Chapter 1244: Whale Hunting
When Yan Qing and the others heard the words, they all showed a hint of shock. They obviously didn’t expect that the little girl who looked like a follower was actually an array master. They looked at Liu Ming in shock and doubt.
“Ping’er is indeed quite gifted in the art of array. If you are willing to help, I’m willing to increase the original 5 million spirit stones reward to 8 million. What do you think about it? “Liu Ming smiled slightly, glanced at Qian Rupin, and said so.
“Since Mr. Liu doesn’t need us to wait to deal with the cold incense whale, we are delighted to do such a trivial matter.” Yan Qing was joyful. He agreed without saying a word.
Fairy Jing and the burly man named Ge could get double the reward without any effort, so they naturally wouldn’t object. They exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
“Thank you for your cooperation. After this matter is over, I will naturally not treat you badly. However, I still need to confirm whether the cold incense whale is still here. It will not be too late to set up the array by that time.” Liu Ming cupped his fist and said with a smile.
Yan Qing and the other 2 of course didn’t have any objections.
In the following time, several people immediately restrained their aura, sneaked into the island, found a relatively hidden high ground to lurk, and released Divine Thought to wait quietly.
As a result, for 2 days in a row, the sea area around the entire island was calm. There was no strange movement at all. Qian Rupin took this opportunity to talk about her array plan with the other 3.
Yan Qing and the other 2 Real Pellet State cultivators, who were still somewhat disapproving at first, were stunned after listening to the explanation of the little girl who only had the early stage of the Crystallization Period.
During this period, Liu Ming had been observing the surroundings with full attention. He found that the dark green seaweed that was originally sparse around grew extremely fast. In the evening of the second day, it had become dense.
Until noon on the third day, a low-pitched roar suddenly came from below the sea surface on the east side of the island. Followed by huge waves, a giant whale in dark blue color emerged from the sea, spraying a huge water beam tens of meters high above its head.
Afterward, the whale opened its huge mouth, and an indescribably huge suction force swept out from it. In just a blink of an eye, all the ink tooth grass within a range of tens of meters around was sucked into its mouth.
Immediately afterward, the body with a size of 300 meters twisted its waist flexibly and dived back into the sea. Before the body was completely submerged, the huge tail slapped the sea surface, stirring a huge wave of hundreds of meters tall.
Although this giant whale took only 3 seconds from its appearance to its disappearance, for Liu Ming and other Real Pellet State cultivators, they could see it clearly.
“It really is a cold incense whale.” Liu Ming murmured thoughtfully after comparing the shape of the giant whale with the cold incense whale in his mind.
Now that he confirmed the existence of the cold incense whale, he naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. He immediately gave Qian Rupin a hint.
Qian Rupin smiled knowingly. After discussing with Yan Qing and the other 2, they immediately split up and started to set up the array.
Until night, a huge array was quietly arranged around the island under their arrangement.
If one looked down at the island from the air now, he could see Yan Qing, Fairy Jing and the burly man named Ge forming a triangle. Each of them was holding a blue formation flag in their hand and waving it non-stop.
At the same time, in the sea area around the island, strands of blue crystal silks quietly emerged and intertwined one after another. A huge ring-shaped net was gradually formed, sealing off the large sea area around the entire island.
Because these blue crystal silks did not transmit the slightest spiritual power fluctuation, they seemed invisible in the blue sea water, and the whole process was extremely quiet; so until the big net was formed, the fish swimming nearby didn’t notice it at all.
“Brother Ming, that cold incense whale is now a turtle in the urn. The rest is up to you.” Qian Rupin said with a slight smile, brushing a strand of hair soaked in sweat on her forehead.
Liu Ming nodded slightly toward her, then he dropped into the sea like a stone, setting off a small wave.
After 15 minutes, Liu Ming discovered a suspicious giant crack in the depths of a ditch near the island. The crack was about several hundred meters in size. There were still some fragments of ink teeth floating on the edge of the crack. From the crack, a strange faint fragrance wafted out faintly.
After Liu Ming observed the entrance for a while, joy flashed in his eyes. After concealing his aura, he carefully sneaked into the crack.
The outside of the crack looked a little bumpy, but the inside was surprisingly flat and smooth. There were some colorful corals around it. Under the reflection of some unknown fluorescent seaweeds, it looked quite fantastic.
Suddenly, Liu Ming’s expression changed.
Because he suddenly discovered a giant dark blue whale hundreds of meters in size. It was crouching and resting in the depths of this crack. It was the cold incense whale that he had seen before.
Judging from the coercion emanating from it, it turned out to be a Real Pellet State beastkin.
The cold incense whale seemed to be in a good mood at the moment. It was twisting its body from time to time to shuttle through the strange rocks in the sea.
But at this moment, the cold incense whale’s eyes suddenly moved. Its huge body turned, and it looked toward the sea not far away in surprise.
At that moment, a black light stream appeared and flew toward the cold incense whale at an unbelievable speed. The surrounding space was torn apart into a space several meters wide. He didn’t intend to hide his track at all.
Before the cold incense whale could see who was coming, Liu Ming appeared like a ghost after the black light faded.
Liu Ming didn’t give him a chance to react at all. He raised one hand, and a purple light stream shot out. The speed was so fast that it reached the whale in an instant.
The cold incense whale was obviously taken aback, but it subconsciously twisted its body to narrowly avoid the vital point.
But its back was pierced by the purple sword light. After another flash, it flew out from the other side of the cold incense whale’s body without any hindrance.
“Aoo…”
Accompanied by a low and long howl of pain, the cold incense whale flicked its giant tail. A wave of super-large icicles quickly appeared, overwhelmingly attacking Liu Ming in all directions.
Seeing this, Liu Ming swam forward instead of retreating. With a flick of his sleeves, 6 black mist dragons surged out and immediately burst open. A wave of black light instantly shrouded dark blue icicles.
With a burst of muffled sound coming from the black light ball, there was no more movement.
Seeing Liu Ming continue to approach, the cold incense whale spat out a cluster of bubble-like substances, turning the sea water white and viscous.
At the same time, the cold incense whale swung its giant tail again and again, ignoring the blood pouring out of its body. After a painful scream, it swam away quickly. The speed was so fast that even Liu Ming was surprised.
Seeing the overwhelming white bubbles, Liu Ming wrapped himself in a black light and flew in the direction where the cold incense whale was escaping.
As soon as the white bubbles came into contact with the black light on Liu Ming’s body surface, they turned into a cloud of white mist, but they were unable to stop Liu Ming at all.
But just after Liu Ming rushed out of the white bubbles, a strange scene appeared.
No matter how he released Divine Thought to sense, there was no trace of the cold incense whale at all.
Suddenly, Liu Ming squinted. He saw an inconspicuous bloodstain in the sea water in front of him, which was quickly dissipating.
Liu Ming flashed with black light and changed direction.
After just a few seconds, Liu Ming appeared at the place where the bloodstains had disappeared, but he found nothing except a few strains of blood.
At the same time, tens of miles away, the cold incense whale was covered by a layer of soft blue light. It seemed to be merging with the surrounding sea water, turning into an illusory form. The wound that was originally about 3 meters wide also recovered quickly.
This innate talent had allowed it to escape from powerful enemies several times.
The cold incense whale glanced back with lingering fear. Seeing that Liu Ming was shaken off by a certain distance and as long as it reached the deep sea, it was only a matter of time before it could get rid of the enemy.
But at this moment, there was a loud “boom“. The cold incense whale saw a flash of blue light in front, and its huge body seemed to hit a solid wall.
The huge impact set off a huge wave, which immediately made the cold incense whale dizzy for a while.
Just as it turned its head to look at the scene in front, it looked unbelievable.
In the originally empty sea water, countless crystal silks intertwined together, exuding an extremely blue light like a barrier connecting from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea. It was the trap arranged by Qian Rupin.
Liu Ming immediately showed a joyful expression after seeing this scene from a distance. He flew toward the cold incense whale immediately.
Perhaps because the cold incense whale was stunned after bumping into the barrier, it only looked back after sensing the danger.
At this moment, Liu Ming had already appeared hundreds of meters away. He waved both hands. The purple flying sword wrapped in lightning arcs shot toward the cold incense whale.
The next moment, dozens of purple sword lights shot from the Bitter Wheel Sword and formed a purple sword net, shrouding the cold incense whale.
