Inside the crater.
A group of small mushrooms shook their big, colorful heads, and each one was taking deep breaths. Their stomachs sucked in a lot of seawater, making their bodies double in size.
After that, they spit out high-pressure water arrows from their mouths like nails. The key point is that the water arrows are colorful and are obviously highly poisonous.
"Boom~"
While the group of monsters and the fire-scaled turtle were fighting fiercely, huge roars sounded one after another.
The next moment, the cave entrance exploded under the Fire Scale Turtle, and the entire crater was suddenly shaken by violent vibrations and opened countless cracks.
"Bang~"
The rock mass of the crater shattered, and seawater poured in instantly. The sea monsters felt the mountain below them shaking violently, and they rose up one after another.
In just an instant, the fire-scaled turtle's method of absorbing the energy of the volcano was forcibly interrupted, and the barrier blooming from the turtle's shell suddenly shattered.
Seeing this scene, a group of sea monsters were surprised and happy.
"Zizzizi~"
At that moment, three giant starfish erupted with laser rays at the same time, bombarding the fire-scaled turtle's tortoise shell. The tortoise shell, which was already full of cracks, suddenly exploded into a large piece.
Immediately afterwards, colorful poisonous water arrows bombarded the Fire Scale Turtle one after another.
The blue sky rays fired their tail spines one after another, bombarding the fire scale turtle's wounds.
A group of Kraken Mantis immediately wandered around, ready to attack, ready to find an opportunity to strike.
The fire-scaled turtle did not expect that such a strange phenomenon would suddenly appear. He, who had already suffered a heavy blow, was suddenly unable to resist. He was directly beaten to death.
"Ho~"
He reluctantly used the suction from the volcano's mouth and quickly rushed into the volcano along with the incoming seawater.
After all, this crater was opened by unknown forces, and there is a passage that leads directly to the interior of the mountain.
Others may be afraid of the magma inside the mountain, but he is not afraid. If he can rush into the magma, he may still have a chance of survival.
Just listen, a blue-backed stingray shouted: "Don't let him rush into the lava."
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Immediately, a group of sea monsters rushed into the huge hole that was opened.
Several Siren Mantises took the lead and quickly rushed to the side of the Fire Scale Turtle. Their arms turned into sickles and hooked the Fire Scale Turtle one after another.
However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. No matter how badly injured the fire-scaled turtle was, it was still a second-level top-grade ferocious beast. It stretched its neck so long that it suddenly turned its head and bit a siren mantis, and only heard a "click" sound. , half of the body of the Kraken Mantis was bitten to pieces, killing him on the spot.
Then, a large number of fire scales shot out from the fire scale turtle, directly shooting through the other three siren mantises on the spot.
But even though he killed several Kraken Mantises one after another, his plan to rush into the magma failed in the end.
Several colorful bubbles appeared from its broken tortoise shell, and the bubbles greatly increased the resistance of the fire-scaled turtle to fall.
Then, a blue-shelled ray threw a strange rope, suddenly grabbed the fire-scaled turtle's head, and dragged him directly out of the volcano.
Inside the volcano, these sea monsters rushing in are joining forces.
However, outside the volcano, those sea monsters who did not rush in suddenly started fighting each other.
A blue-backed stingray attacked the mushroom people, and its poisonous stings penetrated many mushroom people one after another.
And there was a mushroom man who spit out a water arrow several feet long, which was full of poison and pierced the eye of a starfish.
There was also the Kraken Mantis, taking advantage of the situation to sneak attack on the blue-backed stingray. With its arms like sickles, it actually cut the blue-backed stingray in half.
For a time, there was a melee and a massacre.
Sirens may cherish their lives, but there are definitely not many who are afraid of death. Because this is the tone of their lives, killing, killing, killing, this is what they have to do every day.
Therefore, in this kind of fierce battle, no one showed any intention of giving up, and everyone started fighting.
Zhang Liang could barely see the scene over there through the second-order high-grade jade cockroach at this distance. He couldn't help but marvel at this scene.
"That's right. As for killing, it's best to kill them all."
Zhang Liang was not in a hurry at all. He had no intention of taking action if he could.
But while his old god was watching the show, suddenly, a white smoke column suddenly rose into the sky from the crater, and even erupted directly out of the crater hundreds of meters high.
The dozens of sea monsters fighting fiercely above were less than half covered by the white smoke column.
"Eh~"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but sit up straight.
"What happened? The volcano erupted?"
Zhang Liang was stunned. He blew up the entrance passage, not the lava! Besides, when a volcano erupts, doesn’t it happen when the earth’s crust is squeezed and the internal pressure reaches a certain level before it erupts? If you just blew up an entrance, there's no reason why it would cause a volcanic eruption, right?
"Bang bang bang~"
The next moment, I saw huge sea monsters being rushed out of the volcano cave by white smoke pillars, and then falling from high altitude, smashing in all directions.
Zhang Liang took a closer look and saw a siren mantis, which looked like a steamed crab with its shell turning red.
In addition to the siren mantis, there was also the blue-backed stingray, whose bodies were shattered during the roll, revealing the white flesh.
As well as the mushroom men, they have almost doubled in size, and their skin color has become darker.
"Is this... steamed?"
Only the fire-scaled turtle, although it was also rushed out, was still normal. But that's natural. His name is Fire Scale Turtle. He presumably isn't afraid of volcanic lava, and his tolerance for high temperatures must be far greater than these sea monsters.
Zhang Liangliang seemed to understand. There was a lot of magma in the crater. Seawater poured in, pouring into the magma, and a lot of steam was born.
The steam was quickly squeezed inside the mountain. Because of the power of seawater infusion, it could not be discharged for a while, causing the inside of the mountain to be like a pressure cooker with a sharp increase in pressure.
At a certain level, the pressure formed momentum and surged upward, directly steaming all the sea monsters that rushed into the cave.
Zhang Liang opened his mouth. To be honest, he really didn't think about this. He just wanted to break the fire scale turtle's tortoise shell barrier so that these sea monsters could kill each other immediately.
However, the result seemed to be beyond imagination. This one-time steam eruption seemed to have steamed thirty or forty sea monsters.
The sea monsters who were fighting in a group outside also gave up and dispersed immediately.
However, there are also a few unlucky ones, namely the three huge starfish. Their movement speed is indeed not fast, at least not as fast as other sea monsters.
After the steam column rushed up, they were firmly attached to the rock wall and were covered in steam before they even had time to run.
After a while, none of the three starfish could climb out.
And the steam plume continued to erupt, and the number of surviving sea monsters was suddenly reduced by half.
As for the Fire Scale Turtle, although he was not directly steamed by the steam, his injuries were too serious. He was poisoned by the strange poison of the Mushroom Man, and suffered severe injuries one after another. At this moment, most of the fire scales on his body fell off, and more than half of the turtle shell on his back was broken. .
At this moment, the fire-scaled turtle was probably thirsting for life, and wanted to swim towards the steam column, trying to hide in it.
However, the pressure under this steam eruption was huge. As soon as he swam in, he was immediately hit by the pressure and rolled out again.
At this moment, the remaining sea monsters realized it and started to kill the fire scale turtle again.
A melee started again.
However, this time, the Fire Scale Turtle was not so lucky. He only lasted less than a hundred breaths before being beaten to death.
There was no way, he was too poisonous to fight, and in the end, he died tragically.
After the Fire Scale Turtle died, the fighting naturally did not stop. The fire-scaled turtle is dead, so naturally there will be a discussion about ownership? How many of these people who dare to fight for the Fire Scale Turtle are afraid? How many are willing to give up?
No, after a fierce battle for half an hour, the Fire Scale Turtle was first kidnapped by a Kraken Mantis. However, before the Kraken Mantis could run a thousand meters, it was sneakily attacked and killed by a hidden Blue Shell Ray.
The blue-backed ray also wanted to escape quickly, but before it even had time to use its escape technique, it plunged into a transparent spider web.
At this time, a new group of sea monsters appeared, the spider crab monsters. They probably wanted to compete with the snipe and the clam for the fisherman's profit, so they had been lying in wait on the nearby hills and laid countless spider webs around them.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't even notice the transparent spider web in the air. He was indeed a master hunter in the Immortal Sea.
A spider crab monster entered the scene, and all the sea monsters swarmed up again, and the melee broke out again.
After more than an hour, Zhang Liang thought several times that someone would escape with the fire-scaled turtle, but he was intercepted every time.
Because they thought the mushroom people were annoying, all the sea monsters joined forces to kill the mushroom people first.
Although those little mushrooms are very capable and possess strange poisons, they cannot withstand the large number of enemies!
The mushroom man was destroyed by the group of fire, and it was the spider crab monster's turn. With them here, it would be too difficult to escape.
Therefore, the spider crab demon was the second to be destroyed by the group.
In the end, only two siren forces, the blue-backed stingray and the siren mantis, were left on the field.
The total number of people was less than thirty, so it can be seen how many sea monsters died in the fight for this fire-scaled turtle. new
But the two sides were no longer fighting at this time. Because from the very beginning, what the Siren Mantis wants is the little turtle boy, while what the Blue-backed Sky Ray wants is the Fire Spirit Bead.
As a result, the two sides reached an agreement quickly and each got what they needed.
How could Zhang Liang be happy with this scene? He was not waiting this long for the two parties to reach an agreement.
"Is it finally time for me to take action? With nearly thirty people, it's a bit tricky!"
At this moment, the Kraken Mantis and the Blue-backed Ray were preparing to cut open the Fire Scale Turtle, but suddenly, there was a stir in the nearby water, and a figure suddenly appeared a hundred meters away from them.
The person who came was an unknown sea monster with an ugly face, but a fairly complete transformation.
"one person?"
"Early stage of foundation building."
Several of the blue-backed rays swung out their poisonous stingers and stabbed Zhang Liang.
"咻咻~"
However, only two huge iron ball sea urchins were seen suddenly appearing in the water, and in a moment, thousands of steel urchins shot out. How can a few venomous stingers from the blue-backed stingray compare to the thousands of steel thorns from the iron ball sea urchin?
"Iron ball sea urchin?"
Both the blue-backed ray and the siren mantis knew the iron ball sea urchin, but they were still surprised and puzzled by the sudden appearance of the iron ball sea urchin.
Thousands of steel thorns stunned both sides for a moment.
Whether it is a blue-backed stingray or a siren mantis, naturally they are not all foundation-building sirens. Most of them are at the peak of their Qi training. How can they block the attack of two second-level middle-grade iron ball sea urchins?
The two natal steel thorns directly killed two sea monsters, followed by five or six sea monsters who were pierced into hedgehogs.
I don't know if it is because of the huge size of this fire scale turtle, but at this moment, neither the blue-backed ray nor the siren mantis has put it into the storage spirit shell.
So much so that Zhang Liang could step in.
"brush"
Zhang Liang took the lead, using the iron ball sea urchin to block him, and rushed to the side of the fire-scaled turtle. He stretched out his hand to put the fire-scaled turtle into the storage shell.
However, what surprised Zhang Liang was that he couldn't accept it.
"Why can't you accept it?"
Zhang Liangliang's head moved, and he seemed to understand something. All fallen creatures can be stored in the storage shell. This fire scale turtle has definitely fallen. But where is Turtleboy?
From beginning to end, Zhang Liang didn't see the little turtle boy. He couldn't help but look at the belly of the fire-scale turtle, and he suddenly understood.
"Who are you?"
"No matter who you are, don't even think about taking away the Fire Scale Turtle. There are still baby turtles in it, and you can't put it into a storage shell."
At this moment, all the steel spines of the two iron ball sea urchins were shot out. The iron ball sea urchin also has a shortcoming, that is, there is a gap between the steel spines on the body.
Taking advantage of this gap, dozens of Kraken mantises and blue-backed rays attacked Zhang Liang at the same time.
However, the corners of Zhang Liang's mouth curled up slightly. He had already expected this, so he did not release all the iron ball sea urchins at first.
But at this moment, Zhang Liang patted the spirit beast bag, and thirteen second-order low-grade iron ball sea urchins appeared at the same time.
"咻咻咻~"
Steel needles filled the sky, flying across the sky like a hail of arrows. In just one round, half of the sea monsters in the room were pricked into hedgehogs.
Even though there were several great foundation-building demons among them, they were unfortunately shot by the steel thorns of the iron ball sea urchin.
Of course, the great foundation-building demon is not that easy to die, so the moment Zhang Liang summoned the iron ball sea urchin, a dozen black crow formations appeared around him at the same time.
"Buzz buzz~"
More than a dozen huge black squids appeared, with lightning and blood marks on their bodies, and they immediately rushed towards these sea monsters.
At this moment, they were fending off the steel thorns, and they were also confused and puzzled by the sudden appearance of the black squid.
As a result, it was obvious that the crackling thunder arc directly froze everyone in place. At this moment, the steel thorns of the iron ball sea urchin were submerged into the bodies of these siren mantises and blue-backed rays, and the steel thorns even formed an electric grid.
Who could have known that so many sea monsters, together with seven or eight great foundation-building monsters, would go through many battles, only to be harvested so easily by Zhang Liang?
Of course, there are two main reasons why it was so easy. One was the timing of the sneak attack was good, and the other was taking advantage of the poor cognition of these sea monsters.
Let me ask, how could these sea monsters have expected that Zhang Liangyu would have more than a dozen second-order iron ball sea urchins and a one-time attack and kill formation with thunder and lightning attributes?
On the spot, all the sea monsters under the foundation establishment died, and only the few foundation establishment great monsters were left, which were already half dead. Even if they can withstand the electric shock of the Black Crow Formation, the steel thorns of the Iron Ball Sea Urchin are real. They are so densely pierced all over his body that the foundation builder will die!
Zhang Liang clicked his tongue, held the bloody demon sword in his hand, and slashed through them one by one with the Overlord Sword. After a few breaths, several of the great foundation-building demons were killed on the spot.
From beginning to end, they were so shocked that they couldn't even speak. How could they resist?
"What a great harvest!"
Zhang Liang quickly put away these sea monster corpses, without even bothering to look for some storage spirit shells, and came to the fire scale turtle.
After all, the Fire Scale Turtle is a second-level top-grade ferocious beast. Although the tortoise's shell is broken, it is still relatively intact overall. It is just poisoned, so I'm afraid it can't be eaten, which is a pity.
Zhang Liang held the blood-colored demon knife in his hand, and after a moment of effort, he finally cut open the fire-scaled turtle, and finally found seven half-meter-sized turtle eggs inside its body.
"Seven?"
Zhang Liang's head was shaken. No wonder these sea monsters were so crazy. They had so many turtle eggs. If they all hatched, wouldn't there be seven little fire-scaled turtles?
If they all grow up, there will be seven second-level ferocious beasts. How many siren races can give birth to so many strong foundation-building warriors?
"Make a fortune."
Zhang Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly put the seven turtle eggs into the spirit beast bag.
Soon, he found a hot red bead from the fire scale turtle's body. As expected, this should be the fire spirit bead.
Seeing this bead, a message flashed across Zhang Liang's head:
Low-level fire spirit beads have the ability to avoid fire, slowly improve physical fitness, and refine weapons, which are of great benefit to the practice of fire-attribute skills.
"Huh? Can the Three Lives Sutra of All Things still interpret this?"
It's a pity that Zhang Liang doesn't practice fire-attribute skills either, but since this item can improve his body, he can put it on his body first and replace it if there is a chance in the future.
After putting away the Fire Spirit Pearl, Zhang Liang dug up the second-order high-grade demon pill, and then put away the Fire Scale Turtle. Even if it is not edible, it would be good to sell it if there is a chance in the future.
Especially the tortoise shell, even if it is broken, it is definitely a first-class treasure. If it were placed on Lingxian Island, I'm afraid my head would be ripped off.
Zhang Liang also noticed in particular that there seemed to be strange patterns on the tortoise shell. It was very special. He wondered if it was related to the protective barrier.
Unfortunately, because half of the tortoise shell fell off, Zhang Liang could not see it all for the time being.
Without cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Liang collected the iron balls and sea urchins and immediately rushed towards the crater where steam was erupting.
After collecting all the Kraken corpses scattered around, the number was as high as 81. It's a pity that there are still some parts that may not be washed out by the steam and die forever in the mountain. Naturally, Zhang Liang will not take the risk to look there.
Perhaps it was because the movement here was so great that the other hidden sea monsters felt fear, so for a while, no sea monsters came to the volcano.
Zhang Liang waited for about half an hour until the intensity of the steam weakened significantly, and then he picked up the three fully cooked starfish that were adsorbed on the rock wall.
…
A few hours later, Zhang Liang was hiding in an undersea cave dozens of miles away from the submarine volcano, eating a Kraken mantis.
This Kraken Mantis has been roasted by high-pressure steam. The meat is tender and plump. It is rare and tastes better than all the Krakens Zhang Liang has eaten.
It wasn't until Zhang Liang had eaten an entire Kraken Mantis that was more than fifteen meters long that he finally stopped talking with satisfaction.
As his body grew larger, Zhang Liang's appetite naturally grew larger. Ordinary small fish and shrimps can no longer satisfy him at all. The first-level high-grade ferocious beasts can only fill his stomach, and the second-order ferocious beasts can keep him full.
After finishing eating, Zhang Liang took out these Kraken's storage pendulums and checked them one by one.
In the end, the harvest was truly astonishing. Zhang Liang was shocked to find that although the spiritual stones he had harvested were not many, only about 500,000, the number of demon pills reached an astonishing 3101. Among them, a thousand came from the three huge starfish, and the rest were collected by myself.
After sorting, Zhang Liang counted up and found that there were as many as 116 second-level demon pills, including the demon pills of the fallen sea monsters themselves. Including the ones currently on his body, the total number was 174, which was enough for him to continuously take the refining pills for nearly 100 years. Five years.
Coupled with the blood food of these sea monsters, Zhang Liang is sure that he can definitely advance to the fifth level of body refining in five years or even less, which is comparable to the middle stage of foundation building.
"This is what I gain after leaving the Thousand Miles Coral Reef for eight hundred miles. If I follow this progress, how much wealth will I have accumulated by the time I get to the Hundred Demons Gathering?"
In addition to spirit stones and demon pills, Zhang Liang also harvested a lot of fish bones, corpses of ferocious beasts, some sea monster combat skills, demon weapons, and even a few traveling skills.
These things are good things for the current Black Fish Department and Black Crow Department. As the population of the two tribes continues to grow, there are more and more powerful people, and the little private collection in the treasure house of the two tribes is simply not enough.
Even now, it is almost empty. So what Zhang Liang grabbed... uh... picked up now is not much at all, and cannot meet one thousandth of the needs of the two movies.
After counting the loot and finishing his meal, Zhang Liang swallowed a Foundation-Building Demon Pill and activated the Giant God's Divine Way. It took him half a day to finish his practice.
Walking out of the cave again, the submarine crater was still steaming with smoke.
Zhang Liang sent spirit insects to investigate and discovered the whereabouts of some sea monsters. They should be the sea monsters that had been hiding in the surrounding mountains.
But these sea monsters seemed a little dazed, and many of them were staring at the smoke coming out of the crater in a daze.
"There are 37 of them. They don't seem to be very big. They don't seem to have undergone major foundation building repairs!"
Zhang Liang is not sure, but what if there is a foundation construction overhaul? Wouldn't it be enough to just kill them all?
Zhang Liang did not hesitate at all when he said he would take action. This is not the world of human beings cultivating immortals. Fighting in the immortal sea is a daily routine. Most of the big demons that are killed will be taken away and eaten. There may be traces and revenge, but it is difficult.
If there is no great foundation-building demon, you may not even need to take action yourself to deal with these sea monsters.
Zhang Liang's head moved, and 1,103 second-order blood-sucking purple locusts and 600 spiritual blood ants quietly dispersed and quietly approached the sea monsters from different directions.
After a while.
"Ah~"
"What bites me too?"
"There are bugs!"
"No, there are bugs in my body."
Some sea monsters were not noticed in advance and were targeted by spiritual blood ants or blood-sucking purple locusts. For a while, they turned into their true bodies and rolled on the seabed.
There are also some who, after discovering spiritual insects and failing to kill them, start to flee in panic.
At this moment, a spider crab demon was fleeing towards Zhang Liang. However, as soon as the spider crab demon climbed over a rock, a huge black shadow fell from the sky instantly.
"Bang~"
"Kakaka~"
I saw that this spider crab demon was smashed to pieces and was dead. Zhang Liang, on the other hand, dragged the sea urchin meteor hammer and continued to ambush the other sea monsters.
In just one hour, 9 of the 37 sea monsters escaped from the submarine volcano, half of them were devoured by spiritual insects, and half of them were crushed to death by Zhang Liang.
Those sea monsters who escaped were frightened because they had no idea who the enemy was.
