Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 486 Fisherman
The splashes of water dissipated, and Qin Huai was riding on top of the giant whale. The dragon claws of his shield scales penetrated into the thick and tough whale skin and hooked it tightly. The Canglan waves, filled with the power of Grain in Ear and Frost, gathered into two dragons of water and fire, which spread from his claws to the giant whale's back, tightly clamping the sea-swallowing whale like a net.

Roar!
The sea-swallowing whale roared to the sky, and its fresh wounds that had not yet healed broke apart inch by inch. Qin Huai raised his heavy fist, and his ferocious and sharp dragon claws were put on the huge thorn hammer transformed from [Kunlun]. His whole body was flashing with a clear light of glass. The originally tightly entangled water and fire dragons gradually turned into an icy blue color. The frost on the blue waves was like a cold rope of the Green Lady, and the cracked frost white color spread out, freezing the giant whale under him and a large piece of sea surface together, forming a large piece of hard ice.

boom! boom! boom!
The heavy punch of the colored glaze, which carried a tremendous force, kept hitting the thick-skinned and tough sea-swallowing whale. The more he struggled, the heavier Qin Huai's punch became.

With the help of the colored glaze dragon body amplified by [Kunlun], Qin Huai fully displayed the supreme power of [Treading the Sea to Calm the Flood], and beat the Sea-Swallowing Whale until it was bleeding from its mouth and nose. After the victory was decided, Qin Huai grabbed its dorsal fin and shouted, "Tunhai, do you obey?"

Unexpectedly, the giant sea-swallowing whale turned a deaf ear to it. Although it didn't have much strength to struggle anymore, it still kept its snout tightly closed, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. It was obvious that it had no intention of giving up the young divine turtle in its belly.

Seeing that the giant whale with human nature under him was trying to take advantage of his fear of harm, Qin Huai snorted coldly, and the Frost Canglan under his dragon claws immediately turned from blue and white to a violent red. Suddenly, the sound of burning flesh was heard. Under the alternation of cold and heat, even the toughest and most invulnerable flesh became fragile. An unknown evil wind blew up, carrying countless sand and gravel that surrounded the alien giant whale that still wanted to resist.

[Magic Power Seed: Flying Sand and Rocks]!
[Nine Heavens Strong Wind] was like a steel knife scraping bones, constantly washing away the flesh, blood and soul of the giant sea-devouring whale, gradually eroding the extraordinary characteristics contained in its strong body and soul. [Furious Hot Sand Rain] penetrated into its thick skin, stirring like saw teeth, leaving behind crisscrossing, bumpy wounds.

The sea-devouring whale felt the pain and started struggling again, but unfortunately it was no longer as ferocious as it was at the beginning. The wind and sand on its body were getting stronger and stronger and wrapping around it tighter and tighter. In just a short while, half a foot of its flesh and thick skin had been worn away. The whole whale looked like a large mass of skinless bloody meat, which was extremely terrifying.

Looking at the giant sea-devouring whale whose hundred years of cultivation had been slashed in the status bar, Qin Huai had a flash of thought in his mind, and the [Samadhi Divine Wind] mixed with wind and sand suddenly stagnated.

"Tun Hai, if you don't surrender, I don't mind cutting off your skills and then cutting open your belly to take the egg!"

Upon hearing that Qin Huai was going to take away the spiritual power he had accumulated after practicing for ten thousand years, the Sea-Swallowing Whale immediately became anxious and wanted to struggle, but he could not bear the pain brought by the [Samadhi Divine Wind], so he could only wail twice, open his mouth, and spit out six giant eggs.

Seeing that Tunhai had surrendered, Qin Huai did not care about its previous act of defection. With a wave of his hand, the [Samadhi Divine Wind] that was tightly wrapped around the giant whale dissipated, returned to the Niwan Palace from the center of the eyebrows, and suppressed its power.

The many features brought by the manifestation of the glazed dragon body disappeared one by one. Qin Huai opened the entrance of [Chaoyang Valley]. A large ball of rich white spring water gathered from the sea water, wrapped in some golden-red fire essence, tempting the giant sea-devouring whale that was seriously injured at this time.

Ang~
Since he had already surrendered and acknowledged his master, Tunhai, who was already thick-skinned, did not hesitate at all and immediately crashed into the Qiquan waters. The white spring essence mixed with golden, red and fiery essence was like nectar, evenly sinking into the bloody wounds on his body. The lost tissues were visibly wriggling and proliferating, and even his spirit improved a lot.

"You have completely subdued the top alien species: the Sea Devouring Whale!"

You have obtained relevant information about [Top Alien Species: Sea-Devouring Giant Whale]!

【Sea-swallowing whale】

Comprehensive evaluation: 3,300 years of practice (Seven Palaces)
The ancient giant whale whose bloodline is almost extinct was subdued by [Yunlai Diaosou] a hundred years ago and sent to the Black Reef. Together with [Pao Zhenren], he is responsible for looking after the young Shen Ao and ensuring its safe hatching.

"[Yun Lai Diaosou]? Is he the mastermind behind this?"

While pondering the hint from Yanfu on his iris, Qin Huai's eyes suddenly went dark, his body swayed twice, and his face turned pale. It was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy in subduing Tunhai just now.

The strength of the Sea-Devouring Whale is definitely in the first echelon among the aquatic creatures that Qin Huai has ever seen. Apart from the three monsters of the sea gathering not far away, perhaps only the Shura killer whale of Xuanyuan gathering can suppress it. Among the countless species in Chaoyang Valley, the Sea-Devouring Whale is undoubtedly the strongest one.

If it was a fully-powered Sea-Devouring Whale, Qin Huai, who now has three clones outside, would probably have to manifest a complete glazed dragon body, and only with the help of [Kunlun] and [Burning Sea Candle Dragon] could he barely subdue the demon king.

Fortunately, he had subdued many monsters in the East China Sea some time ago, allowing Tian Wu's [Chaoyang Valley] to receive various blessings. Not only did his magical powers improve greatly, but his ability to create and control the alien Canglan also became more and more superb.

All of the above factors combined have enabled him to subdue this unruly ancient species today with his own strength.

After casually cracking a crisp golden shell, Qin Huai, who had recovered from his fatigue, finally had time to look at the six giant eggs floating in the air, supported by the thick water vapor.

These giant eggs are as white as jade, more than three meters high, with gray-green mysterious patterns on the surface, which look like mountain and water patterns. They are full of spiritual energy and are quite extraordinary.

Five of them were intact, but one had some sort of accident and its surface was covered with spider-web-like cracks. One could even see the bloody young Shen Ao inside through the fallen fragments and the shell membrane.

Even though [A Glimpse] did not give back much information, Qin Huai could still detect through his own extraordinary perception that the condition of the young divine turtle was not very good.

"Xiao Qin."

Zheng Zhaomin, who saw Qin Huai successfully recapture the Sea-Swallowing Whale from a distance, flew over and was about to congratulate him when he noticed the young divine turtle with its skin and flesh bursting and covered in blood.

"It's going to die, quick!"

Hearing Zheng Zhaomin's more accurate judgment, Qin Huai didn't think twice. A huge whirlpool emerged from his hand and swallowed it in an instant.

The Qi spring water filled with rich vitality wrapped around the young Divine Ao, but the effect was far less effective than that of the giant sea-swallowing whale. It could only barely maintain its condition and prevent it from sudden death.

"The alien species born from chaos are troublesome. It's hard for them to get hurt, and even harder for them to recover. Especially for the hatched ones. It's harder than climbing to the sky to save them."

Zheng Zhaomin looked at the young Shen Ao in Chaoyang Valley, which had not yet shown any improvement, and sighed, with a lot of emotion in his words.

"It's okay, Brother Zheng, I have a solution."

Qin Huai suddenly had an idea and took out a ghost-crafted ball from his personal space. The ball was engraved with nine patterns: a dragon-headed huqin, a dragon-patterned knife handle, a dragon-beast and phoenix-body beast sculpture, a large drum with a dragon scale base, an incense burner with a lion head and dragon tail, a dragon-top stone tablet, an iron plate with a dragon body and a tiger head, a dragon-shaped beast button, and a dragon-headed beast with a spine.

There are nine strands of extremely red in the ghost ball, which transform into the blood essence of beasts from time to time.

[Nine Dragon Sons]: A consumable item, containing nine strands of dragon son blood essence, which can endow any aquatic creature with the bloodline of one of the Nine Dragon Sons. After endowment, this aquatic creature will become a rare dragon species with bloodline second only to that of the True Dragon and the Nine Dragon Sons!
"A dragon and a turtle gave birth to a tyrant. I wonder what kind of species this [Mountain-carrying Divine Ao] born from chaos will be like."

Faced with the half-dead young Shen Ao, Qin Huai thought of the [Nine Dragon Sons] in his hand, and decided to try another way to give it dragon blood to help it absorb the medicinal power.

As for the possibility of failure
Anyway, the dragon's blood essence can be recovered from the corpse. Apart from some effort, there is no actual loss.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. A wisp of essence and blood floated out of the [Nine Dragon Sons] in Qin Huai's hand and fell into the eggshell that wrapped the young Shen Ao.

In just a moment, the deep red blood light that symbolized Ba Xia's essence and blood disappeared, and instead, layers of blood-colored filaments that gradually thickened formed outside the giant egg, eventually turning into an oval cocoon.

At the same time, Qin Huai also heard Zero's reminder.

"You have tamed the Nine Dragon Sons: Ba Xia!" [Nine Dragon Sons: Ba Xia] meets the conditions for ability enhancement.

The physical fitness of walking adults is enhanced by 10% in all aspects, and their arms have an additional strength of pounds, making them capable of carrying mountains and traveling long distances.

You have obtained the complete information of [Nine Dragon Sons: Ba Xia].

[Baxia]: According to legend, in ancient times, Baxia often carried the three mountains and five peaks to stir up storms in rivers, lakes and seas. Later, he was recaptured when Dayu was taming floods, and became a member of the Yuwang clan. He pushed mountains and dug ditches, dredged rivers, and had infinite strength and an indestructible body.

Note: Because the [Mountain-Carrying Divine Ao] carrying the blood of Ba Xia is naturally gifted and is a species born from chaos, its upper limit is one major rank higher than the ordinary Nine Dragon Sons, and it is a top species (Six Divisions) with the potential to be a celestial demon.

"It's not surprising that a normal Nine Dragon Son can only reach the peak of the Seventh Palace."

Qin Huai withdrew his gaze from the motionless blood-red cocoon, closed the entrance of [Chaoyang Valley], looked around, and saw that the many [Hundred Bird Soldiers] who had arrived were meticulously searching for the escaped fish. There was no need for him to go into the sea to look for them again. After thinking about it, he took the remaining five giant eggs and returned to Tan Song and his companions with Zheng Zhaomin.

"Mr. Tan, has he given any clues?"

Qin Huai glanced at the sloppy old man whose scapula was pierced by a hook knife, and asked Tan Song who was playing with a gourd.

"Before you subdued Tunhai, he remained silent and acted like a tough guy. But when you blew up the wind and slashed his hundred years of cultivation, the gourd monster suddenly became cowardly and confessed everything he could."

Tan Song was holding a red gourd, uncorking it and motioning Qin Huai to look inside.

All I could see were shadowy figures squeezed into the palm-sized gourd, and a mixture of blue and white danger emerged from the outlines of these shadows.

"This gourd monster was born with the innate magical power of absorbing Mount Sumeru into a mustard seed, and can perform a crude art of hiding the universe. Most of the guys sent to Black Lagoon by the Linyu Arena are among them."

Tan Song put the stopper back in place, paused, and continued, "He and the giant whale are both confidants of a celestial demon named [Yunlai Diaosou] who were sent to refine blood pills and watch over the hatching of the young Divine Ao. Currently, we only know that they have a close relationship with the Linyu Arena. As for whether there are other accomplices in Qianchuanhai Concentration, we need to investigate further."

Listening to Tan Song's story, Qin Huai's [glimpse] also changed, and the bunch of question marks on the sloppy old man's body were distorted into characters.

[Pao Zhenren]: The gourd monster king with 3,500 years of cultivation is a natural spirit seed-transformed monster king with a long lifespan. Every time he survives a thousand-year catastrophe, a different kind of gourd will grow on his gourd vine. It is extraordinary and magical, and is a natural magic weapon.

It was found by [Yunlai Diaosou] a hundred years ago, and because of the promise of helping it survive the calamity of the Heavenly Demon, it has been loyal to it ever since. Every thirty days, the blood pills it refines will be sent to an unknown place through the fishing hook cast by [Yunlai Diaosou].

Note: [Pao Zhenren] has three gourds on his waist, which have the magical functions of receiving objects, evading invasion, and containing spirits.

"Mr. Tan, do you have the blood pill he made? I want to take a look."

"Have."

Before he finished speaking, Tan Song opened the red gourd and poured out a scarlet and evil-looking bullet with a strange fragrance.

[Demon Blood Pill]: It has a unique fragrance and contains a vast amount of blood essence. It can greatly replenish blood and is very attractive to all kinds of creatures.

Note: [Yunlai Diaosou] is one of the baits used to fish for the great monsters of the ten continents.

"This fisherman is really not a good person."

Qin Huai looked at the Yanfu tip of the [Demon Blood Pill] in his hand, and handed it to Qing Qiu who was also quite curious about it.

"Your attainments in alchemy are not inferior to mine, so why are you helping the tyrant and harming so many fellow practitioners?"

After Qing Qiu carefully looked at the [Demon Blood Pill], he frowned and asked Master Xiang Pao in a very unfriendly tone.

"Survival of the fittest, if you don't live, you die. What can I do to survive the calamity of the demon?"

Pao Zhenren sneered, looked at Qingqiu, and said slowly: "Even the famous Yingzhou Fairy Butterfly Zhu couldn't survive the calamity of the Heavenly Demon, let alone me, a casual cultivator? Those Heavenly Demons from the Ten Continents and Three Islands have no relatives or friends with me. If I want to make further progress, I have to rely on Master Diaosou!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Qing Qiu, but everyone present fell silent.

They are all at the peak of the Seven Palaces, stuck at the threshold of the Six Departments, and they know very well about the so-called Heavenly Demon Tribulation.

After a while, Tan Song shook his head and said, "Tell me where the fisherman is. If you tell me the truth, I will consider not killing you."

"I don't know. Every time Master Fisherman sends us a message, he communicates through fishing line and bait. None of us has the means to find him."

Upon hearing that he still had a chance to survive, Master Pao's eyes flickered and he shook his head. His answer was still the same as when Tan Song asked the question earlier.

"How many days are left before you deliver the blood pill?"

"There are still seven days."

Seeing Master Pao answering honestly, Qin Huai nodded and looked at Tan Song with an inquiring look: "Mr. Tan, what do you think?"

"No rush, let's follow the clues first and arrest all the suspicious people in Linyu Arena and Qianchuanhai."

Tan Song noticed that the faces of the three Haiji monsters beside him had become a little stiff after hearing this, and continued: "In addition, we have to go to Xuanlin Island to check on Die Zhu's injuries. After these urgent matters are done, it will not be too late to decide whether to come back and wait for the opportunity."

"Yes."

Qin Huai saw that Tan Song's arrangements were tolerant and reasonable, so he naturally had no objection.
