Compared with the general trend of the world, Zhao Xun is obviously more concerned about the monster's lair at sea.
The grade of this snake lin beast is not high, so the information he has is limited. Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi has used the mind-observation and beast-controlling skills. The current information he has is that there is a small island in the sea a hundred miles away from Ningzhou City.
This island is called Niutuo Island. The island is not big, but it is a desert island with few people.
There are many monsters entrenched here, using Niutuo Island as a springboard to invade Ningzhou.
Zhao Xun already had concerns about this.
This Niutuo Island must be just a gathering place for a small number of monsters, but so what, since Zhao Xun has made up his mind to eradicate the monsters, he naturally has to do it step by step.
It is unrealistic to want to plow the court and sweep the holes to kill the demon king from the very beginning.
"Teacher, what are the chances of winning if we go to the island?"
Among the people currently, the one with the strongest cultivation and the highest strength is Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi. This is why Zhao Xun first asked him for his opinion.
If his mentor said there was no problem, then Zhao Xun wouldn't have any worries.
"It's hard to say. I just don't know how high the level of the monsters on the island is."
The always proud Taoist Priest Qinglian didn't say enough this time, which somewhat surprised Zhao Xun.
"But apart from the Demon King, isn't it rare that demon beasts are above level three?"
Zhao Xun asked.
"That's the truth, but there are some special circumstances."
Wu Quanyi paused and explained: "Monsters, like humans, have a certain upper limit for their cultivation due to their own physique. Do you still remember what I said when I first met you?"
Zhao Xun nodded and said in a deep voice: "At that time, my mentor said that my apprentice's qualifications were not suitable for martial arts."
"Yes, everyone is good at different things. Just like you are not good at martial arts, but you are good at literature. The same goes for monsters. Some monsters are very talented, and their cultivation level increases quickly. Some monsters are talented even though they are talented. If it doesn’t work, we can make up for this gap by devouring living beings.”
Wu Quanyi had already said it very cryptically, but Zhao Xun still felt a thump in his heart when he heard this.
It turns out that monsters prey on humans not only to satisfy their appetites, but also to improve their cultivation.
When he thought of this, Zhao Xun felt very angry.
"They are really a bunch of beasts, they eat people just to improve their cultivation!"
What is the difference between these guys and the people in the Demon Sect?
No! They are simply more terrifying and hateful than the Demon Sect!
"Moreover, monster beasts are different from ordinary practitioners. Their levels are often half to 10% higher than a person's cultivation level. For example, if a monster beast has reached the third-level realm, it will actually compete with a second-level practitioner. It has been possible to not fall behind at all.”
"hiss."
Hearing this, Zhao Xun gasped.
It's so terrifying, so terrifying.
"Moreover, monsters like to live in groups. There are dozens to hundreds of monsters on the island. There is no problem in being a teacher, but can you withstand it?"
Damn it!
The teacher's words were not very harmful, but they were extremely insulting.
He recalled the despair he felt when he first met his mentor at the Duke's Mansion and said that his talent was not suitable for martial arts.
How can a man be told no?
"Teacher, don't worry, there is no problem here, disciple."
"Well..."
Wu Quanyi knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly went back and added: "Actually, it's not that difficult. Ordinary-level monsters still pose no threat to you."
Zhao Xun's self-esteem was still very strong. He puffed up his chest and then asked: "Teacher, how high is the grade of this snake and lin beast?"
"It should be at least seventh grade."
Seventh grade...
"It turns out that it is the same level as mine. But it is a monster. According to my teacher, its seventh level is more powerful than my seventh level..."
"Gene Era"
Zhao Xun muttered a few words silently, then patted his head: "No, the mountain chief said that the Confucian grade is unique among practitioners. Only the Confucian can transcend the grade to defeat the enemy and kill people, right, third senior brother?"
Zhao Xun looked at his third senior brother Long Qingquan with a look of help in his eyes.
"good."
The third senior brother obviously understood what Zhao Xun meant, nodded and said: "The grade of Confucianism should be higher than that of other categories."
"So the level and strength of this snake-lin beast and I should be about the same."
"So, mentor, you don't have to worry about me. Maybe I can't help you much, but there's nothing wrong with protecting yourself."
"Well, that's good. I'm worried that there will really be a fight then, and I won't be able to take care of you."
Wu Quanyi shook the sleeves of his Taoist robe and said: "It's been a long time since I had a good fight as a master. The one in Huangzhou doesn't count. The evildoer from the Demon Sect in Huangzhou City took advantage of the fortune of heaven and earth to forcefully enter the rank and improve his cultivation. For The master is almost dueling with a demon who has one foot in the first rank. This kind of fight is not interesting, it must be evenly matched to be fun."
How come the duel between master practitioners has become like children's play house in the words of my mentor Wu Quanyi?
Zhao Xun was dumbfounded.
"Then when do we leave?"
Zhao Xun couldn't wait any longer.
"No rush, let me write a few more talismans first."
Wu Quanyi obviously had a plan.
He said solemnly: "Things like talismans can still come in handy at critical times. If they fail, they can save lives."
Senior Brother Sixth echoed from the side: "Taoist Priest Qinglian is right. Even though the Talisman Master is usually inconspicuous, he can be of great use at critical times."
"If Taoist Priest Qinglian doesn't mind, I can also help make the talisman."
"Okay, then it's hard work."
"Teacher, I have another question. Should we just go to the island this time, or should we invite the Jinwu Guard soldiers to join us?"
When searching the mountains and seas, Zhao Xun called on the Jinwu Guards and a group of government officers and soldiers.
Now we are about to go to the island. If Zhao Xun does not let the soldiers follow him at this juncture, it will be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.
But from the perspective of protecting their safety, not letting them go to the island is indeed the most correct choice.
Although ordinary soldiers are physically strong, they are no different from cattle and sheep in front of monsters. They are all prey.
"In my opinion, they should not go to the island, but they can be allowed to take a boat to the vicinity of the island and block this sea area."
Wu Quanyi thought about it carefully and suggested in a deep voice.
"Teacher, this method is good."
Zhao Xun and the others will definitely fight with all their strength after landing on the island.
In this case, there will be almost no extra energy on those monsters trying to escape.
These monster beasts will definitely flee in all directions after being injured. Only by sealing off the entire area can we ensure that no monster beast is released.
This point is very important. If the monster is released and it is notified to the Demon King, it is likely to affect Zhao Xun's next strategy, which will be extremely detrimental to Zhao Xun's efforts to quell the monster on the southeast coast.
