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

Chapter 147: Zhang Family Combination Punch, Encircling and Killing the Snowstorm Monster

A few days later,
The huge fleet finally approached the northern ice field, and from time to time one or two local monster hunting ships could be seen gathering.

"Are there so many monster-hunting ships in this area again?"

The peripheral forces of Yundu Island had been plundered twice. Logically, there were few lucky foundation-building forces that could have survived these two purges.

"The Zhang family has provided a lot of policy support to redevelop the hunting of the northern ice sheet."

"Most of the current foundation-building forces on Yundu Island have relocated from other places. They brought a lot of wealth with them, so the Zhang family directly sold ships to them."

The foundation-building forces are not completely immobile, especially those that are not retainers of the Jindan forces are relatively free.

If they have reached their limit of development in one place, they will probably split up and let one branch of the clan go to other places to develop. This will eliminate the increasingly accumulated internal conflicts, and even if they encounter extreme situations in the future, they will be able to maintain some of the incense, and they can gather again if one branch develops.

This policy of the Zhang family can naturally attract such forces. They directly settle down and buy property on Yundu Island, making it very popular.

As for the risk of being robbed again?

Everyone has a sense of luck, especially when faced with development opportunities, you must take some risks, otherwise you will get all the good things?
"After the previous foundation-building forces on Yundu Island were generally eliminated, the local Qi-refining forces also took the opportunity to emerge. It's not that they can't advance to the foundation-building stage, but they have been suppressed."

"The Zhang family also provided long-term loans to these newly emerged foundation-building forces that had no money, allowing them to board monster-hunting ships in advance. As a result, every foundation-building force on Yundu Island now has a ship, and some families even have more than one."

“What a courage!”

No money to buy a boat?

Are you jealous of others making money at sea?
Are you worried about the slow development of your family and want to take a shortcut?

Don't worry! I'll lend you money to buy a boat!

The Zhang family headquarters controlled the number of people going out to sea, gave up some of the profits, but also transferred all the risks. The Zhang family members who withdrew are now busy in the shipyard, and even the most basic apprentices are not allowed to go out to sea.

"I heard that the Zhang family has also supported several large-scale monster hunting groups. They are really generous."

"Monster hunting group? The kind led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"Well, independent cultivators from outside can also get loans from the Zhang family, order ships from the Zhang family shipyard, and then recruit independent cultivator crew members from Yundu Island, which solves many employment problems for Yundu Island."

"Aren't you afraid that both the people and the boat will run away?"

"They must have their own methods. Where can a foundation-building cultivator controlled by a golden elixir run to?"

"Amazing! Yundu Island, which was supposed to be in decline, has been revitalized."

Toot~
As the Yulong Islands fleet arrived at the agreed gathering place to wait for the Shield Mountain ship, the scale of the scene here exceeded Lin Qianfan's expectations. It was roughly estimated that there were more than two hundred monster-hunting ships, and even some scattered ones were approaching, and the number might reach three hundred in the end.

"Oh my god! Why are there so many monster-hunting ships for the ocean hunt? Has every household changed since the turmoil in the Western Regions?"

When Lin Qianfan first came here ten years ago, there were only a little over a hundred monster-hunting ships in total, nothing like the current scene.

"Even though the Zhang family has suffered two disasters in a row, their reputation has been established and everyone is willing to come here."

Ten years ago, the Zhang family's old Shield Mountain warship was hijacked by pirates. The new Shield Mountain warship was on order at Qianxing Baowu, and it was unknown how many years it would take to be completed. When the outside world thought that the Zhang family would have to pause for a few years.

The Zhang family sent letters to everyone:

Jindan Zhenren leads the way! The hunt continues!
During those years, the Zhang family's newly promoted Jindan cultivator disregarded the face of the Jindan cultivators and personally took action to break the ice and clear the way for the large fleet. He personally went to the depths of the ice field to confirm whether there were any third-level monsters, and then stayed on the Zhang family's second-level monster hunting ship to collect the monsters with the storage ring unique to the Jindan cultivators.

This combination of punches gave all the demon-hunting ships a full sense of security.

The Jindan cultivator personally cleared the way and eliminated the danger to purchase your worthless first-level prey. What else do you want?
The Zhang family maintained their reputation in adversity, and their reputation naturally rose. Now many forces would rather travel long distances to come here, so the number of monster hunting ships has gradually increased.

In addition, due to the death of the old Jindan of the Zhang family, the diplomatic level of the Zhang family dropped again, and the actual benefits of the Jindan forces coming here to hunt increased significantly. The Jindan forces came in a small fleet, so today's grand occasion has occurred.

Toot~
The young and strong Shield Mountain warship came from the direction of Yundu Island, and nearly three hundred small boats obediently made way for it to go to the front.

"Thank you all for your support. My ancestor has personally confirmed that there are no Level 3 monsters in the depths of the ice field this year. You just need to be careful of Level 2 monsters. Let's go!"

Zhang Jiadan spoke briefly and to the point, without saying any nonsense, and drove the Shield Mountain ship to rush towards the ice field.

"Ever since the Zhang family's ancestor passed away, this Zhang family ancestor has never easily appeared in public."

In the past, he dared to come out often, trying to show the Zhang family's influence on the northern ice field area, but after setting a trap and killing three old guys from the Northwest Region on Yundu Island, he no longer dared to show up.

Those three old guys are secondary, because the forces they belong to have been completely destroyed by the other three old guys who escaped. What they are really afraid of is the people that Zhang family’s old Jindan offended in the Northwest Region.

As one of the few people who came back alive, Zhang family's old Jindan not only brought back a large amount of spoils, but also brought back a large amount of causal hatred. It is not ruled out that extreme situations will occur in the future.

Rumble~
"set off!"

As the Shield Mountain warship plowed out a wide channel, in addition to the Zhang family's own small number of monster-hunting ships following closely behind, the top-ranked forces among the Jindan forces followed first.

The current Lin family is naturally among them. Although the number of golden elixirs in the Lin family is not large, the quality is good and it can be ranked among the best.

Those who walk in front will naturally have priority in choosing the hunting ground. After all, everyone will tacitly avoid the hunting grounds and try to avoid internal conflicts.

"This is it."

After following for a while, Lin Dalei led the small fleet away from the large fleet and headed for a hunting ground that he often visited in previous years.

It is still the winter snow season and there is no sign of the ice melting, but the second-level monster hunting ship has some icebreaking capabilities. After leaving the large fleet, it can still head into the ice, but the travel will be more difficult.

Boom~boom~boom~
The bow psychic cannons of the three medium-sized ships, Wind Chaser, Fury and Sea Hunter, were more powerful and had a faster firing rate. They took turns firing and took on the icebreaking task for the small fleet.

In addition, some of the second-level water-attributed spirit beasts following the fleet also cooperated to cut a path through the thick ice. After all, ice is essentially water.

Gaga~

Bai Yu found a suitable target and pointed out the specific location.

"The target ahead is a large group of snowstorm monsters, estimated to have more than ten second-level snowstorm monsters. The fleet will split in two and encircle them!"

Because the ice is still very hard, the noise of breaking the ice is quite loud, so we cannot attack the target directly. Otherwise, the smarter monsters will not choose to fight head-on, so we need to encircle the target with the help of Bai Yu.

Toot~
The sea hunter blew a flute and took away four boats from Yanglong Bay and three small boats from Xiancheng, a total of seven boats to steal the body.

The seven ships, which were obviously stronger, led by the Wind Chaser and the Fury, took the main attack direction.

Monsters will not run away when they see the enemy. On the contrary, they are also very brave, especially when they are hungry after a winter. If they feel that the enemy in front of them is weaker than themselves, they may lead the tribe to launch a full-scale attack.

Although monsters have the instinct to reproduce and expand their populations, they also have the instinct to strengthen themselves and climb upwards. Eating other second-level beings is the quickest way to do this.

"Myna, it's your turn to drive the boat. I'll conserve my energy." "Okay!"

As the strongest combat force on the Heng'an, Lin Qianfan cannot easily consume his spiritual power on driving the ship. He needs to stay in the strongest condition at all times to deal with emergencies.

The closer the fleet got to the target area, the quieter the movement became. The previously roaring psychic cannons had slowly stopped, replaced by the Blood Shark who personally cast a spell to shatter a small path from the bottom of the sea, and then the Sea Hunter drove the formation to advance.

This way, the noise is extremely small, and the sounds that are bound to be produced will be mostly eliminated by the silent formation of the demon hunting ship, and the slightest sound waves cannot be transmitted half a mile.

Enter the designated waiting area.

This place is already beyond the detection limit of the blizzard monster group, but they are within the detection coverage of the monster hunting ship. There are a total of twelve second-level units, which can be clearly seen on the detection formation.

A quarter of an hour later,
Gaga~

"All hands on deck!"

Rumble~
Seven demon-hunting ships that were ready to go fired at the same time, aiming at the ice ahead, but each landing point was completely different, creating a perfect straight path, allowing the sea hunters to quickly break in first.

Rumble~
In the second, third and fourth rounds, with the efficient communication of the foundation-building monks' spiritual thoughts and the seamless cooperation of the seven monster-hunting ships, the small fleet broke in at high speed, completely ignoring the ice layer that should have been a heavy barrier and rushed towards the target battlefield.

"Ow~"

The blizzard monsters are tall and burly, some look like ape-like monsters, and some look like jackal-like monsters. They are not only physically strong but also the darlings of ice and snow, and most of them have awakened ice and snow spells.

"Saturation bombardment, split the target group apart!"

Rumble~
The small fleet that broke in from the back of the battlefield began to bombard wildly as soon as it entered the shooting range. The psychic cannons poured out at full power as if they were free, defeating the group of blizzard monsters that liked to gather together and stack spell states to fight against the front battlefield, and divided them into several small second-level monster groups.

"Ow~"

When the late second-stage Snowstorm Demon leader discovered that he was ambushed by this group of cunning humans, he immediately ordered some members to evacuate, while some members risked their lives to stop them.

Although the wild monsters are uncivilized, they still have their own survival wisdom. When they encounter a weak opponent, they will attack with their entire army, and when they encounter a strong opponent, they will retreat in parts.

The passion to become stronger that originally possessed the demon has faded, and now the passion to protect the tribe has taken over.

"Let go of some of the Snowstorm Monsters and give them a chance to survive. The rest will further divide the battlefield and must be completely wiped out!"

Jiu Ye commanded calmly and had no intention of completely devouring this large group of snowstorm monsters.

"Let's take this target!"

Among the twelve second-level snowstorm monsters, the two weakest ones successfully broke through with nearly a quarter of the first-level snowstorm monsters, while the others were all intercepted.

The ten second-level targets were assigned to the ten strongest monster-hunting ships according to their comprehensive strength rankings and dealt with individually. The remaining four weakest monster-hunting ships could only eliminate the remaining first-level snowstorm monsters.

Even though the Heng'an was launched for the first time, the configuration of the two brothers and Silver Scale was not weak. The four weakest ships were among the family monster-hunting ships under the command of the Lin family in Xiancheng.

They were originally a small to medium-sized family with two to four members, and could not equip each ship with two foundation-building combat forces.

"Myna, pull over and fight in close combat to save some spirit stones."

"understand!"

The energy supply system of the monster hunting ship recognizes both medium-grade spirit stones and foundation-building spiritual power. Even if there is a small-sized second-level monster that can successfully enter the control room and has been authenticated by the monster power mark in advance, it will work.

Since the Heng'an's strength exceeds the target, it is natural to control the consumption of spirit stones to a minimum and use second-level weapons as little as possible.

"war!"

Lin Qianfan took the initiative to fly out and seek a fight.

The target was a snowstorm demon at the peak of the early second stage. It tried to break out several times but was repelled by the demon hunting ship's barrage until the Heng'an approached.

The approach of the demon-hunting ship meant that the original encirclement had collapsed. As long as it defeated the Heng'an, it would have a three-point hope of breaking out.

"Ow~"

When the blizzard monster saw Lin Qianfan fly out of the monster hunting ship formation, it immediately went into a frenzy.

The Snowstorm Monster, which originally ran on four legs in order to run at high speed, became a two-legged monster after the rampage. Its body became two times larger, and its originally snow-white fur turned red.

"cut!"

Lin Qianfan took the lead in the attack, while the Heng'an blocked the target's escape route and gathered strength to ensure that the target could not escape easily, while Yinlin, who had never appeared, held his breath and waited for a sneak attack.

"Ow~"

The blizzard demon used his innate magic to condense a handy ice spear and began to fight with Lin Qianfan.

The peak of the early second stage is equivalent to the peak of the third stage of human foundation building. After the rage, the core attributes of the Snowstorm Monster increased by several points, making it very powerful. Although Lin Qianfan is strong, he is only at the first stage of foundation building. In front of it, he can only be considered average and was suppressed.

Boom~
Whenever the Snowstorm Monster gained a slight advantage, the Heng'an's charged bow psychic cannon would successfully hit it under the guidance of the Starling's divine consciousness and turn the situation around.

"Ow~"

The already violent Snowstorm Demon was very aggrieved and angry. This group of people were really hateful, cunning and unreasonable, but it had no way to deal with it. Lin Qianfan was agile and the Heng'an was durable. It was obviously very strong but could not win quickly.

After a hundred rounds,

The violent state strengthened by the overdrawn power of the Snowstorm Monster began to decline, and there were many wounds on his body. Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Qianfan sent a message to Yin Lin through the contract.

"Sky-Splitting Curse!"

Lin Qianfan looked for an opportunity to unleash his most proficient spell as a cover.

"Ang~"

Silver Scale, who was ready to strike, suddenly attacked from bottom to top, activating the water dragon's entanglement spell while strangling the blizzard monster's body.

"Ow~"

The Snowstorm Monster, which had been in a bad state, suddenly recovered to its peak state. With its realm suppressed, Silver Scale was no match for it. It decisively gave up strangling the opponent, returned to the water, no longer hiding, and continuously released various spells, putting enough pressure on the opponent's position.

Energy is conserved, and the last burst of energy is naturally short-lived. The originally powerful blizzard monster was quickly defeated by the combined efforts of the three parties.

puff~

The well-cultivated Thunder-Slaying Sword took advantage of the opportunity and cut off the target's head, announcing the end of the siege.
