Stone Forest Island.
There is a peak on the island, and there is a warlock on this peak. The warlock's name is Meng Fan.
At this moment, Meng Fan was practicing with the vitality stone in a large hall.
At a certain moment, Meng Fan opened his eyes.
"Sure enough, the mid-grade Vitality Stone is different. The low-grade Vitality Stone is no longer of much use to the late Warlock. Originally, I thought that coming to the Red Sea this time would be a bad luck for eight lifetimes. Promotion to the Mage is already slim. Now, when we reach the Red Sea, we have no hope. I never thought that this would be my chance." Meng Fan couldn't help but smile when he thought that in the past year, he had been able to use the middle-grade vitality stone to practice every now and then. Thinking of this, Meng Fan couldn't help but smile. Looking in one direction, there was a ferocious beast over there, no, according to the beast control mage, it was a king insect.
"Beast Control Mage is indeed worthy of the name of beast control. Originally, I was worried that this ferocious beast would be difficult to command and that there was a danger of backlash. Unexpectedly, although he could not command as he pleased during battle, he was usually very obedient, as long as there was enough food. , it won’t fly around." Meng Fan was a little jealous of the king insect. It would be great if the king insect belonged to him. Unfortunately, he had a temporary contract.
"Next, we have to patrol again." Meng Fan couldn't help but walk out of his residence when he thought of this.
Meng Fan, a warlock, temporarily made a contract with the Red Turban King Insect, one of Zhang Changkong's two king insects that are good at flying. After he contracted this king, he had one more task. This task was every three or five times. Yue needs to patrol various islands. Like him, there is another warlock who has contracted with the King Insect.
Within a year, Meng Fan needs to patrol once or twice. When other small islands are in danger, the imperial envoy Wang Chong will replace Zhang Changkong to rescue him.
Every year when he reported on his patrol, Zhang Changkong would give him 500 middle-grade vitality stones, which would be more than 20,000 low-grade vitality stones. This was because it was more dangerous to run around at sea, so Zhang Changkong gave him so many yuan-qi stones. , otherwise, a warlock is simply not worth spending so many vitality stones.
Generally, warlocks are relatively poor. Most of the vitality stones that the sect has are invested in various formations. The remaining mages are distributed and the excess is stored in the warehouse. Only a small part will fall into the hands of warlocks.
And even if a warlock is lucky enough to discover a vein of vitality stone, it will be forcibly confiscated by the sect unless one develops it secretly.
For a sect, a warlock with good qualifications can practice to the late stage of warlock with external vitality and a small amount of vitality stones, and there is a glimmer of hope to be promoted to a mage. However, if the qualifications are not good, giving vitality stones is a waste. Sects generally treat warlocks as As thugs, only a small number of cores will be better trained. Otherwise, the warlocks in the general sect will be replaced within a hundred years. Generally, the warlocks in the sect will look like thousands of warlocks. Spending money on one warlock. A hundred thousand low-grade vitality stones would cost over 100 million in a hundred years. A small vitality stone vein would disappear in a hundred years. Whether a sect can find a vitality stone vein in a hundred years is a matter of debate. If the vitality stones cannot make ends meet, the realm is large. What to do with the array, what to do with the sect’s array, what to do with the mage’s practice?
Every sect needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and reducing expenditure must start from the fundamentals.
Therefore, many warlocks live a relatively hard life, like Zhang Changkong, who did not receive many vitality stones in the Xiangshan Sect.
Meng Fan sat on the Red Scarf Insect and felt that this year he came to the Red Sea was the most comfortable life for him. He didn't have to spend ten or twenty yuan in camp day and night, and spent one or two months every year enjoying the sea breeze, so he could be stable. In cultivation, if I had had so many Qi Stones twenty or thirty years ago, I might have been preparing to be promoted to a mage.
"However, these days, there are many sea beasts around Stone Forest Island, which has brought a lot of trouble to the island. I don't know if it is like this on other small islands." Meng Fan thought of this and felt a little uneasy. He was here for the first time. I don't know what's going on here in the Red Sea Islands. I asked the mortals on the island, and I didn't even know. Many of them were even meeting the Sea Serpent Clan for the first time.
"Damn, the sects on the Red Sea Islands are really shameless. They just asked us to help them guard the sea. They didn't even prepare basic information for us. They just gave us some popular common sense information." Thinking of this, Meng Fan was a little unhappy. They had come all the way here, but the sects on the Red Sea Islands did not give them any benefits and required them to bring their own dry food. They did not even give detailed information on the enemy. They simply did not treat them as human beings.
"If you see the so-called decent disciples of the Red Sea on the sea, you must kill them." Meng Fan thought of this, glanced at the bugs under him, and was determined. As for whether it would affect the defense of other sea areas, then No matter what happened to Meng Fan, he, Meng Fan, was forced to be thrown into a ghost place like the Red Sea by his sect, and he was still very angry.
"Bang!"
Abruptly, streams of water shot out from the sea, piercing directly towards the Red Scarf King Insect like steel spears.
Fortunately, the Red Scarf King Insect flew higher, and a wall of wind blocked the attack before the water gun could hit it.
Meng Fan didn't know what was going on, but he was thrown to pieces. It turned out that the red scarf king insect was also ferocious in nature. After blocking the attack, he quickly turned downwards, as if he was about to rush into the sea to fight with an unknown enemy. .
When Meng Fan looked at the sea below, a huge fish shadow appeared. It was visually estimated that the main body of this figure was more than ten thousand meters long, but the thousand-meter-long male turban king insect was really a small insect in front of it.
"Not good." Meng Fan's heart sank. He actually encountered a sea beast. This sea beast, whose suffocating aura could be felt from a distance, must be at the level of a ferocious beast.
"Fly up quickly." Meng Fan kept sending his thoughts to the King Insect, hoping to make the King Insect leave. However, Meng Fan had no idea how effective it would be. The King Insect gave him orders during the battle. , rarely pay attention to it.
Fortunately, the Gongturban King Insect was not without wisdom. When the Gongturban King Insect's soul force field swept across the figure below, it turned around again.
For ordinary sea beasts, the male turban king insect will naturally fly underwater and tear it into pieces, but if it is an evenly matched opponent, it will not go to the sea.
But before turning, the male turban king insect shot out a huge pink air column from its mouth, shooting straight downward.
Following the pink air column, there were wind blades shot out from the wings, which fell to the sea like knives first.
The whale-like sea beast below was not to be outdone. A series of water-attribute spells, such as spears, arrows, and roulette wheels, were overwhelmingly shot towards the King Insect, instead of fighting with wind blades and air pillars.
For a time, it was like countless bombs dropped and exploded on the sea, and the magic exchange made a huge roar.
After the pink air pillar smashed into many water spell interceptions, it was like a mud cow entering the sea. It obviously failed to do anything to the sea beast. Similarly, it was difficult for the sea beast's spells to get close to the male turban king insect.
The Red Scarf King Insect hovered over the sea and fought with the sea dragon for a long time by relying on various wind-attribute spells.
On both sides, no one can do anything to the other. The sea monster is waiting for the red scarf king insect to go into the sea, and the red scarf king insect is waiting for the sea beast to ascend to the sky.
The two sides continued to fight for a long time, but there was no winner.
There is no way, both of them are very intelligent, and they are unwilling to leave their own home ground. Sea monsters and flying insects are one sea and one empty. They are separated by a whole land. Unless their brains are dug out, it is impossible for them to go to other people's home fields. .
Meng Fan was worried at first, fearing that the two tigers would fight each other, but they would not hurt each other and only harmed his little white rabbit. Later, he felt at ease. He found that the attack of the sea beast could not get close to the king insect. Similarly, the sea beasts below were also alive and kicking. The two parties were not fighting, but frying fish together, killing countless sea fish along the way.
Meng Fan huddled on the back of the King Insect without sadness or joy. I don't know when the sun went down, and the attacks from both the sea beast and the King Insect became sparse. Thinking about it, this meaningless battle has almost come to an end.
Alas, it seems that it is not easy to earn the vitality stones of the beast control mage. If this situation happens a few times, even if he is fine, his little heart will not be able to bear it.
