"Crack" a red lightning flashed across the sky. The sky above Yutou Island was gloomy and dark clouds were gathering, as if a heavy rain was coming, and hidden thunder gradually emerged. The fifteenth day has passed, and the secret realm is about to be closed. The "Beast" engraved on the open-air square "Lighting Void Light Array" was shining with dazzling light at this moment, and array spells appeared one after another.
Next to the formation stood some disciples of the three branches of the Winter Water Alliance, and on a huge rock protruding above the square, the three spiritual infant true kings of the Nangong Family Hanri, the Holy Whale Family Nuhai, and the Yinlang Family Howling Moon stood side by side. , looking down at the activated formation below, the three of them had gloomy expressions on their faces, but they were all slightly solemn.
"I wonder what the harvest will be like this time in the secret realm? How many "Five-leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" can I pick?" Looking at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, thunder and lightning becoming more and more dense, I saw that the entrance to the secret realm was about to open again. , Howling Moon couldn't help but said with some worry.
"How much you get of these heaven and earth spiritual materials all depends on fate. Don't force it. I just hope that the disciples in the alliance will have fewer casualties during this trip." Hanri, who was standing in the middle, frowned slightly and took over the words. The ferocious beasts are rampant, and every time the disciples in the alliance suffer heavy casualties.
First of all, the secret realm is a world of its own, with rich spiritual energy. In addition, it is only opened once every four hundred years, without too much interference from the outside world. A large number of high-level spiritual beasts are nurtured in the secret realm, and even ferocious beasts in the golden elixir stage appear.
In particular, the places where heaven and earth spiritual materials such as "Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" and "Jiazi Snow Fruit" grow must be guarded by powerful spiritual beasts. When disciples in the alliance enter the secret realm to collect medicine, they will definitely fight with these guardian spirit beasts.
Secondly, the disciples in the alliance are seriously fighting among themselves. Fighting for these heaven and earth spiritual materials is inevitable. The three branches of the East Water Alliance, Nangong, Holy Whale, and Silver Wolf, have also acquiesced in this matter.
After entering the secret realm, the disciples of the three clans will live and die according to their destiny, and they will not pursue too much. This rule was first set by the Nangong family. Every time the Nangong family takes half of the quota for the secret realm, they will not suffer.
"The total number of disciples from my clan and the Silver Wolf clan who have entered the secret realm is not as large as the number of disciples from the Nangong clan who have entered the secret realm. Fellow Taoist disciples do not need to worry about how much spiritual materials the Nangong clan has obtained." Nu Hai said with some disapproval. The Nangong clan There are many disciples who have entered the secret realm, and the harvest is not the largest among the three tribes. They really got an advantage and behaved well.
"Here it comes!" At this time, the red electric light in the sky gathered into a ball. The thunder ball wrapped with electric light was swelling bigger and bigger, slowly forming a whirlpool of electric light that exuded terrifying spiritual power. The entrance to the secret realm appeared again. , streaks of light are flying out of the whirlpool.
These streams of light flying in all directions are none other than a cultivator who was repelled by the secret space and forcibly teleported out from the vortex entrance by the secret realm.
The formation below also followed the great spiritual light. The flowing lights were drawn by the power of the magic circle and fell into the formation one by one. The streams of light fell like rain, and the gleaming light dispersed. In the formation, Incoming disciples appeared one after another.
"One, two,...forty-two, forty-three,...seventy-six!" When the last stream of light fell from the increasingly smaller vortex in the sky, Lord Hanri's face couldn't help but change.
This time, only seventy-six people came out of the secret realm. Although the casualties were usually heavy, more than a hundred disciples usually survived. Something big must have happened in the secret realm this time.
"Go down and take a look!" Zhenjun Howling Moon couldn't help but frown, and obviously saw something was wrong, so he said.
Then he and True Lord Hanri ducked down, leaving only Nu Hai alone on the boulder. At this moment, Nu Hai's face twitched, his eyes were filled with fire, and he stared directly at a person in the formation below. This person was hiding on the outer island for several days. On that day, Liu Yu was finally revealed about the secret mission.
"Disciple Xuanyu pays homage to the master!" Liu Yu quickly walked towards the master Xuanmu Zhenren who was waiting outside the magic circle and bowed his hands.
"Just come back!" Master Xuanmu saw that Liu Yu's face was pale, and he looked injured at first glance, but his cultivation level had been promoted to a higher level. It seems that a lot of things happened in the secret realm, but he had many ears and eyes here. It was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he nodded and said.
After a commotion, the disciples who had returned from the secret realm all left the Magic Circle Square, and were led by the deacons of the three tribes back to the three palaces on the island to rest. The flat and open Magic Circle Square between the three palaces soon fell into silence. .
…
"A bunch of trash, so many people, they can't even kill a little thief in the middle stage of foundation building!" The fifteen disciples of the Zine family who had returned from the secret realm knelt fearfully in the secret room of the palace before the secret realm opened, and the second patriarch The angry sea is furious.
"What's going on with Nu Ya? Didn't I ask you to kill that person in the secret realm?" Nu Chuan did not dare to look at the ferocious angry face of his uncle Nu Hai, and pointed at Nu Ya, the leader of the secret realm this time, and asked.
"After entering the secret realm, the disciples have been telling the brothers to pay attention to the little thief, but the little thief has never been found on the main island." Nu Ya hurriedly replied and explained.
He did tell the members of the main team to pay more attention to the Yunzhou Taoist when they were searching for spiritual materials separately on the main island, but he was never found from the beginning to the end.
"What about the three of you?" Nu Chuan asked the remaining three members of the team responsible for searching for spiritual materials on the outer islands. They also issued a "Soul-Chasing Blood Order" to each of them in advance. However, the little thief is still alive today. Out of the secret realm?
"Your Highness, when the disciples were searching for spiritual materials on various islands, they searched every corner of these outer islands to find the Yunzhou Taoist, but there was no trace of him!"
"yes!"
"Yes, the same is true for disciples!" three team members said one after another.
"Uncle, I think that little thief must have been hiding in some nook and cranny early in the morning. He hid until the end of the secret realm, and then he saved his life." Nu Chuan gritted his teeth and said to help these disciples of the clan.
"They're all rubbish! That little thief is hiding, so don't bother looking for it. Why are there so few secret realm spiritual materials collected this time?" Nu Hai glared at everyone present, and cursed Nu Chuan together.
It turns out that the Zine family only picked two "Five-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" in this secret place. In the past, when there were no quotas, there were four or five. After adding a few quotas this time, the number was even smaller. .
"The responsibility for this matter lies with the disciple. It is the disciple who is incompetent. Please ask the ancestor to punish me!" Nu Ya took the initiative to accept the blame and said.
"We can't blame Captain Nuya entirely. If the Nangong family hadn't intervened and drove away the seventh-level "Silver Electric Eagle", that "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" would have been ours." Kneel down. One of them said to absolve Nu Ya.
"What? Seven-leaf thunder-patterned ice lotus? What happened? Tell me quickly!" Nu Chuan couldn't help being shocked and hurriedly urged.
You must know that although the "Seven-leaf Thunder-patterned Ice Lotus" only has two more leaves than the "Five-leaf Thunder-patterned Ice Lotus", its efficacy is far different. The "Five-leaf Thunder-patterned Ice Lotus" only takes effect on the Golden Elixir Five Yang Thunder Tribulation. , but the "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" is equally effective even with the Spirit Infant Nine Yang Thunder Tribulation.
Both belong to the "Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus". The "Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" spiritual grass only grows in extremely cold places, and has been nourished by the power of thunder for thousands of years. It blooms with five leaves of silver pattern ice flowers. It is named after the shape of a lotus. If it takes a thousand years, it will have one more leaf, if it takes three thousand years, it will have seven leaves, and if it takes ten thousand years, it will have nine leaves.
But not all "Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" can bloom. Not to mention seven leaves, even five leaves are extremely rare, because the growth environment required by this grass is too harsh and the growth period is long, not to mention that it has been cultivated during the period. They are picked by those who pick them, or they are found and eaten by wild animals.
In short, the Winter Water Alliance has clear records that the most recent "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" picked from the Thunder Lotus Secret Realm was more than 12,000 years ago. It is no wonder that Nuchuan was shocked.
"The disciple discovered a "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" on an unnamed peak on the west side of the main island. However, the guardian beast of this spiritual material was a huge golden elixir stage "Silver Electric Eagle". The disciple could only contact Nu Ya. Captain..." The man who just defended Nu Ya said slowly.
It turned out that when this person was searching for spiritual materials on the main island, he accidentally discovered a "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" on an unknown peak on the west side. However, this elixir was guarded by a seventh-level "Silver Electric Eagle".
With no other choice, the man had no choice but to immediately go to the captain of the main team, Nu Ya, and tell him about the matter. Nu Ya was overjoyed and immediately led eight team members to drive away the seventh-level "Silver Electric Eagle".
However, the nine people were no match for this seventh-level "Silver Electric Eagle", so they could only continue to send people to contact other team members to come for support. During this period, they were discovered by a disciple of the Nangong family, and then a large number of disciples of the Nangong family came. Finally, in this A large number of disciples from the three tribes gathered at the top of the Nameless Peak.
The Holy Whale and Silver Wolf clans joined forces to form a confrontation with the Nangong family. Due to the large number of people, both sides were afraid and did not dare to take action for a while. It was not until the day before the secret realm was closed that the two parties fought.
In the end, the Nangong family, relying on their strength of numbers, not only drove away the seventh-level "Silver Electric Eagle", but also defeated and dispersed the disciples of the Holy Whale and Silver Wolf tribes.
In the end, the Nangong family picked the "Seven-leaf Thunder-patterned Ice Lotus". This is why only seventy-six people returned to the secret realm this time, because the three tribes fought for this "Seven-leaf Thunder-patterned Ice Lotus". A brutal bloody battle.
…
"Mo'er, you led your clan members to pick this "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" and made great contributions to the clan. What reward do you want?" In another palace, True Lord Hanri took the "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" from Nangong Mo's hand. Looking at the "Seven-Leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" in front of me of this rising star with the word "cold" in front of me, I couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Fighting for the clan is Mo'er's duty as a disciple of the clan. Nangong Mo does not dare to be greedy for credit. The greatest achievement this time is the clan members who died in the battle in the secret territory. I hope my ancestors will show sympathy to these brothers who died in the battle. Be kind to the families of these brothers." Nangong Mo said with cupped hands.
In this secret realm, the children of the Nangong clan were led by Nangong Mo, an elite disciple directly from the "Han" lineage, and Nangong Mo did not live up to the clan's expectations.
He personally led the disciples of the Nangong clan to defeat the disciples of the Holy Whale and Silver Wolf clans in the secret realm, and snatched this rare "Seven-leaf Thunder Pattern Ice Lotus" from the hands of the two clans.
"Don't worry! The clan will reward these descendants who died in the battle, and it will also not treat any of the disciples who bring glory to the clan. When you return to Dongyan Island, Mo'er, you can go to the clan hall to receive one thousand "Qingke Dan" , just say it’s my order.” Don’t be arrogant about taking credit, but pity your fellow clansmen. This is the attitude that a disciple with the character “Han” should have. True Lord Hanri nodded happily, helped Nangong Mo up and said.
"Thank you, ancestor!" Nangong Mo stood up and thanked him.
…
"You mean, you led those two people to the unknown giant beast hidden on the bottom of the sea, and relied on that sea monster to get out of the crisis?" At the residence of Xuanmu Zhenren on the island, Xuanmu was listening to Liu Yu's detailed explanation of what the group had done in the secret realm this time. After hearing this, Xuanmu suddenly broke into a cold sweat for his disciple Sun Xuanyu.
"Master, this is indeed the case!" Liu Yu replied immediately.
"In addition to its huge size, what other characteristics does the sea monster have?" Xuanmu asked curiously.
"Cylinder-shaped, insect-shaped, round and chubby, like a long columnar meat mountain, with a rough outer skin and a reddish color. There is a blood basin mouth surrounded by serrated layers at the top. The huge mouth has countless sharp teeth, and the outer ring of the mouth plate is raised. More than a hundred black eyes suddenly shot out of the water at extremely fast speeds that were hard to guard against." Liu Yu said with fear in her heart as she recalled the terrifying scene of the sea monster jumping out of the sea to devour it.
"The outer skin is rough and red, and the body is huge and shaped like a long worm, like a pillar of meat, with sharp teeth on the mouth. This beast should be a seventh-order "ring-toothed worm", a giant sea beast entrenched in the volcanic waters of the sea. , likes to lurk under the sea and devour passing fish and birds for food." Xuanmu thought for a moment and said slowly.
"The ring-toothed worm?" Liu Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He had never heard of this kind of sea beast.
"This beast is said to be extremely difficult to deal with. In short, if you encounter it in the future, just run far away." In fact, Xuanmu himself has never seen this beast. He only read some about it from an unknown ancient book in his early years. Vague records of this beast.
"By the way, the late-stage monk of the Holy Whale Family who was trapped and killed by your formation, didn't his relics come out of the secret realm?" Xuanmu asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, Master. Apart from the spirit tickets and spirit stones, the disciple took some common general objects and threw the other objects into the seabed." Liu Yu hurriedly replied.
"That's good! Although you escaped a disaster during this trip, judging from the destructive look in the angry old man's eyes just now, he still won't let you go easily."
"After returning to Beluga Port, you still need to be careful. Don't go out unless you have something to do. Once the three sects' warships are completed, return to Yunzhou and return to the sect's territory, your safety can be guaranteed." Xuanmu couldn't help but look highly at the man in front of him. The disciple and grandson took a look and realized that this son was very smart, knew the pros and cons, and was not blinded by wealth. Judging from his past deeds, he was quite capable, so he immediately remembered his instructions.
"Thank you, Master, for the reminder, disciple, please remember it!" Liu Yu bowed his hands and said.
Just now at the Magic Circle Square, Liu Yu felt like a light on his back. Without turning around, Liu Yu knew it was the sharp sword-like gaze of the angry old man.
Although he narrowly escaped this disaster, the old man was afraid that he would not let it go and would definitely wait for an opportunity to attack him in the future. Although he knew this, Liu Yu had no choice but to take one step and watch one step.
