Chapter 175: Entering the Island
Seeing the Yuan Infant Stage Patriarch here, all the disciples present were shocked, but at the same time a little rejoicing.
This patriarch of the Yuan Infant period was gray-haired, wearing an old gray Confucian robe, with a serious expression and not squinting. A few Jindan monks went to greet him, but he only nodded slightly, and ordered a few people to prepare to open up the road.
In the area that the Demon Subjugation Association is going to explore, there are generally no things that the Yuan Infant Patriarch can look at, so they will not participate in the meeting. But this year is different, since the new regulations have been proposed, and so many low-level disciples are suddenly required to participate in the meeting, of course, the high-level leaders of the Yuanxu Sect must also show their attitude of importance.
With such a powerful figure participating, this year's demon subjugation meeting is very promising, and there will definitely be no fear of encountering any powerful demon beasts.
Under the orders of the Yuanying Patriarch, the five Jindan period monks approached the demon fog and put on a posture to break through the demon fog. Although it is not yet the time when the demon fog is the thinnest, but with the Yuanying Patriarch in charge, he doesn't care about this difference, even if there is any accident, it will definitely be able to break through in the end.
This demon mist is light purple, translucent, very wide, hundreds of zhang high, and very dense, after going deep into a few zhang, you can't see anything. The demon fog was rolling and surging, as if it was alive. It is said that these demon mist are poisonous, and they are full of evil turbidity, as long as they are touched, they will itch all over their bodies, and after a while, their skin will open and their flesh will bloom, and if they are exposed for a long time, they will definitely die.
After setting up the formation, the leading monk raised a huge light blue banner and waved it non-stop, and soon there was a whistling wind from the flag, and a gust of wind blew out, blowing a large area of dense fog on the opposite side.
Then the four monks next to him shot together, each showing their magical powers, and powerful magic weapons and spells continued to hit the demon mist, scattering the mist little by little, opening up a passage. When the passage was excavated for a distance of nearly 100 zhang, a small crack was finally torn open in the thick fog, and the island in the dense fog could be glimpsed from the crack.
At this time, several people already felt a little struggling, and the offensive began to gradually weaken, seeing that the demon fog that had been dispersed was about to recover again, and several people were faintly surrounded by demon fog in the passage.
The Yuan Infant Patriarch finally made a move, and with a wave of his hand, he released a demon beast shaped like a dragon, and this demon beast opened its mouth and spewed out a thick column of water, instantly dispersing the dense fog around several people. Then, Master Zu took out a round mirror that was not too big, and the mirror shone towards the demon mist, and countless golden lights gushed out, and the irradiated mist no longer surged and spread, and remained motionless, and the passage that had just been opened up was fixed.
Seeing this, several Jindan period monks were overjoyed, and immediately attacked violently towards the rift that had just been torn apart, expanding the rift to a few zhang in width and height, and a circular entrance was formed.
After seeing that the passage and entrance were stable, the monk who led the group began to direct the disciples attending the meeting to enter the island. Hundreds of disciples who took the initiative to participate in the meeting immediately swarmed in, and the disciples who were forced to participate in the meeting flew unhurriedly after them.
Zhou Lumei had originally planned to show off her skills at the Demon Subjugation Meeting, collecting more medicinal materials in order to obtain the Shape Cultivation Pill, but in the past few days, under the spiritual attacks of several senior sisters, she had already become impatient, and she entered the island as quickly as possible among the first batch of disciples to enter.
Zhou Lumei's senior sisters finally entered the island, and after entering the island, they landed on the shore closest to the entrance and found a shady place to sit down. Although this demonic mist surrounded several nearby islands, the sky above was not covered, and the island was still scorching and the sun was sufficient, so the elixir on the island could grow normally.
But if a monk dares to fly high into the air and fly over the thick fog, then he will be in bad luck. There are many demon beasts here, once they fly into the air, they will be detected by the demon beasts and become the target of their predation.
That's not all, the demon fog in this sea area was originally caused by the curse, so the demon fog was covered with heavenly thunder, as long as there were cultivators approaching, it would attract heavenly thunder attacks, and this kind of heavenly thunder was different from ordinary thunder and lightning, even the Yuan Infant Stage monks were difficult to resist.
What did the people who lived here do back then, and they actually caused such a big disaster, making it difficult for everyone to escape. Presumably, the ordinary level of things that hurt nature and reason is not enough to produce this kind of situation, and it is difficult to describe these people who are extremely evil.
Not far from a few women, there are many disciples with low cultivation who have gathered here, after all, most people still have self-knowledge, and they can't beat the slightly more powerful demon beasts, what are they doing when they go in and send them to death. Several of Zhou Lumei's senior sisters even planned to talk to someone or something later, and take the opportunity to catch a golden beetle son-in-law to go back.
However, there are also those who are brave enough to think that the place they first entered may not be so dangerous, so they plan to explore the island.
The Wudao Islands are centered on five large islands, surrounded by as many as 140 small islands, which can be hundreds of miles in size. Once within the confines of the archipelago, the demon fog is almost gone, and there are more or less passable passages between each island.
The place where the Yuanxu faction entered was only one of the relatively small islands, and the demon beasts on the island were not very powerful, most of them were junior demon beasts in the Qi cultivation period. In fact, a few low-level disciples work together, and there is no problem in dealing with one or two junior demon beasts, but unfortunately there are not many disciples here who have practiced cooperation, and it is impossible to be so tacit.
Demon beasts are not comparable to beasts, and there are many individuals with high intelligence in them, and they cannot be beaten by brute force alone. Those demon beasts that live in groups are even more difficult to deal with, often as soon as they appear, they are a group, and under the joint attack of dozens of demon beasts, even the cultivators in the cultivation period are difficult to retreat with their whole body, and the low-level disciples are basically certain to die when they encounter them.
There are those who are afraid of danger and dare not act, and there are those who are not afraid of difficulties and move forward bravely. The monks who had planned to participate in the Demon Slaying Meeting, of course, would not flinch here, and they boldly flew through the air and poured towards the passage to the other islands.
Although the demon beasts on the first island are easy to deal with, the quality of the elixir here is of course the worst, and there is not much left to collect. And the valuable part of the monster beast that is easy to deal with is also small, and there is basically not a lot of benefit from killing a monster.
It didn't take long for all the monks who had faith in their strength to be gone, leaving only those who didn't plan to make a difference, staying on the beach or exploring the island a little.
However, is it really safe to stay here?
The awesome people are gone.
