Chapter 138: The Siren Islands, the Siren Tribe’s Delicacy, the Human Tribe’s Three Cries
In the quiet room.
Saitama quickly took off the wooden hairpin tied on his bun, and with a slight movement of his little hand, the poisonous insect as small as dust flew out of the hairpin.
Then, it flew out through the gap of the window.
These poisonous insects were as small as dust, and they were very inconspicuous even in the perception of divine thoughts.
After just a few breaths, the turbulence on the spirit ship calmed down, and the spiritual light restrictions that were shaking everywhere also calmed down again.
The flying poisonous insects were also absorbed by the dust floating in the space.
When the already weak breath merged with the dust, it was "petrified".
Let the wind blow and roll, and floated into some boxes.
"Fake death?"
Shen Lian's divine thoughts captured it for a while and then withdrew. He found that after the insects combined with the dust, the weak spiritual light also dissipated, just like dead.
It's really a good reconnaissance weapon.
After Saitama released the insects, there was no other action, and the insects did not enter the box of the six of them.
If he didn't bother him, Shen Lian wouldn't have the time to bother with others.
Who said this girl with a childlike face and a huge body doesn't make poison and play with insects?
The more well-behaved she is, the more fun she has.
The insects she plays with are all different from others.
When the restrictions of the spirit ship were messed up just now, Shen Lian also scanned the entire spirit ship with his divine sense.
There are nearly 160 cultivators on the entire spirit ship.
There are 40 cultivators belonging to the spirit ship, and 11 of the remaining 120 are Qi training cultivators.
This spirit ship treats everyone equally in terms of tickets, but there is no such thing as Qi training and foundation building.
The ticket price for 120 people alone exceeds a million spirit stones.
Don't think that a million spirit stones are a lot of tickets, but the spirit ship also consumes spirit stones when flying, and at least one-third of the spirit stones will be consumed as energy.
We also have to pray that we don't encounter any danger, otherwise after this trip, repairing the spirit ship and providing relief to the dead may even lose money.
Of course, if they were losing money every time, the several major sects behind them would have quit long ago. Now they still control the route, so they can only say that they are making some money.
…
One month after the spirit ship set sail, the stable spirit ship began to sway again, and the amplitude of the sway became larger and larger.
The divine mind sensed outside, and the sea was surging, and the heavy rain fell on the sea like a curtain of heaven.
In the rain, white light flashed with energy of varying pressure, falling from the sky.
It has been shaking like this for two days, and the sky outside has become more violent, and there are continuous roars.
"Fellow Taoists, please stop practicing for the time being. The spirit ship has been traveling in the sky phenomenon "Sudden Rain Curtain" for five days. The core of the sudden rain is ahead, and it needs to break the rain for a short time."
The voice sounded on the spirit ship, and the monks who closed their eyes to practice woke up one after another.
"Boom!"
The spiritual light lit up on the shaking spirit ship, and a series of water-blue lights gathered above the spirit ship, forming an extremely tall water-colored light column.
When the energy of the light column gathered to the peak, it crashed down into the rainstorm ahead.
The hundreds of feet long light column crashed down like a pillar that tilted the sky, smashing a passage in the rainstorm like the sky, rolling up endless wind and waves.
The runes on both sides of the spirit ship lit up, and four pairs of huge black wings grew out, gathering the rainwater under the wings, dragging the spirit ship into the passage, and passing through hundreds of miles of void in one fell swoop.
In the quiet room, feeling that the shaking of the spirit ship had weakened a lot, Shen Lian's mind was slowly retracted.
No wonder the cultivators said that crossing the open sea was very dangerous. They had not walked far before encountering the sea phenomenon.
For the cultivators, violent storms were nothing, but the rainstorm contained spiritual energy.
In the overwhelming rainstorm, white light flashed, and water swords and water knives clanged and hit the hull of the ship, like beating drums.
It rained knives from the sky, do you think it's a pit or not?
Even if they use spiritual power to resist, how long can they resist?
After passing through the core area of the celestial rainstorm, the wings that the spirit ship grew disappeared again, and the speed returned to the original state.
The wings are fast, but they also consume spiritual stones. The owners behind the spirit ships are all wealthy and powerful. They earn a lot of spiritual stones and spend a lot of them. They should save as much as possible.
Spirit ship attic.
"Report to the real person, the edge of the celestial phenomenon 'Sudden Rain Sky Curtain' is a hundred miles ahead."
A cultivator of the ninth level of foundation building entered the attic.
Kun Yuan Zhenren, who was resting with her eyes closed, did not even raise her eyelids. She was not worried about the celestial phenomena.
No matter how powerful the celestial phenomena are, the worst thing is to let the spirit ship retreat.
The voyage time of the long-distance spirit ship is not fixed. It can be one year or two years.
What they are really worried about are the sea monsters and the sea people.
In the past, the sea people surrounded the Wanxing Sea and kept the human cultivators in the sea area in captivity, but these alien races were ambitious and left a lot of trouble when they retreated.
Perhaps to disgust the human race, or perhaps to retreat unwillingly, these things left a demon tribe in the outer sea of Wanxing.
With the secret support of the sea race, and after years of development, this remaining demon tribe has developed into a powerful force.
With more than ten third-level demon kings sitting in charge, a large number of demon tribes gathered under their command, and their strength is comparable to the top Jindan sect.
The top Jindan sect is nothing, after all, there is the Yuanying sect Yunshang Sect in the South Sea, but the demon tribe of the Sea Monster Islands is connected with the Wanyao Domain of the Tiannan Xiuxian Realm.
This has created a very embarrassing phenomenon. The demon tribe of the Sea Monster Islands can be killed, but they cannot be really killed.
The Yunshang Sect did not dare to take this risk.
"Continue to investigate, be careful of the sea monsters lurking in the sea."
Kun Yuan Zhenren gave an order. As a sect Zhenren, if she could not get rid of it, she really did not want to take the job of sitting in the spirit ship.
There are three major branches of demon tribes on the Sea Monster Islands, all of which are in charge of demon kings comparable to the late Jindan and Jindan Great Perfection. Among them, there is a black water red snake tribe, which is extremely hostile to the human race and has a large number of snake monsters under its command.
Over the years, the black water red snake tribe has attacked the spirit ships the most.
In addition to the demon tribe, there are also hidden sea tribes. They may launch a sudden attack at any time, which is more difficult to defend than the demon tribe.
...
In the quiet room.
Shen Lian took out the route map he bought when he boarded the ship before. This route map is very different from the route map in the Wanxing Inner Sea.
In the route map of the outer sea, there is more than one route marked. After setting off from the Cape Fairy City, there are more than a dozen forks, and these forks will branch out into different numbers as they go further.
That is to say, once the spirit ship sets sail, it will change its route direction at any time according to the situation encountered during the journey.
Don’t look at the many forks in the route, but experience has been gained over the years.
In the overall direction, a total of six routes have been derived. Even if the spirit ship deviates, it will sail along one of the six routes.
After looking at the route map for a while, Shen Lian shook his head and put it away. Compared with the routes in the inner sea, the routes in the outer sea are too chaotic.
The inland sea route has a certain number of islands to stop at and how many days to stop, but the outer sea is not the same. Except for the islands that will be stopped after approaching the South China Sea, it will not stop all the way.
"Siren Islands."
In the route map, Shen Lian paid most attention to the gathering place of the Wanhai Siren Clan.
It's not that there are no islands in the Wanxing Sea. Not only are there islands, but the way these islands exist is also very unfavorable to the human race.
The islands in the Wanxing Inner Sea are scattered all over the place, just like the stars in the sky, scattered in the sea in disorder.
But the islands in the outer sea are not like that. The islands in the outer sea have been repaired by astronomical phenomena and the natural world.
After the repair, the islands in the Wanxing Sea are generally in the state of an island chain, running east-west and stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.
It's a coincidence that it just happens to be between the South China Sea and the Wanxing Sea, like a fortification stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.
And this island chain stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles is the Siren Islands, which is occupied from west to east by the three most powerful demon tribes, plus countless large and small demon tribes.
Every time the spirit ship passes through, it has to cross this Siren island chain. Fortunately, the widest part of the island chain from north to south is only ten thousand miles.
Every time the spirit ship finds a strait where the demon tribe is weak, it passes through.
Along the way, the spirit ship passed through, and the monks in the quiet room of the box also came out to take a walk, and Shen Lian did not go out either.
Just like this, more than three months later, the spirit ship passed through the storm sea twice in succession and entered a sea filled with fog.
Looking down from mid-air, the ocean below was dark.
"Dear Taoist friends, after passing through the sea fog area, you will enter the demon clan sea area."
The cold voice penetrated the cabin and entered the ears of every cultivator.
Many of the cultivators who were still silent were shocked and had no intention of practicing.
Entering the demon clan sea area means that you may encounter a demon clan attack at any time.
Small-scale ones are okay, the spirit ship can easily deal with them, but I am afraid that a third-level demon king will appear.
Just like the human race hunts the demon race to take demon pills, practice with demon blood, and refine weapons, the human race is also delicious in the mouth of the demon race.
The demon race rarely has the inheritance of alchemy, but it can swallow the whole human race as a pill.
Catch the human race and scream.
Put it in your mouth and scream.
Chew it and scream.
This is the delicacy 'Three Calls of the Human Race' that is widely circulated among the monsters.
After receiving the notice, Shen Lian clearly felt that the atmosphere on the spirit ship had become tense.
Even Lin Yixing and others who were practicing in the quiet room in his box also walked into the living room in the public area one after another.
"Daoyou Lu."
Seeing Shen Lian coming out, everyone greeted him.
"The last time I came, the spirit ship crossed the island occupied by the Green Water Spirit Turtle Clan. This monster clan likes quietness and rarely chases the human race."
Lin Yixing spoke softly, but there was no sign of relief on his face.
"The Green Water Spirit Turtle Clan doesn't like to move, but other monster clans are difficult to deal with."
"These monster clans know that there are routes coming and going, and they will conduct reconnaissance in this abyss sea fog area in advance."
...
"Chirp!"
A high-pitched cry sounded outside the spirit ship.
"Lianshui Monster Eagle!"
Everyone hurriedly gathered in front of the large window in the box and looked outside, but the fog in the sky blocked their sight and they couldn't see the situation outside clearly.
At this moment, not only the monks in their box were alert, but all the monks on the entire spirit ship were alert.
Several of the foundation-building monks stationed on the spirit ship flew to the bow and took out a whistle-like magic weapon from the storage magic weapon.
"Woo woo woo..."
The whistle magic weapon, driven by spiritual power, made a humming sound, which continued to spread in all directions.
"This is an owl spirit whistle. After being activated, it can emit the low cry of a giant bone demon owl. This kind of demon beast is a great enemy of the Lianshui demon eagle and can disperse the Lianshui demon eagle wandering nearby."
The sound of the owl spirit whistle has not stopped yet, and another monk on the spirit ship took out a bull-head drum.
This drum made a mooing sound under the beating of spiritual power, and then transmitted the sound into the mist through a copper-cast magic tool similar to an amplifier.
"This is to attract the ghost-patterned demon whale. This demon whale is huge and hunts many creatures in the ocean for food."
Shen Lian's mind fell towards the abyss and the ocean below, and soon he really sensed the waves emerging from the water.
A black shadow of more than 30 feet emerged from the water, and two small eyes looked around.
As the sound of "mooing" sounded, two giant whales were really attracted, and when the giant whales came over, the bull-headed drum on the spirit ship was put away.
The spiritual light on the spirit ship flashed and quickly broke through the fog, leaving the giant whale far behind, leaving two giant whales tit-for-tat.
The owl spirit whistle and the bull-headed drum, two inconspicuous magic tools, have a good effect.
The cry of Lianshui Demon Eagle disappeared in the mist along with the cry of the owl.
The demon race has low intelligence. Even for the second-level demon beasts, most of them are about the same as human children. Most of the time, they still rely on instinct to control their activities.
But there are too many demons on the Siren Islands. There are always some with extraordinary intelligence. When encountering such elite demons, these magic tools that fool the weak-minded demons are not very useful.
There are demons outside, and everyone gathered in the living room, and naturally there were more exchanges.
Shen Lian also captured the words of other monks in the nearby boxes through the people in the same box, which made him confirm one thing again.
That is, every time the spirit ship goes back and forth, it will encounter demons chasing and attacking. The difference is whether there are many demons chasing, whether they are strong, whether they catch up or not, and whether the fight is fierce.
It is not because he is on this spirit ship that he will encounter demons.
It is not because he is on this spirit ship that he will encounter sea people.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian felt relieved.
His mind then fell on fellow Daoist Saitama beside him. This little female cultivator seemed innocent, but she was rubbing her fingers secretly.
On the surface, it looked like she was rubbing her fingers nervously, but he felt that she was excited, as if she was looking forward to something.
Excited about what?
Looking forward to what?
Monster attack?
…
The spirit ship traveled through the fog for three days, and no restrictions were activated during the journey, but Shen Lian sensed that the core position of the spirit ship was accumulating energy, like a volcano suppressing an eruption.
The real danger is still behind, not only from crossing the monster island chain, but also from the possible appearance of sea cultivators.
On the attic at the highest point of the spirit ship, a cultivator quickly came to Kunyuan Zhenren.
"Elder, we are about to leave the foggy sea area."
