Chapter 526 Suyan Island
ps: (Thanks to abccd5432 friends for their rewards and the evaluation votes voted by Shunfeng Hidden! Today's second update is delivered!)
The road that Yang Maoqing and Jiang Chen and the others took was less wind and waves, and the monsters along the way also gradually increased from shallow to deep, which was very suitable for trial and hunting monsters. Moreover, Suyan Island is a large trading island in the Purple Mist Sea. It is much more convenient for trading, supply or rest. Therefore, most monks who want to go to the Youwu Waters will choose to enter from Suyan Island.
Along the way, Jiang Chen got along well with two other members of the team, Luo Tiegang and Xu Shengrui. After all, Jiang Chen had accumulated rich experience in dealing with various people in his previous life.
Especially for Xu Shengrui, Jiang Chen even called out Brother Xu and made Xu Shengrui dizzy.
However, Jiang Chen was anxious to get close to Xu Shengrui, and he wanted to learn some practical skills of thunder-type spells from him. He wanted to practice thunder-type spells.
Xu Shengrui was very surprised when he learned Jiang Chen's thoughts. How could a ghost cultivator like Jiang Chen be so interested in the spells of thunder cultivators? You should know that in the Demon Sect, because the demand for ghost cultivators is large, but the number is small, his status is far higher than that of thunder cultivators.
Regarding Xu Shengrui's questions, Jiang Chen told him without any concealment about his idea of practicing thunder magic.
Because he felt that the thunder monks had a suppressive effect on the ghost monks. So he also wanted to learn the magic of the thunder monks, so that he would easily gain the upper hand when facing similar ghost monks.
At the same time, since I have also learned the thunder magic, even if I encounter a thunder monk in the future, I will not be at a loss and cannot deal with it.
Jiang Chen also thought about it carefully. Instead of using vague reasons to hide and explain it, it is better to say it openly. Anyway, he is not a waste of time. He must give the other party certain benefits.
However, Jiang Chen did not expect that after he said the idea of practicing thunder magic, everyone stared at him with a strange look.
After a long time, Yang Maoqing said, "There are some people in our Demon Sect who practice two-type skills at the same time, but most of them practice both the five elements magic, and there are also magics between mutant spiritual roots. For example, the Ice Girl is a dual-cultivation of ice-type thunder. But this is the first time I have heard of both ghost magic and thunder magic."
"Brother Yang, I think Brother Jiang Chen wants to practice thunder magic at the same time. This is a great thing! It means that our thunder cultivator is not bad at all! It's as inconsistent as you imagine!" Xu Shengrui laughed.
After saying that, he patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder again, and then said, "Brother Jiang Chen, practice well! Ask me if you have any questions! I think you have a high understanding, both are good. Maybe you can be as outstanding as ghost magic when practicing thunder magic!"
The reason why he has such a good attitude towards Jiang Chen is because Jiang Chen revealed to him that he is also a third-level alchemist.
You know, alchemists are extremely popular in this world, and any monk has a great demand for elixirs. So Xu Shengrui naturally wants to meet this potential alchemist, and maybe he will ask him for help in the future.
This incident was just a small episode on the way to escort. On the way, they encountered no trouble and arrived at Suyan Island without any danger.
Yang Maoqing first took the goods to the Shang League, handed over a boat of Qingyou Wood to the recipient of the Shang League, and then went to the front desk to receive the spirit stone reward for completing the task.
The task was successfully completed. Yang Maoqing was also very happy. He smiled at everyone and said, "Haha! Today we successfully completed the escort mission. We will enter the foggy waters tomorrow. Let's go to the restaurant to have a drink together in the evening!"
"Hospitality Comes" Restaurant on Suyan Island.
The restaurant was brightly lit, and Jiang Chen, Yang Maoqing and five others were eating supper and drinking sake.
Yang Maoqing was talking to Bing Yuling about all kinds of interesting things he encountered in his career as a casual cultivator. Bing Yuling was listening attentively. Luo Tiegang and Xu Shengrui also interjected a few words from time to time. The funny things they saw in their adventure career made Bing Yuling laugh.
Jiang Chen was also listening attentively. But soon, he heard the monks sitting behind them in the restaurant starting to whisper, which made him very interested.
His spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, so he could hear clearly what the monks on the table said in a low voice.
"Do you know? The battle between the righteous and the demons is about to begin in less than a hundred years?" said the monk Jia.
"Well, I heard that it seems that the ban on Hengduan Mountains has been weakened faster. Now the Demon Sect Elders has not only ordered the ban on all internal struggles, but has also begun to count the levels and number of monks in each sect. It may be necessary to form a combat legion. Fortunately, because the East China Sea is too large, it has not been cleared to us scattered cultivators!" Cultivator B nodded and said.
"But we casual cultivators are afraid that we can't escape. I heard that the scale of this battle between the righteous and the demons is better than any previous battle. When the cultivators from various sects are reorganized, they will be the immortal cultivation family. Next, we casual cultivators should be us." The monk took a sip of wine.
"What are you afraid of him? There are so many cultivators in the Demon Sect, and only the major sects and immortal cultivation families, the Demon Sect Elders will not be able to reorganize them for more than ten years. When it is our turn to be a casual cultivator, it will be twenty or thirty years later!" Cultivator Yi Yin said with a smile.
"Hey, I'll be on the battlefield to be cannon fodder! I heard that in the last battle between the righteous and the demons, more than 90% of the monks died in battle, and it's hard to predict how many of us can survive... Come! Come! Come! Cheers," another monk raised his wine glass and said.
...
"Brother Jiang! Xu is a cup for you!" A shout woke Jiang Chen from the listening and listening.
Only then did he realize that Xu Shengrui was looking at him with a glass of wine.
"Oh, I just thought about something. Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm sorry! I'll drink it all first!" Jiang Chen quickly apologized. Then he drank the wine in the wine glass.
But at this moment, a tall monk in animal skin came over from the table on the side of them. He walked to Bing Yuling with a glass of wine and said, "Girl, have a drink with the uncle!"
Bing Yuling's face suddenly changed. She was the first genius among the foundation-building cultivators in the East China Sea. Although she was not from those major sects, she was also a disciple valued by many old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage. This was the first time she had encountered such a rude and frivolous intentions like this guy.
So she immediately pushed the cup and said angrily: "I won't drink!"
If this monk had not had the cultivation level of the Jindan stage, and the several monks at his table had the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage, she was worried that she would suffer a loss when fighting, but she was afraid that she would kill people on the spot.
"Hmph! Don't toast and not eat and punish me! No woman I like about Huang Dayong can escape from my palm!" The monk named Huang Dayong smiled and stretched out a hand and touched Bing Yuling's pretty face.
Before Bing Yuling got angry, Jiang Chen had already stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "Are you looking for death! Do you really think we are afraid of you?"
After saying that, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and knocked it on Huang Dayong's head.
With a "bang", the bottle immediately broke, and the wine and blood flowed down from Huang Dayong's head with broken glass chips.
Before he could scream, he fainted heavily on the ground.
However, Bing Yuling had not yet clapped her hands, but heard a burst of rapid footsteps. She looked up and saw that more than a dozen monks from the next table had surrounded them and surrounded them. The worst cultivation of these people was also in the late stage of foundation building, most of which were from the early stage of the Golden Pill to the middle stage of the Golden Pill. Their strength was far stronger than that of them.
A fat man in the lead was drawing his sword at Yang Maoqing. Judging from the costumes of these people, it was exactly the same as the monk lying on the ground, and it seemed to be from the same sect.
"Everyone, run to the door. Fight and retreat!" Yang Maoqing immediately shouted when he saw that the situation was not good.
Xu Shengrui and Luo Tiegang immediately stood up and started to take action.
The dozen monks who surrounded them divided the two of them to help Huang Dayong lying on the ground. The others rushed forward and started fighting with Jiang Chen and the others. All kinds of magic and magic weapons suddenly flew across the scene.
The restaurant was immediately in chaos. Seeing this, the owner immediately ordered his friend to call the law enforcement team in the city. The other monks who were still drinking in the restaurant were all away from the battle center area, and some timids ran away quickly. The bold ones hid in the distance to watch the fun.
Because Yang Maoqing took the lead in smashing Huang Dayong unconscious with a bottle of wine, he was tall and strong, and his cultivation was the highest among the people in the group. Therefore, the most people besieged him. He attracted the siege of five or six monks from the other side alone.
Although Yang Maoqing was very brave, the hero could not resist the many people. Although he swung his sword and injured two monks on the other side, he was stabbed several times, and his body was already covered with blood.
Fortunately, both sides still had some sense of responsibility and probably didn't want to kill anyone. After all, the Demon Sect Elders had issued an order to stop all wars. If there was no one, they might be killed. But in the city, both sides still had some worries.
Luo Tiegang is the worst among several people. He is a monk who majored in wind-type martial arts and is good at bows and arrows, but he is only good at long-range attacks, and the spells he learned are mainly wind-type magic. In a narrow place like a restaurant, the hard-back bow that was nearly ten feet long on his back could not be used at all. He could only fight with two opponents holding long swords. As a result, he was knocked down within a few seconds under the attack of the close-range sword.
In contrast, Xu Shengrui had to be much more at ease. He sometimes used lightning technique to help Jiang Chen and Bing Yuling interfere with the opponent's attack. Sometimes he appeared behind the enemy monks in a elusive way and suddenly released a thunder.
Jiang Chen and Bing Yuling were relatively lucky. The enemy monks saw that they were young and had the lowest cultivation level. In addition, they did not hold any magic weapons, so they thought they were ordinary foundation-building cultivators with no combat power, so they did not attack them much. Jiang Chen was able to pull Bing Yuling away from him.
"Jiang Chen, let's use the spells quickly! Help them." Bing Yuling blinked his beautiful eyes a few times and said anxiously.
Jiang Chen nodded and immediately patted the storage bag. The Hundred Ghost Banner flew out with balls of black fog. It grew in the wind in the ghost fog, and suddenly became a banner more than ten feet high, inserted heavily on the ground.
Then Jiang Chen drove his spiritual power, and dozens of ghosts quickly flew out of the banner, and flew towards the monks who were besieging Yang Maoqing with a sound of ghosts and wolves. The monks immediately started to scream, and their hands, feet and shoulders were bitten open by the ghosts, and some people were even torn off. Now Yang Maoqing's pressure was greatly reduced.
Bing Yu Ling quickly pulled out his giant axe and performed the Ice Rain Dance, which instantly hit the legs of several monks around Xu Shengrui.
In an instant, the feet of the monks were frozen to the ground and could not move.
Seeing that the opportunity was inevitable, Xu Shengrui immediately shot over several lightning strikes and knocked down two monks.
"Fuck! That young man and the girl are actually ghost cultivators and ice cultivators... You two rushed up quickly! You must put them down!" The fat monk in the late stage of the Jindan immediately commanded.
Two monks rushed over with their long swords in hand. In such a small space, melee combat is obviously more likely to gain the upper hand than long attacks.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately used the ghost-hidden steps, ran around the tables in the hall, and put a few ghost fire techniques into the venue from time to time, which made the monks who were fighting with Yang Maoqing and Xu Shengrui nervous. After fighting, they were forced to pay attention to their backs. Although they were crowded, they could not take over Yang Maoqing and Xu Shengrui for a while.
The monks who were chasing Jiang Chen closely saw that it was impossible to quickly take down Jiang Chen, so they immediately turned their attack target to Bingyu Ling. Because Bingyu Ling's speed was not fast, they were quickly driven by the two mid-stage Jindan cultivators who rushed forward. Under the continuous melee attacks of these two mid-stage Jindan cultivators, she was unable to successfully use the axe technique with a long attack distance, so she was quickly grabbed by someone else, resulting in being unable to move.
