Immortality Begins with the Master of Alchemy

Chapter 552: Destroying 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 Xuan Snake Pan Gui Wu, 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, 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 any 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 there might be a level gap between the monster groups, but I didn’t expect there would be changes in the future?

The Black King spat out the snake letter and replied: "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 demons 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.”

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

At this moment, I am talking about it, and I feel quite organized and clear.

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.

The black turtle and the cliff snake are both famous ancient monsters in the legends of the mountain and sea world.

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

Mocking 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."

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

I don’t know if this kind of carapace can be used to refine Black Emperor Paste, and what is the effect of refining it?

 But soon, Luo Chen gave up such thoughts.

 The process of refining the Black Emperor Paste using the carapace of the demon crab was completed only after he had prepared in advance and experimented with many auxiliary materials.

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

That would be too much trouble.

 The focus at the moment is not on these trivial matters.

“Black King, Tianxuan, what’s the situation outside now?”

“I’m telling you, Master, the five royal clans of monster crabs have gathered around Xuanyan Island, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and there is a strong tendency to completely annihilate the Ring-headed Turtle clan,” the Black King replied.

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

 He knows that there are a huge number of monster crabs!

  After all, the reproductive capacity of this thing is astonishing, even better than that of the human race, which is famous for its reproductive capacity.

 This is one of the main reasons why he came to the black rock sea 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 thousands of soldiers!

Even if 99% of them are first-order monster crabs that are not worth mentioning, if the number of them increases, 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.

 He used all his strength to inspire Luo Chen, who was hiding in the formation, without leaking any breath, hiding in the turbulent and flowing deep sea.

His keen eyes bloomed with aura, 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 attacks on islands of all sizes.

On the island, the powerful men of the Huanshou 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 their attacks and defenses.

 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.

 “These three islands are probably going to fall too.”

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

 Those who can control the demonic clouds to fly 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 in it.

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.

 How can the five major royal clans and demon crabs join forces and wait for work, so that reinforcements can 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 battlefields of the three islands, the sounds of fighting gradually became muted.

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

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

Several nearby demon crab kings took action together, completely suppressing it and returning it to the island's civil war battlefield.

 “How many times has this happened?”

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

Luo Chen was secretly surprised when he saw it.

He was not surprised that the five royal clans of monster crabs joined forces. He just thought that they would start a fight and be done with it in a swarm.

However, I didn’t expect that the means of breaking the formation would be so well-organized.

 Divide and annihilate them, encircle them and bring reinforcements, and advance slowly from outside to inside.

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 you win half of it, you will be completely defeated.

 At that time, the demon crabs only need to drive straight in, and they can enter the thirty-six islands and take the basalt directly!

“This is definitely not the way a monster fights!”

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

 Gu Shaoshang!

The information Tianxuan gave him at that time was very clear. The Demon King of the Demonic 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 that mean?

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

 Targeting the ring-headed turtle clan on Xuanyan Island together.

In his opinion, perhaps only Gu Shaoshang could manage such a large number of monster crabs in such an orderly 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 monster 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.

When he thought of this, Luo Chen couldn't help but repeat the name again.

 “Gu Shaoshang…”

 What kind of conditions are there that can actually 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 with powerful auras gathered together.

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

  “It’s a golden pincer!”     Tom!

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

Jin Xia 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, you can go down and rest first. I’ll need your help later when we attack the Thirty-Six Islands.”

 “This corpse?”

“The one who kills will be yours.”

Jin Zha chuckled, glanced at the other four demons, and returned proudly.

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

After he left, Chi Yan sneered: "Jin Hun, the golden pincers of your clan 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 back with a bit of envy in his eyes.

 The King Crab clan is full of strong men.

This golden pincer is almost as powerful as the five 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 met the Demonic Spider Crab Clan Leader Zhu Xi's knowingly.

“Xiang Zhu, our demon race and human race immortal cultivators have joined forces to deal with the ring-headed turtle. If this news gets out, I’m afraid the reputation of the basalt demon crab will be ruined in the North Sea.”

 Zhu Xiang remained silent.

 The other three demons also reacted immediately.

With the help of Gu Shaoshang, he broke through the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation and obtained the Xuanyan Relics 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 time, everyone’s eyes fell on Zhu Xiang.

 Half a while.

 The old words came out from Zhu Xiang's mouth.

 “Cooperation is just for everyone to get what they 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, only the demon Gu Shaoshang who invaded the Xuanyan Sea and brutally massacred fellow demons.”

 “This generation, we should punish together!”

Hearing this, everyone showed a satisfied smile on their faces.

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

Feijian passing the book?

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

 Before he finished reading, his face showed a mixture of shock and anger.

“Human immortal cultivators are indeed cunning and despicable!”

 …

 A monster hunting ship sailed out of the black rock sea 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, I cannot always be commanded by a human cultivator."

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

Gu Xiaolian suddenly realized.

But when her eyes fell on the monster hunting boat and 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 to this, the smile on Gu Shaoshang's face gradually faded.

“Don’t worry, I will take care of it myself.”

Gu Xiaolian was stunned.

 “Brother, could it be that you...”

 Gu Shaoshang nodded, "That battlefield is too dangerous, and we are isolated 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 are you alone, 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 real Yuanying Master!

 With the means he gave me, even a third-level demon king would have no choice but to do it himself.

 This is also where Gu Shaoshang’s confidence lies.

After instructing several junior brothers to take good 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 waters 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, led by him, all took action to attack the powerful ring-headed turtle sitting here.

The war thus became intense.

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

Even though they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, with the support of the large formation, they are still on a par with the strong ones of the Red Rock Crab clan.

 Equally matched?

　　Yes, from the initial defeat to a state of equal strength now.

Such a strange change, in addition to the desperate resistance of the ring-headed turtles, is also related to the chaotic command of the demon crabs.

Before, they fought together, but now, the five royal clans of monster crabs have returned to the fighting method of a single clan forming an army.

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

 Just like this, without the cooperation between the five monster 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 evil spirit 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 has fallen.

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

As soon as the body hit the sea, a blaze broke out.

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

 “I actually want to blow myself up, but fortunately...”

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

 “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."

Happily, he put the body into the storage ring.

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

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

 And 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, threads from all directions strangled it.

 In just one moment, 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.
