Chapter 553: Isolated Island, Puppet, Decisive Battle

After putting the huge corpse of a third-level ring-headed turtle into the storage bag, Gu Shaoshang's eyes fell on the sea surface.

With just one glance, he noticed something was wrong.

That spiritual fluctuation was not a sign of the red rock crab's self-destruction.

"Evil spirit?"

Just as he was puzzled, he raised his eyebrows, immediately withdrew and disappeared into the void.

Under the sea surface.

Luo Chen was a little stunned, a cultivator?

Or a great cultivator who has reached the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm!

Suddenly, his expression changed, he put away the Fiery Miasma, and quietly escaped into the deep sea.

On the large island next to it, the battle has gradually come to an end. The red rock crab clan can already divide its forces to sweep the battlefield. This is not a place to stay for a long time.

As the two left, a figure flew to this sea area after a long time.

After hesitating for a circle, he showed a puzzled look.

Gone?

Whether it was the same clan or the demon king of the ring-headed turtle clan, they were all gone.

Could it be that his own kind was killed and even his body was taken away?

After searching for a while, the Red Rock Crab Demon King could only return empty-handed. Fortunately, he finally conquered this large island, and was one step closer to conquering Xuanyan Island.

…

On a deserted island.

As soon as Luo Chen returned to the cave, he immediately took out the recently dead third-level Red Rock Crab from the storage ring.

Using a magic tool, he removed the shell from the corpse while the magic power was running, and then immediately soaked it in a special medicine.

At this point, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

The third-level demon crab no longer needs to be refined alive for medicine.

But correspondingly, the materials on its body must be processed in advance to avoid the infection of death.

Otherwise, if there is too much death, even if the Black Emperor Paste is refined later, the quality is very poor. In this way, the fish he caught in the muddy water will be in vain.

Counting it up, this is the third third-level demon crab he has secretly hunted in recent months.

Luo Chen was about to give up the idea.

Who knew that the offensive of the monster crabs suddenly changed.

From the beginning, they were well-organized and cooperated with each other, to the later advances and retreats, and gradually evolved to fighting each other.

In addition, the resistance of the ring-headed turtle became more and more fierce.

The situation became more and more chaotic!

This gave Luo Chen enough opportunities.

With the third-level hidden formation engraved on his body, when Luo Chen attacked, as long as he did not release powerful means, it was almost silent.

The first two times, he encountered two third-level monster crabs that were seriously injured in a tragic victory.

After he quietly used his life-saving magic weapon Hunyuan Ding, he easily caught them back.

This time, it was even easier!

Thinking of the process of this attack, Luo Chen recalled the young-looking monk in his mind.

"There are actually people who learn from me to be the yellow bird behind?"

"Late Jindan..."

Luo Chen's mind moved, and he sent a voice transmission.

After a long time, a seemingly ordinary seagull circled in the sky for a few circles and landed on this nameless deserted island.

She walked slowly along a specific route and finally entered the cave where Luo Chen was.

"Master, Tianxuan is back, what do you want?"

The young man with his back to her turned around, holding a painting in his hand, on which was a lifelike portrait of a man.

Before he could speak, Tianxuan saw the portrait and blurted out.

"Gu Shaoshang!"

"It's him."

Luo Chen nodded slightly, a flame ignited in his hand, and burned the portrait he had just painted to ashes.

He knew that there was no trace of human beings in the Xuanyan Sea area on weekdays, how could a great cultivator of the seventh level of Jindan appear.

If it was Gu Shaoshang, it would not be strange.

After all, the other party had come a long time ago and had cooperated with the royal monster crab.

The only strange thing was that although the Feiyunjian cultivator had evacuated the Xuanyan Sea area, Gu Shaoshang had returned and became a yellow bird like himself.

"His goal is obvious, he is going for the third-level ring-headed turtle."

"Just like me, I am going for the third-level monster crab king!"

"However, since he has already joined forces with the monster crab party before, why does he have to be so mean and learn from me to act secretly?"

While muttering to himself, Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Tianxuan stood there respectfully, not daring to disturb Luo Chen at all.

After a long while, Luo Chen hesitated and woke up.

"He went and came back, doing the yellow bird's work. Is he afraid that the monster crab party will abandon him, so he relies on his cultivation and acts alone?"

It has to be said that Luo Chen's guess is no different from the truth.

Or, it is not difficult to guess this.

Tianxuan Douou, who was forced to hide by Luo Chen, hovered above the nine heavens all the time, monitoring the direction of this battle for him.

During the process, he also saw the monks of Feiyunjian carrying the body of the ring-headed turtle onto the monster hunting ship several times.

This is obviously one of the conditions for cooperation between humans and monsters.

Before, I thought that the cultivators of Feiyunjian had made enough money, so they left in a hurry.

Now it seems that Gu Shaoshang has a big appetite.

Of course, the other party was also very cautious. He first withdrew the weak disciples of his own sect, and then hunted more ring-headed turtles alone.

Therefore, Luo Chen also had an idea.

"Should I kill him while he is alone? To avenge Tianxuan?"

The revenge for Tianxuan is not just as simple as face.

Because Tianxuan Douou was captured, the three demon spider crab monster kings came to Tianxuan Island to kill him, thus exposing Luo Chen's whereabouts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to take such risks now and enter the battlefield to hunt monster crabs himself.

After some thought, Luo Chen gave up the idea for the time being.

"That's all!"

"The top priority is to secretly hunt more third-order demon crabs and prepare more Black Emperor Cream for the late third-order ancient body tempering."

“It’s unbeautiful to have extraneous branches.”

Luo Chen knew his priorities clearly.

The current battlefield environment is chaotic and complex, which is perfect for him to fish in troubled waters and seize profits.

If side issues arise and alarm one of the five royal clans, it will easily lead to even greater trouble.

and!

If he wants to deal with a great monk in the late Golden Core stage, with his current ability, he must use all his means.

Whether you can take it or not is one thing, but if the noise is too big, that's another thing.

The Lord of the Evil Skua is the biggest enemy of the Demon Crab!

After dividing the primary and secondary targets, Luo Chen looked at Tianxuan.

"What's the current situation in the Crab-Turtle War?"

Tianxuan replied without hesitation: "The fifty-four islands have been destroyed, and only the eighteen islands are still under the control of the Huanshou Turtle Clan. According to my observation, the five royal demon crabs are bound to win this battle. Almost all the elites of the clan have been dispatched to capture the remaining Eighteen Islands, which is just around the corner!”

Are there only eighteen large islands left?

Luo Chen read this number with a thoughtful look on his face.

The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation uses the Nine Islands as an eye of the formation to divide eight areas into eight trigrams, forming a Bagua formation that protects Xuanyan Island.

In other words, the eighteen large islands are the last two formation eyes.

Either it is not broken, or once it is broken, the direction of this war will be completely determined by the chain reaction.

There is not much time left for yourself!

"Continue to monitor the battlefield situation and notify me immediately if a war breaks out."

"Yes, Master!"

"How is the situation over there with the Black King?"

"According to the formation map provided by the master, Dahei is very close to Xuanyan Island. However, it may be a bit difficult to sneak in."

Hearing the news, Luo Chen nodded.

The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation looks majestic, but is actually quite rough.

Otherwise, Gu Shaoshang would not have been able to find the flaws so easily and break them one by one.

On his side, with Han Zhan's guidance and the God-Searching Method of the God-Searching Compass, the direction of this formation became more transparent and clear.

Therefore, a long time ago, he had asked the Black King to sneak into the inner formation quietly while the battle was in full swing for emergencies.

"You inform the Black King that if you go to Xuanyan Island, follow the formation map I gave you, go to the designated place, and bury the God Compass."

Tianxuan said in surprise: "Master, do you want to go to the island too?"

Luo Chen smiled casually, "If it really comes to that point, I would also like to personally witness how this war ends. Come to think of it, the scene should be spectacular!"

Observing the rise and fall of a clan in person is a beautiful thing in one's spiritual practice.

Even if there is nothing gained, it can still be used as a good talking point in future exchanges with colleagues.

…

Time passes slowly.

Without Gu Shaoshang's command, the attack of the Demon Crab became very chaotic.

However, as a single tribe formed an army, there were no more constraints on each other, and the confusion in command was effectively alleviated.

For this, the price paid was the five royal clans' demon crabs, and each family's losses increased by 30%.

Not only the low-level demon crabs, but also the high-level combat forces suffered huge losses.

The great demon king has personally calculated that the five tribes have sacrificed the lives of almost twenty third-level demon kings in this battle.

As for the ring-headed turtle, the losses were even more severe!

But even so, the resistance of Huanshougui never stopped, and even became more determined, refusing to give in an inch of ground.

The same is true for the five royal clans of demon crabs!

The battlefield began to advance continuously.

From the initial seventy-two islands, to thirty-six islands, and then eighteen islands.

Unknowingly, the destruction of the formation and the destruction of the island had lasted for nearly a year.

Until, the heads of the five royal families set foot on the Sky Snake Island together.

Jin Hun, Chi Yan, Zhu Xiang, Nine Claws, Green Sleeves.

The five statues showed their full size, and their huge bodies stood on the Sky Snake Island.

Behind him are an army of millions of monster crabs.

In front of him is a large island with an area of ​​thousands of miles!

If you are in the air, looking from a distance, it looks like a piece of land.

This is Xuanyan Island!

"After decades of planning and five years of fierce fighting, we have finally arrived here. Everyone, success or failure will all depend on this final battle!" Jin Hun exhaled, showing no sign of vicissitudes of life, but full of ambition.

The four demons on the side were also in extremely complicated moods at the moment.

Some of them just happened to meet each other and participated in this battle at the end.

Some are prepared in advance and have been secretly paying attention to the progress of the King Crab clan.

No matter what, the contribution of each family is equally huge.

Green sleeves blinked and said with some emotion: "In order to get here, our Blue Emperor Crab clan has sacrificed seven third-level clansmen, and there are countless second- and first-level clansmen left. Until now, there are some third-level clansmen The body was not recovered.”

Zhu Xiang said indifferently: "All the efforts are worth it. As long as we take Xuanyan Island!"

"Chiji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, those who don't know think it's those weak immortal cultivators who are sentimental here." Chi Yan sneered.

However, Jiuzhao could no longer hold back and revealed its fangs.

"When will we do it?"

Jin Hun raised his giant claw, "There is only one step left, there is no need to delay. It is better to do it today than to wait for a day!"

As he spoke, the giant claw fell with a bang.

"Attack!"

He flew into the air.

With him, there were four other clan leaders.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the five demons broke through the air and headed straight for the vast giant island.

As they flew out, the island trembled and a beam of light rose from the ground.

The majestic spiritual energy burst out from deep underground.

There was also a terrifying suction force that spread in all directions.

But unfortunately, this suction force lacked a response.

The Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams had been broken, leaving only the central palace, which had no response and was just an isolated island.

After the light column was unfolded, it was not yet manifested before the five clan leaders attacked together and used unparalleled demonic energy to smash it.

As the light column was smashed, layers of shaking sounds came from Xuanyan Island.

Several high mountains on the island collapsed.

The earth rolled, like a dragon turning over.

Streams of seawater surged up from all directions, with the momentum of a tsunami.

At some point, a group of cold-eyed ring-headed turtles appeared on the island, ready to fight to protect their homeland.

No nonsense!

With the order of the five clan leaders, millions of demon crabs began to land on Xuanyan Island.

For a moment, the shouts and killings shook the earth.

Endless blood rain was falling, and the stench of demons filled the air.

…

"It's time for me to go to the island too."

Among the demon crab army, a second-level demon crab moved slowly, slightly out of place.

Under the shell, in the abdomen, Luo Chen controlled the demon crab puppet to move forward slowly with a slightly surprised look.

Yes, a demon crab puppet!

This demon crab was a simple puppet made by Han Zhan for Luo Chen.

Its attack and defense capabilities were average, but it could hide its tracks.

In addition, after Luo Chen's "Spiritual Art of Concealing Breath" was perfected, he could absorb the breath of others and imitate them in disguise.

With the combination of the two, if you don't look closely, almost no one will find that there is something wrong with this demon crab.

As Luo Chen controlled it, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

"It's a bit like the mecha control in the science fiction novels I read in my previous life."

After muttering, the demon crab puppet stepped out its eight legs and kept up with the rhythm of the army's attack.

But after landing on the island, it did not join the battle immediately, but found a direction, left the main force, and left quietly.

Along the way, battles broke out frequently on the road, but Luo Chen avoided them as much as possible.

Suddenly.

Luo Chen paused and looked at a place.

There, the spiritual light transformed, and a figure slowly emerged.

"It's him!"

Gu Shaoshang also came.

However, compared with Luo Chen's silence, Gu Shaoshang's whereabouts were somewhat exposed.

It would be fine if there were few ordinary monsters, but now on this battlefield full of monsters, a human cultivator suddenly appeared, which was too eye-catching.

As soon as he appeared, Gu Shaoshang had to kill two monsters with his own hands.

Luo Chen glanced at it and had no intention of participating in it. He controlled the monster crab to avoid the center of the battlefield.

"Hey!"

In the battlefield, Gu Shaoshang pointed his fingers like swords, controlling a flying sword to harvest the lives of nearby monsters.

He was a little helpless.

He was not proficient in hiding, and he did not expect that there would be so many monsters participating in this final decisive battle.

He was exposed by a careless move.

Seeing two monster kings flying towards him in the distance, he had to withdraw and fly away from Xuanyan Island.

"I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to watch this last battle."

In desperation, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a monster crab that didn't fit in and went the other way.

Strange monster crab, even the orders of the tribe king didn't listen?

Luo Chen naturally didn't know that he had been seen by the other party for a moment.

He only knew that he was going very smoothly.

Along the way, he deliberately took a detour and avoided large and small battle groups.

Finally, the demon crab puppet stopped in a swamp shrouded in miasma.

The eight legs stopped.

The miasma seemed to be blown away by the wind, making way.

A giant python with a single horn on its head poked its head out and looked at the demon crab in confusion.

But as a divine sense sounded in his ears, he quickly reacted.

"Welcome, Master!"

The demon crab did not reply, but took a step and stepped into the swamp.

As soon as he entered, the shell opened and Luo Chen walked out of it.

Looking around, he showed satisfaction.

"Although this place is bad, it is connected to the deep-sea spring, and there is a basis for advance and retreat. It can be a base! Black King, you did a good job!"

As he spoke, he threw a jade bottle over.

The Black King took it as if he had found a treasure.

"Master, are we going to join the war?" He held the jade bottle and asked carefully.

Luo Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

Join the battle?

Of course he had to go, but he couldn't do it hastily.

The most urgent thing was to observe the situation on the battlefield first!

Without answering the Black King, Luo Chen found a dry place in the swamp and sat cross-legged.

The Compass of the Gods appeared in front of him.

He used his innate skills to absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and cast a spell before it was transformed.

Soon, a huge water mirror slowly took shape.

In the realm, the battles in various places were vivid.

But because of the explosion of demonic energy and spiritual energy, the water mirror began to ripple constantly, and it looked quite unstable.

"With my soul comparable to the late Jindan stage, I can't maintain the Water Mirror Technique in a battle of this scale?"

Muttering, Luo Chen could only accept the reality.

However, he had another way.

"Senior Han, please help me."

In the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Han Zhan showed up helplessly.

"You kid..."

As he spoke, he pointed a finger at the Water Mirror in mid-air.

In an instant, the mirror surface was so stable!
