Cultivation Begins From The Desert

In the vast sea of ​​sand, two Shatuo beasts were running wildly under the urging of the knights on their backs.

And in the desert a dozen miles away in front of the Shatuo beast, a thin raised line was rapidly spreading towards the depths of the desert at a speed faster than a galloping horse.

The thin line was ups and downs, slanted from east to west, and did not go completely straight. However, no matter how it turned, the two Shatuo beasts chasing behind could always change direction in time to catch up with it.

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

The sun was shining, and the back of the Shatuo beast was bumpy. For Zhou Yang, who was riding a camel beast in the desert for the first time, this feeling was really uncomfortable.

Thanks to the immortal cultivator's strong physique, he hasn't gotten a grain of rice in the past ten days, so he didn't spit it out on the spot, but that kind of bumpy feeling that his internal organs are going to move, he almost made him a few times. I couldn't help crying out.

Looking at the front, he was also riding a camel beast and galloping all the way, but the old man Zhou Quan stood firmly on the hunchback as if he was nothing, as if he could not feel any bumps at all.

A hundred-year-old old man can be so peaceful, how could a twenty-year-old junior in Zhou Yang be so embarrassed to shout?

There was no way, he could only grit his teeth and endure hard all the way, and he already hated the escaped [Golden Eating Rat] in his heart.

If it wasn't for the successful completion of the plan of "homing the rat", why would he have to suffer like this? The seriously injured [Golden Eating Rat] had been slaughtered at the concentrated iron ore vein.

After chasing him all the way for most of the day, and after chasing hundreds of miles, Zhou Yang, who had already turned pale from the bumps on his hunchback, finally saw the old man Zhou Quan who was leading the way in front of him restraining the Shatuo beast and stopped.

"Huh! Has it finally arrived?"

He tied the reins with both hands to restrain the mount, and jumped down from the hunchback in exhaustion. Not to mention how embarrassing it was.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Jiu, you can't do it sometimes, this old man thought you could do anything!"

The old man Zhou Quan walked up to him with ease, looking at his embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help laughing, his face full of teasing.

"Huhu! I'm already like this, third grandpa, please stop making fun of me, let me take a good rest first!"

Zhou Yang rolled his eyes. Facing the old man's jokes, he just waved his hand with a wry smile, not wanting to move again.

When the old man saw this, the smile on his face narrowed, and he said sternly: "Okay, let's not tease you, kid, that beast is probably going somewhere, the old man goes over to check the situation first, you can rest here and wait for the old man."

"The third grandfather should be more careful."

Zhou Yang nodded, and did not object to the old man's practice of acting alone.

[Golden Rat] has been severely injured by them, and has traveled hundreds of miles for a long time. Now it is impossible to pose a threat to Elder Zhou Quan who is in good condition. He really doesn't need to worry about the safety of Elder Zhou Quan.

Right now, he is only afraid that his guess and the old man Zhou Quan are wrong, or that the ore veins he discovered have no mining value, which would be too shocking.

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

For a while, I hope that this time I can discover a mineral vein of great value, which will make both my family and myself a fortune.

After a while, he was afraid that this time, he would waste his energy and cause dozens of mortal miners to die.

In this mood of worrying about gains and losses, he almost counted the time passing second by second, and several times he almost couldn't help but follow to find the elderly Zhou Quan who was one step ahead.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the old man Zhou Quan finally came back with his longing.

"How is it? How is your investigation, third grandpa? Have you found any traces of mineral veins?"

He couldn't wait to meet the old man, looking at the old man with anticipation and asking about the situation.

"I found it, we are lucky, there is a red flame iron vein in front of it!"

The old man Zhou Quan didn't sell anything, and directly stated his findings.

"Very good!"

Zhou Yang clapped his palms in excitement, almost jumping up in excitement.

Like fine iron, red flame iron is also a first-order spiritual gold, but red flame iron is suitable for refining fire attribute magic weapons. Many second-order fire attribute magic weapons will add red flame iron as auxiliary materials, so in terms of value , Scarlet flame iron is one or two points higher than refined iron.

The concentrated iron ore of Qingping Mountain in Zhoujia can bring a net profit of 500 low-grade spirit stones every year. As long as the red flame iron ore is mined normally, the profit will definitely not be lower than this number. At that time, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan will be the discoverers. Just by taking dividends every year, each person can get dozens of low-grade spirit stones.

Dozens of dollars a year, hundreds of dollars in ten years, year after year, that's a huge amount.

Now that he is about to lose such a large sum of spiritual stones, how could Zhou Yang not be excited?

"Xiao Jiu, don't be in a hurry to be happy, the old man hasn't finished talking yet!"

The old man Zhou Quan looked at Zhou Yang, who was about to jump for joy, opened his mouth, and said in a low voice, "It's true that the red flame iron ore vein was discovered, but in this vein, in addition to the [Golden Eating Rat], there are other There are a large number of poisonous fire scorpion monsters living, there are at least hundreds of them, and there are dozens of second-order poisonous fire scorpions, and I am not sure if there is a more powerful [Poison Fire Scorpion King]!"

What?

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

The poisonous fire scorpion is also a common desert monster in the boundless sand sea. There are both first- and second-order monsters. The first-order poisonous fire scorpion only contains fire poison in the scorpion needle. Can easily kill it.

However, as long as the poisonous fire scorpion is promoted to the second level, he can immediately obtain the "poison fire bomb" spell, which can shoot fire bombs to attack the enemy at a long distance. Acupuncture, and contains powerful fire poison.

In the late stage of Qi training, the following cultivators were shot by this kind of scorpion needle. Unless they took the special second-order antidote immediately, they would burn their bodies in poisonous fire within a quarter of an hour, and die without a whole corpse.

This is not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that once the population of the poisonous fire scorpion reaches the level of hundreds or thousands, there will be a certain chance to evolve the third-order [Poisonous Fire Scorpion] equivalent to the foundation-building cultivator. King】.

[Poisonous Fire Scorpion King] belongs to the third-order low-grade monsters, but if there is a scorpion group to assist, it is much more difficult to deal with than many third-order middle-grade monsters. Can win.

"Yes, poisonous fire scorpions are fond of heat, and they also have the habit of swallowing fire-type spirit ore to strengthen themselves. As fire-type spirit metal, it's not strange to attract them to multiply and settle here."

Zhou Yang remembered the records of the poisonous fire scorpion that he had read in the book "Desert Monster Beast Illustration", and immediately believed the words of the old man Zhou Quan.

However, when he thought of this, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a more important matter. He couldn't help but stare at the old man Zhou Quan and exclaimed:

"Third grandpa, [Poison Fire Scorpion King] is a third-order monster, and a third-order monster is not comparable to a first- and second-order monster. When a monster reaches the third-order, it must occupy the spiritual veins like our immortal cultivators. Progress, if there is a [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King] here, doesn’t it mean that in addition to the red flame iron ore vein, there is a natural third-order spiritual vein in the ground?”

"That's right, you are sharp. This old man didn't think of this for a long time after he discovered the Poisonous Fire Scorpions."

The old man nodded admiringly, admiring Zhou Yang's sharpness.

Generally, when cultivators in the Qi training period heard the name of [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King], they were all in awe, how could they even think about it.

Even the ninth-level qi cultivator who had lived for over a hundred years was quite frightened when he first saw the black swarm of poisonous fire scorpions, and he didn't expect this at all.

After retreating to a safe area to calm down, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com only thought of this because of his occupation as an animal trainer.

Zhou Yang doesn't care about the old man's praise at all. He has heard similar praise many times over the years, and he has long been immune.

What he was more concerned about was where the two of them should go next, so he couldn't help looking at the old man and asked, "What's the third grandfather's plan next? Go back directly and ask the old patriarch to come over and find out the situation in person. Or do we take the risk to find out the situation, and then return to the family to report the situation to the old patriarch?"

"What are your thoughts? This old man wants to hear what your thoughts are." The old man Zhou Quan didn't answer the question, but he used this to test Zhou Yang.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang frowned and lowered his head to think.

After thinking about this quietly for about half a quarter of an hour, he raised his head sharply, looked at the old man with bright eyes and said, "If the third grandfather asks my grand-nephew what I think, it is to ignore whether there is a [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King] ], let's kill that big mouse first, we can't let the miners in my Zhou family die in vain, and we can't let us wait for half a month without getting any real gains."

In the end, he still felt ashamed of those miners who died in vain. He wanted to do something for those people, even if he couldn't save them, at least he had to avenge them.

Fortunately, this time, Zhou Quan did not object to his proposal.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's take the beast's lair and tear it apart to comfort the spirits of the dead miners!" The old man nodded lightly and agreed with Zhou Yang's proposal.

So, the two of them even found a safe place to shelter from the wind and settled the two Shatuo beasts, and then the old man Zhou Quan sensed the specific location of the "Blood Spirit Mark", and went straight to the escaped [Golden Rat] nest to kill it. .
