Chapter 112 Let's go, let's go down to the ocean to catch turtles.
No one cared about the captain whose reputation had been damaged; everyone's attention was focused on the giant ship.
More and more parts of the ships are emerging from the water, covered with mud and gravel, indicating that they have been buried underwater for a long time, deep in the riverbed silt, otherwise they would at least have some seaweed and shells growing on them.
Without a word, the credibility of this unofficial history actually increased somewhat.
"Even in this state, how did you recognize it as the Demon Slayer?"
“The young people these days are truly getting worse with each generation,” the Foundation Establishment cultivator said, surveying the crowd with a regretful expression, as if he were about to beat his chest in frustration. “They can’t even be bothered to examine things that make money properly. You wouldn’t even recognize a treasure if it were shoved in your faces. This mast is the most obvious feature. Look at the way the sails are hoisted; it’s clearly a Colossus-class vessel. Only its designer is the old-fashioned Master Mo, known for his love of ships. He’s always designed small transport ships, slightly slower than shuttle-type vessels, but with a larger carrying capacity…”
Once the man started talking about these things, he became very talkative, as if he could go on for three days and three nights talking about everything from the designer's life to the materials used in shipbuilding.
Zhong Ming nodded repeatedly, "The master is right! If you don't read more books, you won't even know that a treasure is right in front of you!"
At this point, the orders had already been issued from above.
"The latest military order is for cultivators skilled in digging to immediately assemble and excavate a six-zhang-wide tunnel through the mountainside, starting from the upper part of the mountain."
Zhong Ming: ? ? ?
Another job?
"Report... Instructor, what are you doing?"
Xueyan got up wearily. It wasn't good that her recruits were too versatile; they could get involved in everything.
"What can it be used for? To build a mooring post."
It seems that the Golden Core cultivators above want to use the entire Jishui Mountain to moor the large ship, let it float on the water for a while, and then, after the Twin Dragons' journey is over, let the Demon-Slaying Ship run aground on the side and then salvage it.
Zhong Ming saw her swaying and was about to go over to help her when she suddenly slapped him hard across the face, shook her head, and sobered up.
He could only awkwardly reach out his hands, bend over, and then stand up, supporting his waist with his hands.
Then he got slapped hard across the face.
"Cheer up, let's get to work! At this point, it's all about who can endure the longest!" Xueyan saw how much effort he had to put on his feet and figured he must be exhausted, so she gave him a little pep talk.
If a general beats a soldier, he will inevitably lose the morale of the army. But if a general and a soldier are slapped together, then there is a reason for it.
Zhong Ming stood there looking aggrieved. He hadn't returned the digging tool he'd taken from Yue Kaishan yet; what a waste of his life.
He glanced at his brother Yue, and then got slapped again.
"The wounded shouldn't go. While I'm away, you must hold this place."
At this moment, Su Longshan was also summoned. A Golden Core cultivator would lead a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators to seize the giant ship that had reappeared in the human world. Zhong Ming couldn't imagine how they would conjure up a rope to hold onto the Demon-Slaying Ship.
Another small group of Foundation Establishment cultivators led a large number of Qi Refining elites to begin digging and breaking rocks from the mountain.
The cultivators were divided into two groups and lined up in an orderly manner. One group was responsible for digging tunnels, just small ones that they could pass through on their own, and digging straight through Jishui Mountain. The other group was responsible for opening up all the passages, removing all the passage walls, and most importantly, reinforcing the tunnels to prevent them from collapsing. This had to be done by people who knew some restrictions and formations.
Xueyan was responsible for temporarily freezing the soil and rocks with ice and snow to support them until the runes were drawn later.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator leading the team stood on the mountainside, rallying the troops and loudly encouraging them, "Soldiers, this time the military merit points will be plentiful! That giant ship can recover treasures worth at least ten million military merit points. Everyone who participates will get a share. Look at our numbers! If we succeed, each person will get at least several thousand military merit points, if not ten thousand! Cheer up and work hard!"
As they were speaking, a streak of light flew toward the Demon Slayer in the sky above.
"Your grandfather is here!" The loud shout revealed an impatient cultivator.
The large ships in the distance bobbing up and down on the water were more alluring than a naked beauty.
A streak of light plummeted down, leaving a rainbow trail behind the cultivator as he was dragged and crashed into the ancient deck of the Demon Slayer.
This was the first time Zhong Ming had ever seen such an outrageous method.
Is this a Golden Core stage cultivator? His very first move was accompanied by extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.
Just as the colorful stream of light was about to hook onto the giant ship, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, the ship raised its bow, and a huge black maw, half the width of the ship, burst out of the water and snapped at the Golden Core cultivator in the blink of an eye.
The "tunnel diggers" looking out from halfway up the mountain could only see a cloud of blood mist burst out, and then a giant mouth snapped shut with a deafening roar.
A green shadow rose from the ground and arrived at the top of the great formation in an instant.
Yuan Xuzi was even more excited than the Foundation Establishment expert who recognized the Demon-Slaying Ship. "You Nascent Soul old tortoise, you actually dared to carry a Colossus-class warship on your back, hahaha~~"
A hearty laugh echoed throughout the mine. In an instant, phantoms appeared one after another, and several clones suddenly appeared beside him, each choosing its own direction as they fell to the ground.
At the other end of the rainbow, the irritable man reappeared, his limbs all gone, and even some of his internal organs missing.
He deliberately self-destructed, using his life essence to activate a secret technique to escape. He was in a terrible state at the moment, and as soon as he landed, he shouted: "Undying Immortal, quickly give me some pills, the price is negotiable!"
He was undoubtedly the most impulsive, but also the most decisive. He could rush out at lightning speed and make the same quickest judgments when faced with danger, resolutely sacrificing anything to save his life. Such a person gains much through great sacrifice, walking a tightrope between life and death.
"Damn it, I'm really unlucky. A Nascent Soul Giant Ao is someone I can't afford to mess with."
Yuan Xuzi stared at him with a crazed look, which gave him a bad feeling.
"Wait, Yuan Xuzi, whatever you're thinking, stop right now!"
"Let's catch it!"
Yuan Xuzi was different from that man. He hated things that didn't bring him any reward. He sacrificed his clone to maintain the great formation, and the government would only give him something of equal value in return. The profit was too little.
Things are different now; it's all about fishing for turtles!
So what if they're at the Nascent Soul stage? It's not impossible for a group of Golden Core cultivators to use a grand formation to lock down a giant turtle-like monster known for its heaven-defying defense and negligible offensive capabilities.
Based on its attack power alone, even if it were concentrated on a single point, it would be comparable to the previous attacks of the Nascent Soul Peak Water Dragon and Fire Dragon, at most requiring a greater investment in formation maintenance.
Moreover, it is skilled in water magic, but now the entire river is dominated by the water dragon's water magic. It is just taking advantage of the situation to get some food. Once it uses its water magic, it will inevitably conflict with the water dragon's own water magic, greatly reducing its power.
If several Golden Core cultivators work together to form an array and tie the "rope" to a place where it can't bite, it might be able to restrain it.
.....
At this moment, the cultivators below were still immersed in the shock of the giant tortoise "biting a Golden Core cultivator to pieces with one bite." They swallowed hard and asked the Foundation Establishment cultivator leading the group in a trembling voice, "Um... should we continue digging?"
"Keep digging... there's no military order to stop."
While the team leader hesitated, a stern order was relayed directly to everyone's ears.
"Attention, all hands! Carry out the mission! Today we are to capture the Nascent Soul Giant Tortoise alive! If we succeed, we will be rewarded and promoted to the highest ranks!"
