Chen Zui only caught the last half of the sentence. "How do we wear it down?"
The three discussed it some more, but discussion alone yielded no constructive progress. In the end, they decided to first hunt some schools of fish near the sea, drain their blood, and scatter it around the formation. They also deliberately smeared cultivators' spiritual aura over some of the fish. Unfortunately, the fish schools could not break through the formation either. Still, the nearby waters did indeed turn blood-red, while lifeless objects seemed able to pass through the formation's barrier.
Sea Beasts were exceptionally sensitive to the scent of blood. Before long, the roars of the Sea Beasts drew near.
"They came that quickly?!" They had thought it would be difficult to lure them over, yet such a small temptation had hooked them at once. Could it be that this group of Sea Beasts had been waiting here to catch rabbits by a tree stump?
"Move faster. Scatter bait throughout every boundary area around us that we can reach."
At top speed, the three fed the formation its "nourishment," then flew to the prow and quietly listened for the Sea Beasts. Sea Beasts moved astonishingly fast in the water. Before long, thunderous roars rang right beside them.
Bian Chunchou even believed that without the formation shielding them, that sound alone might already have shaken blood from his ears and nose. By conservative estimate, this Sea Beast was absolutely at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
No wonder the underwater formation covered such a vast area. It knew the Sea Beasts outside were exceedingly difficult to handle. Even if ordinary cultivators could get out, they would likely face nine deaths and one life. No wonder Second Father had said they were not to go to sea unless
