Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 162 Divine Speed

"This is a... warship?" Chu Liuxiang was very surprised. Although he shouldn't be surprised by what kind of ship the pirate king Shi Tianwang, who had roamed the seven seas, possessed, the huge warship in front of him still shocked him.

Moreover, the fact that such a large warship could be sailed to the vicinity of a river estuary without attracting the siege of the imperial navy suggests that the power behind Shi Tianwang is even more terrifying than he imagined.

People like Shi Tianwang have already stepped into the imperial court with one foot in the door, making them quite different from ordinary martial arts figures.

The level of martial arts skill is no longer the sole criterion for measuring strength.

The warships had already broken through the waves and were actively approaching the small boat that Chu Liuxiang was currently riding in.

From afar, you could see figures rushing about on the deck, forming neat rows and rows.

The ship was adorned with bright flags and displayed a disciplined and impressive military bearing, clearly indicating that each member was a seasoned and battle-hardened seaman.

The only strange thing was that none of these soldiers were men.

Fishing boats and merchant ships near the estuary have all disappeared, and there isn't even a soul to be seen on the riverbank.

The two ships drew close together, and Chu Liuxiang's small boat looked as tiny as a toy compared to the massive warship.

A rope ladder was lowered from the warship. Instead of relying on his superior lightness skill to fly up in one step, Chu Liuxiang climbed the rope ladder step by step.

As soon as his eyes peeked out from the deck, he saw pairs of legs that had been tanned to a bronze color.

Heels pressed close together, legs standing side by side, with almost no gap between them.

Every pair of legs was so strong and beautiful; Chu Liuxiang had never seen so many women's legs in his entire life.

Above her firm, curvaceous calves were rounded thighs, and above that was a battle skirt that shimmered with silver light.

The battle skirts were short and open to allow their legs more freedom of movement during combat.

Chu Liuxiang didn't look up anymore, because he didn't want others to see him fall into the sea.

The warships began to start.

Chu Liuxiang knew that Bai Yunsheng, who had disappeared, must have gone to capture Princess Yujian.

But he was powerless to do anything about it for the time being, because at that moment, those dangerous female warriors had at least a hundred crossbows aimed at him, and if he made the slightest move, these female warriors would not hesitate to shoot him into a sieve.

As his gaze shifted, Chu Liuxiang realized that the only man on the ship was a woman, who was also the one steering the ship and operating the sails.

No one paid him any attention, only issuing warnings and remaining on guard in secret, as if he were not the Chu Xiangshuai who was popular in the martial arts world and whom many women dreamed of meeting.

Chu Xiangshuai, who once rode a horse and leaned against a slanting bridge, surrounded by beauties in red sleeves, became like a useless piece of trash once he got on this boat. These women, however, seemed to be blind to his charm, completely unmoved by his allure.

Chu Liuxiang simply put aside his distracting thoughts and began to tour the place.

Many people only noticed his carefree and nonchalant attitude, but unknowingly, he had already made preparations for anything that might happen.

Rumor has it that he doesn't like to make things difficult for women, and this rumor is true.

But if you think that a group of female warriors can act as a high wall to restrain him, then you are underestimating Chu Liuxiang.

······
Led by Yuan Suiyun, the black ship carrying Cha Nan and the others was less than eighty nautical miles from Tianwang Island.

Although the sea was calm, the four people on board knew that a challenge was about to begin.

Every step from here on is fraught with danger, with the risk of the boat capsizing and people dying at any moment.

However, none of the four suggested turning back; instead, they were full of ambition and eager for more.

According to Yuan Suiyun, the God of Wealth changed the original patrol and construction mode of the pirates on Tianwang Island. Instead of arranging fleets to patrol only 20 to 30 nautical miles outside Tianwang Island and deploying a large number of sentries on various landing shoals, the patrol range was expanded to 50 nautical miles. At the same time, the pirates were divided into three groups to conduct military rehearsals in the waters near Tianwang Island. This would not only enhance their combat effectiveness through training, but also achieve a cross-defense effect.

Of course, the team that wins each rehearsal receives extremely generous rewards, including wealth, beautiful women, and even superior martial arts skills. This is why the pirates are willing to train so hard.

Liang Xiao and the shark boy were secretly released by Cha Nan again.

Their mission was twofold: to investigate the previous situation and, if they did not encounter any major difficulties, to go into hiding and be ready to support Cha Nan and his group at any time.

After making arrangements for Liang Xiao, Cha Nan returned to the cabin and re-entered the world of mythical beasts.

In the world of fantasy beasts, less than 500 meters from Cha Nan's stronghold, in a low-lying valley, Shi Shugang and Fang Dongbai led a large group of Iron Fist Apes, driving and raising over a thousand Cotton Youyou here.

The large number of cotton yoyos bleated, but despite the crowd, they were not agitated, and none of them suddenly exploded, triggering a chain reaction.

The reason they were so well-behaved was that Cha Nan had asked Shi Shugang and the others to prepare enough wheat for them in advance.

The cotton-loving children, eating wheat, were at peace and had no desire to wander off in search of freedom.

As for why Cha Nan had Shi Shugang and the others gather so many Mian Youyou in one place? It's simply because searching for each Mian Youyou individually, then taming and checking their entries, would be far too slow!

It's better to gather them together first and then subdue them all at once; that's more efficient and effective.

Cha Nan needs to make full use of the time he is not supervising in the fantasy world, and try to make every minute productive.

Cha Nan refused to believe that this wouldn't be enough to get the most crucial "speed" attribute needed for the early stages of the Cloud Sea Deer.

If he possesses a Cloud Sea Deer with three speed attributes, then the power of Wind and Cloud Divine Leg will be exceptionally strong with the added bonus of the three speed attributes.

At that time, he came and went freely, and he had the confidence to handle any situation with ease.

Naturally, the low-level Paluka used to subdue Cotton was also prepared in advance.

There are more than two thousand of them, enough to meet our needs.

Then, Cha Nan transformed into a ruthless throwing machine.

Having learned the art of throwing hidden weapons, Cha Nan didn't need any enhancement items that increased aiming accuracy. Besides, with thousands of cotton bolls crowding the valley, Cha Nan could hit the target no matter how he threw.

One by one, the Cotton Sprites were tamed and then screened. Those Cotton Sprites with poor attribute values ​​would be released in another place by Cha Nan.

They will not be wasted; they serve as both food reserves and cannon fodder that can be deployed when mythical beasts attack the stronghold.

Normally, as long as some wheat is consumed to feed them, it can play a certain role in critical moments.

When Cha Nan had tamed about two hundred beasts, he got a colored affix called "Exceptional Skill," which increased work speed by 75%. This was a good affix. In the world of fantasy beasts, all the work beasts could be paired with this affix to improve their work efficiency. In the world of martial arts, this affix could also help with training.

Cotton... truly a wonderful mythical beast. Breeding can randomly generate some attributes that were not originally present in the father or mother lineage, but it's too difficult to randomly generate colored attributes, and who knows how much cake would be wasted.

Cotton Yoyo is still more cost-effective.

After all, apart from a few exclusive terms, most of the general terms can be found on Mian Youyou.

When Cha Nan reached the 500th Cotton Youyou, he found the colored entry 'Extreme Starvation'. This entry reduces the rate at which the monsters lose satiety by 20%, but its potential effect may affect the monsters' work efficiency.

It can only be said that most of the time, Cha Nan doesn't think this entry is good and deserves the status of a colored entry.

However, getting it is a gain.

You might not think you need it now, but who knows, you might find this skill to be a godsend someday.

With over a thousand cotton bolls already subdued, and most of them seemingly tamed, the "Swiftness" attribute was still nowhere to be seen. Cha Nan's initial confidence began to wane.

A Parul ball was thrown out, and Cha Nan glanced at the pop-up message.

"Hey! Got it!"

Ignoring the rest of the Cotton Yoyo, Cha Nan quickly ran back to the base, found the Cotton Yoyo, and examined it carefully.

This is a female cotton doll with two attributes: speed and healthy baby. Speed ​​is the attribute that Cha Nan wants the most, as it can increase movement speed by 30%.

With the speed boost of 30%, the speed boost of 20%, and the speed boost of 10%, these three speed attributes are enough to stack the Cloud Deer's speed to a terrifying level, building upon its original speed.

In addition, there's the 'perpetual motion machine' entry that we had already collected.

Cha Nan was already looking forward to seeing how much change his Lu Tingfeng II would bring him.

After taking out most of the cake that had been made, Cha Nan began breeding.

To improve efficiency, Cha Nan plans to first breed a Cotton Youyou with four attributes: Swiftness, Sportsman, Agility, and Perpetual Motion, and then breed it with a Cloud Sea Deer with a Huan Yue Die that has no attributes.

This choice is made because hatching a Palu egg with cottony texture takes much less time than hatching a Palu egg with cloud-sea deer texture.

Efficiency can be increased quickly.

Fortunately, the three attributes of Cotton Yoyo—athlete, agile, and perpetual motion machine—were already prepared in advance; all that's needed is to incorporate the speed attribute into the breeding process.

After five matings, a male Cotton Butterfly appeared, having collected all four entries. Cha Nan immediately found a female Illusion Butterfly with a blank background and pushed them into the mating pasture.

Wait, wait, wait!
What was originally a short time suddenly felt strangely long.

Cha Nan even found it difficult to calm down and cultivate her internal energy.

Soon, the first egg appeared and was placed in the incubator.

Then, after some time, a second egg appeared and was also placed in the incubator.

Cha Nan finally felt a little more at ease and began to cultivate her internal energy, her breathing gradually becoming steady.

The wait was long. When the incubator opened, a blue light flashed, and the first egg was hatched... Unfortunately! All three speed attributes were inherited, but the perpetual motion machine turned into a shut-in, with stamina reduced by 30%.

In other words, while riding this cloud-sea deer offers high speed, the duration is very short.

The combination of "short" and "fast" is not a good thing for a man, so Cha Nan chose to temporarily 'imprison' this Cloud Sea Deer and not give it the noble name 'Deer Thunder Wind No. 2'.

After waiting a while, the second egg was drawn.

This time, the perpetual motion machine has been inherited, but the speed attribute is missing an athlete, which still doesn't meet expectations.

Continue breeding, continue incubating the eggs, continue waiting.

Just like good things often come with difficulties, after waiting for eight eggs in a row, something was missing or something was lacking. It seemed as if the unseen forces were refusing to give Cha Nan a super-strong Cloud Sea Deer with three speeds and one endurance.

Chanan had offered his loyalty to Anubis many times, but this time Anubis did not reciprocate with good fortune.

After careful consideration, Cha Nan chose to build the 'Power Statue' in the center of the stronghold.

The Power Statue is meant to absorb found Emerald Rat statues to enhance the player's capture ability and increase the success rate of capturing Palu. However, since Chanan has not been able to find an Emerald Rat statue, he has no idea about building a Power Statue.

But at this moment, he thought that the Power Statue was actually an Anubis statue, and there might be some mystical significance to it.

When the statue was erected and placed in the center of the stronghold, Cha Nan vaguely felt that the entire stronghold seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

At the same time, a Palu egg, much larger than a typical Cloud Sea Deer Palu egg, appeared in the breeding ranch.

This is a BOSS egg!
Compared to pets raised from ordinary pet eggs, pets hatched from BOSS eggs are not only larger and more imposing, but also have improved basic attributes and enhanced bonuses.

Cha Nan quickly placed the eggs into the incubator and squatted down next to it, watching over them without blinking.

Ten minutes, half an hour, an hour... three hours!
The BOSS egg seems to be more difficult to hatch.

However difficult it may be, it will eventually come to an end!

As a wave of azure light shone forth, a cloud sea deer, two heads taller than an ordinary cloud sea deer, appeared before Cha Nan. It was more majestic and powerful, with more prominent and imposing antlers.

As soon as it was born, it let out a loud deer cry, and the cloud sea deer 'grazing' around the stronghold all lowered their heads and then lay down on the ground.

The Deer King has been born!
Even without looking at the entry, Cha Nan could sense that this was the deer he had been waiting for.

When he actually looked up the entry, his emotions were immediately stirred.

Three speed-related terms and one perpetual motion machine-like term that enhances endurance were all prominently listed.

Cha Nan released Lu Tingfeng No. 1 and retrieved it into the beast space of the stronghold. Then, he immediately put the newborn deer king, the real Lu Tingfeng, into the team slot.

Then, he mounted the back of the newborn Deer Thunderwind, squeezed his legs slightly, and Deer Thunderwind II leaped into the air, gliding gracefully and for a long distance in mid-air. With a flick of its hooves, the mountains, rivers and everything below were swept past like points of light.

This is as if it's chasing after time, exceeding the ordinary.

Its strong endurance allows the Lutingfeng II to maintain this high-speed state for a relatively long period of time.
