Practice begins with a fisherman

Therefore, many monks just sighed a little, and did not have any desire to pick it. As for the thousand-year-old iron wood, it is a special hard wood that can be used as a special material for some large-scale buildings. The value of each piece is not high, so A piece of forest is very valuable.

In addition, the spiritual veins of this spiritual island are obviously far beyond what Zhao Shoushou and others expected. The density of spiritual power in the periphery is already similar to that of the third-rank low-grade spiritual veins. Isn't it possible to reach the fourth-rank in the depths of the spiritual island?

The overseas cultivation world is known to be richer than the mainland cultivation world, and the number of spiritual islands with fourth-order spiritual veins is quite rare.

Even some sects with ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage are just a third-order high-grade spiritual vein. It can be imagined that after the core of the sea beast tide is destroyed, the ownership of this spiritual island will be a protracted struggle. war.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhao Shoushou. For him, the most important thing at present is to search for treasures as soon as possible, condense the golden core, and wait for the opportunity to seize a third-order spirit island.

The location assigned by the No.18 team is roughly located in the northeast near the inner side of the spirit island, and the spiritual energy is also more abundant than the previous location.

It's a pity that this is not a good thing. It also means that the possibility of being attacked by sea beasts is higher. The stronger the team, the closer the resting place is to the coast. Obviously, they once again acted as cannon fodder.

Looking around, almost all the monks on the periphery were from casual cultivators. The monks who seized the throne of the island owner in the battle for Lingdao were everywhere.

However, Zhao Shoushou was not dissatisfied with this point, or he was a little bit happy to see the results. He would get the moon first if he was close to the water, so he could go deep into Lingdao to investigate in advance.

Compared with large-scale operations by monks, individual actions are more effective for collecting some precious elixir.

I think this is also the subconscious thought of many monks. At least the ten monks in the No.18 team are quite satisfied with the current arrangement.

As mentioned above, when there is enough harvest, some dangers are nothing to worry about, and they will not be the reason to stop them from moving forward. Presumably this is also the true inner thinking of most monks. People with this mentality do not Zhao Shoushou is not alone.

Chapter 461 Private Exploration Action

According to the usual practice, there are no specific tasks assigned to the monks three days before their recent arrival. There are two reasons: first, the newly arrived monks need some time to adapt and adjust their state; Form a confrontation with the strong among the sea beasts.

In the previous documented tides of sea beasts, under normal circumstances, monks at the Nascent Soul Stage or Tier [-] Sea Beasts would not attack easily, and the tacit understanding between the two sides generally ended the battle at the Golden Core Stage or Tier [-] Sea Beasts.

Whether it is the ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage who belongs to the monk or the powerful fourth-order sea beast, once it is shot, its power must be earth-shattering, and its lethality is also powerful for both sides, not to mention the foundation-building stage monk. Golden Core cultivator could not escape either.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the high-level power of the two sides is evenly matched. If the power is too far apart, how can a balanced situation be formed?

Generally speaking, in every tide of sea beasts, the monks are generally in the passive defense stage, and only with enough time to accumulate strength little by little, can they make a direct attack on the enemy's hole at the last moment A big counterattack, just like the current eradication of sea beasts.

If there was no early stage relying on the spiritual islands scattered across the overseas cultivation world to block the advance of sea beasts and kill their vital forces, how would the Spirit Island Alliance have the opportunity to organize a powerful force to come to this spiritual island?

In the early stage of the battle, under the hard work of Zhao Shoushou in the remote calabash sea area, only two spirit islands fell, which is already a miracle.

If you look at the entire cultivation world, there are many fallen spirit islands, and a large number of monks died in the continuous siege of sea beasts.

After the tide of sea beasts was over, at least one-third of the spirit island had been emptied, and the foundation-building stage monks who were originally vassals showed up one after another to compete for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

More than half of the family inheritance in the overseas cultivation world starts from now. As long as there are no major changes in the middle, small families will soon grow tenaciously like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Time flies and in the blink of an eye it is already the third night for the monks to arrive at Lingdao. After some simple breathing adjustments, his state is basically at the peak level. Looking at the darkness in the distance, his eyes seem to be able to see through, piercing There is also a hint of impatience mixed with God.

"From the night of the first day to now, more and more monks have been acting alone. Judging from the number of returnees, the danger should not be too great. How can someone Zhao stay here safely?" Zhao Shoushou Muttering to himself, it seemed that An could no longer bear the throbbing in his heart.

In fact, since the first night of arriving here, some more courageous monks have been going to explore the depths one after another, trying to pick and compete for some real treasures before the large army of monks is dispatched.

Every day in the depths of Spirit Island, there would be the sound of monks fighting sea beasts, and all kinds of shrill cries almost spread throughout the entire Spirit Island.

Some of the monks who went out were able to return smoothly and hunted some sea beasts and picked some relatively precious elixir. Of course, there were also quite a few who died.

However, the Spirit Island Alliance seems to turn a blind eye to this situation. The vacancies of some fallen monks' squads will be replenished as soon as possible.

Among them, some late foundation-building monks who served as team leaders fell. From this point of view, the danger in the depths of this spiritual island is not small.

The friars who were sober and hesitant during the fall of many friars disappeared without a trace when a friar successfully picked a purple-skinned ginseng that was ten thousand years old.

On the third night, even Zhao Shoushou, who has always been known for his calmness, couldn't help but want to go and find out. As far as his current cultivation is concerned, as long as the third-order sea beasts have never made a move, there is no problem in ensuring his own safety. .

"Opportunity is ahead, how can Mr. Zhao hesitate to move forward? If you don't have the courage, how can you break this solid barrier and condense the golden core?" The shaking disappeared in the depths of Lingdao.

The purpose of Zhao Shoushou's trip is to find some elixir that can help improve the cultivation level of the ninth level of foundation building or some relatively precious treasures of heaven and earth. If these two treasures have not appeared, he is not willing to easily interact with some sea beasts. hands.

After all, this is the lair of many sea beasts. Once you make a move, you must end the battle firmly. The longer the delay, the more dangerous the monk's situation will be. Once he falls into the siege of sea beasts, even he will not be able to win. grasp.

As we continue to move forward, we get closer to the depths of the spiritual island, and the surrounding spiritual power becomes more and more abundant, and various complex terrains appear one after another, such as dense jungles, sunken pits, raised peaks, etc. All in one.

In short, on this small spiritual island, it seems that all the terrain is assembled, and perhaps in an inconspicuous earth pit, there is a deadly sea beast hidden.

Zhao Shoushou obviously doesn't have much interest in these common little guys, he pays more attention to some precious second-order high-grade sea beasts.

It's a pity that some second-tier top-grade sea beasts that are cherished and valuable are even rarer than the ninth-level foundation-building monks among the monks. Although there were many battles along the way, he never showed up for a battle.

The most dangerous thing among them is passing by a third-order flying sea beast once. I don't know whether he has never found his trace or is not interested in the little guy on the ground. It was almost gone, but it made him break out in a cold sweat in vain.

In fact, during this period of time, apart from many foundation-building stage monks, some Golden Core monks will also not be stingy with their shots, killing one or two sea beasts of the same level to pick some elixir.

After half an hour, at a position close to some demonic pillars, I finally discovered that a fist-sized spider covered in jet black patterns was devouring the corpse of a monk.

Spider-like sea beasts have always been a type with low added value. He would not have sold them unless they could be exchanged for points. The thing that moved him the most was naturally a crimson six-leaf about an inch high near the spider's lair. It is a grass that looks ordinary and suddenly does not have any characteristics.

Other than that, maybe the only thing that can be called valuable is the spider's lair, which covers a large area. The spider silk on it is also a kind of good spiritual material, which can be used to refine some spiritual web materials.

"Boiling blood grass can be used to save one's life at a critical moment. With it, even if you encounter some weaker third-rank low-grade sea beasts, you may still be able to escape." Zhao Shoushou's eyes shot a rather enthusiastic light.

Boiling blood grass is a relatively unpopular elixir, and it can't do anything to improve the cultivation level, but it can ignite the blood essence in the body, and in a short period of time, it can increase one's own strength by about two times.

Chapter 462 Boiling Blood Grass and Patrol Missions

Of course, the aftereffect is also quite terrifying, basically at the price of the monk's potential, once it is used, the chance of Zhao Shoushou condensing the golden core will be even slimmer.

Under normal circumstances, such an overbearing elixir would naturally not be used, but it is also good as a backup option in the tide of sea beasts, in any case, it is better than dying here.

The monk who presumably fell into the trap presumably because he recognized the details of the Boiling Blood Grass, he hastily led to the current situation.

Now that Zhao Shoushou has understood the situation, he will naturally not repeat the same mistakes. This spider covered with black lines is just a newly promoted second-rank high-grade spider. Too much trouble.

As for the reason why no other monks have discovered this place, it is mainly because the Boiling Blood Grass is completely different from other elixir, it does not stimulate the flow of spiritual energy around it, and mainly absorbs the spiritual energy deep underground through its roots.

Moreover, these blood-boiling grasses do not have any special features on the surface. Once there are a lot of weeds covering the surrounding area, it is impossible to find their existence. Perhaps this is the reason why this blood-boiling grass can survive to this day.

Although the aftermath of taking Boiled Blood Grass is great, it is not unacceptable when life is threatened. At this time, in the tide of sea beasts, his value has doubled.

If you are willing to sell it, you can at least exchange it for a bottle of Zengyuan Lingdan from the temporary trading market. After all, it can be used to save your life at a critical moment.

"Praying mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind. Since I am immersed in delicious food, it is time for someone Zhao to be an effortless fisherman." Concentrate all the breath and attack the spider covered with black lines.

Zhao Shoushou's attacks have always believed in one righteousness and one strangeness, and the combination of righteousness and strangeness. Naturally, his attack will not be so simple. A second-level middle-grade water diversion fork is responsible for the frontal assault.

On the one hand, it can reduce the spider's vigilance, and on the other hand, it can also increase the possibility of a successful flying sword surprise attack. As expected, when the breath of the water fork appeared, the spider that had been gnawing on the corpse suddenly raised its head, and four black jets shot out from its four eyes. light.

This kind of light is a special attack method full of strong corrosiveness, which cannot be resisted by ordinary spiritual weapons. This set of water diversion fork, which has not appeared for a long time, has a trace of special dense air on the surface, which is exactly the power of water. Essence.

All things in the world are mutual generation and mutual restraint, but the essence of water attribute can resist most of the power of corrosion, so the water diversion fork is suitable for this place.

As the fronts of the two came closer to each other, there was a special sound from the black light, which was a manifestation of the mutual consumption between the power of corrosion and the essence of water.

Unlike ordinary battles, the noise produced by this kind of wear and tear is very small, and monks who are a little further away cannot detect the existence of battle.

"Flying sword, imperial order" Zhao Shoushou's real trump card, the second-rank high-grade flying sword, had already appeared above the spider in this relatively short period of time. Before reacting, it had passed through its head.

Everything seemed quite neat and neat. Under the action of the flying sword, after some struggles, the black-striped spider had fallen to death on the ground.

In fact, from this seemingly simple battle, it can already be seen that there is an irreparable gap between the monks of the ninth-level foundation establishment and the ordinary late-stage foundation establishment monks.

Since this spider can hunt and kill a monk as blood food, it is naturally not an easy person, at least it should not be weak among the same level. Unfortunately, before Zhao Shoushou's spirit sword, it has no effect other than granting heads.

"A complete boiled blood plant, a storage bag, and a complete spider web can be regarded as quite rewarding. It's time to return to the station." He was quite satisfied with the harvest.

The treasures in the storage bag were not checked immediately, but as a monk with most of his net worth, it should be considered a big gain.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. This principle also applies to expeditions. Zhao Shoushou's location is basically close to the depths of Lingdao. If he continues to move forward, he may encounter some powerful sea beasts.

Once a single person falls into the siege of sea beasts, even if he is stronger than him, it will be a troublesome thing, not to mention that if he goes deeper, it may attract the attention of some third-order sea beasts.

"Squad No. 18 is responsible for patrolling the subsidence area of ​​No. 12 for a period of one month. During the patrol, it is responsible for establishing a stable patrol line and killing sea beasts that try to cross the patrol line." Zhao Shoushou was silent about the task assigned by the Lingdao Alliance Speechless.

The patrol task itself is not very difficult, the key is to establish a safe patrol line, which is equivalent to cutting a part from the sea beast's territory alive, and its counterattack is powerful.

The content of the first patrol mission of all teams is roughly the same, and the focus is on the division of patrol areas. The subsidence area is on this comprehensive spiritual island, where a piece of lake bottom that is about to dry up is located. It is a place where various poisonous insects and beasts inhabit. Dangerous The speed is obviously higher than other places, the key is that the environment is poor and not suitable for the growth of various elixir.

In the process of assigning tasks, the Lingdao Alliance is almost blatantly fighting for a favorable position for some sects and families at the cost of casual cultivators' lives.

"Captain, the number of poisonous insects in the subsidence area far exceeds our strength. Can you fight for one or two from the alliance? Change to a new patrol area?"

"The Spirit Island Alliance is indeed the same as before, but how can we resist it?"

"I didn't hesitate to go across tens of thousands of sea miles to wipe out the core of the sea beast tide. What I got today is so unfair. Does the Spirit Island Alliance really not care at all?"

The monks of the No.18 team have endless grief and indignation on every face, just like a daughter who was abandoned by a heartbroken man.

"The order of the Lingdao Alliance has been finalized. Fellow Daoists should take precautions as soon as possible. After two days, we will set off for the subsidence area to establish a patrol line. Of course, if you can change the task assignment, Zhao will be happy to see it happen." Zhao Shoushou said indifferently As he spoke, it seemed that there was no grief or anger in his heart.

In fact, all these appearances are nothing more than getting used to the various injustices encountered by casual cultivators. What's more, the matter has reached this point, and there is no room for resistance in the face of absolute power.

But even if there is any sign of unwillingness to obey the order, the Lingdao Alliance dispatched some elite monks to form a law enforcement team, and they must not mind killing chickens for monkeys to play a deterrent effect.

Instead of struggling to do some useless work here, it is better to take advantage of the time left and prepare some detoxifying panacea in advance. These things can be used to save lives at critical moments. Since there is no room for resistance, we can only try our best Try to adapt, this has always been the principle he insisted on.

Chapter 463 The battle between red-spotted flying ants and poisonous insects

Judging from the assignment of the first comprehensive patrol task of the Lingdao Alliance, some positions with abundant resources and high security during the preliminary exploration process have basically become the pockets of some famous families.

Moreover, the Jindan stage monks who are responsible for containment and support in each larger area are basically from various sects and families, which also means that in case of danger, the chances of Zhao Shoushou and other loose cultivators getting rescue are not great.

The first division of tasks was also the time when the harvest was the most fruitful. It was basically equivalent to the division of spheres of influence. This was also the root cause of the reluctance of casual monks like Zhao Shoushou and others.

It's a pity that after all, the arms can't twist the thighs. Without the support of high-level monks, there is obviously no way but to bow their heads and accept their fate.

Frightened by the absolute strength of many Jindan stage monks, the ten monks of the No. 18 team must set off according to the time, even though they are reluctant in their hearts.

The resentment in Zhao Shoushou's heart existed, but there was no expression on the surface, and there were other plans deep in his heart.

Assignment of tasks is naturally important, and the establishment of patrol tasks and patrol lines is also necessary, but the Spirit Island Alliance has not stipulated that all monks must be honestly trapped in a fixed position.

In addition, this large subsidence area is relatively remote in comparison, which does not mean that there are no opportunities and resources in it.

Since it can become the habitat of a large number of poisonous insects and beasts, there must be some precious resources here. Zhao Shoushou, as the most powerful existence in this area, is not without opportunities to obtain more opportunities.

The two evils are the lesser of two evils. Without enough strength to resist, all he can do now is to try his best to tap the existing resources and potential.

"Everyone, the subsidence area lies ahead. According to the order of the Spirit Island Alliance, we need to establish a patrol line in one third of the area, but kill all sea beasts that try to cross the patrol line." Zhao Shoushou said very calmly , seems to have a well-thought-out plan, and the difficulty of completing it is not too big.

In fact, in the case of limited resources, the competition for living space is quite cruel, and the sea beasts occupying this place obviously will not give up easily.

The cultivator is also using this stupid method to slowly wear down the vitality of the sea beast, and is also searching for the real factor that may become the core of the sea beast tide, and is completely destroyed by it.

"In this piece of mud, it is not as barren as I imagined. Lao Hou has already noticed the existence of strong spiritual power. It may be that I have a good harvest waiting in this seemingly plain mud." After the district, Hou Rongfa was extremely excited, as if he had forgotten all the previous steadfastness.

"Although the spiritual power here is slightly inferior to that of the core area of ​​Lingdao, it is almost the same, and the number and strength of sea beasts entrenched here must be much weaker, and it is also a good patrol area."

"Compared to some squads assigned to patrol the ferocious sea beast area, we are already quite lucky. It is extremely lucky to be able to save our lives in the sea beast tide. How can there be so many demands?"

The monks of the tenth team spoke one after another to express their satisfaction. It seems that this subsidence area, which was abandoned like a shoe shoe yesterday, has instantly become a sweet pastry for everyone to compete for.

"Since fellow daoists have no objections, I will wait for the first patrol to officially start. A certain and fellow daoist Hou will each lead a small team to divide the patrol line from the left and right sides to the middle. As a result, the establishment of the patrol line has been affected in the slightest. If the task cannot be completed on time, the punishment of the Spirit Island Alliance will be unbearable for me and other small people." When he said this, his language was unprecedentedly serious.

The Spirit Island Alliance is not a charity. The list of rewards is a reward for the efforts of all monks to hunt sea beasts. After the mission fails, there must be punishment.

The establishment of the patrol line is the first task, and it is also a key step for the monks to take root here. The punishment after failure is also quite cruel.

If the establishment of the patrol line cannot be completed within the fixed time required in the respective patrol area, all monks will immediately remove the position of island master and be incorporated into the vanguard battalion. At least ten assault missions need to be completed.

The so-called Pioneer Battalion is actually the Cannon Fodder Battalion. All of their missions are narrow escape or death missions, not to mention ten times. Those who can come back alive are very few lucky ones. Basically, the only ending of the Pioneer Battalion is Just fall.

This kind of punishment was obviously unbearable to all the monks present. Under Zhao Shoushou's reminder, the expressions on the faces of all the monks became more serious, and the emphasis on the task increased significantly.

After all, the main purpose of gathering so many monks in the Spirit Island Alliance is not to pick elixir, but to kill the tide of sea beasts.

The first patrol mission started soon, and under the leadership of Zhao Shoushou and Hou Rongfa, two late stage foundation monks, they quickly headed towards the unknown subsidence area.

The poisonous beasts and insects living here are obviously very keen on the monk's breath. Before approaching, about a hundred black mosquitoes the size of a finger with a pair of black wings exuding a fierce breath have already appeared one after another.

Of course, the strength of these little guys living on the edge of the subsidence area is not considered strong, and their strength is about the first-level top-rank, which is equivalent to the Qi refining period of a monk.

Even if it was a sea beast with some intelligence, it would not rush forward despite such an obvious difference in strength. It is a pity that these poisonous insects only have some fierce breath left.

Zhao Shoushou waved his hands, and more than twice the number of red-spotted flying ants swarmed out. These little guys, who hadn't shown up in battle for a long time, after the mother worms were promoted to the second-rank low-rank, some of the powerful ones had already been promoted to the second-rank low-rank , most of them are the pinnacle of the first-order top-rank.

In the case of spiritual insects against poisonous insects, under the situation of double advantages in strength and number, there is no possibility of losing at all, and soon they have firmly gained the upper hand. During the process of fighting between the two sides, a large number of poisonous insects landed one after another, and soon became red-spotted flying insects. Ants store part of their food.

Apparently, with the advantage in strength, some of the poisonous insects in the periphery who used to win by numbers have lost their biggest support, and they can't bring too much trouble to the monks of the No.18 team.

After more than years of accumulation, the number of spirit insects in the ant nest has reached tens of thousands, of which about a hundred are at the second-level low-grade, which can fully support Zhao Shoushou's patrol in this subsidence area.

Even the monks of the No.18 team only need to hunt down the strongest among them one by one in the first round, and rely on these red-spotted flying ants later to play an early warning role.

Of course, the two lower-rank cormorants, which had been hiding in the spirit beast bag for a long time, were also ready to go, and the poisonous insects turned into delicacies in their stomachs.
