Chapter 253: Giant Snake Blocks the Road
Xiao Rui was speechless and didn't know how to respond.
Zhong Linger shook her head and sighed, "Young City Lord, since you know what I'm going to do, why don't you take people to get used to naval warfare? You should be more careful. Didn't you see that my second senior brother and Young Master Xuanyuan have already taken people to practice?"
Xiao Rui looked into the sea and said, "Oh my god, they are all so smart."
Xiao Rui jumped into the sea and asked his people to abandon all those strange and bizarre water-proof magic weapons. There were many landlubbers in Beizhou, which would be very disadvantageous if a naval battle really broke out. So there was nothing to say now. They had to learn the art of swimming. Magic weapons could only protect them for a while, not for a lifetime.
The Taiqiong Mirror was crowded with people. Seeing that the four states of east, west, south, and north were training their troops in the sea, the people of Zhongzhou were so anxious that they slapped their thighs.
"That Tianji Pavilion chief must be mentally ill. Countless experiences have proven that it is absolutely right to follow Junior Sister. Why is he so stubborn?"
"Why did Zhongzhou change the team leader? Don't you know that the relationship between Tianji Pavilion and Junior Sister is not good? Why not let the young master of the Li family lead the team?"
"Little Junior Sister is so thoughtful. They have food to eat, fun to play with, and they can even prepare for a rainy day by practicing naval battles. Isn't this better than just charging forward foolishly?"
"It's getting late, and the waves are getting bigger. Why are they still moving forward? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
"Yeah, why is it getting dark so quickly?"
"Look, what is that? Is it a sea monster?"
When Mochi learned that the boat behind him had stopped, someone suggested waiting or asking what happened, but he rejected all the suggestions.
Before setting off, the master specifically instructed that they must get to the island first and keep as much distance as possible from other states, as there are benefits waiting for them, but no one can be told about this, so he rejected the invitation of Zhong Ling'er and Xuanyuan Hongyuan, and refused to stop and wait for the ship behind, and only wanted to get to the island as soon as possible.
It was just that the sky at sea darkened too quickly, and there was a cold and eerie atmosphere filling the space, which gave him a bad feeling.
He took out the palm of his hand and opened it, and immediately heard the anxious voice of Tianming Zhenren: "There is danger, stop and retreat."
Mochi immediately came to the bow and ordered his men to retreat while observing the situation ahead. He then realized that it was not that it got dark early, but that their ship had sailed into the shadow of a huge sea monster.
A triangular snake head stood tall on the vast sea, its body covered with colorful scales. It was unknown how big the snake was, because only its head and neck were exposed above the sea, but this part alone blocked the sunlight in front of it.
At this moment, the giant snake's dark red eyes were staring at their ship. It was unknown what it would do. With its huge size, it could swallow the ship whole just by opening its mouth.
"Form a formation!"
Mo Qi shouted, and 200 monks all drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
There seemed to be a flash of disdain in the giant snake's eyes, and it yawned at the boat, causing the boat to shake violently.
Countless monks flew into the air. Moqi overcame the fear in his heart, swung his sword across the air, rushed forward and slashed with the sword, going straight for the giant snake's eye.
Blue flames spit out of the giant snake's mouth, and a cold feeling enveloped Mochi's whole body, making his movements stiff and falling from the air.
The rest of the people immediately rushed forward and stabbed at the giant snake's body, but it did not even dodge and took all the attacks with its body, surprisingly without any harm.
“I can’t beat him!”
"I can't break its defense!"
"What realm is it, Mahayana or Transcendence?"
Moqi became ruthless and took out a talisman and threw it out. Purple lightning fell and the giant snake was frightened and immediately retracted its head into the sea.
Mo Qi was overjoyed. He had left behind a purple thunder talisman given by Zhong Ling'er at the Shenyue battlefield. It seemed to have really come in handy. It was a pity that Zhong Ling'er was stingy and refused to give him more.
Although the giant snake was not injured, it was obviously angry and humiliated. The water in this sea area rolled violently, and the waves rose to more than ten feet. After a few waves came, the Zhongzhou ship was smashed to pieces.
Many monks were also blown around by the strong winds brought by the waves. Mo Qi immediately said, "Retreat and get on the boats behind."
Many people immediately flew back on their swords and fled very quickly. A few people hesitated. If they got on the boat behind, wouldn't that mean bringing disaster to other people? But some people had already fled there, and they didn't want to wait to die, so they could only take it one step at a time.
The sudden huge waves ahead startled everyone who was practicing. Zhong Ling'er immediately noticed something was wrong and asked everyone to return to the boat. Then she saw many people from Zhongzhou flying towards her. Judging from their panicked looks, it was obvious that something had happened ahead.
That's not right. They were invited by the South China Sea aquatic creatures to go to the Fairy Island to obtain the inheritance. The Dragon King should not let anyone harm them before the matter is over. Then who would be causing trouble in the South China Sea?
The monk who ran over told everyone that there was a giant snake ahead. It was very powerful and very ferocious, and it had smashed all the ships in Zhongzhou into pieces.
Mo Qi ran over and said to Zhong Ling'er, "Quick, get all the boats to retreat, we have to take a detour."
"How far can the detour lead us? How do you know that there won't be other obstacles? Let's figure it all out and think of a solution first."
Zhong Ling'er insisted on going forward to take a look. Mo Qi said anxiously: "We have tried, and we cannot defeat that giant snake. How can you insist on going your own way and risk the lives of so many people!"
Ouyang Ruochen didn't like what he said. "What do you mean by that? My junior sister is solving the problem, but you make it sound like you want to take her life lightly."
Qi Haoran was even more rude. He pointed to the sea behind him and said, "If you don't want to go, find a place to stay by yourself and don't get in our way."
"Little Junior Sister, let's go and see what giant snake scared them so much. If it really came to cause trouble, the senior brothers will chop it up and make snake soup for you."
Zhong Ling'er immediately nodded obediently. Fifth Senior Brother was becoming more and more considerate in his words and deeds.
Mo Qi was speechless. What kind of people are these in Taiqiong Sect? They only think about eating every day. If you can eat that giant snake, I will tear off its head and let you kick it like a ball.
Zhong Ling'er said she wanted to take a look, and the people from the four states did not stop her. The seafood dinner just now made everyone familiar with each other, and they were all in a relatively united mood.
The people of Zhongzhou did not escape on their own in the end, but led the way back to where the giant snake was.
Seeing the raised snake head, Zhong Linger exclaimed, "It's really huge, not much smaller than Zulong."
The dark red snake eyes stared at Zhong Ling'er. Zhong Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "I can guess who you are. You are the copper-scaled snake from the underworld, right?"
"Copper-scaled snake?"
Many people spoke in confusion. Zhong Ling'er turned around and said to everyone, "The copper-scaled snake is the guardian beast of the underworld. It grows in the water of the Forgotten River and can devour evil spirits."
