Cultivation Begins From The Desert

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

Looking at Zhou Bao's performance in his eyes, he only thought that the other party was introverted and didn't care too much.

After all, he doesn't have much friendship with Zhou Bao, and taking care of each other in the future is also on the face of the third grandfather, Zhou Quan, and the situation between the two is destined to not be too much.

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

In fact, in the entire Zhou family's "Yuan" generation, Zhou Yang is also an outlier.

Because of his past life memories, he has been precocious since he was a child. He doesn't like to play with people of his age, but prefers to hide in a secluded place and cultivate quietly.

In addition to his good spiritual aptitude, he was able to achieve this level of cultivation at such a young age, and his contribution to this aspect also accounted for a large proportion.

Children are playful and active, so how can they be quiet enough to meditate at a young age? It is not a person like Zhou Yang who has memories of his past life, and only those people who are naturally cold and don’t know what fun is, can maintain a high level in childhood. Strength practice.

And this kind of maverick behavior naturally made Zhou Yang's relationship with his peers become very weak, and he was even marginalized and isolated by those peers.

When those peers grow up, understand the truth and apologize to him, this sense of alienation has already formed. Even if he doesn't care, those peers will be ashamed and reluctant to stay in front of him. , the relationship will not improve much.

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

So far, those of his peers can only look up at him, a genius clan brother (brother) who is far away from them because of his cultivation, and has completely lost the courage to talk to him on an equal footing.

In any case, the arrival of Zhou Bao, the clan brother, did help Zhou Yang a little.

Although this clan brother is not very good, he is also a fourth-level qi immortal cultivator. With him here, Zhou Yang can safely hand over ten mu of spiritual fields and some mine chores in Qingping Mountain. The other party took care of it, An Xin and the old man Zhou Quan went to the mine to squat and wait for the arrival of the [Golden Rat] monster.

At this time, the cruelty of the immortal world was revealed.

Even if he knew that the coming of the [Golden Rat] would definitely cause the death of the miners in the mine, at the insistence of the old man Zhou Quan, Zhou Yang's proposal to temporarily stop work and withdraw from the mine was directly rejected by the old man. Ruthlessly rejected.

The old man not only ruthlessly rejected his proposal, but also gave him an education class sternly.

"Xiao Jiu, you must remember that monks of my generation are most afraid of being soft-hearted. Whether it is today's mediocre mortal miners or family monks like this old man, as long as we abandon us, we can exchange for the strength of the family and allow the family to continue to inherit. Go down, then you should abandon us without hesitation!"

"A gecko's broken tail can be reborn. As long as the family can pass it on, our broken tails will grow back on the next generation sooner or later!"

"You are the hope of our Zhou family. If you can successfully build the foundation in the future, the position of the Zhou family's patriarch will be passed on to you. If you are merciful at that time and cause disaster, it will not only be you alone, but the entire family. Zhou Family!"

The old man, who usually had a kind and amiable face, said these words, but his face was indescribably cold, and he was completely different.

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

As a child of the Xiuxian family, everything must be based on the family's interests, and it must not cause huge losses to the family because of personal kindness.

To be honest, he doesn't fully agree with this theory that the family's interests are supreme, but he also knows that this is the normal way of survival for all immortal-cultivating families in this world.

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

Monster beasts are not beasts, beasts only act on their instincts, and in addition to possessing the power of demonic energy, monsters also have spiritual intelligence.

If they ordered the miners in the mine to withdraw and close the mine, the [Golden Rat] monster would definitely realize that something was wrong and would never reappear after finding this situation.

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

Therefore, Zhou Yang didn't say anything more in the end, he could only acquiesce to what the old man Zhou Quan did.

The miners are definitely not allowed to know about the use of miners as human bait, so after making the decision, both Zhou Yang used the breath-holding technique to restrain their breath, and quietly hid in an unmanned branch in the mine to wait. up.

The waiting was torturous, because no one knew when the [Golden Rat] would come, and neither Zhou Yang nor Zhou Quan dared to make any noise, let alone cultivating.

In order to make the squatting go smoothly this time, the old man Zhou Quan even prepared two bottles of the second-order spiritual elixir [Bigu Dan] in advance. During the Qi training period, the monks took one elixir, which could maintain the body for 7 days without having to eat any more.

This compliance is ten days.

One afternoon fifteen days later, when Zhou Yang was too bored, he took out the artifact refining book given by the old patriarch to study the art of refining the artifact. In the mine, which was originally full of miners banging and digging, a sound suddenly sounded. The miners screamed in horror.

"Ah! There are monsters, and the monsters killed people!"

"Run, go and ask the Immortal Master to exterminate the demon!"

The miners exclaimed, and the crying father and mother threw away the mining hoes and other tools in their hands. They only hated that their father and mother had lost two legs and ran desperately to the outside of the mine.

But no one found out that the "Master Immortal" they called had already appeared in the mine.

As soon as Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan heard the exclamations of the miners, they immediately put away the breath-holding technique and began to act.

Instead of going with the miners to squeeze the narrow tunnel, they directly used the "earth escape technique" to bypass the miners and go straight to the scene of the incident.

After a while, the two rushed to the murder scene of the [Golden Eating Rat] and saw this vicious monster again.

"Take the blood as a guide, the blood spirit manifests, go!"

As soon as he saw the figure of the [Golden Eating Rat], the old man Zhou Quan bit his tongue and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood essence to perform the "Blood Spirit Mark" spell.

I saw a flash of blood, and before [Golden Rat] could react, a **** mark suddenly appeared on his body.

With Zhou Quan's ninth-level Qi practice, he used the "Blood Spirit Mark" spell. This mark could last on the [Golden Rat] for at least a day, and as long as the mark existed for a moment, as long as the distance between the two sides did not exceed a thousand miles, Zhou Quan would The old man can find the location of the [Golden Rat] at any time through the induction in the dark.

And [Golden Rat] obviously doesn't know what this seemingly inconspicuous **** mark represents.

When it was drenched in blood, it was really startled, thinking that the human who beat him badly last time had performed some kind of sorcery on him.

When he found that the **** mark was on his back and didn't hurt him in the slightest, his hair was swept away, and a humanistic sarcasm flashed in the scarlet mouse's eyes, and he grinned at Zhou Yang and the two.

Squeak!

There was a sharp rat call from its mouth, and the figure plunged into the ground in an instant, disappearing from the sight of Zhou Yang and the two of them.

"What a cunning beast, you have learned to be smart, but you are still a little more tender if you want to play around in front of this old man!"

Just as Zhou Yang was ready to sacrifice the [Silver Gang Shield] magic weapon, and was concentrating on guarding against the attack of the [Golden Eating Rat], the old man Zhou Quan seemed to sense something and revealed the whereabouts of the beast with a low voice.

It turns out that [Golden Rat] has been afraid of the old man's "pointing to the ground into steel" after the last time he suffered a loss. trick.

It seemed to be hiding and preparing to sneak attack on the two of them, but in fact it quietly escaped to the exit of the mine, chasing and killing the miners who escaped.

"Let's go, let's go to the exit of the mine." The old man shouted lowly, moved his body, put away his gourd and sledgehammer, and rushed towards the exit of the mine.

Zhou Yang, who knew it later, saw this, and quickly followed after him.

At the exit of the mine, the miners who had just escaped had no time to rejoice when they saw a black mouse the size of a wolf dog burrowing out of the ground, and it opened its mouth and bit the nearest people.

"Run!"

The sudden change stunned many miners, and then someone shouted loudly, and everyone suddenly fled wildly in all directions like a frightened sparrow.

How could these two-legged mortals outrun four-legged monsters?

I saw a huge black shadow on the ground rushing to the left and right, and the miners who fled screamed like wheat and collapsed in pieces. In just ten breaths, dozens of miners fell. nearly half.

If it goes on like this, in less than a minute at most, these dozens of miners will all die under the claws of the 【Golden Rat】.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

When the [Golden Rat] jumped to the ground and started killing, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan, who found something wrong, finally arrived on the ground.

Refers to the ground into steel!

Refers to the ground into steel!

The two looked at the shadow that was chasing the miners all over the ground, and invariably used the "pointing to the ground into steel" spell to block the ground.

The difference is that the old man Zhou Quan released the spells he had learned, while Zhou Yang used the second-order talisman that the old man Zhou Quan gave him.

This second-order talisman with the spell of "fingering the ground into steel" was drawn by the third elder of the Zhou family with the character "light", and the second-order high-grade talisman maker Zhou Dan personally painted it. It was specially asked for this fifth brother.

At this time, the two "pointing to the ground into steel" spells were used together, instantly turning the soil and rocks within hundreds of square meters around [Golden Rat] into refined steel, making its escape from the ground useless.

Then, before it could react from this sudden change, the old man Zhou Quan's gourd sledgehammer had already smashed into its head.

"Red Flame Sword, go!"

Zhou Yang let out a low sigh without looking at it, and decisively sacrificed the second-tier mid-grade flying sword "Red Flame Sword" that his father gave him on his fifteenth birthday.

I saw a flash of fire, and the "Scarlet Flame Sword" that Zhou Yang sacrificed, on the contrary, slashed the body of the [Golden Eating Mouse] who wanted to escape.

However, just like the old man Zhou Quan said at the beginning, the [Golden Rat] fur is tough and unbreakable unless it is a second-tier high-grade magic weapon.

The "Scarlet Flame Sword" of the second-tier middle grade slashed on it, but it only slightly cut off a wisp of mouse hair, leaving a shallow white mark on it, which could not hurt its real body at all.

However, Zhou Yang was not discouraged by this, because with this sword, he just wanted to contain the [Golden Rat] and create a chance for the old man Zhou Quan's gourd sledgehammer.

Sure enough, after being stopped by his sword, the [Golden Rat] inevitably slowed down a bit, and it was this one blow that caused the gourd sledgehammer that was chasing after him to smash heavily on its back.

squeak—

With a heavy hammer, the [Golden Eating Rat] fell to the ground with a scream, spitting out blood, even with some **** viscera fragments.

The word "sorry" in the old man Zhou Quan's "Sorry Hammer" instrument is not for nothing. Once hit by this instrument, it will activate the magical power of "sorry" in the instrument, forming a wave. The powerful shock force causes secondary damage to the enemy.

[Golden Rat] Because of the growth of devoured metal, UU reading www.uukanshu.com The fur and bones are very tough and hard, and it is difficult to hurt it with ordinary magic tools.

But no matter how strong its body defense is, its internal organs cannot always be as hard as metal. After the shock force inspired by the "unfortunate" magical power fell on it, it instantly caused great damage to its internal organs, forming a Serious internal injury.

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

"It's amazing, the third grandpa is really old and strong, old and stronger, Jiang is still old and hot!"

Zhou Yang took back the flying sword and flattered the old man with admiration on his face.

Of course, he is not completely flattering. The strength of the old man is indeed much stronger than him. After all, even if the difference in magic tools is not considered, the two people's cultivations are still three layers apart. One is the sixth layer in the middle stage of Qi training. , one is the ninth floor in the late stage of Qi training.

And to be able to get such praise from him, the first person in the younger generation of the Zhou family, even if he knew that his words were boasting and exaggerating, the old man Zhou Quan couldn't help but feel proud for a while, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and said with a smile:

"Hehehe, Xiaojiu, you've won the prize. This old man is just relying on your age to grow you a few years old. After another ten or eight years, Xiaojiu's cultivation base will improve, and then you will clean up these evil beasts. It must be within reach.”

"Then I'll borrow the third grandpa's auspicious words. The grand-nephew will definitely cultivate with the third grandpa as the goal."

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and accepted the old man's compliment unceremoniously.

The two of them are touting each other here, and no one cares about the seriously injured [Golden Rat].

Until [Golden Rat] vomited blood all the way, dragged his severely injured body and ran out of the influence range of the "Pointing to the Ground into Steel" spell, and after escaping into the ground and disappearing, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, like a fox who stole a chicken, with a smile on their faces. Flowers out.
