Chapter 702: Sea Beast Attack
The other boats that could still be seen around were now gone. In the vast sea, as long as there is a slight deviation in the route, it will be a huge deviation.
Before coming here, Huo Hai had already studied it. The reef islands were actually not small at all. The combined area of the entire archipelago can even be as large as a province in the Great Land Empire. Among the southern countries, it would be comparable to half a small kingdom.
In such a large area, the action routes cannot be exactly the same. When you go to such a place, you are basically unlikely to encounter the fleet of a big force on the road. But at this time, Feng Xiao did not relax, but became more vigilant. It's not easy to see people here, but you can see even more unreasonable sea beasts.
At this time, even the three brothers Huo Hai and Hai Yi no longer rested, but instead paid vigilant attention to everything around them.
Time flew by, and in the calmness, it was approaching noon in a blink of an eye. As noon approached, a large black shadow suddenly appeared on the sea. The black shadow quickly approached the boat, and the water began to boil slowly.
"It's a sea monster, everyone, be careful. I'll go down and take a look." Feng Xiao said and jumped into the sea. In just a moment, the water surface exploded, and Feng Xiao jumped out of the sea water again. The spiritual power was flowing all over his body, and the sea water did not stick to his body at all.
Feng Xiao's face looked much better: "It doesn't matter, it's just some ordinary sea beasts, nothing." As he said that, Feng Xiao took out a bottle, opened it, and slowly poured it into the sea water. "This is the potion I prepared in advance to get rid of sea beasts. With this, we basically don't have to worry." Feng Xiao's preparations are really complete.
I just don’t know if Feng Xiao had already prepared it or if he bought it secretly when they dispersed later. But judging from Feng Xiao's actions, this guy is indeed a very experienced veteran.
Following such a veteran can also make you feel more relaxed. When Haiyi saw Feng Xiao's actions, he nodded and made no further moves. When the potion slowly merged into the sea, the nearby black shadows began to retreat quickly and soon disappeared without a trace.
Later, even if there were sea beasts that wanted to attack them, they would quickly disperse after approaching a certain distance. This special medicine used to repel animals is really effective. Time flies and it's afternoon. With the effect of the animal repellent potion, peace continued to remain along the way. If we continue like this, we might be able to reach the reef islands without any danger.
However, Huo Hai still underestimated the power of sea beasts. Before every tide breaks out, a large number of sea beasts gather near the reef islands, and it is the same now. Even many sea beasts in the spirit king realm will gather here.
In terms of quantity, there are more sea beast masters than human masters. If the sea beasts weren't at odds with each other and often attacked each other, no one would dare to approach this place casually. As afternoon approached, the repellent drugs began to lose their effectiveness for the first time.
A large black shadow ignored the threat of the repellent drug and crashed into the boat. Seeing this, Hai Yi reached out and patted the sea water, and the surrounding sea water immediately solidified. The next moment, the sound of "rumbling..." came from underwater, and the huge force caused the boat to continuously vibrate. However, the sea beast's attack was blocked by the condensed seawater barrier.
It was also at this time that Huo Hai knew that Hai Yi was a magician. Using spells on a large scale, emphasizing power but not paying attention to subtle control, this is what a magician is. Given the current environment, Hai Yi's combat effectiveness can be imagined.
"You go deal with the sea beasts, I'll protect the ship here." Hai Yi shouted loudly. The others nodded after hearing this, and then jumped into the air. The small boat is their guarantee to get to the rocky islands. Without the boat, there would definitely be more troubles along the way. When there is a boat, many sea beasts will actually avoid it. They know how scary humans are.
Upon hearing this, Huo Hai followed closely and rose into the sky. Although it is impossible to truly fly in the realm of the Spirit King, there is no problem in staying on the water and using the water as a road.
Huo Hai had just gotten off the boat when he suddenly felt a cold breath coming from his back. Huo Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He turned around and stabbed behind him with the long sword at a weird angle.
The simulated sword energy was emitted, and after the long sword strengthened the sword energy, the simulated sword energy developed by Huo Hai himself was actually more powerful than the real sword energy used by many Spirit King masters. The sword energy flew across the air and soon hit an object. With a soft "ding" sound, Huo Hai's sword energy was shattered on the spot under the water. A black shadow broke through the sea water and came out across the sky.
"Is this a mermaid? This sea beast looks really unique." Huo Hai looked at the creature emerging from the water, and a thought flashed in his mind. The creature in front of me looks very similar to the legendary mermaid, but it is not a real mermaid.
Underneath the body is a long tail, and its scales give it a very solid feel. The ears are like fish fins, and the hair is sea blue, blowing in the sea breeze. But unfortunately, the one in front of me seems to be a man.
Huo Hai knew that this was a sea beast that had reached the realm of the Spirit King. In fact, after most spirit beasts reach the realm of spirit kings, they can truly transform and gradually approach the human form. However, this is also a process.
Their IQ is comparable to that of humans, but they will leave behind many of their original characteristics after transformation. Walking in human society, one can tell at a glance that this thing is a spiritual beast. As strength increases, this characteristic will become less and less common.
It is said that after reaching the realm of the Spiritual Emperor, the sea beast will take full form and will be no different from a real human being. Moreover, he can also practice human spirit techniques and combat spirit techniques. Some spiritual beasts with powerful talents, after transformation, are much more powerful than humans of the same level. These spiritual beasts have even formed many powerful forces on the mainland.
"Who are you and why are you attacking us?" The long sword in Huo Hai's hand pointed at the mermaid in front of him. Looking around, there are actually two mermaids here, who look similar to this guy. They were restrained by Hai Er and Feng Xiao respectively.
Hai San, who had no opponent to restrain him, showed off his power and directly communicated with the plants in the ocean, forming sharp blades that continuously strangled nearby sea beasts. With Hai San's help, Hai Yi's pressure has also been reduced a lot.
However, there are still many sea beasts around. If these sea beasts continue to attack, there is no telling how many sea beasts will cause trouble here. There are no reinforcements at this time, so we can't delay here.
"Humans, it's your fault that you came to the blue sea to disturb our lives. If you leave now, we will forget about it." After the sea beast transformed, it became a lot smarter and knew how to use intimidation to scare off the enemy. Unfortunately, this guy didn't seem to see the situation clearly, and he didn't know much about the various intrigues between humans.
Huo Hai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He pointed his sword in his hand and said calmly: "We have no intention of leaving, and this blue sea is not yours to decide. If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude. "
On the long sword, the sword energy flickered and flickered, making people feel an unusually sharp feeling. Even before Huo Hai made a move, the mermaid in front of him could already feel the dull pain on his skin.
Huo Hai's actions not only did not make the other party retreat, but instead completely angered him. "Damn humans, go to hell." The mermaid moved in the air, as if swimming, and quickly swam toward Huo Hai. In his hands, two short harpoons appeared at some point. The mermaid uses a harpoon, which seems really ironic.
However, Huo Hai did not dare to underestimate these two harpoons. Spirit beasts are different from humans. Most spirit beasts can separate part of the baptism of the power of heaven and earth when they break through the Spirit King. This part is used to temper your weapons.
When these spirit beasts transform themselves, they often shed some special items, and the weapons tempered from these items are the weapons most suitable for their own use. The most important thing is that these weapons can continue to improve in quality as their own strength increases. It's just that if you do this, the spirit beast itself will be weaker.
Many spiritual beasts usually do this kind of thing. The two harpoons in front of him were probably of earth-level quality. Huo Hai did not dare to let his long sword collide with the opponent's harpoon casually.
Seeing the mermaid swimming towards him, Huo Hai used the seawater under his feet to gently turn himself. The sword kept thrusting out at very strange angles. Every thrust of the sword will bring out a powerful sword energy.
The sword energy points to the key points on the mermaid's body. If you want to dodge these attacks, you will have no way to continue chasing Huo Hai. If you don't want to dodge, you can only resist them. In desperation, the mermaid could only use the harpoon in her hand to break Huo Hai's sword energy one by one. As a result, the distance between the two became closer and closer.
"Sure enough, it is of earth-level quality. It seems to be his own original weapon." Huo Hai understood the true quality of the two harpoons in his hands when he saw the mermaid easily destroying his own sword energy. But even so, Huo Hai is not worried.
While retreating and constantly circling the mermaid, Huo Hai waved his long sword and continued to emit sword energy. This time the sword energy was less powerful, but more cunning and faster. Although the power has become smaller, to the mermaid, the lethality is the same, and it is even more dangerous at this time. So the two of them kept this distance and kept attacking back and forth.
Huo Hai is not anxious at all, his cultivation is stronger than that of the mermaid. It really explodes with all its combat power, and it is very easy to kill this mermaid. Huo Hai peeked at other battlefields while fighting. The other two seemed to be hiding their strength as well.
