Shen Shi squatted on the ground and carefully examined the body of the armored armadillo. He soon noticed that there was an obvious backward projection on the hard bone armor behind the neck of the armored armadillo. Looking at this position, it should be the mark left by the direct impact of water archery into the mouth of the monster
Although the bone armor is protruding, there is no sign of damage on the whole. Shen Shi's pupils can't help shrinking. The iron armored armadillo's bone armor is extremely tough, and it is famous for its strong defense among the first level monsters. There are two weaknesses in his body, one is his mouth, and the other is his abdomen, which is also not covered by bone armor. In other words, if the armadillo does not underestimate Shen Shi but curls up to defend, Shen Shi can't do this kind of monster just by using water archery.
It's just a first-order monster. It's also a weak kind of monster. They all have such powerful ability to protect their lives. What's more, Shen Shi was more careful about the danger on the demon island, and told himself not to go into the depths of the demon island carelessly. Then he began to come to the most important thing on the demon island to strip Holy materials.
The armored armadillo is a first-order monster, and it is impossible to condense a precious demon pill. Therefore, the useful Holy material of this monster is its bone armor, which is tough enough to resist the attack of the Five Elements Technique.
In the past, when he was still in the first floor of Xilu City in Yinzhou, Shen Shi also saw the iron armadillo bone armor sold in the shop. He also remembered that most of the uses of this Holy Material were to make some low-level defense weapons. Some casual repair even made skin armor to wear on their bodies, which could be considered as insurance for dangerous Jianghu travel. The dead armadillo in front of him let him know how the leather armor came from.
He looked at it silently for a while, then took out a sharp dagger from his arms and began to peel the bone armor. Before coming to the demon island, of course, he would know something about the situation on the demon island, and he was almost sure about the monster he might face, so he was expected to do everything. This armadillo bone armor covers the whole body of the monster, but not all of them are useful. For example, the bone armor on the legs and tail is very weak, which is not suitable for use as Holy material. You should know that when the iron armadillo defends, these places are actually curled up, so Lingxiao Sect did not collect these useless things.
The most useful bone armor that can be used as spiritual material is the one attached to the back, head and neck. Shen Shi patiently peeled off about a cup of tea and finally took off this piece of bone armor spiritual material. After collecting it, he finally took a look at the armadillo bones on the ground and walked on.
There are many monster animals on the demon island, and there are many ferocious things that eat meat and decay. At night, naturally, there will be monster animals coming to drag the body away and eat it.
I don't know if the place where I met the armored armadillo just now is the edge of the range of this monster. When Shen Shi continued to walk forward for a short time, he soon met another armored armadillo. He looked not much different from the previous one, and his body seemed to be smaller.
After one man and one beast met and confronted each other, the battle broke out quickly. The second armored armadillo also seemed to look down on Shen Shi, a weak human, and rushed at him in the same way. Shen Shi, relying on the secret power of the Qingxin Mantra, cast the water arrow at a very fast speed. In just three seconds, he twisted the water arrow to hit the armored armadillo again.
However, the trouble is that this armadillo did not open its mouth in the middle of the attack even though it attacked the same way
Shen Shi had no choice but to shoot water archery into the belly of the armored armadillo. Without the protection of hard bone armor, the water archery also stabbed into the monster's belly in an instant, opening a large hole and severely injuring it. However, the tenacious vitality of the monster was revealed at this moment. As long as it was not immediately fatal, the armored armadillo would still stumble after falling to the ground, hoping to die with Shen Shi.
Shen Shi is forced to retreat continuously, and at the same time, stimulates the last water archery.
He only has the middle level of the refining state. The spiritual power he has cultivated for a long time, especially the part of the spiritual power condensed in the Meixinqiao acupoint, is only enough for him to cast water archery three times. From this, it can be seen that the Five Element Method is indeed a very expensive method, but its power is hard to afford this loss.
Two water archery attacks finally killed the armored armadillo, but Shen Shi felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand steadily because of the depletion of his spiritual power.
He was half bent, his hands on his knees, and he was panting. His face looked pale, even a little nauseated. This is obviously a sign of excessive spiritual power consumption. At this moment, the once solid spiritual power in his eyebrow cavity has been consumed, almost nothing left.
Although the spiritual power absorbed into the body will be stabilized after cultivation, and will recover after a period of time after using various magic powers, during this period, the friars basically have no defensive power. Shen Shi stared at the body of the armored armadillo lying on the ground in front of him, and suddenly thought of one thing:
I have already used up water archery three times. What should I do if a monster suddenly appears at this time?
※※※
This sudden idea startled Shen Shi. He subconsciously turned around and looked around. The nearby beach was still empty, but in the dense forest ahead, there were shadows behind the lush branches and leaves. It was strange whether it was the wind blowing the grass or the monster hiding in it.
For a moment, he did not dare to breathe, and he felt a little regret.
However, after a while, the environment around him was still the same as before. It seemed that he was lucky and did not encounter the worst situation. Shen Shi stared at the forest for a long time, then slowly relaxed. With the help of those mysterious and coagulated spiritual powers in the Meixinqiao acupoints, his water archery cultivation is very fast. But if he leaves these behind and uses those normally scattered spiritual powers to stimulate water archery like ordinary people, his progress is no different from that of ordinary people. It is still very difficult to cultivate. Every time he stimulates water archery, it takes at least 10 breaths or more, and he can only cast it once at most, Obviously, unless someone stops the monster in front and asks him to cast spells slowly, he will not be able to fight with the monster at all.
Before he could cast spells, he might have been bitten by monsters.
Since there is no monster near, even if it is safe. After a short period of dizziness, Shen Shi gradually calms down. Although he still feels a little weak, his body that has not been cultivated for three years is still effective. He takes out his dagger again, carefully takes down the bone armor of the armadillo, and then turns back with two pieces of bone armor.
Along the way, he kept looking into the forest for fear that a monster would suddenly jump out. His heart beat faster and faster because of the dilemma of no future help. He also told himself again in his heart that if he still came to do the dangerous task of catching demons in the future, he could not return until he had exhausted his means. He must have a future help.
The friars use their spiritual power to cast all kinds of magical powers, and the spiritual power consumed will be restored automatically, but the speed of restoration varies according to the different realms of Taoism. Generally speaking, the higher the realm is, the stronger the spiritual power will be, and the faster the spiritual power will be restored. It takes at least six hours, or half a day, for low-end friars like Shen Shi, who are still in the middle level of the Qi refining realm to restore the completely consumed spiritual power.
However, in addition to this stupid method of waiting for a hard rest, there are certainly some auxiliary means in the cultivation world to speed up the recovery of spiritual power, such as some special skill secrets, which are very helpful for restoring spiritual power and replenishing spirit, or you can take some panacea in this area, which will also help the monks to speed up the recovery of spiritual power.
When Shen Shi thought of this, he could not help thinking of Zhong Qinglu. A few days ago, it was said that she was the first among the new disciples to make a "pill for nourishing qi". Although the level of this pill was not high, it was very suitable for the friars in the realm of refining qi. It was said that she could absorb a little more spiritual power by taking one pill when practicing. In addition, the name of the pill "nourishing qi" also implies the power to replenish qi and nourish the vitality. After the friars lose their spiritual power, they can also take the pill to speed up the recovery of some spiritual power.
"After going back, why don't you go to find Zhong Qinglu..." Shen Shi thought to himself. At the same time, when he looked up, the long seawall and the big ship docked at the seaside finally appeared in his sight.
This huge demon island is full of dangers. The only safe place may be this big ship. Shen Shi dragged a little tired with two armadillo bone armor in his hands. When he crossed the sea wall and walked back to the ship, he really relaxed.
But looking at the sky, it seems that an hour has passed since a group of disciples in the refining state left the island on the boat. At this moment, the deck is empty, and there is no one except Shen Shi. Shen Shi made some self mockery. He took two armadillos' bone armor and sat down on the deck. His back leaned against the ship's side and faced the demon island. Listening to the sound of the waves outside the ship, he only felt that the ship's hull swayed gently with the waves. The green mountains on the demon island in the distance were picturesque. If it wasn't for the shrill roar of animals from time to time, people would really mistake it for a beautiful paradise and a pleasant island.
He took a deep breath, then slowly closed his eyes and waited quietly on the deck. At the same time, he gently touched the armadillo bone armor beside him with his palm, and a smile appeared on his mouth.
Armadillo bone armor is a kind of Holy material, which is low-end among the 55 Holy materials listed on the note of White Crane Hall. However, one piece of bone armor can still be exchanged for two Holy crystals. Although it doesn't seem much, and the risk of catching demons on the demon island is also great, Shen Shi is still satisfied with the reward.
After hard work and a little risk, you can get four Lingjing rewards. How many days do you have to peel shrimp in Hongbeng Village? At this moment, Shen Shi was sure that he would never go to Hongbeng Village to peel shrimp again.
