Chapter 682: Hunting the Jiao
being able to bargain with Yuan Ying masters.>On the seventh floor, there are two primordial infant cultivators. Perhaps escaping to the seventh floor offers a glimmer of hope.As it turned out, Qin S...As the elderly couple put it, after leaving Dōgo Island, danger lurked everywhere.
Entering the depths of the Monster Sea, besides the demon beasts that might appear at any time, you also have to beware of other unfamiliar cultivators. In this chaotic place, anyone can turn into a murderous and treasure-grabbing fiend without being surprised.
The elderly couple had spent decades in the Demon Sea and had encountered similar dangers more than once. They always managed to escape thanks to their quick wit.
They recruited three others, forming this demon-hunting squad. It was through countless trials and tribulations that they forged the trust they have in each other.
The elderly couple was also straightforward with Qin Sang. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't accept employment from a stranger at the nascent soul stage. Because of Qiong Yu Merchant Guild and Ran Luo's guarantee, coupled with the generous reward given by Qin Sang and the Guild, they agreed to take the job.

After days of continuous travel, the distance to Lianxi Island is getting farther and farther.
Qin Sang could distinctly feel that as they left the range of patrol cultivators on Dù Yán Island, all the cultivators grew increasingly cautious.
As they moved further along, cultivators who unexpectedly encountered each other from afar spotted one another's figures. Without knowing the strength of their opponent, they immediately understood and discreetly kept a safe distance, avoiding any unnecessary conflict and refraining from approaching rashly.
This seems to be an unwritten rule in the Demon Sea.
The elderly couple were indeed very familiar with this area. They selected a route that they hadn't encountered any formidable demon beasts along the way. The journey was smooth and uneventful, and after more than ten days, they finally arrived at their destination.
“The trench is ahead.”
Everyone was stranded on a deserted island, carefully hiding their figures. The old couple pointed to the front and said to Qin Sang.
Perhaps it was psychological, but Qin Sang felt that the seawater ahead was deeper and more profound than elsewhere, with countless dangers lurking beneath the surface.
"Master Dao, the demonic spirit peak-stage Azure Dragon we discovered before, its lair is just three days' journey east from here. It should still be there, shouldn't we go now"
The old woman whispered to Qin Sang, seeking her opinion.

Qin Sang stood with his hands behind his back, glancing sideways at the old woman, and asked, "Since you knew the location of the Lan Jiao's nest for a long time, why didn't you hunt it down With your five people's strength, hunting down a peak-level demon spirit like the Blue Jiao shouldn't be difficult, right"
The old woman replied, “Under normal circumstances, hunting down this blue dragon wouldn't be difficult. But firstly, there's more than one blue dragon in the nest. While the other blue dragons aren't as powerful as this one, their strength shouldn't be underestimated. Secondly, the Demon Sea is teeming with demonic beasts, especially in the deep trenches. If we can't quickly kill the blue dragon and evacuate, we risk attracting other demonic beasts. Being surrounded by demonic beasts would leave us with little chance of survival. The five of us have only rarely hunted down peak Demonic Spirit Stage monsters, and we always prepare meticulously before taking action.”
Qin Sang 'hmm' said: "Since you say it is so dangerous, it seems that this poor Dao cannot be careless. When hunting the Jiao, it is best to have someone on guard outside, monitoring the surrounding waters. Who among you is skilled in exploration"
The elderly couple looked at each other.
The old man spoke, "Reporting to the Daoist master, both I and Wang's eldest sister have several methods that can detect the movements of demonic beasts in advance."
"Alright," Qin Sang nodded, "When you encounter the group of dragons, have the two women on guard outside. The three of you come with me to hunt them. I'll deal with the peak stage Azure Dragon, while you handle the rest. After the dragon hunt, the spoils will be distributed according to our agreement. All the smaller dragons except for the Azure Dragon leader belong to you."
The old couple and their three children beamed with delight and immediately agreed.
Qin Sang dealt with the leader of the Blue Jiao, and the rest were easy to handle. The bodies of the Jiao dragons were very valuable; they could make a fortune.
After the agreement was reached, everyone immediately set off on their journey.
Entering the trench, Qin Sang also put away his relaxed attitude and proactively released his divine sense to investigate the surrounding waters.
On the third evening, six figures appeared on a deserted stretch of sea. The water here was unusually calm, showing no trace of the dragon's activity.
"This is the place. These giant sea serpents, every full moon night, leave the trench and come out in groups to wreak havoc. That's when it's a good time to hunt them."
The old man whispered a word, then, in an arc-like motion, led everyone to a small reef island where they hid.
Qin Sang calculated with his fingers, two days later was the night of the full moon, he had to wait patiently.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, two days passed unknowingly.

As night fell, a bright full moon hung in the sky like a silver plate. The cool moonlight shimmered on the water. Even in the sea, there was a reflection of the moon, swaying with the waves.
The full moon appeared in the sky, and the sea remained incredibly calm.
On the reef, all six of them held their breath and stared wide-eyed, missing no change on the sea surface.
As time passed, it soon entered the dead of night. The moon rose high in the sky, but there was still no sign of the dragon.
Just then, the old man suddenly let out a low cry.
Here!
Qin Sang followed the elder's gaze. On the edge of the sea, a faint mist had risen at some point. At first glance, it looked like water vapor condensing from the sea.
Such scenes are common in the vast ocean, but this time was clearly unusual.
“Every time these Azure Dragons appear, they will stir the clouds and exhale mist, concealing their true forms within the watery haze...”

As Qin Sang listened to the elder's transmission, he noticed that the wisp of water vapor began to move slowly across the vast expanse of water. It grew larger and larger, shrouding a large area of the water surface in mist within several dozen breaths.
At the same time, within the mist, slender figures appeared and disappeared.
Dragon appears!
Qin Sang quietly left the reef island and walked towards the mist. After a certain distance from the mist, he stopped. This group of blue pythons didn't notice the danger approaching at all, they were happily frolicking in the mist.
After observing for a while, Qin Sang confirmed that the information was accurate. The highest cultivation level among this group of blue pythons was only at the peak of the demon spirit stage, so he immediately decided to make a move!
"Whoosh!"
The ebony sword flew out from Qin Sang's eyebrows, and the sword energy suddenly surged.
Next, the ebony sword did not hesitate. A dazzling sword light slashed fiercely towards the center of the water mist.
The five people on the reef saw the sword light and immediately flew out.
“You two go to the left and right to stand guard, the rest of you follow me into the lair to hunt the dragon!”
The old man quickly finished the distribution, and before his words could fall, Qin Sang charged into the water mist with a sword in hand. Within the water mist, there were roars of the dragon, rising and falling repeatedly.
"Hurry!"
The old man was in a great hurry, he used all his strength to rush towards the water mist.
The three of them each used their skills to rush into the mist. They found that the blue flood dragons in the mist were in disarray, so they quickly formed a formation and began to hunt. In the center of the mist, a figure stood aloft, with a large hand made of true essence in front of them, tightly grasping a blue flood dragon.

The blue dragon was covered in blood and was already at its last breath, held tightly by a giant hand with no power to resist!
