There was no response from the mysterious slate fragments. Zhou Xing was so anxious that he punched himself in the abdomen. The pain relieved his anxiety and fear. He looked up and saw a yellow shadow flying out of the tunnel behind the three-eyed golden monkey...
The spiritual beast that flew in looked like an owl with a white head. It was a little yellow bird. Judging from the power it exuded, it seemed that it had advanced to the early stage of the third level and its strength had greatly increased.
I saw a little yellow bird hovering above the head of the three-eyed golden monkey and making a crisp chirp, as if it was conveying some message. Then the three-eyed golden monkey scratched its ears and glanced at everyone who was still alive, then turned and left.
The little yellow bird turned its attention to Zhou Xing. Those who survived felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Now there was not a single Tianwu realm among them.
But he saw the little yellow bird chirping briskly and pounced on Zhou Xing, and anyone could tell that it meant no harm.
Zhou Xing smiled and opened his arms, wanting to hug the little yellow bird, but he ignored the fact that it had grown much bigger after being promoted to the third level, with a wingspan of more than five feet, almost catching up with his wingspan. The impact of the swooping attack
The force knocked him down and he sat on the ground.
"Okay, okay," Zhou Xing touched the little yellow bird's head to get it up, then pointed at the sluggish Liu Yulong next to him, and said coldly: "Kill him."
With a mournful face, Liu Yulong knelt on his knees and begged for mercy: "Uncle, I am a bastard. I am no better than a pig or a dog. I will give you all my things. Also, put your space ring in the cave where I live. I won't touch it."
I haven’t even touched it, please don’t kill me.”
Haven't moved?
There are some differences in Zhou Xing. Speaking of which, he has a lot of treasures in his space ring. Judging from the realm and methods of this group of people, not to mention Liu Yulong, even the Liu family behind him will go crazy when they see those talismans. If he can use them
It won't be so miserable now.
In fact, when Liu Yulong came back from arresting Zhou Xing that day, he immediately went to "do something" and left the space ring in a corner. He collected at least dozens of space rings and didn't pay attention to them afterwards.
No matter how Liu Yulong burst into tears and begged miserably for mercy, Zhou Xing remained indifferent and let the little yellow bird tear him in half, causing blood to flow all over the floor.
Zhou Xing took off the space ring from Liu Yulong's hand. Most of the tens of thousands of cubic meters of space were filled with lapis lazuli, as well as hundreds of mid-grade spiritual crystals, a large number of low-grade spiritual crystals and other items. Except for the lapis lazuli, the value was more than his own.
is much smaller.
"Brother Zhou, ox, you spiritual pet..." Chen Wenle came over mysteriously and whispered, "Could it be the cub of the sacred beast Yellow Bird?"
Zhou Xing's whole body tensed up. This guy really had an unusual identity. He could actually see the little yellow bird's legs at a glance. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the little yellow bird didn't have any disguise.
"Don't be nervous, brother," Chen Wenle smiled and hugged Zhou Xing's shoulders, "I have absolutely no other intentions. I'm committed to a talented person like you, and you will be my big brother from now on."
"What?" Zhou Xing was stunned. Although Chen Wenle had been calling him brothers these days, he knew that this guy was a familiar person and was equally enthusiastic about other people. Looking at his posture now, it seemed that he was serious.
His status as a royal descendant of the Chenxu Dynasty is not simple, and of course that is not necessarily a good thing.
Zhou Xing threw Chen Wenle away, walked aside and asked the little yellow bird: "Xiao Huang, are you the one who caused this beast wave?"
Although Xiao Huang has been promoted to the third level and has extraordinary combat power, Liu Xun is in the high-level Tianwu realm, and Xiao Huang cannot deal with it relying on level suppression.
Xiao Huang's beak opened and closed. No sound was made for a long time, and no other movements were seen. When Zhou Xing was confused, a baby-like voice came out: "Yes~"
"You can speak?" Zhou Xing's eyes widened. He remembered that only after the fourth level of spiritual beasts can they truly open up their spiritual intelligence and be able to speak human words. Holy beasts are also more powerful in this regard?
Although Xiao Huang's language sounds as immature as a three- or four-year-old human child, it can indeed speak, and it will be easier to communicate in the future.
The beast tide in the valley has not yet passed. Zhou Xing looked at the survivors and said: "Celestite is a very valuable ore. You can divide the ones that have been dug out here."
"Thank you, thank you so much..." Everyone's eyes lit up. The value of these lapis lazuli stones has exceeded the entire net worth of many of them.
"I would like to remind you again, it is best not to be seen by the Liu family or find out that you have so many lapis lazuli, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
Half an hour later, the beast tide finally receded, and Zhou Xing immediately walked out of the mine tunnel. The sun outside was bright and pleasant, but suddenly, it became dark.
Zhou Xing was shocked when he saw in front of him a flying spiritual beast that was more than ten meters long. It looked like the legendary sacred beast Phoenix, but its elegant neck was extra long and its feathers were mixed with yellow and white.
A fourth-level spiritual beast is equivalent to an extraordinary human being. The tide of beasts has receded, so why is there such a spiritual beast still there?
Zhou Xing swallowed, he couldn't fight or run, he just stood there like a puppet.
Xiao Huang flew over and called out to the fourth-level spiritual beast. After a while, the latter responded with a call, which was very similar to the former, and then spread its wings and flew away.
At this time, Chen Wenle followed up and sighed: "This is a descendant of the phoenix lineage. Although the blood is impure, it is also extremely extraordinary. When it grows to the holy realm, it can become a sacred beast that protects the country!"
"Then why don't you catch it?"
Chen Wenle sneered and said: "It can burn me to ashes with a ball of fire, so forget it."
"By the way, Brother Zhou, since you are not from Liucheng, where do you plan to go next?"
Zhou Xing glanced at him and replied: "Jingshan, Danlin."
After taking his own space ring, Zhou Xing took the little yellow bird and left the valley. Chen Wenle stuck to his back like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't get rid of it.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he left, the people alive in the mine started fighting over the lapis lazuli, and he didn't know how many of them would survive...
"Ahead is Shimo City. Fresh water originating from the Ganmo Mountains in the south flows through the city. People who drink the water will lose their sense of taste, but there is a magical fish growing in the water. It is said to be very delicious and can...
It is a natural medicine that nourishes yin energy." Standing on the hillside and looking ahead, Chen Wenle introduced that although he had never been here, he already knew the geographical distribution of Yanzhou.
In front of you is a long and narrow city, built along the slowly flowing water, tens of miles long from north to south, and across the water river from east to west. The city wall is tall and majestic, and there are soldiers stationed on the tower.
The river water is a strange milky white, a little denser and more viscous than ordinary clear water. It seems to be able to block the detection of soul power, and only the looming shadows of fish can be seen underwater.
Chen Wenle suggested: "Jingshan is not far to the north of Shimei City. Let's go to the city to rest and recuperate. We are exhausted from traveling these days."
Zhou Xing didn't object, he wasn't in a hurry anyway.
You need to pay a mid-grade spiritual crystal to enter the city. Looking at the number of people, Zhou Xing's income in one day is staggering. However, the only team guarding the city gate is led by an extraordinary strong man. The rest are all in the Tianwu realm, coming and going.
There are also some extraordinary or even stronger people among the crowd, so it is natural that they charge the entrance fee.
Just when it was about to be Zhou Xing and Chen Wenle's turn, there was a sudden commotion behind them. A 10-foot-tall spiritual beast walked over in a swaggering manner, and the people in line gave way.
This spirit beast has the face of a human and the body of a leopard. It has an ox's ears and one eye, and a long tail. It is at the fourth level. It has a fierce aura, but at the moment it is just a mount.
A young man with a tall figure and a pair of peach blossom eyes, who looked drunk but not drunk, rode on the back of a spiritual beast and walked towards the city gate arrogantly.
"These are bullocks, relics from ancient times, comparable to holy beasts."
Chen Wenle said in his ear, and Zhou Xing also knew the identity of the young man from the comments of the people around him - Zhuo Kun, the son of the leader of the Tianyin Sect. Although his realm has not reached the extraordinary, it is not far away, considering that he is only two years old.
At the age of ten, he can be regarded as a genius of his generation.
Zhuo Kun was very famous in this area, and the city gate guards let him in without collecting any spiritual crystals.
The two found an inn to stay at, and after taking a comfortable bath, Chen Wenle couldn't help but go out for a walk. When he came back, he immediately found Zhou Xing.
"Good news, no, bad news."
Seeing Chen Wenle's confused look, Zhou Xing laughed: "Is it good news or bad news?"
Chen Wenle frowned and said, "I don't know if it's good news or bad news for you."
Zhou Xingyi was startled: "To me?"
"That's right, aren't you going to Jingshan Alchemy Forest? You should be going to Jinglong Alchemy Sage to ask for elixirs, right?"
Zhou Xing nodded.
Chen Wenle continued: "Elixir Sage Jinglong said three days ago that anyone who has the Lingbi Zhenyu can exchange any elixir with him. This just gives you a way to ask for elixirs, but now Shimei
There are many people from all walks of life in the city, including great geniuses like Zhuo Kun. In addition, since decades ago, Lingbi fish in the water have been extremely rare to see, so your chance of catching it is very slim."
After listening to Chen Wenle's explanation, Zhou Xing gradually understood that the Lingbi Proteus Fish is a variant of the Proteus Fish. It can be said to have evolved. Its whole body is like a jade wall. It is hundreds of times more precious than ordinary Proteus Fish. It is said that thousands of
Years ago, it was because of the Lingbi Zhen fish produced in this section of water that the city of Shimei was built.
But nowadays, the Lingbi fish is almost extinct. Only the Diaoyutai in the center of the city can occasionally catch one, and not everyone can catch it. It requires more than just luck.
Lingbi fish are extremely sensitive to spiritual power and generally live in the lower layers of drinking water. Only special pure spiritual power can attract them to swim up and bite the hook.
"Then why don't you just go into the water and catch it? Can't a monk even catch a few fish?" Zhou Xing asked.
"Once people enter the water, the water will be disturbed, and the Lingbizu fish will flee in all directions and burrow into the mud at the bottom of the water, making it harder to catch. And it is not that no one has done this. It seems that the Lingbizu fish have been caught with great effort.
The quality of the fish has been greatly reduced, which is equivalent to being useless. The most important thing is..." Chen Wenle paused, "There are unknown strange beasts living under the water. They usually fall into deep sleep, but if they are accidentally provoked, they will be harmful to the whole food.
It is a disaster for the city of Mo, so the city lord's palace strictly prohibits people from drinking water."
"I see, let's go to the Diaoyutai tomorrow to have a look!"
The next day, Zhou Xing and Chen Wenle went to Diaoyutai, only to find that the place was already crowded with people.
The Diaoyutai is built on the east bank of the fresh water. It is one foot to seven feet high, in the shape of a semicircle, and faces a wide water surface of several hundred meters.
Whether it was around the Diaoyutai on the east bank or the opposite west bank, it was crowded with countless monks and spiritual beasts who came to watch. There were a lot of people in the Tianwu realm, and extraordinary people could be seen everywhere. The people in the Lingwu realm became the lowest level.
Luxurious lofts stand on both sides of the bank. Some powerful or distinguished people are chatting and laughing in them, looking down at the scenery below.
Looking at the crowds that surrounded the Diaoyutai on three levels inside and outside, Zhou Xingtou was so big that he couldn't squeeze in. If someone accidentally slapped him, he would have his hair tied up.
"What a coincidence. It seems that the geniuses from the nearby great religions have agreed to compete on the Diaoyutai today. When the news spread, half of the people in Shimo City came to watch." Chen Wenle sighed, "
Gee, it’s quite lively.”
"What's the comparison? It's really baffling." Zhou Xing muttered.
Chen Wenle explained: "These geniuses are all arrogant and will not obey anyone. If they compete directly with each other in terms of force, they will all hide their cards and refuse to expose their cards casually. Jinglong Dansheng is just in the right place to ask for the Lingbi Zhenyu."
Give them a chance, and do you know who was the last one to catch the Lingbi Proverb fish?"
"I don't know."
"That man is the current Lord of Shimei City," Chen Wenle said with a look of yearning on his face, "At first he was just a little-known person who caused a huge sensation because he caught the Lingbi Proverb fish.
He was accepted as a direct disciple by the previous city lord. After showing great talent, he married the daughter of the previous city lord. He even became a saint in just twenty years and took over the position of city lord. It is said that when he first became a saint, he killed someone.
A ferocious beast that has been sanctified for a long time and has a great reputation! Who wouldn’t want to become such a legend?”
At this time, the surrounding crowd suddenly exclaimed: "It's Ning Gang, the son of Ningcheng Mountain. He has reached the peak of Tianwu before he turns twenty. It is said that he will be able to break through to the extraordinary within half a year."
Zhou Xing looked around and saw a young man in a green shirt with a straight nose and sharp eyes jumping down from the attic and landing on the fishing platform. He turned around and said, "If you keep whining, I'll start first.
When the time comes, I will have fished away the Lingbi fish, and you can leave."
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then I'm here to accompany Brother Ning." As a slightly sharp voice sounded, a figure walked out and came to the Diaoyutai.
"It's Zhuo Kun, the godson of the Tianyin Sect!" the crowd exclaimed again.
This Zhuo Kun was the one Zhou Xing and Chen Wenle met when they entered the city.
Afterwards, several geniuses who had been sitting in the magnificent attic also came down to the Diaoyutai one after another. They were all famous geniuses.
The people who manage the Diaoyutai in the City Lord's Mansion gave the tools to these prodigies. The fishing rods were made of spiritual trees that grow near the drinking water, the fishing lines were made of a special kind of silk, and the baits were spiritual shrimps that lived in the drinking water. All of them were used for fishing.
Lingbi Zhenyu is tailor-made.
Just when Ning Gang was impatient to be the first to throw the hook into the water, a gentle and watery voice came from the distance: "Gentlemen, can you wait a moment?"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman with long hair reaching her waist, a perfect oval face, delicate facial features, and a purple skirt flying over on a spiritual beast that looked like a peacock and had gorgeous feathers.
