Practice begins with a fisherman

"Fellow Daoists of the Hua family, don't panic. Mr. Zhao and the reinforcements from the Gourd Lingdao depend on the rescue." Just as they were struggling, Zhao Shoushou's appearance was like timely rain.

Chapter 451 The Miserable Cultivator Under the Sea Beast Tide

Huayu Lingdao is the only second-tier middle-grade Lingdao in the Hulu sea area except Hululing Island. With the years of hard work and development of the Hua family, it is quite attractive to sea beasts.

There were three second-tier middle-grade sea beasts that appeared in front of Zhao Shoushou's eyes immediately, the leader of which was a highly poisonous jellyfish.

This is a very rare special sea beast. It only has a thin layer on the surface. Under the sunlight, it is almost transparent. There are some dotted spots in the middle of the body. There is a unique sense of beauty.

Even though it is on land, it still floats in the air, and its attack method is also very peculiar. The left and right sides are like two big ears flashing up and down quite regularly.

Every flutter is accompanied by some ups and downs that are visible to the naked eye. It is these seemingly harmless little things that make the monks of Huayu Lingdao suffer a lot.

Not to mention that the monks in the Qi refining period are hard to resist, even if the monks in the foundation building period have some contact, at least the skin will be bruised and the blood will boil. This is a very corrosive poison.

Jellyfish can be said to be a kind of sea beast with two heavens. Before embarking on the road of spiritual cultivation, it can be regarded as the weakest existence in the ocean world. Any kind of sea beast can tear it to pieces.

On the contrary, once you successfully comprehend the path of practice, you will start to embark on the path of counterattack. Relying on a unique and highly poisonous body, you will be almost invincible among the same level.

If it weren't for this existence that only seemed to be a thin piece of paper, with Hua Tianyu's strength in building the sixth floor, he would not be so embarrassing even if he lost.

Although the quality of the jellyfish is only the second-level middle-grade, Zhao Shoushou couldn't help scratching his head when he saw it. This thing is like a hedgehog, it's not easy to deal with and there are almost no loot.

All its essences are condensed in large and small star shapes on its body. Once it loses in battle, all the essences will dissipate immediately. The only one that appears in front of the monks does not have any great effect jellyfish skin.

"The lord led the monks to come to the rescue, we just need to stick to it"

"The lord led the monks to come to the rescue, we just need to stick to it"

The three foundation-establishment monks of the Hua family who were considering evacuation suddenly shouted loudly and fought back bravely, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The Qi-refining period monks who had little mana left in their dantians seemed to be inexplicably encouraged, their sluggish magic tools became flexible again, and the talismans carefully preserved in the storage bags to break out of the siege were also sacrificed one after another.

The battle seemed lively and fierce, but in fact there was only one real key point. As long as the three second-tier middle-grade sea beasts were defeated and hunted, all troubles would naturally dissipate, and there would be no problems at all.

As the most powerful existence among the monks present, Zhao Shoushou assumed the position and throne of the leader of the Calabash Alliance. The most difficult jellyfish was undoubtedly his first opponent.

Facing the jellyfish, he only felt a little troublesome, and there was no problem in beheading it, there was no doubt about it.

Moreover, Zhao Shoushou has always believed that if you don't make a move, it's enough. If you make a move, it must be a thunderbolt method. The heavy mace pierced through the air, swept across, and hit the jellyfish that was floating leisurely in the air and breathing out poisonous gas.

The moon-breaking shovel and the water-dividing fork were divided into two groups to attack two different types of second-tier low-grade sea beasts. From this point, we can also see the difference between the battle of Huayu Lingdao and the previous Hululing Island.

Under the crushing of absolute strength, there has never been a second-order high-grade sea beast that can compete with him. Everything is under his control, just like a simple killing game.

"Hey, it's interesting, the small-scale teleportation is so flexible and fast? You need to be a little more serious." Facing the attack of the mace and easily dodging away, Zhao Shoushou was quite surprised, as if he was really serious at this time look the same.

Once a monk is serious, it is naturally a weaker jellyfish who will be unlucky. Although he successfully escaped the first attack of the mace, how could Zhao Shoushou's method be so easy?

More than a dozen sharp thorns came out of the body to attack first, and the mace, which had lost its target, flipped flexibly in the void, followed by it, and surrounded it menacingly from several different directions.

In addition, Zhao Shoushou made a rather complicated gesture with his hands very nimbly. Along with the surging sea surface, walls of crystal clear water appeared around the jellyfish, completely restricting its range of activities within a certain range. Inside.

These water walls seem ordinary, but upon closer inspection, they contain a special charm. On each water wall, at fixed distances, there are vivid patterns of dragons.

These dragon patterns are not motionless, they seem to be rotating with the rotation of the water wall, sucking water spirit energy and feeding it back into the water wall to increase its defense.

This spirit technique is called the Flood Wall Spirit Technique, and it is a solid second-tier top-grade defensive spirit technique. Zhao Shoushou only comprehended it after he was promoted to the eighth floor of Foundation Establishment. So far, he is not too proficient in performing it, and he needs to rely on his hands. cooperation.

Of course, its effect is unquestionable. Although the dragon inside is condensed from the essence of water attributes, its power cannot be underestimated, and it has a great effect on the defensive power of the water wall.

If in the future, one or two second-tier top-grade snake-like sea beasts with good strength and talent can be refined into it, so that they can have some real assistance, the power of spiritual spells can still be greatly improved.

According to the records in "Congealing Water Jue", this is a spiritual art with unlimited potential for future development. If it can kill a real dragon's soul and integrate into it in the future, it will be no less than a precious art.

However, even with the cultivation level of the flood wall spirit technique, it is enough to deal with the second-level middle-grade jellyfish in front of him. No matter how hard he struggles, he can't escape the scope of the spirit technique.

Soon under the pursuit of the mace, the jellyfish, which has no way to enter the ground, falls on the ground and becomes a piece of useless jellyfish.

An hour later, under the rescue of Zhao Shoushou, Huayu Lingdao repelled the attack of the second wave of sea beasts. After selecting some monks who were still in good condition, Zhao Shoushou embarked on the road of rescue again.

The seven spirit islands took a total of six days. Apart from fighting sea beasts, the most important thing was to clean up the mess. Even though they had gone all out, two of the eight spirit islands in the Calabash Sea area still fell. Except for the lucky ones who saved their lives, most of the monks have become the delicious food of sea beasts.

What appeared in front of Zhao Shoushou and other monks was nothing but the stench of blood and the piles of bones that had been eaten clean. How weak did the monks look at this time?It is quite different from the image of a supernatural power and a land god in the past, but this time it is not as good as a mortal.

Chapter 452 Zhao Shoushou's Windfall

For some reason, in every wave of sea beasts, mortals who don't have any magic power and live in remote places don't suffer too much damage.

At most, it was devoured by some ferocious sea beasts, maybe mortals didn't have much attraction to them, or they were restricted by a certain high-level existence, the real reason was unknown.

In every tide of sea beasts, mortals are happier than monks. Of course, this is only relative. Encountering some violent and bloodthirsty sea beasts is also miserable, and it can be said that they have no power to fight back.

After this rescue, the eight spirit islands in the Calabash Alliance suffered heavy losses. Only half of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage remained. There were more than 15 Foundation Establishment Stage monks at their peak, but now there are only [-] left. Most of the monks are seriously injured and need enough time to heal and recover.

Generally speaking, in the just-concluded sea beast tide battle, although the cultivator side won, it was a truly disastrous victory, especially in the two fallen spirit islands, except for a few lucky ones, only the island owner was alone One escaped with his life.

It can basically be declared that the power of the entire Spirit Island is basically a complete failure, and the rest of the time can only be lived on the Gourd Spirit Island. After the battle of the sea beast tide is completely over, there is a chance to return to the Spirit Island and start from scratch.

The only luck among the misfortunes among these spirit islands may be because of the timely rescue of Hululing Island, the loss of various treasures is not too much.

On the other hand, the monks who survived the tide of sea beasts have good strength and luck, and they are also a good supplement for Calabash Island.

"The sea beast swarm broke out quickly and without warning, and the strength is strong. I am a bit overwhelmed. In order to better deal with the sea beast swarm in the future, we must make a choice. Some relatively weak spirit islands should selectively give up strategically. , do fellow Taoists have any objections?" On the last spiritual island, Zhao Shoushou sat in the center with a golden sword on his horse and said.

According to his plan, all the current monks should be evacuated to three to four spirit islands, but it is also quite difficult to perform.

"The lord is wise, Huayu Lingdao is willing to accept some colleagues." Hua Tianyu obviously welcomes this supplement of power.

After all, in the previous battle, although after a hard fight and rescue, the final victory was achieved, the loss in it should not be underestimated.

"Although the leader has good intentions, the spirit island is related to our monks' cultivation plan in the next few hundred years. Although we suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, we dare not give up at will. We are willing to live and die with the spirit island."

"Spirit Island was fought for by the seniors of the family who risked their lives. It is related to the survival and reproduction of the family. Although the younger generations are not filial and have never developed it, we are not willing to evacuate easily."

"The two fellow daoists are right, please let the lord know what we have in mind."

The speakers were three second-level low-grade spirit island masters, all of whom were at the third level of foundation building. Although they had suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, they still did not want to rely on others.

Maybe there are some treasures in the storage bag that can be used for self-protection at critical moments, or there is a certain fluke mentality in my heart, in short, there are many reasons, and I don’t want to leave easily.

Two of the remaining three island owners have basically become polished commanders. It is extremely lucky to be able to save their lives, and they don't have much say at this time.

Even if they were given a chance to choose, they would definitely choose to temporarily live on Hulu Lingdao as soon as possible. After all, Lingdao, which had turned into a white space, could not support the next wave of sea beast attacks in a short period of time.

The last one is a foundation-building fourth-floor monk, who is guarding a second-tier low-grade spirit island. He didn't have too many losses in the previous battle, so he naturally won't retreat.

Originally, Zhao Shoushou's strategy that he thought was good was to fail inexplicably in this way, and the alliance could only continue to exist in this relatively loose way. As for the next wave of attack, whether it can really hold on depends on their respective strengths and luck.

If there is spare energy in the next battle, Zhao Shoushou will naturally provide a certain degree of support. On the contrary, if the tide of sea beasts facing him is too strong, it will be difficult for him to continue. These monks who are unwilling to evacuate can only settle down fate.

Apart from some pity, Zhao Shoushou's choice is actually understandable for them. On their respective spiritual islands, they are all small overlords with noble status, and they can escape with certainty even if they encounter danger.

Once you give up the spirit island, you are really living under the fence. The next attack of the sea beast tide will definitely be the existence of the first wave of cannon fodder, and the danger is not small.

Comparing the two, staying on Lingdao is also a good choice, but other than that, Zhao Shoushou has also gained a lot as the leader.

The first is prestige. Almost all the monks who survived this wave of sea beasts were rescued, and their display of supernatural power can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The second treasure, some treasures that were about to be destroyed during the rescue process, Zhao Shoushou and the monks under his command naturally would not let them go easily and selflessly.

Even if most of them are some low-grade treasures, the seven spirit islands are not a small number, and it is also a big supplement for the calabash spirit island that also suffered heavy losses before.

Although each gourd sea area is located in a corner, and the comprehensive conditions on each spirit island have never been too good, it is still a place passed down from generation to generation by many families, and some treasures used to press the bottom of the box also exist.

During this period, Zhao Shoushou naturally gained something, and the most precious thing is a piece of second-grade top-grade lightning strike wood about ten feet long.

This kind of treasure is not too common, and it has a very powerful deterrent effect on many ghosts and monks who practice ghost-attribute skills.

In addition, the island owners of the spirit islands received the grace of saving their lives at the most critical moment, no matter what kind of thoughts they had, they would definitely repay them.

The best way and the most effective way is naturally to offer some relatively precious treasures, subject to their own cultivation, the most precious is the two bottles of second-rank top-grade Juyuan elixirs presented by Huayu Lingdao.

This is a very precious kind of panacea that is specially needed to assist the cultivation of the ninth-level monks of foundation building. Each one needs at least twenty kinds of second-level high-grade panacea to be refined.

More than ten of them are related to the second-rank high-grade sea beasts, and the difficulty of refining is quite high. Even experienced alchemists only have a [-]% alchemy rate.

The spiritual power contained in each source-gathering elixir is about the same as that of the six elixir-increasing elixirs, and its preciousness can be imagined, which is even beyond Zhao Shoushou's expectation.

There are as many as twenty pills in the two bottles of the second-order high-grade source-gathering elixir, which can be called a valuable windfall.

Chapter 453 Busy in Sea Beast Tide

The other island owners of the spirit islands were divided according to their respective strengths, financial resources, etc., and presented some treasures that they thought were valuable. Of course, these did not help him too much.

On the contrary, the two landowners in the early foundation establishment period who fell in the spirit island seemed to be quite bachelors. In order to protect their own safety and find a good place to practice, they basically offered everything except some resources needed for their own cultivation.

A bottle of ten Zengyuan elixir is also considered an unexpected gain, and it was passed down from one of the families, which is not without merit for him.

"Since fellow daoists are unwilling to give up their respective spiritual islands, Mr. Zhao will naturally not force him. If he encounters danger in the future, he will naturally provide support in accordance with the rules of the Calabash Alliance if he encounters danger in the future. Fellow daoists, cherish it for two days." After that, seeing that it was difficult to reach an agreement for a while, Zhao Shoushou led the team to leave decisively.

The meaning in the words is undoubtedly revealed, and everything can only be supported under the circumstances within its ability, which has almost doomed their future fate.

In the unpredictable tide of sea beasts in the future, the situation faced by any spiritual island and any monk will become more and more severe.

Zhao Shoushou's foundation-building eighth-level cultivation might be able to rule the roost in the small area of ​​the Gourd Sea Region, but when facing an increasingly large number of sea beasts, this little cultivation is obviously far from enough.

Now he can only hope to save his life in the future tide of sea beasts, and there is no other need. Therefore, the so-called ability to do what he can is probably just a good expectation. Island of strength and luck.

The area of ​​the calabash sea area is not that big. An hour later, a group of more than [-] monks returned to the calabash spirit island. Under Zhao Shoushou's arrangement, the monks did not have any time to rest and immediately devoted themselves to the restoration of the defense facilities of the spirit island.

The two monks in the early stage of foundation establishment were each responsible for leading a team of monks in the Qi refining period to fill in the cracks in the city wall. More than a dozen monks in the Qi refining period were broken up and evenly distributed among the teams according to their specialties, striving to contribute their respective strengths.

In short, in order to restore the defense of Lingdao as soon as possible, and to cope with the possible sea beast tide in the next period of time, the whole Calabash Lingdao has entered an inexplicably busy state.

Of course, the city wall is only the simplest part of it. In addition, the integration of various resources, the repair of magic weapons, the refining and storage of elixir and talisman seals, etc. are all indispensable.

After a battle, the first-order talismans and spirit pills that had been stored in large quantities were basically exhausted, and there were not many left. Facing the tide of sea beasts, it was far from enough to rely solely on the cultivators themselves. Sufficient resources were also very important. ring.

As for the raw materials for all these, isn't it just the large number of sea beast carcasses in front of you, the fur is used to refine talisman paper, the blood essence can be used to make talisman ink, and the spiritual materials can be used to refine magical weapons, spiritual weapons and even array flags, etc. The so-called local materials.

All the monks performed their duties in an orderly manner. As the owner of the island, Zhao Shoushou naturally needed to lead by example in addition to a short retreat to recuperate his injuries at this critical moment.

His most important task every day is to inspect the situation within a radius of [-] nautical miles of Lingdao, but if he finds a gathering of sea beasts, he must report it as soon as possible, and Hululingdao will make preparations in advance.

The other most important point is to hunt and kill some second-order sea beasts that are more threatening before the sea beast tide breaks out. Different types of sea beasts have different uses and values.

Every time Zhao Shoushou hunts down one of them, it is a small supplement to the operation of the entire spirit island. The most important point is that with the death of some powerful second-order sea beasts every day, it is a great challenge for all the monks. The morale of the team is also no small incentive.

Every outbreak of the sea beast tide seems to be choppy and unstoppable, but it is a large number of second-order sea beasts that occupy the main position, and they act as the leaders of small sea beast groups.

The performance of each Tier [-] sea beast in battle affects almost hundreds of Tier [-] sea beasts. At this time, every time one of them is hunted, the tide of sea beasts that will be faced in the future may be weakened. One point of strength.

Perhaps each wave of sea beasts will not have a direct impact on the overall situation. For the remote gourd sea area, the effect is quite significant when the overall number is limited.

Presumably this is also the direction that most monks have been working hard on. The effect of this strategy in the past beast horde is quite high.

Therefore, at the end of each large-scale beast tide, almost most monks would make the same choice, hunting and killing as many sea beasts as possible.

Of course, we still have to grasp the scale. After all, apart from the second-order sea beasts, their real leader is the third-order sea beasts that are comparable to Jindan monks. If one of them is provoked, it will be a disaster for the entire Gourd Sea Territory. .

This is not alarmist talk, but a real thing. Even some spirit islands with Golden Core monks usually use this method to hunt and kill third-order sea beasts.

Time passed by little by little. Except for hunting sea beasts, Zhao Shoushou devoted almost all of his energy to cultivation during the rest of the time. He gained something in every battle, and with the assistance of the spirit pill, his cultivation was not slow, and he was steadily improving. It is obviously rare to advance to the ninth floor of the foundation building.

"Everyone has been working hard in recent days. What is there to regret on Spirit Island? Fellow Daoists, you can speak freely. All of this is to deal with the next wave of sea beasts. Don't shy away from medical treatment." Three months later, the island lord's mansion meeting hall Inside, Zhao Shoushou sat in the middle of the big horse with a golden knife and asked.

"I would like to report to the island owner that the first repair of the city wall has been completed. If the second reinforcement is carried out, the stored spiritual sand has been exhausted and needs to be excavated. In view of the strength of sea beasts, a monk with sufficient strength is needed to act Guards, drive away the second-tier high-grade sea beasts entrenched on Lingsha." The first person to speak was undoubtedly the vice-island owner Zhao Baihua.

Spiritual sand is a common but necessary spiritual material, that is, some sand that exists near the spiritual veins for a long time and has been fully nourished by spiritual power is also an indispensable adhesive in the process of building the city wall.

Originally, the spiritual sand needed for Hulu Lingdao was purchased from a sea sand field about [-] nautical miles away. At this time, under the invasion of the sea beast tide, the field had already been empty and turned into a paradise for sea beasts.

Now it is not an easy task to go to get the sand from the sea. At least one late-stage Foundation Establishment monk is required to escort along the way. On Hululing Island, only Zhao Shoushou is the only one who meets the requirements.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Zhao is getting more and more interesting. It is still possible to act as a thug. You just need to notify someone in advance before setting off." Zhao Shoushou would never refuse such a thing.

As for the second-tier high-grade sea beasts entrenched in the sea sand field, Zhao Shoushou didn't take it to heart, but it was just a lot of thought, and it was nothing to worry about.

Chapter 454 Conquest of the Spirit Island Alliance

According to his current strength, it is not too difficult to hunt and kill those who are relatively weak among the second-tier high-grade sea beasts, as long as they are willing to put in a lot of effort.

The strong ones among the second-tier high-grade sea beasts can also achieve the goal of entanglement or dispersion. In short, according to the current situation, there is no problem in the safety of collecting spiritual sand in the sea sand field.

If the sea beasts entrenched here were not too strong, Zhao Shoushou would definitely not give up easily. After all, their demon pills are also a good medicine that can help improve cultivation.

With the current cut-off of the sea route, various transactions are becoming more and more scarce, and the various resources required for cultivation are in short supply. The demon pill, which was not very effective, has become an indispensable part because of its wide range of sources.

This is perhaps the biggest advantage a monk can gain from the tide of sea beasts, even though the process of realizing it is quite long and difficult.
