Earthly Deity Chapter 60

Mo Wuji was already completely off his feet, and the four people rowing the boat were not much better than Mo Wuji. Seeing Mo Wuji’s inability to attack anymore, Ji Guang and the others were even more frantic in rowing the boat.

Although the leather boat was more resistant to the Thunder Crocodile’s lightning flash attacks, but with more lightning flash attacks, the leather boat wouldn’t be able to stop them, not to mention that it was still raining.

Luckily, after more than ten thunder crocodiles were killed by Mo Wuji, the thunder crocodiles that had been chasing after them were only two or three. More importantly, these few thunder crocodiles had all been heavily injured by Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji stopped attacking and the leather boat picked up speed, these few severely injured thunder crocodiles soon lost their target, or the source of their anger.

The Thunder Crocodile was a very peculiar type of demonic beast, they were the most vindictive. The more hatred they had, then the stronger their life force was, the stronger their attacks and explosions were, and they also recognised their targets. Unless faced with an overwhelming attack, they had absolutely no room for resistance, which was why they would retreat.

After another two hours or so, the leather boat stopped on top of a reef island that was at least a hundred miles in circumference, and at this moment the torrential rain had stopped.

Mo Wuji had recovered some of his stamina, instead, Ji Guang’s four people were paralysed with exhaustion.

“Brother Mo, thanks to you this time, let’s go up and rest for a bit, just drag the leather boat up and hide it in the middle of the reef.” Ji Guang was the first to climb up to the reef island, his title unknowingly changed from Brother Mo to Brother Mo.

Although Mo Wuji’s injuries were not small, there was a tearing sensation all over his body. But right now, amongst the few people here, he was considered to be the one with the most strength.

“Wuji, I’m convinced.” Ding Bu Er staggered and climbed up, barely even able to lift his arms.

The two of them, Gao Juan and Sun Liyan, looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of awe, and their original slight disdain had long disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Although they were almost off their feet, that was just the hard labour they did. What Mo Wuji did was the real barrier, if Mo Wuji wasn’t blocking the back, once that many thunder crocodiles surrounded the leather boat, none of them would be able to walk away.

“Brother Ji, is this the place?” Mo Wuji looked at the rugged reef island in the distance, where he could only see up to a hundred metres as far as his eyes could reach.

Mo Wuji didn’t say much about his resistance against the thunder crocodile. In reality, if he hadn’t intentionally entangled the Thunder Crocodile, Ji Guang’s people might not have been entangled by the Thunder Crocodile. Of course, it was only possible, so he still played a role.

“That’s right, this is the place. I’ve been to this place once before, and not many people know about it. Wuji, this time, you put in the most effort. And because you left too quickly, you didn’t get a single Thunder Crocodile material. As long as you get more than two Sea Winged Leopard eggs on this reef island, you’ll share one first.” Ji Guang’s tone had sincerity in it, and his manner of speaking had changed greatly.

No one had any objections to Ji Guang’s words, strength meant everything. Mo Wuji was able to block the Thunder Crocodile all the way and decapitated more than a dozen of them, I’m afraid that this kind of strength was a little stronger than even him, Ji Guang. Mo Wuji’s strength earned respect.

Mo Wuji naturally wouldn’t say much, he was neither here for the Thunder Crocodile materials nor for the Sea Winged Leopard’s eggs. He was using the Thunder Crocodile to blast open the veins, and now his purpose had been achieved. As for the Sea Winged Leopard’s egg, it would be best if he could get it, and it would be fine if he couldn’t.

“I suggest resting here for the night and leaving early tomorrow morning.” Mo Wuji knew that the crowd was tired, plus they hadn’t slept for a long time. Going down to search for the Sea Winged Leopard’s egg in this situation would most likely send even himself up. Similarly, he himself was severely injured and needed to rest for a night to heal his wounds before he could do so.

Gao Juan nodded his head and said “I agree with Brother Mo, rest here for a night before we talk.”

Although Ji Guang was eager to set off early to look for it, Mo Wuji had spoken and Gao Juan had also agreed and agreed with Mo Wuji’s opinion.

……

The torrential rain had stopped long ago, and only the raging waves were constantly lapping against the reef shore. Here, apart from Ding Bu Er, the other four had all cultivated. Therefore, Ding Bu Er entered the cavern and fell asleep, while Mo Wuji’s four were each meditating and practising their Qi.

Having penetrated the 27 meridians, Mo Wuji’s cultivation speed was even more furious. Even though the heaven and earth aura here was not dense, it still formed an invisible aura circuit around him.

After waking up for the night, Mo Wuji’s spirit had doubled, not only was his injuries greatly improved, but he also felt that his strength had increased a lot.

“Brother Mo, could it be that what you are cultivating is the Qi Practising Foundation?” After everyone got up in the morning, Ji Guang was the first to ask. His cultivation level was low, so he couldn’t feel the movements of Mo Wuji’s cultivation. The posture he saw Mo Wuji cultivating in was very much like Qi Practising Foundation.

Mo Wuji smiled, “Yes, I couldn’t afford any other technique, so I simply chose the Qi Practising Foundation.”

Ji Guang said with a straight face, “Brother Mo, your strength can totally change to a better cultivation technique. The value of the Thunder Crocodile is actually very high, so I suggest that in the future, you specifically find someone to form a team and then rent a boat to go out to sea to hunt the Six Legged Thunder Crocodile. It won’t be long before you’ll be able to purchase a very good fine human level technique. The Qi Practising Foundation’s cultivation speed is too slow, and it also requires a large amount of cultivation resources, which is more than worth it.”

Mo Wuji said noncommittally, “My spiritual root is very poor, I’m already considered very lucky to be able to cultivate. As for the good or bad of the gongfu, I am not too particular about it either. What’s more, the technique I cultivate has an arrogant name, Immortal Mortal Technique, how dignified is this to say out loud.”

“Hehe ……” This time, Ji Guang and the three of them laughed at the same time, not being able to say anything else. It was the first time he saw a person who disregarded his own future for the sake of the name of the technique having face.

“Wuji, you can cultivate now?” Ding Bu Er asked in a small voice.

Mo Wuji patted Ding Bu Er and said, “You go back and start cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique as well, my spiritual roots are very poor, almost non-existent, and I can even cultivate, so maybe you can cultivate as well.”

Mo Wuji decided that once his side was stabilised, he would find a way to help Ding Bu Er open up his meridians.

“I can really cultivate?” Ding Bu Er asked in surprise, Immortal Masters were all high and untouchable existences in his eyes. Mo Wuji said that he could also cultivate, how could he not be pleasantly surprised?

Ji Guang also smiled and said, “As long as one has a little bit of spirituality, even with the worst spiritual root qualification, one can still cultivate. The only difference, that is just that there is a high or low level of achievement.”

Hearing this, Ding Bu Er’s spirit lifted, maybe he also had a tiny bit of spirit root. Unlike Mo Wuji, he wouldn’t have the chance to do a formal test. This was because out of 10,000 people, 9,999 were mortal roots, and someone like him, who came from an ordinary background and whose ancestors were all mortal roots, would naturally be mortal roots as well.

What was different from Mo Wuji’s thoughts was that he didn’t care about whether he was a spirit root or a mortal root. It was just that now that he had arrived in the Imperial Capital, the many Spiritual Root possessors around him caused more fire in his heart. Coupled with the fact that mortals were bullied, it even gave him the idea of becoming stronger.

“Go, set off.” After a whole night’s rest, everyone was recovering. Ji Guang even waved his hand and was the first to lead the way.

This piece of reef island was very vast, and the five of them walked for more than two hours, still travelling between the many oddly shaped reefs.

Walking like this wasn’t a solution, Mo Wuji was about to ask Ji Guang if he had set a direction when he heard a miserable scream from his side.

Mo Wuji was the first to pounce on the ground, at the same time, he also saw clearly who the person who was screaming miserably was, it was that Sun Liyan who had been silent all along. At this moment, Mo Wuji clearly saw a bloody hole in Sun Liyan’s right chest, with blood continuously gushing out.

“Everyone, don’t move, this is the Arrow Spewing Beast. The arrows spewed out by this beast carries a corrosive effect, once shot, it is extremely painful and torturous.” Ji Guang was the first to call out, while taking out an elixir and giving it to Sun Liyan.

Apart from letting out a miserable cry when he was first stabbed, Sun Liyan was ruthless enough not to make another half a sound. After receiving the medicine given by Ji Guang and swallowing it, he himself took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it onto the wound before wrapping it up. Fortunately, he didn’t injure the fatal vitals, plus the medicine used was good, it had already stopped the bleeding.

The five people moved together, and Ding Bu Er asked in a low voice, “Where is the Arrow Spitting Beast? How come I didn’t see it?”

Ji Guang said gruffly, “The Spraying Arrow Beast is the best at camouflage, sometimes it disguises itself as a piece of rock, and without paying attention it simply can’t be seen open. Most of those who came here to look for seal eggs and died, didn’t die from the seal, but from the Spraying Arrow Beast.”

The crowd subconsciously all looked at the reef around them, and another scream came out.

This time all five of them were clear that the miserable scream was not from the middle of the five of them.

“Apart from us, someone else has arrived here.” Just as Gao Juan’s words fell, he saw two silhouettes stumbling out from the corner of the reef in front of him.

Those two people had only just rushed out when a sturdy black shadow rushed down into the sky, opening its mouth wide and directly biting and swallowing one of them.

“This is the Sea Winged Leopard?” Ding Bu Er asked in shock as he saw that this black shadow that swallowed one person had a head that was similar to that of a leopard. The difference was that this sea beast’s mouth was much larger, and there was an extra pair of black wings on its back.

Mo Wuji was also shocked, who said that sea winged leopards were weak in combat? This bite took out a person, how can you call it weak?
