Chapter 217: Opening the Border and Expanding the Territory (Part 2)
If you want to expand your territory, someone is destined to sacrifice.
Zhou Yang and the others were all foundation-building monks along the way, so they were not prone to casualties.
But the other two groups of Zhou family monks were not so lucky.
Although the two groups of Zhou family monks did not encounter third-level monster enemies, and were protected by two foundation-building monks, Xiao Ying and Zhou Guangxiang, they still inevitably appeared when faced with attacks by monster beasts that were several times their own number.
There were casualties.
Xiao Ying's journey was better. Although she didn't like fighting with others, she was not afraid of killing some low-level monsters.
And although her fighting skills are not very good, her ability to save lives and heal the wounded is very good. As long as the monks of the Zhou family who followed her did not suffer serious injuries that would lead to death, she could quickly suppress their injuries or even heal them directly.
Therefore, although some of the Zhou family monks who followed him were injured, none were killed.
Zhou Guangxiang's journey is different, although they have Zhou Guangxiang, a second-level mid-level formation mage, who can form formations to eliminate incoming monsters.
However, there are so many monsters and formations that it is impossible to completely protect everyone from harm.
Especially for newcomers on the battlefield who don't have much fighting experience, once they encounter something unprepared, they can easily get confused and be injured or killed by monsters.
"Idiots, are you all pig-headed? How do the elders teach you in school? Are your daily fights and sparring sessions just children's play? Don't you know that panicking when you are in trouble is a taboo in fighting?"
Although Zhou Guangxiang is smart and alert, he does not have much real fighting experience. When he saw that someone under his leadership was killed by a monster, he suddenly became angry and angry. He couldn't help but cursed and complained to everyone in the team.
Those clan brothers and clan brothers, and even some clan uncles of the same age.
He is pregnant with Pinlinggen and has been favored by the family elders since he was a child. Therefore, he is very ambitious and wants to become a family leader like Zhou Yang who can lead the Zhou family to prosperity.
Now that he, a monk in the foundation building stage, was personally leading the team, someone in the team was killed by some low-level monsters. How could he not be angry?
"Guangxiang, don't just blame these clansmen. Now we should slow down the advance first. You must give full play to your abilities as an array mage and foundation-building monk and lead us in a defensive battle. Anyway, our goal is to clear the oasis.
As long as we can kill all the monster beasts or drive them out of the oasis, the mission will be considered complete!"
Just when Zhou Guangxiang was getting angry and losing his temper, Zhou Xuanhe, the eldest elder of the Zhou family in the team, spoke out to persuade him with a gloomy face and gave him his own suggestions.
Although his cultivation level is not as good as Zhou Guangxiang's, he is Zhou Guangxiang's grandfather, and he has watched Zhou Guangxiang grow up since he was a child. At this time, he came out to speak and persuade, which really had an effect.
"What Grandpa Fourteen taught me is that my great-nephew knows what to do!"
The anger on Zhou Guangxiang's face subsided, his voice returned to calm and he nodded. He immediately took out some formation equipment and set up a defensive formation on the spot.
He knew very well that what Zhou Xuanhe just said was actually to show him mercy.
In fact, the real meaning of Zhou Xuanhe's words was that the reason why someone died in battle just now was mainly because he underestimated the enemy and rushed in to complete the task of eliminating low-level monsters first, and then participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the three-tailed monster fox.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan arranged the experienced Zhou Xuanhe to Zhou Guangxiang's team, and their original intention was the same.
They all know that it is okay to train the children of the family, even if there are individual casualties, but there must not be large casualties.
Although the number of monks in the Zhou family is not small now, the monks who are in the middle stage of Qi training and above are the backbone of the family. If one or two people are lost, the family can afford it, but if they lose seven or eight in one battle,
One or even a dozen would be a heavy blow to the family.
Fortunately, after taking Zhou Xuanhe's defensive counterattack proposal, Zhou Guangxiang and his team finally stabilized their position, and no one was killed by the monster again.
On the other side, Zhou Yang and the Gripen jointly attacked, and the group of flying fire bats that intercepted them were quickly killed and dispersed. Seeing that the situation was not good, the flying fire bat king directly screamed and launched his natural sonic attack.
After a moment of attack from Zhou Yang's master and servant, his body quickly turned into a burst of fire and escaped.
"Go and get rid of that big rat, and remember to keep the body for me and bring it back!"
Zhou Yang recovered from the sonic attack and looked at the Flying Fire Bat King who turned into a streak of fire and fled. He directly gave the pursuit order to the griffin beast under him. Then he jumped off the back of the lion with a movement of his body and flew with his sword.
He killed the three-tailed demon fox that was fighting the old patriarch Zhou Minghan over there.
The flying sword used by Zhou Yang to fly with his sword is the eliminated third-level low-grade flying sword "Crane Mouth Sword", so it does not delay him from using the sword array to fight against the enemy.
The three tails of the three-tailed fox each have their own magical functions. The green fox tail can not only perform the "Wind Movement" to give the three-tailed fox the ability to fly, but it can also launch a wind blade attack or create a wind wall to defend against attacks.
The red fox tail represents the fire element and can release flaming arrows and continuous fireballs.
The white fox tail represents the spiritual system. The three-tailed fox tail can use this fox tail to cast charm spells to enslave other monsters for its own use. It can also create illusions to confuse the spiritual consciousness of cultivators, and even launch spiritual shocks similar to spiritual attacks.
In addition to these three fox tails with different functions, the three-tailed demon fox can also spit out a powerful red demonic fire. This red demonic fire is extremely powerful and can easily burn down third-level low-grade magic weapons.
At the same time, the golden eyes of the three-tailed demon fox can also emit a scorching ray spell, which is also very powerful.
It is precisely because they know that the three-tailed demon fox has many tricks and is not easy to mess with that the Zhou family will wait until Zhou Minghan reaches the ninth level of foundation building before daring to come over.
However, Zhou Minghan's cultivation had just reached the ninth level of foundation building, and his true combat effectiveness was still far behind those of monks who had reached this level for decades.
Therefore, although he relied on the powerful spiritual consciousness of the ninth-level monk to block the most powerful illusion attack of the three-tailed demon fox, he was still beaten by various other means. He could only barely protect himself and attack the three-tailed demon fox.
Some diversionary attacks.
Zhou Yang's arrival undoubtedly made him feel relieved.
Although this younger generation of the family is far inferior to him in cultivation, their real fighting power has completely surpassed him, and he is the well-deserved number one strongman of the Zhou family.
After Zhou Yang joined the battle, he first used the "Four Elephant Demon-Suppressing Sword Formation" to surround and attack the three-tailed demon fox, restricting its ability to move.
Then he raised his hand and took out the "Thunder Fire Gourd" and fired all three "Thunder Fire Bombs" inside.
Boom boom boom!
The power of the three "thunder fire bombs" exploded together was equivalent to the top third-level high-grade spells. After eating this, the three-tailed demon fox suffered serious injuries in an instant, and its red hair was stained with red blood.
Much more red.
Ga——
The injured three-tailed demon fox couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, then it glared at Zhou Yang with a pair of golden fox eyes, swung its white fox tail behind it, and directly launched a mental shock spell on Zhou Yang.
The mental attack was invisible, traceless and impossible to defend against. Zhou Yang, who was stepping on the flying sword, only felt a pain in his head and was directly hit.
However, just as the three-tailed demon fox's eyes were filled with joy and it was about to take advantage of Zhou Yang's mental disorder to launch a follow-up attack, Zhou Yang, who was falling downwards on the flying sword, suddenly stabilized his body and turned to look at it.
He snorted coldly.
"snort!"
The cold shout reached the ears of the three-tailed demon fox, causing its body to tremble, and its head felt like needles pricking it.
Good opportunity!
Zhou Minghan, who was in the sky, saw this scene, his face was filled with joy, and he quickly used his flying sword to strike at the head of the three-tailed demon fox.
The flying sword was approaching, and the three-tailed demon fox, which was countered by Zhou Yang's "God-Destroying Needle", seemed to feel the danger. The three long fox tails behind him suddenly stretched forward and wrapped their bodies.
Zhou Minghan's flying sword struck the fox's tail as if it had struck a flexible rubber tire. Not only did it not achieve any success, it was bounced away.
Fortunately, the flying sword was not Zhou Minghan's strongest attack. While he was using the flying sword to attack, he flicked his sleeve and threw a lavender fireball flashing with silver arcs towards the three-tailed demon fox.
He had used this move before when he killed the third-level low-level monster "Poisonous Fire Scorpion King", but at that time he had just been promoted to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment and was not yet proficient in mastering this move. He needed to prepare for a long time in advance.
Display it.
Now after decades of practice and research, and with his cultivation reaching the ninth level of foundation building, he can finally use this move in normal fighting.
Boom!
Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the three-tailed demon fox rushed out of the center of the explosion covered in fire.
But at this time, its three furry fox tails were already bare and naked, revealing black scorch marks that had been scorched. The scorch marks were stained with blood, and it was obvious that it had suffered serious injuries.
"Where can you go, monster!"
In the sky, Zhou Yang saw the three-tailed demon fox escaping and wanted to run away, but immediately stopped him with a flying sword.
He didn't know the consequences of letting the tiger return to the mountain, so naturally he wouldn't let the three-tailed demon fox escape like this.
However, it still underestimated the three-tailed demon fox's ability to escape.
I saw three bare fox tails behind the three-tailed demon fox in the sky swaying, and its body instantly split into three, turning into three demon foxes of different colors, blue, red and white, and fled in different directions at extremely fast speeds.
Zhou Yang initially thought that this was an illusion cast by the three-tailed demon fox. Two of the three demon foxes must be fake, or all three might be fake.
But when he concentrated all his consciousness and swept it towards the three demon foxes, he found that the three demon foxes were exactly the same in terms of breath, mana, and charm. The feeling of flesh and blood could not be caused by illusions!
It wasn't until he used his flying sword to decapitate one of the red demon foxes and looked at the fox's tail broken into two pieces on the ground that he suddenly realized what had happened to the three demon tigers just now.
