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

Chapter 148: Efficient Hunting, New Crisis! (I’m so angry)
"Hurry up and support other places!"

While Yin Lin was collecting the target's corpse, Lin Qianfan and Lin Qianbao swapped positions.

Lin Qianfan, who had just consumed more energy, took control of the ship and recovered, while Lin Qianbao headed towards the most intense battlefield nearby. He also needed combat experience, and actual combat was the fastest way to become stronger.

"Master Ba, let me help you!"

"Well done!"

Although the Dolphin's target was not strong, the Dolphin's strength was not strong either. After Mr. Bay left the ship, the Dolphin could not accurately hit the target, and on average one shot missed the target after two shots.

There is no other way. It is already good enough for a Qi-refining monk to operate a second-level weapon. It all depends on the accuracy of the psychic cannon itself.

There is nothing much to say about using more people to defeat fewer people. After the target's status dropped, Mr. Bay even gave up the main attack position and let Lin Qianbao use his maximum output to win the battle.

"Thank you, Master Eight, for your help!"

Although Lin Qianbao did not take the prey, the victory was still credited to the Dolphin. He had already gotten what he wanted.

"Let's not talk about this. The future of the Lin family lies with you."

oh~
At the same time, a huge roar that far surpassed all other sounds came from the core of the battlefield.

"It's over, clean up the battlefield quickly!"

It turned out that the Wind Chaser and Lin Dalei had forced the Snowstorm Demon Chieftain to use his strongest attack method, but this method was suddenly broken by the Blood Shark, and the Snowstorm Demon Chieftain was powerless to recover.

Gulu~

The newcomers who went out to sea for the first time did nothing but watched a very beautiful encirclement and annihilation battle, which shocked them greatly.

"Is this life on a monster-hunting ship? It's a world away from the monotonous life of going back and forth between Yanglong Bay and back again."

"How much are these prey worth? How do we divide them?"

"Master Fourteen is so strong!"

"Elder Silver Scale is so handsome!"

"Um... I want to ask what's the point of us watching the show?"

Most of the people on the boat are familiar with each other, and some of the verbal taboos in the world of immortal cultivation are much less common here.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of work for you to do. Don't complain about being tired later."

As the ten second-level snowstorm monsters fell one by one under the division of labor and cooperation of the ten boats, the first-level monster group that had originally resisted fiercely no longer had much will to resist and was killed by the monks on the other four boats.

The work of breaking down the prey will naturally be shared out. The influx of a large number of prey naturally needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible so as not to delay the next hunt. Even crew members who originally belonged to the logistics or shipbuilder team have to come out to help.

A few days later,
The small fleet, which had already delivered prey to the Shield Mountain Ship twice, set off lightly and continued to search for prey.

The ice field has now melted significantly, the fleet's mobility has greatly increased, hunting efficiency has increased, and everyone's cooperation has also improved significantly.

Gaga~

"Behind the iceberg to the west is a small group of second-level monsters. They are polar bear monsters, led by two early-stage second-level polar bear monsters, one male and one female."

"Ship the Autumn, Dolphin, and Hyacinth to destroy them. Keep a constant report on the battle situation and stay safe."

"Understood!" x3
Large-scale second-level monster groups are not always available. Even in the core area of the ice field, there are many small and medium-sized second-level monster groups.

It is impossible for so many ships to swarm in at any time, so everyone dispersed around the fleet according to Bai Yu's information and Lin Dalei's mobilization. They would only join forces when they encountered prey that required a joint attack. In any case, the final distribution of the prey would be considered comprehensively.

Gaga~

"There are a large number of wintering birds and beasts hiding on an island twenty miles to the northwest. They are not a single tribe, but a mixed group. It is estimated that there are more than five second-level ones. Bai Yu dare not get too close."

"The Fury, Sea Hunter, Heng'an, and Lotus Leaf, four ships, will go and destroy them. Keep reporting the battle situation and call for backup when necessary. Bai Yu will stay close to you."

"Understood!" x4
Baiyu is not omnipotent. Its reconnaissance also needs to prioritize safety. When encountering groups of birds and beasts, it often keeps its distance to avoid being chased and attacked.

"set off!"

Lin Bicheng, the captain of the Fury, has reached the peak of the sixth level of foundation building. He is accompanied by the deputy captain and the giant-tusked elephant, who naturally act as temporary commanders.

Toot~
When the three ships left the fleet, other ships also returned to the fleet after successful hunting.

Because the attacking force is often about twice the target's strength, the hunting efficiency is very high and there are basically no casualties.

After two incense sticks,
The four boats gradually approached the target area, stopped moving, and began to further investigate the situation on the island.

Bai Yu is only responsible for aerial reconnaissance. Aerial reconnaissance is not omnipotent, and sometimes other means are needed.

This time, it was naturally Giant Fang who quietly approached the target from the sea and even had to secretly go to the island to investigate.

"The monster-hunting ship can't reach the island, and the birds and beasts are good at flying. This battle will be difficult to fight."

"We can only launch a surprise attack. We can only target the second-level big monster. The small monsters can only be let go."

Not every kind of monster lives in groups, but the fleet's priority targets are all those that live in groups, because although first-level monsters are not valuable, they are numerous and can solve many problems.

After a while, the tusk returned.

"You mean something's wrong? What's going on?!"

As an old partner who has been promoted to the second level for many years, Juya has a very high level of intelligence. He has keen observation skills and can explain problems clearly and logically.

"Everyone! We are in trouble."

"Elder Cheng, please explain in detail."

Monster hunting cannot be careless, and you cannot blindly force your way forward when you encounter doubts. You need to plan carefully before taking action every time. You would rather lose some opportunities than not control the risks. After all, opportunities can be found again, but you only have one life.

"According to Giant Fang's detection... the solitary eagle beasts and the gregarious pheasant beasts spend the winter together without any conflict. There are actually four different second-level bird and beast groups gathered on a single wild island. The actual number of second-level monsters is far more than five."

"Is there some hidden opportunity on the island?"

"I don't know! But their behavior is too abnormal. Plus, we need to leave the demon hunting ship and fight on the island. I think the risk is too great and we should give up."

"Agree!" x3
The four boats came and left silently, without taking away a piece of ice.

In the Yulong Islands fleet, several of the most powerful captains gathered together to discuss.

"The Zhang family couldn't possibly deceive us with fake news. Otherwise, their reputation would be ruined and they wouldn't be able to continue. That's why there's no such thing as a third-level demon king. Besides, the demon king's appeal is far greater than that."

"Could there really be opportunities related to birds and beasts there?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out! If the time to fight for the opportunity has not yet arrived, and the difference in strength between the birds and beasts is not too great, then it is very likely that they will remain in peace and wait for the opportunity to mature."

"Quack~"

Bai Yu said there was no special pheromone attracting it.

"Don't worry, you'll know when Archie comes back."

A foundation-building cultivator from the Lin family of Xiancheng, who is best at hiding, sneaking, tracking and investigating in the fleet, has gone to investigate.

Half an hour later, Elder Qi returned quickly.

"There's a big problem!"

Elder Qi fled back at almost full speed, but there were no pursuers behind him. It was obvious that he had discovered some important clues.

"Archie, take your time."

"There's a faint, powerful aura beneath that island, somewhat resembling a third-rank demon king, but seemingly not quite at the third rank. It's unstable, and all the other birds and beasts are under its control."

"Demon King? Oh no, this year's hunt won't be ruined again."

"Don't interrupt, Archie, any other clues?"

"Yes! The controlled birds and beasts seem to be out of their minds and not very sensitive to the outside world. One of them, a steel-winged eagle, which is known for its keen perception, is actually stupid and dazed."

"There are such strange things!"

Anyone who can control a large number of monsters, including quite a few second-level monsters, must be very powerful and very good at this ability, but it is not right that he controls them in a stupid and dull way.

"Let's not get involved in this matter. Let's report it to the Zhang family and let them handle it."

After comprehensive consideration, Lin Dalei decided to give up.

To attack an island by force, one needs to abandon the hunting ship, which is a powerful offensive and defensive platform. In addition, the enemy's strength is unknown. Even if there is only a small probability that it is a demon king, it may bring about a huge disaster.

Even though the Lin family is wealthy and powerful, they will be greatly affected if these dozen ships cannot return. If Xuelie dies, the Third Master's breakthrough will fail. If Lin Qianfan dies, it will be unknown how many years it will take for Yanglong Bay to have the next early-appearing golden elixir seed.

Teamwork requires execution. Although everyone is reluctant to give up the good situation, they all have to retreat in an orderly manner according to the command.

On the Shield Mountain ship,

Bai Yu, Ju Ya, Elder Qi and Lin Dalei repeated their observations and judgments to the fake elixir cultivator of the Zhang family one by one.

"This is strange! My Grand Elder clearly searched the area thoroughly, so how could something like this happen?"

Zhang Jiadan was in a dilemma. This news was extremely important, but it also made him extremely troubled. However, considering that the Lin family was the first to know about the incident last time, he did not take it lightly and sent a message to Yundu Island as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your notification. Afterwards, my Zhang family will reward you based on the specific information provided."

Zhang Jiadan's expression was very forced.

The cautious Lin family naturally did not go deeper into the ice field, but went to the relatively outer area of the ice field. Although there were not so many prey here, it was safe and they could run away at any time.

Zhang family headquarters on Yundu Island.

"Is it a third-level demon king? Or is it a hook to catch me?"

Zhang Chaoyang thought of many possibilities.

There are not so many wild and wandering third-level demon kings in the world. Those who can become third-level demon kings can usually occupy a piece of territory. Unless they have been defeated and driven away recently, they will not wander around.

There is no need for Liulang to cross the northeastern defense line to come in. After all, the northern ice field has been searched countless times by the Zhang family, and there are not many opportunities. It is only suitable for first and second level monsters to stay.

"Sack, you're forcing me to go!"

If Zhang Chaoyang does not take the initiative to resolve this problem, hundreds of ships will definitely cause a chain reaction, the Zhang family's reputation will be damaged, and there will not be so many monster-hunting ships coming next year.

After the Zhang family's commission rate dropped, they relied on volume to maintain their business. This was a treasure trove and the core interest of the Zhang family. Zhang Chaoyang would not give it up easily.

But if he went, he would probably fall into someone else's trap as his average strength in the early stage of Jindan was not that good.

As long as the opponent has the strength of the peak of the early Jindan period and takes the initiative, he may be buried in the center of the ice field.

"You forced me!"

Compared to the safe Zhang family's old golden elixir, Zhang Chaoyang is more enterprising. He does not want to see his family decline, so he must take responsibility.

Outside the ice sheet,

The fourteen ships of the Yulong Islands fleet are divided into seven combat units in groups of two, and each operates independently. They only need to maintain a relative distance so that they can advance and retreat together.

"How could this be such a coincidence? Did you bring bad luck to the Zhang family?"

The myna looked at Lin Qianfan teasingly. When Lin Qianfan came here for the first time, he attracted pirates. After many years, he came here again and attracted an unknown existence to the Zhang family.

"Nonsense! I've been here many times, okay? How come nothing happened before? I can only say that our Lin family is meticulous and can always find a way out in times of crisis. Don't talk nonsense!"

The abnormal behavior of the Yulong Islands fleet soon spread. After all, the last incident with the Giant Tooth King was still fresh in people's minds, and soon ships from other Jindan forces came to inquire about the situation.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why did you abandon the prime hunting grounds deep in the icefield? Did you discover any problems? Please let me know!"

The person who came was obviously more powerful than Lin Dalei, but he spoke softly and politely, and his attitude was the best.

"Some time ago..."

Lin Dalei naturally had nothing to hide. Such a big thing could not be concealed. The Zhang family did not ask for hush money, and concealing it would offend people, so he could only tell the truth.

"Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely repay you in the future!"

The visitor made a promise, but did not mention when or what he would repay.
