Chapter 262: Mutual Restraint
When Chen Laosan saw this situation, he laughed even more proudly.
Obviously, with Chen Laosan's rich experience in the rivers and lakes, as well as his old personal vision, he can also see it. At this time, the blue water beast, when it was injured by Yu Chu, already hated Yu Chu, so it went all out as soon as it struck. Extremely angry, this blue water beast used all the strength it could use with its first attack, so as to kill it with one blow. In addition, coupled with the geographical advantage, the blue water beast, a water-attribute fierce beast, can exert more powerful power by the offensive means used when it is in the water. Under the superposition of the two advantages, the blue water beast at this time, this attack should definitely not be underestimated. Moreover, the attack of the blue water beast used the lake water, using its own true qi and its innate ability to fit the water in the five elements. When a breath of true qi is exhaled, the entrained vitality that attracts water attracts the surrounding lake water and attaches to the surface of the true qi. At the same time, the vitality also further transforms the lake water, transforming the originally ordinary lake water into ice qi.
Although the water attribute and the ice attribute are two different attributes, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to appear on the body of the same fierce beast, either the water attribute or the ice attribute. To be careful, although the ice attribute is a variant of the water attribute, it is not exactly the same as the water attribute, and in some aspects, there are still huge differences. In detail, the water attribute is more about the control of water, and the beast itself has a large amount of water in its body, and after further refining, this water is no longer ordinary water.
There are many different differences in water properties, the most common being weak water. Weak water is a kind of water that has always had a great reputation in myths and legends. Usually the most well-known. It is the attribute that its goose feathers do not float. Even if a goose feather falls on weak water, it will not be able to float. Judging from this point, the power of this weak water, when really used, is actually quite powerful.
Then there is heavy water, which, as the name suggests, is surprisingly dense. The appearance of heavy water is the essence of the Five Elements Water absorbed by the fierce beast from the outside world through its body, after countless refining and condensation. only to change out. This kind of heavy water, the more times it is condensed, the more times it is refined, and the strength of the fierce beast increases. The density of heavy water is also increasing. At a certain point, a drop of heavy water on the stone has the potential to drip through the stone. When such heavy water is used to attack, the strength is naturally greater, and the heavier the heavy water, the greater the power, to a certain extent. The weight of a drop of heavy water can even reach several thousand catties. Tens of thousands of catties, or even heavier. And such heavy water, hitting a person's body, even a powerful immortal cultivator can't withstand it, not even the power of a drop of heavy water.
In addition to heavy and weak water, there is another type of water that is very famous. It's called poisonous water, and the so-called poisonous water isn't how violently toxic it is. Rather, it is extremely corrosive. In fact, water with poison is no longer water, but poison. The poisonous water that is truly cultivated is a poisonous water with strong corrosive properties. This kind of poisonous water, because it is inherently corrosive, is highly corrosive, and under normal circumstances, not to mention the body skin of ordinary people, or ordinary animals, even if it is steel and steel, it can easily corrode it to the brink. In the process of cultivation, as the strength of the immortal cultivator increases, the body's resistance will also increase step by step. As the body's resistance increases, so does its corrosiveness to the outside world. Therefore, this poisonous water, when it comes to its own corrosiveness, is not very likely to cause direct harm to immortal cultivators. Moreover, if the poisonous water hits the body of the immortal cultivator, or sticks to the immortal cultivator, it cannot easily cause the immortal cultivator to suffer serious injuries, or the entire body is corroded by the poisonous water. What really causes damage to immortal cultivators is the subsequent damage. First of all, if the poisonous water wants to hurt the immortal cultivator, it also has to rely on the attack power of the beast itself, the attack power of itself, and use the poisonous water to hit the opponent's body, and at the same time injure the opponent, the poisonous water penetrates into the opponent's body along the wound. And this poisonous water, because it itself belongs to the kind of corrosive attack that is extremely feminine and extremely difficult to get rid of, so once it enters the opponent's body, it will follow the opponent's body, penetrate into other parts of the body, and even enter the blood circulation. And once it enters the blood circulation, with the powerful corrosive ability of the poisonous water, it is difficult to refine the poisonous water by using the true qi inside itself, and there is even no way to refine it. The level of poisonous water is also above the true qi of the immortal cultivator, and when it encounters the true qi of the immortal cultivator, it will further corrode the true qi of the immortal cultivator.
This kind of corrosion is actually similar to Yu Chu's law-breaking strength. It's just that the invisible energy of the law-breaking energy is instantaneous, and it can be refined. The poisonous water does not take effect instantly, but after entering the body of the immortal cultivator, it slowly takes effect. It is precisely because of the slow occurrence of action, so it is extremely difficult to get rid of it, and at the same time, coupled with its own powerful corrosive effect, it is very likely that an immortal cultivator has been hit by a blow of the poisonous water of the beast, and in the case of not being able to refine, he has been tortured, causing his cultivation to become lower and lower day by day, and when the cultivation is low to a certain extent, the power of the poisonous water explodes, and the life of this immortal cultivator can be said to be wasted.
In addition, in addition to being corrosive, the poisonous water itself also has a certain power. When the cultivation of the immortal cultivator can suppress the power of the poisonous water, it is good to say, once the cultivation of the immortal cultivator cannot suppress the power of the poisonous water, the poisonous water breaks out, and at this time, it is very likely that the immortal cultivator will die.
Therefore, among these three types of water, weak water, heavy water and poisonous water, although the most special nature is weak water, the most powerful direct effect is heavy water, but what really makes people feel terrible is poisonous water. Poisonous water, this kind of water, the ability to directly harm is not strong. But when the immortal cultivator fights with this attribute water attribute beast, it is the most dangerous, if he is not injured, it is better to say, once he is injured and cannot expel the poisonous water in his body in time, he is likely to face death in the end. Of course, it is said that poisonous water is difficult here, but there are still certain restrictions, when the strength of the immortal cultivator is not as good as the fierce beast that uses poisonous water, or it is similar to the fierce beast, the threat of poisonous water is very strong at this time. When the immortal cultivator cultivated to far surpass the fierce beast that used poisonous water, at this time. Even if the fierce beast used poisonous water to hit the immortal cultivator, this immortal cultivator could also rely on his true qi. Expel the poisonous water, and even refine it. It's just that expulsion and refining will be more troublesome in comparison.
Weak water, heavy water, poisonous water, these are three very common types of water. But although these three types of water are common, they are not as good as the true water of the five elements. For the fierce beast of the Five Elements Fierce Beast. Speaking of the water attribute beast alone, due to the different directions of its own cultivation, the direction it chooses is different. The water that comes out of cultivation is very different, and even in terms of attributes, it is completely different, or completely opposite. But no matter how big the difference. One thing is constant. That is the Five Elements True Water Attribute.
All water attributes belong to the five element attributes, but the five elements of true water are the purification of the five elements of water attributes. The essence of this water property. Regardless of whether the fierce beast cultivates weak water, heavy water, or poisonous water, its essence is composed of the five elements of true water, but. Due to the different nature of the water they cultivate, the attributes of the Five Elements True Water will also undergo certain changes. For example, in weak water. When the Five Elements True Water is affected, it will contain certain characteristics of weak water. Fierce beasts with heavy water attributes, when the Five Elements True Water is affected, will contain a certain amount of heavy water characteristics. Fierce beasts with poisonous water attributes, when the Five Elements True Water is affected, will contain certain poisonous water characteristics. But despite the inclusion, the essence of the Five Elements True Water remains the same. This kind of Five Elements True Water is the basis for the fierce beast to cultivate the water attribute, and it is also the power of the most essential water.
And there is another kind of fierce beast, which is also a fierce beast with pure strength among the water attribute fierce beasts, this kind of fierce beast, concentrates on extracting the essence of water from ordinary water. Since this water itself is the most ordinary water, it is not like weak water, and even goose feathers cannot float. It is also not like heavy water, which is extremely heavy, and it is not like poisonous water, which is corrosive. This kind of water, because it is pure and pure water, the essence of the water extracted is also very pure and pure. Such a pure and pure essence of water, when it comes to power, may not be as good as weak water, not as good as heavy water, not as good as poisonous water, but because this essence of water is extremely pure, once it is refined to the end, the five elements true water in the body of this water attribute beast is also the purest five elements true water.
The purest Five Elements True Water does not necessarily mean that it is the most powerful, but the purest Five Elements True Water has the strongest miscibility and ability to fuse with other waters. In this regard, it is far better than poisonous water, weak water or heavy water.
In fact, the water attributes cultivated by the ordinary Five Elements Fierce Beasts themselves must contain some other qualities, such as poisonous water attributes, weak water attributes, or heavy water attributes, and even some other extremely rare water attributes, plague water attributes, plague water attributes, etc. And in most cases, the water attribute cultivated by the fierce beast is not even just one water attribute, but a combination of several water attributes, and many fierce beasts contain several water attributes in their bodies, such as having both poisonous water attributes and weak water attributes, or having both poisonous water attributes and heavy water attributes, or having all three attributes at the same time.
This situation is also quite common. What is really rare is the pure Five Elements True Water Attribute Water Attribute Water Attribute Beast, because relatively speaking, the pure water attribute attack does not contain any other effects except for its own attack, and compared with the heavy water attribute, weak water attribute, or bustle water attribute, its power seems to be too low.
For the fierce beasts that have not really produced wisdom and rely more on instinct, the pursuit of strength is the only goal, in this case, when the fierce beast refines the water attribute in its body, of course, it will subconsciously choose some more powerful water attributes.
But on the other hand, these fierce beasts didn't realize that although the power of the pure water attribute was weaker at the beginning, because it itself was transformed into the purest Five Elements True Water, and it was directly transformed into the purest Five Elements True Water. Unlike heavy water, weak water, or poisonous water, when transformed, it is inevitable that the characteristics of heavy water, weak water, or poisonous water will be carried on top of the Five Elements True Water.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the difficulty of transforming the Five Elements True Water into the True Water of the Pure Water Attribute Beast is easier than that of the Fierce Beast of Heavy Water, Weak Water, or Poisonous Water. In addition to being a little easier, the Five Elements True Water that it transforms will also be a little more in terms of the final amount.
With these two phenomena, the strength of the pure water attribute beast at the beginning was weaker than that of heavy water, weak water, or poisonous water beast. But in the later stage, the strength will increase by leaps and bounds, especially with the increase in the true water volume of the five elements. The strength of this kind of fierce beast is much greater than that of other fierce beasts of various water attributes.
But for the fierce beast, because it doesn't have much wisdom itself, it mostly relies on instinct, so the power of the pure water attribute is weaker than water in the later stage. Or the poisonous water is more powerful, but few beasts can realize it. The fierce beasts that can really be realized are usually the demon cultivator family. in his family. Demon cultivators who have cultivated in the enlightenment period or above the enlightenment period, in this case, when the younger generations are cultivating, the seniors with rich experience will give them certain guidance. Selectively cultivate. Thus the pure water attribute is selected.
In addition to this kind of demon cultivation family, if there are fierce beasts that can cultivate pure water attributes, it is most likely because of coincidence.
The above are all water-attribute beasts. The ice attribute, although it is a type of water attribute, is not a water attribute in the strict sense. The water attribute beast is the beast, and the beast controls the water. This water is either weak or pure. Whether it is heavy water, or even poisonous water, it is all water, refining in the body, refining the five elements of true water, through the five elements of true water, controlling the water in one's own body, or controlling the water outside the body, from beginning to end, it is all water.
Ice attribute beasts are different, ice attribute beasts, what they really control is not water, but cold. This kind of fierce beast, since the beginning of cultivation, is to absorb cold qi, enter the body, and then further refine, condensing the cold essence in the body. This kind of cold essence is completely different from the Five Elements True Water. When fighting, the fighting method is even more different, the water attribute beast is spitting water, using the water it spits out to hurt the enemy. The ice attribute beast spits out cold air, and uses the cold air to mobilize, condense, freeze and damage the enemy, or freeze the enemy.
Of course, since the ice attribute is a variant of the water attribute after all, the bodies of some ice attribute beasts also have a certain water attribute, and this water attribute may be heavy water, pure water, poisonous water, weak water, and even plague water. But no matter what kind of water it is, due to the different attributes of these fierce beasts, the weight of these waters will not be too large, at least far from being comparable to the real water attribute fierce beasts.
Even in terms of quantity, it is not at all comparable in terms of power. After all, it is not a real water-attribute beast, and the power of the water that is refined is far from being comparable to that of a real water-attribute beast. In addition, due to the huge difference between the ice attribute beast and the water attribute beast, when refining the water in the body, it was rarely able to refine the essence of water, the Five Elements True Water.
Of course, the reason why it is said is very little, it is not absolute, a certain part of the fierce beasts, in the case of a rather coincidental situation, can still be refined, after all, in addition to single-attribute fierce beasts, there are also multi-attribute fierce beasts, fierce beasts with both water attributes and ice attributes, and it is also quite easy to have the five elements of true water and cold ice essence in the body at the same time.
But this is a special case, and most of the time, it is not like this. The vast majority of ice-attribute beasts will also have the Five Elements True Water in their bodies, but these Five Elements True Water is not refined, but obtained from the outside world, and after swallowing, it is retained in the body.
In the body of an ice-attribute beast, it can obtain the five elements of true water from the outside world, and then keep it in the body, and replace it with a water-attribute beast, and it can also be done, and the water-attribute beast can also retain the ice essence obtained from the outside world in the body.
The difference between an ice-attribute beast and a water-attribute beast is that while spitting out ice essence, an ice-attribute beast can affect the water in the air outside, or mobilize the water in its own body to condense from the surroundings, or when it spews out of its mouth, it uses the ice essence to further condense the water and turn it into ice or ice picks, ice arrows, or defensive ice armor. This is the special ability of an ice-type beast, which is very different from a water-type beast.
As for the current blue water beast, it is just the opposite of the situation of the ice attribute. Ice attribute beasts are used to turn the five elements true water or ordinary water into ice, ice picks, ice arrows or ice armor when they have obtained the five elements of true water and stored it in their bodies. The current blue water beast is just the opposite, this blue water beast obviously has a cold ice essence in its body. And this single-attribute fierce beast, needless to say, this kind of ice essence was obtained from elsewhere. After getting it, it has been stored in the body, and just now, when it spit out its own vitality and the true water of the five elements, it absorbed the surrounding lake water and condensed it into a huge icicle.
Don't look at this water-attribute blue water beast, when using the ice essence, it is so familiar with it. In fact, it is actually quite not easy for a single attribute beast to retain the essence of another attribute in the body, not to mention that it has to constantly consume its own vitality and nourishment, and after retaining it for a long time, this essence of another attribute will even slowly disappear. Not even a single-attribute beast, even if it is a dual-attribute beast, or a multi-attribute beast, if you want to retain an attribute purification in your body that is completely unrelated to your own inherent attributes, you also need to constantly consume your own vitality, and after a long time, it will gradually disappear.
Different attributes and different attributes have different fit capabilities. Some attributes attract each other, such as water attributes and ice attributes, because they have the same root and origin, the possibility of coexistence at the same time will be relatively large, or electric attributes and thunder attributes, poison attributes and plague attributes, and plague attributes. In fact, many dual-attribute beasts or multi-attribute beasts, their own dual-attribute or multi-attribute beasts, are mutually beneficial, and only when they are born together, the possibility of being together will be relatively large. For example, thunder and fire dual-attribute beasts, thunder and lightning dual-attribute beasts, plague dual-attribute beasts, etc., gold and water dual-attribute beasts. As for the attribute of mutual restraint, the possibility of appearing is relatively small, for example, the flame golden sword talisman in Yu Chu's hand was obtained from the body of the golden and fire dual-attribute beast. The Five Elements Fire Ke Jin, this kind of gold and fire dual-attribute fierce beast, is actually quite rare. Nature is born of water, but the dual attributes of gold and water are more common. After the refining is successful, it may be a weak water golden sword rune, a heavy water gold sword rune, or a poisonous water gold sword rune. Therefore, it is actually quite easy to retain the cold essence in the body of a water-attribute fierce beast. At the same time, it is also quite easy to retain the Five Elements True Water in the body of the Ice Attribute Fierce Beast. What is not easy is that the body of the metallic beast retains the fire attribute, or the body of the fire attribute beast retains the metallic nature.
This is the attribute of mutual attraction, and there are also some attributes that are mutually exclusive, and the possibility of these mutually exclusive attributes being together is quite small, such as the two attributes of water and fire. In fact, fierce beasts with dual attributes of water and fire are very rare. Because of these two attributes, the mutual restraint between each other is extremely strong, and has reached a point where there is almost no compatibility at all. In the body of a water-attribute fierce beast, if the Five Elements True Fire is retained, it is used to cultivate the Five Elements True Fire, and the amount of the water-attribute fierce beast's own vitality consumed is simply unimaginable. In the same way, in the body of a fire-attribute beast, the retention of the Five Elements True Water is also the same thing, which is used to cultivate the formless true water, and it also consumes a large amount of vitality of the beast itself.
Even further, consuming a large amount of vitality is one aspect, and the difficulty of continuing to retain it is also a huge problem. In the case of consuming a large amount of vitality compared to the ordinary two attributes that merge with each other, the rate of consumption of the other attribute is also much faster than that of ordinary fierce beasts. This is another stat that is being consumed. It refers to the speed at which the fire attribute beast retains the Five Elements True Water in its body, and the Five Elements True Water is lost. Or when the water-attribute beast retains the Five Elements True Fire in its body, the speed at which the Five Elements True Fire is lost.
For this reason, ordinary fierce beasts, even if they don't have intelligence, rely on instinct, they still rarely do such thankless things. For example, in the body of a water-attribute beast, it is rare to retain the Five Elements True Fire, and the result of retaining the Five Elements True Fire is not only a matter of greatly accelerating the speed of consuming the Five Elements True Fire, but even consuming a large amount of its own vitality, and on the basis of consuming a large amount of its own vitality, due to the incompatibility of water and fire, the Five Elements True Fire will even cancel out the Five Elements True Water Essence in its own body.
The same thing, put on the fire attribute beast, the result is the same. (To be continued......)
