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

Chapter 54: Humans are also part of the food chain

Although Haikou is huge, there are also many second-level monster hunting ships that come here to hunt monsters, so it is normal for other ships and sea hunters to target the same target.

Apart from those that gave up due to being too far away or for other reasons, there were four monster hunting ships, including the Sea Hunter, that immediately headed towards the second-level crab monster.
Among them, the only small silver-painted demon-hunting ship came from behind but arrived first, moving at full speed and overtaking three ships in a row to take first place.

That boat was different from the other monster-hunting boats that were being observed cautiously. They were almost sprinting at full speed towards the location where the second-level crab monster was controlling the water and eating.

"Whose fool is this, so reckless?"

"Master Jiu..."

"Don't be in a hurry. Follow slowly and make sure there are no other monsters around first. As for the crab monster, it doesn't belong to whoever gets there first, but to whoever hunts it."

Just as the Sea Hunter was gradually detecting whether there were any other potential dangers in the surrounding waters, the other party's spirit ship sent a direct message.

"Hello, fellow Taoists in the back. I'm Wu Haoan from the Wu family. My father will be celebrating his 300th birthday soon. As his son, I've been having trouble picking out a good gift. I think this Red-Armored Red Claw would be a good choice. My father would be very happy if he knew I could hunt a second-level monster on my own. I hope you will give me some face."

The other party quickly said a series of words and continued to speed away without waiting for the Sea Hunter to reply, taking it as the Sea Hunter's consent.

"It's the Wu family again, Master Jiu..."

Jiu Ye was speechless. Although he didn't know who the other party's father was, it was extremely rare for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to be alive at the age of 300. It was very likely that he was a Fake Dan cultivator or even a Golden Dan cultivator.

This person already has great power and is definitely not a small fry like Wu Lao Ba.

"Retreat. It's better not to create a grudge. Make a copy and seal the contents of the previous communication. In an unfamiliar place, peace is the most important thing."

"Yes!"

Although the opponent is only a small monster-hunting ship, this is their home ground. Sometimes it is a good choice to retreat while the tide is rising. The other two monster-hunting ships have made the same choice.

Although second-level monsters are valuable, they also require risks. Although other prey are cheap, they are safe and there is no need to offend anyone else for them.

"Boom~"

The silver ship rushed forward and began to attack fiercely as soon as it approached the home territory of the Red Armor and Red Claws.

Since they were already here and had nothing to do anyway, the three boats just watched the other side's combat methods from a distance to see if there was anything they could learn from.

After all, hunting second-level monsters in other times and other places is a very private matter, and other people will not be allowed to watch easily.

goo~
The rare opportunity to eat was maliciously interrupted by an unexpected visitor. The highly aggressive red-armored red claws immediately shifted their target and attacked the silver ship.

"Well done, watch out!"

The behavior of the red-armored crab monster was exactly what the owner of the silver ship wanted. A man immediately flew out of the silver ship and fought fiercely with the second-level crab monster, while the silver ship stood aside and watched the battle.

goo~
The Red Armor and Red Claws originally came to hunt the first-level Red Giant Scale, but now it has found a more tempting prey.

For monsters, foundation-building cultivators are a great tonic.

"this…"

In principle, the captain should not go out to fight if the enemy does not threaten the safety of the monster hunting ship.

You should first use the demon-hunting ship to negotiate with the enemy and consume their energy. The captain should wait for the critical moment to launch a sneak attack, striving to hit the target with one blow or even decide the outcome with one blow. At the very least, you should lure the target away, and then split into two combat units with your own spirit ship to fight together.

There is absolutely no way a captain would take the initiative to go out of the ship to fight alone at the beginning, leaving the monster hunting ship to watch and not help. Is this such a trivial way?
On the silver ship.

"Young Master Jiu is amazing. He's so young and can fight a second-level monster on his own. It won't be difficult for him to achieve the Golden Core in the future."

A boatman who was holding a photo bead to record the Ninth Young Master's heroic fighting posture praised him without caring whether the other party could hear him or not.

"Of course. The young master has already become the captain of a monster-hunting ship in his early twenties. It is not impossible for him to become the supreme elder, deputy leader, or even the leader of the Yunshang League in the future."

Once someone takes the lead in praising, others will follow suit, whether actively or passively.

There's no way around it. If you praise Young Master Ninth well, you may not get a reward, but if you don't praise him well, it will definitely reach Young Master Ninth's ears, and then it won't be fun.

"Okay, okay, come again!"

The young Ninth Young Master had not been in the foundation-building stage for long, but his equipment was very luxurious. His offensive and defensive spiritual weapons were all of excellent quality among the lower-grade second-level. With the help of his equipment, he fought against the Red Armor and Red Claw on equal terms.

However, this was only a superficial match. The Red Armor and Red Claws stayed in the water, fighting when they wanted and fleeing when they didn't, essentially making them invincible. After dozens of rounds, the Ninth Young Master began to clear his head and realized the problem. He found that his attacks were unable to penetrate the opponent's defense or drag him out of the sea, and he could only dodge the opponent's attacks, not even a single one.

There's no point in delaying any further!

“Try this…”

Just when the Ninth Young Master was about to take out his trump card to decide the outcome.

Click~

The hard shell of the second-level crab monster, which was originally as stable as a rock, suddenly shattered, and the crushed meat and blood splashed together. A huge sticky tentacle sneaked out of the sea, broke through the belly of the red-armored crab monster and pierced it directly.

"Evil beast..."

When the Ninth Young Master saw his prey being snatched away by an unexpected visitor, he became angry instinctively and even roared before retreating.

"not good…"

By the time he realized that the strength of the person coming was beyond his ability to deal with, it was already too late. Several huge tentacles surrounded the Ninth Young Master from multiple directions, who wanted to fly upwards, but it was too late.

"Tianleizi!"

Boom~
The huge lightning bombardment injured several giant tentacles, but the injuries were not fatal to them.

Soon, other tentacles shot out and wrapped around the Ninth Young Master, who was injured and defenseless by the explosion, and dragged him into the sea.

"Ninth Young Master!"

There are not many serious sailors on the silver ship. Most of them are flatterers and uneducated generations of the Wu family. They don't have any strong on-the-spot reaction ability.

"What should we do? If the Ninth Young Master dies, we will be skinned alive by his parents..."

"I don't know... Start the boat, run away!!!!"

The giant beast did not seem satisfied after successfully hunting two second-level preys, and continued to move towards the silver ship, wanting to skin open this big guy that also exuded a second-level aura and taste it.

"It's over, let's go."

The Sea Hunter, which watched the entire battle, did not choose to rescue, or it could be said that the Sea Hunter did not have the ability to rescue.

The mysterious giant beast was much larger than the Mo Yuan Demon Seal. It must be a late second-order sea beast. Such an existence was not something that Jiu Ye, who had just entered the fourth level of foundation building, could challenge.

Unless it is the Third Master, other ships should choose to escape as soon as they encounter it.

"Its skin is red, but it looks like the Mo Yuan Demon Seal, yet it doesn't look like it. What kind of monster is that?"

"Giant Squid! A sea beast with a high bloodline level."

The actions of the other two ships were exactly the same as those of the Sea Hunters. When the giant squid emerged from the sea and grabbed the foundation-building monks on the silver ship, they chose to retreat immediately and return to the Haikou area.

The water in Haikou area is not deep, and the human scent is extremely strong. Generally, sirens with higher intelligence will not rashly enter.

Otherwise, it is easy to come in but difficult to leave.

boom~
boom~
The giant squid's giant tentacles charged towards the silver ship formation and attacked without any spells. The second-stage late-stage giant beast relied solely on its flesh and blood strength to peel off its "eggshell" in a few rounds and began to enjoy the snack.

"this…"

Most of the boatmen on the Sea Hunter had never seen such a scene before. It was completely different from the situation where they easily hunted various monsters on a daily basis. The contrast was strong and shocking.

"Isn't it shocking?"

"Although the human race is more intelligent than other races and is better at using external objects, this spirit ship, for example, is one of the achievements of human civilization."

"But the human race is still far from reaching the state of transcendence. We are essentially no different from these spiritual fish, birds, beasts, and sea monsters."

"We are all part of the vast sea, a link in the food chain of the Storm Ocean, and a mayfly in the ocean."

“Respect the sea!”
