LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 268: Parting ways
Two years later, deep in the Ink Sea.
The sky was filled with low leaden clouds and heavy rain. From time to time, a dazzling flash of lightning flashed through the clouds. Rumbling thunder resounded through the world, as if a giant hammer was hitting the black clouds heavily. The sea was windy and rough, and the light black sea water was surging and surging.
A three-meter-long gray whale came from a distance and swam to the depths of the sea at an astonishing speed. Its wide dorsal fin pierced through the waves and wind, leaving a clear track behind it.
"Evil beast, don't run!"
An angry shout broke through the rain curtain, followed by three bright escape lights across the sky, chasing the giant whale relentlessly. The storm that seemed to overturn the world had no effect on them.
Suddenly, the speed of one of the green escape lights suddenly increased, as if it had merged with the strong wind between heaven and earth, and flew towards the giant whale along the wind, instantly shortening the distance with the giant whale.
The monk in the escaping light raised his hand and swung it. A green flag flew out and stopped above the giant whale. It rose to a height of about ten feet. Hundreds of green wind blades rushed out and shot at the giant whale.
The gray giant whale's black eyes were full of fear. It showed an agile posture that was inconsistent with its huge body. It suddenly turned to the side and avoided half of the wind blades.
But most of the wind blades still slashed him, leaving hundreds of wounds. Blood gushed out and soon dyed the giant whale's back red.
But the next moment, a faint gray light lit up at the wound, and the bleeding stopped. These wounds quickly healed and soon turned into shallow scars.
The monk in the green escaping light sneered: "Yuan Mou wants to see how long your immortal body can last!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the giant whale dodged the wind blade, the other two escaping lights also caught up, surrounded the giant whale in the middle, and two figures appeared, which were Chen Yuan and Li Luo.
Chen Yuan pointed his finger, and the golden dragon swords around him slashed out, transformed into a three-clawed golden dragon, and pounced on the gray whale.
Li Luo raised his hand and grabbed it, and a big knife appeared out of thin air in his hand, rushing towards the giant whale.
Yuan Lang changed the spell in his hand, and hundreds of wind blades gushing out of the green banner condensed into a huge wind blade three feet long, and slashed down.
Facing the attack of three people, the gray whale let out a long cry of grief and anger, and rushed towards Li Luo with its head down.
Li Luo's face changed, and he quickly dodged to the side.
The giant whale was huge and powerful, and even if he used the secret technique of physical cultivation, he could not resist it.
The gray whale rushed out a way, but the wind blade also slashed his body, leaving a huge wound, deep into the body of the giant whale, and even the wriggling internal organs could be seen.
The momentum of the three-clawed golden dragon was far more amazing than the silent wind blade. It bit down, but it only tore a piece of flesh the size of a millstone from the back of the giant whale, and its power was far less than that of the wind blade.
The gray whale uttered a painful whine, and then a faint gray light lit up. The fatal injury caused by the wind blade was miraculously healed without leaving any trace.
This is the immortal body, a natural magical power that only monsters with strong blood can possess. The self-healing ability is amazing. As long as the demon power is not exhausted, it is extremely difficult to kill.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the giant whale finally escaped from the encirclement of the three people and fled far away.
But Yuanlang showed a happy expression: "The demon power of this beast is about to be exhausted, Fellow Daoist Chen, act quickly!"
Chen Yuan's expression became serious, raised his hand and grabbed it, and the wind and cloud bell appeared. Then he pointed at it, and the true essence surged out. The wind and cloud bell trembled slightly. The next moment, the huge body of the gray whale suddenly froze in place.
Yuanlang and Li Luo surrounded it again, and the long sword and wind blade slashed down like a storm, leaving countless wounds on the gray whale.
The gray whale wailed, and the gray light on the wound became dimmer and dimmer, and the wound healed slower and slower.
But from beginning to end, the gray whale did not fight back. It just used the innate magical power of the immortal body to delay time.
Since it was born with spiritual intelligence, it has been practicing silently in the sea and eating sea creatures for a living.
It does not like to fight with people, but only wants to swim in the sea.
It quietly avoids cultivators when it encounters them, and does not even make enemies with other monsters. If it is targeted by others, it relies on the innate talent of the immortal body to escape, and has turned danger into safety several times.
But this time, it can't escape.
The gray whale became dying under the siege of Chen Yuan and the other two, and its black eyes were full of fear.
Finally, Yuanlang condensed into a huge wind blade three feet long, deeply shot into the body of the giant whale, and cut off its vitality.
After the death of the gray whale, its huge body slowly sank into the sea.
Li Luo put away the long knife, flew into the sea, held the body of the giant whale with both hands, and flew into the air.
The rainstorm hit the back of the giant whale, mixed with the blood gushing out of the giant whale's wound, splashing strange blood flowers.
Yuan Lang put away the green flag and breathed a sigh of relief: "The Canghai whale is really difficult to deal with. We chased it for a day and a night, and finally didn't let it escape."
Li Luo held the giant whale's body and smiled: "The Canghai whale is fierce, but this Canghai whale just relied on its immortal body to resist, which made us pick up an advantage."
Yuan Lang smiled and said: "This monster is cowardly, which really wastes the strong blood of the Canghai whale. I don't know how much fat can be cut from this monster."
At this point, he turned to Chen Yuan and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I still need to trouble you to take out the demon pill of this monster."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, pointed a point, and the three-clawed golden dragon showed its original form. With a flash of sword light, the golden dragon sword pierced into the gray giant whale and took out a fist-sized gray demon pill.
The Canghai Whale is a kind of monster with strong bloodline in the monster race. A level 5 Canghai Whale can even rival a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan.
When the three met the gray whale, they actually had no intention of killing it, but they didn't expect that the gray whale just kept running away and never counterattacked. The three chased it for hundreds of miles and finally killed it.
The gray whale never attacked the three people from beginning to end, but they couldn't let go of the level 5 monster that was within their reach, especially the Canghai Whale, a monster with strong bloodline, and they didn't show any mercy.
In the world of immortal cultivation where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, there is no room for mercy.
After Chen Yuan took out the demon pill, he cut off the dorsal fin of the gray whale.
Yuanlang cut off the fat in the giant whale's body. This thing can be refined into whale oil, which can be used as lamp oil for the natal Yuan lamp, which is extremely precious.
In addition to Li Luo holding the body of the gray whale, Chen Yuan and Yuan Lang worked for a long time and finally collected all the monster materials on the gray whale.
Yuan Lang finally cut off 300 kilograms of yellow fat from the gray whale, which was as smooth and crystal as jade, a trembling ball as big as a carriage.
Yuan Lang and Li Luo smiled. This ball of fat can be refined into 3 kilograms of whale oil, which is more precious than the demon pill of the sea whale.
Li Luo threw it hard, and the gray whale was swallowed up by the sea silently.
At this time, the storm had stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, the violent sea returned to calm, the sun sprinkled bits of gold, the sea surface was sparkling, and an illusory rainbow hung in the sky.
The demon pill, fat cream, dorsal fin and other items of the gray giant whale were suspended in front of Chen Yuan and the other two. Yuan Lang glanced at Li Luo and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, the immortal body of this Canghai whale is extremely difficult to deal with. Thanks to your Fengyun Bell, which can attack the soul, it didn't escape."
"It stands to reason that the Canghai whale fat cream should be shared with you, but this ball of fat cream is too big. If it is all shared with you, Brother Li and I will suffer a little..."
"How about this, the demon pill, dorsal fin, whale whiskers and other items of the Canghai whale belong to you, and Brother Li and I will share this ball of fat cream. What do you think?"
After saying this, he stared at Chen Yuan closely, his eyes a little nervous.
Demon pills are often the most precious things on monsters. They can be used to refine tools and cultivate spirit pets. The essence and blood in them can be mixed into spirit liquid to make talismans, and can even be used to refine some strange pills, which are more valuable than other monster materials.
But the Canghai Whale Blubber Cream is different. The whale oil refined from it can be used as lamp oil for the natal Yuan lamp, which is a must for all clans and families.
Although the Canghai Whale Demon Pill is precious, it is inferior to the blubber cream.
According to this distribution method, Chen Yuan will suffer some losses.
Yuanlang can exchange some elixirs from the Righteous Alliance with the blubber cream to help break through the bottleneck and reach the middle stage of the Dan Jie realm. He is determined to get it.
But he is a little worried that Chen Yuan will not agree to such a distribution. In the past two years, the three have been hunting monsters in the Mohai Sea. Together with this Canghai Whale, a total of four level 5 monsters have been hunted, which is a great harvest.
Chen Yuan has two magic weapons, and the Fengyun Bell is a rare magic weapon that can directly attack the soul. It is very useful when hunting monsters. As long as the monsters targeted by the three people, none of them escape.
Yuanlang and Li Luo only have one magic weapon, and they have to rely on Chen Yuan to help. In the past two years, they dare not deduct the monster materials that should be distributed to Chen Yuan, and the distribution is quite fair.
Chen Yuan played a great role in the hunting of the Canghai Whale. If he raised any objections, Yuan Lang would have no choice but to give up.
After all, Chen Yuan had two magic weapons in his hands. Even if he and Li Luo wanted to turn against each other, they would not have much chance of winning.
As long as Chen Yuan was not dead, their reputations would be ruined. They would never invite others to join forces to hunt monsters again.
Li Luo remained silent. Before, Yuan Lang helped him get three water ape fruits, so now he naturally had to support Yuan Lang.
To Yuan Lang's surprise, Chen Yuan did not have any opinions. He just smiled and put away the gray demon pill, dorsal fin, whale whiskers and other things, leaving only the huge fat.
Yuan Lang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly divided the fat into two halves and put away his own portion.
He bowed to Chen Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is so kind. I thank you. The next time I hunt a monster, I will not take a penny. All the things I get will belong to Fellow Daoist Chen and Brother Li."
"No need to do that. I have something to say." Chen Yuan said indifferently, "I have been hunting monsters with you two for three years and have gained a lot. I want to sell the monster pills and monster materials in my hands and find a place to practice in seclusion. I will say goodbye now and see you later."
When the two heard this, they were all stunned and looked at each other. Yuan Lang laughed dryly twice: "Fellow Daoist Chen, why do you say that?"
Chen Yuan said, "All good things must come to an end. If there is a chance in the future, I will hunt monsters with you two fellow Daoists again. "
Yuan Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the fat of the Canghai Whale?"
He took out his share of fat from the mustard ring, cut off a small half, raised his hand and waved it to Chen Yuan: "I did a bad job on this matter. Fellow Daoist Chen has made great efforts this time, otherwise the Canghai Whale would not have been kept. Please accept this piece of fat."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly and returned the fat to Yuan Lang: "Fellow Daoist Yuan has misunderstood. Over the past three years, the distribution of the monster hunting has been very fair. I have no dissatisfaction. This time I really need to practice in seclusion and can no longer cooperate with the two fellow Daoists."
Yuan Lang took the fat and his face was quite ugly.
Li Luo sighed, bowed to Chen Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Since Fellow Daoist Chen has decided to leave, I can't say anything more. I can only wish you smooth sailing. "
Chen Yuan returned the greeting, turned around and fled away, and soon disappeared.
Li Luo said in a deep voice: "Brother Yuan, let's go."
Yuan Lang was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Well, the road of cultivation still depends on oneself. No matter how good Chen Daoyou's Fengyun Bell is, it is someone else's property after all."
"This time when I go back, I will attack the bottleneck of the middle stage. If I can successfully break through, I can enter the sea of ten thousand monsters."
...
After Chen Yuan parted with Li Luo and Yuan Lang, he flew dozens of miles in the direction of the Blood Island, and suddenly changed direction and flew to the west.
In the past two years, the three of them would rush back to the Blood Island to repair every once in a while, and at the same time sell the monster materials and monster pills in their hands.
Chen Yuan took the opportunity to buy thousands of fifty-year-old, eighty-year-old, and hundred-year-old spiritual herbs of various types, including all the formulas of the monster Yuandan below level eight left by the old man Dan Jue.
As long as he can get the corresponding monster pill, he can start refining the pill.
Through hunting monsters together with Li Luo and Yuan Lang, he has become very familiar with the Mohai, and it is just a waste of time to go with the two.
Even if Yuan Lang did not take the initiative to speak, he would have divided the cream between the two and then said goodbye and left.
For the past three years, Chen Yuan has been thinking about how to lure monsters. He has some ideas, but they still need to be verified.
He escaped thousands of miles and came to an island where a group of level 4 bird monsters were entrenched. He killed the monsters casually and opened a cave on the island to meditate and practice to restore his true essence.
A day later, Chen Yuan's true essence was fully restored. He took out a jade bottle, bit his tongue with a little force, spit out a few drops of blood, and put them into the jade bottle.
The power of the Zhoutian stars in his body has been absorbed by his body. If he only actively emits his breath, he can only attract monsters that sense his breath, and the range is narrow.
And his blood and essence also contain the power of the Zhoutian stars, and also contain a trace of thin Zhuyan's true blood, which is no less than a natural treasure for monsters. It can strengthen the blood of the body and blood, and it is easier to attract monsters than simply emitting breath.
There are records in ancient books that monsters absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to temper their bodies.
But for some reason, this method of cultivation has been lost.
Nowadays, monsters can only use spiritual energy to warm their bodies, and can no longer absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
But the essence of the sun and the moon still has a great attraction to monsters, which is why monsters go crazy when they see Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan came to the shore and set up a low-level spiritual formation bought from the Blood Island Market. He tilted the jade bottle slightly, poured a drop of blood essence into the sea, spread his consciousness, and waited quietly.
