Chapter 148: Master?

  The Qīng Lín Shòu is a common sea monster in the Jiāng Luó ocean domain. This monster has cyan scales on its body, and sharp teeth in its fish-like mouth. It can quickly jump out of the water to attack people like an arrow.

  The Qīng Lín Shòu is not a high-level demon beast in the ocean, generally only second, third or fourth level. Very few Qīng Lín Shòu can reach fifth level. This demon beast does not have a demon crystal, and its cyan scales are of little value. Only the Cyan Moon Stone in its brain emits a faint cyan glow, which has a slight effect on calming the mind.

  The effect of Qingyue Stone on calming the mind is not particularly outstanding, but because it can emit a blue light and has a crystal clear appearance, it is often used as an ornament.

  Because the level of Qīng Lín Shòu is generally not high, in Tiān Zǐ Qún Dǎo, there are also some low-level warriors who hunt and kill Qīng Lín Shòu to obtain Qīng Yuè Shí, which they exchange with merchants who collect precious stones for rewards.

  The Qīng Lín beast was hunted down, and it harbored a deep hatred towards human warriors. The originally not-so-ferocious Qīng Lín beast gradually became more active, and as soon as it caught the opportunity, it would attack passing merchant ships, as if to exact some revenge for its fallen companions.

  One by one, the green-scaled beasts darted quickly beside the small boat. In the rippling waves, the green scales of the beasts were clearly visible in the sea. Some of the beasts that were closer to the water surface even exposed their green scales, which shimmered with a faint green light under the moonlight.

  "Whoosh!"

  The qinglin beast suddenly shot out of the water like a sharp arrow, carrying a strong impact force, and fiercely stabbed towards the warrior on the deck.

  "Kill!"

  Linda let out a scream.

  A bright blue sword light, in the void intertwined into a sword net, Linda held two short swords in her hands, lightly dancing on the deck.

  "Double Snake Coil!"

  Linda's two arms wove quickly, the short sword changing rapidly in mid-air, actually condensing the sword light into a double-headed spirit snake. The sword tip within the sword light was swallowing and spitting out indistinctly, as if it were the tongue of the double-headed spirit snake, looking very mysterious.

  Two third-class demonic beasts, Qinglin Beasts, shot towards Linda, but were strangled by her martial skill "Double Snake Bind".

  The green scales of the green scale beast made a crackling sound, and the fish head that was shot out by the green scale beast was stabbed by the short sword's blade, and many blood holes appeared on the fish head.

  Two third-class green scale beasts shot out of their bodies and were strangled by Linda, and the momentum was also stopped by Linda, directly falling onto the deck.

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  More green-scaled beasts emerged from the sea surface, stabbing towards the warriors on the deck with sword-like movements.

  On the deck, apart from Linda and Kamon, there were nine other warriors, all of whom had attained the level of Xiantian or Human Rank, with strength that was not inferior to Qinglin Beast.

  Although these warriors were only peripheral disciples of the Three Gods Sect, they all came from some small forces that had surrendered to the Three Gods Sect, so they did not lack fighting experience. When dealing with Qinglin Beast, the other nine warriors were calm and composed, without a single one showing fear.

  The warriors on the deck, one after another, displayed their own martial arts skills. For a time, the deck was filled with a dazzling array of lights, as various martial arts skills shone brightly, forming a dense web of light that intertwined and entwined above the deck.

  One after another, the green-scaled beasts shot over, but none of them got any advantage. Either they were cut down in mid-air or heavily injured and fell into the sea.

  Not long after, the green scale beast sank into the seabed again after paying the price of seven deaths.

  The green scales beast did not launch another attack, nor did it leave the small boat, but instead followed far behind, occasionally revealing itself on the water's surface.

  Kamon and his group calmly and slowly opened up the Qīng Lín beast on the deck, unceremoniously removing the Qīng Yuè stone from its body, and then kicked the Qīng Lín beast's corpse into the sea with one foot.

  In the distance, the qinglin beast saw its companion's corpse floating like water. In the moonlight, a deep hatred gleamed in its fish-like eyes.

  The Qingyue Stone was only the size of a walnut, emitting a faint blue light. Under the moonlight, it looked extremely bright and dazzling, truly very beautiful.

  "Linda, do you like these stones?" Kamon said with a smile, holding up three pieces of qinglin beast and walking to Linda's side. "If you like them, I'll give you all the qingyue stones."

  Under the moonlight, Linda's long hair fluttered, her slender eyebrows and beautiful eyes moved people, and the momentum of killing the green scale beast was clean and neat, really making Shiyan look at her with admiration.

  "Not interested." Linda shook her head, curled her lip and said, "Worthless things, I'm too lazy to collect. Only those common women would be interested in this glowing stone."

  Linda paused for a moment, then said indifferently: "You take these Qingyue stones and go fawn on those beautiful women who don't practice martial arts. Who knows, you might get to savor their charm. You'd better keep them for yourself."

  Kamon laughed twice and said: "You don't like it, so be it. Why do you have to mock me? I don't look down on ordinary women..."

  Linda didn't respond, and instead walked to the back of the small boat, where a stone rock was located. She frowned as she gazed at the Qinglin beast that was chasing after them relentlessly, looking slightly worried. In a low voice, she said: "I hope there won't be a large group of fourth-level Qinglin beasts appearing... Ah..."

  Shi Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he stood not far from Linda, but didn't respond.

  This time, all the besieged Qīng Lín beasts were only level three, and no level four appeared.

  Third-level Qīng Lín beast, is only equivalent to the human martial artist of the same rank, but because the Qīng Lín beast's attacks are all aerial, so its actual strength is probably only at the level of a Xian Tian martial artist.

  These outer disciples of the Three Gods Sect mostly have attainments at the Innate and Human Rank realms. Among them, Linda is even at the Hundred Calamities One Heavy Heaven realm. On the ship, she has the upper hand, so they can sweep away these Green Scale Beasts with ease. Shi Yan is not surprised.

  It's hard to deal with a fourth-level Qingscale Beast.

  Once the Qīng Lín Shòu reaches level four, the blue scales on its body become much harder and ordinary attacks can hardly penetrate those blue scales.

  In addition, the teeth of the fourth-level Qīng Lín beast are extremely sharp and can even bite through the deck of a small boat with their teeth.

  If it were a fourth-level Qīng Lín beast, it would first shatter the small boat and drag them into the sea to fight, these people are likely to be in a precarious situation.

  The green scale beast in the sea is much more ferocious than the attack that floats out of the water. If the ship was destroyed by the green scale beast and then attacked by the green scale beast in the sea, these people would definitely not escape death.

  The warriors on the deck were still excited about repelling the Qinglin beast, only Linda sighed softly and stood beside Shiyan with a worried look.

  "Shi Yan, do you think there will be a fourth rank Cyan Scale Beast following?" Linda let out a sigh, her beautiful eyes suddenly looking at Shi Yan with a hint of concern.

  Linda saw the stone rock sealed in the largest glacier at the bottom of the sea, although the stone rock had exhausted all its strength now, but she still felt that the stone rock was extraordinary, much more stable than those people on the deck of Kamon.

  So when she encountered a difficult problem, she couldn't help but want to hear Shi Yan's opinion.

  "I don't know." Shi Yan shook his head, "I'm not familiar with the Qīng Lín beast."

  "Huh?" Linda exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you a fisherman from the Tianyi Island area?"

  Shi Yan felt a bit embarrassed, coughed lightly and said faintly: "I'm just an ordinary fisherman, catching normal fish species, not this kind of fierce demon beast. Hehe, this demon beast, I can't handle it, only the strong ones from your Three Gods Sect dare to fight against the Qingscale Beast, I'm not capable."

  Linda gave him a glance, hummed softly and said irritably: "If you don't want to help, just say so. Don't mention anything about fishermen or not. I really don't know what kind of fisherman can be so calm when facing the Green Scaled Beast."

  Just as the green scale beast emerged from the water, its momentum was quite fierce. When Linda dealt with the green scale beast, she carefully observed Shi Yan's performance and found that Shi Yan on the deck kept moving, constantly looking for a safe area, but never showed a hint of panic or loss of control.

  This is absolutely not the behavior a fisherman should have.

  Shi Yan smiled, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I really can't. However, I think the Qīng Lín beast will come again, and next time there might be several level-four ones. Otherwise, those level-three Qīng Lín beasts wouldn't keep following us."

  "Nonsense, of course I know that next time the Cyan Scaled Beast attacks, it will definitely be a level 4 one." Linda rolled her eyes and hummed: "I'm asking if you have any way to deal with a level 4 Cyan Scaled Beast? You're on the ship too, and if the ship is really destroyed, no matter what your purpose is, it won't come true. Didn't you say you wanted to go take a look at Yunxia Island? Without a ship, are you going to fly over?"

  Shi Yan smiled wryly and sank into thought for a moment before saying, "There's still time, let's think of a way slowly."

  "If you're really a master, please help us out at the crucial moment." Linda looked at him deeply, making an earnest request: "After all, I've saved you once before. My crew may not like you, but I don't want them to get hurt. As long as they're on my ship, I'll do my best to protect them from harm."

  Shi Yan was shocked, and he really had some admiration for this woman. After Kamon and others questioned her leadership, she still put the sailors first in her mind. No wonder she could gain the trust of so many sailors. Those people immediately found out that she and Kamon had a conflict, and they unhesitatingly sided with her.

  Her status among those sailors seems to have been established bit by bit like this, and it's really the good fortune of those people to have such a leader.

  "You're not some kind of expert." Shi Yan shook his head calmly and said with self-deprecation, "I'm just an unlucky drowning person, don't have any hopes for me."

  He is indeed not modest.

  Before his internal strength is restored, he and Linda are at war, it's hard for either of them to gain the upper hand, let alone help Linda get through this difficult time.

  Of course, if he can recover his strength in a short period of time, whether it's his spiritual energy or the negative energy filling his body, that would be a different story.

  "Whatever, you're not helping anyway." Linda's tone was somewhat chilly. "The ship is destroyed, and you can't escape! No matter how capable you are, unless you can fly, you'll end up just like us! You're on your own!"

  With that, Linda turned away from Shi Yan and went to give vaccinations to her crew members.
