Chapter 120 Loss (please order first!)

"Damn it!" Li Zhirui couldn't help but curse in a low voice as he looked at the water demon in the river getting closer and closer to Ling Lake.

However, he currently lacks mana in his body and is unable to stop the attack of the water monsters. This is not only his problem, but also the other tribesmen on the spirit ship.

Even some tribesmen with lower cultivation levels have restored their mana several times through the Spirit Replenishing Pill. Even after full refining, their meridians can no longer bear it.

Li Zhirui could only seize the time to recover more mana and try to stop the water monsters for a while longer.

"Why haven't Uncle Ren and the others come here yet? Are there many water monsters in the south?" Thinking of this, Li Zhirui's heart couldn't stop sinking.

If this is the case, then what the Li family will face will be the most critical moment in the ten years since they moved to Darong Island!

"boom!"

Those water monsters are like puppets who are not afraid of death. They are all swimming forward crazily despite the attacks from Li Zhirui and others. Not to mention that now that their mana has been exhausted, they are unable to stop the water monsters from swimming towards the Spirit Lake. .

I could only watch helplessly as they frantically attacked the spirit lake's formation, causing all kinds of spirit beasts in the lake to wander around in shock.

And according to the attack frequency of the water monsters, I am afraid that this formation will be broken by them in less than a quarter of an hour!

As for the formations used to divide the territories of various spiritual beasts in the Spirit Lake, they are now even more shaky and on the verge of fragmentation.

After all, this is just a simple first-order formation, and its defensive power is not strong.

"Crack!"

The internal formation shattered, and there was no barrier between the blue-headed fish, white water shrimp, flower-scaled fish and other spiritual beasts raised in the spiritual lake.

Those black ducks actually took advantage of this opportunity to capture the young of these three species and devour them. They did not look frightened at all, but instead cruised around the Ling Lake excitedly to hunt for food.

Li Zhirui was heartbroken when he saw this scene. In just a short time, dozens of spirit beasts were eaten by the black duck. If they were sold on Yunshanglou, they would be able to sell at least a thousand spirit stones.

But now he can no longer take care of this matter, because the defensive formation of Spirit Lake is on the verge of collapse. It is possible that the formation will be broken with the next blow, and the water monsters will pour into the Spirit Lake and hunt all kinds of animals crazily. Spirit beast, this will cause even greater losses!

"Get out of my way!" Li Zhirui used his remaining magic power to create a ball of pitch-black corroded water and blend it into the river, hoping to poison the water demon and keep the defensive formation alive for a while longer.

It is true that many water monsters were poisoned and rolled in the water in pain, but compared with the entire beast tide, this was nothing at all. There were still a large number of water monsters attacking the formation.

"It's over!" This thought came to everyone's minds at the same time.

The water demon rushed into the spiritual lake, just like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. The blue-headed fish and other spiritual beasts could not stop their predation and could only become food in their mouths.

Li Zhirui and others could only rescue some cubs to ensure that the high-quality spiritual beasts that the family had cultivated for hundreds of years would not be slaughtered.

"Damn beast!" A loud shout suddenly came from the distance, and Li Shiren was seen standing on the back of the jade-billed eagle, flying towards Linghu Lake at the fastest speed.

He originally took the spirit boat to fly to Li Zhirui's location, but on the way he noticed that the formation inside the spirit lake was broken. He abandoned the spirit boat without saying a word and hurried over in a jade-billed eagle, but the result was still there. One step later.

Li Shiren took action with anger, no longer caring about the deduced position, and directly deployed an ice formation.

As soon as the formation was completed, bursts of cold air blew on the huge spiritual lake. This was the most lethal formation in his hand.

"Explode!" Li Shiren pinched his hand, and the formation he had just set exploded instantly, killing a large number of water monsters. Cold air also spread from the formation, and a thin layer of ice appeared on the lake.

As for the spirit beasts in the spirit lake, many of them have been taken back by Li Zhirui and others, and the remaining ones that didn't make it in time also died in the ice storm.

Li Zhirui and others looked at this scene in stunned silence. They never expected that the formation master's combat power would be so terrifying!

Of course, they also knew that Li Shiren's explosion was based on a large number of spiritual stones, and as far as Li Zhirui knew, it would take at least one or two thousand spiritual stones to make an ice array.

But it is undeniable that this blow is really effective!

The frozen Linghu Lake blocked the path of many water monsters in the river. They wanted to break through the ice and continue deep into Darong Island, but they were attacked and strangled by Li Shiren and the Jade-billed Eagle.

And when Li Zhirui and others recovered their magic power, more than a dozen tribesmen from the south arrived. Because they had nothing to protect and were flying in the sky, they did not need to defend themselves. They directly attacked crazily. These water monsters were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. , was beaten so hard that he was unable to fight back!

After being massacred, the water monsters who were still alive turned around and fled towards the sea.

These water monsters have low intelligence and have been attacking wildly before. They are not afraid of death and are unwilling to retreat. That is because they are driven and controlled by high-level water monsters.

But now that they are out of control and it's too late to escape, how can they stay?

The same was true for the water monsters in the other two battlefields. Even if they had the advantage, after regaining their senses, they did not choose to stay, but turned around and fled towards the sea.

"Shiren, stop chasing him!" Li Shilian saw that he wanted to catch up and kill the water demon, so he quickly stopped him.

Li Zhirui also advised: "Uncle Ren, please clean up the spirit lake first, and then set up the formation again. We have collected some spirit beasts and settled them as soon as possible."

Especially those spirit beasts in their infancy, they are still relatively delicate and cannot be kept in the spirit beast bag for a long time.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, Spirit Lake was quickly cleaned up, and Li Shiren also used the spiritual objects brought from the warehouse to set up formations to allow several spirit beasts to return to live in Spirit Lake.

"The scale of this year's beast tide is so weird, it's several times larger than in previous years!" Li Shilian frowned and said with a very ugly face: "It's such a big loss for the family."

Five tribesmen died, and more than twenty tribesmen were injured. Several of them were seriously injured and have become disabled.

In addition, the Spiritual Lake, which was very important to the Li family, was broken and a large number of spirit beasts in it were devoured. They were only able to save a small part.

The specific loss has not yet been calculated. If calculated based on Yun Shangshang's price, it is estimated that at least nearly 10,000 spiritual stones have been lost!

"It must have something to do with the Zheng family!" Li Shiren said angrily.

Li Zhirui shook his head and sighed, "This is just our guess, we can't count."

Moreover, the Zheng family could also explain that they were not strong enough to stop so many water monsters, allowing them to break through the defense line. As a result, Darong Island was unlucky enough to be targeted by the water monsters.

"I'll go to Sequoia Island to see if I can find any clues!" Li Shiren couldn't bear it and immediately asked the jade-billed eagle to take him to the east.

Seeing that Li Zhirui still wanted to catch up, Li Shilian stopped him and said, "Now that the situation on the island has stabilized, let Shiren go. I also want to know what's going on behind this incident."

Li Zhirui nodded and sat cross-legged like other clan members to restore his mana.

The damage caused by the water monster to Darong Island was not limited to Linghu Lake, but other places were not as important as Linghu Lake. Most of them were fields cultivated by mortals or houses where they lived, which was not that important.

However, Li Shiren, who followed the beast tide and flew out of Darong Island, quickly discovered something was wrong.

He found that a large number of water monsters were a little further away, and they all swam towards a small island as if they were attracted by something.

Li Shiren quickly let the jade-billed eagle fly over, but as soon as he got close, he smelled a strong fragrance. As if he thought of something, he immediately let the jade-billed eagle fly away.

"Demon-attracting liquid!" Li Shiren's face was gloomy and scary, this is it! As a result, the Li family suffered heavy losses in this year's beast wave.

Li Shiren took a deep look at the island and continued to fly towards the east. Then he discovered that at regular intervals, there was a small island with a large amount of demon attracting liquid, and the last demon attracting liquid was in the Zheng family and A small island between the Jiang family.

Seeing this, Li Shiren still didn't understand why there were so many water monsters on Darong Island during this beast tide.

A large number of water demons who crossed the island chain were attracted here by the demon attracting liquid, and then followed the demon attracting liquid that had been washed away in the sea water, all the way west, and finally arrived near Darong Island.

Fortunately, Darong Island is far away from the location where the beast tide broke out, so it is not under the control of high-level water monsters at all times.

As time passed, they regained their senses, and the demon-attracting fluid in the seawater had expired, otherwise the Li family would still be resisting the invasion of water demons.

"Zheng family! Jiang family!" Li Shiren said through gritted teeth, wishing he could rush over and deal with these two families now.

But what Li Shiren didn't know was that such a small island still existed between the Zheng family and the He family.

Fortunately, he still had some sense, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned back to Darong Island.

At this time, on Darong Island, Li Zhirui and others, who had recovered some of their magic power, were cleaning up the places destroyed by the water demon, and notifying the mortals who were hiding that it was safe outside.

"The most serious damage this time is the Spirit Lake, but those spirit beasts can be cultivated slowly, but the five fallen clansmen and the few disabled clansmen are the family's biggest loss." Li Zhirui said in a low tone, Sadness appears on his face.

Li Shilian's eyes flashed with water. This matter actually had nothing to do with him. It was because there were too many water monsters and they broke through the formation at an unexpected speed.

Even if it weren't for him, more people would have died at the hands of the water demon, but he still couldn't help but blame himself, feeling that he didn't do a good enough job, which led to their death and disability.

"Grandpa Shi Lian, you have done a good enough job, there is no need to feel guilty about it." Li Zhirui quickly comforted him.

In order to change the subject, Li Zhirui called a tribesman who came from the south to support, "How is the situation in the south? There are no casualties, right?"

"There are not many water monsters over there. We stopped all the water monsters and even launched several counterattacks." Then he went on to explain in detail.

Li Zhirui was surprised by this result. He could guess that the situation in the south was very good. After all, Li Shiren brought so many tribesmen to support, but he did not expect it to be so good.

All the clan members were safe and sound, and a lot of spiritual materials were obtained from the killed water demon.

After hearing the news, Li Shilian's face finally looked better, at least the situation was not worse.

He happened to see Li Shiren, who had gone out to investigate the cause, come back. Seeing his angry look, Li Zhirui asked speculatively: "Uncle Ren, did you not find the cause?"

"Found it!" Li Shiren said angrily: "This matter is related to the Zheng and Jiang families!"

Then he told everything he saw along the way.

Everyone was furious after hearing this, and some impulsive tribesmen shouted that they would destroy these two families and avenge those fallen and disabled tribesmen!

On the contrary, Li Shilian calmed down and shouted: "Don't mention this matter again! We, the elders, will decide how to deal with it."

"But don't worry, I will never make it easy for them!"

Li Zhirui echoed: "The beast tide is not over yet. Let's go back to defend against the water monsters to prevent them from causing more damage."

With the persuasion and assurance of the two people, the surrounding tribesmen dispersed reluctantly, and Li Zhirui whispered: "This matter is really difficult to handle."

"Just kill Sequoia Island and Jiuquan Island directly. The Zheng family and the Jiang family can only build two or three foundations. They are no match for us at all." Li Shiren glanced at Li Zhirui dissatisfied and said with murderous intent.

Li Zhirui glanced at him helplessly and ignored him. After all, it was Li Shilian who made the decision.

In fact, what Li Shiren said was right. These two families were indeed no match for the Li family, but they had to consider Yuan Mingzong's reaction!

After all, they were also vassal forces of Yuan Mingzong. Could it be that Yuan Mingzong would just watch them being destroyed by the Li family and not react at all afterwards?

And if these two families can last for hundreds of years, don’t they have a trump card?

Even if the Li family destroys them by then, how much loss will the Li family suffer? Afterwards, can Sequoia Island and Jiuquan Island be owned by them?

For so many years, the Li family has not taken action against the three families. It is because of these problems that there has never been a good solution and they can only keep them.

"We can't touch them yet." Li Shilian let out a long breath, unwilling but could only accept the reality.

Seeing that Li Shilian had not lost his mind due to hatred, Li Zhirui couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When the second grandfather breaks through the golden elixir, these families can be wiped out."

Even if Li Shiqing is just a new Jindan by then, it is impossible for Yuan Mingzong to choose to turn against the Li family for the sake of the Zheng family and others.

Because around Yuan Mingzong, there is a Green Sword Sect that is eyeing him. If the Li family and the Qingjian Sect join forces, Yuan Mingzong will be in danger.

But in this situation, the Li family cannot take action. Once they do, even if they are justified, Yuan Mingzong will take the other side.

Because they cannot allow a dominant vassal force to appear in this sea area.

"Without strong strength, even revenge has to be calculated carefully." Li Shilian sighed with a wry smile.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Li Shiren was silent for a moment, and finally could only turn around and leave angrily.

"Second Grandpa has been in seclusion for several years. Success or failure will depend on these few years. Just wait patiently for a while." Li Zhirui looked at Li Shiren's back, as if he was talking to him, but also to himself.
