Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 160: Snake Foot
Before Hong could react, a green and yellow cloud tail wrapped around his body and lifted him high into the sky.

The wind was howling and the waves were surging.

The offshore water creature, who was used to strong winds and waves, showed amazing calmness at this moment. After seeing who was behind the cloud tail, he not only did not struggle at all, but also controlled the dark blue torrent to press down suddenly, trying to neutralize the impact with the rising water.

Hundred-ton torrents of water rushed down like the blade of a shovel, colliding violently with the raised water layer and stirring up countless white waves.

The air flow was turbulent, and one after another violent brown-blue currents hit the bottom of the boat. The long and thick tentacles broke through the water layer and broke the entire fishing boat in the blink of an eye!

boom!
The blue-black snake head extended from the bottom of the sea, and it did not give up after piercing through the fishing boat. Its tentacles, like reefs on the seabed, shot up into the sky, and it actually wanted to drag Qin Huai and the other person in mid-air into the seabed together.

"what?!"

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows and looked down.

The dark blue tentacles, reef shells and rock protrusions, and the piled-up broken shells and fish bones not only do not look dirty, but instead have an eerie beauty.

Is this a sea monster?
【Snake Legs】： ???’s arms and legs have a basic sense of hunting.

Note: A few days ago, the ground in Jiaozhi was in turmoil, awakening the ??? sleeping in the abyss. Countless snake legs woke up and looked for food for the main body.

The black ripples subsided, and Qin Huai looked a little solemn.

Seeing the strange snake's feet approaching, a turquoise wind surged under Qin Huai's body, and the cloud tail tangled into wings, which fluttered violently. Qin Huai and the other person leaped into the air and narrowly missed the giant snake's head.

After rushing out of the water for dozens of meters, the blue-black tentacles were no longer able to climb. Qin Huai's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he held the Spring and Autumn broadsword in his hand. Violent lightning surged on the blade. After a little accumulation of power, his figure shot out like a sharp arrow and landed on the snake's head.

The wind whistled, air waves exploded, and the bright sword light slashed straight down!
义！
The snake's neck, tentacles, and legs, which were several feet thick, were cut by the Spring and Autumn Sword, leaving a huge wound deep enough to see the bone. Dark blue and fishy blood dripped into the sea, creating layers of ripples.

Under the reef shell, the black tentacles covered with fleshy thorns were contracting and expanding regularly. The sticky gelatin and black gold bones exposed to the air emitted a fishy smell, causing Qin Huai to frown.

Facing this huge wound that could be fatal, the dark blue snake head at the end of its tentacles seemed unaware. It turned its head and sank back into the turbid vortex, disappearing in the black tide.

Seeing the snake's feet retreating temporarily, Qin Huai did not dare to be careless. While controlling the cloud wings to stay in the air, he dodged the mud flows while dodging them.

Under Qin Huai, Hong, who was tied up by Yunwei's waist and abdomen and carried to Gao Tian, ​​was also not idle. He was summoning countless water beasts out of thin air, which collided with the evil creatures in the black tide that wanted to harass the two of them.

Bone fragments flew everywhere and water splashed everywhere.

After Qin Huai and the other man flew high into the sky, without Qingbi Canglan to maintain stability, in just a few breaths, the sea surface covered by the black tide became extremely dangerous.

As the sea and sky met, many blue-black air currents floated from under the water into the air. Strange winds emerged, and black tornadoes intertwined and danced in front of Qin Huai's eyes.

"Chief Hong, this should be the dragon sucking water that you encountered earlier, right?"

Hong looked carefully at the howling evil wind and water volume, and said hatefully: "It's exactly like that. I didn't expect there would be a beast near the coast that could stir up such a hurricane!"

Qin Huai Yunyi flapped his wings, and the pale autumn wind turned into countless chains in the air, entwining the black tornado. The cold frost blew past, and it came into direct contact with the black evil wind. In an instant, layers of white mist and frost burst out, freezing most of the blue-black airflow.

The black tornado was about to be crushed by the frost and die in the womb. The whirlpool on the sea surface was deeply sunken, and the huge snake's feet poked out again. The reef shell, which had recovered like new, attacked Qinhuai with tremendous force and black tide foreign objects.

Qin Huai's eyes flashed with green light, and several green dragon thunders fell down, entwining the blade of the Spring and Autumn Sword. Yun Yi shook, and the majestic Tian Wu phantom raised his tiger claws, and chopped on the "neck" of the snake foot with the big knife!
Gravel flew and lightning burst.

After the Spring and Autumn Sword cut through the rocky shell of the reef, the violent and rough lightning snake rushed into the flesh of the tentacles. In the smell of burnt meat, Qin Huai's pincer hand holding the big sword suddenly pulled out, crushing the large ball of wind under his feet, and the gap on the tentacles broke inch by inch, revealing the black gold snake bones again!
Several thunder talismans were waved out, making way for many sharp-edged foreign objects in the black tide. Qin Huai looked up at the giant snake foot that was covered with wounds.

The snake head covered by algae roared silently, and the sticky gelatin inside had lost its activity. The burning pain brought by the thunder spread along the tentacles to the bottom of the sea, as if awakening something extraordinary.

The snake's foot was mostly destroyed by Qin Huai, but the situation on the sea became more and more dangerous. Not only did the black tornado resurrect and grow more and more powerful, but the strange creatures in the black tide also rushed towards the two fearlessly, madly consuming the warriors' physical strength.

Sweeping in all directions!

The four barbarians are submissive!

Qin Huai swung the Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand, crushing countless black monsters. Then his spine stretched like a dragon, the muscles in his arms tensed, and the blade swept past, actually smashing the black tornado into pieces!

Overlord slash!
The blue-black airflow dissipated silently, and the dark blue sea surface formed a thrilling arc. The rapidly rotating water at the bottom of the vortex gradually merged with the black tide, pushing the snake's feet that were drifting with the current faster and faster.

In a moment, the snake's feet were dragged by the vortex, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

No, that's not an afterimage!

Dozens of tentacles, larger than the previous snake feet, stretched out from the vortex. The dense golden pupils on them opened, and they looked at Qin Huai and the other person with extremely cold eyes.

A dark blue evil wind spewed out from the bloody mouth of the snake head, and a sweet and fishy poisonous gas and several tentacles rose into the sky. In just a blink of an eye, they were in front of Qin Huai.

Qin Huai's forehead was throbbing with veins, and the wings formed by eight cloud tails gathered in front of his chest, with overlapping green light and black patterns. Judging from his plan, he actually wanted to take it head-on!

Bang! ! ! !

The snake's feet flapped out and the cloud feathers flew.

As soon as the rear end touched, Qin Huai felt a very strong impact. It felt as if a heavy truck weighing dozens of tons suddenly hit him, swiftly and suddenly, with great force.

The force was transmitted to Qin Huai through Yunwei. Without any resistance, the two of them flew backwards at an unimaginable speed and fell towards the coast.

When Shezu saw Qin Huai and the other man suddenly escape and he couldn't catch up with them, he roared silently and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The silt settled, the Kuroshio receded, and the sea surface gradually returned to calm.
-
A blue light flashed across the sky, and under the giant cloud wings, the two people who had been knocked unconscious by the snake's feet gradually recovered.

"Captain Qin, are you okay?!"

Hong, who was dragged by Yunwei, was not feeling well at the moment. He was just being taken care of by a snake's foot, and now his cheeks were swollen, so his words to Qin Huai were inevitably a little unclear.

"fine!"

Qin Huai's internal organs were somewhat dislocated at this time, and his condition was not very good. The high-frequency dodging consumed a lot of his physical strength, and only a small part of his meteorological power remained. From the perspective of life and death, he should not have taken the angry attack of the snake's feet.

However, since Qin Huai chose to do this, he must have his reasons.

In the national martial arts competition of Xin Chou 7, warriors often start with a strategy of resisting the opponent's fists and palms, testing the strength, and determining the subsequent tactics. Qin Huai, as a Baji Sect disciple, is naturally adept at this kind of fighting strategy. Just now, he saw dozens of snakes and fish leaping out with terrifying power. Qin Huai thought that his body was strong and protected by the aura, so he decided to resist the blow and test his strength.

The subsequent development was just as he had imagined, with no wisdom and only brute force. Qin Huai took advantage of the situation, using Yunwei to fight and collect information while using the force to retreat temporarily and lead Hong out of danger.

Judging from today's brief encounter, the strength of this sea beast is really hard to predict.

If this sea monster only has dozens or hundreds of snake legs, Qin Huai is confident that he can unite the people from the three divisions to cut them off one by one and calm the storm.

But if there are more snake feet, it will be difficult to deal with.

Qin Huai thought about the information about sea beasts he had discovered on this trip and was barely satisfied.

Combining the information gathered from the first glimpse and actual combat, a single snake foot was nothing surprising. Although it had a hard shell, tremendous strength, and some other means, the danger rating given by Yanfu was only red.

But once the number increases, the quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. Just a cluster of a dozen snakes has reached the deep red level of danger.

What about the dozens? Hundreds? Purple? Light black? Qin Huai shook his head and sighed in his heart.

Even these speculations cannot make corresponding judgments, let alone the real body of the sea monster, about which there is currently no information at all.

Hmm. Looks like I have to come again tomorrow.

After figuring out the key, Qin Huai's illusory wings formed by the cloud tail stretched out as far as possible in the air, and glided all the way with the force of the snake's feet flapping.

Soon, the two saw the yellow sand beach near the sea of ​​Yushan.

In the cave, Qin Huai, who had recovered his breath, tore open a few nectar talismans to heal his injuries, while pouring medicinal food into his mouth to restore his energy.

Seeing that Qin Huai was busy, the people from the three departments did not disturb him. At this time, they were surrounding a mass of translucent pus flesh and examining it carefully.

This thing is the gum cut from the snake's foot during the previous battle by Qin Huai. He put it in the mark space and brought it back, intending to let everyone identify it and brainstorm to come up with a countermeasure.

Guan Wei took off a small piece and burned it with green flame.

The pus flesh curled up and emitted white smoke from the burn. It was obvious that this thing was very afraid of fire.

"It's quite watery, so we can use fire to attack it."

Guan Wei looked at the pus-filled flesh that had turned into charred charcoal, extinguished the fire, and looked at the dragon girl who was playing with the pearl.

"I'm fine, but I can't swim, so I need someone to protect me."

Hearing everyone's discussion, the usually silent and arrogant witch also said a word.

"Enough time, I can suck it dry."

Before he finished speaking, he tore off a piece of pus flesh, and the roots growing out of his hand instantly sucked it into a piece of gray, shriveled meat.

Looking at the demonstration of the rampant witch, Qin Huai's eyes lit up.

This is a good idea, I can try it tomorrow.

"That sea beast is huge. Just one of its tentacles is more than ten feet long and several feet thick. It would be extremely difficult to burn it dry or suck it dry!"

Hong shook his head, causing Yuan, who was applying the ointment to him, to apply it crookedly.

After listening to Hong's narration and taking another look at the unnecessary remains, the railway worker shrugged his shoulders, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

"I can't handle this thing."

Qin Huai had seen Dong Di's swordsmanship, which was very effective against evil spirits. But it was not very effective against the giant spirits of the mountains and seas, so it was understandable that he was not strong enough.

"If this sea beast dares to come ashore, I am confident that I can cooperate with you to capture it. But if it shrinks in the deep sea, I am afraid that the guards like me will not be able to help much."

Qin Huai was a little surprised to hear Zhang Teng's words.

How could Baixiao Junsha be so strong? It seemed that there were some means that he didn't know about.

After thinking about the dozens of unnecessary things that were similar to the military formation, Qin Huai reluctantly agreed with Zhang Teng's judgment.

"Mr. Qin, you were unable to identify the true face of the sea beast this time. Do you have any plans to go again?"

After the monk touched the remaining snake feet with the five-colored auspicious cloud, he had some ideas. But whether it was effective or not would be known only after Qin Huai tried it.

"I plan to go again tomorrow and dive underwater to explore further."

After resting for a while, Qin Huai, who had almost recovered, nodded in a calm tone.

"Captain Qin, we are having a hard time dealing with it on the water today. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if you go underwater tomorrow?"

Hong saw Qin Huai was knocked away by the snake today, and wondered if it was intentional. At this time, he heard that Qin Huai would go to investigate again tomorrow, and he was a little worried.

Qin Huai waved his hand, indicating that Hong didn't need to worry.

"I didn't use my full strength today, Patriarch Hong, don't worry."

Seeing that Qin Huai was quite confident, Hong didn't know what to say and could only turn his gaze to Zhiming.

"Tomorrow I will go with you, the donor, and together we will meet this sea beast."

Zhiming dared to go with Qin Huai because he had his own reasons. Apart from anything else, his ability to fly with the five-colored auspicious clouds was enough to drag him around the coastal waters several times.

"I'll go as well."

The arrogant witch raised his eyelids, revealing a somewhat wooden look, and spoke in a muffled voice.

Jade Water, Somewhere in the Thousand Islands

In a rock cave that was severely eroded by the sea breeze, two burly figures, one black and one white, were staring at a mirror for a long time in silence.

There were dark black talismans engraved around the water mirror, and the scene of Qin Huai and his companion fighting against Shezu Kuroshio appeared on the mirror.

Canglan Cloud Tail, Qingbi Dragon Thunder, Spring and Autumn Sword Technique.
The black-robed figure saw every trick Qin Huai used, and together with Huineng, they became a major concern for him.

The battle scene disappeared, and Li Li's face was reflected in the water mirror. The black-robed figure was the second son of the Li family, the black corpse Taoist Li Zhi, who had changed his skin and had Li Li's face.

However, judging from his body which is much stronger than before, he has obviously made considerable progress during this period.

"Ever since I killed that angry shark and painted it into my black skin, I haven't touched this witch spirit. Now I happen to run into my enemy, big brother, let these witch spirits that you have supported for most of your life avenge you."

Li Zhi looked at Li Li's body in the black coffin beside him, muttering to himself as he took out the Feng Shui compass which had more than ten layers.

After doing this, Li Zhi frowned as he looked at the compass needle that still couldn't calculate the exact direction.

"Three days later, at the hour of Mao. Due south? Southeast?"

The three pillars of year, month and day are complete, but the geographical direction is incomplete.

Li Zhi thought about it, put away the compass, and chanted some spells.

After a while, the hungry ghost he had captured emerged and struggled in front of him.

"untie!"

As soon as the noose around his neck disappeared, the hungry ghost immediately turned into a stream of air and floated towards the south, as if something was calling him.

"Zhengnan?"

Li Zhi looked in the direction of Qifeng with a gloomy look in his eyes.
