Chapter 643

Zhou Yang did not know that he had become the psychological shadow of his peers.

In his eyes, Zhou Bao only thought that the other party was introverted and didn't care too much.

In the final analysis, he and Zhou Bao don't have much friendship. Taking care of each other in the future is also based on the face of three grandpa Zhou Quan. They are destined not to deal with too much.

So he just said a few polite words and didn't say anything more.

In fact, among the "Yuan" generation of the whole Zhou family, Zhou Yang is also an alien.

Because of the memory of his previous life, he was young and wise. He didn't like to play with people of his age. Instead, he liked to hide in a quiet place and practice quietly. He often sat for a day.

In addition to his good Linggen qualification, he also contributed a lot to his achievement at such a young age.

Children are playful and active. They can't calm down to meditate and practice at a young age. It's not Zhou Yang who has memories of previous lives. Only those who are cold in nature and don't know what fun is can maintain high-intensity practice in childhood.

This maverick behavior naturally made the relationship between Zhou Yang and his peers very weak, and even once was collectively excluded and isolated by those peers.

When those people of the same generation grow up, understand the truth and apologize to him, this sense of alienation has formed. Even if he doesn't care, those people of the same generation will be ashamed and unwilling to stay in front of him, and the relationship will not be much improved.

This situation will only become more and more serious as his cultivation and fame become higher and higher.

So that up to now, his peers can only look up at him, a genius brother (younger brother) who has ridden the dust in his cultivation, and has completely lost the courage to talk with him on an equal footing.

Anyway, Zhou Bao's arrival did Zhou Yang a favor.

Although the cultivation of this clan brother is not good, at least he is also a four layer immortal who practices Qi. With him, Zhou Yang can safely hand over more than ten mu of spiritual field in Qingping mountain and some chores in the mine to the other party. At ease, he and old Zhou Quan go to the mine cave to squat and wait for the [golden rat] monster to arrive.

At this time, the cruelty of the fairy world appeared.

Even if he knew that the arrival of [golden rat] would certainly cause the death of the miners digging in the mine. At the insistence of the old man Zhou Quan, Zhou Yang's proposal to let the miners suspend work and withdraw from the mine was directly rejected by the old man.

FD) the old man not only ruthlessly rejected his proposal, but also gave him an education lesson.

"Xiao Jiu, you must remember that friars of our generation should not be soft hearted. No matter these mediocre mortal miners or family friars like me today, as long as we can exchange the strength of the family and let the family continue to pass on, you should give up us without hesitation!"

"Gecko's broken tail can be reborn. As long as the family can inherit it, our broken tails will grow back in the next generation sooner or later!"

"You are the hope of our Zhou family. If you can build a foundation successfully in the future, the position of clan leader of the Zhou family will be handed over to you. If you are kind and soft at that time, it will harm not only you, but the whole Zhou family!"

Usually a kind old man with a kind face, when talking about these words, his face is unspeakably cold, completely changed like a person.

Zhou Yang knew that at this moment, the other party was no longer talking to himself as a kind elder, but telling himself as a family elder.

As a child of Xiuxian family, we must attach importance to the interests of the family. We must not cause huge losses to the family because of personal kindness.

To tell the truth, he does not fully agree with the theory of supreme family interests, but he also knows that this is the normal way of life of all Xiuxian families in the world.

Moreover, although Zhou Quan's approach seems cold and inhuman, it is actually the best choice to achieve his goal quickly.

The monster is not a beast. The beast can only act by instinct. In addition to having the power of evil spirit, the monster also opens up its intelligence. The intelligence of the second-order monster is not low and knows how to think simply.

If they order the miners in the mine to withdraw and close the mine, the [golden rat] monster will surely realize that something is wrong and will not appear again.

Therefore, in order to lure the monster out, the miners must be used as human bait, and someone must sacrifice for it!

Therefore, Zhou Yang finally didn't say anything more. He could only acquiesce to the practice of old man Zhou Quan.

Taking miners as bait must not be known to the miners. Therefore, after making a decision, Zhou Yang and others used the breath gathering technique to calm their breath, quietly hid in an unsupported road in the mine and waited.

Waiting is painful, because no one knows when [golden rat] will come. Old Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan dare not make any movement, let alone practice.

In order to keep the squatting smoothly, the old man Zhou Quan even prepared two bottles of second-order elixir [Bigu pill] in advance. During the Qi training period, the friar took a pill, which can maintain the body for 7 days without eating.

This observance is more than ten days.

One afternoon fifteen days later, when Zhou Yang was so bored that he took out the ancient books on refining tools given by the old patriarch to study the technique of refining tools, there was a sudden cry of horror from the miners in the cave, which was full of the sound of miners knocking and digging.

"Ah! There are monsters, monsters kill! "

"Run, please go and ask immortal master to kill the demons!"

The miners exclaimed, crying for their parents to throw away their mining hoes and other tools. They only hated that their parents had two legs less and ran to the outside of the mine.

But no one found that the "immortal master" in their mouth had already appeared in the mine.

When Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan heard the miners' screams, they immediately put away their breath collection and took action.

Instead of squeezing the narrow tunnel with the miners, they directly performed "earth hiding" to bypass the miners and go straight to the scene.

After a while, they rushed to the murder scene of [golden rat] and saw the ferocious monster again.

"Take blood as the guide, and the blood spirit will show itself!"

As soon as he saw the figure of [golden rat], old Zhou Quan bit the tip of his tongue, opened his mouth and sprayed a mouthful of blood essence directly to display the "blood spirit mark" spell.

There was a flash of blood. Before [golden eating mouse] reacted, a blood shining mark suddenly appeared on his body.

The "blood spirit mark" spell is performed by the cultivation of old man Zhou Quan's nine layers of Qi. This mark can last for at least one day on the [golden rat]. As long as the mark exists for a moment and the distance between the two sides is no more than a thousand miles, old Man Zhou Quan can find the location of the [golden rat] through subtle induction.

The golden rat obviously doesn't know what this seemingly insignificant blood light mark represents.

It was really startled when the blood light touched the body. It thought that the human who beat himself seriously last time had cast some magic tricks on himself.

When he found that the blood light mark did not hurt him, his hair relaxed, and a touch of humanized irony flashed in his scarlet rat eyes, showing his teeth to Zhou Yang.

Squeak!

It sent out a sharp rat cry in its mouth. Its figure moved and instantly got into the earth and disappeared in the sight of Zhou Yang.

"What a cunning beast. You've learned to be smart, but you're still young if you want to play tricks in front of me!"

Just as Zhou Yang was ready to sacrifice the [silver Gang shield] magic weapon and concentrate on preventing the [golden rat] raid, old Zhou Quan seemed to feel something and drank in a deep voice to expose the animal's whereabouts.

It turned out that [golden rat] had been afraid of the old man's "pointing to the ground into steel" spell since he suffered a loss last time. He didn't want to fight head-on with the two people, but played the trick of "beating the East with the west".

It seems to hide its body and prepare to attack them. In fact, it quietly fled to the exit of the mine and chased the escaped miners.

"Let's go to the exit of the mine." The old man whispered and moved. He put away his golden melon hammer and rushed to the exit of the mine.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang, who knew later, hurriedly followed up.

At the exit of the mine, the miners who had just escaped from a death had no time to rejoice. They saw a wolf dog big black mouse break out of the ground and bite the nearest few people.

"Run!"

The sudden change stunned many miners, and then I don't know who shouted. Everyone immediately ran away in all directions like a frightened sparrow.

Only these two legged mortals can run better than four legged monsters.

A huge dark shadow on the ground rushed left and right and stabbed. The escaped miners screamed like wheat and fell down in pieces. In a short period of more than a dozen breath, dozens of miners fell nearly half.

If it goes on like this, in less than a minute at most, all the dozens of miners will die under the claws of the golden rat.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

When [golden rat] jumped onto the ground and killed, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan, who found something wrong, finally rushed to the ground.

Point to steel!

Point to steel!

They looked at the dark shadow chasing the miners all over the ground and used the spell of "pointing to the ground into steel" to block the earth.

The difference is that the old man Zhou Quan released his learned spells, while Zhou Yang used the second-order talisman given to him by the old man Zhou Quan.

This second-order talisman sealed with the spell "pointing to the ground to become steel" was painted by Zhou Dan, the three elders of the "light" generation of the Zhou family and the second-order top-grade talisman. It was specially asked from the fifth younger brother after old Zhou Quan returned to the family last time.

At this time, the two "pointing to the ground into steel" spells are used together. In an instant, they make refined steel from the petrification of the earth within hundreds of square meters around the [golden rat], making its hiding technique useless.

Then, without waiting for it to react from the shock, old man Zhou Quan's golden melon sledgehammer had broken the air and hit his head.

"ChiYan sword, go!"

Zhou Yang whispered and didn't look at it. He resolutely sacrificed the second-order middle-grade flying sword "ChiYan sword" given to him by his father on his 15th birthday.

With a flash of fire, Zhou Yang's "ChiYan sword" was first cut to the [golden rat] who wanted to escape.

However, as old man Zhou Quan said at the beginning, [golden rat] has tough fur and can't be broken unless it is a second-order top-grade magic weapon.

The second-class "ChiYan sword" was cut on him, only a wisp of mouse hair was cut off slightly, leaving a shallow white mark on him, which could not hurt his real body at all.

However, Zhou Yang was not depressed because his sword was just trying to contain the golden rat and create opportunities for the golden melon sledgehammer of old Zhou Quan.

Sure enough, being stopped by his sword, the [golden eating mouse] inevitably slowed down a little. It was this time that the golden melon hammer that caught up with him hit it heavily on its back.

Squeak——

With the heavy hammer, the [golden rat] immediately screamed and fell to the ground, spewing blood out, even with some bloody internal fragments.

The word "regretful place" in the "regretful place hammer" magic instrument of old Zhou Quan is not for nothing. Once hit by this magic instrument, it will stimulate the "regretful place" magic power in the magic instrument, form a powerful shock force and cause secondary damage to the enemy.

[golden eating rat] because of the growth of swallowing metal, its fur and bones are very tough and hard. It is difficult to hurt it with ordinary magic tools.

However, no matter how strong its physical defense is, the internal organs can not be as hard as metal. After the shock force excited by the "regrettable" magic power fell on it, it immediately caused great damage to its internal organs and formed serious internal injury.

This is the second time it has fallen under the same move.

"Awesome, Grandpa three is really old and strong, old and strong, and ginger is still old and spicy!"

Zhou Yang took back his flying sword and praised the old man.

Of course, he is not completely flattering. The strength of the old man is much better than him. After all, even regardless of the differences in magic tools, their cultivation skills are three layers apart, one is the sixth layer in the middle of Qi practice, and the other is the ninth layer in the later stage of Qi practice.

Even if he knew that his words were boastful and exaggerated, old man Zhou Quan couldn't help feeling proud. He couldn't help stroking his beard and said with a smile:

"Hehe, Xiaojiu, you flatter me. I just rely on my age. You have some years. After another ten or eight years, Xiaojiu's cultivation will be improved. Then I'll clean up these evil animals. It must be easy to catch them."

"Let me borrow grandpa San's auspicious words. My nephew and grandson will strive to practice with Grandpa San as the goal."

Zhou Yang smiled and accepted the old man's praise impolitely.

The two of them boast to each other here, and no one cares about the seriously injured [golden rat].

Until [golden rat] vomited blood all the way, dragged his seriously injured body out of the influence range of the "pointing to the ground into steel" spell, fled into the ground and disappeared, the two people looked at each other and smiled, like a fox who stole a chicken, with flowers on his face.

In the vast sand sea, two Shatuo beasts are running hard under the urging of the knight on their backs.

In the desert more than ten miles in front of the Shatuo beast, a thin rising line is spreading towards the depths of the desert at a speed faster than the galloping horse.

The thin line rises and falls, skews East and West, and does not completely go in a straight line. However, no matter how it turns, the two Shatuo beasts chasing after it can always change their direction and catch up with it in time.

Even when the thin line stopped extending, the knights on the backs of the two Shatuo beasts would timely rein in their mounts, stop and wait until the thin line appeared again and spread forward, and then they would start to keep up again.

The sun is very sunny, and the back of the Shatuo beast is very bumpy. For Zhou Yang, who rode a camel beast in the desert for the first time, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Thanks to the strong physique of the immortal, he hasn't been thrown up on the spot because he hasn't had a grain of rice in the past ten days. However, the bumpy feeling that all his internal organs have to shift has almost made him shout several times.

Looking at the front, the same is riding a camel beast all the way, but old man Zhou Quan stands on his hunchback like nothing, as if he can't feel any bumps at all.

How can Zhou Yang, a 20-year-old young man, shout so well when an old man of more than 100 years old can be so calm?

He had no choice but to clench his teeth and endure hard all the way. He hated the escaped golden rat in his heart.

If it was not for the successful completion of the "rat homing" plan, why should he suffer? The severely injured [golden rat] was slaughtered as early as in the refined iron vein.

After chasing for more than half a day, after hundreds of miles, Zhou Yang, who was already white on his hump, finally saw the old Zhou Quan leading the way and stopped the Shatuo beast.

"Hoo! Have you finally arrived? "

He reined in his horse with both hands, jumped down from his hunchback, sat down on the sand in a sweat, and gasped for breath. He was out of breath, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Jiu, you can't do it sometimes. I thought you could do anything!"

Old man Zhou Quan walked to him with ease. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and his face was full of ridicule.

"Hoo Hoo! I'm already like this. Don't tease me, Grandpa three. Let me have a good rest first! "

Zhou Yang turned his white eyes and, in the face of the old man's joke, just smiled bitterly and waved his hands again and again. He didn't want to move again.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "well, don't tease your boy. The beast must have arrived. I'll go and check the situation first. You can rest here and wait for me."

"Those three grandfathers should be more careful."

Zhou Yang nodded and had no objection to the old man's practice of acting alone.

[golden rat] has been seriously injured by them, and after hundreds of miles of long-distance travel, it is impossible to pose a threat to the old man Zhou Quan in good condition. He really doesn't have to worry about the safety of the old man Zhou Quan.

He is now afraid that his guess and that of the old man Zhou Quan are wrong, or that the discovered vein has little mining value, which would be too shocking.

In the following time, Zhou Yang was worried about gain and loss.

After a while, I hope to find a valuable ore vein this time, so that the family and myself can make a fortune.

After a while, he was afraid that he would waste his energy and kill dozens of mortal miners.

In this mood of worrying about gain and loss, he counted the time almost second by second. Several times, he could not help but follow him to find the old man Zhou Quan who took the first step.

So after waiting for nearly half an hour, old man Zhou Quan finally came back in his eager hope.

"How's it going? Grandpa three, how was your investigation? Have you found any trace of the vein? "

He couldn't wait to meet the old man, looked forward to the old man and asked about the situation.

"Yes, we're lucky. There's a red flame iron vein ahead!"

The old man Zhou Quan didn't sell off and directly told his discovery.

"Great!"

Zhou Yang was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Like refined iron, red flame iron is also a first-order spiritual gold. However, red flame iron is suitable for refining fire attribute magic tools. Many second-order fire attribute magic tools will add red flame iron as auxiliary materials. Therefore, in terms of value, red flame iron is even higher than refined iron by one or two points.

The refined iron ore in Qingping mountain of Zhou family can bring the net profit of 500 lower grade Lingshi every year. As long as the red flame iron vein is normally put into mining, the profit will certainly not be lower than this number. At that time, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan, as discoverers, will only get dividends every year, but also get dozens of lower grade Lingshi per person.

Tens of dollars a year, hundreds of dollars a decade, year after year, it is also a huge amount.

Now that he is about to turn white, how can Zhou Yang not be excited?

"Xiao Jiu, don't be so happy. I haven't finished yet!"

Old man Zhou Quan looked at Zhou Yang, who was so happy that he was about to jump up, opened his mouth and whispered, "it's true that he found the red flame iron vein, but in this vein, in addition to the [golden rat], there are also a large number of poisonous fire scorpion monsters, at least hundreds. There are dozens of second-order poisonous fire scorpions. It's not sure whether there is a more powerful [poisonous fire Scorpion King]!"

what?

Zhou Yang's face changed and he was surprised by the news the old man said.

Poisonous fire scorpion is also a common desert monster in the boundless sand sea. This monster has both first-order and second-order. The first-order poisonous fire scorpion only contains fire poison in the scorpion needle. As long as you are careful not to be stabbed, the congenital friars can easily kill it.

However, as long as the poisonous fire scorpion is promoted to the second level, it can immediately obtain the "poisonous fire bullet" spell, which can spit fire bullets at the mouth and attack the enemy from a long distance. If it works hard, it can also shoot the scorpion needle on the tail at the enemy. Its power is equivalent to the second-level flying needle spell, and it contains powerful fire poison.

In the later stage of Qi practice, the following friars were shot by this scorpion needle. Unless they take a special second-order detoxification elixir immediately, they will burn themselves in poisonous fire in less than a quarter of an hour and die without a whole body.

This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that once the population of poisonous fire scorpion reaches hundreds or thousands, it will have a certain chance to evolve a third-order [poisonous fire Scorpion King] equivalent to friars in the foundation period.

[poisonous fire Scorpion King] it belongs to the third-order inferior monster, but if it is assisted by scorpions, it is much more difficult than many third-order middle-class monsters. Even if the friars are right in the later stage of foundation building, they dare not say they can win steadily.

"Yes, poisonous fire scorpions like heat. They also have the habit of swallowing fire spiritual minerals to strengthen themselves. It's not strange that red flame iron is used as fire spiritual gold to attract them to reproduce and settle here."

Zhou Yang thought of the records of poisonous fire scorpions, which he had read in the book "illustration of desert monsters", and immediately believed what Zhou Quan said.

However, when he thought of these things, he suddenly thought of a more important thing. He couldn't help staring at Old Man Zhou Quan and exclaimed:

"Grandpa three, the [poisonous fire Scorpion King] is a third-order monster. The third-order monster is not comparable to the first-order and second-order monsters. When the monster reaches the third-order, it must occupy the spirit vein like our immortals to continue to progress. If there is the [poisonous fire Scorpion King], doesn't it mean that there is a natural third-order spirit vein in addition to the red flame iron vein?"

"Yes, you are sharp. I didn't think of it until I found the poisonous fire scorpions."

The old man nodded admiringly and appreciated Zhou Yang's acuteness.

During the Qi training period, friars are scared when they hear the name of "poisonous fire Scorpion King". How can they think about this.

Even when he saw the dark poisonous fire scorpions, he was very frightened. He didn't expect this at all.

Or later, after retreating to a safe area and calming down, I thought of this just because of my professional reason of animal trainer.

Zhou Yang didn't care about the old man's praise at all. He had heard similar praise many times over the years and had immunity for a long time.

He was more concerned about where they should go next, so he couldn't help looking at the old man and asked, "what are the three grandpa's plans next? Should we go back directly and ask the old clan leader to come and find out the situation in person, or should we risk finding out the situation and then return to the family to report the situation to the old clan leader? "
