Practice begins with a fisherman

When the appointed time arrived, a total of six foundation-building seven-story monks came, and they should be all the monks who were invited to participate in this trial.

"Hahaha, it's unexpected that six comrades came here." About noon, accompanied by a hearty laugh, a tall and strong man with black hair all over his body came alive to a chimpanzee. The monk appeared on the spirit island.

"This unreliable bearded man, shouldn't he introduce himself first?" It wasn't until another voice appeared that the monks present noticed him, almost completely hidden in the shadow of the gorilla.

Chapter 400 The Dangerous Deep Sea Grand Canyon and Missions

"Welcome fellow Taoists to accept the invitation of the expedition team and arrive at Heishuiling Island on time. The two of us are the leaders of this operation. Do you have any objections to this trip?" The bearded man's introduction was quite concise, even The purpose and precautions of Xi Jinping's trip were not mentioned.

"I have a question and I don't know if I can ask for advice? It was stated in the invitation letter that there is only one leader for this operation. I don't know how the two fellow Taoists can explain it? Or is there something else wrong?" Some proud male cultivators asked.

"Two friends, can you explain the destination of this trip? Or what is our test mission?"

"Don't the two guides mean that the danger of this trip has at least doubled? Please ask the two fellow Taoists to clear up the confusion?"

The three monks asked skillfully. Obviously, they had a very deep understanding of the expedition team before, and it is very likely that some seniors in the family were once members.

Therefore, he knew quite a lot about the details of the test mission, and Zhao Shoushou, as a newcomer, stood on the sidelines honestly and was happy to see the success.

You can get some unknown information from it and increase your own knowledge, and the low-key principle that has always been pursued has not been broken.

Previous experience has proved that in some group actions, the more low-key and unobtrusive the person is, the greater the chance of surviving.

"Hehehe, fellow daoists seem to have a general understanding of the expedition team. According to regulations, all these questions are within the scope of answerability. I will naturally explain, and you, the bearded man, will explain." The appearance of a skinny and numb monk, the six monks present just got a glimpse of his true face.

"It's just a small test mission. Mother-in-law and mother are uncomfortable. The test mission of this trip has not changed in any way. The addition of a guide is to provide more protection. The destination of the mission is the deep sea canyon , the specific tasks are kept secret for the time being, and all the gains belong to the individual, and he only needs to pass the test to officially become a member of the expedition team," the bearded man explained with an impatient look on his face.

The two leaders from the ninth floor of foundation establishment from the expedition team seemed to be responsible for the anger of the other, but it was just a double-handed strategy. This kind of task with rich rewards and little danger was quite popular even in the expedition team.

"Deep sea canyon? But the deepest underwater canyon in the open sea? There are often third-level mid-lower sea beasts that are comparable to Jindan monks?"

"Are you sure it's a test mission? The Deep Sea Grand Canyon is quite dangerous. So far, no sect has been able to check out the terrain inside?"

"Once we encounter a Tier [-] sea beast, wouldn't we wait like fat meat delivered to our door? How can we resist? Is the expedition team recruiting new members or letting me wait to die in vain?"

As soon as Fang heard the name of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon, except for Zhao Shoushou, who knew nothing about it, the faces of the remaining five monks changed drastically.

From their questioning, it is clear that the so-called Deep Sea Grand Canyon must be a very dangerous place, otherwise how could these experienced monks be so frightened?

On the contrary, he didn't care about the news of the third-order sea beast. He firmly believed that even if the rumors were true, the number of them was quite rare. As long as you were careful, the chance of encountering them head-on was not great.

"The expedition team can produce a Jindan stage ancestor every 20 years. Do you think that these are not paid for? The deep sea canyon is just an entry-level dangerous place for the expedition team." The performance of the monks present is quite contemptuous.

"Big Beard's words are true. Not every monk in the late stage of foundation establishment can join the expedition team. It is a harsh test mission that is responsible for both parties. If there is danger in the middle, we can still help out." Ma The pole-like monk is very patient.

"Although the strength of the two of us is limited, as long as you don't die, you can save your life. If you don't want to go, you can choose to leave, as long as you don't reveal your whereabouts within one year." With the monks singing together, the originally difficult journey seemed quite easy.

"According to the regulations of the expedition team, everyone has a cup of tea to think about it. If no one quits, the assessment mission will officially begin." As soon as the monk Ma Gan finished speaking, the two guides closed their eyes and waited.

The six foundation-building seventh-floor monks present at the scene were able to come to the present and were willing to accept the invitation of the expedition team, so they naturally had a certain degree of confidence in their own strength.

The slight panic at first was only due to the prestige of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon, which was poured with the blood of countless monks.

After a simple analysis by the two leaders from the expedition team, I suddenly realized that the danger of this trip was actually not high, and my mood calmed down instantly.

What's more, since they came here from a long distance, every monk is a person with a strong will, so how could they leave so easily?Is there even the temptation of Jindan?

"It's time for a cup of tea. Since you haven't quit, I announce that the expedition team's test mission has officially started. For the first mission, please arrive at the outer entrance of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon within two days. Those who fail to meet the requirements will be eliminated immediately, so as not to risk their lives in vain. , I'll wait and go first." After the task was released, the figures of the two guides had disappeared on the distant sea, looking like they were afraid of being dragged down.

The distance between Heishuiling Island and the Deep Sea Grand Canyon is moderate. If you don't encounter some sea beasts on the way, it will be a completely different journey.

This seemingly simple task is actually a double assessment of the six monks present. The most important thing is the strength of the monks themselves, and the second aspect is speed and opportunity.

Chance seems to be nothing, but it is very important and an indispensable part for monks. If a monk is lucky enough, it is no problem to lower his head and pick up some treasures. Nothing.

"I wish you all good luck, and Zhang Zulu is one step ahead."

"Two days is enough time, I don't know which fellow daoist can't arrive on time"

The monks who were present either took the initiative to leave or left quietly. The position of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon was fixed, but the direction chosen by the monks who had already left was completely different, and soon Zhao Shoushou was left alone again.

Looking at the white jade slips still on the ground, a melancholy expression appeared on his face. Apparently other than him, the other monks had a certain understanding of the deep sea canyon, and the path they chose must be the safest in their hearts. .

"Since everyone has their own choices, Zhao can only follow the guidance of the expedition team. How can he know that this is not the best choice? What a bunch of quick-tempered people." The shark spirit ship immediately disappeared on the sea surface and headed for the destination strictly according to the guidance of the white jade slips.

But they didn't know that after they left, the figures of the two guides appeared on Lingdao again.

Chapter 401 The Yellow Throated Water Turtle

"I never thought that there would be a monk who would walk in the direction of the jade slip. I don't know if it's a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse or a little quick-wittedness, who can solve the mystery." Looking at the disappearing figure, with a violent temper The bearded man who appeared spoke quite meaningfully.

"I hope these guys can arrive in full swing. It won't be easy along the way," Brother Ma Gan whispered to himself. The expedition team's test must have some special settings.

Whether you follow the Jade Slips or choose another path, you will definitely encounter some difficult problems. No matter what the path you choose, you will always go in the same direction. This is also the secret of the two leaders. task in the depths.

It's a pity that the six monks knew nothing about the movement on the Blackwater Spirit Island at this time. They were rushing forward along the chosen road, hoping to arrive on time.

Little did they know that not far ahead of each other, there were some difficulties that had been arranged in advance quietly waiting for the arrival of the monks, and the degree of difficulty could only depend on the luck of the monks.

"Could it be that there are no sea beasts inhabiting this road? Couldn't all the sea beasts be near the deep sea canyon?" The excessively smooth journey along the way made him vigilant.

The outer sea is the world of sea beasts, with a large number and complete types, but it is far beyond what the monks expected. Even if some of them are high-grade and stay in the deep sea canyon, how can other sea beasts with lesser strength disappear without a trace?This is not a normal phenomenon at all.

As for the clearing and hunting of the expedition team, it is even more impossible. These guys put all their energy on the cohesion of Jindan, so how could they devote so much energy to some members who have not officially joined?

Being able to send two guides for this trip is a rare discovery of conscience, and one must not think too much about other things. It is obvious that relying on two guides, even if they are all monks of the ninth floor of the foundation, is impossible.

Then there is only one reason that can be left. In the vast sea area here, everything is the territory of a powerful and powerful sea beast.

The reason why Zhao Shoushou moved forward smoothly was because this unknown sea beast had never appeared, maybe it was hiding in the dark, waiting for the right time to make a move, or maybe a life-and-death battle was about to erupt in this quiet sea area soon.

"To be able to occupy such a vast territory in the open sea where there are many strong people, it should be at least a second-rank high-grade sea beast, but I don't know what kind of alien it is?" When thinking of this, his vigilance has reached the peak, and he has already done it secretly. Complete prep work.

Once there is a slight disturbance in the vicinity, it is guaranteed to be able to attack the enemy at the first time. The current state is like a hedgehog that has already grown spikes.

At the same time when Zhao Shoushou was puzzled, the other five monks who traveled first had already fought their opponents one after another. Some of them were strong and some were weak, but the difference in overall strength was not too far. It is still a more difficult existence in the same level.

All of a sudden, waves of fierce battles broke out in this sea area that had been calm for many years. The sounds of collisions of spiritual weapons, painful hisses, and angry shouts of monks could be described as one after another.

Even though each of these battlefields has its own characteristics, there is one thing in common among them. It is not easy to tell the winner in any battle.

"Finally, An can't bear it and is about to appear. I don't know if the first battle after being promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment will be someone fleeing in embarrassment or beheading the sea beast under the knife." After about a stick of incense, accompanied by the rising and rippling sea, Zhao Shoushou whispered to himself, and at the same time, the fighting spirit rose from his body.

Compared with the unknown and precautions, what he prefers is the smoothness of everything coming to light. No matter what the origin of the sea beast on the opposite side is, it's just a trick.

The appearance of the sea beast was very fast, and the first thing that caught the eye was a golden back shell with obvious lines and shining bursts of light. Judging from its shiny luster, the strong defense must not exist. questionable.

"It's still a big guy, a turtle-like sea beast known for its rebelliousness, unexpectedly appeared here, and its back shell is an excellent material for refining second-tier high-grade defensive spiritual weapons." Zhao Shoushou was greatly relieved when he saw his opponent. in one breath.

No matter how confident or calm he was before, after all, he was just a newly promoted foundation-building seventh-level monk, and he didn't have a deep understanding of this new realm.

He doesn't even have a second-tier high-grade spiritual weapon for self-defense. If he encounters a powerful alien species, he will be in a real dilemma.

Turtle-like sea beasts are lazy by nature, prefer to be quiet and not to move, and generally live in peace with monks, but due to their talents, except for a few species, most of them are not good at speed.

Even if the situation is unfavorable in today's battle, Zhao Shoushou will not be in too much danger. As long as he is determined to escape, this huge turtle is nothing to worry about.

"Yellow-throated terrapin? An ordinary turtle can grow to this extent? There must be an unknown encounter, but it is quite enviable." When the turtle completely emerged from the sea, its head circled Zhao Shoushou couldn't believe the unique yellow lines.

The reason is not that this kind of sea turtle is so rare, on the contrary, it is entirely because it is so common that it is distributed in almost all sea areas, and even exists in some lakes and rivers in the cultivation world of the mainland.

Yellow-throated quasi-water turtles are generally of the first-tier middle and lower ranks. Occasionally, there will be a first-rank upper-rank that is already a strong one among them. How can it not make people feel that there is a second-rank upper-rank that is defying the sky here? surprise?

The only characteristic of this most common sea turtle is defense, and its natural spiritual skill is only water archery, but what is its strength after it evolves to the second-level top-rank?

Of course, existence is reasonable. Since the yellow-throated aquatic turtle in front of me can stand out from millions of ordinary sea turtles and become a dominant existence, its strength should not be underestimated.

In the face of such a powerful opponent, Zhao Shoushou, who has always been cautious and spared his life, naturally would not despise him in the slightest, and persisted little by little, looking for a suitable opportunity to make a move.

However, the yellow-throated terrapin on the opposite side was obviously impatient. Its limbs slid gently and its huge body seemed quite flexible. The distance between the two sides shortened rapidly. When the distance was nearly ten meters, the original short The tortoise's neck stretched in an instant, and it bit its dantian with its sharp teeth with lightning speed.

Under normal circumstances, all battles between sea beasts and monks are basically the first wave of trials with their respective spiritual skills. Who would have thought that the sea turtle on the opposite side would not play cards according to common sense.

Another point is that the sudden and rapid elongation of the turtle's neck is really unexpected, and it also has a lot of lethality.

Chapter 402 Fierce Battle and the Golden Turtle Shell

In the subconscious mind of most monks, all kinds of sea turtles and sea beasts don't seem to have any special or powerful means other than some innate spiritual skills and a thick back shell that can provide super defensive power.

This is a completely wrong concept. Although turtles and sea beasts spend most of their time in a strange state of deep sleep, they also need to prey.

Once this not-so-big tortoise mouth bites its prey, it will never give up. Its bite force is no less than that of some large sea beasts.

Even with some defensive spirit protection, if you are not careful, you may not be able to resist the turtle's bite. It can be said that this is a despised attack method.

Fortunately, Zhao Shoushou had been stranded overseas for 20 years before, and he still had some in-depth understanding of some basic conditions of various sea beasts.

Therefore, when the yellow-throated terrapin stretched its neck and was about to bite, his reaction was quite quick. The only thing that was not expected was the super long neck.

"Detecting objects from the air, attacking them by surprise, if Zhao had some preparations, wouldn't he be in the right place today? I don't know if this long turtle neck is hard?" Zhao Shoushou moved sideways and retreated suddenly at the critical moment , successfully escaped the first wave of attacks from the yellow-throated terrapins.

At the same time, the moon-breaking shovel, which had already been ready to go, flashed a phantom and slashed towards the middle of the turtle's neck before it could retract. If it hit, even if it couldn't kill it, it would at least be a serious injury.

If you can get a good result at the beginning of the game, it will obviously be extremely beneficial for the next battle, and you may become the No. 1 monk who reached the entrance of the Deep Sea Grand Canyon.

This is the expedition team's first test for the six monks. Obviously, it can occupy a certain position in the comprehensive score, and it may also be helpful for improving the status of the expedition team in the future.

Among the members of the three small groups in the overseas comprehension world, apart from casual cultivators, there are still some sects and family disciples, and they have already taken the initiative in the small group by virtue of their advantages in various aspects.

If Zhao Shoushou wants to take the initiative in the future and get more opportunities to explore, his performance at this time is the most important thing.

Although the expedition team chose some inaccessible Jedi expeditions, there are also differences among them. The types of elixir produced in each Jedi and the degree of danger are obviously different.

As a casual cultivator without enough support, he can only increase his own weight and attract the attention and win over of some caring people.

There are factions, large and small, in every small group. If Zhao Shoushou can join some of the more powerful factions, get some care when assigning tasks, and get some suitable resources each time, it will naturally form over time. an advantage.

However, these fleeting thoughts are just the goals to pursue in the future, and they obviously don't have any help for his current battle situation.

To grow old and not die is to be a thief, and this sentence is also applicable to sea beasts. When the yellow-throated terrapin in front of him appeared with the Moon Breaker Shovel, a hint of teasing flashed in his small eyes.

I saw that its limbs slid slightly and its head and tail had changed. When the moon-breaking shovel fell, what appeared under the spiritual weapon was already a golden back shell.

Facing the sea turtle's back shell that has been tempered and tempered, it is obvious that a mere second-order middle-grade spiritual weapon cannot be used. With the flickering of a flame, the moon-breaking shovel has already flown back.

The yellow-throated terrapin took this opportunity to spurt out the seawater it had swallowed before. Under the blessing of mana, more than a hundred water arrows carved with patterns on the back of the turtle formed in the air and swarmed towards it.

Water archery was originally only an entry-level spell of water attribute, with limited lethality, and only some early-stage Qi training and first-level low-grade sea beasts would be sacrificed in battle.

However, the water arrow that appeared in front of Zhao Shoushou was in another completely opposite form. It was completely different in speed and strength, and it made him shiver coldly.

This trembling was not fear, but a kind of vigilance from divine sense and mysterious sixth sense, which represented the current attack, which was a threat to his life.

"Spiritual Water Transforming Beast Spirit Art, Edict" Zhao Shoushou had never felt any fear if he simply compared the quantity. With the appearance of a large amount of one-yuan heavy water, more than a hundred turtles of various kinds appeared in front of him.

With the deepening comprehension of the spiritual art of transforming spirit water into beasts and the improvement of cultivation level, it is possible to control the type of spirit beasts, and attack the shields with their spears, so that these defensive turtles can defend themselves from the yellow-throated quasi-water turtles. Isn't the attack at the right time?

And the purpose of their appearance is not for counterattack, but for simple consumption. You only need to wear the water arrows in front of you one by one, even if you're done, the trip is worthwhile.

Even if he is defeated, the energy in the water arrow will be consumed by [-]. The threat to him is about to disappear completely, and Zhao Shoushou can take this opportunity to fight back.

On the premise that these battles have not achieved their respective results, they are just a touch away, and neither Zhao Shoushou nor the yellow-throated aquatic turtle has much loss.

After the battle lasted for about half an hour, he had a basic understanding of the means of the yellow-throated water turtle, and after some training, he had a deeper control over the cultivation base of the seventh floor of the foundation building. The counterattack is coming.

In the previous battles, no matter whether it was the Moon Breaker Shovel, which was good at piercing armor from the front, or the Dividing Fork, which was good at concealing sneak attacks, they all failed after repeated attacks.

Since Zhao Shoushou decided to end the battle as soon as possible this time, he naturally wouldn't procrastinate any longer. What he used was the second-order middle-grade spirit gourd that had been raised in his dantian for many years.

The innate spiritual power contained in this special spiritual weapon once provided some help at the critical moment of promotion to the late stage of foundation establishment.

After further refinement, the sharp spiritual blade that appeared in it was somewhat similar to the legendary Xiantian Lingbao Slaying Immortal Gourd, but its power had not yet been revealed.

In addition, in order to end the battle as soon as possible, in Zhao Shoushou's right hand, a second-level high-grade water-attributed hundred-mile ice-sealed charm was ready to be activated at any time.

"Spiritual Gourd, Edict" When the Spiritual Water Transformation Beast Spiritual Art and the water arrow disappeared completely, taking advantage of the opportunity of doubt appearing in the eyes of the yellow-throated terrapin, a green gourd full of vitality appeared in the In the void, following Zhao Shoushou's order.

The originally tightly closed spirit gourd suddenly began to spin, bursts of blue halos appeared in front of the eyes, and after the mouth of the gourd was opened, more than ten spirit blades spewed out.

When these spiritual knives appeared in the air, they disappeared instantly, and when they reappeared, they were already the limbs and neck of the yellow-throated terrapin. Although I don't know how powerful it is, it is obviously superior to other spiritual weapons in terms of speed. One item can become Zhao Shoushou's new trump card, and it is not in vain to cultivate it carefully in his dantian for decades.

Chapter 403 Test Tasks and Rules

"Lingfu Lingzhuan, hundreds of miles of ice, imperial order" took advantage of his illness to kill him, since the spirit gourd showed extraordinary combat power, he naturally would not waste this rare opportunity.

The second-tier high-grade hundred-mile ice-sealed magic talisman in his hand was activated at the right time. The sudden drop in water temperature and the rapid sealing of the sea surface caused a slight delay to the sea beast that was about to retract its shell.

Little did they know that it was this lag that brought the long and fierce battle to an end. The limbs of the spirit blade under the blessing of mana, a yellow-throated terrapin, had already been separated.

At this moment, a large amount of turtle's blood exuding a sweet smell spewed out, but unfortunately the spirit blade that was originally slashing at the turtle's neck lost its aim under its counterattack and fell on the ice on one side.
