Chapter 394: South Island City
Nandao City is a rather prosperous port city on the Five Elements Continent, this city is built by the sea, seventy percent of the people in the city are mortals, and monks account for thirty percent, such a proportion is also extremely high in the entire Five Elements Continent.
The reason why there are so many monks is because starting from Nandao City, it only takes five days to enter the range of the deep sea, and once you enter the deep sea, you can hunt demon beasts, as long as you don't enter the sea too far, you will rarely encounter that kind of fierce huge demon beasts.
The edge of the deep sea, as long as the monks who have cultivated deeply, as long as they act carefully, are not as dangerous as imagined, of course, in the eyes of mortals, it is too dangerous, so since ancient times, the range of activities of mortal fishermen has been strictly forbidden to exceed five days.
There are also some brave fishermen, driven by curiosity, sail into the deep sea, but the only result is that there is no news, no one alive, no dead body, and over time, no mortal fishermen dare to enter the deep sea.
On this day, not far from Nanhai City, at the junction of the near sea and the deep sea, a patrol team composed of monks flew slowly along the junction, such a team, outside the entire Nanhai City, there were more than a dozen, the purpose was to monitor the mutations of the deep-sea monsters, and at the same time, it was also to prevent the fishermen who had lost their way from sailing into the deep sea without knowing it.
The person at the head is a sturdy middle-aged man, and a looming aura permeates him, which is one of the characteristics of stepping into the agile period.
The six people who followed behind the middle-aged man, the aura exuded from their bodies ranged from the middle to late stages of the Yuan Infant.
This is the only one in Nanhai City, one of the three patrols led by the spirit monk, the middle-aged man led by the middle-aged man, is one of the seven spirit monks in the South China Sea City, even if the city lord sees this person, he must be very polite.
If it weren't for his turn to lead the patrol today, this person would have already entered the open sea, hunting demon beasts, patrolling such trivial things, he really couldn't look down on them.
What's more, for three thousand years, Nanhai City has been calm, and there has never been a record of a large-scale attack by the Far Sea Demon Beast, patrolling this matter is actually a passing scene, and there is no need for him to come forward in person, if he is any of the six people behind him, it is enough to be competent, and even in his opinion, even the Yuanying monks don't need it, as long as those Yuandan monks, it is enough.
Others don't know, but as one of the seven spiritual monks in Nanhai City, he naturally knows that the previous city lord has been in retreat in Nanhai City since he broke through to the infant transformation six hundred years ago.
The middle-aged man suppressed the impatience in his heart and moved forward faster, fortunately, in just ten days, he could enter the depths of the sea again to hunt demon beasts, and within a year, he didn't have to pay attention to this patrol.
He glanced at the direction of the far sea, licked his lips, and showed a complex look of bloodlust and terror in his eyes, his agile cultivation was in the fight with the demon beast, constantly breaking through, but at the same time, there were several times, he almost died in the mouth of the demon beast, fortunately he saw the opportunity early, and fled early, otherwise he would have died tragically like those companions who were devoured.
He wasn't just lucky, but he had a sense since he was a child, allowing him to avoid danger in the dark.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes froze, looking at the sea where everything was as usual, and the ring finger of his right hand behind his back began to shake wildly, and the magnitude of this shaking was unprecedented.
His mind was filled with fear that he had never felt before, this fear was too strong, and a long-lost feeling of soreness and tightness enveloped his whole body, making him like a mortal, he couldn't even take a step, even his throat seemed to be locked, and he couldn't say a word.
This kind of horror, even back then, when it met a demon beast that was equivalent to the infant transformation stage, it was not so strong, and that degree was far inferior compared to the present.
The six Yuanying monks behind the middle-aged man, seeing him standing still, also stopped, followed his gaze, but they couldn't see anything, even if they exuded spiritual sense, they found nothing.
The six of them did not have the middle-aged man's extraordinary talent for danger perception, but they sensed a trace of abnormality in the middle-aged man's expression, and they took out the magic weapon from the storage bag one after another, concentrating on vigilance.
This is the junction of the offshore sea and the deep sea, according to common sense, there will be no powerful demon beasts here, since that large-scale demon beast tide three thousand years ago, there has been no primordial infant level demon beast.
Compared with the fear that no one knew about the middle-aged man, there was a trace of excitement in the hearts of the six of them, if there was really a primordial infant-level demon beast appeared, the seven of them would join forces, and they would definitely be able to kill them all and make a great achievement.
I don't know when, the undulating sea surface slowly calmed down, this calm revealed a trace of heart-pounding weirdness, extremely far away at the junction of the sea and the sky, a cyan figure gradually appeared in the sight of the seven people.
This man had no boat under his feet, so he stood out of thin air on the surface of the sea, as if he were walking on the ground.
This is not difficult, for the monk, as long as he reaches above the foundation, he can do it, but this person is coming from the direction of the open sea, so such a move becomes extremely dangerous.
Even the seven of them, patrolling here, must keep more than 100 feet above the sea surface to prevent demon beasts from sneaking up on the sea surface.
The middle-aged man watched the cyan figure get closer and closer, the fear in his heart was even stronger, and his eyes were almost cracked, in his spiritual sense, he saw that in the sea under the feet of the cyan figure, there were several huge shadows, looking at its size, at least more than five thousand zhang, and in the sea behind it, there were more similar shadows, and the size was difficult to measure.
Not long after, the six people behind him also noticed this scene, their faces turned pale instantly, and they could barely take out the magic weapon with trembling hands, and almost fell into the sea.
The demon beasts in this sea, if you want to divide the strength ranking, in fact, the simplest criterion is to look at its size, with three hundred zhang as the standard, which is equivalent to the watershed between the Yuan Infant and the Agile, that is to say, the Yuan Infant Monk can only resist the demon beast of three hundred zhang at most.
For example, among the six people, a monk in the late Yuan Infant period once hunted a 270-zhang demon beast, but the price paid was three years of serious injury, and it took ten years of retreat and healing before and after to recover.
Every time the demon beast grows by ten zhang, it is a completely different level of strength.
As for the demon beasts above a thousand zhang, only the infant transformation monk can match it, if it reaches more than five thousand zhang, the non-realm great divine power monk cannot surrender.
The middle-aged man himself once hunted a whale beast of more than 760 zhang in the deep sea thirty years ago, and exchanged the body of this beast for a large number of spirit stones and magic weapons, which was enough to support him from the middle stage of agility to the late stage in one fell swoop.
This whale beast, in the three-thousand-year history of Austrand City, can be ranked nineteenth on the hunting list, which also makes the status of the middle-aged man skyrocket a lot after that.
But the danger of that battle is deeply imprinted in the memory of the middle-aged man, and it is really the line between life and death.
And the most powerful demon beast he had ever encountered was a 1,600-foot fire-embreaked octopus, and the moment he stepped on the edge of this beast's domain, he felt a crisis and retreated at an extremely fast speed, only to escape by chance.
He still remembered that when he looked back from afar, he saw the huge tentacle sticking out of the sea, almost crushing the void.
It's just that the place where the fire-crested octopus is located is already in the deep sea, and it will never appear on the edge of the near sea.
Now, watching the huge shadows gradually approaching, the seven people suddenly looked like ashes, their hearts beat like drums, staring at the cyan figure, but they didn't know what to say.
The green shadow gradually became clear in the eyes of the seven people, judging from the face, this person is still a young man, dressed in a green shirt, and his long flowing hair presents an indescribable gray, as if it is ashes, but it seems to be the beginning of black and white, but the brilliance in the eyes is a little bland, and the whole person has an inexplicable temperament, which makes people unforgettable just by looking at it.
On this person's shoulder, there is a butterfly, walking back and forth, as if pacing, watching its line, it actually exudes a state of elegance.
Three hundred miles away, the young man in the green shirt gradually stopped, he looked up at the jade slip in his hand, hugged his fist towards the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, is the South Island City ahead?"
The middle-aged man nodded subconsciously, squeezing out a reluctant smile on his face, at this distance, the shadow under the water surface could be seen more clearly, he took a deep breath and forced himself to look away, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it if he looked at it for a long time.
The young man in the green shirt nodded slightly, took one step, stood in the air, and turned to look at the sea.
I saw a head, slightly raised from the seawater, just a simple action, it brought up a large amount of seawater upside down, the momentum was amazing, until the head was completely out of the water, the slightly closed eyes were completely opened, and a monstrous fierce flame exploded.
Haijiao is one of the overlords of the far sea, and according to legend, once it reaches ten thousand zhang, it can transform into a dragon and become the master of the entire Northern Xuanxing waters.
What appeared in front of Han Shi was a sea Jiao, this Jiao, with a single head, had more than 300 zhang, and as its whole body gradually emerged in swimming, the entire body almost reached 6,500 zhang.
This scene, falling in the eyes of the seven people who were a hundred miles away, suddenly made them tremble like chaff, such a huge sea Jiao is enough to completely wipe out the entire Nandao City, let alone them, even if the infant monk is here, it can't be matched.
Fear completely enveloped them, and at this time, they did not dare to flee, for fear of attracting the attention of the sea Jiao and being devoured alive.
It's just that, in fear, they have deep doubts in their hearts, this is only the edge of the near sea, how can there be such a level of demon beasts?
