Peach Blossom Land was flying across the blue sea, with a few fiery red birds hovering vaguely in the distant sky behind it.
That is Lord Fire Crow's clone.
Since killing the four clones last night, these new clones have appeared on the horizon.
Du Kang tried to kill them several times after that, but the Fire Crow Lord also learned the lesson. As soon as he found out that Du Kang was about to move, he would escape in advance. Even if he caught up with all his strength and killed them, new clones would appear again soon.
After doing this several times, Du Kang allowed them to continue to monitor him. Instead of being consumed by a few clones, it was better to stand ready on the ship and prepare for entering the inland sea.
The sun is high in the sky, baking the sea.
The wind direction that had always been constant changed at some point. The snakes adjusted the sail angle in time to prevent Taohuayuan from stalling. Although the surrounding environment seemed to have not changed, everyone on the boat knew that the change in wind direction meant that they had left the main channel.
, officially entered the inland sea.
Yang Liu walked to Du Kang and said worriedly, holding the chart left by Wu Ying's father-in-law.
"Master, along this route we need to pass through the clans of three demon tribes. Their strength is not weak. Do we really want to take this route? Why not walk another three hundred miles on the main channel?
Gulu Island, it will be much safer to divert from there to the inland sea."
"There is no time. The people of the Sheng family have not given me time to advance another three hundred miles on the sea. This is already the best choice now. Although this chart was left behind thirty years ago, this future
The changes in the monster tribes in the pioneering areas have been very slow. The Barnacle Sea, Sea Frog Territory, and Mermaid Territory have at least the experience of predecessors in dealing with them. It is not difficult for us to break through. What we have to worry about is that the talents of the Sheng family will be able to deal with them.
.”
Du Kang looked up at the fire crow hovering in the distance, and his words were full of confidence. Facing the uncertain future, it is normal for his subordinates to be worried, but as the leader, Du Kang must strengthen their belief and let his subordinates know to follow him.
There is a future in being mixed.
He has been in this world for so long to have such a team, but he cannot let the current difficulties affect the vibrant new life of an organization.
Although they are still weak in strength, if they work under Du Kang, as long as they don't die on the road of practicing magic, they will become independent figures sooner or later.
"Don't worry, sir, I'm taking you out to sea to gain a fortune, not to risk your life."
Du Kang patted Yang Liu's now broad shoulders, and this closeness finally made him feel relieved.
Yang Liu secretly thought that even Du Kang, a man with a wealth of wealth and wealth without risking his life, dared to take this sea route. The dangers on the road were nothing to Du Kang, and the other party should also have the confidence to save the ship easily.
people.
If Du Kang knew what Yang Liu was thinking, he would be secretly happy with his success in shaping his image. Although, his idea was to try his best to bring this boat of people to their destination on the road. If things couldn't be done, he would take the Zhendiding alone.
Abandon ship and run away...
During the conversation between the two, a different scene finally appeared on the unchanging sea surface.
At the end of the line of sight, the endless gray-green color suddenly replaced the original blue sea.
When you get closer, you can clearly see that it is a layer of gray carapace barnacles floating on the sea. Dark green seaweed multiplies among the barnacles and weaves into a large net, fixing them firmly on the sea, forming a
A sea of barnacles.
The barnacle sea has arrived.
Even though everyone on the boat was mentally prepared, they still felt frightened when they saw the gray-green ocean appearing in front of them.
Without it, because this ocean is too lifeless.
In the past, on the deck, you could see the creatures swimming underwater through the clear water. The seemingly silent blue sea on the sea is actually a vibrant water world. The deepest depth can reach one or two hundred miles, and the sea can carry far more than
More life on land.
But now that Peach Blossom Spring has not entered the Barnacle Sea, not even a small fish can be seen in the nearby water. Combined with the gray-green ocean in the distance, it looks like a moldy patch has grown in the healthy sea water.
This sea area seems to be dead.
The white-faced boy flew out from Du Kang's nose, stood on the bow of the ship, and slashed forward with a sword that was much taller than it.
呲——
The crescent-shaped sword pierced the sea surface, making a crisp sound of water breaking as it cut into the Barnacle Sea. A wound was immediately torn open on the continuous gray-green sea surface, revealing the blue water below.
From the cross-section of the wound, it can be seen that the thickest part of the barnacle sea can be as thick as a foot, but the speeding Taohuayuan did not hesitate to adjust its direction and rushed towards the crack.
The squeeze of the ship's hull expanded the wound again, and the carpet formed by thick barnacles and seaweed was rolled up and turned into a curled shape, leaving a spacious passage behind the iron star wooden ship.
Streams of sword light kept flashing across the bow of the ship, and the Peach Blossom Garden continued to penetrate deeper into the Barnacle Sea, driven by the sea breeze.
Gradually, the clone of Fire Crow Lord that had been following him in the sky disappeared for some unknown reason, and the vast sea also disappeared. The whole ship seemed to be sailing in a gray-green ocean.
There is nothing in the world except the sky above and the waves of barnacles on the sea.
The feeling of loneliness begins to haunt everyone.
"The way we came...the way we came has disappeared."
Turtle boy Liu Shou was the first to notice something strange behind the boat. After hearing his words, people looked behind the boat. Sure enough, at some point, the wide crack opened by the boat had silently disappeared behind them.
This sea of barnacles is alive! Any damage done to it will heal itself silently.
Even though there was not a single mortal on board, either a monk who had mastered magic or a demon soldier transformed by magic, this scene still made them instinctively fearful.
In such an environment, the extraordinary power possessed by low-level monks does not seem to bring them much sense of security.
Sensing the strangeness of the atmosphere, Du Kang's eyes lit up with a copper-yellow mirror light. As his eyes scanned everyone on the ship, they immediately emerged from the sense of panic as if they were waking up from a dream.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The horror of the barnacle sea lies in the illusions they unconsciously emit, as well as the monsters living here. Brace yourselves. This low-level illusion that arouses fear in people's hearts, as long as
If you are on guard, you won't be attacked."
A vine grew out of the side of the ship, and a fragment of the barnacle sea that had been temporarily crushed was picked up from the sea water and handed to Du Kang's hand.
[Name]: Barnacle/Green Algae Demon Group (Symbiosis)
"A weak monster that is too weak to be defeated and wins with numbers."
Coming to this evaluation, Du Kang threw the fragment back into the sea and began to pay attention to the situation on the ship.
After breaking away from the illusion, a series of sounds of doors and windows closing soon sounded. Except for Tan Hua, who needed to control Zi She, who was in the cabin, everyone filed out of the cabin and came to the deck.
Forty snakes wore full sets of diamond chain armor, hung fish scale knives from their waists, placed wind-chasing arrows on their iron feather bows, placed wave-breaking forks and quivers at their feet, and stood in formation on both sides of the ship.
The four turtle children turned into half-demon bodies and guarded the stern of the boat with their own weapons. Except that the turtle shell was too big to wear the armor, they wore black iron helmets on their heads, fish scale boots on their feet, and helmets on their knees and elbows.
Silver knee pads and elbow pads.
The remaining people all wore a piece of diamond chain armor and guarded the bow of the ship holding various magic weapons of their choice.
The crew's magical weapons are so luxurious that even the Sheng family, which started out by selling magical weapons, would call them a prodigal. These low-level monks and demon soldiers are almost armed to the teeth with the magical weapons.
This is to guard against attacks by monsters mentioned in the intelligence. Those magic soldiers should be left alone. It is better to distribute them to the subordinates to increase their combat effectiveness and reduce casualties as much as possible.
Du Kang looked at the sun above his head to judge the direction, and calculated the time it would take to cross the Barnacle Sea. Thirty years ago, the merchant ship Wuying's father-in-law was on took two hours to cross this sea. In the past thirty years, he has not known this sea.
How much has the Barnacle Sea expanded?
There was silence on the gray-green sea, but Du Kang could feel that something under this gray-green carpet had been spying on him. That gaze was as greedy as this dead sea of barnacles, wanting to take away everything on the ship.
Devoured by flesh and blood.
Phew!
An arm emerged from the barnacle carpet not far away, and then an ugly monster with a fish head and human body crawled out of it.
With eyes as big as a dead fish, gills that kept opening and closing in the air, a body covered with mucus, and strong human limbs, this fish-monster saw a boat of living creatures in front of him. It was full of sharp teeth.
A sharp cry immediately came out of his mouth.
Whoosh!
As soon as the cry started, a black arrow roared from the boat and pierced directly into the fish-man's open mouth. The mermaid froze on the spot for a few breaths before falling to the ground, his whole body twitching on the sea of barnacles.
I couldn't help but look like I couldn't live anymore.
No one cheered or cheered. Everyone on the boat just glanced here and then retracted their gaze, concentrating on the defense in front of them.
Du Kang saw that the fish-man who was not completely dead began to crawl on the sea of barnacles beneath him. Strands of seaweed were piercing the fish-man's facial features, and the barnacles were piercing the fish-man's smooth skin with their tiny tentacles.
skin. The prey is not dead yet, and the slow eating has begun...
Until the fish-man disappeared from Du Kang's sight, its body was not eaten much, but as long as it was there, there would always be a moment when it was eaten.
These monsters living in the Barnacle Sea only have a relationship of mutual use with the symbiotic barnacle algae monster group. The monsters use the strange environment here to hunt, and all creatures that die here will become the rations of the barnacle algae monster group.
This kind of relationship between different ethnic groups seems particularly cruel and real at this moment.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the speed of the ship actually slowed down, which allowed Du Kang to connect to the green-faced boy through the wooden spikes on the ship.
Sure enough, in the image provided by the green-faced boy, a thick layer of barnacle algae monsters had attached themselves to the bottom of the iron star wooden ship at some point. Their irregular shapes increased the resistance of the bottom of the ship, greatly slowing down the speed of the ship.
.
[Five Elements of Magic·Green-faced Boy·Thorn of Thorns]
The cyan light illuminated the dark bottom of the boat. Wooden thorns like steel needles pierced out from the flat bottom of the boat, shrank, and pierced out again. In this cycle, the tiny tentacles used by barnacles to cling to were transformed into fine needle points.
The rotten meat and the huge barnacle algae demon group clinging to the bottom of the ship just fell into the sea, being left behind by the sailing Peach Blossom Land.
Peach Blossom Spring kept heading northwest, which was the direction of their target island.
From time to time, strange ocean monsters emerge from the sea of barnacles, but they are all weak and fall to the wind-chasing arrows. As long as the arrows of the magic weapon hit the vital point, they can be killed with one hit, no matter how thick the scales are.
No amount of strong muscles can protect their lives.
This kind of disposable arrow was originally used to hunt large monsters. It costs up to twenty taels of silver each. It is really a waste to be used on such a small monster.
But in order to quickly pass through this sea area, it is an extremely cost-effective deal to use some extraneous items that are not available in this transaction.
In this game similar to whack-a-mole, time passes extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, Peach Blossom Spring has been advancing in the Barnacle Sea for two hours, but the end of this sea area is still not visible at a glance.
"Sure enough, in the past thirty years, the area of this barnacle algae demon group has expanded again. No matter this, the Sheng family's pursuers will have to struggle here for a long time."
Du Kang comforted himself in this way, still looking forward calmly, as if everything was as he expected.
This gave some peace of mind to everyone who was becoming more and more uneasy as time passed.
Suddenly, Du Kang looked to the left side of the ship, and his expression changed slightly.
"Leave two people on the starboard side, and the rest will go to the port side to provide support."
Following Du Kang's order, the snakes trotted to the left side of the ship in a neat formation and stood ready. The remaining monks also tightened their weapons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It seems that we are about to leave here. Wu Ying's father-in-law's logbook also records that before leaving the Barnacle Sea, they encountered for about half an hour
The monsters brutally attacked. He guessed later that this sea area was already an extremely mature hunting ground. Any prey could enter at will, but if you want to leave, you will face the enthusiastic efforts of the monsters to stay. I fully drew my bow and left here.
The time has come.”
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and each small, strange-looking sea monster crawled onto the surface of the Barnacle Sea, stepping on seaweed and barnacles and charging towards the Peach Blossom Spring.
The gleaming wind-chasing arrow was placed on the hand holding the bow. As the other hand loosened the string, a hail of arrows fell down the boat.
A tidal wave of arrows!
The sound of popping sharp instruments entering the body was heard endlessly, and each little demon was like a fish on the chopping board, bleeding on the soft seaweed and hard barnacles.
But this was only the first wave of monsters, and soon the monsters learned the lesson. They swam underwater to the bottom of the ship and began to attack the ship's planks. The hard iron star wood ship planks were scratched with traces by their fangs and claws.
But in the familiar green light, vines with spikes on the top emerged from the wooden boards and pierced a small sea monster.
The green-faced boy is only at the fourth level. He has not yet grown more than a hundred vines at the same time and can ensure that the vines maintain their lethality. Therefore, he can only concentrate the vines on the bottom of the ship to kill the monsters trying to destroy the ship. The other sides
It's hard to worry about.
A large number of monsters came from the left side of the ship. They quickly bypassed the port side of the ship, which was heavily attacked by arrows, and avoided the vine-covered bottom of the ship. They came to the right side of the ship and climbed up by clinging to the small gaps between the ship's planks.
At this time, it was too late to move the manpower on the port side to the starboard side. Du Kang could only send out the red-faced and yellow-faced boys who were still free.
The red-faced boy opened his mouth and spat out, and the blazing wave of fire half-cooked a large number of monsters boarding the ship, causing them to slip and fall into the water. The yellow-faced boy came to the top of several monsters who were about to reach the top, transformed into a rock giant, and punched them one by one.
His bones were broken and his tendons were broken, and he fell into the sea.
At the stern of the boat, four turtle children flew with knives, halberds, sticks, and sticks, suppressing the monsters so that they did not dare to show their heads.
On the bow of the ship, Yang Liusi, who was holding a demon-killing beheading knife, looked at the six directions and led Wu Ying's family of three to kill several fish-monsters that climbed onto the bow of the ship.
At the same time, the white-faced boy on the bow of the boat was still slashing at the sea of barnacles in front of him, opening a way forward for the Peach Blossom Spring. The entire ship continued to sail northwest at a constant speed.
Du Kang, the only free man, stood at the top of the cabin. At the end of his sight, he could faintly see a huge spiritual light coming towards this side.
