Chapter 42: Exploring the East China Sea, Revisiting the Hometown
Luo Yan flew to the east for a long time with his sword in order to find the island where the five elements' true veins could be refined.
Shi Liuli had never gone so deep into the East China Sea. Hearing from his father that the deeper the East China Sea went, the more powerful the various monsters in the water became, he couldn't help but feel a little more expectant and curious.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the two were attacked again.
The attacker was a giant squid, about three feet wide, with purple lines on a white background. He raised his hand and made a few rustling sounds, then a bunch of water arrows shot out, striking into the air and streaking with sword light.
Shi Liuli saw the attack from below, and just as he sacrificed the Jade Emperor Bell to defend himself, he was hugged by Luo Yan and rolled away quickly to the side.
Because the shape of the water arrow really resembles the second level of Qing Ping Sword's "Empty Mountain and New Rain Queen", I'm afraid it may not have the effect of breaking defenses.
Sure enough, the water arrow looked at the Jade Emperor Bell's shield as if it were nothing, and just penetrated directly without any hindrance.
Fortunately, Luo Yan urgently gave Miss Shi a hand, so that the water arrow did not penetrate her skull - instead, it exploded the hairpin in her hair, causing the loose hair to fall down like a waterfall.
Realizing that his favorite hairpin had been destroyed, Shi Liuli was almost furious. He screamed and took out the magic whip and smashed it down with all his strength!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the giant squid swung its body in an attempt to sink and escape.
As a result, the whip was faster, directly breaking two of its tentacles, and hitting its head, creating a huge bloody hole.
The giant squid first sank vertically, then slowly floated sideways. It was obviously dead.
Shi Liuli put down the sword light and said to Luo Yan:
"Junior brother, help me find out if there is any inner elixir in its body."
"Senior sister," Luo Yan said helplessly, "Only monsters at the transformation level can have inner elixirs."
The so-called transformation stage is what the monsters say, that is, transforming from a beast body into a human body, which corresponds to the golden elixir stage on the human monk side.
If the two of them encounter a transformed monster in the East China Sea, they will definitely run for their lives as soon as possible, and there will be no other choice.
"Really?" Shi Liuli was still a little skeptical, "But this squid is so powerful that it can even break through the defense of my Jade Emperor Bell. I guess my cultivation level will not be too far behind."
"That's natural." Luo Yan patiently explained that the squid's natal magical power should have a defense-breaking effect, so it could ignore the Jade Emperor Bell's defense and explode the hairpin on Miss Shi's head.
In terms of strength, it is almost at the lower end of the middle reaches of Huafu level, and is more fragile than monks of the same level.
"Is that so?" Shi Liuli was doubtful, and suddenly had an idea. He asked Luo Yan to help dismember the giant squid, get more fish, shrimps, crabs and shells, and then find a nearby island for barbecue.
After listening to Miss Shi's request, Luo Yan was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
What kind of unique brain circuit does it take to be able to plan to explore uninhabited ruins on the front foot, but change the mind on killing seafood for a feast?
It's just that this eldest lady has always been spoiled. If you go against her just to persuade her, she will definitely have a bad temper.
"Okay, then I'll look for the island first." Luo Yan coaxed her.
He pulled out the flying sword, cut the squid into multiple pieces, and put them into the storage bag.
Then he took Miss Shi along the previous route, and finally arrived at the island where the Five Elements Divine Light was originally practiced.
As soon as he arrived over the island, Shi Liuli immediately became interested.
Probably because this small island has beautiful mountains and rivers, lush jungles, and fine-textured beaches, it meets the requirements of a seaside resort in every aspect.
It was mainly because someone restored the island after attaining the great power of divine light, and at the same time harmonized the spiritual energy of the five elements, that the place became full of vitality.
She landed here, took off her shoes and socks, and played in the water on the beach. Luo Yan used his sword to go to the nearby sea, quietly used the Qingping Sword to perform Taoist techniques, and hit many fish and shrimps.
Then I cut down some more trees, set up a grill on the beach, and got busy.
Miss Shi was born in the East China Sea, so she was already used to seeing ocean beaches. It was just her first time entering an uninhabited island in the depths of the East China Sea. The unfamiliar environment was a bit novel for a while.
It didn't take long for her to get tired of playing, so she came over to guard the grill again, using the flying sword to poke the fish and shellfish on it, and ate each one when it was cooked, her mouth was full of oil, her eyebrows were dancing, and she was very happy.
Luo Yan saw such a gluttonous expression on her face, so he also tried to eat some grilled fish.
Well, the meat of the sea fish here is indeed more plump, delicate, tender and juicy.
I guess it has something to do with the higher level of the deep sea monsters here, but I don't know what the root cause is.
After eating the seafood barbecue, both of them felt full and satisfied.
Although people who are cultivating immortals have already gone without food and do not need to eat, they can still satisfy their appetites from time to time without losing the happiness of the mortal world.
After refining the turbid energy in his belly, Luo Yan stood up and thought he could go back now, right?
Then I heard Miss Shi announcing:
"This small island will belong to me from now on. Junior brother, how about we live in a cottage here and do some quiet cultivation for a few days?"
Luo Yan almost spit out blood when he heard this.
It’s just a matter of leaving without saying goodbye, and staying out for a few days. Elder Shi Ding is not allowed to skin me after I return!
"Senior sister, isn't this bad? If Master finds out..."
"You don't understand this." Shi Liuli said seductively, "If we go back immediately, my father will definitely be furious and hold us accountable for leaving the sect without reason and destroying the sect's property."
"If I go back after a day, my father will become worried, thinking that as long as we can return safely, all the previous mistakes will be wiped out."
"If we go back after two days, my father will pray in various ways and swear to give us more magic weapons and spiritual weapons, just asking that we can go back alive."
Luo Yan was stunned and stunned.
Good guy! Is this the legendary saying "a rich man breeds a filial daughter"?
But this also shows that Miss Shi is not low in IQ, at least she has the emotional intelligence to figure out human nature.
The reason why he usually behaves stupidly is because he has too few interactions and is not familiar with worldly affairs.
The two of them packed up the barbecue stall. Miss Shi put on her shoes and socks and planned to go for a walk in the woods, so Luo Yan naturally had to accompany her.
The two of them walked along the road in the woods and walked until they reached the entrance to the stone room where Luo Yan practiced.
"Junior brother, look! There is a crevice in the rock!" Miss Shi exclaimed in a fuss, "Is there a secret realm inside?"
If there really is a secret realm, I will call Miss Shi the God of Creation!
Luo Yan mentally cursed, but said:
"Indeed...Looking at the outline of this rock crevice, it doesn't look like it was naturally formed. Maybe there really is a cave underneath, maybe."
"Do you think so too?" Shi Liuli thought about it, and then he sacrificed the divine whip and hit it directly on the rock crevice.
The passage that was originally blocked due to the collapse of the rock wall due to Luo Yan's divine light was quickly cleared.
"Sure enough, there are ruins!" Miss Shi finally saw the artificial stone steps at the bottom of the passage. She immediately became excited, clapped her hands and said with a smile, "If what I expected is correct, there must be immortals living here!"
Luo Yan:………………
There is no immortal, but there is one great master who died.
Just when he was about to find a reason to refuse, Shi Liuli couldn't help but grabbed his hand and dragged him into the rock crevice.
