The space on the raft was limited, but Shen Ping and the others’ physique and reaction speed far exceeded that of ordinary mortals. In addition, the speed of the water arrows was not too fast, so they easily dodged the first wave of swordfish attacks.
After the swordfish finished attacking, it rushed towards the other races at the back. He looked at the distant islands. Immortal Venerable Nanji frowned and said, “If these swordfish attack continuously, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for us to board the island.”
Immortal Venerable Qi nodded, “I don’t know what difficulties there are on the island. We can only take it one step at a time. Everyone, keep a distance to avoid being directly crushed by the waves swept up by the sword fish.”
The group rowed the raft, splashing layers of water on the surface of the lake.
Ten minutes later, the second wave of swordfish swept over at an extremely fast speed. Not only were the numbers doubled, but the speed at which they spat out water arrows also increased.
Although an attack of this level was still within everyone’s tolerance, if it continued to increase, they would not be able to hold on sooner or later. Moreover, the swordfish only attacked them with water arrows and had not hit the raft. Once a large number of swordfish surrounded the raft, it would be very difficult for them to maintain the raft.
Everyone knew this very well. But they did not have a good solution for the time being in the face of such a problem. They could only brace themselves and continue rushing towards the island.
Another ten minutes passed.
The third wave of swordfish came. This wave of swordfish was clearly different from the previous two waves. When the swordfish jumped up, no water arrows were spat out.
Immortal Venerable Qi, who was at the front, suddenly shouted, “Quick, kill these swordfish!” As he shouted, he waved his magic treasure and quickly attacked the swordfish that flew past the raft. Although the others, including Shen Ping, did not know what was going on, they reacted extremely quickly and killed the swordfish together.
After Shen Ping’s spear stabbed a swordfish, it immediately exploded into light, and a beast blood’s essence and jade plate appeared in the light. He immediately came to a realization. Then, he hurriedly waved the Primordial Chaos Spear in his hand. However, the number of swordfish that flew past the raft was limited. One wave only took three breaths, and there were only more than ten swordfish in total. Furthermore, some of the swordfish did not have beast blood’s essence and a jade plate.
As a large number of swordfish rushed back, Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Qi, and the others turned around and stared at these swordfish reluctantly, looking like they wanted to rush over and continue killing.
When the two waves of swordfish rushed over, they had complained that they had entered the water too early and helped the Devil Clan, Spirit Race, and other races behind resist the first wave of attacks. Now, they wished they could get closer. This way, they might be able to obtain more jade plates.
It had to be known that they had obtained many jade plates from the altar of the mountain peak. For example, if Immortal Venerable Nanji obtained more than 50 jade plates, he would be able to gather a Great Dao secret technique. Therefore, they wanted the jade plate more than Shen Ping.
“The swordfish are too fast. Otherwise, we could have chased after the third wave of swordfish and killed them.”
Previously, killing the swordfish and obtaining the jade plate purely depended on luck.
Immortal Venerable Nanji was relatively unlucky and only obtained three jade plates. Immortal Venerable Yao was lucky and obtained seven. Shen Ping was the same and obtained five. The other Immortal Venerables also obtained four to five each. This efficiency was clearly much faster than the altar.
Immortal Venerable Yu smiled and said, “The rule of the lake should be that after every two waves of swordfish, a jade plate and beast blood’s essence will appear. Let’s hold on until the sixth wave and row towards the place with the most fish.”
The other Immortal Venerables nodded. Judging from the previous swordfish attack, the fish groups were not evenly divided. Some areas were very dense.
The other races quickly understood the rules of the lake world. Just like Immortal Venerable, they were all waiting for the sixth wave of swordfish. Moreover, the race behind was speeding up the raft and sprinting forward, wanting to be closer to the front.
This was especially true for the Spirit Race. Their race had the most Beast Spirit geniuses, so they naturally obtained more jade plates. If they could be at the front, their chances of obtaining the jade plates would be even greater.
However, everyone was suppressed and restrained now. No matter how hard they tried, it was difficult to catch up to the raft in front of them in a short period of time.
The appearance of the fourth wave of swordfish was delayed from ten minutes to twenty minutes. At the fifth wave, the time was delayed again. They endured two waves of swordfish attacks in a row.
Shen Ping and the others finally saw the sixth wave of swordfish. This time, they were prepared. Be it Immortal Venerable Nanji, Immortal Venerable Qi, or the others, when they saw the swordfish pass by the Realm Clan and Stone Clan at the front and rush over, they rowed the raft with all their might towards the dense area of the swordfish.
They could no longer care about the raft being destroyed. They only wanted to obtain more jade plates.
Shen Ping did not follow the Immortal Venerables. He opened the Pupil of Sea Beast to see if he could find the difference between a swordfish that contained a jade plate and a swordfish that did not. Unfortunately, he could not tell. It could only depend on luck.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The Primordial Chaos Spear stabbed out continuously and even slapped the swordfish that had flown out of the lake onto the raft to kill as many swordfish as possible. The other Immortal Venerables did the same.
After the swordfish passed, they quickly killed the swordfish on the raft. This time, the Immortal Venerable Nanji’s luck was not bad. He obtained a total of ten jade plates and smiled brightly..
