Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 153 Seafood Army
Cancer Islands.

The archipelago got its name because its shape resembles a big crab. Of course, this is outdated. Nowadays, when people mention the name Cancer Islands, they will think of General Golden Claw.

A great demon in the late stage of level 3 can definitely be regarded as a hegemon in this area, especially General Golden Claws. It is said that he got a chance and possessed a pair of indestructible golden claws, so he changed his name to General Golden Claws.

General Jinzhao has a son who has grown to the peak of level 2 in just a hundred years. For a monster, growing to the peak of level 2 in a hundred years is definitely a gifted talent.

In terms of cultivation speed, monsters are far inferior to humans, but monsters rely on the blood in their bodies to grind over time little by little, while human cultivators, once they encounter a bottleneck that they cannot break through, they may stop there for the rest of their lives.

"Master Jin, I have just obtained a few delicate human women, and would like to ask you to evaluate them." In a stone palace on Cancer Island, a turtle standing up like a human was flatteringly talking to a figure that looked like a human but was covered with a crab shell.

"Oh, then hurry up and go."

The figure covered with crab shell heard this and said with a look of joy on his face.

This is General Jin Zha's most proud offspring, Jin Shijian. His strange appearance is due to taking the Transformation Pill. Monsters below level 4 cannot transform, but if they take the Transformation Pill, they can change their body shape in advance. However, using the Transformation Pill, they cannot perfectly transform into a human.

Unless it is a top-grade transformation pill, let alone a top-grade transformation pill, even an ordinary transformation pill is not something that everyone can get. Jin Shijian was able to get a low-grade transformation pill only because of his father.

"Master Jin, please come this way!"

The big turtle took Jin Shijian to an island where sea monsters enjoyed themselves. There were many things from the human world of immortal cultivation here. Those monsters looked down on the fragile humans, but they were very yearning for human things.

"Okay, you go down."

Jin Shijian looked at the human women who were brought up and his eyes lit up. They were indeed rare treasures.

"Yes!"

The big turtle bowed, then stepped back.

Then, the big turtle came to a room and whispered, "Sir, I have completed the task you ordered."

"Well, go down. You should know the rules." An indifferent voice came from the room. Then, the big turtle felt that there was something extra in his hand, which was a few blue pearls. Seeing this, the big turtle bowed excitedly and retreated.

"The bait has been put out. Now it depends on whether Jin Shijian dares to go there." Xuanshui Zhenren's eyes were calm in the room. He quietly captured several human women from the Hongshan Islands and sent them here to attract Jin Shijian's arrival. Afterwards, the other party would inadvertently hear the news that there were level 3 water veins in the Hongshan Islands.

Nowadays, the ownerless level 3 water veins have long disappeared, all of them have been occupied by those powerful sea monsters. If Jin Shijian wants to step into the level 3, he must have a level 3 spiritual land.

On Cancer Island, there is only one Level 3 spiritual place of high quality, and that is the cave of General Jinzhao. Although Jin Shijian is General Jinzhao's most favored offspring, it is impossible for him to let General Jinzhao give up the spiritual vein.

Spiritual land is the foundation of spiritual practice, especially for monsters that cannot make elixirs or set up formations. The importance of spiritual land is self-evident. Only by staying in the spiritual land can the monsters grow quickly.

Growth for monsters is equal to the improvement of strength. Before reaching the upper limit of bloodline, monsters can rely on spirit veins to accelerate growth, and there will be no bottlenecks during this period until the potential of bloodline is exhausted. This also means that the strength of monsters is basically fixed. It is extremely difficult to break the upper limit of bloodline, unless you encounter a great opportunity.

For example, General Jin Claws, because of the pair of golden claws, his bloodline potential was improved to a small level, making him the overlord of this area.

Thanks to Laozi, Jin Shijian's bloodline potential has also been slightly improved. Therefore, as long as he can find a suitable 3rd-level spiritual land, it will not be difficult for Jin Shijian to enter the 3rd level. It is just a matter of time.

Therefore, for Jin Shijian, a spiritual land is a pass to the third-level demon, especially when that spiritual land is occupied by a traveling human cultivator.

Master Xuanshui is very sure that Jin Shijian will be tempted, and then he can use Cancer Island to get rid of the human golden elixir, which will solve a problem for him.

If the human's golden elixir is powerful and kills Jin Shijian, that would be even better. Then, General Jin Zha could be forced out and the human's golden elixir would also surely die.

"Is there a level 3 water vein occupied by an alien human Jindan cultivator?" Jin Shijian wiped the remaining blood and flesh from the corner of his mouth and seemed particularly concerned about the news he had just heard.

Jin Shijian had started looking for spiritual lands a long time ago, but the good ones had already been taken by owners, so his only choice was to rob them. With the strength of Cancer Island, he could indeed snatch one, but the price would be a war with other powerful demon forces.

At that time, the strength of Cancer Island will be weakened, making other powerful demon forces ready to move. After all, although Cancer Island is strong, it is not invincible.

There are still many powerful monsters whose strength is comparable to that of his father. It will be troublesome if those monsters are involved.

For this reason, Jin Shijian was hesitant to act. In other matters, the big monsters might give in because of General Jinzhao's reputation, but when it came to the spiritual land, there was absolutely no possibility of giving in.

But if you try to rob the spiritual land of a human monk, that would be a different scene, especially since this human monk is a traveling monk from outside and is all alone. He is definitely the easiest target.

Of course, these are just information that Jin Shijian heard from others. He needs to verify the authenticity of the news first, and he also has to ask his father for help.

Jin Shijian is only at the peak of the second level, and is no match for a human Jindan cultivator. He needs his father to support him with a third-level demon, and then bring the elite warriors of Cancer Island, and he should be able to kill the human Jindan cultivator. In the island environment, the combat power of these sea monsters is far superior to those human cultivators.

"There are too many crabs recently. I'm almost tired of eating them." Gu Mo grabbed a big crab tied up with water plants like a dumpling and threw it to Shi Yuwei.

Since obtaining the entanglement water plants, Gu Mo bought a lot of them and placed them in the waters around the island. Whenever a sea monster approached, it would be trapped by the entanglement water plants, and Gu Mo would come over regularly to collect the seafood.

During this period, many crab sirens came, and Gu Mo had been eating crabs for many days.

"Senior, then Yuwei will give you a different approach."

Shi Yuwei used her magic hairpin to dismantle the tied crab monster. Then, she steamed, fried, boiled, stewed and braised the big crab.

"Not bad, your skills have improved!"

Gu Mo grabbed a crab leg, took a bite and nodded with satisfaction.

"Senior, as long as you like it!"

Hearing Gu Mo's praise, Shi Yuwei's eyes sparkled with joy. After Shi Yuwei began to practice cultivation, Gu Mo stopped her from calling him an immortal. It was nothing for a mortal to call a cultivator an immortal, but letting a cultivator call him an immortal would shorten his lifespan.

Immortals, that is a legendary existence that can change the world and have the power to destroy the world of immortals with a single thought. Of course, these are all biographies that Gu Mo has read from some classics. As for what real immortals are like, no one knows. But it is necessary to maintain awe for the title of immortals.

"Yuwei, a crab has landed on the island, go and take care of it." Gu Mo said to Shi Yuwei who was roasting crab legs seriously.

Gu Mo arranged tangling water plants around the island, but it could not completely prevent the sirens from approaching. For example, if sirens appeared continuously, the sirens in front would be trapped by the tangling water plants, and the sirens behind would be helpless.

At this time, Gu Mo would usually let Shi Yuwei take action to solve the problem. After all, Shi Yuwei was now a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage. She had entered the late Qi Refining stage in such a short period of time. Her cultivation had increased so fast that it would definitely shock a lot of people if it were made public. In addition to Shi Yuwei's own talent and her firm heart to pursue the Tao, the most important thing was that Gu Mo gave her enough elixirs.

Gu Mo made pills for the Hongshan Islands, and he asked for normal prices. However, Gu Mo's low cost and high success rate in making pills made him have a lot of unused 1st and 2nd level pills. He gave all these pills to Shi Yuwei, asking her to pick the flavor she liked.

As for whether eating too much would cause erysipelas, Gu Mo knew the perfect level of cleaning technique, so there was no need to worry at all.

"Yes!"

Shi Yuwei stood up and ran to the beach, where she started fighting with a late-stage Level 1 crab mermaid that had just landed.

After taking a quick look at the battle situation, Gu Mo's gaze turned to the sea area farther away. The number of sirens that appeared in the past few days increased, which was obviously abnormal.

Thinking of the breath of the level 3 siren he had sensed before, Gu Mo felt that the big demon must be preparing to attack here, and these small sirens were most likely outposts.

Gu Mo's guess was very accurate. On a very far reef, a large crab with a hint of gold on its claws was anxiously scratching the rocks beneath it. This was Jin Shijian's true form.

What made Jin Shijian anxious at the moment was that the men he sent out to gather intelligence were all silent, indicating that the human cultivator who occupied the third-level water vein had extraordinary means.

"Young Master, why don't you just do it directly?"

At this time, a huge sea snake emerged from the water, exuding the aura of a level 3 great demon. This was the support that Jin Shijian asked for from his father.

Although this sea snake monster is in the early stage of level 3, it has a terrifyingly poisonous mouth. Even a mid-level level 3 monster would have to retreat in the face of this poison.

"Okay, listen to Uncle Snake."

Jin Shijian nodded. He also knew that such a test was meaningless. After confirming that it was a level 3 water vein, Jin Shijian knew that he must take this level 3 water vein.

No matter how powerful the human golden elixir that occupies this water vein is, it cannot be more difficult to deal with than those sea monsters with backgrounds. Instead of fighting with those big monsters, it would be easier to deal with a human golden elixir without any background.

After saying that, Jin Shijian struck with his claws, and immediately, a large army of crabs lurking on the seabed stood up and rushed towards the distant island.

"With so many crabs, how long will it take to finish them all?"

Gu Mo, who had been using his spiritual sense to explore the distance, soon discovered a large army of crabs rushing towards him with murderous intent. Seeing this, Gu Mo was not at all panicked, but only worried. After all, he had eaten crabs for many days and didn't want to eat them anymore.

“Oh, there’s new seafood!”

At the same time as discovering this army of crabs, Gu Mo also sensed the breath of a level 3 siren. Judging from the breath, this should not be a crab.

No matter whether it is a level 3 siren or an army of crabs, in Gu Mo's eyes, they are all here to deliver food. Unless a level 4 demon king descends on his island, ordinary level 3 demons will not be able to take it down. No matter how many come, they are just delivering food.

Or if several peak level 3 monsters join forces, Gu Mo won't have enough level 3 entangled water plants to restrain them all, which would be a bit risky.

Now an early stage 3 siren, together with a group of crabs, wants to attack Gu Mo's nest. This is definitely too much.

He stood up and casually crushed the crab mermaid that was fighting with Shi Yuwei to death. Gu Mo carried the girl back to the lake in the center of the island and placed her on the leaf of a level 2 water lily.

The lakeside will become a battlefield soon, so Gu Mo naturally cannot leave Shi Yuwei by the lake. However, there are many of Gu Mo's secrets in the lake, and it is not convenient for Shi Yuwei to enter. Therefore, Gu Mo uses a level 2 water lily to create a foothold for Shi Yuwei, allowing the girl to enter the protection range of the formation in the lake.

"senior……"

Shi Yuwei, who was suddenly taken away by Gu Mo, was still a little confused. She felt that she had disappointed her senior by not being able to kill the crab mermaid.

But soon Shi Yuwei was shocked by the sudden emergence of the crab army. The crab mermaids, exuding a murderous aura, landed on the island like a tide and rushed towards the lake.

Among the crab army, there was a large crab with golden claws, and next to it was a huge sea snake. The breath emitted by the sea snake made Shi Yuwei feel extremely frightened.

"It doesn't seem to be the breath of the 3rd level Siren that I sensed before." In the center of the lake, Gu Mo looked at the sea snake. The breath of this sea snake was different from the breath of the 3rd level Siren that he had sensed before.

In addition, the crab with a little golden claws seems a bit special. It might be a mermaid with some background.

But on second thought, no matter whether the mermaid has a background or not, since the other party has come to seize the territory, Gu Mo seems to have no choice but to kill the enemy.

As long as the opponent's background is not a 4th-level demon king, Gu Mo is not afraid. The crab siren and sea snake should not have a 4th-level demon king's background, otherwise they would not come to steal his 3rd-level water veins.

"Master, be careful!"

The 3rd level sea snake monster looked at the 3rd level water lake in front of it that was covered by the formation, and felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Uncle Snake, I know."

Jin Shijian naturally knew that the formation of human monks was a trouble for the sea monster. However, he had so many elite subordinates that he could easily find out the flaws of the formation, and then Uncle Snake beside him would destroy it.

"Ding!"

Jin Shijian knocked his claws, and immediately, the crab army attacked and headed towards the lake ahead. At this moment, streams of emerald green light shot out from the formation, killing the crab mermaid near the lake.
