Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 187 Blood Chi Devouring Pill, Prey Transformed into Hunter

"you…"

"Stop talking, let's go!"

Qi Tianyu realized that the cooperation was over and the Qi family could no longer drive this group of people to work for them, so he could only take the twelve boats of Guanlan Fairy City and chase out alone.

The gap in strength between the second-level peak monster and the Cold Pond Giant Seal is quite large. They have a chance to recover the monster pill, and maybe they can get another second-level peak ice crystal dragon.
It would be even better if they could capture it alive and bring it back to tame it. Maybe the Qi family could even cultivate a real Chilong in the future, which would be really impressive.

"The battle over there is over~"

"Oh? What's going on?"

Although the Lin family fleet was far away, it was also secretly following the battle situation. After all, once the Ice Abyss Lord was killed, it meant that all the ships in the large fleet would participate in the competition to hunt the Water Spirit Guards.

The number of water spirit guards is not infinite. The secret realm is only so big, and there are only so many accumulated in two hundred years. Once there are too many people and too little food, it means that everyone needs to evacuate.

Everyone is not willing to harvest all the seedlings in this well-developed shared secret place. Instead, they need to tacitly maintain the ecology of this place to a certain extent and consider the future generations two hundred years later.

"The big guy's aura has disappeared~"

Silver Scale was naturally sensitive and had previously been very afraid of an unknown creature under the water. But now that unknown fear suddenly disappeared, meaning that the Lord of the Ice Abyss had been destroyed.

"It seems that the journey to the secret realm is about to end."

The Linglong Secret Realm usually lasts about half a month. From the time the Dong family discovered the Water Curtain Cave Heaven, to the time they entered the secret realm together, to today, it has been less than ten days. You don't have to wait until the last day. As long as you are satisfied with your gains, you can leave. Every day there is a large upwelling current leading to the Water Curtain Cave Heaven.

Deep in the icy abyss of still water,

In the eyes of the cold pond, whose spiritual vein level reached the limit of the second level,

The Ice Crystal Chilong, which had been lying in ambush for a long time and finally obtained the Cold Pond Giant Demon Pill, looked at this treasure with curiosity. It had a strong premonition that as long as it ate this demon pill, it would be able to break through to the third level and become a demon king. There was even a possibility that it would grow dragon horns and claws and turn into a dragon.

But it suddenly had another bad premonition in its mind, that is, once it ate this thing, it would lose a lot of things. The two opposite premonitions clashed fiercely, making its originally happy mood become impetuous and its eyes hesitant.

Ang~
Although the monsters living alone in the wild have developed intelligence, they have not received the kind of systematic knowledge training that humans have, nor have they interacted with many intelligent creatures. They cannot understand certain profound things, and it is difficult for them to sort out overly complex logical circuits.

finally,
The desire for a higher realm, the desire to transform into a dragon, and the desire for a long life intertwined into infinite desires that devoured its reason. It chose to eat this special demon pill full of the blessing/curse of the Linglong Secret Realm in one gulp in the secret realm.

Ang~
As soon as it started refining, it felt something was wrong, but the abundant ice power and violent blood in its body could not be faked. This was its opportunity!
"The aura of the giant seal demon pill has disappeared! We have lost track of it!"

The Qi family fleet chased to the top of the Eye of the Cold Pond.

"Don't panic! That beast must have started refining it. A spiritual object of this level can't be completely refined in a day or two. It's just helping us get rid of the giant seal's spirit."

Qi Tianyu was confident.

"How should we deal with it? Judging from the intelligence it has shown previously, it will probably stay in the Eye of the Cold Pond and wait until we leave before coming out. Even if we stay in the Water Curtain Cave Heaven, we may not have a chance."

"Don't worry, let it help us refine it first. Then we can go straight to the Eye of the Frost Pond and kill it."

Qi Tianyu said something shocking.

"Is this... too risky?"

"It's just a peak-level second-level monster. It's not like I haven't killed one before. Even a dragon-type monster wouldn't matter. When my brother and I left, we each received a talisman from the Third Supreme. When the time comes, you only need to control the boats on the water to raid the formation."

"Ah? You brought all the family heritage?"

"The current situation is turbulent, and these things won't be of much value if they are kept in the warehouse. But if they can help me achieve the Golden Elixir, my Qi family can hold Guanlan Immortal City more stable and longer. I think it will be worth it even if I use a lot of talismans!"

"Brother Tianyu is right. We will definitely provide our full assistance!"

In fact, similar abnormalities have rarely occurred before. Such a smart second-level peak monster should have actively avoided entering this secret realm. The Qi family does not have exactly the same records for reference. Now they can only hope that Fu Bao will cross the river by feeling the stones.

Ang~
The Ice Crystal Chilong screamed in pain,

As it gradually refined the demon pill, the unknown chaotic power in the remaining essence of the Cold Pond Giant Seal had a more serious impact on it.

The rational side of its will gradually became blurred, replaced by negative emotions such as bloodthirstiness, violent killing, and cruel devouring, and its original excellent character was reduced to cunning.

Ang~
The Ice Crystal Chilong twisted its body in pain.

As it gradually refined the demon pill, the special energy and blood power blessed by the will of the secret realm began to gradually transform its body.
The originally snow-white scales began to turn red, and blood marks and blood threads appeared between the scales. The body of the monster that looked like a dragon and a snake began to grow huge, and even began to grow horns and a pair of front claws. This was exactly the image of a dragon that it most desired.

Now it no longer looks like an ice crystal Chilong, but more like a blood Chi, a blood Chi with the aura of a dragon.

"It's almost time, let's go!"

The continuous wailing of the Ice Crystal Chi Dragon allowed the Qi family to completely lock onto its exact location. Two members of the Qi family fleet who were in the late Foundation Establishment stage went into the water together, intending to join forces to encircle and suppress it as it was trying to break through.

In fact, the human race knew clearly that it would not be able to break through due to the incomplete rules of heaven and earth in the secret space. The Ice Crystal Chilong also suffered from the information gap and was deceived.

The Ice Abyss is very deep. The deeper you go, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy becomes. This direction is exactly the location of the Eye of the Cold Pond.

"Die, damn it!"

As soon as Qi Tianyu discovered the struggling Ice Crystal Chilong, he attacked directly. As long as he killed this monster, he could get the demon pill and even get some extra rewards.

Its originally snow-white, beautiful and well-proportioned body has transformed into a blood-red dragon with bulging muscles, and has completely lost its value for taming.

hold head high?
The Ice Crystal Chilong, which was originally experiencing infinite pain, suddenly turned around. The moment it saw the human monk, the negative emotions that had nowhere to vent in its body finally found an effective outlet.

"As long as we eat these people, we can continue to break through!"

The Ice Crystal Chilong regained some of its sanity, as if it had seen a perfect tonic.

Ice is a different kind of water. The Ice Crystal Chilong has an absolute home advantage under the Ice Abyss. Its control over ice and water surpasses Qi Tianyu, and it is also extremely good at shadow escape and sneak attacks. After the mutation, it still did not choose to confront the Qi brothers who have the advantage in numbers.

After dozens of exchanges, Qi Tianyu and the other man did not gain any advantage, and they did not even have the chance to release their talismans. Their spiritual power consumption increased, and they were at a greater disadvantage.

"This won't work, brother, we have to retreat!"

Qi Tianyu made a decisive decision. While preventing the Ice Crystal Chilong from attacking him, he also had to protect his weaker brother. His teammates, who had originally come to help, became a burden, which put Qi Tianyu under great pressure.

More importantly, this ice crystal dragon refused to come out for a head-on fight, leaving them with no place to use their talismans, so they had no choice but to retreat.

"Damn it! Are we just going to let it go like this? I'm so unwilling!"

The eldest brother is his biological brother, born of the same mother. If he can help his younger brother get this precious opportunity, he would not hesitate to die. But this beast just won't give him a chance.

"Its condition is very abnormal. It's clearly very different from when it first appeared. It must have been eroded by the will of the secret realm. I didn't expect the infection to be so extreme. I thought it would take many years to complete this process."

"What's next?"

"Perhaps it will attack again. We can only wait and counter its attack."

"What if it doesn't attack?"

“…Then you can only blame yourself for your bad luck!”

The Qi family also paid a price to obtain this opportunity, not only the opportunity cost, but also the previous promise to reimburse some losses and material consumption for other forces.
The promise has been made in public, and it is not easy to go back on it now. Others are not made of clay. If I can't get this demon pill in the end, then this trip to the secret realm will be a pure loss.

the other side,
The large fleet that had separated the body of the Cold Pond Giant Monster began to split up and continue hunting the Water Spirit Guards. The Water Spirit Pearl is also a good thing as a substitute for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If they can catch more this time, they can use it for many years.

"Too many wolves and too little meat. It's really boring. Let's prepare to leave. Maybe we can go to Linglong Mist Sea again and try our luck."

The Quiet Water Ice Abyss is only this big. After the large fleet joins, dozens of ships can sweep it like a net, and the price of gaining something is that the density of the water spirit guards has been significantly reduced, and now they need to be easier to find.

“Help…Help…Help…”

A cry for help suddenly came from the public communication channel.

"Huh? What's going on? Who's calling for help?"

The distress signal was not very strong, and it even gave people the illusion that they had misheard it, but the spiritual sense of the foundation-building cultivator was rarely wrong, and he immediately confirmed the source of the message.

"It's the Shengda!"

"Shengda Shengda, are you still there? Please reply if you get it!"

Although everyone is a competitor, they are not so cold-blooded after the core interest conflict is over. Moreover, unknown dangers can bring infinite fear. No one can feel at ease until they understand what happened to the Shengda.

"Fellow Daoists who participated in the encirclement and suppression, what is the current situation? Haven't you already succeeded in the encirclement and suppression?"

"It's confirmed that the Ice Abyss Lord is dead! But a peak-level second-order Ice Crystal Chilong sneaked into the Ice Abyss and stole the Great Demon Pill. I suspect it was the one responsible for the Shengda."

"What? You didn't even tell us such important information? What are you thinking? Are you deliberately trying to harm us?"

The others were shocked when they heard that there was such a dangerous potential enemy, and they had not received any notification.

"Fellow Daoist from the Qi family chased after it right away. With the strength of the Qi family, hunting down a peak-level second-order demon beast shouldn't be a problem. What happened after that is unclear."

"Friend Qi, shouldn't you explain yourself?"

"How do we calculate the damage to the Shengda?"

The captain of the Shengda escaped death and hid on another ship, but the Shengda and dozens of core crew members were lost and seriously injured. All this was just because the Qi family did not share the information, and he was still unaware of it in the corner of Bingyuan to surround the lone Shuiling guard.

"Oh? Didn't I trap the Ice Crystal Chilong inside the Eye of the Cold Pond? When did it escape? I don't know."

The Qi family pretended to be unaware of the situation. After all, the Qi family's ships were medium to large and not easily attacked by surprise. They could just be killed without anyone knowing.

"you…"

"I just confirmed it again, and it seems that it has indeed sneaked away. In this case, Ting Tao Hao solemnly reminds all fellow Taoists to be careful! Lest you be ambushed by it!"

"A friendly reminder: something's not right with it. Its strength may have surpassed the conventional peak of the second rank. It's possible it has become another new Ice Abyss Lord."

The Qi family's attitude was completely different from the humble and friendly one when they invited everyone to help chase the Ice Crystal Chilong.

"Are they deliberately using us as bait?"

Some small boat captains thought to themselves that they had witnessed the dangers of the Qi family.

"And why did it attack the demon-hunting ship?"

"It might be related to the Frost Pond Giant Seal's demon pill. It's the same reason why the Frost Pond Giant Seal keeps attacking us. It has its own destiny, and it can't resist."

"Ah? There are such serious side effects? Then why does everyone want to get that demon pill?"

"It would be fine if we took it out of the secret realm and dealt with it, but that wild Ice Crystal Chilong obviously doesn't understand these things."

"I see!"

Some newly emerged Jindan forces with shallow backgrounds knew nothing and could only follow carefully, recording in detail what they saw and heard along the way, and even the content of the conversations. These things would become their family inheritance for future generations to refer to.

Suspecting that it would attack again, the small monster-hunting ships no longer dared to act alone, and basically chose to operate in formations of two or three ships. After all, the Ice Crystal Chilong was not as dangerous as the Cold Pond Giant Seal, so this should be enough.

Sure enough, it attacked again not long after.

Surprisingly, its target this time was a lone medium-sized ship, and it succeeded. The captain of the ship was hunting a water spirit guard and was dragged into the water by it due to his carelessness.

"How can this be?"

The other captains who learned the information found it incredible!

The hunting instinct of monsters often makes them choose the old, weak, sick and disabled prey that are easy to catch, but this ice crystal dragon actually gave up attacking small ships and went straight for medium-sized ships, which meant that other medium-sized ships were no longer safe.

"The Ice Crystal Chilong's magical abilities are considered superior among second-tier monsters. Furthermore, it's also very adept at shadow evasion. The protective formations of ordinary medium-sized ships really can't stop it. Everyone should be mentally prepared."

The Dark Sea is rich in various kinds of dragon-like monsters, and the nearby Jindan forces often conduct research on them, so it is obvious that someone understands it.
