Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight: The Water Demon is Ferocious
Haoyang Grottoes.
After Zhou Yang took over the task of guarding the spiritual veins of Haoyang Cave from his father Zhou Xuanhao, he immediately entered the spiritual veins to check the situation.
The entire Haoyang Cave Spiritual Vein was almost built by him. He is naturally very familiar with the environment inside.
Since Zhou Xuanhao promptly activated the "Garrison Golden Ge Formation" to protect the spiritual veins, the environment within the spiritual veins did not change much, but the water level of the underground river was much higher than before.
Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness swept over, and he could even sense the remnants of a pure water spiritual energy, which was obviously left behind by the third-level high-grade monster.
"It's really weird. The aura attributes of this Haoyang Cave are clearly partial to fire and earth. It stands to reason that as a water-type monster, it should be instinctively disgusted. It is best to stay away from such a place. Why does that monster want to break
The protective formation at the bottom of the river broke into this place?"
Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with confusion, and he felt quite puzzled by this.
Monsters are extremely picky about their habitat. Even when hunting, they will give priority to finding and killing prey in an environment that is favorable to them. A fire monster will never jump unless it is about to starve to death.
Hunting in rivers, lakes and seas with water attributes and abundant aura.
It was precisely because Zhou Yang knew this that he found it strange and unreasonable.
However, in the absence of sufficient information, even if he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to make any random guesses. He could only suppress the doubts in his heart and begin to debug and familiarize himself with the operation of the "Garrison Earth Guard Formation".
If the monster comes again, this formation will be his biggest reliance in dealing with the monster. After all, it is impossible for him to go into the water to fight the monster in person, and it is unlikely that the monster will leave the underground river and come ashore to fight him.
The "Garrison Earth Golden Ge Formation" can be defended or attacked. When guarding, it can gather spiritual energy to form an earth-attribute shield to protect one party. With Zhou Yang, a monk in the foundation building stage presiding over the formation, even if a monk in the later stage of foundation building wants to
It would also take half a day to break the shield.
When attacking, the "Garrisoning Earth Golden Ge Formation" can gather spiritual energy to release a "earth-shattering Jin Ge" to counterattack enemies within a kilometer of the formation.
The attack power of "Earth-Shattering Golden Ge" is equally impressive, and is completely enough to hurt late-stage foundation-building monks and third-level high-grade monsters.
However, this kind of attack cannot be issued continuously, and the defense ability of the formation shield will be reduced when attacking, so it cannot be used as a normal method.
Zhou Xuanhao was able to frighten away the third-level high-grade demonic beast before, because that demonic beast took the initiative to retreat and leave the ground after feeling the power emanating from the "Earth-Shattering Golden Ge".
At this time, in order to fully unleash the power of the formation, and in order not to cause damage to the elixirs planted on the spiritual veins, Zhou Yang debugged the formation and then took out hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones and buried them in the formation.
Fa Zhong, and then patiently waiting for the monster to come again.
He never thought that he would have to wait for nearly a month.
One day more than a month later, while Zhou Yang was practicing, he suddenly felt a powerful aura rising from the underground river.
"Is it finally here?"
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stood up and used his spiritual consciousness to shoot towards the underground river.
With his current spiritual consciousness, the maximum distance that his spiritual consciousness can be released has reached seven or eight thousand meters, while the average distance for newly promoted monks in the Purple Mansion Stage is only more than 10,000 meters.
Such a powerful spiritual consciousness makes his ability to detect the enemy's situation much better than that of ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building.
As soon as the third-level high-grade monster entered the dark river deep in Haoyang Cave, Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness was able to clearly see its entire picture.
I saw that the appearance of this monster was very similar to the giant salamander (salamfish) Zhou Yang had seen in his previous life. However, the giant salamander had no fish scales on its body, while this monster had fish scales all over its body except its head.
, and the claws on its limbs are pointed and long, looking very sharp.
The most peculiar thing is that there are two tentacles that are half a foot long in front of this monster's head. One end of the tentacles is connected to its forehead, and a fist-sized luminous lens hangs from the other end, like two glowing light bulbs.
.
When Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness scanned this monster, the giant creature in the dark river, which was more than seven feet long, seemed to sense something, and then the two big "bulbs" in front of its head flashed with blue light.
It actually directly blocked Zhou Yang’s consciousness scan!
At this time, his spiritual consciousness glanced over again, just like a stealth fighter plane on a radar screen, and he could no longer clearly see the existence of the monster beast through his spiritual consciousness.
"Hey, what kind of magical power is this?"
In Haoyang Cave, Zhou Yang looked at the passage where the underground river was with a face full of surprise, and was very surprised by the ability of the monster beast.
This kind of magical power that can shield the spiritual consciousness of the immortal cultivator is very rare. Even if the ordinary monster finds that the spiritual consciousness of the immortal cultivator is peeking at itself, the most it can do is to use the magic power in its body to cover its body, so that the peeping immortal cultivator can no longer see its appearance clearly.
Only a very small number of monsters who are good at stealth and stealth can rely on their special stealth powers to prevent the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators from discovering their true bodies.
Zhou Yang was even a little lucky at this time. Fortunately, this monster was an aquatic monster and not a terrestrial monster.
If a third-level high-grade terrestrial demonic beast also possesses this kind of magical power that can block the spiritual scanning of immortal cultivators, then he can only run as far as he wants.
Without the assistance of divine consciousness, the immortal cultivator will lose his accuracy in attacking with magical weapons or spells. He is no different from a blind man. How can he continue to fight like this?
As for now, although the existence of the monster beast can no longer be found with his spiritual consciousness, the monster beast is moving in the water. With its huge size, Zhou Yang can completely determine its approximate location through the changes in the water flow in the underground river.
Therefore, after he sensed the disappearance of the monster beast, he immediately began to mobilize his formations to prepare attack methods.
嘤——
The spiritual energy fluctuations caused by Zhou Yang's mobilization of formations were naturally unable to hide from the monster swimming in the dark river. Although it didn't know why Zhou Yang couldn't see him, it still chose to attack, but it didn't squat there either.
Look at Zhou Yang’s reasons for casting spells.
So Zhou Yang, who was mobilizing the power of the formation, only heard a low cry like a baby crying, which suddenly sounded from the cave on the other side of the underground river, and then the "rumbling" sound of the river water filled the entire underground cave.
.
Boom!
The turbulent underground river water, driven by the magical powers of monsters and beasts, surges like a tidal wave along the passage from Haoyang Cave to the underground river.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang quickly mobilized the power of the formation to form a shield at the entrance of the passage to intercept it.
However, as soon as he blocked the first wave, the raging river tore the ground at the entrance of the passage to form several new passages. The cold water of the underground river suddenly poured into the cave without any hindrance, and soon
Most of the cave was submerged under the river water.
"How dare you, evil beast!"
Zhou Yang looked at this scene with a livid face, furious.
He built the Haoyang Cave Spiritual Veins with his own hands. He dug handfuls of soil from Yuquan Peak into several spiritual medicine gardens that are now submerged under the river, and planted them one by one.
It was built down.
Now the elixir garden, which he had spent a lot of effort on, was suddenly submerged by the river. How could he not be angry when all his hard work over the years was gone!
"Die!"
Angry in his heart, he immediately removed all protective forces, mobilized all the formation forces together, and instantly condensed a "earth-shattering golden sword" that was more than ten feet long and swept towards a certain area in the river.
Jin Ge roared towards him, easily dividing all the river water in front of him like a river dividing a sea, and finally fell hard on the monster beast.
Wow!
Jin Ge stepped forward, and the monster screamed in pain, and a long wound appeared on its body. The blood flowing from the wound was as blue as sea water.
But before Zhou Yang could clearly see the extent of the monster's injuries, the painful counterattack from the monster had already landed in front of him.
Whoosh whoosh!
A burst of sharp arrows pierced the air, poured into the river in Haoyang Cave, and instantly shot out more than a dozen blue water spears to stab Zhou Yang.
These blue water spears look inconspicuous, but their penetrating power is stronger than ordinary third-level flying swords.
Zhou Yang was not within the straight-line attack range of the water spear, but the water spear easily penetrated dozens of meters of mud and stone and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, he was in the formation, and he could mobilize the power of the formation to protect himself in a single thought. Even if he mobilized the power of the formation, a thick wall was formed in front of him to block the penetration of the water spear.
However, as soon as he blocked this wave of water spears, a second wave of more powerful water spears appeared in his consciousness.
"Damn it!"
Cursing secretly in his heart, Zhou Yang made a decisive decision to retreat.
It's not that he can't block this wave of attacks, but there's no need to fight anymore. If he uses his magic power, he can't defeat a third-level high-grade monster.
Let alone him, even if a ninth-level monk came, he would definitely not be able to defeat any monster of the same level despite his strong magic power.
As soon as Zhou Yang retreated, Haoyang Cave was completely trapped in the boundless river.
Under the control of the third-level high-grade monster, the raging underground river water even submerged most of the oasis on the ground of Haoyang Cave, turning the small desert lake into a water area of more than twenty square meters in an instant.
kilometers of lake.
"What a beast, I didn't expect this beast's ability to control water to be so strong. Could it be that he has the blood of a dragon?"
In the sky, Zhou Yang looked at the desert lake whose water area had suddenly increased. His eyes were shocked and angry, and his face was very ugly.
The ability of water-based monsters to control water is related to their cultivation, but more important is their bloodline.
The water flow of the underground river under Haoyang Cave is not large. Ordinary third-level high-grade water monsters have no ability to cause the river water to rise to the ground to form a desert lake as large as Zhou Yang's eyes.
But now, the area of the desert lake in front of Zhou Yang has not decreased at all. This is obviously because the monster relied on its magical power to forcibly change the water flow of the underground river and divert the water from other rivers here.
This kind of ability is definitely not something that a third-level high-grade water monster with ordinary bloodline can possess.
Therefore, Zhou Yang guessed whether this monster beast had the blood of a dragon.
If it really has dragon bloodline, then its true strength is definitely not as simple as being a third-level top-grade one on the surface.
"No matter what, let's send a message to my great-grandfather first and ask him to come back and take a look. If this monster's ability is really more than what it is now, I have no choice but to ask the Zifuqi monks to come over and kill the monster!"
After making this decision with an ugly face, Zhou Yang turned the flying sword at his feet and returned directly to the Yuquan Lake Oasis.
