Red Fox Ridge was the name given to the third-level spiritual mountain above the new oasis after discussion between Zhou Yang and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
Naming Lingshan after the monster race that originally occupied Lingshan is also the practice for immortal cultivators to name the blessed land of Lingshan, including using the name of the immortal cultivator.
As for the name of the new oasis, it has not been named yet, and it is not urgent anyway.
However, it is said that after Zhou Yang left the Lingshan Mountain allocated to the Lu family and returned to Red Fox Ridge, he first asked the gryphon to take the Wind Shadow Leopard, who was locked up in a cave, to have fun on the oasis.
Then he took out the fourth-level low-level formation "Tianfeng Yunlei Formation" and the third-level high-level illusion formation "Mirage Cloud Wave Formation" that he bought in Xuanyang Pavilion and handed them to Zhou Guangxiang, and together with him, he arranged the two formations.
On Red Fox Ridge.
Whether it is the "Tianfeng Yunlei Formation" or the "Mirage Cloud Wave Formation", they are both more advanced than the "Ten Thousand Trees Qingtian Formation" arranged by the Zhou family on Yuquan Peak and the "Earth Spirit Xuangang Formation" on Haoyang Mountain.
high.
The higher the level of the formation, the stronger the power and the wider the coverage area.
The "Ten Thousand Trees Holding the Sky Formation" on Yuquan Peak can only cover the area from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, but after the two formations on Chihu Ridge are deployed, they can cover the entire main peak of the mountain.
Moreover, once these two formations are arranged, as long as there are more than three foundation-building monks in charge, even if the early-stage monks from the Zifu come to attack, they can still hold on for more than a day. If the monk from the Zifu-phase doesn't realize how powerful the formation is, he rushes in rashly.
If the formation is used, it may even be injured by the "Tianfeng Yunlei Formation".
After setting up the formation, Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Guangxiang and said: "Guangxiang, you will be practicing here for a long time in the future. Your sister Guang Xiang happens to be here too. Now you brothers and sisters go to the mountain to see where you think it is suitable to open a cave."
If you want to live, just open a cave to live in."
Zhou Guangxiang is an array master. If he is in charge here at Red Fox Ridge, it will be of great help in unleashing the power of the mountain-protecting formation. This is why Zhou Yang asked him to be in charge here.
In fact, according to Zhou Yang's plan, he will also ask his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, who is in charge of Haoyang Mountain, to come here to practice and live in seclusion.
Compared to the exposed Haoyang Mountain, Chihuling is undoubtedly more hidden and safer.
"My nephew understands."
Zhou Guangxiang didn't have any objections to Zhou Yang's arrangement. He had just succeeded in building the foundation and still had a lot to learn. Being able to quietly practice in seclusion here in Chihu Ridge was something he wished for.
After sending Zhou Guangxiang away, Zhou Yang took Taoist companion Xiao Ying's jade hand and pointed at the cave where the three-tailed demon fox previously lived and said: "Ying'er, that will be our permanent cave from now on. How you like to decorate the cave is up to you!"
"
Women have always had higher requirements for housing than men. When Xiao Ying heard that Zhou Yang asked her to open and decorate the cave herself, not only did Xiao Ying not have any unhappy thoughts, but she was very happy and carried the flying sword over to start construction.
At this time, there was no one who had arranged tasks on the Red Fox Ridge. The only ones who stayed here were Zhou Xuanzhao, Zhou Guangxiang and a few other monks in the Qi training period.
For these people, Zhou Yang directly issued orders and arranged work.
"Guangxiang and you spiritual planters first go and measure Lingshan to see where it is suitable to be developed into a spiritual field, and where it is suitable to be opened into a fruit orchard or medicine garden. After you have measured it, mark out the place and slowly open it up."
"Uncle Seventeen and Brother Fifteen, you two are coming with me to the Fire Bat Cave to see how to tame those flying fire bats!"
The Fire Bat Cave is located in a dark, dry shady mountain stream at the foot of Chihuling Mountain. This cave goes hundreds of feet underground. The entrance to the cave is a horizontal crack in the ground. The crack is about one foot wide and more than ten feet long. It is unknown whether it is natural.
It was formed by the creation of some kind of monster.
At this time, the entrance to the cave had been sealed off by Zhou Yang using the "Small Five Elements Tracing Formation". With the aura he deliberately left here, the flying fire bats inside did not dare to come out to check the situation for a short period of time.
After Zhou Yang rushed to the outside of the cave with his seventeenth uncle Zhou Xuanzhao and his fifteenth brother Zhou Yuanliang, two animal trainers, he did not remove the formation at the entrance of the cave. He only used the "Golden Cicada Hidden Breath Technique" to converge the breath to the early stage of foundation building.
level, and then cast a third-level defensive spell on each of them, and then led them into the cave.
The cave is very dark and does not use light jade lighting like the three-tailed demon fox's cave.
This is normal.
Bats are originally nocturnal animals and are born with dark vision. Although flying fire bats are not as afraid of the outside sunlight as ordinary bats, they definitely prefer dark environments by nature, which will make them feel safe.
In comparison, although immortal cultivators also have good night vision, in such a dark environment, they still need to use the "Sky Eye Technique" to see clearly the environment in the cave, even foundation-building cultivators like Zhou Yang are no exception.
Of course, with Zhou Yang's powerful spiritual consciousness, the entire Fire Bat Cave is covered by his spiritual consciousness. Even without the help of his eyes, he can clearly see all the arrangements inside.
In his spiritual sense, the Flying Fire Bats in the cave had obviously discovered that outsiders had entered, and they were all huddled in the Bat King's lair at the deepest part of the cave. They seemed to want to use the remaining aura of the Flying Fire Bat King to find a sense of security, but
Judging from their trembling and anxious looks, it is obvious that the effect of this is not as good as they imagined.
"Patriarch, we can collect the bat guano on the ground later. These are the best fertilizers in Lingtian. If the family's white jade grape saplings can use this material to increase fertilizer, the yield can be increased by at least 30%!"
The Fire Bat Cave was quiet, with only the footsteps of Zhou Yang and the others echoing. Due to the large amount of bat guano deposited in the cave, the sound made by the three people stepping on it was actually not loud.
At this time, when Zhou Yang heard what Uncle Seventeenth Zhou Xuanzhao said, he couldn't help but look down at the thick bat guano at his feet, and then nodded slightly with a twitch in his eyes and said: "Uncle Seventeenth is right, then this work will be done later."
Just leave it to you to take charge."
Zhou Xuanzhao originally gave the advice from a professional perspective, but he didn't expect Zhou Yang to say this. He couldn't help but blush, and muttered with embarrassment: "Well, let the juniors do this, let them
Develop the good habit of diligence and frugality from an early age!”
After all, he is one of the few remaining seniors of the Zhou family who are known as "Xuan". If he even collects feces and has to do it himself, where will he put his old face if word spreads!
"Well, then I'll leave it to Uncle Seventeen to arrange this later."
Zhou Yang suppressed his smile and nodded to let this uncle go.
Of course he knew that bat guano could be used as fertilizer, but how could he, a dignified foundation-building monk and the leader of the clan, talk about this while stepping on bat guano?
Zhou Xuanzhao was also engaged in the work of taming spiritual animals for a long time. When encountering matters related to his job, he forgot about the worldly ways. He instinctively wanted to consider things from the perspective of maximizing interests, but forgot about the situation.
After Zhou Yang's little joke reminder, of course he immediately understood what the problem was and responded quickly: "Don't worry, patriarch, I will definitely take care of this matter."
A few people talked and soon reached the depths of the Fire Bat Cave.
Squeak!
In the Fire Bat Cave, when Zhou Yang led Zhou Xuanzhao and Zhou Yuanliang to the deepest part of the cave, the flying fire bat huddled here could no longer restrain its frightened screams and attacked the three of them.
attack.
The Flying Fire Bat has only two attack methods, sonic attack and fire spell attack. As for its melee combat ability, it is almost negligible.
The flying fire bats in the fire bat cave are all underage. Except for the attacks of the four pregnant female flying fire bats, which are somewhat interesting, the attacks of the other flying fire bats are as if they are tickling Zhou Yang and the others.
However, Zhou Yang and the others did not expect that these flying fire bats were so hostile.
"Clan leader, let's leave first. I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed in the long run!"
Zhou Xuanzhao has been training animals for many years. When he saw this situation, he immediately suggested that Zhou Yang leave first, so as not to disturb the bat group and cause greater irritation to the bat group.
Although Zhou Yang has a third-level high-grade monster mount called the Gripen, he is a real layman when it comes to animal training. Now that he heard the advice from a professional like Zhou Xuanzhao, he immediately nodded obediently and led the two of them out of the fire bat.
Hole.
After the three of them exited the Fire Bat Cave and cleaned off the dirt on their shoes, Zhou Xuanzhao looked at Zhou Yang with a stern face and said: "Clan Chief Mingjian, based on my experience in animal training, those underage Flying Fire Bats,
I'm afraid the chance of domestication is low, so I suggest that the bat groups be domesticated separately, and that the four pregnant flying fire bats be isolated separately first, and then domesticate the cubs after they give birth."
"As for those underage flying fire bats, you can try to catch them one by one and tame them individually. Even if they fail to be tamed, you can first keep them in the fire bat cave to breed."
When Zhou Yang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuanliang, another animal trainer of the Zhou family who had never spoken, and asked: "Where are you, fifteenth brother? Do you have any different suggestions?"
"I also agree with Uncle Seventeen's proposal of differentiated domestication, but I suggest that if the Flying Fire Bat is to be captured, it is best not to be captured by us cultivators ourselves, as that will cause the Flying Fire Bat to have a greater impact on us cultivators.
Resistance."
"It just so happens that the flame-eating spiders domesticated by our Zhou family can complete this task. The webs spewed by the adult flame-eating spiders are definitely not something that the underage flying fire bats can break free from, and even the four female flying fire bats whose strength has been reduced after pregnancy
, it will be difficult to break free even for a while.”
"If the Flame-Eating Spider captures the Flying Fire Bat and brings it out, and then our animal trainers rescue it personally, it will be very helpful for the subsequent domestication work."
Zhou Yuanliang thought for a while and whispered his suggestion.
His suggestion was undoubtedly very effective. Even if Zhou Yang didn't know how to train animals, he could still tell that this suggestion made sense.
After Zhou Xuanzhao heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful, Yuan Liang's words make sense. Use the flame-eating spider to suppress the flying fire bat, and use the monster beast to control the monster beast. This is the senior beast tamer."
