"small stone..."

This was Xiao Jin’s struggling cry.

Huang Chuyang was in a weak state, wandering between awakening and coma. Even his last breath of life was just hanging in the air, and it seemed that he might not be able to get up at any time.

But at this moment, streams of rich original spiritual energy rushed into his body unconsciously. Nourished by these spiritual energy, the broken blood vessels were quickly repaired, and even the dry and flat muscles gradually became fuller, and every cell

All are rejuvenated.

Huang Chuyang just felt indescribably comfortable, and he really wanted to continue like this.

But at this moment, Xiao Jin's shouting forced Huang Chuyang to open his eyes and wake up from that strange state.

"Xiao Shi, what's wrong with Xiao Shi?"

Huang Chuyang didn't hesitate at all and quickly rushed towards the deep pit next to Xiao Jin.

He saw the scene he least expected to see.

Xiaoshi used his remaining spiritual power to control the stone body and flew towards the last piece of flesh that had been shattered by the spirit-devouring leech. As he approached the piece of flesh, the stone body emitted infinite light from the inside out.

Immediately, there was a shocking loud noise, and the walls of the space were shattered. An endless cold wind blew out of the void, causing the small stones and the minced meat to turn into nothingness faster. The last few remaining stones were also sucked in.

The endless void.

After everyone came back to their senses and stabilized their bodies, the void that had just exploded in front of them had closed, and in front of them, there were no more pebbles or soul-eating leeches, just no residue left.

They perished together.

"No, Xiaoshi..." These were the only three words Huang Chuyang had time to say.

However, it was already too late.

Xiaoshi, the brother who grew up together and supported each other all the way, is gone.

----------------------------------------

No. 1 mining area, inside a stone house.

Huang Chuyang, Sima Qiucong and Zhao Dong are all here.

Today was the second day after they killed the soul-eating leeches. Although they won in the end, the loss was too heavy to accept. Huang Chuyang still couldn't get over the painful loss of Xiao Shi.

Sima Qiucong and Zhao Dong came today. In addition to comforting Huang Chuyang, they also wanted to discuss something with him.

That is to hire Huang Chuyang to be the honorary elder of their two families. At the same time, he can help protect the mining area when he is in the North District.

There is no doubt about Huang Chuyang's strength. Perhaps in the current ancient martial arts world, only the princes of the five major families have the ability to defeat him.

After the soul-eating leech incident, the two men reconciled as before. After all, they are still partners and their business must continue.

As for hiring Huang Chuyang now, they have given it careful consideration.

The current North District is not as calm as before. Under this calm water, there are already undercurrents, and those underwater monsters have long been unable to restrain themselves and are ready to move.

Just a few days ago, a ship of rough stones from their Tianci Stone Factory was on its way back to the East District. It was intercepted by underwater monsters before it left the deep area. All the warriors and immortal cultivators on the ship were killed, and no one was left alive.

.

Even if there were conflicts with monsters in the past, there would occasionally be casualties, but not all of them would be wiped out, so they boldly guessed that a storm was coming.

After Huang Chuyang heard them explain their intention, he neither agreed nor refused directly.

At this time, Zhao Dong said: "Little friend Huang, I have offended you a lot before. This is the thousand middle-grade spiritual stones that my Zhao family promised to compensate you." After saying that, he took out a bag, which was obviously a drum.

The spirit stone of the drum.

Originally, he promised to compensate 500 middle-grade spiritual stones for losing, but after seeing Huang Chuyang's strength, he felt that 500 stones were too few, and this was a thousand stones.

Huang Chuyang just wanted to make Zhao Dong sick at first. In addition, when he dealt with the soul-eating leeches before, he went all out, and the Zhao family also lost many immortal cultivators.

Pushing the bag of spiritual stones, Huang Chuyang said: "Palace Master Zhao, those words you said before were just jokes and should not be taken seriously. Please take them back."

Seeing that Huang Chuyang didn't seem to be pretentious, Zhao Dong also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, for such a powerful person, he didn't want to be remembered as hated.

Huang Chuyang spoke again: "Since you can mine rough stones deep in the northern area, you won't have nothing to rely on, right?"

Zhao Dong looked at Sima Qiucong. He and Sima Qiucong had considered this issue before. Since he wanted to hire Huang Chuyang, he would definitely ask some questions about the mining area. As long as family privacy was not involved, he would be told all the results of their discussion.

"Hall Master Sima, you should tell Xiaoyou Huang."

Sima Qiucong knew that regardless of the situation here, the relationship between the family head's daughter Sima Beina and Huang Chuyang was extraordinary, so she no longer hesitated and told Huang Chuyang all the secrets related to the mining area.

After listening to Sima Qiucong's words, Huang Chuyang finally knew that the reason why their two families were able to reach the depths of the Northern District was because the Supreme Leader of their two families, who was said to be a peak foundation-building expert, signed a peace with the Beast King clan in the waters of the Northern District.

Agreement.

And all the monsters in the North District are led by this beast king.

Now that the monsters are attacking the merchant ship of their Tianci Shifang, there must be something wrong that they don't know about.

Also, this North District is not what it seems on the surface, and the situation of underwater monsters is not as simple as I learned when I first came home.

The formation master who arranged the formation to divide the ancient martial arts world into two was actually not only at the fourth level, but also the monsters he sealed in the West District were all land monsters. As for the underwater monsters in the North District now, they are not as powerful.

It is not weaker than the land monsters in the West District, on the contrary, it is stronger.

That is to say, those powerful monsters signed a contract with the formation mage, saying that within five hundred years, monsters above level three could not come out to attack humans, but now it should only be about four hundred years.

Furthermore, the treaty signed by both the Sima Family Taishang and the Zhao Family Taishang with the Beast King of the North District was for two hundred years. So far, that time has not expired.

At this point, they only knew there was a problem, but they didn't know where the problem came from.

Huang Chuyang felt that he was a member of the Cheng Family Formation Hall, and now he was the honorary elder of the two families. This was a bit against the rules. Although Sima Qiucong and Zhao Dong felt that this was nothing, and there had been precedents before, but Huang Chuyang

Still want to refuse.

But at this moment, before Huang Chuyang could reject them, the little gold on his shoulder told him that it had sensed the breath of the treasure again, the same treasure it had sensed when it first arrived in the North District. It seemed that the treasure was still underwater.

In this way, if you want to get the treasure, you may need the help of the two of them. After all, they have been operating in this water area for more than a hundred years, and they are very familiar with the nearby water areas.

"Little Yoko, you might as well agree first and leave the North District after we get the treasure. Anyway, the honorary elder is just a name." Xiao Jin encouraged.

After thinking for a while, Huang Chuyang agreed to the request of the two hall masters, so they were very happy. Zhao Dong handed the bag of spiritual stones that he had apologized to before again to Huang Chuyang. At the same time, Sima Qiucong also took out a bag and handed it over.

According to them, this was the salary of an honorary elder, so Huang Chuyang could only reluctantly accept it.

Huang Chuyang then made a request, hoping that the two companies would arrange manpower to help him investigate the situation in two nearby waters.

The two hall masters naturally agreed to Huang Chuyang's request and left happily.

In the stone house, Huang Chuyang and Xiao Jin began to deploy a plan to obtain the treasure.

However, before getting the treasure, he had to practice some training first. According to the judgment of Sima and the Supreme Leader of the Zhao family, the highest level of the monsters in the North District might be level six, because they had seen level five monsters.

Level 1, 2, and 3 monsters are roughly equivalent to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and level 4, 5, and 6 monsters are probably equivalent to those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Huang Chuyang felt that it was not easy to obtain the treasure. Obtaining the treasure from the hands of a level 6 monster was tantamount to pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. The risk factor was too high.

When he came to Shanhaizhu, Huang Chuyang used Nannan's ancient mirror space to start a crazy training mode. According to what he said before, he would not be able to get out of the level if he did not advance.

One day, two days, three days. Calculated in this way, Huang Chuyang has practiced for thirty-six days. Of course, he has gained something. Although he has just broken through the third floor of the foundation, he has to leave. Xiao Jin, who stayed outside,

Tell him that someone is looking for him.

It turned out to be a manager of the Sima family, and the person sent by the Sima family to search for Huang Chuyang's treasure hunting waters.

"Elder Huang, the investigation of Ling Yanze's place has been completed. It should be the lair of the Ling Xiao Beast."

"Ling Xiao Beast?"

"Yes, the highest level known so far is the third-level monster, but this Lingxiao beast is a kind of monster that lives on water, land and air. It is very difficult to deal with. Moreover, they have always been gregarious beasts. They are extremely ferocious, but they are one level higher than them.

Level monsters, and I don't want to provoke them easily." The steward introduced the situation he had learned in detail.

After a pause, the steward continued: "The Zhao family went to inquire about another place. It is a little far away. It will probably take tomorrow to get back the results."

"Okay, thank you." After Huang Chuyang thanked the steward, he did not forget to take out ten middle-grade spiritual stones as reward.

Seeing the manager leaving happily, he thought that ten middle-grade spiritual stones were not too little.

"Xiao Yangzi, should we go to Ling Yanze to meet the Ling Owl Beast first, or should we wait for information from the Zhao family before deciding." Xiao Jin asked Huang Chuyang eagerly. Looking at Yangzi, it was obvious that he couldn't wait any longer.

However, Huang Chuyang did not set off immediately. He thought it would be better to wait one more day to see the situation in another water area before making a plan.

Another day later, a man who looked like a manager of the Zhao family came to Huang Chuyang.

"Elder Huang, the water area we are exploring is the Zangyuan. It is a huge abyss under the water. It cannot be seen from the outside. As long as any creature comes close to a hundred miles, it will be sucked into the underwater abyss and there will be no chance of survival. Listen.

It is said that a level 3 monster once entered, but never came out again, so it was named Eyuan." After the steward said this, he stood with his hands tied.

When Huang Chuyang looked at the manager of the Zhao family, he looked slightly embarrassed and thought he was a little nervous.

Then he also took out ten middle-grade spiritual stones and gave them to the manager, "Thank you, Manager Zhao."

The manager took over the spirit stones. Apparently he didn't expect Huang Chuyang to be so generous. These spirit stones were equivalent to his annual income.

Just when Huang Chuyang thought he was leaving, Manager Zhao stepped forward and whispered to Huang Chuyang:
Chapter completed!
