Chapter 267: The Giant Tridacn
By the time Shouping, who was as dead as ashes, came out of the small black house, the cross-sea shuttle they took had already reached the middle of the Xuanci Sea. The edge of the Xuanci Sea is relatively safe, after all, the surrounding air has no aura, and the weight is not light, and there is no wind at all. But the more you get to the middle, the more dangerous the Xuanci Sea becomes, and the sea surface that was originally calm has begun to swell with waves, which makes the more than 200 people in the cross-sea shuttle a little panicked.
Because there was no aura in the Xuanqi Sea, Qin Guan and the others had already prepared a lot of spirit stones to maintain their cultivation, so that their cultivation would not fall. Who knows how long they will be floating in the Xuanci Sea, in case a wave leads them astray, and then they don't know when they will come up with the Xuanci Sea. Even if Nie Yijian crossed the Xuanci Sea at the beginning, it was because of a coincidence, when he was in the middle of the Xuanci Sea, he happened to encounter a calm period of one to two months every year, and this was also because the demon beasts on the bottom of the sea lost a large number of entourage, and he escaped alone.
Originally, Qin Guan was also going to let the cross-sea shuttle sink to the bottom of the sea, but Nie Yijian didn't agree with anything, he knew the power of the undersea demon beast. These demon beasts may have lived in the Xuanci Sea for tens of thousands of years, and after continuous evolution, they have long been accustomed to the environment of the Xuanci Sea, so not only their combat power is amazing, but they also have a variety of abilities that can guide the surrounding environment, causing Nie Yijian and his party to continue to lose manpower.
As soon as Qin Guan heard this, he gave up this idea, after all, their group of people was trying to cross the Xuanci Sea safely, but they didn't want to fight with the demon beasts under the sea, it was too time-consuming, and listening to Nie Yijian, these demon beasts would not leave anything good, even if they were killed with great effort, they could only be discarded, wasting spiritual power in vain.
This time, leading Qin Guan and his party into the Xuanci Sea, Nie Yijian originally thought that he would die like last time, but more than half a month had passed, and he was incredibly calm. The last time he went to the middle of the Xuanci Sea, he had already lost a large number of companions, and this time it was when the Xuanci Sea was more violent, but he was so peaceful that he was halfway through, which really made him a little confused, whether his group was too wasteful at the beginning, or Qin Guan's group was too lucky.
But before he could think of an answer, the first difficulty in their voyage crept in. Less than two days after Shouping came out of the small black house, some people on the ship felt uneasy one after another, first cultivating as relatively low foundation building period monks, these batches were all formation mages who had good formation cultivation, but their cultivation was not high. These people can't even meditate anymore, so they can only hold on to their spirits and stare at each other, so as not to let each other go crazy, but the effect is not very good. In the next few days, another group of Jindan early stage monks fell into the magic barrier, and the spiritual power of their whole bodies was almost unrestrained, causing harm to the people around them.
Qin Guan also couldn't figure out what the reason was, when the first person fell into this state, he carefully observed the person's whole body, and didn't find anything wrong, but his mental state was very active. When one after another was in the same state as the first man, he became alarmed, and immediately issued an order that no one should go out of his room without his call. But the situation is too late to control, and even if everyone is isolated, there are still people who keep being tricked.
But fortunately, even if these people who are recruited do not belong to the mind, there is no particularly big obstacle, and they can still have self-awareness, but it is difficult to maintain the state of cultivation. Qin Guan was worried that everyone's bodies would be damaged, so he had to let several people live together and supervise each other's physical conditions in case anything abnormal happened.
Just after a quarter of the monks on the ship had already been hit, Qin Guan was closing his eyes and meditating in the middle of the night when he suddenly found a strange spiritual power groping from the bottom of the ship. Maybe it was because everyone on the ship was used to the fact that the spiritual sense could not be released in the Xuanqi Sea, so they didn't find this strange spiritual power. Moreover, this strange spiritual power is still very secretive and moves quickly, just touching a person, it retreats. If Qin Guan hadn't meditated as usual today, it would have been really difficult to discover such a strange spiritual power.
Moreover, the fluctuations emitted by this strange spiritual power were clearly a special kind of demon beast spiritual power, and it didn't seem to be a high level of cultivation, and it didn't pose any threat to Qin Guan. Maybe it was this demon beast that didn't know what it was that knew that Qin Guan was not easy to mess with, so the objects of choice were those monks who were not high in cultivation and were far away from the place where Qin Guan was. It's no wonder that Qin Guan has been clueless for so many days, it turns out that the other party deliberately took advantage of his cultivation to start.
Qin Guan couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, I couldn't calm down for a while today because of the affairs of this group of people, and I couldn't settle down when I settled down, I just stopped after cultivating for a while, but I didn't expect to catch the real culprit behind the scenes." ”
But he found out that it was the spiritual power of the demon beast, and he didn't choose to rush out directly to catch the murderer with great fanfare, but chose to wait and see what happened, otherwise he would attack rashly, in this place of Xuancihai, one-third of his strength can be regarded as high, maybe he really can't catch this cunning demon beast.
And he also found out that this demon beast did not want to kill people, but stole a stream of spiritual consciousness from these people who were recruited and quickly retreated, without any memory at all, he wanted to track it for fear of being dumped by others.
He pondered all night, and the next morning called Nie Yijian, whispered a few words in Nie Yijian's ear, Nie Yijian's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect things to be like this. But it's normal to say it, there are countless demon beasts in the Xuanci Sea, no one knows how many demon beasts there are, even if Nie Yijian has crossed once, he has only seen dozens of kinds, and he has paid a huge price. The environment of the Xuanqi Sea is not suitable for Terran monks to live in, but for demon beasts, there are not so many restrictions, after all, demon beasts have thick skin and meat, and they do not cultivate spiritual sense, so there are not many restrictions on them.
Of course, demon beasts and demon cultivation cannot be classified as one category, and the name of demon beasts has a beast character, which means that they have not yet departed from the habits of beasts, and even if they can cultivate, most of them are based on instinct and have no spirituality. Demon cultivators, on the other hand, are not only able to build themselves up by instinct, but also rely on more dexterous methods to achieve higher goals, which is what the monks call spirituality.
And Qin Guan observed yesterday that this demon beast clearly relied on his own little demonic power to capture a little bit of the monk's spiritual sense, and there was no more ability, of course, maybe there were other skills that had not been revealed. But Qin Guan thought that this must be a demon beast and not a demon cultivator. If the demon cultivator has a cultivation word, it means that he must practice the power of spiritual consciousness, otherwise he will not be able to control the magic weapon - this means of increasing combat power, even if the physical cultivation that occupies the vast majority of the demon cultivator will not object, let alone others. Therefore, Qin Guan concluded that this one was definitely a demon beast, not a demon cultivator.
If it's a monster, it's much easier. After all, the spirituality of demon beasts is not obvious, even if some demon beasts are gifted, and they can become spiritual cultivators in one fell swoop after cultivating spirituality, but most of them are still muddy, and even if they have some wisdom, they are not much different from children of three or five years old.
A hundred-year-old person like Qin Guan, relying on his own brain, is better than a five-year-old child, and he is not ready to catch it. But this kid was holding a powerful weapon in his hand, which was also capable of injuring a strong adult, so Qin Guan didn't act rashly.
After Nie Yijian knew about this, he was also speechless for a while, he originally thought that it was the unique environment of the Xuancihai that caused the monk to be uneasy, but he didn't expect that he was overshadowed by the demon beast. Originally, I wanted to suggest that Qin Guan turn to sail under the surface of the sea, and even if the hull of the ship was damaged, he could quickly escape from the Xuanci Sea. But if it's a demon beast, there's no need to worry so much, anyway, no matter how powerful the demon beast is, in the eyes of the monk, it can be defeated with wisdom.
And the reason why Qin Guan chose to tell Nie Yijian was to let Nie Yijian come forward to appease everyone, not to make everyone's minds more impetuous, otherwise he would be secretly attacked by that strange monster. In fact, it is not impossible for Qin Guan to come forward, but Qin Guan, as the leader of the group, often comes forward to appease everyone, and the effect will definitely get worse and worse, if it is Nie Yijian, who has already passed through the Xuanqi Sea once, the effect may be much better.
In the evening, Qin Guan asked a few Jindan perfect monks to prepare around the cabin, pretending to meditate, and he himself was pretending to be in meditation, in fact, he had been secretly observing the movements of the demon beasts.
After waiting for more than an hour, Qin Guan discovered that the demonic power appeared from the bottom of the ship again, and suddenly came to a Jindan monk sitting in the southeast direction. This Jindan monk was not the person secretly arranged by Qin Guan, but the two Jindan Consummation monks arranged by Qin Guan not far from him had been waiting for a long time, but without Qin Guan's orders, they had to stand still, quietly watching the demonic power penetrate the cabin and come to the front of the monk, preparing to pierce the monk's mud pill palace and absorb the monk's spiritual sense.
At this moment, Qin Guan suddenly heard a voice: "Attack!" The four monks who had long been unable to hold back suddenly moved out, and jumped out of the window with the talisman that Qin Guan had secretly distributed to them. The talisman on their body was a cave talisman drawn by Qin Guan before leaving, and the effect was to prop up a solid protective layer around them, so that the monks would not lose their combat effectiveness due to the external environment. In the environment of the Xuanqi Sea, it can be regarded as very effective.
But as soon as they got out of the cabin, they found that what they imagined was still too simple, the power of the Xuan Magnetic Sea was too uncomfortable, not only did they have to curb their habit of subconsciously absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings, but they also had to guard against being contaminated with Xuan Magnetic Particles, and they couldn't take out their own magic weapons - most of these magic weapons were doped with some metals, and it was very easy to absorb a lot of Xuan Magnetic particles.
The four of them didn't dare to delay, although the four of them were all from scattered cultivation backgrounds, and their means were relatively simple, but their ability to fight bravely and ruthlessly was not small, and this scene alone couldn't frighten them. Just when the four of them touched the boat and suddenly saw the monster, they were still frightened by this strange monster beast - what kind of monster beast is it, it is clearly a huge clams!
And Qin Guan appeared at the bottom of the boat long before the four of them touched the bottom of the boat. Originally, he could deal with this demon beast alone, but he was afraid that this demon beast would escape too fast and be escaped by this demon beast, so he took four people to guard in four directions to prevent this demon beast from escaping.
But what Qin Guan didn't expect was that he originally thought it was something strange, but he didn't expect it to be a huge and friendless clams, or a clams with white and flawless shells, and it looked like he couldn't count how many years old he was from the lines.
This clam is really a slightly spiritual demon beast, and when he suddenly saw five people appear in front of him, he was so frightened that he was about to break away from the bottom of the absorbing boat. But as soon as he broke away from the bottom of the boat, the open shell had not yet closed, and it was supported by Qin Guan's outstretched hand, unable to move at all.
Qin Guan stretched out his head and looked inside the shell, and in the center of the shell, which was more than ten zhang wide, there was a pearl with a diameter about the size of the round table. And there is a hazy figure on top of the pearl.
Qin Guan smiled and said, "Since it fell into our hands, don't think about running away, just go back with me!" After speaking, he returned to the cabin with the clams' shells.
Originally, the people on the ship did not devote themselves to meditation, for fear that they would also be entangled in inexplicable emotions, so as soon as they heard a sound from the cabin, they all opened the door and showed their heads to observe.
Qin glanced at the heads around him and said with a smile: "Okay, there's no need to observe secretly, let's come out and take a look." ”
After the two hundred people came out, they all expressed their amazement at the huge clams in front of Qin Guan, they really had never seen such a big clams. Originally, different types of clams shells were commonly used additives in Beihai refining magic weapons, which could add a trace of the increase in water-attribute spiritual power, so they were sought after by many water-attribute spiritual power cultivators. But they had never heard of such a huge clams.
Qin Guan didn't care about the people around him, and said to the little girl who was sitting on the pearl in the center of the clam and looked at him timidly: "You kid, you are really naughty. Can you understand me?"
The girl who looked ignorant glanced at Qin Guan timidly, and didn't say anything, just shrank behind the pearl again, not wanting to show her figure.
Qin Guan was not angry, knowing that this girl looked similar to a demon cultivator, but although she was spiritually born, she had not been taught by others, and lived by instinct, so she estimated that she could not communicate for a while, so she handed it over to Shouping and others to guard. And he himself went back to the room to think about how to relieve the unrest of the person who had been recruited.
