The road is vague

Chapter 318 Sea King Beast

Through Zhang Xiuning, Li Mo finally gained a basic understanding of the place.

Although it wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined, at least he could be sure that this wild island was safe for the time being.

As for worrying that this so-called wild island is actually a cannibalistic island that drifted from the forbidden sea and may disappear at any time, that is completely unnecessary.

After all, this ancient teleportation array existed in the medieval period and has a history of at least several thousand years, which is enough to ensure the safety of this so-called wild island.

After learning about the situation here, Li Mo immediately expressed his desire to stay on Xiaozhen Island temporarily and try to integrate into the community.

"This is so great!"

However, upon hearing this, Zhang Xiuning immediately showed excitement.

"There are about thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators on Little Treasure Island, but not a single one has yet become a Golden Core cultivator. This is why they have become the target of bullying by the evil cultivators of Great Treasure Island. With your strength, if you were willing to join Little Treasure Island, you would surely achieve great things in the future..."

The survival situation of the unaffiliated cultivators can be described as extremely difficult.

Although there is no need to worry about being besieged by the gods on this remote island in the sea, the lack of spiritual veins makes cultivation extremely difficult. One can only make up for the lack of spiritual energy in the world by constantly consuming spirit stones. However, as one's cultivation level increases, spirit stones are ultimately just a temporary measure.

Nobody knows where the way out is.

"Please wait here for a moment, fairy, while I tidy myself up!"

"Fairy?"

Zhang Xiuning paused for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and shook her head.

"You mainlanders have such nice names for each other."

Li Mo was taken aback, but couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

He then manipulated the array plate and arrived at a mountaintop shrouded by the Six Calamities and Six Tribulations Extinction Array. He looked at the twisted plant and revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Evil God Grass?"

This plant, which resembles a twisted cactus, seems to have remained unchanged after these days of growth. Under its green thorns, there are still many wriggling heads, which look rather ominous and unsettling.

According to Zhang Xiuning.

The Evil God Grass is one of the four great calamities in the seas near the Lost Continent.

These evil herbs grow naturally and appear out of nowhere.

The ethereal Blood Dragon Clan, dragons, and deities of various regions will immediately eradicate the Evil God Grass once they discover it.

Some savages who couldn't resist the temptation, and humans who were tired of being domesticated, would attempt to perform blood sacrifices on it, and after swallowing the fruit, they would transform into so-called evil gods.

These humans who become evil gods often grow to enormous sizes and wield extraordinary powers.

It is precisely because each of the evil god grasses has the potential to cause bloodshed and chaos that it is considered one of the four great calamities of the Lost Seas.

Without a sound, the true demon's clone appeared.

Its gray-white eyes glanced at the so-called evil god grass, seemingly sensing whether its demonic bloodline could be compatible with this strange characteristic. After all, the characteristic of demons is to perfectly integrate various properties, thereby forming a near-sacred filth.

After getting a positive answer.

It immediately gathered up the corpses of the crab-legged, human-bodied evil god cultists that had been killed earlier and threw them next to the evil god grass.

"The human beings here live in such a difficult situation that if we leave the Four Treasures Sea in the future, we may need to have a clone outside and our main body hidden in the Misty Dreamland."

For Li Mo, the so-called true demon clone was actually an external incarnation.

Both share the Seven Apertures Returning to Origin Technique's divine sense; one represents rationality, and the other represents the subconscious. In essence, there is no distinction between primary and secondary; it's simply a matter of who summons whom.

While Li Mo was pondering this...

With the blood replenishment, the countless ghost faces inside the evil god grass began to writhe wildly, seemingly vying for the blood absorbed by the roots.

But that's clearly not enough.

"The main body needs to breathe and adjust its state to its peak, which will take about half a year. During this period, with the great formation and puppets protecting it, there is no need to worry about safety. It would be better to let the clone go outside for a stroll, on the one hand to adapt to the environment here, and on the other hand to make some plans for the future."

Think so.

Li Mo returned to his cave and activated the Composite Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array and the Ethereal Spirit Eye Array. The surging spiritual energy quickly gathered in the small secret room and was rapidly transformed into lightning, forming a lightning pool that continuously emitted crackling sounds.

The true demon clone, which bore a seven-tenths resemblance to the original, blinked once, its gray-white eyes returning to human form. With a slightly sinister expression, it returned to Zhang Xiuning's side and gave her a slight smile.

"Fairy, shall we go?"

"it is good."

The four wild islands in the Sibao Sea area are Xiaozhen Island, Dabao Island, Coral Island, and Caibei Island.

Since these are all wild islands without spiritual veins, they will not appear on any sea charts. Their approximate location can only be obtained through word of mouth among the local wild cultivators.

along the way.

Occasionally, small islands will appear on the sea, but the vast majority of them are barren.

No one would dare to land on these wild islands unless absolutely necessary, lest they be swallowed up by the cannibal islands and disappear along with them.

After flying for about half a day.

The true demon clone clearly felt that it was too far away from the main body and couldn't help but want to return to the ethereal dream. After trying to suppress this discomfort, it noticed a battle taking place in the sea ahead and immediately stopped with Zhang Xiuning.

"It's an iron ore ship from Black Sand Island!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiuning's face immediately turned angry, and she flew towards the battlefield.

The True Demon Avatar also flew over, and upon getting closer, he discovered that this small warship, which was fifteen zhang long, was less than half the length of a standard warship of the Great Qian Kingdom. It was floating in the air at a low altitude of seven or eight zhang above the sea and was entangled by two chains.

At the other end of the chain was a giant deep-sea fish, far larger than the warship.

A large number of monsters with human upper bodies and demon lower bodies climbed up the chains onto the warship and fought a fierce battle with the cultivators and soldiers on board.

The vast majority of both sides were only at the Qi Refining stage, with only a few at the Foundation Establishment stage, which was insignificant in the eyes of the True Demon clone.

These monsters are undoubtedly evil followers of the Thunder Origin Cult.

The True Demon Avatar focused its attention more on the humans fighting desperately on the warship. Although most of them were Qi Refining stage cultivators, there were also some martial artists who were also fighting desperately. The goods being transported on the ship were simply a large amount of cheap iron ore.

"Could it be that this place is extremely lacking in the essence of various metals?"

With this in mind, the True Demon Avatar looked at the Qi Refining cultivators on the warship who were fighting desperately. The vast majority of them did not use any magical artifacts, which further confirmed his guess.

However, since Zhang Xiuning had already joined the battle, the True Demon clone could no longer remain a spectator.

Unfortunately, being a demon, most of its methods were too conspicuous. The only way for it to maintain Li Mo's human form was to continuously release Asura Demon Fire.

The black flames instantly turned several cultists to ashes, causing the humans who were fighting desperately on the deck to look up in awe.

"Humph!"

A cultist covered in fish scales, with fins and a tail on his back and a serrated spike on his head, let out a cold snort from a hundred feet away.

The seawater suddenly formed a whirlpool, and then a seawater tentacle stretched out and slapped towards Li Mo. Upon seeing this, Li Mo immediately dodged with agile movements.

boom!
The tentacles slammed into the sea, creating a terrifying impact that sent water droplets flying everywhere, like a torrential downpour.

Seeing the seawater tentacle reach out again, this time the true demon clone flew higher into the sky while summoning Asura Demon Fire, which surged towards the seawater tentacle.

The black flames landed on the water-attribute spell, but instead of being extinguished by the seawater, they quickly polluted and eroded it, turning it into a blackish-gray color before disintegrating and collapsing, turning into seawater.

The cultists from afar were taken aback by this sight.

It suddenly lowered its head, and the serrated spikes on its head shot out with incredible speed, but the true demon clone easily dodged it. The next moment, it strode wildly to the cultist and shot out another wisp of Asura Demon Fire.

"What kind of demonic fire is this, ah..."

He let out a shrill scream, and no amount of water-attribute magic could destroy him.

The black demonic fire quickly burned through his prized fish scales, causing him unbearable pain. He immediately disregarded everything and plunged headlong into the sea.

Just as the demon avatar was about to give chase, it saw the giant fish, which was tens of feet long, suddenly slap its tail.

Boom!
A water column, comparable to a high-level spell, shot into the sky.

Li Mo was taken aback and hurriedly dodged, only to discover that there was no spiritual power in the water column; it was merely a brute force attack from the giant sea fish.

"Could this be a savage beast from the sea?"

Just as Li Mo was secretly speculating, due to the addition of the True Demon Avatar and Zhang Xiu Ning, these evil followers of the Thunder Origin Cult jumped back to the surface of the sea, landed on the giant fish, and quickly dived into the seabed and disappeared.

Zhang Xiuning flew to Li Mo's side, her expression one of gritted teeth.

"This is a sea monster controlled by Venerable Lei Yuan's Heart-Devouring Thunder!"

The term "Sea King Beast" is clearly a way of referring to the savage beasts of the sea.

However, compared to the Sea King Beast, Li Mo was clearly more interested in the Heart-Devouring Thunder that Venerable Lei Yuan had mentioned.

"Heart-Devouring Thunder?"

Zhang Xiuning sighed.

"After obtaining the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book, Venerable Lei Yuan continuously performed blood sacrifices on this evil spirit, converting a large number of evil believers on the Great Treasure Island, establishing the Lei Yuan Sect, and advancing to the Golden Core stage in just a few years."

At this point, her expression turned slightly serious.

"Then this Venerable Lei Yuan began to cultivate the so-called Heart-Eating Thunder. He was not only able to control these simple-minded and thick-skinned sea monsters, but also controlled a descendant of the ancient demon Xiang Liu, a Golden Core stage Three Kings Serpent, by constantly offering Thunder Spirit materials to this evil spirit."

Li Mo didn't care that the so-called Heart-Eating Thunder could control the tough-skinned, simple-minded Sea King Beast.

But when he heard that the evil spirit of this so-called Dark Thunder Heavenly Book could control the descendants of ancient demons by constantly offering thunder spirit materials to it, his pupils shrank and his face showed surprise.

"The Ancient Scripture Stele and the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book are quite interesting. I wonder if, as my cultivation level increases, this so-called Dark Thunder Heavenly Book will be able to control the remnant lineage of a Nascent Soul stage demon."

Just as Li Mo was lost in thought, the strong Foundation Establishment cultivator on duty on the ship flew over.

"Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Zhang, for your timely rescue!"

Say it.

The dark-skinned man, who wore only an apron around his waist, looked at Li Mo with surprise.

"I wonder who this fellow Taoist is?"

"This is Fellow Daoist Li Mo, who just fled from the mainland. Thanks to his help this time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been in trouble too... alas."

Upon hearing this, the man's face immediately showed surprise, and his gaze towards Li Mo became more affectionate.
