Practice begins with a fisherman

About half an hour later, with Zhao Shoushou's assistance, ten first-tier middle-grade clawed monkeys were wiped out, and none of them escaped the attack of the four crazy casual cultivators.

Of the four casual cultivators, the most miserable one was naturally Zhu Zhongsu who volunteered. The leader of the clawed monkey saw the sons under his command beheaded one by one. At the last moment of his life, the sharp claws suddenly left his body and tore two pieces off his body. Fist-sized fat, bleeding for a while.

However, under the treatment of some good healing elixir, the blood flow stopped quickly after a simple bandage, and it is easy to treat simple trauma in the cultivation world.

"The lair of these clawed monkeys is here, 12 first-tier middle-grade spiritual fruits, and two first-tier top-grade spiritual fruits." The voice of the monk surnamed Shi, who had been silent all this time, came appropriately.

The 12 first-order middle-grade spiritual fruits are mainly Qiuxiang jujube and loquat fruit. The effects of the two kinds of spiritual fruits are almost the same. They are all spiritual fruits that contain rich spiritual power. pieces.

The two first-grade top-grade spirit fruits are both first-grade top-grade vitality fruits, which can be used to replenish blood energy. In the end, Zhao Shoushou bought them at a price of 40 yuan for each low-grade spirit stone.

"Zhao loves the deliciousness of all kinds of spiritual fruits on weekdays. Are you willing to sell the spiritual fruits in the hands of fellow Taoists? How about 15 yuan for each low-grade spirit stone?" He was still unwilling to share two first-order high-grade spirit stones alone. , and set his mind on the remaining nine first-tier middle-grade spirit fruits.

Although Qiuxiang jujube and loquat fruit taste delicious, they are only worth 13 yuan as a low-grade spirit stone in Fangshi. Under the temptation of his high price, all the spirit fruits are collected after a cup of tea.

Chapter 104 The Uncrossable River

The reason why Zhao Shoushou bought the spiritual fruit at a high price was not purely for its delicious taste, but his goal was another function of the spiritual fruit.

We all know that spirit fruit can be taken as a panacea to help improve cultivation. Thanks to the docile spiritual power in the spirit fruit, when mana is consumed too much in battle, it can also be used as a panacea to restore mana, but the effect is slightly less effective. It's just a waste.

The reason why his idea came to Lingguo was mainly because the spirit pill that can quickly restore cultivation in battle was too scarce, and he hadn't bought it several times before he set off.

This includes that Fatty Jia, who in his opinion has some means, can't do anything about it. This is also the reason why he strongly supports the fight when the clawed monkey appears.

Qi refining period monks have a common feature, the mana in the dantian is poor in quality and insufficient in quantity, and it is easy to encounter embarrassing scenes of mana exhaustion in some fierce battles.

It can be expected that the battle with the Tier [-] mid-grade Yingtiao Beast must be fierce and cruel, and it is also a good choice to prepare some spiritual fruits in advance.

As for the trophies on the clawed monkey, only a pair of sharp claws can be seen. In the future, find a suitable refiner and add some materials to refine it into a first-level middle-grade flying claw weapon, but for the four present For casual cultivators, the focus is obviously not on it.

A quarter of an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up, and all valuable treasures were taken away, which fully demonstrated the professionalism of casual cultivators in this area.

An hour later, after some simple rest, a group of five people embarked on the journey to the territory of Yingti Beast again, but as they went deeper into the Ziyu Mountains, even the always proud monk Geng began to be cautious.

After all, this place already belongs to the outer depths of the Purple Jade Mountains, and the weakest monsters that come across are the best of the first-tier mid-tier, and the cruel reality can't help them to be willful.

"Fellow Daoist Geng, this is already deep in the outer reaches of the Purple Jade Mountain Range. If you continue to move forward, you may step into the territory of a first-rank high-grade monster. Maybe you will reveal the exact location of the Yingqi Beast?" On the evening of the second day At that time, the monk surnamed Lu was the first to ask impatiently.

"Since the four of us have taken the risk to follow Your Excellency to this place, we will naturally not give up easily. Should Fellow Daoist Geng trust us a little or two?" The monk surnamed Shi followed closely behind.

"Although Zhu was hired by Essence Blood Pill, he naturally has the right to know when the trip has passed halfway and the danger level is getting higher and higher."

"Geng Daoyou is a disciple of the sect's great sect, but I am no match for casual cultivators. It is always good to make all preparations in advance." Zhao Shoushou also agreed.

Faced with the first joint interrogation by the four casual cultivators, the cultivator surnamed Geng knew that he could no longer hide, not to mention that he was not far from the nest of the Yingying Beast, so there was no need to hide.

"Even if the four fellow Taoists don't ask, Geng will announce the destination to the public. This place is very close to the nest of the Yingqi Beast. Please take a look." The monk surnamed Geng took out a map as soon as the words fell.

"Don't worry fellow daoists, we only need to move forward several hundred feet and cross a river to reach the place where the Yingcrying Beast is. In addition, although this place is already deep, it is still far enough away from the territory of the first-rank high-grade monster beast." distance" explained the monk surnamed Geng, wanting to break the worries in the hearts of the monks.

Under the confirmation of the map, although the four casual cultivators including Zhao Shoushou still had a lot of doubts in their hearts, they just made more comprehensive preparations in secret.

The monks present all knew that since the Yingcrowing Beast could occupy a stable territory in such a deep place, its combat power might be more difficult to deal with than what was described in some jade slips.

"I'm afraid this river is not easy to cross." Compared with other monks, Zhao Shoushou found a different way, and he was more worried about an inconspicuous river on the map.

A river that flows through the depths of the Ziyu Mountains must be occupied by monsters. The Yingti Beast can fly through the air with a pair of wings, but they can't do it. This must be a must for the group of five people. solved puzzles.

But he didn't say anything rashly, all of this is based on the current basis of speculation, not to mention that he doesn't have a better solution now.

At noon on the second day, five monks appeared in front of a wide river. The volume and velocity of the water far exceeded the original expectation, which made the four monks except Zhao Shoushou frown.

If it is a simple river, no matter how rough it is, it can be said that it is easy for the monks present to cross it, but none of the monks present are fools with insufficient intelligence.

Water is the source of life, no matter how powerful monsters or monks are, they cannot do without water. How can a river flowing through a place full of spiritual power not be occupied by water attribute monsters?

The most urgent thing now is to confirm the type, quantity and strength of the monsters entrenched in the river, which is not too difficult for the monks present.

The organizer and host, monk surnamed Geng, stepped forward first, took out a jet-black incense stick from the storage bag, and carefully placed it on the river bank.

"The first-grade middle-grade ecstasy incense can confuse monsters in a short period of time and arouse their ferocity." Zhu Zhongsu gasped, obviously this incense is not ordinary.

In fact, in the world of comprehension, there are strict requirements for the production of incense erosion, and a lot of precious spiritual materials need to be invested. Every step needs to be produced in strict accordance with the inheritance. The incense maker is also a profession that can earn a lot of spiritual stones. .

"Sisi, Houhou" With the igniting of the black ecstasy incense, waves began to appear on the originally calm water surface, and huge monsters appeared in front of the monks.

"I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. If I jumped into it without knowing it, wouldn't Zhu's fat body be gone forever?" Seeing such a scene, Zhu Zhong, who is famous for his boldness Plastic is very fortunate.

"The first-tier mid-grade diamond crocodile, with indestructible crocodile skin, lives in the river in the form of a group, has a strong sense of territory, and will never die in the face of strange intruders." There is also a rare sadness on the face of the monk surnamed Geng .

This place is not far from the nest of the warbling beast. If the battle is a little louder, it is very likely that these cute little guys will be alarmed.

Faced with this situation, the best solution is naturally to pass through quietly through a spirit ship of the first-order mid-grade or above with reliable quality and good breath-holding function.

Therefore, the eyes of the four casual cultivators all turned to the monk surnamed Geng without hesitation, and they must not expect that the casual cultivators who are extremely embarrassed and unable to make ends meet have such a luxury as a spirit ship.

"Geng doesn't have a spirit ship by his side. If the flying magic weapon is available, it can solve the current problem," the monk surnamed Geng said in a low voice.

"The sky is dominated by warbling beasts. If we encounter any kind of flying monsters while crossing the river, we will have no power to fight back, and we will die," Zhao Shoushou resolutely refused.

On the ground of the Purple Jade Mountains, they still have the power to fight monsters. If they are in the air, unless they are monks in the foundation stage, they can only fly the targets of monsters.

Chapter 105 Hunting the Diamond Crocodile

As long as a monk with a little common sense will not touch this well-known iron law, from this aspect, it is obvious that the pretendingly arrogant monk surnamed Geng is not often wandering outside.

"The width of this river is about 15 meters. Can you try to build a pontoon bridge for us to pass like ordinary people?" Brother Lu made another seemingly feasible suggestion.

"Ordinary people build pontoon bridges just to avoid the current, not to mention ordinary trees, even if they are hard century-old iron wood, they can't withstand a blow in front of these guys." The monk surnamed Shi strongly objected.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do? Is it necessary to find another detour?" Zhu Zhongsu expressed his urgency.

"This river has a wide basin, and its length is also not small. Don't mention the detours again. If you fellow Taoists have good strategies, please don't hesitate to let me know." The monk surnamed Geng showed unprecedented humility because of his request.

"Someone has a stupid way. I once saw a description of the first-order middle-grade diamond crocodile in a jade slip. They have a special liking for the first-order middle-grade stinky fox. If they can hunt the stinky fox, Using his flesh and blood as a guide, he will be able to lure these terrifying big guys to the shore and wipe them out one by one." A stupid but effective method appeared in front of everyone.

Of course, as Zhao Shoushou said, this is a veritable stupid method that requires enough patience and time, but it is better to be safe.

The reason why the first-order middle-grade diamond crocodile can firmly occupy a territory deep in the Ziyu Mountains is because of its flexible body shape and combat effectiveness in the water.

If they leave the water, most of their sensitive reaction speed will disappear first. As long as the number is not too large, it will take three to five days at least, and ten and a half months at most, and they will be able to cross the river in front of them safely.

As for the first-order middle-grade stinky foxes, they are a special kind of fox-like mutant monsters. They are covered with smell glands and exude a distinct smell. Except for some monsters with special flavors, they basically have no natural enemies.

The fighting power of the stinky fox itself is relatively weak, relying on its sensitive body to make a living in the Ziyu Mountains, its most powerful trick is to expel the odor accumulated in the body at one time in a critical moment.

If it makes people dizzy without preparation, the stinky fox will take advantage of this opportunity to escape. Of course, this special smell does not have much lethality.

"Zhao Daoyou is really knowledgeable and talented. Such unpopular news is easy to come by. I have dealt with stinky foxes before. As long as you are careful and hunt them, there will be no problem." The first person to speak in favor was a monk surnamed Geng.

In the absence of a better solution, a group of five people quickly reached a consensus. Cultivator surnamed Geng led Zhu Zhongsu and Cultivator surnamed Lu to hunt and kill first-tier middle-grade stinky foxes. Zhao Shoushou and monk surnamed Shi chose a suitable location to prepare for the arrangement. The first-order middle-grade quadrilateral upside-down array.

The formation flag was naturally provided by the rich and powerful monk surnamed Geng. According to the plan, the first-level middle-grade stinky fox flesh was used as bait to introduce the first-level middle-grade diamond crocodile into the formation.

On the one hand, it can prevent the crocodile from escaping, on the other hand, the formation can prevent the sound of the battle from spreading, and the last point is that finding the battle in the formation will not cause more riots of the crocodile.

Zhao Shoushou supported and encouraged Zhao Shoushou to hunt the first-tier middle-grade diamond crocodile. He had long been fascinated by the crocodile skin with its amazing defensive power.

After these crocodile skins are processed by special means, they can be used to make exquisite robes, which is equivalent to another layer of powerful protection in addition to defensive magic weapons.

Of course, some spiritual materials are added. Using diamond crocodile skin as the main raw material, it can also be refined into a good first-tier mid-level defensive magic weapon. In short, it can be said to be very useful and the most valuable trophy. The monk could not refuse.

In addition, the blood of the diamond crocodile has a weak spirit-gathering effect, which is an excellent material for making talisman ink, and the blood essence from its heart is even more valuable.

In short, each diamond crocodile can be exchanged for at least 20 yuan of low-grade spirit stones. For casual cultivators, it can be regarded as a monster with high value, but it is also difficult to hunt and kill.

If fighting alone in the river with the diamond crocodile, a monk at the sixth level of qi training is not sure of victory, even if he wants to hunt and kill it on the shore, he still needs to pay some price.

This is also the reason why Zhao Shoushou's stupid suggestion was unanimously supported by all the monks present. The five people in the group were all excited about the spoils of the diamond crocodile.

"It's better to be famous than to meet. This stinky fox really deserves its name, and Lao Zhu will never forget this taste." Not long after the formation arrangement was completed, Zhu Zhongsu's rough voice had already appeared.

"How could the diamond crocodile eat this kind of flesh? It's an eye-opener." The monk surnamed Lu was also very puzzled.

Under the leadership of the monk surnamed Geng, he successfully hunted and killed five first-rank middle-grade stinky foxes, big and small. Now everything is ready, and the hunt for the golden crocodile is about to start.

After "Roar" deliberately dripped some stinky fox blood on the river, soon a diamond crocodile with a body length of more than five feet and a diameter of more than one foot, with a special layer of light reflected on the crocodile skin, slowly climbed up the bank. .

After searching and confirming that there is no danger, he slowly crawled towards the upside-down formation along the smell of the stinky fox's blood, dripping saliva all the way.

Although the first-tier middle-grade diamond crocodiles live in the same river, they are actually monsters that live independently. Each diamond crocodile has its own territory, and even these diamond crocodiles will constantly fight among themselves.

Therefore, the first ones to appear on the shore must be the strongest among the crocodiles. Among the group of monsters who believe in strength as king, only the strongest are eligible to enjoy the delicious feast, although what appeared today was just a trap.

"Four-square upside-down formation, start" When the strong King Kong crocodile arrived at the core of the formation and was about to enjoy the delicious food close at hand, only monk surnamed Geng yelled, and with a flash of light, the four-way upside-down formation was officially launched.

The Vajra Crocodile, who was preparing to feast on the array, felt that after a sudden earthquake, the delicious food in front of him disappeared without a trace. Naturally, with its poor IQ, it would not understand the true meaning of the array, but it did Does not affect its violent temper.

"Roar" only heard the angry roar of the diamond crocodile, struggling to move the strong and powerful lower limbs under the abdomen, and slammed forward.

At the same time, streams of water flowed out of thin air under its control, and even the first-order middle-grade square upside-down array couldn't stop this. These streams of water condensed into water crocodiles, and under the control of the diamond crocodile, they rushed forward regardless of their bodies.

When the water crocodile formed by these water streams is about to run out of power, it will choose to self-destruct without hesitation, and the violent explosions will cause the formation to shake violently.

"The strength of the Vajra Crocodile far exceeds expectations. Fellow Daoists attack together and kill it as soon as possible, so as not to cause any damage to the Four Square Inverted Formation." The heartbroken roar of monk Geng reached the ears of the four casual cultivators.

Chapter 106: Seeing the Weeping Beast for the First Time

It is self-evident that the importance of the first-level mid-level four-square upside-down formation in the hunting of the diamond crocodile is self-evident. Naturally, the four casual cultivators will not just watch the diamond crocodile show its lust and wanton destruction.

Therefore, after hearing the angry roar of the monk surnamed Geng, the four casual cultivators looked at each other, each sacrificed their favorite first-order middle-grade magic weapon, and jointly attacked the monster magic weapon in the formation for the first round.

Zhao Shoushou's first-grade mid-grade dragon ring broadsword, Zhu Zhongsu's first-grade mid-grade stone stick, monk Lu's first-grade mid-grade exquisite spear, monk Shi's first-grade mid-grade mountain-opening axe, and monk Geng's offering a Handle a middle-grade gentleman's sword.

The five Qi-training sixth-level monks were not easy-going people, and now they were even more powerful when they shot together. Five first-level middle-grade magic weapons fell on the body of the Vajra Crocodile from different directions almost at the same time.

As a local overlord-level monster, the Diamond Crocodile's fighting instinct is naturally not inferior. When five first-level middle-grade magical artifacts appear, a fierce counterattack is inevitable.

The diamond crocodile raised its head and rushed forward, biting the exquisite spear attacking from the front with its sharp and strong teeth, and its powerful tail flashed and hit the side of the mountain ax accurately, making it just dodge the diamond crocodile's vitals.

Zhao Shoushou's envoy's dragon-ring sword and monk Geng's Gentleman's Sword, with hundreds of phantoms flashing, were entangled by the fearless water crocodile. In the end, the only attack that landed on the diamond crocodile's back was a lone stone stick.

The first-grade middle-grade stone stick is valued by Zhu Zhongsu, and its power is naturally the best among magic weapons of the same level. When it landed on the back of the diamond crocodile, it was blocked by bursts of water and the hard crocodile armor. cause too much damage to it.

"As expected of the famous diamond crocodile, this leather armor really lives up to its reputation. Today Zhao will definitely skin you and others, and break the dragon ring with a big sword." Seeing this situation, Zhao Shoushou knew that he could not continue to procrastinate, and must use some powerful methods in actual combat. , kill it as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhao Shoushou made up his mind and let out a sharp shout. The first-tier middle-grade dragon ring sword that was originally entangled with the water crocodile shot out a cold light, and its power doubled. It immediately split the water crocodile into pieces of water spray. It chopped on the back of the diamond crocodile, leaving a deep bone wound.

The remaining three monks had a tacit understanding. The incomparable power erupted from the first-order middle-grade magic weapon at the same time, each defeated the entanglement in front of them, and landed at the predetermined position.

The first-level middle-grade diamond crocodile is indeed powerful, but since the five qi-training sixth-level monks are aiming at the stronger first-level middle-grade Yingqi beast, they naturally have their own unique moves, and a diamond crocodile is far from their opponent.

Of course, if the diamond crocodiles appear in groups, they are the ones who need to retreat, but the habits of monsters have already doomed the diamond crocodiles in the river to be slaughtered one-sidedly.

After about a cup of tea, the Vajra crocodile fell into the upside-down formation. Under the ravages of five middle-grade magic weapons, it let out a roar and fell into the formation unwillingly.

The five monks fought more and less, except for a little mana consumption, there were no injuries on their bodies, and they didn't even show their faces in front of the diamond crocodile.

"The golden crocodile's whole body is full of treasures, and nothing can be wasted. After the spoils are collected, how about the final distribution?" Zhu Zhongsu is a veritable leader in cleaning the battlefield.

A low-grade small knife-like instrument specially used for skinning and deboning showed unprecedented flexibility in his hands, and soon a complete diamond crocodile had turned into pieces of crocodile meat, and all valuable parts were sorted and sorted.

"Old Zhu's skill of sweeping the battlefield with one hand is not easy to develop, it's really enviable." The perfect movement made the eyes of the monk surnamed Lu shine.

"I can't help it. A certain person is born to like this line of work. Practice makes perfect without inheritance." Zhu Zhongsu's face showed an unprecedented look of pride.

In the following days, a group of five people headed by monk surnamed Geng used this stupid but effective method to hunt and kill the first-tier mid-grade golden crocodile with the flesh and blood of the first-tier mid-grade stinky fox.

The process of hunting was not smooth sailing. Several times when the formation was activated a little later, the flesh and blood of the stinky fox had been devoured and became a delicacy in the belly of the adamantine crocodile, which led them to hunt new stinky foxes halfway.

However, there is not much danger in the hunting process, and a group of five people can be regarded as cooperating with each other. The most dangerous time is not that the diamond crocodile escaped from the formation by carelessness, but the result will not change. He fell after a brutal and inhuman beating.

This interesting and boring hunting process lasted a total of seven days, and the trophies of a total of [-] adamantine crocodiles were neatly placed by the river.

This day, no matter how they lured them with the flesh and blood of the first-rank mid-grade stinky fox, none of the adamantine crocodiles reappeared. Only now was the danger initially resolved, and they were only one step closer to the ultimate destination of the trip, the first-rank mid-grade Yingshou.

"The quality of the first crocodile skin ranks first, and it can be equal to three. The quality of the remaining twelve crocodile skins is almost the same. The Taoist who chooses the first one can only allocate one, and the remaining twelve are evenly distributed." Evaluation [-] After that, Zhu Zhongsu spoke bluntly.

Although every diamond crocodile is a first-tier middle-grade monster, the gap is not small. The quality of crocodile skins at the peak of the first-tier middle-grade is far from that of the crocodile that has just entered the first-tier middle-grade.

There was no surprise in the final distribution result. The disciple of the Zongmen, monk surnamed Geng, chose the first crocodile skin with the best quality, and the remaining four casual cultivators distributed it equally.

As for some other crocodile blood and crocodile meat, the monk surnamed Geng naturally looked down on them, and they were distributed equally among the four casual cultivators, and the rich harvest made the four of them smile.

Regardless of how difficult it is to deal with the first-tier mid-level Yingtiao Beast, the series of gains so far have far exceeded the usual gains.

"The first-tier mid-grade diamond crocodile has been wiped out. It's time to cross the river. A towering cliff not far from the opposite side is the nest of the Yingqi Beast. As long as it can be wiped out, Geng will never regret it. , Another hundred low-grade spirit stones are here." After reiterating the generous rewards again, monk surnamed Geng was the first to cross the river.

With the king crocodile in the river having been exterminated, there was no problem in crossing the river safely, even if there were still some monsters entrenched, it was not a cause for concern.

The monk surnamed Geng started, and after Zhao Shoushou finished, they had already set foot on the land on the other side after a cup of tea, and passed through the forest. A towering stone wall about [-] feet high and standing straight appeared in front of them. The old lair is also the destination of their trip.
