Chapter 102: The Difficult Sharp-clawed Monkey Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Detection-type magical powers have no substantial combat effectiveness, and the inheritance is not very large. There are not many monks with this inheritance among casual cultivators.
One of the two monks with investigative powers was undoubtedly the monk named Geng, and the other turned out to be the monk named Lu who had been keeping quiet.
The detective power used by the man surnamed Geng is to turn the spiritual power in his body into a special pink mist with a hint of fragrance and spread it out in all directions, and the scope is getting wider and wider, not sparing any corner.
The monk surnamed Lu used a special method to condense the magic power in his Dantian into more than ten vivid butterflies, using this as a unique investigative perspective.
Both kinds of magical powers have their own strengths. The former is better at being careful and conscientious, while the latter is better at being responsive and fast, and can discover hidden enemies without even realizing it.
Of course, in the face of the current situation where unknown monsters may attack at any time, monk Lu's detection spells are obviously more effective.
Even Zhao Shoushou was still thinking that if there was a chance, he could try to talk to the monk named Lu and pay some price in exchange for a detection spell.
Among casual cultivators, as long as they don't involve spells inherited from direct lineages, as long as the price is right, everything is within the range of trade. I think the monk surnamed Lu will not refuse, of course, provided that the price he pays cannot be refused.
"Twelve first-level mid-level clawed monkeys are peeping three hundred feet ahead." As expected, monk surnamed Lu was the first to discover the whereabouts of the hidden monster.
The first-level mid-level sharp-clawed monkey has a vicious reputation, and the monks present knew it to some extent, so they did not show any signs of retreat or fear. Fatty Zhu Zhongsu even had a look of eagerness to try on his face.
Including the host of this trip, the man surnamed Geng, every monk has been immersed in the middle stage of the sixth level of Qi training for a long time, and has made serious preparations before, so they are very confident in their combat effectiveness.
They are willing to take risks to hunt the warblers, which are the best among the first-level mid-level monsters, not to mention they are only the first-level mid-level clawed monkeys, even though they have a certain advantage in terms of numbers.
The group of five monks had not had any interactions before, and they naturally knew nothing about their respective methods and abilities. If they were to fight the sharp-clawed monkeys, they would have better cooperation when facing the warblers.
"Whether to fight or retreat, we should make a decision early, but Lao Zhu wants to have a fight with these sharp-clawed monkeys. I heard that these guys like to collect ripe spiritual fruits." Zhu Zhongsu said pointedly.
.
"Zhao agrees that the battle with clawed monkeys can be used as an advance practice for dealing with warblers. What do you think?" Zhao Shoushou's suggestion was entirely out of public interest.
Of course, the final decision still has to be made by the man surnamed Geng. After all, he is the core of this temporary team and the organizer. There is no doubt that he has the right to make a final decision.
"A group of sharp-clawed monkeys is nothing to worry about. It is a good choice to use it as a touchstone. However, Geng will not help in this battle, and of course he will not participate in the distribution of the spoils." After thinking for a while, the man surnamed Geng finally agreed.
However, for some unknown reason, he was unwilling to participate in the battle. Zhao Shoushou had anticipated this situation in advance, but he was more sure after this trial.
Although the value of the first-order mid-grade warbler is high, it is not worth the four first-grade high-grade Essence Blood Pills. The man surnamed Geng’s purpose must be the first-grade high-grade black leaf lotus, the holy medicine for healing.
Of course, Zhao Shoushou would not make the above speculations public, he would just make himself more vigilant in battle in his mind, and he would be more careful when facing the warbler.
"Since Fellow Daoist Geng is unwilling to take action, I won't be polite. A few sharp-clawed monkeys are nothing to worry about." The four casual cultivators thought about it and were still willing to take action.
The mutual training is just a matter of chance. The real trump card and life-saving means will definitely not appear here. Their main goal is the spiritual fruit collected in the clawed monkey's lair.
Although the first-level mid-level sharp-clawed monkeys are an outlier among the monkey monsters, they have perfectly inherited the habit of eating all kinds of delicious fruits, and they only eat spiritual fruits with strong spiritual power.
This also means that everything they can collect is at least a first-order mid-grade spiritual fruit, and it would not be surprising if a first-order high-grade fruit appears.
"Zhi Zhi Zhi" The four monks had just reached a consensus. The sharp-clawed monkeys who had been hiding three hundred feet away could no longer bear their inner rage. Under the leadership of their leader, they launched an attack on the monks occupying their lair.
"Be careful, everyone, the sharp-clawed monkey is attacking." Zhu Zhongsu, who was short and round, showed a ferocious performance. He held a stone stick as big as a thigh in his hand and faced the leader of the sharp-clawed monkey and another strong sharp-clawed monkey head-on.
clawed monkey.
The remaining three monks, including Zhao Shoushou, naturally attacked each other. The monk surnamed Shi Du alone fought against the other two stronger clawed monkeys, while the monks surnamed Zhao Shoushou and Lu fought one against three, entangling the remaining ones respectively.
Sharp-clawed monkey.
Clawed monkeys are fierce by nature, but their biggest reliance is their strong body. For some unknown reason, they have not awakened their innate spells, so the difficulty of fighting is not too high.
Since the sharp-clawed monkey can gain a great reputation in the Purple Jade Mountains and occupy a stable territory, its combat power cannot be underestimated.
The three first-level mid-level clawed monkeys fighting against Zhao Shoushou were two in front and one in back. The two in front were particularly fierce. One on the left and one on the back had sharp claws that could break gold and break stone and struck directly at his vitals.
The one behind him used his natural agility to jump up and down and strike at an unexpected angle. This made him, who was fighting a clawed monkey for the first time, fall into an inexplicable confusion and difficulty in opening the battle.
As a monk with rich combat experience, Zhao Shoushou will naturally not be easily discouraged. The first-order mid-grade dragon ring sword flew up and down under his command, and the first-order mid-grade blue light shield turned into a stream of light to provide stronger protection.
.
The first-level mid-level water snakes who have always been the vanguard will naturally not fall behind. Unfortunately, their defense and attack power did not play a big role in this battle.
Before the power of the Water Snake Technique could be revealed, it was easily torn apart by three sharp-clawed monkeys, and turned back into a ball of water to nourish the earth.
The other three battle groups were also caught in a tangled battle, and it took a while to open up the situation. Especially the most courageous Zhu Zhongsu, who was already at a disadvantage under the attack of the two sharp-clawed monkeys.
Zhao Shoushou really couldn't understand why he hid his fighting power since he wanted to be in the limelight? Was it to make the monks present look down upon him?
As for the monk surnamed Geng who was watching the battle from the side but never made a move, the contempt in his eyes became even more obvious when he saw the battle situation that was difficult to determine the outcome at this moment.
In his opinion, if his fellow disciples who were both at the sixth level of Qi training took action, these clawed monkeys would be easy to catch. Why bother dealing with these useless casual cultivators if it was not a last resort?
"Hey, why don't you die?" At this moment, the sharp-clawed monkey who had been harassing and restraining Zhao Shoushou unexpectedly changed his fighting method of retreating in one strike. After being repelled by the green light shield, he launched a more ferocious attack at a faster speed.
