Chapter 164 Red Wing Ray
In the vast East Sea, there are a lot of blue waves, and a big ship is riding the wind and waves.
There were dozens of people on the deck, each doing their own things. However, there was a flash of magic power flashing in these people's hands from time to time. It was obvious that they were not ordinary crew members, but monks.
Yes, this place is thousands of miles away from the coast. Where could an ordinary sea boat sail so far?
Such ships are very common in the East China Sea.
Although the Taoist world is respected by the royal court, the four holy places, the four-way demon sect, the twelve gates, the thirty-six middle gates, and the one hundred and eight lower gates, the people from these forces are less than one percent of the entire Jiuzhou practitioners.
The remaining 99% are small sects or casual cultivators of three or five. Most of these casual cultivators can only practice eleven or two-grade qi refining techniques, and most of them are incomplete. They can only obtain a Taoist method after trying every means, and only after several years can they obtain a decent magic weapon.
If the four holy places, twelve gates, thirty-six gates, and 108 gates are princes and nobles in the Taoist world, then these casual cultivators are ordinary people in the Taoist world. Not only has the lowest status, they will be exploited.
Therefore, disciples of the four holy lands like Chu Chuan only need to take care of their own practice and do nothing else, but casual cultivators cannot do it. They need to maintain their livelihood. If they do not find a way to obtain resources, how can they practice?
Therefore, there is also trade in the world of Taoism, and it is not as prosperous as the world. Random cultivators need to hunt monsters and find treasures to exchange for Taoism and spirit stones, and sects also need a large amount of resources to maintain the operation of the sect, thus creating trade.
For example, in the East China Sea, there are strongholds of various sects in the major coastal cities to trade with the casual cultivators and collect the resources for practicing Taoism in the East China Sea.
The casual cultivators went out to sea to hunt monsters and obtain various resources in exchange for magic tricks, magic weapons, elixirs, spirit stones and other objects from various sects.
This is true for this ship. The ship is full of casual cultivators, but this ship is considered an elite among tens of thousands of ships of all sizes in the East China Sea. Without exception, the ship is above the foundation building stage, and the leader has reached the fifth level of the Golden Pill, which is considered outstanding among casual cultivators.
Their purpose of this trip was to hunt a golden elixir monster called the Red Winged Ray, which is a rare monster with both water and fire attributes.
The golden elixir monster is no longer something that ordinary cultivators can deal with. In addition, red-winged rays mostly live in waters thousands of miles away from the coast, and are no longer a place that ordinary cultivators can reach.
Only like this ship, the worst of the thirty people on the ship are elite ships in the Foundation Establishment Period, can they successfully hunt the Red Winged Rays.
This is a task issued by Kanli Gate. For each corpse of a red-winged ray, you can obtain an eleventh-grade magic weapon and several eleventh-grade spirit stones and pills. If you can submit five red-winged rays at one time, you can obtain a tenth-grade magic weapon.
The Kanli Gate ranks 24th among the 36 Middle School Gate. He is good at the water and fire Taoist methods, and has mastered several Taoist methods that combine water and fire. He is already a huge figure in the eyes of ordinary casual cultivators.
However, a red-winged ray is enough to refine a ten-grade magic weapon, but the Kanli people have asked for five, but many casual cultivators are still flocking to it, which shows how exploited the casual cultivators are.
"Okay, let's go to a place where red-winged rays often appear, let's put the bait!" The leading man said to the man next to him.
"Okay, Brother Chen!" The person next to him responded and ran out to direct his subordinates to take action.
The leading man named Chen, with a single name, a character named Yan, is righteous and very happy. His strength is outstanding among casual cultivators, reaching the fifth level of the Golden Pill, and is very famous among casual cultivators in the East China Sea area.
This ship was purchased by him and several brothers who had a life-long friendship. It has been nearly ten years and has gone to sea for thousands of times.
The subordinates are also those who have been carefully selected over the years. The personnel changes from time to time in the first five years, but there are basically no changes in the next five years. Therefore, the relationship between them is not far different, not only is it a solid friendship.
Chen Yan was very satisfied with his brothers, and he was also very satisfied with such a wandering but free and exciting life, so he kept doing this job and taking care of his brothers.
Otherwise, with his fifth level of Jindan cultivation, whether it is to be a guest elder in the 108 lower sect or to be a small official in the imperial court, it would be easier than now.
But he just likes this kind of life.
Chen Yan's men had come here to hunt red-winged rays several times, and they went to sea for less than 300 times. Naturally, they were familiar with it and quickly threw the bait into the sea and prepared for the subsequent hunting.
The red-winged rays are not a group of monsters, so they are not afraid of putting down the bait and attracting a large number of red-winged rays. Even if they are unlucky, they can deal with it with the help of this valuable fishing boat, and at most the ship will be damaged.
The bait obviously works very well. Soon after, the waves that hit the hull became bigger and the shaking range of the boat began to increase.
Some people already saw the huge shadow of the red-winged ray in the sea with sharp eyes.
"Look! The Red-winged Ray is here!" the man reminded loudly.
"Everyone is ready to fight, and the defense cover is supported!" Chen Yan roared.
Everyone roared with enthusiasm and waited for the red-winged ray to approach.
The red-winged ray is flat and round, as if it has a pair of wings with red edges, so it is called the red-winged ray. Its tail is long, but it is stronger than fine steel, with the power of opening mountains and cracking stones. It is six feet wide, and its tail is nearly six feet long. In addition, its tail is eleven feet long, so it is also considered a tycoon in this sea area.
"Let the fish crossbow!" Chen Yan gave the order, and ten fish crossbows that were ten feet long and as thick as adult arms suddenly shot out from the hull on the side of the red-winged ray.
The fish crossbow was extremely fast and had broken into the sea in the blink of an eye and came to the red-winged ray.
Although the Red Winged Ray is a golden elixir monster, it cannot completely avoid these ten fish crossbows specially used to deal with monsters in the sea. In an instant, three of them were nailed, while the other seven were beaten.
But this is enough. It is a golden elixir monster. Having three hits can satisfy the people on the ship.
This crossbow arrow is a characteristic, specially used to deal with large sea monsters like the Red-winged Ray. The crossbow arrow is completely made of refined steel and is accompanied by a magic circle. It is extremely sharp and sharp, cutting iron like mud, enough to break the hard outer skin of the golden elixir monsters such as the Red-winged Ray.
In addition, the rope connecting the crossbow arrow and the hull is also a characteristic. It is not only extremely tough, but also inviolable, making it impossible for monsters like Red Winged Ray to break the rope and escape.
The red-winged ray was hit hard and naturally struggled wildly. How powerful is the seven or eight feet tall red-winged ray? In an instant, the ship began to shake violently.
