manta rays often play pranks on fishermen, if you slap the fins on a whim, the power is not weaker than the bear's paw!" Ling Qingyun glanced at the manta ray's wing-like pectoral fins that were full of length, and reminded the happy girl, I don't know if the manta ray understood, and when he swam over, he turned sideways and took his soft-looking head against Ling Qingyun's back, which was not light, which made people feel a chest tightness.

"Even a little white rabbit is dangerous in your eyes!" Jin Xuanxuan glanced at Ling Qingyun angrily, Ling Qingyun secretly thought that some kind of snow rabbit in the north could kill a goshawk with one leg, but it was still not good to look at this atmosphere.

Although it is fun to play with manta rays, this trip is not only for diving and playing, even if Jin Xuanxuan is reluctant, she has to wave goodbye to the interesting big black fish, continue to dive ten zhang, and arrive at the destination of this trip, Red Candle Coral Reef.

"Here...... It's beautiful. The two people who saw the underwater scene were stunned, and Jin Xuanxuan sighed after a while.

"It's beautiful. Ling Qingyun thought it was true, the bright seabed illuminated by the sun, colorful, all kinds of corals like fire trees and silver flowers, colorful swimming fish shuttling among them, white mussels opening and closing to reveal beautiful pearls, countless white particles floating like snow...... This is the underwater beauty they have never seen before, but it leads people to reverie the mythical Dragon King Crystal Palace.

Among the various types of coral, the most striking is the beautiful coral with a fiery red color and a jewel-like clarity, which is hidden from many of its kind, but no one can take their eyes off it.

Ling Qingyun came to the closest fiery red coral to him, and carefully cut off the finger infused with true qi as a knife. This piece of coral was about an inch long, only the thickness of Ling Qingyun's little finger, much smaller than a real red candle, but it was warm when it came to it, and people's bodies were warm.

"Good baby!" Ling Qingyun admired, the value of this small coral was already worth a rare medicinal herb, and it was really unrealistic to pick it up so easily...... Of course, he understood that the conditions for sailing so far and diving dozens of feet must not be taken lightly, and the value of this piece of coral was not enough to resist the water charm.

"Second Brother Ling, there is also a piece here. Jin Xuanxuan's voice came from behind her, and when Ling Qingyun turned around, she saw that she was planning to follow Ling Qingyun's example and cut off a much smaller piece of red candle coral with true qi.

"The master has already told me not to pick those below half an inch in length, because this red candle coral is not easy to grow, and you can't fish with all your might. Ling Qingyun stopped Jin Xuanxuan and explained.

"I thought coral was a stone, and this kind of thing actually grows?" Jin Xuanxuan asked curiously after retracting her little hand and sticking out her tongue mischievously.

"Similar to bird's nest and beehive, they are all the creation of living beings. Ling Qingyun held the red candle coral, but felt that it was really burning like a fire candle, and the bright red seemed to be a turbulent blood flow circling inside, which was left for the life of some lives that were so small in the eyes of people.

He sighed softly and placed the coral into the tiny basket that was handed out, no bigger than a kettle, but enough to collect the thumb-sized red candle corals.

Jin Xuanxuan didn't notice the young man's sentimentality, and seeing that Ling Qingyun had gained, she was not to be outdone and found the red candle coral to prepare to compete, but in the process, the girl's eyes turned from time to time with the various underwater scenes.

"This colorful prawn is so raw, it will break the conch with one pincer, it can't have formed a demon core, right?"

"Second Brother Ling, do you know what this is? ”

"That's a sea anemone, it's poisonous!"

"Uh......h I'd like to pick one up. ”

"Second Brother Ling, be careful, there is a shark behind you!"

"It's just a three-foot-long little one, and it doesn't dare to target a 'monster' bigger than itself, and the manta ray you just touched is much more dangerous than it. ”

Facing Jin Xuanxuan's various questions, Ling Qingyun answered over and over again in a helpless tone, but was his real mood also helpless? Looking at the magnificent underwater scenery of the freedom of the ten thousand frost heavens, and the petite shadow that jumped into it, the young man in the green shirt felt that the temperature of his chest was not under the red coral like fire.

"It's been half an hour, but the light curtain is a lot thinner. Ling Qingyun muttered to himself and glanced at the closed basket tied around his waist, the fiery red coral was loaded to a third of the height, it must be too late to fill it, I don't know what the other people's harvest is?

Thinking like this, Ling Qingyun walked to the next target and was about to cut it down, but the chill that suddenly arose in his heart made him retreat without hesitation and pulled the sword out of his waist, and the blade infused with true qi split a golden shadow at the bottom of the sea, and a red shadow was in the middle.

This is a red moray eel with a body as thick as a strong man's thighs, and its mouth full of sharp teeth and sharp teeth flashed at the young man and then closed fiercely, and the force actually set off a wave of sea, Ling Qingyun was terrified, it turned out that he unconsciously walked to the entrance of a deep cave in the crack of the rock, and naturally led to the sneak attack of the predators who were ambushed here, fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise he would have to break his leg at least if he was bitten by this big mouth!

The moray eel failed to strike but was hit in the head by the sword wave, twisting its body as if it was about to retreat into the cave, but Ling Qingyun did not dare to relax in the slightest, clenched the hilt of the sword and looked at this underwater beast vigilantly, and even Jin Xuanxuan's cry had no time to respond. The feeling of swinging a sword in the water is very strange, and the body method is even more useless, in this case, if you are still negligent, you will really find death.

A man and a fish confronted each other for a few breaths, the huddled moray eel struck suddenly, like lightning directly attacking the prey, Ling Qingyun, who had already prepared, poured true qi on the side of his body, using the characteristics of the water avoidance charm to slide out horizontally, and at the same time, the sword in his hand slashed down violently, leaving a hideous scar on the moray eel's body that penetrated its back and abdomen.

"Demon beast or xeno?" Ling Qingyun was awe-struck for a while, this sword was enough on land to directly cut a python with the same waist circumference in half, even if there was a factor that he couldn't exert his full strength, this guy's skin and flesh were too tough.

The moray eel was enraged, and struggled to shake its tail and open its mouth to take Ling Qingyun's throat, and at the same time, blue and white light surged all over its body, and the sea water was slightly distorted by the invisible force, and this moray eel actually released a strong electric current!

"Electric eel?" Ling Qingyun, who felt a burst of paralysis in his body, was slightly stunned and immediately urged his true qi to penetrate his whole body, but the paralysis was immediately resolved, but it was too late to dodge the fatal bite of the moray eel, so he had to turn his heart sideways, and the true qi was frantically poured into the sword body, and the brilliant three-foot Qingfeng was cutting straight at the blood basin mouth of the moray eel!

Even the bottom of the sea seemed to have the sound of the sword, and the sword style of defeating Lin Qiancheng and killing the first-order demon bear shone in the sea, splitting the red electric eel that had dominated the coral reef for a long time from the center of its head, and the head of the red electric eel was split to both sides, and both eyes were staring at the boss, as if they didn't believe that any creature could break free from their current paralysis in such a short time, let alone believe that they would have such a terrible way to die.

"Whew!" Ling Qingyun gasped for breath, it was really a moment of relief just now, if he was too late to untie the paralysis, he was afraid that he would not cut off the head of the moray eel himself, but would have been bitten off by this fierce beast, fortunately, his ancestral technique was the Haoran Wind and Thunder Technique, although the attribute had been converted into Jinxing, he still had better resistance to thunder and lightning than ordinary people...... After a half-gasp of breath, he glanced at the top of his head in hindsight, and there was still someone's feet on the waves, this Tianxing powerhouse who could control the power of heaven and earth for miles away promised to ensure that everyone was well over.

"This danger between life and death really can't be ignored. Ling Qingyun thought helplessly, and when he turned around, he was facing his golden eyes full of worry.

"Second Brother Ling, you scared me to death just now, but fortunately you're fine!" Jin Xuanxuan held Ling Qingyun's hand tightly and slapped his body anxiously: "Are you injured here?" I seemed to see you swept ...... by that guy's tail just now."

This appearance touched Ling Qingyun's heart, and he gently held the girl's little hand, comforting in the gentlest tone possible: "It's okay, it's just that the true qi is consumed too much, and I'm just a little tired." ”

Hearing Ling Qingyun's words, the worry on Jin Xuanxuan's face was slightly soothed but did not disappear, she looked up at the slightly pale face of the young man, and finally let out a faint sigh: "It's okay, Brother Qingyun, I was so worried just now......"

"It's okay, that moray eel has been killed by me......" Ling Qingyun couldn't say any more comforting words, so he had to say softly like coaxing his own brother, Jin Xuanxuan and Ling Qingyun, who in turn comforted him, looked at each other for a while, but finally couldn't help but laugh: "Second Brother Ling, you are so stupid......

"Stupid?" Ling Qingyun was a little stunned, but he had to admit obediently to Jin Xuanxuan's extremely serious eyes: "You say stupid, that's stupid." ”

"Poof......" Jin Xuanxuan couldn't help but laugh again: "Brother Qingyun, that guy is a demon beast, right?

"I think it's a monster, it's very strong and defensive. Ling Qingyun bowed his head, but turned his gaze to the moray eel carcass on the side, there were already many small fish and shrimp competing for a big meal, and the life cycle of the ocean was much faster than that on land.

Ling Qingyun stepped forward to make the fish and shrimp retreat, he struggled to dissect the body of the moray eel and searched for a while, finally revealing a look of disappointment: "There is no demon core, maybe it was destroyed before, or it is a pure xenomorph." ”

"If it's a different species, you can catch it, maybe you can improve your cultivation by eating it!" Jin Xuanxuan's eyes lit up with an idea.

"I'm afraid it's not easy. Ling Qingyun smiled bitterly, this moray eel was more than a zhang long, and he didn't know if it could be held up with the buoyancy provided by the water avoidance talisman, but just as he was thinking about it, a flash of light from the moray eel's cave attracted his attention.

"All heaven and earth spirit treasures are guarded by strange beasts, could it be that this is the case here?" Ling Qingyun's heart moved, one mountain is not as good as two tigers, and there should be no danger in the cave after the moray eel dies, so he boldly walked to the cave, and then, his eyes lit up.

"Xuanxuan, this is for you!" Ling Qingyun turned around, the pearls on his palms glowed with colorful halos, and they were intoxicatingly beautiful.

The girl was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth as if in disbelief, and then smiled like a flower.

"Thank you, Brother Qingyun!"
