Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Eight: Twenty Years Long
With the fall of two second-level mid-level black water beasts, this battle is basically coming to an end. The remaining three black water beasts were originally comparable to two cormorants and a flower snake. The moment the leader fell, they were also
Morale dissipated.
After Zhao Shoushou tried his best to inspire the support of several second-level and low-level talisman seals, he finally achieved results one after another, each defeating a black water beast.
As for some first-order high-grade black water beasts equivalent to the Qi refining stage, they fell into the hands of the Jing family monks headed by Jing Yanfang early.
Compared with the previous fierce battles with various sea beasts in the open sea, this place is obviously more noisy, and there are many monks coming and going on the sea channel.
The monks who witnessed this thrilling battle were quite surprised when faced with such a tragic result and the reversal of the battle situation.
As monks who have lived overseas for generations, they are obviously more familiar with the situation of various sea beasts. Normally, a mid-stage foundation-building monk faces an ambush by a small group of black water beasts, which can be divided into two situations.
, the first one: opening a gap and breaking out alone; the second one: falling under the siege of sea beasts.
At the beginning of the battle, when Zhao Shoushou broke into the black water beast group alone, most of the monks were feeling regretful or gloating about his misfortune.
After all, no matter which outcome it is, it will be a serious blow to the majesty of a new island owner, and even the development of Hululing Island will be affected by it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he is indeed a person who has been able to roam the outer seas for decades. His murderous aura is truly astonishing."
"I originally thought that this Calabash Island was about to change its owner, but I never thought there would be such a reversal."
"When you encounter a neighbor who you think is so powerful, do you know whether it will be a disaster or a blessing in the future?"
The monks who had been observing the entire battle nearby, whether it was the Qi refining stage or the foundation building stage, did not hesitate to express their surprise and admiration.
Zhao Shoushou now looked miserable and bloody, with little fighting power left, but he was so powerful that he held a moon-breaking shovel and water forks floating around him.
"He Fangxiao, a young man, tries to instigate some ignorant sea beasts to attack Mr. Zhao. Isn't it fanciful? Do you have the courage to come out and fight to the death with Mr. Zhao?" I could only hear its thick and heroic voice spreading around.
Maybe he was hiding among the many monks, maybe he had disappeared long ago, but in short, no monk dared to appear in front of him until a stick of incense passed.
"Since fellow Taoist is unwilling to show up, these black water beasts should be regarded as gifts to someone. If anything is discovered, there will be a generous reward in the future. Let's leave today." Before the words were finished, a big step had already appeared on the spirit ship.
above.
Compared to the previous days when the monks of the Jing family were only based on their cultivation during the foundation-building period, now each and every one of them was truly dumbfounded and convinced.
I believe that from today on, the Jing family will truly recognize Zhao Shoushou as the new owner of Hulululing Island from top to bottom. Some perfunctory and other behaviors will gradually disappear, and the days of being able to give orders will not be too far away.
"Let's set off quickly and use the Calabash Spirit Island." He barely stabilized his mind and forced himself to stand on the spiritual ship, but secretly took a long-cherished healing elixir.
After a fierce battle with the black water beast this time, although Zhao Shoushou won the final victory, the price he paid was quite heavy.
The injuries on his body were much more serious than they appeared on the surface. Only a thin layer of the originally turbulent mana in his Dantian was left. Every time he tried to recover by running the Great Zhoutian, there would always be bursts of uncontrollable pain in his meridians.
pain.
Every time it is severe, the backlash from mana will even cause the wounds that had healed a little to burst open again, with traces of blood flowing down.
Responsible for guarding him were two second-level low-grade spirit beasts, the little fat cormorant and the flower snake of the Jing family. The big fat cormorant was currently in the spirit beast bag because he was attacked by a spine during the battle.
Recuperate and recuperate.
This seemingly ordinary flower snake does not have outstanding combat power, but its intelligence is far beyond that of ordinary spiritual beasts. After following Zhao Shoushou back to the spirit ship, it actually showed a flattering look and actively followed him, facing him before.
The proud look of the Jing family was completely different.
"Island Master, this Baihua Snake was created by Elder Chuan Gong before he died. He did not hesitate to consume all his energy to survive. He had been in a state of severe injury and dormancy before. He has just gotten better today, so he has not reported it." Jing Yanfang explained at the side.
"It is normal for every family to inherit some means. It is not surprising. Being able to send them to help in the battle today is enough to show sincerity. You can only serve them seriously in the future." Even though there were some turbulence in his heart, his final choice was still to appease.
One day later, the spirit ship successfully returned to Hululing Island. The story of Zhao Shoushou's brave battle with the black water beast had been reported back to the spirit island. After forcibly suppressing his injuries and revealing his body, he immediately chose to enter the secret room for seclusion.
"This battle can buy me at least twenty years, which can be used to practice in seclusion." As he whispered to himself, Zhao Shoushou had already closed his eyes tightly and entered into deep cultivation.
Strictly speaking, since he embarked on the road of cultivation, he has been in various rushes almost all the time. His improvement in cultivation relies almost entirely on various opportunities that he desperately strives for. The time to truly practice in seclusion is
Quite short.
In terms of the general situation in the entire spiritual world, this is obviously an abnormal and excited state. Of course, both situations have their own advantages and disadvantages.
For Zhao Shoushou, a period of silence is indeed needed for a long enough period of time. Excessively rapid improvement in cultivation is obviously detrimental to the solid foundation.
Perhaps after enough time of retreat and practice, there can be a good improvement in this aspect, and it will even have certain benefits in terms of developing one's own potential.
At present, both Hululing Island and its own situation are at a suitable time. It can be said that the time, place and people are favorable, and all three are present.
The injuries suffered after the battle with Blackwater were fully recovered after three years with Zhao Shoushou's patient recovery.
Of course, the slow improvement of cultivation during the healing process is also a firm and forward process, but it is just a little slower than normal cultivation. This has a lot to do with the high-quality spiritual power emitted by the second-level mid-grade spiritual veins.
As for the development of Hulululing Island, it was not affected in any way after he retreated. On the one hand, it was due to the prestige gained by Zhao Shoushou in the first battle, and on the other hand, it was the shock of three second-level low-grade monsters.
Although Zhao Shoushou is in seclusion, under his strict orders, two cormorants and a flower snake temporarily obey the arrangements of the Jing family and patrol the island at regular intervals.
Maybe in a normal battle, they are not too strong, but they are more than enough to scare some young people. After all, they are equivalent to three early-stage foundation-building monks.
It is in this relatively stable environment that twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
