Yao Zhen and others prepared on Biyou Island for about a month, then took the giant whale fairy ship and headed straight for the fairy sea.
What they are going to do and what they are going through is unknown to outsiders.
However, the price of spiritual insects on Biyou Island has doubled.
There was no way, all the major insect farms were searched, especially the first-order low-grade spiritual insects, which were once in short supply and the prices soared. Even a first-level low-grade jade cockroach has been upgraded to three spiritual stones.
However, this phenomenon was quickly suppressed by Lingxian Tower. Lingxian Tower has many supply channels, and at the price of two spiritual stones for one, it once again suppressed the market price and restored the normal price.
However, this was a pain for major insect farms, as the shipment volume of first-order low-grade spiritual insects suddenly dropped by two or three times.
Zhang Liang practiced as usual. The main advantage of the Black Wind Insect Farm is that it is easy to live and easy to raise. Moreover, the Black Wind Insect Farm was used to being suppressed before, which in turn established their ability to cultivate ordinary spiritual insects, so the Insect Farm is also considered safely.
However, the spiritual insect price crisis has just passed a month ago.
A shocking news suddenly spread on Biyou Island.
Yang Xue was reporting to Zhang Liang at the moment: "Master, it is said that Lingxian Palace's operation to detect the abnormal phenomenon failed."
"Failed?"
Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows: "The foundation building overhaul also failed?"
Yang Xue: "Yeah! It is said that there was not just one major foundation-building cultivator, but three major foundation-building cultivators took action together. Two of them died. Many of the sect disciples they led also perished. The specific number was not disclosed to the outside world. "
"So dangerous?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but sit up straight. Doesn't this mean that all the hundreds of thousands of spiritual insects invested by several of their insect farms have gone cold? With the blessing of so many spiritual insects, many disciples of Lingxian Palace have perished. How dangerous is this place?
At this moment, Zhang Liang wanted to go to Lingxian Island to escape the limelight.
However, just as Yang Xue was talking about this matter, a spiritual book flew into the main palace, but it was Yang Xun who said that there was a spiritual book from Lingxian Palace.
Calling Yang Xun in, Zhang Liang took the spiritual book and saw that it was actually a spiritual book written by Rao Yaoyao himself.
It reads: "From the time you receive the spirit book, try to hoard high-level spiritual insects. First-order top-grade and second-order spiritual insects must not be sold. In addition, try to find some protective cards. In the next few years, it is best to devote yourself to Practice and try to see if you can reach the ninth level of Qi training."
This was Rao Yaoyao's reminder to him. After meeting Rao Yaoyao that time, Zhang Liang calculated the time and hid his strength in the eighth level of Qi training. It has been more than five years now.
"There's something wrong!"
What Zhang Liang was most worried about was coming, and Rao Yaoyao made it obvious. These three reminders are all for you to accumulate foundation and trump cards, which means that Rao Yaoyao may use you in the near future.
What to do with yourself?
Thinking about what just happened, it is not difficult to guess that it was probably because of the strange phenomenon outside Biyou Island.
Moments after Zhang Liang received the spiritual letter, Luo Sanpang's invitation arrived, saying that he was inviting Zhang Liang to a gathering at his house.
Regardless of whether the three major insect farms had any personal grudges in the past, at this moment, they probably are gone.
Zhang Liang received the spiritual book reminder from Rao Yaoyao, and he estimated that both Luo Sanpang and Fu Lan received it. Everyone is not a fool. Rao Yaoyao said that he must use people!
As the local insect farm owners of Biyou Island, they should unite now to deal with the future.
When Zhang Liang arrived at the Sansha Insect Farm, he found that Luo Sanpang seemed to like having a bald head. Many insect farmers have bare heads, and they look quite fierce.
But in extreme contrast, Luo Sanpang not only likes to raise bald people, but also likes to raise beauties like flowers and jade. Of course, his strength is generally low.
After all, cultivators will not give you preferential treatment just because you are a beauty. Everyone speaks based on their strength.
When Zhang Liang arrived at Luo Sanpang's farm owner's house, the place was already filled with delicacies, and Fu Lan came unexpectedly, apparently one step ahead of him and even chewed some in his mouth.
No, as soon as Zhang Liang arrived, Luo Sanpang said immediately: "Brother Zhang, please take a seat quickly, I'm waiting for you."
After saying that, Luo Sanpang pointed at the two beauties who led Zhang Liang in and said: "It's none of your business now. All of you should go out. No one is allowed to come near without the permission of the owner of the venue."
Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Luo, Miss Fu, why are you so anxious?"
Luo Sanpang leaned directly on the chair, dropped the spiritual book and said, "Brother Zhang, don't say you didn't receive it!"
Fu Lan also took out a spiritual book and raised it to Zhang Liang: "We are in trouble."
Zhang Liang also took out the spiritual book from his storage bag, and then sighed leisurely: "When people sit at home, disaster will come from the sky! It's a pity that Rao Shangxian didn't make it clear, which makes us somewhat passive."
The fat on Luo Sanpang's face trembled: "What else do we need to express clearly? Lingxian Palace has already been undergoing a major foundation construction and overhaul. We just happened to be at the wrong time. We happened to be on Biyou Island and happened to catch up with this matter. Son. I think it’s probably Lingxian Palace who wants to organize a second exploration. But I don’t understand, why do you have to involve a few of us?”
Fu Lan: "Is it okay if we apply to leave now?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liang and Luo Sanpang rolled their eyes and said to themselves, sister, why are you so naive. Who dares to take over the current Biyou Island Insect Farm?
Also, you just left when you said you would leave? Why don't you go to heaven?
Zhang Liang: "No matter what the situation is, we should not mess up first. According to the meaning of the spirit book, we should still have a few years. We are all insect farm owners, and we should cultivate spiritual insects in the past few years. .After all, this is our greatest reliance."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
Luo Sanpang immediately said: "The spirit insects cultivated by our three families each have their own emphasis. I suggest that we exchange a batch of spirit insects. After all, the characteristics of different spirit insects are different. One more kind of spirit insect will also give you more confidence. .”
Zhang Liang: "I have no objection. However, the number of blood-blooded ants in my Black Wind Insect Farm is limited and difficult to raise. It is definitely not possible to exchange one for one. My requirement is to exchange five for one. And I can exchange at most one-third. quantity."
Zhang Liang said calmly, but he sneered in his heart. He thought he was discussing something with himself, but it turned out that it was to attack the spirit blood ants.
Spirit blood ants have the strongest attack and killing power, so I wanted to switch to him. I have to say that Luo Sanpang was very smart in his calculations. He had already made plans for this matter as soon as he received the spirit book.
Luo Sanpang secretly scolded the profiteers. Although his own insect farm also raised blood-blooded ants, they were really incomparable to those at the Black Wind Insect Farm. If something big hadn't happened this time, how could I change it for you?
Fu Lan was immediately surprised: "Five for one, Brother Zhang, you are too cruel. We have just been exploited by Yao Zhen. If we do another five for one, we will really lose."
Zhang Liang: "Oh! Don't be in a hurry! You can switch with me at any time. Anyway, we should still have several years to prepare."
"Okay! Brother Zhang, if I really can't afford it by then, you have to give me some self-defense in advance!"
Fu Lan blinked at Zhang Liang with a smile, showing a bit of girlish naughtiness.
However, such small movements can only be done by female cultivators, otherwise Zhang Liang would probably vomit on the spot if Luo Sanpang were to do it.
"It's easy to talk about."
Luo Sanpang was helpless. This was a critical moment. It was not appropriate to fall out or create any estrangement. When it came to spiritual blood ants, it was true that the Black Wind Insect Farm cultivated them the best. There was no dispute about this.
Therefore, the two of them have to suffer this loss, whether they eat it or not.
…
Less than a month after the three-person gathering, a new species appeared in the waters off Biyou Island, a creature called ghost fish, which began to appear in large numbers in the waters off Biyou Island, Qingshan Island and Huangyu Island.
This kind of ghost fish does not change much from normal fish in terms of grade. But the problem is that this creature has an ugly face and a mouth full of sharp teeth, the key of which is still hanging out of its mouth. They are snake-like in shape, but only one-third as long as a sea snake. Moreover, their bodies are translucent, making it difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye when in the water.
The most important thing is that this ghost fish is extremely aggressive.
In this month, when this ghost fish has become known to everyone, thousands of fishermen and farmers have perished under it.
However, when fishermen and farmers fully adapt to a new type of attacking creature, the probability of death will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, after four months, the fishermen and farmers of the three fairy islands were able to hunt large numbers of these ghost fish. Moreover, there are old academics from Lingxian Palace who specialize in studying new creatures. They have been stationed on the three fairy islands for a long time and have conducted research on ghost fish.
So, in the fifth month, these researchers announced that there was a fingernail-sized pearl inside the ghost fish's skull. Taking it directly could help increase mental strength, calm the mind, and help with cultivation.
Then, they extracted something called ghost liquid from the ethereal bead, saying that this substance could assist in spiritual attack training and was very useful for foundation building overhaul.
With just this one fish, the value of the ghost fish has skyrocketed. In just six months, its value has soared more than five times.
On this day, the three major insect farm owners of Biyou Island met in the offshore waters to experience the habits, attack methods and attack methods of this ghost fish. The euphemistic name is to consolidate in advance to avoid sudden encounters and accidental injuries.
Of course, the three of them did not go deep and only wandered about three hundred miles outside the sea.
At this moment, Zhang Liang and Fu Lan were both in the water, and Luo Sanpang was still on the boat, with a solemn look on his face full of flesh.
Zhang Liang: "Brother Luo, we must go into the water by then. How about you stay on the boat?"
Fu Lan also echoed: "Yes, Brother Luo, we are surrounded by spiritual insects. What are you afraid of?"
Luo Sanpang buzzed and said: "I'm not afraid, it's just that with my physique, it's really inconvenient to be in the water. Do you think they won't take me with them because I'm fat?"
Zhang Liang and Fu Lan looked at each other, both speechless, and then replied angrily: "What do you think?"
"That's all."
Luo Sanpang thought that he was also having a whim, and immediately jumped under the boat.
"Bang!"
It was like a bomb entering the water, causing a huge splash. The ripples of the water directly rushed Zhang Liang and Fu Lan seven or eight meters away. This shows how fat Luo Sanpang is.
Under the water, at least 30,000 spiritual insects were planted around the three of them. Among them, Zhang Liang's 3,000 first-order high-grade spiritual blood ants were the most reassuring.
A few people didn't even search for a while before they encountered a small group of first-order low-grade ghost fish. They were discovered by everyone because they were devouring spiritual insects. After all, they are all about bugs, so a few of them still have some vigilance.
Several people signaled to each other and did not interfere. If the ghost fish wants to eat, let it eat a few first.
I saw a group of twenty or thirty ghost fish opening their mouths one by one. The teeth that were protruding fiercely could bite a jade cockroach into pieces with one bite. The bite force was amazing and extremely rare.
The Jasper Cockroach and the Golden Swallowtail Horseshoe Crab are notoriously tough. Chewing the Jade Cockroach to pieces in one bite fully illustrates the attack power of this ghost fish.
Zhang Liangliang's head moved, and a small group of first-order middle-grade jade cockroaches rushed over to die.
This time, the ghost fish couldn't completely kill the jade cockroach with one bite, but it flicked its mouth and bit it half to death. Immediately, the ghost fish flicked its mouth and spat out the jade cockroach. Immediately afterwards, a death coil appeared on the body in the water, tightly strangling the jade cockroach in the gap of the body until it burst.
Over there, Luo Sanpang couldn't wait any longer. With a thought, hundreds of tiger-spotted centipedes surrounded him and began to attack the ghost fish.
As a result, those ghost fish did not run away at all, but the iron head came up with a burst of bites, death coils, and burst out at quite impressive speeds.
However, the tiger-spotted centipede is not a waste. It is highly toxic, has sharp teeth, and is covered with spines. The spines are poisonous. Therefore, in this fight, more than half of the ghost fish were quickly poisoned or bitten to death.
But soon, Zhang Liang and the others discovered that there was a ghost fish that suddenly spit out a sharp thorn from its mouth. It was a tongue tooth, a sharp tooth like a steel needle that grew on the tongue of the ghost fish.
Zhang Liang and the others had naturally known about it for a long time, but when they saw the ghost fish use it for the first time, they were still frightened. This move was not easy to guard against. The first-order low-grade ghost fish we have encountered so far is okay, but if we encounter a first-order mid-grade, first-grade high-grade ghost fish, or even a second-order ghost fish, it will be scary.
Let me ask you, if the second-level ghost fish attacks you, even if you take precautions in advance, you may not be able to block it.
After that, several people tried it for a while, and they were relieved when they saw that these ghost fish had no other special attack methods. This fish is actually already very powerful. If it has another attack method, it would be a bit too powerful.
Suddenly, Fu Lan waved to the two of them. Following the direction of Fu Lan's finger, they saw a group of ghost fish swimming over again.
Zhang Liang's heart suddenly moved. He looked to the other side and clearly noticed that there were fluctuations in the swimming water there. If he looked closely, he saw that it was also a group of ghost fish.
However, a few groups of ghost fish were nothing to Zhang Liang and the others. They were all eaten up by three people's spiritual insects before they could even get close to a hundred meters.
However, everyone continued to swim in the water for a while, and suddenly felt a group of large ghost fish rushing towards them again.
At this time, several people realized something was wrong. Although the Immortal Sea was large and there were many ghost fish, it was unreasonable to encounter so many in such a short period of time. Unless these ghost fish are attracted.
However, there was something around them that attracted them. It seemed that it could only be the flesh and blood of the ghost fish itself, which attracted the attention of their kind.
The three of them looked at each other, pointed at the sea, and decided that it would be better to leave first.
However, at this moment, Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed, because several ghost fish came too fast and fiercely.
He immediately made a gesture towards Luo Sanpang and Fu Lan, and then his heart moved, and three thousand spiritual blood ants began to gather quickly. I saw a ghost fish, like a cold blade in the water, bursting out with an astonishing speed comparable to the first-order top-notch craft boat, piercing straight towards the three of them. Even if it is a colony of spirit-blooded ants, a hole has been forcefully punched out, and the spirit-blooded ants may not even have time to eat it.
However, although there was no time to eat it, the ghost fish also had many scratches on its body, which were hooked by the claws of the blood-blooded ants.
This ghost fish went straight to Zhang Liang. The latter held it with his backhand in the sea water, and saw a water blade suddenly appeared in his hand. With the Ba Dao Jue, Zhang Liang slashed forward. Zhang Liang did not avoid the sharp edge and slashed the ghost fish with one strike. The fish was chopped from head to tail and cut into two pieces.
Just like that, the ghost fish's body was divided into two parts and tried to bite Luo Sanpang. The latter's hands suddenly turned golden, and he took action instantly and pinched the head of the two ghost fish.
"Bang bang~"
Fu Lan, on the other hand, controlled the fibrous sea spiders and sucker fish lice to attack the incoming group of ghost fish. With the entry of the Spirit Blood Ants, a massacre officially began.
After a while.
The three of them emerged from the sea, and the first thing they did after climbing on the boat was to stay away from this place. It wasn't until they ran a hundred miles away that Luo Sanpang said: "Brother Zhang, the magic of turning water into a sword and the sword control just now are quite incredible." It’s vulgar!”
Zhang Liang: "How can you compare to Brother Luo catching fish heads with bare hands?"
Fu Lan said speechlessly: "You two, stop flattering each other. I probably understand how those disciples of Lingxian Palace died. This ghost fish is really terrifying. It killed one wave after another, one after another, and He is getting stronger and stronger, and if he stays underwater all the time, it will be difficult for him not to die."
Zhang Liang also said: "Yes, the key is that they are very fast. The last one is a first-order high-grade ghost. Its instantaneous speed can actually pass through my army of spiritual blood ants. This is very difficult to achieve." "
Luo Sanpang wiped the water on his face and said: "It's not only difficult to do it, I dare not say it in other places. Ninety percent of the creatures outside Biyou Island can't do it. And don't forget, the fish is going straight to Brother Zhang went there and didn't pay attention to those spiritual blood ants at all, which shows that his goal is very clear and he seems to be quite intelligent."
Zhang Liang nodded thoughtfully, which was indeed a bit strange.
At this moment, Fu Lan said: "Should we continue to explore a thing or two? Or should we go back?".biqupai.
Zhang Liang: "There are only three of us. It's better not to explore further. It's quite dangerous."
Luo Sanpang also nodded: "Indeed, I didn't expect that a mere first-order low-grade ghost fish could attract so many ghost fish schools."
Just when the three of them were preparing to go home.
Zhang Liang suddenly felt the World Divine Mirror trembling slightly. At that moment, Zhang Liang's expression changed drastically.
There are three people around him, all of whom are quite powerful. The World Divine Mirror also has danger warnings. Could it be that they have encountered a second-order ghost fish, or a group of first-order high-grade ghost fish?
At this moment, Fu Lan suddenly said: "No, there is seaweed entangled at the bottom of the water?"
"Um?"
The three of them ran all the way and stopped for a moment. It was impossible to catch up with the group of ghost fish.
At this moment, they didn't even have time to release the spiritual insects, because they didn't expect that they would be in danger as soon as they stopped.
Fu Lan, on the other hand, was the first among the three to call out the source of the danger without the warning of the crisis from the Divine World Mirror. From this point alone, it could be seen that Fu Lan was not as careless and unscrupulous as he appeared on the surface.
Immediately, the first reaction of the three people was not to enter the water, but to quickly control the boat and prepare to leave.
Unexpectedly, the next moment they felt a huge force under the boat, and the three people's boat seemed to be sucked by something.
Zhang Liang's expression changed, and he complained in his heart that this was an offshore area! It was originally just the most basic and simple investigation, but I didn't expect it to develop into this.
Moreover, how did they get entangled in such a short period of time?
At this moment, the three of them released a large number of spiritual insects in unison. When a large number of spiritual insects entered the water, both Zhang Liang and Luo Sanpang had astonishment on their faces.
A lot of seaweed spread from the bottom of the sea and adsorbed on the bottom of the boat. And this is not a common seaweed, but a strange seaweed that is covered with tiny branches, leaves and tentacles, with slightly larger suckers on them.
Zhang Liang's first reaction was to think of the ivy. This kind of seaweed is somewhat similar to a creeper. It has super strong adsorption capacity. The key is that it grows incredibly fast.
Luo Sanpang yelled: "Damn it, what the hell is this? How did we get targeted?"
Fu Lan: "Let the spiritual insects bite off these seaweeds first, otherwise once they get entangled, we will be doomed."
Zhang Liang has released three thousand spiritual blood ants and ten thousand jade cockroaches. As soon as many spiritual insects entered the water, they began to gnaw crazily.
With the three of them together, the place suddenly turned into a field of insects. More than 40,000 spiritual insects were rolling in the sea water, biting the seaweed.
However, this seaweed actually tried to attack spiritual insects, and many spiritual insects were sucked into it.
Fortunately, the three of them were masters of the first part of the Spiritual Insect Guide, and they immediately controlled the spiritual insects to bite off the seaweed tentacles.
During this period, Zhang Liang also dispatched hundreds of first-order high-quality jade cockroaches to quickly drill into the seabed to find out. He never believed that the seaweed was here in the first place and must have followed it in some way.
However, when he saw the picture of the seabed through the perspective of a spiritual insect, he suddenly discovered that at some point, a humanoid body with a dry body was lying flat on the seabed. This man's mouth was so wide that it no longer looked like a human mouth. His head seemed to be divided by his mouth, and the corners of his mouth could reach to the back of his head. It looked like his head was broken off.
When Zhang Liang saw this, his expression changed and he shouted: "There is someone under the sea."
"Are you kidding me?"
After a while, Zhang Liang and the other three looked at each other, and Fu Lan suggested: "Run or fight?"
"Run of course."
Zhang Liang and Luo Sanpang said in unison, who knows what the humanoid monster is? If it is very powerful, then wouldn't they be in trouble?
Fortunately, all three of them are insect control masters at the insect farm master level. Otherwise, if someone else were here, they might be gone by now.
After a while.
A few people controlled the boat and sailed quickly through the Immortal Sea, not daring to stop at all, for fear that the humanoid monster would catch up again.
It wasn't until they landed that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and vowed in their hearts that they would never go to sea again in the next few years.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion at this moment.
Luo Sanpang: "Is this what we will face in the future?"
Zhang Liang: "It depends on what Lingxian Palace thinks. They can't expect us to clean up these anomalies. At least they need to do some foundation building and overhaul."
Fu Lan: "By the way, what exactly is that thing? Is it a human being?"
Zhang Liang shrugged: "Forget it, let's wait for those old scholars to study it! Since we have encountered it, others will definitely encounter it, and Lingxian Palace will naturally discover this monster by then."
Zhang Liangliang added, but other people may not survive if they encounter it. After all, not everyone can control tens of thousands of spirit insects casually.
