The crisis of cultivation

Ye Fan tried to practice several blood-based combat skills such as "Blood Eagle", "Blood Wings" and "Blood Burn" on the coast of Blue Water Sand Island.

The sky is getting dark and the vision is dimming.

Once night falls, the islands at sea will become very dangerous. No one knows what sea beasts will quietly lurk ashore, and Wu Zun's vision at night is obviously not as good as that of sea beasts, making it difficult to fight in the wild.

Ye Fan is not very familiar with the situation at sea.

He took out a set of clothes from the package and replaced the broken clothes. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, for the sake of safety, I did not stay on the coast of the island and got up to go to the small mining village halfway up the mountain.

...

High in the mine village, there is a towering wooden watchtower.

The tower is ten feet high, with a pergola above it, where four or five people can stand.

At this time, a tall and sturdy Han Wuzun, a thin Wuzun, and a fat Wuzun were looking at the foot of the island in the distance from the wooden pagoda.

The three of them had long heard the sound of explosions of vitality combat skills coming from the foot of the island mountain from time to time, as well as the big noise of falling trees. It's just that it's too far away and the trees are dense and obscure, so it's impossible to see what's going on at the foot of the mountain.

Moreover, they did not want to take a trip into the muddy water, so they just stayed in the mine and did not go down the mountain to see the situation.

They were all waiting in the mine village to see Ye Fan make a fool of himself and become the laughing stock of everyone in the mine village. From now on, Ye Fan would never be able to hold his head up again.

Wait until the sky is almost completely dark.

"Brother! That kid has been at the bottom of the mountain for so long. Is something going to happen? Listening to the sound just now, the beating seemed a bit fierce. It's been a long time and I haven't seen him come up! It's already dark. We Do you want to go down and look for him?"

The thin Wu Zun looked at the dark sky and said worriedly.

"Hmph, what good can we get if we offend that turtle beast! Our three brothers have been guarding the mining village on this island for more than a year or two. We have also fought against that turtle beast, but between the three of us Even with its strength, it didn't take any advantage. And it attacked the mine village several times at night, which made us miserable. After more than half a year, it got angry, and then it stopped. That kid was only on the first level of Martial Lord, and he ran away alone. If you provoke it, it will be easy to get beaten!"

The sturdy man crossed his arms, looked down the mountain, and sneered.

"Brother is right, how much strength can a newcomer at the martial arts level have! In my opinion, I am afraid that he is seriously injured at this time, but he has no shame to come back to see people, and is hiding somewhere on the island to recover. Brother, you Why are you so worried about him?"

Fatty said with a smile.

The thin Wu Zun shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this kid's safety, but when President Zheng comes to the island again next month by sea ship, if we find that this kid is seriously injured or dead, our faces will be very ugly. . President Zheng is afraid that he will doubt us even more and tamper with us in the mine!"

"What the second brother said makes sense! We didn't touch him, but if he dies, he will make us miserable in vain!"

Hearing this, the burly man's face darkened and he said: "This is only the first day on the island, we can't let him die like this. We will still have a chance in the future to deal with him slowly. Let's do this, I will guard the mine, you guys The two of them went down to pick him up and see if he was seriously injured or dead? After dark, the island was not very safe. If the boy was injured, he would probably die if he encountered a sea beast again at night. No matter he was dead or alive, he would be killed. Bring him back so that everyone in the mine can see clearly that he died on his own, so as not to throw dirty water all over us in vain."

 "okay!"

The thin Wu Zun and the fat Wu Zun responded and were about to get off the wooden tower when they saw a guard below opening the door of the mine village.

Ye Fan returned to the mining village safe and sound.

He recovered as usual, without any trace of embarrassment, and without any wounds on his body. This was no different from when he went down to the island to find Turtle Master.

"Didn't this kid have a fight with Turtle Master? How come nothing happened?"

"Could he be on the coast of the island, pretending to be a fierce battle by himself, and deliberately scare us?!"

The three warriors on the wooden tower were suddenly shocked and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes and full of doubts.

"Brother Lu, where should I stay tonight?"

Ye Fan took a look at the simple mining village and said to the sturdy man on the wooden tower.

"Ah~?!"

The sturdy man surnamed Lu came to his senses and immediately ordered to the several warrior guards in the village, "You guys will clean up a room for little brother Ye immediately! Please be smarter!"

The environment inside this mining village is very simple. There is a bottomless stone tunnel several feet in size on the rock wall, which leads deep into the mountainside of the island. It is a mining tunnel. The miners spent most of their time inside, occasionally coming out to bask in the sun during the day.

In order to facilitate defense, this mining village was made very small and compact, with an area of only three or four acres of land.

There is only room for a row of seven or eight wooden houses in the village, so only the highest-ranking people on the mining island, including Lu Guang and other three warriors and several supervisors, can live in them.

As one of the only four martial masters on Mine Island, Ye Fan is naturally qualified to be allocated a room. As for which unlucky foreman was squeezed out, I don't know.

...

The days at sea are very monotonous.

Life on the Buji Islands can no longer be described as boring and boring. All I can say is that being a guard on an island like this is no different than going to jail.

The life here is not as lively and lively as in Donglai City. You can have fun in restaurants, inns, and martial arts arenas to pass the time at any time.

But in this island mining village, there is nothing that the guards need to do, they just need to stand guard. They look at the mountains and forests on the island, the sea and other islands in the distance every day. daze.

If it is discovered that a sea beast has climbed onto the island and attacked the mine village, the guards of the mine village will either fight the sea beast desperately, or hide in the mine and wait for the sea beast to leave on its own.

Lu Guang and the other three Martial Lords, as the guard leaders of the mining island, guard the island like this every day.

They don't want to stay on this boring island, but due to their low strength, apart from being sentry on this island, they can't find any other job that can earn Yuan Stone.

On this island, it is almost impossible for them to hunt down the Sea Beast Lord. Maybe they could kill one or two sea beasts at the expense of their lives and serious injuries, but the harvest would not be as much as the cost of healing, so it was definitely not cost-effective.

Guarding the mine here, you can earn two yuan stones per month as wages, and you can only buy two lowest-level yuanqi pills.

If you save up and buy the lowest level vitality skill rune, you have to save for five months before you can afford it. If you want to buy practice runes, the cost will be even greater, and you will have to save for several years before you can afford it.

For the three of them, the only hope of staying on this island is to secretly steal some blue water and sea sand from the mine, take it back to Donglai City, sell it, and store a few yuan stones.

Lu Guang and the other three martial masters had this selfish intention, so they were naturally jealous of Ye Fan. They did not arrange anything for Ye Fan in the mine, and just let him stay outside the mine as he pleased, as long as he did not interfere with their affairs.

Ye Fan noticed the overt and covert hostility and rejection of the three martial arts masters towards him, and obviously did not want him to interfere in the affairs of the mine.

Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't particularly care.

I came to this island just to find a place where I could practice blood-based combat skills with peace of mind. As long as others don't offend him, he won't offend other martial masters.

The three warriors in the mine village did not arrange any chores for him and kept a distance from him, which was exactly what Ye Fan wanted.

He has enough time to practice combat skills.

In a flash, seven or eight days passed.

During these days, Ye Fan left the mining village at dawn every morning and patrolled around the Blue Water Sand Island to see if there were any traces of sea beasts climbing onto the island.

Ye Fan flicked his fingers and shot out a drop of blood from his fingers.

After casting the "Blood Eagle" battle talisman, this drop of energy and blood instantly turned into a blood eagle, flying hundreds of feet in the sky over the island, carefully searching for traces of the beasts in the dense mountains and jungles of the Blue Water Sand Island.

After spending two days, Ye Fan used the blood eagle to search all the dangerous places on the Blue Water Sand Island, which was dozens of miles around.

A total of three snake caves were found in the dense forest, and an eagle nest on the cliff. There are more than ten snakes and beasts and three eagles.

Regrettably, they are all ferocious beast-level orcs, with the highest being at the seventh level of the ferocious beast stage, and the lowest being only at the first stage of the ferocious beast stage.

Ye Fan tried to use them to practice blood-based combat skills.

He soon discovered that although he could use the blood talisman combat skills by absorbing the energy and blood of these ferocious beasts, it could only last for a very short time. For example, the Blood Wings combat skill only lasted for a short period of time before disintegrating. This effect was far less effective than the Beast Lord's energy and blood.

The Qi and blood of the ferocious beast is much weaker than the Qi and blood of the Beast Master, so it has little effect.

Ye Fan simply wiped out all the useless ferocious beasts he found, so that they would not get in the way on the island and interfere with his pursuit of the Sea Beast Lord.

After cleaning up the ferocious beasts on the entire Blue Water Sand Island, Ye Fan began to concentrate on searching for the Beast Lord.

Only the Beast Lord's energy and blood can satisfy the needs of his blood-based combat skills training.

On the seabed on the edge of the coast of the Blue Water Sand Island, there was only one turtle beast of about third grade.

Ye Fan stayed at the coast, waiting for the turtle beast every day.

I waited for about seven or eight days.

After he absorbed 20% of the Qi and blood of this turtle beast, he ate a lot of fat fish on the seabed to replenish Qi and blood, and finally recovered. After returning to his full strength, he dared to surface and continue fighting Ye Fan.

Ye Fan spent less than half an hour to absorb 20% of the turtle beast's vitality and blood, and exhausted the turtle beast's vitality before it sank to the bottom of the sea again to cultivate.

He was worried that the turtle beast would discover his intention of using it to practice combat skills, but he did not dare to absorb too much of its energy and blood. It only takes a small amount of 10% to 20% of the blood to make a tie, giving it the illusion of even power.

It is estimated that this turtle beast will not be able to recover within seven or eight days.

Ye Fan calculated that the 20% energy and blood of a turtle beast only allowed him to practice for half an hour, which was obviously not enough for his practice.

It takes at least seven or eight beast masters, and he takes turns beating one every day, which is enough for him to practice for half an hour every day.

This is the minimum level of practice.

If he wanted to practice with high intensity, he would need to practice for more than five hours every day. This would require at least seventy or eighty beast masters to take turns fighting with him, so that he could quickly practice blood-based combat skills and increase the power of blood-based combat skills. .

"Blood-based combat skills have advantages and disadvantages! Combat skills are powerful and domineering... but they require a lot of energy and blood and continuous use of combat skills to improve the level of proficiency in combat skills. If you can't find it, With enough Qi and blood, the progress of cultivation is extremely slow. It takes no time to raise the first level of blood-based combat skills to the second level."

Ye Fan thought to himself that his desire to fight more beast masters had become extremely strong.

The Buji Archipelago consists of nearly a hundred large and small islands. He thought that there might also be sea beasts living near the seabed of other islands.

Some of these sea beasts like to settle in certain places, while others like to roam freely in the sea.

Sea beasts like to settle down. They build nests on the bottom of the sea and only move within a radius of dozens of miles around their nests. They will not run too far.

The wandering sea beasts do not have a fixed nest, they move around in the sea area of hundreds or thousands of miles, and even go to further sea areas.

After these seven or eight days, Ye Fan was not satisfied with the fighting on the Blue Water Sand Island, and his blood-based combat skills were slow to practice.

He set his sights on the entire Buji Islands, thinking, and went around hundreds of other islands, looking for more beast masters.

However, these islands do not belong to Chairman Zheng's Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. There are mines of other forces on some islands, which can easily lead to misunderstandings and think that he has plans for these islands.

"If I can only practice blood-based combat skills once every seven or eight days, and it only lasts for half an hour, my five blood-based combat skills will not be able to improve at the level of power! I will not be able to break through the first level in ten years, and learning will be in vain. I Continuing to stay on this blue water sand island is a waste of time. It is no different from Lu Guang and the other three who are struggling to survive. Regardless of this, we must go to other islands to find more Sea Beast Lords! This archipelago I must find more than thirty beast masters to barely support my training of blood-based combat skills."

Ye Fan felt cruel and decided to go to other islands in the Buji Islands to risk more sea beasts.

If you cannot meet this quantitative standard, you must leave here and find more places for Sea Beast Lord to practice. He didn't believe that the East China Sea was so big that he wouldn't be able to find enough tribes of Sea Beast Lords to satisfy his cultivation.
