Practice begins with a fisherman

This mid-Golden Core cultivator felt a little unsatisfied. For him, the more treasures like tree hearts, the better.

"The battle of ambushes and killings we waited for just now has overwhelmed the snake, and the third-level tree demon already has a numerical advantage. Wouldn't it be a sheep to go to it alone at this time?" Tian Huangshi was a little puzzled.

Strength determines status and ideas. For Qian Bigen and Wei Yihua, as long as they are careful, they will not have any safety hazards even if they do not gain anything when they go deep into the dense forest.

On the contrary, for the golden core early stage monks who occupy the largest number, once they are surrounded by tree demons, the end may not be too good.

What's more, the IQ of the third-level dryad is no longer too far behind that of ordinary monks, and it understands the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

Under the same conditions and the same strength, the first choice must be to besiege and kill the monks in the early stage of Jindan before discussing other things. This is why Tian Huangshi has doubts.

"Whether or not to travel alone is up to each individual's choice. If you feel that your own strength is not enough, you can also form a team. I don't care about the specific form." Qian Bigen looked indifferent.

"I also traveled alone in advance, such a rich spoil, but I don't want to share it with others." Wei Yihua also expressed his attitude at the first time.

Zhao Shoushou didn't have too many opinions on going deep into it. With the passage of time and the previous battle with the tree demon, he had a detailed control over his cultivation of the fourth level of the golden core, and he thought he had more Strong self-preservation power.

If you are lucky enough to go deep into the Qingshi Mountains, you can hunt down one or two tree demons to get some valuable tree hearts. Consider teaming up with others to venture into it.

It has been nearly 30 years since I joined the Earth Core Dungeon, but I have never had the opportunity to join hands with other monks to fight against the enemy. What I know about the temperament of the Jindan monks is only superficial.

What's more, once you get something from it or fall into danger, you have to pay more, and there is no absolute trust between the two parties, so naturally they will not rush to join forces.

"Mr. Zhao has always been a loner. Since it was the order of Patriarch Bei this time, he had to go to the Qingshi Mountains, and he is not planning to join forces. Let's go first." He disappeared without a trace, leaving no chance for others to speak at all.

The direction he chose was still the northeast, which was basically the same as the route of the previous investigation, the only difference was the full use of the Breath Containing Art.

Eat a ditch to gain wisdom. The last time I was besieged because of the leak of breath, I will naturally not make the same old mistakes at this time, and I try to choose some routes with sparse vegetation or at least no towering trees in the process of moving forward. For this reason, I would rather Extending the route is also at your expense.

"He's an interesting little guy. Since someone has already gone ahead, Lao Qian is not welcome." Qian Bigen chose to leave in a different direction.

Since Wei Yihua was also preparing to walk alone, he naturally wouldn't continue to dawdle, and the third left after him. The remaining three Golden Core cultivators smiled wryly and hugged each other. In the end, they could only choose one direction each, and did not choose a direction. Join forces against the enemy.

The relationship between monks has always been extremely indifferent, and only some monks who are blood relatives or who grew up with the same master Xixia will have some basic trust. Naturally, there is no relevant soil.

Let's say that after Zhao Shoushou left, he was very careful along the way, and only after repeated confirmation that there were no potential safety hazards would he continue to move forward.

"It is said that some third-order dryads live for a long time. They absorb the power of the earth veins for a long time and have the opportunity to form land-defense orbs. It is also beneficial to the improvement of monks' cultivation." income.

It's just that his cultivation base was low at that time, and most of the third-level dryads were just regarded as a legendary existence. Who would have thought that the dream would come true one day.

The legend about the Shutu Orb has never been heard on the subcontinent, which means that this is a fairly secret news, and it is also an opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune silently.

Of course, the premise of all this is that it is necessary to find a location where the third-order dryad has been stationed for a long time, has abundant spiritual power, and has relatively superior comprehensive conditions.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Shoushou insisted on going his own way and was unwilling to walk with others.

Chapter 630 Pine Nuts and Spiritual Liquid

As for Patriarch Bei's order to wait for an opportunity to kill the third-order tree demon and weaken the enemy's vitality, it has long been forgotten, and he will only act when he is sure of victory. Zhao Shoushou firmly believes that the other five monks Even Qian Bigen, who was in the later stage of Jindan, had the same idea.

Perhaps the biggest gain of this trip is that at the beginning, the six Golden Core cultivators went all out to attack and kill the patrol team of the tree demon.

Ancestor Bei naturally understood the lazy temperament of these monks, or he had never placed too much hope on these monks at all.

This patriarch who has been so powerful for nearly a thousand years must pay more attention to another team of third-order spirit beasts he personally cultivated. The six Golden Core monks are more likely to attract the attention of the tree demon. Isn't the so-called "striking at the east and the west" exactly the same?

In the realm of comprehension, every Yuanying patriarch is a supernatural existence, and the thoughts in his heart are naturally not something that Zhao Shoushou and others can easily guess.

Naturally, the six Golden Core cultivators including Zhao Shoushou would not be too concerned. For example, at this time, he was hanging his body on a raised cliff, observing more than ten second-order tree monsters from a distance. Just beheaded a group of second-order monsters and was distributing the spoils.

All those who fell on the ground were monsters similar to wolves. After falling, they were all tied up by the hanging branches and leaves very familiarly and easily, and placed on different positions on the big trees. The Dryad slowly disappeared into the depths of the woods.

"It turns out that these dryads are also quite eager for blood food. If you use the restraining breath formula with all your strength and follow behind these second-level dryads, I don't know if you can gain anything." Suddenly, a brand new idea flashed in his mind.

Strictly speaking, the dryad is also a special kind of social monster. The leaders of the small groups headed by the third-order dryad live in different locations in the huge forest.

And the gathering of tree demons this time is only to summon tree demons above the third level, and a large number of first-level and second-level dryads are still distributed in different locations in the dense forest.

Once awakened to spiritual wisdom and embarked on the road of practice, the tree demon community is basically equivalent to a society of all sizes and distinct levels.

The fourth-order dryad is the king of all the dryads in the Qingshi Mountains, the third-order dryad is equivalent to the governor of the border, the second-order dryad is the backbone of the tree demon kingdom, and the first-order dryad is naturally the bottom. exist.

In each large and small community, there are naturally places where the third-order tree demon body has been stationed for a long time, and these places must also be the places with the best comprehensive conditions in the entire community, and the chance of the land-defending orbs appearing is naturally the best. possible.

The number of third-order dryads in a tree demon community varies. A weak community may have only one tree demon, and there are basically two or three tree demons in normal groups.

Of course not too many, no matter how excellent a ground vein is, it cannot withstand the sucking of too many third-level dryads for years at the same time.

If you are lucky enough, you may encounter some Tier [-] Dryads who stay in the group. If you are sure to win one-on-one, you naturally don't mind getting more loot.

After thinking clearly about the key points, Zhao Shoushou acted quickly, hanging far behind the second-order dryad. Because of their large number, there was no possibility of losing them.

The second-order dryad is equivalent to a monk in the foundation-building period. Although it has been strengthened by a promotion, it is still bound by the earth to a certain extent, and its progress is relatively slow.

It was not until half a day later that they took root near a clear stream and began to enjoy the spoils of the trip. The wolf corpses were absorbed by a large number of branches and leaves, and soon turned into mummified corpses.

The dryad will definitely not waste any of its spoils. The worthless corpses are all buried in the roots of the body one by one, and they are prepared to be completely digested in accordance with the principle of waste utilization.

"There are first-order dryads on the outside, more than thirty second-order dryads guarding the middle, and two third-order dryads' lairs in the middle. There is only one pine tree demon in the lair. Mr. Zhao is lucky." It's easy for Zhao Shoushou to gain something, because the aura of the third-level tree demon is quite obvious without actively hiding it.

In addition to the heart of the tree, the pine tree demon produces pine nuts that are also a valuable spiritual fruit. In addition, this pure earth attribute tree demon is also very helpful for the formation of the Shutu orb.

In addition, the fighting power of the Pine Tree Demon is not too strong. Its main role in the community is auxiliary tasks. Its roots produce three to five drops of special psychic liquid every ten years, which can be used to actively enlighten some good-quality trees to open Lingzhi embarks on the road of practice, and it will not have any side effects on its own qualifications and future.

"If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed. It's due to someone like Zhao getting rich today, and a pine tree demon is nothing but nothing." The voice hadn't disappeared completely, and Zhao Shoushou's figure flashed again, and he had successfully crossed the defensive circle formed by the second-level tree demon.

According to common sense, with his strength, he couldn't achieve such a speed, and all the credit is due to a pair of high-priced third-order middle-grade flying body treasure amulets attached to a pair of feet.

This was specially purchased in Fang City, the underground city in the center of the earth before departure, and I was not willing to sacrifice it before. At this time, it is appropriate to use it to hunt the pine tree demon with lightning speed.

"Huh, huh, huh!" Zhao Shoushou's figure had already disappeared, and a large number of Tier [-] tree monsters had just reacted. Unfortunately, they could only watch the target flee, and the duty of guard was never fulfilled.

Not to mention the dereliction of duty of these second-level tree demons, when Zhao Shoushou appeared beside the pine tree demon at an extremely fast speed, it only had time to wave some thick branches and leaves to intercept it.

Obviously, this level of attack is far from enough for a middle-stage Golden Core cultivator with a clear goal. I saw his blindly moving figure easily dodging the interception of the pine branches at a strange angle. Without any hesitation, he rushed straight to the pine demon's body.

Zhao Shoushou made a quick decision just in case. After all, this is the old lair of the dryad. Once the battle is stalemate or the delay is too long, it will attract more support from the third-level dryad. Make a fuss.

Through a series of previous battles with the third-order dryads, they have a clear understanding of the weaknesses of these guys. Apart from the main body, there are no other obvious shortcomings.

"It coincides with the time when the pine tree demon produces the psychic liquid, and Zhao is really lucky." Looking at the drops of psychic liquid that were condensing at the roots of the pine tree demon, Zhao Shoushou's morale immediately increased.

As the most important output, every time he condenses spiritual fluid, he is at his weakest, and his combat power, which is not considered strong, may only be half left.

That being the case, Zhao Shoushou naturally wouldn't dawdle any longer. When he got close to the pine tree demon's body, the water control gun carried a huge force and stabbed fiercely at the position where the pine tree demon was producing spiritual liquid with an unstoppable posture.

Chapter 631 The confrontation between the ancestor Yuanying and the fourth-order tree demon

During the battle, his peripheral vision was paying attention to the quantity and quality of one of the important trophies, the third-order pine nuts.

The energy contained in each third-order pine nut is basically equivalent to one-third to half of a spirit pill of the same level. It may not seem like much, but it is superior in that there is no erysipelas, and the refining process can continue.

Moreover, these pine nuts are quite easy to refine, and they can also be used to replenish the mana in the golden core at critical moments in battle. How can Zhao Shoushou not pay attention to such an important use?

In addition, the psychic liquid produced by it is not only used to enlighten the spiritual wisdom of the tree demon, but also has an effect on the advancement of spiritual beasts. It is impossible to say that the chances of the two cormorants being promoted to the third level will eventually fall on these psychic liquids .

The two cormorants followed him all the way, and played a very important or indispensable role in his early cultivation career.

It's a pity that with the improvement of the cultivation base, it is ultimately limited by its own aptitude, and the cultivation base has dropped a little bit. Even with Zhao Shoushou's full help, so far it is only the second-rank top-rank. As far as the monks are concerned, they have gradually been unable to keep up with his pace.

If you can take this opportunity to break through the bottleneck and advance to the third level with the help of the spiritual liquid, you can be with you again and venture into the cultivation world together. Otherwise, you will continue to face failure, and I am afraid that you will never be able to advance to the third level in the future.

Of course, after he was successfully promoted, his help should not be underestimated. A mid-Gold Core monk and two third-tier low-grade spirit beasts teamed up, even a late-Gold Core monk would not dare to underestimate him.

No matter how you look at it, the pine tree demon in front of him must become his trophy. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Shoushou's movements are quite sharp.

In addition to the water gun used as a striker, the Fascinating Clock came out again, but this time its function was completely different from the past. It was not purely defensive, but fully exerted its sound attack effect.

Turned into a big stick with mana and struck violently on the Fascinating Clock. After each strike, bursts of sound waves appeared out of thin air, surrounded the pine tree demon and cut off the dense leaves around it. , aiming at weakening its foliage in the first place.

"If you have all kinds of means, Mr. Zhao can just attack with one force. After cutting off all the leaves and leaving only a bare trunk, what else can you do?" The sneer in the language is no matter what Nothing can be hidden.

Under the entanglement of the water control gun and the sound attack of the fascination clock, it was only half a cup of tea, and only about half of the originally lush branches and leaves on the entire pine tree demon remained.

This level of attack is also a big burden for monks, and a large amount of mana is continuously consumed in a double or even triple state.

Under the circumstances that the pine demon could not resist by other means, this method seemed clumsy but was quite effective. According to the current trend, it only took half an hour to end the battle.

As the battle continued to deepen and intensify, the Pine Tree Demon seemed to sense something was wrong. After feeling the threat to his life, he no longer cared about the brewing of the spiritual liquid. A large number of thick and powerful roots turned into strips containing a trace of toxin. His long whip struck through the air.

The power contained in it is unquestionable, every root is almost like splitting the sky, endlessly.

He can understand the pine demon's frustration. These spiritual liquids are the basis for the expansion of a tree demon group. Now they are suddenly destroyed, and the quality has been greatly reduced after being affected.

However, it seemed a little late at this time, and it was completely impossible to regain control of the battle situation when the monks already had a sufficient advantage.

In Zhao Shoushou's continuous attack like a storm, half an hour later, the towering tree collapsed after a miserable scream. This battle can be regarded as an end. In his eyes, in the face of absolute strength, he is not qualified to be his enemy at all.

In order to prevent the support of more third-tier dryads from falling into the dangerous place again, after collecting the loot, he ran away immediately, and didn't dare to stay here too much.

"The two orbs of the land defense are equivalent to at least three months of penance after refining. The spoils obtained from this adventure are at least worth three thousand high-grade spirit stones. It can be regarded as a fruitful harvest and a worthwhile trip." After leaving the forest in the Qingshi Mountains After reaching the range, he was truly relieved.

Before leaving, after turning over the two obvious tree pits with mana as a fulcrum, I was quite satisfied with the two orbs I got, after all, they were not wasted in vain.

Half a month later, the atmosphere in the dungeon in the center of the earth was quite tense, and it was already on the verge of a battle. It turned out that after the last counterattack, the monks hunted and killed five third-level dryads, and the spirit beasts used their own advantages to hunt down seven three-level trees. The first-order dryads, a total of twelve third-order dryads can be said to be full of harvest, and even received awards from the ancestor Bei.

The consequence was naturally the counterattack from the dryad side in front of them. After clearly feeling enough pain, the two fourth-order dryads decisively led the sons under their command to encircle the dungeon in the center of the earth airtightly in just one night.

According to the battles between monks and monsters in the past, there will always be a way of life for the high-level monks in the dungeon, so as not to cut off the way of life for the monks, put them to death and fight to the death and cause more damage.

This time the tree demon was obviously out of breath under the cultivator's counterattack, and was ready to kill them all regardless of their own casualties.

"It's just some tree demons who are not good enough. They were defeated by my ancestors many years ago. Let's see how I will retreat from the enemy." The war is on the verge of breaking out, and the ancestor Bei, who was at the peak of the early Yuanying period, said proudly .

As if to improve one's own aura, the words just fell, a powerful aura unique to the Nascent Soul stage rose into the sky, and a large number of clouds in the originally calm sky kept changing their different shapes, coming and going quite lively, It is also correspondingly cooperating with the Yuanying ancestor.

"Since you have the guts to come and surround the dungeon, do you have the guts to come out and fight?" Old Ancestor Bei floated in mid-air, and took the initiative to challenge the two fourth-order tree demons opposite.

"Old Ancestor Bei's personality is still so fiery, why is he so anxious? I don't know if my old friend's skills have improved over the years?" Among the huge tree demon group, a monk who was only one meter tall and looked like a child floated a little bit in the air. Standing in the air out of thin air, he calmly confronted Old Ancestor Bei.

"We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. It's enough to fight each other. Why don't you come out and meet with another fellow Taoist?" Old Ancestor Bei didn't take it to heart, especially in a one-on-one situation. Under the situation that there is a certainty of victory.

"It's just a new Nascent Soul, how dare you act presumptuously in front of Patriarch Bei?"

Chapter 632

"Fellow Daoist, do you still want to stop this old man by yourself? Do you really think this old man is made of mud?" Amidst the non-discriminatory tone of the other party, Old Ancestor Bei suddenly became furious.

"The younger generation is naturally not the opponent of Old Ancestor Bei, but it is not a problem to entangle one or two. I wonder if the remaining monks may block another battle of the same level?" The tree demon side has obviously made up their minds and is ready to rely on absolute strength. Take the dungeon in the center of the earth in one pot.

Although the other Tier [-] Dryad was just a newcomer, it was not something that other Golden Core cultivators could resist. Hearing this statement, the cultivators who had high morale were inevitably discouraged for a while.

The Jindanqi monks headed by Qian Bigen have already begun to scan the surrounding situation with their spiritual consciousness, lest they become the first spoils of another fourth-order tree demon.

This mysterious tree demon, who has never shown up, will definitely use the Golden Core stage monks as a breakthrough point, and the most dangerous one is naturally the only Golden Core late stage monk, Qian Bigen.

"It's such a big tone. I want to stop the old man with my own strength, but have you ever prepared to fall? The Soul Falling Orb, order" to strike first to be strong and then to suffer disaster. Since you are at a disadvantage behind your own strength and numbers, It is necessary to seize the opportunity in the battle.

Old Ancestor Bei is fine if he doesn't make a move, and once he makes a move, he will go all out. The Falling Soul Orb is his natal magic weapon carefully cultivated. After many years of cultivation, it is already in the top state of the third-order top-grade magic weapon. The next step is just a step away.

Although this is not the magic weapon of the highest quality in his body, it is better than a tacit understanding and effective command. It is appropriate to use it here, and there is nothing wrong with it.

This falling soul bead is also the famous magic weapon of the old ancestor Bei. It is good at attacking the soul, and it has a miraculous effect on some monsters with weak souls.

Since this fourth-order tree demon had fought against ancestor Bei, he had personally tasted the power of this magic weapon. When the falling soul orb drew a beautiful horizontal line in the air, the fourth-order tree demon, who looked like a child, Standing motionless on the spot, he opened his mouth and spewed out a jet of dark black flame with a slight fishy smell.

With a wave of his small hands, bulges appeared on the ground, which immediately attracted the surrounding soil and rocks to condense on his body, and more than ten natives who were more than ten feet tall appeared in front of him.

Judging from the aura exuded by these natives, they are basically equivalent to monks ranging from mid-Golden Core to late-Golden Core, and their strength should not be underestimated.

If Old Ancestor Bei wasn't standing in front of them, these natives alone would have been enough to easily wipe out the six Golden Core cultivators. From this point, we can have a clear understanding of the gap between Nascent Soul and Golden Core.

"Pediatrics hundreds of years ago, I'm so disappointed. Falling Soul Orb, Divide, Extinguish" Ancestor Bei contemptuously cast a spell, more than ten red and white smoke suddenly spewed out from the Falling Soul Orb, and entangled each other On the body of the native.

The native who had just been born and hadn't had time to cast his mana, turned into white smoke and dust again in three or five breaths, and returned to the ground again.

Since Old Ancestor Bei was going to fight quickly, he naturally couldn't just rely on a Falling Soul Orb, other means followed closely behind. The killing intent of the three ancient treasures, one knife, one sword, and one spear, surrounded the fourth-order tree demon in awe-inspiring manner. .

Judging from the supreme patterns on the surface of the three ancient treasures, all of them are the top existence among the ancient treasures. As soon as Fang attacked, the tree demon, who had been calm all this time, frowned deeply in the shape of Sichuan.

"The correct choice is to quickly call out another little friend. These are just warm-up methods for pediatrics. I'm going to make a real move." There was a hint of indescribable pride in Old Ancestor Bei's flat tone.

This also comes from the confidence after completely suppressing a dryad of the same level to control the battle situation. The two Yuanying ancestors kept rising into the air during the battle, and even the aftermath of the battle avoided as much as possible. There are a large number of low-level monks and dryads.

At this time, the figure of one person and one tree demon had completely disappeared. Only the sky sometimes thundered, sometimes crimson dyed half of the sky, and sometimes reflected large rivers and lakes and other celestial phenomena. Only then did the monks below understand that the battle was not over yet, And in an atmosphere of increasing tension.

Another newly promoted Tier [-] Dryad has never shown his figure, but it does not affect the outbreak of the battle below. The side of the Dryad who has an absolute superiority in numbers, led by more than twenty Tier [-] Dryads, rushed to the battle. In the dungeon in the center of the earth, there was an impact on the defensive front that had already been built.

The Qi-refining period monks in the dungeon in the center of the earth have already completed preparations and are eager to try. Under the leadership of two to three foundation-building period monks in units of a hundred, after the low-level dryads enter the attack range, they will suddenly explode. The collective spell that has been honed countless times is cast.

Or the boundless water arrows, or the overwhelming fireballs, or the countless ground thorns along the way, or the golden arrows that take the lead.
