Chapter 129 The disheveled demon-hunting team kills the Purple-Scaled Sea Demon.
After assigning tasks to the four, Huang Bo turned around and released magic to stop the rampaging Azure Scale Sea Monster. Huang Bo was the strongest in this monster-hunting team, with a strength reaching the third level of the intermediate rank. Fan Bin and Chen Ziyuan were both at the first level of the intermediate rank, while Dong Jiale and Ning Rou were only beginner mages.
With Huang Bo delaying the rioting Azure Scale Sea Demon, Fan Bin, Chen Ziyuan, and the other three began to slowly move towards Jiang Han's location.
If it weren't for the four of them cooperating quite skillfully, Fan Bin, Chen Ziyuan, and the others would have had no chance of fighting their way through the demon horde.
Jiang Han, who was busy killing sea monsters, quickly noticed the situation not far away. He frowned slightly, wondering why Fan Bin and the others had found him. In the distance, dozens of rioting blue-scaled sea monsters were besieging Uncle Huang, the one who had given him the communication device. Jiang Han had no idea that his use of the Demon-Gathering Device had caused a riot among many sea monsters in the West Bay, and that the target of the riot was him, or more precisely, the Demon-Gathering Device behind him.
"Ice-bound, Locked in Ice, Siege!"
Jiang Han, wielding the Snow-Freezing Dragon Blade, emanated extreme cold, freezing the sea monsters that charged towards him into ice sculptures. Even the warrior-level sea monsters couldn't escape. Fan Bin, Chen Ziyuan, and their companions, who were clearing a path, froze, as the sea monster blocking their way also turned into an ice sculpture. Jiang Han walked around the ice sculptures towards Fan Bin and the others, and as he passed, the ice sculptures shattered, turning into ice shards that dissipated into the air.
"Weren't you supposed to be on a training expedition? What are you doing here?" Jiang Han asked casually.
Ning Rou hid behind Chen Ziyuan, not daring to meet Jiang Han's gaze. If she had known Jiang Han had such strength, how could she have dared to reprimand him back then? Chen Ziyuan said awkwardly, "Well... we encountered a riotous Azure Scale Sea Monster during our training, and we ran here in a panic."
"Rampaging Azure Scaled Sea Monsters? Never mind, I'll go and deal with those Azure Scaled Sea Monsters first."
Jiang Han couldn't understand why the Azure Scale Sea Monsters were rioting, so he simply stopped thinking about it. All he had to do was investigate whether there were any Commander-level Lan Hai Black Dolphins in West Bay, and then kill as many sea monsters as possible to gain more system points.
When Jiang Han arrived in front of Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang had several open wounds on his body, covered in blood, which was quite terrifying.
"Here's a healing potion. Go and heal yourself first. I'll take care of these sea monsters from now on." Jiang Han took out a pale green potion and handed it to Uncle Huang. Then, he gripped the Snow Condensing Dragon Blade and charged into the swarm of Azure Scale Sea Monsters to begin his slaughter.
"Be careful of the Azure Scaled Sea Demon..." Uncle Huang trailed off mid-sentence.
Uncle Huang wanted Jiang Han to be careful of the Azure Scaled Sea Monster's claws, but the monsters' claws were either blocked by the Thunder Dragon Armguard or evaded by Jiang Han using the ethereal ability of the Shadow Boots. Each swing of Jiang Han's sword took the lives of several Azure Scaled Sea Monsters, and within ten minutes, he had slain all the rampaging monsters.
Jiang Han turned to look at Uncle Huang and asked, "What are you being careful about?"
"Uh, watch out for that sea monster covered in purple scales," Uncle Huang said, looking at the four-meter-long sea monster with purple scales.
Jiang Han looked at the purple-scaled sea monster that Uncle Huang had mentioned. The sea monster was four meters long and covered with purple scales. Below its head were two light blue, fin-like things, followed by two sharp claws that gleamed coldly. At the bottom was a dark blue fish tail. If you were fooled by the appearance of the fish tail, you would die a terrible death.
The fish tail slaps against the sea surface, creating waves as high as six or seven meters; its power is definitely no weaker than a mid-level spell.
After Jiang Han killed the Azure Scaled Sea Demon, the Purple Scaled Sea Demon's eyes showed no fear, only brutality, as if it wanted to tear the two humans standing in its way to pieces.
"Gah gah gah~~~" The Purple Scaled Sea Monster raised its head and let out a piercing cry.
The deep blue fish tail slammed into the ground, and with the slam, a wave six or seven meters high rose up on the distant sea. The surging wave, with its overwhelming force, crashed towards Jiang Han and the others. If they were hit by that wave, Jiang Han and Uncle Huang would be smashed to pieces.
"Wow, this is even stronger than the previous one. It should be worth a lot... ugh, its strength must be quite formidable," Jiang Han murmured, gazing at the waves crashing towards them.
After saying that, Jiang Han transformed into a black phantom and moved swiftly toward the Purple Scaled Sea Demon. The Purple Scaled Sea Demon had no idea where Jiang Han had disappeared.
When Jiang Han reappeared, he was already behind the Purple Scale Sea Demon. Seven pale blue star trails intertwined beneath Jiang Han's feet to form a magnificent star map. As the star map was completed, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and the waves that were about to be photographed were frozen into ice blocks that fell from the sky.
"Ice Barrier, Ice Lock, Vast Wilderness!!"
The ground cracked open, and countless ice crystal chains flew out from the fissures, intertwining and transforming into a colossal ice python as thick as a water bucket, lunging at the Purple-Scaled Sea Demon. Seeing this, the Purple-Scaled Sea Demon frantically swung its claws, trying to cleave the ice python into pieces. But how could an ice python be as fragile as flesh and blood? Its claws struck the massive body of the ice python, scattering countless ice shards.
Under Jiang Han's control, the giant ice python coiled around the purple-scaled sea monster and began to tighten its body. Gradually, the sound of bones cracking began to emanate from the purple-scaled sea monster's body. The purple-scaled sea monster struggled frantically with its two sharp claws, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from the giant python's restraints.
Gradually, the Purple Scaled Sea Monster's struggles weakened until it stopped moving altogether. After the Purple Scaled Sea Monster died, the giant ice python also dissipated.
"Slaying a War General-level Sea Monster rewards you with 150 system points and one War General-level Essence."
A typical warrior-level demon would grant Jiang Han at most 100 system points upon defeat, but this Purple-Scaled Sea Monster surprisingly provided him with 150 points. This surprised Jiang Han, so he checked the system panel. He discovered that this Purple-Scaled Sea Monster was already halfway to the advanced stage; if it waited a while longer, it would successfully enter the advanced stage, potentially utterly defeating a 10-person squad of mid-level mages. (My understanding is that a typical warrior-level demon can take on seven opponents at once; feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
Both the Demon Gathering Device and the Detector have limited range. Therefore, after Jiang Han killed the Azure Scaled Sea Demon and the Purple Scaled Sea Demon, there were far fewer sea demons rushing towards him. Jiang Han no longer paid attention to Uncle Huang and the others, but instead focused on the Demon Gathering Device and the Detector.
"Could this thing be broken? I should have brought Lingling with me. If I had brought that little girl, we wouldn't have had so much trouble." The green dots on the detector were sparse, and the red dots were almost gone, which made Jiang Han begin to suspect that the demon-gathering device and the detector were broken.
Not far away, Fan Bin, Chen Ziyuan, Ning Rou, and Dong Jiale, who had just recovered their magical powers, were talking quietly.
"Hey, who do you think this guy is? How come he's so strong?" Dong Jiale asked in a low voice.
"I'd guess they're geniuses nurtured by one of the most powerful families in Shanghai," Fan Bin said.
"Impossible. If a disciple trained by a powerful organization were to go out for training, he would definitely be accompanied by many guards. He doesn't have a single guard with him. I think he might be a genius from a prestigious university." Ning Rou immediately refuted Fan Bin's words. She was a disciple of a small family in Shanghai. How could she not have heard of Jiang Han, a genius, if other families had produced him?
Although smaller families cannot match the strength and foundation of larger families, their intelligence capabilities are still quite good. They know who to mess with and who not to mess with, and who to befriend – these are things that every member of their family must keep in mind.
P.S.: That's all for today, that's all.
