Longevity begins with alchemy master

Chapter 552: Breaking the formation and destroying the island, fishing in troubled waters

"Is this the Ring-headed Turtle?"

In the nameless underground cave, Luo Chen looked at the creature lying in front of him in surprise.

Turtle body, snake head, slender neck.

When he used magic power to stimulate it, the beast was forced to stretch out its neck, and its slender shape could even wrap around its entire body.

"Is it a turtle or a big snake?"

Luo Chen was a little surprised. In his opinion, this ring-headed turtle was inexplicably similar to the mythical beast "Xuanwu".

The difference is that the legendary image of Xuanwu is Black Snake Pan Guiwu, and the two coexist.

This ring-headed turtle has the body of a turtle and the head of a snake, which is quite nondescript.

The Black King who had shrunk in size at the side said at this moment: "Master, this is what low-level ring-headed turtles are like. Only when you reach the third level will there be a difference."

"Oh? Will there be changes after the third level?" Luo Chen became interested.

The ring-headed turtle he has on hand is a first-level ring-headed turtle that he secretly captured recently. It is of very low grade and has little intelligence.

I thought that there might be a gap in realm between the monster groups, but I didn’t expect that there would be changes in the future?

The Black King spat out the snake letter and responded: "Unlike ordinary monsters with mixed bloodlines, the Ring-headed Turtle is a truly great monster with proven ancestry. According to an old man from my black-scaled python clan, the Ring-headed Turtle has Although the bloodlines of Black Turtle and Cliff Snake are thin, their concentration is far higher than that of ordinary monsters like us."

"As their realm improves, their demonic power refines their bloodline, and they will gradually purify a bloodline to the extreme, thus gradually approaching the appearance of their ancestors."

"The third level is a watershed. At that time, the ring-headed turtle will truly determine the path of cultivation and prepare for the transformation stage."

After following Luo Chen for several years, under the influence of his ears and eyes, Hei Wang has become able to speak human language in a decent way.

At this moment, it is very clear and coherent.

Luo Chen listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

Purifying the bloodline and tracing the power of the ancestors is indeed in line with the practice method of the monster lineage.

Black turtles and cliff snakes are famous ancient monsters in the legends of the mountain and sea world.

With these two bloodlines as the direction, the cultivation of the ring-headed turtle lineage is indeed clearer than those with mixed bloodlines such as the black-scaled giant python and the demon crab.

Rubbing his chin, Luo Chen said thoughtfully: "So, when the rumored Xuanyan Demon King transformed, he probably had already purified his bloodline to the extreme and had the body of a black turtle."

While talking to himself like this, Luo Chen's eyes fell on the shell of the ring-headed turtle.

I wonder if this kind of carapace can be used to refine Black Emperor Paste, and what is the effect of refining it?

But soon, such thoughts were dismissed by Luo Chen.

He made preparations in advance and experimented with many auxiliary materials to refine the Black Emperor Paste from the demon crab carapace.

If the main material is replaced, the auxiliary materials must also be replaced.

That's too much trouble.

The current focus is not on these trivial matters.

"Black King, Tianxuan, what's the situation outside now?"

"Report to the master, the five royal clans of demon crabs have gathered around Xuanyan Island, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and there is a strong tendency to completely destroy the ring-headed turtle clan." Black King replied.

Hearing this amount, Luo Chen couldn't help but tremble.

He knows that the demon crab clan is huge!

After all, this thing's reproductive ability is astonishing, even better than the human race, which is famous for its reproductive ability.

This is one of the main reasons why he came to the black rock waters to hunt monster crabs.

You have given birth to so many crabs, I will catch a few to make medicine, just a few! It won't attract anyone's attention!

But he didn't expect that the number could be so large.

There are tens of millions of Chen soldiers!

Even if 99% of them are first-order demon crabs that are not worth mentioning, if the number of them piles up, they will be killed by ants.

The five royal clans of demon crabs join forces, and the ring-headed turtle clan is in danger!

"Owner!"

A clear voice came from Tianxuan's mouth, and she gave Luo Chen a bit of news.

"I discovered one thing. Those human monks seem to have joined forces with the demon crabs."

……

On the vast sea, the sound of fighting shook the sky and the sea.

With all his strength, Luo Chen, who was hiding in the formation, was able to hide in the turbulent deep sea without leaking any breath.

His keen eyes bloomed, looking in all directions through the sea water dyed red with blood.

Countless crab soldiers and generals, led by a third-order monster crab king, launched an attack on islands of all sizes.

On the island, the strong men of the Ringhead Turtle Clan are defending their territory, and they are likely to fight to the death without retreating.

Although there is a huge disparity in numbers, these islands have been integrated into the grand formation because they have been under control for many years. Therefore, the strong men of the ring-headed turtle clan can use the power of the formation to extract the spiritual energy and rotate offense and defense.

For a while, it was fairly balanced.

However, in Luo Chen's view, the balance of power is decreasing, and the balance of victory is constantly tilting.

After paying attention for a while, Luo Chen showed a look of pity on his face.

"I'm afraid these three islands will also fall."

He could clearly see that the ring-headed turtle clan had a large formation, but there seemed to be very few strong men who could command the formation like an arm.

Because of the absolute numerical gap, collapse is inevitable.

Unless the tribe's Xuanyan Island sends support.

But support?

Luo Chen did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness, for fear of attracting the attention of beings with stronger spiritual souls than him.

But his excellent eyes allow him to see extremely far.

In the sight, several huge demonic clouds flew towards Xuanyan Island.

Those who can control the demonic clouds are at least second-level demonic beasts.

To be able to control such a huge demon cloud, there must be a third-level demon king sitting inside.

This is the third level demon king sent by the ring-headed turtle clan to support them.

However, before they even got close to the three islands that were being attacked, more than a dozen escaping lights suddenly flew out from nearby and attacked the huge monster cloud.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out!

The battle situation also came to an end after just half a cup of tea.

When the five royal clans and demon crabs join forces and wait for work, how can they allow reinforcements to easily enter the battle?

After a while, the few rays of light that survived the battlefield outside the island were forced to retreat towards Xuanyan Island.

On the three island battlefields, the sounds of fighting gradually became muted.

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and immediately several escaping lights flew out from the three islands at the same time, trying to break out of the encirclement.

But this time, it was difficult for the strong men of the ring-headed turtle clan to retreat.

Several demon crab kings nearby took action and completely suppressed it back to the battlefield on the island.

"How many times has this happened?"

Such a scene seems so different, as if it was yesterday.

Luo Chen was secretly surprised.

He was not surprised when the five royal clans of demon crabs joined forces. He just thought it would be a fight and a swarm of swarms would be over.

But he didn't expect that the method of breaking the formation would be so well-organized.

Divide and annihilate them, encircle the points to mobilize reinforcements, and advance slowly from the outside in.

The so-called Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation has lost nearly thirty islands, almost half of them, to the continuous encroachment of the Demon Crab!

As long as they win half of it, they will be completely defeated.

At that time, the Demon Crab side only needs to march straight in, and they can enter the thirty-six islands and take the black rocks directly!

"This is definitely not the way a monster fights!"

Luo Chen took a deep breath and a name came to mind.

Gu Shaoshang!

The information Tianxuan gave him at that time was very clear. The Demon King of the Demon Spider Crab clan personally boarded the Feiyunjian Demon Hunting Ship, and when he left, Gu Shaoshang accompanied him.

When he came back, although the other party was alone, he was unharmed.

Not only that, the two parties contacted each other quite frequently afterwards.

what does this mean?

Feiyunjian and the demon crabs in Xuanyan Sea have joined forces!

At the same time, they targeted the ring-headed turtle clan on Xuanyan Island.

In his opinion, perhaps only Gu Shaoshang could manage such a large number of monster crabs in such a neat manner and break the formation without any delay.

Thinking of this person, Luo Chen showed a trace of distress on his face.

In this way, he would not be able to fish in troubled waters and quietly catch a few seriously injured third-level demon crab kings.

If this trip continues like this, it is very likely that he will watch the royal demon crabs return home with a full load, while his hands are empty.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen couldn't help but repeat the name again.

"Gu Shaoshang..."

What are the conditions that allow immortal cultivators and monsters to join forces?

Moreover, isn't that guy afraid that the demon crab will regret it?

With the absolute power gap, Feiyunjian's seven, oh no, six golden elixir monks would definitely not be able to make waves.

……

On an island.

Five demon crab kings exuding powerful auras gathered together.

Suddenly there was a ray of light that broke through the sky.

"It's the Golden Pincer!" Tm!

A body as huge as a hill was thrown to the ground.

Jin Zhao smiled ferociously and said: "Report to the clan leader that the Three Changshou Islands have been captured, and the body of Huan Shou, the leader of the formation, is here."

Looking at the huge turtle corpse, Jin Hun nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done, please go down and rest first. I'll need your help later when we attack the Thirty-Six Islands."

"This corpse?"

"Whatever you kill will naturally belong to you."

Jin Qiao chuckled, glanced at the other four demons, and returned triumphantly.

As his provocative gaze swept over them, the expressions of the heads of the four crab clans couldn't help but change.

After he left, Chi Yan sneered: "Jin Hun, your clan's golden pincers are getting more and more arrogant!"

Jiuzhao also snorted coldly, "Ignorant boy, do you really think that we are too old and frail to be his opponent?"

Zhu Xiang of the Demon Spider Crab clan did not speak, but looked at Jin Zha's leaving figure with a bit of envy in his eyes.

The King Crab clan is full of strong men.

The combat power of this golden pincer is almost as strong as that of the five major clan chiefs.

It can be said that he is already the unofficial leader of the next generation of the Overlord Crab clan. In comparison, the Demon Spider Crab clan is somewhat inactive.

Xiaoqi...

Jin Hun did not respond to the provocation of the two demons, but said quietly: "The outer thirty-six islands have basically been taken. Next is the inner thirty-six islands, which will definitely be a hard battle."

Green sleeves nodded, "The essence of the Xuanyan Ring-headed Turtle clan is all entrenched in the thirty-six islands. A hard battle is inevitable. However, with the help of fellow Taoist Gu, it will be a matter of time before the formation is destroyed and the islands are destroyed. Brother Jin, you don’t have to worry so much.”

Jin Hun shook his head, "Of course I'm not worried about this. I'm thinking about another thing at the moment."

When he said this, his eyes were connected with Zhu Xiang, the leader of the Demon Spider Crab clan.

"Xiang Zhu, we demons and human cultivators have joined forces to deal with the Ring-headed Turtle. If word of this gets out, I'm afraid the reputation of the Black Rock Demon Crab will be ruined in the North Sea."

Zhu Xiang remained silent.

The other three demons also reacted immediately.

Borrowing Gu Shaoshang's hand to break the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation and obtain the Xuanyan treasures was for the future of their five royal families.

But if the reputation of the five royal families becomes bad within the Demon Clan, even if the Demon Crab King does appear in the future, life will not be easy.

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Xiang.

half an hour.

Only then did the old words come out from Zhu Xiang's mouth.

"Cooperation is just to get what we need."

"When we attack Xuanyan Island, it is also the day when our cooperation ends."

"At that time, there will be no ally Gu Shaoshang. All we will have is Gu Shaoshang, the demon who invaded the Xuanyan Sea and brutally massacred fellow demons."

"We will punish this generation together!"

After hearing this, everyone showed a satisfied smile on their faces.

At this moment, a sword light came through the sky.

Flying sword to pass the book?

Jin Hun reached out and took the small sword, and a message came out from it.

Before he finished reading, a look of shock and anger appeared on his face.

"The human cultivators are indeed cunning and despicable!"

……

A monster-hunting ship sailed away from the black rock waters at an extremely fast speed thanks to the strong wind.

Looking back at the sea area, the girl Gu Xiaolian asked the young man beside her doubtfully.

"Brother, isn't the cooperation over yet?"

Gu Shaoshang smiled and said: "I have given them the method of breaking the formation. As for how to implement it later, it depends on them. After all, it is impossible for me, a human cultivator, to always be in charge."

This is true, after all, the name is not justified.

Gu Xiaolian suddenly realized.

But when her eyes fell on the monster hunting boat, the piles of ring-headed turtle carcasses stacked up like a mountain, she was still a little puzzled.

"In the past few months, we have harvested hundreds of second-order ring-headed turtle carcasses and five third-order ring-headed turtle carcasses. Although the number is large, it is still less than half the number of nine turtles required by my father. This requires How do I explain this to my father?"

In response, the smile on Gu Shaoshang's face gradually faded.

"Don't worry, I will handle the matter personally."

Gu Xiaolian was stunned.

"Brother, could it be that you..."

Gu Shaoshang nodded, "That battlefield is too dangerous, and we are alone and helpless. There is no guarantee that they will not betray their trust. You go first, and I will go back to collect the goods included in the cooperation."

"But you're the only one, brother?" Gu Xiaolian looked worried.

Gu Shaoshang sneered and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if I am not their opponent, some people wearing fur and armor, but with the means given by my father, they won't be able to keep me if I leave."

Gu Feiyun, the owner of Feiyunjian, is the genuine Nascent Soul Master!

With the means he gave me, even a third-level demon king would have nothing to do but myself.

This is also where Gu Shaoshang's confidence lies.

After instructing several junior brothers to take care of Gu Xiaolian and transport the cargo back to Feiyun Stream, Gu Shaoshang jumped up, turned into a ray of light, and dived back into the black rock sea again.

……

half a month later.

On a huge island, fighting and fighting are the only melody at this moment.

Large numbers of low-level demon crabs landed from the sea and surrounded the island from all directions.

The seven demon crab kings of the Red Rock Clan, headed by them, all took action to attack the strong ring-headed turtle sitting here.

The war became more intense.

Perhaps knowing that it was a matter of life and death, the Ring-headed Turtle's resistance became more intense and they began to desperately extract the earth's spiritual energy.

Even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, with the support of the large formation, they were still able to compete with the strong men of the Red Rock Crab clan.

Evenly matched?

Yes, from the initial defeat, to now we are evenly matched.

Such a strange change was not only due to the desperate resistance of the ring-headed turtles, but also related to the chaotic command of the demon crabs.

Before, they were fighting together, but now, the five royal clans have returned to fighting as a single clan.

In order to prevent being tricked by others, they could only form an army as a single clan.

But in this way, without the cooperation between the five demon crabs' different abilities, the battle becomes more and more difficult.

The scope of the battle began to expand.

From the island to the sea, the demonic energy is majestic and turbulent.

Such a scene is not limited to this big island, but is also true in other directions.

A place on the sea!

boom!

With a loud noise, a huge red rock crab crashed into the sea.

It fell.

Died at the hands of a third-level ring-headed turtle.

As soon as the body entered the sea, fire broke out.

The third-level demon king of the ring-headed turtle clan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"I actually want to blow myself up, but fortunately..."

Under the sea, Luo Chen stirred up a fiery miasma, blocking the perception of the outside world, and touched the body of this third-order red rock crab with his hands.

"Good luck!"

"The first two times, I was asked to sneak attack, but this time I missed one. Although it is dead, the carapace of the third-level demon king can be used as medicine even if it is dead."

Overjoyed, he put the body into the storage ring.

Looking up, he saw the ring-headed turtle with a thick shell through the scorching fire.

The ring-headed turtle demon king who walks the path of the mysterious turtle!

Moreover, he is seriously injured. Do you want to...

Just when he hesitated, his pupils suddenly shrank.

In the void, a figure suddenly appeared. With one hand holding it, silk threads from all directions strangled it.

In just an instant, the ring-headed turtle demon king who was caught off guard was killed.

As he gathered his remaining body, the figure's gaze also fell under the sea.

For a moment, the man frowned slightly.
