Chapter 285: Out to Sea
And now just a few more words of kindness, the guest rewarded the equivalent of 2 years' salary of the spirit stone, if the steward of the sailboat knew, and thought that he was blackmailing the guest, he didn't know how to die.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, little girl, you can accept it boldly, what you said is indeed worthy of their gratitude to you, if anyone dares to embarrass you for this, you let him come to me."
Xue Lao smiled on the side, letting the little girl accept the spirit stone with peace of mind, and promised that it would be fine.
With Xue Lao's assurance, the little girl happily put away the spirit stone. These little girls are not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and their cultivation is not high, they are generally only in the early stage of martial arts, and ten medium-grade spirit stones are enough for her to buy cultivation resources for several years. However, there is no way, Han Luojiang and the lowest ones on their bodies are all medium-grade spirit stones.
After settling Xue Lao and the others, the little girl jumped off the boat and continued her work.
At noon, all the sailboats moored in the harbor were full of passengers, and when the time came to depart, every sailboat pulled up its sails and sailed out to sea.
For a while, the sail shadow floated, and it was really a thousand sails, and they went to sea one after another. The sailing ships of Sendao Castle only go to and from Senji Island once every 4 months.
The island-like sails, the ship pulled up ten large sails, like an arrow off the string, breaking through the azure sea, stirring up waves, and heading towards the depths of the sea with the wind.
The speed of the big sail is much faster than that of the medium and small sails, and it will not be long before they are far behind. As the voyage drifted farther away, the majestic and majestic Xiandao City slowly turned into a shadow with only a vague outline in the eyes of the people who sailed away.
After sailing in the sea for 5 days, I could no longer see a trace of land, and there was sea water as far as the eye could see, and only in the extreme distance could I barely see one or two sails of Xiandao City sailing on the sea. Ten days later, even the sails were no longer visible, but the route to Xianji Island was fixed, and the sailboats would eventually converge on Xianji Island.
In the first two days of going to sea, Han Yu and the three of them were a little unaccustomed to life at sea, although the sail was very huge, but after all, they were sailing on the sea, and they were always affected by the waves and shook a little, not as stable as on land. However, they cultivated to become strong and quickly adapted to it.
How many thousands of miles away from Immortal Island City is there? From Xiandao City, it takes a month's flight to reach Xianji Island. Once the sailboat docks, it stays for a month before returning, during which time the monks who are looking for treasures on the island of Xianyu want to leave, they get on board and wait for the sailboat to return.
Life on the sea is single and boring, and after Han Yu and the three of them went out to sea with great interest to appreciate the scenery that the little girl said, they found that when the wind and waves were calm, these scenery were basically the same, and there were no changes and novelties, so they no longer had any interest in watching.
"Attention passengers! We have entered the extreme depths of the sea, and the sea ahead will be the most dangerous part of the voyage, and there may be powerful sea beasts attacking our sailboats. Although the sailboat is protected by the fairy array, in order to ensure safety and prevent accidents, please stay in your room quietly and do not move around. ”
After sailing for half a month, an old voice suddenly sounded throughout the sailboat.
After the old voice, some of the monks who were chatting and watching the scenery in their cabins or on the deck, as if they knew exactly what was about to happen, returned to their rooms.
And the crew working on the sailboat are busy one by one, moving things and setting up arrows. None of these crew members were below the Golden Body Realm.
It didn't take long for a huge bow and crossbow like a carriage to be set up every 30 zhang on the left and right sides of the big sail, and the bowstrings the size of thumbs were pulled apart, and the huge arrows made of black iron were ready to be devoured by the 3 zhang long arms.
This is a mountain-breaking crossbow that can shoot five miles away and can penetrate rocks up to a hundred meters deep, with terrifying attack power. However, this kind of bow and crossbow has a huge flaw, that is, it is cumbersome, and each time it is fired, it requires the joint efforts of 3 Golden Body Realm and one Hanging Realm monk to pull the arrow from the new string.
If this kind of bow and crossbow is used against a monk with high cultivation and flexible skills, it will not be very useful, but it is a first-class good weapon when used against sea monsters.
At this time, Han Yu and the others gathered in Xue Lao's room, looking out of the sea through the transparent window. On the endless sea, the last moment it was still calm, but the next moment, 30 miles in front of the big sail channel, there were suddenly rolling waves.
"Sit down, passengers, for a sea beast is about to attack our sailboat. But don't panic, stay in your room, we'll shoot the sea beasts that come in. ”
The old voice was heard throughout the sailing space at the moment when the waves formed.
As soon as the words fell, in the center of the waves, several large sea beasts more than ten zhang long jumped out of the water, the sea beast was gray and black, the mouth was extraordinarily long, three zhang long, and rows of jagged sharp teeth emitting cold light could be seen in the open mouth.
"Damn, this is the Sawtooth Swordfish, one of the overlords of the seas, who loves to attack the sailing ships it encounters. Very ferocious, often chasing you for days on end and attacking non-stop. I didn't expect to encounter such a ferocious sea beast. ”
The old crew members who often went to sea immediately realized that they had encountered the sea beast, and they immediately became nervous.
"Hehe, although this swordfish is fierce, but the meat is extremely delicious, looking at the size of their jumping on the water, they are only level 8 spirit beasts at most, and they can't threaten us, you can hunt a few to fight the tooth sacrifice. I hope there won't be a fairy-level king of fish. ”
Some of the old crew members didn't forget to joke.
The speed of these swordfish was very fast, and in less than half a pillar of incense, they were already close to the bow of the big sail, and their spear-like long beaks were holding back their strength and rushing straight over, as if they wanted to pierce the big sail in one go.
"Aim! Preparation...... Put! ”
Under the command of a steward, several mountain-breaking crossbows approached the bow of the ship, each aimed at a swordfish and fired a giant arrow.
"Huh"
At a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, several black rays of light shot out from the side of the ship, accurately hitting the head of each swordfish, and instantly piercing the fish's head, causing these level 8 spirit beasts to die instantly.
"Pull back!"
The shouting was finally heard from the steward, and immediately a crew member fished next to the bow and crossbow, pulling a thin string back with all his might. Originally, each long arrow had a small cow tendon tied to the end of the arrow, so that when the arrow was shot, it could be recovered through the thin cow tendon and reused.
After all, the metal required to refine a long arrow like this is very expensive, and it takes a lot of time, and the amount of money spent to refine this kind of heavy weapon that has great lethality to immortal monks is not ordinarily large, so the stock of long arrows on each sail is not very good, and those that can be recovered will be recovered as much as possible.
"Bump, bump, bump"
As the crew pulled back the arrows, several loud crashes came from under the water, and the island-like sails shook a little.
"Left string 5, 7, 9 bows; 6, 8, 10 bows on the right string; Aim, put! Shoot the swordfish. ”
"The other bows and crossbows are always ready to shoot the swordfish that have slipped through the net and come to the attack; The 20 crossbows on the back string are commanded by the water steward! ”
The steward who had just commanded the shooting of the swordfish was attacked by the second group of attacking swordfish, and immediately arranged a way to deal with it, commanding the bow and crossbow to shoot the sea beast.
Dafan was originally built with 10,000-year-old ironwood, which was very hard, plus the immortal array master carved a large number of immortal array lines, and the defense power was added, these swordfish that were not at the level of immortal beasts, although the attacks were frequent, but they did not penetrate the hull of Dafan, but only caused a lot of shock.
However, the speed of these swordfish is indeed fast enough, except for the first few unlucky ones who were shot at the first time, the swordfish that came were very smart, only a limited number of three or two were affected by the impact of the impact, and their reactions were a little slow to be shot, and the other swordfish avoided the shot of the bow and crossbow.
