Practice begins with a fisherman

The two newly promoted second-tier middle-grade cormorants seldom encountered some opponents of comparable strength. They waved their short wings hard, and each swooped towards a second-tier middle-grade piranha.

The piranha, who has always been cruel and bloodthirsty, will not retreat easily when seeing an unfamiliar group invade. Its sharp and dense teeth are looking for a suitable opponent to bite.

In terms of the overall number, the piranhas still have the upper hand, but under Zhao Shoushou's command, almost all the red-spotted flying ants gather on a fixed path. From the perspective of the current battle, it is the piranhas who have the upper hand. Zhao Shoushou's party had already advanced one-third of the distance in about the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

If it weren't for the fact that they had a numerical advantage locally, the fighting power of the red-spotted flying ants was far inferior to that of the piranhas. At the same level, at least two parties were needed to tie the battle, and four or more were sure to kill the piranhas.

On the contrary, the two cormorants, who were not outstanding in fighting ability among the same level, now looked brave and almost invincible.

The second-tier middle-grade piranhas are nothing more than a delicacy in their stomachs. The second-tier top-grade piranhas, which look majestic, are just stalemate, and it is difficult to escape the fate of becoming a blood-eating piranha in the end.

Of course, the one who contributed the most in this battle was Zhao Shoushou. Under the crush of absolute strength, no matter whether it was a low-rank or a high-rank of the second rank, it was difficult to resist his attack.

Under the control of the water gun, the nearby sea water also turned into various forms to swallow a large number of piranhas, turning them into streaks of blood, returning to the space between heaven and earth, turning them into nutrients to nourish the earth, another form There are no bones left on it.

This kind of rapid advance is obviously impossible for a long time, and the Tier [-] piranhas here will not just watch their subordinates continue to die when they are invincible. They also value the strength of the group.

"Good time, take a shot at me, order" Not far away, two low-rank third-rank piranhas, one on the left and one on the right, turned into a stream of light, closing the distance between the two sides at an extremely fast speed, and a giant full of sharp teeth. The mouth came straight to bite his left and right abdomen, and before he got close, there was a burst of stench.

Zhao Shoushou, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally would not let them go forward at will, to deal with some red-spotted flying ants and cormorants, and controlled the water gun out of his hand, turned into a streamer and went to meet the piranhas on the left, in order to quickly kill a third-level low-grade golden light Exploding the talisman seal, it turned into a golden light in the air and fell towards another third-rank low-grade piranha.

When Zhao Shoushou was fighting with the piranha group, the expedition spirit island tens of thousands of sea miles away was also in disorder and chaos. About a hundred monks in the late stage of foundation establishment were in chaos like headless chickens. Collide.

"The owner of the island, the old man, still hasn't survived the last backlash. After his old man died, there will be no ancestors of Jindan on the spirit island. What should we do?" The peak old man in the late foundation establishment period whispered.

This place is located at the junction of the inner and outer seas, and naturally there are some third-order sea beasts. Once the corresponding deterrent power is lost, these sea beasts will naturally not be polite.

"I don't know if the talisman sent out before the ancestor's fall can summon a Jindan ancestor to come to sit in the town"

Chapter 525

"If the expedition team was in its heyday, there would be countless icing on the cake. Naturally, many Jindan ancestors would come to guard them according to the oath. Unfortunately, today is different. Among the beast hordes, the expedition spirit island encountered sea beast attacks several times and suffered heavy losses." A monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment said lonely.

"Now there is only one low-level spirit vein left in the expedition spirit island, and everything else needs to be started from scratch. How can anyone be willing to come and clean up this mess at this time?"

"Not to mention the Patriarch Jindan, most of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage have dispersed, and only some people like me who have nowhere to go are still willing to stay here."

"The expedition team is really ill-fated. In the past three to fifty years, it has finally improved a little bit. Who would have thought that there would be unexpected events, and the old ancestor's injury would suddenly deteriorate."

More than a dozen monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment spoke lonely in a large hall, feeling a lot about the prosperity of the expedition team in the past and the sadness of today.

In fact, according to the rules of the expedition team, every new Jindan monk needs to stay on the Spirit Island for at least a hundred years, but relying on his own strong strength in the past, not every Jindan monk has the opportunity.

The ancestor who sits on Lingdao is already a monk in the middle stage of Jindan, because he was born as a casual cultivator and has been sitting here for a full 300 years.

As for the content of the oath left by joining the expedition team, since it is not necessary, it will naturally not affect the monks. It is the same reason as if the expedition spirit island voluntarily gave up.

When Lingdao encountered an accident and picked it up again, everything was naturally not easy. Isn't it uncomfortable for these Jindan monks to guard in their respective sects?Why do you have to take this muddy water?

For these monks from sects and families, the only purpose of the expedition team is to assist them in collecting elixir, hunting sea beasts, and earning all kinds of precious resources to attack the golden core, that's all.

What's more, there are also many monks and sea beasts who have been offended by the aggressive style of the expedition team over the years. Once the ancestor of the middle-stage Golden Core is resigned, the subsequent series of troubles will really begin.

Zhao Shoushou, who was complacent tens of thousands of nautical miles away, was clearly not aware of the complicated situation he had to face, and he was looking at the two spirit grasses in his hand with a smirk.

Just now, in the battle with the piranha colony, with the help of the red-spotted flying ants and cormorants, he moved forward in one direction with all his strength, gained the upper hand in the local area, and faced the attack of two third-tier low-grade piranha kings. At the time, they shot with all their strength at the first time, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

Zhao Shoushou was very clear about his purpose. First, he quickly passed the piranha's territory, and second, he took the opportunity to pick some spiritual herbs from its core area. Instead of taking advantage of the victory, he gave up decisively and picked two plants in the core area of ​​the piranha. The same spirit grass.

"So what's the point of gaining the upper hand with the power of the group? In front of Zhao's careful planning, he still can only eat ashes. There are actually two third-tier middle-grade seven-star sea cucumbers. It is worthwhile to lose more than half of the red-spotted flying ants with these gains." Zhao Shoushou showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The third-grade mid-grade seven-star sea cucumber is a special ginseng elixir, which has the common characteristics of all ginseng, and has a significant effect on the improvement of monks' cultivation.

The raw clothes can be directly refined, and as the main material in the hands of alchemists, it can be transformed into the seven-star sea cucumber pill suitable for the middle stage of foundation establishment. Even taking it when the mana in the dantian is exhausted after many battles, it is also beneficial to the recovery of the mana in the dantian. What is obvious is that it has many uses.

Of course, there are rewards and sacrifices. Today's battle seems easy, but it is actually quite a fluke to win. Although the two third-tier low-grade piranhas suffered heavy losses, they also spewed out a large number of carrier dramas at the last moment. Poisonous sharp teeth crossed from its abdomen.

If it weren't for the snake gall that had been refined from the three-headed sea snake back then, which has a certain resistance to various toxins, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In addition, carefully cultivated for many years, the number of red-spotted flying ants was difficult to exceed [-] due to the efforts of the female insects. After the First World War, they returned to their most primitive state. Within a year, the female worm will once again return to the state of frantic egg laying.

A metallic third-tier low-grade spiritual talisman is also very valuable. If it is not for a quick victory, under normal circumstances, it is not willing to sacrifice it at all.

Generally speaking, there were gains and losses in this battle, but at least two seven-star sea cucumbers could be exchanged for a bottle of elixir that was more effective than the Xueyuan panacea.

If purely in terms of value, gain and effort are roughly equal, it can only be said that what he needs more now is a panacea that can improve his cultivation.

"Maybe there will be different scenery along the way, Mr. Zhao is quite looking forward to it." The contented Zhao Shoushou whispered, with a satisfied smile on his face, and his figure disappeared quickly. Being rich has a deeper understanding.

At this time, the Expeditionary Spirit Island, which was in another direction, encountered an unprecedented crisis. A huge marine fish of unknown species led more than a hundred second-tier middle-grade and high-grade marine fish to make a tentative attack.

If it weren't for the fact that there are still some remaining formations on the expedition spirit island to rely on, and that fish and sea beasts are naturally restricted, there are always some flaws in land attacks, and these foundation-building stage monks could have persisted.

There were originally more than forty resident foundation cultivators on the expedition spirit island. Unfortunately, after the ravages of sea beasts, some fell and some fled. At present, there are only more than [-] monks left, led by three foundation cultivators The first-tier monks are all of casual cultivator background.

The reason why these monks are still staying here is that they have nowhere to go. For them, it is obviously impossible for them to give up a Tier [-] panacea easily.

Even in the case of full resistance, they can only retreat step by step in the face of absolute strength. Even if there are various disadvantages, the third-order sea beasts are still not something they can resist.

This is a catfish sea beast covered with a layer of black smooth silt. Its main attack method is to manipulate the invasion of sea water. In addition, the ice arrows with complex patterns that spew out from time to time are the most lethal. big.

These seemingly ordinary Frostbolts will explode decisively whenever they meet the barrier of formations, and the remaining pieces of formations always dissipate because of this, and the situation of many monks is becoming more and more difficult step by step.

Thanks to this kind of Frostbolt with many functions, it is also a big burden for the third-tier low-grade catfish. After each cast, it needs enough time to recover. Therefore, the trend of this disadvantage change needs enough time to evolve Only then will a qualitative change be formed.

This also laid a good foundation for the monks who explored the spirit island to wait for rescue, otherwise how could Zhao Shoushou arrive here before the fall of the spirit island?

Chapter 526

"I don't know if our perseverance is meaningful? Is it true that the foundation of exploring the spirit island will fall into the hands of my generation?"

"After the old man was promoted to Foundation Establishment, he spent most of his time on Spirit Island. This battle is either death or life."

"It's just some bastard fish that don't dare to show their faces on weekdays. It's really unreasonable to bully you at this time."

Some of the dozen or so monks were depressed and pessimistic, while others were high-spirited, but the common choice of all of them was to persevere, and not to retreat easily before despair.

It was also under their frantic blocking that the fish roe and fish grandchildren who came with the catfish leader suffered a lot of casualties. At least a dozen white fish bellies floated motionless on the surface of the water.

Although the third-tier low-grade catfish has a certain advantage, it is difficult to completely defeat it for a while. Therefore, what should have been an attack battle unexpectedly turned into a tug-of-war. Every morning, the fish shoals attacked on time and retreated in the evening. In this way, time is passing away little by little, and it also buys enough opportunities for Jindan monk Zhao Shoushou to rescue.

After all, there is a substantial gap between the two sides, and the disadvantages and casualties of the monk's side are also showing a straight-line upward trend. Five days later, with the efforts of the third-level low-grade catfish, all the remaining formations were completely destroyed, and it finally Boarded the site of Expedition Spirit Island.

Under the restraint of nature, even though the combat power is affected to a certain extent after leaving the water, it still has enough advantages in single-body battles.

Even a slight flick of the fish's tail can repel an attacking second-tier high-grade, allowing it to hit the body, under the protection of fish scales, it is also an existence that cannot break through the defense. For the rest of the foundation-building stage monks, they had no choice but to retreat step by step, which was quite pitiful.

And under the pressure of catfish, they can only rely on the simple defense on the mountain peaks near the spiritual veins that originally belonged to the Jindan ancestor, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this so-called defense is just a dying struggle. The effect is really limited.

According to common sense, catfish, as a special sea animal that is used to living in the mud on the seabed, is not very attractive to the so-called spirit island under normal circumstances. I don’t know why this tireless catfish is so interested in exploring the spirit island, even When the final victory was about to be won, a half-smile appeared on the expressionless Yupi's face.

"This is the Expedition Spirit Island? It's only a hundred years away, and it's so dilapidated?" Zhao Shoushou was surprised on the surface of the sea not far away, with an expression of disbelief.

I still remember when I passed the test and officially became a member of Expedition Spirit Island, this base camp with Jindan monks sitting in it can be said to look like a fairy family, which is very enviable.

Who would have thought that it was just a beast swarm, and this place suffered such heavy damage, almost everything in memory has disappeared, leaving only a bare mountain.

"There are still sea beasts attacking the spirit island, how can Zhao ignore it? But so far, there are still monks left, which is quite strange." Zhao Shoushou casually killed some second-order sea beasts hovering outside the spirit island, sitting in the courtyard He boarded Lingdao like a stroll, and headed towards the mountain where he was fighting.

Of course, he was observing the appearance of the entire Spirit Island along the way, hoping to gain a new understanding of it, after all, this place will be the residence for the next hundred years or even longer.

Zhao Shoushou was even thinking that if he had the right opportunity, it would not be impossible to wait for the opportunity to devour this spiritual island and turn it into his own foundation. The expedition team has not existed for a short time, and it also has the support and support of many monks.

After all, there are many people in the cultivation world who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will settle down in the future. It is impossible to say that this adventure island will once again attract the attention of many monks. If you simply serve as the owner of Jindan Island, there will be no problem. On the contrary, annexing it wholeheartedly is likely to cause a big war.

All of this is just a long-term plan for natural development. According to the current miserable situation on Spirit Island, the next hundred years of exploring Spirit Island will be in a recovery period.

Apart from some remaining jade slips, I am afraid that there are no more opportunities to gain benefits at all, and it is very likely that some spiritual stones will need to be paid in advance, such as the layout of the island guard formation.

"Hey, how dare a mere disgraceful catfish do evil in Expedition Spirit Island? Wouldn't it be disrespectful to someone Zhao? He's going to die soon." Zhao Shoushou, who was in a state of anger for a while, looked at the How can the raging catfish be forgiven easily.

Hearing a shout, and laughing out of anger, the water gun turned into a stream of light and flew away. The target was the catfish. At the same time, the Qianli Frozen Treasure arrived first, and the rapidly dropping temperature quickly moved it. The speed was obviously restricted, and a thin layer of ice appeared on the pitch-black fish skin.

"Zhizhi" the catfish spirit made a special cry when it felt life-threatening. If it faced an attack from a monk of the same level in the sea, it would be able to escape smoothly even if it was lost. The catfish had all disappeared by the time they chose to land on Lingdao.

Facing the double pressure of controlling water guns and thousands of miles of ice-sealing treasures, he could only turn around and resist. Unfortunately, on land, his combat effectiveness was not too good, and at this time it was greatly reduced. Facing double attacks It was hard to resist, and it was quite pitiful.

The catfish spirit's strongest ability is to manipulate the waves and currents. At this time, the counterattack with the ice arrow is quite weak at this time. Under the wave of the water gun, it is easy to shatter and fall to the ground into pieces. ice cubes.

The fish skin, which had been unable to break the defense in front of many foundation-building monks, now appeared to be quite fragile. Under the action of the water control gun, it was like a piece of useless crispy skin, cracking and cracking, and even There was no time for some decent counterattacks.

"Expedition team, thank you senior for saving your life."

"Dare to ask senior Gao's name, but you were invited to guard the Expedition Spirit Island?"

In the previous battle, there were only seven monks whose eyes were full of expectation. After this battle, they realized the necessity of a Jindan stage monk. Relying on their strength, there is no way to guard this treasure island of Zhongling Peak.

"A certain person joined the expedition team a hundred years ago. Now that he has successfully built the foundation today, he will naturally come here to guard this place for a hundred years according to the requirements of the Dao Dao oath, but he never thought it would become like this?" A sigh.

"The Expedition Spirit Island is located at the junction of the inner and outer seas, and the attack from the tide of sea beasts is particularly strong. If Senior Zhang hadn't resisted desperately, the consequences would have been unimaginable." An old man headed by this said that he was particularly painful.

"Forget it, the foundation of Lingdao has not been damaged, and everything will recover eventually. The most important thing at present is to rearrange a large formation to protect the island. Is there a suitable third-tier formation flag in the treasury?" Since he decided to guard it, he The performance is also quite straightforward.

Chapter 527 Adventure Spirit Island Rebirth

At worst, this place is also a real third-order spiritual island, which was coveted in the past, and has a third-order low-grade spiritual vein of good quality.

What's more, he firmly believes that even after being ravaged by sea beasts and catfish, there must be some treasures left on this seemingly dilapidated spirit island.

Ordinary people know the three caves of the cunning rabbit, not to mention the Expedition Spirit Island, which is the base camp of the expedition team, there must be a second, third or even fourth treasure house in some hidden locations. Restore and rise to the roots.

In fact, Zhao Shoushou felt that these treasures were not the most precious treasures left on the spirit island, but some jade slips that belonged to the expedition team passed down from generation to generation were the most valuable.

The content recorded in each jade slip is a true treasure left by the expedition team for generations of monks during the exploration process.

These jade slips or books are precisely not attractive to sea beasts. Although the original library has been damaged, the inheritance of jade slips and books must exist, and every monk in the expedition team understands its importance.

They are the key to the rapid rise of the expedition team in the overseas cultivation world, and the restoration of influence, and become the key to everyone vying to join it.

"Can the jade slips in the Library Pavilion be damaged? These things are the foundation for the expedition team to gain a foothold in the cultivation world. The most important thing right now is to restore the Library Pavilion as soon as possible." The sharp and fierce light that seemed to be devouring people circled back and forth on the few surviving monks.

However, if any of the monks lied, the consequences would be quite serious, which was also Zhao Shoushou's purpose.

If it is possible, there are tens of thousands of jade slips in Zangshu Pavilion, and none of them can be missing, especially the practice experience and inheritance of skills treasured on the second floor, which is the most important thing.

The inheritance of these skills is also a very important reason why these casual cultivators in the foundation establishment period are willing to stay here. Zhao Shoushou came here tens of thousands of nautical miles away, which is also very important.

Cultivation by monks is nothing more than the wealth of legal couples, among which the Dharma is ranked first. In addition to the normal inheritance of skills, the practice experience of some seniors is also an indispensable part. The experience and lessons recorded in it are for the younger generation The importance of monks is beyond doubt.

Especially for casual cultivators like Zhao Shoushou who don't have any seniors to ask for advice, and who are groping their way forward step by step, they can bypass many detours.

"The ancestors don't need to be angry, the importance of the jade slips is understood by the juniors, and they are all distributed equally according to the level of cultivation." The old man with white beard and hair is obviously the core of the surviving monks.

"The old ancestor is right. The hidden pavilion is the foundation for the expedition team to gain a foothold in the realm of comprehension. As long as it is erected, a large number of monks will naturally flock to it. The expedition team will soon return to its former grandeur."

"Reporting to the ancestors, there is still a set of third-order low-grade six-turn enchanting formation flags in the secret storehouse"

Under Zhao Shoushou's urging, the surviving monks began to talk about the secrets they knew, and the frustration on their faces disappeared without a trace. It seemed that the expedition team and the expedition to the spirit island had returned to their grand occasion.

"Now is the most difficult time to explore Spirit Island, and it is also the most dangerous critical moment of life and death. Since Mr. Zhao is willing to come, he must preserve the inheritance of the expedition team. Please, fellow Taoists, overcome this difficult time together. Please. "Zhao Shoushou's face was very serious, before he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to more than a dozen monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"The ancestor Zhesha junior and others, if the ancestor did not make a move at a critical moment, the junior and others would have already fallen under the fight with the catfish."

"The old ancestor only needs to give the order, and the younger generation promises to follow the order, and absolutely dare not make any discounts."

"The revival of the expedition team is our common goal, and the ancestor is the core of the entire expedition team."

Zhao Shoushou's simple etiquette without any warning made the monks present very excited. There are two reasons for this: first, there has never been such a humble and courteous reception from a Jindan monk; genuine sincerity.

In fact, every Jindan Patriarch in the cultivation world is an existence that can frighten one party, so their status is naturally extraordinary.

On weekdays, it is natural that Shenlong sees the head but does not see the end. Even if he shows up occasionally, he is quite arrogant. How can he be so polite to a group of foundation-building monks?

It is precisely because of this that the effect is excellent, and the friars who were still a group of stragglers and low morale just now suddenly became active.

These monks who were able to stay here in the end, all have been stationed on Lingdao for more than 50 years. At the last moment of his life, the previous master of Jindan Island would naturally explain some of the secret vaults of the explored Lingdao to these monks.

In this way, even if some monks become greedy, the losses caused are within the tolerable range. Judging from the current performance of the monks, the possibility of this happening is not too great.

"The predecessors who explored the spirit island left three secret treasure houses, and we will go to them immediately to select the treasures that are helpful to the spirit island." Since there are preserved treasures, Zhao Shoushou will not be polite.

On the one hand, it is to ensure that Lingdao has a certain self-protection ability in the first time. Over the years, the expedition team has offended and hunted not a few sea beasts. It just appeared, he didn't want to fall into the constant siege of Tier [-] sea beasts, so a Tier [-] island protection spirit array is indispensable.

The second aspect is for its own effect. Since it is not far away tens of thousands of sea miles, and it is in charge of exploring the Spirit Island at such a critical juncture, it is natural that it needs to get some rewards.

Since the three secret vaults can be valued by a mid-Gold Core cultivator, they naturally store certain third-tier treasures, and he will not be polite to them.

After all, for Zhao Shoushou, the most important thing is to improve his own cultivation. Since there are some treasures that can provide assistance, he will not be polite.

As for the reactions of these foundation-building cultivators, Zhao Shoushou is not too worried. After all, the relationship between him and Lingdao is one of prosperity and loss. higher and higher.

About half a day later, the surviving fifteen monks got busy according to their respective tasks after a period of simple treatment.
