Chapter 91: Encountering a Monster at Sea
"monster?"
Ni Kun stopped walking, and Kankan was caught off guard and bumped into his shoulder. Even though she had the internal energy to protect her body at all times, her forehead still hurt slightly.
Well, ever since Ni Kun's internal organs were greatly strengthened by the tree demon's origin, his practice of the Bull Demon's Great Strength Method and the Tiger Demon's Bone Refining Fist has also made rapid progress. Now his hands, elbows, and shoulders have become as strong as iron and steel, and are very tough.
"Sir, why did you stop so suddenly? This place is almost broken."
Kanan rubbed her chest and said with a resentful look on her face.
"..." Ni Kun's eyes twitched twice: "I think your brain was damaged. It was clearly your forehead that was hit!"
"Hehe!" Wan Wan laughed and stuck out her tongue:
"This is the first time I've encountered a monster in my life. I'm a little nervous. Just make a joke to relax."
Ni Kun snorted:
"Didn't we see the Fire Kirin last time in Lingyun Cave?"
He walked forward while speaking.
Xianxian argued confidently:
"The Fire Kirin is a mythical beast, not a monster... Although the mythical beast is fierce, it doesn't eat humans, but monsters do eat humans!"
Ni Kun chuckled:
"Not only will they eat people, they will also capture the wives of the chieftains. You are so beautiful, I am afraid you will be noticed by the monster."
"real?"
Xianxian first patted her chest and pretended to be shocked, then blinked twice and laughed:
"If it's a female demon, then wouldn't you be in danger, sir?"
"..." Ni Kun glared at her unhappily:
"So what if she's a demon? Isn't my spearmanship fierce?"
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her face was pure:
"Sir, what did you say? I don't understand!"
"hehe."
Ni Kun sneered twice, strode out of the cabin and came to the deck.
At this time, the ship had dropped its sails and anchored on the sea.
All the sailors on the ship gathered on the front deck, looking at the bow with nervous expressions.
Shan Wanjing, Hu Yi and four other ninjas, as well as Zhu Yuyan were also at the bow, all looking over there.
After Ni Kun and Kan Kan arrived, the sailors consciously made way for them to step forward.
The two men came to Zhu Yuyan and saw the strange sight in front of them at a glance without asking any questions.
In front of the bow, about a hundred feet away from the sea, there was a giant clam floating on the sea. The clam was a circle larger than the ship everyone was on.
A beam of bright moonlight condensed down from the sky and landed on the giant clam.
Under the lamp-like moonlight, everyone could see the giant clam clearly even though they were more than a hundred feet away.
The shell of the giant clam had colorful patterns like a tiger, and when the shell opened and closed, the golden clam meat inside was exposed.
There is also a round golden bead the size of a fist, floating up and down in the moonlight, swallowing and spitting out the moonlight.
Seeing the giant clam clearly, especially the round golden bead that was absorbing the moonlight, Ni Kun was startled at first, and then he was overjoyed:
This giant clam seems to be a thousand-year-old tiger clam!
That golden bead must be the "Yuanpin Heavenly Bead" refined by the tiger clam, which is of great benefit to the practice of human immortal martial arts.
With the assistance of Yuanpin Dzi Bead in cultivation, not to mention the "software" such as martial arts and boxing which require long-term immersion and polishing, at least in terms of physical hardware, that is, physique, qi and blood, there will be no problem in improving to the strength of the initial stage of Martial Saint in the Human Immortal Martial Arts.
Even if kung fu cannot be acquired overnight, it would be great to first develop a physique of an initial martial saint level.
At least the blood sacrifice technique to nourish the flying sword, or even to activate the flying sword, can be done without any pressure.
"I didn't expect that I could encounter such a great opportunity this time! It turns out that it's not enough to just stay at home and practice hard. I have to go out and walk around more, see more, and who knows what good opportunity I might encounter!"
Ni Kun was secretly delighted when Kana suddenly grabbed his arm and said excitedly and nervously:
"It's a shell monster! My God, there are actually shells this big in the world. The whale I saw two days ago was only half the size of it! Sir, is this shell monster a man or a woman? Well, looking at its appearance, I think it's most likely a woman..."
Ni Kun was speechless and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Shellfish can be both hermaphroditic and dioecious, and not all of them are female, so why must shell monsters be female?
Just because it's a shell?
Just when I was complaining about the inappropriateness of the demon girl, I heard the trembling voice of the Iga ninja Hotaru:
"Then, is that a monster? I just heard it roar like a tiger..."
Koga's bald ninja Kasumi Keibu was also so nervous that his voice became hoarse:
"A shell that big can smash our ship into pieces in one go, right? How can we deal with such a monster?"
Iga Ninja Yashamaru frowned and said:
"Why should we deal with it? We just don't provoke it."
Hu Yi crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly:
"That's easy to say. When the sailors on duty spotted it from afar, they immediately tried to steer to avoid it. But the giant clam somehow changed the wind direction and current, making it impossible for the ship to avoid it. The only way was to sail straight towards it. It was not until we dropped the sails and anchored and forced the ship to stop that we avoided crashing into it."
Xia Xingbu said: "Yes, this giant clam has bad intentions and we can't avoid it just because we want to."
Shan Wanjing also looked unhappy:
"Damn it, we are at sea. No matter how good we are at swimming, we can't compete with clams, which are natural seafood. If we come into conflict, they can just sink the boat and we will all become their blood food!"
Even Zhu Yuyan sent a message to Ni Kun with a solemn expression:
“Sir, this shell monster has some mysterious skills, and seems to be able to control the sea wind and sea water.
"Even without considering his magic, his huge body alone is extremely difficult to deal with. I am not sure I can penetrate the tiger-patterned shell that is several times thicker than the ship's planks."
Ni Kun remained calm and said calmly:
"The shell monster has bad intentions and won't let us get out of the way. Now that things have come to this, we have to fight it no matter what. We can't just let it eat us, right?"
He looked at the four ninjas and asked, "What do you think?"
Kasumi Keibu looked helpless: "My ninjutsu is totally useless in the sea."
He was born with supernatural powers, and his strength was extremely strong. His secret technique was to be able to escape through earth, wood, mud, and stone, but he just didn't know how to escape through water. As for his supernatural power... well, even if he could strangle an elephant to death, he couldn't do anything to the giant clam that was bigger than a ship and had a thick shell.
Hu Yi also had a bitter face: "My secret technique can't deal with that kind of monster."
Let’s not talk about whether she can suck the blood of the giant clam. Even if she can, given the size of the giant clam, even if she bursts its belly, the amount of blood lost by the giant clam may not be enough to make it slightly dizzy.
Firefly also shook her head: "Sorry, my ninjutsu is useless against the shell monster."
She can control poisonous snakes, butterflies, and various small insects. Her ability is quite good, but she still can't deal with the giant clam.
Only Yashamaru gritted his teeth and said, "I can try, maybe I can hurt it."
His secret technique is to weave a black rope made of women's hair. The black rope is refined with secret oil, which is extremely tough and sharp enough to split gold and stone. It can even cut through huge rocks and refined steel.
Although the shell of the giant clam was thick, he thought that he might be able to cut it.
"Then please give it a try, Your Excellency."
Ni Kun said with a smile that he planned to let Yashamaru test the ability of the tiger clam.
Yashamaru took a deep breath, asked the sailors to lower a small boat, and asked a sailor to help him row the boat and take him over.
As they jumped onto the boat, Hotaru warned, " Yashamaru , be careful!"
But it didn't stop him from going.
Their ongoing mission is to escort the Yingui faction to Goguryeo to form an alliance with the Emperor.
As ninjas, they must ensure the safety of their guests.
Therefore, even though the shell monster was extremely dangerous, and even though Yashamaru was Hotaru's lover, she could not stop him, nor could she even show too much worry.
Even though her secret technique was not suitable for attacking the giant clam, if the giant clam attacked her later, she would still go forward and fight desperately. The same was true for Xia Xingbu and Hu Yi.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
Without even turning his head, Yashamaru waved his hand and ordered the sailors to row the boat towards the tiger clam.
