"Gurgling——"
In the huge lake, a huge turtle was swimming in the water.
It's strange to say that despite being so big and not slow at all, it doesn't have much impact on the water flow.
Even passing through a large school of fish only pushed the fish away without causing any commotion.
This turtle is naturally Yun He who is trying to explore into the big lake, and his goal is very clear.
'Huh. '
Suddenly.
Yun He stopped controlling the water flow, slowed down, and looked towards the dense aquatic plants below.
He felt a special spiritual energy fluctuation.
With a stroke of his paw, he dived into the water.
"laugh!!"
When he just stopped outside the water plants, a water snake came straight towards him and bit him. There were obvious fluctuations of demonic power on its body. It was obviously a water snake that had just entered the middle stage of the first-level demonic power.
Buzz——
However, before it could get close to Yun He, a silver light flashed across the water.
The next second.
The ferocious-looking water snake moved, staring, and its body slowly turned into several segments.
The red color spreads, and a strong smell of blood also fills the air.
Then a small silver sword that was short but fit perfectly with the current flowed around Yun He for a few times before being put back into the storage bag.
'Low-grade magic weapons are enough to deal with these mid-level first-order monsters with average defense. '
With thoughts flashing through his mind, Yun He dug out the gallbladder of the water snake and put it into a storage bag.
Since the cultivator successfully "sent" these two storage bags, Yun He suddenly felt that it was much more convenient.
At least you won’t miss out on good stuff because it’s difficult to carry.
Push back the weeds.
Amidst the layers of mud, a dark green spiritual plant with a faint glimmering light was looming.
'This water-bearing grass should be almost two hundred years old, right? '
Water-containing grass is one of the main materials that can be used to refine the 'Water Rhythm Pill'. It is not a rare spiritual plant. It can often be seen in the market in the world of immortality, and its value is not high.
But most of those water-bearing grasses are ten or twenty years old, and the most are fifty years old. Yunhe has never been seen over a hundred years old, let alone two hundred years old.
'The world of monsters and beasts is really underdeveloped. '
The spiritual energy of the world in which the monster beast is located is richer, so it nourishes a large number of spiritual plants.
Some of them were swallowed by various monsters.
Naturally, some parts are still preserved.
This time the water-containing grass is one of them.
In fact, this water-bearing grass is not the first spiritual plant that Yunhe has found along the way. There are already three spiritual plants that are more than a hundred years old lying quietly in his storage bag.
This is because he is still moving along a water path. If he sweeps around the lake island as the center, he will definitely be able to collect more.
Control the water flow, carefully pick the water-containing grass and put it into the storage bag.
'The utilization rate of demonic beasts for spiritual plants is too low. '
For monsters, spiritual plants are valuable, but they will only swallow them whole, and most of the medicinal properties of the spiritual plants are wasted.
'I don't know if these old spiritual plants can be 'sent'...'
You can try to start with a spiritual plant of a lower vintage to explore the limit of "transmission" between the two bodies.
'With so many spiritual plants, should a monk consider learning alchemy? '
As soon as this thought arose, he suppressed it himself.
My energy is limited, so I’d better not consider refining alchemy for now.
At least... we have to wait until we build the foundation.
After putting away the water-bearing grass, Yun He continued to move forward without stopping.
...
'Um? The spiritual energy has obviously become stronger. '
A day later, deep at the bottom of the lake, in the soil beneath the silt.
The last time it came here, it was discovered by a monster.
Although he has the "Turtle Breath Body Refining Technique" to hide his aura and the "Earth Escape Technique" to cover his body, it is still easy for such a big turtle to leave traces when moving in the soil.
Especially when encountering monsters living in the soil beneath the lake bottom.
But this time.
At the same time that he had mastered the "Turtle Breath Body Refining Technique", he had also mastered the "Earth Escape Technique". He could travel through the soil without leaving any traces.
'Well, there is a powerful guy in the southeast, and there seems to be a late-stage first-order monster in the southwest...'
Unlike in the world of cultivating immortals, most of the monks keep their spiritual power inward even if they don't know the art of breathing. The monsters don't have any so-called "hiding clumsiness" or "low-key" ideas. They show their tyrannical monster power all the time. This frightens other monsters and at the same time shows the identity of the owner of the territory.
This makes it easier for Yun He to avoid these powerful monsters.
'There are so many monsters in the late first level... Is it because the spiritual energy here is richer? '
But why rich?
still have a question.
'Why can Heiyu, with his strength as a mid-level monster, be able to escape from so many late-stage monsters? '
And it's not just one fish, it's the entire school of fish.
Was it because of the riot in the lake last time that they took advantage of the chaos to escape?
Is he going to the center of the riot this time?
'No, if the black fish was the skull picked up in the center of the riot, then even if the riot attracted the attention of most of the monsters, it would not be able to leave. '
'So the cause of the riot should be somewhere deeper in the lake. So many monsters were attracted away at that time, and the monsters here should also be inevitable, so the black fish group took advantage of the chaos and left. '
Thinking about it this way, Yun He felt much more at ease.
The riots at that time were able to attract even the monsters that inhabited the coastal waters, which shows how great the impact was.
With Yunhe's current strength, he is not qualified to contact that level.
'Um? '
Yunhe narrowed his eyes as he rummaged through the soil.
'illusion? '
Just now, he felt faintly as if demonic consciousness was sweeping over his body.
You must know that the demonic consciousness has to wait until the demonic beast reaches the second level at least before it can leave the body, and the degree of detachment depends on the level of spiritual intelligence of the demonic beast.
But if there was a second-level monster nearby, it was impossible for him not to notice it based on the opponent's monster aura alone.
And if there are second-order monsters, it is impossible for there to be so many late first-order monsters living around.
That's why he subconsciously thought it was an illusion.
But the next second, Yun He's body suddenly froze, and his whole body suddenly tensed up. At the same time, a short flying sword shot out from the soil.
Ding! !
There was a crisp sound, like a collision between metal and metal, and sound waves were transmitted in the water.
Immediately afterwards.
boom! !
I don't know what hit it, but with such force, the ground shook.
It didn't have much impact on it.
But then, he felt signs that the soil was being excavated, and after a slight hesitation, he "floated" up.
He could feel that there was a late-stage first-order monster above.
So he was also very curious as to what the feeling like demonic consciousness just now was.
But as soon as he left the soil, what greeted him was a claw covered in dark blue heavy armor.
Fortunately, Yun He had anticipated it and swung his claws forward without hesitation.
boom! !
Under the collision of the two forces, the water flowed neatly in layers, and the surrounding mud spread away. At the same time, a blue water crocodile flew out.
It looks fierce, with its dark blue armor-like scales and powerful strength. The blue water crocodile that dominates the waters has a look of astonishment in its ferocious eyes.
Looking at the huge turtle slowly crawling out of the mud, I felt even more unacceptable.
As the dominant one in the waters here, it always suppresses its opponents with its absolute power. When has it ever lost to other monsters in terms of strength?
'Tsk, that's a lot of strength. '
Yun He shook his paw, feeling a little numb.
He practices "Tuoshan Jue", and the first "Mountain Chapter" of "TuoShan Jue" focuses most on tempering the demon body. Coupled with the "Three Yang Heavy Water" beating day and night, facing those who rely entirely on instinct For a cultivating monster beast, his advantage is too great.
But even so, the blue water crocodile opposite him actually made him feel uncomfortable, which was enough to show how powerful it was in terms of strength.
Of course, it's just numb.
Taking advantage of the gap when the opponent was stunned and adjusting his body shape, Yun He grinned, swung his claws, stirred up the water, and approached at an extremely fast speed.
"Ouch!!"
Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on the face of the big turtle, the blue water crocodile was instinctively startled. The scales on its body undulated and struck, making a "swirling" metal body.
The next moment, he suddenly roared.
Not only to strengthen its own momentum, but also to spit out a ball of condensed blue water from its mouth, which rolled up the lake water and surged forward.
However, what he didn't expect was that its seemingly ferocious blow was blocked by a "water wall" built entirely by water flow with a wave of Yun He's claws.
Water wall technique!
'The way the first-order monsters use their own abilities... is really rudimentary. '
As thoughts flashed through his mind, the blue water crocodile appeared behind him in a daze.
The seemingly light claws slowly fell down.
boom! !
All of a sudden.
The mud is rising!
The water bed at the bottom of the lake is cracked!
The blue water crocodile's head was actually pushed directly under the soil by him.
There is an absolute gap in strength, a gap in skills in using power, and a gap in using demon power. They are both late-stage first-order monsters, but the blue water crocodile is far from Yun He's opponent.
'be honest! '
His heavy body stood on the back of the blue water crocodile. Feeling the restlessness beneath him, Yun He squinted his eyes and used his claws again.
boom! !
The ground shook again.
Pushing his head deeper into the soil.
Moreover, the sharp claws slowly extended, directly piercing the proud scales of the blue water crocodile and embedded in it.
Wisps of bright red spread in the water.
This time.
The blue water crocodile is completely honest.
Yunhe could even feel the fear coming from it.
What kind of turtle is this?
It looked ordinary, and there didn't seem to be any fluctuations in demonic power, but it was beaten so hard that it couldn't find the north.
at the same time.
Crash--
The water around them surged, and blue water crocodiles came after hearing the sound of their scales vibrating.
But they saw a scene that shocked them all.
Their leader was so miserable that he was pushed into the ground and couldn't move?
For a time, dozens of blue water crocodiles stopped and did not dare to move forward.
Looking at the "friendly" turtle with fear on his face.
Upon seeing this, Yun He raised his eyes and showed joy.
He was happy, naturally, not because the group of blue water crocodiles didn't come forward, but because - these group of blue water crocodiles actually knew how to be afraid?
He knew very well how reckless monster beasts were, especially how reckless monster beasts in groups were.
But the dozens of blue water crocodiles in front of them, who are only at the early stage of the first level and the middle stage of the first level, can actually stand still while watching their leader being ravaged by him. What does this mean?
It shows that their intelligence is not low!
At least, it is higher than normal monsters of the same realm.
Then think of Heiyu, who is also a bit smarter...
This means that there is a high probability that there are treasures around here that can slowly help monsters unlock their spiritual intelligence!
You must know that for monsters, spiritual intelligence can be linked to monster consciousness to a certain extent.
And that specious demon consciousness just now...
'Got you. '
He raised his paw and the water flowed.
A clam glowing red was scooped up by him.
Yun He was really surprised when he saw the red clam.
'Spirit-stained clam? '
