Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Five: Hunting Piranhas for Sea Cucumbers
"If the expedition team was at its peak, and there were countless icing on the cake, there would naturally be many Jindan ancestors willing to come and garrison according to the content of the oath. Unfortunately, today is different from the past. Amidst the beast tide, the expedition spirit island encountered several attacks by sea beasts and suffered heavy losses."
A late-stage foundation-building monk said lonely.
"Now there is only one third-level low-grade spiritual vein left in the Expedition Spirit Island. Everything else needs to be started from scratch. How can anyone be willing to come and clean up this mess at this time?"
"Not to mention the ancestors of the Golden Pill, most of the foundation-building monks have dispersed. Only some people like me and others who have nowhere to go are still willing to stay here."
"The expedition team is really ill-fated. It has finally improved a little in the past thirty to fifty years. Who would have thought that unexpected events would cause the ancestor's injury to suddenly worsen?"
More than a dozen late-stage foundation-building monks were talking lonely in a hall, feeling a lot about the expedition team's past prosperity and today's desolation.
In fact, according to the rules of the expedition team, every new Golden Core monk needs to be stationed on the Spirit Island for at least a hundred years. However, in the past, relying on their own strong strength, not every Golden Core monk had the opportunity.
This ancestor who sits on Lingdao is already a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He has been here for three hundred years because he was born as a casual cultivator.
As for the content of the oath left when joining the expedition team, since it is not needed, it will not have an impact on the monks, just like the voluntary abandonment of the expedition to the spiritual island is the same reason.
When encountering an accident on the Spirit Island and trying to pick it up again, everything is naturally not easy. Aren't these Jindan monks uncomfortable guarding in their respective sects? Why do they have to wade through this muddy water?
For these monks who come from sects and families, the only meaning of the existence of the expedition team is to assist them in collecting elixirs, hunting sea beasts, and earning various valuable resources for impact golden elixirs.
What's more, there are also many monks and sea beasts who have been offended by the strong style of the expedition team over the years. Once this ancestor of the middle stage of the golden elixir is enthroned, the subsequent series of troubles will really begin.
Zhao Shoushou, who was tens of thousands of miles away and was proud of himself, obviously did not understand the complicated situation he had to face. At this time, he was looking at the two spiritual herbs in his hand and snickering.
Just now in the battle with the piranha colony, with the help of red-spotted flying ants and cormorants, they moved forward in one direction with all their strength, gaining a local advantage, and faced the attack of two third-level low-grade piranha kings.
When the time came, they immediately took action with all their strength, causing them to suffer heavy losses one after another.
Zhao Shoushou was very clear about his purpose. First, he quickly passed through the piranha's territory. Second, he took the opportunity to pick some spiritual herbs from its core area. Instead of pursuing the victory, he gave up decisively and picked two plants in the core area of the piranha.
The exact same spiritual grass.
"So what if we gain the upper hand with the power of the tribe? In the face of Mr. Zhao's careful planning, we can still only eat ashes, but there are actually two third-level mid-grade seven-star sea cucumbers. With these harvests, the loss of more than half of the red-spotted flying ants is considered worthwhile.
"Zhao Shoushou showed a satisfied smile on his face.
The third-level mid-grade seven-star sea cucumber is a special ginseng elixir that has common characteristics of all ginseng types and has a significant effect on improving monks' cultivation.
The raw material can be directly refined. As the main material in the hands of an alchemist, it can be turned into the Seven-Star Sea Cucumber Pill suitable for the middle stage of foundation building. Even if it is taken after a series of battles and the mana in the Dantian is exhausted, it can also restore the mana in the Dantian.
What is obvious is that it has many uses.
Of course, there are rewards and sacrifices. Today's battle may seem easy, but in fact, the victory is quite a fluke. Although the two third-level low-grade piranhas suffered heavy losses, they each spewed out a large amount of carrier drama at the last moment.
Poisonous fangs pierced through its abdomen.
If it weren't for the snake galls that had been used to refine the three-headed sea snakes, which have a certain degree of resistance to various toxins, the consequences would have been disastrous.
In addition, the red-spotted flying ants, which have been carefully cultivated for many years and thanks to the hard work of the mother worms, have reached a population of over 10,000. After the first battle, they returned to their most primitive state. There are only about 3,000 remaining, and half of them are injured.
Within a year, the female worm will once again return to a state of frantic egg-laying.
A third-level low-grade metallic talisman is also very valuable. If it is not for a quick victory, under normal circumstances, it would be reluctant to sacrifice it.
Generally speaking, there are gains and losses in this battle, but two Seven-Star Sea Cucumbers can at least be exchanged for a bottle of elixir that is more effective than the Xueyuan Elixir.
If the gains and efforts are purely in terms of value, they are roughly equal. It can only be said that what he needs more now is the elixir that can improve his cultivation.
"There may be different scenery along the way, Zhao is really looking forward to it." The satisfied Zhao Shoushou murmured in a low voice, with a satisfied smile on his face, and his figure quickly disappeared. Through the gains from this battle, for the outer sea
There is a deeper understanding among the wealthy.
At this time, the Expedition Spirit Island in another direction encountered an unprecedented crisis. An unknown species of huge sea fish led more than a hundred second-level mid-to-high-grade sea fish in a tentative attack.
If it weren't for the expedition to the Spirit Island, there are still some remaining formations that can be relied upon. In addition, fish and sea animals are naturally restricted, and there are always some shortcomings in land attacks. Only then could these foundation-building monks persevere.
There were originally more than 40 resident Foundation-Building monks on the Expedition Spirit Island. Unfortunately, after the ravages of the sea beast tide, some of them died and some escaped. Currently, there are only about 20 people left, headed by three Foundation-Building Nine.
The first-level monks are all from the same background as casual cultivators.
The reason why these monks still stay here is because they have nowhere to go. A third-level spiritual elixir is obviously impossible for them to give up easily.
Even with full resistance, they can only retreat step by step in the face of absolute strength. Even with all kinds of disadvantages, the third-level sea beasts are still not something they can resist.
This is a catfish sea beast with a layer of black smooth silt all over its body. Its main attack method is to control the invasion of sea water. In addition, the ice arrows with complex patterns that spew out from time to time are the most lethal.
big.
These seemingly ordinary ice arrows will explode decisively whenever they are blocked by formations. As a result, the remaining formations will always dissipate, and the situation of many monks is becoming increasingly difficult step by step.
Thanks to this kind of ice arrow, which has many functions, it is also a big burden for the third-level low-grade catfish. After each use, it needs sufficient time to recover, so this disadvantageous change trend requires enough time to evolve.
Only then will there be a qualitative change.
This also laid a good foundation for the monks who explored Lingdao to wait for rescue. Otherwise, how could Zhao Shoushou arrive here before Lingdao fell?
