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

Chapter 20: Deep into the Icefield, Giant Tusk Walrus
Lin Qianfan's eyes showed a strong desire.

"Good boy, are you really eager? I don't expect much. If you can become a second-level shipbuilder, our ancestors will be so proud!"

Myna knew that his cousin had good talent, and what was even more commendable was that his younger brother had found his own way at such a young age, so he believed that Lin Qianfan could achieve something.

"Second-level shipbuilder? I'll try my best."

In fact, from Lin Qianfan's perspective, this icebreaker was just that, more functional than combat-capable. Combined with the Fake Dan cultivator, it could barely be considered a rudimentary third-tier combat capability, but since it lacked the flexibility of a third-tier cultivator, it could only be considered a near-third-tier combat capability.

It can only be used in this northern ice field, bullying creatures below level three. It is considered a good economic operator, but it is far from being a powerful warship.

At the peak of his previous life, Lin Qianfan was fully capable of building this most common third-order ship from scratch, so the Lin family will definitely be able to own this type of ship in the future, and they will no longer have to depend on the Zhang family.

However, you should not talk big without thinking, especially since walls have ears. An unintentional outrageous remark may bring disaster.

"Let's set sail~"

"Set sail~"

"Start~"

The agreed time has arrived. All the monster-hunting ships that were supposed to arrive have arrived, and those that haven't arrived can no longer wait. The large fleet is heading towards the ice field in an orderly manner.

The Shield Mountain ship took the lead, like the tip of a spear.

hum~
As soon as the ice-breaking formation on the bow of the ship was activated, the cyan-gold light immediately attached to the huge thick blade on the bow of the ship, and then used its powerful power and tough body to easily break the "fragile" ice layer.

Click, click, click～～～
The ice layer that was unable to hold on was easily broken into pieces, and the Shield Mountain ship drove straight in, moving steadily and firmly towards the depths of the ice field.

Following closely behind were the Zhang family's second-level monster-hunting ships and other monster-hunting ships belonging to the Zhang family, totaling more than 30 ships. They not only had the right to choose the hunting area first but also had the responsibility to further deepen the icebreaking.

"Let's go too. Keep in formation and be careful of any encounters!"

The Third Master waved his hand and commanded the small fleet of the Yulong Islands to follow in the middle of the large fleet, neither ahead nor behind.

As a Jindan force, the Lin family has the qualifications for this ranking.

The area of the northern ice field is very large, and the ice will become more fragile as time goes by. By then, everyone will definitely go their separate ways, and then it will depend on the hunting ability of the small fleet itself.

Therefore, there are rarely problems with fleets competing for hunting areas. The gap between those in front and those behind will not be too big. It’s just that people’s status determines their actions, and the Jindan forces must have the appearance of a Jindan.

Winter is almost over in the past two days. The temperature in the air is rising, and the ice layer is becoming more and more fragile. The monsters that have been hiding in the ice fields in winter are also hungry and need to come out to find food.

A day later, in a broken ice area on the northern ice sheet.

A second-level white-feathered raven with a wide wingspan descended from the sky, easily crossed the hunting ship formation, and entered the Wind Chaser.

"Bai Yu has discovered: There is an independent group of second-level monsters in the northwest, of small to medium size."

"Confirm the target, change direction, and move closer!"

The fleet had been traveling slowly for several hours following the Shield Mountain ship, and now they had reached the inner area of the ice field where the glaciers were scattered, so the large fleet was divided into several small fleets, and everyone was hunting on their own.

Led by three second-level spirit beasts, the small fleet of the Yulong Islands is constantly searching for suitable second-level monster groups to hunt. The efficiency is not low, and the harvest is quite good so far.

But eight boats wouldn't yield much per person, so they needed to keep searching for high-value, second-tier monsters. A quarter of an hour later, everyone saw the monster group Bai Yu had mentioned.

"A fairly large herd of giant tusk walruses. Not bad. This kind of monster is quite valuable. We can recycle a lot of refining materials and flesh and blood."

The value of prey is not only determined by its rank, but also by its specific race. The value gap between monsters of the same rank can even be several times as large.

"Is it the giant tusked walrus beneath the Fury's ship?"

During the time they were traveling together, Lin Qianfan had vaguely seen more than once a second-level walrus-like monster with two long fangs looming under the Fury ship of Yulong Fairy City.

"Yes, I heard that the Level 2 Raging Tusk aboard the Fury is a young giant tusk walrus captured on this ice field over a hundred years ago. This type of monster has quite good overall combat capabilities in the sea, a short growth cycle, and is extremely loyal once contracted, so its young are quite valuable."

After finding the target, the eight boats were divided into groups of two, dispersed, and headed towards the target group of monsters to surround them.

“Puff puff puff~~”

The three giant-tusked elephants in the monster group were quite alert. They spotted the fleet approaching from a long distance. They might have chosen to escape, but a large number of their first-level compatriots could not escape, so they had no choice but to fight head-on.

"Puff puff…"

However, to everyone's surprise, in addition to the three visible second-level Raging Tusk Elephants, three more second-level Raging Tusk Elephants emerged from the sea ice. They roared and roared in unison, trying to drive away this group of ill-intentioned foreign enemies.

"Huh? This monster group actually has six Raging Tusks? Then why is the leader of the monster group only at the beginning of the middle stage of the second level? And the number of first-level Tusk Walruses doesn't match at all."

The groups of demon beasts living in groups often follow a pyramid structure. How much resources can support how much combat power, and how many first-level monsters can give birth to how many second-level monsters. An imbalance in the proportion is not a good thing. Lin Qianfan noticed that the density of the second-level monsters in this group was a little too high.

If we infer from the number of first-level giant-tusk walruses, the number of second-level giant-tusk elephants should be around three to four, which is a huge difference from six.

If we analyze it from the perspective of the six second-level Raging Tusks, their leader should be in the late second level, which is inconsistent with the early middle second level.

Two doubts.

"Is there something wrong? Aren't there six second-level monsters? Perhaps they encountered some kind of misfortune before and haven't adjusted yet."

"In any case, this small to medium-sized second-level monster group is futile in front of eight monster hunting ships."

Although the small fleet only has eight ships, in addition to the combat capabilities of these eight second-level monster-hunting ships themselves, there are also sixteen foundation-building combat forces, so they are not afraid of the large number of enemies. Even if the number of the Raging Tusk Elephants doubles, it will not change the final outcome.

"Charge the Psionic Cannon/Monster Hunting Fork!"

"Be on guard in case there are other second-level monsters. Our target is the first-level giant tusk walrus. We must fight quickly and decisively."

Jiu Ye, dressed in white and behaved very skillfully, took the initiative to walk out of the captain's room and began to command the battle of the Sea Hunters.

Puff puff～～
The Raging Tusks were very angry when they found that these invaders ignored their warnings and even tried to speed up and approach their tribe. They immediately began to attack the demon-hunting ship.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh～～

The overwhelming icicles attacked the fastest and most advanced ships, the Hunter, the Wind Chaser and the Fury, but this level of magic attack was simply unable to break through the defensive formations of the medium and large monster hunting ships.

"Turn the rudder, let's go directly to hunt the first-level monster!"
