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

Chapter 21 Efficient Hunting, Abnormal Reaction

Each ship has a different mission. Some ships are powerful and have clear goals, heading straight for the second-level monsters.

As the bottom character, the Sea Hunter naturally goes to hunt first-level monsters very consciously. Anyway, the final spoils will be distributed reasonably, so he just needs to play his role well.

"The giant tusk walrus grows quickly and has a good reproductive capacity. If you encounter a juvenile that hasn't reached its stage, you can capture it."

"Yes!"

As soon as the Sea Hunter approached the ice where the Tusk Walrus herd was hiding, the psychic cannon began to bombard them at a low power but non-stop rate, shattering their shelters, dispersing the herd, and defeating the resisting individuals, facilitating further harvesting.

The naval guns are leveled and crushing!
"All ships attack!"

Soon, the scene became a nearly one-sided hunt. The fleet not only hunted the second-tier Raging Tusks, but also slaughtered the mid-to-late-tier first-tier tusks, and captured their young, leaving only the early-tier and some mid-tier first-tier individuals, which were of little value, spared.

Humans and demons cannot coexist!
The boatmen naturally didn't feel guilty about bullying. Judging from the overall situation in the Storm Ocean, the human race was actually at a disadvantage. These monsters looked weak, pitiful, and helpless only because they weren't strong enough, because they weren't considered demons. True demons held great hostility toward humans, and the two sides' positions were almost irreconcilable.

There is no way. The world is only so big and there are only so many fixed resources. If you want your own race to develop well, you will inevitably harm other races. This is the inevitable course of history.

"Gengjin Sword Technique: Sharp Gold Slash!"

Every hunt is a good opportunity to improve oneself, and Lin Qianfan will naturally not waste such a practical opportunity.

"Ding ~"

The injured first-stage late walrus successfully caught Lin Qianfan's attack with its hard fangs and even tried to fight back.

"Well done!"

The strength of this kind of enemy is just right. It is dangerous and challenging, but it is within a controllable range and can help to temper yourself.

"Fire Wall!"

"Sword thrust!"

A castrated fire technique followed closely by sword technique output.

"scoff~"

The golden sword successfully pierced through the wound of the tusked walrus, and the sharp Gengjin sword energy began to violently destroy the opponent's flesh.

Puff puff～～
The walrus screamed and tried to turn its head and swing its fangs in a desperate counterattack, but Lin Qianfan stepped lightly, used his body skills to avoid it in advance and drew out his sword, causing its blood to spurt out uncontrollably.

The massive loss of blood made the already injured tusk walrus feel infinite fear. It tried to escape and wanted to find an ice hole to drill into the seabed, but Lin Qianfan would never let it do so.

"Earth Spike Talisman!"

The sudden ground spikes restrained the sluggish walrus monster. Lin Qianfan arrived first and used all his strength to urge the black iron sword to pierce the brain of the motionless walrus monster, completely finishing it off.

"This is the first time I've killed a late-stage first-tier opponent independently. Although it's not at its peak, I've gained a lot."

This kind of advantageous battle uses covering operations. Each boatman only needs to deal with targets weaker than himself to ensure that the losses are controllable. Lin Qianfan took the risk to fight against the enemy just to take this opportunity to verify the results of his training in recent months.

"Hurry up and pack up. We shouldn't be away from the ship for too long."

Uncle Gui, who was not particularly interested in hunting operations, followed behind Lin Qianfan to prevent him from getting into any accidents.

"Okay, come on."

The main forces in this battle are the foundation-building monks and the demon-hunting ship itself. The Qi-refining monks are more responsible for finishing off the enemies and cleaning up the battlefield, so there will basically be no casualties.

Before long, this hunt, marked by a significant disparity in overall strength, came to a close. The six second-tier Raging Tusks were successively dispatched by the Stalker, Wind Chaser, and Fury. The remaining large number of first-tier walruses were also eliminated by the remaining five ships.

"This hunting efficiency is really high! Is this how the Storm Ocean survives and produces?"

In the previous life, the Great Qin Dynasty was a powerful and eternal dynasty. Although it would go into the mountains and the sea to hunt for various monsters and resources, its resource conditions were far inferior to those in the Storm Ocean. Therefore, the Great Qin Dynasty did not rely on hunting to obtain resources, but relied more on producing resources/exploiting the surplus value of the labor of the middle and lower-level cultivators to maintain the operation of the dynasty's machine.

But the production method on the Storm Ocean is completely different. There are a large number of undeveloped and unknown sea areas in the Storm Ocean. Even in the inland sea of the Thousand Stars Western Region, there are many underdeveloped sea areas. For example, the northern ice field only comes for hunting once a year, which is like scraping it, and it does not reach the level of destroying the ecology.

Therefore, hunting external resources to support themselves has become an important source of resources for all forces in the Storm Ocean.

Even a peaceful force like Yanglongwan, whose main source of income is rent collection, planting, breeding, gathering, management and shipping, cannot avoid going out to sea to hunt monsters.

The Lin family of Yanglong Bay has a total of only about 500 members, and the boatmen of the two hunting boats account for nearly 100 people. This shows that the proportion of hunting income in the Lin family is not low, and it is even an important industry.

"Qianfan, would you like to pick a cub? It's free today!"

"Thank you, class owner. I have no plans to contract a spirit beast for the time being. I will consider it when I reach the late stage of Qi Refining."

Lin Qianfan, who has already thought through the interests involved, will not be blinded by the short-term benefits in front of him. What is the difference between choosing the wrong spirit beast partner and going astray?
"Okay, it's best if you have your own plan."

Gaga~

After completing a hunt and a simple rest and replenishment, the fleet, led by Bai Yu, headed towards the next target.

Four days later.

The fleet that had already traded supplies on the Shield Mountain ship found another good target. When they got closer, they saw that it was another group of medium-sized giant-tusked walruses.

"Huh? Why is there another herd of giant tusk walruses? Where did so many giant tusk walruses come from this year? How many are they?"

After a quick calculation, this is the fifth group of second-level giant tusk walruses encountered in the past few days. This is just the encounter of the Ichthyosaur Islands fleet. If the harvests of other fleets are added, the number of giant tusk walruses this year is seriously exceeded.

Three quarters of an hour later, the same battle situation as before was replicated in this group of seven second-level Raging Tusk Elephants.

Pupu~

The Raging Tusk elephants beneath the Fury's ship were acting unusually uneasy.

"Old man, what's wrong?"

The captain of the Fury tried to comfort his inexplicably uneasy spirit beast companion and communicate with its emotions.

Second-level monsters already have divine consciousness. Although the intelligence levels of monsters of different races are different, they can basically communicate through divine consciousness or contracts and can fully express their emotions.

"A feeling of fear? A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of fear?"

The captain of the Fury was surprised. The master and servant had been together for more than a hundred years and had fought together many times, but the old friend rarely showed such emotions.

"Oh hey, Brother Yan, something's wrong! Giant Tooth has been feeling unwell for four days, and today his abnormal mood has become more serious. I suspect there is potential danger in this sea area."

Spirit beast companions raised by humans since childhood, especially those species with high loyalty, will not feel guilty for killing monsters of the same kind. After all, even within the monster group, there will be infighting and slaughter. Besides, this is not the first time it has participated in hunting, and its abnormality is definitely not due to the monster hunting itself.

Therefore, the emotions it expresses through the contract are highly credible.

"Blood Hunter and White Feather didn't feel anything unusual. Could it be related to the giant tusk walrus tribe?"
