Chapter 36: Phantom Beasts
"You have to find a place that will not be disturbed, but this time the breakthrough has the help of water beads, and it should not be too dangerous. Zhong Xiuyong felt out the water-avoiding bead in his arms.
"Well, what do you think of the island ahead?" Fu Xuanjing looked into the distance, and a huge desert island appeared in his field of vision.
Zhong Xiuyong took a look and felt that there was no problem, so the two of them sped up and went to the desert island to settle down.
Stepping on the land, Fu Xuanjing looked around, except for a few handfuls of weeds on the ground, the rest of the ground was full of potholes and no grass, let alone trees.
"It's weird, there's not a single tree in this place, but it's good, you can see the surroundings at a glance. Fu Xuanjing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Zhong Xiuyong had already sat down cross-legged at this time, began to operate his true qi, and quietly waited for the breakthrough to come.
After about one day and one night, Fu Xuanjing felt that the aura on Zhong Xiuyong's body suddenly increased several times, and a long howl shouted from his throat, and he vaguely felt that Zhong Xiuyong's opportunity to break the mirror had appeared, so he whispered on the side: "Senior brother, quickly take out the water beads." ”
After Zhong Xiuyong took out the water-avoiding beads, the rising aura continued to rise and did not stop, and the mist on his head was not until half an hour later, when he gathered his energy and was ready to start a real breakthrough.
Just when Zhong Xiuyong was about to work in one fell swoop, the desert island suddenly moved violently.
Fu Xuanjing's eyes were shocked, Zhong Xiuyong was completely unable to stop breaking through the realm at this time, if he was forced to stop, it would have an extremely incalculable impact on his future cultivation path.
About ten zhang in front of the desert island, a creature about four or five zhang long and the thickness of a water tank suddenly protruded from the water surface.
After the mysterious creature surfaced, the desert island continued to shake violently, Zhong Xiuyong held his breath, condensed his breath, and did not dare to slack off, if he was disturbed by this mysterious creature at this time, not only would he not be able to break through the realm, but he would also be devoured by the true qi, and he would be seriously injured and killed.
Fu Xuan waited for the mysterious creature to dry off the sea water above his head before he could see the whole picture, and couldn't help but gasp, there were horns on the top of the mysterious creature's head, and under the horns were two copper bell-sized eyes, like snakes and not snakes, and the whole body seemed to be covered with deep black rocks, which made people feel extremely hard to look at.
"Senior brother, this is the Demon Rock Turtle! Our feet are not islands, but the shell of the Demon Rock Turtle!" Zhong Xiuyong couldn't move, so he could only transmit the message to Fu Xuanjing.
Zhong Xiuyong felt very familiar when the head of the Demon Rock Turtle was out of the water, and when he saw the eyeball, and then thought of the pitted ravines under his feet, he suddenly realized that this was the fierce beast Demon Rock Turtle contained in the Chronicle of Strange Things.
The Chronicle of Strange Things is similar to the historical record of Jiuzhou, the difference is that the Chronicle of Jiuzhou only records people, and the Chronicle of Strange Objects not only records things, but also records countless extinct beasts and mythical beasts.
Strange Things: Magic Rock Turtle, huge in size, violent temperament, hunting deep-sea monsters for a living, usually like camouflage, lifespan can reach more than 10,000 years.
Fu Xuanjing heard Zhong Xiuyong's words, and he didn't have time to ask what the magic rock turtle was, he knew that this thing was a giant beast from what he saw in front of him, and the "island" was not big, but it was not small, and it was seven or eight acres of land (the size of a football field).
The Demon Rock Turtle was staring at a pair of emotionless giant eyes at the moment, looking at the two uninvited guests on his back.
"Where did you get the droplets of sunflower water on the two of you?" The Demon Rock Turtle actually spoke out of his mouth, and the sound was like thunder and metal knocking and rubbing, which was extremely harsh.
Zhong Xiuyong couldn't believe what he had heard and seen, there was no record of the Demon Rock Turtle in the Strange Things Chronicle, and it was possible that he was too unlucky, and the giant Demon Rock Turtle he encountered had already achieved cultivation, if so, the two of them would suffer even more.
The adult Demon Rock Turtle is enough to compete with the Ascension Realm monks, and this giant Demon Rock Turtle is probably enough to be choked even if it is a mid-level Great Monk of the Ascension Realm, let alone his own cultivation with Fu Xuanjing.
Under the protection of Kwai Shuizhu, Zhong Xiuyong tried his best to operate his true qi, and finally succeeded in breaking through the realm when the demon rock turtle was about to get angry, and his true qi instantly withdrew from the outside of his body.
Fu Xuanjing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although he didn't know if Zhong Xiuyong's breakthrough would help the situation in front of him, but he had finally escaped from the embarrassment of being in a dilemma, even if he couldn't fight, it should be more than enough to escape.
Zhong Xiuyong didn't have time to feel the changes after breaking through the realm, and said in a loud voice: "The predecessor is the Demon Rock Turtle?" Immediately, he said: "This Kwai Water Bead was obtained by the two of us from a sitting monk cave who is called the Kwai Water Heavenly Monarch. ”
The Demon Rock Turtle once again uttered an emotionless voice: "Leave the Kwai Water Beads, and I'll let you go." ”
Zhong Xiuyong and Fu Xuanjing looked at each other, if they left Kwai Water Beads, the two of them would not be reconciled, if they fought hard with the Demon Rock Turtle, the odds of winning were less than one point.
But Fu Xuanjing is just a person who does not believe in evil, when he first stepped into the cultivation world, even a great monk like Qianyangzi dared to be on the bar, and immediately said: "What if you don't give it!"
The Demon Rock Turtle was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that someone would dare to argue with it, and then said angrily: "If you don't give it, I'll swallow you two into your stomach!" He opened his mouth wide and wanted to bite.
"Give you another chance, to give it or not to give it!" the Demon Rock Turtle roared.
Fu Xuan Jing raised the Huiyang Palm, and the True Qi shouted wildly, and the Void Palm was imprinted on the huge head of the Demon Rock Turtle, and the debris flew sideways.
The rocky head of the Demon Rock Turtle was hit by Fu Xuanjing's palm, and there should be no reaction, but Fu Xuanjing and Zhong Xiuyong clearly saw the head of the Demon Rock Turtle falling downward.
"Senior brother, are you sure this is the Demon Rock Turtle?" Fu Xuanjing's eyes widened and said.
"This, this should be right, there is a portrait on the Strange Things, I will never admit it!" Zhong Xiuyong was also skeptical, but thinking that the portrait on the Strange Objects was exactly the same as the magic rock turtle in front of him, he still thought that this was the magic rock turtle.
"Ahh
"No! If this guy is a demon rock turtle, we don't know how many times he has died, senior brother, didn't you say that the demon rock turtle has a violent temperament, if it is a real demon rock turtle, how can it only be a verbal crusade!" Fu Xuanjing stared at the demon rock turtle with his eyes tight, and calmly reasoned.
"Well, you're right, besides, the Demon Rock Turtle was extinct tens of thousands of years ago, and even if the Demon Rock Turtle of such a huge size has been nesting here, it will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of those great monks who come and go. After a pause, Zhong Xiuyong said again: "If it weren't for the Demon Rock Turtle, how could it be so similar, strange!"
The Demon Rock Turtle heard that the two of them were not afraid of it at all, and had already begun to judge it, but instead showed a tendency to retreat, ready to take advantage of the two of them to quickly slip away.
Fu Xuanjing, who had been staring at the Demon Rock Turtle with his eyes, immediately noticed the Demon Rock Turtle's movements, and chuckled lightly: "It doesn't matter what it is, just grab it and interrogate it slowly!"
As soon as the Demon Rock Turtle heard Fu Xuanjing's words, he didn't care about sneaking around, quickly retracted his huge head, and dived into the sea.
"Senior brother, throw it down, I'll see where it escapes!" The escape of the Demon Rock Turtle made Fu Xuanjing more confident in judging - this is probably a fake Demon Rock Turtle!
Zhong Xiuyong threw the water bead directly into the water that the magic rock turtle retracted, and the sea water quickly separated, and when he saw the curled up magic rock turtle, Zhong Xiuyong jumped down, grabbed the falling water bead and the trembling magic rock turtle and returned to the "turtle's back".
"Tell me, what the hell are you? Fu Xuan looked at the "Demon Rock Turtle" with the thickness of the bucket and the length of several zhang to play with the taste.
"Let me go! Today is my birthday, and I swear not to kill, but if you continue to be obsessed, even if you break your oath, I will swallow you both." The "Demon Rock Turtle" roared to himself.
Fu Xuanjing raised his right hand, his true qi slowly condensed in his palm, and said lightly: "I have already said good things, if you pretend to be a ghost again, I will kill you with one palm, and then slowly find the answer in you." ”
The "Demon Rock Turtle" looked at the true qi that slowly condensed into red in Fu Xuanjing's hand, and he actually swallowed his saliva in a humanized way, knowing that he couldn't deceive this young man, so he said: "If you want me to say it, it's okay, I said that you can't kill me!"
Fu Xuanjing and Zhong Xiuyong were both made to cry and laugh, but they didn't expect to be almost frightened by this thing just now, and Zhong Xiuyong was almost eaten by the breaking realm.
"Tell me, what the hell are you. Fu Xuanjing retracted his true qi.
"My body is a phantom beast. After hesitating for a long time, the "Demon Rock Turtle" finally made up his mind to tell the truth.
"Phantom Beast?" Fu Xuanjing's knowledge was shallow, and he didn't know what a phantom beast was, so his eyes turned to Zhong Xiuyong.
"The phantom beast is also recorded in the Strange Things, and it can be disguised as anything with illusion, including the breath of the illusion thing, but there is no appearance, this phantom beast has a high level of intelligence, and it has not appeared on the Jiuzhou Continent for thousands of years, so not many people know it. Zhong Xiuyong suddenly realized, and then he understood the reason.
"But why this demon rock turtle's corpse appears here is quite strange, I think you are based on the breath on the demon rock turtle's corpse, right?" The previous sentence Zhong Xiuyong seemed to be talking to himself, but the latter sentence was said to the phantom beast that was still trembling on the ground.
"It's extreme, it's extreme, what this immortal master said is extreme," said the phantom beast lying on the ground.
"Senior brother, another day, you can lend me that strange thing to look through, I can say that I don't know any of the species on these nine continents. Fu Xuanjing deeply felt that his knowledge was shallow, and when he encountered this situation, his eyes were blackened, and he learned from the pain, since he had stepped into the cultivation world, this knowledge still had to be made up.
"Hehe, the Chronicles of Strange Things and the Legend of Jiuzhou can be seen everywhere, and I will take you to buy them back when you get to the sea continent. ”
"Can the two immortal masters let go of their little ones?" Seeing that it was not difficult for the two of them to speak, and that they were not extremely vicious, the phantom beast asked boldly.
"You pretended to be a ghost, and almost caught the two of us, and almost caused my senior brother to give up all his previous achievements, so I let you go, I want to be beautiful!" Fu Xuanjing was angry when he thought of the situation just now.
"Reveal your true nature. Zhong Xiuyong glanced at the phantom beast that was still lying on the ground trembling.
The phantom beast has extremely high intelligence, otherwise it would not be able to survive in this world where the weak eat the strong, and he also knew that Zhong Xiuyong was better at speaking than Fu Xuanjing, so he flattered: "Obey, immortal master." ”
After a flash of golden light, the phantom beast finally revealed its body, and it was actually a snow-white rabbit with a single horn!
