Chapter 740 Chapter 742 Unexpected Gain
Through a faint connection between Rong Xianxian and the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile, she sensed a hint of fear and eagerness in the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile. Rong Xianxian didn't know what made it afraid, but she knew that the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile was lingering here and watching, mainly planning to target the monster in front. If she could take advantage of the monster's serious injury and swallow its inner elixir, the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile's strength would definitely be further improved.
The monster in front was a giant sea snake with a red crown on its head like a burning flame. Its body was covered with black and red scales in the shape of strips. The part of its body exposed above the water was dozens of meters tall. It had four thick forelimbs on the ventral side of its body, ending in sharp claws. The sea snake stared at the flying boat in front with the vertical pupils unique to cold-blooded species, looking eerie and cold, as if it had sensed the arrival of the Sky-Devouring Sea Crocodile, and glanced fearfully in the direction where Rong Xianxian was hiding.
"Master, are you okay?" Mu Qingfan half-knelt beside Master Sumu, looking at him with concern.
"It's okay, Qingfan, go to the cabin quickly!" Master Sumu waved his hand tiredly and asked Mu Qingfan to hide in the cabin. This sea snake was at the mid-level of level seven, and was even more difficult to deal with than the Sky-Swallowing Sea Crocodile encountered before. Master Sumu had just consumed some of his spiritual energy in order to repair the protective formation on the flying boat, and seemed a little overwhelmed after fighting the sea snake. Although the sea snake was injured, Master Sumu was also poisoned by the snake and his strength was damaged.
"No, Master, you are injured. My senior brothers and sisters and I will hold on for a while. You go into the cabin and rest first!" Mu Qingfan said while supporting Master Sumu.
"Nonsense, I'm fine, you all go in!" There was only one cultivator in the Transcendent Realm, Master Sumu, on this flying boat. Most of the others were in the Life Fire Realm, and Mu Qingfan was still in the Blood Refining Realm. Ordinary Life Fire Realm cultivators had no resistance at all in front of a level seven monster. It would be even more dangerous for Mu Qingfan to stay outside the cabin.
"Chao Yun, Qingfan, go to the mechanical cabin, change direction, and prepare to retreat!" Hou Yu jumped down from the top of the cabin and instructed Mu Qingfan and others.
"Junior sister, no, if we retreat now, that belly-screaming snake will chase us and we will be in a passive position!" No matter what species it is, they all have the nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and snakes are even more so. The more you run away and avoid, the more excited it will be. If you fight calmly, you may be able to scare it away.
"Brother, in the northeast direction, the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile that we encountered before has caught up with us. The Belly-Sounding Snake has just been injured by you. Now that the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile has appeared, it dares not take risks again." Hou Yu had been monitoring the movements in all directions, looking for a way to escape, so she noticed the slightest fluctuation of the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile.
"In that case, then do as your junior master says!" Master Sumu believed in Hou Yu's judgment and made a decision immediately.
"Yes, Master." Mu Qingfan and others responded and left.
"Senior brother, you are injured. Please go to the cabin to recuperate first. I will cover you!" Hou Yu walked over and said.
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing. Junior sister, please go to the engine room and take charge. If anything unexpected happens, please contact us in time." Master Sumu stood up and said solemnly.
The bell-screaming snake is at the mid-level of level seven. Although Master Sumu is a cultivator at the Transcendent Realm, he has not yet opened up the Purple Palace, and his combat power is not much higher than Hou Yu. Even if he has a handy magic weapon at hand, he is still no match for the bell-screaming snake. Hou Yu summoned the Golden Phoenix to fight in the previous battle with the Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile, and his own soul power and spiritual energy were severely depleted, especially his soul power recovered slowly. If he forced himself into battle, it might cause damage to his soul.
Hou Yu is extremely talented and her master has high hopes for her. Master Sumu would rather get hurt himself than let this little sister take any risks.
"Yes, senior brother!" Seeing Master Sumu's firm attitude, Hou Yu had no choice but to clasp his fists and bow, then retreat back into the cabin.
Rong Xianxian, who was hiding in the dark, also saw the situation of the three parties clearly at this time. The Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile and the Belly Singing Snake are both overlords of the sea. In the past, they occupied different sides and basically had no chance to meet each other. Today, they met here by chance, and the Belly Singing Snake was injured. The Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile became ambitious. It originally wanted to hide in the dark and observe the situation, but it did not expect that the Belly Singing Snake and the people on the flying boat discovered its traces at the same time. The flying boat had turned around and planned to take a detour. Rong Xianxian took advantage of the fact that the three parties were on guard against each other and no one noticed her. She quietly sank to the bottom of the sea, restrained her breath and sneaked under the flying boat. When the flying boat turned, she tied a bean-sized positioning talisman to the thousand threads and sent it to the bottom of the flying boat.
Rong Xianxian watched the flying boat gradually speed up and soon lost its trace. The Swallowing Cloud Sea Crocodile was full of fighting spirit and no longer concealed its tracks. The black and red scales on the body of the Screaming Belly Snake were glowing with black and red flames, and it seemed that a big battle was inevitable.
In order to avoid being affected, Rong Xianxian flashed into the foggy space of the Domain Stone. She hid in the space and quietly observed the situation outside through the external vision function of the Domain Stone. Unfortunately, the external vision range was very limited. In her field of vision, she could only see the raging sea water, the surging waves, and the gradually rising thick fog.
The thick fog was formed by the evaporation of water vapor, and it soon filled the entire field of vision. Rong Xianxian had to give up observing. She was bored in the space, so she took out the storage bags she got from the two monks who plotted against her and checked them. The storage bags that monks carry with them usually contain all their belongings. Rong Xianxian accidentally found two thousand-year-old elixirs, three jade rings for passing on power, thirteen top-grade spirit stones, thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, and many other sundries in the storage bags of these two people. Rong Xianxian was unable to tell the purpose of these sundries one by one.
Rong Xianxian was a little surprised. These two people were obviously hired to plot against her. She thought that these people must have taken risks in order to obtain more resources, but she didn't expect that these two people had so many good things on them!
Suddenly, she found a scribbled note in one of the storage bags. After reading the contents, Rong Xianxian suddenly realized.
She had heard the two people talking about the teleportation talismans before, so she first checked the two teleportation talismans and found that they were directional teleportation talismans. The teleportation location depended on the positioning talisman. Rong Xianxian was worried that the person behind the scenes would kill people to silence them, so she did not dare to use them. After reading the note, she found that the three jade rings for transmitting skills, two thousand-year-old elixirs, and ten top-grade spirit stones were all mortgaged by the person behind the scenes to the attacker to prevent the other party from being dishonest and breaking their promise.
The two parties agreed to exchange Rong Xianxian's "Intermediate Talisman Making Book", Fantasy Cloud Pearl and Flying Carpet for the things the attacker needed, and return the collateral after the transaction was completed. However, the person behind the scenes did not expect that these collaterals would now become her trophies. This could be considered an unexpected gain!
