Chapter 63: The Hunt Begins
Li Youcai and Yang Yuhuan used their divine sense to search up and down for a long time, but they still didn't see the reef in the mission description.
There was no way, Li Youcai, the handicap party, worked on his phone for a long time, and finally found the option to turn a two-dimensional map into a three-dimensional map.
In the current state of the map, they found that they were still some distance from the reef, but the distance was vertical.
Li Youcai took Yang Yuhuan and swam down for about ten minutes, and finally saw the so-called reef.
It is said to be a reef, but in fact, this stone is not much smaller than the big stone ball where Dawn City was located before.
And the terrain here is much more complex than that of Dawn City, with strange rocks and caves everywhere.
In the crevices and caves of the rocks, you can often see all kinds of dark shadows.
The lights shone through, but there was nothing.
Li Youcai and Yang Yuhuan are not ordinary people, but they still feel some sense of crisis here.
But they decided to go ahead with the mission.
It's just that they are careful, only operating on the periphery of the reef and never going deep into the interior of the reef.
According to Mao Jieke, the inside of this reef is like a labyrinth, although the strongest monster is only at the silver (foundation building) level, but once it gets lost, it may fall into a desperate situation without supplies, so most of the hunters are active on the periphery.
The hunt began, and Li Youcai's divine sense was able to capture that there was some life in some stone crevices.
On closer inspection, these are the anemones mentioned in the mission.
These giant anemones possess terrifying paralyzing toxins, their tentacles can easily capture human-sized life, then inject the toxin into their prey, and then drag it into their stomachs and intestines to digest it.
In the event of an attack, they will quickly duck into a crack in the rock, making it difficult to damage them unless the whole stone is broken.
The stones that can survive the Sea of Freedom are so hard that ordinary silver (tsuki) warriors can't break them, and even gold (Jindan) warriors have to work hard, so it's too inefficient to break stones to catch sea anemones.
Moreover, the vitality of the sea anemone is tenacious, that is, it is cut into ten sections and eight sections, and each section can also grow into a new sea anemone, so ordinary methods are not suitable for hunting sea anemones.
As for the method of catching sea anemones with high efficiency, Mao Jieke also told Li Youcai.
In fact, it is very simple, it is to use the attributes such as electricity, fire or ice to attack, kill it directly, and then you can easily dig it out of the stone crevice.
After all, the crevice in the stone where the anemone is located, although it is slender, is for its natural enemies.
And as long as humans have the right tools, it is still easy to dig out sea anemones, provided that they are dead sea anemones.
Li Youcai and Yang Yuhuan do not have the ability to discharge, but Li Youcai's cold can be reversed to create high temperatures.
So at that moment, Li Youcai first approached those sea anemones to attract them to attack him.
Although the anemone paralysis toxin is very strong, it is only a small matter to Li Youcai, and he is also a body refining cultivator in the Jindan stage.
And these anemones are just equivalent to cultivators in the Divine Cultivation Period, and their venom can't hurt Li Youcai.
Take advantage of the opportunity for the anemone to hold itself with its tentacles and pull itself into the esophagus. Li Youcai reversed the cold on a large scale, raising the temperature of the nearby water to near boiling.
Sure enough, the anemone was easily dealt with. Look at 1 Mao 2 Lines 3 Chinese Net Then Yang Yuhuan used the method of the imperial sword, controlled the tools he bought before, and dug out the turtle's flesh from that stone crack.
The couple's first hunt was very successful, and the only fly in the ointment was that the anemones were cooked, and it was estimated that they would not be able to hand them in after they went back, so Li Youcai decided to freeze all the next anemones to death and no longer heat them.
Then Li Youcai was in charge of killing, and Yang Yuhuan was in charge of digging, and started a non-stop hunt.
It's a workout for both of them, an exercise in the control of energy details.
Especially Yang Yuhuan, now that the spiritual energy in this world is thin, she must be careful every time she uses her spiritual power, always paying attention to her remaining spiritual power, and at the same time requiring herself to make the best use of every power and reduce redundant movements as much as possible.
As for Li Youcai, he understood why Guang Chengzi said that this place was suitable for him to cultivate.
In fact, when he was in the West Sea Dragon Palace before, the Dragon King of the West Sea did not misunderstand Li Youcai's identity as the water tribe, he was indeed born with a strong ability to control water, and he could get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating in a place with sufficient water vapor, which was not weaker than the dragon clan.
And there is a lot of water vapor here, which is very compatible with his cloud body.
And another point is also extremely important, that is, the lives here are basically cultivated in the flesh, which makes them all have an extremely large amount of qi and blood power in their bodies, which is precisely the best way to collect energy in the foodie book, even if these sea anemones have to be kept to go back to deliver the task, but each sea anemone will still be absorbed by Li Youcai into one or two percent of qi and blood.
Under the combination of the two, this sea of freedom is really a treasure land for him to level up.
The husband and wife shouted that while cooperating with the digging of Haikui, they often spread their senses to observe the surroundings, because in this vicinity, there was a faint sense of crisis threatening the two of them.
Soon, a long black shadow of the same color as the rock slowly swam over.
It was very careful, as long as Li Youcai or Yang Yuhuan's divine sense came into contact with it, it would immediately wander away.
It is supposed to have evolved the senses that can feel the divine sense.
Li Youcai had already discovered it, it should be a sea snake, one of their prey.
Obviously, this sea snake also regarded Li Youcai and Yang Yuhuan as prey, but the problem was that it was too careful and didn't give Li Youcai a chance at all.
It didn't take long for the anemones to collect a lot. But the sea serpent was still reluctant to approach the two of them.
Rushing to chase after it, there is a fear of going deep into the reef and getting lost.
So Li Youcai and Yang Yuhuan agreed on a strategy.
Once again, they launched a catch on the anemone, but this time they seemed to underestimate their opponents.
Li Youcai's body was paralyzed and he couldn't move. He was pulled by the anemone into the depths of the crack in the stone
Yang Yuhuan was so shocked that he didn't care about observing the surroundings, took out his flying sword and began to attack the sea anemone.
The sea snake that had been wandering nearby seemed to have found an opportunity, and it quickly swam towards the unsuspecting Yang Yuhuan.
At this time, Li Youcai, who should have been paralyzed and couldn't move, suddenly turned around and aimed his finger at the sea snake.
A ray of light shot out of his finger and hit the long black shadow, nailing it to the reef.
Seeing the successful blow, Yang Yuhuan and Li Youcai cheered, and they finally hunted a sea snake.
To be honest, this plan is quite risky, although Yang Yuhuan has a lot of talisman magic weapons on his body, but the venom of the sea snake is not a joke, as long as it touches a little, it may be difficult to get out of Yang Yuhuan's physical cultivation.
But fortunately, this sea snake didn't know that Li Youcai's strongest perception ability was not his divine sense, but his five senses, just in terms of hearing, even in this dark environment, he could easily understand the surrounding situation, so avoiding divine consciousness could not let it hide itself.
The couple went on a hunt. It's just that gradually, the two of them felt that something was wrong.
First of all, there are fewer and fewer lives around, and since there are sea anemones and sea snakes living here, there is naturally a whole chain of organisms.
And now, as they hunt, the two slowly make their way around the reef, and they find that there is less and less life around them.
And the previous sense of crisis once again lingered in the hearts of the two.
Just when the sense of crisis between the two became stronger and stronger, Mao Jieke suddenly sent a message.
The message said that a new monster appeared on the reef where Li Youcai and Yang Yuhuan were located this morning, and this monster attacked the team that came to collect ingredients, and only a few people escaped.
They didn't see the monster clearly, only that it was a huge black shadow.
This monster lost more than half of the entire team with a single charge, and the remaining few masters met it, but all of them died and none of them survived. There were only a few members left who were of average strength, but had a decent ability to escape, and successfully escaped back to Dawning City.
It's now off-limits, as the team has a Diamond master.
After seeing the information, Li Youcai was taken aback, the diamond-level master is equivalent to the Yuanying Monk, and he is just a golden pill, if the other party can really kill the Yuanying master in seconds, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for him to be here.
Li Youcai immediately decided to flee quickly with Yang Yuhuan, but it seemed to be a little late at this time.
Li Youcai suddenly felt that the hairs on his whole body stood on end, as if something extremely terrifying was staring at them.
He didn't think much about it, and immediately turned into a swordfish and left quickly with Yang Yuhuan.
But even so, there was still a black shadow that quickly attacked Li Youcai from the side.
The speed of this dark shadow is not too fast, but it has a positive coverage. If Li Yongcai continues to flee in this direction, he will definitely collide.
In desperation, he could only turn, and then found that there was a dark shadow in front of him, and he could only continue to dodge.
But no matter how he dodged, there would always be a dark shadow waiting in his direction, and every dark shadow was huge.
Li Youcai shook his mobile phone for a moment, and finally saw that the black shadow waiting for him turned out to be a snake head.
It turned out to be a nest of giant snakes attacking him.
Li Youcai rushed left and right, shuttling back and forth in the water.
In fact, if he didn't take Yang Yu with him, he would still be able to leave here with his ability to turn water, but in that case, Yang Yuhuan would definitely explain here.
With the constant dodging, Li Youcai inevitably collided with the other party twice.
As a result, he found that the other party was not the imaginary Yuanying cultivator at all.
This group of basilisks has the strongest physical strength, but at most it is the Jindan Great Perfection level.
Although there are still some doubts, since the other party is not invincible, he is relieved.
The other party didn't want him to escape, so he beat him.
Li Youcai suddenly stopped swimming and turned into a huge octopus.
He protected Yang Yuhuan with one wrist and foot, and the rest of the wrist and foot fought with the snakes.
The octopus he incarnated was huge enough to resemble the legendary Norse monster Kraken.
There were a lot of snakeheads around, but Li Youcai still made a crack and sent Yang Yuhuan out.
Yang Yuhuan, who left the encirclement, immediately took out the flying sword and began to support, and at the same time, she also released some talisman magic weapons in case of accidents, such as the spirit rune given to him by the Antarctic Immortal Weng, and the jade pendant given to her by Li Youcai, these magic weapons combined are enough to resist the blow of an ordinary Yuan Infant Monk.
Although Yang Yuhuan's cultivation is only in the cultivation period, the quality of her flying sword is high enough, she can't break the snake skin of those giant snakes, but it is enough to hurt their eyes, so she can still cause a lot of trouble to the giant snakes.
As for Li Youcai, although the incarnated octopus was bitten off several wrists and feet. But now that Yang Yuhuan is safe, he has no scruples.
He directly turned into a giant and fought against the snakes in front of him.
After a while, he realized that this was not a group of snakes at all. It's a legendary troll, the Hydra.
Of course, it doesn't have the ability to cut off one head and regenerate two heads like the legendary Hydra Ancestor.
But even so, it is too much to deal with, after all, the other party has nine heads, and each head has a strong bite force.
Even if Li Youcai was able to unload the power of the attack on his body, the fangs in those snakes' mouths could still destroy his skin, and the other party's teeth contained snake venom.
Although Li Youcai's physical body is strong, these poisons can't help him for a while, but the poison accumulates in his body, which will eventually affect his movements.
In fact, Li Youcai had already poisoned the other party when he was bitten, but it was obvious that the other party was also a master of playing drugs, and it was impossible to be poisoned so easily.
This is still Yang Yuhuan's assistance from the side, so that this hydra can't play freely, if it is allowed to exert its full strength, Li Youcai will only have to run away.
In fact, this hydra is also very depressed, it obviously injected its venom into the body of the guy in front of him, but it seems to have no effect, and it can't hit him with its head, and the little mosquito behind it is always harassing itself.
The hydra wanted to cross Li Youcai several times and attack Yang Yuhuan, but was blocked by Li Youcai.
If the stalemate continues, even if Li Youcai and they can win, they will have to pay a lot of price.
Knowing that nothing could be done, Li Youcai turned his head and said to Yang Yuhuan: "You withdraw first, I'll go over in a while, don't worry about me." ”
Yang Yuhuan knew that she was just a burden, so she could only leave her husband here first and retreat first.
Retracting the flying sword, she turned and left, and with the speed of the sword of the cultivator of the Divine Cultivation Period, she soon ran away.
Li Youcai held on for a while, feeling that Yang Yuhuan had also opened up enough distance, he turned into a stream of water and slowly floated away.
The physical strength of the hydra is also the Jindan Great Perfection, so there is no way to deal with the water flow that Li Youcai transformed.
Hydra wanted to chase Yang Yuhuan, but at this time Yang Yuhuan had already run away, and she sprinkled some medicinal powder before leaving, so that Hydra could not track it through her sense of smell.
It frantically attacked the surroundings, venting, causing a lot of nearby rocks to shatter, and after venting, it returned to the depths of the reef.
After Li Youcai left a distance, he turned back into a human body and took out his mobile phone to contact Yang Yuhuan.
By locating the two people successfully reconciled, there were no accidents during this period.
Both of them are feeling a little tired now, so they decide to withdraw to the dawn first to get things in order.
