In the days that followed, Xu Dao sat quietly on the rocks, sleepless, waiting for the sea area about three hundred miles ahead to calm down.
But to his surprise, the foundation-building monsters in the sea seemed to have no fear and no fear of life and death. They were stirring and fighting crazily there.
For six or seven days, the seawater in the area where the golden pillar fell did not become clear. Instead, it became increasingly turbid, and the blood color continued to expand, reaching ten times the original size.
The number of foundation-building monsters that Xu Dao had seen with his own eyes was no less than ten. This meat grinder-like food court made him frown and feel lucky at the same time.
Xu Daoduo thanked him for being more prudent at that time, otherwise, if he had easily participated in it, not only might he not be able to get the golden pillar, but he might also die of exhaustion in it.
This is not because Xu Dao does not believe in his own strength, but during these days, he has already understood why the monsters in the sea are crazy and unwise!
For six or seven days, Xu Dao watched the battle sleeplessly and gained a new understanding of the strength of the undersea beasts and the surrounding environment.
At noon that day, the weather was sunny and almost cloudless.
The golden sunlight shines directly into the sea water, allowing the naked eye to clearly see the sea surface more than ten feet below. A scaly fish swims among it, as well as jellyfish, turtles, seahorses, mayflies and other things. Every detail is visible, and the scenery is exquisite.
beauty.
But Xu Dao stared at the transparent blue sea water, his eyebrows furrowed and he said nothing.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand again, scooped out a handful of sea water from the air, and turned it into a light blue water ball suspended in the middle. There was also a small and transparent shrimp inside, which was moving with a flickering tail.
Whether it is sea water or shrimp, there is nothing surprising or unusual to the naked eye.
But when Xu Dao raised his eyes slightly and his true energy filled his pupils, he looked over with his spiritual eyes and saw that the light blue water ball was releasing traces of blood-colored aura, which was strange and beautiful.
Although this blood-colored aura is thin, it is clearly a kind of evil aura that is difficult to detect, but it can also contaminate the soul of living beings, distort the mind, and make people go crazy and become possessed.
When Xu Dao withdrew his gaze and looked at the endless sea, the sea surface in his eyes was all red. The intersection of blue and red was more strange than a mere water ball.
Xu Dao was once again surprised in his heart: "What is going on in the West Sea? Why is the entire sea water filled with evil spirits? Could it be that I happen to be in an evil vein, and only the nearby sea area is like this?"
The scene in front of him was similar to when he sneaked into Shezhao Dragon Palace. The evil spirit in the water was diffuse, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
But the difference is that the evil spirit in the West Sea here is more peculiar. It seems to have little effect on small fish and shrimps, but only affects monsters, and the scope of effect is larger. Xu Dao looked around and saw everything.
Everywhere is shrouded in evil spirits.
He couldn't help but take a look at the bottom of the sea. If his estimate was correct, the deeper the sea water, the higher the concentration of strange evil spirits, and the greater the effect of corroding people's souls and minds.
Xu Dao chewed it over and over in his heart, and thought to himself: "The monsters in the sea are affected by this evil spirit and are irrational. They should be called ferocious beasts, not monsters."
Although monsters are inhuman and cruel, they are also intelligent, know how to advance and retreat, and have their own way of doing things, which is different from wild beasts.
Before arriving at Xihai, Xu Dao had many fantasies and expectations about Xihai, and he was also prepared to adapt to it. However, he did not expect that after he actually came, the first thing he saw caught him off guard.
However, his eyes also flickered, and there was no trace of disappointment.
Whether you adapt to it or not is another matter, but the resources for cultivation in the West Sea should be extremely abundant, far beyond what Wu State can compare with.
Xu Dao's eyes narrowed slightly: "There can be so many foundation-building ferocious beasts within a mere thousand miles. If this is just an ordinary sea area, compared with it, Wu State is really a remote place with shallow water in the well."
A real dragon cannot be raised in a well. Now that a person is in the West Sea, he promises someone not to reach the sky in one step, but to form a golden elixir, and he should be able to have a lot of fun.
He calmed down and waited anxiously for some time to come.
Xu Dao suddenly stood up from the rock and looked at the area where the golden pillar fell in surprise. The blood color in his eyes that had not dissipated for a long time had begun to fade.
Moreover, the sea surface is also calm, and there are no more signs of giant beasts fighting and fighting on the bottom of the sea.
Xu Dao thought in his eyes, but finally he flew up on tiptoes, with a lot of spiritual light superimposed, and took the initiative to move there.
"Although there is evil spirit in the water, and the evil spirit is strange, now I have not only built the foundation, but also condensed the evil spirit. Even if I fight with giant beasts in the water, nothing will happen in one day."
He was looking forward to it in his heart. Although he was afraid of the evil spirit in the sea, he did not stop because of it.
After blocking Xu Dao and marching cautiously for a hundred or two hundred miles, he relaxed even more. He held the cuttlefish sword, and the sword energy around him screamed, free and easy.
The last hundred miles.
Xu Dao easily crossed over, and then patrolled the area where the golden pillar fell for a while. His spiritual consciousness kept scanning, but no monster at the foundation level was found.
He no longer hesitated at this time, and directly wrapped himself with sword energy and jumped into the sea water.
After entering the sea water, the evil spirit dissolved in the water continued to erode him. As he dived deeper, the concentration of the evil spirit became thicker as expected. Fortunately, the real dragon's evil spirit was strong and he could easily block it out.
When the light dimmed and everything was dark, Xu Dao had no choice but to take on half a dragon form and look at the scene in the water with his vertical eyes.
Not only were there no live foundation-building ferocious beasts in this sea area, but there were also no corpses of the ferocious beasts. After a long search, Xu Dao regretted in his heart: "These beasts eat so cleanly, not even a trace of dregs is left.
"
He also felt a slight shiver in his heart. There were no less than ten ferocious beasts fighting here, and there were more than two at the Gang Refining level. Such a large amount of foundation-building flesh and blood should allow the devourer to make a lot of profits.
Xu Dao thought to himself unkindly: "If it's just one head, will that guy die?"
He suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued searching in the sea.
As time passed, the aura of the ferocious beasts dissipated, and small monsters followed the smell of blood and rushed towards them.
Xu Dao was wandering around in the sea, but he had already penetrated an unknown number of feet to the bottom of the sea. The body of the dragon was completely revealed, and like a giant beast in the sea, it set off waves of undercurrents and frightened away the little monster beasts that came running towards him.
Contrary to Xu Dao's expectations, his dragon form is extremely adaptable to the activities of the sea. Even if there is evil in the water, he is still as comfortable as a fish in water, and he can persist all day and night without any problem.
In the dark sea water, he kept stirring up the sand, and found a lot of bone fragments, but no golden pillars.
"Could it be that the whole thing hit the bottom of the sea?" Xu Dao couldn't help but think.
Although there is sea water as a buffer, the gold pillar itself is heavy and hard. If the sediment on the seabed is too thick or there are cracks, the gold pillar may sink into it and get stuck.
For a moment, Xu Dao thought to himself: "It would be great if there were still many tooth generals and scale soldiers."
Although there are still hundreds of them in his inner world, they are all at the Qi refining level. Moreover, the evil energy around the seabed is too strong. If the Qi refining earthworms fall into it, they will turn into beasts and insects within a few seconds and run wildly.
, out of his control.
As for the last Foundation-Building Tooth General, Xu Dao had just fed the flesh and blood of the fish-headed dragon corpse to the opponent not long ago. It is still being planted, and he is looking forward to harvesting a powerful Tooth General. If he uses it now, it will be too much to gain.
As a last resort, Xu Dao could only continue to keep his head down, groping alone on the bottom of the sea.
Although the golden pillar was huge, ten feet in size, he still felt like he was searching for a needle in a haystack.
After working hard for several days, Xu Dao kept going back and forth between the bottom of the sea and above the sea, just like a whale in need of air.
Finally, when he expanded the search area to nearly thirty miles and went deeper into the sand layer, a golden object finally appeared in his consciousness.
Xu Dao was immediately excited, and he mustered up his magic power to lift up the sand layer by layer.
The golden pillar is exposed, even if it is on the dark bottom of the sea, but as long as a spiritual light falls on it, the entire pillar will burn like fire, blooming with golden light.
As he expected, those giant beasts in the sea were not demon cultivators, but ferocious beasts. They had no intelligence and did not take away this thing.
Xu Dao was overjoyed. He couldn't help but growl, swing his scaly tail, and immediately pounced forward, using his giant claws to pull out the golden pillar from the sand.
He just pulled it gently, and the entire pillar actually followed his will and was pulled out. It was more obedient than in the Broken Fairy Garden!
Xu Dao lurked under the sea, hugged the golden pillar, and started waving it in his hands.
Gurgling! The undercurrent immediately surged at the bottom of the sea, and the mud and sand stirred up, turning it into a mess.
During the dance, Xu Dao involuntarily input magic power into the golden pillar, and thoughts flashed through his mind: "Big, big, big!"
Buzz!
He saw that the golden pillar absorbed his magic power and immediately changed. Its shape became larger and its weight also increased, making Xu Dao unable to hold it for a while.
Xu Dao became interested, so he simply placed the pillar in place and continued to input mana, hoping to see how big the golden pillar could become.
As a result, after some testing, the maximum length of this pillar can be over a hundred feet, just like tying up a fish head and a dragon corpse; while at its smallest, it can shrink to several feet, turning it into a small and delicate fishing rod.
Swinging the golden fishing rod, Xu Dao was even more delighted. Although this was not the first time he had come into contact with such a magic weapon that could change things as he wished, the golden pillar was different. It was suspected to be an immortal fishing rod, but at least it was also a magic weapon, extremely strong and hard.
Now that he has this thing in his hand, Xu Dao is equivalent to having a weapon in his hand, and he will be able to get a lot of help when fighting with others in the future.
But this is what makes Xu Dao a little regretful.
He studied it several times and found that the golden fishing rod had no other magical properties besides being extremely hard and changing as expected. He didn't know if it was just like this, or if it was broken, or if his cultivation was not enough.
Thinking about it, Xu Dao couldn't help but touch his forehead.
A little snake-shaped twisted brand grew there, like his third eye.
After touching this brand, the brand's heart shimmered like a trance, and a yellow energy beat, and its light fell on the golden pillar, making the entire pillar flicker even more.
Xu Dao held the fishing rod in one hand and touched the brand with the other, and he suddenly understood in his heart.
"Sure enough, whether it is in the fairy garden or here, the reason why I can easily move the golden pillar and put it into my palm is because of this mark on my forehead."
This brand was given in advance by the Taoist masters, and it emitted yellow light and could also help Xu Dao receive the golden pillar magic weapon. It was probably a little help from the Taoist masters to the Taoist priests in the Taoist palace.
Xu Dao couldn't help but think of the "strategy of endless fire" mentioned by Taoist Master Yulong, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that this brand is related to the Taoist tradition of the Taoist Palace, and will it be possible to gather all the Taoist priests of Wu State in the future?"
He was full of speculations and distracting thoughts arose in his mind, but because he knew very little and was not clear about the word "Huang Tian" mentioned repeatedly by several Taoist masters, his thoughts were extinguished.
But no matter what, this mark has appeared on his forehead for many days. Xu Dao has sensed it thousands of times and found nothing wrong with it. It should be beneficial and harmless.
After Xu Dao put it down, he continued to study the golden fishing rod in his hand.
This object is now bare, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a fishing rod. It has no fishing line, is not flexible, is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and has distinct joints, but it does not look like a stick or a scepter.
Xu Dao held it in his hand, and it felt more like a simply polished spear, straight and rough.
He had returned to his human form, and while he was playing with this object in his hand, he suddenly felt that it did not fit the temperament of a person in his immortal way. After thinking about it, he felt that the shape of a fishing rod was more eye-catching.
Xu Dao's heart moved, and he flicked his sleeves, and the pill-shaped cuttlefish sword rolled out and landed in front of the fishing rod. He recalled the way the iron ropes were tied to the rod before, and his consciousness moved, and he immediately rubbed the cuttlefish sword.
The Cuttlefish Sword is made using the Taibai Western Gold Sword Pill method. It contains Xinjin and is quite flexible and can be shaped at will.
Xu Dao prepared to stretch it, turn it into a silk thread, tie it in circles, and tie it to the original hanging rope of the golden fishing rod.
However, after several experiments, he found that the texture of the cuttlefish sword was not enough to turn it into a thin and tough silk thread, so he had to imitate the original appearance of the golden fishing rod and use an iron rope as the fishing line.
A circle of thin and dense iron ropes is wrapped around the golden fishing rod like a snake. The black ball just happens to cover up the golden surface of the fishing rod.
Coupled with the fact that the cuttlefish sword is inherently stealthy, when the entire fishing rod fell into Xu Dao's hands, it suddenly became simple and unpretentious, with a restrained light and color.
But when he held this thing up, he felt even more joyful.
The golden fishing rod was too magical and eye-catching, and the rod was of too high a grade. Xu Dao could not store it in the inner world, nor could he store it in storage magic weapons such as earthworm flags. He could only hold it in his hand at any time.
It's fine when you're alone, but if others see it, it will definitely cause others to covet and be wary. The current appearance of restrained glory is just right, and it is also in line with Xu Dao's temperament.
He stroked the fishing rod, which was made of gold and iron but was as simple as black bamboo. His heart was full of joy, and the depression caused by the broken state of Wu completely disappeared:
"What a magic weapon, let me take care of you these past few days and turn you into my treasure."
Xu Dao laughed, then shook his sleeves and robe, and rushed towards the sea.
Now that he has found the golden pillar fishing rod and taken care of it, he should leave this uninhabited sea and meet the natives of the West Sea!
