Chapter 6 The Trench
…
The Xunyang River is a section of the moat - this section that flows through Jiangzhou.
This moat, originating from the "roof of the world" Dangla Mountain, has been flowing east into the sea, with a total length of several million kilometers.
In this moat, there are not only a huge number of first-order demon beasts, but also second- and third-order demon beasts, and there are even legends that there are fourth- and fifth-order transformation demons among them.
Such a moat, naturally, is not something that humans can easily leap over, even if it is to take the best flying machine, because it is impossible to say at any moment that a big demon will jump out of the water and swallow the flying machine in one gulp.
But—
Although this moat is dangerous and difficult to jump, after countless generations of exploration and research, human beings have still found some waters that can cross the moat.
Some of these waters are not inhabited by demon beasts, some are the demon beasts that live in them have a gentle temperament and do not take the initiative to attack humans, and some are because the local humans have reached some tacit understanding with the demon beasts in that water, and so on......
These waters, without exception, are very difficult to find unless humans who have lived there for a long time, after all, the situation of the waters is always changing, and it is impossible to perceive such changes without dealing with them for a long time.
Thus, the profession of the captain was born, which led people to cross the moat.
When Li Shou was a teenager, he began to work as a captain in the Xunyang River to lead people across the moat.
Two years later, Li Shou began to help people run boats to engage in transportation on the Xunyang River.
Later, Li Shou became bigger and bigger, and at the age of twenty-one, he monopolized the transportation on the Xunyang River and became one of the three tyrants of Jieyang.
Therefore, Li Shou is very familiar with the moat, especially the Xunyang River.
But even if Li Shou was so familiar with the Xunyang River, it would be extremely difficult to catch a second-order demon beast in the Xunyang River and refine a new demon beast.
First of all, there are not as many demon beasts above the second order as there are demon beasts above the first order - according to incomplete statistics, there are only 1,800 demon beasts above the second order in the entire Xunyang River section.
Secondly, although Li Shou has many means, he was lucky to open the genetic lock not long ago, and it is extremely rare to be able to kill the enemy in a larger realm, but to put it bluntly, Li Shou is only a first-order in the end, and this strength is really not enough in the moat.
Again, not only human beings are groping and summarizing, but also demon beasts with wisdom are also constantly groping and summarizing (you can also use the theory of evolution to explain that most of the demon beasts that do not change have drowned in the long river of history, or even extinct), and now, most of the demon beasts are learning that humans live in groups, or even mixed, in this case, not to mention Li Shou, there are only three of them, even if the dynasty sends an army of thousands of people, they may not be able to please it.
Secondly, the difficulty of capturing and practicing demon beasts is different from killing demon beasts - killing demon beasts, as long as you kill them, you don't need to think about the means. And in order to be able to refine the best demon beasts, the demon beasts that practice the demon beasts should be alive, and the worst should try to ensure their integrity.
Therefore, if Li Shou wants to catch a second-order demon beast from the Xunyang River to practice a new demon beast, he really has to rely on luck.
……
The waves silently drowned the night deep into the corner of the sky.
Li Shou, Tong Jin, and Tong Hui entered the Xunyang River under the cover of night, and then quietly dived into a water area where second-order demon beasts often haunted them.
Here, the trio found a huge reef and jumped on.
Finding a suitable place, Li Shouzhen and Zheng Zhi took out a small piece of blue-gray incense with the length of their index finger, and rubbed out a small pinch of flame to light it.
Li Shou fixed this piece of incense on the reef, planted a five-pole array flag around the incense and laid a defensive array, hesitated for a moment, and Li Shou installed a miniature reactor and a set of micro-launchers around the incense.
After doing all this, the three of them quickly evacuated the reef, and then hid behind another reef in the distance and waited quietly.
The small piece of incense that Li Shou had just lit was the famous demon seduction incense.
It is practiced with a thousand-year-old demon decoy grass and several precious accessories, its incense can make demon beasts enter the illusion that the source of the incense has what they most desire to get to summon them, the lower the level of the demon beast, the more difficult it is to resist this temptation, legend, even the fourth-order transformation demon beast will be affected by it.
But—
Because the main material of the demon lure incense is the extremely rare thousand-year-old demon lure grass, and the auxiliary materials are all expensive, so that this demon lure incense is outrageously expensive, only the small section that Li Shou just lit costs nearly 20,000 spirit coins, and it is still priceless.
But then again, there is a reason why this seductive incense is expensive.
After a while, the roar of a demon beast could be heard in the distance—obviously, there were already demon beasts attracted by the lure incense.
The roar is getting louder and louder.
Immediately afterward, several waves of water rushed towards the Temptation Incense.
Seeing this, Li Shoucai instructed Tong Jin and Tong Hui: "You guys go and prepare." ”
While saying this, Li Shou also took out his old-fashioned imperial three-style battle suit, and then put it on himself one by one.
Tong Jin and Tong Hui were very puzzled why Li Shou insisted on wearing a battle suit?
Be.
The suit is also the crystallization of human wisdom, it can enhance the attack and defense capabilities of human beings, and then increase the combat power of human beings, and it has even made great contributions to the establishment of the dynasty.
But who wears this jersey too?
It is true that ordinary humans can greatly increase their combat power by wearing battle suits, but for cultivators, the limitations of ordinary battle suits are greater or even far greater than their increased combat power.
Take the imperial three-style battle suit worn by Li Shou as an example.
Li Shou, who wore the heavy Imperial Three-Style Battle Suit and greatly limited his mobility, in the eyes of Tong Jin and Tong Hui, was completely their target, and with the pitiful defensive power of the Imperial Three-Style Suit, he would have to fall apart if he couldn't withstand a few attacks from them, as for the weapons carried by the Imperial Three-Style Suit, not to mention that he couldn't fight the extremely fast Tong Jin and Tong Retreat, even if he could hit Tong Jin and Tong Retreat, that little damage could not threaten Tong Jin and Tong Retreat.
Therefore, in the eyes of Tong Jin and Tong Hui, Li Shoushi should not wear a battle suit, at least not an old antique set of Imperial Three Styles.
Of course, Li Shou's suit cannot be completely denied, after all, Li Shou's main weapon has always been the demon bolt, and if there is a demon bolt, the lack of mobility faced by wearing the suit can be ignored, on the contrary, the weapon provided by the suit can increase some means of attack, and the defense of the suit can add a layer of protection.
But the problem is that Li Shou no longer has a demon dragon, so there is no need to wear the imperial three-style suit anymore.
However, Li Shou didn't seem to think that there was no need for this at all, and he was still very persistent in putting on his imperial three-style suit.
This made Tong Jin and Tong Wei puzzled.
With this deep incomprehension, Tong Jin and Tong Hui went to ambush.
Before long, several demon beasts approached the reef where the demon incense was located.
Just when the fastest swimming demon beast jumped towards the reef, the five-pole array flag that Li Shou had planted in advance suddenly exploded into a five-pole flag!
Immediately afterwards, the five-pole flag began to shake regularly, and a multicolored light mask immediately enveloped the demon incense and the reef where the demon incense was located.
The jumping demon beast hit the multicolored light mask headlong!
Immediately, it was like hitting an iron plate, and it was bounced back with a "whoosh"!
How could this demon beast with red eyes be willing to be blocked by the multicolored light mask? As soon as it fell into the water, it turned around and rushed back, and began to attack the multicolored light mask like crazy!
But no matter how this demon beast attacked, it couldn't help the multicolored light mask, and it was firmly blocked out by the multicolored light mask.
The demon beasts gathered more and more, and after a while, more than a dozen first-order demon beasts attacked like crazy around the colorful light mask.
The multicolored light mask also finally began to flicker - it seems that the ants bite the elephant to death, and given enough time for these first-order demon beasts, they should also be able to shatter the multicolored light mask.
Although these first-order demon beasts had already threatened the protective array under Li Shoubu, Li Shou still hid steadily behind the reef and waited for the target he wanted to wait for to appear.
……
How long can the seductive incense with a long index finger burn?
In less than half an hour, two-thirds of this lure demon incense had been burned, and at the same time, dozens of first-order demon beasts had gathered outside the multicolored light cover, and the second-order demon beasts such as Li Shouxiang had never been traced.
Li Shou's heart began to sink - for this capture, Li Shou invested thirty or forty thousand spirit coins, which was almost one-third of Li Shou's wealth, if he couldn't successfully catch a second-order demon beast, then Li Shou would undoubtedly be greatly injured.
Time passes little by little......
When there was only one incense head left in the demon incense, Li Shou, who was already a little desperate, was finally ready to change his plan, that is, to close the net in advance, catch these first-order demon beasts, and recover some of his losses, so that he would not lose all his money this time.
But at this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from in the distance!
"Chirp—"
