Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 323 - 193: Beast Tide Approaches

Two months later.

In the depths of the vast sea region of Five Dragons Island and Xingji Island, gigantic creatures swam in the water.

The sky was covered in dark clouds, the sea surged violently, and within the dark waters, terrifying figures were densely packed.

"Splash!"

A gigantic creature, three feet long, crashed onto a barren island, immediately letting out an ear-piercing roar.

Soon after, one after another, Giant Bone Sea Fish Beasts appeared, crowding onto the shore, with male Sea Beasts showcasing their strong bodies under the storm.

Attracting females to them.

This sea region was too vast, even though countless cultivators came here continuously to form teams and hunt demon beasts on the barren islands, they hadn’t even occupied one percent of the islands.

Another point was that the barren islands sought by human race cultivators weren’t too far from each other, as everyone feared the unexpected.

Jade Spirit Island.

"The Beast Tide is coming, all cultivators prepare yourselves."

During the Beast Tide, merchant ships usually seen on the sea surface had long since vanished.

And the Island Protection Array on the island gradually activated, forming a barrier shimmering with spiritual energy, enveloping the entire island.

Meanwhile, on the island, one could see some strong ordinary people and Qi Refining Cultivators forming groups, risking themselves at the array barrier, preparing to hunt.

"Indeed, the customs are simple, even these ordinary people are used to hunting Sea Beasts." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Seeing this, Lin Chang’an nodded secretly. This array was specifically set up by Bihai Palace; he had studied it a bit.

It leveraged geographical advantages, purely defensive.

Very ancient, yet very practical.

"But really didn’t expect that in the Beast Tide, one could earn Spirit Stones from loose cultivators and ordinary people."

Recalling the recent island events, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but show an odd expression.

These ordinary people and loose cultivators wanted to rely on the array barrier to hunt Sea Beasts, increasing safety. Naturally, many were willing.

This generated profit.

The three major families discussed with them, allowing cultivators to register through the array jade token and pay fees.

Thus, during the Beast Tide, by utilizing jade tokens conveniently, they could pass through the array and hunt demon beasts opportunistically.

After the Beast Tide passed, numerous demon beast materials would be collected by the associations of the three families for trade, also taking a cut.

Of course, they shared in that fee.

"Indeed, whether ordinary people or cultivators, the strongest instinct is survival."

Lin Chang’an went from being amazed at the survival methods of ordinary people here to understanding and accepting them.

If ordinary people weren’t so resilient, they wouldn’t have developed.

"Here they come!"

At that moment, under the raging sea waves, ferocious giant beasts appeared.

The larger ones were three feet big, the smaller ones over one foot long, their icy red eyes flashing amidst lightning and thunder.

"This period is also the most combative for male Giant Bone Sea Fish Beasts."

Sea Beasts climbed onto the island, slower than in water, but with hard scale armor and massive bodies, their strength was still formidable.

As Sea Beasts collided with the water curtain barrier, a dull sound echoed.

Many Sea Beasts, after fruitless collisions, would turn to other places, only a few violent powerful Sea Beasts relentlessly struck.

Some loose cultivators and strong ordinary people formed teams, targeting isolated Sea Beasts through the array, quickly retreating into the array if anything felt off.

Moreover, the array jade token could only open a six-foot-wide entrance; even if a Sea Beast wanted to enter, its massive body wholly restricted it.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

In the dark stormy sea, pairs of icy red beast eyes emerged, making people’s hearts tremble.

...

"Most are Tier One Demon Beasts, only a couple are Tier Two, and they’re really cautious."

Outside his array tower, Lin Chang’an, with a calm demeanor, directly stepped out of the array barrier.

In the next moment, countless sea beasts in the distance revealed their bloodthirsty eyes, seeming to scent prey.

Human race cultivators were also tonic for demon beasts.

Yet facing this group of sea beasts, Lin Chang’an couldn’t even bother to make a move.

With a single bellow, the imposing Tier Two Middle Stage spirit pet, Cyan-Horned Bull, charged out.

Its sharp horns would toss a beast with each strike, stepping with its strong hooves that even the hardest heads would shatter.

It was a crushing scenario.

And the Phoenix Cry Bird, transforming into a streak of golden light, darted back and forth, each time precisely piercing through a hard head, causing instant death.

"Alright, hurry and wrap it up, this battle has just begun."

Lin Chang’an, with a calm demeanor, infused a surge of mana into the two beasts.

This mana not only helped himself but had miraculous effects on the spirit pets too.

Accelerating mana recovery, immunity to same-tier toxins, etc.

Then Lin Chang’an took out a bone-shaped sea shell Magical Artifact, which he had purchased at the market earlier.

It was made from the throat bone of a Tier Two female Giant Bone Sea Fish Beast, serving no other function but to emit this unique sound.

As he blew it with mana, the sea shell emitted a peculiar sound, not loud but very alluring to the Giant Bone Sea Fish Beast.

This was his tool for luring Tier Two sea beasts.

Although Tier Two demon beasts were not lacking in intelligence, even adult cultivators could be tempted by desires, not to mention demon beasts.

"Here they come!"

With the pairs of icy red beast eyes in the dark waves, the Cyan-Horned Bull’s hair stood on end, glaring with wide eyes.
