There was contempt in the eyes of the Storm Dragon Shark. Although it could feel the extraordinary fire below, it was not a dead creature. There was a large space below, and it could move dozens of feet in an instant with just a flick of its tail.
But this monster had also experienced many bloody battles. Although it saw that this human cultivator was only in the middle stage of foundation building and showed disdain on the surface, it was still on high alert in its heart, fearing that the red flames below would have other changes.
While thinking, the Storm Dragon Shark had already swung its tail lightly, and its huge body was as nimble as a hummingbird. With the splashes of water on its side that had not yet fallen, it appeared dozens of feet away in an incredibly light manner.
As soon as its sideways body appeared, the row of spines on its back immediately stood up like a ferocious lion with its fur standing on end. The next moment, like a violent storm, it shot from three directions, above, middle and below, towards Li Yan, who had just stood firm on one side.
The black feathers of the Netherworld Flame Eagle cut through the air like iron spears. Amidst the high-pitched cry, its eagle-like, iron-like mouth opened, and a ball of dark white light gradually formed in its mouth, becoming brighter and larger, and in an instant it occupied the entire mouth.
The bloodlust in its eyes became stronger, and it no longer held back, and it used its innate magical power - "Sen Yan Xing Wan".
It also saw the appearance of the Storm Dragon Shark below. Although its own level was not as high as the other party, it was not easy for the other party to snatch food from its mouth.
In the end, it would have to at least share some of the human monk's essence and blood with it. It had fought with this storm dragon shark no less than dozens of times. Although the opponent was able to fly in the clouds, it could not compare with itself in the air.
But just as the Nether Flame Eagle was about to launch an attack, a look of pain suddenly flashed in its eyes, and then its body, which was soaring in the sky, suddenly stopped. The iron feathers that were originally deeply rooted in its bones were melting and falling off its body and wings at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then large areas of strong skin were exposed, but as soon as the skin was exposed, large red spots appeared on it, and were spreading throughout the body at a very fast speed.
These red spots were like bright red ringworm spots, making people want to vomit at the sight. As the Nether Flame Eagle looked terrified, waves of red mist rose from his body...
Li Yan only took a look and now he was dealing with a mere second-level monster, and he let himself attack the limbs. The result was self-evident. If it was a year ago, let alone encountering two second-level monsters, even if he faced one of them alone, he would have to go through a fierce fight.
He stomped his feet hard on the "Cloud-Piercing Willow", and in an instant the speed of the "Cloud-Piercing Willow" was brought to its limit. Li Yan's body was like a ghost, turning irregularly and rushing towards the sky.
Many spines whizzed past his feet, suddenly lost their target, and flew into the distance.
In the past, even if Li Yan dodged this wave of spines, due to the control of the Storm Dragon Shark, the spines would follow him like a shadow until the opponent was exhausted and unable to dodge anymore.
But now, just after the Storm Dragon Shark shot out the spines on its back, it saw a terrifying scene.
The Netherworld Flame Eagle, with whom it had fought countless times, was about to use the "Senxuanxing Pill" that often gave it a headache, but the next moment, with a mournful cry, its feathers fell off in an instant.
Then red mist rose from the Nether Flame Eagle, and shrill cries came from the red mist, causing the Storm Dragon Shark's huge body to tremble.
Of course, it could hear how painful the Nether Fire Eagle's cries, each one louder than the last, were, and there was a hint of fear in the pain.
What kind of pain must it be to make a level 2 monster make such a loud noise.
Suddenly, the Storm Dragon Shark was terrified, and its first thought was "Poison cultivator, I met a powerful poison cultivator today..."
However, there was no time for it to be stunned on the battlefield. Just as it came to its senses and was about to retract its spines and flee to the sea, a cold voice came to its ears, "Why, you still want to escape..."
Then, the Storm Dragon Shark felt an unbearable stinging pain in its soul, and then fell into endless darkness... Its huge body was like a small mountain, crashing into the dark sea, setting off endless huge waves...
Li Yan collected two monster cores, and picked out the valuable organs and bones from the two monsters. After sorting them and putting them into the storage bag, he looked up in one direction.
There were several powerful auras of demon beasts there, but after Li Yan glanced over, the auras quickly fled away and disappeared.
The battle just now attracted quite a few monsters. Even the monsters that came later, when they saw Li Yan peeling the skins and digging out the cores, they instantly recognized the true forms of the two death monsters.
For a moment, no matter how ferocious they were, they dared not come forward. As soon as Li Yan's breath locked onto them, they immediately fled away. They no longer dared to think of devouring the flesh and blood of this human cultivator.
Now for Li Yan, he doesn't need to use too much strength to kill a level 2 monster easily. However, he feels very annoyed along the way, but he has no choice.
As he continued to go deeper, he had to pass through different sea areas. The occasional killing could only scare the monsters for a while, but he could not stop other monsters from coveting him.
… …
In an endless dark space, with strong winds blowing wildly, a huge meteorite with an area of more than a thousand feet was quietly suspended in the void. In front of the meteorite, the sky was originally just a thin bright horizontal line formed by five-colored light waves. Now it was like a sleeping giant, slowly opening its huge eyes, lifting its upper and lower eyelids, letting light come into this endless dark world.
In the front of the huge meteorite, there were three people with long hair reaching to the ground. At this moment, there was a bright light in their eyes. The ragged monks behind them also raised their heads.
Their originally dull faces now revealed expressions of anticipation and excitement. The aurora in the sky ahead shone on their faces which were distorted by excessive excitement. Although no one spoke, the brilliance in their eyes could almost burn everything in the world.
"The space node given here seems to be correct. I can already feel the familiar breath coming from the Desolate Moon Continent." An old voice sounded low among the three.
"They have to at least show this little bit of sincerity. Otherwise, how can they expect us to help? Big Brother, how long do you think it will take to open this place?" A weak voice came from another person with long hair hanging down to the ground.
As soon as he said this, even the people behind him suddenly had more expectations in their eyes, and everyone looked in the direction where the old voice came from.
After a long while, as everyone waited, the old voice sounded again, "According to the speed at which the Second World Channel has been expanding, it will probably take about a year."
Although everyone can see the giant's eyes that are open like a line at the edge of the sky, only he can barely sense the distant aura within.
"It's worth it that we've come here after all the hardships we've gone through. A year... really goes by very quickly, very quickly..." The weak voice whispered with deep emotion. His voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart of everyone who heard it, like a huge bell...
… …
More than half a year later, a faint shadow stood on a small island in the North Sea. He almost merged with the surrounding environment. Under his feet, black waves crashed against the shore, rolling up thousands of huge waves, and the rumbling sound was endless.
This person was none other than Li Yan, who had performed the "Stealth and Hiding at Night" technique. In his consciousness at this moment, on a reef three thousand miles away, there was a small black tree standing against the wind, looking so inconspicuous.
The reef is only three meters in size, with about ten meters exposed above the sea surface. It is often flooded by sea water, so the entire reef is covered with densely packed smooth little eyes. Except for this strange little tree, no other vegetation can grow on it.
Li Yan finally found the "You Wuqiong" tree within the range designated by Pingtu half a month ago. The small tree did not look big, but Li Yan knew that "You Wuqiong" grew abnormally slowly and could only grow five inches in a thousand years.
After looking at the height of the tree, Li Yan estimated that it had existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
The "Youwuqiong" tree is extremely hard and flexible. Once it takes root somewhere, the roots will reach thousands of feet underground. The exposed branches and trunks are both hard and flexible, and will not break no matter how strong the wind and waves are.
Strangely enough, this tree grows slowly upwards, but its roots spread rapidly and penetrate every pore.
This tree has been growing here for more than 100,000 years, so Li Yanyi was not surprised. Firstly, it was very difficult to pick the "You Wuxian" tree. Without special means, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to break it with his bare hands.
The characteristic of "You Wuxian" is that it is "not susceptible to any hard or soft attacks". Of course, if a Jindan or foundation-building cultivator is allowed to use powerful magic weapons or supernatural powers, it can still be obtained. Otherwise, if this treasure is used to resist heavenly calamity or as a shield, wouldn't it be invincible
The second is that after obtaining it, "You Wuqiong" can only be used as an ordinary magic weapon at most. It is almost impossible to refine it by itself. Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage can use the infant fire to melt it.
However, the magic weapon refined may not be much stronger than other magic weapons of Nascent Soul cultivators. Generally speaking, the gain does not outweigh the loss.
Therefore, although "You Wuxian" is rare, there are very few people who are willing to spend a lot of effort to find it. This has resulted in "You Wuxian" being a good refining material, but not many people need it.
In addition, another major reason why no one is willing to pick "You Wuxian" is that its companion monster, the "Blue Demon Dragon", is generally at least level three or even level four. Monsters are naturally powerful, and some species at level three are comparable to ordinary human Nascent Soul cultivators.
With such a powerful companion monster, and spiritual energy scarce here, fighting here will undoubtedly greatly reduce the effectiveness of the cultivator's spells, and very few cultivators would be willing to take the risk.
However, the "Guishui Xianmen" can use a secret method to melt it into water, and finally refine it into a unique magical weapon that can be nurtured and grow.
Li Yan carefully withdrew his spiritual sense. He had been observing here for half a month. The companion monster of the "Youwuqiong" tree, the "Blue Demon Dragon", was lying motionless under the tree and sleeping, with no intention of leaving at all.
What made Li Yan nervous was that this "Blue Demon Dragon" was already in the late third level. If it had not fallen into a deep sleep, Li Yan estimated that even if he was more careful, he would still be discovered by the other party.
Therefore, Li Yan only dared to stay at the edge of the limit range of his spiritual consciousness, and would only explore occasionally.
He did not dare to do this too frequently. After about two hours, he would send out a hint and explore from a distance near the "Youwuqiong" tree.
