The maid poured the blood into the sea, and a faint smell of blood spread out.
Under the sea in the distance, a large oval-shaped white stone moved.
Several lines appeared on the surface of the stone. Along the lines, the stone gradually unfolded two pincers and eight crab legs, turning into a white crab.
Then all the rocks in the sea began to shake. More and more crabs returned to their original appearance.
Guided by the smell of blood, they began to swim in the direction of the smell of blood like a wave.
From the front, this looks like a group of crabs with the ability to mimic, but if you turn them over, you will find that there is a face that looks like an evil ghost on the abdomen of these crabs.
When they get close to their prey, the ghost face will open and the fangs inside will bite the flesh.
When the number is small, it is nothing, but once this kind of creature reaches a large scale, it becomes very scary.
Soon after, next to the wooden boat that was salvaging shells, the water surface was still the same as before but a little turbid. However, everyone on the boat gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Hey, do you think they held their breath for a little too long this time?"
"They may be competing, these old boys are the most dishonest."
"Xiao An, go down and check the situation and tell them to stop playing."
These soldiers brought out are all the best among the best, all of them are warriors, and more than half of them have developed internal strength.
Although they are not as good as cultivators, it can still make them much more powerful than ordinary people. For masters who are good at water, it is basically not difficult to hold water underwater for a quarter of an hour.
But this dive took a little too long.
The team leader called a shell-fishing warrior who was resting to go down and check the situation.
The young man named Xiao An also obeyed orders very well.
He took off the top that was hanging on his body and threw it away, and he plunged into the sea water in one fell swoop.
Time passed little by little, and another half-quarter of an hour passed, but there was still no movement on the water surface.
Everyone's uneasiness began to spread, and the soldiers who were dismantling pearl oysters on the deck to look for black pearls also ran to the windowsill and looked down.
Another half-quarter of an hour later, a hand suddenly reached out of the water, but the soldier Xiao An was seen fluttering on the water a few times, and then fell down weakly.
A rope flew out in time and caught Xiao An's wrist. Everyone pulled the rope together and quickly pulled him back to the shore.
When the young man was dragged out of the water, all the soldiers around him couldn't help but gasped in shock at the scene before them.
Xiao An's lower body was now covered in blood and flesh, with pale bones even exposed in many places, and most of the flesh and blood had been eaten away by unknown creatures.
Before they had time to feel sad for their companions, they found that the surrounding sea began to tremble violently, and a stream of blood surged up from below.
Then a heartbreaking sound came from the bottom of the ship. There were a large number of sharp objects destroying their ship.
There was almost no time for people to react. As the hull of the ship shook, it began to sink slowly.
Their experience told them a terrible fact: the bottom of the boat was leaking, and the leak was huge!
Several more screams were heard in the cabin below the deck. Several soldiers and crew members who were sorting supplies below had obviously been poisoned.
"Everyone protect the princess!"
"Take people down to the bottom warehouse to make emergency repairs. If the ship sinks, all of us will die!"
"What is that? First mate, something is coming towards us."
"Ghost-faced crab!!! That's a ghost-faced crab!"
Not only did something happen on the bottom of the boat below, white crabs began to crawl all around the sides of the boat.
The carapace of these crabs is extremely hard, and ordinary swords cannot harm them. They attack in groups when they see people, and can eat up a living person within twenty breaths.
Only General Yu has some qi training skills. Although the weapons in his hands are not magic weapons, they are made of low-end materials from the immortal world. He can kill ghost faces with the help of an incomplete monk swordsmanship. crab.
But compared to the number of crabs, the role it can play is really insignificant.
The noise outside finally alerted Jian Mo, Jiao Lao and others in the cabin.
"Damn it, how could you provoke such a monster!"
"Back off! Everyone back off!"
Jiao Lao's right leg, which was still intact, kicked off the deck and jumped up into the air. He took out a bottle of powder in his hand, used his spiritual energy to activate it and slapped the large ghost-faced crab on the bow of the ship with his palm.
The powder was scattered and immediately turned into a piece of coral, imprisoning all the crabs in place.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, more crabs stepped on the coral and crawled toward everyone.
The cabin door at the rear looked like it was made of tofu and was easily chewed into pieces.
Another large piece of white crabs poured out of the cabin.
The nearest crew members were immediately covered in crabs and died screaming.
Now they didn't even have a way out, so they gathered together and tried their best to block the crabs from getting closer with their weapons.
"Mr. Jiao, what should I do!"
Jian Mo had never seen such a confrontation since she was a child. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she didn't know what to do.
At this time, the ship's hull shook again, and sea water began to flood the deck.
Mr. Jiao also had an ugly expression on his face. He threw out another bottle of powder and froze a piece of crab before finally making up his mind.
He took out a folded paper boat from his hand, blew most of his spiritual energy into it, and threw it forward with shaking hands.
The paper boat swelled in the wind, and when it landed on the sea it had turned into a small boat that could be carried by one person.
"Princess, Pindao's assistance over the years has repaid the grace of saving his life. See you soon!"
After saying that, he performed a light body kung fu, jumped ten feet, and landed in the paper boat.
This scene stunned Jiang Li in the cabin. That Mr. Jiao actually ran away just because of a few crabs?
The dozen soldiers and the princess were left behind to desperately resist the Ghost-Faced Crab.
Moreover, he is a foundation-building monk after all, so why doesn’t he even have a decent air-defending magic weapon? Only a paper boat would be too much, and it’s a bit too much.
This is where Jiang Li's misunderstanding lies.
When he first entered the world of cultivating immortals, he joined the Sutra Library Valley. Later, after he became an inner disciple, he never experienced such hardship again.
But in fact, it is quite difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to obtain a magic weapon.
Even when he first started, he used inferior iron chains for a period of time. Most of the low-level monks in the world of immortality will probably only be able to use these things throughout their lives.
However, after he took power, the Chongshan League received large quantities of spiritual stones and materials several times. Now, as long as they choose to join the Chongshan League, even the lowest monks can live a prosperous life.
Everyone has elixirs to take and magic weapons to use. Compared with other places, it is already too happy.
Putting aside these sorrows, it is now time for him to come to the rescue.
On the deck, General Yu's right arm was bitten by a ghost-faced crab, and a piece of flesh and blood was missing. Now he can only hold the sword in his left hand.
Gu Yue
The rising water was already up to their knees, making it impossible for them to see the specific location of the crabs, and the situation became even more precarious.
A group of ghost-faced crabs gathered in front of them and turned into a white wave, rushing towards them.
It seems that the next moment, all the remaining people will be eaten into white bones.
At this moment, a ray of green light arrived first, bypassing them and defeating the incoming tide of crabs.
Jiang Li, holding a green vine in his hand, walked out from behind.
His brows were furrowed and his face was pale, as if the spiritual energy had caused his injuries.
"Mr. Li Jiang!"
When the few remaining people saw Jiang Li take action, they immediately rekindled their hope. They loudly called out the name Jiang Li made up for themselves.
Jiang Li lived up to his expectations. He muttered something in his mouth, his aura surged, and he patted a piece of talisman paper on the hull of the boat. The wooden boat, which was about to sink completely under the water, actually started to float again.
Large amounts of seawater were dumped out, revealing white crabs crawling all over the ship.
Jiang Li kept moving his hands and swung out the vine whip again and again, sweeping away all the ghost-faced crabs attached to the boat.
Their so-called strong carapace, to Jiang Li, was not even half as hard as an egg shell, and all of it turned into crab paste in the air.
Then the power of a piece of talisman made the entire wooden boat float into the air, breaking away from the boiling sea filled with countless ghost-faced crabs.
Having lost their target here, the remaining ghost-faced crabs were immediately attracted to a paper boat on the other side, turning into a white wave and chasing the fleeing Jiao Lao.
The La Kua Zhu Ji who had left the world of immortality for more than ten years finally died under the wave of ghost-faced crabs.
On the deck, the talisman posted on the ship seemed unable to bear the weight of the ship and had begun to burn.
Jiang Li seemed to have extremely difficult control of the wooden boat until it flew to a small island not far away, and finally made an emergency landing on the white beach.
Finally out of danger, there are only seven survivors left.
Jian Mo, maid Xiao Lian, General Yu, and four soldiers.
They stood up from the deck in a daze. Before they could rejoice in their survival, they found that "Mr. Li Jiang", who had shown his power just now, was meditating on the spot with a pale face.
"Sure, sir, before his injury healed, he forcefully used spiritual energy, causing the injury to relapse!"
"Sir, I have nothing to repay you for your great kindness!"
"Don't come close, don't disturb sir!"
"There are medicines and clean cloths in the cabin. Xiaolian, go find them and treat the general and soldiers first."
"After taking care of the injuries, let's work hard and get rid of the bodies on the ship first to prevent those ghost-faced crabs from coming back again."
The few people who survived the disaster did not dare to relax. After quickly treating their wounds, they began to clean up the corpses on the ship.
If they had known that crabs would come ashore, if those crabs found them, ten lives would not be enough to kill them.
At this time, a soldier discovered that Xiao An, who had jumped into the water before, was actually holding a pearl oyster as big as an adult's head.
He took out the dagger from his body, inserted it into the gap of the shell, skillfully cut the tendons, and then opened the big shell.
Suddenly, a dim light came into his eyes.
"Princess! First mate! Black Pearl! We found the Black Pearl!"
The soldier excitedly dug out a round, pure black bead from the flesh of the shell.
Several other people immediately came over after hearing this, with a touch of excitement on their faces. Isn't this the reason for their voyage this time?
"A black pearl of this size would have taken at least three hundred years to achieve such fineness."
"It's a pity. It would have been better if I could have found it earlier."
The treasure they had longed for was obtained, but then when they thought of their current situation, their expressions darkened again.
What if you find the black pearl?
Now that their ship has been destroyed and only seven people are dead, how can they send the pearl back?
Looking at the black pearl in her hand, and then at "Mr. Li Jiang" who was meditating in the middle of the deck, Jian Mo made a difficult decision in her heart.
In the evening, "Li Jiang, who was seriously injured and relapsed, finally woke up from meditation."
But as soon as he moved, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. He collapsed on the ground and could not stand up. His condition still looked extremely bad.
"Mr. Li Jiang! How are you?"
Jiang Li struggled to show his weakness and shook his head with a wry smile.
"If I were not injured, those things could be destroyed with a flip of my hand."
"It's a pity that I was seriously injured in the storm, and now I forcefully activate the spiritual energy and hurt the inner palace. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."
Hearing this, everyone looked sad, because if Jiang Li fell here, all of them would be dead.
Not to mention sending the pearl back, whether we can see the sun tomorrow is a big question.
At this time, the illegitimate daughter princess Jian Mo held the black pearl in her hand and respectfully handed it to Jiang Li.
"Mr. Li Jiang, can this black pearl help you heal?"
Jiang Li looked at the pearl that he stuffed into the shell, showing surprise.
"This is a three-hundred-year-old black pearl!"
"Black pearls are a holy product of healing, and they can really help me a lot now."
"But, isn't this something to be used to treat your mother? If you give it to me, what will your mother do?"
"And on a pearl coast, only one black pearl can be produced at the same time. If you give it to me, you probably won't be able to find the second one."
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Jian Mo's expression darkened for a moment, but she eventually regained her composure.
"Mr. Li Jiang helped us save our lives. You could have left on your own."
"In order to save us, the injury recurred. How could Jian Mo still hide this pearl and delay the recovery of sir's injury?"
"What's more, if sir's injuries cannot be recovered, we won't have the ability to go back alive. Sir, please don't refuse."
After saying that, he stubbornly handed the pearl to Jiang Li's hand.
The reason why Jian Mo decided to give the black pearl to Jiang Li for treatment was definitely the latter.
But Jiang Li still had a deeply moved expression on his face.
"Miss Jian Mo, you have a heart of gold."
"Don't worry, I, Mr. Jiang, also know some Qihuang techniques. When the injury is stable, I will accompany you back to visit your mother and diagnose and treat her personally."
Hearing Jiang Li's assurance, Jian Mo's eyes shone with hope.
With such an "immortal master" taking action, there was no need to worry that his mother's illness could not be cured. He immediately bowed down and kowtowed deeply to Jiang Li.
