The faint smell of sea was disturbed by the sudden appearance of the sea beast, and a strong smell of blood filled Fang Yun's nostrils.
Fang Yun had seen this kind of sea beast in the ancient monster inheritance!
Translated into the human language it means "hanging lamp", which is considered a close relative of the ancient demon clan.
The dragon boat was already sixty-five feet long, but it was still not big enough for the dragon-shaped sea beast to swallow in one bite.
In the history of Xuehai, there are records of tower ships injuring sea beasts, but there are no records of defeating sea beasts.
Compared to sea beasts, typhoons and waves are just obstacles, while sea beasts are never-ending hunters!
All the characteristics of the sea beast with hanging lanterns instantly emerged in Fang Yun's mind, and he quickly made a judgment that such a large sea beast with hanging lanterns should be a demon king, which is equivalent to a university scholar in the human race, but its power in the sea of learning is limited.
If you encounter it in the real ocean, it will be very dangerous, and it is even more dangerous in the ocean of learning.
Fang Yun instinctively glanced at the ramming horn and the dragon scale fishing rod, then controlled the dragon boat to change direction, with the bow moving in a ninety-degree direction towards the direction of the sea monster.
In the surging snow-colored waves, the sea beast with hanging lights attacked like a water-splitter.
The dragon boat quickly floats up, ready to fly.
At this moment, a ferocious light flashed in the huge red eyes of the sea beast with hanging lanterns. It suddenly leaped into the sky at an incredible speed and pounced on the dragon boat like a dark cloud. In the blink of an eye, it was fifty feet away from the dragon boat and was approaching rapidly.
This time, the speed of the sea beast with hanging lanterns attacked faster than the flying charge of the dragon boat!
Fang Yun remained calm as he swung the fishing rod in his hand. Nine fish hooks flew out with a sharp whistling sound and hooked on the edge of the nostrils of the sea beast with hanging lanterns three feet above its upper jaw.
The ability of "Time is money" is activated, and all parts of the sea beast with hanging lanterns within a two-inch range of the nine fish hooks are attacked by the fish hooks.
The hundred-foot-long sea beast with lanterns hanging from its head suddenly stopped in the sky for a moment, its speed dropped drastically, and it let out an earth-shaking roar.
"Woooooo..."
The lamp on his forehead suddenly expanded by dozens of feet, like a flexible sea snake flying out and hitting the stern of the dragon boat.
boom…
The huge dragon tail behind the dragon boat was smashed into large pieces.
The dragon's tail was destroyed and the entire dragon boat began to shake more violently, but the speed did not change and it still flew at the speed of sound.
Fang Yun's eyes fell on the fragments of the dragon's tail that were exploding all over the sky, and his expression eased. A ship hit by this kind of sea beast with lanterns would be broken into pieces, but the dragon's tail of the dragon boat was only broken into pieces, which showed that the dragon boat was very strong!
The hanging lamp on the head of the hanging lantern sea beast is its most powerful attack force.
The dragon boat can fly for ten breaths, and after ten breaths, the dragon boat is already seven miles away.
The lantern-hanging sea beast roared angrily and continued to chase.
Except for the time when it leaps and accelerates, the speed of the sea beast with hanging lanterns is usually only slightly faster than that of an ordinary ship. Any ship with the ability to accelerate can avoid it.
It is difficult to shake off the sea beast, and it will chase after it, especially if it injures the vulnerable parts of the sea beast.
Fang Yun looked back at the sea beast with hanging lanterns. As long as he maintained a normal speed, the sea beast with hanging lanterns would not be able to catch up.
Fang Yun was thinking in his mind, while looking around, trying to find the ship of the Zong and Lei families.
"If nothing unexpected happens, at least five ships from Zong Lei's fleet will enter here. After all, they are university scholars or imperial scholars, even if their talents are not as good as those geniuses. However, their years of experience have allowed them to continue to grow, and the artistic conception of their poems far exceeds that of ordinary imperial examination candidates. It is not too difficult to enter the heart of the sea."
After looking for a long time, Fang Yun did not see any other ships, because there were sea beasts everywhere in the center of the sea, and the light was distorted, making it impossible to detect them from a distance.
Fang Yun kept flying while searching for the school of fish. After flying twenty miles away, he could no longer see the sea beast with lanterns hanging on it, but he knew very well that the sea beast could see him and must be chasing him.
After flying for so long, Fang Yun saw seven schools of fish, each with nearly a thousand fish. Unfortunately, the Wenxin fish in these schools were less than five feet long and were all low-grade Wenxin fish.
Fang Yun continued flying, and half a minute later, he discovered another sea monster!
Before Fang Yun could see clearly, he saw a blue lightning flying towards him from the sea beast. The lightning was originally a hundred feet long, but it kept shrinking during the flight. Finally, when it reached near the dragon boat, it was less than ten feet long.
"Boom..."
The thunderbolt hit the rear deck of the ship.
There was a large hole about ten feet square on the rear deck, and the edges of the hole were charred black.
Fang Yun immediately knew that it was the "Thunder Tongue Sea Beast". It looked like a knife fish or cutlassfish, and was only ten feet long, much smaller than a dragon boat. However, it had a ten-foot-long tongue, and when it stuck out its tongue, it could emit a bolt of lightning.
At this moment, the dragon boat is twenty-five miles away from the Thunder Tongue Sea Beast!
The Thunder Tongue Sea Beast is not the strongest sea beast among the ancient monsters. Whether it is the Hurricane Ghost Fish, the Thousand Wave Seahorse or the Hundred-legged Crab, even the common Hundred-mile Jellyfish is stronger than the Thunder Tongue Sea Beast, but it is the undisputed number one ship killer in the sea of learning.
Fang Yun used all his strength to steer the dragon boat to escape. After the dragon boat was hit by four blue lightning bolts, it was completely out of the attack range of the Thunder Tongue Sea Beast.
At this time, the dragon's tail had been completely repaired!
Four lightning bolts struck four holes on the dragon boat, and the holes at the back recovered faster than the holes at the front.
After sailing for a while, a ship appeared in front.
An old man in blue robes, Zong Chengbing, stood at the bow.
There are many hybrids of the Ice Clan and humans, among whom the Zeng and Zong families have the highest literary qualifications. And Zong Chengbing is the Ice Clan scholar with the highest literary qualification and strength in the Zong family!
In front of Zong Chengbing, there was a silver wave. Fang Yun looked closely and found that it was actually a group of top-notch Wenxin fish!
The school of fish was densely packed, and a rough estimate was that there were more than a thousand of them. Among them were quite a few medium-quality Wenxin fish, and the number was definitely no less than twenty!
"A school of fish comparable to the eye of a typhoon!"
Fang Yun's eyes swept across Zong Chengbing's boat. Zong Chengbing was also participating in the race. The Wenxin fish he caught was the same as Fang Yun's, both wrapped in bubbles and floating on the boat.
There were six Wenxin fish floating on Zong Chengbing’s ship, one of which was a medium-quality, top-quality Wenxin fish that was more than six feet long!
This number is enough to rank among the top 200 anglers in Xuehai.
The sea breeze was blowing gently, Fang Yun stood at the dragon head with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
"Dragon boat, charge!"
Never quarrel if you can take action!
After a few breaths, Zong Chengbing suddenly looked towards Fang Yun, his eyes widened involuntarily, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"You... didn't get sunk?" Zong Chengbing's voice seemed to tremble a little, and then he asked, "Where did you get so many Wenxin fish?"
Zong Chengbing paused for a moment, as if to ask Ninja, but couldn't help asking, "Why did your dragon boat become so big and so fast, and why can it fly?"
A great scholar should not have lost his composure like this, but as the main force behind the Zong family's plot against Fang Yun, Zong Chengbing could not help but ask Fang Yun three questions.
Zong Chengbing could not see anything else but the huge dragon boat, the hundreds of Wenxin fish on the dragon boat, and Fang Yun, who was dressed in white clothes as white as snow.
"After the shipwreck of the Grand Master of the Sect, we will know the answer." Fang Yun replied calmly. (To be continued...)
