Zhou Xuanyu escaped back using the "Blood Escape Technique".
Not only did she find nothing worth mentioning in the underground river, but she bumped into a water monster returning to its nest on the way back, and had to use the "blood escape technique" to escape back to the surface.
"I have gone deep into the underground river waterway for at least two hundred miles. Except for some ordinary animals and low-level monsters living in the underground river, I have not found anything abnormal. The water monster should have wandered here accidentally."
On the Qingping Mountain Oasis, Zhou Xuanyu, who had escaped, told his exploration experience with a pale face.
Originally, Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang asked her to explore the underground river channel because they suspected that the water monster appeared in Haoyang Cave because it escaped here after losing a fight with other water monsters in the underground river channel.
If that's the case, even if they deal with the water monster this time, they may not be able to live peacefully in Haoyang Cave in the future.
But now judging from the analysis of the situation that Zhou Xuanyu investigated, this suspicion should be lifted.
Therefore, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what she said.
Zhou Minghan said immediately: "Since there is only one water demon, let's invite Chen Ping'an to come over and kill the demon as planned!"
Chen Ping'an still owes the Zhou family a favor. If he invites him to kill the monster, the Zhou family will not only have to pay any reward, but they will also get the body of a third-level high-grade monster for free, which can barely make up for the loss of Haoyang Cave due to flooding.
.
Immediately, Zhou Yang went to the Baisha River Oasis in person and invited Chen Ping'an over.
"Senior, please look, the water demon is hiding in the cave below."
Outside Haoyang Cave, the two Zhou family members and Chen Pingan were holding swords in the air and looking down.
Zhou Yang explained the situation of the water demon when he was at the Baisha River Oasis, so there is no need to repeat it now.
When he heard what Zhou Yang said, Chen Pingan looked at the calm lake below and pondered for a while, then looked at the two of them and said: "This is Chen's first time to enter the water to slay demons. The two Taoist friends
If we continue to follow, Chen cannot say that he will be able to guarantee the safety of the two of us."
Listening to his words, it was obvious that he did not agree with Zhou Yang and the two of them following him to watch the battle.
However, it was rare for Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan to see a monk from the Purple Mansion enter the water to slay demons, so how could they let go of this eye-opening opportunity?
Therefore, after the two looked at each other, Zhou Yang spoke up and said: "Senior Chen, don't worry, the two juniors will protect themselves. Senior only needs to worry about slaying the demon!"
Seeing this, Chen Ping'an didn't say anything more. He just nodded lightly and said: "Since you two have made up your mind, Chen will not go into details. Let's go down."
After saying that, the sword light moved under his feet, and he immediately wrapped himself in the sword light and plunged into the desert lake below.
On the other hand, Zhou Yang and the other two were not as careless as him.
The two of them first held the protective magic weapon in their hands, then each released a protective spell to protect themselves, and finally released the "water-avoiding spell" spell and jumped into the lake.
By the time Zhou Yang and the two entered Haoyang Cave under the blue shield formed by the "Water Avoidance Curse", Chen Ping'an and the water demon had already started fighting.
Compared to the two fire-based martial arts cultivators, Chen Ping'an, a monk who majored in gold-based martial arts, was not severely suppressed in the water, and his strength was enough to perform at 90% of his normal state.
When Zhou Yang and the others came over, the water demon had already been cut several times on its body by his flying sword, and even one of its claws was cut off.
At this moment, seeing the two old enemies Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan rushing over, the water demon suddenly no longer had any intention of fighting.
It opened its mouth and suddenly spurted out a large ball of blue liquid that seemed to be some kind of real water.
As soon as the blue liquid came out of its mouth, it turned into water arrows and shot towards the three people. However, the fish itself shook its tail, and its body quickly turned into a blue water light and fled towards the entrance of the underground river.
"Where to go!"
Chen Ping'an, a dignified cultivator of the Purple Mansion, would naturally not sit back and watch a third-level monster slip away under his nose. Although the water monster's water escape technique was extraordinary, his flying sword was even faster.
Zhou Yang, who was resisting the attack of the flying arrows from the real water, saw a flash of silver light in the water, and the fourth-level flying sword "White Rainbow Sword" turned into a silver sword rainbow that came first and tore a streak on the water demon's back in an instant.
The wound, which was about ten feet long, forcibly interrupted its water escape technique.
Wow!
The water demon appeared and let out a cry like a baby crying. Then it turned around and looked at Chen Ping'an who was chasing him, and suddenly made a move that was beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw the huge body of the water demon suddenly sank. It sank to the bottom of the water and put its head close to the ground, making a gesture of surrender. The pair of "lightbulb"-like luminous lenses in front of its head completely reduced its brilliance, as if it was under water.
It's like showing that you are not hostile.
"Um?"
When Chen Pingan saw this scene, his eyes flashed with surprise and his brows furrowed.
Seeing the water monster like this, it was obvious that he was defeated and wanted to surrender and beg for mercy. Although this kind of thing was rare, it had happened before.
Monsters are also intelligent and afraid of death. The higher the intelligence of monsters, the more obvious they are in this aspect.
Those high-level monks who subdued monsters to use as mounts would first subdue the monsters with their powerful strength, and then take them back to slowly tame and train them.
However, Chen Pingan came here to help the Zhou family slay demons this time to repay a favor, but he had no plans to accept pets.
Furthermore, given the situation in the Immortal Realm of the Boundless Sand Sea, even if he subdued this water monster, he would have no use for it.
"What do you think of this?" He turned his eyes and looked at the two Zhou family members and asked.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan's eyes flashed, and they couldn't help but secretly began to talk via voice.
After a moment, Zhou Yang replied respectfully: "If Senior Chen wants to subdue this water demon, I will naturally not dare to have any objections. I just ask Senior to subdue this demon queen and take her away from this place."
When Chen Pingan heard his answer, he immediately understood what the two people meant.
Obviously, the Zhou family didn't want him to conquer the water demon.
This water monster is so huge. Even if he subdues the water monster, how can he take it away from Haoyang Cave?
He doesn’t have the kind of spirit beast ring that Taoist Qingyang has that can put spirit beasts in it!
And even if he can take away the water monster, as a third-order high-grade water monster, the water monster can only live in waters with third-order spiritual veins. Will he have to go out of his way to raise this water monster underwater?
Cultivate a third-level spiritual vein?
Therefore, if he really conquers the water monster, the best way to deal with it is to occupy the Zhou family's Haoyang Cave and raise the water monster in captivity.
But in this way, the Zhou family will not only lose a third-level spiritual mountain, but he will also plant a nail in their heart.
When it comes to the fundamental interests of the family, even if he is a monk in the Zifu period, the Zhou family obviously does not intend to compromise in this regard.
What's more, the reason why he appears here now is to repay a favor. If he conquered the water demon queen and occupied the Zhou family's spiritual mountain instead, then is it a return of favor or another favor from the Zhou family?
What about him?
After thinking about this, Chen Pingan no longer had any hesitation.
He saw a thought in his mind, a flash of sword light, and the "White Rainbow Sword" that had stopped suddenly enlarged and turned into a giant sword about ten feet long, slashing hard at the water demon, directly killing the entire head of the water demon.
The sword fell down.
In order to show his surrender, the poor water demon deliberately removed all protection, but he didn't expect that in the end he still couldn't dodge the blow.
After cutting off the water demon's head with one sword, Chen Ping'an immediately stretched out his hand and withdrew the flying sword. Then he glanced at the Zhou family with a calm expression and said, "The water demon has been killed. Chen owes the Zhou family a favor."
Let’s clear things up and say goodbye.”
After saying that, he moved and left the place directly.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan watched him leave without retaining anything.
We are all successful practitioners, and we all understand that favors belong to favors, and interests belong to interests.
Chen Ping'an returned the favor this time, but he also missed the opportunity to obtain a third-level high-grade monster as a spiritual beast. That's for sure he felt unhappy.
Trying to keep him at this time will not only fail to keep him, but will also make both parties more embarrassed.
"This is such a big deal!"
Zhou Minghan shook his head helplessly, feeling very uncomfortable with this situation.
The death of the water demon would have put an end to the problem, but before he died, he caused such an incident and gave the Zhou family a wave of eye drops. Really, death would not let anyone live in peace.
After shaking his head, he looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Forget it, let's get rid of this beast's body first. As for how to drain the river water here, we will figure out a way later!"
Because the body of the water demon was too big, Zhou Yang and the two could only tie the body with a rope, and then dragged it to the shore of the lake outside for decomposition.
This water monster is a third-level high-quality monster. The fish scales on its body can be used to refine third-level high-quality defensive magic weapons. The fish skin can be used to make talismans and refining defensive inner armor. The fish blood can be used to make spiritual ink and fish bones.
Formation disks and formation flags suitable for refining water-based formations.
However, the most important thing on his body is the pair of "light bulb"-like luminous lenses. If this object is refined well, it may be able to release the water demon's magic that blocks the monk's consciousness.
"Hey, what is this?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yang, who was disassembling the body of the water demon, let out a soft sigh, as if he had made an unusual discovery.
I saw him using the flying sword in his hand to pick out a bloody bag from the belly of the water demon. Then he turned the tip of the sword and opened a small opening in the bag, revealing the abundant water spiritual energy inside.
blue liquid.
"Oh, this thing is still there?"
Zhou Yang looked at the blue liquid in the bag with surprise in his eyes.
This blue liquid, which was suspected to be some kind of "real water", left a deep impression on him. He thought that with the death of the water demon, this blue liquid would have dissipated, but he didn't expect that it would still be there.
There is a legacy.
"Since there are still traces of this thing, it means that the water demon did not condense this thing with its own magic power, but swallowed a kind of heaven and earth spiritual water from somewhere."
"Generally, these spiritual objects generated by heaven and earth are necessary for high-level monks to practice certain magical powers, and they are of inestimable value!"
"It's a pity that water-based martial arts monks in our Boundless Sand Sea Cultivation World are rare, and our knowledge of various spiritual waters of heaven and earth is also limited. Even though this thing is precious, it is probably extremely difficult to get rid of it!"
Zhou Minghan took the bag in Zhou Yang's hand and looked at it, then shook his head with regret and sighed, handing the thing back to Zhou Yang's hand.
