If it was just swimming in the sea, Lin Yi would not have a problem. As long as he operated his Genuine Qi, he could maintain his body temperature. The space in the jade pendant could not only continuously replenish his Genuine Qi, but also ensure the supply of oxygen. In this way, Lin Yi could stay in the sea for ten days and half a night without a problem.
However, since the sea could not stop Lin Yi, naturally, it could not stop West Mountain Old Sect, the evil cultivator giant. To think that he could get rid of West Mountain Old Sect by hiding in the sea was tantamount to a fool's talk. Even if he was deceiving himself, there was always a limit.
What's more, the sea was not like the ground. Even if he could calmly deal with the sea, he still had to face all kinds of unexpected dangers, such as sea beasts.
Due to its proximity to the South Continent, the sea beasts of the spirit beast clan did not interfere with each other. Most of them would not stay in the South Continent's sea. However, there were always exceptions. There were always some sea beasts that would wander in the South Continent's sea. Since they dared to come to the exclusive territory of the spirit beast clan, they naturally had one thing in common, and that was their strength must be very strong.
Lin Yi was truly unlucky today- he'd been hunted down by an Elder of the West Mountain sect early in the morning, and now that he'd escaped into the sea, he'd just so happened to provoke an extremely dangerous existence- a Ghost Lightning Ray that'd been lurking at the bottom of the sea, waiting for its prey.
Compared to other giant sea beasts that were hundreds of feet long, the Ghost Ray was very petite. From head to tail, it was less than five feet, very mini and pocket-sized.
Of course, giant sea beasts were too big a target, and the South Continent's sea, especially the offshore sea, was not deep. If they dared to come over, they would be immediately detected by the spirit beast clan and human cultivators. Therefore, the sea beasts that really swam in the South Continent's sea were mostly small existences like the Ghost Ray.
However, it was only small in size. For a terrifying existence like the Ghost Ray that could not be measured by common sense, if it really fought in the sea, not to mention the Gold Core Stage masters, even the Yuanying Stage masters would only be courting death. At least the Profound Ascending Stage masters had the capital to fight it.
A dark purple arc flashed in the sea. The Ghost Ray, which was buried in the sand and stones in a semi-dormant state, suddenly woke up the moment Lin Yi jumped into the water, and then like a ghost, silently chased after him.
The Ghost-lightning Ray was a pure carnivorous sea beast, limited by its size. Although its appetite was not as astonishing as other sea beasts, which could easily eat tons of meat, it was extremely picky about the quality of its prey. The stronger the creature, the more it liked.
It would be best if the prey was a powerful human cultivator. Not only was the meat tender, but it could also increase its strength with each bite. For the Ghost Lightning Ray, it was a delicacy made in heaven. If he wanted to hunt human cultivators, the South Sea was obviously the best choice. Just like what was happening right now, there would always be prey that would walk right into the trap.
The Ghost Ray was silent but extremely fast. Lin Yi had just entered a completely unfamiliar environment, and at the same time, he had to be careful of the West Mountain Elder. He was completely unaware of the danger coming from below. Fortunately, the jade pendant's warning function had not failed.
The jade pendant's urgent warning sounded in his head, and Lin Yi's already tense nerves suddenly became even more nervous. He thought that the West Mountain Elder had caught up, and immediately sped up to escape.
Unfortunately, he was underwater, and the Super Butterfly Microstep had lost its effect. If he wanted to move, he could only rely on swimming. However, this speed was really not complimentary. Although Lin Yi's swimming ability was not bad, it was only slightly better than ordinary people. Without special training, it was impossible to move as freely as on the ground.
However, although Lin Yi's speed was slow, the Ghost Ray that was pouncing up from below was not slow. As extremely dangerous dark purple electric arcs constantly streaked past his body, Lin Yi finally realized the huge ghost face that was rapidly approaching below, and his scalp went numb.
The reason why it was called the Ghost Ray was because from above, its back looked like a huge, hideous ghost face. It was like a death notice, because when a human cultivator saw this ghost face, it meant that he was not far from death.
At this moment, Lin Yi's mood was dull, and instantly sank to the bottom. He really did not look at the almanac when he went out today. Once a person's back was cold, even drinking cold water would get stuck in the gaps between the teeth. This was a living portrayal …
Although he had never seen the Ghost Ray before, judging from the dangerous aura it emitted, this strange and evil creature was definitely not easy to deal with. Not to mention that he was being chased by the West Mountain Elder, even under normal circumstances, Lin Yi might not have the confidence to deal with the Ghost Ray. After all, they were in the water.
The Ghost Ray was not as patient as the West Mountain Elder. After staring at Lin Yi, it immediately launched an attack. Countless frightening dark purple electric currents spread out from the ghost face on its back. At first glance, it looked messy, but upon closer inspection, one would find that these electric currents formed a three-dimensional cage, trapping Lin Yi alive.
At the same time, the Ghost Ray's long, black, slender tail suddenly stabbed at Lin Yi's back from an extremely tricky angle. This was a true sneak attack expert, and its speed was so fast that even Lin Yi's Super Butterfly Microstep could not match up to it. Especially in the water, such speed could be called invincible.
The jade pendant's alarm sounded, and Lin Yi finally reacted in the nick of time. Disregarding the cost, he used all his Genuine Qi, causing his body to move a small step in an instant. The Ghost Ray's creepy long tail almost pierced Lin Yi's ear. Although it did not graze him, the fierce water flow left a long, narrow wound on Lin Yi's cheek. It was a ghastly sight.
Missing its attack, the Ghost Ray let out a strange cry, and the purple electric cage trapping Lin Yi rapidly tightened. It seemed that it was ready to electrocute Lin Yi alive.
The Ghost Ray's most powerful weapon was naturally the terrifying electric current it emitted. If measured by the units of the mortal world, its strength was at least hundreds of millions of volts, enough to electrocute any Yuanying stage expert alive.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Ghost Ray would not use electricity to kill, because it would destroy the prey's flesh. Therefore, its first attack was to trap the prey in the purple electric cage, and then use its long tail to kill the prey. However, Lin Yi had dodged this attack, so it could only resort to this.
Even if the meat was a little burnt, it was better than letting the prey escape. This was the Ghost Ray's hunting strategy.
The purple electric cage rapidly tightened from all directions, and this time, even Genuine Qi could not save Lin Yi. Before he even came into direct contact with the purple electric, Lin Yi's body had already fallen into a state of paralysis. No matter how much he stimulated it with Genuine Qi, he could not alleviate it.
Lin Yi could not help but smile bitterly. He had not escaped from the tiger's den, but had fallen into the wolf's den. This time, he was really dead!
