Chapter 415, Encirclement
After leaving the cave entrance, Li Xiao did not immediately swim upstream, but instead dived deeper and then swam forward along the cliff. Because of this, he successfully avoided the sea tribes who came to besiege him, as well as the demonic beasts who searched everywhere.
When Li Xiao completely transformed the energy back, with his ability, the undercurrent in the water could already be perceived by him in advance to a certain extent. Moreover, after transforming energy, Li Xiao, even if he encounters an undercurrent, can stabilize his body and not be blown away.
Li Xiao swam forward for a day before swimming out of the trench. After that, Li Xiao found the right direction and swam towards the coastline. As Li Xiao expected, when he was about to swim to the coastline, it was already full of demonic beasts and a small number of sea tribes.
Not long after Li Xiao left the cave, all the Sea Clans and Demon Beasts in Jiangcheng and several cities along the route, whether they had already occupied the city, were attacking the city, or had failed Sea Clan hunting armies, retreated. At first, the demons and the heavenly demons thought that this sea clan's hunt was over early. But before they could rejoice, the spies in front reported that the retreating Sea Clan army had not completely withdrawn into the sea, but had all stayed on the continental shelf some distance from the coastline. Look at this posture as if to intercept something. For a while, news spread that something important had been stolen from the Sea Clan. It soon spread to several cities around Jiangcheng.
Immediately after that, the demons and heavenly demons in these cities began to guess what the sea clan had lost this time, and the results of the guesses were naturally varied, and of course, no one could really guess it. At the same time, various versions of their speculation about who made the shot also appeared. Most of them are tasks done by a certain demon commander or a group of demon generals, otherwise ordinary people would not dare to go to the Sea Clan to steal things. And it seems to be something very important to the Sea Clan.
In fact, if Li Xiao only took away part of the soul mother, the other party would not be so excited. However, Li Xiao took away all the soul mothers in the entire cave, and he didn't even leave a pot. Here are all the soul mothers within the main city where Feng Yibo is located, and the soul mothers of each city are issued by the city above them. If you lose all of them, you will have to apply to your superiors again, and in that case, you will be reprimanded.
Not only that, but at that time, in order to let them go all out to arrest Li Xiao, Feng Yibo also told the family that Li Xiao already knew that the soul mother simulated the soul did not need to absorb the soul, as well as the matter of the Hidden Spirit Stone Mine. That's what makes them so aggressive. After all, once Li Xiao returns to the demon clan and pokes these things out, then their family will definitely be severely punished, and even the destruction of the door is possible.
After all, as soon as Li Xiao said this, they almost lost an important means to deceive the people of the demon race. At that time, if the Sea Clan wanted to control more demons, it would have to rely on forcible capture. In this way, there will inevitably be a conflict with the Heavenly Demon Clan and the Demon Clan, which will make the relationship between the two parties, which has been stable, become tense again.
For such an important soul mother, Feng Yibo's family did not have any protective measures. The environment is very treacherous, and it is already a natural protective barrier in itself. At the entrance of the cave, they also set up a powerful protective sensing formation, which is difficult to enter without anyone to lead, and if you break hard, it will also trigger the alarm. At that time, the corresponding formation inside will be activated, and the people of the Feng family will also arrive quickly. It's a pity that this time it was Feng Yibo who personally brought Li Xiao in, so naturally the alarm and formation were not triggered.
After discovering that the Sea Clan army had blocked the coastline, Li Xiao did not rush to rely on his ability to sneak over, but chose to avoid them far away and swim forward along the blockade line. Soon, however, he rejoiced in how wise his alertness was.
He had been swimming forward for less than half an hour, and suddenly, a powerful divine consciousness quickly swept in his direction, and it was precisely him who was targeted. Although the other party was very well hidden, after all, he had not yet reached the realm of the god transformation stage, and he still could not escape Li Xiao's divine sense.
Seeing this, Li Xiao didn't say a word, immediately retracted his divine sense, and at the same time used his abilities with all his strength, and shot away in the direction of the deep sea. No sooner had he left the place than the divine consciousness arrived. That divine sense didn't find Li Xiao's figure, and quickly searched for hundreds of zhang around, but still couldn't find it. In the end, I could only happily give up.
At this time, in the direction where the divine consciousness came, the five mid-Yuan Infant Sea Clans crossed their knees in a strange formation. One of them, the strongest and youngest of them, sat in the middle, and the other four sat in each of his four directions. And the strangest thing is that on the head of the young sea tribe in the middle is an octopus-like magical beast, he only has four tentacles, and each tentacle is on the head of one of the primordial infancy sea tribesmen.
At this time, the young sea clan in the middle suddenly opened his eyes, frowning and looking puzzled. The other four people also opened their eyes at this time, and one of them asked, "What happened just now, did you find out?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "I sensed a contract fluctuation just now, but when my divine sense swept over, it disappeared. ”
"Disappeared?Did the other party find out?, so they quickly withdrew?" the other Sea Clan hurriedly asked.
The man shook his head and said, "When this formation senses the power of the contract, the other party will not notice it at all. And the strength of the divine consciousness that we have united, unless the other party is above the middle stage of the divine consciousness strength, it is impossible to discover it so long in advance. And I've just scanned the area around it, and I still don't find anything. I remember the message that said that the other party was just a mid-infancy monk. That's a bit weird. ”
Hearing him say this, another Sea Clan monk suddenly spoke: "Could it be that the other party still has accomplices, otherwise, how could it be possible to escape from the hands of so many tenth-level demonic beasts and four late-stage Yuan Infant cultivators, and kill them all." And it is said that the other party also knows the method of simulating the soul of the soul mother. Although Feng Yibo is arrogant, he should still understand this, and it is impossible for him to tell the truth of the matter without holding the other party's soul in his hands. In other words, the contract on that person's body has been terminated, and it is very likely that it is his accomplices who really made the move. ”
As soon as he said this, the others nodded their heads, thinking that this was the most likely. Then they looked at the young men one by one. The man looked down and pondered for a while, he also felt that what they said made sense, but he didn't know why, but his intuition told him. The other party probably didn't have any so-called foreign aid, but it was just for him to believe that a mid-Yuan Infant monk could defeat so many enemies who were one level higher than him at the same time with the strength of one person, and that was impossible. After much thought, the man finally agreed with them, and quickly sent a message to the guard points elsewhere in the line. Among them, it is important to note that the other party may also have accomplices.
Li Xiao naturally didn't know about their speculations, but he didn't know anything about how the other party found him. After all, after he transformed the energy, when he used the ability, it was so far away that even a late-stage cultivator could not sense it. But the other party can clearly know his specific location. This made him puzzled, and if he didn't solve this problem, he was afraid that he would only be able to bypass the entire line of defense. However, he didn't know how long this line of defense was, and although as long as he didn't enter the deep sea, he wouldn't have to worry about storms at sea, but he couldn't keep looking for it.
And now that the other party has roughly known his location, the other party is likely to use the method of casting a net to catch him. So Li Xiao needs to find a way to know how the other party knows his location, and how big the sensing range is. After thinking about it, Li Xiao decided to take a risk.
Li Xiao's guess was right, when the news of his discovery spread. Immediately, centered on the previous sensing point, an encirclement that had shrouded hundreds of miles was rapidly forming. Most of them are mid- and low-level magical beasts in the sea. Only at intervals there will be a few Sea Clans and some high-level Magical Beasts. It took less than half an hour to form such a wide encirclement. In half an hour, even a demon monk in the god transformation stage is unlikely to run that far.
There are many magical beasts in the sea, and any one of them may be the eyeliner of the sea tribe. Therefore, after coming out of the trench, Li Xiao has remained hidden. Staying in the ability state for a long time is not a small cost to him. Not long after moving forward again, Li Xiao had to stop to recover the energy in his body. Randomly found a cave formed by a coral reef with no demonic beasts at a distance, Li Xiao drilled into it, and then began to recover his energy. In a hurry, he had to use the spell of Gathering Energy. Therefore, when he cast the spell, the demonic aura within a hundred zhang of the surrounding sea quickly gathered towards him.
Such a big movement was naturally sensed by some of the surrounding demonic beasts. Soon the news reached the Sea Clan, and after learning that Li Xiao was in the encirclement, they quickly accelerated the speed of contraction, and some of the high-level demonic beasts and Sea Clan quickly rushed in the direction of Li Xiao. However, what they didn't know was that this was exactly what Li Xiao wanted.
When the energy ball on Li Xiao's head was completely absorbed by him, he hid his breath again and found a direction to sneak away.
