Moon Spirit Clam Clan; The Beasts Show Their Might!
The further out you go in the Outer Sea, the more chaotic it becomes.
The giant turtle burst forth from the sea, opened its mouth and bit off a monstrous bird that was skimming across the water, the splashing water stretching for miles.
The astonishing Thunder Python unleashed a vast expanse of sea, ultimately nearly swallowing a school of fish.
The three members of the Ye Family showed great patience towards these powerful demons, using their specially concealed spirit shuttles and deliberately avoiding them, so no danger occurred.
Even when encountering second-tier Demon Beast, they did not easily attempt to kill them.
For cultivators, fighting these powerful demons in the sea would undoubtedly be unwise.
Unless there's Array involved, this would definitely be a thankless task.
"That's Crescent Moon Island in the distance!" Just then, Ye Xingliu's eyes flashed with spiritual light as he spoke.
Ye Jingcheng also looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the island was not large, and from the sky, it looked like a crescent moon.
That's why Ye Xingliu called it Crescent Moon Island.
Within the crescent shape, there is a long stretch of shallow water where one can vaguely see many sand crabs and Green-Armored Crab scurrying about.
"There are so many sand crabs and Green-Armored Crab here, the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron must feed on them. Let's set up a formation on the beach and wait for the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron to come," Ye Xingliu quickly concluded. After speaking, he looked at Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuefu, his tone questioning.
Of course, this doesn't mean Ye Xingliu lacks confidence, but rather it's a result of the change in strength. Ye Jingcheng has the highest cultivation level, so no matter how good Ye Xingliu's decisions are, ultimately it still has to be Ye Jingcheng who makes the final decision.
The three used the spirit shuttle to travel onto the island, and then cast Concealment Array to hide themselves.
During this time, Ye Jingcheng's Divine Sense was highly concentrated. Fortunately, the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron did not seem to be on the island, and the three of them set up the Array very smoothly.
In their panic, the few Green-Armored Crab clenched their pincers, disturbing the sand on the ground, but it quickly returned to normal under the wash of the waves.
As time passed, the Array completely disappeared, and the beach returned to tranquility. Sand crabs and Green-Armored Crab once again poked their heads and large pincers out.
The golden sunlight shone on the beach, making the seawater appear golden.
The three members of the Ye Family waited for three days.
At this moment, all three of them looked somewhat impatient.
Although they had plenty of time, if the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron had already left, their wait would have been in vain.
After all, Spirit Beast like demonic birds don't have a strong sense of territory except when they're laying eggs and prefer to stay in one place.
Moreover, once they find a new hunting spot, they often forget about the previous one.
As dusk fell once more, more and more blue crabs, fish, and shrimp appeared on the beach.
As Spirit Beast, they were all the size of a basin, with enormous pincers, and their auras were around the mid-stage of the first rank. They lived in groups.
The clicking sound, like drumming, never stopped.
As the last rays of sunset disappeared, the sky gradually turned inky black, revealing a dazzling array of stars and a half-full moon.
"Let's wait another day. Although we have time to spare, our second great-uncle needs us to hunt down as many Demon Beast as possible!" Ye Xuefu said.
He is the most senior person here, and he is also the person in charge of the Hidden Island.
"Ninth Grand Uncle, Third Uncle, look!" Just then, Ye Jingcheng suddenly pointed into the distance and spoke.
Moonlight and starlight mingled and spilled onto the shallows, and the cool seawater shimmered with gentle light.
The water shimmered, and the waves seemed much calmer.
If before it was a hard slap on the sand, now it's a gentle caress.
Before long, one after another, spirit clams appeared on the shallows. Bright spots of light reflected off their shells, and these spots of light were deep and somewhat dreamlike.
They possess a unique radiance, and the aura they exude is different.
As the regular tides recede, more and more seashells appear on the beach.
At a glance, there seemed to be no fewer than several hundred, including not only first-tier spirit shells but also late-stage second-tier spirit shells.
As the spirit shell appeared on the beach, the Green-Armored Crab and sand crabs could only helplessly raise their pincers and be forced into the seawater.
Although they were unwilling, this spirit shell could unleash water arrows, and its power was considerable.
Furthermore, with a single water arrow from a second-tier spirit shell, the blue armor of the Green-Armored Crab was so powerful that not a single crab dared to remain on the beach.
After all, it is extremely difficult for both the Green-Armored Crab and the Sand Crab to break through to the second tier.
"This is the Moon Spirit Clam Clan!" Ye Xingliu's eyes shone with barely suppressed elation.
This Moon Spirit Clam clan may be unfamiliar to cultivators of the Yan Kingdom, but for the Azure Cloud Sea Region, it represents a stable channel for wealth, and could even be described as a divine blessing.
These Moon Spirit Clam clans can produce Moon Spirit Pearl, which are invaluable cultivation materials for Water Attribute cultivators, as they can enhance their cultivation.
At the same time, for cultivators in the Azure Cloud Sea Region who consume large amounts of Demon Beast Core, it is also a treasure that can purify and condense Spiritual Qi.
The advantage of using Demon Beast Core to refine elixirs is that the quantity is large and the refining difficulty is also lower.
However, more elixirs will cause the Spiritual Qi to become more unstable. In the short term, this will not cause any problems, but in the long term, it will be extremely difficult to break through to the Golden Core stage.
This can be clearly seen from the fact that there are many Purple Mansion in the Azure Cloud Sea Region, but not many Golden True Person.
The entire Azure Cloud Sea Region is much larger than any cultivation kingdom in the Eastern Region.
However, there are only one or two Golden Core True Person in almost every archipelago or sea area.
The Moon Spirit Clam Moon Spirit Pearl by this Moon Spirit Shell can eliminate this hidden danger.
The Yun Family of the Skycloud Archipelago has a Moon Spirit Clam clan, but it is said that the highest Moon Spirit Clam is only at the early stage of the third rank, and it took countless resources to reach the early stage of the third rank.
Even so, the Yun Family gained many more Purple Mansion cultivators, and none of them were low in the Purple Mansion realm.
They even recruited a number of foreign players.
Of course, for Ye Jingcheng at this moment, what he saw was not just the Moon Spirit Clam Clan; within his Treasure Book, a considerable amount of light was shining.
Some have two layers of light, while others have three, indicating that these Moon Spirit Clam have the potential to become Demon King.
"Chirp!" Just then, a faint, almost inaudible chirping sound rang out in the sky, and the next moment, a light flashed in the night sky.
"It's that Golden-Clawed Sea Heron! That heron certainly knows how to eat!" Ye Xingliu couldn't help but sneer when he saw a heron that was about ten feet long and wide in the distance.
For cultivators, this Moon Spirit Pearl is definitely a natural elixir or fruit.
Even when giving it to one's own cultivators, one must carefully consider the consequences. If the heron were to ruin it all, it would be a great loss.
In the short term, the value of the heron is naturally higher than that of these Moon Spirit Clam, but in the long term, this is not the case.
This is especially true for the Ye Family.
"Next, Jingcheng, you and Starflow deal with the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron, and I'll deal with these Moon Spirit Clam. I have the Blood-Eye Pupil Technique!" Ye Xuefu said.
Although there is Array, the difficulty lies in how to retain the Moon Spirit Clam and how to kill the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron.
Their initial Array was a killing formation because they were worried that Ye Jingcheng's breakthrough time was too short.
Not enough to quickly kill this Golden-Clawed Sea Heron.
"Alright!" Ye Jingcheng didn't presume to be arrogant and nodded in agreement, as Ye Xingliu's strength was indeed extremely formidable.
The Array also greatly helped him.
This is, after all, the first time we've ambushed and killed such a powerful flying demon, so it's better to be cautious.
As for Ye Xuefu's pupil technique, its power can be seen from the fact that the Fire-Separation Green Ox in the late stage of the second tier could control the Golden Falcon.
This eye technique must be enhanced by a Beast Communion.
With the addition of the Fire-Separation Green Ox, controlling those five late-stage second-tier Moon Spirit Clam shouldn't be difficult.
As for the remaining Moon Spirit Clam, some will always be lost.
All they could say was that they would do their best, since they had no prior knowledge of the existence of the Moon Spirit Clam Clan.
After making a decision quickly, the three of them exchanged glances.
The Golden-Clawed Sea Heron in the sky had already reached the surface of the lake and was about to swoop down on a Moon Spirit Clam. These Moon Spirit Clam were very fast, but there were too many of them, making it difficult for them to break free.
Just as the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron caught a mid-stage second-tier Moon Spirit Clam the size of a basin.
Ye Jingcheng instantly activated the Azure Swan Sword, and at the same time, a golden light rose into the sky, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Crimson Flame Fox flew out. The Crimson Flame Fox unleashed four fireballs in the blink of an eye.
These four fireballs are no ordinary fireballs; they are formed from True Essence, resembling crimson, translucent spheres of spiritual energy. Their terrifyingly high temperature, with just a passing blast, instantly scorched and vaporized a small portion of the sea.
Countless plumes of mist rose up, creating a truly magnificent sight.
However, the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron was very fast, even faster than Ye Jingcheng and the others had imagined. It seemed that their speed was not at its fastest when they were hunting.
Even when its claws reached the Moon Spirit Clam, it decisively gave up, using the recoil from throwing the Moon Spirit Clam to transform into a golden light, leaving behind a fleeting afterimage.
Four fireballs blasted into the air, one of which created a huge crater in the sea.
The power of this sinkhole evaporated all the seawater, leaving not a trace.
The other three were far inferior; those three were merely illusions created by the spirit fox.
But it was still breathtaking enough.
"Cry!" The Golden-Clawed Sea Heron cried out, as if it were enraged to the extreme by the flames.
Its wingspan was enormous, radiating a terrifying golden light that formed golden blades that sent Ye Jingcheng's Azure Swan Sword flying.
At that moment, the Golden Falcon in the sky and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon in the sea rushed out almost simultaneously.
Its terrifying diving speed surpassed even that of the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron, while the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon below was equally formidable.
It transformed into a dazzling white spiritual light, and a tall Jade-Scale Flood Dragon fin turned into Jade-Scale Tail Blade that slashed down.
Boom!
The Golden-Clawed Sea Heron had no choice but to endure it.
It raised its neck and let out a long howl, and the Demon Beast Core began to be activated.
In an instant, it was like the golden sun.
Boom!
However, with a loud bang, the Golden Falcon's golden sword still shattered the golden light of the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron, and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon beside it also shattered the golden light.
A bloody wing was severed, and at the same time, a heron's leg was cut off.
"Screech!" A long cry of extreme pain sent the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron stumbling and falling into the sea, only to be met head-on once again by the Crimson Flame Fox's Fireball Technique.
However, the fireball at this moment was not crimson, but bluish-red.
It was the Spirit Flame, Azure Sun Flame.
The flames were terrifying; it seemed that the more severely the heron was injured, the more intensely it burned.
The Golden-Clawed Sea Heron screamed in agony, its soul power seemingly about to be burned away.
"Little Flame, take it back!" Ye Jingcheng said.
This Azure Sun Flame is incredibly domineering; if it continues to burn like this, the entire Golden-Clawed Sea Heron will be wiped out.
The value of a third-tier great demon is greatly diminished.
The Crimson Flame Fox let out two sharp cries and withdrew its flames. A hint of fatigue appeared on its brow, clearly indicating that controlling the Azure Sun Flame had taken a toll.
The surviving heron was then struck again by the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, its body instantly severed from its head.
Fast, too fast!
The scene that unfolded surprised all three of them.
The three newly-developed Purple Mansion Spirit Beast, along with Ye Jingcheng, subdued the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron in just a few moments.
Ye Jingcheng only symbolically unleashed a single sword strike, while Ye Xingliu barely had time to activate the Array.
"Don't just stand there, go all out to capture the Moon Spirit Clam!" Ye Xuefu said.
In the distance, Ye Xuefu had already activated his Blood-Eye Pupil, along with his Spirit Beast, the Fire-Separation Green Ox.
Its crimson gaze swept across the Moon Spirit Clam clan.
Two pairs of eyes covered about twenty second-tier Moon Spirit Clam, while the remaining first-tier Moon Spirit Clam had already started to run away.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng dared not be negligent and released the Four-Colored Cloud Deer and the Golden-Scaled Beast.
The Golden-Scaled Beast paced anxiously, noticing that the Crimson Flame Fox and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon had come up and were showing off their power and prestige!
All it saw was the ocean and the fleeing Moon Spirit Clam.
Ye Jingcheng didn't let it kill him.
The Four-Colored Cloud Deer, however, flew into the air, and its already large nose seemed to have grown even larger.
He took a deep breath through his nose.
The Moon Spirit Clam were starting to stumble and stagger, becoming unsteady, let alone able to escape.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xingliu and Ye Jingcheng each took out their Law Artifact.
Ye Jingcheng took out the Clan Head's Token, using it to capture souls and control as many Moon Spirit Clam as possible.
Ye Xingliu then took out a Law Artifact, a demon-catching bag.
They sucked hard at those Moon Spirit Clam.
Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng also took out the Lake-Holding Pearl. The two Law Artifact first collected the second-tier Moon Spirit Clam, and then collected the first-tier Moon Spirit Clam.
Of course, when encountering a creature that had realized its mistake and unleashed its water arrow technique, Ye Jingcheng also ordered the Golden Golden-Scaled Beast to use its Golden Shield Secret Method.
They blocked the water arrow attack.
The shield, imbued with golden light, was like an iron plate; despite the loud booming sounds, it couldn't penetrate it, instead causing water to splash and disperse.
At the same time, Ye Jingcheng didn't hold back and directly Green Wood Spirit Seed. The two Adamantine Vine Seeds were activated together, and countless vines emerged in the sea, binding all the Moon Spirit Clam that had broken free of the illusion.
Although the Adamantine Vine is only a second-tier high-grade Spirit Vine, its effect at this moment is even better than that of a second-tier top-grade magic Law Artifact.
The three of them, along with a group of Spirit Beast, quickly collected all the Moon Spirit Clam.
Of course, at this moment, there were still quite a few first-class swimmers in the seawater.
But for the Ye Family, there was no point in searching for them one by one.
After all, ninety percent of it had already fallen into the hands of the three of them, which was already an enormous fortune for the Ye Family.
All you need to do Beast Communion properly and raise them well.
The only difficulty is that the Ye Family must find a new location; Purplewood Island is definitely not suitable for cultivating Moon Spirit Clam.
The Ye Family established the Purplewood Sect for two purposes: first, to provide cover, and second, to bleed the sect dry. If the sect were to bleed them dry in return, then the purpose of establishing the sect would be lost.
Therefore, the Moon Spirit Clam Shell must not be known to the Purplewood Sect.
Of course, after killing the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron, Ye Jingcheng also took out a large piece of meat and distributed it to the group of Spirit Beast.
The Jade-Scale Flood Dragon, Crimson Flame Fox, Golden Falcon each received three-thirds, while the Golden-Scaled Beast, Four-Colored Cloud Deer, Fire-Separation Green Ox, and Jade-Eyed Golden-Pupil Tiger each received the remaining small portion.
The meat from the beasts was used by the Ye Family to enhance the fighting spirit of their Spirit Beast during hunting training.
Spirit Beast is Spirit Beast after all; if it lacks ferocity, its strength will be greatly reduced.
Moreover, as Spirit Beast, sometimes it's better to be a little impulsive.
After all, if things really come to a dead end, Spirit Beast are required to make sacrifices, Spirit Beast they can truly make sacrifices without hesitation.
The three did not return to the island to search, because their greatest gain was already in their hands. Now that the sea was tainted with blood, leaving as soon as possible was the most important thing.
Otherwise, if it attracts other third-tier powerful demons, or even Fourth Stage Demon King, then things will get really messy.
Moreover, if the Golden-Clawed Sea Heron on the island don't return for three or four days, there certainly aren't any treasures there.
Searching for first or second-tier spirit medicine is completely pointless.
