Practice begins with a fisherman

"The state of mind is different from the realm. There may be some spiritual pills that can provide some help, but after all, you still need your own experience. If you focus on speed, how will you resist when the two-phase dragon and tiger of the virtual pill and the golden pill meet in the future to become the Nascent Soul?" Invasion from the demons outside the sky?" When he said the last sentence, there were already some warning voices.

"Thank you for reminding me, the younger generation will definitely keep it in mind." From the warning of Old Ancestor Bei, we can see that this is a very serious process, and it is even closely related to the promotion of Nascent Soul in the future.

"We practitioners are going against the sky. We pay attention to aptitude and realm in the early stage. The most important thing to start from the golden core is chance. If you make a wrong step, don't go on the wrong path." Old Ancestor Bei exhorted, obviously It's because I don't want to see a good seedling and take a detour.

"Yes, the younger generation was born as a casual cultivator in the mainland practice world, and his aptitude is not outstanding. All the way along the way, he has relied on the solid cultivation realm. The old ancestor's golden and jade words will definitely be the golden rules for future practice."

During the questioning and answering process between the two, the three days passed in a flash, and Zhao Shoushou didn't even notice the passage of time.

The short three days allowed him to get a definite answer to the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time. Although it could not directly improve his cultivation, it had an important role that could not be ignored in his future cultivation.

In just three days, Zhao Shoushou also had a very obvious change. It turned out to be gold hidden in layers of sand, but the light was buried, and now it is like a sharp sword drawn out of its scabbard.

Chapter 623 The Plan from the Dryad

"Thank you for the kindness of the ancestor's teaching. Zhao Shoushou will definitely serve the dungeon wholeheartedly. If the ancestor calls you in the future, he will definitely go all out." On the other side of the lake, Zhao Shoushou bowed again.

Only now did he understand why there is such a strong cohesion in a sect, and the fundamental reason why the other five Golden Core monks, including Qian Bigen, who was in the late Golden Core period, stayed here wholeheartedly.

In addition to serving as the spiritual pillar of the dungeon, an ancestor of Yuanying has an immediate effect on the cultivation of monks.

Zhao Shoushou even felt that the three-day advice was even more important than getting a bottle of precious panacea. Time is far behind the clouds.

Of course, Youxiu can travel the entire subcontinent in an open and honest manner, looking for different treasures in different locations to improve his cultivation.

Dangers and opportunities are common, and the dangers they face are equally high. Even Jindan stage monks cannot guarantee their own safety.

In addition, after this consultation, he clearly noticed that when faced with some doubts or bottlenecks in cultivation, the teachings of a Yuanying ancestor are obviously more effective than some elixir and spiritual materials .

"How can Mr. Zhao be willing to waste such a precious opportunity? Besides, joining a dungeon doesn't mean you can't go out and explore." Zhao Shoushou returned to the cave happily along the way.

There are still some questions that have not been resolved in the teachings of the ancestor Yuanying. Zhao Shoushou also needs enough time to digest and understand them one by one, hoping to learn something from them again.

His behavior quickly fell into the eyes of the other five Golden Core cultivators. Apart from their common envy, these people showed nothing else, perhaps because they had all been taught by the Golden Core Patriarch more or less. certain relationship.

"Fang Yi was promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, and he was taught by the ancestor in the first place. He is a lucky monk."

"I don't know how much experience I will gain from this retreat after the end of this retreat? Will there be some special gains?"

"Facing the bottleneck in the later stage of Jindan, I can't make any progress. I need to put in more effort in the next competition, and ask my ancestors for advice."

In addition to being envious, these monks are constantly encouraging themselves, hoping to get the next chance.

The dungeon in the center of the earth is running smoothly, but they don't know that a danger is approaching quietly. As the saying goes, disasters come from the sky at home, and this is also the normal state on the subcontinent.

Located in the center of a dense forest [-] kilometers northwest of the underground city in the center of the earth, some big trees that have grown for more than a thousand years have large and small branches that move without wind, and the shaking of each big tree is quite regular. It seems that they are discussing some ulterior secrets in their own language.

"Because of the existence of the dungeon in the center of the earth, the expansion of the ethnic group has been seriously disturbed. Many juniors with good aptitude suffer from the lack of various resources, and their strength has improved quite slowly. This time, we can consider removing them in one fell swoop."

"Boss Bei is powerful. He was at the peak of Nascent Soul 500 years ago. I don't know if his cultivation level has improved. It's not easy to deal with."

"Old monster Bei is powerful, but there is only one person after all. Our tree demon clan has two full fourth-level seniors, so what are we afraid of?"

"Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. As long as the two ancestors are willing to fight, defeating him is not a problem. As long as this old guy leaves, there is no problem in leveling this annoying dungeon."

"Heck, under the urging of sufficient monks' blood food, it may be possible to awaken more children."

If a monk passed by here, he would be surprised. All of these being discussed are all third-level dryads that are rarely seen under normal circumstances.

Although the types and strength of monsters on the subcontinent far exceed those of the monks, the main part is still all kinds of animal monsters, and it is also rare for plants to become monsters.

All kinds of tree demons and flower demons are generally hidden in some inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, and rarely appear around the dungeon.

There are two reasons for this: First, due to the limitations of one's own nature, it is difficult to get rid of the shackles of the earth before the strength reaches a certain level. Once the body is damaged, everything will naturally be suspended.

Second, as for all plant monsters, there are also some more or less valuable parts on the body, and these things are also attractive to monks.

Therefore, many plant monsters have no chance to grow up at all. It is really a strange thing that so many high-level dryads gather here today.

Of course, this kind of large-scale gathering is destined to be impossible to hide for a long time. Since the underground city in the center of the earth can safely exist here for more than a thousand years, there are naturally some means to monitor the surrounding situation.

In addition, since dryads are also a kind of monsters, they naturally have some needs for blood food. With the gathering of a large number of dryads, some low-level monks who go out to explore and collect spiritual materials and elixir must face a certain danger. It has been greatly improved, and this change has attracted the attention of the underground city in the center of the earth within a few months.

Especially after the fall of a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk who belonged to the late-stage Jindan monk Qian Bigen's key training target, news of the gathering of tree demons soon came one by one.

It is normal for the dungeons above the subcontinent to be attacked by monsters. Therefore, after getting the exact news, the monks in the dungeon in the center of the earth did not panic too much. Instead, they were under the command of the senior monks. , to prepare for the battle with all their strength, especially for some low-level monks.

If the defense of the dungeon fails, for the monks above the golden core stage, it is just a new dungeon to join. As long as you are careful, your life is not in danger.

On the contrary, for most of the low-level monks in the foundation building period and the gas refining period, the chances of escaping from the obstacles of monsters and beasts are really very few.

Even if he was lucky enough to save one life, he did not have the strength to cross thousands of miles or even thousands of miles of wilderness to overcome many difficulties and reach another dungeon.

Therefore, whenever a dungeon faces the invasion of monsters, these low-level monks who have no choice are actually the most resolute group of resistance.

With the full operation of the dungeon, the Golden Core monks who enjoy offerings on weekdays also began to be busy. Low-level monks worked hard to build defensive facilities and so on.

The only special one among them is Zhao Shoushou, a newly-advanced Jindan mid-term cultivator who is still trying to understand in retreat. He can continue to retreat steadily only because the tree demon has not officially launched an attack so far.

Chapter 624

According to the regulations in the sub-continent and the dungeon, once attacked by monsters and faced with the danger of the dungeon overturning, all monks must immediately end their retreat and participate in the battle, even monks who are at the critical moment of cultivation and promotion are still no exception .

This point is an iron law that must be enforced in the entire subcontinent, and no one can violate it, even the Yuanying Patriarch. This has something to do with the overall disadvantage of the monks.

In the past history of the sub-continent, countless monks had been interrupted alive at the critical moment of promotion to Nascent Soul because the dungeon they were in was attacked by monsters, thus losing the possibility of further promotion, which was quite miserable.

On the other hand, if the dungeon as a place of shelter is overturned by the attack of monsters, even if the retreat is successful and the Nascent Soul is achieved, it may be difficult to survive the invasion of the dense army of monsters in the end.

Therefore, when faced with the monster attack, all the monks were united as one, and those whose cultivation was interrupted and promoted could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

It is precisely because of this that when some cultivation bases are promoted at critical moments, most of the monks who have prepared in advance will choose to practice outside the dungeon, especially some monks who attack the Nascent Soul in the late stage of Jindan.

The advantages and disadvantages of this choice are quite obvious. Advantages: as long as the cave is properly managed, because the location is hidden and will not attract the attention of monsters, you can rest assured to break through the cultivation level; It will definitely attract the siege of some monsters, basically there is only one way to fall.

It is completely a choice to put one's life to death and live later, but there are many gaps in terms of safety. As for what choice a monk will make in the end, it is up to the benevolent to see benevolence and the wise to see wisdom.

These things have nothing to do with Zhao Shoushou. At this time, he is neither breaking through the bottleneck and improving his cultivation, nor is he recovering from a serious injury. He is just trying to gain more understanding from the teachings of Yuanying Patriarch.

Once the tree demon and the dungeon in the center of the earth officially started the battle, and he went out to participate in the battle, it would not have much impact on him, and Zhao Shoushou in the cave had already opened his eyes without even waiting for others to wake him up forcibly.

"Old Ancestor Yuanying's word is Zhuji, Mr. Zhao's realm is lower after all, it is rare to have the current harvest, and there is not much benefit in continuing to force comprehension, and it is time to leave the customs," Zhao Shoushou said in a low voice. language.

But after leaving the cave for an hour, he was stunned and unbelievable. It was really hard to believe that everything in the world was such a coincidence.

"The dungeon in the center of the earth has not been attacked by monsters for more than 300 years. It has only been 30 years since Mr. Zhao joined here. He first participated in the battle for the colorful magic formation, and then was attacked by tree demons. Could it be that this is really bad luck? No way?" Zhao Shoushou still couldn't help talking to himself after receiving the investigation mission and leaving the dungeon.

As a Jindan stage monk, since he had already left the customs, he naturally couldn't delay any longer. His task was to investigate the gathering situation and strength of the tree demons.

Originally, this kind of patrol and investigation task only needed the foundation-building monks to try to complete. Now, with the increase in the number and strength of the tree monsters, the investigation of the foundation-building monks is nothing but futile.

Zhao Shoushou didn't have any objections to completing the task, but he quite recognized his ability to invite disasters along the way.

After thinking about it carefully, since he embarked on the road of cultivation, he was almost always in a very dangerous situation. In addition to the battle of monsters and sea beasts, and the exploration of various caves, there were countless dangers that fell from the sky. It is not easy to survive step by step and get to today.

"The tree demon should also be regarded as a kind of plant monster. In this case, some precious spiritual materials and fruits will definitely be bred on it. If you can get something, it can be regarded as a small supplement to a certain one." Soon Zhao Shoushou The thoughts in my mind turned around, and they were already placed on the tree demon on this trip.

In his past practice years, he has seen many kinds of spirit flowers and fruits with different effects. Only plant monsters have been seen once or twice in some specific places.

But I have never had the opportunity to confront them head-on. As for the treasures bred on them, I have only heard of them in name but never seen the reality. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to see them.

The dryad can be promoted to the third level, and the difficulties it faces along the way are more than ordinary monsters. The effort is equal to the gain. Once the promotion is successful, its strength is far beyond the same level of monsters. In comparison It is quite difficult to deal with it.

Zhao Shoushou, as a newly promoted Jindan fourth-tier monk, naturally wouldn't back down a bit because of this, not to mention he also wanted to find a suitable opponent to hone his cultivation base seriously.

Defeating these tree demons can not only pick some treasures, but also hone their cultivation. Even if their opponents are not defeated, they can also guarantee their own safety.

From the dungeon in the center of the earth to the woods where the tree demons are entrenched, it is only a cup of tea for a Jindan cultivator to move forward with all his strength. When he reaches the vicinity, Zhao Shoushou can't help but stop.

The location where the dryads gather is centered on the Qingshi Mountains. This is a dangerous place nearby. There are undulating mountains, deep forests and secluded valleys, dense monsters and beasts, and a lot of poisonous things, but it is full of spiritual energy and resources. The place can just meet the growth needs of the dryad.

In the Qingshi Mountains, there were often monks going there for adventures. Through the descriptions in some jade slips, Zhao Shoushou naturally knew something about it. It was precisely because he knew its horror that he hesitated at this time.

"Since you have received the mission, how can you back down when you are about to hit the door? It's just an investigation, as long as you are careful, there will be no danger." After Zhao Shoushou murmured for a while, he turned into a light and shadow and disappeared deep in the dense forest.

But he didn't know that when he was advancing, in the dense forest deep in the jungle, some big trees were constantly sending news. Through the natural attributes of the dryad, he could easily grasp all the changes around the forest, and this kind of detection method was still difficult. Interrupt, quite mysterious.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for monks in the foundation-building period to complete the investigation task as the tree monsters gather. These old and cunning tree monsters can be buried here with a little arrangement, and become the best blood food for them to cultivate new tree monsters and fertilizer.

"A golden core stage monk, if he can be killed and digested, the third-tier mid-tier is just around the corner"

"Delicious golden elixir, I don't know how long it has been since I tasted it last time, since I came here alone, naturally I can't let it go"

Some third-order dryads in the depths of the jungle are also constantly connecting together, and a Jindan stage blood eater is also a big temptation for them.

Chapter 625 From the Siege of the Dryad

In addition, these tree demons who have been promoted to the third level have also had a significant improvement in spiritual intelligence, and they have begun to understand some techniques of combining vertical and horizontal, so unless they are forced to, they will not fight one-on-one with the monks.

Zhao Shoushou was not clear about all these changes. After all, he had not been in the sub-continent for too long, and spent most of his time in closed-door training and being busy, so he still lacked common sense about some minorities.

In his subconscious experience, he always thought that except for a few monsters who naturally like to live in groups, it is difficult for these arrogant and independent guys to complete the battle against the enemy together.

Some wrong experiences will always bring some unforgettable lessons. Zhao Shoushou, who has always been cautious, will definitely suffer a loss in this, and it is inevitable to pay some price.

In the depths of the dense forest, three tree demons of the third rank were walking opposite Zhao Shoushou from different directions. One of the tree demons was in charge of the front, and the other two were outflanking one from the left and the other from the right.

Apparently, it was to prevent the enemy from being overwhelmed, so that Fang would not run away after finding three tree demons of the same level as enemies in the first battle. It was also a good strategy.

People hunt beasts, and beasts also hunt humans. This kind of mutual hunting started almost from the moment the cultivation world started, and it will continue.

The third-level tree demon can already get rid of the shackles of the earth to a certain extent. Although it is difficult to compare with the monks and monsters of the same level, it is still a big improvement.

Since they were facing each other, one side was here to investigate and the other side was besieging consciously. After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Shoushou had already met the tree demon in front of him and formed a confrontation.

The diameter of the tree demon's body is more than three feet, and even several grown men cannot hug it. Whenever it moves, a large number of branches and leaves are constantly shaking, and the momentum is quite huge.

It was for this reason that when the two were far apart, Zhao Shoushou had already discovered its existence, so he chose a relatively open place to wait for the tree demon to come.

This is a gently rising hillside, and it belongs to the remaining veins of the Qingshi Mountain Range. The hard stone has a certain restraint effect on the dryad itself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a tree demon with such a tall body, and such a long lifespan that should have grown over a thousand years, is really enviable." Looking at the huge tree demon, Zhao Shoushou had a completely irrelevant thought in his mind. idea.

It is said that the long lifespan of plant monsters is probably one of their greatest advantages. If there is no external damage, it will take at least five hundred to 800 years time.

With a little cultivation, one can enjoy the infinite power transmitted from the earth veins. It will take at least 500 years to be promoted from the first-level dryad to the third-level if everything goes well.

Whenever it reaches a new stage of cultivation, the dryad's body will undergo a revolutionary and clean upgrade to achieve the sublimation of life.

Even if a Tier 5000 Dryad no longer has any improvement in cultivation, it can enjoy at least [-] years of lifespan from promotion to fall, which adds up to nearly ten thousand years, which is really enviable.

Of course, all of this is theoretical. After all, once a tree demon has opened up his spiritual wisdom and embarked on the road of cultivation, he will definitely not be able to absorb the power of the earth veins to improve his cultivation level as before.

From that moment on, the dangers they face will also be greatly increased. In addition to the first time, there will also be searches and hunting from monks.

"Wow, wow!" The giant tree in front of me didn't know whether it had lived for 3000 or 5000 years. When Zhao Shoushou was not retreating, it had no other active means other than a long-distance attack with its long branches. This is obviously completely different from the aggressive state.

"Could it be that we are waiting for the siege of other tree demons? If you are not weak, let's attack first, how about testing his methods?" After some calculations in his mind, Zhao Shoushou quickly made up his mind.

"Brother Shu Dao, what is your intention here? Mr. Zhao just happened to pass by this place, and he has no grievances or enmities with the tree demon clan. Why don't you let Mr. Zhao go?" He asked. Start with a yell, trying to cause some fright.

"Clatter clatter" It's a pity that apart from the swaying of the leaves, there is no sound of response. This big tree seems to grow here.

"Since Daoist Shu insists on blocking someone's way here, Mr. Zhao is not welcome, I can only see the real chapter under his hand, imperial order" Only Zhao Shoushou yelled, no longer delaying, and the water gun turned into a figure Shot towards the dryad's abdomen.

The key point of the dryad lies in the heart of the tree, but the heart of each tree grows in a different position, so Zhao Shoushou had no way to determine it for a while.

However, the main branches of the tree demon near the root are also the second-class vital points. If enough damage is caused at these positions, it will definitely be able to cause serious damage to it.

Now that the dryad has been promoted to the third level, he is clear about his own shortcomings. Facing the menacing water control gun, the leaves and branches of large and small trees growing on the branches twisted in a mess. The shield has appeared before the eyes.

The appearance of the shield looks crude, but its quality is unquestionable, and there is more than one shield of this kind, actively attacking from four directions, obviously to keep the water control gun firmly out of a safe distance.

This is also the difficulty of the dryad. A general level of attack can't even cause the slightest damage to the dryad. It is difficult to open the situation for a while when facing the dryad who is not too flawed in defense and attack.

In addition to passive resistance, at the moment the battle started, the attack from the tree demon was naturally also indispensable. There was a shaking on the ground, and a rapid charge from the ground was surrounding him with lightning speed. Come.

Originally, Zhao Shoushou thought that the hard bluestone had no resistance at all. When this huge tree root was more than ten feet away from it, it was divided into four again, and came from four completely different directions.

Especially at the moment when it broke through the ground, it was like four poisonous snakes, attacking his vital parts steadily and fiercely, but any carelessness would pay the price of some blood.

"Hey, good time, Fascinating Clock, turn" Facing possible attacks, the monk who has always been cautious, how could he deal with it carelessly? A huge copper bell carved with complex patterns rose up, and in the rapid rotation, the powerful Tree roots are kept at a safe distance.

At the same time, there was a burst of sharp sound attack force like the sound of a copper bell rubbing against the air. The condensed force turned into a wave that directly acted on the roots of the big tree, splitting it alive.

"So it's the idea of ​​siege, want to bully the few with more?" At this moment, the momentum from two directions outside the forest finally appeared in front of my eyes, and two third-order tree monsters arrived at the predetermined position, one on the left and one on the right.

Chapter 626 The Battle between the Dryad and the Cultivator

Perhaps it was because of the increased confidence after receiving support, or because the Tier [-] Dryad was standing in front of him in order to prevent the blood in front of him from escaping, but his movements at this moment had improved significantly.
