Chapter 122 Fusion of Essence and Blood
"Ahem! What happened?"
Just when Xu Yiren felt that he was about to be burned to death by the flames, he trembled all over and broke out of the hallucination.
Breathing heavily, her chest heaving violently, she was about to summon the magical weapon, touched her waist, and found that the storage bag had long since disappeared.
Suddenly, Xu Yiren's expression became extremely ugly.
"hateful!"
Xu Yi cursed in his mouth, then squeezed the magic formula with his hand to release a ball of bright light. Using the light, he looked around vigilantly.
At this time, she was still suspended on the altar in the center of the stone forest, but the stone mask sculpture under her feet had been broken into slag, and she didn't know who did it.
No figures of Jing Luochen, Xu Mu and Shen Gai were seen.
Yang Wanshou, Wang Yinxian, and Zhang Tianluo were still floating beside her. At this time, their eyes were closed and their faces were struggling. They were obviously still in the illusion and had not come out.
Xu Yiren looked at the waists of several people and found that their storage bags had also disappeared, and she felt inexplicably comfortable.
She controlled her body and landed on the altar. Just when she was considering whether to explore the surroundings or leave directly, Yang Wanshou and the other three also broke free from the illusion and landed on the altar.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what happened just now? Where are Daoist Shen and Daoyou Xu?" Yang Wanshou asked with a pair of white eyebrows furrowed.
Zhang Tianluo and Wang Yinxian, who had also just woken up, also looked at Xu Yiren.
At this moment, Zhang Tianluo suddenly screamed.
"My storage bag!"
Hearing Zhang Tianluo's voice, the other two people also hurriedly checked and found that their storage bags had also disappeared.
Wang Yinxian, in particular, looked ashamed and annoyed.
Because in addition to a storage bag placed outside, she also has a hole placed in the lower body.
That's the kind of place no one would even think of.
As a result, I sensed it now and it’s gone.
In other words, the other party must have searched that location vigorously at that time.
The three of them looked at Xu Yiren again, wondering if she had taken away the storage bag.
Xu Yiren smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Stop looking, mine is gone too!"
At this moment, Xu Mu and Shen Gai walked out of the palace.
"Fellow Daoist Xu!"
"Friend Daoist Shen!"
The four people hurried over and asked:
"Do you know what just happened?"
"And our storage bags!"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile.
"After we woke up, we saw the same thing as you. As for the storage bag, we both woke up almost at the same time, and we had already searched each other!" Shen Gai said.
"What about inside the palace?" Xu Yiren asked hurriedly.
Although she did not carry all her wealth with her, the storage bag also accounted for a large part. It was impossible not to feel distressed if it was lost for no reason.
"There is nothing inside. If you are worried, you can go in and check it yourself." Xu Mu said.
Shen Gai nodded, confirming what Xu Mu said.
Seeing the two people's reactions, the four of them felt pain in their eyes.
This time it was really a case of stealing the chicken but losing the rice. No, it should be said that it was a piece of meat.
"Whale, where has Whale Luochen gone?"
Xu Yiren spoke with difficulty.
Although the scene before falling into the hallucination was clear at a glance, Xu Yiren was still a little unwilling.
She had been following him for so long, and she really didn't believe that he would be so cruel.
"I don't know, he was gone when we woke up." Xu Mu shook his head, looked at the broken stone surface on the high platform and said, "Maybe he is dead!"
Everyone looked back and instantly understood what he meant.
If Jing Luochen hadn't had an accident himself, it would have been impossible for them to survive.
As for someone secretly rescuing them, several people also had this speculation in their minds, but they felt that the chance was low.
On the contrary, Jing Luochen himself had an accident, which was more in line with the logic of the matter.
"What should we do now?" Xu Yiren asked.
She felt panicked and a little confused.
Without Jing Luochen, can the Jing Hai Gang still exist?
If the Whale Sea Gang no longer exists, what will happen to her, the deputy gang leader?
"Go back first. No matter what happens, we can discuss it slowly after we get back." Shen Gai said.
Compared to Xu Yiren's panic, Shen Gai seemed much calmer.
Hearing his words, Yang Wanshou and the other three nodded unconsciously.
Xu Mu's eyes flickered and he said nothing.
Although Xu Yiren was a little reluctant and wanted to stay and check, the others were unwilling to stay, so she could only follow the crowd.
After everyone returned to Kuroshio Island along the original route, they did not leave immediately, but gathered together to discuss what to do next.
"First of all, of course, we need to confirm whether Fellow Daoist Whale has had any accidents. If so, we will choose another gang leader. If not, haha!"
Shen Gai was still the first to speak. He had completely grasped the situation. Except for the displeasure on Xu Yiren's face, no one raised any opinions.
What happened before they finally fell into the illusion. As long as they were not stupid, they would know that all of this was a trap set by Jing Luochen.
It’s just that no one has exposed it.
If Jing Luochen dies, that's it.
If they are not dead, everyone will definitely not be able to live in peace. With Jing Luochen's strength, even if everyone joins forces, there is probably nothing they can do, so the only option is to leave.
"If you don't have any objections, we will set a one-month deadline."
"If Fellow Daoist Whale does not return within a month, we will jointly elect a new gang leader. If he comes back, there will be no need to discuss anything."
After finishing speaking, Shen Gai looked around.
"I disagree."
Xu Yiren stood up with a cold face.
"With the Jing Gang... Jing Luochen's cultivation level, it would take three or four months to retreat for a small number of people at a time. One month is too short. What if we have just established a new gang leader and he suddenly returns?"
"Then how long does Xu Daoyou think it should take?"
Shen Gai asked with a smile.
"I think it will take at least half a year or even a year." Xu Yiren affirmed.
"What do you think?"
Shen Gai shrugged and looked at everyone with a smile.
"I think it should be a month! Half a year is too long, and by that time the whole gang may be in chaos."
Yang Wanshou stood up and said while stroking his white beard.
"I also think one month is too long. I don't want to stay in one place for half a year." Zhang Tianluo complained.
Wang Yinxian remained silent and did not speak.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you think?"
After finding that no one supported him, Xu Yiren looked at Xu Mu pleadingly.
It can only be said that Shen Gai is very clever, and the entire gang, except for the newcomer Xu Mu, the other three have very obvious attitudes.
If it hadn't been for Jing Luochen in recent years, Xu Yiren might have been replaced as deputy gang leader long ago.
After all, she is not very strong and her qualifications are not very deep.
"I also think one month is enough."
No one knows better than him whether Jing Luochen is dead or alive.
Naturally, he didn't want to waste time.
He even wanted to elect the gang leader now to avoid having to make another trip later.
He also wanted to refine the essence and blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark as soon as possible so that he could experience the power of the Twelve Jingzhe Art as soon as possible.
As for the begging look in Xu Yiren's eyes, he pretended not to see it at all.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, it seems that everyone thinks so."
Shen Gai looked at Xu Yiren with a smile.
I don't know whether Shen Gai intentionally or unintentionally replaced the deputy gang leader in Xu Yiren's address with fellow Taoist.
"Okay! Just one month!"
Xu Yiren clenched her silver teeth, feeling quite betrayed and separated from her relatives.
"But this month, Kuroshiobo City will be managed by me!"
"good!"
Shen Gai's eyes flickered slightly, and he actually nodded in agreement.
No one else had any objections, but Xu Mu secretly shook his head.
This woman really has no brains at all.
One month was already quite tight, but instead of finding ways to win over other people, she actually tried her best to take matters into her own hands.
Doesn't she think that she will continue to manage two cities now after the new gang leader is elected?
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that the position of leader of the gang belongs to none other than Shen Gai.
Xu Yiren was completely struggling to his death.
The only thing she has to do is to surrender to the other party, rather than fighting for the pitiful benefits in front of her.
It's just that this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, he is just a passerby.
After the matter was discussed, everyone left one after another. Xu Yiren called Xu Mu several times, but Xu Mu seemed not to have heard and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Xu Yiren was so angry that he stamped his feet and his chest trembled for a long time.
"What an ungrateful fellow!"
She turned around to find a few other people, but no one wanted to pay attention to her.
…
On the other side, Xu Mu, who returned to the cave, took out all the gains from this trip.
A sixth level alchemy cauldron!
A ball of phantom thunder silver shark essence and blood!
A cauldron of monk blood mixed with essence!
And a magic pill from the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark!
The demon pill was found from the broken stone surface.
In the entire ruins, only the stone mask was extraordinary, and Xu Mu naturally couldn't let it go.
Because the mask was too big, he couldn't take it with him.
So I simply destroyed it, and then found a silver bead inside. After inspection, I found that it was a solidified demon pill.
Considering that the silver phantom thunder was once released from the mask, the owner of the demon pill is self-evident.
In addition to these, there are storage bags for six people.
Among them, Jing Luochen has a set of fifth-level flying knife spiritual weapons without sealed souls, plus three high-grade spiritual stones, one hundred and twenty-five medium-grade spiritual stones, several sets of robes, and some miscellaneous materials.
The other five people provided seven fourth-level spiritual weapons, one fifth-level spiritual weapon, eight high-grade spiritual stones, more than 800 medium-grade spiritual stones, more than a dozen skill secrets, and various materials piled up. heap.
There are fifty or sixty robes, including three that are close-fitting and smelly. Where did they come from?
Of course it was Xu Mu who worked hard to do it!
"I spared your lives, so it's not too much to take something as reward, right?"
If he wasn't worried about causing too much trouble, he really had plans to train a few people into elixirs.
After sorting out all the harvest from the trip, Xu Mu took out the blood essence and blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark and began to refine it.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The originally silver-white blood was reduced from a lump to a drop with his continuous refining. The color did not change much, but the light on it became more intense, and silver lightning arcs kept flashing across it.
If you stare at this drop of blood carefully, you will soon find that this drop of blood does not seem to be composed of liquid, but is composed of tiny grains of silver sand.
These silver sands are constantly flowing, as if they are alive.
And as the silver sand flows, tiny silver-white arcs are born from their collision.
If ordinary people stare at it for too long, they will feel as if their souls are being sucked into it.
It was as if the whole world had turned into a sea of silver quicksand.
The magic thunder silver shark essence and blood in front of him was already the limit that Xu Mu could refine.
"This level of monster blood should be enough!"
After resting for a day, he adjusted his energy and spirit to the best state, activated all the defensive formations in the cave, and after confirming that there was no danger, he swallowed the essence and blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark in one gulp, and at the same time, he ran the Twelve Jingzhe Art to completely integrate it with himself. Become one.
The process of refining blood essence went very smoothly. After all, he had almost reached the perfect level of the Twelve Jingzhe Jue, and he was refining the blood essence of monsters of the same attribute. As long as he didn't commit suicide, the chance of an accident was very low.
A few days later, Xu Mu walked out of the cave, seemingly unchanged.
He flew through the void and quickly flew above the sea. He took off his boots and coat, leaving only his underwear, and then plunged into the sea.
The moment he entered the water, the essence and blood of the Phantom Thunder Silver Shark in his body was stimulated, and his entire body began to change rapidly.
First, the black hair on his head turned silver-white, like silver threads, and liquid like silver sand began to emerge from his black pupils.
Whoop whoosh!
The cheeks on both sides suddenly split open, revealing pieces of blood-red gills. Mucous membranes like frog webs appeared between the fingers and toes. The arms, calves, and back all grew silver fins like sharp blades.
The skin that was originally as white as jade seemed to be coated with a silvery film of light, shining brightly.
In an instant, as if blowing air, the whole body grew a lot bigger, becoming as tall as a little giant.
A sense of power grew in Xu Mu's body!
When his body completely entered the water, Xu Mu immediately felt like a fish in water.
The seawater that was originally an obstacle to him was now so comfortable that without the need to release his spiritual thoughts, everything within a kilometer radius could be sensed through his skin and reflected in his mind.
This feeling is completely different from Divine Mind, a bit like the flame perception he obtained before.
What's more magical than that feeling is that the surrounding seawater seems to have become an extension of his limbs. Facing the surging waves, he feels like he is drifting with the current.
He gently moved his hands, and immediately generated a strong propulsive force. The white water no longer became an obstacle, but became a help. His whole body was like a silver thunder, and he could draw tens of feet in an instant.
"I see!"
Xu Mu recalled Zhang Tianluo's situation at the bottom of the sea, and finally understood why the other party could achieve such rapid speed by relying on his hands and feet to paddle.
And he is faster than the opponent now.
In addition, breathing is no longer an obstacle.
Although practitioners can rely on spells to stay under the sea for a long time, when a battle occurs, it will be difficult to maintain the spells, and breathing will become a huge constraint when the time comes.
There is also pressure brought by sea water, which is also not felt at this time.
The blessings from these two aspects alone greatly improved his combat effectiveness under the sea.
"I shouldn't be much different from a real sea tribe now, right?!"
