"Bang!"
"Thud!"
"Kill!!"
"Defeated [Flesh and Blood Evil Beast], reward: +800 experience, +10 Silver Coins."
"Defeated [Flesh and Blood Evil Beast], reward: +800 experience, +10 Silver Coins."
Each Flesh and Blood Evil Beast that leaped from the depths of the ocean was immediately slain by the coordinated efforts of the crew.
In the minds of everyone, the corresponding task rewards kept popping up.
At this moment, a small mechanical device on Fang Yu's wrist was spinning rapidly, with the electronic eye on top seemingly flickering with red light.
"Flesh and Blood Evil Beast record: 51..."
"Flesh and Blood Evil Beast record: 52..."
This was the kill record device provided by the Alchemist Association.
As long as a Flesh and Blood Evil Beast was killed, the device would jump, then update the kill count on the recorder.
More than an hour passed.
With everyone's continued efforts, the number of kills had already exceeded 50.
However...
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Fang Yu's eyes. He shook his head, raised his pistol, and instantly turned a charging Flesh and Blood Evil Beast into a puddle of flesh, then looked out toward the distant sea.
"Prepare the ship to continue moving forward, don't waste too much time on these Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts."
"Save some energy for those Flesh and Blood Warships!"
Fang Yu spoke in a low voice.
Although killing the Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts significantly increased both experience and the numbers on the record device,
it would not yield any Inheritance fragments for the Alchemist.
The more Inheritance fragments there are, the more they help counteract the suppression force of the Meat Mountain.
It's a chain task; continuously completing missions, boosting the Alchemist Association's level, and snowballing the quest rewards would be a better strategy, rather than just killing the Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts.
Sinking one Flesh and Blood Warship is worth as much as killing five Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts!
As soon as Fang Yu finished speaking, the Salted Fish, under his command, swiftly sailed forward.
Along the way, there were still Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts leaping from the water onto the deck, seeking the opportunity to attack the crew.
However, these beasts, as soon as they jumped aboard, were quickly killed by the crew working together.
"Flesh and Blood Evil Beast record: 71..."
"Flesh and Blood Evil Beast record: 72..."
The record device's data continued to climb, but it was all Flesh and Blood Evil Beast kill records, with no records for the Flesh and Blood Warships.
Only by sinking the Flesh and Blood Warships can one obtain the Alchemist's Inheritance fragments; no matter how many Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts are killed, it doesn't hold much value.
"Another ship has been torn to pieces."
Luo Kuan and Du Ran worked together to kill a Flesh and Blood Evil Beast on the spot, but the corner of their eyes caught sight of a large amount of ship debris floating on the sea.
After seeing these ship remnants, everyone glanced at each other, detecting the strange expressions in each other's eyes.
For the crew, as long as they were careful, the Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts wouldn't pose much of a threat to the Salted Fish.
After all, in some respects, the Salted Fish wasn't just a strong ship; the individual strength of its crew and captain was exceptionally formidable.
Their capabilities were quite comprehensive.
But for an ordinary captain, the ability of the Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts to ignore shields and leap directly onto the ship was too strange and sudden.
In a moment, a heap of monsters would climb aboard and start the slaughter.
Caught off guard, they could easily fall into defeat.
Moreover...
Many ships concentrated their capabilities entirely on modifications, making the ship their primary investment.
The individual strength of the crew and captain was often quite average.
The ships might have warship-level configurations, but their personnel had freight ship-level combat strength.
It's even possible that some crew members had little experience in close combat.
This scenario was not uncommon.
When facing dangers that the ships cannot handle, the crew might be stunned, granting the Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts the opportunity to kill and devour them.
So, along the way, despite the abundance of freight ship wreckages,
there were also some remnants of warship-level ships.
Quite lamentable.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, everyone's gaze suddenly shifted forward, spotting several ship silhouettes enlarging in their sight, sailing rapidly towards the perimeter of the East Ring Sea Region.
These ships were moving in the opposite direction of the Salted Fish, and the two sides soon met face-to-face.
They were several warships.
However, they didn't appear to be overly powerful, appearing to have just entered the warship class with quite basic enchantments and enhancements.
The people sailing toward saw a large freighter heading towards the core of the East Ring Sea Region. Startled, they shouted from the ships:
"Folks on the freighter, don't go any further, it's much more dangerous ahead than everyone thinks. The suppressive power of the Meat Mountain is much stronger than we imagined!"
"It's better to honestly retreat to the edges and focus on hunting some Flesh and Blood Evil Beasts!"
Several captains stood at the bow, loudly warning Fang Yu and the others.
At this moment, Fang Yu leaned out, curiously looking at these captains: "Is the Meat Mountain's suppression force really that strong? How much power can your enchantments still wield?"
Upon seeing Fang Yu, several of them were surprised: "It's Fang Yu?"
One captain, who wore a blue sailing suit, spoke loudly: "Brother Fang Yu, the suppression force ahead is indeed formidable. Our ships can only utilize less than ten percent of their enchanted capabilities. We almost got sunk by a Flesh and Blood Warship, which scared us away from the core area."
