Chapter 729 and 731 Abnormal
"It must have been attacked by a sea beast. Weren't you bored just now? Do you want to go outside and see what's going on?" The shaking of the flying boat was gradually decreasing, and Ze Lin's face was full of excitement.
"Okay, let's go!" Rong Xianxian realized that the speed of the flying boat had slowed down by half, and was still decreasing.
The two of them came outside together and used a basic wind reduction technique to alleviate the airflow caused by the flying boat in order to quickly adapt to the outside environment.
"Brother Ze, Miss Rong, come here!" As soon as the two came out, they heard Ren Chong calling them over.
Rong Xianxian came to the location where Ren Chong and the others were, and she opened her mouth in shock at the scene in front of her. She saw a huge creature shaped like an enlarged version of an octopus in the misty water mist more than ten kilometers in front of the flying boat. It was as tall as dozens of stories, with a huge oval body, sac-shaped and without fins. Its body surface seemed to be covered with a thick gelatinous substance, which looked sticky and slippery. There was no obvious dividing line between the body and the head. There was a pair of huge and somewhat protruding eyes on the head, and dozens of thick and retractable tentacles under the eyes. These tentacles seemed to have huge suction power, and the flying boat was shaking under the attack of the tentacles.
"Look, I don't know what happened this time. We were attacked by a large sea beast in the transition area. This should be a safe area and there have never been any large sea beasts active here. It's also abnormal today!" Ren Chong said, holding a map and pointing at it.
"Encountering this situation means that the journey ahead will be even more dangerous. If nothing unexpected happened in the deep waters, this large sea beast would not appear here!" Mu Qingfan looked ahead worriedly.
"Brother Mu, judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, that sea beast is at least level five in strength. Should we go over and fight it?" Ren Chong was eager to try.
"No need, Brother Ren. My senior brothers and sisters are in front. We can deal with sea beasts of this level in a short time." Mu Qingfan mentioned his senior brothers and sisters with a bit of respect in his eyes.
As soon as Mu Qingfan finished speaking, a sword light flew towards the sea beast that was attacking the flying boat. The sword light was initially as thin as a line, but became thicker and thicker during the flight. When it reached the sea beast, it was like a huge lightning bolt striking the sea beast.
"Woo..." The attacked sea beast let out a horn-like roar, and dozens of tentacles suddenly stretched out and flew towards the flying boat. When those tentacles were about to touch the flying boat, a light curtain popped out from the outer layer of the flying boat. After those tentacles touched the light curtain, they seemed to be electrocuted, convulsing and twitching, unable to move forward or backward. At this moment, a sword light dragging with flames whizzed in and chopped on these tentacles that could not retract. The following scene was dazzling, and the sword lights intertwined into a dense net, which quickly chopped the sea beast into pieces.
"This, is so simple? Aren't large sea beasts said to have strong defenses? How come it's so easy to chop them up?" Nan Xiaoya said in surprise.
"Miss Nan, you can pick up a piece of sea beast's remains later and bring it back to see how strong the defense of this sea beast is. Senior brothers and sisters will only take away the sea beast's inner elixir, and you can take other materials at will." After Mu Qingfan finished speaking, he stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the water.
After the death of the sea beast, the water surface gradually calmed down. The originally clear water surface was gradually covered with blood. Seeing Mu Qingfan's actions, Rong Xianxian stepped on the flying carpet and left the flying boat. She took out the soul-catching bell and activated the soul-catching function. She captured the spirit of the monster and handed it over to the New Martial Academy. They could make beast soul armor. Although Rong Xianxian's main purpose was to capture the soul of the sea beast, in order to conceal her tracks, she fished up several pieces of the sea beast's limbs from the water, stuffed them into the sachet space and brought them back.
"Miss Rong, you have a good eye. The only edible parts of this sea beast are the tentacles, which are tender and easier to handle than other parts." Ren Chong also picked up a few limbs from below.
"This is the limb of a level five monster, it must contain rich spiritual energy. Since it is edible, and there are still a lot of them below, why doesn't Tiangong Mountain send people to collect them all?" Rong Xianxian noticed that the flying boat tended to accelerate slowly, and it was obvious that they had no intention of salvaging and collecting the corpses of the sea beasts below.
"Although it is edible, most of its spiritual energy will dissipate and disappear after cooking. Moreover, although the meat of this sea beast is tender, it has a fishy smell that is difficult to remove. It is not popular in Kaiyuan Continent." Mu Qingfan walked over dragging a large piece of sea beast remains. This piece of remains was not only large in size, but also the area of the sea beast's head. In the middle was an eye larger than a millstone. The skin in this area was the toughest and most defensive part of the sea beast.
"Brother Mu is right, but after all, they are all level five monsters. If your sect doesn't want them, then I will go down and get a few more!" said a fellow cultivator.
"Please feel free to do as you please, but the flying boat is about to accelerate, so don't be late." Mu Qingfan smiled knowingly.
Tiangong Mountain is a top-level force, and its disciples are not interested in this unremarkable level 5 monster. However, these practitioners from small sects are different. Therefore, after listening to Mu Qingfan's words, many practitioners immediately jumped off the flying boat.
Rong Xianxian also wanted to go, but Ren Chong, Bai Yihan and others around her stood still, staring at the remains of the sea beast dragged by Mu Qingfan and studying them. Obviously, they had no intention of picking up the corpse.
"Everyone, who wants to come and try to see how much effort it takes to cut this monster in half?" Mu Qingfan made an inviting gesture.
Li Qinglan was the first to stand up. He held a sharp dagger in his hand and thrust it hard at the stump of the sea beast. When the dagger came into contact with the beast's body, Li Qinglan felt his hand slip and almost sprained his wrist, but there was no mark left on the beast's body. He turned his hand and slashed upwards with his backhand, but still no mark was left. Li Qinglan examined the dagger in his hand with some suspicion, and after confirming that it was correct, he sighed in frustration, "The defense of a level 5 monster is indeed powerful. This dagger of mine was given to me by my master, and it can cut iron like mud, but it can't even break the skin of a level 5 monster."
"Let me try." A talisman master slapped a fire talisman on the beast's corpse. Everyone stepped back. With a "bang", the fire talisman exploded, with blazing flames and smoke. Mu Qingfan used a wind-blowing technique to blow away the smoke, but flames were still billowing on the beast's corpse. Everyone stretched their heads out to take a look curiously, thinking that this kind of aquatic creature should be afraid of fire. This fire talisman might really be able to break the monster's skin!
Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, the billowing flames gradually shrank as if they had been poured with cold water and their fuel was cut off, and then went out. The skin that had just been burned by the flames remained the same, without any damage at all.
