Mo Wuji was completely out of energy. The four people rowing the boat were not much better off. Seeing that Mo Wuji had no more energy to attack, Ji Guang and co. rowed the boat even more frantically.
Even though the rubber boat was more resistant to the lightning crocodiles' lightning attacks, the rubber boat would not be able to withstand too many lightning attacks. Furthermore, it was raining heavily.
Fortunately, after Mo Wuji killed more than 10 lightning crocodiles, there were only two or three that chased after them. More importantly, these lightning crocodiles were heavily injured by Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji stopped attacking and the rubber boat sped up, the heavily injured lightning crocodiles lost their target, or rather, they lost their source of anger.
Lightning crocodiles were special demonic beasts. They were very vengeful. The more hatred they had, the stronger their life force, the more explosive their attacks, and the more accurate they were. They would only retreat when faced with an overwhelming attack that they could not defend against.
After another two hours or so, the rubber boat stopped on a reef island with a circumference of at least a hundred miles. At this time, the storm had stopped.
Unknowingly, the rain had stopped, and Mo Wuji had recovered some energy. On the other hand, Ji Guang and co. were paralyzed on the ground.
"Brother Mo, it's all thanks to you. We will go up and rest for a while. You can drag the rubber boat up and hide it among the rocks." Ji Guang was the first to climb up the reef island. Unknowingly, he had changed the way he addressed Mo Wuji from brother Mo to brother Mo.
Even though Mo Wuji's injuries were not light, and his entire body felt like it was being torn apart. However, among the few of them here, he was the one with the most energy.
"Wuji, I give up," Ding Bu'Er climbed up shakily. He could not even lift his arms.
Both Gao Juan and Sun Liyan looked at Mo Wuji with a tinge of respect in their eyes. Their initial disdain had long disappeared without a trace.
Even though they were exhausted, they were just doing manual labor. Mo Wuji was the real barrier. If not for Mo Wuji, the lightning crocodiles would have surrounded the rubber boat, and none of them would have been able to escape.
"Brother Ji, is this the place?" Mo Wuji looked at the rugged reef island in the distance. He could only see within a hundred meters of it.
Mo Wuji did not say much about how he fought against the lightning crocodiles. In reality, if he did not intentionally hold back the lightning crocodiles, Ji Guang and co. might not have been held back by them. Of course, it was only a possibility, so he still played a role.
"That's right, it's here. I have been to this place once, and not many people know about it. Wuji, you contributed the most this time. Furthermore, because you left in such a hurry, you didn't even obtain a single Lightning Crocodile material. As long as we obtain more than two Winged Sea Leopard eggs on this reef island, you will get one first. "Ji Guang's tone was filled with sincerity, and his manner of speaking had greatly changed.
No one had any objections to Ji Guang's words. Strength represented everything. Mo Wuji was able to block the lightning crocodiles along the way and even kill more than 10 of them. This kind of strength was probably even stronger than him, Ji Guang. Mo Wuji's strength had won their respect.
Naturally, Mo Wuji did not say much. He was not here for the lightning crocodile materials, nor for the Winged Sea Leopard eggs. He had used the lightning crocodiles to open his meridians. Now, he had achieved his goal. As for the eggs of the Winged Sea Leopard, it would be best if he could get his hands on them.
"I suggest that we rest here for the night and set off tomorrow morning." Mo Wuji knew that everyone was tired and had not slept for a long time. If they continued to search for the Winged Sea Leopard eggs under such circumstances, they would be sending themselves to their graves. Similarly, his injuries were severe, and he needed to rest for the night to heal.
Gao Juan nodded, "I agree with Brother Mo's suggestion. We should rest here for the night."
Even though Ji Guang really wanted to set off earlier, Mo Wuji had spoken up, and Gao Juan had also agreed to Mo Wuji's suggestion.
...
The torrential rain had stopped long ago, and only the violent waves continued to crash against the reef. Other than Ding Bu'Er, the other four had all cultivated before. Thus, Ding Bu'Er fell asleep the moment he entered the cave, while Mo Wuji and the other three sat down to cultivate.
After clearing 27 meridians, Mo Wuji's cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds. Even though the spiritual energy here was not dense, it still formed an invisible spiritual energy circuit around his body.
After a night's rest, Mo Wuji felt energized. Not only did his injuries recover, he also felt that his strength had increased significantly.
"Brother Mo, are you cultivating the Basics of Cultivation?" Ji Guang was the first to ask after everyone woke up in the morning. His cultivation level was low, so he could not feel the movements from Mo Wuji's cultivation. He saw that Mo Wuji's posture was very similar to the Basics of Cultivation.
Mo Wuji laughed, "Yes, I can't afford other cultivation techniques, so I chose the Basics of Cultivation."
Ji Guang said seriously, "Brother Mo, with your strength, you can definitely change to a better cultivation technique. Lightning crocodiles are actually very valuable, so I suggest that you find a team and rent a boat to hunt for them. Not long after, you will be able to purchase a very good Mortal grade cultivation technique. The Basics of Cultivation is too slow, and it requires a large amount of resources. The gains do not make up for the losses. "
Mo Wuji replied noncommittally, "My spiritual roots are very poor, so I am already very lucky to be able to cultivate. As for the quality of the cultivation technique, I am not particular about it. Moreover, my cultivation technique has a very arrogant name, the Immortal Mortal Technique. That name will bring me a lot of face. "
"Keke..." This time, Ji Guang and the other two laughed, but did not say anything else. This was the first time he saw a person disregarding his own future for the sake of a cultivation technique name.
"Wuji, can you cultivate now?" Ding Bu'Er asked softly.
Mo Wuji patted Ding Bu'Er's shoulder and said, "Go back and start cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique. My spiritual roots are very poor, almost non-existent, but I can still cultivate. Who knows, maybe you can too."
Mo Wuji decided to find a way to help Ding Bu'Er open his meridians after he stabilized himself.
"I can really cultivate?" Ding Bu'Er asked excitedly. In his eyes, immortal masters were existences that were far beyond his reach. How could he not be surprised when Mo Wuji said that he could also cultivate?
Ji Guang also laughed and said, "As long as you have a little bit of spirituality, even if your spiritual roots are the worst, you can still cultivate. The only difference is that there are high and low achievements. "
Hearing this, Ding Bu'Er's spirit was lifted. Maybe he also had a little bit of spiritual roots. Unlike Mo Wuji, he did not have the chance to take the official test. This was because out of 10,000 people, 9,999 people had mortal roots. He came from an ordinary background, and his ancestors all had mortal roots, so naturally, he also had mortal roots.
Unlike Mo Wuji, he did not care whether he had spiritual roots or mortal roots. Now that he was in the imperial capital, and there were many people with spiritual roots around, it made his heart burn with passion. Moreover, mortals were bullied by others, which made him want to become stronger.
"Let's go." After a night of rest, everyone had recovered. Ji Guang waved his hand and led the way.
This reef island was very vast. The five of them walked for more than two hours, and they were still shuttling back and forth between the strange reefs.
Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask Ji Guang if he had confirmed the direction, he heard a scream from beside him.
Mo Wuji was the first to fall to the ground. At the same time, he saw clearly who the scream was. It was the silent Sun Liyan. At this moment, Mo Wuji could clearly see that there was a bloody hole on the right side of Sun Liyan's chest.
"Everyone, don't move. This is an Arrow Shooting Beast. This beast's arrows have a corrosive effect. Once you are hit, it will be extremely painful and torturous. "Ji Guang was the first to shout. At the same time, he took out a pill and gave it to Sun Liyan.
Sun Liyan let out a miserable cry when he was pierced, but he was ruthless enough to not make a single sound. After taking the pill from Ji Guang and swallowing it, he took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound before wrapping it up. Fortunately, he did not injure any vital organs. Coupled with the good medicine, the bleeding had already stopped.
The five of them moved together. Ding Bu'Er asked softly, "Where are the Arrow Shooting Beasts? Why didn't I see them? "
Ji Guang said seriously, "The Arrow Shooting Beasts are good at camouflage. Sometimes, they can disguise themselves as a rock. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to tell. Most of the people who died while searching for Winged Sea Leopard eggs did not die from the Winged Sea Leopard, but from the Arrow Shooting Beasts. "
Everyone subconsciously turned to look at Reef. Another blood-curdling scream was heard.
This time, the five of them were clear that the scream did not come from one of them.
"Other than us, there's someone else here." As soon as Gao Juan finished speaking, she saw two figures stumbling out from the corner of the reef in front of them.
Just as the two of them rushed out, a strong black shadow descended from the sky. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed one of them.
"This is the Winged Sea Leopard?" Ding Bu'Er asked in shock. He saw that the black shadow that swallowed a person had a leopard's head. The only difference was that this sea beast's mouth was much bigger and it had a pair of black wings on its back.
Mo Wuji was also shocked. Who said that the Winged Sea Leopard was weak? It killed a person in one bite, and you call that weak?
