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

Chapter 52: Red Giant Scale Migration, Sea and Sky Feast
"…The important thing is that our Lin family's demon-hunting ship is honest and trustworthy. We have already agreed to sell this cargo to Deacon Yang. Deacon Wu, please don't make things difficult for us."

Sea hunters have their own principles, and the team leader has his own confidence. After seeing that the other party was not giving in, the team leader's tone became much tougher.

"However, it's so early in the morning, and I feel bad for bothering Fellow Daoist Wu to make such a wasted trip. So, I'll give these two baskets of spirit fish to Fellow Daoist Wu to try."

"Lin family? Which Lin family?"

Wu Laoba came to his senses and realized that the conversation and confidence of this group of people were really different from those he usually interacted with.

"The Lin family of the Yulong Islands!"

"Excuse me, Old Wu, for being so rude. How dare I take your fish? Consider it my purchase. How about twenty spirit stones for these two baskets of fish?"

When Wu Laoba heard that it was the Lin family of the Yulong Islands, his face changed, and his originally unhappy expression immediately turned into flattering. He immediately expressed his willingness to buy the two baskets of spirit fish at double the price.

If he offended the Lin family because of him, he would be in big trouble if he was blamed by the higher-ups. After all, the Lin family and the Yunshang Alliance had a deep cooperation, and he was just a small fry and was really insignificant.

"No need. If I say it's a gift to a fellow Taoist, then it's a gift to a fellow Taoist."

Although the power of the team leader is similar to that of the deacon, both of them are in the late stage of Qi Refining and are involved in the management of specific matters, the Yulong Islands have a small population and a streamlined organization. The team leader of the monster hunting ship is an important member of the Lin family and has a higher status.

But it is different in the Wu family. The Wu family has spread too wide, and a marginal deacon like Wu Lao Ba really has no say in the Wu family. There are dozens of foundation-building cultivators in the Wu family alone, and all kinds of monsters and demons are blocking the way. Wu Lao Ba is nothing.

So when he learned that this strange monster-hunting ship belonged to the Lin family, his attitude changed drastically, and he immediately forgot the idea of suppressing the Yang family.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Lin. My apologies!"

Yang Changshu, who had just been suppressed by Wu Laoba's aura and dared not say a word, now added his remarks after the fact.

"Let's not talk about that and settle the bill."

The class owner directly interrupted the unnecessary negotiations.

The Lin family had realized that the order in Haikou Market was far worse than that in Yunyan Fairy City, and the four major families within the Yunshang League were also in constant conflict and disharmony.

"It seems that it's better to come less often or not at all to Haikou Market in the future. It would be better to go to Yunyan Fairy City more often."

The Lin family is out to make money and doesn't want to offend anyone, let alone get involved in disputes with other forces.

Whether it was Yang Changshu or Wu Laoba whom we met this time, they were both insignificant little figures in the Yunshang League, but what if we met someone with some abilities?

At that time, he can only break his own principles in order not to cause trouble to the family, but life is a breath, what future can a person who always breaks his own principles have?
The best way is to stay away from this garbage market.

In the following days, the sea hunters continued to work according to the same hunting rhythm.

If you ask what has changed, it is that there are more and more seabirds, and the stronger ones are more common among them. There are also more and more monsters that can't help but eat underwater.

Therefore, the time period taken by the Sea Hunter to load a boat full of prey was shorter this time, and the total selling price was also higher. However, this time he did not go to the Haikou market to sell the prey, but dragged his net all the way to Yunyan Fairy City to sell it, in order to avoid contact with bad people.

A quick comparison shows that the purchase prices of some prey have begun to decline.

Affected by supply and demand, the closer it gets to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the cheaper the prices of these things become. His reasoning is that ordinary monster-hunting ships do not have the third-level storage capacity and must be sold at a low price.

However, even if they lower the price, there has to be a limit. The monster hunting ships must still feel that they are making a lot of money. Otherwise, they can get a lot of rewards anywhere in this autumn harvest season, and there is no need to come to Yunshang Secret Island to suffer.

A few days later, early autumn passed and Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

"According to past records, schools of red giant scale fish from different sea areas would arrive one after another during these few days in previous years, and that was when the real harvest time came." Even if the boat is fully loaded, the difference between valuable prey and worthless prey may be several times greater. Naturally, the prey hunted during the migration of red giant scale fish is more valuable.

"Ding Ding Ding~~~"

"A school of giant fish is approaching. Judging by the reaction waves, it looks like a giant red scale... Lots of reaction waves. A large number of sirens are entering the scene."

"Look, it's so lively over there!"

First, the formation reacted, and then there was a violent movement on the sea surface in the distance visible to the naked eye.

"Come closer, quick!"

The area of Haikou is large enough, more than a hundred miles long and wide from north to south. The formation of the monster hunting ship is far from enough to detect such a large range, but the monks' vision range is very far in clear weather.

In particular, Jiu Ye's eyes can monitor most of the sea estuary. As long as the movement is big enough and the distance is not too far, the Sea Hunter can be pulled over.

"Confirmed, it's a school of giant red giant scale fish!"

Compared with other spirit fish, red giant scale fish are much larger, and contain much more spiritual energy and blood per unit volume, so they are the first choice for hunting by various powerful monsters and are the prey that sirens have been looking forward to for a year.

"Everyone in position, hunting at full speed!"

The environment at the confluence of fresh water and sea water at the estuary changes dramatically. This is nothing for monsters, but it is a drastic change for unintelligent spiritual fish, so they need time to adapt.

During this period of gradual adaptation, various predators in the sea will take action, and the fish will be forced to the surface of the sea. At this time, large birds and beasts with certain strength in the sky will come down one after another, and all parties will work together to hold a feast of sea and sky!
"Target the valuable prey. Time is limited. Don't drag up some trash. Understand?"

The sea hunters have a clear division of labor. The old boatmen with high cultivation and strong spirits basically control the monster hunting forks to hunt large sea monsters in the sea, while the other new boatmen with poor strength are mainly responsible for using monster hunting crossbows to target large birds and beasts in the sky.

Why do we emphasize the large size?
Because there were also many small guys sneaking in to steal the spoils of food at this feast.

They may not have the strength to catch a giant red scale from a school of fish, and may not even be able to defeat an adult giant red scale alone, but they can pick up the leftovers that other monsters don't want.

That’s right, lots of leftovers!

Monsters are not fools. Powerful monsters are very picky about food. When they catch a giant red scale, they only eat the fattest part of the fish's belly, and most of the rest of the fish will be discarded directly!
These powerful individuals are the targets of the major monster-hunting ships.

Wow~

The sea surface was boiling, and the giant red scale was forced from the bottom of the sea to the surface. After finding that the sea surface was unsafe, it wanted to return to the bottom of the sea, and the water became a pot of boiling water with waves splashing everywhere.

However, if someone has the leisure to observe the fish school carefully, they will find that there are many very strong individuals in the school who are also taking the opportunity to eat.

When they leap up, they will swallow birds and beasts that are not big enough. When they sink, they will work together to eat the sirens that are accidentally injured and bleeding. It seems that all species work together to eat the school of red giant scale fish, but aren't a large number of ordinary red giant scales protecting a small number of individuals to complete their metamorphosis?
The boiling did not last long. After an organ in the giant red scale successfully adapted to the warm fresh water, only large fish remained of the original giant school.

Born to swim fast, they soon burst out at the fastest speed in their lives and broke through upstream.

They are eager to leave, and few monsters can keep them, unless a second-level monster that is good at controlling water appears and can keep most of them.

"Is this the end?"

It was the first time for some Lin family members to participate in this kind of race against time game, and it ended before they had enough fun.

"It's over. If we don't stop this, the entire fish population will be wiped out."
