Chapter 212: First Hunt in the South China Sea
"At such a close distance to the sea, there are third-level monsters."
"No wonder it is said that the Endless Sea in the southwest of Yunzhou is a hundred times more dangerous than the East China Sea."
Cao Rui looked around and saw almost no other foundation-building cultivators.
In the southwest of Yunzhou, most foundation-building cultivators would choose to kill the second-level monsters that came ashore on the shore, and few foundation-building cultivators dared to enter the Endless Sea directly.
Cao Rui's consciousness locked onto the third-level sea monster below.
This is a mixed-blood sea dragon, with a dark blue body, rising and falling on the sea surface, hunting low-level monsters along the coast.
It also discovered Cao Rui at this time, but it also regarded Cao Rui as prey, and a pair of eyes stared at Cao Rui from time to time.
"Let me try it on you, is my magic sword sharp?"
Cao Rui directly controlled the golden sword to shoot at the dragon.
Swish! The golden sword turned into a dazzling golden light, and rushed towards the sea dragon like lightning with a terrifying speed that made people shudder.
The sea dragon was obviously also shocked by the speed of Cao Rui's magic sword.
In a hurry, it opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, and white mist gushed out of its mouth.
These white mists wrapped around the golden sword like living things, and quickly condensed into huge blue ice pillars.
It turned out that this sea dragon was an extremely rare ice-attributed monster.
The golden sword flashed a faint spiritual light in the ice pillar, as if it was trapped in an icy cage.
Cao Rui did not panic. He concentrated all his magic power and waved his hand vigorously.
Buzz! With a low roar, the ice pillar shattered instantly, and the golden sword finally regained its freedom and continued to slash at the sea dragon with great momentum.
Seeing this, the sea dragon flashed and suddenly dived into the vast ocean.
The next moment, vast white fog continued to seep out of the sea, and large tracts of seawater were frozen into thick ice in the blink of an eye.
But how could a mere ice layer block the way of the golden sword? Under Cao Rui's exquisite control, the golden sword flexibly shuttled through the ice layer and closely followed the figure of the sea dragon.
However, due to the obstruction of the ice layer, the speed of the golden sword slowed down significantly, and it could no longer catch up with the agile third-level sea dragon.
Seeing this, Cao Rui immediately patted the storage bag on his waist, and saw the other four magic swords flying out together. It is much more difficult to control five second-level magic weapons at the same time than Yang Shize's control of a third-level magic weapon.
Fortunately, Cao Rui has cultivated the Great Five Elements Sword Formation to the perfect state, and has a unique secret advantage in controlling the five-attribute magic swords.
He pinched the sword formula in his hand, and the four magic swords shot out in four directions, surrounding the sea dragon.
Under the siege of the five magic swords, the sea dragon soon revealed a flaw.
At this moment, Cao Rui controlled the golden sword and found a perfect opportunity to cut the sea dragon's trunk.
The golden sword was so sharp that it successfully broke its scales and pierced deeply into its body.
Before the sea dragon got close, Cao Rui successfully injured the sea dragon with only five magic swords.
The sea dragon finally realized how powerful Cao Rui was, and turned around and prepared to escape.
However, Cao Rui had expected it to react like this, and his Cone God Thorn magical power was already ready!
While the sea dragon was panicking and wanted to escape, Cao Rui did not hesitate to send out a Cone God Thorn.
The Cone God Thorn was like an invisible lightning, hitting the sea dragon fleeing in the sea water.
The sea dragon's consciousness was obviously not as strong as the deep-sea black turtle of the same level three. After being hit by Cao Rui's Cone God Thorn, it obviously became sluggish, and its speed in the sea also dropped significantly.
"Five swords merge into one!" With a loud shout, Cao Rui quickly formed a sword gesture with both hands, and saw five spiritual lights quickly gathered, which were the five second-level magic swords.
They quickly merged together in the sea water, forming a huge sword light, flashing dazzling light.
This sword light rushed towards the sea dragon like lightning.
The sea dragon was a third-level monster after all, and at this moment, the sea dragon had recovered from its previous state of unconsciousness.
But facing such a swift attack, it was too late to make any effective defense or evasion.
The sword light was like a meteor, instantly piercing the sea dragon's head, bringing out a scarlet blood flower.
The sea dragon widened its eyes, as if it couldn't believe that it was killed like this.
Its huge body lost its vitality and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing this, Cao Rui immediately dived into the seabed and controlled the magic sword to dig out the sea dragon's demon pill.
He carefully put the demon pill into a jade box, and then put the sea dragon's body into a storage bag.
The flesh and blood of this sea dragon should be able to sell for a good price.
"Second-level magic weapon is indeed much more powerful!" Cao Rui sighed in his heart.
This battle made him deeply realize the gap between second-level magic weapon and first-level magic weapon.
With the blessing of second-level magic weapon, he can easily deal with third-level monsters, and it can even be said to be effortless.
The combat power has made a qualitative leap compared to before.
With this sea dragon as a base, Cao Rui's confidence has doubled.
Cao Rui flew out of the sea, he took out a bottle of purple spirit pills and took a few pills to restore the consumed mana.
Then, he drove his body to fly deeper into the endless sea and continued his journey of hunting monsters. .
......
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The territory of the third-level monster is very wide, and it takes a lot of time to find and explore.
During this month, Cao Rui has been hunting monsters in the Endless Sea, but most of his time is spent on traveling and looking for monsters.
However, with the powerful power of the Cone God Thorn and the Great Five Elements Sword Formation, Cao Rui showed an absolute advantage in the battle with the third-level monsters.
Whenever he found the traces of the third-level monsters, these monsters had almost no chance to escape and would eventually be ruthlessly killed by the sword light.
In the past month, Cao Rui has successfully killed five third-level sea monsters, including the ferocious sea dragon he encountered at the beginning.
On this day, Cao Rui looked at the five third-level demon pills in the storage bag and prepared to temporarily refine the five demon pills for use before continuing to hunt monsters.
Cao Rui found a small island and opened a cave on the island. After a little cover-up, he took out the alchemy furnace from it and began to refine the demon spirit pill.
The medicinal materials required for the second-level demon spirit pill refined with the third-level demon pill are very valuable, and the main function is to remove the demon power and condense the spiritual power.
One auxiliary material is worth 500 spirit stones.
Before Cao Rui left the market, he bought 20 auxiliary materials, spending a total of 10,000 spirit stones.
Cao Rui patted his storage bag, took out the third-level alchemy furnace, lit a fire with ease, and put in the auxiliary materials for the demon spirit pill.
The smell of medicine gradually began to emanate from the cave...
Ten days later.
In the cave, Cao Rui put away the third-level alchemy furnace.
In front of him, five successfully refined demon spirit pills floated.
"Then, let's see if we can break through the fifth level of foundation building."
Cao Rui took out a demon spirit pill and swallowed it into his stomach.
