397 Ghost of the Deep
Staring closely at the few valuable blood antler corals attached to the giant gray-white coral tree, he quickly calculated in his heart whether his strength could capture these blood antler corals from the protection of the undersea demon beasts, and whether it was worth it or not.
Ye Qin couldn't help but take a closer look at them.
But seeing the pile of dry bones under the coral tree, Ye Chun's heart was numb.
He was proficient in bone alchemy and was extremely familiar with the quality of various bones, and he could see at a glance that under the giant gray-white coral tree, there were a large pile of strange-shaped sea beast dry bone remains, and there were many sea beast bones above the fifth or sixth order, and even a small number of seventh-order bones.
This is enough to see that there are many mid-level and above sea beasts who want to devour these blood staghorn corals, including Jindan-level sea beasts.
But they apparently died in the mouths of the guardian sea beasts before they could get their hands on the Blood Antler Coral.
I don't know what kind of powerful sea beasts are guarding these blood corals, so that these blood corals can grow unharmed for thousands of years. Without extremely strong sea beasts, they would never be able to hold these rare blood corals.
Moreover, in those dense holes under the big coral tree, it is likely that there is a group of sea beasts, not just one or two. These sea beasts should have been staying here all the time, preventing other sea beasts from peeping at these heavenly and earthly treasures.
As soon as Ye Qin thought of this possibility, he immediately regained his composure and dispelled his plan to seize these few blood staghorn corals.
He has two puppets, one is a skeleton demon with Jindan's initial strength, and the other is a silver-armored guard puppet with Jindan's high-priced strength.
The Jindan Skeleton Demon can grow, but it only relies on devouring corpse corpses and dead qi to increase its cultivation strength, and does not swallow spiritual objects to increase its strength.
The Silver Armor Guard puppet only consumes top-grade spirit stones, cannot enhance its strength, and does not eat spiritual objects.
Blood Antler Coral is a precious spiritual creature used to raise spirit animals, and it is very useful.
In other words, unless he would raise spirit beasts in the future, this blood coral would be of little use to him, at most he would take it to the Baifu City Market to sell some spirit stones. However, he did not lack this amount of money, and the occasional alchemy and sale of pills was completely enough for his cultivation expenses. For the sake of these few blood staghorn corals, it is obviously not cost-effective for him to provoke a group of powerful sea beasts in this deep-sea passage.
However, Ye Qin didn't plan to make a move, which didn't mean that the other Jindan monks didn't want to get a few blood corals.
Out of the strong is Jin Zhongshan.
Jin Zhongshan's eyes widened, risking a strong **, in front of this precious spiritual object, he almost did not have any resistance. Even when he saw the beautiful female monk in Baifu City, he had never been so impulsive.
"No matter what! Whether or not there is a Sea Beast Pavilion to protect these blood corals, I will take them away! Sister Yao, Sister Xiaoji, Brother Pan Lin, do me a favor, protect the Dharma for me, I will go and get these blood corals, and we will divide these spiritual objects equally afterwards. How?"
Jin Zhongshan couldn't suppress the urge to take the Blood Coral Treasure Spirit Artifact into his pocket, and said fiercely. After speaking, he immediately released the fiery red gourd he was carrying on his back, ready to take the treasure.
His gourd is a fire-type top-level magic weapon.
In a place where the water spirit is abundant at the bottom of the sea, the power of this fire-based magic weapon has been invisibly weakened by about one or two percent by the geographical environment, and it is obviously not as easy to use as a water-based magic weapon. Under normal circumstances, monks will avoid their magic weapons being restrained by the natural geographical environment, and choose magic weapons that are suitable for the environment, or are not restrained.
But Jin Zhongshan is a gold and fire type double spirit root monk, and the magic weapons above the top level carried in the storage bag are all fire and gold magic weapons. Even if he wanted to use a water-based magic weapon, he couldn't fight it. Even if he could find a water-based magic weapon, he wouldn't be able to use much power.
This is a helpless thing, who called him the Fire Gold Spirit Root Monk. This is also one of the reasons why Jin Zhongshan is reluctant to venture to this undersea passage from the bottom of his heart. He was jealous of the magic weapon of the water shell spirit bead in Ye Qin's hand. "Don't worry, with my Great Five Elements Sword Formation Protector, even the Jindan Sea Beast can surround it.
Brother Jin, you can just take the treasure. ”
Zhou Yao had long wanted to take this blood coral. Although she didn't raise spirit beasts, and she didn't plan to sell them for money, she liked the color and aura of this blood antler coral, and she used them to make accessories to carry around, which must be very gorgeous and dazzling.
She answered, and immediately like a slender hand, the five flying swords around her body suddenly radiated. "Brother Jin, I'll protect the Dharma for you!"
Pan Lin excitedly took the initiative to fly over and threw out the golden Jiao scissors, turning into a golden mang of more than 20 zhang, swimming in front of him as flexibly as a golden Jiao. Jin Mang kept pouring and was about to come out.
"Sister Liao, what about you, if you don't make a move, this blood coral under the testicles will be useless. Didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to personally domesticate a spirit beast in the future? With the Blood Coral, the success rate of domesticating a spirit beast can be greatly increased, and the endowment will be much better than that of ordinary spirit beasts.
Golden Umbrella Mountain asked loudly. "Okay!"
Liao Weizi saw that everyone was making a move, she hesitated slightly, nodded, and flew out a brilliant bastard aya, ready to defend.
Zhou Yao, Liao Xiaozi, and the two women flew out of the magic weapon one after another, ready to take away this undersea treasure.
The four Jindan monks were going to take the treasure.
Only Ye Qin didn't say anything, he just floated on one side of the water, looking at it indifferently.
Jin Zhongshan showed joy, four Jindan monks were enough. He didn't stiffen, and the four Jindan monks couldn't take these few Blood Antler Coral Guardian Demon Beasts. It's the same whether Shu Ye Qin makes a move or not. He also wished that one less Jindan monk would make a move, so that he could get one less blood coral.
"Brother Ye, don't you want this blood coral, this is a rare spiritual object that is difficult to buy in Baifu City.
Zhou Yao controlled the five flying swords in one hand, and turned back to Ye Qin with a smile and asked.
Ye Qin glanced at the four of them and knew that they had made up their minds and had to take this blood coral. He didn't intend to waste his strength here, and of course, he didn't need to dissuade him.
"Do as soon as you want, lest you fall too far behind the monks of the other squads. We need to cross this undersea passage as soon as possible and enter the Langya Secret Realm, where there are more precious spiritual objects, not necessarily worse than this blood coral. ”
He thought for a moment and said lightly.
But having said that, Ye Qin still sacrificed the water shell spirit bead, pinched the law with his hand, and turned the enemy's big water dragon as a protective body, just in case. Once the four of them alarm the hole ** sea beast under the coral tree, it is likely to attract the sea beast's attack.
The sea beast didn't care if Ye Qin wanted to take away the spiritual object, it would definitely attack him.
If necessary, as a member of the squad, Ye Qin will still make a move.
After all the monks in the team were ready.
Zhou Yao immediately said, "Brother Jin went to fetch blood coral, and Brother Pan protected the Dharma for Brother Jin." Sister Liao and I are responsible for keeping an eye on the cave** and beware of the sea beasts inside. As for Brother Ye, it's good to watch the battle from the sidelines. These holes** are a bit weird, and the sea beasts must be hiding in them, but the divine sense probe has not found them.
After Zhou Yao assigned everyone's tasks, the four Jindan monks dispersed, Jin Zhongshan took the lead, Pan Lin took the cover, Zhou Yao and Liao Xiaozi responded, and slowly approached the giant gray-white coral tree.
In a short distance, they moved unusually carefully and slowly.
At close range, the sea beast's attacks are extremely ferocious.
Ye Qin floated in place and did not move, his expression was calm, but his gaze was coldly fixed on those submarine caves.
Jin Zhongshan approached the gray-white coral tree, and the holes were still silent.
All the monks secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that these caves** were either empty, or the sea beasts in these caves** might have gone out to look for food and did not stay here. Either way, it's good to avoid a fight with a sea beast.
Jin Zhongshan casually took out a short gold-bladed mid-level magic weapon from the storage bag on his waist, and as soon as he released his mana, the golden blade stabbed fiercely at the gray-white coral tree, trying to dig down the few blood corals attached to the tree completely.
It's just that the gray coral tree is very hard, and he stabbed it with all his might, leaving only a sharp mark a few inches deep on the tree.
"Huh~, it won't be an iron-shirted coral tree yet, right?!"
Jin Zhongshan looked annoyed and surprised.
Only then did he notice that this inconspicuous gray-white coral was also a raw material for some famous refining weapons, which could be refined into high-level water-based spiritual weapons. It's just that the grade of such raw materials is a bit low-grade, and there are so many of them in the sea, Jindan monks usually don't pay too much attention to them.
"Brother Jin, can these blood corals be dug up?"
Seeing this, Zhou Yao couldn't help but worry.
"It's okay, it only takes a small half pillar of incense. Keep watch around and beware of the sea beasts coming. ”
Jin Zhongshan's fat palms clenched the golden blade, continued to dig hard, and said disapprerovitously.
Ye Qin glanced in the direction of Jin Zhongshan, then turned around and continued to stare at the entrances and exits of those caves. Suddenly, his eyelids jumped, and a faint water streak appeared in the sea water at the mouth of a hole, as if something had scratched in the water.
But when he looked closer, he saw nothing.
He didn't dare to be careless, and his powerful divine sense quickly swept through the coral forest hundreds of zhang square around him, carefully probing every corner and every inch of the sea. What made him frown was that he failed to detect anything out of the ordinary.
"Everyone, be careful, there seems to be movement in the cave!"
Although there were no abnormal findings, Ye Qin still vigilantly issued a warning to several other monks in the team.
Zhou Yao, Liao Xiaozi, and Pan Lin and other monks immediately looked around. Of course, the few of them naturally didn't find anything unusual, and they couldn't help but glance at Ye Qin suspiciously, wondering if Ye Qin was wrong.
Ye Qin couldn't help laughing at himself, maybe it was the ripples formed by the flow of seawater, or the traces of seaweed floating.
A dense jingling sound sounded in the coral forest, and Jin Zhongshan was quickly digging the blood coral with the golden blade, trying to dig the blood coral as soon as possible.
Suddenly, in the surrounding waters, Mindao's strange ripples appeared silently within more than ten zhang of the monks.
There was no sound, no warning, these ripples appeared almost out of thin air.
Along with it, there were more than ten shadowless and invisible Zhang Chang water knives, which swooped down on the five Jindan monks.
The moment Ye Qin appeared in those ripples, his heart was already alert, and he suddenly shouted. The sudden sharpness was close in the blink of an eye.
The water shell spirit bead in his hand burst into blue light in an instant, and he controlled the sensitive and long water dragon beside him to frantically pounce towards the fierce mang.
