Mo Wuji was completely exhausted, and the four who were rowing the boat were not much better. Seeing that Mo Wuji was unable to attack any further, Ji Guang and the others frantically rowed the boat.

Although the leather boat was relatively resistant to the electric attacks of the Thunder Crocodiles, too many electric attacks would still break through the boat, especially since it was still raining.

Fortunately, after Mo Wuji had killed more than a dozen Thunder Crocodiles, there were only two or three more that continued to chase. More importantly, these few Thunder Crocodiles had all been seriously injured by Mo Wuji. After Mo Wuji stopped attacking and the leather boat sped up, these severely injured Thunder Crocodiles quickly lost their target, or rather, lost the source of their anger.

Thunder Crocodiles are a very peculiar type of demonic beast; they are extremely vengeful. The more hatred they harbor, the stronger their vitality becomes, and the greater their attack power and explosive force become. They also lock onto their target. Unless faced with overwhelming attacks that leave them with no room for resistance, they will never retreat.

After another two hours or so, the leather boat stopped at a reef island with a circumference of at least a hundred li. By this time, the heavy rain had stopped.

Mo Wuji had recovered some of his strength, while Ji Guang and the other three were paralyzed from exhaustion.

"Brother Mo, thanks to you this time. Let's go up and rest for a bit. You drag the leather boat up and hide it among the reefs," Ji Guang was the first to climb onto the reef island. His address unconsciously changed from Brother Mo to Brother Mo.

Although Mo Wuji's injuries were significant, with a tearing sensation all over his body, he was the strongest among them.

"Wuji, I admire you," Ding Buer staggered up, barely able to lift his arms.

Gao Juan and Sun Liyan looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of awe. The original disdain had long since disappeared without a trace.

Although they were almost exhausted, it was only from doing manual labor. Mo Wuji was the real shield. If it weren't for Mo Wuji holding them back, they would all be dead the moment they were surrounded by the numerous Thunder Crocodiles.

"Brother Ji, is this the place?" Mo Wuji looked at the rugged reef island in the distance, seeing only a hundred meters in any direction.

Mo Wuji didn't say much about his resistance against the Thunder Crocodiles. In fact, if he hadn't deliberately entangled the Thunder Crocodiles, Ji Guang's group might not have been entangled either. Of course, that was just a possibility, so he still played a role.

"That's right, this is the place. I've been here once before, and not many people know about it. Wuji, you contributed the most this time. And because we left in such a hurry, you didn't get any Thunder Crocodile materials. As long as we get more than two Sea Winged Leopard eggs on this reef island, you can have one first," Ji Guang said with sincerity, and his attitude had changed significantly.

No one had any objections to Ji Guang's words. Strength represents everything. Mo Wuji was able to block the Thunder Crocodiles all the way and kill more than a dozen of them. His strength was probably stronger than Ji Guang's. Mo Wuji's strength earned their respect.

Mo Wuji naturally wouldn't say much. He didn't come here for Thunder Crocodile materials or Sea Winged Leopard eggs. He used the Thunder Crocodiles to blast open his meridians, and now his goal had been achieved. As for the Sea Winged Leopard eggs, it would be best to get them, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't.

"I suggest we rest here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning," Mo Wuji knew that everyone was tired and hadn't slept for a long time. Searching for Sea Winged Leopard eggs in this condition would likely get them killed. Similarly, his own injuries were serious, and he needed to rest for a night to heal.

Gao Juan nodded and said, "I agree with Brother Mo's suggestion. Let's rest here for the night."

Although Ji Guang really wanted to leave early to search, Mo Wuji had spoken, and Gao Juan agreed, so he also agreed with Mo Wuji's suggestion.

…

The heavy rain had long stopped, and only the raging waves continued to crash against the reef shore. Except for Ding Buer, the other four had all cultivated. So Ding Buer fell asleep as soon as he entered the cave, while Mo Wuji and the other three meditated and cultivated their Qi.

Having opened twenty-seven meridians, Mo Wuji's cultivation speed was skyrocketing. Even though the spiritual energy here wasn't strong, an invisible spiritual energy loop still formed around him.

Waking up after a night, Mo Wuji felt refreshed. Not only had his injuries improved greatly, but he also felt that his strength had increased significantly.

"Brother Mo, are you cultivating the Qi Refining Foundation?" Ji Guang asked first in the morning after everyone woke up. His cultivation was low, so he couldn't sense Mo Wuji's cultivation. He saw that Mo Wuji's cultivation posture looked a lot like the Qi Refining Foundation.

Mo Wuji smiled and said, "Yes, I can't afford other cultivation techniques, so I chose the Qi Refining Foundation."

Ji Guang said seriously, "Brother Mo, with your strength, you can definitely get a better cultivation technique. Thunder Crocodile materials are actually very valuable. I suggest you find someone to team up with in the future and rent a boat to hunt Six-Legged Thunder Crocodiles. It won't be long before you can buy a very good, high-quality Human-Grade cultivation technique. The Qi Refining Foundation is too slow to cultivate and requires a lot of cultivation resources, which isn't worth it."

Mo Wuji said noncommittally, "My spiritual roots are very poor. Being able to cultivate is already very lucky. As for whether the cultivation technique is good or bad, I'm not too particular about it. What's more, the cultivation technique I'm cultivating has an arrogant name, Undying Mortal Art. It's so impressive to say it out loud."

"Hehe…" Ji Guang and the other three laughed at the same time, not knowing what else to say. It was the first time he had seen someone who cared about the name of their cultivation technique more than their own future.

"Wuji, you can cultivate now?" Ding Buer asked in a low voice.

Mo Wuji patted Ding Buer and said, "You should start cultivating the Undying Mortal Art when you go back. My spiritual roots are very poor, almost non-existent, and I can still cultivate. Maybe you can cultivate too."

Mo Wuji decided that once things stabilized on his end, he would find a way to help Ding Buer open up his meridians.

"I can really cultivate?" Ding Buer asked in surprise. Immortals were unattainable beings in his eyes. Mo Wuji said that he could also cultivate, so how could he not be overjoyed?

Ji Guang also said with a smile, "As long as you have a little bit of spirituality, even with the worst spiritual root aptitude, you can still cultivate. The only difference is the level of achievement."

Hearing this, Ding Buer was greatly encouraged. Maybe he had a little bit of spiritual root too. Unlike Mo Wuji, he didn't have the opportunity to do formal testing. Because out of ten thousand people, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine were mortal roots. Someone with a humble background like him, whose ancestors were all mortal roots, would naturally also have mortal roots.

Unlike Mo Wuji, he didn't care whether he had spiritual roots or mortal roots. But now that he had come to the capital, he saw many people with spiritual roots around him, which made him feel a little excited. Moreover, mortals were often bullied, which made him want to become stronger.

"Let's go, set off." After resting for the whole night, everyone had recovered. Ji Guang waved his hand and took the lead.

This reef island was very vast. The five of them walked for more than two hours, still traversing through the numerous strange-shaped reefs.

Continuing to walk like this wasn't a good idea. Just as Mo Wuji was about to ask Ji Guang if he had determined a direction, he heard a scream beside him.

Mo Wuji was the first to fall to the ground. At the same time, he saw clearly who the person who screamed was – Sun Liyan, who hadn't spoken much. At this moment, Mo Wuji clearly saw a blood hole in Sun Liyan's right chest, and blood was gushing out continuously.

"Everyone, don't move. This is a Dart Beast. The darts shot out by this beast have a corrosive effect. Once hit, it's extremely painful and agonizing," Ji Guang called out first, and at the same time took out a pill and gave it to Sun Liyan.

Sun Liyan didn't make another sound after letting out a scream when he was first hit. After taking the pill given by Ji Guang, he took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound, then wrapped it up. Fortunately, he didn't injure any vital organs, and with the good medicine, the bleeding had stopped.

The five of them moved closer together, and Ding Buer asked in a low voice, "Where is the Dart Beast? Why can't I see it?"

Ji Guang said solemnly, "Dart Beasts are best at camouflage. Sometimes they camouflage as a rock. If you're not careful, you can't even tell. Most of the people who die looking for Sea Winged Leopard eggs here don't die from the Sea Winged Leopard, but from the Dart Beasts."

Everyone subconsciously looked at the reefs around them, and another scream came.

This time, all five of them clearly heard that the scream wasn't from one of them.

"Besides us, someone else has come here." Just as Gao Juan finished speaking, they saw two figures staggering out from the corner of the reef in front of them.

Just as the two of them rushed out, a lithe black shadow descended from the sky, opened its mouth wide, bit one of them, and swallowed them.

"Is that the Sea Winged Leopard?" Ding Buer asked in surprise. He saw that the black shadow that swallowed the person had a head that was exactly like a leopard's. The difference was that the sea beast's mouth was much larger, and it had a pair of black wings on its back.

Mo Wuji was also shocked. Who said that Sea Winged Leopards had weak fighting power? It just killed a person in one bite. How could that be weak?
