Chapter 026: Kraken Master
Halfway through the trip, Xu's good fortune came to an end. On this day, the wind and waves are calm, the blue sky is like washing, and it is a good sunny day.
Gong Huaiming had a bad stomach in the morning, and he went to the toilet several times in a row, and there was still cramping pain in his lower abdomen from time to time, so Zhang Dahai got him a bowl of medicine for diarrhea and let him drink it. Gong Huaiming felt a little better, and at noon, Gong Huaiming suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and rushed into the toilet again, looking at Gong Huaiming's embarrassed appearance, the sailors all laughed.
As soon as Gong Huaiming closed the door of the toilet and squatted on the toilet, he heard a loud bang outside. In front of the left side of the Ocean Ship, a water splash several feet high rose into the sky, and white water droplets splashed in all directions and landed on the deck of the Ocean Ship more than ten feet away.
The sailors on the deck were all startled, and they all looked towards the column of water rushed by the waves, only to see that at the very point of the column, a black shadow rushed out, crossed a graceful arc in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flown over the ocean. Before the sailors could react to what was going on, a silver-blue arc of lightning flew out of the dark shadow and hit one of the sailors. The sailor had time to let out a scream, and then fell to the ground, spasmed and struggled a few times, and then remained motionless and breathless. An unpleasant smell of burnt paste came from his body.
The sailors were all shocked, and none of them could have imagined that tragedy would befall their companions suddenly. Some of the reflexes showed off their weapons.
The black shadow stopped, floating in the air in front of the Ocean Ocean, this is a blue spotted electric ray more than a zhang wide and nearly three zhang long, it is a manta ray, that is, a kind of ray, and the manta ray is a very common aquatic animal in the endless sea. The body of the ray is round or diamond-shaped, and the pectoral fin is wide and flattened, extending from the snout to the elongated tail base, and the overall image resembles a flattened dough.
Most of the manta rays in the vast sea are harmless and do not actively attack humans. Only a very small number of manta rays will evolve into demon beasts, and they will absorb the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of the moon like cultivators, and the probability of the appearance of this kind of demon beast is similar to the probability of cultivators among secular people, strictly speaking, it is even lower. However, the overall number of sea fish and sea beasts is not known how many times more than that of humans, and there is no problem among them that gifted sea fish and sea beasts cannot be excavated, almost with spiritual roots, gifted sea fish and sea beasts will subconsciously take the initiative to cultivate, so in general, the number of demon beasts is much higher than that of cultivators.
In the Boundless Sea, it is not uncommon for demon beasts to attack humans, in order to ensure that the three archipelagos can be kept unblocked, Hongyang Zhenren, Qianbing Zhenren and Baihua Fairy have joined forces to carry out large-scale clean-up activities in the waterway between the three archipelagos, and the demon beasts entrenched in the waterway and its surroundings have been eliminated, especially the most commonly used waterways, and the demon beasts have been wiped out. As long as the ship does not deviate from the course, it is basically impossible to encounter the monster.
Manta ray is a population that is more likely to appear demon beasts, and the blue spotted electric ray is the most common kind of manta ray monster beasts, the blue spotted electric ray has a blue-green body, and the back is covered with much darker blue-blue round spots, its abdomen is white, the eyes are on the top of the head, and the mouth and nose and cheek cleft are long in the abdomen. Sometimes, the cleft mouth, nose and cheeks of the blue-spotted electric ray will also piece together a human face, and many ignorant sea people worship it as a sacred object and hold worship activities for it.
The most troublesome thing about the blue spot electric ray is that it can be discharged, the current intensity is extremely large, and it can electrocute an ordinary adult in an instant, like this kind of current of intensity, the blue spot electric ray can be released about three times a day, and in rare cases, it can be released five times.
In order to deal with the blue-spotted electric ray, the residents of the three archipelagos went through a long time of exploration and spent a lot of money to consult the immortal masters, and finally summed up a complete set of methods to deal with the blue-spotted electric ray. The Xu Firm is one of the chambers of commerce that has mastered this method, and all the sailors and martial artists under the Xu Firm have been trained in relevant aspects. At this time, however, the sailors did not move any more than to show their weapons. Not only did they not move, but some of them even showed extremely frightened and frightened expressions.
With a few sounds, several sailors threw their weapons on the deck, bent their knees, and knelt down towards the blue-spotted ray. It was not a lot of work, most of the sailors knelt down, and only a few who did not kneel, and they were also trembling and trembling.
It's not that the sailors are too timid to fight the blue-spotted electric rays, but it's that it's not the monster beast that attacked them, but a person, a kraken master to be exact. Cultivator is a general term, just like there are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, there are also occupations among cultivators, such as refiners, alchemists, talisman masters, sword immortals, etc., the Kraken Master is the same as the refiner, and it is also a category among cultivators.
One of the most striking features of the Kraken Master is that there is at least one sea-born demon beast around him. This Kraken can be the Kraken Master's mount, or it can be an auxiliary means for the Kraken Master to fight, and of course, it can also be the Kraken Master's helper in other things, and the specific role depends on the type of Kraken and the Kraken Master's own needs.
Whether it is in the Boundless Sea or in other places, the status of cultivators among secular people is no different from that of immortals, and almost no one will think of rebelling against cultivators, after all, secular people and cultivators are not at the same level at all, and even if they resist, it will not be of much use. Since the Kraken Master is a member of the cultivators, his status among the secular people can be imagined, and the sailors do not want to resist, but they know that resistance is useless. Only by being the first to give in can we avoid provoking the anger of the Kraken Master to the greatest extent.
At this time, the Kraken Master stood firmly on the back of the blue-spotted electric ray, he was completely black, with a bun on his head, a wooden hairpin, no jewelry, his face was covered with a black cloth, only a pair of black eyes and a smooth forehead were exposed. This Siren Master is wrapped too tightly, whether it is a man or a woman, and what it looks like, no one can tell.
Xu Zhongda, who got the news, hurriedly ran out of the cabin, stood in front of the sailors, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed respectfully to the kraken master, "The villain Xu Zhongda's business name, meet the immortal master, I don't know if the villain did anything inconsiderately, causing the immortal master to send down the wrath of thunder? ”
The Kraken Master snorted coldly, his voice was thick and a little slurred, "You didn't offend me. However, Xu Zhongda, I received news that you were ordered by the Hundred Flowers Palace Master Hundred Flowers Fairy to secretly escort a treasure to the Thousand Ice Islands this time. I wonder if you can let me take a look at that treasure?"
