The sea monster leaves just as quickly as it comes.
This kind of monster is easy to talk to. It only needs a corpse or a living monk to send it away easily.
Eat and leave without stopping.
This actually made the monks feel relieved. If they were to fight a monster, who would be the opponent of this behemoth?
When a tiger falls in peace and is bullied by a dog, the environment is like this. You must endure it when you should endure it.
As for the fate of the strong monks, no one cared at all, just like the corpses of the monks on the ship, it had nothing to do with them.
Likewise, no one would think that there was anything wrong with Tang Zhen's approach. If the roles were swapped, they would have made the same choice.
In the world of spiritual practice, if you choose to be kind to your enemies, you may face cruel retribution.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
A monk asked Tang Zhen that he was now the commander of a group of monks and had truly valuable information in his hands.
Following his command and cooperating with each other is the wisest choice.
Already with a large number of people, coupled with Tang Zhen's intelligence, the advantage he now holds is getting bigger and bigger.
If anyone deliberately causes trouble, it is simply asking for death. Not only will Tang Zhen not agree, but other monks will not allow it either.
To put it bluntly, the current situation is that everyone cooperates with each other and overcomes difficulties together.
The ultimate goal is, of course, to gain what you want.
Tang Zhen stood at the bow of the ship, looking straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through the heavy darkness.
After hearing someone asking, Tang Zhen pondered for a moment and decided to continue hunting and robbing food.
Even if there is a big ship to pick him up, the time of arrival cannot be determined. During the waiting process for an unknown period of time, hunger will definitely take away the life of the monk.
Therefore, the search for food must not be stopped until the last moment.
There is no way a ship full of corpses of monks could be used as food, even if there were no taboos.
According to Tang Zhen's guess, the monk's corpse, like the sea water, should be highly poisonous.
If he was so hungry that he swallowed the monk's body, he would definitely regret it.
The strange world of purple light does not leave such obvious loopholes at all, but has deadly traps hidden everywhere.
After all the flat-bottomed wooden boats were fixed, a monk was selected to summon the water ghost, and Tang Zhen and others started searching again.
It's just that we didn't go long this time when we encountered something unusual.
Less than twenty minutes into the journey, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the sea and rushed towards a monk beside the boat.
The speed of the black shadow was so fast that the monk couldn't dodge, and the black shadow pounced directly on him.
The monk struggled desperately, but the black shadow was like glue, wrapping him tightly.
Black spikes pierced the monk's mouth and nose one after another, and at the same time, they kept crawling on the boat, trying to drag him into the sea.
The monk wanted to get rid of him, but was unable to do so. He could only approach the side of the boat while struggling painfully.
"Bang!"
A bronze oar flew over and pierced the black shadow, and also pierced the monk's abdomen.
The monk let out a muffled groan, and the black shadow also let out a strange cry, but increased its dragging strength.
"Everyone launches an attack together, and the attack must be powerful. We must save the lives of our companions!"
Tang Zhen's voice sounded, his tone unquestionable.
"kill!"
The monks roared in unison, and the bronze paddle kept slashing at the monk, but it only broke the skin.
But in an instant, the black shadow was chopped into pieces, and the trapped monk was finally rescued.
His body was dripping with blood, and there were wounds everywhere caused by the bronze oars. Fortunately, they were not fatal.
Immediately, a monk came forward and stuffed a piece of food into his mouth to help the monk heal quickly.
As for the black shadow, it had been chopped into pieces by the monks.
A shocking thing happened. Black sewage seeped out from the fragments, revealing the true face of the black shadow. He turned out to be a monk.
"I've seen this guy before. He's the monk who just jumped into the sea!"
Pointing to the severed head, a monk said loudly, his expression looking very serious.
"If you fall into the sea, you will turn into such a monster and follow the fleet to launch sneak attacks.
In the coming time, everyone should be as careful as possible to prevent being attacked by similar monsters again!"
After the old man stepped forward to check, his expression became slightly solemn, and he shouted a reminder to everyone.
"So far, we have only encountered one monk who jumped into the sea. I don't think we need to worry too much."
A monk said that he and Tang Zhen boarded the ship at the same time, so he naturally knew that several monks had fallen into the sea.
"If that's the case, it would be great, but still don't let your guard down."
Because he brought a group of disciples with him and Tang Zhen placed him in high regard, the old man took the initiative to act as a facilitator.
There will be such characters beside every leader to help with various matters.
The monks nodded silently, even if the old man didn't remind them, they would never take it lightly.
In this special environment, you should never expect others to protect you, but always stay vigilant and stay away from danger as much as possible.
However, what happened just now gave Tang Zhen more recognition, because he was the first to attack and pierce the monk's body with a bronze oar.
If he hesitated for a few more seconds, the monk would be dragged into the sea, and the consequences would be disastrous.
The monk who was rescued was saluting Tang Zhen's fist to express his gratitude.
The sudden change did not affect everyone's actions, and they quickly resumed following the water ghost.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, something unexpected happened again.
The sea monster that specialized in devouring corpses appeared silently again and followed the fleet.
"What's going on?"
Tang Zhen had doubts in his mind, but he still ordered someone to drop a body and try to send the sea monster away.
After getting the body, the sea monster dived into the bottom of the sea again and disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, only ten minutes later, the sea monster appeared again, following the fleet like a ghost.
Including Tang Zhen, all the monks had very ugly expressions.
No food sacrifice was used, but sea monsters appeared one after another. This situation was indeed very abnormal.
The monks all suspected that this sea monster had taken advantage of it and had already set its sights on them.
Just like a greedy wolf, you can't even hope to feed it and stop following it and harassing you.
After discovering that you have more food, it will chase after you. Not only does it want all the food, it will even devour the feeder.
"This sea monster must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
The old man said next to him, his expression very solemn.
“It’s not that there are no solutions, but it’s still unclear whether they will be effective.”
Tang Zhen spoke with some hesitation in his tone.
"You have a way, so why not try it, it's better than doing nothing."
The old man said to Tang Zhen with a face filled with surprise.
"In this purple light world, the items that can be used are limited, which is one of the reasons for my hesitation.
Also, is the sea monster made of flesh and blood, and can it be killed?
If you can’t kill him, what should you do?”
Although he had doubts, it did not affect Tang Zhen's actions. While talking to the old man, he had already started to get busy.
