Chapter 1153: Black Fish Snakes

The aura on the dragon boat gradually became suppressed. The Black Fish Snakes in the void brought heavy pressure to everyone.

The Black Fish Snakes were not scary. 10 or 8 of them could be easily dealt with by the guards on the huge flying boat. There was no need for everyone to make a move.

Nonetheless, there were too many Black Fish Snakes in the void at the moment. They were densely packed and countless. There were at least thousands of them.

Adult Black Fish Snakes had the strength of a Venerable One. Such strength could be considered an expert’s level in a small world.

The person in charge of the dragon boat walked out. It was an old man in a white robe. His eyes were somewhat solemn.

These Black Fish Snakes did not attack. Instead, they waited in an orderly manner as if they were waiting for an order.

What did this mean? It meant that there was definitely a king among the Black Fish Snakes.

The king of the Black Fish Snakes was a terrifying fellow.

At this time, the old man’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted, “Quick! Open all the formations!”

Following the old man’s shout…

Colorful protective barriers rose from all sides of the giant flying boat. These protective barriers separated the flying boat from the void.

The old man took a step forward and bowed to everyone, then he said, “Friends, we didn’t expect to encounter so many Black Fish Snakes this time. I’d like to ask for your help. For this, the Chamber of Commerce is willing to refund half of the fee for everyone.”

It was common to encounter Starry Sky Beasts on the way. Those who often rode on the flying boat had stood up. At this moment, the people on the boat and the Chamber of Commerce were on the same side. They would rise and fall together.

Of course, there were also some weaker ones among them. Their eyes were filled with panic. It was worth noting that the situation this time was rare. If the flying boat was destroyed, they would be swallowed by those frightening Black Fish Snakes.

The 7 bald men stood up first. Their bodies were filled with murderous intents. One of them glanced at the crowd disdainfully and shouted coldly, “A bunch of cowards. You’re scared by this small scene?”

Subsequently, the bald man who was angry at Jianjia earlier looked at the old man and said coldly, “Steward of the Chamber of Commerce, they don’t need to do anything. Just leave these fellas to us. The subsidized spirit coins and the carcasses of the Black Fish Snakes must be handed over to us.”

The Starry Sky Hunters hunt Starry Sky Demonic Beasts for a living. The demonic beasts that looked horrifying to others were just piles of shiny spirit coins to them.

When the old man saw them, he looked a little excited. Although these Starry Sky Hunters were sometimes quite annoying and put their interests first, given the situation, they were everyone’s hope to survive.

The old man’s eyes were filled with hesitation as he asked in a deep voice, “Sirs, do you really not need help from the others? There must be a king behind these Black Fish Snakes. You…”

“Are you doubting our strengths?”

The leader of the hunters looked at the old man with a dangerous glint in his eyes as a powerful aura burst out.

“A Ruler!”

The people around cried out in alarm, and then hurriedly moved away. Starry Sky Hunters were already stronger than other equal-ranked cultivators, hence the strengths of Starry Sky Hunters who were Rulers were incredibly fearsome.

“Sir, you’re strong enough.” The old man took a deep breath, then he said with a troubled expression, “If you make a move, we’ll also cooperate fully, and the carcasses of the Black Fish Snakes will be handed over to you. However, I’ll need the consent of the other guests for the spirit coins that’ll be returned.”

“Hahaha…” The leader of the hunters glanced at everyone with a cold gaze before laughing out loud. “Do they dare to disagree? If we don’t make a move and wait until the flying boat is broken through, we’ll have to deal with more of them. In any case, given the strengths of me and my brothers, we can just cross the void.”

His words were somewhat immoral, but everyone understood that he was right. The Starry Sky Hunters could definitely cross the starry sky, but the others could not.

If the hunters did not make a move, by the time the other passengers were dead, all of their assets would be pocketed by the hunters.

“I agree!” Someone hurriedly said.

“I agree too!”

Everyone quickly expressed their agreement. Soon, more than half of them agreed.

After handing over all their money, no one had any intention of taking them back. After all, as compared to their lives, money was nothing. Even if they were asked to hand over 100 high-grade spirit coins, everyone would surely agree.

A few bald men laughed loudly. One by one, they took out the scimitars from their storage spaces. The blood-red scimitars emitted scary auras. Nobody knew how many Starry Sky Beasts had been killed by those.

“Uncle Zhang, are they very powerful?” Jianjia hid behind the man next to her and asked softly.

“It’s hard to say, but they’re all good at killing demonic beasts.” The middle-aged man lowered his voice too.

“Then are they as powerful as my father?” Jianjia asked.

The middle-aged man shook his head. “Master’s a genius, and not everyone can compare with him.”

It was evident that he meant that the hunters simply were not qualified enough to be compared to the little girl’s father.

“That old thing’s actually so powerful. No wonder he could capture my sister back.” The little girl’s eyes were filled with resentment.

The middle-aged man laughed bitterly. He looked at the Black Fish Snakes around him and did not have anything to worry about. He did not regard them as anything. The young lady was weak, but she had treasures on her and would not need to worry about being hurt.

He glanced at the crowd and suddenly noticed that a young fellow not far away was different from the others. He could not see any timidity in the young fellow’s eyes. Ou Yangming turned around and smiled as he noticed the middle-aged man’s gaze.

The middle-aged man also smiled and greeted him. They did not communicate, but they were very curious about each other.

‘At such a young age, you have such courage. Not bad, not bad.’ The middle-aged man retracted his gaze and said to himself.

Jianjia did not notice this. She looked at the Black Fish Snakes in the distance and thought of a new topic.

“Can I eat those Black Fish Snakes?” Jianjia moved her pink lips.

“Probably, but their skins are rough and thick, so they’re not delicious for sure.” The middle-aged man patiently answered the girl’s question. His eyes were full of love.

After hearing that they were not delicious, the girl immediately lost interest. She looked around the giant flying boat with her big eyes.

The giant flying boat jolted a few times, and the quiet Black Fish Snakes in the void started to become restless. Many of them rushed toward the direction of the flying boat in an orderly manner.

“They’re here!”

Someone on the giant flying boat cried out in surprise. Everyone’s eyes were focused on the front of the boat.

There were also people holding their weapons tightly. If the Starry Sky Hunters could not finish off the Black Fish Snakes, they would have to quickly enter the battlefield.

In a life-or-death battle, one could not be careless. Between humans and the Starry Sky Demonic Beasts, they were destined to be enemies that could never be resolved.

The beasts ate humans, and humans ate them. They were natural opposites.

A few bald men spread out. Each of them guarded a corner of the huge flying boat. The most powerful man among them stood at the bow of the flying ship.

“Kill!”

A furious roar with killing intent was heard. At the same time, the Starry Sky Hunters exerted their strengths at the same time. The red scimitars were like red crescent moons in the sky. Biting cold killing intent filled the void.

Following this roar, the battle between the hunters and the beasts officially began.

The lights from the scimitars flashed, and the Black Fish Snakes that were charging at the front were instantly split into two halves.

Every qualified Starry Sky Hunter had rich combat experience. They knew what method to use to get rid of their opponents in the simplest way.

Raising their hands and slashing!

The same action was repeated almost endlessly but it was always effective. Ou Yangming observed that every spot that the hunters slashed was different, but there was no doubt that they could cause the strongest damage to the enemies in front of them.

Greatness came from simplicity. Observing this kind of battle observation could be very beneficial. If one comprehended the essence of it, one could save a lot of energy in battle.

It was impossible to learn just by looking. This was the accumulation of countless experiences. One had to go through many actual battles before one could slowly understand the essence.

In just a short moment, many of the Black Fish Snakes in the void had fallen. Their carcasses floated beside the huge flying boat and looked frightening.

The auras of the hunters became fiercer. Only then did everyone realize that 3 of the 7 people were actually Rulers. The remaining 4 were also top-grade Venerable Ones. In terms of their abilities in actual combat, they were much stronger than ordinary Venerable Ones.

With that, the 7 people guarded the entire flying boat tightly. The guards from the Chamber of Commerce could not interfere.

In addition to the formations on the boats, no Black Fish Snake could break in. Everyone gradually calmed down.

They were glad that there were a few Starry Sky Hunters with them this time. If it were in the past, even if they attacked, there would be serious casualties.

The carcasses outside had already piled up like a mountain, blocking the path of the huge flying boat. The few hunters were still madly slaughtering.

They looked as if they were crazy. The 4 hunters who were only top-grade Venerable Ones were all injured to varying extents, but their movements did not slow down in the slightest.

‘They’re true warriors!’

Many people secretly thought to themselves. They were filled with respect for these unattractive strong men.

After some time, the number of Black Fish Snakes had decreased by more than half. Just as the hunters were about to open up a bloody path…

The Black Fish Snakes in front of them suddenly separated, forming a vacuum area. Within it, a massive Black Fish Snake that was hundreds of meters long flew out.

“That’s the king of the Black Fish Snakes!”

The steward of the Chamber of Commerce shouted. They had been traveling in the void for many years, so they knew every type of demonic beast clearly.

Such an enormous Black Fish Snake was very rare even among kings. At least, the steward had never seen it before.
