Chapter 146: Demon Beasts in the Sea
Chapter 146: Demon Beasts in the Sea
When the vast sea water came from all directions and finally submerged overhead, when the waves with the unique smell of the sea completely soaked his body, Shen Shi found that he still had a lingering uneasiness about this sea water. However, after all, he has been honed for so many years, and his mind is firm, and he did not show signs of panic, but continued to walk towards the sea for another while.
Generally speaking, most of the places where monks are most suitable for exercising their Dao skills are on land, including in the sky, after some monks have improved their realm or obtained flying spirit weapons, they will also perform well. However, the situation in the water is very different from the first two, once the seemingly weak water flow converges into a river and a sea, it will greatly interfere with the monk's actions, and there are quite a lot of magical spells, which will be greatly reduced in the water, and even difficult to cast, so that the water area is rarely set foot in for most monks.
In the main realm of Hongmeng, the Hongmeng continent is vast, the wild in the east, the giant in the west and the snowfields in the north are all dangerous and Jedi since ancient times, and they have not been explored clearly, let alone what their margins are. In addition to these three places, in the known boundary territory, although the area of the Hongmeng Continent is vast enough, the vast sea in the south of the continent is even larger.
The vast world is full of living beings, countless species on land are thriving, the area of the ocean is larger than the land, and there are also countless strange aquatic creatures, and even many rare spiritual materials such as natural materials and earth baby stone veins, the sea is also abundant, it can be said that the sea is actually a natural treasure house containing countless treasures.
However, for thousands of years, the focus of the activities of the Terran cultivation realm has always been on the Hongmeng Continent, rarely involving the exploration of the Canghai, and even the exploration of the three dangerous Jedi in the east, west and north will be more than the Canghai, the reason is that the restrictions of the vast deep sea on the Terran monks are too great, plus there are many fierce demon beasts in the sea, and they are born with the advantage of water, and the low-level demon beasts that are often not worth mentioning on land will become difficult opponents to fight when they reach the sea of almost the same level. If you are unlucky enough to encounter a high-level demon beast in the sea, it will be almost a mortal situation, because in the sea area, it is difficult for you to even escape.
Of course, there are no absolutes, although most monks regard the sea as a daunting path, but there are also a very small number of monks who are good at water, but because this kind of people are too rare, and most of them are casual cultivators with low Taoism, so it will not have any impact. Compared with many famous sects on the Hongmeng Continent, the Lingxiao Sect has a deeper understanding of the sea area than other sects because the Jinhong Mountain where the spiritual vein of the Mountain Gate is located is thousands of miles away from the sea, but in general, the various Dao and magic powers cultivated by the human race are still mainly based on land fighting, and the Lingxiao Sect is no exception.
Shen Shi has also been in the Lingxiao Sect for some years, but from the beginning to the present, he has never seen any magic powers suitable for moving in the water, but as a monk who is far superior to mortals, he is not familiar with the water is only relatively speaking, and it is not a big deal to walk casually in the sea near the seaside and dive with bated breath for a while.
Walking into the seawater, it was dark at first, Shen Shi only felt that the surroundings of his body were slightly cool, but after he paused for a moment, the light in front of him seemed to light up a little, and the faint sunlight turned into beams of light, refracted from the sea surface into the underwater water, in front of his eyes, showing a new underwater world.
As the name suggests, the crystal clear waters are full of corals with strange shapes, some like a big fan, some like a palm, some flat like a millstone, and some tangled like vines. The colors are also colorful, red, orange, blue, green, white, gray, blue, and purple, each of which shimmers with strange brilliance in the swaying waves. There are also thousands of small fish with bright colors gathered in schools, wandering around the coral reef, leisurely and leisurely.
Shen Shi stood still, raised his head and looked up, only to see that he was about three feet away from the water above his head at the moment, and he felt a little difficult to walk with bated breath this way, and after a moment of silence, he calmed down, urging a spiritual power in the Qi Sea Dantian to start running the "Water Rejection Technique" taught by Elder Pu privately that day.
He was already different in the Five Elements Technique, and he had been practicing this technique from time to time in the past few days, so in just a short breath, the Water Rejection Technique had been successfully cast, and an invisible and colorless force slowly bounced up from the skin around him, silently separating the sea water around him by a finger's width.
Once the water repellent technique was cast, Shen Shi suddenly felt that his body was loose, and the faint pressure of the sea water that had originally been from all directions dissipated at this moment, and even his movements were much easier. He tried to take a few more steps forward in the seawater, and soon found that the sea still had some effect on him after all, ordinary walking may be almost the same as on land, but if he wanted to run on the bottom of the sea, he still couldn't do it, but it was still much better than the almost helpless dilemma when he first entered the water. On top of that, he found that he no longer had to hold his breath under the water repellent.
After walking forward like this for a while, Shen Shi sighed and did not rush directly to the middle sea area of this coral sea, but stopped, first trying to mobilize the aura to urge the various spells he knew, after all, there should be some difficult sea monsters in the middle sea area, but I am afraid that the battle is inevitable.
Tried all the way, the results were good and bad, the disadvantage was that Shen Shi was frustrated and found that most of the spells he knew could not be used at all in this seabed water, such as wanting to cast a fireball spell but a flame would be quickly submerged by the boundless huge amount of sea water around it before it formed......; Well, it can't burn.
However, there is good news, that is, among all the spells, Shen Shi, the "water arrow technique" of the water system, found that it could be used, and perhaps because the water vapor in the sea water was simply abundant, the speed at which he cast the condensing arrow was even several times faster than on land, and he could condense a water arrow almost in the blink of an eye. In addition, all the Five Elements Spells were basically abolished, but the four witchcraft spells that he learned in the Demon Realm at the beginning, Shen Shi found that they could also be used in water, which was also an unexpected joy.
Basically, Shen Shi felt that after coming to this underwater, his skills were almost directly abolished, and the restrictions on Terran monks under the sea were so strong, it was no wonder that few people were willing to come to this vast sea to adventure and explore.
After figuring out his own situation and finding that he was finally not without the power to protect himself, Shen Shi's heart was also a little calmer, and then he settled down and began to move on.
Before entering the water, the words of several Yuan Dan Realm elders had already been clearly understood to him, so Shen Shi's goal was also very clear, and he did not pay attention to the colorful underwater world around him at the moment, but walked all the way, looking for the location of the middle sea area.
The underwater world is always rugged, with boulder pits everywhere and countless coral reefs that look beautiful but are actually extremely hard, so this is not an easy road. But fortunately, people are underwater, sometimes as long as Shen Shi borrows a little strength, because of the buoyancy of the seawater, the whole person will float slowly past, but through this to overcome many obstacles, it is also very interesting.
Walking and stopping like this, gradually going deeper into the sea, occasionally looking up, you will find that the sea above you has unconsciously reached a deep distance. However, the sea water in this sea area is exceptionally clear, even at the bottom of the water a few zhang, Shen Shi can still see the surrounding scenery clearly.
A large turtle with a yellow shell and thick armor that is more than three feet long, four-legged plucking the seawater, swims leisurely from the top of the Shen stone, and looks not afraid of people at all. Shen Shi glanced at it, but he didn't care, but he was a little anxious, thinking that from the launch to the present, I'm afraid that there will always be seventy or eighty zhang away, why haven't I seen the shadow of the middle sea yet?
After thinking about it, he continued to walk forward, passing through many strangely shaped corals, brushing aside all kinds of small colorful fish that swam, and he walked more than twenty feet away from the bottom of the sea. Suddenly, in front of his eyes, the color of the sea seemed to suddenly become deeper, adding a hint of blue color, and a trench appeared not far in front of him, and the terrain in front of the seabed suddenly fell almost more than ten zhang, and the farther place looked even deeper, so that under the light overhead, the underwater scenery over there was a little blurred.
Shen Shi paused for a moment, then slowly walked to the edge of the trench, looked down carefully for a while, and saw that under the trench, there were also a large number of rocks and coral reefs, but the color was obviously much more monotonous than the sea area passed before, and almost everywhere he looked was white, gray, and blue The three deep tones were dominant, and those colorful and beautiful small fish and fish schools were no longer visible, instead of the shadows looming between the strange reef crevices, which looked like larger fish.
Shen Shi's mind turned, secretly thinking that the place in front of him should be the middle sea area, and sure enough, the difference from the upper sea area was very obvious, not the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in front of him, but a faint crisis was revealed in a deep and slight darkness. It's just that the examination was in front of him, and Shen Shi didn't have any reason to retreat, so after taking a deep breath, he floated down gently along the edge of the trench.
The buoyancy of the sea water canceled out most of the momentum, allowing Shen Shi to grasp the rocks of the trench wall with his hands and move down very easily, the surrounding sea water looked very calm, but it seemed to be no different from the upper sea, but the light was a little dimer, but it was still enough for him to see the surrounding places clearly.
It's just that just when he stepped on the ground of the middle sea with one foot, he suddenly felt that a stream of water suddenly pressed over in the originally calm sea water on one side of his body, Shen Shi was suddenly startled in his heart, and quickly looked back, only to see that three feet away from him, and I don't know which stone crevice cave, suddenly burst out of a gray-scaled fish, two feet long, full of sharp teeth and fangs, and it was the momentum that rushed towards him.
Shen Shi didn't expect to encounter a demon beast in the sea as soon as he arrived here, he had never seen this kind of strange fish, and he couldn't name it, but there was obviously no time for him to hesitate at the moment, the instinct tempered in the grinding of life and death countless times over the years made him react almost instantly, and while taking a step back, he waved his arm at the same time, almost in the blink of an eye, the abundant water vapor in the sea seemed to burst out, and a beam of sharp water arrows instantly condensed between his hands.
"Poof!"
A low, strange muffled sound rippled through the water deep at the bottom of the sea, and the arrows that looked almost identical to the surrounding waters shot out in an instant, breaking through the current and rushing towards the strange fish. A whirlpool formed and rippled out in an instant, and the endless sea water didn't seem to hinder the water arrow in any way, except for a few strange water wave textures behind the water arrow.
The strange fish rushed to the place where Shen Shi's body was a few feet long, and when he was about to open his blood basin and bite it down, his body suddenly shook, and the sharp speed was even faster, and the water arrow broke through the water, like a sharp arrow straight through the defeated leather, and silently drilled into the top of the head of this strange fish, and directly pierced a big hole.
The body of the strange fish suddenly spasmed and twisted, and fell directly from the water to the bottom of the sea, and after struggling on the sand and gravel ground for a few times, it died stiffly, and from the wound on the top of the head pierced by the water arrow, a ball of blood floated out of the sea.
Shen Shi took a step back, glanced at the corpse of the strange fish, and felt a little relieved, but before he could really breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly around this sea area, from near to far, dozens of strange sounds sounded at the same time, in the stone crevices, in the coral, there were shadowy figures appearing, and the eyes of all the strange figures turned out to be Shen Shi's side.
Shen Shi's heart was shocked, and he suddenly seemed to have woken up to something, and when he lowered his eyes, he glanced down, but he saw the bright red fish blood floating in the sea.
