Chapter 495 Cloud Whale Beast 2
Zhang Zhixuan and his three companions had just come from Nanyazhou and had no idea about many monsters in Qingli Sea. Although Jia Mengzhen and his companions were stronger than them, they did not dare to provoke high-level monsters. Only the few foundation-building cultivators from Giant Whale Island were well-informed and had hunted cloud whales.
After listening to Sheng Tianlu's story, Han Yan frowned slightly.
"Obviously, the cloud whale has already dived underwater. Since this kind of monster is very smart, it may not be impossible to ambush underwater. I am an ice spirit root cultivator and can fight underwater, but the cloud whale is a fourth-level late-stage monster after all, and I am not sure that I can successfully hunt an adult cloud whale underwater.
There are not enough foundation-building cultivators on the treasure ship, and they cannot be easily transferred, otherwise the strength on the treasure ship will be insufficient. We have to wait for Li Yulin to arrive before discussing it!"
Thinking of this, Han Yan took out a medium-grade spirit stone and recovered his mana in a hurry. After waiting for almost half an hour, Li Yulin arrived nearby with the Victory.
When the Victory arrived, Han Yan told Li Yulin about the situation and asked directly: "It has been an hour now, and the Cloud Whale Beast has already escaped from the deep sea. What should we do?"
Li Yulin frowned and said: "The last time we hunted the Cloud Whale Beast, we mainly relied on a fourth-grade lower-quality treasure ship. This treasure ship was equipped with a set of huge fishing net magic tools, which could entangle the Cloud Whale Beast underwater, and then the Purple Mansion period cultivators entered the water and forced it to the surface before they succeeded. Now that we don't have this fishing net magic tool, we can only think of another way."
Just when everyone was at a loss, the lookout on the treasure ship suddenly changed his face and shouted immediately: "Be careful, there are enemies in the distance."
Han Yan's magic power moved, and she immediately rose to a high altitude. She looked up and found that four treasure ships were coming from a distance.
These four treasure ships are of different sizes. The largest one is a third-grade upper-quality treasure ship like the Victory, the slightly smaller one should be a third-grade middle-quality, and the other two are weaker in combat power and are third-grade lower-quality treasure ships.
Under normal circumstances, the combat power of these four treasure ships is no weaker than that of the Victory and Crescent.
As soon as the lookout finished speaking, the four treasure ships in front of him quickly dispersed, trying to surround the Victory and Crescent. At the same time, two sword lights quickly rose from the other ship and flew towards the fleet aggressively.
The two sword lights came one after another. As soon as the first person approached the treasure ship, Han Yan did not say a word and suddenly sacrificed the Ice Soul Mysterious Light Sword and slashed directly at this reckless opponent.
The Ice Soul Cold Light Sword is already a fourth-level upper-grade flying sword, and Han Yan's cultivation is also quite good. This opponent has just opened up the Purple Mansion and only has a fourth-level lower-grade flying sword in his hand. The magic weapon was instantly cut off by the Ice Soul Black Light Sword. If he had not immediately sacrificed a fourth-level lower-grade defensive talisman, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded by Han Yan.
"Fellow Daoist, don't do it yet. Fellow Daoist Lu has no ill intentions."
The cultivator behind was also a Purple Mansion, but he was already at the fourth level of Purple Mansion. The magic weapon in his hand was also quite sophisticated. He used a fourth-level middle-grade defensive magic weapon to block Han Yan's next wave of attacks. Seeing that the two treasure ships were ready to release the God-Destroying Crossbow, this person was a little flustered and shouted immediately.
Han Yan saw that the opportunity had been lost. If he continued to fight, it would be likely that both sides would suffer losses. Moreover, Jia Mengzhen and others had only a short time to operate the treasure ship and could not fully exert the power of the treasure ship. In fact, it was just a show. If a melee really broke out, they might not be able to win. So he chose to stop and stabilize the situation.
"I am Yang Juncheng. Fellow Daoist Lu is just reckless and has no intention of offending you."
Yang Juncheng has a thin face, narrow eyes, and looks to be in his fifties. At first glance, he is a smiling tiger with a fake smile.
This kind of person is thick-skinned and black-hearted, and changes his face faster than turning a book. Han Yan does not want to deal with this person more.
Seeing Han Yan sneer, Yang Juncheng smiled thickly and said, "We tracked a cloud whale beast to this sea area. Unexpectedly, we met Daoyou. Daoyou Lu was anxious, so he wanted to go on board to discuss with Daoyou and jointly hunt this monster."
"There is no need to join forces. The cloud whale beast has already dived into the deep sea. If you dare to go to the sea to hunt it, just go by yourself." Han Yan glared with a murderous look in his eyes, as if he could not help but turn against him at any time.
Seeing that Han Yan was really hard to talk to and his cultivation was higher than the two, Yang Juncheng thick-skinnedly bowed to Han Yan and pulled the ashamed Lu Zifu back to his treasure ship.
Seeing the two people leave, Li Yulin said thoughtfully: "These two people clearly have bad intentions. If there is no ancestor in our treasure ship, I am afraid that these two people are not so easy to talk to, and they may turn against us and attack us."
"It's a pity that you are inexperienced, otherwise I would have been ready to take action just now. Since this person is disturbing us, it is difficult for us to hunt the cloud whale beast smoothly. This time we have been out for a long time, so why not return now."
After listening to Han Yan's words, Li Yulin nodded vigorously and promised: "Don't worry, ancestor, we will try our best to familiarize ourselves with the treasure ship, even if we teach one by one and guide them hand in hand, in another year or two, we will be able to exert 80% to 90% of the combat effectiveness of the treasure ship."
After this accident, the Victory and Crescent slowly withdrew, leaving this sea area to Yang Juncheng and others.
They had just sailed for three days and were on their way back when the lookout saw the cloud whale beast again.
However, this Cloud Whale Beast had been severely injured, with a wound more than ten feet long exposed on its back. White light continued to emerge from the wound, preventing it from healing. Even the Cloud Whale Beast's eyeballs were emitting a large amount of strong stench, and it seemed that it could no longer see.
Because of the severe injury to its back, the Cloud Whale Beast could not hide underwater for a long time and had no choice but to float up. The blindness in both eyes made it unable to discern the direction at all, and it actually ran behind the treasure ship.
After discovering this, the two treasure ships immediately turned around and cooperated with Han Yan to surround the cloud whale beast.
"Master, this cloud whale beast is the one we discovered a few days ago. I don't know what method Yang Juncheng and others used to make this monster beast float up and severely damage this cloud whale beast. This can be regarded as The mantis stalked the cicada while the oriole followed. Although we took a step back, we unexpectedly reaped the greatest benefits.”
Approaching the injured cloud whale beast, Shi Guiqing's face lit up and she happily said to Han Yan.
"It's better to catch it early than to catch it wisely. This means that our chances are better than those of Yang Juncheng and others. I estimate that Yang Juncheng and others are not far away. I'm afraid they won't give up. The top priority is to hunt down the cloud whale beast quickly."
After the three parties encircled them, Han Yan quickly released a fourth-level mid-level spell called Thousand Miles of Ice. It was a large-scale group attack spell, and the lethality of a single target was slightly insufficient.
Once this spell is cast, a large area of ice mist can be quickly formed on the ground in front, and a large number of ice spikes can be produced to attack the enemy. When used in a water surface environment, it can freeze the water surface for more than ten miles nearby, preventing the cloud whale beast from diving.
