While looking at Shang Lin with some doubt and shock, he silently chanted an incantation. The sea, which was originally calm, suddenly became turbulent, and countless dark shadows appeared and disappeared in the waves, swimming rapidly toward the ship.
Red Scorpion also appeared beside Shang Lin at this moment, taking Situ Pojun's place to protect him as he hovered in mid-air, but asked with some doubt, "Why are there still evil spirits?!"
"Yes, Director Situ said that the evil spirits in the sea have crossed the border."
As Shang Lin responded to the Crimson Scorpion, he looked down and immediately felt a chill run down his spine. The evil spirit that had climbed onto the boat now resembled a giant octopus. Its tentacles not only had suckers but were also covered with sharp spikes and emitted an eerie glow.
To be honest, the moment Shang Lin saw this thing clearly, he felt a little nauseous. He instinctively took out a talisman, ready to throw it at it, but...
But Red Scorpion stopped him in time. He then led Shang Lin to the side of the boat, pointed down and said, "Take a look at the sea first."
Shang Lin looked at the Crimson Scorpion in confusion, then at the sea. This glance was enough to make the usually composed Sect Master Shang exclaim, "What the hell are these things?! Didn't Situ Pojun say he was going to call for reinforcements? Instead of reinforcements, he's summoned a whole host of water ghosts?!"
Situ Pojun flew to Shang Lin's side and said directly, "This is the reinforcement I summoned. It's much more powerful than the servant you just summoned."
Shang Lin looked at Situ Pojun in surprise, then pointed to the sea, "You... summoned him?"
Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin with some confusion, "Is this strange? It's normal for me to be able to summon it, right? Let's deal with this 'octopus' quickly, or things will get complicated when it gets light."
"good."
Shang Lin swiftly formed hand seals, and streams of spiritual energy transformed into beams of light that shot towards the "octopus." Situ Pojun and Chi Xie also hurriedly joined in, but they each possessed their natal swords, their blades gleaming with a chilling light as they charged towards the evil spirit.
However, this evil spirit seemed to be targeting only one thing, such as the legendary mermaid pearl, so it completely ignored everything else. Moreover, its size was so large that the waves of sea ghosts that attacked it seemed to have no effect on it.
The tentacles on the ship that were injured by Shang Lin and the others would not bleed; instead, they would evaporate like mist and then quickly reconnect.
That's not all. The evaporated "mist" also had an unpleasant smell. After inhaling just a little bit, Shang Lin was certain it was poisonous and immediately told Chi Xie to hold his breath.
Shang Lin quickly set up a barrier, enveloping the three of them, before speaking, "Director Situ, this can't go on. We'll die from exhaustion. Most importantly, this evil spirit is poisonous. How can we avoid it in time?"
To be honest, Situ Pojun didn't expect this evil spirit to be so troublesome. Moreover, it was his first time encountering an evil spirit from the sea that had solidified into the shape of marine creatures, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.
But the next second, Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin and asked, "Can your teleportation talisman teleport this evil spirit away?"
Shang Lin frowned slightly. "It's possible, but the teleportation talisman I'm drawing now can only travel a thousand kilometers. That distance is negligible at sea, isn't it? With the guidance of the mermaid pearl, won't this thing be found again very quickly?"
Situ Pojun, "..."
