197: Foggy area

Mirage Sea.

Lin Yongmao flew on his Magical Artifact and landed on the Tianshui Hunting Squad's ship Magical Artifact.

The members of the Tianshui Hunting Squad saw Xu Bodong and Lin Yongmao fighting fiercely, but they only saw flashes of lightning and did not know that Xu Bodong was already dead.

When Kong San saw Lin Yongmao's actions, he roughly understood Lin Yongmao's intentions. He seemed to have made up his mind and also flew into the air to the Tianshui Hunting Squad's ship.

Liu Yan immediately followed!

Lin Yongmao's eyes were cold. He scanned the few members of the Tianshui Hunting Squad, among whom there were two Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators.

Water Prison Talisman

Vine Binding Talisman

Lin Yongmao slapped his Storage Pouch and threw out hundreds of High Grade Tier 2 Talismans without even blinking.

Countless vines and water rings covered the deck of the ship. The vines grew wildly, and water ripples spread, creating Water Prisons.

Although they were not Tier 3 Talismans, their sheer number made it impossible for even Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators to break free in a short time.

Lin Yongmao's sword soul grass leaves had already transformed into Flying Swords, harvesting the heads of the remaining members of the Tianshui Hunting Squad like cutting weeds.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all members of the Tianshui Hunting Squad were annihilated.

While Lin Yongmao was collecting the Storage Pouches of the few people, Kong San and Liu Yan also arrived on the deck of the Tianshui Hunting Squad's ship.

Seeing this scene, Kong San smiled awkwardly, "Brother Lin, we were planning to come over and help."

Liu Yan's gaze towards Lin Yongmao was also full of friendliness, completely different from the previous indifference.

Lin Yongmao waved his hand and said indifferently, "No need!"

He went into the ship's cabin, found the five Mermaids, and put them all into his Spirit Beast Pouch.

Storage Pouches cannot hold living creatures. Fortunately, he had prepared a Spirit Beast Pouch in advance, originally for the Gold-Eating Beast, but now it could be used to hold Mermaids.

The Nightmare Seahorse was also in the Spirit Beast Pouch, so the Spirit Beast Pouch was quite crowded now.

When Kong San saw Lin Yongmao come out of the cabin, he rubbed his hands excitedly, "Brother Lin, have all those Mermaids been found?"

Lin Yongmao glanced at Kong San. This Kong San was truly shameless. Before, he didn't dare to make a sound, but now he wanted a share, as if he thought Lin Yongmao was easy to bully.

Lin Yongmao said directly, "This has nothing to do with you, right! However, this ship is useless to me. If you want it, just take it!"

Kong San did not expect Lin Yongmao to say that, but thinking of Lin Yongmao's ruthless methods earlier, he did not dare to say anything more.

Lin Yongmao had already tested it; this ship could not be put into a Storage Pouch, and it was only a High Grade Magical Artifact.

Kong San searched the ship for a while, unwilling to give up, wanting to find some of the original Tianshui Hunting Squad's supplies, but they had all been taken by Lin Yongmao.

As for this ship, it was too big of a target, and he didn't want to take it, after all, he had the Shenyin.

If he returned driving the Tianshui Hunting Squad's ship, wouldn't that be openly admitting that they had annihilated the Tianshui Hunting Squad?

Back on the Shenyin, Lin Yongmao had a calm expression, as if he had done an insignificant small thing.

No one dared to underestimate this young man anymore.

Li Niannian wanted to talk to Lin Yongmao, but in the end, she held back.

...

On the way, Lin Yongmao was sorting out the several Storage Pouches he had just acquired.

There were many Sea Demon Beast Materials in the Storage Pouches. These Materials could still be exchanged for a good amount of Spirit Stones after processing, and Lin Yongmao carefully organized them one by one.

As for Spirit Stones, the quantity was not large, only more than two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Generally speaking, Cultivators would exchange Spirit Stones for Cultivation resources they could use after obtaining them, so it was not surprising that they had few Spirit Stones on hand.

Among one of the Storage Pouches, there were quite a few rare resources.

Lin Yongmao remembered that this was Xu Bodong's Storage Pouch.

The most valuable were two Tier 3 Yao Beast Cores, both water-attribute Yao Beast Cores.

If Lin Yongmao had a few days, he could completely refine these two Tier 3 Yao Beast Cores with the Demonic Technique and smoothly advance to Golden Core Early Stage.

As for the other items, Lin Yongmao didn't find anything appealing.

It seemed that apart from abundant marine resources, especially Sea Demon Beast Materials and Yao Beast Cores, other resources in East Sea City were relatively scarce.

This was the Storage Pouch of a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator, yet there were not many items that caught his eye.

Seeing the smile on Lin Yongmao's lips, Kong San also vaguely guessed something.

However, Lin Yongmao's killing methods were too numerous, and he simply did not dare to say more, fearing he would follow in Xu Bodong's footsteps.

...

The Shenyin continued deeper into the Mirage Sea.

More and more Hunting Demon Teams were encountered along the way, and even top-tier Hunting Demon Teams were seen.

Everyone stood on the deck, no one went into the cabin to Cultivate anymore. With so many Hunting Demon Teams appearing, a fight could break out at any time due to a disagreement.

Li Niannian said to Kong San, "Team Leader Kong, you said you wanted to come earlier to get a clear understanding of the situation, but I didn't expect many Hunting Demon Teams to have the same idea as us."

Kong San said, "Is the intelligence wrong?"

Liu Yan added, "The news we received earlier was that the fog in the central area of the Mirage Sea would dissipate in the next few days, which is why we could find the location of the thousand-year five-colored lotus."

No wonder this thousand-year five-colored lotus had not been picked before; it turned out to be growing in the fog!

It's just that I don't know where this news came from?

Lin Yongmao finally understood why the Mo Gui Hunting Squad needed the Nightmare Seahorse. Nightmare Seahorses have the ability to dispel fog; they can create fog illusions and also dispel fog.

Kong San said, "We are about to enter the core area of the Mirage Sea. Everyone, stay alert."

Upon arriving here, there were no Sea Demon Beasts active; they had all tacitly hidden themselves.

They had no choice but to hide. With so many Hunting Demon Teams around, they would definitely choose not to have a direct conflict with immortal cultivators.

More than a dozen ships were anchored on the sea, with large patches of fog directly ahead.

Kong San steered the Shenyin to anchor in a relatively secluded spot.

Lin Yongmao looked at the foggy area. The fog was so thick it was almost solid, making it impossible to penetrate with one's Divine Sense. As for what was hidden in the fog, it was even more unknown.

Even the Attribute Panel couldn't scan anything valuable.

Looking at the surrounding ships, each ship represented a Hunting Demon Team, which meant there were at least a dozen Hunting Demon Teams here.

And the number was still increasing.

One of the leading Hunting Demon Teams was the Mo Gui Hunting Squad, one of the top Hunting Demon Teams in East Sea City.

Their ship was a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact. The hull was three or four times larger than other Hunting Demon Teams' ships, and it also had several Formations arranged on it.

It was a composite Formation, Lin Yongmao could tell.

The defensive performance of their ship Spiritual Artifact must be excellent!

And about four or five miles away from them, there was another ship echoing them, also a behemoth.
