Chapter 137 The twisted melon is not sweet, but.
The Gale Sea Area is located in the northernmost part of the East China Sea. Further north, you will enter the sea area of Dayan Kingdom. It is exposed to strong winds for half of the year, so few people live there. Instead, it is a paradise for monsters and other sea tribes.
According to the information from a monk passing by here, there is an unnamed island in the sea area, which is the habitat of a small tribe of water bears. It is said that the leader is three water bears with foundation building strength.
Lin Shan came here seven days ago. While all the water bears were hunting and playing in the sea during the day, he and the Black Skeleton Demon Lord secretly placed the formation bases everywhere, and hid at night to collect their aura.
On the afternoon of the eighth day, the formation was almost ready, and the Black Skeleton Demon Lord stretched out his bone hand in front of Lin Shan.
"What?" Lin Shan was confused.
"Five thousand spirit stones." The Black Skeleton Demon Lord still stretched out his hand and stared at him with his dark eyes.
"What do you mean, isn't your move already included in the contract, and you need to pay extra?"
Lin Shan almost jumped. This guy has already cost him 50,000 spiritual stones. It's not over yet?
"No, activating and maintaining the formation requires the consumption of spiritual energy! In this place where birds can't poop, there is no spiritual veins to supply the formation, so we can only make do with spirit stones. Otherwise, what can I give you to activate the formation?"
Lin Shan rubbed the back of his head. At first thought, it seemed to be the same. It was understandable that the formation needed energy to drive it, but using five thousand spirit stones at a time was too much?
"You must be used to staying in the hell world and don't understand the currency system of my world! Do you know the purchasing power of five thousand spiritual stones outside? Do you know that my annual tribute is only more than one thousand spiritual stones? ?”
Of course Lin Shan's body ached. This was equivalent to three years of worship in the sect, and was even comparable to the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill.
If it is consumed like a consumable, it would make everyone feel sad. The average foundation-building monks outside are probably worth only five thousand spirit stones in total!
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord looked indifferent:
"What do you think is the high-level formation that can deal with the foundation building stage, cabbage? There is no such thing as a good thing that can be eaten at a small price. Pay whatever you want!"
No matter what he said in the end, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord firmly told Lin Shan that he was professional in the formation, and five thousand spirit stones was the most cost-effective way to set up the formation after optimization.
In order to sign a contract to summon creatures during the foundation building period, Lin Shan had no choice but to pay for it. He could only hope that this time it would not be wasted. Even though he still has 150,000 spirit stones, he can't afford to spend them like this.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord took out his storage bag and began to place the final formation driver everywhere under Lin Shan's searching eyes.
……
Today is a rare clear day in the windy sea. The water bears on the unknown island have all gone into the sea, leaving only white clouds floating in the sky.
Hidden on one of the clouds is a boy in white and a skeleton companion. Their two heads are peeking down furtively, and they are still communicating with each other.
"After spending so much money this time, our goal is to catch the strongest water bear. We must keep it alive!"
"Don't worry, I am an expert in formations. When they return to the island from the sea, I will find a way to separate them. You can just enter the formation and surrender the target."
"How do you feel about the bone flag I gave you? Do you feel comfortable using it?"
"No problem, I can help you fend off other minions in the Qi training period for a while."
"Look, they're coming back to shore."
……
Bear heads appeared on the sea below. After swimming for a while, they came ashore one after another. It is not difficult to guess that they had eaten and had fun in the sea. After returning to the beach on the island, they started to play.
A rough count showed that there were more than eighty water bears in total, and the three leading ones were all foundation-building stage monsters and should be the leaders of this group.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord waited patiently for half an hour, and finally got one of the water bears involved in the formation in one fell swoop as they were playing around.
At this time, the island was filled with light, and curtains of light rose into the sky, creating a prism world in an instant!
The most powerful leader among the water bears in the foundation-building stage was directly locked into the formation, separated from more than 80 other water bears. Before they could make any move, another vast fog rose from the prism world, and the scene inside was instantly blurred.
The water bears outside were all at a loss and didn't know what was happening.
But after a while, there were sounds of fighting and roaring in the white mist, and their leader was being attacked!
"I have activated the Enemy Enemy, Mystery, and Five Elements arrays. You can enter the array."
The Black Skull Demon Lord urged Lin Shan to act quickly, but Lin Shan calmly looked at the water bear leader in the formation, who was being bombarded by the Five Elements Magic Formation. This power was no worse than the Five Elements Magic Fan he was holding. Where to go.
"Let the formation consume its strength first, and then go down and wait for work."
"It's up to you. Anyway, the longer the time goes by, the more spirit stones will be consumed. It's your money that will be burned, and I don't feel bad about it."
As soon as he heard that the funds were being burned, Lin Shan couldn't sit still and quickly jumped off the "Yunfan Banner".
All the water bears on the island had already rioted. When they heard that their leader was being beaten inside, they were all frantically attacking the formation in front of them. However, the Black Skeleton Demon King has one thing to say: the quality of this formation is indeed excellent.
Being besieged by two other foundation-building stage leaders and more than eighty Qi-training stage demonic beasts, the prism light curtain circulated with ripples of light, but Xie still stood firm.
But Lin Shan feels distressed!
The more fiercely these monsters fight, the money will flow out of his pocket, and naturally it is impossible for them to spend it comfortably.
He took out a handful of red and white beans from his storage bracelet and threw them into the pile of monsters. The "bean soldiers" who landed on the ground turned into tree monsters one by one. These tree demons, with their branches flying around and their rough skin and thick flesh, began to fight hand to hand with the water bears.
Hypericum is a specialty product of Diaobi Island. The Hypericum is famous mainly for its fruit, but its body is not very good at fighting.
However, there are four thousand-year-old peach wood seeds in this batch of "bean soldiers", which is the combat power of four foundation-building dryads, which can barely resist two foundation-building water bears.
The other dryads in the Qi training stage were basically human shields and were knocked around by other water bears. Fortunately, they were strong and could hold their own for a while.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord nestled in the white clouds in the sky waved and showed his white bone flag, and hundreds of skeletons rushed out, forming various patterns under the hands of this legion ancestor.
Skeletons changed into various military formations and cooperated with each other to attack and defend, which actually saved the situation.
Seeing the dryad skeletons and the water bear tribe fighting together outside the formation, and the two sides becoming evenly matched in a short time, Lin Shan felt relieved and entered the formation to deal with the water bear leader.
At this time, the formation was in chaos with flying sand and rocks, and the Five Elements Formation truly lived up to its reputation. All kinds of golden guns, wooden spears, water forks, earth spikes, and fire bombs all around were focused, and the three-meter-tall figure in the center of the field roared and resisted frantically.
The strength of this leader of the water bear is probably close to that of a peak foundation-building monster. Not only can he cast several basic water-attribute spells, but his pair of bear paws are also so powerful that all attacks are directly smashed to pieces.
However, due to their intelligence, monsters in the foundation building stage and Qi training stage are basically unable to be compared to human monks at the same level among low-level monsters.
This tardigrade seems to be at the peak of its foundation building, but any late-stage foundation building monk can fight it and even defeat it with a high chance of using any means.
Only when the demonic beasts have formed demonic elixirs in their bodies, certain parts of their bodies have transformed into magic weapons, and certain bloodlines have returned to their ancestors and awakened their innate magical powers, can they confront human golden elixir phase monks head-on.
As for the great demons in the Nascent Soul stage, almost half of them can take the form of humans, speak human words, practice magical powers, and even transform themselves into demon treasures, which is extremely terrifying. Even the Nascent Soul stage monks had to walk around before the situation was completely reversed.
The current water bear leader can only be beaten passively. With its intelligence, it cannot see through the breakthrough point of the formation. There is no better way than being incompetent and furious.
Lin Shan walked into the formation and took out the Five Elements Fan and Black Iron Sword, and greeted the water bear leader directly. These formations were controlled by the Black Skull Demon Lord and they would not accidentally hurt "one of their own". All attacks were automatically avoided. In Linshan's eyes, the phantom formation was equivalent to nothing. The leader of the water bear in the center not only has long stamina, but can also attack with spells. His bear skin and fur can withstand all kinds of attacks. However, the situation became critical after Lin Shan joined the team.
The Five Elements Fan keeps changing various types of earth spears, earth thorns, earth walls, earth prisons, etc. As the saying goes, earth overcomes water among the five elements. Of course, Lin Shan does not talk about martial ethics.
At the beginning, he was stationed while taking advantage of ninety-eight points, and at the same time, he was stuck and took out restraint.
The Black Iron Sword also began to fly left and right, creating a series of wounds on his body. The water bear leader kept roaring and rushed towards Linshan with his rough skin and thick flesh. He raised the bear's paw and slapped him.
Lin Shan was determined to test its strength, so he pulled out the cloud-copper heart mirror without evading it, and placed it directly in front of him.
"Crack!"
The white humanoid was directly slapped ten meters away. He stood up in disheveled clothes and coughed and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. His internal organs were burning with pain. When I looked at my high-level defensive magic weapon, there was nothing wrong with it. It just had an extra claw mark, which was no surprise.
"Cough! Not bad cough cough"
Lin Shan asked for trouble and suffered a big fight. Although he didn't suffer any serious injuries, the shock of the force hit him, which made it uncomfortable for him who had never practiced physical training. After testing out the means to his goal, he did not hesitate and began to spend his time slowly.
With the protection of the three major formations, the situation within the formation naturally gradually improved. If Lin Shan hadn't been scrupulous and only wanted to capture him alive rather than kill him, he would have cut off the bear's paws long ago.
It is easy for middle- and low-level monks to waste time in fighting. Sometimes the battle is about endurance and recovery. When some people are evenly matched, it is not impossible to fight for three days and three nights.
Although the water bear monster has first-rate endurance, it can't stand up to Lin Shan's formations that burn money and krypton gold, and he also has a medium-grade spiritual stone in his hand that he can recover while fighting. Finally, he slowly began to stand up, and there were blood holes everywhere on his body from the black iron sword.
Lin Shan saw the right moment and directly used his newly obtained high-level magic weapon "Monster Binding Rope". This thing can also be used to bind monks, but it is even better to bind monsters!
The water bear leader was exhausted physically and mentally at this time. He saw a rope flying over. He tried to avoid it but was unable to do so and was tied up tightly.
This rope was like a tangled snake, strangling it so tightly that it couldn't move.
Lin Shan came over after seeing the three-meter-tall tardigrade being subdued. Because he was worried, he tied a bow tightly on his back.
As for the dead knot, forget it. I will still use this high-level magical weapon in the future, not to mention how will the water bear come out in the future if you tie the dead knot? Naturally, he would not do this kind of deal that cost his wife and soldiers.
When he had time, he took a look at the outside of the formation, and saw that the water bear tribe and his tree people were fighting back and forth. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord next to him didn't know what method he used to combine hundreds of skeletons into one large skeleton, exuding the aura of the foundation-building stage!
Seeing that this combined version of the large skeleton of the Foundation Establishment Stage, together with the four Myrtle tree men, could barely resist the two Foundation Establishment Stage water bears, Lin Shan was not surprised but felt a chill in his heart.
This Black Skeleton Demon Lord is worthy of being an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage. His avatar only had strength in the Qi stage. He can actually do tricks with a high-level magic weapon and combine the summons of the Foundation Establishment stage!
In what period of Qi training can I have this ability?
Unknowingly, he thought of Lin Fan again. I'm afraid only a son of destiny can fight against the same realm.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Shan looked at the water bear leader who was rolling on the ground and roaring angrily at him. Lin Shan took out a hammer magic weapon from his storage bracelet and started to "bang bang" at the guy's head. Smash it up.
The water bear monster was so dizzy after being hit on the head that he almost suffered a concussion.
But Lin Shan took advantage of this moment and hurriedly took out the high-level magical weapon "Summoning Flag" and began to perform the summoning spell.
I vaguely felt that there were soul light spots everywhere within a ten-mile radius. The hundreds of light spots outside the large array were of various sizes, and the largest ones were the two light spots of the water bears in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But what is surprising is that there seems to be another soul light spot in the distance, similar to the intensity of the foundation building stage, slowly approaching and stopping. I don’t know if he is an enemy or a friend, whether he is passing by or here for a special visit.
The light spot of the Black Skull Demon Lord in the sky was black, like a small sun spot. Although it didn't look big, its density was extremely terrifying, which made Lin Shan secretly surprised.
What shocked him even more was that the Black Skull Demon Lord sitting on the cloud seemed to sense his consciousness and cursed directly into the air next to him:
"What are you doing, kid! If you don't get down to business quickly, why are you spying on me?"
Lin Shan calmly withdrew his consciousness and focused all his attention on the light blue light spot next to him, which was the water bear leader who was temporarily subdued by him.
But as expected, although the monster beasts in the foundation-building stage have only the intelligence of a child, their spiritual strength is not very bad either. He had previously smashed people into a state of confusion, but now he was still struggling to forcefully bind the summoning contract.
"Hurry up and agree! I'm not enslaving you, it's just a summoning contract. Why are you resisting so hard?"
The water bear monster said, don't do this to me, kid. If I can forcefully summon you unilaterally, you will be happy.
Lin Shan saw that this guy was still resisting very fiercely, and his conscious attacks frequently hit the wall, and his brain was in pain. Unable to bear it, the main body outside picked up the hammer again and hit Ya's forehead with a bang.
The water bear monster screamed in pain, Lin Shan's consciousness was desperately trying to escape, and one man and one beast began to fight fiercely.
After about a stick of incense, unable to bear Lin Shan's lack of martial ethics, the water bear monster finally broke through the last line of defense, and a unilateral summoning contract was imprinted on his mind.
The formation finally became quiet, and all attacks from the Five Elements Formation stopped. The water bear monster lay unconscious on the ground with foam at the mouth, and Lin Shan sat on the ground sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
It was too difficult to forcibly bind a foundation-building monster, but with his current foundation-building level of cultivation, he could only forcibly bind one at most.
The spell imprint of the summoning spell flickered in his mind. He learned from the enhancement panel that if he voluntarily bound the contract with him, he would naturally not occupy the soul burden.
But if it is forcibly bound, it is only enough to bind one in the same realm, unless he continues to strengthen the high-level spells.
But the question is, which monster is not naturally free? Who will voluntarily bind you?
Unless they were raised since childhood and treated like their biological parents. However, Lin Shan is only in his twenties now and does not have a long time to cultivate cubs. He can only forcibly contract with the wild monsters in the world.
The twisted melon is not sweet, but it is fragrant!
It would be nice to have one demonic beast in the Foundation Establishment stage. This water bear is still at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Although it is not as good as the monks in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, it is still a big help.
As for the number of summoning places during the Qi training period, he had more places, but he already had hundreds of younger brothers and tens of thousands of East China Sea products, so he was really too lazy to continue to expand his recruitment.
……
Unknowingly, the battle lasted from afternoon to evening, and it was getting dark. The water bear tribe outside the formation was still fighting crazily. The Black Skeleton Lord was also having a great time, but he just suffered a lot from the tree demon bean soldiers. A good half of it was blown up.
However, Lin Shan didn't feel bad at all. This kind of tree demon in the Qi training stage was just refined from seeds that were hundreds of years old, and he had plenty of them.
As long as the thousand-year-old tree demon is still there, and with the Black Skeleton Demon Lord helping to take care of it, it won't be a big problem.
The leader of the water bear next to him also woke up leisurely at this time, and was holding the bear's head aside in dejection. After being planted with a contract, he naturally couldn't take action against Lin Shan. The next time he was summoned, he had to be his thug according to the agreement.
Anyone who encounters this situation would be depressed, not to mention that he is just a harmless bear in the East China Sea.
While one person and one bear were looking at each other in silence, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord's transmission note suddenly flew from outside the formation.
"No, someone from outside the island is coming!"
