As the crew members hid in, Qian Yunsheng stood in the middle of the trap that had been set. In the seemingly ordinary deck around him, he had already prepared countless plant seeds of various colors, and they were all hidden in the dark.
Although the battles during this period were unusually frequent, it also made him think more and more about how to use the favorable terrain on the ship to design traps. It can be said that now every corner and corner of the ship has been decorated by him like an iron bucket.
In his consciousness, a group of shadows moved closer and closer very quickly. This shadow was like an evil beast that was about to stretch out its claws and reveal its ferocious face the next second.
"Come on!" Qian Yunsheng shouted secretly.
He was even vaguely excited. He had accumulated a lot of demon cores during this period. If he could still win this one, he would be able to collect almost thirty of them.
"哐, 哐, 哐~"
Before the monster could get close to the ship, it released a series of water waves to attack, causing the ship to spin around.
"He can actually attack with long-range magic!" Qian Yunsheng narrowed his eyes.
Although he still couldn't see clearly what kind of monster it was in his spiritual consciousness, the monster's ability cast a shadow over his heart, and he thought to himself: "It looks like it's going to be a tough battle!"
The monster beast found that the opponent did not react at all to his water wave attack, and continued to swim closer carefully.
"coax!"
Before the monster beast could react, Qian Yunsheng quietly let the vines on the boat pull the "swift" wooden handle, and two thick water waves shot out from the stern of the boat, leading the ship to escape far away.
Escape with a sea ship was also one of the tactics he devised. Several times he encountered cautious monsters who refused to board the ship. Therefore, letting the sea ship escape far away is also a way to lure the monster to the bait.
Sure enough, as the ship moved, the shadow of the monster beast finally revealed its true form in Qian Yunsheng's consciousness.
It was probably also angry that the food it was interested in dared to escape, so it swaggered out of the sea, jumped suddenly, and rushed towards the direction of the ship's escape.
"It turns out to be a third-level monster!"
Qian Yunsheng stood on the boat and felt a bitter taste in his mouth when he saw the monster reveal its figure. I didn't expect that my luck would be so bad, and I would encounter a rare third-level monster rushing towards me.
You must know that for any monk, he would rather encounter seven or eight second-order monster beasts than one third-order monster beast on the sea.
Second-level monsters often don't know spells, or they only know one spell. The technique is single and the intelligence is average. Even if there are more of them, it will be relatively easier to deal with.
But the third-level monsters are different. Their bodies are stronger, and ordinary spiritual tools have no effect on them.
Moreover, third-level monsters often have at least two kinds of spells, and some even have three kinds of spells. Don't underestimate these two or three spells. The combination of these spells is much more difficult than a single spell.
Obviously, this is by no means as simple as one plus one.
Qian Yunsheng watched the third-order monster beast collide with him, took a deep breath, and silently recited the experiences he had summed up in his heart.
Unlike monsters on land, sea monsters are stronger in the sea. So as long as they are attracted to the deck, Qian Yunsheng will dare to fight even third-level monsters.
That's why, as the chosen battlefield, he didn't dare to give the monster a chance to break up the ship.
He had clearly seen that what was rushing towards him was a huge sea shrimp. This thing was much harder than the body of an ordinary monster. If the ship was hit by it, it would probably create a big hole.
Qian Yunsheng commanded the vines to turn the rudder, and the ship swerved to one side to avoid it. He himself stamped his feet and rushed towards the third-order monster sea shrimp.
Since the battle was inevitable, Qian Yunsheng abandoned everything. After he flew up, he faced the extremely ferocious monster. He felt very excited in his heart, and a long-lost feeling of pride surged up.
"This is a third-order monster! Not to mention the corpse, one demon core can be worth several second-order monster cores!" He counted the spirit stones like a money man, while silently thinking in his heart. Give yourself a pep talk.
Thinking of the possible gains, Qian Yunsheng looked at the third-level monster and its pincers that glowed azure and seemed to be poisonous, and felt that it was not that scary anymore.
He stepped on the soul-capturing flag at his feet and greeted it with a quiet look. After flying into the air, he suddenly straightened his body and paused in mid-air in a very strange way.
Seeing him rushing towards him, the demon shrimp swung around in the sea wisely and rushed towards Qian Yunsheng.
But what the demon shrimp didn't expect was that Qian Yunsheng's body that flew towards him could still be strangely stunned in mid-air. For a moment, the monster shrimp that came forward felt a strange feeling.
The giant pliers that originally hit Qian Yunsheng's body suddenly seemed to have used the wrong force because of such a light blow from his opponent, missing him by just a tiny bit.
Qian Yunsheng sneered, this was the effect he wanted. No matter how strong the intelligence of the monster beast is, as long as it has not transformed, it will still be inferior to humans.
As the Demon Shrimp's moves matured, it was Qian Yunsheng's turn to perform a magic trick. Immediately, a cold aura rushed towards the Demon Shrimp.
Along with this aura, there was a deep and distant glimmer in his starry eyes. This glimmer of light made his eyes even more unfathomable, and a faint breath of death filled the air from his body along with the soul-capturing flag.
Facing the third-level monster, Qian Yunsheng also knew that he could no longer hold back. I still don’t know if my second-level spiritual weapon’s knife can penetrate the demon shrimp’s armor. Therefore, the most powerful move of Soul Capture Banner is its first move.
Under Qian Yunsheng's command, the calm Soul Capturing Flag's tattered surface suddenly flapped. In an instant, it was like a black hole appeared in the sky, and countless dark winds sounded.
It was like something came alive in the air. Souls with a dead breath rushed out one after another, like living mini monsters, roaring towards the monster shrimp with teeth and claws.
Half of the demon shrimp's body was exposed above the sea level. It had been tricked by Qian Yunsheng just now, and it had no magic weapon to stay in the air, so it had no choice but to fall back into the water.
It would re-emerge from the sea and watch the souls in the Soul-Capturing Banner rush towards it. It would roar unwillingly and a second spell would spurt out from its mouth.
This second spell is a large-scale mist. The mist seems to have covered the figure of the sea shrimp.
Qian Yunsheng watched as the sea shrimp hid his figure, causing his soul to wander around the sea like a headless fly. With a thought in his heart, he lightly stepped on the soul-capturing flag, letting it continue to fly higher.
The Soul-Capturing Flag under his feet was too tattered now. With this mist, he had to guard against if the sea shrimp rushed out again. If he had no time to react and the monster shrimp broke the magic weapon, it would be too unfair.
Sure enough, as soon as he pulled up the soul-capturing flag, the sea shrimp suddenly rushed out of the mist and hit Qian Yunsheng's position just now.
"Well done!"
Qian Yunsheng's eyes lit up. With a flick of his finger, a silent rattan shot out of his hand like a poisonous snake and wrapped itself around the gap in the shrimp demon's armor.
The shrimp demon has many claws. Although the claws on the abdomen are not as powerful as the two large pincers at the front, they should not be underestimated. Two claws on its abdomen were stretched out, and with a gentle pinch, the vines shot by Qian Yunsheng were cut off.
"Awesome!" Qian Yunsheng saw that the demon shrimp's strength was still at least what he expected, which once again increased the opponent's danger level.
Different from other people's judgments about monsters, Qian Yunsheng has his own set of standards for how powerful monsters are. Some people think that the classification of monsters is third level, second level and so on, but he feels that if it is just like this, it is too simple.
Although this can roughly distinguish the difficulty level of monsters, there are still many very delicate standards to judge between the same level, or even between different levels, so that the strength of monsters can be better judged.
This is also a quality that an excellent hunter should have. Only by correctly judging the opponent's strength can we know what method to use to complete the battle as quickly and economically as possible.
Especially on this vast sea, who knows if you will be followed by a second or third battle after a hard battle. Therefore, efficiency is extremely important.
Seeing the strength of the shrimp demon, Qian Yunsheng changed his tactics again. I saw mana surging all over his body, and even his movements slowed down.
His expression was serious and his movements were extremely cautious. Each movement seems slow, but after it is sent out, it targets the reaction and weakness of the monster shrimp, making it extremely uncomfortable. Especially those vines, he focused on the weak parts of the monster shrimp.
After a series of battles in the air, the shrimp demon inevitably fell towards the sea. Qian Yunsheng was waiting for this moment, so he stared closely at the landing point of the demon shrimp with an extremely focused expression.
And the souls around him also gathered together, like a dark shadow sword, waiting to drink the blood of the chief enemy.
"go!"
I saw the demon shrimp baring its teeth and claws to cut off several vines shot by Qian Yunsheng, and finally revealed its flaw when it fell. Without hesitation, he commanded the souls around him to rush towards the empty door opened by the demon shrimp.
"Pa~"
Like the crisp sound of breaking branches, the dark sword of shadow slashed in along the gap between the two tiny pincers of the monster shrimp.
The tail belly of the demon shrimp, which was not protected by heavy armor, was like a heavy hammer that struck suddenly, with a sharp air flow like a knife, and it crashed straight in.
The monster shrimp bent over in pain, waving its large pincers in vain. Unfortunately, Qian Yunsheng's souls were extremely slippery. After a successful attack, they swam out from the jaws of a prawn one by one like a fish.
"Boom~"
While the demon shrimp was shrinking, Qian Yunsheng also arrived with a soul-capturing flag. I saw him holding a knife and slashing the demon shrimp's back.
As expected, this knife was of no use. Even though it was sharp and blazing, it only cut a shallow white mark on the demon shrimp's back.
However, this was not his intention. Since he controlled the landing point very well, the demon shrimp was hit by Qian Yunsheng in mid-air and fell towards the ship involuntarily.
Qian Yunsheng also landed on the ship with the soul-stirring flag. Due to the broken magic weapon, it was okay to stay in the air for a short time, but if he wanted to fly like a real magic weapon, he had to wait until it was repaired.
The demon shrimp was knocked down to the bow of the boat by Qian Yunsheng, and the vines that had been hidden on the bow emerged one after another and wrapped around the demon shrimp.
The shrimp demon was not to be outdone. Although it was stunned for a moment when it hit the bow of the ship, it still waved its dozen or so pliers, trying to cut off the entangled vines.
"Wai!"
Qian Yunsheng also landed back on the bow of the boat. He gave a soft drink and kept gesticulating. Countless souls also surged in size under his command, and they surrounded him together, helping the vines to wrap around the monster shrimp.
He now also knows that his opponent's armor is too hard, and he only has a chance if he exhausts all the power of the demon shrimp.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
The demon shrimp was not to be outdone. For a moment, several water waves were spat out from its mouth, and several big holes were made when they fell on the boat.
"Uh..." Qian Yunsheng's eyes narrowed. The third-order monster was indeed much more powerful than the second-order monster. He didn't expect that even after this, he still had enough strength to fight back.
Now, with such a blow, the bow of the sea-going ship was smashed to pieces.
Now Qian Yunsheng had no way out. Without the maneuverability of the ship, even escape was impossible.
However, he originally did not expect to be able to escape from the pursuit of the third-order monsters. Even with the support of swiftness, trying to compete with monsters in the sea, especially the third-order monsters, is simply an act of seeking death.
What's more, if you wander in randomly, who knows whether you will break into the territory of other third-level monsters.
One level 3 monster is already dead. If there are two level 3 monsters... Unless you are lucky enough to encounter two monster beasts who are natural enemies, it will be a dead end.
Now that the ship was smashed, Qian Yunsheng simply let go of everything. He also knew that the only way to have a chance of survival now was to fight with all his strength.
Therefore, he also grabbed the spiritual tool knife and went straight towards him.
As Qian Yunsheng rushed over with "kick, kick, kick", a series of footsteps on the deck were like a drum beating at the same time, rushing towards the monster shrimp.
On the boat, the demon shrimp also fought for his life. Its two huge and strong shrimp claws suddenly lit up, and two mini green dragons emerged from them.
"As expected of a third-level monster!"
Qian Yunsheng's eyes darkened. Unexpectedly, this demon shrimp actually understood the power of the blue dragon. It seemed that these two large pincers already had the power of a dragon.
This frightened him and made him even more reluctant to confront it head-on. Fortunately, his trap was carefully prepared. As the thin, soft and tough vines gradually wrapped up, it coincided with the way of overcoming strength with softness.
As for the souls released from the soul-catching flag, they were quite slippery and bit into the cracks of the shrimp demon, as if trying to bite off a piece of the shrimp demon's soul.
The demon shrimp was not to be outdone at this time. The green dragons on its two large pincers seemed to come to life, flying up and down, chasing Qian Yunsheng and attacking suddenly.
The eyes of the two giant shrimp demons were also like light bulbs, lighting up with a faint light. The armor all over his body was making a rustling sound, as if he was breathing rhythmically.
Qian Yunsheng was chased by the shrimp demon and fled around the boat in embarrassment. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the shrimp demon still felt that he was still a little short of catching up with Qian Yunsheng.
For a moment, the entire ship seemed to be in a strange balance, as if both sides were in a situation where no one could do anything about the other.
But what the shrimp demon didn't notice was that a shadow was forming beneath its feet.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
As the shrimp demon was unable to catch up with Qian Yunsheng, it began to become impatient. The endless vines around it also made it feel like it was stuck in a swamp.
They are slowly and patiently draining its strength.
It even feels that the more it struggles now, the deeper it will sink. It's like every time it takes another step forward, it has to exert more effort than before.
Therefore, it roared and launched another water wave attack, this time beating the left side of the ship to pieces.
"Now!" Qian Yunsheng patiently fought with the shrimp demon for a long time, and finally waited until the demon shrimp couldn't bear it and became violent.
Although the third-level monster was strong enough, being out of the sea for a long time and being trapped on the deck by Qian Yunsheng caused its strength to decline rapidly.
After all, it is different on the deck than in the sea. It requires much more effort to move and attack than in the sea. Moreover, as it desperately uses spells, even the threshold of spells has dropped extremely low.
Several times in the middle, it actually had the opportunity to escape back to the sea. Although the third-level monster's intelligence was already quite high, it was still confused by Qian Yunsheng's stumbling steps, and finally fell into an unstoppable situation step by step.
"Go!" Qian Yunsheng shouted, and a shadow quietly touched the shrimp demon's feet.
After he shouted, the shadow emerged from the shadow in an instant like a dead night, and immediately enveloped it completely. The demon shrimp only felt that his eyes were darkened, and the light suddenly disappeared.
With such a sudden change, the demon shrimp felt that it had fallen from victory into great danger. It even felt like its whole body was wrapped in a cold, dark environment.
This terrifying feeling made the shrimp demon completely fight for its life. Its two waving giant pincers were like two exploding haloes of light, and the blue light was even danced out by it. Just like the shrimp demon waving two suns, trying to use light to dispel the darkness.
But even if these two suns are so bright that people can't even open their eyes, they are of no use at all. Its eyes are still dark, as if under the dead darkness, this struggle is simply in vain.
When Qian Yunsheng saw that the Soul-Capturing Banner had trapped the shrimp demon, he immediately sat down cross-legged, fired out the spell in his hand, and poured spiritual power into the Soul-Capturing Banner.
In an instant, the soul-capturing flag was like a dark shadow. Deep in the shadow, there was even a vague ripple that suddenly rose up. The space around the flag was in a state of dead silence and distortion, and countless souls were rushing towards the soul-catching flag like birds returning to the forest.
A dead breath rose up strangely from the side of the flag, and connected with Qian Yunsheng in a twist.
As he squeezed suddenly, the dead breath also suddenly squeezed, and a breath that seemed to be crushed from the soul came out and enveloped the shrimp demon's soul.
Countless souls are like fine black mist scattered in the sky, steaming up from the surface of the black flag little by little. That pure soul power is becoming more and more abundant, thicker and darker...
On the flag, several golden threads suddenly lit up. Just like the Naihe Bridge in the netherworld, and like a guiding lantern in the underworld, it keeps cruising around the body of the shrimp demon, like singing a ghostly song that leads the way.
Qian Yunsheng's eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, staring at the shrimp demon as his movements became slower and slower.
After a while, under his continuous infusion of mana, the shrimp demon's violent twitching and struggling began to become lighter. Then, the entire shrimp demon's body collapsed to the ground, leaving only a soulless body lying on the deck.
Qian Yunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved the soul-capturing flag. The black flag surface flowed down from the shrimp demon's body like a stream of water, and returned to the flag pole behind him.
This was also one of his plans. First, he would use various traps and vines on the ship, together with his own actions, to hold back the shrimp demon.
After the shrimp demon is weakened to a certain level, make sure that it will not cause too much damage to the soul-capturing banner, and then use the soul-capturing banner to defeat it with one strike.
But even so, Qian Yunsheng took a big risk.
First of all, the attack of this shrimp demon was powerful and heavy. When Qian Yunsheng was dealing with it, he almost managed to dodge it several times, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.
In addition, this sea-going ship was in terrible tatters after being tortured by the shrimp monster. Obviously, there was no way to continue the journey, so we had to return and rebuild.
Finally, there was the Soul Captivating Banner. Although Qian Yunsheng had tried his best to weaken the shrimp demon, the shrimp demon's final strength still shocked him.
As he grabbed the soul-stirring banner in his hand, he examined it carefully and found that the originally broken banner became more broken.
He couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "It's a big loss. I don't know how much more it will cost to repair it."
Of course, even after paying so much, he still has no regrets. After all, he also understood that this was a life-and-death fight. If the shrimp demon couldn't be killed, all the people in the boat might not survive.
After putting away the soul-catching flag, Qian Yunsheng knelt down and took it out on the shrimp demon's forehead. After a while, he took out a demon core that was larger than the second-level demon beast.
Qian Yunsheng felt happy. After working for so long, he finally gained something. He happily put away the demon core of the third-level demon beast, and everyone climbed out of the mezzanine at this time.
When everyone saw the corpse of the third-level monster, they were all shocked, and they all felt lucky to survive the disaster.
Qian Yunsheng looked at the captain and the old man also got out, and said regretfully: "I didn't expect that the third-level monster came this time. Although I tried my best, I still couldn't save your ship. It seems that I have to... Returned for repairs.”
The old captain shook his head quickly and said: "What do you say, Master Immortal? We are lucky to be able to save our lives when encountering a third-level monster."
"This is because the little old man is a bit greedy and insists on coming to the Bering Sea. Fortunately, he met the Qianxian Master, otherwise I am afraid he will definitely be buried in the belly of the fish this time."
"And thanks to Master Immortal, the harvest this time is extremely rich. To be honest, even if I don't encounter the third-level monster, I will be ready to return in a few days. The cabin is really full. , it won’t work if we don’t return.”
Hearing what the captain said so humorously, everyone laughed together, and their sadness was relieved a lot in an instant.
Qian Yunsheng also nodded secretly. Watching them fish with cold eyes these days, they have indeed gained a lot.
Seeing that the captain was speaking openly, he also smiled and said: "In this case, I won't be pretentious. I have already taken the demon core of this third-level monster, and I will leave this body to you as a means of repairing the ship." Bar."
The captain was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he said it lightly, he was still worried about the cost of repairing the ship. I didn't expect Master Immortal to be so heroic. In this way, the bulk of the ship repair team was solved.
He couldn't help but feel happy, and shouted loudly: "Boys, we are back on the voyage!"
Qian Yunsheng also smiled and looked at everyone's joy, but soon frowned and covered his chest.
In the fight just now, because the opponent was too strong, he still suffered wounds. This caused the injury that had stabilized to become worse again, which made his already calm mood become irritable again.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed his depressed thoughts, and secretly swore in his heart: "I can't wait any longer. It seems that this matter will be settled as soon as possible."
"In addition to this matter, the secret book also records several powerful methods. After getting rid of this shackles on the body, I can try to choose one or two of them to practice and enrich my methods. This way It will be much easier next time than now.”
With this thought in mind, Qian Yunsheng stopped caring about the chaos on the deck, said hello to the old man, and hurried back to the cabin to stabilize his injuries.
