Although the "Five Elements Life and Death Sword Formation" contains the word "Five Elements" in its name, it actually does not need to be composed of five flying swords with five elements attributes.
Because the five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering, metal can generate water, water can generate wood, wood can generate fire, fire can generate earth, and earth can generate metal, and the cycle continues.
Therefore, even five metallic flying swords can still form the "Five Elements Life and Death Sword Formation".
The real core mystery of this sword array is actually the word "life and death".
The five elements coexist with each other, resulting in strong defensive capabilities. External forces can be removed through the rotation of the five elements, making the sword formation less likely to be broken by external forces.
The five elements are in conflict with each other, resulting in powerful attack and destructive capabilities. As long as the enemy has the attributes of the five elements, it will need to withstand the additional damage from the sword array.
Although the attribute of "Thunder Rhinoceros" is thunder, the thunder attribute is originally mutated from the wood attribute, and it still cannot escape the scope of the Five Elements.
So when Zhou Yang directly formed a "Five Elements Life and Death Sword Formation" to kill, the "Thunder Rhinoceros" repeated its old trick and released a stream of thunder on the flying sword. In addition to slightly weakening the sword's light,
Besides, the entire sword array can no longer be shaken even a little bit.
Seeing this happen, the "Thunder Rhinoceros" couldn't help flashing a trace of panic in its big-fisted bull eyes, and quickly growled and called for help from its mate.
Hearing his spouse's cry for help, the other "Thunder Rhinoceros" also quickly released thunder and lightning towards the sword array. However, as soon as it released the spell, a green and red light beam slammed into it, knocking it away on the spot.
Got out.
However, after hearing the master's order, the gryphon directly released its trump card and joined the battle.
At the same time, Huang Yi also took advantage of the opportunity when the "Thunder Rhinoceros" was knocked to the ground by the Gripen. He quickly released the third-level low-grade earth spell "Rock Cage" and knocked the fallen beast to the ground.
"Thunder Rhinoceros" was trapped in it.
Without the interference of this "Thunder Rhinoceros Beast", the attack of that "Thunder Rhinoceros Beast" alone could no longer shake Zhou Yang's "Five Elements Life and Death Sword Formation" at all.
At this time, the shortcoming of the thunder attribute that is good at attack but not at defense also appeared. Facing the fierce attacks of five flying swords, the "Thunder Rhinoceros" not only used offense instead of defense to continuously release various thunder spell attacks, but also
There is no protective spell blessing at all.
When the sword array comes close to its body, its death will come.
Five rays of sword light flew up and down against the "Thunder Rhinoceros" body, tearing its body apart and piercing its heart in a short while.
Next, Zhou Yang followed the same pattern and killed another "Thunder Rhinoceros".
Because the "Thunder Rhinoceros Beast" is a relatively rare thunder monster and a third-level high-grade monster, this time Zhou Yang did not only take rhino horns and rhinoceros skins as before.
I saw him put his hand into his arms and directly took out a jade bottle magic weapon to collect most of the demon blood on the two "Thunder Rhinoceros". At the same time, he took out their bones and eyes and put them into the storage bag.
, in the end, only the meat was left, and the gryphon was eaten to its fullest on the spot.
Speaking of which, he bought the jade bottle magic weapon that collects demon blood when he was in Zhenyue Immortal City.
The monks in the immortal world of Liuyun Continent have rich experience in hunting monsters, and they have specially refined many magical weapons that are helpful in disposing of the corpses of monsters.
For example, the jade bottle magic weapon used by Zhou Yang to store the blood of monsters this time seems to be only the size of an ordinary medicine bottle, but in fact the space inside is enough to hold a three-foot-square liquid, and it also has a fresh-keeping function and can be stored inside.
The monster's blood will not deteriorate for several months.
Unfortunately, this object, like the storage bag and the spirit beast bag, is a space magic weapon and cannot be carried in a storage bag. Otherwise, he would have bought dozens of them and brought them back to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality and resell them for profit.
As Huang Yi was the one who contributed, Zhou Yang was not stingy this time and took out a rhinoceros horn that he had collected earlier and threw it to him as a reward for his action.
This rhinoceros horn is a third-level spiritual object and can be used to refine third-level magic weapons and medicines to make elixirs. Each one is worth thousands of spiritual stones. Zhou Yang used this item as a reward for Huang Yi's attack, which is definitely not a small amount.
Huang Yi himself is also very satisfied with this, and it can even be said to be an unexpected surprise.
He originally thought that this time he would be like the previous battles, working in vain, and in the end he would only collect some monster blood and meat that Zhou Yang didn't like, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yang would even collect rhino horns, a precious third-level spirit.
I was willing to give him things.
Seeing the look on Huang Yi's face, Zhou Yang naturally knew what he was thinking, so he looked at him with deep meaning and said: "You are a smart man. As long as you follow our Zhou family well from now on, be honest and obedient, and stop playing tricks."
Be careful, our Zhou family will never treat you badly just because you signed a blood contract!"
Huang Yi's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly saluted and said: "Huang Yi understands, thank you clan leader for the reward."
As for whether he really understands it, only he knows.
Zhou Yang didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Anyway, Huang Yi was bound by a blood contract and couldn't cause any trouble.
And as time goes by, when he discovers that staying in the Zhou family has many benefits, he will naturally understand what to do.
Killing the two "Thunder Rhinoceros" cost Zhou Yang a lot of mana. In addition to the mana consumed in previous battles, his mana is now less than 60% of what it was at its peak.
In this case, he could only take out a medium-grade spiritual stone to absorb the spiritual power and restore his mana, while secretly thinking about his retreat.
"The two [Golden Horned Rhinoceros] seem to be just fifth-level low-grade monsters. It stands to reason that when Cao Wenjin went all out, he shouldn't have been able to kill one of them for so long. Why is the spiritual energy fluctuation there still so violent now?"
"We can't delay this time. The longer we delay, the easier it will be for the [Golden-horned Rhinoceros] that Li Zhengnan and Chen Yaohui are fighting against to defeat them. If they join their spouses, if the two fifth-level monsters work together, Cao Wenjin wants to kill the monster.
It’s even more impossible to get the elixir!”
"The fourth-level monsters are also a threat. Although Huang Shamen's fourth-level puppet beasts are powerful, there will always be a moment when their energy is exhausted, and the soul beasts transformed by the [Beast Soul Talisman] cannot fight for a long time. When this happens,
If both methods are ineffective, just two or three fourth-level monsters that appear randomly will cost the lives of us foundation-building monks!"
Although Zhou Yang is quite proud of his own strength, he is not arrogant. He clearly knows how big the gap is between himself and the Zifu Stage monks and fourth-order monsters.
The so-called invincibility in the foundation building stage is nothing but a joke in the eyes of monks in the purple mansion stage or fourth-level monsters.
Take the "Thunder Rhinoceros" he just killed as an example. If it were replaced by the fourth-order "Thunder Rhinoceros" he saw at the beginning, the opponent only needs to release a few fourth-order thunder spells, and he would use all his trump cards.
There is only a side dish.
Even if he were to switch to the fourth-level "Iron-Armored Rhinoceros" with weak long-range attack capabilities, he would not be an opponent, because his flying sword could not break through the defense of the fourth-level "Iron-Armored Rhinoceros" at all, and the opponent who had already mastered the ability to fly would not be able to defeat him.
But it was able to crush him and send him flying all over the sky.
So if a fourth-level monster really came out from behind, Zhou Yang would have no other choice but to run for his life.
But Zhou Yang didn't know that Cao Wenjin was unable to advance or retreat now, and he was secretly complaining in his heart.
In fact, Huang Shamen discovered Rhinoceros Island not long ago, less than five hundred years, and he did not know much about the situation here. He only knew that it was a difficult bone to chew.
So at the beginning, even though Huang Shamen had Jiang Ming, the second golden elixir stage monk, he never thought of taking the risk of losing both sides to bite this hard bone.
It wasn't until he handed it over that Cao Wenjin realized that this was not just a piece of hard bone, it was clearly a lump of iron!
Yes, the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" is only a fifth-level low-grade monster. Logically speaking, it cannot be the opponent of Cao Wenjin in the late Jindan period.
This was indeed the case originally.
Under the attack of Cao Wenjin's "Sacred Sand Gourd" and several fifth-level magic weapons, the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" he fought with quickly suffered serious injuries.
But before Cao Wenjin could be happy about this, the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" suddenly spit out a light golden bone ring magic weapon and put it on his nostrils. Then with the help of this bone ring magic weapon, he forcibly erased the "black evil spirit".
Damage caused by "Sacred Sand".
This is not the first time Cao Wenjin has seen the magical weapon used to control monsters.
But the significance of this incident was enough to make him change his mind.
You must know that among the monsters, only the sixth-level demon kings know how to refine magic weapons, and the high-level magic weapons refined by these sixth-level demon kings are often only given to their descendants and a few of their more trustworthy subordinates.
Although the bone ring magic weapon currently used by "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" is only a fifth-level low-grade weapon in terms of grade, the appearance of this magic weapon shows that it must have some connection with the sixth-level demon king.
Either he is a descendant of a certain sixth-level demon king, or he is a trusted subordinate of the demon king.
Cao Wenjin originally just wanted to kill monsters and obtain elixirs to preserve the sect's inheritance, but he never thought that he would provoke monsters related to the sixth-order monster king!
This discovery really made him feel so miserable that he couldn't express it!
Huangshamen is already facing the danger of losing its inheritance. If it provokes another sixth-level demon king, it will be difficult for it not to be destroyed!
But now that things have come to this, even if he wants to stop and retreat, he can't.
In order to succeed in this expedition to Rhinoceros Continent, he has already used up the good reputation that Huang Shamen has maintained for a long time, and even used up the treasures at the bottom of the sect's treasure chests such as the fourth-level puppet beast.
If you retreat without finding anything, Huang Shamen will really be hopeless!
The most important thing is that when things have reached this point, he can no longer withdraw if he wants to.
The two "golden-horned rhinoceros" will never forget this grudge just because he retreated. If there is really a sixth-level demon king behind them, looking back, I am afraid that the oasis where Huang Shamen is located will be attacked by an army of demon beasts.
If you advance in this way, you may offend the sixth-level demon king, and if you retreat, you may offend the sixth-level demon king. It is not difficult to understand how bad Cao Wenjin's mood is at this moment.
