Chapter four hundred and seventy-eight: a hard battle
Water monkeys are a strange variant of the monkey monsters. They are quite rare in number. To a certain extent, they belong to the monkey sea monsters after death.
According to legend, tens of thousands of years ago, a group of purple-eyed monkeys were chased by natural enemies and had no way out. They would rather be broken into pieces than complete. Under the leadership of their leader, they jumped decisively into a fast-flowing river.
About a hundred years later, in the same river, the water monkey clan was officially born and began to embark on the road of revenge. However, all the former enemies of the purple-eyed monkeys were within their hunting range.
From a certain point of view, it is precisely because of the death of the purple-eyed monkey that it underwent a large number of mysterious transformations on the underwater spiritual veins and evolved into a water monkey with mysterious origins and powerful combat power.
It can be said that water monkeys are almost one of the sea beasts that all monks are least willing to face. They are not afraid of death, have a bad temper, are powerful in combat, and do not have too many trophies on them.
The existing defects should be avoided, but they are very difficult to deal with.
If one relied on his solid basis in normal times, there should be no problem in getting entangled between two sea beasts. Once there is an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and kill one of them, the possibility of controlling the entire battle situation is not small.
It is a pity that Zhao Shoushou has not recovered from his old injuries and is already unable to cope with the battle. Faced with the close cooperation between two sea beasts of the same level, he is already beyond his capabilities.
Among them, the one that caused him the most trouble was undoubtedly the Water Monkey, who was always on the front line during battles, regardless of his own casualties, and had a strong dislike for land creatures.
A stone rod made of roughly polished seabed spiritual material can be swung very flexibly in his hands. He can always smoothly and keenly detect the unsmooth timing that the monk may have during the battle, so that he can kill him in one fell swoop.
uniform.
Every time he faced the Water Monkey's attack, Zhao Shoushou went all out and never dared to underestimate him. Even so, the injuries left on his body became more and more numerous.
"A water monkey and a walrus will one day cause so much trouble to someone Zhao. Some conventional methods seem to be difficult to deal with." It can be understood from his words that Zhao Shoushou is not satisfied with the current fighting situation.
Yes, we should take some measures to gain the initiative.
In addition to his own injuries, the reason why he was at a disadvantage was the lack of a second-level high-quality defensive weapon of good quality.
Before the battle officially started, although he tried hard to search for it, unfortunately no monk was willing to sell the already precious defensive spiritual weapon that could save lives at critical moments at this time.
It is in this almost unsolvable situation that Zhao Shoushou can only do the next best thing and buy three or five second-level high-grade defensive talismans at a high price. Once he encounters real danger in battle, he will use them as a means of defense.
, and strive for some breathing time and opportunities.
In fact, the dilemma faced by Zhao Shoushou's 18th Team is actually just an insignificant microcosm of this battle.
Almost all the foundation-building teams were at a disadvantage under the siege of several times the same level of sea beasts. However, Zhao Shoushou firmly believed that most monks, especially the ninth-level foundation-building monks, had never truly exerted their own strength.
Most of the methods currently used are conventional means.
In this mutual confrontation process, the final victory mainly depends on the fighting situation of the Golden Core monks in the sky, which is what almost all the monks are most concerned about.
Once these high-level monks have the possibility of winning, I believe that many monks who have been hiding their strength will burst out with powerful fighting power in an instant and beat the drowned dog.
If what they are facing is a failure, the monks facing danger will also decisively take out their trump cards, break away from the battle and flee in all directions. In short, although they are currently at a disadvantage, it is a very wise choice.
At this time, the battle between the Golden Core cultivators in the sky was already at a disadvantage. Although there was no need to worry about failure in a short period of time, it was not a good sign.
It’s not that the Golden Core monks are not working hard. From the beginning of the battle to the present, every Golden Core monk who has taken action can be said to have gone all out without hiding anything, including the background of the three casual cultivators who had been the opposite during the negotiation process.
The golden elixir stage monk.
It is helpless to have more than enough ambition but not enough strength. When the strength is at a disadvantage, no matter how hard you try, it will not be effective. This is especially true on a battlefield involving two races.
Thirty-five Golden Core Stage monks are already all the manpower that can be assembled in a short period of time. In fact, the number of sea beasts is also almost the same.
The only difference may be the difference in cultivation level. Among the thirty-five golden elixir ancestors on the monk side, there are only six late-stage monks, eight mid-stage monks, and the remaining 21 are all early-stage monks.
On the other hand, there are eight third-level high-grade sea beasts, eleven third-order middle-grade ones, and only sixteen third-order low-grade ones. With such an obvious gap, it is an extraordinary performance to be able to persist without being defeated until now.
Thanks to several of the monks who were at the peak of the early stage of the Golden Elixir, they relied on powerful magic weapons to barely tangle with sea monsters that exceeded their own strength.
Unfortunately, this obvious gap in strength cannot be easily made up by a moment of bravery and one or two magic weapons. As time goes by, defeat is inevitable.
It is under this situation that many foundation-building monks will naturally not fight against sea beasts unless the sea beasts they face have high value and are worth fighting for.
Also because each team leader concealed his own strength, some of the weaker monks in the early stages of foundation building lacked necessary rescue when they encountered danger, and the casualties on the monks' side were also increasing.
In short, this attack can be said to be a typical attack that cost both the wife and the troops. Neither of the original two goals was achieved. On the contrary, the already limited strength was weakened to a certain extent.
"Do you really think that Mr. Zhao doesn't have a defensive weapon at his side, so he will be bullied by two evil beasts like you? Five-way solid stone talisman," At this time, Zhao Shoushou witnessed with his own eyes a member of the 18th team who was in the middle of foundation building.
After the monk died, a burst of anger arose in his heart.
He decisively used a defensive talisman. After all his worries were relieved, his combat effectiveness was obviously greatly improved. Then he used the heavy mace as a means, flashing with cold light and carrying the sound of cutting through the void.
, the target is directly at the water monkey.
It was precisely because of its obstruction that Zhao Shoushou had no chance to provide support. Moreover, after the previous fierce battle, he was quite interested in the iron rod in his hand.
If the material is reliable, it is possible to obtain another second-level high-grade spiritual weapon in the future to replace the damaged flying sword and add some conventional means of fighting enemies. This may be the only valuable trophy on the Water Monkey's body.
