Practice begins with a fisherman

Even if some so-called clues are found by luck, it is still a big test to take them out. In the process of breaking through the ice layer, any slight flaw may lead to a person completely submerged in the ice layer. disappeared without a trace.

Ten thousand year cold light stones are very rare in the world of comprehension, and a random one will definitely cause a lot of competition among monks. Its high price is enough to be compared with some good-quality third-tier top-grade treasures.

"With the Ten Thousand Years Cold Light Stone as the core, supported by the Spirit Vein and the Spirit Peak, this is the real foundation. The ancestors of the predecessors really expected it." When he said this, his heart was a little complicated.

You can breathe a sigh of relief because of the existence of the treasure, but also because you know that a treasure is close at hand but there is no way to take it away, it is also a sour feeling that you can't ask for.

Since the treasure of the formation eye exists, and it is a high-quality ten thousand-year cold light stone, in fact, there are not many choices for the island protection formation, and even Zhao Shoushou has guessed.

In the inheritance of the Four Elephant Arrays, there are only a few water and ice attribute arrays, and there are even fewer arrays that are suitable for island protection and whose attributes match the Ten Thousand Years Cold Light Stone.

Of course, the final decision is still made by the formation master. Zhao Shoushou just wants a reliable formation now, and there are not many other requirements.

"Brother Kang Dao is welcome to come to help explore the island to protect the island in his busy schedule. Zhao Shoushou would like to express his gratitude on behalf of the surviving monks on the island." Ten days later, Zhao Shoushou warmly welcomed everyone The arrival of an old man-like Jindan middle-stage monk, the famous third-tier mid-level formation mage Kang Yi.

"You don't need to be so polite, fellow Daoist Zhao. If you hadn't obtained a lot of opportunities and treasures in the expedition team, how would you be able to have someone like Kang today? Today's action is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning, but fellow Daoist. Come to guard Lingdao at this time, you are truly trustworthy." Kang Yi, the well-known formation master, obviously appreciated his actions.

"Zhao is just a casual cultivator, and he has been wandering around in the cultivation world. It is a blessing for him to be able to guard the expedition spirit island." Zhao Shoushou has always been realistic, and has no selfishness about this.

"Fellow Daoist is a wonderful person. Even so, Fellow Daoist is still a timely help for the exploration of Spirit Island. If you are willing to take over at this time, it is also a good thing for the inheritance of Expedition Spirit Island. Do you have any willingness for the island protection formation?" As soon as the words changed, Kang Yi's goal has reached the ultimate goal of this trip.

"Brother Kang Dao was also a member of the expedition team. He should know something about the treasures that suppress the eyes of the formation. It only needs to be able to exert the power of the Ten Thousand Years Cold Light Stone, and the rest is up to fellow daoists." Zhao Shoushou obviously He is very self-aware, and will never make any extra demands in front of the formation master.

"At the beginning, I also came to discuss with Zhang Daoyou several times. Naturally, I have a certain understanding of the Wannian Cold Light Stone. After planning on a certain road, I prepared in advance a third-order middle-grade ice soul that meets the requirements in all aspects. What do fellow Taoists think of the cold light formation?" Kang Yi obviously came prepared.

The third-tier middle-grade ice soul cold light formation, from its name, one can have a certain understanding of the formation. It can not only exert the effect of the ten-thousand-year cold light stone, but also basically conforms to the environment where the explorer spirit island is located.

"Fellow Daoist is an expert in this field. Naturally, all the decisions are made by Fellow Daoist. Mr. Zhao fully cooperates. However, he was severely damaged in the tide of sea beasts, and there are very few treasures left in the treasury. I don't know if it can be regarded as an adventure spirit." Dao’s loan from fellow Taoists?” As the saying goes, a poor man has short ambitions, but a horse has thin hair and long hair.

At this time, in the treasury of the Expedition Spirit Island, apart from some second-order spiritual objects, there are very few spiritual objects that can be used in the Ice Soul and Cold Light Formation.

Since Zhao Shoushou was temporarily in charge of exploring the spirit island, he naturally bowed his head decisively when it was time to bow his head. The pride of some so-called Jindan stage monks did not show any signs of existence on him. One of the advantages, right?

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, all the main materials have been fully equipped. Since you have come here, you must be mentally prepared for the situation here." Kang Yi seemed quite bold.

Everything was ready, but Dongfeng was the only one. In fact, before the formation master arrived, the monks, including Zhao Shoushou, had already completed some of the most tedious tasks in setting up the formation ahead of time, such as the restoration of the foundation of the formation.

Although there are some differences between the Ice Soul and Cold Light Formation and the previous formations, the formation foundations required for the formation are similar, mainly distributed along the spiritual veins, and a part of the spiritual formation needs to be placed under each formation foundation in advance. Stone, as the energy before the formation is activated.

Chapter 532

This part of the spirit stone is actually equivalent to a reusable spirit stone, which can be used to make up for the lack of spiritual power. If the spiritual power is not exhausted on weekdays, there will be an accumulation.

If it is accumulated for a long time, it will even promote the improvement of the rank of spirit stones a little bit. This is also the reason why some top-quality spirit stones often appear under the foundation of many formations that have existed for more than ten thousand years.

Of course, there is a limit to the total amount of spiritual power that each formation can accumulate, and the third-tier middle-grade Ice Soul Cold Light Array obviously cannot produce top-grade spirit stones.

"Now that everyone has completed the layout of the array, the follow-up work will be much easier. All the spiritual materials needed for the formation of the cold light array have been collected and refined. Please follow the array layout one by one, and I will personally draw the contact The line between the bases of the array." Kang Yi is obviously familiar with the layout of the array, and is responsible for different tasks according to the different cultivation levels of the monks present.

The formation of a set of formations is the most critical connection between each formation base, which is related to the success or failure of the formation, and only the formation master can complete it.

Arrange different types of spiritual materials in each formation base and use mana to condense them in a simple way. When the strength reaches a certain limit, it can be guaranteed that the moment the formation is activated, it will not be damaged by the backlash of mana. .

This task seems simple, but it is not easy to execute, especially for the strength and quality of mana.

According to common sense, monks in the late stage of foundation establishment can barely complete it, but in order to ensure the quality of the large formation, usually only Jindan monks make a move.

As for the large number of foundation-building monks, on the one hand, they are responsible for the patrol and warning of the spirit island. Even if there are two Jindan monks present, they still cannot relax. Sorting and other different tasks, I hope that the arrangement of the large array can be completed as soon as possible.

As for all of these, the core formation master Kang Yi will be responsible for establishing the connection between each formation base by special means. This is the most mana-consuming work. Mana holds it together.

In addition to his identity as a third-tier middle-rank formation mage, Kang Yi is also a genuine and powerful middle-stage Golden Core cultivator. He can only complete three or five connecting lines each time, and he has to meditate or use his spirit to practice. Dan assists.

In short, the layout of the island guard array can be called a comprehensive project, and it needs the concerted efforts of many monks on the explorer spirit island to complete it smoothly.

From the beginning to the end of the arrangement of the ice soul cold light array, all the monks were in an extremely busy state, which lasted for five years.

When all the work was done, all the monks, including Zhao Shoushou, looked exhausted, which was obviously not a normal state for a monk.

"It took five years to complete the arrangement of the formation. Thank you Brother Kang for your support to the expedition team. If you need it in the future, you only need a magic talisman to summon it." This is the oath made by Zhao Shoushou on behalf of the expedition team. Reliability is naturally beyond doubt.

"With the protection of this spirit formation, the safety of exploring the spirit island can be regarded as a preliminary guarantee. You can feel a little relieved when you go to other places to explore in the future." Kang Yi, who is also a Jindan monk, obviously understands his true thoughts .

"The arrangement of the formation is complete, how about you and I join hands to activate this ice soul cold light formation?" Zhao Shoushou was a little impatient.

"Hahaha, I never thought that one day, fellow Daoist Zhao, who has always been calm, would have the performance today, which is quite interesting." Amidst Kang Yi's jokes, the two Jindan monks joined hands and walked towards the core of the formation.

The third-tier mid-tier Ice Soul Cold Light Formation can't be activated by a monk at the Golden Core Stage. The best choice is for the two to join forces, so as not to consume too much on themselves.

The division of labor between the two is naturally quite clear. Zhao Shoushou is in charge of a small part near the edge, and Kang Yi is in charge of the operation of the core of the formation.

The activation of the large formation is also not an easy task. It is necessary to use spiritual power to open up the lines connecting the various formation bases first. Although these densely packed lines first use the special spiritual water prepared by the formation mage as the main material to form the spiritual power channel, It is still unavoidable that there are some intermittent positions, which will have some impact on the operation of spiritual power.

This is exactly what Zhao Shoushou and Kang Yi are eliminating now. It seems simple but requires enough endurance, time, and energy, all of which are indispensable.

And after each line is opened, it is necessary to ensure that enough mana is reserved in it, and the requirements for the monk's own control are very high and cannot be underestimated.

"There are still some positions that have not been connected successfully, so I don't open them to someone." An hour later, Zhao Shoushou yelled, and one of the hundreds of lines suddenly burst out with the same light, and immediately Re-disappeared a little bit to calm down.

Kang Yi's movements are basically the same, the only difference may be that the movements in his hands are more skilled, and each time he completes the same line, he gets through faster.

Although this work is very cumbersome, with the full efforts of the two Jindan monks, the progress is still quite fast. When noon came on the third day, on the entire spirit island, only the two monks were left. The thickest line only needs to be opened, and the official launch of the entire formation is about to enter a new stage.

"The veins are connected, the mana is connected, and the spirit veins and spirit stones don't come out now, when will we wait?" With Kang Yi's loud shout, the control of the entire formation was quickly transferred to his hands.

All the formation bases and the connecting lines between them quickly and evenly form four parts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Suzaku. .

The existence of the four great mythical beasts of ancient times, even if they are only a phantom, is enough to easily suppress some sea beasts with thin blood. Obviously, this kind of mighty array flag does not have it.

Each of the four ancient mythical beasts occupied a position. With the support of sufficient spiritual power, bursts of cold light spewed out from their mouths, and echoed with the lines on the ground. The Wannian Cold Light Stone fused into one spewed out a stream of pure original spiritual power, so far the entire formation was initially completed.

However, the four great beasts will not disappear. The island guard formation is in a process of continuous growth, and it will take at least a month for this change to truly stop.

Zhao Shoushou and Kang Yi didn't waste their time in vain. On the second day, the two Jindan monks disappeared one by one in different directions of exploring the spirit island.

Two months later, after a full span of tens of thousands of sea miles, an island full of various spirit trees, spirit flowers, and spirit fruits finally appeared in front of my eyes. Squatting monster monkeys of all sizes in various postures.

Chapter 533 The Difficult Monster Monkey Community

The number of monster monkeys in each pile is different, ranging from seven or eight to as many as twenty or so, each occupying some fruit trees, picking some large and small fruits from above and stuffing them into their mouths.

Secondly, the color and size of the monster monkeys are also completely different. It can be clearly judged that these monster monkeys are not of the same species at all. The demon monkey seen above.

There are even some special ones that have never been heard or seen before, such as a monster monkey that is only the size of a fist and covered in long silver-white fur.

As for the cultivation base of the monster beasts, it varies from the middle and lower ranks of the first rank to the top rank of the second rank, but no trace of the third rank demon monkeys has been found at the edge of the monkey forest.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's indeed a dangerous place in the monkey forest. With the vigilance of these monkey monsters, it would be very difficult to sneak into it." Zhao Shoushou, who was hiding next to a huge boulder underwater, couldn't help showing a trace of sadness.

Originally, in his understanding, the main part of the so-called dangerous monkey forest should be located in the central part of Lingdao. He only needed to sneak in carefully, find a suitable group of monkeys, kill them and steal the monkey wine in one fell swoop.

Even if you can't gain too much here, you won't be threatened too much, at least you can guarantee the freedom to come and go, and your own safety is safe.

The current facts have proved that the danger level of the monkey forest is the same as that described on the jade slip, or even better.

If you want to go to Lingdao and go deep into the dangerous monkey forest, the monkey monster on the edge of Lingdao is the first difficulty and problem that needs to be solved.

Simply comparing the strengths of the two sides, there is naturally no problem. Zhao Shoushou can kill them all with three strikes.

It's a pity that it's not too easy to deal with. The nearly [-] monkey monsters on the edge of Lingdao obviously serve as a warning. If you can't kill them all at once before sending out a real warning, everything will be useless .

Hunting and killing a hundred monkey monsters at once, not to mention Zhao Shoushou, would be impossible even if he was replaced by a late Jindan monk.

Therefore, Zhao Shoushou is now caught in a dilemma. How can he be willing to retreat if he has nothing to gain when Monkey Wine is close at hand?It is not his character to blindly move forward, he can only stand here for a while, waiting for the right opportunity to come.

"Someone Zhao still doesn't believe that the monkey monsters on the edge of the spirit island can be endless? But any gap in it is an opportunity for someone to enter the depths of the dense forest." Zhao Shoushou secretly made up his mind.

Through the lurking of the last three days, one can easily draw a conclusion that there are very few monks who have come to the dangerous place of the monkey forest, and there are even few third-order sea beasts passing by near the dangerous place of the monkey forest.

These monkey monsters are not so much on guard as they are playing and having fun, and given the character of the monkey monsters, they are obviously not qualified scouts.

It is precisely because of the information obtained above that a clear judgment can be drawn, so long as we persevere, we will definitely not waste time in vain.

One day, two days, ten days, about a month, until the end of the third month, with a strange smell of wine, the monster monkeys playing on the fruit trees, after a moment of daze, Then he walked towards the depths of the dense forest chattering and chirping, even ignoring the fruits he had already picked.

Whether it is an ordinary monkey or a variety of monkey monsters, they are born with a lack of resistance to all kinds of fruits that grow on trees. On weekdays, these monkey monsters will fight over the ownership of a fruit.

Such a shocking change at this time must be due to some major changes in this dangerous monkey forest, or some more attractive delicacies appearing.

"The monkey wine is actually the scent of the monkey wine. Could it be that all the monkey wine in the monkey forest was successfully brewed at the same time?" Go to the depths of the monkey forest and fight for it. After snatching enough monkey wine, you can drink it for a while before you can get rid of the glutton.

Since embarking on the road of cultivation, Zhao Shoushou can be said to be pure-hearted and ascetic, turning a blind eye to all kinds of temptations, but today, under the temptation of monkey wine, he almost lost his mind, which shows his special attraction force.

"Under the lure of monkey wine, these little guys will not come and go in a hurry. If there are no major changes, it is better to be cautious and observe first." Caution has always been a behavior that must be followed guidelines.

Perhaps it was this cautiousness that allowed him to successfully overcome countless difficulties and obstacles in his previous practice career, and step by step to today as a casual cultivator.

Although the monkey wine is delicious and has a significant effect on improving one's cultivation, Zhao Shoushou still needs to stick to his heart, and only after confirming that there are no ambushes around can he continue to explore the dangerous depths of the monkey forest.

But this time it seemed that so much time and energy were wasted in vain. About half an hour later, the fruit forest on the edge of Lingdao was still empty, and there was no longer any monkey monster figure.

Monkey wine is infinitely attractive to a determined monk, let alone these monkey monsters who almost use it as a hobby?

Thinking about it at this time, even the leader of the Monkey Demon would not be able to order his subordinates to guard the trees on the coast. It could be said that these third-tier leaders have already fallen into the monkey wine and cannot extricate themselves.

"Today, Mr. Zhao was too careful. After all, three months of effort was not wasted." After a murmur, his figure had disappeared into the dense forest, and he walked towards the depths of the monkey forest with a faint breath, trying to find the group of monkeys clues.

The monkey forest danger is actually a process from the outside to the inside. The deeper you go to the core, the more abundant the spiritual power will be, and the higher the level of the spiritual vein will be.

Correspondingly, more spirit flowers and fruits will naturally be produced, and it will be easier for monkeys to brew monkey wine. Therefore, all of these places are occupied by some powerful monkey monster groups, and some of them are three. A top-rank monkey monster, its strength should not be underestimated.

In terms of Zhao Shoushou's strength, these powerful ethnic groups are not something he can easily provoke, and this self-knowledge still exists.

After all, he came here only to snatch some monkey wine and spirit flowers and spirit fruits, not simply rushing and beating blindly, looking for a dead end, so his goal is quite clear. A small group where the demon is king.

Even if the harvest is slightly less, it is the most preferred choice, after all, he is just a golden core early-stage monk who is alone and alone.

After "Zhizhi" walked for about two hours in the dangerous monkey forest, on a densely forested mound, a monkey demon's special cry came.

"It didn't take much effort to find a place after breaking through the iron shoes, and the first target appeared." A special smile appeared on Zhao Shoushou's face.

Chapter 534 Killing the Monkey Demon to Take the Monkey Wine

The monkey forest is densely packed with all kinds of impenetrable forests. These monkey monsters all move forward through tall and strong tree trunks. It can be said that they come and go without a trace, leaving no trace at all.

Therefore, it is not easy to find its traces from the dangerous place of the monkey forest, but it is his specialty to follow the sound.

From the voices of these monkey monsters, it could be clearly judged that they were in a very happy state, so Zhao Shoushou moved forward decisively.

As for what kind of change happened, one can judge from the smell of wine that almost filled the entire dangerous place before, it must be drinking monkey wine carelessly.

"Monkey wine and monkey drink, Mr. Zhao can only watch helplessly. These guys can save a little. Don't be greedy for a quick drink and drink it all." Zhao Shoushou kept muttering on the side like a miser , the distressed expression on his face can be said to be very obvious.

It's like these intemperate monkeys are drinking the spiritual wine he worked so hard to brew, forgetting that he is the embodiment of the real robber.

"There are fifteen first-level monkey monsters, eleven second-level monkey monsters, and one low-level monkey king. These monkey monsters are really hierarchical, like a small sect." At a distance of about a hundred feet, Zhao Shoushou said while looking at a group of monkeys, big and small.

The first-order low-grade monkey monster should be the lowest-level existence among the monkey group. They can only drink cloudy-colored monkey wine from various shapeless stone bowls in the forest closest to the bottom. The spirit wine is a defective product in the brewing process, but the spiritual power contained in it is enough to meet the needs of these little monkey monsters.

Under the influence of the monkey wine, the monkey's face, which was already red, turned even redder than the monkey's buttocks. Judging from their reactions, it was obvious that they were very satisfied with the spirit wine.

Above the monkey monsters with the largest number, squatting on tree stumps are the second-order monkey monsters, holding wooden bowls made from some spirit fruit trees, and some wooden bowls even have some patterns on them. The presence.

These wooden bowls don't have much use in daily life, but the hint of fruity aroma contained in the fruit wood will make it appear more mellow and delicious after being blended into the monkey wine, and the effect will be better.

The monkey wine in the wooden bowl is still hard to avoid a little turbidity, but you can see the rotation of the spiritual power in it. It should be some spirit wine near the edge after the monkey wine is successfully brewed, but the effect is Undoubtedly, these second-order monkey demons are already staggering after a bowl.

Sitting on the highest place was of course the monkey king of the little monkey monster group, whose cultivation strength of the third-rank low-rank was basically comparable to that of Zhao Shoushou.

The gourd used in his hand is obviously obtained from some unlucky monk, its effect is equivalent to a spiritual weapon, and it has an obvious effect on the preservation of spiritual wine.

Zhao Shoushou couldn't see the quality of the spirit wine in the gourd. He could only judge from the occasional drop from the corner of the Monkey King's mouth. Stop and speed up, this is the real third-tier monkey wine, and it is also one of the ultimate goals of his trip.

Whenever he took a sip of delicious monkey wine, the monkey king would involuntarily narrow his eyes, and the corners of his mouth and neck would keep shaking, as if he had entered a special state. For the monkey king, he must be in a quite In a comfortable state, one can't help but be very envious.

After this period of observation, maybe the only thing I don't need to worry about is that the monkey wine was almost ruined by these monkey monsters. From the first-level monkey monster to the third-level monkey king, they cherish the monkey wine very much , so far it is nothing more than a bowl of monkeys.

In fact, this is also normal. Every time the monkey wine is brewed, it is not easy for the monkey monster group, especially this small group, from collecting spirit flowers and fruits to every step of fermentation. A slight carelessness in one step will lead to the failure of Monkey Wine.

After each successful brewing, these monkey wines can be said to be the most valued and valuable treasures of the entire monkey group, and also the greatest guarantee for their cultivation and advancement in the future, so why would they waste all of it for a momentary appetite? ?

The intelligence of these monkey monsters is no less than that of ordinary people, especially the monkey king sitting on the stone seat, who is the best among them. They know how to develop sustainably.

"These more than thirty monkey monsters should belong to the purple-haired macaque race series. They are timid and easily frightened. Judging by their numbers, they should belong to one of the weakest monkey monster groups in the dangerous monkey forest. Now that the newly brewed monkey wine was born, how could it not be the same as some powerful ethnic groups handing over their shares? One just needs to wait and see what happens now." Zhao Shoushou whispered to himself, apparently already had a certain plan in mind.

In terms of the strength of the little monkey monster group in front of them, if they launch a strong attack, they will naturally have a chance to defeat them and get the monkey wine, but it will definitely arouse the hostility of other monkey monster groups.

Since they came from a long distance, the monkey wine of a small ethnic group is naturally difficult to meet their needs. The more such treasures, the better.

On the other hand, when the monkey king leads some elites to make sacrifices, on the one hand, the remaining monkey monsters can be eradicated easily, and the goal can be successfully achieved to drink up the remaining monkeys. When Erjiu returned, he caught him by surprise and killed him in one fell swoop, refining the monkey king's brain on the spot.

By the time the other monkey monster groups discovered what had happened here, Zhao Shoushou's figure had already disappeared without a trace, and he started a new plan from another completely opposite direction.
