Versatile Mage: The Road to Invincibility

Chapter 82 Boarding Shiyan Island, Demon Claw Marks

Wow~Wow~

Under the control of Lao Li, the old wooden paddle pushed the boat forward slowly.

"Grandpa Li, let me do it. I am strong, so you can take it easy." Ling Tianyu took the initiative.

"You?" Lao Li glanced at Ling Tianyu with suspicion and saw that Ling Tianyu's fair and clean student appearance did not look like he had strength.

But soon he will be shocked...

Ling Tianyu was not only able to row, but also rowed very smoothly. Apart from being unfamiliar with the movements at the beginning, he seemed a bit jerky. As he progressed to the back, the speed of paddling became faster and faster, even much faster than a veteran like him.

Even the small wooden boat they were riding in was traveling several times faster than before.

Lao Li just needs to point the way...

"Is it almost there?" Half an hour later, Lingling pointed at an increasingly large black shadow in the distance and said.

"Yes, that's Shiyan Island. But start slowing down from now on and follow my instructions. There will be no shortage of bamboo shoots near islands like this. Small boats with shallow drafts like ours are relatively safe, but big cruise ships are not. It’s easy to say, it’s very easy for the bamboo shoots to break the bottom of the boat. Now that we are some distance from the shore, it’s almost time for them to appear..."

As Lao Li was speaking, his eyes narrowed and he hurriedly said to Ling Tianyu, "Young man, turn right!"

Nodding, Ling Tianyu controlled the steering of the paddle, and then he seemed to hear some kind of scraping sound.

"What a mistake! I didn't expect that there would be a bamboo shoot reef so far away. It seems that this place is becoming more and more unsafe." Lao Li sighed, and then stared at the water surface with concentration. He was also an old hunter, and he could follow the fluctuations of the water surface and the sunlight. The refraction angle determines whether there are bamboo shoots on the bottom of the water.

Bamboo shoot reefs are similar to stalactites in caves. They can absorb impurities and dust in the ocean and turn them into part of the solid rock, which is very harmful. However, it is also the habitat of many fish and can also purify seawater. I can only say there are pros and cons.

"Grandpa Li, is there a bamboo shoot reef ten meters to the right?" Ling Tian asked.

"You're not bad, young man! Yes, there is indeed one over there. You have already mastered the skills! I think back then, my old man had to follow the seniors for a month before he could make a preliminary judgment! How did you discover it and become a self-taught one?" Lao Li was shocked.

Lingling also cast doubtful and curious eyes, even she didn't notice anything just now.

"Maybe it's because I'm naturally more observant."

…………

Gradually, as the three-person boat approached, the whole view of Shiyan Island came into view.

Just hearing the name, Ling Tianyu thought that this place was all made of rocks, with jagged rocks and an unobstructed view of the entire island, with little vegetation coverage. Facts have proved that Ling Tianyu is still too superficial.

Shiyan Island is not a desolate scene with strange rocks, but full of vitality and dense branches.

What is a little unusual is that the entire island is eerily quiet. Except for some occasional insects, there is no other sound, such as birds flapping their wings or snakes crossing the ground.

"I'm afraid this monster is really hungry and has eaten everything on the island." Lingling expressed her speculation.

"Those bugs are probably still very capable of reproducing, and the sea monster is not very interested in them, so there are still some individuals left."

"Let's go here!" Ling Tianyu took the initiative when he saw that the water depth at this time had already reached a level where ordinary people could go down.

"Going down any further may attract the attention of the demon. You stay here while I go up to explore the road and look for clues." "Okay!" Lingling nodded, handed Ling Tianyu a headset, and said, "Take this with you. Contact us in time when you discover anything, and don’t be reckless before you are sure of your opponent’s strength. Your legal system will be somewhat restricted in the seaside environment.”

"No problem!" Ling Tianyu took the headset and suddenly asked a question, "Can this thing have a signal in such a remote place?"

"This is a military device. I got it with great difficulty. Don't lose it!" Lingling said angrily.

…………

After Ling Tianyu disappeared, Lingling took out the notebook from the backpack she carried with her. After a while, the nearby terrain was clearly visible. The red dot on it was where Ling Tianyu was.

"This little girl is amazing!" After spending time together, Lao Li discovered that although this little girl looks young, her experience is no less than that of some experienced hunters.

…………

"Ling Tianyu, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice came from the headset.

"No problem!" Ling Tianyu agreed, looking around like an eagle, focusing on a dark rock.

The reef itself was nothing special, but it had a deep scratch mark on it!

The huge two-meter-high reef has three scratches from top to bottom, from top to center.

"Three-clawed...red demon?" This kind of demon left a deep impression on Ling Tianyu. In the original timeline, Mo Fan faced the leader-level individual of this kind of demon when he was training to eliminate demons in Feiniao City in the first battle—— Red crack demon.

The most distinctive feature of this kind of monster is their red appearance. Their ability to control water is outstanding, their claws are extremely sharp, and their combat effectiveness ranks among the best among sea monsters.

Well, the powder remaining at the bottom seems to be the product of the gastric acid vomited out by the suspected Red Ling Demon.

"Red Ling Yao? Ling Tianyu, did you find anything?" Lingling asked hurriedly.

"That's it..." Ling Tianyu explained his findings concisely.

"Your speculation is very reasonable. Creatures like the Red Ling Demon are also one of the demon species that give our hunters a headache. Once it dives into the water, water mages of the same level may not be able to catch up." Lingling nodded, affirming Ling Tianyu speculation.

"I also found something here. You said there should be a sunken valley in front of the corresponding place. There seems to be a small lake in it. The monster is probably hiding in it." Lingling reminded.

"By the way, one more thing. The approximate length of the scratch you found there, and guess its strength level. If it's a battle of general level or above, don't be greedy for credit."

"It's about one meter long. I estimate it should be at the level of a small warrior, not more than a medium warrior. This wave can be beaten!" Ling Tianyu said into the headset.

"Okay, if there's no problem, try to prevent it from diving into the sea, otherwise you won't be able to catch it anyway! Also, pay attention to its water control ability, so as not to be sneak-attacked!"

"Don't worry, I have a countermeasure!" Ling Tianyu was full of confidence and approached the central valley of Shiyan Island in the direction indicated by Lingling.
