Chapter 180: Brother Xu Qing
At this very moment, while Xu Qing was galloping in this Forbidden Sea, rapidly absorbing one sea beast after another, in the sky some distance away from him, three huge black wood ancient warships were roaring forward in the firmament.
These three warships, which revealed an ancient aura, looked like three giant trees from afar.
Black light shields shone on them, sealing all the aura inside, making it very difficult for outsiders to detect the slightest bit. At the same time, looking from the outside, it was also very difficult to identify the origin.
And in fact, these were Sea Corpse Clan flying warships after concealment.
The power source of this kind of warship is heterogenous matter, so to some extent, their endurance in the sky is astonishing, and they can absorb the heterogenous matter between heaven and earth at any time to merge into them.
Right now, on these three Sea Corpse Clan warships, there were over a hundred Sea Corpse Clan cultivators. However, the vast majority of them were Qi Condensation clansmen, and only four had extraordinary cultivation bases, revealing Foundation Establishment fluctuations.
And these four were not ordinary Foundation Establishment; they were all cultivators who had formed Life Fires, especially on the strongest warship, where a Sea Corpse Clan member wearing white robes stood. Although he didn't open the Profound Radiance State, the residual waves of two fires on his body were equally obvious.
He was clearly the leader of the cultivators of these three warships. At this moment, he was gazing into the distance, his gray pupils revealing a hint of coldness. His whole person stood there like a piece of cold ice, and it seemed that all things were very difficult to attract his attention.
And beside him followed a young girl.
This young girl was also a Sea Corpse Clan member, in the appearance of a human. Clearly, she had been pampered before death, and her status after being transformed was also extremely high, so not only did she not have any corpse poison aura on her body, but her skin was snow-white, without a trace of corpse spots.
Her appearance was also very good-looking, vaguely revealing a hint of cuteness.
Especially the agility in her eyes was much more than that of ordinary Sea Corpse Clan members, and even if she was placed in a crowd, it was very difficult to see that she was a Sea Corpse Clan member without careful identification.
At this moment, she was pulling the arm of the white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member, acting like a spoiled child.
"Brother Xu Qing, just tell me, okay? How did you find me? I clearly already hid my identity very carefully."
The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member shook his head when he heard this, but he couldn't bear the soft-spoken begging of the girl beside him. So, after the girl directly took out a black stone, he took it over, put it away, and spoke indifferently.
"Third Princess, knowledge is priceless. Since you respect knowledge so much, then I will tell you. Before I became a Sea Corpse Clan member, I was a disciple of the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes and had learned some small magic techniques. That's how I saw through the Princess's identity."
"Princess, the King is already very anxious, so he issued such a mission to find you back. Please don't make things difficult for me. The journey ahead doesn't need to be too long, and we can return to the clan land. Don't throw things around casually. Once you provoke an existence that cannot be provoked, it won't be good." The white-robed Sea Corpse Clan member looked at the girl beside him calmly.
"Okay, but Brother Xu Qing, don't forget what you promised me. After returning to the clan land, you have to be transferred to become my exclusive protector. Brother Xu Qing, I especially like your personality. I feel you are very special. When I ask you questions, you actually want me to pay spirit stones before you say it. Other clansmen don't dare to be like this."
"And your words, such as knowledge is priceless, respect knowledge, etc., I like them all very much. So special." The girl looked at the white robe and smiled.
The white robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and responded indifferently.
"Xu Qing will not break his promise. As long as the Princess lets me successfully complete the mission, let alone become a protector, even if the Princess wants Xu Qing to become your male pet, it is all possible. If Xu Qing breaks his promise, he will definitely be struck by lightning!"
"Can I really make you my male pet, Brother Xu Qing?" The Third Princess's eyes lit up.
"Naturally!" The white robe coughed lightly.
At the same time... in the distant Forbidden Sea, Xu Qing's whole body shook at this moment, a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes, he stared at the pitch-black seabed in front, and his body slowly retreated.
On the seabed he was looking at, there was shockingly a group of illusory and blurry figures moving forward in groups, and in front of them, there was actually a city.
This city existed with a large number of buildings, and one could see countless figures coming and going inside. There were even bustling sounds coming from it, and there were many shops and stalls in the city, and the ghosts coming and going were endless.
At a glance, it was not much different from the main city of the Seven Blood Eyes, quite lively.
But this scene made Xu Qing intensely vigilant. Even with his current cultivation combat power, he felt heart-palpitating, and a strong sense of crisis rose.
This was a ghost city.
What brought the sense of crisis to Xu Qing was not the ghosts in the city, but the city itself.
So his retreat was without hesitation. In an instant, he moved far away, and that ghost city didn't seem to be very interested in him either and didn't chase after him.
But Xu Qing, while on guard, still chose to change direction and move forward, until he was completely far away, and his heart relaxed.
"The danger of this seabed, with my current cultivation base, still cannot be explored too frequently."
This was already the second existence that made Xu Qing heart-palpitating that he had seen during this period. Before the first one, he saw a huge head floating up on the seabed, rushing out of the sea surface, then falling down like playing, and rushing into the sea again.
Constantly repeating, making bursts of happy laughter.
That time was the same as this time. Xu Qing avoided it from afar and did not have a conflict, but Xu Qing could not be sure that good luck would exist for a long time. The third time he encountered something similar, perhaps it would be the arrival of a huge crisis.
So after pondering, he left the seabed and chose to take out the magic boat and sit on it, relying on the shadow and his own Forbidden Sea Dragon to observe and hunt.
"The second stage of Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits is almost complete. It is better to be cautious next." Xu Qing thought of this, sat cross-legged, his perception spread under the sea, and landed on his own Forbidden Sea Dragon.
At this moment, this life-bound dragon of his was no longer in the appearance of a plesiosaur, but had become a body similar to a Cang Dragon. This was Xu Qing's realization after killing that Cang Dragon, which he adjusted from the Forbidden Sea Plesiosaur.
"It's a pity that I only killed one. Otherwise, I could have made my Forbidden Sea Dragon imitate it even more similarly." Xu Qing closed his eyes.
Time passed, and seven days passed.
Xu Qing's total time out at sea this time had been several months. And the sea area where he was was far away from the Mermaid Clan battlefield. He didn't know how the war was now, but he could see the comprehensive ranking on his identity token, which had changed from the original fifty-plus to over one hundred.
This shows that the intensity of the war seems to be even greater.
But Xu Qing didn't care about these at this moment. In these seven days, his Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits had finally approached saturation after absorbing some more sea beasts.
"Find one more Foundation Establishment sea beast to absorb, and the inheritance seed of Jin Wu Refines Ten Thousand Spirits can be completely activated!" Xu Qing looked forward, his heart sinking into the Forbidden Sea Cang Dragon under the sea, and began to look for a suitable sea beast.
The shadow also spread quite a few shadow eyes along the way, cooperating with the search, and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor had been under the sea, searching along with the Cang Dragon.
And just at the moment Xu Qing's heart sank into it, he suddenly felt his heart move, opened his eyes fiercely, and looked up at the sky.
At this moment, it was dusk. Red clouds filled the sky, one after another, like autumn leaves covering the sky. And in these red clouds, on the distant horizon, three black wood-like strange warships entered Xu Qing's eyes.
Xu Qing looked at these three warships, his eyes condensed. He couldn't perceive any fluctuations in these three warships, nor could he see the figures inside. At the same time, there was no mention of this kind of warship in the Seven Blood Eyes' records.
So Xu Qing couldn't recognize the origin at the first time.
But his vigilance was very high. Although the other party looked like they were just passing by, Xu Qing not only opened all the magic boat's protection but also chose to sink and become a submerged state.
In this way, if they were really passing by, seeing Xu Qing avoiding them, then in all likelihood, they wouldn't take action. Even if they really took action, Xu Qing was also prepared to counterattack or accelerate to escape.
But just at the moment Xu Qing's magic boat had just sunk to the seabed, suddenly, from the three warships in the sky, from the first one, a white-as-jade woman's hand stretched out.
This hand held a black bead. After loosening it lightly, this bead suddenly erupted with lightning, and toward the sea surface where Xu Qing had dived below, it went away suddenly at an incomparably amazing speed.
The momentum was strong, earth-shattering, and in that bead, one could see a rune sealed.
Xu Qing's eyes condensed, controlling the magic boat to move away instantly, but the next instant, his expression changed.
Because the rune in the falling bead only flashed once, it actually made this bead look like a teleportation, appearing very abruptly under the sea, appearing above Xu Qing's magic boat.
This kind of speed exceeded Xu Qing's prediction. Controlling the magic boat to dodge was already too late. The next instant, a roar echoed directly, stirring up the surrounding seawater to collapse and spread. Xu Qing's magic boat collapsed, and countless broken pieces floated up from the seabed and floated on the sea surface.
Looking at it, the scattered fragments on the sea surface were dense, as if the magic boat had been completely collapsed and disintegrated.
"Oops, it's not that durable, it was shattered by one of my thunders. Not fun, not fun, but the way it bloomed looks so good." In the firmament, the Sea Corpse Clan girl lay on the edge of the warship's railing, looked down, and spoke with a smile.
But the white robe beside her had a slight stagnation in his breathing, and a hint of strangeness appeared in his eyes. Looking at the disintegrated magic boat from the edge, after a few breaths, he sighed for a long time.
"Third Princess, why bother? I just wanted to complete a mission. How can it be so difficult!! Can't you be low-key? What if you provoke some demon star or someone who kills a thousand knives, what should we do?"
Speaking of this, the white robe seemed incomparably depressed, simply taking an apple from his robe and taking a fierce bite.
"Brother Xu Qing, what's wrong with you? It's just a boat of the Seven Blood Eyes. Besides, it was shattered by one of the divine thunders given by my father who deserves to die. What's the matter?" The girl smiled, her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon.
The white robe shook his head, looking like he didn't want to talk, sighed, and was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's address to her father. At this moment, he controlled the warship to accelerate forward.
Soon, these three black wood-like warships roared away in the sky.
At the same time, as these three warships left, the fragments of the magic boat on the sea surface suddenly scattered with the rolling of the waves.
Under the sea surface, there was actually a magic boat that was one size smaller than before but more ferocious, showing the body of a sea lizard, galloping and chasing in the direction where the three black woods in the sky went!
The part destroyed before was Zhang San's original method, the outer shell formed for Xu Qing's magic boat, which shattered at a touch, and the deception was excellent.
At this moment, Xu Qing stood on the real magic boat, his expression ugly, looking up, his gaze breaking through the seawater toward the black dots transformed by the three warships in the sky, and killing intent rose in his eyes.
