Chapter 216: Opening the Border and Expanding the Territory (Part 1)
Not counting the monks in the foundation-building stage, there are thirty-eight monks in the Zhou family who are in the middle stage of Qi training and above!
This time, except for the two who were absent, the remaining thirty-six people were transported in batches by Zhou Yang using gryphon beasts to the outside of the undeveloped oasis. The only monk in the entire Zhou family who was above the middle stage of Qi training was Zhou Xuanhao.
The foundation-building monks stayed behind at Yuquan Peak.
"Did you see the sand dunes in front of you? That's the illusion created by the natural illusion array. We only need to go a dozen miles further to enter the natural illusion array."
"Although this natural illusory formation has no lethality, it is extremely powerful in its ability to hide the aura. I even suspect that even if the Golden Core Stage monks come here, they may not be able to see through the illusory formation if they do not enter the formation in person.
exist!"
In the vast sea of sand, dozens of people from the Zhou family stopped on a small sand dune. Under the guidance of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, everyone looked at the rolling sand dunes ahead, listening to him tell the truth hidden under the surface illusion.
.
By now, all the Zhou family monks on this trip already know that this time they came out not to attack a certain group of monsters occupying the spiritual veins, but to open up a large medium-sized oasis.
Knowing this result, not only did these people not have any fear or fear, but they became even more excited and excited.
Being able to personally participate in a war to open and expand a medium-sized oasis in their lifetime is definitely a very memorable event in their lives.
Moreover, the benefits that can be obtained by opening and expanding a medium-sized oasis are definitely ten times, dozens of times that of a third-level spiritual vein.
It was also at this time that these people understood why Zhou Yang had previously said that this was a major event that would determine the prosperity and decline of the Zhou family.
"Then we will proceed as planned. Except for Ying'er and Guangxiang who lead a group of troops to the two second-level spiritual mountains respectively, the rest will follow my great-grandfather and go straight to the third-level spiritual mountain where Huanglong attacks the three-tailed demon fox!
"
Zhou Yang looked at the rolling sand dunes in front of him with sharp eyes, then looked back at the Zhou family behind him, and issued the order to attack in a deep voice.
As soon as the order was given, he immediately jumped onto the back of the gryphon. Then with a thought in his heart, the gryphon roared fiercely and spread its wings to carry him headlong into the phantom formation.
Just like passing through a layer of water curtain, after Zhou Yang rode the gryphon into the illusion formation, what he saw was a vibrant green grassland.
The grassland here is much lusher than the grassland on the Yuquan Lake Oasis, and can be compared with the grassland on the Baisha River Oasis. This proves that the water vapor on the oasis must be very rich.
Zhou Yang used the "Sky Eye Technique" on the back of the griffin beast to look around, and sure enough he saw several lakes on the oasis with an area ranging from seven to eight square kilometers to more than ten square kilometers.
At the same time, I saw a low-priced monster with various auras emitting from its head.
“What a lush oasis!”
He stood on the back of the gryphon and looked at the entire oasis, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of joyful admiration.
Then his eyes flashed, and he laughed loudly with an excited face: "From today on, this oasis will be named Zhou!"
Before the laughter ended, the gryphon flapped its wings under the command of its master and flew straight towards the lush spiritual mountain that was two to three hundred feet high in the center of the oasis.
The monster that occupies this oasis is the "Three-Tailed Demon Fox", a mutant monster among fox monsters. This monster is not only powerful but also has strong senses.
When the griffin beast, which is also a third-level high-grade monster, approached within a hundred miles of the Lingshan Mountain where it lived, it smelled the scent emanating from the griffin beast and entered a state of alert.
While on alert, it also summoned two third-level demonic beast subordinates that surrendered to it through its cry.
The two third-order monsters that surrendered to the three-tailed demon fox are the third-order middle-grade monster "Flying Fire Bat King" and the third-order low-grade monster "Wind Shadow Leopard".
Among them, the "Flying Fire Bat King" is also the king of a group of second-level demonic beasts "Flying Fire Bats", commanding dozens of second-level demonic beasts "Flying Fire Bats".
At this time, receiving the summons of the three-tailed demon fox, the Flying Fire Bat King immediately flew out of the hiding cave with a group of his followers and rushed to the location of the three-tailed demon fox. These flying fire bats are fire-based monsters and are not afraid of the sun like ordinary bats.
You can go out to forage and fight even during the day.
Not long after the Flying Fire Bat King arrived, a deep leopard roar sounded from the spiritual mountain where the three-tailed demon fox was, and then a blue leopard three to four feet long jumped from a big tree and landed on it.
Behind the Flying Fire Bat King.
After another half-quarter of an hour passed, the huge figure of the griffon finally appeared in the sight of three third-level monsters on the Lingshan Mountain.
"Is that the three-tailed demon fox? It is indeed very different from ordinary fox demons!"
On the back of the griffin beast, Zhou Yang saw the three-tailed demon fox standing on the top of the mountain surrounded by two third-level demonic beasts and looking towards him. The surprise in his eyes flashed away.
This three-tailed demon fox is about three feet long, with three furry fox tails of cyan, red, and white behind it. The fur outside the tail is as red as fire, as dazzling as a burning flame, and its pupils shine like gold, deep and mysterious.
, full of spirituality.
At this time, the three-tailed demon fox bent its hind legs and squatted half-crouched on a bluestone on the top of the mountain, sitting upright like a human being. It looked solemnly at the griffon and Zhou Yang who were approaching rapidly, with a humanized look of worry in its eyes.
Fox demons are known for their wisdom. As a mutant species of fox demons, the three-tailed demon fox is even more intelligent than ordinary fox demons.
Even though it is only a third-level high-grade beast, its intelligence is actually not inferior to that of normal humans, and is much stronger than many fourth-level monsters.
In particular, this three-tailed fox demon has lived for a hundred or two hundred years and has extremely rich experience in fox life. When it saw Zhou Yang on the back of the griffin beast, it already realized that the enemy was well prepared.
Although the griffin is also a strange beast, if there is a real fight, the three-tailed demon fox believes that it can completely defeat the griffin.
But the human monk on the back of the griffin beast, the three-tailed demon fox, did not have such confidence.
It can see that Zhou Yang's cultivation level is not high, at most it is a little better than the Flying Fire Bat King. However, Zhou Yang can use this cultivation level to make the griffon beast with the same cultivation level as him surrender, which shows the strength of this human monk.
sharp.
What happened next also confirmed the three-tailed demon fox's worries.
After Zhou Yang took the first step on the griffin beast, Zhou Minghan and Huang Yi, who flew over with swords, also appeared in the sight of the three-tailed demon fox.
After feeling the aura of Zhou Minghan's ninth level of foundation building, the three-tailed demon fox's golden fox eyes instantly revealed a look of panic.
The enemy is indeed prepared!
The three-tailed demon fox's eyes narrowed, and he already had the intention of retreating.
Although it is reluctant to give up this oasis where it has lived for hundreds of years, it is not low on intelligence and does not want to become a cold corpse.
With its ability, even after leaving this oasis, it can occupy another place for spiritual practice in other places.
When the time comes, just wait for it to advance to the fourth level and condense the demon elixir, and then kill it back to take back the oasis.
Of course, as a monster, even if it already has the intention to retreat, it cannot retreat without a fight. It must at least fight with the enemy, and it is not too late to escape after confirming that it is defeated.
So it took the initiative.
It raised its head and let out a low roar, and the Flying Fire Bat King, who was hanging upside down on a big tree on the mountain, led a group of his followers and pounced on the gryphon.
At the same time, the Wind Shadow Leopard also flashed with green light, and with the help of the power of the wind, he became invisible and disappeared from the sight of Zhou Yang and others.
As for the three-tailed demon fox on the top of the mountain, the cyan fox tail behind him shook, and his body quickly turned into a cyan afterimage and rushed towards Huang Yi, who was the lowest in cultivation.
It can actually fly!
"The evil beast is so brave!"
On the back of the griffin beast, Zhou Yang saw the movements of the three monster beasts, and a look of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
He and others came prepared, but they were arranged by a monster, which made him feel like his intelligence was insulted!
With a wave of his sleeve, he released the four flying swords he had refined.
Facing a large number of flying fire bats, it is more convenient and faster to use sword formation to kill them.
Immediately, under the command of Zhou Yang, the four flying swords dived into the group of flying fire bats like four dragons, instantly causing a bloody storm among them.
At the same time, the Gripen also flapped its wings and released dozens of cyan wind blades to join the assist array.
In the sky behind Zhou Yang, Zhou Minghan's expression also changed drastically after he saw the three-tailed demon fox abandoning himself to kill Huang Yi, who had the lowest cultivation level.
Although they chose to bring Huang Yi here instead of Zhou Guangxiang and others this time because they were afraid that someone would die in an accident, it did not mean that they were willing to see Huang Yi die.
The Zhou family has invested a lot of money in Huang Yi. If he is allowed to die here, wouldn't all the previous investments be in vain?
Of course Zhou Minghan would not allow this to happen.
So while he hurriedly sent a message to Huang Yi to protect himself, he waved his hand and used a third-level low-grade thunder talisman to hit the three-tailed demon fox.
At this time, if you want to stop the three-tailed demon fox, you can only use the fastest lightning spell.
boom!
Thunder exploded from the sky, and the three-tailed demon fox was stopped by the thunder talisman played by Zhou Minghan.
Monsters are inherently afraid of thunder. Although the three-tailed demon fox is not low in intelligence, it cannot completely restrain its animalistic instinct and ignore the thunder.
As soon as it stopped to resist the thunderous bombardment, the flying sword released by Zhou Minghan had already attacked, leaving it no chance to attack Huang Yi again.
"Thank you, old patriarch, for saving me!"
Huang Yi, who was lucky enough to escape with his life, was sweating profusely and quickly thanked Zhou Minghan.
Then the sword light under his feet turned and he quickly landed on the ground below.
As a cultivator of earth-based martial arts, having his feet on the ground would be more beneficial for him in combat.
According to Zhou Yang's pre-arranged battle arrangement, his opponent was the third-level low-grade monster Wind Shadow Leopard. Because he was worried that he would not be the opponent of the Wind Shadow Leopard, Zhou Xuanhao, who stayed behind in the family, specially took the third-level monster in his hand.
The puppet beast was temporarily lent to him for use.
At this time, after he landed on the ground, he immediately released the "Vajra Tiger" puppet beast, and then concentrated on searching for the shadow of the Wind Shadow Leopard.
