After the people from the Sea Dragon Palace threw the golden net into the sea, the fleet formed a circle on the sea, with the golden net in the middle of the circle.
After the formation was completed, someone on a boat took out a piece of red mud-like substance from a wooden box.
A wooden stick was pierced into the mud from the bottom, and then the entire mud was rolled into a cylindrical shape and wrapped around a thin wooden stick. The mud seemed to become a little harder and could completely adhere to the wooden stick, becoming something like a candle.
Zou Tian and Ye Li, who were in the distance, looked down at the boat. Although the distance was far, they could still see it more or less clearly.
Zou Tian said: “Sir, that thin wooden stick is made of dead paulownia wood core, which is very easy to ignite.
And another characteristic is that the soft incense will harden into something like wax when it comes into contact with the core of dead paulownia wood.
They now make the incense into a candle, which emits a strong fragrance as long as it is lit.
This scent can penetrate directly into the seawater, and even the golden fire shrimp in the deep sea can smell it."
After hearing Zou Tian’s explanation, Ye Li nodded in understanding.
The people of the Sea Dragon Palace placed the fire and incense in a tube-shaped object similar to a candlestick, with only a pointed end exposed outside.
After it was lit with fire, a cloud of smoke slowly came out and floated in the air.
It's strange to say, after the smoke floated out, there was no sign of dissipating. From where Ye Li was standing, the smoke surrounded the ship like a curtain.
A talisman master from the Sea Dragon Palace on the ship threw out a wind-moving talisman in his hand, and a whirlwind immediately blew up around, sweeping up a stream of smoke that floated towards the circle formed by the ship.
After the smoke came into contact with water, it was easily absorbed into the sea water. It seemed that just as Zou Tian said, the smell of the burning incense could spread to the deep sea water.
Ye Li and Zou Tian stood on the cliff and did not fight. Ye Li said, "Zou Tian, if a fight breaks out later, you don't have to fight, just watch from here."
Zou Tian naturally knew that his cultivation was too weak. If a fight really started, he would not only be unable to help, but would become a burden instead.
Ye Li’s cultivation has reached a level close to the peak, and he doesn’t need any help at all.
While we were watching, there seemed to be some movement in the sea water. The originally calm sea surface, within the circle formed by the ships, began to sway.
Faintly, Ye Li looked down from above and could see a red shadow wandering under the sea.
"Here it comes, the Golden Fire Shrimp has taken the bait!!!"
Zou Tian whispered on the cliff.
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of water suddenly gushed out from the sea and rushed towards the ship that was burning fire and incense.
This stream of water was as thick as a giant tree. After it gushed out, it instantly turned into an icicle in the air, and the impact force suddenly increased greatly.
If we were not careful and allowed the ice spike to hit the ship, a big hole would likely be knocked into it.
"Here we go, get ready!!!"
A roar came from the ship.
A group of talisman masters immediately cast defensive spells to protect the attacked ship.
The icicle hit the defensive spell and immediately broke into pieces of ice that fell onto the sea.
A red light suddenly rushed out from the sea and then rushed towards the ship.
At the same time, two masters of the divine realm who had been prepared on the side threw out two talismans, and the power of wind and thunder emerged, attacking the red golden fire shrimp.
The Golden Fire Shrimp appears to be covered in hard red armor. Its huge body is like a shark, and its pair of claws are even larger.
But its realm was much lower than that of a god after all. It barely dodged and hid in the sea, avoiding the direct attack of the wind and thunder talisman.
But even so, the power of thunder spread in the sea, and it still electrocuted the golden fire shrimp so hard that its body twisted and churned in the sea.
However, the Golden Fire Shrimp seemed unwilling to leave. Even though it knew that the enemy was much stronger than it, it still wanted to rush onto the ship.
Just as Zou Tian had experienced, the Golden Fire Shrimp just wanted to swallow the fire incense. The smell was too tempting for it.
The Golden Fire Shrimp did not jump out of the water again. Injured by the power of thunder and lightning, it accelerated in the sea water and rushed straight to the bottom of the ship where the fire and incense were burning.
“Quickly pull the net!!!”
A master in the divine realm immediately gave the order.
On the ship with fire and incense burning, a group of talisman masters quickly pulled up the golden net. A teeth-grinding friction sound was heard as the golden net wire rubbed against the armor of the Golden Fire Shrimp.
A huge force suddenly erupted, and the golden fire shrimp struggled desperately in the golden wire net.
However, the golden wire net was specially set up to tie it up, so it was impossible for it to break free easily. With the concerted efforts of everyone, they used the mechanical tools of the net to pull the golden fire shrimp directly up from under the sea.
The golden fire shrimp wrapped in the golden wire net twisted its body frantically, but could not break free from the net. Instead, the net became tighter and tighter and could not be untied at all.
After being hung in the air, it had nowhere to escape and became like a fish or shrimp on the chopping board, waiting to die.
The two masters in the divine level smiled. Just as they were about to cast a spell to kill the golden fire shrimp, a sharp cry was heard in the sky.
A stream of green light descended from the sky and flew past the boat in an instant.
The falling green light was exactly Xiaoqing who had been hovering in the sky for a long time. At this time, Xiaoqing landed in front of the boat. Its sharp claws instantly tore the golden wire net apart, and then it grabbed the golden fire shrimp with its claws.
With a flap of its wings, a hurricane blew up, immediately blowing the talisman master on the boat to the ground with his limbs spread out.
Xiao Qing grabbed the Golden Fire Shrimp and flew directly to the nearby Hanliu Island. In the air, it used its sharp long beak to kill the Golden Fire Shrimp on its claws in one blow, thus preventing the Golden Fire Shrimp from struggling on its feet.
After killing the Golden Fire Shrimp, Xiao Qing flew to the Hanliu Island and dropped the Golden Fire Shrimp directly on an ice and snow platform at the foot of the iceberg where Ye Li was.
The people in the Sea Dragon Palace in the distance were all frightened when they saw Xiaoqing appear. After all, most people were familiar with the divine beast Qingluan. Even if ordinary talisman masters did not know the two masters in the divine stage, they could recognize Qingluan.
The two of them naturally knew what level of demon beast Qingluan was at, and when they saw the Golden Fire Shrimp being snatched away, they didn't dare to even have the slightest thought of snatching it back.
However, when Xiaoqing threw the Golden Fire Shrimp onto Hanliu Island and flew away directly, the minds of the two Divine Spirit Stage masters began to become active, and they began to think about landing on the island. (To be continued)
