The forces of both sides have reached a balance. The Seven Star Alliance is unable to destroy the Blood Shark Bandits, and the Blood Shark Bandits are unable to compete with the Seven Star Alliance for the big island.
This situation has lasted for more than two thousand years. At present, neither side has the intention to win over the other side in one fell swoop. Even if there is a conflict, it is only a small fight.
Wang Daoyuan also likes this situation very much. If both parties have nothing to do and engage in a big deal, the casual cultivator will have almost no place to stay and can only become a scapegoat between the two major forces.
He can no longer go out as a casual cultivator and can only find a backer.
Even a relatively peripheral disciple of a big force is better than being a scapegoat.
But if you take refuge in some forces, your basic freedom will be lost, and your secrets will be easily exposed.
As long as the two sides maintain a basic state of peace, there is no need for him to find a backer.
One month has passed quickly, and Wang Daoyuan is transforming his sword cultivation skills in his newly opened cave.
I'm just hanging out in this demon hunting team to get information, there's no need to reveal my strength.
The commonly used sword cultivation spells before, Sword Shadow Divine Light Technique and Demon-Slaying Sword were too strong.
Moreover, both of them are related to ancient magic, so maybe someone here can recognize them.
The power of Ten Thousand Sword Jue is so weak that it is difficult to deal with monks of the same level.
It's even more difficult to deal with those rough-skinned monsters.
The power of Sealing Heaven Sword Prison is quite good, but once it is taken action, the monster becomes a dumpling filling.
He has already mastered the art of sword energy transformation, so it is not difficult to create his own sword cultivation spell.
Wang Daoyuan combined the sword shadow divine light technique with the Sealing Heaven Sword Prison to create a spell that could cast thirty-six sword shadows at the same time.
In this way, when the Heaven Sealing Sword Prison is used again, the power will be greatly increased.
He began to ponder this spell a long time ago.
I also studied it for a while when I was drifting at sea.
Now it has taken a prototype. The thirty-six sword shadows can be used to defend yourself, attack the enemy, and can also be used to cast the Heaven Sealing Sword Prison.
When a single sword shadow is taken out, its power is less than 10% of that of a full-strength strike of the White Tiger Blade, and it is still far worse than the sword shadow divine light technique.
However, it is still easy to deal with monks of the same level.
During this time, he was perfecting this spell.
Uncle Zhong's voice came from outside the cave: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, it's time to set off."
Wang Daoyuan put away the things in the cave, stood up and walked out.
There are six people in this demon hunting team including him. In addition to the three people he already knows, there are also two late-stage Jindan monks named Ding Ming and Jiang Yi.
The two men's combat power is not very good, they mainly play a supporting role.
Ding Ming is an array master, and Jiang Yi is an alchemist, and they also have several quite powerful healing spells.
At the same time, Jiang Yi was also a poison cultivator and refined many poisons to lure monsters.
Of course, there are many poisons that can poison monsters, but poisoned monsters are not easy to sell.
You must be quick when hunting monsters. Once there is a stalemate, it will be troublesome whether it attracts other monsters or wandering cultivators.
If you can set up a formation to kill monsters, it will naturally be much easier, and it will be easier to kill them with one strike.
These two people are not very old, and there are no obvious signs of aging on their bodies. They are only about four hundred years old at most.
As casual cultivators, they can achieve such a level of cultivation before they are four hundred years old. These two people are quite talented.
The division of labor in the team is relatively clear. Liang Feng follows the path of body training and his body is extremely strong.
When encountering a monster that resists fiercely, he can be used as a human shield to resist the monster head-on.
Uncle Zhong and Fairy Xuan Bing are relatively strong and serve as the main attackers.
There used to be a monk who was good at escaping and hiding. His main task was to search for traces of monsters.
Not long ago, he was destroyed by a monster, and Wang Daoyuan took his place.
Wang Daoyuan, Ding Ming, and Jiang Yi got to know each other for a while. Uncle Zhong took out a third-level flying boat and said, "Everyone, get on the boat. The Black Shark Reef is more than 10,000 miles away from here. It would take too much spiritual power to fly there directly."
This flying boat is more than five feet long and is extremely spacious for six people.
Wang Daoyuan was not familiar with anyone and didn't say anything along the way.
The speed of the flying boat was not slow, about 6,000 miles per hour, and it soon arrived at Black Shark Reef.
This is a coral island. The reef is quite large, with a diameter of more than a thousand miles, and the part exposed to the sea is not very large.
Moreover, it is still in this piece and that piece, not as a whole.
Wherever there are coral reefs, there are naturally many lower-order fish.
These fishes have attracted a large number of monsters to come to look for food. For monsters, devouring spiritual objects is still an important part of cultivation.
Wang Daoyuan scanned the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness and found many first- and second-level spiritual fish.
There are no other human monk activities on the entire Black Shark Reef.
The flying boat landed on the largest reef, which was more than two miles in diameter and had some low-level vegetation growing on it. It could also be considered an island.
Uncle Zhong said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, it's up to you to detect where there are traces of monsters."
Without saying a word, Wang Daoyuan released more than 300 second-level high-grade soul-chasing bees, spreading around to look for traces of the monsters.
After more than an hour, most of the soul-chasing bees returned to this place, and those who didn't come back probably couldn't come back.
The soul-chasing bees that came back have also explored the situation within two thousand miles nearby.
Wang Daoyuan planted ten acres of demon soul grass in the spirit bead space to unlock spiritual intelligence for spirit beasts and soul-chasing bees.
These soul-chasing bees also often drink the nectar of the Demonic Soul Grass, and their spiritual intelligence has improved slightly, and they can now communicate with Wang Daoyuan more clearly.
He said to everyone: "Two thousand miles due east of us, there are more than ten silver-gray sharks besieging a school of fish.
More than a thousand miles to the northwest, there are five whale-like monsters with long baleen, searching for prey.
More than five hundred miles due west, there are two black sharks, chasing several monster beasts that look like seals, and have now entered the reef.
The level of the Soul Chaser Bee is too low, and I dare not get too close to detect the level of the monster."
A satisfied smile appeared on Uncle Zhong's face: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this spirit bee is really powerful, he can actually investigate so carefully.
It is enough to know the general appearance and type. We often hunt monsters here. As long as we know the general appearance of the monster, we can guess what kind of monster it is. The grade is not a problem.
The one due east should be the silver-scaled shark, the one due northwest should be the baleen whale, and the one due west should be the jade-fin shark.
Only a few of these jade-fin sharks can grow to the fifth level, and most of them stay at the upper level of the fourth level.
His fish skin is extremely tough and is an excellent material for refining soft armor.
Shark's fin is also one of the most delicacies in the Seven Stars Sea, and its teeth are also excellent materials for refining weapons.
With our strength, we can still capture the two jade-fin sharks.
Ding Ming, start setting up your formation.
Jiang Yi, the job of luring the jade-fin shark will be left to you."
Fairy Xuan Bing also said: "If this jade-fin shark is an adult, its strength should be equivalent to a second-rate golden elixir.
Please help Daoyou Zhou and Liang Feng to hold down one end first, and Uncle Zhong and I will kill the other end as soon as possible.
If time permits, take down both ends.
If time doesn’t allow, then we’ll stop as soon as possible.”
Wang Daoyuan naturally had no objection. Even the fifth-order jade-fin shark could deal with it.
Jiang Yi took out a jade gourd, poured a drop of dark red liquid from the jade gourd, and dropped it into the sea water to the west of the reef.
This liquid exudes a strong smell of blood, which is extremely attractive to monsters such as sharks that are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.
Ding Ming also took out the formation disk and arranged the formation on the nearby coral reef.
Wang Daoyuan released the soul-chasing bees and continued to explore the movements of the monsters.
More than a hundred breaths passed, and the two jade-fin sharks from the west quickly swam towards us.
Ding Ming's movements were extremely fast. It only took him less than two hundred breaths to arrange all the formation plates and install high-grade spiritual stones.
Everyone hid in the vegetation, waiting for the jade-fin shark to enter the formation.
In less than half a cup of tea, two jade-fin sharks, as black as inky jade, rushed towards us from the west.
