Two days later.
"Hoo——"
On an unknown desert island, Jiang Ning let out a long breath.
The white mist in his mouth is like a sword, which can penetrate the air more than three feet.
[Skill]: Inner Alchemy Health Kung Fu (Xiao Cheng 3831/5000)
I glanced at the panel and then closed it.
Since the weather turned fine a few days ago, the weather has been good for several consecutive days. This has also made the progress of his inner alchemy health-preserving skills increase very quickly, and he can increase his experience points by about a hundred points every day.
Now, the accumulated experience points of inner elixir health-preserving skills are close to 4,000 points of experience points.
With his current efficiency and current progress, as long as the weather is clear and cloudless and he can smoothly absorb the energy of the sun, it will only take up to twelve days for the inner elixir health-preserving skill to complete a breakthrough.
"It's time to continue searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"
He murmured in his mouth and stood up slowly.
aside.
The old turtle turned his belly and basked in the sun with his feet in the air.
At this time, it heard Jiang Ning getting up and quickly opened its eyes.
Then he kicked his limbs towards the ground.
There was a "whoosh" sound.
The old turtle landed on Jiang Ning's shoulder.
"Old turtle, if you feel the aura of that big demon white chi, remember to tell me!" Jiang Ning warned again.
"Understood!" The old turtle nodded immediately.
Then he came to the very edge of the island of ignorance beneath his feet.
Ahead is the surging lake.
After several days of sunny days and warm sunshine, Luoshui Lake has completely thawed.
Now there are only some broken ice flakes floating on the lake.
【Source Energy】：2175.37
He then took another look at his source energy points.
Breaking through two thousand points again.
This is what he has gained in the past few days.
Counting today, he has been away from home for three days.
I don’t know how many miles deep into Luoshui Lake.
His footprints are all over the bottom of the lake.
Because the search area is large enough, his harvest these days is also very good. Among those harvests are many treasures that are more than a hundred years old.
But he also discovered a problem.
That is the treasures of nature, materials and earth found at the bottom of the lake. It is basically difficult for them to be more than a hundred years old. There are not many treasures of nature, materials and earth in the 1970s and 80s, but there are very few treasures of nature, materials and earthly resources that are a hundred years old.
As for the treasures of heaven, material and earth that are more than one hundred years old or as high as two hundred years old, they have never been seen before.
"Old Turtle, do you think there is some kind of force in this lake?"
"Power?" Old Turtle murmured after hearing this.
"That's right!!" It thought for a moment and suddenly stood up from Jiang Ning's shoulder.
Then he continued: "Lord, I remember that about two hundred years ago, when I opened my spiritual wisdom, I encountered a prawn."
"Prawn?" Jiang Ning sounded surprised.
The old turtle stood on Jiang Ning's shoulders with his legs, erecting his body and nodding.
"Yes, my lord!"
"A fiery red prawn, with enlightened wisdom, it has already transformed into a demon."
"It invited me then to join them."
"But I guarded Emperor Liujian, so I decisively refused its invitation!"
"The prawn didn't say anything at the time. He just told me that if I want to find them in the future, I should just keep walking in the northeast direction. If I keep walking, I can meet them."
Northeast?
Jiang Ning's eyes narrowed, and then he compared it with the map recorded in his mind, and instantly found the approximate direction of the northeast mentioned by the old turtle.
It is to the east of him.
After entering the bottom of the lake these days, I relied on the powerful memory brought by the photographic memory.
He felt that every time he swept across a body of water, a three-dimensional map would be formed in his mind.
So the topography and landforms from Luoshui County to the bottom of the lake where he is now are all in his mind.
On the water, he couldn't find where he was or where he came from.
But when he entered the bottom of the lake, he could instantly find his direction with the map of the lake bottom in his mind.
Now the unknown desert island under his feet also recorded the map in his mind, so it was easy to find the approximate northeast direction mentioned by the old turtle.
Go check it out!
After just a moment of thought, he made his decision.
In the past few days, he had searched countless places at the bottom of the lake.
There were a few things that made him very confused.
That is, there are too few heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are over a hundred years old. As for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are over two hundred years old, none of them have been found.
Secondly, even though they crossed a huge water area, they could not find the third little demon except the old turtle and the electric eel.
This is unreasonable!
Since Luoshui Lake can give birth to two monsters, the old turtle and the electric eel, it must also be able to give birth to other opportunities to become monsters.
How can aquatic creatures not become monsters if they get those opportunities?
The next moment.
He plunged into the icy lake water.
"Old turtle, how about going to the northeast where the prawn said?"
"Okay, my lord!" Old Turtle's voice sounded in Jiang Ning's ears.
"Lord, I think that must be a gathering place for monsters in the water. My companions may be found there!"
Jiang Ning's body sank all the way: "I think so! Two hundred years ago, they invited you to join, probably because you opened your spiritual wisdom and became a demon."
After a while.
He came to the bottom of the lake.
Relying on the perception of water within a radius of five miles, he matched it with the map in his mind and found the direction instantly.
The next moment.
A channel instantly appeared at the bottom of the lake, like a vacuum pipe.
Amid the surging undercurrent, he quickly headed east.
At this time, he was also shrinking his perception range.
Because the perception of water covering a five-mile radius will allow his brain to receive a large amount of picture information in a short period of time, it doesn't matter if the speed is not fast, he can completely digest this torrent of information.
But it was different at this moment. He was moving forward at full speed, traveling hundreds of meters at a time, maintaining the perception of the water within a radius of five miles. The torrent of information conveyed by the picture was enough to make him feel dizzy and unable to bear it.
While advancing at high speed, he maintained control of the water within a radius of one mile.
An hour later.
"Old Turtle, do you think our direction is wrong?" Jiang Ning said.
"Lord, I don't know either. I have never walked such a long distance!" Old Turtle said.
Jiang Ning also stopped at this moment.
Several hours have passed since just now, and we have crossed the vast water.
Apart from the occasional discovery of one or two natural treasures along the way, he gained nothing.
He stood there and thought for a moment.
He tried to match the location of this place with the map in his mind.
"Old turtle, come back with me first!" he said, reaching out to grab the old turtle on his shoulder.
Then
With a thought in his mind, his figure suddenly disappeared here and merged into the lake.
The next moment.
His figure instantly appeared thirty miles away, and his face turned pale at this time.
Use the Great Five Elements Water Escape Magical Power once, and it will be completely consumed and he will escape.
But when he saw the familiar scenes around him, which corresponded to the map of the lake bottom that he had already memorized in his mind, a faint smile appeared on his face.
It covered thirty-three miles in an instant, which was much faster than he usually did.
Then he rested on the spot for a moment. After a while, his figure disappeared from the spot again.
In an instant, he appeared again thirty miles away.
"No!!" After trying twice, he shook his head repeatedly.
Two consecutive uses made him feel weak, a feeling of being completely drained.
Moreover, he found that although it was very fast to travel more than thirty miles in an instant, it took too long to recover itself. Comparing the two, the efficiency was not high.
This time, nourished by the lake water, it took him longer to recover before he felt that his physical strength was completely restored. Then he used his water-bending technique and continued on his way at the bottom of the lake.
He plans to first come to the northeast track where Old Turtle was before, and then move all the way along the northeast to search for treasures of heaven and earth and to find possible gathering places for monsters at the bottom of the lake.
After this tossing, several hours passed.
At this time, he was also moving in the northeast direction, constantly searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
The heavenly eye on his forehead has already been opened, constantly scanning up and down and in all directions.
With the insight of the Sky Eye, he can see the scenery ten miles away. Compared with his perception of the five-mile radius of the water, the Sky Eye can obviously see farther.
The next day.
He glanced.
His expression suddenly froze.
That is! !
He saw nine miles ahead, the claws of a huge crayfish, which were as big as his arm.
This reminded him instantly of what Lao Turtle had said to him.
More than two hundred years ago, when the old turtle had just become a demon, a prawn came and invited it to join them.
The so-called them, it is not difficult to guess that they are the same beings who have opened their spiritual wisdom and turned into demons like the old turtle.
Is it that prawn?
The secret words in his mind.
Then his body moved like a sharp arrow in the water. The water waves in front of him separated by themselves, so the lake water could not cause any hindrance to him.
The distance of nine miles is reached in an instant.
He fell before the giant claws of the crayfish.
"My lord, this is it!" The old turtle on the shoulder exclaimed when he saw the giant red pincers in front of him.
"Do you know him?" Jiang Ning asked.
"We know you!" the old turtle said immediately.
It jumped from Jiang Ning's shoulder and came to the front of the giant red pincer.
It leaned over and sniffed again, nodding again and again.
"My lord, that's right! This aura is that of that prawn more than two hundred years ago!" the old turtle said firmly.
"It's just." It hesitated immediately.
"Just what?" Jiang Ning asked.
"It's just that this prawn's moral skills seem to be very shallow, far inferior to mine! But this shouldn't be the case! More than two hundred years have passed, how come its moral skills are so far inferior to mine?"
"Can you feel it?" Jiang Ning asked.
The old turtle nodded: "You can feel it. The Taoist conduct that has lasted for decades or hundreds of years can be easily felt. Therefore, the Taoist conduct at this time emerges from the outside and is integrated into the body."
"The Taoism that is more than a thousand years old cannot be felt, because the Taoism is hidden inside."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning asked again: "How many years of practice can you feel from that prawn?"
The old turtle said: "About a hundred years or so!"
After saying this, it immediately bit it.
Bang——
A crisp sound came, followed by the sounds of "crunch" and "crunch".
Jiang Ning looked at the old turtle in less than a moment.
The shrimp claws, which were as big as his arms, were eaten clean by the old turtle.
"My lord, yes, that's it!" Then the old turtle said with unfinished meaning: "My lord, and these shrimp claws are very fresh, that prawn should have been dead for less than a week!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning was thoughtful.
He glanced at the old turtle again: "Old turtle, do you think that prawn has been around for a hundred years?"
"Yes!" The old turtle nodded: "From the feeling its pliers give me, it should be a century-old Taoist practice."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning suddenly smiled.
"It seems that I must have overestimated the demonic creatures in this lake before."
"Lord, why do you say that?" The old turtle's tone was full of doubts.
Jiang Ning said: "You can have more than two hundred years because you have the opportunity to monopolize the emperor's fluid! That electric eel can have more than two hundred years of Taoism is also because it has the opportunity to monopolize the thunder tree."
"As for the creatures in the lake, they don't have the opportunity to meet you, so their growth rate is far slower than yours."
At this time, Jiang Ning also understood something in his heart.
Perhaps after a hundred years, many of the natural treasures in the lake were looted by the little monsters like the prawns.
Subsequently.
He looked up again and looked ahead.
"Let's go! Keep moving forward, the prawn's pincers come from the front!" Jiang Ning said, grabbing the old turtle and putting it on his shoulders.
The next moment.
He continued to open his eyes and move forward.
After half a cup of tea.
He stopped immediately.
"My lord, have you discovered anything else?" The old turtle's tone was filled with excitement.
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
With the insight of his clairvoyance, he saw a turtle shell on the left front, a turtle shell that was four or five feet tall.
With a movement of his body, he cut through the water waves like a sharp arrow.
In the blink of an eye.
He came to the turtle shell.
"My lord, the owner of this turtle shell was a demon."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Ning said.
"My lord, that turtle is stronger than me!!" The old turtle came to the turtle shell and sniffed it twice, his tone suddenly filled with admiration.
"How many years of Taoism?"
"About three hundred years!" replied the old turtle.
"More than three hundred years?" Jiang Ning was surprised, then nodded: "He is better than you."
Right now.
Bang——
"Ouch——" the old turtle suddenly exclaimed.
Jiang Ning looked up and suddenly smiled.
The old turtle bit down on the turtle shell. Instead of biting it off, it almost broke its teeth, leaving only two shallow teeth marks on the turtle shell.
"Stop biting!" Jiang Ning came to the turtle shell. Seeing that the old turtle still wanted to try, Jiang Ning immediately put the turtle shell into the Sumeru Ring.
A turtle shell that has been around for three hundred years is so hard that it must be a rare thing in this era.
Then he moved on.
After just a moment, he stopped with Lao Turtle.
What caught their eyes was a collapsed palace.
The surface of the palace is paved with white marble stone bricks, and the stone pillars are also inlaid with gems that emit bright light. The collapsed walls are made of crystals, and are now covered with a thick layer of ice crystals.
"My lord, this is it." The old turtle looked at a collapsed building made of crystals and shells in front of him, full of surprise.
Jiang Ning said: "This place must have been invaded by a powerful enemy!"
The old turtle nodded solemnly: "The Lord is right, a powerful enemy has indeed invaded! There is the aura of the big demon Bai Chi here."
"Big demon?" A strange color flashed in Jiang Ning's eyes.
Then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he came to a wall in a flash.
His palm landed on the thick ice.
"Is this the trace left by the great demon Bai Chi?" he asked.
"Yes, Lord!" the old turtle responded.
At this time, Jiang Ning's palm fell on the ice, and he suddenly felt a deep chill.
Even in his current state, he could feel the chill going straight to his marrow.
His heart was suddenly filled with deep fear.
You must know that the layer of ice crystals in front of you is just the traces of the battle left by the great demon Bai Chi.
And there are still traces of the battle left unknown how long ago.
But just the traces of battle made him feel the unstoppable chill.
If you were to face this big monster, how terrifying it would be, and how could you resist it?
At this time, he felt that he was still too weak. (End of chapter)
