Chapter 024 He actually possesses supernatural powers
"General Anchor, General Anchor who saves us from suffering, please show your power and save my cargo!"
Seventy miles west of the river's central boundary, a merchant ship, over ten meters long, ran aground on a reef. Despite trying every possible method, it could not be moved. In desperation, the merchant could only go to the bow of the ship and pray, begging the Iron Anchor General for rescue.
Whoosh!
More than an hour passed, and just when the merchant was almost in despair, the sound of water arose, and a monster emerged from the water with a human head and a fish body. It was none other than the Iron Anchor General that his friend had mentioned before.
The merchant steadied himself, knelt on the deck, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"General Anchor, please appear! General Anchor, please appear! I beg you to have mercy and save this helpless and miserable person."
"I know your request."
Li Yue let out a soft cry and disappeared into the water again.
Instead of pushing the boat, they went straight to the reef, summoned the wave-stopping anchor, and dropped the anchor directly onto it.
Boom!
With a loud crash, accompanied by surging waves, more than half of the reef collapsed instantly.
As large rocks sank to the bottom of the water, the stranded boats naturally freed themselves.
"Oh my! This is... great! They're out!"
Startled by the underwater commotion, the businessman gripped the gunwale tightly with both hands. Just as he regained his balance, he discovered that the boat had already left the reef, and he was overjoyed.
He then quickly turned to the cabin and shouted loudly.
"The boat is out! Set sail!"
"They're here."
With a response, four boatmen, dressed in straw raincoats and bamboo hats, emerged from the cabin.
"It's true! The rumors are true! Look, General Anchor has really appeared!"
The businessman was visibly excited, pointing at the water as he spoke.
The boatman looked up and saw a carp spirit with a human body and a fish head standing in the water not far away, holding an iron anchor.
"They actually came."
The boatman said something in a low voice, his voice tinged with a strange excitement.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the four boatmen ripped off their straw raincoats and hats, revealing themselves to be human-bodied fish-headed creatures covered in scales.
"You, you, you all!"
Upon seeing the boatman's appearance, the merchant's eyes widened in horror. But then, looking at the anchor general in the water, he paused in surprise.
"Could you be friends of General Iron Anchor?"
"Haha, we're friends who'd go to great lengths for each other!"
The four spirits laughed twice and immediately jumped into the water.
Like an arrow released from a bow, it swiftly swam towards Li Yue.
Faced with the four strange creatures coming at him aggressively, Li Yue showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he tried to identify their true forms by looking at their heads: two pike, one largemouth bass, and one yellow catfish.
One of the dogfish spirits was slightly faster, charging ahead with a harpoon in hand.
Whoosh!
Less than twenty meters away from Li Yue, the surrounding water rippled, and purple marks appeared one after another.
"What is it?"
Surrounded by the lightning seal, the dogfish spirit blinked, completely unaware of the danger.
Crackling sounds!
The next moment, all the lightning seals were released at once, and more than twenty violent electric currents instantly enveloped the dogfish spirit.
Before the dogfish spirit could even react, it was electrocuted and its body stiffened, sinking straight to the bottom of the river.
A single lightning seal has limited power, but Li Yue planted more than twenty in advance, so stunning a fish spirit in the transformation stage wouldn't be a problem.
"Was that... a spell?"
"He possesses supernatural powers!"
The remaining three fish spirits immediately changed their expressions, and a hint of fear appeared in their eyes.
Having cultivated spiritual energy and reached the Transformation stage, this creature could actually unleash supernatural powers and spells, making it far from an ordinary carp spirit.
"Don't be afraid, that's just a smokescreen he prepared in advance!"
Just then, a slender black shadow suddenly darted up from below, yelled, and bit Li Yue hard.
It's that eel spirit.
Li Yue's eyes widened instantly; the eel spirit was hiding among the rocks below!
The eel spirit was swift and launched a sneak attack. Although Li Yue tried his best to dodge, he was still bitten on the calf.
In an instant, blood gushed out.
Looking at the scales that had been bitten through, Li Yue frowned secretly. What a ferocious eel.
His scales, forged in the fire of alchemy and as hard as steel, were actually bitten through in one go.
"pity."
The eel spirit floated in the water, its cold gaze fixed on Li Yue.
He had originally intended to tear off one of Li Yue's legs, but the scales were too hard, and he only managed to bite off a piece of flesh.
"What are you all standing there for! Get up there now!"
Immediately afterwards, the eel spirit shouted again.
The other three fish spirits then came to their senses, each armed with their weapons, and charged forward again.
Compared to the Spirit Awakening stage, the transformation and treasure refining process no longer relies entirely on the physical body. And besides refining magical treasures, since one already has hands and feet, one can naturally use various weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.
Although Li Yue's scales had been tempered, they couldn't withstand too many cuts and blows.
Whoosh!
Just as the three fish spirits were about to rush towards him, Li Yue raised his hand and flicked out a piece of seaweed.
The water plants clumped together and entangled the black bass spirit.
Entangled in the seaweed, the black bass spirit's eyes immediately turned white, and it was unable to move.
Although the fish-driving whip is only a ninth-grade magic weapon, it naturally suppresses fish. Although the black perch spirit has taken human form, it has not yet lost its true nature. Being entangled by it is like a lamb falling into a tiger's mouth, instantly losing all power to resist.
"What's going on!"
Seeing the black bass spirit sinking to the bottom of the water, the yellow eel spirit and the other two fish spirits were all filled with surprise.
It's a spirit in the transformation stage, after all; how could it be so easily bound by a piece of waterweed?
"He actually possesses a treasure!"
The eel spirit then looked at Li Yue, its gaze growing increasingly sinister.
"He's out of options, attack!"
Another cold shout rang out, signaling the other two fish spirits to continue their charge.
"Good timing."
Li Yue gripped the Zhilangding axe tightly, let out a roar, and charged straight at the enemy.
The handover was completed without the slightest hesitation; the anchor was dropped immediately.
Dogfish are inherently fierce, and the remaining dogfish spirit did not hesitate at all, raising its spear to stab at them as well.
Click!
But imagine, how could such ordinary iron be a match for the anchor ship? It broke into several pieces in an instant.
With its remaining strength, Zhilangding used the momentum to flip the dogfish spirit over.
Fortunately, the dogfish spirit was agile and dodged in time, so although it was a bit disheveled, it didn't get hit.
"idiot!"
I told them long ago that the anchor was no ordinary object, yet they still dared to fight it head-on.
The eel spirit cursed in exasperation, then pounced on Li Yue, trying to tear him apart.
On the other side, the Yellow Bone Fish Demon also rushed over, aiming two short thorns at Li Yue.
Pfft!
Li Yue turned to the Yellow Bone Fish Spirit and opened his mouth to spray out a huge circular bubble.
Although it wasn't particularly lethal, it caught the yellow catfish spirit off guard and sent it flying back.
"He even has supernatural powers! He definitely does!"
Seeing this, the eel spirit was not afraid at all, but became even more excited and opened its mouth to bite Li Yue.
They were only inches away, but suddenly they couldn't go any further.
The eel spirit turned his head and was startled to see a water ghost that had appeared out of nowhere, now tightly gripping his tail.
At this moment, Li Yue, holding the Wave-Stopping Stone, had already chased after the dogfish spirit that had just been knocked over.
Having already tasted the power of the dogfish spirit, it dared not resist any longer. With a sway of its body, it revealed its true form and flicked its tail to escape.
Splash!
After swimming a dozen meters, the dogfish spirit suddenly heard the piercing sound of chains behind it. It turned its head and its eyes widened in terror.
Boom!
With a muffled thud, the seven-foot-long dogfish demon was smashed into several pieces!
