Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

"How come you, a giant-winged flying fish, can [discharge]? Is your giant-winged flying fish legal?!"

Li Tao did not forget to say some nonsense while quickly dodging the electric net full of violent thunder elements. The electric net fell into the sea with electric arcs, and the fish that had not been able to escape before were electrocuted and turned upside down and floated to the surface of the sea.

Fish, you can’t escape the danger. Li Tao drew out his sword and tried to attack the manta ray they were just talking about. However, the manta ray could indeed “fly”: it took a breath through its gill slits, and its entire body swelled several points as if it was inflated, and then it flapped its pectoral fins in mid-air, quickly dodging Li Tao’s sword.

Can they breathe air and glide on it? Is this the secret of manta ray flight?

Li Tao looked at the manta ray floating in the air vigilantly, but the sword in his hand did not stop. He immediately condensed water blades and flew towards it.

Li Tao certainly knew that using water elemental power to attack monsters in the water would cause much less damage, but his attack was just a test, just like the opponent's initial attack was just a feint.

However, the manta ray was unable to dodge and was slashed by several sharp water blades, leaving many fine wounds. It immediately became furious, let out a sharp cry, and plunged into the water with a whoosh.

Whoosh—bang!

A lot of water splashed up, and at the same time, a lot of waves were raised in the sea area. The waves hit the hull of the boat violently, and the hull was shaking. Li Tao almost lost his balance and fell on the deck.

"Well, it's inconvenient to turn in the air, so it's more accustomed to moving in the water? Then why did it float to the surface of the sea and discharge electricity at me?"

Li Tao thought about it for a moment and soon figured it out: "I think this beast is used to hunting like this on a daily basis. Few of its prey in the past could withstand this move. This time it suddenly encountered a tough guy and did not dare to act rashly. Instead, it was injured by my tentative attack."

At this time, Chongyun also rushed out of the cabin holding his big sword: "Brother Li! I hadn't been steering the ship for a while when I heard a shrill scream outside and felt a strong turbulence. What was that?"

"It's the Devil Fish we just talked about." Li Tao answered helplessly, while staring at the sea with full concentration, "Look, it's that black shadow!"

Chongyun also saw the shadow of the manta ray and complained in the same way: "No, why did it show up just when we were talking about it? Isn't it said that this thing only exists in the legends of fishermen?"

Li Tao: ...I can't say that, according to my memory, [devil ray] and [ray] are completely different species, right?

"Anyway, it's just an unfortunate coincidence that we ran into each other today. I can't run away now, I have to fight it!"

Li Tao wanted to drive it away, but it looked like it was hunting. Moreover, it was very large, and a little splash in the sea could create a lot of waves, and the boat Li Tao and his crew were driving had no ability to resist wind and waves.

By the way, it’s strange that this thing appeared in the coastal area of ​​Liyue, right?

"Then let's fight!... But what about our ships? If the aftermath of the battle reaches the ships, won't we be doomed?" Chongyun first responded with high morale, but then remembered this realistic problem.

"There's no time to get on the boat now. Team member Chongyun, quickly use [Ice Condensation to Cross the Sea], I'll go get Xiangling. The next battle will be fought on the sea!" Li Tao took two steps back, patted the outer wall of the cabin, and pulled Xiangling out, who hadn't yet fully understood the situation.

coming!

The shaking of the boat under his feet reminded Chongyun that the [Devil Fish] had once again chosen the right moment, jumped out of the water from the bottom of the sea and attacked them!

Without Li Tao's assistance or reminder, Chongyun's rich experience in fighting enemies had already made him ready for battle in advance.

"You actually attacked passing ships. It's clear that this beast has a preliminary understanding of humans. No need to say more, you are a demon!"

Spiritual Blade·Chonghua Overlapping Frost!

A large amount of ice elements seemed to emerge from the void and attached to Chongyun's sword. Then, a mysterious power - the power of the demon hunter - also descended along with the elemental power.

Chongyun seized the opportunity and swung his sword, which had been accumulating power for a long time, down with the force of thunder.

The moment the Devil Fish emerged from the water, it was slashed by the move [Chonghua Diehuang], leaving a bloody wound on its head so deep that the bone could be seen. It didn't even have time to scream before it was violently pulled back into the water by the sword.

At the same time, the ice elemental power attached to [Chonghua Diehuang] fell down, freezing the nearby sea area with a thin layer of ice. Li Tao and Xiangling just ran out of the cabin and saw the [Manta] being hit back into the water by a sword.

"Great, Chongyun, well done!" Xiangling cheered in surprise, "Now it can't just come out from the bottom of the water and attack us anymore!"

But the boat is also frozen. Also, there seems to be something wrong with this [Manta]...

Li Tao sensed the sea area under the ice and said confidently: "This guy hasn't left yet. Strange, isn't he scared?"

Chongyun also put down his sword temporarily in confusion: "I used all my strength in the last strike. I can split an ordinary hillbilly in half with this move. But from the feeling just now, I always feel that I didn't really hurt it."

"Hmm... Hmm? Chongyun, Ningbing, follow me! Xiangling, let's get off the boat!"

Li Tao sensed some emergency situation underwater. He did not bother to explain anything to his companions. He could only quickly order Chongyun to freeze the ice more solidly, and then he pulled Xiangling over and jumped off the boat.

boom! ! !

As soon as the three of them jumped off the boat, they felt a huge force coming from behind them, pushing them away from where they were - at the same time, the solid ice that Chongyun had worked so hard to condense with elemental power actually broke apart at this moment.

When Li Tao looked back, he was almost furious: the cunning devil fish had stirred up a vortex on the seabed at some point, and by adding water elemental power, it formed a majestic waterspout! It was this thing that went straight to the bottom of the surfing boat and even threw the entire boat into the air! The surfing boat could no longer withstand such an impact and turned into fragments that dissipated in the air.

The three of them held on tightly to each other, trying to keep their bodies stable. But at this moment, their faces were full of solemnity - this time, there was really no way out.

Li Tao observed the Devil Fish that was floating up again after taking a breath, and whispered, "Brother Chongyun, I finally understand. This guy is very good at using water elemental power to heal himself, so even if he is seriously injured, as long as he dives into the water, he can heal himself quickly!"

Chongyun also smiled bitterly and said, "I can see that too. The sword mark I just made now only leaves a little blood... With such a terrifying recovery ability, plus those means of manipulating elemental forces, this strength is definitely comparable to that of some elite monster!"

Li Tao stared at the [human face] on its lower abdomen that seemed to be smiling strangely, and said to himself and others: "I have encountered worse situations than this before, so what does this crisis mean now? As I said before... let's fight!"

Even Xiangling clenched her spear tightly and whispered back, "If fighting is necessary, then we should fight! Hey, Manta, you can't stop a chef from looking forward to delicious food and the future!"
