Chapter 66: The Sharks
Although Zishou had never seen the sea before, he had already prepared to conquer Dongyi when Dashang discovered the two salt mines, and he had already begun to read the classics when he was still the king of Shou, and learned about the various risks and dangerous creatures in the sea that he might encounter along the way.
So he guessed what it was when he heard three hearts beating at the same time.
After cutting off a huge tentacle himself, he was even more sure of his thoughts.
A giant adult octopus!
Just by looking at the slippery tentacles that are two or three miles long, you can guess that its body should be hundreds of zhang huge!
And it can hide its heartbeat in the previous sea area and wait for the fleet to arrive, and after the sound of the bone flute, it will attack the fleet, and it must be a monster that already has wisdom.
But who is playing the flute?
After the few small winged ships at the front were scattered by the giant octopus, the front of the fleet had been replaced by a large wing ship to lead the way, but fortunately, Zishou and several masters came in time and did not let the sea beast cause more damage.
The dense fog had already faded a lot, but as the fleet moved forward, it began to thicken again, and Zishou was standing on the leading ship at this time, directly exploring the way with a broad divine sense, guiding the direction of the fleet.
But it stands to reason that they have already arrived in the Dongyi Sea area, could it be that the Dongyi people have been living in such an environment that does not see the light of day?
Or is it true, as he thinks, that there is something strange in this thick fog?
In the dense fog, the speed of the fleet sailed a lot, but it was possible to reach Dongyi in three days, and it stands to reason that Dongyi ships should have come out to patrol a long time ago, and even if they just looked at it from a distance, they would be discovered.
However, they had not touched the Dongyi boats since the fog began.
It's quirky.
Zishou thought expressionlessly, spreading his divine sense all the time was a burden even for him in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, so his face that was as warm as jade in the past became a little pale, but the sea surface was so big, and the sea breeze was strong, I thought it wouldn't be long before I could get out of this fog area.
Therefore, he did not listen to the persuasion of Gu Ji and Yin Rui, and insisted on sitting on the ship that led the pilot.
Of course, Gu Ji and Yin Rui were by his side, and Huang Feihu returned to the Haisha camp.
However, the East China Sea aura was abundant after all, although when he killed the demon beast of the Earth Immortal Realm, he consumed a lot of physical strength in order to restrain its tentacles, and he recovered quickly, and his face was pale, just because he used his divine sense to probe.
I was thinking about how to fight the contact battle with the Dongyi Navy in three days, when suddenly the sound of the flute sounded again.
It's still so sharp, it's still so poignant.
Then he heard a dense heartbeat, sounding from the farthest distance his consciousness could feel.
It's like countless war drums being beaten together.
Zishou didn't look surprised, and slapped his backhand on the deck, and a dark blue rune seeped into the deck and disappeared, and then he rose into the sky, chasing the direction of the flute, and only sent a word to Yin Rui.
"There are a lot of enemies, it may be a sea beast tide, hold on. ”
Yin's broken face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice:
"The minister took the order. ”
Then he pulled out the "Fast Snow" long knife, flew to the highest point of the big wing building, waved a snowy knife light into the sky to warn, and shouted at the fleet behind him:
"Enemy attack!"
"Ships form up to defend!"
As his voice sounded, the rays of light with cultivators' magic weapons on each ship lit up one after another, and the rays of light were transmitted to the rear, and each ship also changed positions according to the instructions of these lights.
With the Yuhuang giant ship as the center, two hundred large-wing ships and six hundred small-wing ships gradually swung to form a slightly circular formation.
At the specific ship formation, there are three small wing ships around a large wing ship, forming a small formation, leaving a gap between each small formation, which is convenient for the cultivators on each ship to fly out of the battle at any time, or move out of the position to let the hard collision angle of the big wing tower ship break up the enemy.
The ship formation changed very quickly, almost as soon as the previous order was seen by the commander of the next ship, the change of formation had already begun, and it could be seen that the non-commissioned officers of Zhendong were well-trained.
Embattled.
The ship's formation, which was still breaking the waves, quickly defended itself.
The sea, which used to be calm, is no longer calm.
It was as if the entire bottom of the sea was shaking, the waves were surging layer by layer, and even the big wing ship, which was as steady as a rock in the wind and waves, began to shake slightly.
The Yin ruins of the Mahayana period also felt the heartbeats that were as dense as the beat of a drum.
His already small pupils shrank even smaller, like pinholes.
Kuaixue's long knife was firmly held in his hand, and his long arms were slightly bent, ready to fight.
Yin Ruined suddenly saw countless silver-white flying fish with a pair of small wings protruding from the sea in front of him, rushing towards the ship!
At the very tip of each fish is a long beak as strong as a sword, and the body of a one-foot-long fish has a sharp beak that is two feet long!
Like arrows, they pierced the hull of the ship, and pierced the soldiers on board.
Yin Rui waved his hand and slashed forward, killing hundreds of flying fish, but there were countless flying fish in the rear who were not afraid of death and continued to attack the ship array!
The soldiers of the Zhendong Army defended with shields and slaughtered with knives and bows, and the cultivators on each boat also sacrificed magic weapons to help stabilize the formation.
Many of the soldiers who could not react were stabbed by the flying fish, but the armor on their bodies could not stop the cold beaks of the flying fish, and countless blood splashes appeared in the silver light in the sky, and the soldiers let out a cry of pain.
As soon as they made contact, there were casualties in the Zhendong Army!
What the giant octopus couldn't do just now was done by a group of usually harmless flying fish.
Why did the usually gentle and timid flying fish rush to the fleet even if they didn't even want their lives?
If this is all the effect of that person playing the bone flute, then how deep is this person's beast control technique?
First is a giant octopus in a fairyland, and then an endless number of flying fish.
It's no wonder that the Dongyi people didn't send a ship to scout the situation, and with the countless flying fish in this vast sea area as a natural defense, they didn't even need to send a fleet to stop it.
But...... It's not just flying fish!
There was a huge vibration from the hull of the ship, as if something heavy was hitting the bottom of the ship again!
Yin's dilapidated gaze pierced the surface of the sea, and he saw groups of sharks and other ferocious sea beasts.
Painless, irrational, fearless of death, even those murderous little eyes are glowing with red blood!
As the flying fish was killed and the soldiers were bleeding, the smell of blood in the air and sea became stronger and stronger, and the sharks that smelled the smell of blood became even more crazy, hitting and gnawing at the hard planks with their flesh and teeth, and even the fleet built by the great merchants gathered the strength of one country, many ships made a terrifying squeak.
As the number of casualties increases, it is expected that more sharks will come to the battlefield in the future.
You don't have to drive the piper anymore, and those sharks will go crazy.
What a ruthless method, such a vicious scheme!
Yin Rui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and shouted: "The cultivator of good water will follow me to exterminate the shark group!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down from the top of the big wing ship, slashed hundreds of flying fish, and stepped on a broken plank on the sea.
A shark rushed from under the water with its bloody mouth wide open, threatening to swallow him in one gulp.
The stench seemed to be able to be asked by him.
The knife light flashed, and the shark was split in half by the knife light from the middle, and the sky was full of broken internal organs.
Before the flesh could reach the surface, the rest of the sharks scrambled for it.
A few more sharks with no eyes rushed up and bit at him together.
He didn't have time to breathe, and the fast snow long knife in his hand rose again, killing them easily.
But there's more.
His movements gradually became numb, his long arms swinging mechanically, but his footsteps kept tapping on the surface of the sea, to support the ships in danger or the cultivators who were besieged by flying fish and sharks.
The mechanical repetition was not due to numbness, but because he was saving every ounce of effort to kill more sharks, striving for precision, and striving for a single kill.
The dense fog around him had actually become a little thinner, and now that his body was close to that of the immortals, Yin felt a trace of soreness.
He looked at the much lighter fog and suddenly thought of a solution.
The pied piper could not control the sea beasts by the sound of the flute alone, because there had been no sound of the flute since His Majesty chased him out, so he must have other ways to control the herd.
Think it's this fog!
The Piper gathers the sea beasts together, then uses the sound of the flute to drive them into the fog, first blocking the fleet's progress with giant octopuses, and attracting more sharks through the denser schools of fish and more and more blood!
Although the Terrans' breathing in this thick fog is not affected, there must be a reason for the sea beasts to go crazy!
And their ships are the only targets of these sea beasts in the fog.
As soon as they cut through the fog, these ferocious sharks will no longer be driven by the Pied Piper to attack the Terrans, but will turn their heads and kill each other!
And in the endless vast space above the East China Sea, no amount of advanced Dao can guarantee the existence of a large-scale fog area.
"All the officers and men obeyed the order, and the fleet marched through the fog area at full speed!
"All the officers and men obeyed the order, and the fleet marched through the fog area at full speed!
......
Yin's ruined and low voice kept resounding on the sea, and the soldiers' goals were also stubbornly defended and counterattacked into a defense in advance, and the big wing building ship led by it raised its sails, and the formation engraved on the hull began to flicker, and the fleet began to rush out of the fog area!
The cultivators' energy was also more focused on clearing the sea beasts in front of them, rather than tangling with the surrounding sharks.
The very edge of the fleet has long since become the ships with the hardest ramming angles, and the Yuhuang Giant is no longer surrounded in the center, but has begun to exert its terrifying impact and excellent speed!
Blockers are invincible.
No school of fish could stop Emperor Yu's dark corners, and the bodies of those sea beasts shattered, and as Emperor Yu advanced, the sea in front of them became more and more red.
Yu Huang's speed gradually surpassed that of the large wing building ship led by him, and the entire fleet was making way for it.
Yu Huang had reached the front of the fleet, knocking out countless vicious sharks, and those arrow-like flying fish could only make a "pounce, pounce" sound on its hard plank.
It's like rain hitting banana leaves.
Just like rain hitting banana leaves.
The Yu Huang giant ship led the fleet out of the fog area.
But is Yin's rumbling prediction really accurate? Could there be a greater danger waiting for the Zhendong Army ahead?
