Chapter five hundred and sixty-fifth: the return journey of deep roots
After reorganizing the temporary retreat cave to ensure safety, Zhao Shoushou began a new round of retreat. He needed to recover at least half of his injuries and have a certain degree of self-protection before he chose to leave.
The distance between this temporary second-level spiritual island and the expedition spirit island is at least 100,000 nautical miles, and we need to pass through the territory of hundreds of third-level sea beasts. I guess if there are enough opportunities, they will definitely not mind having a good meal.
Especially when facing an injured Jindan monk, they must be like the prince crossing the river, flying out from different corners to carry out various attacks.
When Zhao Shoushou chose to continue his cultivation in seclusion, the results of the Thunderbird War had already spread in the overseas cultivation world. Some families of fallen Jindan monks, in addition to being sad, also looked as if they were facing a powerful enemy and were trembling with fear.
The Expedition Spirit Island, which is a hundred thousand nautical miles away, naturally has the same worries. Including providing information about the monks, some core monks know his whereabouts.
In addition, no news has spread in several months, and the various activities on the surface of Expedition Ling Island have become choppy and may capsize at any time.
"The battle of Thunderbird is extremely dangerous. Although the island owner's combat power is strong, his cultivation is only at the early stage of the Golden Core. This trip may be a disaster." This person used the news about Thunderbird to exchange Zhao Shoushou for a set of second-level high-grade items.
The monk of the Mother Blade Spiritual Weapon.
"Once the island owner and his old man are trapped in the Thunderbird Sea, how will the expedition spirit island deal with it? Not to mention the covetous Golden Core monks, just some third-order sea beasts are enough to exceed our ability to deal with it."
"Should we send out invitations to some Jindan seniors who have been in the expedition team as soon as possible?"
"Although the island owner's cultivation level is only at the early stage of the Golden Core, his strength is unquestionable. How can he be an easy person to condense the Golden Core as a casual cultivator?"
"You must never rashly send out invitations to other Jindan seniors. Even if the island owner is unfortunately killed, the third-level mid-level island protection formation can easily block the invasion of some third-level low-level sea beasts. There are still enough
reaction time”
"It makes sense. What if the island owner is just injured in the battle and returns to the spiritual island one day? How will the two golden elixir monks deal with it?"
In the fierce debate among many monks in the foundation-building period, a consensus was gradually reached. No real decisions can be made before encountering a real crisis.
This is already the most correct decision that Adventure Spirit Island can make in a short period of time. The differences between families in a loose organization and sect are vividly displayed at this moment.
No matter it is a sect or a family, all formal disciples will leave a trace of blood essence. Once something unexpected happens, the sect will get the news as soon as possible.
This simplest point cannot be achieved in the Expedition Spirit Island. No monk is willing to leave the essence and blood here. They are just seeking a slim possibility of being promoted to the golden elixir. What they lack is the most important thing among the monks.
The basic and most precious trust.
If a monk's essence and blood is entrusted to someone else, the consequences will definitely be quite serious. If a small drop of essence and blood falls into the hands of some caring people, it can make a big fuss.
The late-stage foundation-building monks who came to explore Lingdao came from all over the world. They had never known each other before. Under such circumstances, how could they leave their essence and blood here?
It is precisely because of this that they are completely unaware of Zhao Shoushou's life and death, and can only rely on the island protection formation to barely maintain the operation of the expedition team. They absolutely do not want to suffer another heavy blow at this critical moment of recovery.
The sun and the moon rotated, day and night alternated, and time flew by. Zhao Shoushou's retreat on the second-order island lasted for a year and a half, and he had only recovered more than half of his injuries.
"Blessings lie behind misfortunes, misfortunes lie behind blessings. Who can really know and understand the secrets of blessings and misfortunes before they really show up?" Zhao Shoushou could only be heard sighing, it was for this.
The most powerful summary of this trip.
According to the plan, this trip to hunt Thunderbirds in the sea should be a fruitful one if everything goes well, but in fact it is completely the opposite.
Not only did he not get any results, but he also suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. In order to be able to recover from his injuries smoothly during this retreat, he almost consumed all the information accumulated over the years in the storage bag, and even more elixirs for various purposes.
It's exhausted.
Perhaps the only gratifying thing is that it can be guaranteed that the injury will not cause too much damage or impact on the subsequent path of spiritual practice.
Although Zhao Shoushou was a casual cultivator, he had to go through a lot of hardships and obstacles along the way, but purely from the perspective of improving his cultivation, he was making steady progress.
Perhaps it was because of the previous series of successes that he rashly listened to a so-called news after being promoted to the second level of the Golden Core. Without any knowledge of the enemy, he dealt with a person who had never appeared in the world of cultivation.
The strange sea beast takes action.
After this battle, most of this inexplicable pride has been eliminated, which is another gain for Zhao Shoushou.
"Zhao's cultivation level is only at the second level of the golden elixir, but his lifespan is still sufficient. Isn't it time to deepen his roots and strengthen his foundation? Or should he return to the spiritual island as soon as possible to explore the spiritual island and practice hard for more than a hundred years?
"Thinking of the flash of light in his eyes, the figure quickly merged into the sea and disappeared without a trace. It was the water escape technique.
After years of training and hard work in the world of overseas cultivation, Yi Yi has come to understand the essence of the water escape technique more and more. After being promoted to the golden elixir, he has become even more proficient in performing it.
The reason why Zhao Shoushou used this technique to rush on was mainly to avoid the invasion of some sea beasts. Although his injuries were initially stabilized at this time, he could only use less than half of his combat power. Once he encountered some powerful third-level sea beasts,
, I’m afraid the outcome is still unpredictable.
Originally, Zhao Shoushou might not be so cautious. All of this came from the sea snakes in the past, and no one could be sure that similar situations did not exist around him.
The water escape technique is performed silently. With his current strength, as long as he does not collide head-on with a third-level sea beast, there will be no problem in ensuring the stability of his whereabouts. Perhaps the only drawback is that it consumes more mana.
many.
Under the current situation, the most important thing is to ensure one's own safety. As long as this goal can be achieved, everything else is within the acceptable range.
Be careful along the way. Whenever you pass through an unfamiliar sea area, you will first conduct a reconnaissance. Only after confirming that there are no third-order sea monsters living around, will you pass through cautiously. If there are any changes or mistakes along the way, you will act decisively.
Choose Detour.
Just walking and stopping like this, Zhao Shoushou more than doubled the length of his return journey, and it took him about a month to reach the outskirts of Adventure Spirit Island.
