Demonic World: I Pay to Win in Cultivation

Peach Blossom Spring is flying over the blue sea, and there are a few fiery red birds hovering in the distant sky behind.

That is Lord Fire Crow's avatar.

Since killing those four clones last night, these new clones have appeared in the sky.

Du Kang tried to kill them a few times later, but Huo Yajun also learned his skills. As long as he found that Du Kang was leaving, he would flee in advance. Even if he tried his best to catch up with them and kill them, new clones would appear again soon.

After doing this several times, Du Kang allowed them to continue monitoring. Rather than being exhausted by a few clones, it is better to wait on the boat and prepare for entering the inner sea.

The sun hangs high in the sky, baking the sea.

The constant wind direction has changed at some point, and the snakes adjusted the sail angle in time to keep Taohuayuan from stalling. Although the surrounding environment seems to have remained unchanged, everyone on board knew that the change in wind direction meant that they had left the main channel , officially entered the inland sea.

Yang Liu walked to Du Kang's side holding the chart left by Wu Ying's father-in-law, and said worriedly.

"Master, along this route we need to pass through the lands of three demon clans, none of them are weak. Do we really want to take this route? Why don't we go on the main channel for three hundred miles, that is Gollum Island, it will be much safer to turn to the inland sea from there."

"I don't have time. The people from the Sheng family didn't give me time to advance another 300 miles at sea. This is the best choice now. Although this chart was left thirty years ago, this kind of future The changes of the monster clan in the pioneering area have been very slow. The barnacle sea, the sea frog domain, and the shark collar have at least the experience of previous people in dealing with them. It is not difficult for us to get there. .”

Du Kang looked up at the fire crow hovering in the distance, his words were full of confidence. Facing an uncertain future, it is normal for subordinates to worry, but Du Kang, as the leader, must strengthen their beliefs and let his subordinates know that there is a future for them.

He has been in this world for so long to have such a team, but the difficulties in front of him can't dampen the vitality of an organization.

Although their strength is still weak, but working under Du Kang, as long as they don't die on the road of practicing magic, sooner or later they will become independent figures.

"Don't worry, master, I took you out to sea to gain a fortune, not to die."

Du Kang patted Yang Liu's now broad shoulders, this intimacy finally made him feel relieved.

Yang Liu thought to himself, even Du Kang, who can be rich and honored for a lifetime without taking risks, dares to take this sea route. The danger on the road is nothing to Du Kang, and the other party should have the confidence to easily save this boat. people.

If Du Kang knew what Yang Liu was thinking, he would secretly be happy with his success in shaping his image all the time. Although, his idea was to try his best to bring the boat to the destination on the way, and if nothing could be done, he would take the town tripod and abandon the boat alone and run away...

During the conversation between the two, a different scene finally appeared on the unchanging sea.

At the end of the line of sight, the endless gray-green suddenly replaced the original blue sea.

When you get closer, you can see that it is a layer of gray carapace barnacles floating on the sea surface. There are dark green seaweeds multiplying among the barnacles and weaving a large net, which firmly fixes them on the sea surface, forming a A sea of ​​barnacles.

The sea of ​​barnacles has arrived.

Even though everyone on the boat had been mentally prepared, they felt apprehensive looking at the gray-green ocean that appeared in front of them.

Without it, because the ocean is too lifeless.

In the past, on the deck, you could see the creatures swimming underwater through the clear water. The seemingly silent blue sea on the sea is actually a vibrant water world. The deepest depth can reach a depth of one or two hundred miles. More life on land.

But now Taohuayuan has not yet entered the barnacle sea, and not even a small fish can be seen in the nearby water. With the gray-green ocean in the distance, it is like a moldy plaque growing in the healthy sea water.

The sea seems to be dead.

The white-faced boy flew out from Du Kang's nose, stood on the bow of the boat, and slashed forward with a sword that was much taller than it was.

呲——

The crescent-shaped knife light pierced the sea surface, making a crisp sound of breaking water and slicing towards the barnacle sea. A wound was torn open on the continuous gray-green sea surface, revealing the blue water below.

From the cross-section of the wound, it can be seen that the thickest part of the barnacle sea can be one foot thick, but the Peach Blossom Spring that was flying towards it did not hesitate to adjust its direction and rushed towards the crack.

The squeeze of the hull expanded the wound again, and the carpet formed by the thick barnacles and seaweed was rolled up and turned into a curled shape, leaving a spacious passage behind the iron star wooden ship.

Daoguang kept flashing across the bow of the ship, and under the blowing of the sea wind, the peach blossom garden continued to penetrate deep into the sea of ​​barnacles.

Gradually, Lord Fire Crow's avatar that had been following closely in the air disappeared for some reason, and the vast sea also disappeared. The whole ship seemed to be sailing in a gray-green ocean.

There is nothing else in the world but the sky above, and the sea of ​​barnacles rolling with the waves.

A sense of loneliness began to haunt everyone.

"The way to come... the way to come is gone."

Turtle boy Liu Shou was the first to notice the strangeness behind the boat, and people looked behind the boat after hearing his words. Sure enough, without knowing when, the spacious crack opened by the ship has silently disappeared behind him.

This sea of ​​barnacles is alive! Any damage done to it can heal itself silently.

Even though there was not a single mortal on board, it was either a monk who had practiced spells or a demon soldier transformed by spells, this scene still made them instinctively terrified.

In such an environment, the extraordinary power mastered by low-level monks did not seem to give them much sense of security.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Du Kang's eyes lit up with a copper-yellow mirror light, and as his eyes scanned everyone on board, they immediately woke up from the sense of panic.

"The horror of the barnacle sea lies in the illusions they unconsciously radiate, and the monsters living here, all cheer up. This kind of low-level illusion that incites fear in people's hearts, as long as the heart is on guard, it will not be tricked."

A vine grew from the ship's side, picked up a piece of barnacle sea debris that was temporarily crushed from the sea water, and handed it to Du Kang.

[Name]: Barnacles/Green Algae Demon Swarm (symbiosis)

Level: Little Demon (Metamorphosis 1/23)

Skills: Carnivorous (first level)

Symbiosis (one heavy)

Multiply (one heavy)

Cluster (one heavy)

Hallucinogenic (one heavy)

Transformation conditions: devouring flesh/light...

"Weak and vulnerable, weak little monsters who win by numbers."

Having come to such an evaluation, Du Kang casually threw the piece of debris back into the sea, and began to pay attention to the situation on board.

After breaking away from the illusion, a series of sounds of doors and windows being closed quickly sounded. Except for talking about painting and needing to control Zi Snake who was in the cabin, everyone filed out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Forty snakes wore a full set of vajra chain mail, with fish-scale knives hanging from their waists, with wind-chasing arrows on iron feather bows, and wave-breaking water-avoiding forks and quiveres at their feet, standing in array on both sides of the ship's side.

The four turtle children turned into half-demons and guarded the stern with their own weapons. Except that the tortoise shells were too big to fit the armor, they wore black iron helmets on their heads, fish-scale boots on their feet, and wore knees and elbows. Alchemy silver knee pads and elbow pads.

The rest of them all put on a vajra chain mail, and guarded the bow of the boat with various magical soldiers of their choice.

The crew's magic weapons are so luxurious that even the Sheng family, who started out selling magic weapons, would call them prodigals. These low-level monks and demon soldiers are almost armed to the teeth by magic weapons.

This is to guard against the monster attacks mentioned in the intelligence. Those magic soldiers are also left alone. It is better to distribute them to increase the combat power to reduce casualties as much as possible.

Du Kang looked at the sun above his head to judge the direction, and calculated the time needed to cross the sea of ​​barnacles. Thirty years ago, it took two hours for the merchant ship that Wuying's father-in-law was on to pass through this sea area. It is unknown how much this sea of ​​barnacles has expanded in these thirty years.

There was silence on the gray-green sea, but Du Kang could feel that there was something under the gray-green carpet that had been spying on him. That gaze was as greedy as this dead sea of ​​barnacles, wanting to destroy everything on the ship. Flesh devoured.

Puff!

An arm emerged from the barnacle carpet not far away, and then an ugly monster with a fish head and a human body crawled out of it.

With huge eyes like dead fish, gills that open and close in the air, a body covered in mucus, and strong human limbs, this murloc saw a boatload of living creatures in front of him. A sharp cry immediately came out of the mouth.

Whoosh!

As soon as the cry came out, a black arrow came whistling from the boat and pierced directly into the murloc's open mouth. The mermaid froze in place for a few breaths before falling to the ground, its whole body twitching in the sea of ​​barnacles, it seemed that it couldn't live.

No one cheered, no one applauded, everyone on the boat just glanced at this side and then withdrew their eyes, concentrating on the defense in front of them.

However, Du Kang saw that the murlocs that were not completely dead began to be squirmed and clinging to the sea of ​​barnacles beneath them. Strands of seaweed penetrated the murloc's facial features, and the barnacles pierced the murloc's slippery skin with tiny tentacles. skin. The prey is not dead yet, and the slow feeding has begun...

Until the murloc disappeared from Du Kang's sight, its corpse was not eaten much, but as long as it was there, there would always be a moment when it would be eaten up.

These monsters living in the barnacle sea, and the symbiotic barnacle algae monster group are only using each other. The monsters use this strange environment to prey, and all the creatures that die here will become the rations of the barnacle algae group.

This relationship between different ethnic groups is particularly cruel and real at this moment.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the speed of the boat actually slowed down, which allowed Du Kang to connect to the blue-faced boy through the wooden thorns on the boat.

Sure enough, in the image provided by Qingmian Boy, a thick layer of barnacles and algae monsters have attached to the bottom of the Iron Star wooden ship at some point. Their irregular shape increases the resistance of the bottom of the ship and greatly slows down the speed of the ship. .

[Five Elements Witchcraft · Blue-faced Boy · Thorn of Thorns]

The cyan light illuminates the dark bottom of the ship, and wooden thorns like steel needles pierce, shrink, and pierce out from the gentle bottom of the ship, and this cycle repeats, and the tiny tentacles used by the barnacles to cling to are transformed into a The rotten meat and the huge group of barnacle algae monsters attached to the bottom of the ship fell into the sea like this, and were left behind by the sailing peach blossom garden.

Taohuayuan kept heading northwest, which was the direction of their target island.

From time to time, strange sea monsters emerged from the sea of ​​barnacles, but they were all weak and fell under the arrows of the chasing wind. As long as the arrows of the magic soldiers hit the vital points, they could be killed in one blow, no matter how thick the scales were No amount of muscle can protect their lives.

This kind of one-off arrow was originally used to hunt large monsters, and the cost was as high as twenty taels of silver each. It was used on this kind of little monster, it was really violent.

But in order to quickly pass through this sea area, it is an extremely cost-effective deal to use up some personal belongings that can't be obtained in this deal.

In this kind of whack-a-mole game, time passed extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, Taohuayuan had advanced two hours in the barnacle sea, but this sea area still had no end in sight.

"Sure enough, in the past thirty years, the area of ​​the barnacle algae monster group has expanded again. That's good, the Sheng family's pursuers will have to toss around here for a long time."

Du Kang comforted himself in this way, and still looked forward calmly, as if everything was within his expectations.

This reassured everyone who became more and more uneasy as time went by.

Suddenly, Du Kang looked to the left side of the ship, his face changed slightly.

"Leave two people on the starboard side, and the rest will go to the port side to support."

Following Du Kang's order, the snakes trotted to the left side of the ship's side in an orderly formation, and the rest of the monks also clenched their weapons.

"It seems that we are about to leave here. The logbook of Wuying's father-in-law also recorded that they were brutally attacked by monsters for about half an hour before they left the Barnacle Sea. He guessed afterwards that this sea area is already an extremely mature In the hunting ground, any prey can enter at will, but if you want to leave, you will face the enthusiasm of the monsters to keep you. Draw all the bows for me, and the time to leave here has come."

The sound of puff, puff was endless, and the strange-looking small sea-monsters got to the surface of the barnacle sea, stepping on the seaweed and barnacles and charging towards the peach blossom garden.

The flashing arrow of Chasing Wind rested on the hand holding the bow, and as the other hand pulling the string was loosened, a round of arrows rained down on the boat.

Arrows are flying like waves!

The sound of sharp objects entering the body could be heard endlessly, and the little monsters were like fish on the chopping board, dripping blood on the soft seaweed and hard barnacles.

But this was only the first wave of monsters, and soon the monsters learned the tricks. They swam underwater to the bottom of the ship and began to attack the ship's plank. The hard iron star wood plank was scratched by their fangs and sharp claws.

But in the familiar blue light, vines with spikes at the top emerged from the wooden planks, piercing through a small sea monster.

The blue-faced boy is only the fourth level, and he has not yet grown more than a hundred vines at the same time, and can still maintain the lethality of the vines, so he can only concentrate all the vines on the bottom of the ship to kill monsters trying to destroy the ship. Difficult to scruple.

A large number of monsters came from the left side of the ship. They quickly bypassed the port side of the ship, which was heavily attacked by arrows, avoided the vine-covered bottom of the ship, and came to the right side of the ship, climbing up the small gaps between the ship's planks.

At this time, it was too late to transfer the manpower from the port side to the starboard side. Du Kang could only send out the red-faced and yellow-faced boys who were the only ones still available.

The red-faced boy opened his mouth and sprayed, and the fiery waves half-cooked a large number of monsters who were boarding the ship, and fell into the water. The yellow-faced boy came to the top of several monsters that were about to climb to the top, transformed into a rock giant, and smashed them one by one. Broken bones and tendons fell into the sea.

At the stern of the boat, four turtles flew together with knives, halberds, sticks, and sticks, suppressing the monster so much that he dared not show his head.

At the bow of the boat, Yang Liusi, who was holding a monster-killing and beheading knife, looked at the six directions, and led Wu Ying's family of three to kill the few murlocs who climbed up the bow.

At the same time, the white-faced boy at the bow was still slashing at the sea of ​​barnacles in front of him, paving the way for the Peach Blossom Spring, and the whole ship continued to head northwest at a constant speed.

Du Kang, who was the only one who was free, stood on the top of the cabin, and at the end of his line of sight, he could faintly see a huge group of spiritual light coming towards this side.
