Practice begins with a fisherman

What's more, in the previous battles, when faced with such a situation, the tortoise shell on the back is a life-saving thing that has been tried and tested, and it has never been encountered that can be destroyed head-on.

The turtle shell can be said to be the most important treasure for turtles and sea animals. From the beginning of the road of cultivation, with the improvement of cultivation base, it is constantly nourished with spiritual power and gradually improves its quality. Conceived with blood essence, the defensive power of each tortoise shell far exceeds that of spirit weapons of the same level.

This also meant that if one wanted to destroy the shell of a second-tier high-grade black tortoise, at least a third-tier low-grade magic weapon was needed, which Zhao Shoushou obviously couldn't do.

However, from the beginning until now, he has never had the idea of ​​destroying the shell of the turtle. In addition to the frontal attack, the mace also has the effect of beating cattle across mountains.

It was too late to say it, and when the mace fell on the female turtle, the huge male turtle slid beautifully on the water surface and hit him straight. At the same time, the turtle's mouth was almost invisible to the naked eye. The speed bites towards its dantian.

The neck of any turtle seems to be only a short section, but most of it is hidden in the turtle shell. When they are about to fight in close quarters, if they are not prepared in advance, they will also fall into a new crisis.

In addition, this pair of black tortoises can grow up to the current second-level high-grade, which is naturally not easy. Among the lines in the turtle shell, bursts of black light flashed past the eyes, which is a rare spiritual attack. It made him fall into a pause for a moment.

Fortunately, the yellow-throated tortoise's shield had been arranged in advance, and most of the impact force of the male tortoise was successfully removed, and the rest only caused some skin trauma.

However, the bite of the turtle's mouth that followed was obviously too late. Under his full dodge, a fist-sized piece of flesh on his left abdomen disappeared.

"It's really a difficult opponent, but it's worth going all out, breaking the moon shovel, order" While the second spiritual weapon appeared to entangle the male tortoise, the mace that everyone had hoped for had already hit the female tortoise hard. The central part of the turtle shell.

There was no sound from the collision between the two. After being attacked by a huge force, the female turtle quickly spun like a top, and in the process, a series of bigger and bigger circles centered on it. The water streaks continued to dissipate.

It seemed that there was no injury at all, and it didn't even affect the duel between the tortoise and Zhao Shoushou. This situation lasted for a cup of tea, but the feelings between the two parties were completely different.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Shoushou's face, and he became more and more calm in dealing with it. The tortoise was a little out of breath and used various methods frequently. He tried his best, but he was still firmly blocked from taking half a step forward.

As far as the female tortoise's second-level high-level cultivation base is concerned, if she had never been hurt by the blow just now, she would have already exposed her head and attacked from both sides.

Since it hasn't appeared for a long time, it proves that the mace's attack is effective, at least it has suffered heavy injuries, and it will be impossible to continue fighting for a while, and even worse, it is very likely that it has already fallen into it.

Chapter 435 The Great Harvest of Sea Beast Hunting ([-])

After losing the assistance of the female tortoise, there will naturally be no suspense in this battle. After fighting for half an hour, at the cost of an injury to the left arm, accompanied by a wail, the male tortoise fell in the same way. Under the attack of the mace, the only difference is that it persists for a longer time.

Zhao Shoushou's victory in the battle with an absolute advantage also meant the smooth end of the first battle of the Calabash Alliance. With the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, they had no reason to fail.

What's more, in the battle situation, the cultivator and the spirit beast joined forces, and they have already firmly gained the upper hand. All he needs to do is to finish. The whole battle has basically been declared over.

After a fierce fight, the Calabash Alliance’s first operation was full of rewards. A total of 42 second-tier sea beasts were killed, including two second-tier high-grade sea beasts, eight second-tier mid-grade sea beasts, and 32 second-tier low-grade sea beasts. Only.

Casualties were also quite small, except for a foundation-building first-floor monk who temporarily lost his combat effectiveness, only a second-tier low-grade sea fish spirit beast suffered some injuries, but it did not affect the ensuing battle.

Coupled with the tonic of such an empty blood food, after a delicious meal, they will be alive and well. There is also no objection to the distribution of the spoils, that is, whoever kills the sea beast belongs to whose spoils, of course the spirit beasts killed There is no doubt that the sea beast belongs to the master.

Zhao Shoushou got a total of two second-tier high-grade ink turtles, one second-tier middle-grade black fish, and four second-tier low-grade sea beast shells, and the rest of the monks also got their own gains.

"Fellow daoists, please be quiet. Although the sea beasts outside the Gourd Spirit Island have been dispersed and killed, it is not time for us to rest and relax. The remaining seven spirit islands are still surrounded, waiting to be rescued. Hurry up! Clean up the battlefield, continue to fight, don't kill all the sea beasts, and vow not to disband," Zhao Shoushou urged loudly.

"Slay sea beasts, get spirit materials, exchange spirit pills, improve cultivation base, and make a fortune. This is not a tide of sea beasts, it is completely a demon pill sent to your door."

"I am willing to follow the lord and completely disperse the tide of sea beasts"

After a brilliant victory in a battle, the effect is naturally beyond doubt, and the morale of the monks present is quite high.

Especially after sorting out the corpses of sea beasts one by one and storing them in the storage bag, they couldn't wait to go to the next battlefield.

Among them, some first-level foundation-building monks are the main ones. Due to their cultivation base, they usually hunt and kill sea beasts in the inner sea. Fortunately, they need to carefully confirm the trace of a second-level low-grade sea beast.

The number of sea beasts in the inner sea is not much. In some sea areas with high value and frequent sea beasts, there are a large number of monks in the early stage of foundation establishment who keep an eye on them.

From this battle, each monk can get at least one whole sea beast as a trophy, which is obviously a valuable harvest for them.

The more critical point is that they didn't pay much in this battle, it was just a normal battle.

Maybe they will suffer some injuries and encounter some dangers in the process, but these are obviously not enough to stop them.

The process of cultivating a monk is full of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. As long as there is harvest, all sacrifices are valuable.

Even the only monk who temporarily lost his fighting power has already summoned the monk sitting on Lingdao to replace him and continue fighting.

In the next ten days, the main force of the Calabash Alliance has been chasing and hunting the remaining sea beast groups in the Calabash Sea.

Compared with the huge group headed by the second-rank top-grade ink turtle outside Hululing Island, the remaining seven sea beast groups are much smaller in terms of strength and scale.

After being beheaded by the main monks of the gourd alliance headed by Zhao Shoushou, they all fled.

The seven spirit islands that had been cut off by the siege of the seaway were once again connected with the outside world. Of course, it is currently limited to the spirit islands within the Calabash Alliance.

But I have to say that compared to the dead silence before, this is already a big improvement.

Whether it is the inner sea or the outer sea, the sea beasts in the sea area cannot be completely cleared.

After the busy hunting lasted for half a month, and after killing most of the second-order sea beasts, a large number of first-order sea beasts who fled were naturally dominated by many Qi training period monks.

"Hahaha, I never imagined that hunting sea beasts would be so easy. The harvest during this period of time is enough to exchange for some valuable treasures."

"It's still the leader, he is a wise old man. If the leader hadn't been in charge, I'm afraid we would still be helpless on Lingdao."

"It's more than that? With the passage of time, the number and strength of sea beasts will increase. I'm afraid it will not be able to protect the safety of Lingdao. Apart from dying, how can we have such a cool life?"

In the meeting hall of the island owner's mansion of Hululing Island, the remaining seven island owners are talking enthusiastically.

This is already one month after the hunting of sea beasts, according to the regulations of the newly established Gourd Alliance, in order to deal with the counterattack of sea beasts, a monthly meeting of island owners is held.

The main content of the discussion was the development of the tide of sea beasts and the recent counterattack from the cultivation world.

Of course, the most important point should undoubtedly be the situation in the calabash sea area, and whether there is any communication between monks.

The special products of the eight spirit islands in the Calabash Sea Area including Hulu Spirit Island are completely different. When other sea routes are cut off, it is obviously very important to complement each other.

"The lord arrives"

"I'm waiting to meet the lord"

When Zhao Shoushou's figure appeared in the meeting hall, all the discussions disappeared in an instant, and the seven island owners stood up respectfully and willingly to salute.

This is obviously not an easy task in the world of comprehension. Every monk in the foundation period who can become the master of an island is not easy to deal with.

All of this was won by him through a series of previous battles.

"Fellow daoists, you are welcome. We are all monks, so we don't need to care about these ordinary rituals. Is there any new news from the Spirit Island Alliance recently?" Zhao Shoushou is still most concerned about the situation of the entire overseas cultivation world.

No matter how active the monks are in the Gourd Alliance, they are only in a small and remote sea area after all, and they don't have much influence on the general situation.

"I would like to report to the owner of the island, after the siege in recent days, the sea beasts in the calabash sea area have basically been killed. At present, the guards of various spirit islands are conducting inspections in different time periods and regions." The first person to report is the calabash island Deputy island owner Zhao Baihua.

Although his cultivation was slightly inferior, he proved his strength in the battle.

Currently, as the deputy island owner of Hululing Island, he presides over the killing of sea beasts in the sea area.

Judging from the recent performance, it is obviously quite qualified. The calabash sea area has basically returned to normal, and monks in the Qi training period can pass. This is already a pretty good result amidst the tide of sea beasts.

Chapter 436 Trading and Taking the initiative

"Although the sea beasts in the sea area have been preliminarily cleared, they should not be careless. The sea beasts' counterattack may appear at any time. After all, this is just the beginning of the sea beast tide." After Zhao Shoushou warned, his eyes turned to the first monk on the left.

The realm of comprehension respects strength, and being able to sit in the first seat at the bottom is a symbol of strength. This monk is the owner of Huayu Island, another second-level middle-grade spirit island in the Calabash Sea, and a sixth-level monk in the foundation building.

The comprehensive conditions on Huayu Lingdao are actually far better than those on Calabash Lingdao. The most important thing is to have a third-order low-grade Hongmeng Lingdao that can lead to the Hongmeng Gate [-] nautical miles away.

Hongmengmen has three Jindan stage ancestors sitting in the town, their strength is extraordinary, and it can be regarded as a third-order low-grade spirit island closest to the calabash sea area.

During the sea beast tide, the outer sea lanes were cut off under the occupation of a large number of sea beasts, and the only means of passage were teleportation arrays.

Since Huayu Lingdao has such convenient conditions, and the owner of the island, Hua Tianyu, is also a sixth-level foundation-building monk, he is naturally the best person to inquire about the news.

"Leader, in the past month, I have gone to Hongmeng Gate twice to inquire about news, but because the sea channel has not yet been opened, the news here is also very blocked. At present, I only know that this tide of sea beasts should be unusual. Lingdao has also been attacked by sea beasts." When he said this, Hua Tianyu couldn't help showing a sad expression on his face.

The Spirit Island Alliance is located in the core area of ​​the entire inland sea. Although there will be some attacks in every wave of sea beasts, but in the previous records, there are very few that started so early.

Every time they are attacked so early, it also means that the scale of the sea beast tide will be quite powerful, which will be a devastating blow to the spirit islands, large and small, entrenched in the open sea.

"The current news is still uncertain, and it has not been notified by the Spirit Island Alliance. Its authenticity is not enough to worry about. The only thing we need to do is to improve our strength and the defense of Spirit Island at all costs. Don't be reluctant to save The spirit stone in the bag," Zhao Shoushou exhorted seriously after heaving a sigh of relief.

The monthly island owner meeting of the Calabash Alliance came to an end after an hour of discussion, and the next session was the most important transaction stage for every monk.

The eight island owners do not represent everyone, and the main resources for this exchange are not applicable to the exchange of treasures in the foundation building period, but the large-scale trading of low-level resources in the gas refining period.

From this point of view, Hulu Lingdao, dominated by Zhao Shoushou, has a big advantage. In the past twenty years, the foundations of panacea, talismans, refining tools, formations, wine making, etc. have been developed little by little. Behavior can be described as earning a lot of money.

Before the sea road was cut off, there were many choices for the seven spirit islands, and the basic resources of the gourd spirit island could only be sold in the market. The basic cheap route.

The monks, including Zhao Shoushou, never thought that one day, these basic resources would become like sweet pastries due to the indifferent appearance of the sea beast tide, and become treasures that the seven spirit islands would rush to buy.

This change obviously has a great effect on promoting the progress of skills. Some monks who are relatively backward have also made sufficient progress under the training of sufficient raw materials and the encouragement of spirit stones.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou would not participate in such a large-scale transaction. His main focus was still on the treasures that the monks were preparing to trade in the early stage.

Under the pressure of the tide of sea beasts, the treasures that were originally stored at the bottom of the storage bag and used to press the bottom of the box are also emerging one after another at the current stage, and some of them are even very attractive to Zhao Shoushou.

"Five days ago, when I went to Hongmengmen to inquire about the news, it happened to be a small-scale auction, and I got a second-level middle-grade spiritual weapon, and I wanted to exchange it for some spiritual pills that can help improve my cultivation," Hua Tianyu said. He has been observing Zhao Shoushou's reaction.

However, he is destined to be disappointed. A regular second-tier middle-grade attack spirit weapon is destined to be difficult to attract his attention. Even with his support, Zhao Baihua already has a second-tier middle-grade spirit weapon of good quality in his hands. device.

Of course, Zhao Shoushou's ignorance does not mean that this spiritual weapon is worthless. On the contrary, with the outbreak of sea beasts, the value of spiritual weapons has been continuously increasing.

Other monks bid to compete one after another, but unfortunately the elixir provided was of relatively low grade, which did not help Hua Tianyu on the sixth floor of the foundation. This deal ended in failure. Time can also be used as a spare treasure.

The auction proceeded quite quickly, and the items that appeared today were all common goods. Zhao Shoushou did not fight for them. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to successfully sell the few second-tier low-grade spirit weapons that had accumulated in his hands at a good price in exchange for Some spirit stones.

At present, Hulu Lingdao is actively collecting spirit stones. After all, as the scale of the sea beast tide continues to increase, there will be a situation where sea beasts will come ashore to attack one day.

When the defensive array is opened, the consumption of spirit stones will be like water, and this kind of battle will definitely last for a long time.

As the main energy provider of the formation, spirit stones of course need to be prepared in advance. On this point, Zhao Shoushou, as a monk from a casual cultivator background, obviously cannot compare with the other spirit islands.

In the evening, the seven island owners left one after another, and Zhao Shoushou in the retreat room began to think. Although there were a lot of gains in the previous battles, there were very few who could assist in the improvement of cultivation.

Among them, the most valuable ones are two ink turtle demon pills and two complete turtle shells. Judging from the current situation, it is necessary to go to some powerful spiritual islands before they can be traded for some second-order top-grade spirit pills.

In the process of breaking through the eighth floor of the foundation building, almost all the accumulating spirit pills accumulated have been consumed. After getting used to quickly improving the cultivation level with the help of the spirit pills, currently relying solely on retreat, which is like a turtle crawling Moving forward was a little difficult to get used to.

What's more, the tide of sea beasts is also forcing it to quickly improve its strength, otherwise, how can it survive and gain enough benefits?

Of course, leaving Hululing Island at this time and going to the outside world is naturally a very dangerous thing. If he stays safely on Hululing Island, the danger will not let him go.

His choice was just to advance the process for a period of time and take the initiative in his own hands. Presumably, at this time, many aspiring monks would make the same choice.

The only difference from the previous trips may be the shortening of the time. For the safety of Lingdao and Hulu sea area, it may take half a year or at least three to five months to return.

Chapter 437 Wandering in front of Hongmeng Lingdao

The purpose of this trip is twofold: first, to sell all the sea beast spiritual materials accumulated in the hands of some time ago, in exchange for some spiritual pills that can assist in improving cultivation. Under the circumstances, it is not an easy task.

Second, take the opportunity to search for traces of some special sea beasts. For Zhao Shoushou, the only criterion is whether the condensed golden core can provide a certain degree of assistance or traces of some natural treasures in the future.

In fact, with the appearance of every sea beast tide, it seems that a large number of treasures of heaven and earth that have been silent for a long time will also follow, and treasures that have not appeared in the overseas cultivation world for a long time will also appear frequently.

Whenever some weak monks are busy defending against the sea beast tide at this time, the powerful sect will definitely take the opportunity to send some monks to search for it. It is with the help of these treasures that the cultivation base will be greatly improved. A group of ancestors of the Jindan stage or higher in the Nascent Soul stage appeared in a concentrated manner.

"Island owner, really don't think about it? Although the sea beasts in the calabash sea area have been initially eliminated, they are still the world above the sea. They are numerous and powerful. It is really not the best time to go out." Zhao Baihua tried hard to persuade , there is obviously a little doubt about his decision.

"Even if it's really going out, the island owner can go to Huayuling Island and take the teleportation array to leave. Why risk breaking into the sea beast's lair?" Fu Yuehua also had an expression of disbelief.

The ability of these two monks is not weak, and their vision is considered long-term. Otherwise, it would not be possible to run the Hulu Lingdao in an orderly manner over the years. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of cultivation and qualifications, there are natural defects in some aspects.

For example, now they only see the danger among the sea beasts, but they have never thought that there are also opportunities in the danger. As long as they can guarantee their own safety, they will definitely not return in vain.

As for taking the teleportation array to go to Hongmeng Lingdao, it is even more nonsense, how can relying on the teleportation array to search for opportunities that belong to him?What's more, the current spiritual islands are in the stage of cutting off all external contact at any time. If they happen to happen, how will they leave?

The Hongmeng Sect has three ancestors of the Golden Core Stage, and a mere late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator has no room to resist. Isn't this equivalent to throwing oneself into a trap?

Although a similar strategy may cause dissatisfaction among some monks, the reason for everything is to deal with the tide of sea beasts. This kind of natural disaster and beast disaster will not cause too many waves.

In fact, their main purpose is to strengthen the island's power with casual training to deal with the attack of the sea beast tide, extract part of the real elite power to leave the spirit island, and go to the deep sea to search for some treasures.

Zhao Shoushou's purpose is to find opportunities to enhance his own strength, not to act as cannon fodder for some sects, otherwise wouldn't it be good to practice in retreat on Hululing Island honestly?

"The two fellow daoists don't need to continue persuading, at least half a year, at least three or two months, someone Zhao will definitely return, the only mission of the two is to defend the spirit island, if there are powerful sea beasts appearing, they can activate the communication talisman in their hands, I will return within five days," Zhao Shoushou resolutely refused.

A quarter of an hour later, after explaining some precautions, Zhao Shoushou disappeared above the sea under the cover of a small spirit boat.

This spirit ship was obtained through a previous transaction. It has only two functions. First, it can hide the monk's aura to the greatest extent. Its effect exceeds many common spells. Second, it can help the monk escape if he is chased by a powerful sea beast. , It is faster to perform all-out efforts than the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment.

In normal seasons, this small spirit ship, which is not good at attacking and defending and can only accommodate one person, is simply a tasteless existence.

However, today, when the tide of sea beasts broke out, it was Xianyu who turned around, doubled his value, and became a treasure that all the monks were vying to snatch. Zhao Shoushou only succeeded in the transaction after paying a considerable price.

Under the strangulation of the Gourd Alliance headed by Zhao Shoushou, the sea beasts in the entire sea area were basically wiped out. Before a new round of beast tide appeared, as long as the monks in the refining period were careful, they could guarantee their own safety, not to mention patrolling The team is constantly looking for possible sea beasts.

To be able to reach this level, in addition to one's own efforts, the Gourd Sea Territory is located in a remote corner, and various resources are relatively scarce, and spiritual power is poor.

Take Hongmeng Lingdao as an example, with three Jindan stage monks sitting in the town, isn't it strong?It's a pity that because of its strategic location, abundant spiritual power, and abundant resources, it is extremely attractive to sea beasts.
