Chapter three hundred and seventy-one: water sika deer and monk
Not to mention all the previous encounters, after he spent two consecutive fierce battles and finally landed on Lusongling Island, the core area of Baowu, not only was he not in a relaxed state, but he became more and more vigilant.
Perhaps it was due to the reminder from the stone tablet during the advance, or perhaps the monk himself was aware of it. In short, every step forward seemed to bring great pressure.
On the contrary, Zhao Shoushou believed that this was a good thing. Being on alert at all times was enough to ensure that combat effectiveness would explode in a short period of time.
As for the overlord water sika on Lusongling Island, he is quite looking forward to it, for two reasons: first, after meeting the enemy for the third time and winning, he will definitely get a treasure of high enough quality;
Second: The whole body of the water sika deer is a treasure, especially the antler on the head is quite precious, and has always been in short supply in the world of cultivation.
Water sika deer generally come in large and small groups, ranging from three to five to more than ten. The size mainly depends on the strength of the leader.
Among them, there are some powerful people who control more than a hundred animals. Of course, his strength is far from enough to attract the attention of these big guys.
The numerous water sika deer groups, under the rule of three or five third-level, middle and lower-grade water sika deer kings, condensed into a large-scale group, thus occupying this large spiritual island.
Under normal circumstances, the number of groups headed by second-level mid-grade water sika deer will not exceed seven, and the number of groups headed by second-level high-grade water sika deer will be less than twenty.
The number of large groups of more than a hundred is not that large, and the leaders are at least second-level high-level peak beings. They only need an opportunity to be promoted to become one of the third-level sea beasts.
The strength of each water sika deer is not weak at the same level, especially its pair of sharp horns, which have strong penetrating ability, and ordinary defensive weapons cannot stop it.
According to Baowu's rules, the next group Zhao Shoushou might encounter should be a small group headed by a second-level mid-grade water sika deer.
Once all the sea beasts are killed, except for the leader and the essence of the treasure mist, which are condensed into treasures of the same level, the rest can be used as another valuable trophy.
If enough deer antlers can be harvested, even if they are of a slightly lower grade, it will be of sufficient benefit to recover from the injuries caused in the previous sonic array.
Deer antler has the effect of nourishing the essence and strengthening the essence, and the effect on the lack of this essence is quite excellent, which is also an important reason why he took the risk to come here.
"Zhao's strength is limited. He can still fight the third wave of enemies. If he faces the fourth wave, he may have to retreat." He has a clear understanding of his own strength.
At the same time, located on a raised mountain peak deep in Lusongling Island, five large, sturdy, snow-white water sika deer were located in the center.
Although there are not many of them, their powerful aura is clearly displayed. They are the sea-fixing needles that the sika deer clan relies on for survival. The leader is a genuine second-level mid-grade, and the remaining four are all third-level.
The inferior ones are all equivalent to the ancestors of the Golden Core stage.
There are more than thirty second-level high-grade water sika deer scattered neatly around them, all of them are leaders who control some large groups.
These seemingly clumsy sea beasts are now discussing something with their cries, and are finally waiting for the king's final decision.
It can be clearly known that the water sika deer present have almost condensed most of the essence of the entire Lusong Island, and their target must be the monks who are constantly gathering.
In fact, the relationship between monks and sea beasts is quite complicated. Monks hunt and kill sea beasts to earn various resources to maintain their cultivation. On the contrary, sea beasts are also very interested in the delicious bodies of monks.
For almost all sea beasts, monks are a walking treasure house, and once they are devoured and refined, the improvement in their cultivation level is quite obvious.
The simplest and clearest example is that if a water sika deer at the peak of the second-level middle-level swallows three or more monks of the same level, it will definitely be promoted to the second-level high-level.
Its effect even far exceeds the monks' need for them, so the so-called hunting is actually mutual, and the treasure mist is also a good opportunity for sea beasts.
In the previous battles, although Zhao Shoushou had won both battles, many of them also perished. These monks had become delicacies in the bellies of many sea beasts and a panacea that promoted their cultivation.
The treasure mist attracts many monks, and the most helpful ones are the five third-level water sika deer. If you can take this opportunity to swallow one or two golden elixirs, you can at least save a hundred years of hard work, and it is impossible to cultivate them in the future.
A fourth-level sea beast.
For a group of sea monsters, having third-level sea monsters can only occupy a relatively stable and productive sea area, which may be mixed with one or two spiritual islands of different levels.
However, the safety of the ethnic group cannot be guaranteed in the dangerous overseas world. Only with the presence of a sea beast equivalent to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage can we truly take root.
Some powerful groups of sea beasts in the outer sea are dominated by fourth-level sea beasts with powerful strength, strange magical powers, and long lifespans.
Perhaps the water sika deer clan also wants to use this rare opportunity of Baowu to achieve a leap-forward improvement in the clan's strength, but who will win in the end depends on their own plans.
As for the specific plans of the Water Sika Clan, the monks must not be able to detect them, and he also knows nothing about the changes here.
Zhao Shoushou will definitely not shrink back because of these unknown reasons, but will continue to move forward as always to explore the possible third wave of opponents.
Of course, what he was looking forward to more in his heart was the rich spoils after victory, so he was very determined to move forward and had no intention of retreating.
According to Baowu's rules and the experience of the first two battles, every time you advance a thousand feet into the next test, you will inevitably encounter the next wave of enemies.
Because he didn't know much about the temperament of water sika deer, Zhao Shoushou had already started to check some of his equipment when there was not much left to go.
In the vast open sea, sika deer are just a small and inconspicuous group, and information about their temperaments is also quite scarce. It is very difficult for casual cultivators to obtain some useful information.
According to the records found in some jade slips previously searched, the water sika deer is a small branch of the deer demon, but its temperament is completely different.
Compared with ordinary deer monsters, they have a bad temper, like to fight, are agile in movement, and have strong fighting power, so it is not easy to deal with them.
Their biggest weakness is their eyes, followed by their soft abdomen. Weakness attack is also the most effective way, and is also a method commonly used by monks.
What Zhao Shoushou prepared was still several second-level mid-grade metallic talismans, almost all of his inventory, which he prepared to use in this battle. If he still couldn't gain anything, he could only choose to leave.
