Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 187 - 98: Sea Serpent, Ocean Tempest

However, this shadow was different from the sea fish; it opened its mouth and sprayed a stream of water, dissolving the Sword Qi, then suddenly accelerated towards them.

Su Yu was quite surprised. He formed Sword Qi in his hands and flung it over, but saw the figure deftly twist to dodge the two strands of Sword Qi, opening its mouth to unleash a dark current that came straight at him. As the target got closer, he could see its form clearly.

Round, muscular, and agile body, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a firm protrusion on the head—it was a giant sea serpent, level 108, elite template.

"What a coincidence!"

Just as he disembarked, he encountered the target.

Su Yu immediately called Ao Run, summoned his two swords and confronted the sea serpent with two strands of Sword Qi, launching a fierce assault.

The sea serpent opened its mouth and spewed a dark green current, contaminating a large area of seawater. Even from afar, the air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell, clearly containing potent toxins.

Su Yu dared not touch it with his body, so he soared into the sky, bursting through the surface of the sea.

The sea serpent, incredibly fierce, gave chase, its enormous body launching itself four or five hundred meters into the air. With a hoarse, ear-splitting roar, its massive form arched and snapped, sending hundreds of dark green light darts skyward like a storm of arrows.

Su Yu reached out his hand and made a grasping motion. A massive hand materialized and scooped, trembled slightly, and the dark green projectiles exploded upon impact with the hand.

"Bang!"

He slapped the sea serpent directly into the sea. Meanwhile, Ao Run arrived, ejecting a Meridian Cold Tide that froze a large expanse of water. The hundred-meter-long sea serpent fell from hundreds of meters high, crashing onto the ice, shattering it, and taking over two hundred thousand damage.

The serpent fell into the ice chasm, and an azure dragon emerged from the sea, biting the serpent’s neck, wrapping its massive body around it to subdue it.

Su Yu released the massive hand and drove his two swords and strands of Sword Qi down, lashing the sea serpent with lightning-like strikes, leaving trails of blood.

The level 108 elite monster was no match for Ao Run; entangled, it couldn’t break free, and with relentless sword strikes, it quickly succumbed to its injuries.

"Simple!"

A sweep of the sword light collected a few spoils of war, among them a sea serpent skeleton 135 meters long, worth 10 gold at market price, with a 20% premium making it 12 gold.

Adding the other spoils, the total value should be over twenty gold.

Though not much, it was just a random find.

Without resting, he dove back into the sea and swam in the direction the sea serpent had come from.

But after searching for ten minutes in the sea serpent’s direction, encountering only a small group of water creatures, he found no second sea serpent.

Just as he thought there were none, Sun Feng’s voice came to his ear:

"Mr. Su, come to the surface. I’ve found over a hundred giant sea serpents, with more than twenty of them level 100+."

"Copy that."

He immediately soared into the air and emerged above the sea, soon spotting Sun Feng and Zhang Zhiling standing in the air a few kilometers away, and a small squad approaching from the Poison Dragon Battleship.

He quickly reached the two of them, just in time to see the sea explode and over a hundred sea serpents breaching the water’s surface, spitting dark green water arrows.

Among them, an exceptionally large sea serpent roared, summoning massive amounts of Gui Water Elites and forming over a hundred Gui Water Divine Thunders, which rained down.

Prepared, the two soared into the air to evade the poisonous volley. Sun Feng drove his twin swords into the water to draw in the serpents, while Zhang Zhiling gathered and hurled Five Flames Divine Thunders.

Su Yu joined, immediately unleashing his dual swords to strike.

At that moment, a seven-person team approached from the Poison Dragon Battleship, with the leader calling out loudly:

"How about forming a temporary team?"

"Sure!"

The team was quickly organized, and everyone unleashed their Flying Sword Treasures, bombarding the sea serpents.

Daring to face a large group of sea serpents, including over twenty level-100 ones, these players were no weaklings; their magical treasures and Daoist techniques were powerful, and they first bombarded the sea serpents below level 100 into oblivion.

"Everyone takes a few; our squad will take fifteen."

The squad worked together to encircle most of the level-100 sea serpents, including the two-hundred-meter-long sea serpent leader.

Sun Feng and Zhang Zhiling immediately said:

"We’ll take five."

Five remained, but only Su Yu was alone. The seven-person squad’s leader was about to allocate two more to him to ease his burden, but Su Yu spoke first, saying:

"I’ll take the remaining five."

Everyone was astonished and wanted to persuade him, but then saw an azure dragon emerge from the water, freezing the five sea serpents with a single Meridian Cold Tide.

Someone exclaimed in shock:

"It’s a dragon, and a terrifying template BOSS. Killing it will certainly yield good stuff." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Someone quick to react slashed down intending to draw aggro, but was intercepted mid-way by Su Yu’s twin swords.

The man frowned and asked:

"What are you trying to do? Hog it all to yourself?"

Before Su Yu could explain, Sun Feng shouted from not far away:

"Mr. Li, this dragon is Mr. Su’s spirit pet, it can’t be killed."

The man was taken aback and saw the dragon slam the ice apart with its tail, biting a sea serpent, while others surrounded it.

Su Yu summoned his dual swords, his mind activating Thunderbolt, boosting attack power and Sword Control speed by 50%.

Next, he wielded his swords in unison, merging the flying swords; the sword light surged brilliantly, then quickly extinguished with no trace of the swords, but suddenly in the sea, a flash of blood erupted on the sea serpent biting Ao Run from head to tail, creating a gaping wound large enough to nearly split it open.

-32,120

-32,140

-32160

.....

The sword light appeared and vanished suddenly, flickering like lightning, and several large sea serpents continuously manifested deep, bone-revealing wounds as if haunted by specters.

The maximum attack of the Thunderbolt Sword was 4470, activating Thunderbolt +50% made it 6705. The combination of two swords resulted in a total of 11175 damage. Multiplying that by three amounted to 33525 damage.

After deducting defense, each strike under the twin sword combination dealt as much as thirty-two thousand damage.

With the attack speed of the twin sword combination, easily striking fourteen to fifteen times in a second, the terrifying burst reached as high as four hundred and fifty thousand.

In less than a brief four seconds, the sea serpent biting Ao Run was already chopped into sixteen pieces.

Eight seconds later, the second sea serpent was slain.

Twelve seconds later, the third sea serpent was turned into a dozen fragments.

Sixteen seconds later, the fourth sea serpent met the same fate.

At the twentieth second, the last sea serpent was turned into minced flesh.

In just a brief twenty seconds, five level 100+ sea serpents were turned into dozens of pieces, with blood spraying and dyeing the sea red.

At this time, other teams were still tangled in confusion and hesitation.

His burst of power was absolutely exaggerated, leaving everyone astonished.

From not far away, Sun Feng let out a strange shout:

"Twin sword combination, so strong!"

"I’ll join too!"

He also forcefully combined his twin swords, merging them into a stream of light diving into the sea, and in an instant, thick blood grooves appeared on the five sea serpents.

Judging by the damage, his twin sword combination was forcefully combined through Swordsmanship. It was not the inherent twin sword combination of the Flying Sword, lacking in both lethality and speed compared to Su Yu’s. It only lasted twelve seconds before he had to exit the combination state.

But within those twelve seconds, he also quickly killed two sea serpents, and the remaining three sea serpents were no longer a match for them.

Su Yu reached out and collected the loot, with one Level 100+ sea serpent dropping two sea serpent skeletons, along with other materials and a Tier Four Magical Treasure, totaling approximately 110 gold in value.

"The drop rate’s pretty high!"

Su Yu increasingly felt that the effect of Heart +1 was better than expected.

Improving luck and drop rates, seemingly insignificant at first, but over time, the additional income grew considerable.

After taking out these five sea serpents, Su Yu stood aside to oversee.

After Sun Feng and another swiftly killed two, the threat from the remaining three sea serpents was minimal, taking their time grinding them down.

Another team of seven had two leaders with very powerful abilities, each holding a Tier Seven Magical Treasure — one attack type, one group defense type — forming a light curtain protecting the entire team, directly facing a dozen sea serpents.

Seeing there was no danger, Su Yu turned and dove into the sea, continuing to search for suitable monsters.

One person, one dragon separated, slowly diving, and soon Ao Run lured a group of sea fish over.

Not finding sea serpents was fine, leveling up leisurely was also good.

Unintentionally spending more than two hours at the seabed without encountering a single sea serpent, but instead generating a pile of Aquatic Race monsters.

Su Yu was about to change direction when someone contacted him through the channel, opening it to see a notification from the leader of the Vast Sea Gang:

"Everyone return immediately, a sea storm is coming."

Su Yu was startled at heart and immediately began to ascend.

Reaching the surface quickly, he saw a black line rolling up on the sea in the distance, even at first glance recognizing it as a hugely destructive sea hurricane.

From east to west, spanning infinitely beyond view, the hurricane covered an area likely over a thousand kilometers wide, heading straight towards their location.

"Get on the ship quickly!"

Two unfamiliar players surfaced from the nearby sea, loudly calling to the dazed Su Yu.

He snapped back to reality and quickly stored Ao Run, soaring towards the nearby Poison Dragon Battleship, returning to the deck and looking back, seeing squads of players who ventured out to sea returning hurriedly.

A leader of the Vast Sea Gang on the deck loudly ordered:

"Activate the battleship shield in a minute, everyone get in position to supply mana for the shield."

Twenty-five minutes later, the storm was upon them, like a towering wall crashing down.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the world turned to darkness, the violent hurricane engulfing the battleship, waves over a hundred meters high surging, making the entire sea seem to sway as if pushed by an enraged deity.

In the storm stood black wind pillars reaching from sea to sky, drawing seawater upwards, turning to pouring rain crashing down.

In this terrifying storm resembling heaven overturning earth, the giant ship over a thousand meters long was tossed high and plunged into the abyss, surrounded by water outside the barrier, uncertain if it was in the sky or under the sea, indistinguishable from heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

A massive creature several hundred meters long was lifted by the hurricane, crashing heavily into the battleship’s shield. On closer look, it was a Level 156 giant sea serpent.

After a while, with another loud crash, another massive creature slammed into the battleship’s bow. On closer look, it was a Thousand-legged Golden Turtle Crab with a shell diameter of over a hundred meters.

The crab’s shell was cracked open, spilling large amounts of golden fluid crab paste from the fissure.

"What a pity!"

This BOSS was already critically injured, but in such a situation, no one dared leave the ship’s barrier to go outside.
