Practice begins with a fisherman

The difficulty of the substitute jade secret technique is not too high. The most difficult point is the raw material. It needs a third-rank top-grade dragon pattern ice crystal jade, which has never been found in any substantial way.

Before finding a suitable jade, the substitute jade secret technique can only be kept in the hands to wait for the right time in the future. It is in this alternation of busyness and leisure that ten years have passed by in a flash.

When Zhao Shoushou raised his cultivation to the peak of the seventh-level Golden Core, and was about to refine the spirit pill to hit the eighth-level Golden Core, the Dengwen Drum of the County Guard's Mansion was finally sounded.

The Dengwen Drum was set up outside the gate of the mansion, and it was usually protected by two yamen servants of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only monks above the Golden Core Stage had the qualifications and strength to ring it.

Whenever the Dengwen drum is sounded, it means that there are unexpected changes in the jurisdiction, and the county guards need to deal with them as soon as possible. This is also the main reason why the royal family set up county and county offices in various places.

"Who is here? Do you know the meaning of the Dengwen Drum? Is there anything that needs the Sheriff's Mansion to come forward?" In the front hall of the Sheriff's Mansion, Zhao Shoushou asked a scholar-like early Golden Core cultivator, who was beating the Dengwen Drum monk.

According to his thinking, because it is located in the hinterland of the Zhou and Song Kingdoms, there are not many famous mountains and rivers suitable for monster habitats. Generally speaking, there should not be too difficult problems. According to the records of the local chronicles, in the past hundred years All of them are quite stable.

"Zhang Pengwu of the Zhang family in Xuanshui County met the county guard. Three days ago, the Zhang family's fleet carried a batch of precious wood and came to the county to trade. They were ambushed by a large number of water attribute monsters on the water, and the fleet sank. Under the fighting of the two elders of the family, Pengwu saved his life and successfully broke through, and asked the county guard to dispatch a patrol to kill the demons." Zhang Pengwu had just finished speaking and handed over a paper with a seal on it.

Qishui is the river that runs through Qiwu County. There are a large number of spiritual fields and farmland opened up on both sides of it. It can be called the mother river of Qiwu County. Not only a large number of mortals need to rely on it to live, but it is also important for monks. Indispensable, there must be no changes here.

As for the pleading paper with the seal of personal mana, it is a must after beating the Dengwen drum, and it is also a proof of monk status. Demon beheaded.

Chapter 705

"Three third-tier middle-grade water monsters, four third-tier low-grade water monsters, and more than five hundred second-tier water monsters. This is really a large group of black water fish." The paper has a clear definition of the number of water monsters. According to the description, after getting an understanding of the blackwater fish group, the pimple on the brow became more and more prominent.

Blackwater fish is a kind of monster with a wide distribution range. It does not have high requirements for the waters where it thrives. As long as it has a stable supply of spiritual power, it can embark on the road of cultivation and become a kind of monster.

And this kind of monster is an omnivorous creature, as long as it contains spiritual power, it can be imported, including the mud at the bottom of the water, and its natural pursuit of spiritual power is quite abnormal.

Zhao Shoushou also relied on catching some blackwater fish in exchange for some low-grade spirit stones to maintain his cultivation during the initial stage of his cultivation.

However, although their distribution range is wide, because of the shackles of physical talent, it is not easy to improve their own strength level, mainly first-level monsters.

In addition, because of their weak combat effectiveness, blackwater fish generally become a must-have item in some low-end spiritual food, and many monks will raise some.

This is also where Zhao Shoushou has always been puzzled. Since the combat power is so weak, even if there are some groups of black water fish monsters, how can they destroy a fleet?

The Zhang family in Xuanshui County makes a living by selling and cultivating various spirit trees. There are eight Golden Core monks sitting in the township. Every time they go out to sell spirit trees, there are at least three Golden Core stage monks sitting in the township.

In the face of the attack of blackwater fish, even if they cannot win and repel them, it should be safe to ensure the safety of the fleet. Why is the whole army wiped out?Only one Jindan early stage monk escaped with his life?Could it be that blackwater fish in the Central Plains cultivation world will also mutate?

Or is there something hidden in it that Zhao Shoushou doesn't know clearly, or is it that Zhang Pengwu, a monk at the early stage of Jindan, didn't describe something that he deliberately concealed?

Questions hovered in my mind but quickly got out of my mind, but exterminating the blackwater fish school as soon as possible is a matter that must be resolved without delay.

At present, there are five hundred members of the patrol team in the county barracks, including five small leaders at the early stage of Golden Core, a county magistrate at the late stage of Golden Core, and a county lieutenant at the late stage of Golden Core, but they are being expelled by him. I haven't shown up for ten years, and I don't know where to cultivate.

Low-level monks have sufficient quantity and quality advantages, but Zhao Shoushou is now focusing on the number of third-level monsters.

Four third-tier low-grade blackwater fish should be surrounded and killed by the five Golden Core early stage fish belonging to the patrol team. Three third-tier middle-grade blackwater fish, Zhao Shoushou can deal with two of them alone, and the remaining one. Two cormorants can also be barely entangled.

As a result, the monks did not leave any reserve forces. For a group of blackwater fish, who can be sure whether they will still attack with all their strength in the last time?

However, in the absence of definite evidence, one cannot rashly invite a county magistrate who was a servant to help him. After all, this is only the first test for him after taking office.

Following the annihilation of the entire Zhang family's fleet, news about this group of black water fish monsters living in the water has been spread at an unprecedented speed. reaction.

As the acting county guard, the real power of the county magistrate naturally has the full strength to recruit in the city, but the large-scale recruitment has not started before the official battle, which will have a big impact on his future prestige. After all, what is really important in the cultivation world is still It is the strength of a monk.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. This group of blackwater fish is both a crisis and an opportunity. Instead of thinking about it here, it's better to go and try it out. Regardless of success or failure, it will be beneficial to the follow-up actions." After a quarter of an hour, with A communication talisman flew out, and all patrol members quickly assembled.

An hour later, he took five spirit boats down the Qishui and went straight to the place where the Zhang family's fleet fought fiercely with the blackwater fish. They behaved quite decisively and without any hesitation.

Among the fleet, the only extra monk was Zhang Pengwu, the early Jindan who asked for help from the Sheriff's Mansion, and he was considered a living force.

"The strength of the blackwater fish monster group should not be underestimated. Has your lord ever issued a call-up order to the various sects?" Zhang Pengwu showed a puzzled look on his face.

"It's just some bad blackwater fish, and the Dao soldiers formed by the patrol team are enough to eradicate them." No matter how disturbed he was, Zhao Shoushou was quite calm on the surface, as if a mountain collapsed before him. Instead of changing the expression of discoloration.

"But, what if there are more monsters at the bottom of the water?" Zhang Pengwu seemed terrified in the past battle.

"Fellow daoist, are you a little timid? Since you haven't encountered it in the last battle, why do you say that?" Pressing every step of the way, he asked sharply.

From the county city to the place where the Zhang family's fleet was destroyed last time, they basically went downstream, and after half an hour, they had already arrived at the predetermined location.

A day and a night have passed, and it is still not difficult to see the fierce battle at that time, a large number of sawdust floating on the water surface, and there are still bursts of clear and audible stench floating in the air.

From time to time, there is a black water fish that is constantly devouring the minced meat and blood drops on the sea surface, hoping to refine the spiritual power in it and increase its strength.

These black water fish are all of the first-level low-level fish who have just embarked on the road of cultivation. Zhao Shoushou doesn't pay attention to them. Only some soldiers from the patrol team killed them one by one, and soon a brand-new bloody smell became stronger. It's getting richer.

What is quite strange is that the main force of the blackwater fish that planned to ambush the Zhang family's fleet here has never appeared, just like they have never appeared here.

"The first patrol team went out to catch fish" had expected this situation long ago, only to hear Zhao Shoushou yell, and the cultivator on the first spirit ship threw out a large net and dropped it straight to the bottom of the water. There are bursts of spiritual light flickering above.

This large net is specially equipped by the Sheriff's Mansion to catch some water attribute monsters that are good at hiding their bodies.

It is impossible for the huge group of blackwater fish to disappear out of thin air. At most, they found a flotilla of monks coming, hiding in the mud at the bottom of the water.

As long as there are not too many problems in this net, at least a hundred or so second-order blackwater fish can be caught, which will have an obvious auxiliary effect on the follow-up battle.

"Chirp" may be that the big net that sank to the bottom of the water has already gained something, or it may be that this behavior directly affects the prestige of the leader of the black water fish.

Before the big net was raised to the surface of the water, two low-grade blackwater fish of the third rank, whose whole body was pitch-black but with two obvious golden lines on their abdomens, hit them directly.

The appearance of these two third-tier low-grade blackwater fishes seemed to be the prelude to this battle. The blackwater fishes, who were hiding somewhere, jumped out of the water one after another and used their own methods to cast different spells. The spirit ship attacked and left.

Chapter 706 Battle against the Blackwater Fish Group

These blackwater fish were completely different from the state of the stragglers before. They were divided into five during the attack, and under the leadership of their respective third-rank low-rank leaders, they all surrounded the spirit boats on which the five patrols were riding.

This way of fighting is no stranger to them. They used similar methods before to sink the Zhang family's fleet by surprise.

Facing different enemies, it is difficult to achieve the same effect with the same fighting method. The strength of the county patrol team may not have obvious advantages over the various sects and families.

However, the members of the patrol team are rich in experience. Their duty is to exterminate all kinds of monsters that make trouble in the county. They are obviously very experienced in predicting the attacks of monsters. It's not too prominent, as long as you deal with it properly and don't panic, it won't cause too much loss.

The moment the blackwater fish jumped out of the water, the members of the patrol team who had been prepared for a long time sacrificed the spear-shaped spiritual weapon and magic weapon in their hands at the same time, and fell firmly into the fish school. At least two hundred of them were killed by this blow. The second-order black water fish fell.

This method is only suitable for the first strike. As the follow-up battles continued to heat up, the monks began to suffer obvious losses. Whenever the corpses of some fallen monks fell into the water, it would cause a lot of black blood. In the competition between water fish, taking monks as blood food is also something that they cannot refuse.

Zhao Shoushou, the leader, didn't take the battle between the two sides to heart. He stood on the water all the time, as if he was quietly waiting for something.

The patrol soldiers who were fighting fiercely didn't have any opinions. They understood that this was a confrontation between the leaders of the two sides. It was because of Zhao Shoushou's existence that the three third-tier middle-grade blackwater fish never appeared.

The patrol team and the black water fish seemed to be fighting fiercely, but in the end they only played a supporting role. What really decided the outcome was the battle between the leaders of the two sides.

With the passage of time, the number of casualties of black water fish and patrol soldiers is in a state of continuous increase. Zhao Shoushou, who has been standing on the surface of the water and waiting with his eyes closed, suddenly emits a ray of light, and flicks two A cormorant flew out to the northwest.

The water control gun shot a cold light, and went straight ahead. The Sanshengzhu formed a large net and fell behind. Almost at the same time, three third-order middle-grade blackwater fish jumped out of the water, each from a different The direction hit Zhao Shoushou's position, and the ones before that were their respective innate spiritual skills.

His current cultivation base is at the seventh level of the Golden Core. In a one-on-one battle, he can easily kill the black water fish. One-on-two can win, but he needs to pay some price and enough time. One-on-three can only remain undefeated .

The cultivation of the two third-tier low-grade cormorants was slightly lower, but the advantage was that they were born with a certain restraint effect on blackwater fish, and there was no problem in using two-on-one to entangle one of them.

Throwing away a black-water fish and fighting with two cormorants, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while, Zhao Shoushou just wholeheartedly shot at the remaining two black-water fish that pinched back and forth.

The attacking power of the two magic weapons and the power of the black water fish's innate spirit technique annihilated each other, but he took this opportunity to leap forward suddenly. The water spirit power gathered quickly, forming two water power vortices in the center of the palm.

Under Zhao Shoushou's control, he slapped the blackwater fish from the front from left to right, obviously determined to kill its vital forces first.

In fact, this choice has already been shown at the moment of his shot. The Three Lives Pearl is a magic weapon that is relatively good at defense. Since it has given its back to protect, everything is naturally planned and arranged in advance.

When Zhao Shoushou and the black water fish attacking in front of him faced each other and collided head-on, the two water spirits formed between the left and right hands respectively The force vortex turned into two long thin lines and quickly wound around the sides of the black water fish.

This is not an ordinary silk thread, it ignores the defense of the blackwater fish skin, and cuts straight to the inside of its body with a special force.

With the support of continuous mana, the water control gun completely defeated the vortex of water spit out by the black water fish, and then from another direction, it turned into a jet-black streamer and stabbed fiercely at the right side of the fish's belly. and go.

This series of attacks may be able to withstand some monsters who are good at defense or physical combat, with a little thought or a small price, and it is possible to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

But everything is not hypothetical. The opponent Zhao Shoushou is facing this time is a black water fish, and the one who bears these blows is also a black water fish with a weak body and a weaker combat power in the same level.

Moreover, the one who carried out all these active attacks was a Jindan late-stage cultivator whose strength was far superior to it, so the outcome of all this had naturally been determined long ago.

After Zhao Shoushou chopped off the huge head of the black water fish in front of him, the second black water fish behind him finally broke through the barrier of the Three Lives Bead.

Perhaps it was feeling the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox after the death of his companion, or it had been accumulating energy for a long time, and it hit his back fiercely with lightning speed.

A pair of densely packed teeth left an obvious red mark on its body, which soon turned black, exuding a stench.

"Sure enough, there is a certain degree of mutation, and there is even a certain amount of toxin." After resisting the dizziness for a while, Zhao Shoushou quickly returned to normal.

I don't know when his resistance to various toxins has been in a process of rapid improvement. Blackwater fish is not a strong toxin, and it hasn't caused a substantial impact on him.

Of course, this collision was not useless, Zhao Shoushou felt that all internal organs were almost shifted, and a mouthful of bruised blood spurted out involuntarily.

"There is a way to heaven if you don't go, there is no way to hell to come in. If you escape at the first time, there may be no way. Since it is delivered to your door, today it should be a trophy for standing up in Qiwu County. The Yin knife" Zhao Shoushou endured Turning around in severe pain, he sacrificed a third-rank top-grade treasure talisman, and a cyan light blade flashed out.

This light blade directly passed through the body of the black water fish. At the first moment, the black water fish was still alive and kicking. It made people produce a kind of treasure charm that did not play its due role, just like buying it at a high price. It's like a fake.

Zhao Shoushou, on the other hand, was full of confidence. He didn't even pay any attention to the approaching blackwater fish. He turned around and attacked the last third-tier middle-grade blackwater fish that was fighting with two cormorants. A stormy attack.

However, when the black water fish attacked by Yin Jie Dao was a few feet away from him, a silvery-white light suddenly shot out from all over its body, as if to swallow it whole.

Chapter 707

Surrounded by white light, the whole body of the blackwater fish dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye. After three or five breaths, there was only a piece of fish skin that did not contain any vitality on the water surface.

This scene made the monks on the scene gasp. The black water fish monsters that were nearby immediately spread to the surroundings, as if they were frightened to a certain extent.

The Jieyin Knife is specially designed to retain vitality. Once it is hit, it will be stripped of vitality to different degrees due to its different degrees. It is precisely this fish monster that foolishly charged straight up, almost merging its entire body into it, allowing the power of the treasure talisman to strike at once. The sex is all out.

Compared with beheading in a frontal battle, this kind of weird method is obviously more deterrent. For a while, it even frightened the stupid fish monster with lagging brain power and retreated endlessly.

Under the same circumstances, the cultivator's adaptation to the situation is obviously better. In the stalemate battlefield, the five patrol teams, under the command of their respective captains, immediately seized the opportunity and sacrificed their lives. Using their own means of suppressing the bottom of the box, they killed the fish demon present again.

The last third-tier middle-grade blackwater fish was already at a disadvantage under the siege and talent restraint of two third-tier low-grade cormorants. With Zhao Shoushou's joining, he quickly lost his resistance and became a monk. Loot in hand.

"Wan Sheng Wan Sheng Wan Sheng" saw three third-tier middle-grade black water fish monsters fall into the hands of Jun Cheng at different times and places. The victory was in sight for a while, and the morale was greatly boosted. Yu Yong waved the spiritual weapon in his hand Make the last wave of harvest to the Fish Demon.

However, these monks did not realize that after winning the victory and beheading the last fish demon, not only did Zhao Shoushou not relax at all, but the expression on his face became more and more serious.

Because with the fall of the last third-tier middle-grade fish demon, he clearly sensed a more powerful aura approaching quickly.

Judging from the current situation, it can be basically judged that the person who came should also be a member of the Blackwater Fish Demon, but his aura is stronger, and he can clearly feel that he is obviously stronger than him, and he should be a third-rank top-rank peak It is close to the existence of a fourth-order monster.

"No wonder you have the guts to attack and destroy the Zhang family's fleet. It turns out that this is the real confidence. It devours a lot of blood and eats spiritual wood, refines enough spiritual power from it, and takes the opportunity to hit the bottleneck and try to advance to the fourth level. Unfortunately, it is too late after all. One step forward," Zhao Shoushou whispered to himself, and at the same time felt a little lucky in his heart.

Blackwater fish are omnivorous monsters, they can easily refine the spiritual power contained in various spiritual trees little by little, so as to realize the sublimation of life.

If the incident of the Zhang family's fleet had never happened, a fourth-rank low-grade fish demon would appear in the water after a while.

Tier [-] and Tier [-] are two completely different concepts. After being successfully promoted, although the combat power of the Blackwater Fish Demon is still at the bottom of this level, the difficulty of hunting it will be significantly improved .

Tier [-] monsters are already comparable to Nascent Soul stage monks. In addition to their own combat power, their intelligence and speed will also have a significant increase. When they know that they are not opponents, they will definitely choose to escape first.

In the battle between the Nascent Soul monks, it is not difficult to defeat the opponent, but the difficulty of hunting is quite high. Every Nascent Soul monk or fourth-order monster, while the cultivation base is promoted, a new one is born The Nascent Soul who was born will understand a method to save his life.

The forms of the means are different, all of which are naturally generated according to the innate characteristics of the monks or monsters, whether it is escape, or attack, or some auxiliary means, in short, there will be an obvious one in a certain aspect promote.

Once it is cast, Nascent Soul monks or fourth-order monsters are likely to open the gap and escape, unless they can prepare in advance according to the opponent's talent.

However, if a fourth-order fish demon appeared within the scope of Qiwu County, not to mention how harmful it would be, it was only the royal family's investigation, and it was not something that a small county magistrate could bear.

The sect affiliated to Qiwu County seems to be very honest and obedient on weekdays. Once there is a situation that threatens its own interests, it will definitely report to the imperial city as soon as possible.

"If Zhao is promoted to the fourth rank, he can only retreat for a long time, but it is a pity that he has not taken the last step, controlling the water gun, order" everything happened in the midst of lightning flashes, when the third-rank top-rank black water fish demon came out of the water At the same time, the magic weapon for controlling the water gun also appeared at the same time and at the same location, just like the black water fish monster slamming into the door on its own initiative.

Such a fighter, as a qualified monk, naturally would not let it go easily. Two third-tier top-grade thunder beads came from left and right.

The two thunder beads are all monks with the lightning attribute in the late stage of Jindan, and they are made by condensing the sky thunder little by little with a special technique and injecting it into it.

Each thunder bead is equivalent to three years of work of a Jindan late-stage monk, and it can be regarded as one of his trump cards. The thunder beads will be sacrificed at the beginning of the battle, naturally for the sake of a quick victory.

If another third-rank top-grade black water fish demon with a similar cultivation base appeared among the fish, Zhao Shoushou could only choose to flee.

The thunder attribute is the most lethal in the same level, and the black water fish demon's combat power is weak. With the addition and subtraction of the two canceling each other out, there is really no reason to fail.

What's more, the one rushing to the front is still the water control gun, and the only ancient treasure in his hand, the ground-breaking blade, is already ready to go, and when the right fighter appears, he will definitely launch the strongest attack.

Following the contact between the thunder beads and the ancestor of the black water fish, a burst of flickering thunder burst out, and the second-order fish monsters that were besieging the spirit ship were all affected to a certain extent. After spreading and weakening through the water surface, there were still some that were slightly weaker. Under the stimulation of Lei Guang, the fish demon lost the power to resist.

The ancestor of the third-order high-grade fish was blocked in front, and when the lightning burst out from the left and right sides, his skin and flesh were scorched black, and bursts of white smoke and a faint smell of meat spread over the water.

He died before leaving the army, and the menacing Yu Zuzong had not yet shown his combat effectiveness, and had already been severely injured by the serial explosions of Leizhu.

The use of this series of methods is of great benefit to Zhao Shoushou's foothold in Qiwu County. After all, as the fierce battle between the two sides continues, there are already quite a few monks watching the battle on both sides of Qishui. The later stage and the early stage of Jindan are the main ones.

They will continuously transmit the changes here back to their respective sects and families, and another obvious benefit of focusing on these monks is that because of their low cultivation base, they can avoid the on-site call-up orders of the county magistrates, and they have a pair of Perfect plan.

After Zhao Shoushou killed the three third-tier middle-grade black water fish monsters with his own power, and successfully injured the last third-tier top-grade fish ancestor, the number of communication talismans in the air suddenly increased a lot.
