This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 218 Island Collision, Demon Hunting, Treasure Hunting, But What a Trash Boss! (5 words)

Don't want to watch 12 hours of ads?

completely fine!
You can skip this step by paying!

However, you'll need to unlock them one by one starting at 2x speed.

A poet who holds the sun?

Spending 412 million spirit stones to skip a 12-hour ad session is something only a fool would do.

If it weren't for the 0.1% discount, Jiang Liu wouldn't have skipped the ads. It's just 12 hours, I can tolerate it.

Planner, you're ruthless! I'll just consider it as buying 12 hours of time for 4.12 spirit stones!
Jiang Liu left the advertising space with a sullen face.

next second.

He appeared on the surface of the Immortal Spirit Sea. The silver waves and the howling sea breeze made the blue sea, which was refreshing and made his mind go blank, unable to dispel the bad mood in his heart.

After leaving the advertising space, the second phase of the system voice sounded.

[Players have been detected to have entered the second phase. The second phase of the event, 'Treasure Hunt on Demon Island,' has officially begun. Please check the event interface in the upper left corner for details.]

Ok?
Has the event started?

Upon hearing the system's voice in his mind, Jiang Liu was slightly taken aback, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.

Now that the event has started, what about the players who are still watching ads?
They have to wait another 12 hours to participate in the event?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, he realized he couldn't think that way, and two words involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

It leaked!

All the players are watching ads, and he's the only one left in the second phase of the event!
Isn't this a complete leak?
Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I never imagined that skipping ads would have such benefits!

Upon realizing this, Jiang Liu couldn't help but show a look of delight, as the two district events had become his own.

Great!
In the first phase of the event, he only managed to grab 3 rare materials and 4 local treasures, reaping very little.

But the second phase of the event started 12 hours early, and that was his chance!

He wants to seize as many rare and precious materials as possible within these 12 hours!

Jiang Liu made up his mind and then opened the activity interface in the upper left corner.

[Treasure Hunt on Demon Island]

[Phase Introduction: In a certain region of the Immortal Spirit Sea, there exist 20 large islands, each occupied by a race of sea monsters. The second batch of rare and precious materials has descended upon these 20 islands, with each island receiving 1 rare material and 2 precious materials, totaling 20 rare materials and 40 precious materials. These have already been claimed by the monsters.]

[Phase Content: Players from each region will attack the Demon Island to seize its rare and precious treasures]

[Phase Duration: 7 days]

[During the first phase of the event, players in all four regions obtained a total of 6 rare materials and 10 local treasures, and were provided with the coordinates of 11 demon islands. Please check the map for details.]

The second phase of the activity is much simpler than the first phase.

It's nothing more than going to the island, killing demons, and seizing rare and precious treasures.

Compared to searching for treasure like looking for a needle in a haystack, the second phase of the event is more suitable for Jiangliu.

"The phase lasts for 7 days?"

Jiang Liu looked from top to bottom, his gaze lingering on the timeline, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

It only took 7 days to conquer 11 demon islands?
Who are you looking down on?
The second phase of the activity will end within 12 hours.

I said.

"What a pity, I don't know the coordinates of those nine demon islands in the third district."

His expression showed slight disappointment. There were 11 demon island coordinates in Zone 4 and 9 demon island coordinates in Zone 3.

If he knew the coordinates of the demon islands in the third district, he could take advantage of the 12 hours he had to sneak away and destroy all the demon islands in the third district before attacking the demon islands in his own district. This would allow the third district to return empty-handed in the second phase.

It's a pity, there's nothing we can do if we don't know. He can't possibly search the whole ocean for a few small islands, can he?
That would be a huge waste of time.

"In the first 12 hours, let's clear out all the demon islands in this area, and then use the remaining time to search for the demon islands in the third area."

Jiang Liu muttered to himself, then casually opened the small map in the upper right corner.

The small map has been transformed into a large map, displaying an area spanning tens of thousands of miles.

The 11 demon islands are scattered across this vast sea, one in the east and one in the west, with no discernible pattern.

No wonder the second phase of the event lasts for 7 days; such a large map will take a lot of time just to travel around.

but.

With a dragon boat in hand, the world is vast.

Jiang Liu opened his backpack and tapped the dragon boat icon.

Before our eyes, a gigantic, luxurious, and prestigious dragon boat, tens of thousands of meters long and hundreds of meters high, appeared out of thin air.

How long is 10,000 meters?
If you take a taxi, it costs 3.6 yuan per kilometer, and 10,000 meters is 10 kilometers. That means it would cost 36 yuan to take a taxi from the head of the dragon boat to the tail.

Such a length is only possible in fantasy games; in science fiction games, it would be considered a heavy weapon on the scale of an aircraft carrier.

When the 10,000-meter dragon boat appeared here, crashing into the sea and creating a tsunami of thousands of meters high, even its owner, Jiang Liu, was slightly shocked.

Holy crap, that's huge!

Just looking at its size, the 100 million spirit stones were well spent!
Next, we'll look at performance.

Jiang Liu suppressed his excitement, lightly touched the sea surface with his toes and flew onto the dragon boat. He placed his feet on the golden dragon head statue at the bow and looked out at the vast blue sea. The excitement in his heart was no less than that of the surging spiritual sea.

[This dragon boat is already bound to a driver named Jiang Liu. Please name it.]

【The Great River Flows East】

The dragon boat was named "The Great River Flows East".

[This dragon boat is powered by spiritual energy. Shall we start it?]

【Yes】

After a brief binding process, Jiang Liu's gaze locked onto the nearest demon island on the world map. He pointed straight ahead, stood on the dragon's head, and declared with great spirit, "Let's go!"

The ultimate dragon boat, the Great River Flows East, is launched!
Swish!
Braving the winds and waves, they stirred up a raging sea in an instant!
When riding the dragon boat, his movement speed is increased by 500%, which is the full speed of the river. This means that when riding the dragon boat on the sea, his speed is increased by 5 times!
As the river flowed, the sea breeze blew against his face, and he watched the sea rushing past in front of him, feeling extremely exhilarated, his shadow trailing behind him.

The car was fully automated and went incredibly fast, but after about half a minute, as if sensing something, the smug smile on his face froze slightly, and his expression suddenly fell.

The speed is quite fast, but the spiritual energy is also consumed exceptionally quickly!
In just one minute, the amount of spiritual energy in his body had dropped to 90%!

This is the total spiritual energy of several top-grade spiritual roots plus the five elements spiritual body!
His mana bar was off the charts, yet he could only power the dragon boat for ten minutes?
Holy crap, what garbage performance!

Damn, I was fooled. I only looked at its imposing and powerful appearance and completely forgot about its performance.

"The spiritual energy consumed to propel a 10,000-meter dragon boat is simply too much."

Jiang Liu's face darkened slightly, and he hurriedly stuffed spirit pills into his mouth, barely managing to keep the amount of spiritual energy in his body above 80%.

Am I supposed to take drugs while driving?
This is so low-class!

I want a refund!
Although it consumes a great deal of spiritual energy, the speed is undeniably fast.

In less than ten minutes, a demon island came into his sight.

This island is not very large, only two or three hundred miles in diameter. It is covered with lush trees and vegetation, and has cliffs, reefs, beaches and low hills.

Well, how should I put it? It feels like an island with textures.

"The dragon boat has an attack skill, why don't we try it out first?"

As Jiang Liu gazed at the approaching demon island, he pondered for a moment and then silently recited the Dragon Breath mantra.

Dragon Breath is the dragon boat's only attack skill, capable of unleashing an attack that is a whole realm higher than the driver's, namely, an attack at the early Nascent Soul stage.

Are attacks strong in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm?

Not very strong; he mainly wanted to see how much spiritual energy the dragon's breath would consume.

With a silent chant, the hundred-meter-tall golden dragon statue beneath his feet suddenly shone brightly, and a golden beam tens of meters thick burst forth from its mouth, piercing through the void, tearing through the sky, and shooting straight toward the demon island dozens of miles away.

next moment.

boom!
A deafening roar followed, and the dragon's breath launched by the dragon boat exploded on the demon island like a missile. A gray-gold mushroom cloud rose into the sky, clearly visible for miles around.

The dragon's breath, incredibly powerful, covered an area of ​​ten miles in a single strike, causing the entire Demon Island to tremble violently and startling countless sea monsters!

Attack within a ten-mile radius!

Cow breaking!

But it drained 30% of the river's spiritual energy in one go.

That's not awesome anymore.

After the dragon unleashed its breath, Jiang Liu looked wilted, his face turning pale, and he swayed, almost falling over.

This was the first time he had had one-third of his spiritual energy drained in an instant. The sudden drop in spiritual energy made him extremely uncomfortable, and he felt nauseous, as if he were seasick.

With 30% spiritual energy, I can unleash hundreds of sword strikes with the Five Elements in One Line!

It has a large attack range and strong attack power, but its energy consumption is quite high.

It was immediately identified as useless.

Damn it, I've really been fooled. Besides being imposing, cool, and fast, this dragon boat is really useless.

The demon island suffered a heavy blow, alarming all the demon beasts on the island. Thousands upon thousands of auras shot straight into the sky, and huge sea monsters rose into the air, densely covering the entire sky above the demon island.

The siren on this island is actually a giant crab!
Jiang Liu stared intently, his mouth practically watering.

Giant, deep blue crabs stood above the island, their shells gleaming in the blazing sun. Their fifty-meter-long bodies were adorned with thirty-meter-long claws. Just by looking at their hard shells and sharp claws, one could tell how formidable their defense and attack were.

But why would someone's spiritual level be so low?
Jiang Liu's speed did not decrease as he rapidly approached the demon island. He glanced at the swarms of giant crabs and realized that they were all Foundation Establishment stage demon beasts!

Wait, a Golden Core demon beast has appeared! Just as he was wondering, a powerful aura emerged, and a giant blue crab, hundreds of meters in size, appeared at the forefront of the demon beast horde. Its small eyes were filled with vigilance as it stared at the giant dragon boat, and it opened its crab mouth and let out a cold, deep voice.

"Crack crack crack, human, why are you attacking my clan's territory!"

Are you challenging my race?!

The angry voice echoed through the sky, its sound waves reverberating across the sea, causing giant waves to surge.

So, it's the boss of this demon island?
Jiang Liu's gaze locked onto the 100-meter-long giant crab, and he casually clicked to view its information.

【Name: King Crab with Claws】

Race: Demon

[Realm: Golden Elixir Great Perfection]

[Rank: BOSS]

He's only at the Golden Core stage?
Upon seeing the opponent's cultivation level, Jiang Liu couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the minimap.

On the minimap, one gold icon and two silver icons are displayed.

And that gold icon was affixed to this giant clawed crab.

Carrying rare materials at the Golden Core stage, are you looking down on me?

He shifted his gaze slightly, looking at the two fifty-meter-long crabs beside the King Crab.

【Name: Crab Left Guard】

Race: Demon

[Realm: Early Golden Core Stage]

[Rank: Elite]

【Name: Right Guard of the Tyrannosaurus Rex】

Race: Demon

[Realm: Early Golden Core Stage]

[Rank: Elite]

Jiang Liu: “.”

"A demonic beast carrying a rare treasure is only at the early Golden Core stage?!"

After reading the information about the elite monster, Jiang Liu couldn't help but let out a wail, his face filled with disappointment, and his originally high fighting spirit instantly plummeted.

He figured it out: of all the monsters on the entire demon island, only the BOSS and two elite monsters were at the Golden Core stage; the rest were all at the Foundation Establishment stage!
The original plan to use monsters to increase the damage of the Battle Saint Body was instantly thwarted.

Why is it so weak?
He was filled with questions, but he soon understood what was going on.

This is a cross-region event, involving players from both regions, so it's naturally different from his rampage against higher-level opponents in the open world.

Putting aside the third district for now, he is the only one in the fourth district who is at the Golden Core stage. If a bunch of Golden Core monsters were to appear, how would the Foundation Establishment players compete?

With the level balance among players in the four regions, it's not uncommon for three Golden Core monsters to appear on a single demon island.

Even so, he suspected that without him, the BOSS would definitely not have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm.

Even if all players in the entire server ganged up on a boss at the Golden Core Great Perfection level, they might not be able to defeat it!
In the second phase of the event, the developers took into account the strength of players in the fourth region when setting the monsters at this level.

There are only three Golden Core monsters on a single demon island, while the rest are tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment monsters. Monsters of this level are a great advantage for the third district, but a great disadvantage for the fourth district.

However, this is on the premise that there is no river.

"Ugh, there's this one downside to doing events with players from my region."

Jiang Liu sighed softly. The monster levels had been dragged down by the players in this region, making it pointless to fight them.

A single demon island can only stack a 0.03% damage increase, which is less effective than attacking players in the third server.

Forget it, let's finish this quickly and treat it as collecting rare and precious materials.

He thought to himself.

As they got closer to the Demon Island, the dragon boat's speed not only didn't decrease, but even seemed to be subtly increasing.

As the ten-thousand-meter-long dragon boat, carrying the imposing presence of the dragon race, hurtled straight toward them, the Tyrannosaurus Crab King's expression changed slightly. He raised his massive crab claws, pointing them at the river flowing towards the dragon's head, and roared angrily in a deep voice, "Human, what do you think you're doing!"

What?
Jiang Liu stood on the head of the golden dragon statue, unleashed the Meteor Shower with one hand, pointed his sword at the Tyrant Crab King from afar, and laughed loudly: "Hand over the rare treasures! I will spare the lives of your entire clan!"

"Otherwise, I will slaughter your entire clan, leaving no one alive!"

Wow, how embarrassing! I can only say this to monsters; I can't say it to other players.

But to be honest, it feels pretty good to say tough things.

"How do you know my clan possesses rare and precious treasures?!"

Upon hearing this, the Tyrannosaurus Crab King's expression changed drastically, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He roared coldly, "This news must not be leaked! Today, I, the King..."

"jump over!"

"Why waste words with a monster like you? Let's get this started!"

It can't be leaked yet. Hundreds of millions of players in the three regions already know. Have you killed them all?
funny!

"Great River Flows East, ram it!"

Jiang Liu steered the dragon boat straight toward the demon island, toward the tens of thousands of monstrous crab demons!

Seeing the colossal creature charging straight at them, the King Crab's expression changed drastically. Waving its massive claws, it roared, "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat now!"

In an instant, tens of thousands of monstrous crabs scattered in terror.

boom!
Another deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth. The dragon boat crashed into the demon island at full speed, causing the hundred-mile-long island to tremble violently and almost having its chassis flipped off.

Upon impact, the once perfectly round demon island was instantly torn in half, with countless pebbles falling into the deep sea and creating several huge waves.

At the same time, he accidentally killed hundreds of monstrous crab demons.

The power of that single impact was terrifying!
"Damn humans!"

The Tyrant Crab King's pupils constricted as it watched its people die a horrible death, and it flew into a rage, even turning its aquamarine shell red with steam.

I'm going to strangle you!

The response was a horizontal, five-colored sword aura hundreds of meters long.

"Five Elements Spiritual Ascension Technique!"

"Five elements in one line!"

A single sword swept across the void, instantly clearing the screen within a radius of a thousand meters!

Apart from the BOSS who was at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, even the two elite monsters at the early stage of the Golden Core stage were instantly killed!
Ding dong!

The Five Elements Line Strike landed on the giant pincers of the Tyrant Crab King, producing an extremely crisp metallic clang and leaving a hideous and glaring sword mark.

This sword strike almost severed the giant pincers of the Tyrannosaurus Crab King!

What a hard shell!

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised, while the Tyrant Crab King was both shocked and furious.

It's unreasonable that a mere early-stage Golden Core human cultivator could injure it.

This makes sense.

Because Jiang Liu was only a few hundred meters away from the Tyrant Crab King, the deterrent effect of the True Dragon Bloodline and the True Phoenix Bloodline had already been triggered.

The dragon's might and the phoenix's might, the dragon's awe and the phoenix's awe, made the fight against the demon race twice as effective with half the effort, greatly weakening all the attributes of the Tyrant Claw Crab King.

What kind of nonsense is this? He's a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage! Even demons with low-level bloodlines would automatically drop a small realm in his presence!

"Violent Claw Impact!"

As if sensing Jiang Liu's terror, the Tyrannosaurus Crab King immediately launched a counterattack, unleashing its most powerful move.

The two crab claws, each over thirty meters long, detached instantly and shot towards the river like two giant missiles.

This thing is actually a launcher?

Jiang Liu was slightly startled by the attack method of the Crab King with its pincers. Seeing the two giant crab pincers flying towards him, he quickly slashed with his Meteor Falling Fist.

"Five elements in one line!"

"Five elements in one line!"

"Five elements in one line!"

Ding ding ding dong dong!

The physical body of someone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage is both strong and hard, but that is only the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.

The three swords and five elements were aligned, slicing the two giant crab claws into thirteen pieces!
I've already killed a Nascent Soul cultivator, so how could I possibly defeat a mere Golden Core cultivator?

Jiang Liu snorted softly, stepped on the crab claws and flew towards the Tyrant Claw Crab King, his Meteor Fall sword continuously waving in the air, creating dazzling and brilliant sword light.

"No!"

"Wait! Our clan is willing to hand over rare and precious treasures!"

"Give me some face and spare my life!"

[You have defeated the Tyrannosaurus Crab King, gaining 0.05% of your current cultivation level and triggering the Battle Saint Body.]

Jiang Liu's expression didn't change much after casually killing the BOSS. It was just a mere Golden Core monster, not enough to cause him any emotional fluctuation.

[You have obtained 1 Spirit-Rank Demon Core, 1 Spirit-Rank Demon Bone, and the rare material - Giant Crystal]
