"Look after your home."
Yun He ignored the little fox's eager eyes and slowly walked into the lake step by step.
It's not that he doesn't want the little fox to help.
With the strength of the mid-level second-level monsters and various illusions and auxiliary spells, it can still provide a lot of help if it encounters enemies.
But this time it is not on the shore or in the mountains and forests, but in the lake.
As a fox, he is still severely restricted under the lake.
Moreover, the degree of danger of this trip cannot be determined yet, but Yun He is still confident enough to protect himself, but if he takes the little fox with him and encounters danger, it will be hard to say.
After all, this is his first second-level monster, so it’s better not to die casually.
The cool lake water covered the turtle's back.
After gently swiping his paw twice, Yun He slowly swam in the direction of the lake where he felt a faint feeling of imminence.
"Woooo!!"
Looking at Yun He who had disappeared from sight, the little fox puffed out his mouth and became a little angry.
He kicked his feet angrily and kicked a small piece of gravel into the water, making a big splash.
He noticed the looks the monsters were giving him.
"Woo!"
'What are you looking at! Don’t you feel ashamed that the king himself has to take action every time? Go back to practice quickly! '
After the words fell, the monsters and beasts "fleeed" one after another.
But what the little fox said makes sense. If the "King" had to take action every time, wouldn't these subordinates lose their effect a little bit?
Of course, for most monsters who have just begun to develop their intelligence, they won't think so much.
It's just that monsters like the little fox, the white ape king, the red-bellied snake, the green shadow swallow, the blue water crocodile, the black fish, and the loach, which have relatively unlocked their intelligence, feel a little pressure.
'Come with me and I will teach you how to practice as a monster! '
The little fox looked at them and muttered.
Although the "Eighth Transformation Spirit Fox Skill" it practices is not suitable for them, it can still be achieved by teaching some cultivation concepts and methods.
Naturally, the White Ape King and the others would not refuse.
Yunhe dived into the lake without knowing what happened after it left.
In fact, even if I knew about it, I wouldn't care much about it. At most, I would just smile.
It would be best if his subordinates were more powerful, but it didn't matter if they were not powerful. Anyway, he was not prepared to let them provide him with much combat help.
It is enough to be able to help take care of the medicine fields and investigate intelligence and information.
Regardless of whether he is a monk or a monster, he always believes in himself the most.
'As one wishes! '
I saw its body shape changing, from its original huge size to about three feet in size, and then it used the "Turtle Breath Body Refining Technique" to cover up its aura and cultivation.
Slowly, he encountered some monsters.
Most of them are almost heading in the same direction, but most of them are just first-order monsters, instinctively heading in the direction of attraction.
As for Yun He, who had completely covered up his aura, these monsters naturally turned a blind eye.
But as we continued to go deeper, we slowly encountered some second-level monsters.
Most of them did not conceal their auras, and were so shocked that some ordinary fish and even weak monsters did not dare to approach them at all.
Yun He didn't pay much attention to these monsters.
But the feeling of being ready to move from the instinct of the monster became more and more obvious, and it made him more and more curious.
What on earth could attract so many monsters at the same time and have such a large range of influence?
'You can't even attract third-level monsters, right? '
Yun He couldn't help but think in his heart.
If a third-level monster intervened, he would definitely leave without looking back.
When passing through the place where the formation was sealed under the river bed, Yun He couldn't help but stop for a moment.
However, this place is almost the same as when he first came here, except that there are fewer monsters wandering around.
It seems that after losing the "Spirit Gathering Pearl" and the ray of blood that can help monsters unlock their spiritual wisdom, this place has become much less attractive to monsters.
He stopped because he wanted to see if he could see the Thousand-bearded Earthworm from back then. At that time, the other party had a hard time chasing him.
However, after scanning with his demonic consciousness, he didn't find anything, and he didn't want to waste too much time here, so Yun He left.
move on.
Compared with the last time, Yun He, who has now reached the middle stage of the second level, is much more comfortable.
Although the closer he got to the lake, the more second-order monsters he encountered, but there was no trace of the third-order monsters, which made Yun He feel a little relieved.
finally.
In his sight.
An island appeared.
Island in the lake.
This was the first time Yun He saw an island in the lake.
Looking from afar.
The whole island is aglow with red, as if it is covered with red maple leaves.
The lake breeze blows by, bringing with it rustling sounds and bursts of alluring aroma. Even the pattering of rain cannot resist it.
Even if it was Yun He, when he raised his head from the water and smelled this smell, he couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart.
And many monsters were attracted by this fragrance and came one after another.
But if you look closer, you will find that the maple trees growing on the island are not maples.
It is a special kind of spiritual plant that looks like a pagoda in layers. The whole plant is bright red in color, with only the central rhizome showing a light yellow color, exuding a light halo and some hazy dust.
There are already many monsters frantically vying to snatch this spiritual plant, and they won't hesitate to fight.
Many monsters have even died because of this.
"Red Neon Grass"
Seeing this spiritual plant, Yun He was stunned and murmured.
His expression gradually became weird.
This kind of spiritual plant is not very precious. In the world of cultivating immortals, monks have seen this spiritual plant more than once in some classics.
It has only one purpose.
Promote the reproduction of monsters!
That's right.
This kind of spiritual plant will not increase the demonic power of the demonic beast, nor can it bring any substantial help to the demonic beast. It has one and only one function, which is to promote the reproduction of the demonic beast.
In more popular terms, it is the "aphrodisiac" for monsters.
However, this grass is extremely attractive and tempting to monsters. For most low-level monsters, mating, reproduction, and reproduction are also one of the most primitive and instinctive behaviors.
So after seeing the appearance of this grass clearly, Yun He was speechless.
I thought it would be some kind of treasure that would attract so many monsters, but it turned out to be "Red Neon Grass".
Moreover, Yunhe also noticed that most of the tower-shaped "red neon grass" on the island only have two floors.
In other words, these "red neon grasses" can attract at most second-order monsters or below, and cannot attract any interest from third-order monsters.
"Um?"
but.
When he was about to return in a lukewarm mood, he discovered.
There are quite a few monsters that have died here, and there are even many corpses and remains of monsters floating on the lake next to the island.
But what is surprising is that the lake water around the island in the lake is still very clear, with no sign of being dyed red by the blood of monster beasts, as if all the blood of monster beasts has been absorbed by something.
Noticing this, Yun He felt a chill in his heart.
'Is this a trap? A trap specifically targeting first- and second-level monsters? '
But then he discovered that although most of the monsters were attracted by the "red grass", there were still some second-level monsters that ignored the "red grass" and walked straight through the "red grass" towards the lake. Go to the island.
Their eyes are clear and firm, and they don't seem to be photographed by anything.
With some curiosity, Yun He came closer again.
Boom!
Suddenly.
Yun He's heart skipped a beat.
This feeling was all too familiar to him.
When he first discovered that special ray of essence and blood, his heart began to beat like this.
"Boom!"
The heartbeat seemed to be ringing right on my eardrums.
At the same time, he also instinctively felt that there seemed to be something particularly attractive to him on the island in the lake.
He could even feel the blood flow in his body speeding up, and the demon elixir in Qihai Dantian became particularly active.
'Could it be that the 'Red Neon Grass' is just a facade, and the secret that really led to all this is on the island? '
After hesitating for a moment, Yun He approached.
Since many second-order monsters have gone to the island, even if there is any unexpected situation, these second-order monsters can give him enough warning.
It should be too late to escape in time.
Crash--
On the water, in the water, under the water and even in the sky.
The fight between monsters and beasts is constant, and the noises they bring are constant.
He skillfully avoids all possible conflicts.
Came to the shore.
I noticed that there were actually many plant-based monsters on the island. They were not affected by the "Red Neon Grass" and took this opportunity to continuously prey on the monsters that were attracted to them. It was their long-lost feast.
Slowly climb up to the island.
Yun He's demon consciousness has not been withdrawn.
Always watch to see if anything unexpected happens.
When he got to the island, he climbed about three or four miles.
The demon consciousness suddenly spotted a stone tablet.
Stone tablet?
Its texture is similar to the stone tablet in the little fox's lair, and it also has some words engraved on it.
The text of the demon clan!
After passing the last stone tablet, Yunhe more or less recognized some demonic characters.
I also read some contents from this stone tablet.
".Demon Pond Blood"
However, he knew too few words and could only understand a few words by half-guessing and half-reading.
He continued walking until he came to the stone monument, and then stopped again.
Looking at the ancient or even decaying stone tablet, his eyes were filled with aura.
Spiritual eyes!
With the help of "Spiritual Eyes", although a lot of the content on it is still incomprehensible, the meaning of some words can be roughly understood.
"Washing Demon Pond"
Yun He's eyes gradually widened, revealing a look of disbelief.
He turned and looked toward the center of the island.
really.
The target of many second-level monsters that have come to the island is the entrance to the "Demon Washing Pool" in the center of the island.
Moreover, the heartbeat ringing in his ears told him again and again that he needed to go to the center of the island.
'I didn't expect to encounter a secret realm in the world of monsters and beasts. '
That's right.
This so-called "Demon Washing Pond" is not just a pond.
Rather, it is a secret realm left behind by an ancient demon clan power or some other existence.
As for this stone tablet, it seems that it was not left by the owner of this secret place.
"Red neon grass" is only the first step to attract monsters, and "washing the monster pool" is the real focus.
According to the stone tablet, there is indeed a "demon-washing pool" in the deepest part of the secret realm, which can wash the blood of demon beasts.
It can achieve the powerful effect of purifying and increasing the blood concentration of monsters.
For a monster beast, purifying the bloodline concentration is equivalent to increasing the monster beast's potential, or even improving the monster beast's cultivation level.
This made Yunhe feel a little bit excited.
After all, he has already experienced the benefits of blood purification.
The bloodline of monsters can, to a certain extent, match the spiritual roots of monks.
It’s not that monsters with poor bloodline cannot improve their cultivation.
But if the blood concentration is high, it is like a monk with high spiritual root talent.
The speed of cultivation will be accelerated, and the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck will be relatively much smaller.
However, Yunhe also understands that opportunities often come with risks. The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk.
He was hesitant to wade into this troubled waters.
Until I saw the last text on the stone tablet, it said that if the "Demon Washing Pond" or some special location cannot be reached within a certain period of time, the secret realm will be closed and the monsters that enter it will be kicked out automatically.
He didn't know the specific time. It wasn't that the stone tablet didn't write it, but that the monster who wrote the stone tablet had a different definition of time than Yun He did. It was not divided into days, months, and years.
But it probably won't be long.
It was precisely because of the mechanism of this secret realm that Yunhe decided to try it.
'If it is really dangerous, the worst case scenario is to huddle in a corner and wait for the time to expire. Anyway, as a monk, you don't have to worry about training resources. '
This is the thought.
Yun He memorized all the understandable and unintelligible words on the stone tablet.
Climb carefully towards the center of the island.
During this period, he took out a "message talisman" from the storage bag, left the content, ignited the talisman and let it fly to Huanhu Island.
Finally, taking advantage of the gap when no other monsters were paying attention, he passed through a thin film without feeling any obstruction.
