Chapter 317 Plucking Hair
Don't worry about whether you come out gracefully or not, you're out now anyway.
The small boat darted out with a "whoosh," and as soon as it touched the seawater, it saw a huge shadow approaching.
Thanks to the team's skillful maneuvering, the giant bone abyss fish swam incredibly fast, almost reaching the lead position. So, when the spirit boat emerged, it nearly crashed head-on into the entire beast horde.
What appeared to be a dark, imposing mountain ahead was actually just a giant, unidentified whale.
Countless small fish swam around the large fish, feeding on its scraps. When they saw a strange "shuttle-shaped stone" swimming by, many small demonic fish immediately attacked it.
The spirit boat accelerated at full speed, drawing a perfect arc in the deep sea, like the swirling skirt of a dancing fairy, elegant yet deadly.
The ship's bow smashed into several first- and second-grade demonic beasts that dared to block its path, turning them into a cloud of blood mist, causing the pursuing demonic beasts to stop and feast on them.
Their arrogant actions attracted the attention of several powerful monsters, causing the seemingly calm underwater currents to surge.
.....
Today is a good day for those living on the coast.
The sea is peaceful today, with calm waters. According to the predictions of human cultivators, a storm is expected to arrive in about six days. At that time, small groups of merfolk may take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack on the beachhead. The human cultivators are leisurely building their positions.
A few people quietly approached the cliff face and climbed down several meters to avoid the overseer's inspection and find a good opportunity to slack off.
The person who found this "good spot" has already settled in comfortably.
"Hey, you guys hurry up."
"Oh my, it has to be you. You can find it here. If you were in our hometown, you would definitely be the best feng shui master. People would hire you to find hanging coffin burial sites."
"Ha, I'll remember what you said. The day you die, I'll hang your portrait here."
The group was very relaxed, chatting idly. Cultivation was out of the question, impossible in this lifetime. They couldn't cultivate to a high level, and they couldn't win fights. The only way to maintain a certain mindset was to slack off.
They've almost become familiar with the small fishing boats ahead of them.
“Look, that long one, that fishing boat that looks like chopsticks, they like to dive down and catch abalone and sea cucumbers. They’re back so early, looks like they didn’t catch anything,” the man paused, then his eyes suddenly lit up, “Look at that one, that fat, chubby boat.”
"You're back at this hour and still haven't caught anything?"
"No, that guy uses a net to catch fish. He's back so early, he must have caught a full net. It's a bumper harvest today! Watch closely, our cook will be rushing over to get the fish in a bit."
Just as I was imagining what amazing fish dishes would appear today, suddenly, the sound of horns echoed throughout the entire coastline.
"What's that sound? It sounds like... it sounds like a red alert, level one alert!"
"What the hell? Isn't everything fine up ahead? The merfolk can't possibly come ashore from the coastline hundreds of kilometers away, then hike over several mountains to sneak up behind us and launch a surprise attack."
Some even suspected it was a drill, because they had been slacking off and the person who notified them hadn't been able to find them.
"No, look ahead!" Suddenly, someone shouted. In the far distance directly ahead, there was a small white dot. The waves emanating from it were what the observation team used in the most critical situations, and it even implied that they should disregard their own lives and prepare for battle with all their might.
The spirit boat acted as a dividing line; in front of it, all was peaceful, while behind it, waves surged, with countless enormous fish fins cleaving through the waves, chasing after the small boat.
These deep-sea behemoths swam so fast that they surpassed the ripples created by their own movement. Brilliant spiritual energy intertwined and annihilated each other, stirring up a devastating storm behind them.
"Run!"
Before they could climb the cliff, a burst of fire erupted from above, illuminating the sky in crimson. The earth shook violently, rocks flew down, and they were instantly slammed into the sea. The deafening roar of the cannon, which was almost face-to-face, deafened them, and some even fainted and did not wake up until they hit the sea.
The "feng shui master" only had one thought in his mind: "Who told you to lay the cannons flat?!"
.....
The Flame Wolf Army reacted extremely quickly, but the number of beasts coming from the front was simply too terrifying. They initially aimed at the terrifying storm in the distance following the signal, but the signal emitted by the spirit boat indicated that they should fire on the path ahead of the small boat.
What's the point of firing cannons in such a calm place?
The gunners all thought that the observation team had forgotten to change the signal when they fled in panic, until small islands appeared on the seabed ahead.
This was all thanks to Akame. During their escape, she kept an eye on the monster horde behind them and inadvertently discovered that they weren't the only ones hitching a ride.
Some giant crabs actually used their pincers to get stuck in the belly of a large fish, hanging upside down under the fish's body. As they approached the nearshore waters and swam forward, they used their eight legs to forcefully throw themselves forward.
They successfully reached the front of the big fish.
As crab shells emerged from the sea, the small boat could no longer maintain its original state, and the spiritual energy of the group was almost completely exhausted.
"Gentlemen, it's up to you to see what you're capable of."
The old woman raised her hand and threw out a talisman. The ancient blue talisman suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a cloud of fire capable of supporting two people. After waving her hand to retrieve the spirit boat, the old woman pulled the unconscious cultivator from the Hidden Wolf Army onto the boat and flew straight ahead.
The others called out their spirit pets. The observation group's spirit pets were all extremely fast demon beasts. At the moment, they didn't care about cherishing their pets and let them swallow the pills that stimulated their potential before they began to fly away at high speed.
In particular, the old woman always urged Tie Mingshen to summon a sea-riding deer. After swallowing a crimson pill, the second-grade demon beast suddenly burst out with the speed of a third-grade demon beast and charged forward.
"Red Bow, come up here."
Akame shook her head, then sat down on the leisurely red heron.
Zhong Ming almost cursed. "What are you doing here at a time like this? Who's faster than whom?!"
The little girl didn't say a word, just sat down on Honglu's lap, and then...
Delicate hand... oops, Red Heron says, a groping hand touched its rear end!
Its largest, reddest, longest, and most prized feather was plucked off in one go!
"Cuck!"
For a moment, Zhong Ming wondered if he had misheard. Was the noise coming from Honglu?
The next moment, he had no time to wonder. The speed of the Red Heron instantly increased to an unbelievable level. In just a few breaths, it even surpassed the speed of the Sea Deer.
