Vol 2 Chapter 153: Self-rescue and confrontation

On the vast expanse of water, a giant lotus is slowly moving.
On these giant lotuses, there are many survivors, all of them from all over the southern border, lucky to avoid the flood.
In the process of struggling and waiting for rescue, some daring survivors immediately seized the opportunity when they were lucky enough to discover the purpose of the giant lotus.
They moved from the mountain to the water, used the giant lotus as a boat on the water, and tried every means to survive in a desperate situation.
For those who dare to take risks, there will always be more opportunities.
There are also many survivors who dare not enter the water easily, and still stay on the top of the mountain that has turned into an island.
In the eyes of these survivors, it should be safer to stay where they are.
This kind of thinking is also correct, at least you don't have to go deep into the water and directly face the siege of terrifying water monsters.
However, there will still be water monsters that come ashore in groups and hunt the survivors as prey.
Whether you go or stay, there are pros and cons, it's up to you to choose.
The hoped-for rescue never came.
It is normal for this situation to occur. After all, the entire continent was swallowed up by the flood, and the survivors were too busy to take care of themselves.
If you can't save yourself, how can you ask for help from others.
This flood is so terrible that no matter how powerful a country is, it has now become history.
The original order has collapsed, new rules are slowly emerging, and all kinds of ugly things are starting to break out among the survivors.
The survivors are all struggling, trying to survive this catastrophe, but people are eliminated every moment, with deep regret and despair before dying.
In the southern part of the continent, once a desert area, sand dunes surrounded by sea water can be seen from time to time.
A string of giant lotuses floated in the distance, and they were fixed with ropes to form a floating island on the water.
There are nearly a thousand people gathered on the island, most of them with homemade weapons, and from time to time they will look at the water with a vigilant expression on their faces.
At the beginning of this team, there were only a few drowning people. During the period, it continued to expand and gradually gained its current size.
Later, on a mountain, I met two cultivators. After they joined, the team's combat power quickly soared.
When encountering ordinary water monsters, there is no need to be afraid.
But if you encounter a giant water monster, you still have to be very careful and avoid it as much as possible.
Those huge underwater beasts also hate giant lotus, but they can still launch attacks under rage.
The power of these sea monsters can easily destroy the giant lotus, killing all the survivors on board.
The problem is that these giant sea monsters, mostly lurking in the depths of the sea, are extremely difficult for survivors to find.
Fortunately, the situation soon improved significantly.
The survivors suddenly discovered that some strange flesh-and-blood balloons appeared at sea, the surface was covered with flesh-and-blood fascia, and it looked like a blossoming flower bud.
From time to time, it will expand, revealing the tender stamens inside the bubbles, looking like nerves and flesh and blood tentacles, shivering from contact with the air.
Some survivors couldn't help but wonder, and when they tried these weird bubbles, they discovered something terrifying.
These strange meat ball bubbles actually grow from the monster's body, and as long as they touch it, the water monster will be alarmed.
Looking at the appearance of the water monster, it seems to be abnormally painful.
Regardless of size, water monsters have grown out of this weird flesh-and-blood flower, floating on the water one by one.
The appearance of flesh and blood flowers is simply a timely rain, which has helped the survivors a lot.
You only need to observe carefully and avoid most of the dangers when you see flesh-and-blood flowers.
If the monster wants to approach the sneak attack, the flesh-and-blood flowers will reveal the trail, so that the survivors can prepare in advance.
The survivors at this time have gradually realized that the appearance of giant lotus and flesh and blood flowers is no coincidence.
They appear in disasters, obviously to help survivors and gain more chances of survival in desperate situations.
In the end, is it born to raise, or someone deliberately spreads and nurtures it, specially to deal with this catastrophe?
No one knows the answer, but many are grateful.
At this moment, on the giant lotus, two practitioners were talking, and a large group of strong men and women gathered around them.
One of the practitioners said loudly to the crowd: "Based on my observation of the astrological signs, combined with other geographical clues, we have been able to determine our position.
Make sure that when no one is in control, the giant lotus will automatically approach the center of the continent, and this is the case for every flower. "
When the monk said this, he looked at the people around him and said in a serious tone: "We must pay attention to this phenomenon, if the end point is any dangerous place, we must be prepared to evacuate in time.
You must not be unwilling to give up and leave because of the benefits of the giant lotus, and end up in a dangerous situation. "
This cultivator is not malicious, and what he said is the truth. He said what he observed in the hope of brainstorming.
It's up to you to decide, what choice should you make?
If it is placed in the past, and the practitioners are high above, such a thing will definitely not happen.
After experiencing the catastrophe, the mentality of these surviving practitioners has changed.
They are no longer high above, but are willing to cooperate with ordinary people to fight this catastrophe together.
Obviously, it is very clear that in the face of terrifying natural disasters, even practitioners are very weak.
Not to mention that under the sea, there are countless terrifying monsters that can easily kill practitioners in seconds.
In a desperate situation, the power of mortals is also a great help, and it can even have unexpected effects.
To maintain respect for mortals and cooperate with each other to overcome calamities has become a matter of course.
Hearing the practitioner's analysis, everyone's faces were embarrassed, which was indeed a headache.
They were able to get here with the protection of the giant lotus, otherwise they could only wait to die on the top of the mountain.
But at this moment, they have to make a choice, whether to believe that the giant lotus will continue to ride, or find another shelter in time.
After a few breaths of silence, someone opened his mouth and said: "I can live to this day, all thanks to the pure water condensed by the giant lotus, the fruit that grows.
So I believe that this is the way of life given by God, and it is also the only chance.
No matter what other people think, I will definitely not leave.
Even if I make the wrong choice in the end, I am willing, because even if I go to other places, I may not be able to live long. "
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who chuckled at the crowd, turned around and started patrolling the edge of the giant lotus.
"Me too, I don't plan to leave."
Several people responded with a firm tone.
There were also some survivors whose expressions became hesitant. They discussed in a low voice, and finally made a choice.
"If there is a suitable place, you can stay for a while and observe the situation before taking action."
Although he was afraid, he was afraid that the giant lotus would bring him into a dangerous place.
Another cultivator never said a word, just silently looking into the distance.
Unlike undecided mortals, he has already made plans. No matter where the giant lotus finally drifts, he must follow it to take a look.
What's more, the giant lotus at the moment is drifting in the direction of Loucheng, which is the legendary place of miracles, and there may be miracles.
Just as everyone was discussing, they suddenly heard a roar, which was obviously a giant monster in the ocean.
Everyone followed the sound, but saw a strange scene.
Strange things are flying in the air, it looks like a strange ship, but it has a pair of slender wings.
It continuously shoots out dazzling rays of light, hitting the flesh-and-blood sphere of the monster exposed on the water, and the flesh and blood fly away in an instant.
The underwater monster was in extreme pain, let out a shrill howl, and rushed up directly from the bottom of the water.
The shape of this monster resembles a combination of a crab and an octopus. It is about tens of meters in length and probably weighs hundreds of tons.
It has to be said here that the land has too many restrictions on sea monsters, and it is simply a heavy truck driving into a country road.
The average water depth is only two or three hundred meters, which seems to be deep enough, but it is a little shallow for the giant beasts in the sea.
The shallow water restricts their movement, and they will run aground if they are not careful, which seriously affects the movement speed of the sea beasts.
Moreover, the rules on land will also have an impact on the sea clan, and in this regard, they are no different from the monks of the upper realm.
Fighting in such an environment, especially when facing the enemy in the air, the disadvantage of the sea beast will become more and more obvious.
Sure enough, as the sea beast jumped out, the attacker in the air also rose to a high enough position.
However, the beam of light at this time was no longer able to cause damage to the sea beast, and it was only a scorch mark on the body.
Just when everyone thought that the object in the air could not help the sea monster, an object suddenly fell rapidly from the sky.
Slender and sharp, the tail shoots fire
Before everyone came back to their senses, the thing had already hit the sea monster, followed by a loud noise.
