Chapter 1213: Chapter 1213: Fight "Poison" with Poison

The Demon Dragon Scorpion is one of the most destructive sea monsters in the Purgatory Sea. Ships that encounter a swarm of Demon Dragon Scorpions usually do not meet with good outcomes.

"Chi!"

A light sound was heard, as the tail hook of that Demon Dragon Scorpion spurted out venom, splattering it on the ship’s hull, corroding a bowl-sized deep mark into the wood more steadfast than Wanshi, emitting a puff of white smoke.

That white smoke, laden with potent toxicity, spread upward from the bottom of the ship with the sea breeze and drifted into the noses of some martial artists on board, which was extremely pungent.

"The smoke is poisonous, everyone be careful!"

Fang Bai saw that some martial artists on the ship did not know to hold their breath and restrain their Essence Energy, and immediately shouted loudly.

No sooner had his voice fallen than a dozen or so weaker martial artists collapsed to the ground, frothing at the mouth, their eyes rolling back as they fainted away.

Stronger martial artists, upon smelling the toxic smoke, also felt dizzy and nauseous. After hearing Fang Bai’s words, they immediately closed their mouths tightly, suppressed their breathing, and formed defensive Qi Shields around their bodies to keep out the poisonous smoke.

The companions of the few unconscious martial artists immediately took out detoxifying and healing elixirs and stuffed them into their mouths.

As the martial artists on the deck were in turmoil, dozens of adult Demon Dragon Scorpions in the sea began to spray venom from their tail hooks to corrode the ship’s hull.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred bowl-sized holes appeared at the bottom of the ship.

A tiny hole has no effect on a huge ship, and hundreds of small holes would not cause fatal damage, but tens of thousands of small holes could lead to terrifying consequences.

The martial artists on the ship quickly realized this point. Seeing the incessant streams of poisonous smoke and the growing holes in the ship’s body, they couldn’t help but turn pale and their faces showed panic.

At this rate, perhaps only after a few hours, the ship’s underside could be corroded by the Demon Dragon Scorpion’s venom, creating large holes through which seawater could pour in, and the ship might be at risk of capsizing.

In this vast sea full of sea beasts, once a ship capsizes, even a Universe Level Expert faces an outcome of nine deaths and one life.

The Misty Island ships chasing from behind slowed down, hovering hundreds of meters away on the sea. Including Madam Linghu, the inhabitants of Misty Island watched the ship Fang Bai was on being attacked by Demon Dragon Scorpions, each showing an expression of schadenfreude.

"Jiu..."

Suddenly a clear whistle came from Fang Bai’s mouth.

The Demon Dragon Scorpions attacking the ship Fang Bai was on seemed extremely pained upon hearing his whistle, and stopped attacking the ship, their bodies struggling and twisting in the sea.

"To be able to control a family of Demon Dragon Scorpions, this lad’s Beast Taming Technique far surpasses mine!" exclaimed Madam Linghu, unable to help but click her tongue in admiration upon hearing Fang Bai’s whistle and seeing the abnormal reaction from those Demon Dragon Scorpions. She hated that she couldn’t capture Fang Bai right away and force from his mouth the Beast Taming Technique.

However, in the next moment, Madam Linghu’s expression changed.

As Fang Bai’s whistle grew even more piercing, those hundreds of Demon Dragon Scorpions turned around and swiftly swam towards the Misty Island ships.

"Change directions! Hurry up and go!"

Madam Linghu knew that once besieged by that swarm of Demon Dragon Scorpions, the consequences would be unimaginable and immediately shrieked loudly.

The Misty Island inhabitants on the ships had just been taking pleasure in others’ misfortunes; little did they expect that in the blink of an eye, the situation changed drastically. The target of the Demon Dragon Scorpions’ attack had become their own ships.

Upon hearing Madam Linghu’s shout, several Misty Island sea ships turned their bows around, trying to shake off the horde of Demon Dragon Scorpions.

However, given the gigantic size of the sea ships, they naturally could not move as swiftly in the sea as the Demon Dragon Scorpions.

Halfway through turning, a "thumping" sound came from the bottom of the ships, followed by the emission of strands of pungent poisonous smoke.

The faces of Madam Linghu and the other residents of Misty Island turned grim, knowing that the sea ships were now entangled by the Demon Dragon Scorpions, and it would probably take a substantial amount of time to shake them off.

In contrast, the sea ship Fang Bai was on, with over a thousand Martial Artists gathered on the deck surrounding Fang Bai, erupted in cheers and then sailed off into the distance, quickly disappearing tens of miles away.

"Damn it!"

Madam Linghu cursed under her breath as she watched the departing ship grow smaller in the distance, trying to use the Beast Taming Technique to drive away the Demon Dragon Scorpions, but to little effect, leaving her frustrated and infuriated.

"All Cosmic Level mid-rank and above islanders, follow me into the water to exterminate those Demon Dragon Scorpions!"

Madam Linghu, teeth clenched and stamping her foot, shielded herself with Essence Energy, grabbed a tough rope, and leaped from the ship’s deck, leading the way.

More than two hundred Cosmic Level mid-rank and above islanders from Misty Island followed Madam Linghu, each grabbing a rope to jump down as well.

Suspended a few meters above the sea surface, Madam Linghu and the other two hundred plus Cosmic Level mid-rank, high-rank, and at perfection experts each summoned their Spiritual Artifacts and launched an attack on the Demon Dragon Scorpions.

The Demon Dragon Scorpions were highly intelligent and fought back when attacked, temporarily halting their corrosion of the ships and engaging in battle with the Misty Island powerhouses.

Although Madam Linghu’s side had the absolute advantage in numbers and was stronger in power, the islanders had to hold onto ropes and remain levitated, leading to significant Essence Energy expenditure and a consequent weakening of their fighting strength.

Thus, the battle between Martial Artists and Sea Beasts saw casualties on both sides, with neither managing to repel or drive away the other in a short time.

For Madam Linghu, such a stalemate was unacceptable. If Fang Bai and the others escaped, it would not only tarnish Misty Island’s reputation but also render all her previous efforts futile.

Yet Madam Linghu had no quick solution to rid themselves of this group of Demon Dragon Scorpions and had no choice but to fight them head-on.

The sound of "sizzling" was continuous as it was the sound of poisonous liquid from the Demon Dragon Scorpions corroding the clothes and flesh of the warriors, followed by screams of extreme agony.

Some less fortunate Cosmic Level mid-rank Martial Artists, with their clothing and flesh corroded by the toxin, displayed bare bones in a gruesome and terrifying struggle.

Despite this, since Madam Linghu showed no signs of retreat, no Martial Artists dared to back down, for if Madam Linghu turned her wrath upon them, they would suffer indescribable pain far worse than that of the Demon Dragon Scorpion venom, life being worse than death.

Madam Linghu, with near-Innate strength, fought one against ten, wielding a green whip in her hand that radiated dense Wood Element Qi. It moved fluidly like a snake, with every strike causing injury to a Demon Dragon Scorpion.

The green whip in Madam Linghu’s hand was a high-grade Spiritual Artifact of exceptional quality, capable of delivering blows that even Universe Level Experts at perfection would find hard to withstand.

The strongest of the Demon Dragon Scorpion group was only equivalent to a Cosmic Level perfection expert, but the natural defensive capabilities of Spirit Beasts were formidable, so much so that they managed to withstand the strikes of Madam Linghu’s green whip.

While the fierce battle was in full swing, the sea ship carrying Fang Bai sped away, increasingly distancing itself from the ships of Misty Island, until it was out of sight.

"Huff..."

Wu De, Su Linglong, and the others all heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the color of fortune in each other’s eyes!
