Chapter 116: Divert away
A few days later, Li Zhirui and his party returned to Darong Island dragging their tired bodies and rich harvest.
Their team was the first to come back, not because they were the strongest, but because there were not many water monsters in the northern sea.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Zhizhun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone returned safe and sound, and said, "Everyone, please go back and rest."
Li Zhirui did not leave just yet. After all, he took action twice during this hunting. One was to kill the second-level fish monster, and the other was to save a tribesman from the mouth of a water snake in the late stage of Qi training. , and didn’t feel tired.
"How is the family prepared?"
Li Zhizhun said: "During this period, the family has purchased a lot of supplies from Fangshi. The current accumulation is enough for more than a month, so don't worry."
"It's just that the family's acquisition has attracted a lot of people's attention, causing the price of the next batch of materials to rise a lot."
No matter what, the Li family is now the second largest force in Yunping Prefecture, and there are many people watching. The purchase of large amounts of materials is quite active, so it is difficult not to be discovered.
"It doesn't matter, the family has already made preparations anyway." Could it be possible that they could cause trouble for the Li family because of this?
After thinking about it, Li Zhirui asked, "Brother, when are you going to spread the word about the beast tide?"
"Yesterday I went to Xin Yuan Mingzong, the Zheng family and other various forces. As for whether they believe it or not, I don't know."
The beast tide is not a trivial matter. Li Zhizhun did not hide any information, but he also made it clear that this was just their speculation. As for whether it was true or not, it was up to each individual to judge.
What they don't know is that the prices of Qi-Building Pills, Blood-Building Pills, Talismans and other resources in the market have skyrocketed overnight, reaching 30% higher than the previous day!
"What's going on? A bottle of Qi-Building Pill actually costs thirteen spirit stones. Isn't this robbery?!" A casual cultivator suddenly shouted.
The clerk Lao Shen was there and said: "You can go to other stores and have a look. The price of Qi-Building Pills is now the same. I might as well tell you that the price of Qi-Building Pills will be higher tomorrow!"
As the guy said, all the shops in the city are increasing their prices now, and the prices are still rising.
Some old casual cultivators soon noticed something was wrong and began to run around to find out the news.
The merchants who were still resting in Fangshi all had a keen sense of smell. They immediately realized that something big was going to happen in Yunping Prefecture. After a little inquiry, they found out that the Li family had sent news of the beast tide yesterday.
And this news has been confirmed by various families, so those stores have increased their prices.
At this time, the merchants who had supplies in hand were not in a hurry to leave Fangshi, and were even trying to find ways to purchase some resources from Qingshan Prefecture, preparing to make a fortune while the war was going on.
The Li family had the old man Li Shilian and the presence of the hunting team, so they discovered that the beast tide was about to attack.
Other strengths may not be as lucky and sensitive as the Li family, but it's not that they don't have ways to verify themselves.
Especially the three families of Zheng, Jiang, and He. They were either busy exploring spiritual veins in other places, or they were hiding on the island and did not dare to go out, so they were unaware of the changes in the boundless sea.
Now being reminded by the Li family, it was quickly determined that the beast tide was really going to break out, and the three families were very scared about this.
Needless to say, the He family was massacred by the robbers. So far, there are only a dozen members of the clan. The situation of the other two families is better, but now they have many clansmen out to explore, and they are not even sure of their location. They cannot get there in a short time. return.
Although the location of the three families is on the second front against the beast tide, and there will be a large number of monks stationed on the island chain in front of them to resist, it does not mean that they are safe.
You know, in previous years' beast tides, all three of them would have lost part of their manpower, let alone this situation.
In order to survive this beast tide, the patriarchs of the three families gathered on Sequoia Island to discuss what they should do to survive.
"If you don't want the family to be ruined or even extinct, then find a way to divert the trouble!" Chief Zheng said solemnly.
A glint flashed in the eyes of the other two people, and Patriarch He said: "Brother Taoist has always been resourceful, I guess he has a way?"
"Lead the beast tide to the west." He did not hide his plan and directly stated the method, saying: "Deploy the demon-inducing liquid in the sea between the three islands, and guide the water demon to the west step by step."
The two frowned slightly. This idea seemed to be a good one. It could not only weaken the beast tide they encountered, but also use the beast tide to weaken the Li family's strength. But the question was, how to arrange it?
You must know that the demon attracting liquid can only attract monsters within a few miles at most, and they are at least three hundred miles away from Darong Island. Just buying enough demon attracting liquid will cost a large amount of spiritual stones.
And if you think about this idea carefully, you will find that there are many loopholes. For example, how can they guarantee that they can lure away a large number of water monsters?
"This is our best solution!" The head of the Zheng family knew what they were thinking when he saw their expressions, and said coldly:
"In this way, the three of us may be able to preserve our strength as much as possible. Otherwise, once our strength declines, will the Li family give up this great opportunity to destroy us?"
How could he not know the disadvantages of this method? But other than that, they have no other way to rely on themselves.
"How about asking Yuan Mingzong for help?" Patriarch He suggested.
"Then what price are you prepared to pay to invite them to take action?" Patriarch Zheng sneered: "Yuan Mingzong now wishes that we would die in the beast tide!"
Yuan Mingzong can recruit them at will, as long as they give some benefits, but if these vassal forces want to ask Yuan Mingzong for help, the price they have to pay is not small!
Ultimately, it is because the area of Yunping Prefecture is too small, and there are many foundation-building families in this place. As a result, the Yuanming Sect's mountain gate is not large. It wishes for the destruction of one family so that it can have a reason to take over the clan they have been running for a long time. land.
When the He family was exterminated, Yuan Mingzong had similar thoughts. However, the robbers made too much noise and made it known to everyone. If they swallowed up the He family land at this time, they would probably lose the sect's face.
Moreover, the He family is too far away from the mountain gate of Yuan Mingzong. If you want to ensure that no accidents occur, a lot of manpower must be invested, so Yuan Mingzong will give up control of the He family land.
But now, Yuan Mingzong absolutely hopes that the three of them will be wiped out, so that they can take the three islands into their pockets, and then use some means to exchange clan land with the families in Yunping Prefecture and expand the mountain gate.
"So this matter can only be solved by ourselves!" Patriarch Zheng looked at the two people with a solemn expression.
The two clan leaders were silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "In that case, let's go to the market to buy the demon attracting liquid."
At this time, the Li family was still making final preparations before the beast tide came, and had no idea that the three families to the east were plotting against them.
