Chapter 374: Kuimu Beach
"What a big spirit bead!"
Zhao Lin was in high spirits, his shot was like lightning, and the iron ruler in his hand stabbed into the inside of the clam shell.
The octagonal mussel sensed the danger and hurriedly closed the shell with force.
"Squeak ......"
The mussel shell bites the iron ruler and makes a sound like sharpening a knife.
"Open it for me!"
Zhao Lin flipped the iron ruler and wanted to pry the clam shell open, but he didn't expect the octagonal clam to be so powerful that he couldn't move even if he clamped the iron ruler.
At this moment, there was a sudden undercurrent, and a huge momentum rushed to the face.
"I want to run!"
Zhao Lin knew that this was a precursor for the octagonal mussel to prepare to escape, and once it was allowed to burrow under the sand, it would be difficult to catch it again.
He pulled out the silver dagger, quickly stretched into the mussel shell, and swirled and picked it up where the spirit bead was.
The spirit bead fell into his hand.
Zhao Lin can actually take the opportunity to kill the octagonal mussel, but doing so is suspected of killing chickens and taking eggs.
Gan Xingquan specially explained that if it is not necessary, it is best to release the clam demon after taking the spirit bead, so that maybe in a few decades, it will be able to give birth to a spirit bead again.
The octagonal mussel lost its spirit bead, and in a fit of anger, it spewed out a mouthful of breath, but unfortunately because of the heavy injury, the breath only spewed out more than a foot away.
Zhao Lin had already withdrawn.
The octagonal mussel is not of high intelligence, and acts completely out of instinct, and after spitting out a breath, it feels weak, and then it thinks of running away.
The mussel shell is unleashed, and the talent spell is used: Sand Escape.
The water converges and holds the clam demon high.
Immediately afterward, dozens of streams of water spurted out of the mussel shell, and the huge reaction force pushed the mussel body and smashed into the sand.
With a "boom", the octagonal mussel disappeared into the sea sand and quickly disappeared.
Zhao Lin swam back to the reef where he was sheltering before, wiped off the sticky matter on the surface of the spirit bead, and carefully examined it.
I saw that the spirit bead was crystal clear, and the light blue aura flowed endlessly inside, and when I inhaled it, I felt a cool and pure aura flowing into the palm.
After more than a dozen breaths, the spiritual power consumed was quickly replenished.
"Good thing, there should be a second grade!"
Zhao Lin secretly said in his heart, he was not an expert in this area, but according to the description in the task details, he generally knew the method of distinguishing the level of the spirit bead.
To identify the grade of the spirit beads, one looks at the size, the second looks at the color, and the third requires the exercise to observe the purity of the aura.
All three of these spirit beads met the requirements of the second grade, so Zhao Lin came to this conclusion.
The spirit bead can be regarded as a high-quality spirit stone, which is characterized by its small size and sufficient spiritual energy.
A five-grade spirit bead the size of a dragon's eye contains spiritual energy equivalent to five spirit stones, but when placed on the market, the price has doubled.
Because the spirit bead is easy to carry, and the concentration of spiritual energy is high, the auxiliary cultivation effect is twice the result with half the effort.
The spirit beads of the third, fourth and fifth grades can be used as a substitute for the spirit stones, while the spirit beads of the first and second grades are suitable for being used as the eyes of the array to maintain the operation of the magic circle for a long time, and the price is naturally higher.
The octagonal mussel just now was huge, and its lifespan was hundreds of years old, so it was not surprising that it had given birth to a second-grade spirit bead.
Zhao Lin was naturally happy to get an unexpected joy out of thin air, but he also knew that this time it was luck, and if he wanted to collect spirit beads, he still had to go to "Pearl Beach".
There are about a dozen places where Yongdeng Dark Sand is rich in spirit beads, and it is called Pearl Beach.
There are twelve places on the side of the Chenghua Sect and three places on the Earth Dark Sect.
This is not because there are few pearl beaches in the Earth Dark Sect, but because there are no monks of the Chenghua Sect who have drawn a map there.
After all, going deep into the hinterland of the other party requires a great deal of risk, and few monks are willing to do so.
"The hour is almost up, which Pearl Beach to go to?"
Zhao Lin put away the spirit bead and thought silently.
The Pearl Beach under the jurisdiction of the Earth Dark Sect must not be able to go, not to mention that it may be besieged, and even the hidden pile mechanism inside is also very dangerous.
He thought for a while, and remembered a place called Kuimutan.
"Kuimutan is located in the southwest and central part of Yongdeng Dark Sand, is one of the earliest discovered pearl beaches, there are many five-turn mussels, white jade shells, the quality of the spirit beads is mostly three to five grades, and occasionally produces two grade spirit beads."
"It's important to note that there are red-billed worms and nine-cheeked cockroaches here......"
Zhao Lin recalled the description in the detailed rules of the mission, and had a rough idea in his heart.
The red-billed insect is pitch black all over, only the snout is red, and it is a dangerous parasitic demon insect.
Because its body is only the size of a needle, the red-billed insect can easily pass through the defenses of the water resistance technique and cling to the surface of the human body, like an appendage of bones, constantly sucking blood.
When absorbed to a certain extent, the red-billed worm lays eggs in the human body, multiplies, and repeats until it drains the human body.
In fact, it is not difficult to deal with this demon insect, and it can even be trampled to death with one foot, the key is that the red-billed insect is as small as a needle and is difficult to find.
And when you find out, it is likely that there are already a large number of red-billed insects in the body, which will cause a great loss of qi and blood, or death at worst.
The nine-cheeked toad is a fish demon in the shape of a snake, which perennially entrenches in the shadows of the seabed.
It has a violent temperament, and if it is accidentally disturbed, it will take the initiative to attack the monk.
The Nine-Cheeked Toad has a thunder attribute, with a fast attack and fast action, making it very difficult.
He has martial arts self-defense, and he is also wearing a water-resistant robe, so it is not a problem to protect these insect demons and fish demons.
I chose Kuimu Beach because I didn't want to be in the same Pearl Beach with others, so as not to make an unpleasant scene.
"The resources of Kuimutan are good, but because of these two demon insects, ordinary people are reluctant to go, but I am not afraid."
Zhao Lin lightly verticalized and floated up to the surface of the sea.
The moon rises tomorrow, and the stars dim and shimmer.
The sea breeze howled and raged, and the sea was wave after wave.
Zhao Lin identified the direction, ate two handfuls of spiritual rice, and took the opportunity to rest for a while.
The mission of collecting spirit beads lasted for three days, and it was deep at the bottom of the sea, which was physically demanding.
After a few moments, he sank back to the bottom of the sea, found his way, and swam towards Kuimu Beach.
Dacheng-level water resistance is not afraid of wind and waves, and travels extremely fast in the sea, and in less than half an hour, he comes to a sea pearl beach.
"This is it!"
Zhao Lin's Adam's apple vibrated rapidly, expanding the strafing range, wanting to see if there were anyone else here.
Suddenly, a dark shadow swam towards me.
"Someone coming?"
Zhao Lin was slightly surprised that someone had the same idea as him.
Based on the information gathered by echolocation, it was determined that this person should be a monk of the Chenghua Sect.
There was no other reason, the monk of the Earth Dark Sect wore a long knife, but this person did not, but held an iron ring-shaped thing in his hand.
Zhao Lin recalled for a while, remembering that he had seen a monk named Tao Yan in the camp, and the magic weapon he used was the Vajra Ring, which was like this.
"It's my own people."
Zhao Lin put his mind at ease, thinking that since he had met, he should let the other party know that he was here, so as not to have a misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lin slowly moved over, formed a heavenly machine seal on his hand, and sent it over.
The person who came was Tao Yan, and his divine sense also sensed Zhao Lin's existence, but the next reaction made Zhao Lin cry and laugh.
Tao Yan turned around and ran away, jumping out three feet away!
"Run for what?"
Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then sent out another heavenly machine seal.
"It turned out to be a fellow Daoist of this sect."
Tao Yan slowly stopped, sent back a heavenly machine seal, and cautiously approached.
However, he still did not let his guard down, holding the diamond ring in his hand, and his whole body was on guard.
"Which fellow Daoist is it?"
Tao Yan was surrounded by the water control technique, and he could speak in his mouth, but his voice was a little muffled.
"I'm Zhao Lin, and Tao Daoyou is opposite."
Zhao Lin replied.
"It's me."
Tao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's such a coincidence, you're here too?" ”
"I just came, but I didn't expect us to bump into each other."
"yes, I didn't expect it either, I was shocked."
Tao Yan grabbed his hair, ashamed of his performance just now, and then asked in a tentative tone: "Zhao Daoyou, this Pearl Beach is not small, why don't we be half of us, how about each picking its own?" ”
Although the two of them are in love here, Zhao Lin came first after all, and Tao Yan said this with the intention of showing goodwill.
"Okay, just one and a half."
Zhao Lin readily agreed, turned around and swam to the side of the Pearl Beach.
The underwater visibility is not high, but there are some glowing stones and aquatic plants, and the shape of the Pearl Beach can barely be seen.
Zhao Lin looked down from a high place, recorded the place where the hidden pile mechanism was arranged, and carefully avoided it when collecting spirit beads later.
These traps do not distinguish between friend and foe, and once you set foot in them, they will trigger a spell attack.
When night fell, all kinds of shell demons and mussel demons came out of the seabed.
Next to a huge rock, three white jade shells lay side by side.
Each white jade shell is more than half a zhang long, and the mussel shell opens and closes slightly, spitting out the aura in the seawater, revealing a spirit bead the size of a pigeon's egg.
"It's three at once, and Zhutan is really different!"
Zhao Lin was happy, but also secretly felt a headache, it was easy to take one spirit bead, but it was a little difficult to take three of them.
"Looks like we're going to have to use the Ice Blade!"
Zhao Lin thought for a while, thought of a way, and quietly came to the top of the three white jade shells, and the water control technique suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the white jade shells on the far left.
At the same time, he pinched the magic trick in his hand, shot out an ice blade, and went straight to the second white jade shell.
"Points!"
Zhao Lin snorted, and the ice blade suddenly split into two, and the separated ice blade shot towards the third white jade shell!
The Dacheng-level Ice Blade Technique can be split into two, and two Ice Blades can be controlled at the same time with Divine Sense.
The iron ruler and the ice blade pierced into the three white jade shells almost at the same time, and quickly spun them inside, picking out the spirit beads.
Zhao Lin didn't delay, stretched out his five fingers, and the void grabbed three times in a row, directly grasping the three spirit beads in his hand.
Boom Boom!
The three white jade shells released the sand escape technique at the same time, and fled into the sand and fled for their lives.
Zhao Lin smiled slightly, and was about to take a closer look at the spirit bead in his hand, when he suddenly noticed a slender black shadow flashing in the reef cave on the side.
"Not good!"
Immediately rose to the top of several feet.
Looking down, I saw an electric light shooting towards the place where I had just landed, making a "crackling" sound.
"Nine-cheeked toad!"
Zhao Lin was stunned, and quickly figured out that it must be the sound of Bai Yubei drilling into the sand that alarmed the Nine Cheeks, making it think that it was its own movement, so it took the initiative to attack.
This fish demon's temper is really short-tempered, fortunately, he has been on guard all around, otherwise if he is electrocuted, although he will not die, he may lose his ability to act in a short time.
