Practice begins with a fisherman

"It's not a waste of a long-planned sharp blow. I don't know how long I can last after losing my limbs?" With the expected results, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

Whether it is a monk or a sea beast, in the process of practice, it is only a process of continuous strengthening of the body. Before the Nascent Soul is condensed, the body is a very important existence.

Once there is a loss, the impact on one's own combat power is unparalleled, and the most important thing is the limbs. When the spirit gourd cuts off the limbs of the yellow-throated aquatic turtle, it can basically be declared a failure, and the remaining tasks are nothing but It's just cleaning the battlefield.

Of course, in this process, we must be alert to the counterattack before the frequent deaths of sea beasts. After all, this is a genuine second-level high-grade sea beast, and its vitality is quite tenacious.

About a quarter of an hour later, a golden back shell covered with strange patterns appeared in front of him, and there was also a jade bottle containing more than ten drops of blood essence.

Naturally, the remaining flesh and blood of the yellow-throated terrapin will not be wasted, and the two cormorants who are feasting are the biggest beneficiaries.

"Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was a little defensive. These turtle-like sea beasts are really good at playing dead, but with these trophies in hand, after this trip is over, find an experienced craftsman and use turtle shells as the main material to refine them. There must be no problem in making a high-quality defensive spiritual weapon." When he thought of this, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

The number of second-order high-grade spiritual artifacts in the cultivation world is not high, and it is even more difficult to find a suitable one. Isn't Zhao Shoushou's previous search in Hululingdaofang City the most powerful proof?

Among them, defensive spirit weapons are even rarer, and even if one occasionally appears, it is extremely expensive. How can one not be a little excited to get a high-quality turtle shell in this battle?

It has been effectively proved in the previous 160 years of practice that a high-quality defensive spiritual weapon can be used to save life at a critical moment. Isn't the tortoise shell the most authentic spiritual material?

On the other hand, if you encounter some unavoidable risks during the next trip to the deep-sea Grand Canyon, even if it has not been refined, it can be used as a defense in a short period of time.

"Although the seventh floor of Foundation Establishment is also in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it is only a newcomer to the late stage of Foundation Establishment after all. There must be a gap with some established late-stage Foundation Establishment monks. You must be careful when you travel to the Deep Sea Grand Canyon." Zhao Shoushou obtained this through this battle Lessons.

No matter how you look at it, the yellow-throated terrapin is a relatively weak existence in the same class. It was so difficult to win this battle, and now I have a clearer understanding of the next journey.

Of course, these factors can only give him some vigilance. Now that he has arrived here, there is naturally no reason to continue to retreat.

Instead, Zhao Shoushou set out on the journey again after urging him to move on from another direction, and after shooting with his spiritual consciousness to confirm that there were no omissions.

If he had enough time, Zhao Shoushou would definitely search carefully within a radius of a hundred miles. Since the yellow-throated aquatic turtle occupies this place as a habitat, there must be some elixir here.

The lesser of two evils, the more important of two benefits, the comparison of the two is naturally better in the test of the expedition team, and even the two are not on the same level at all, and there is not much comparison.

After everything was tidied up, the first day was already approaching ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhao Shoushou had to arrive at the agreed meeting point as soon as possible in the shortest possible time.

In case some sea beasts continue to block the way, who can guarantee a smooth passage?When there is not much time left, there must be no waste.

Under Zhao Shoushou's control, the spirit ship quickly disappeared into the distant sea, and the sea area gradually returned to calm. As time passed, some low-level sea beasts attracted by the smell of blood were vying for the remaining some flesh and blood.

For low-level sea beasts, the blood food from high-grade sea beasts is the best treasure to improve their strength without any future troubles. This is also the reason why the cultivation base of the two cormorants can continue to improve along the way.

I never thought that the next trip would be smooth. Except for a second-grade low-grade moray eel, there were no sea beasts blocking the way, and I arrived at the agreed place on time at noon the next day.

After a day of recuperation, some injuries on his body were basically healed, except for some very few traces, no traces of battle were found.

Just like before, the two guides were still the last to appear. Unfortunately, only five of the original six monks were left at this time, and the other one did not know whether he had withdrawn or did not arrive on time.

However, this obviously will not be a reason for stagnation of follow-up actions. No matter whether it is the leader or the monks who have gone through a hard fight, the monks who arrive will not wait. It seems that this monk has never appeared before. This is the bloody reality of the cultivation world. .

"Congratulations to the five fellow daoists who successfully completed the first test. It seems that you have encountered a little danger along the way, but these are just pediatrics." The bearded monk said with a smile, completely watching the excitement, It makes people feel very annoyed.

It's a pity that after all, the strength is limited, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Facing a little bit of sarcasm, they can only forcefully suppress their inner dissatisfaction.

"The remaining fellow Taoist is obviously late. According to the regulations of the expedition team, he is not eligible to participate in the next task. The next test will officially begin. Your task is only to pick ten A second-grade high-grade elixir or ten second-grade high-grade sea beast demon pills," the numb monk said calmly as usual.

There is no requirement for the type of spirit grass or demon pill, and it seems that they are not worried about the monks present, choosing some relatively weak sea beasts to hunt and kill.

"Remind everyone, in addition to preventing sea beasts, you must also be careful of any monks other than yourself. There are also some who have the idea of ​​taking advantage of it." When he said this, there was a hint of gloom in his tone.

"The expedition team will only be responsible for the monks who have completed the task. As for the specific method, there are no rules, understand?" the bearded monk also teased unwillingly.

Chapter 404 Boundless Canyon

"In addition, it needs to be emphasized that whether it is spiritual grass, demon pills or other treasures, it is just a form of testing. All harvests belong to fellow Taoists, and the expedition team will not take any money from them." In the end, he emphasized it quite meaningfully.

In fact, the only rule for this test is ten elixir or demon pills, and there are no other requirements, it is completely free-range.

From the tone of the two guides, they are still constantly provoking the non-existent trust of the five monks, as if they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Fellow daoists, do you still have any objections? If you don't give me a free suggestion, many types of elixir in the deep sea canyon are obviously helpful for improving the cultivation base in the later stage of foundation establishment. It is not impossible for the golden core to help the elixir, good luck everyone." The bearded monk was as unrestrained as ever.

Seemingly stupid and clumsy, every sentence can hit the vital point of the monks present. As soon as the words fell, the originally depressed mood of the five monks present had some obvious improvement in an instant.

Being able to advance to the late stage of Foundation Establishment step by step, the monks present are obviously not afraid of danger, they just simply don't like meaningless adventures.

Now that I have received definite news that there may be a panacea that can help improve my cultivation, all adventures are valuable, so naturally I will not continue to pursue it.

As for the dangers in the deep sea canyon and possible snatches among monks, these are unavoidable, and they are also the most encountered on the road of practice.

"It seems that fellow daoists can't wait any longer. Don't forget the ten-day agreement besides the quantity of ten spirit grasses and ten demon pills. Expedition teams are always out of date. Fellow daoists can start now." After emphasizing ten days, with the permission of the two guides, this entry test is just beginning.

The five monks didn't know each other before, and the only idea left in their hearts was to cooperate with each other, but under the explicit or covert instigation of the two leaders, they only remained on guard against each other, and the idea of ​​joining forces was completely wiped out .

For most monks to venture in such a strange and dangerous place, if there is no absolute trust, sometimes their companions are more dangerous than sea beasts hiding in the dark.

Because the monks are afraid of each other, they can't even give full play in the battle, and the impact on the monk's combat effectiveness is unparalleled.

Things have come to this point, Zhao Shoushou will naturally not seek to join forces, not to mention that for many years, apart from the two cormorants, most of the time he has been alone against the enemy and dealt with various complicated situations, but now he seems to be more free .

After dodging into the deep-sea Grand Canyon, he chose a direction that was completely different from the other four monks. Subconsciously, he was also fully vigilant, and at the same time, he forcibly engraved the way forward and the terrain in his mind.

The entrance they are at now is just a raised sea reef away from the Deep Sea Grand Canyon, and entering the sea from here is only the outermost edge of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon in the traditional sense.

The most surprising point is that the periphery and the core area form two extremes. The periphery of the deep-sea Grand Canyon is basically white sand. Except for some ordinary sea fish that occasionally swim by, there is no sea beast. .

The appearance of the core area is completely opposite to this place. It is almost formed by the beauty of Zhong Tiandi, the magic of good fortune, and the collection of all the essences.

Almost everywhere is within the scope of spiritual veins, and there are different sea beasts distributed in every sea area, and there are also a large number of various spiritual herbs. How can people not be amazed by the sharp contrast between the two places so close to each other?

The distance from the periphery of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon to the core area is not that short. Even if you go forward with all your strength, it still takes more than half an hour.

"One step is far away, there is a huge difference. Outside, spiritual power is scarce and resources are scarce, but one step into it is a completely different world. It makes people feel like they are in two worlds." Fang Yi enters the real deep sea canyon, Although she had already prepared herself to a certain extent, An still couldn't hold back the wonder in her heart.

Of course, from here on, it really belongs to the world of all kinds of sea beasts. In the seemingly calm sea area, at this moment, there must be a lot of spiritual consciousness secretly observing.

This place is called the Deep Sea Grand Canyon, but it is actually a complete underwater world, with undulating terrain, dense underwater forests, various unique life and so on.

It was precisely because of this special existence that it made him hesitate for a while, the beating on his forehead never stopped, constantly warning of the danger.

In normal days, according to his personality, he would definitely choose to bypass or leave at the first moment, but today he has no choice but to enter it.

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains. If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you really become a member of the expedition team?" Zhao Shoushou muttered to himself, encouraging the courage to move on.

After a cup of tea, he saw his swimming figure and decided to go deeper into the Grand Canyon. His first goal was a protruding mountain not far away.

Looking from afar, this place is full of spiritual power. Although it looks empty, there are bursts of strange fragrance coming from it. It must be the lair of a sea beast.

According to the requirements of the two guides, pick ten second-level high-grade elixir or demon pills within ten days, but there is no restriction on the specific strength and type of sea beasts. exist.

The first battle after entering the Deep Sea Grand Canyon needs to be chosen carefully. On the one hand, it is necessary to have a preliminary understanding of the sea beasts here. Elixir.

In addition, compared to the gloomy undersea forest not far away, the number of sea beasts on the small mountain peaks is obviously not too many.

Solitary sea beasts are obviously easier to deal with than group sea beasts. He doesn't want to fall into a sea beast's lair and besieged for no reason.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no shortcomings in it. If a battle occurs in such a conspicuous location, if it cannot be ended as soon as possible, once the delay is too long, once some sea beasts are attracted, some unexpected situations will easily occur. .

Obviously, there is no perfect plan in the world, and we can only choose some of the most beneficial plans from among them. What is in front of us is undoubtedly heading towards the mountain.

As long as Zhao Shoushou can hunt and kill the sea beasts in a short period of time, not only can all plans be achieved, but also the high point of the mountain can be used to observe the terrain in the distance, which can also provide powerful help for the following actions.

"Since the nest is built at the outermost edge of the core area, the strength of the sea beast is not too strong. I hope that Zhao will have good luck and get off to a good start."

Chapter 405 Battle against the Mysterious Sea Beast

When Zhao Shoushou approached the protruding mountain step by step, looking for traces of the sea beasts and elixir occupying this place along the strange scent, in a cave on the back side, the nose of a huge monster kept shaking.

It seems to smell some fresh smells, big eyes like copper bells, more than two-thirds of them are black eyeballs, and Gululu moves very flexibly.

After about half a cup of tea, this huge monster who couldn't see the specific face should have a correct judgment on the identity of the visitor, and showed a special expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

At a distance of about ten feet behind the sea beast, a small blood-red tree with a height of ten feet is thriving, and it is also the source of this continuous stream of strange fragrance.

Let's not talk about the sea beast's reaction, along the direction of the fragrance transmission, his forward speed is not slow, but as the distance keeps getting closer, the beating frequency on both sides of the forehead is getting higher and higher.

"As expected of the famous deep-sea Grand Canyon, the strength of a sea beast living on the outskirts has far surpassed that of the yellow-throated quasi-water turtle, which is also a second-tier high-grade turtle," Zhao Shoushou couldn't help but sigh.

For ordinary people in the mundane world, the sixth sense may be an illusory existence, but with the continuous improvement of monks' cultivation, this special ability has been continuously developed and strengthened.

Especially after being promoted to Foundation Establishment, one will get a comprehensive comprehensive development, and the warning of danger will be significantly improved.

It is precisely because of the emphasis on the sixth sense that Zhao Shoushou has successfully avoided many dangers by relying on it, but today in order to complete the mission of the expedition team, he can only move forward and not retreat.

After a cup of tea, he had already walked to the top of the raised mountain step by step, and after a stick of incense, he appeared at the entrance of a bottomless cave.

"I don't know how to lure the sea beast out of the cave. If it's not a last resort, it's better not to enter it." Looking at the dark cave in front of him, Zhao Shoushou suddenly felt a headache.

There is an iron rule in the world of self-cultivation "No entry into forests, no caves", especially when you are in a dangerous place and you don't have enough understanding of the sea beasts hidden in it.

There are two reasons: First, whether it is a forest or a cave, the terrain is relatively complex. Once it falls into the calculations of some caring people or sea beasts, not only will it be impossible to suppress the opponent, but the monks may not be able to exert their own combat power. .

Second, under normal circumstances, the sea beasts that use these places as their nests are stronger at the same level, and it is more difficult to deal with them.

Originally according to Zhao Shoushou's prediction, the sea beast should appear on the top or side of the mountain, but the current situation is obviously unexpected.

"The breath of the sea beast has been locked, there is no way to retreat, we can only fight." Zhao Shoushou said helplessly. When he appeared at the entrance of the cave, he could already clearly feel a faint breath entangled. .

This special aura is used by monsters to determine their targets. Unless it is killed, it will last for two days. Once a monk carries this aura, it is as conspicuous as a bright light in the dark night.

No matter where they go, they will attract the attention of the sea beasts. It is impossible to use the restraining art here to hide their breath and body shape. Today's battle can only be fought and must be fought.

At this point, Zhao Shoushou's only choice was to fight, and now his only goal was to attract the sea beasts out of the cave, so as to increase his chances of winning as much as possible.

"I don't know if this 500-year-old demon-attracting grass can be effective against mysterious sea beasts?" After groping around in the storage bag for a while, a special spiritual grass that uses mana to seal multiple times appeared in front of my eyes.

It is the treasure at the bottom of the box that was used to lure sea beasts when wandering in the open sea. Of course, this is the only one left, and it is not easy to snatch food from sea beasts.

"Roar" Facts have proved that all thinking is ineffective. The seal of the lure grass has not yet been opened. With a roar, the mysterious sea beast living in the cave can't wait to appear.

Looking from a distance, the sea beast finally revealed its full appearance. It looked like a unicorn, with a dragon's mouth, lion's head, fish scales, oxtail, tiger's claws, and antlers.

"You can control it to go to the world and the sea, and you can reach everything. Is it a beast with golden eyes? The mount of the legendary Great Bull Demon King?" Zhao Shoushou couldn't believe it when he saw the true face of the sea beast on the opposite side.

The Vigorous Bull Demon King is the legendary head of the seven saints of the demon clan, with boundless magic power, and the strength of his mount, the water-dispelling golden-eyed beast, is also not to be underestimated, at least equivalent to a fairy, so how could it appear in such a place?

"Hoho..." Zhao Shoushou was stunned for a moment, and the sea beast on the opposite side roared again, as if expressing his dissatisfaction due to the contempt.

At the same time, its attack came quite quickly, and a burst of crimson flames spewed out from its huge mouth. The moment it encountered sea water, not only did it not go out, but it showed a situation where water was helping the fire to become more vigorous. Burning around him, there is quite a momentum of burning mountains and boiling seas.

This huge and seemingly clumsy but sensitive sea beast flew into the sea of ​​flames and disappeared without a trace. It seemed that it was stealthily accumulating strength and preparing for a stronger attack.

However, after the unknown sea beast entered the sea of ​​flames, it became more and more vigorous, and the temperature of the entire surrounding sea area continued to rise.

In fact, compared to a frontal battle, this sneak attack with a hidden figure also has a lot of deterrent power. Zhao Shoushou needs to reserve at least half of his energy to deal with possible attacks at any time.

"It's just a test at the beginning of the battle. The strength shown has far surpassed that of the yellow-throated water turtle." Zhao Shoushou murmured, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

It's no wonder that a large number of ordinary sea beasts can only occupy patches of sea areas and spiritual islands in the open sea. It's not that they don't want to come, but that they don't have the qualifications to come because of their lack of strength.

Just this sea beast occupying the outermost periphery in front of me is already enough to discourage most sea beasts. In the world of sea beasts, the only thing they believe in is strength.

When a large, scorching sea of ​​flames extended, Zhao Shoushou waved his hand casually, and a wall of spiritual water composed of one-element heavy water appeared before him.

These unknown flames that can burn sea water can only stop before the same level of spiritual water. Zhao Shoushou's gaze is not here, and his spiritual consciousness is watching every move around him. Whenever there is a slight disturbance, he must go all out.

Everything in front of me is nothing more than pediatrics. Only by beheading the sea beast's body can everything here be stable, otherwise it's just an act of caring about the head and ignoring the back.

And this is the territory of sea beasts, every plant, tree, stone, and soil are quite familiar, maybe they are currently preparing to attack in a certain corner.

Chapter 406

Facts proved that his prediction was correct. After seeing the unfavorable sea of ​​fire and being unable to advance and make achievements, the sea beast obviously couldn't calm down and continue to hide aside.

Even though he had been quite cautious along the way, Zhao Shoushou, who had never relaxed a bit, accurately sensed the changes in the water flow.

However, he didn't point it out. Instead, he continued to deal with the sea of ​​flames in front of him wholeheartedly, but he was secretly preparing and accumulating the strength to fight back.

It was never easy to attack or counter-attack. The sea beast wanted to attack secretly, but it didn't know that Zhao Shoushou was planning to use the same method, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to injure him in one fell swoop and gain the initiative in the battle.

Whether the sea beast can achieve its goal or the monk's counterattack can gain the upper hand, it depends on whose planning and strength are better.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Even if your strength is slightly inferior, you still have the confidence to win." This is Zhao Shoushou's feeling and determination for the current battle.

As time goes by, the distance between the two sides is getting closer, and the first head-to-head confrontation is about to break out. It remains to be seen who will take the upper hand.

The importance of taking the lead in a battle is unquestionable, and to a certain extent, it can even determine the outcome of a battle, unless it can be turned against the wind in the later stage of the battle, and the difficulty of it is conceivable.

In fact, he has some guesses about the attack methods of sea beasts. The strongest methods of monks are mainly spiritual weapons and spiritual arts. The final trump card of sea beasts is always related to the tyrannical body.

This sea beast, which only appeared at the beginning, should not deviate from this normal range, as the saying goes.

"Water is going to put out the fire, it's a good time, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zhao Shoushou yelled, and the wall of water that was entangled with each other collapsed instantly, and a large amount of unary heavy water disappeared almost at the same time as the sea of ​​fire.
