Chapter 393 Sea Tribe Issues
Liu Qingyun's sea hunting course is very special. There are two sessions in total, one at the beginning of the month and one in the middle of the month.
There will be two tests. The first course has ended, and the questions for the first test have been assigned. The time for the examination will be in the middle of the month.
For half a month, Wu Yan stayed indoors. In addition to practicing every day, he carefully studied the course records in the lecture hall. At the same time, he went to the dormitory to borrow a lot of classic examples of fighting with the sea tribe and analyzed them back for research.
In this half month, he practiced the first two words of the Acalanatha Mantra. This made Wu Yan full of confidence in his understanding.
The day before the second class, Wu Yan put aside all the classics, meditated for half a day, sorted out all the sea tribe information in his mind, and began to prepare to complete the test questions assigned by Liu Qingyun.
Wu Yan knew that his purpose of participating in the sea hunting war was very clear, to get the first place.
If he wanted to get the first place legitimately, then the results of the four tests before the sea hunting war must be eye-catching, and even all of them must reach the first place.
For this reason, in addition to his normal daily practice, Wu Yan put all his energy into analyzing the assessment content.
Liu Qingyun's course clearly introduced that for tens of thousands of years, the sea clan has been continuously multiplying and developing, and now has become a very stable three tribes and twelve branches.
The sea monster clan and the sea demon clan, among the three major tribes, were originally from the Xumi Sea human cultivators who went to explore the Demon Sea and suffered from the invasion of demon aura. Some cultivators were transformed into sea monsters with demon aura and demon scales. The biggest feature of the sea monster clan is that its demon aura is particularly strong, which can be more than twice as strong as that of human cultivators of the same realm. Moreover, the sea monster clan is proficient in demon arts, especially illusions. As long as you are within the coverage of its demon aura, you may be affected by this illusion. Moreover, the closer you are to the sea monster clan, the more powerful this illusion is.
It is rumored that no matter how powerful a human cultivator is, as long as he comes into close contact with the Siren Clan, there is a 90% chance that he will become a Siren's slave and will never be free again.
In the past, the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance used to deal with such Siren Clan by trying every possible means to prevent the Siren Clan from getting close, and once discovered, they would kill it from a distance. For this reason, the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance even studied many strategies and developed several magical instruments and even magic treasures with different powers that can detect the Siren's breath.
However, the Siren Clan is best at hiding its breath and changing its appearance, and the role that these magical instruments and magic treasures can play is also very limited.
In the previous sea hunting wars, many cultivators did not die in the invasion of sea beasts, but died at the hands of the Siren Clan. There are countless such examples.
The origin of the Sea Demon Clan is the same as that of the Siren Clan, but they were attacked by the demonic energy more severely at the beginning, and eventually transformed into the body of the Sea Demon. These sea demons have thick skin and flesh, and their outer skin has been transformed into very thick special scales, which makes their defense almost invincible. Ordinary spells or magic weapon attacks cannot cause any harm to them at all. They are not good at spell attacks, but they are extremely powerful. The magical powers they know and like are mostly magical powers of the power system. They like to attack their opponents with different monsters condensed from magic energy and growing on their bodies, such as magic bone thorns, magic scales, etc.
The sea demons are violent and bloodthirsty. Once they fight with the enemy, they like to eat the enemy's flesh and blood alive. In the eyes of the Xumi Sea monks, they are even more terrifying and fearful than the sirens.
The only way to kill them is not to cut off their heads, but to destroy the sea demon heart in their bodies. The sea demon heart of the sea demon is very special. It looks like a human heart, but it is a solidified crystal core, similar to the magic core of the sea demon beast. As long as the sea demon's heart is not destroyed, even if you chop off his head and cut off his limbs, he can still grow again with the special magical power of the sea demon's heart.
The sea demon's defense is too difficult to break, so if you want to destroy its sea demon's heart, you can only fight in close combat, relying on the sharpness of special magic weapons, cut open its skin and scales, break into its heart, and destroy its sea demon's heart. But doing so is harder than ascending to the sky.
The sea demons are proficient in the magical power of the power system, and they are invincible in close combat. Even human monks who have mastered the body refining technique may not be able to compete with them. What's more, ordinary monks rarely practice body refining techniques. Although their physical bodies are stronger than ordinary people, they are extremely fragile compared to demons.
Fighting in close combat with the sea demons, isn't that just sending yourself to be the food of the sea demons?
As for the Sea Spirits, they were originally the water tribes that were conquered by the Siren and Sea Demons. After merging and intermarrying with the two major tribes, they gave birth to many mutated offspring. These new tribes formed by the combination of the two sea demon tribes and the water tribe became the Sea Spirits. They later became independent and formed an independent new sea tribe. They have the dual characteristics of Siren or Sea Demon and Water Tribe, which makes them more difficult to deal with.
The Water Tribe is originally a powerful existence in the underwater world, and it also has the bloodline of Siren or Sea Demon. Although it is a mixed bloodline, its mutated abilities are even more bizarre than Siren or Sea Demon, and it is really hard to defend against.
However, for some reason, after the Sea Spirits became independent, they rarely attacked the sea boundary and the human islands. Their energy was mainly focused on finding and seizing the Dragon Palace left by the Abyss Dragon King Long Tengtian in the Abyss Sea. The Siren and Sea Demon Tribe also turned a blind eye to this and did not force it too much.
It is said that the leaders of these three tribes are all king-like. The human race and the sea race have been fighting for thousands of years, and the kings of the three tribes have only appeared once in the human sea area.
That appearance attracted several top-level predecessors in the God Transformation Stage in Xumi Sea to appear. As for whether the two sides fought, no one knows except the parties involved.
However, since then, the Sea Monster King, the Sea Demon King and the Sea Spirit King have never appeared again, and the human race’s God Transformation Stage ancestor has also not appeared again. But the fight between the two sides has not stopped.
It’s just that the highest realm of the human cultivators and the sea clan masters in this fight is only the late Nascent Soul Stage and the general-level sea clan.
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the human race are mostly in command. If they don’t encounter a general-level sea clan on the battlefield, they generally won’t intervene.
In addition to these three powerful tribes, there are twelve tribes in the sea clan. These twelve tribes are said to be the descendants of the twelve major water tribes under the jurisdiction of the Abyss Dragon King.
After the Abyss Dragon King Long Tengtian ascended, the Dragon Tribe declined rapidly and was captured by the Sea Tribe. The Dragon Tribe descendants of Long Tengtian were massacred by the Sea Tribe, some died, some escaped, and eventually never appeared in the Demon Sea again. The descendants of the twelve major water tribes eventually became vassals of the Sea Tribe.
However, it is said that the Dragon Tribe descendants of the Abyss Dragon King Long Tengtian were not killed, and some escaped to the Xumi Sea and hid.
Some people say that there are underwater dragon palaces rebuilt by the descendants of the Dragon Tribe in the four seas of the Xumi Sea. Some people say that the unicorn king, who has been very active in the Blood Sea recently, may be the descendant of the Dragon King of the Abyss.
But at this time, I am afraid that only the three major sects and the Hunting Sea City in the four seas may know the origin of these dragons. However, this matter has always been kept very secret by the three major sects and the Hunting Sea Alliance, and the Xumi Sect has only taken a wait-and-see attitude and has not interfered too much.
The strongest of the twelve major water tribes today is only a water general-level water tribe, and there is not even a commander-level water tribe. Back then, when the Abyss Dragon King was there, all the twelve major water tribes had king-level leaders.
If it weren't for the fact that when the Abyss Dragon King ascended, the kings of the twelve major water tribes also ascended to the upper realm with him, the dragon tribe would not have declined.
These twelve branches are the largest in number, but the weakest in strength. They have always been used as cannon fodder by the three major sea tribes. It's not difficult to deal with them.
According to Wu Yan's understanding of the question raised by Liu Qingyun, what he wanted to ask most was, of course, a core issue that has troubled the four major sects and the Sea Hunting Alliance for thousands of years, how to solve or even end this fight between the human race and the sea race.
Even if the human race really finds the weakness of the sea race and defeats them, they will never be able to counterattack and completely wipe out the sea race. Because the human cultivators simply don't have this strength, not to mention that the sea clan still has a way out. If they can't win, they can just withdraw from the Demon Sea and return to the Abyss Sea.
As the last sea hunting lecturer of this round, if Liu Qingyun can't find a better way to deal with the sea clan, then in the next round of sea hunting war, he may be forced to resign from the position of deputy city lord and sea hunting lecturer, and be replaced by other high-level cultivators from other families who are proficient in sea hunting.
As a representative of the Liu family, Liu Qingyun certainly doesn't want to lose this position that is extremely beneficial to the development of the family. Of course, he also wants to perform well in this sea hunting war, so that the Liu family can gain greater benefits.
But what puzzled Wu Yan was that his courses were indeed very ordinary. With such ordinary courses, how could he find a way to deal with the sea clan?
Did he pin his hopes on these thirty genius cultivators? Maybe it's possible. After all, the ranking of the assessment is very important. No one would want to cheat and pass it. If so, it would be a waste of money to lose the qualification to fight in the open sea.
Wu Yan pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a plan in his mind. He picked up a blank jade slip with one hand and a special golden talisman pen with the other hand, and carefully recorded his answer to the question into the jade slip.
After a few moments, Wu Yan's brows relaxed slightly, and he scanned the contents recorded on the jade slip with his spiritual sense for the last time, and then he put away the jade slip and the talisman pen with satisfaction. After a slight hesitation, Wu Yan suddenly shook his hand, and a green light spot the size of a fingernail appeared in his hand.
Wu Yan looked at the green light spot in his hand, muttered something, and suddenly touched the green light spot. The light spot shrank and changed, and turned into two green text symbols "Wu Yan", which were pressed into the place where the jade slip was signed. After doing all this, Wu Yan put away the jade slip, smiled mysteriously, sat cross-legged in meditation, and practiced the Acalanatha mantra again.
It was also urgent to get rid of the blood evil that was bothering him as soon as possible, and Wu Yan did not dare to take it lightly.
