Chapter 462: Boiling Blood Grass and Patrol Mission
Of course, the side effects are also quite terrifying, basically at the expense of the monk's potential. Once it is used, Zhao Shoushou's chance of condensing the golden elixir will be even slimmer.
Under normal circumstances, such a domineering elixir would naturally not be used, but it is also a good backup choice in the tide of sea beasts. It is always better than losing one's life here anyway.
It seems that the monk who fell into the trap was because he recognized the details of the Boiling Blood Grass and rashly ended up in his current situation.
Now that Zhao Shoushou has understood the situation, he will naturally not make the same mistake again. This spider with black lines all over its body is just a newly promoted second-level high-grade spider. As long as he has not fallen into danger, there is obviously no way to cause him any harm.
Too much trouble.
As for the reason why no other monks have discovered this place, it is mainly because Boiling Blood Grass is completely different from other elixirs. It does not cause the flow of spiritual power around it, but mainly absorbs the spiritual power deep underground through its rhizomes.
Moreover, these boiling blood grasses do not have any characteristics on the surface. Once there is a large amount of weeds covering the surroundings, their existence cannot be discovered at all. Perhaps this is the reason why this boiling blood grass can survive to this day.
Although the consequences of taking Boiling Blood Grass are serious, they are not unacceptable when one's life is threatened. At this time, one's worth doubles in the tide of sea beasts.
If you are willing to sell it, you can at least exchange it for a bottle of Yuan-increasing elixir from the temporary trading market. After all, it can be used to save your life at critical moments.
"The mantis is chasing the cicada and the oriole is behind. Since I am immersed in delicious food, it is time for someone to become a fisherman without any effort." Before the words were finished, a flying sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of the eyes, silently.
Condensing all his aura, he suddenly attacked the spider covered in black lines.
Zhao Shoushou's attacks have always believed in one right and one strange, and a combination of right and strange. Naturally, his attacks will not be so simple. A second-level middle-grade water-splitting fork is responsible for frontal assault.
On the one hand, it can reduce the vigilance of the spider, and on the other hand, it can also increase the possibility of a successful flying sword attack. Sure enough, when the aura of Fenshuicha appeared, the spider that had been eating the corpse suddenly raised its head, and its four eyes sprayed out four black jets.
light.
This kind of light is a special attack method full of strong corrosiveness, which cannot be resisted by ordinary spiritual weapons. This set of water splitting forks that has not appeared for a long time has a special mist of air on the surface, which is the essence of water.
Essence.
All things in the world are interdependent, but the essence of water can resist most corrosive forces. The water-dividing fork is actually appropriate to use here.
As the fronts of the two came closer to contact, a special sound suddenly appeared in the black light, which was a manifestation of the mutual consumption between the power of corrosion and the essence of water.
Unlike ordinary battles, the sound produced by this kind of wear and tear is very small, and monks from a slightly farther distance cannot detect the existence of the battle.
"Flying sword, order" Zhao Shoushou's real trump card, the second-level high-grade flying sword, appeared in the sky above the spider in this relatively short period of time. With a command, the flying sword quickly shot out of the air, and before it could
Before he could react, he had already passed through his head.
Everything seemed quite neat and tidy. Under the influence of the flying sword, after some struggle, the black-striped spider fell dead on the ground.
In fact, from this seemingly simple battle, we can already see the irreparable gap between the ninth-level foundation-building monks and the ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks.
Since this spider can hunt down a monk for blood, it is naturally not an easy person. At least it should not be weak among the same level. Unfortunately, before Zhao Shoushou's spiritual sword, it had no effect other than decapitating him.
"A complete boiling blood grass, a storage bag, and a complete spider web are quite a harvest. It's time to return to the station." He was quite satisfied with the harvest.
The treasures in the storage bag were not immediately checked, but as a monk with most of his net worth, it should be considered a big gain.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes. This principle also applies to exploration activities. Zhao Shoushou is basically located close to the depths of Lingdao. If he continues to move forward, he is likely to encounter some powerful sea beasts.
Once a single person falls into the siege of sea monsters, even if he is stronger than him, it will be a troublesome situation, not to mention that if you continue to go deeper, you may attract the attention of some third-level sea monsters.
"Team 18 is responsible for patrolling the subsidence area of the twelfth area for a period of one month. During the patrol period, it is responsible for establishing a stable patrol line and killing sea beasts that try to break through the patrol line." Regarding the tasks assigned by the Spirit Island Alliance, Zhao Shoushou remained silent.
Speechless.
The patrol mission itself is not difficult. The key is to establish a safe patrol line, which is equivalent to cutting off a part of the sea beast's territory. You can imagine how powerful the counterattack will be.
The content of the first patrol mission for all teams is roughly the same. The focus is on the division of patrol areas. The subsidence area is on this comprehensive spiritual island, where a lake bottom is about to dry up. It is a place where various poisonous insects and beasts inhabit. It is dangerous.
The speed is obviously higher than other places. The key is that the environment is barren and not suitable for the growth of various elixirs.
In the process of assigning tasks, the Spirit Island Alliance was almost blatantly seeking favorable positions for some sects and families at the expense of the lives of casual cultivators.
"Captain, the number of poisonous insects in the sinking area far exceeds our strength. Can we win one or two from the alliance? Change to a new patrol area?"
"The Spirit Island Alliance is indeed as good as ever, but how can we resist it?"
"We risked everything and traveled tens of thousands of miles across the sea to wipe out the core of the sea monster tide. What we got today is so unfair. Does the Spirit Island Alliance really not care at all?"
Every face of the monks in the 18th team is full of endless grief and anger, just like a wealthy lady who has been abandoned by a heartless man.
"The order of the Spirit Island Alliance has been finalized. Fellow Taoists, you should take precautions as soon as possible and set off to the subsidence area to establish a patrol line in two days. Of course, if you can change the task assignment, Zhao will be happy to see it happen." Zhao Shoushou said calmly
As he spoke, it seemed as if there was no trace of sadness or anger in his heart.
In fact, the appearance of all this is just getting used to the various injustices encountered by casual cultivators, not to mention that the matter has reached this point, and there is no room for resistance in the face of absolute power.
But even if there is any sign of unwillingness to obey orders, the Lingdao Alliance will dispatch a law enforcement team composed of some elite monks, and they must not mind killing the chicken to show the monkey, so as to have some deterrent effect.
Instead of struggling to do some useless work here, it is better to take advantage of the time we still have to prepare some elixirs for detoxification and miasma in advance. These things can be used to save lives at critical moments. Since there is no room for resistance, we can only do our best.
Trying to adapt has always been a principle he adheres to.
