Chapter 80 [Unsettled return flight]
Three days passed in a flash, and Gu Changsheng soon ushered in the day of boarding the ship.
The ship docked on the largest pier of Wutong Island. It was a giant ship more than 20 meters long and five or six meters wide. It was more than twice as large as the ships of the five major families on Longhai Island that Gu Changsheng had seen before.
There is also a three-story boat on it, which must look at least hundreds of rooms.
Although the overall ship is still a low-grade magic weapon, medium-grade magic weapon can be seen everywhere on the hull.
There is even a formation protection, which allows the ship to resist head-on without fear of attacks from small monsters while sailing in the sea.
The ship had already boarded two or three hundred people, dozens of staff from Qi training stage and three or five monks from Foundation Establishment stage were maintaining order, and it was orderly for a while.
After Gu Changsheng took out the token, he was received by a monk in the early stage of foundation building who was in charge.
"Compared to you, you are Fellow Daoist! I am the manager of the ship this time. My surname is Zhou. Fellow Daoist can directly contact me if you have any questions."
Manager Zhou said with a smile.
"Well, how long does it take for us to get to the western continent this time?"
"Usually, it takes one month, but this time when monsters appear frequently in Shanghai, I'm afraid the speed of the ship cannot be increased to the maximum, so it is conservatively estimated to be half a month."
After a brief understanding of some defense and security work on the ship, he asked a staff member to take Gu Changsheng to a room assigned to him on the second floor.
The foundation-building monks who were hired in this way were fine, but they could have a single room on the second floor. Some other monks who took the boat were not so lucky, most of them were two or four in one room.
There are about eighty rooms on the first floor, each with four people arranged.
There are about forty rooms on the second floor, each of which is arranged for two.
There are about twenty rooms on the third floor. People who do not arrange for boat rides, most of them are staff members of some boats.
The first and second floors were originally between two and one person, but now they have doubled due to the turmoil and uneasy in the Xisha Islands.
The ship that could carry two hundred monks was now doubled, carrying four hundred monks.
And this is still the premise that the shipping ticket price is not reduced.
Even so, they are all rushing to it and it is hard to find it.
Gu Changsheng roughly calculated that the first floor is twenty spirit stones per person, the second floor is fifty spirit stones per person, and the four hundred people are tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Even if some staff members go out, they will have to make a net profit of 8,000 spirit stones.
Usually, 200 people and 5,000 spirit stones can also make the Feixingfang full of money.
So this ship that travels to and from the Xisha Islands and the mainland is a money tree.
But.
Even if other businesses are jealous, no one has the courage to build a giant ship that can sail thousands of miles. You should know that building such a ship is not only possible with tens of thousands of spirit stones, but it will have to start at least 100,000.
Because of these various reasons, this is the only one ship that travels to and from the Xisha Islands and the mainland, without any semicolons.
As all four hundred passengers boarded the ship, and dozens of staff members, the giant ship sank a lot.
After counting all the passengers boarded the ship, the giant ship gradually trembled and slowly used the port of Wutong Island and headed towards the vast sea to the west.
Through observation, Gu Changsheng roughly learned the number of people in the foundation-building period that this ship was wearing.
Among them, there are three foundation-building stages belonging to the Feixingfang forces themselves, two in the early stage of foundation-building and one in the middle stage of foundation-building.
Including Gu Changsheng, there are seven other monks in the Foundation Establishment stage, all of whom are monks in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and are hired to defend the ship.
Ten Foundation Establishment Periods protect the ships. It can be said that unless you encounter monsters in the Killing Physical Stage or large-scale monster groups, the rest of the situation will really not bring any danger to the ships.
At the same time, it also reassuring the many passengers who spend money on the boat.
As the ship entered the vast sea, many monks who were staying on the deck returned to their rooms.
The same is true for Gu Changsheng. However, compared to other passengers who need to squeeze into a room with others, his small single room seems very comfortable.
Because the ship was sailing at sea and the hull was turbulent, Gu Changsheng could not open the furnace in the room to refine elixirs and magic weapons, so he could take advantage of this month to learn to make talismans.
It’s just that the hull is turbulent, and I can’t draw talismans by myself. I can only read the contents of "Basics of Talismans" first, and then draw and practice it when I get off the boat.
Gu Changsheng did not fall behind in the practice of Qinglian Sword Technique and Qinglian Step Technique, but he was just a little restrained when he used it in a small room.
But this also gives Gu Changsheng an experience in practicing the Qinglian sword technique and the Qinglian footwork in a narrow air.
Now Gu Changsheng has practiced both the Qinglian Sword Technique and the Qinglian Step Technique to the small stage. After drawing the sword, he can leave many lotus formed by sword energy in the air, which can be used to attack the enemy.
The same is true for the green lotus step. You can use the green lotus step to make lotus grow under your feet step by step.
Perhaps because of the increasing number of monsters on the sea, Gu Changsheng could hear the sounds of ship staff fighting with monsters from time to time.
Until three days later.
Just when Gu Changsheng felt that he had sailed out of the Xisha Islands and rushed out of the island occupied by humans with the turbulent monster group, he felt that the next road should be easier, and then he encountered a medium-sized monster group.
This is a group of three or five hundred tiger-headed sharks, a tiger-headed shark with three hundred years of cultivation as the leader, and more than ten monsters with more than a hundred years of cultivation as the main backbone, targeting ships sailing on the vast sea.
However, the tiger-headed shark did not directly attack the ship, but instead drove thousands of flying fishes to make cannon fodder first and test the combat power of the ship.
The highest combat power of the flying fish is only a hundred years old, each of which is only more than one foot long, and can accumulate power from the sea water and jump up to attack ships.
Although there is a defensive cover on the ship, it is not ready to open it unless it has to be forced to because of the huge consumption of spirit stones.
So now we can only resist by the staff and the guards invited by Gu Changsheng.
The monks in the middle stage of foundation building were in charge, and the nine monks in the early stage of foundation building were distributed at the bow of the ship to resist the attacks of flying fish.
The staff in the Qi training stage picked up bargains behind Gu Changsheng and other foundation-building stages and killed some fish that missed the net.
Gu Changsheng was a little confused about this arrangement at first, but only after he started knocking off the flying fish with his forty or fifty years of cultivation, he realized the reason.
Because although Feiyu is not big and has weak cultivation, its impact cannot be underestimated. Feiyu, who has been practicing for forty or fifty years, has the impact force in the later stage of Qi training.
One or two points may be able to deal with the late stage of Qi training, but if the number increases to three or five points, you will have life worries.
Fortunately, these flying fish seem to have only one blow, and when they fall on the boat board, their strength will be greatly reduced, which gives them the chance to kill the Qi training staff behind them.
With such orderly cooperation, the first wave of flying fish attacks did not have any impact on the ship.
This has a lot to do with the inviting seven Foundation Establishment guards this time. If only three Foundation Establishment guards were on the ship, they would inevitably be unable to take care of them.
In this way.
Either spend a lot of spirit stones to open the defensive cover on the ship, or the lives of some staff members during the Qi training period were lost.
so.
It is still very necessary to spend a small amount of spirit stones to invite seven early-stage monks to do escort work.
But the first wave of hundreds of flying fish was just an appetizer. Not to mention the thousands of flying fish below, the three or five hundred tiger-headed sharks that drove the flying fish to attack the ship were the main threat to attack the ship this time.
This made the highest combat power in the mid-stage foundation building stage where the ship was standing on it, and couldn't help but show a look of worry.
It’s not that he has no confidence in the attack of the medium-sized monster group. It was because he had just arrived on the third day of his voyage and encountered such a group of monsters with such strength when he walked out of the Xisha Islands. This made him think too much.
If we speculate in turn, I am afraid that the more than one month of sailing will definitely not be as calm as before.
Just after his brief thought, the second wave of attacks from the flying fishes also followed, with more scale and larger range than the previous first wave of flying fishes.
Even the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who was standing in front would inevitably be disclosed under the attacks of many flying fish, which directly led to casualties among the staff in the Qi training stage behind him.
Gu Changsheng is better. The Qinglian sword technique he practiced was originally good at speed, so he did not miss any flying fish here, which directly led to the Qi training cultivator behind him looking at Gu Changsheng's back with gratitude.
The second wave of flying fish had as many as three or five hundred heads, which killed two people in the Qi training stage staff on the ship, seriously injured three people, and more than a dozen people suffered minor injuries to varying degrees.
After the death of fighting and seriously injured Qi training monks were placed inside the cabin, they immediately ushered in the third attack from the flying fish.
This time, the remaining nearly a thousand flying fishes in the flying fish were put into battle, which once made the battle scenes heat up.
Every early stage of foundation building cultivator has to face the attacks of hundreds of flying fish and cannot handle them at all, so there are quite a few who attack them.
Although the impact force of the flying fish does not cause any damage to their foundation-building stage, it can be said that their bodies retreated under the impact force of the flying fish, revealing one big hole after another, exposing the Qi training cultivators behind them to the attack range of the flying fish.
Seeing that a large number of Qi training staff were about to die under the attack of many flying fish, the mid-stage monk in the foundation building stage had no choice but to open the ship's defensive formation in advance.
"Bang bang bang!"
Even though the defensive formations blocked the attacks of most of the flying fish, it also caused casualties and injuries to a small number of staff in the Qi training period.
Five people were killed in battle, ten were seriously injured, and most of the remaining people were injured, which directly reduced the number of staff on the ship's Qi training period by one third.
The seven or eight cultivators in the Qi training stage who followed Gu Changsheng were safe and sound.
This not only attracted the envious eyes of other cultivators in the Qi training stage, but also the eyes of other cultivators in the early stage of foundation building who resisted the attack of flying fish became different.
The world of cultivation relies on strength to speak. Gu Changsheng proved this with practical actions, so he deserves the respect of many monks of the same realm in the early stage of foundation building.
