Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Green Water King Snake, A Fierce Scramble
Amidst the tense vigilance born from a fear of the unknown.
Ti flowed by like water.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
’From my observations so far, there hasn’t been anything unusual...’
Su Ye patrolled the deck.
At the sa ti, his Spiritual Sense surged forth, spreading out like a vast, inescapable net.
Using his [Captain’s Perspective], Su Ye ticulously inspected every corner of the Golden Sword Orchid.
Even a Foundation Establishnt cultivator using their Divine Sense to inspect the Golden Sword Orchid wouldn’t have done a better job than Su Ye.
After half a month of continuous investigation, Su Ye had found nothing out of the ordinary.
Was the silent island just a terrible nightmare?
It had been mysterious and terrifying, chilling one to the bone.
But after waking up, there seed to be no other lingering effects.
’It’s fine...’ Su Ye’s heart relaxed slightly.
’It seems we’re safe now.’
After all, most thods in the Cultivation Realm generally had one crucial limiting factor.
Distance.
With increasing distance, any powerful magic would be gradually weakened, eventually breaking down into pure Spiritual Qi and returning to the world!
And now, the two Spiritual Boats had sailed nearly a thousand nautical miles away from that silent island!
Such a vast distance put Su Ye sowhat at ease.
It also allowed the crew’s fear to subside and their minds to calm.
They rallied their spirits, preparing to hunt more demon beasts and fill their holds before the return journey.
...
「On this day.」
In the Dongning Sea Region.
The lookout on the Golden Sword Orchid joyfully rang the ship’s bell!
DING DONG DONG!
Amidst a flurry of rapid footsteps, the deck was suddenly swarming with people.
Su Ye, draped in a black robe, stepped onto the deck with steady, powerful strides.
The crew respectfully parted, giving him the best observation spot.
On the sea’s surface not far away, a large sea serpent was happily weaving through a school of fish, feasting to its heart’s content!
SPLASH.
The sea serpent thrashed about, sending up sprays of white foam.
Its greenish-blue scales, bathed in sunlight, took on a golden sheen and reflected the light!
"A Green Water King Snake."
After a mont of observation, Su Ye quickly identified the sea serpent’s species!
After entering the Luo Family’s inner circle, Su Ye had spared no effort in absorbing knowledge to deepen his understanding.
If the Luo Family’s Scripture Pavilion were to rank mbers by their total annual reading ti, then Su Ye would rank in the top five at least!
"The Green Water King Snake, a first-rank, high-grade demon beast. Moreover, this demon is said to have Flood Dragon Bloodline, making it extrely rare in this sea region!"
Hearing Su Ye’s words, the crew imdiately grew excited.
"This is great!"
"We’ve really hit the jackpot on this voyage! First the Iron Blade Blood Shark, and now a Green Water King Snake..."
"When we get back, we can all go have so fun at the Miaoyin Pavilion!"
But compared to the excited crew, Su Ye’s gaze narrowed as he watched the Green Water King Snake, lost in thought.
’Another rare demon beast. As expected... sothing isn’t right...’
Su Ye confird his suspicions.
So kind of unknown change was happening in the Dongning Sea Region!
For now, the most direct effect was an increase in the number of valuable catches.
’No... it’s hard to say who is the real prey here...’
The reason valuable catches could be called ’valuable’ was because such demon beasts possessed extraordinary bloodlines and were incredibly rare.
For a demon beast, a noble bloodline ant greater combat strength compared to others at the sa cultivation level!
Furthermore...
’There’s a significant chance they could break through to a higher realm!’
Su Ye mused, his expression turning grave.
Given the number of rare demon beasts in this sea region, it was highly likely that a second-rank demon beast could be born within a few years!
For a Foundation Establishnt family that made its living by hunting demons, this was undoubtedly a massive threat!
Moreover,
if the second rank wasn’t the end, and the changes in the sea region continued to intensify...
what were they to do?
...
As Su Ye was lost in thought, the Green Water King Snake noticed the approaching Demon Hunting Ships, and with a flick of its long tail, it imdiately swam into the distance!
Compared to the less intelligent demon fish that would swim right up to a Demon Hunting Ship upon seeing one, this demon’s intelligence was clearly much higher!
"What a clever beast... After it! After it!"
"Full sails! Full sails!"
"Ready the Reversing Confusion Array!"
Lured by the promise of profit, the Golden Sword Orchid and the Flying Serpent raised their sails high and gave chase at full speed!
VMM!
A white light shot out from the bow of the Flying Serpent.
The [Reversing Confusion Array]!
It reversed the senses of ’front’ and ’back’!
Engulfed by the white light of the Reversing Confusion Array, the Green Water King Snake’s body stiffened, and it subconsciously changed direction.
But soon,
it raised its head and let out a hiss!
A dense green light erged, barely counteracting the array’s effect, and it continued to flee into the distance!
’Such high resistance...’
Su Ye glanced over, sowhat surprised.
’It can resist the effects of the Reversing Confusion Array in its normal state?’
’Even without a Flood Dragon Bloodline, this Green Water King Snake definitely possesses so kind of high-level bloodline!’
However, despite its extraordinary lineage, the Green Water King Snake’s stamina and Demon Power were ultimately limited.
After a long chase,
the Green Water King Snake’s speed began to slow!
And even though it tried its best to resist, it would still occasionally turn back and swim toward the Flying Serpent!
Clearly,
it was beginning to have trouble resisting the Reversing Confusion Array’s influence!
The distance between the Green Water King Snake and the Demon Hunting Ships was constantly shrinking!
"Put your backs into it!"
"We’re having snake stew tonight!"
"Lower the Spiritual Boats! Prepare to attack!"
The single-masted cutters, equipped with ballistae, surrounded the exhausted Green Water King Snake like a pack of wolves.
The ballistae roared.
Soon, they had created several wounds on the Green Water King Snake’s body that were deep enough to show bone!
"ROAR!"
The Green Water King Snake let out a pained roar and opened its massive maw as a green light began to gather in its mouth.
Clearly, it was about to unleash its potential and release its bloodline magic!
However, how could Su Ye, who had been controlling the battlefield the entire ti, give it such an opportunity?
SCHLICK!
A flash of silver light streaked through the air as the Frost Thorn Spear pierced right through the Green Water King Snake’s upper jaw!
Blood gushed out like a waterfall!
The Green Water King Snake’s body convulsed as it shrieked in pain.
Then, more Magical Artifacts and Magic rained down upon it, and the blood flowed endlessly...
"Stop struggling. You have ten Spiritual Boats and a full sixty n waiting on you..."
Su Ye said leisurely, his tone faint.
The Green Water King Snake’s bloodline was extraordinary. If it were just the Flying Serpent, short on manpower, the snake most likely would have escaped.
But with the Golden Sword Orchid here, the manpower was doubled!
And with Su Ye present, they had a formidable combatant who could be considered the equivalent of a Late-stage Qi Refining cultivator!
The outco was already decided...
Finally, a quarter of an hour later,
the serpent demon with the noble bloodline let out a final, despairing roar. It resentfully closed its eyes and moved no more.
[Hunted a Sea Demon. [Tide Hunter] experience
100]
...
Having slain the Green Water King Snake, the crew skillfully tied ropes around its corpse, preparing to haul it onto the Flying Serpent for processing.
But just then!
Several sails suddenly appeared on the distant horizon!
"Hm?"
Su Ye focused his gaze into the distance, activating his Spiritual Eye Skill to enhance his vision.
He could clearly see that at the very top of these Spiritual Boats’ sails hung a flag with the character for ’Qi’!
The Qi Family’s Spiritual Boats!
