Hou Zi did not fly directly to Crab Claw Island, but visited dozens of islands and reefs within the passing range, even if it took a long detour.
Under such a flight path, the journey that originally took several hours took him three days to fly, because he also wanted to experience the feeling of flying in the sea at night; such an experience was crucial, and he also got lost many times during the attempt.
, but every time the sun rises, he can see the horizon and regain his sense of direction.
With this kind of experience, coupled with the direction-finding tools prepared in the luggage, at least I have a preliminary understanding of flying in the sea. I have the general direction, but the details still need to be refined.
Three days later, the sea water was no longer a gentle light green, but began to turn into a light blue, and the waves were no longer a few feet offshore, but began to develop to a few feet. He was lucky, the monsoon this season was relatively mild, otherwise there would be a tsunami and heavy rain.
, slightly smaller islands cannot be seen at all from the air.
Spiritual consciousness? It's okay when the weather is fine, but once the environment is bad, his spiritual consciousness is really not as effective as his visual consciousness in the air.
Viewed from a low altitude of several hundred feet, Crab Island is as its name suggests, just like a big crab with teeth and claws, and two large pincers. A small harbor is formed between the pincers, and it is even bigger than he imagined.
a little.
We circled the island several times in the air. This is an east-west island. To the west are two pincer tips. The terrain is getting lower and lower, and finally submerges into the sea. To the east, there are two hills, one large and one small, less than a hundred feet high, with trees on them.
Lush, lush.
The top of the slightly higher hill is steep and covered with trees; the top of the lower hill is relatively gentle, with an open space on top of which there are two stone huts; the spiritual consciousness scanned over and found no human traces, so it can be judged that this stone house is probably the historical one.
If it was built by monks, it's not like there are any natives on the island.
There are many creatures on the island, but I scanned it several times and found no big beasts, but there are so many reptiles that it deserves the name Snake Island. Of course, these cold-blooded animals cannot survive only on tooth-eating animals. Their most important thing is
The prey is endless birds and their offspring - bird eggs.
Of course, he would not think that there would be any monsters here. There had been before, and they had been killed by humans during hundreds of years of human presence. There was no way it would be possible to form a climate again.
Of course there are island monsters, but they can only appear on deeper islands. According to the map, island monsters will appear after two thousand miles of the coastline, let alone nine thousand miles, because it is another world.
Slowly descending, as if they could feel his arrival, countless long insects swam out of the two stone houses and left their homes reluctantly; the island had been idle for more than a year, and no one had been willing to come until he had a special request.
As far as his personal habits are concerned, he doesn't like living in a stone house, but this does not mean that he will tolerate the stone house being occupied by worms.
He will clear out the place, place a humanoid puppet, and arrange a magic circle around the stone house to create the illusion that someone is practicing in it; as for himself, he can just find a place to practice, and he doesn't have to be fixed in a certain position.
.
When traveling far away from the continental shelf, the most important thing is to protect yourself. No one will abide by the law overseas. Everyone is free to let themselves go. He cannot rely on the kindness of others for his own safety.
Puppet, magic circle, early warning, these measures are the most common means for monks. He can think that others can also do it, but it is not enough; his real means is not here, but in the earth escape that he has been working hard for, especially that one.
The precious map of a thousand-mile journey.
In the following time, he will use earth escape skills to drill through every land of the island. With his first glimpse of earth escape and grassroots stories, he will travel thousands of miles and turn this place into his own mouse nest. There will still be no mouse holes.
That kind of.
When he can appear underground on any inch of the island at will, this is the territory that truly belongs to him. This is the meaning of Earth Escape. No one would have thought that a sword cultivator would learn Earth Escape as soon as he got started.
It doesn't match Feijian at all.
This was his original intention in choosing martial arts. Others would think about how to appear holy in front of others and how to become an immortal or a god in the future. He didn't think about that much, he just thought about how to live.
Along the way, he has offended many people and killed many people. He has been punished for a long time and is very aware of his retribution. When he was still a small criminal in Fufeng City, there were indispensable vicious people who took revenge on him every year.
, associates of big thieves, interest groups; if this is the case in the mortal world, how could the world of cultivation be peaceful?
It's just that he was in the Quanzhen system of Shan country, and someone threw a tantrum. Now he is far away from Shan country, without the support of Quanzhen system, and is alone overseas. If he is an unknown swordsman, it would be easy to say, but he is waiting outside.
With so many blood debts, it is impossible to say that no one cares about him.
Therefore, he must give himself a truly safe guarantee. To achieve this, ordinary magic circles are useless. Before he becomes truly powerful, he still has to rely on this earth escape technique to survive.
After a complete survey of Crab Claw Island, in the following days, the practice began to get on the right track.
The main focus of the technique is still on earth escape, and he plans not to try the thunder technique until he has completely mastered the Thousand Miles of Earth Travel Map.
Every day, in addition to the normal morning, noon and evening classes, and practicing his flying sword control, he spent most of his time in two aspects.
First of all, he can escape all over Crab Claw Island without missing a single rock or crack in the soil; his earth escape can now penetrate one foot into the soil and three feet into the rock layer. It varies according to the geological conditions. He will never accidentally fart again.
-The buttocks are exposed.
The speed can also reach the level of ordinary people jogging on the ground. This may sound ordinary, but if you consider it within the soil layer, this speed is amazing.
This is just a basic skill. His understanding of Cao Gentan has made obvious progress in this aspect because he is close to nature. The effect is that his energy will not be exposed due to the leakage of Qi during Earth Escape.
The worst earth escape is when a person escapes below and a moving bulge appears on the ground. It is better not to escape at all. It is purely deceiving oneself and deceiving others.
The function of Caogentan is to disperse the Qi energy to these plants on the ground, and absorb the Qi energy of the monks who escape underground through their rhizomes, so that the gods and ghosts are not aware of it; it is not needed for the major cultivators who have mastered the Dao.
It's so troublesome, they will solve this problem perfectly at the five elements level, but for minor and medium cultivators below the level of Yingbian who do not have the ability to understand the Great Dao, this is a fatal flaw.
This is why Earth Escape is so magical but not many middle- and low-level monks practice it.
Secondly, fly around the Crab Claw Island; use your sword skills to circle around the Crab Island over and over again. While practicing your sword skills, you can also explore the surrounding sea areas.
And this radius is getting bigger and bigger, from a few miles around the island to tens of miles, dozens of miles. During the circumference, you will become familiar with the ocean climate, wind shear, day and night cycles, and the dynamics of the sea people.
No battle is easy. As long as a monk does not fool himself, the battle will not fail him.
Survival is a very serious issue and there are no shortcuts.
