Chapter 163 In the Nether Sea
"What kind of monsters are these?"
Lin Que and his two companions frowned as they looked at the dark figures emerging from the sea.
But before the monsters could get close, the people around them unleashed a series of spells, blasting the humanoid monsters away.
After watching for a while, Lin Que murmured...
"Why does it look so much like the zombies in the movie 'Blue Star'?"
"But it seems... Holy crap!"
Just as I was about to mutter something, I was immediately startled!
Suddenly, a figure darted out from among the group of humanoid monsters and unleashed a fire spell at them!
moment!
A long fire dragon spewed from the mouth of the humanoid monster, attacking Lin Que and the others!
The fire dragon stretched its shadow, like a beam of light, piercing the sky!
However, before Lin Que could make a move, other cultivators beside him immediately formed hand seals and created a wall of spiritual energy to block the fire dragon.
These aren't zombies at all!
Seriously, whose zombies can use magic?
Lin Que secretly wiped away a cold sweat!
This scene not only startled Lin Que, but also stunned Feng Wudao and Li Muxue beside him.
It was the magic of the cultivators beside them that awakened them.
Lin Que said to the two of them, "Let's not worry about what these monsters are for now. Let's attack them together first, and then ask them about the details later."
"Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble for us as well."
Upon hearing this, the two nodded.
There was no other way, as more and more monsters were appearing on the coast, so Lin Que and his two companions could only temporarily follow the example of the surrounding cultivators and deal with the immediate troubles.
As for the rest, we can ask someone after we've resolved them.
Just as Lin Que drew his long sword from behind him and was about to use it to kill the enemy, a voice of dissuasion rang out beside him!
"This fellow Taoist!"
"Please do not use weapon attacks; they will be ineffective!"
This word of dissuasion caused Lin Que and the other two, who were about to help, to freeze in their tracks!
Lin Que turned around, about to ask why, when his expression suddenly turned to surprise, and he called out to the cultivator who had tried to dissuade him, "Brother Ning!"
"why you?!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivator was taken aback!
He then asked Lin Que with a puzzled look, "Fellow Daoist, do you know me?"
Lin Que laughed and said, "Brother Ning, you haven't forgotten, have you? Back at the inn in Yunyang City, I asked you to share a table with me..."
That's right, this person is Ning Yusheng, the cultivator that Lin Que and Fairy Cai Li encountered in Yunyang City!
"It's you! Brother Lin!" Upon hearing this, Ning Yusheng carefully examined Lin Que before realizing who he was!
Feng Wudao asked Lin Que, "Do you two know each other?"
"Yes, we met in the town before that secret realm." Lin Que nodded with a smile, then asked Ning Yusheng, "Brother Ning, why are you here?"
Ning Yusheng channeled his magic and said to Lin Que, "I'll explain to you later, Brother Lin. Let's help hold off these monsters for now."
"But remember this!"
"Use weapon attacks at all costs!"
"That won't kill these monsters; we need to use magic!"
Lin Que and his two companions were slightly surprised to hear this. How could these monsters be impossible to kill with weapons?
They could hardly believe it!
But the next moment, they had no choice but to believe it.
Suddenly, several cultivators wielding swords and knives burst out from the crowd and charged towards the group of monsters.
They quickly reached the group of monsters, and then the cultivators unleashed a flurry of sword flashes, severing the monsters' limbs. But before they could even sheathe their swords, a black light suddenly flashed and disappeared from the monsters' wounds.
Then something amazing happened!
All the damage the monsters had suffered had been completely healed; even their severed limbs and heads had grown back.
This scene also stunned those cultivators for a moment!
"what!!!"
But by the time they realized it, it was too late!
They were surrounded by the monsters, and after letting out a scream, they disappeared into the monsters.
The cultivators who witnessed this scene were all horrified!
Even the cultivators who originally wanted to use weapon techniques to attack stopped and retreated back into the crowd.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ning!"
Lin Que and the other two thanked Ning Yusheng, thankful that someone had reminded them, otherwise they would have been in trouble.
Next, the three of them put their weapons away.
Like the others, they used their incantations to unleash their spells and attack the monsters.
Although Lin Que does not know magic, he has a spiritual fire, which he can control and make it exert its power like a fire-based spell.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the spiritual fire that Lin Que unleashed quickly annihilated the group of monsters after it came into contact with them.
But a feeling that was both familiar and strange kept surfacing in my heart.
Shaking his head, Lin Que dismissed it as a figment of his imagination and continued to work alongside the others, clearing out the monsters that kept emerging from the sea.
Three hours later...
The sky was gradually turning white; it was almost dawn.
At that moment, the monsters that had been emerging from the sea began to retreat into the ocean behind them, until they all disappeared.
The next moment, the once pitch-black sea became visibly clear.
Lin Que and his two companions frowned deeply at this sight!
"Phew! It's finally over!"
"Brother Lin, let's go back to town together, sit down, and have a chat."
At that moment, Ning Yusheng's voice rang out from the side.
Afterwards, Lin Que and the other two returned to Yunhai Town with Ning Yusheng.
The four of them randomly chose a teahouse and went inside. After they were seated, they introduced themselves to each other.
After the introduction, Lin Que immediately asked Ning Yusheng, "Fellow Daoist Ning, what exactly is going on?"
Feng Wudao and Li Muxue, who were standing to the side, also pricked up their ears to listen.
After taking a sip of tea, Ning Yusheng began to answer Lin Que and the other two's questions...
"It is like this, although I do not know why you have come here, Brother Lin, we are here because of a request from our sect."
"We've been tasked with helping Cloudsea Town eliminate these monsters and investigating the cause of this incident!"
"Almost all the cultivators who appear here are here on behalf of the town to help."
Lin Que and the other two then suddenly realized what was going on!
No wonder there are so many cultivators in a remote border town; it seems they have all been commissioned to investigate this incident.
Lin Que and his two companions were initially curious as to why cultivators at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages would come to help.
But then I thought about it again and I wasn't curious anymore.
Because this place is a town famous for forging, those cultivators with high cultivation levels have more or less received benefits and care from this place, so it is normal for them to be asked to help.
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Que asked, "Brother Ning, have you been able to find out what happened here?"
Ning Yusheng sighed and said, "Not yet. We kill those monsters like this every night."
"We can't get close to them, so it's difficult to investigate."
"So we've been stuck here, though some seniors at the Nascent Soul stage have made some guesses."
"If we want to solve the problem completely, we probably have to go to the Nether Sea, since those monsters came out of the sea."
"So the seniors put their heads together and got a big ship, planning to set sail tomorrow!"
"I will go with you tomorrow."
Lin Que's mind stirred!
He then asked, "May the three of us also come along?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned to surprise and delight!
"Brother Lin, are you planning to come and help?"
"Of course you can!"
"To be honest, we are still short of manpower and plan to recruit more cultivators."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have taken so long to get here, only setting off tomorrow."
"So, it would be wonderful if you could come, Brother Lin."
Afterwards, Lin Que and his two companions asked Ning Yusheng for the meeting time and place, and then left...
