This is also one of the reasons why flying spirit beasts or flying spirit weapons are the most expensive among monsters or spirit beasts of the same level in the comprehension world.
It's a pity that the number of flying spirit weapons is rare, which is more terrifying than imagined, and only some famous sects of the foundation-building stage monks or late-stage foundation-building monks are eligible to buy one of them.
For a cultivator like him who has built a foundation by chance through untold hardships, a defensive spirit weapon is still a difficult thing to solve, let alone the more precious flying spirit weapon?Perhaps in the future, it will be possible to have one only when the cultivation base is upgraded to the late stage of foundation establishment. Before that, one can only move forward cautiously to earn various resources.
After a stick of incense, as the distance progresses, sand lizards of various grades continue to appear around. The key is that these usually lawless guys are like a rectified army. Patrol on a fixed line.
You must understand that although the sand lizard is also a kind of monster, but limited by its poor talent, the intelligence of these little guys is pitiful. They basically rely on instinct to forage in the desert all their lives, even fighting each other. Not a few, there is no other emotion except chaos.
At present, these monsters have changed their old living habits in a big way. The only change in this situation is that some powerful monsters are deterring and rectifying based on their blood.
"Could it be that a powerful sand lizard really appeared here?" Thinking of this, Zhao Shoushou had a look of apprehension on his face.
Of course, these sand lizards of the first level and lower rank, who were patrolling on the periphery, couldn't find Zhao Shoushou who was deliberately hiding, so the progress along the way was smooth.
Some small accidents in the process of advancing are naturally unavoidable. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as approaching steadily, and being careful along the way until an hour later, an unbelievable scene appeared in front of you.
In an arid, desolate, barren desert pit with almost no green vegetation, thousands of sand lizards of different grades are busy building a huge underground cave.
And every sand lizard is walking along a fixed path, which is extraordinarily neat, and every monster is in order, which is very surprising.
"What kind of existence can make these grumpy guys obey the discipline like this? I don't know what's the plan?" Thinking of this, Zhao Shoushou felt chilly.
However, Zhao Shoushou firmly believed that if it was only a second-tier middle-low-grade sand lizard, it would be completely incapable of controlling so many sand lizards.
To achieve this kind of scene, it is only possible to achieve this kind of scene unless there are many second-level mid-lower sand lizards, or one third-level low-level sand lizard, and several second-level top-level sand lizards.
"Hiss hiss..." His good luck obviously came to an end, and soon his figure hidden behind the sand pile was discovered by a second-tier low-grade sand lizard.
This sand lizard didn't appear in the usual way, its figure was completely explored in the sand. Such a strange and novel method made Zhao Shoushou unprepared.
However, his reaction was also not slow. The sour wood bow that had been on standby in the dantian flashed in his hand, and a special blue-Tibet wood bow and arrow shot out. As a stream of light flashed across the second-level sand lizard, he was immediately taken seriously. trauma.
Not only did the sand lizard not retreat, but it became furious, and at the same time it screamed as if calling its companions around.
Seeing this situation, although Zhao Shoushou showed a trace of hesitation on his face, his hands moved even faster, and the lancet, which had not been seen for a long time, flickered and stabbed firmly into the sand lizard's neck.
However, this second-tier low-grade sand lizard obviously has not been promoted for a short time. Although the lancet caused some damage, it never really hit the vital point. The seemingly terrifying wound did not have a big impact on its combat effectiveness.
Zhao Shoushou's purpose is actually as mentioned above, to wear sand lizard fur with beautiful patterns, which will be used to make a second-level low-grade spiritual clothing in the future.
His movements were like stabbing a hornet's nest. Dozens of first-tier mid-to-high-grade sand lizards around him, and hundreds of sand lizards from farther away were constantly besieging him. His flaming eyes seemed to want to kill this It was as if the daring monk tore it into pieces and swallowed it in his stomach.
"Qingzang wooden bow and arrow, come out, sand lizard, fall" Zhao Shoushou yelled, and a special bow and arrow attacked again, and the sand lizard, which had already been seriously injured, fell on the spot under Zhao Shoushou's desperate and crazy attack.
When the strategic goal has been achieved and all the loot has been obtained, it is naturally not in his character to continue to charge forward bravely. It is the right choice to fight a bloody road before the numerous sand lizards surround him.
Therefore, I saw that the foundation-building stage monks who were still charging like a peerless warrior just now chose to break through in another direction with a small number of monsters.
"So what about the sand lizard kingdom? It's not about letting someone come and go freely, so happy!" After shooting several first-level top-grade sand lizards in succession, Zhao Shoushou finally left smoothly, obviously quite satisfied with the results of this trip.
Chapter 240 Array Flags and Dao Soldiers
"Hiss hiss" soon came a piercing sound, and not far away, several monsters whose movements were far more sensitive than ordinary sand lizards were moving forward at an extremely fast speed, and these monsters were gradually moving forward. Consciously forming a huge encirclement circle, trying to cut off his retreat.
"Three second-level low-grade sand lizards and one second-level middle-grade sand lizard are really generous, but it seems a bit late to dispatch, so I will go." There are so many sand lizards that are rarely seen on weekdays here. Zhao Shoushou was a little surprised by this scene.
This desert is famously arid and barren in the world of comprehension. It is known that there are only a small number of first-level middle and lower-level sand lizards appearing occasionally, which basically belong to the forbidden land of foundation-building monks or second-level monsters.
This is also the main reason why most of the monks who run the caravan of spirit camels between An and Xian prefectures are mainly monks in the Qi refining stage. Even if there are some dangers, they can be dealt with.
If the news of a large number of Tier [-] monsters gathering here spreads, not to mention whether it will attract the attention of various sects and families, just the disappearance of the spirit camel caravan, for the budding desert oasis The development is also a fatal blow.
Of course, for a casual cultivator who has no fixed foundation and lives everywhere, an oasis with a first-level top-grade spiritual vein is certainly important, but it is not impossible to give up. If one day the enemy is strong enough to threaten his life At that time, Zhao Shoushou would definitely choose to give up decisively.
At present, there are still many difficulties in the process of cultivation, but he doesn't want to sacrifice his freedom at the price. The major sects always welcome the recruitment of casual cultivators in the foundation establishment period.
It's just that once you join it, you will be more restricted by various sect rules, and in the first few decades or even hundreds of years, you will have to undergo various tests, basically there will not be much benefit.
All kinds of dangerous tasks need to be completed by monks from the foundation-building period who came from casual cultivators. Over a hundred years, more than half of them will die. However, there are still many monks with unrealistic fantasies who are like moths to a flame. part of.
If you choose to form an alliance with a family that is not outstanding in strength and has monks in the foundation period, the help that can be provided is quite pitiful, and even most of the time needs to be paid for nothing.
In fact, for most casual cultivators in the foundation-building period, with the improvement of their cultivation base, it seems that their status in the cultivation world will rise to a certain extent, but in fact there is not much room for choice.
However, these did not have much impact on Zhao Shoushou for a while. The pursuit of three second-level low-grade sand lizards and a second-level middle-grade sand lizard failed under the constant harassment of the sour wood bow. Surprised and escaped unharmed.
This does not mean that everything will be fine. Now that a large number of sand lizard kingdoms have been discovered here, Zhao Shoushou can't continue to relax, and there will be a lot of preparations for the next step.
Although this desert oasis can be given up, it is only a helpless choice at the last moment. Before that, he naturally needs to increase its power as soon as possible.
The most important of these is naturally the replacement of the large protective formation. Currently, what is arranged in the oasis is still the first-order high-grade cloud yarn phantom formation purchased by Zhao Shoushou before he was promoted to the foundation-building stage. It is considered suitable for use in the boundless desert, but unfortunately It is because the grade is too low, and it is far from enough to meet the needs of the foundation-building monks.
If the monks who come and go in the oasis on weekdays are mainly in the Qi refining period, the protection of this large array can be regarded as complementing each other, but after discovering a few second-level middle and low-grade sand lizards, it is time to replace them.
The best way to set up the formation is naturally to find a highly skilled second-order formation mage, according to the surrounding environment, adapt measures to local conditions, and use various precious spiritual materials as the basis of the formation to arrange a truly large formation.
For Zhao Shoushou, there are two conditions that are difficult to achieve. One is that there is no trusted formation master, and the other is that the consumption is too huge for him to bear.
What's more, there is only one first-tier high-grade spiritual vein in this oasis, and it is still difficult to support the real second-tier large formation, so it is destined to continue to use the formation flag.
Although the array flags are just a simplified layout of the array, each one is also expensive. In addition, the second-tier array flags are rare in the market, so you need to search carefully.
All of this needs to consume enough time. In order to complete it as soon as possible, Zhao Shoushou must act immediately, which should be achievable for a qualified foundation-building monk.
Another point is the Dao soldiers mentioned several times before. Some well-trained Dao soldiers are a real helper for casual cultivators when they face the enemy's invasion.
Even if the cultivation of Dao soldiers requires more energy and resources, it is the first choice for most capable casual cultivators. Of course, some famous sects will not let it go, and they even cultivate different Dao soldiers in different positions.
Once faced with the enemy's invasion, these accumulations accumulated over thousands of years can definitely give them a huge surprise, which is beyond doubt after the test of facts.
Zhao Shoushou naturally had no way to reach this level. Of course, this oasis is not a big spiritual lake, so naturally it can't carry too many Taoist soldiers, so we must be careful in the choice of types.
"The first-tier top-ranking money turtle is a good choice. It's a suitable rank and is good at defense. You only need to control the leader to control the entire group of turtles." After Zhao Shoushou pondered it carefully, the ultimate goal remained unchanged.
The first-class top-grade money turtle is a specialty of Jinlin Secret Territory. Every few years, the Royal Beast Sect will take out a batch of unhatched turtle eggs for sale. Therefore, although this kind of spirit beast is rare in the market, it is not. Can't get it, especially for a foundation-building monk.
As long as they are willing to pay a certain price, some shops with great supernatural powers are still willing to sell them. In the future, they only need to breed one or two turtles. Select the hatchlings with the best aptitude for breeding, and it will definitely be successful.
In addition to the above reasons for choosing the money turtle as the target, the most important point is that these little guys are usually extremely lazy and will not attract the attention of interested people.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, concealing one's own strength as much as possible, and constantly cultivating new killers will always be the goal that Zhao Shoushou tirelessly pursues.
The usefulness of Dao soldiers is naturally not so simple. As long as Zhao Shoushou has the spirit beast bag, he can change it to another new position at any time, and there is no time and space limit.
Under his all-out gallop, Zhao Shoushou managed to safely return to the oasis a day later, but he didn't stay for long. After giving Shui Zhihua detailed and tireless instructions, he left in the direction of Xianzhou go.
The goal of this trip is a large-scale market in the northern part of Xianzhou that belongs to the Yushoumen. Only here is it possible to purchase all the treasures at once.
Chapter 241 Tiger Head Monster on Tiger Head Mountain
The desert oasis is located in the southwest of Xianzhou. It is far away from Zhao Shoushou's target city. The straight-line distance between the two places is more than ten thousand miles. Along the way, it also needs to cross the territory that has belonged to monsters for generations.
If he hadn't had to buy a money turtle, how could Zhao Shoushou have chosen such a dangerous path?Even if it is a smooth journey, it will take up to a year to go back and forth. It is normal to add some consumption for two or three years.
Fortunately, most of the places he passed along the way were not very dangerous. Although Zhao Shoushou didn't have a defensive spirit weapon near him, based on his combat effectiveness, there shouldn't be a big problem with his safety.
Of course, with such a long distance, some monks from the Beast Control Gate would naturally not rush like him. There are teleportation arrays in some hidden locations.
It's just that the ownership of these teleportation formations is almost all in the hands of the major sects. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to ride at all, even if they pay some price, it is impossible. On this point, the attitudes of the major sects are unprecedentedly consistent.
However, there is nothing completely impossible in the world of comprehension. As long as the cultivation base reaches a certain level, these shackles will naturally disappear.
For example, the ancestors of the golden core period, no matter if they are casual cultivators, little guys, or sects, are all qualified to ride the teleportation array, but they only need to pay some spirit stones consumed during the teleportation process.
Zhao Shoushou will not be able to do this for a while, so he can only rely on his two legs, but this is also a good opportunity to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge.
Reading thousands of books is not as important as traveling thousands of miles. This is equally important for monks. Whether it is chance or other gains, it is possible to discover and gain in the process.
The array flags and Taoist soldiers seemed to be in a hurry, but in a certain way, they were not too anxious. For him, he only needed to follow the steps along the way.
Time passed as Zhao Shoushou continued to move forward, and the journey went smoothly until two months later, a mountain range that looked like a tiger's head blocked his way.
"There is a tiger head mountain in Xianzhou, and there is a tiger head monster on the tiger head mountain. The tiger head monster loves to eat people's hearts." This is a song widely spread in Xianzhou, which shows that the monks are afraid of the tiger head monster.
This Hutou mountain is also the main reason why the north and south of Xianzhou are almost divided into two, and it is difficult to communicate. Only some monks in the foundation period and even monks in the golden core period can pass through.
Tiger head monsters are a special variant of tiger monsters. They have the body of a tiger and are stronger than normal tiger monsters, but they have three heads with different attributes.
The tiger head in the middle is the main one, which is generally of metal or fire attribute, and the left and right sides are respectively of wood and water attributes, and the three heads are independent of each other and cooperate with each other. Once fighting, the combat power displayed should not be underestimated.
Because of the need to face simultaneous attacks of three different attributes at the same time, under normal circumstances, monks of the same level will basically be at a disadvantage. This is one of the main reasons why most monks are unwilling to pass through this place.
Fortunately, tiger-headed monsters are subject to innate factors and are greatly restricted in reproduction, so the number of their entire group is only about a hundred.
Occupying a huge and continuous mountain range with a small number, if you are lucky enough to cross it safely halfway, it is also possible. In the cultivation world, there are also a group of desperate monks in the Qi refining period, transporting a large amount of goods to shuttle among them, as long as they succeed once You can earn enough spirit stones to support several years of practice.
Of course, Zhao Shoushou will not pin all his hopes on luck. Relatively speaking, the breath of life contained in the body of the monks in the foundation period will be stronger, and the attraction to special monsters like tiger head monsters will also increase proportionally. .
From this point of view, monks in the Qi refining period obviously have an advantageous position. Most monks in the foundation building period want to go through some hard work if they want to pass through it safely. If they win, they will pass, and if they fail, they will naturally fall.
One thing that needs to be paid special attention to is that under normal circumstances, it is forbidden to kill tiger-headed monsters, because this will make these tiger-headed monsters hold more hatred for human monks, and thus chase and kill more monks who passed by.
Tiger head monsters have low intelligence and are more sensitive to hatred. Once they are contaminated with the relevant bloody smell, they will encounter more siege next time they pass by.
"I hope everything goes well, so-and-so's luck has always been good." For this kind of special monster whose reputation has spread widely, Zhao Shoushou is naturally like a thunderbolt.
Therefore, when facing this strangely shaped Hutou Mountain, it is natural that it is unprecedentedly cautious, and there is no thought of making mistakes here.
Of course, since the powerful tiger-head monsters occupy this place, it is naturally a blessed place with good spiritual veins, and there are also some spiritual medicines growing, and there are many types.
But for the time being, I don't have too many thoughts about these. Of course, it's not that Zhao Shoushou can overcome the greed in his heart like calm water in the face of treasures. Instead, the main reason is that he doesn't want to have too much conflict with the tiger-headed monsters. These elixir are also important to them A rare treasure.
A tiger-headed monster can become a first-rank low-rank monster when it breaks its shell, and a second-rank low-rank monster when it becomes an adult. Some talented tiger-headed monsters can even break through to the second-rank top-rank. According to legend, there was even a third-rank monster. Low-grade monsters.
This is also the reason why he has always been very jealous compared to the sand lizard. Of course, this Hutou mountain alone cannot stop its progress, so Zhao Shoushou, the Fangshi under the Yushou mountain, must go to have a look.
Therefore, after making detailed preparations, I saw him decisively embarking on the way forward, but most of the time he was traveling on the periphery of Hutou Mountain, and only in desperation would he go to the depths of the mountains.
Zhao Shoushou's walking speed was not considered fast, and he had only traveled half of the distance two days later. This was also the most dangerous time, as most tiger-headed monsters inhabited this place with the most spiritual power.
"A second-rank low-grade aster flower, is it luck or bad luck?" Zhao Shoushou smiled wryly, and couldn't help laughing at the current scene. robbery.
It would be a happy thing to encounter a low-rank second-rank spirit flower in other places, but it is not a good thing here in Hutou Mountain.
Every mature spirit flower must be guarded by a tiger head monster of comparable level, which also means that his plan to sneak past the tiger head mountain has failed.
"Hoho..." Sure enough, before Zhao Shoushou left, a thunderous tiger's roar spread, and special halos surrounded him from all directions.
The words "dragons follow the clouds, winds follow the tigers" have already made the characteristics of tiger monsters clear, not to mention that it is a second-order monster similar to the foundation building period, and its speed is unparalleled. Three fierce tigers had already charged at him viciously.
Chapter 242
"What a ferocious tiger-headed monster!" Hearing Zhao Shoushou's strange cry, his figure retreated hastily. At the same time, the lancet, which had been prepared for close combat, flickered out with layers of cold light, until Run to the heart of his heart.
Zhao Shoushou had no room to retreat in front of this ferocious tiger-headed monster that won with its speed. The only choice was to repel it head-on, so as to win a chance of life.
The other point is to show a strong fighting power, which made him a little jealous, and with a firm fighting will, he repelled him head-on, so that he passed the Hutou Mountain smoothly. Of course, he would not kill him unless he was forced to.
After all, in the foreseeable future, Zhao Shoushou needs to return again, and he doesn't want to be hunted down by a large number of tiger-headed monsters when he returns in the future.
The tiger head monster's intelligence is relatively low in the same level, but they have an advantage that other monsters can never have.
As long as the monks have not seized the treasures they guard, they will not engage in desperate fights, and sometimes they will take the initiative to get out of the way when they realize that they cannot win.
This is also the main reason why the Tiger-headed Monster Clan was able to securely occupy this spiritual mountain located in the center of Xianzhou with abundant resources with a small number.
Of course, if the monks showed a slight slump or the will to retreat during the battle, these guys who also love blood and food would definitely not die endlessly, but generally speaking, the chances of the monks in the foundation building period falling here are not too great.
As long as you deal with it carefully and pass it safely, there should be no problem. This is why Zhao Shoushou insists on going all the way and is unwilling to detour.
"The fire in the middle, the wood on the left, and the soil on the right are quite tricky to deal with." After a round of spiritual blows, Zhao Shoushou finally stood firm.
Regardless of whether it was the fire attribute fire rain technique, the wood attribute ten thousand trees into a forest, or the earth attribute turning mud into marshes, under his repeated responses, although he was very embarrassed, he did not suffer too much injury.
Naturally, the opposite Tier [-] low-grade tiger head monster did not get any benefits. Under the entanglement of the lancet, the sour wood bow left a deep wound on the right rear of its body taking advantage of a slight opportunity.
"Roar..." the tiger-headed monster let out a hoarse roar, which contained a very clear taste of being strong outside but doing nothing. In the absence of conflicts of interest, this big guy was unwilling to continue entanglement.
After all, in the world of monsters and beasts, the strong are kings. If they were seriously injured in the battle with Zhao Shoushou, this second-tier low-grade aster flower would definitely be taken away. This is just unacceptable for tiger-headed monsters. .
"Brother Hu, you and I met by chance, and there is no hatred between us. Mr. Zhao has no malicious intentions, but just wants to borrow the way. If Brother Hu has no objection, how about you and I stop each other?" Zhao Shoushou did not relax his vigilance. , but he was asking tentatively, and at the same time he was slowly stepping back to show his sincerity.
"Hoho..." There was a trace of entanglement and doubt in the tiger-headed monster's eyes, but he took advantage of this opportunity to retreat ten feet away. Seeing that the tiger-headed monster was just being aggressive, he didn't bother to dodge and leave quickly.
Although the fierce battle with the tiger head monster was endless, it brought good luck in the back, and left the tiger head mountain smoothly along the way, and finally arrived at the famous beast gate after eight months of hard work Fangshi.
Even as a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhao Shoushou suffered a lot along the way, walking through barren mountains, miasma, swamps, and monsters.
Especially when it is within a thousand miles of the Yushou Mountain, there are a lot of monsters, all of which are used by the newcomers of the Yushoumen to find the first Yushou.
However, these monsters are obviously unfriendly to outsiders, and the various attack methods that emerge in an endless stream have made many monks completely overwhelmed.
