Chapter 61: Successful Retreat
"Hey, hey, shouldn't you be solemn and fearful when you meet a big guy? Why do you have an expression that says 'I'm going to kill you'?"
"If I don't kill it, am I going to wait for it to kill me?"
Gu Sanqiu licked the corner of his mouth and said, "I say, aren't you curious about what this thing tastes like?"
"My Gu family has so many classics, but it seems that no ancestor has ever tasted this kind of... um, creature affected by the power of the demon?"
"Are you sure you want to eat?"
Σ(°д°lll)
Looking at the two confused and even frightened faces, Gu Sanqiu nodded very seriously.
"Apart from the taste, if this thing is processed well, it might also be a tonic food?"
"I say, the pork elbow you gave us to eat, couldn't it be made with this kind of stuff as the raw material?"
Xingqiu was shocked: "I always thought that was very common material!"
"Me too."
Chongyun swallowed his saliva and said, "However, for a conch this big, the meat inside must be very old. Are you sure you can eat it?"
"This isn't a question of the quality of the meat, it's a question of whether this thing can be used as food!"
"I've already told you that this might be a great tonic. Do you understand that good medicine tastes bitter?"
Snap, snap—
Chongyun's expression changed: "Something is gnawing at the ice beneath our feet!"
"I guessed it. We are surrounded for sure."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the two guys silently.
Ice element, water element.
Damn!
It would be great if he could get YaYa over here, so he could throw out a large area of electric shock reaction. The three of them don't have such a convenient means of group attack.
He did, but don't forget that his current foothold was just the ice surface constructed by Chongyun using elemental force. It would be a joke if the aftermath of an AOE destroyed the place where he was standing.
"Chongyun, maintain the ice and save the ship. Xingqiu, provide cover. I'll go and say hello to that thing!"
Two bottles of precious pills fell on the deck. Gu Sanqiu let out a long whistle, and the Wings of Wind opened to face the wind. After controlling the direction and taking off, he threw the long stick in his hand directly at the conch!
Snap——
The long stick was broken, and the large conch in front of him only had a small piece of stone attached to it knocked off. Gu Sanqiu took out the spear he used when fighting against Tartaglia, and turned into golden light and rushed forward again!
Xingqiu held a long sword to protect Chongyun on the boat. In addition to the fish, there were also some strange-shaped shells and mollusks rushing towards the boat.
Rays of cold light, some short and some long, kept flickering. Although they did not have the boldness and visual impact of the heavy sword, their precision and sharpness like an assassin reflected Chu Qiu's skill.
"Can't we just sail away? Do we have to keep the ice surface so that they can't get at the boats?"
"no!"
Xingqiu pushed back the hair that was stuck to his forehead and said, "The water element down there is being controlled by something. I think it's that big conch that's disturbing the ocean currents. Our ship can't sail out."
"This guy can control the ocean currents. It's difficult for me to protect you and fight the ocean currents at the same time, not to mention there are so many little things helping him."
The Guhua School's unique skills continued to bloom from Xingqiu's hands, and the short-lived sword energy and gun power killed any creature that dared to approach Chongyun.
"Now we can only rely on Sanqiu. As long as he can give me a chance, I can get our ship away from this troubled place!"
Golden light fell, and the spear, whose material even Gu Sanqiu was unsure of, smashed down and made a crack in the conch shell!
laugh--
Completely different from the strange-smelling body fluids imagined , streams of blue and black mist spurted out from the wound of the conch, and after mixing with the sea water, it gave off a pungent smell!
"poison!"
The elemental force of rock quickly appeared and put a mask on Gu Sanqiu, so as to ensure that Gu Sanqiu could keep up with the subsequent damage output!
"Xingqiu should know what I am going to do. It seems like our tacit understanding will be tested again."
While defending against the attacks of the sea creatures that rushed over to "protect their master", Gu Sanqiu threw four or five pieces of talisman paper into the conch shell.
From the beginning, this big thing seemed to come up to join the crowd. After it popped up, it did nothing except restrict the ocean current.
But from Gu Sanqiu's perspective, he would definitely not let this thing stay here. What if this guy is building up a big move?
This is like when there is a group fight between two parties, and there is a super big guy standing at the end of the opposite team. Even if the other side does nothing when the fight breaks out, you can't just ignore it, otherwise something big will happen if you are not careful.
"Shake the mountain!"
Gu Sanqiu struck the conch shell with all his might. He was trying to save up his ultimate move, right? He was pretending to be a master by not making any noise, right?
Then die!
boom!
The conch was knocked down by Gu Sanqiu's extraordinary strength, and almost at the same time, Xingqiu, who had been observing the battle situation, had a sharp light flashing in his eyes!
“The opportunity has come!”
The blue elemental power of the Eye of God condensed in his eyes. Xingqiu's perception had penetrated the water surface and saw the real reason why the elemental forces were entangled and prevented them from escaping by boat!
“It’s here!”
Xingqiu grasped the long sword in one hand, tensed up his sword energy, and stabbed hard at the point where the elemental forces he sensed intersected!
"Cut the rain and keep the rainbow, cut!"
The mighty and powerful force of the water element burst out from Xingqiu's body, transforming into a giant brush that rushed towards the center of the tangled ocean current, and the tip of the brush hit it fiercely!
"Sanqiu!"
Gu Sanqiu, who was struggling with the fog, also noticed the change in the ocean current. He immediately kicked the conch, catapulted it into the air again, spread its wings of wind, and flew towards the ship.
call out--
A pink cylindrical object flew towards Gu Sanqiu, aiming directly at his calf!
"Do you think I've forgotten you?"
Gu Sanqiu came to his senses and put away his gun. He held a machete in his left hand and slashed at the column-like object that was trying to attack him!
grumble--
A completely indescribable sound rang out, and Gu Sanqiu's face looked a little ugly. The level of unpleasantness was no less than the devil's sound filling his brain, as if there were twenty or thirty tone-deaf and broken voices singing dolphin sounds in front of him.
"what is that!"
Chongyun looked at the thing that was slowly crawling out from the conch and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
It was a humanoid creature formed from pink snail flesh, holding a weapon but without any facial features. All that could be seen was a human figure.
But it was this humanoid object that just spit out what might be a tongue from its mouth and attacked Gu Sanqiu!
"Who knows what that is, anyway it's not the conch girl who loves you so much, cooks for you and wants to marry you!"
Gu Sanqiu landed safely on the boat: "Go take the helm, Xingqiu and I will row the boat. Let's get out of this place first, then we can think of other things!"
"Yes, fighting at sea is really disadvantageous to us and we cannot defeat them."
Xingqiu rolled up his sleeves and began rowing: "By the way, what is the Conch Girl you just mentioned?"

"Row quickly! Otherwise, I'll feed you ten thousand elbows as soon as we get out!"
