Turtle beasts are huge in stature. Although they don't have any particularly powerful offensive methods, their defense is second to none among low-level monsters thanks to the turtle shell on their back and the scales covering their body.
If you don't have a strong enough attack, it will be difficult to break through their defenses.
The sword light that Li Xuangang transformed into an Eight Spider Green Light Sword did not have any effect. It only left a white mark on the shell of the turtle beast.
The turtle beast that was attacked by Li Xuangang was obviously enraged. It turned around and raised its huge elephant legs to step towards Li Xuangang.
Li Xuangang jumped away and then summoned three identical Eight Spider Green Light Swords from his storage bag.
Under Li Xuangang's control, a total of four Eight Spider Green Light Swords kept flying in the air, attacking the turtle beast one after another.
Although the defense of the turtle beast is very strong, it is not impossible to break through.
Under Li Xuangang's continuous attacks like a violent storm, the turtle beast finally failed to resist.
After Li Xuangang accidentally cut the scales on his neck with an Eight Spider Green Light Sword, all the remaining attacks were focused on this wound.
So, the initially small wound began to be enlarged under the sword light of the four Eight Spiders Green Light Sword, and finally the first-level middle-grade turtle beast fell to the ground with a trace of unwillingness.
The heavy body smashed a slightly sunken pit into the moist earth.
After Li Xuangang got rid of the turtle beast, he ignored its body. The battle situation is still very chaotic. According to the idea of the seventh uncle Li Changzhi, the battle should be ended in the shortest possible time.
There was nothing surprising about Li Xuangang's battle with the turtle beast, and there was no danger to him. However, in order to break through the turtle beast's defense, it still consumed a lot of Li Xuangang's spiritual energy.
So after taking a Spring Dew Pill, he turned around and walked towards the other turtle beast. Four dark green Eight Spider Green Light Swords were suspended behind him, and the blades looked extremely sharp.
This is not so much a battle as a one-sided massacre.
Because the turtle beast's meager attack methods are really unable to cause any harm to this group of extremely vicious monks from the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.
The tribesmen summoned by Seventh Uncle Li Changzhi this time have all performed many missions in the Hengduan Mountains, and they have extremely rich experience in fighting monsters.
Therefore, for monsters like turtle beasts that are not good at fighting, destroying them is only a matter of time.
Blood flowed from the body of the turtle beast and soaked into the soil on the ground.
The small stream in the mountain stream gradually took on a reddish color.
The stream water was no longer clear, but gave off a faint smell of blood.
As the tortoise beasts fell one after another, the remaining tortoise beasts were also besieged by more and more monks from the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain. The besieged tortoise beasts fell faster.
Under such a vicious cycle, this turtle-like tribe was soon declared extinct.
At this time, only the leader of the turtle beast with astonishing defensive power was still holding on.
But under the siege of two foundation-building monks, Li Changzhi and Li Qinghuan, it had no way to escape and rescue the rest of the tribe.
Its head was raised high toward the sky, its white tusks shining whitely in the sunlight, and there were specks of blood on it.
The turtle leader let out a shrill roar, and then its huge body fell down. His body was covered with wounds from Li Changzhi's flying knives.
With the fall of the last turtle beast, this battle of genocide was declared over, but the challenge had just begun.
Li Changzhi quickly cleaned up the body of the turtle leader and collected all the useful materials on it.
Then he said to the Li clan members who were covered in blood:
"I will give you one stick of incense to collect what you can take away. After one stick of incense, all of you will leave here."
Hearing this, the Li clan members, who had just gone through a fierce battle, suppressed their exhaustion and began to collect the materials they needed from the turtle beast.
After Li Changzhi and Li Qinghuan looked at each other, they nodded to each other and walked towards the nest of this group of turtle-like beasts.
When the two of them dug through the thick weeds, what appeared in front of them were four nests made of small branches. And inside these four nests, there were nine white turtle eggs lying quietly.
Li Changzhi carefully knelt down, took out the cloth bag that he had prepared, and packed the nine baby-sized tortoise eggs in cloth bags. This was the purpose of gathering so many tribesmen to launch this operation.
It is extremely difficult for monks to tame a tortoise beast that has broken its shell. Only from hatching can the loyalty of the tortoise beast be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
This is also the reason why Li Changzhi previously issued an order to the tribe not to spare any of these turtle-like beasts.
By the time Li Changzhi and Li Qinghuan came out of the turtle beast's nest, many tribesmen had already finished cleaning up, and the entire mountain stream was filled with the mangled corpses of the turtle beast.
Li Xuangang first collected a full gourd of tortoise essence and blood, and then filled the space in the storage bag with tortoise corpses.
Li Xuangang's corpse refining is on the verge of breaking through the sixth level of Qi refining. After the breakthrough, the amount of demonic beast essence and blood required to cultivate this corpse will undoubtedly increase.
Although Li Xuangang had filled the Yin-Nagging Gourd, he didn't know how long the essence and blood of these turtle beasts could support his corpse-refining practice.
After Li Changzhi reappeared in front of everyone with the eggs of the turtle beast, he said:
"The strong bloody smell here will definitely attract other monsters. In order to avoid unnecessary entanglement, we will leave here immediately."
Then, under the leadership of seventh uncle Li Changzhi, everyone returned to the cave where they had stayed before.
Since all the tribesmen carried a strong smell of blood, they were more careful on their way back.
But fortunately, this area has been cleaned up by the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect before, so no monsters have returned within a radius of dozens of miles.
Li Xuangang and the others returned to their previous cave abode without any danger.
After arriving at the cave, Seventeenth Uncle Li Qingshui opened the cave's restrictions, and then many clan members sat down and began to take pills to restore their spiritual power.
Although there is no danger in this battle, it requires continuous spiritual power output, coupled with the mental tension along the way, so now they are on the verge of collapse.
Li Xuangang also sat down cross-legged, took out a Spring Dew Pill, swallowed it and began to refine the medicinal power in it.
Li Changzhi, who was in the corner of the cave, held a tortoise egg in his arms and kept stroking the egg inside with his hands through the cloth.
With a little joy, Li Changzhi handed all the eggs of the turtle beast to Li Qinghuan, and at the same time transmitted a message to him:
"After your spiritual power is restored, you can take the eggs of these tortoise beasts and escape from the Hengduan Mountains first. You don't need to wait for me when you get to Wujiangfang City, just go back to Taiqiu Mountain."
After thinking for a while, Li Changzhi continued to transmit:
"We have spent so much effort this time, and the family has also spent a lot of money. Qing Huan, you must treat this matter carefully."
Li Qinghuan also sent a message and replied:
"Uncle Qi, don't worry. Qing Huan guarantees that in one month, these nine turtle eggs will appear on the top of Taiqiu Mountain."
Li Changzhi smiled and nodded at him, then he also began to close his eyes and restore his spiritual power.
Half a day later, Li Qinghuan's spiritual power was almost restored, and after bidding farewell to his seventh uncle Li Changzhi, he took the lead in leaving the cave and turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
He will put the final touches on this operation.
Li Xuangang silently recovered his spiritual power, and then thought about how long the turtle beast essence and blood he collected in the Nayin Gourd could support his corpse-refining practice.
There was no doubt that this was a massacre of genocide and genocide, but Li Xuangang did not find anything surprising in this, nor did he have any so-called compassion.
This is nothing more than a competition for interests between monks and monsters, but this time it is their Li family who wins.
This world is, after all, a world of the weak and the strong.
Five days later, Li Xuangang stood on the streets of Wujiangfang City again. After bidding farewell to his seventh uncle Li Changzhi, he returned to his cave.
After opening the cave's restrictions, he took out the Sancai Separation Spirit Array.
After entering the Jieyuan space, Li Xuangang took out the bodies of the turtle beasts from the storage bags, and then piled them on an open space he designated.
Although using this method to increase the spiritual energy concentration in the world source space is bound to take a long time.
But fortunately, Li Xuangang is not in a hurry, as long as the concentration of spiritual energy in the boundary source space can support him to plant spiritual plants.
After arranging the corpses of these tortoise beasts, Li Xuangang went to take care of the yellow bud grass seedlings that had just broken ground in the spiritual field.
Not far from the spiritual field opened by Li Xuangang, there is also a medicinal garden he fenced, in which Zhu Dancao is grown.
It has been about eight years since he planted the Zhudan grass in the Jieyuan space, and he has harvested it once. Now the medicine garden is planted with the Zhudan grass that he replanted, with a total of ten plants.
As for the Zhu Dancao harvested by Li Xuangang before, he did not take it out of the realm source space, but stored it on a wooden shelf in the cave. When he prepares to break through to the second-level alchemist in the future, he will use these saved Zhudancao to practice.
.
After checking various conditions in the Jieyuan space and confirming that they were correct, Li Xuangang came out of it and put away the Jieyuan Pearl.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Li Xuangang began to think about his next training plan.
Since I have just broken through the eighth level of Qi refining, there is no chance for me to break through in a short period of time, so I can just practice step by step.
But because he wanted to cultivate the spiritual energy concentration in the world source space, Li Xuangang secretly thought: It seems that he has to violate the warning of his seventh uncle Li Changzhi and often run into the Hengduan Mountains.
Since Li Xuangang's secret was shady, he couldn't contact other tribesmen to act together.
Li Xuangang had no choice but to remind himself to be careful when moving in the Hengduan Mountains in the future.
In the next six months, in addition to regularly going to the Alchemy Pavilion of the Corpse Ghost Sect to refine alchemy, Li Xuangang spent most of his time practicing in the cave and entering the Hengduan Mountains to search for the bones of monsters left by other monks.
In order not to attract the attention of the other monks, Li Xuangang always walked towards the edge of the area that the other monks had developed in the Hengduan Mountains.
Although you won't encounter as many skeletons as other places, you can avoid encounters with other monks.
Moreover, Li Xuangang entered the Hengduan Mountains alone, so in order not to encounter high-level monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, Li Xuangang controlled himself to only move around the peripheral areas of the Hengduan Mountains.
Due to his frequent activities in the Hengduan Mountains, Li Xuangang collected many varieties of low-level spiritual herbs. Some of the mature ones were brought back to Wujiangfang City to be sold, while some of the immature larvae were transplanted into the Jieyuan space by him.
, but being on the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountains, the spiritual herbs Li Xuangang encountered were very common, and none reached the second level.
Therefore, the value of these spiritual herbs is limited, and most of the reasons why Li Xuangang planted them in the source space were just to satisfy his bad taste of being a spiritual planter.
half year later......
Li Xuangang, who had just finished his training in the cave, went to Wujiangfang City as usual after leaving the cave, preparing to enter the Hengduan Mountains to collect the bones of monsters.
However, entering the Hengduan Mountains this time was a little different from before.
