Chapter 29: Snake-Necked Beast

  "Ah~"

  "Help!"

  "Hold me tight, I'm going to fall..."

  "Ah, monster, there's a monster in the water, it's so big..."

  The crowd on the deck was tumbling about in all directions, terror and screams spreading here, as if only this could make them feel a little better. And underwater, at some unknown time, a huge black shadow appeared, seemingly seven or eight zhang long.

  It's over 70-80 feet long, which is more than 20 meters in length, almost half the size of this building.

  "It's an Aquabeast!" Shi Jingyuan exclaimed, pulling Wu Ming along.

  "Aquatic beast? Could it be the aquatic demon mentioned in the book? It's said to live in water for years and can transform into a demon?" Wu Ming was stunned, so what he saw was indeed a demon beast?

  This thing, apart from seeing it on TV and in games, is now actually standing right in front of him. Thinking about this, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little excited.

  "Huh, it's actually a Snake-Necked Beast?" As the figure slowly emerged from underwater, Shi Jingxuan became somewhat shocked and pale, his face also changing slightly, clearly aware of the ferocity of this snake-necked beast.

  Wu Ming looked at it and felt that it was somewhat different. This thing, why did it look so much like a plesiosaur from the Jurassic period? The lower part looked like a turtle, while the upper part had a long neck like a snake, and then there was its enormous body. It seemed to be a real-life plesiosaur!

  The snake-necked beast, although its appearance is similar to that of the snake-necked dragon, but in terms of strength, it is worlds apart, and its ferocity is also not to be mentioned on the same day. It is said that this snake-necked beast has the bloodline of the dragon tribe, if it becomes a demon, there is still a chance to evolve into a Jiaolong. At this time, he saw him moving his long neck and colliding with the ferry boat, and then the nearly five or six zhang long neck suddenly emerged from the water.

  "Ahhh..."

  A loud beastly roar, its huge mouth wide open, was about to pounce on those people on the deck.

  "You beast, how dare you be so arrogant!"

  A sudden loud roar, immediately a sword light flashed by, a three-meter-long sword edge instantly swept past.

  The serpent-necked beast apparently didn't think that someone would still be hiding in the dark, and was struck by the sword's blade, with a new wound appearing on its neck, over an inch deep.

  "Waaaahhhh....."

  The plesiosaur let out a loud screech and quickly withdrew its head before diving back into the water.

  The one who drew his sword was Lin Bufan, who had just come up from below. Seeing the snake-necked beast about to eat someone, he instantly swung a sword light over to kill it. With his innate nine-layered heavenly strength, this hasty sword would not have been able to kill the snake-necked beast, but he only intended to scare it away. After all, this snake-necked beast was still young, which means that within a hundred miles nearby, there might be another adult snake-necked beast. Killing it wouldn't be difficult, but provoking that old guy would not be worth it.

  "This snake-necked beast is not yet mature, and Lin Gongzi can definitely handle it. Fortunately, he was there, little brother, don't worry, nothing's wrong, the snake-necked beast has been chased away." Shi Jingxuan patted Wu Ming's somewhat dazed face, as if suddenly realizing something, and said: "When we find the transformation grass to practice the elixir, your bone problem will be solved. I believe you can also have... Lin... Lin Bufan's kind of power."

  Wu Ming was stunned by this mysterious scene, and he was swept away by the water on the deck, making his whole body wet. Suddenly, he burst out laughing, "Great, great, it's such a wonderful world that I, Wu Ming, can roam freely! If it were too easy, it would be boring!"

  That snake-necked beast, don't look at its ferocity, Wu Ming's heart is actually not afraid. Although the internal force is currently insufficient and the true energy is far from enough, one kick of the Dragon Leg can still be kicked out. If it were him, one kick would definitely explode that snake-necked beast's head. However, this snake-necked beast's strength is absolutely around the 5th or 6th layer of a martial artist's innate abilities, and you know it's not even an adult yet!

  I used to think that with my own cultivation speed, in three to five years, who would still be a match for me in this world? Now seeing this not yet matured Snake Neck Beast already has such strength, what about when it's fully grown? Moreover, demonic beasts originally have extremely long lifespans, what about those old demons that have cultivated for over a thousand years?

  Thinking of this, Wu Ming's heart was stirred with boundless heroic spirit. Only in such a world could he live out a brilliant life!

  "Boom..."

  The ship below was shaken again, and a huge wave over 10 meters high suddenly surged up and slammed heavily onto the ship.

  Lin Bufan's face suddenly fell as he furiously shouted: "How dare you, still daring to come and offend? Don't you think I don't dare to kill you?"

  Wu Ming found this kid quite amusing. Although the demon beast had intelligence, what was the point of threatening? Why not just kill him directly and be done with it?

  As expected, the water-snake beast under the water heard Lin Bu Fan's words and instead became even more turbulent. One wave was higher than another, crashing over, making the entire deck wet with river water. The building boat was rocking back and forth in the waves, seemingly on the verge of capsizing.

  "Roar......"

  Another roar, the giant snake head stretched out from under the water again, its two huge blood-red eyes staring at Lin Bufan as if to decide a life-and-death struggle. In just an instant, the bloodstains on the snake's neck had disappeared, leaving only a white mark with a reddish tint inside.

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Lin Bufan was originally a rich young master, although he had a gentle temperament, but the one in front of him was a demon beast, not human. It's also unknown whether it's because he grew up in Haizhou that he has some prejudices against demon beasts.

  In fact, the people of Haizhou also have prejudices against demonic beasts. Every beast tide doesn't know how many people die, and occasionally there are demonic beasts that eat people. Every family has relatives and friends who have been eaten by demonic beasts. Therefore, Lin Bufan, who was born and raised in Haizhou, also hated demonic beasts extremely.

  Now seeing the snake-necked beast emerge again, Lin Bu Fan was not afraid. With one foot on the deck, he flew out like a big bird. The long sword in his hand danced with a sword flower, like a flash of lightning, and stabbed at the snake-necked beast with extreme speed.

  "Hmm..."

  The snake-necked beast was clearly on guard this time, and its large head, like a small cart, came straight at him, colliding with Lin Bufan. Lin Bufan suffered such a great force that he was directly knocked back onto the deck. And the snake-necked beast's head was also pierced by a mouthful of blood, Lin Bufan's sword inserted more than a foot deep.

  If it weren't for the divine soldiers, Lin Bufan wouldn't have recklessly used them to stab his head. The snake-necked dragon had no attack methods, everything was on this head, and it could be said that it was as hard as iron.

  "Waaaahhhh..."

  The long sword was stuck in the snake-necked beast's head, apparently causing it unbearable pain, and it involuntarily let out a painful sound, seemingly unable to comprehend how this sword could be harder than its own skull. In the water, it continued to struggle and thrash about, creating waves after waves, until after almost an incense stick of time, this small snake-necked beast finally stopped breathing, its massive corpse floating on the surface of the water.

  That Lin Bufan was also injured in the collision and got a lung injury, after the snake-necked beast died, he jumped down to pull out his divine soldier and quickly flew up again, shouting loudly: "Boatman, hurry up! Cough...!"

  The boatman was clearly aware of the snake-necked beast, and since Lin Bufan didn't speak up last time, he didn't dare to come forward and ask him to set sail. He naturally knew that Lin Bufan's sword was still on board. Now that he heard Lin Bufan mention it, he quickly joined in shouting. Others may not know, but he did - there must be another adult snake-necked beast lurking around here! Unfortunately, for the next few days, they probably won't be able to take the boat; this trip seems doomed to fail.
