The two of them were seriously looking for the fifth-level clam demon this time.
It's just that maybe the previous fight between them caused too much noise. Those clam demons sensed the danger and either fled here or hid.
They swam half a circle around the coral island and surrounding reefs but did not see a single clam demon.
Seeing that they didn't have much time to avoid the water, Zhuzhu sighed helplessly and was about to surface with Jiaojiao when he suddenly heard a scream coming from the front. If you listen carefully, you can also hear some faint sounds of fighting.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Zhuzhu and Jiaojiao quietly swam forward for two or three miles and saw the middle-aged man who had invited them to form a team on the shore fighting a fifth-level clam demon alone.
But the disparity in strength between him and the clam demon was so great that one of his arms had already been broken off by the clam demon.
With only one arm left, he was no match for the fifth-level clam demon. Seeing that he was about to be pulled into the clam shell by the fifth-level clam demon, Zhuzhu immediately threw out a vine and snatched the middle-aged man away from the clam demon. Snatched it out in time.
The middle-aged man, who originally thought he was certain to die, found that he was out of the clam demon's attack range in a blink of an eye.
He was stunned, but soon realized that he had been rescued. He quickly turned back to look at his savior. When he saw that it was the two Foundation-Building Dzogchen female cultivators who had met once before, he couldn't help being stunned again. one time.
At that time, they rejected his request to form a team. Unexpectedly, when they met again, they were willing to reach out and save his life.
"Thank you two fellow Taoists for saving my life." The middle-aged man quickly responded and thanked him quickly.
"No need to thank you. You can't kill this fifth-level clam demon and get the pearl anyway, so why not use it to repay your life-saving grace."
Zhuzhu and the other two didn't wait for the middle-aged man to agree, and each of them killed the clam demon that almost killed him with one sword and one sword.
Middle-aged man:...
Well, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. With his own strength, let alone killing clams to get pearls, it would be difficult for him to even survive in front of the clam demon, but the two of them, Zhu Zhu, can easily kill the clam demon.
It can be seen that his strength is far inferior to theirs, and he is neither qualified to form a team with them nor begging for pearls.
After all, he wasn't the one who killed the clam demon, and he was helped to save his life.
But he really wanted a moiré pearl, otherwise he wouldn't risk his life alone in the sea without anyone to team up with him.
Zhuzhu dug out two fist-sized black pearls with silver cloud patterns from the body of the fifth-level clam demon and gave one to Jiaojiao.
The water-repellent beads they brought were second-level water-repellent beads bought at a street stall in Roland City. They could only stay underwater for about four hours.
Once the time is up, the water-avoiding beads are useless, and they must surface, otherwise they will suffocate to death.
The time was almost up. Zhuzhu pulled Jiaojiao upstream. The middle-aged man hesitated and followed them and shouted: "Two fellow Taoists, I want to buy a moiré pearl from you. It's just my soul." If I don’t have enough stones, can I exchange them with a message?”
Zhuzhu and Jiaojiao looked back at him and pointed at the increasingly darker color of Shui Shuizhu around their waists: "Go out and talk."
In fact, there is no use for the two of them to get the moire pearls. They are just afraid that people on the shore will suspect that the death of the man in blue is related to them. Then they can use the moire pearls they just took out to prove that they are really looking for pearls.
And because they are still young and advance quickly, they do not need to take the pill to stabilize their appearance.
Any elixir will more or less produce erysipelas that will block the spiritual veins. Taking too much will also make the foundation of cultivation that is impacted by the elixir more and more unstable.
Unless necessary, they generally would not take pills.
Even if it's a pill that stabilizes your appearance, like the Dingyan Pill, you still can't take it without taking it.
After all, eating the first pill can stabilize your appearance for a hundred years, but the second pill can only stabilize your appearance for fifty years, and then gradually decreases.
But after tasting the sweetness of the Dingyan Pill, few female cultivators can no longer refuse the temptation of the Dingyan Pill. In order to prevent their appearance from getting old, they will frantically accumulate spiritual stones to buy the Dingyan Pill.
Even if the effectiveness of the Dingyan Pill becomes shorter and shorter after taking it, he will not hesitate.
Seeing that they did not refuse directly, the middle-aged man knew that this deal might be promising, so he hurriedly followed them and swam to the sea, and then swam to the shore.
The shore was very lively at this time, with more than a hundred people gathered around.
Even Luo Mei, the daughter of the city lord of Luolan City, and the steward of Quncui Pavilion’s spiritual ship also rushed over.
The reason why the stewards of Quncui Pavilion came here was because the guards of the Lord's Palace of Luolan City notified them to come and recognize someone.
Because they found the ship passenger jade plaque of the Quncui Pavilion Ling Ship on the waist of the dead Yan Quan.
"It's him!"
The steward of Quncui Pavilion recognized the dead Yan Quan at a glance as the Jindan master who was attacked and screamed in pain on the spirit ship.
I didn't expect that he would die here just over a day after getting off the ship.
"who is he?"
The deceased was a real person in the middle stage of Jindan. It is said that he was secretly chased to death by someone before his death.
Being able to kill a real person in the middle stage of the Golden Core with one strike shows that the secret killer's strength must be quite high.
For this kind of mysterious figure who is very powerful and difficult to distinguish between good and evil, Luo Lian, the lord of Roland City, attaches great importance to it. He asked his daughter to come over with a group of guards to investigate who is the murderer behind the scenes. Is he coming to Butterfly Island to be a friend or an enemy, or is he a friend? Passing by?
"I don't know his specific name, but he did board our Quncui Pavilion Spirit Ship in the Tiandu City of Dongheng Kingdom. He also disembarked and left yesterday. I just didn't expect that he, a real person in the middle stage of Jindan, would die here."
And seeing how he died in one blow, it was shocking and terrifying at the same time.
Luo Mei looked down at Yan Quan's body and found traces of a storage ring on the ring finger of his right hand. However, the storage ring disappeared. Needless to say, the storage ring must have been picked up by the person who first saw him being killed. .
She went up to check that the only wound on Yan Quan's body was the fatal wound on his forehead.
There was only a tiny red dot, and even the brains and blood inside were dead before they had time to flow out.
This shows how fast that arrow is.
Miraculously, the arrow that killed the man disappeared after killing the man, leaving only a wound.
Luo Mei touched the red spot on Yan Quan's forehead and felt a slight cold touch.
It's the ice aura that hasn't dissipated yet.
Luo Mei instantly guessed that the person who killed this man was a monk with mutated ice spiritual roots.
Or he (she) holds an ice-type secret treasure in his or her hand.
It's a pity that he arrived a step too late. This man's storage ring had already been taken away. Now it was difficult to know his identity.
But Luo Mei did not give up. Such a talented master came to Roland City, and she had to find out who it was.
"Which fellow Taoist picked up the deceased's storage ring?"
Luo Mei looked up at the monks watching the fun.
Immediately I saw a figure taking a few steps back with a guilty conscience and wanting to leave.
Luo Mei signaled the guards behind him to step forward and stop the man.
"I'm not trying to steal the storage ring, I'm just looking to see if there's anything inside that can prove the identity of the deceased."
Luo Mei stepped forward and extended his hand.
That person was only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and was surrounded by a group of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen guards, and there was Luo Mei, a monk in the early stage of the Golden Core, in front of him.
He had no choice but to hand over Yan Quan's storage ring obediently: "Aside from some spiritual stones, there is only one token in it."
