To advance is to die, and to retreat is also death.
How to choose? In fact, Cao Wenjin soon had the answer in his mind.
It's just that although he has made his choice, it is not easy to take that step.
After the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" was protected by the magic weapon refined by the Demon King, although it was still no match for Cao Wenjin, it greatly delayed its defeat.
By the time Cao Wenjin used all kinds of methods to finally break through the "Golden Horned Rhino"'s defense and cut off its head, nearly two hours had passed since the war started.
At this time, after two hours of fighting, the soul beasts transformed by Huang Shamen's "beast soul talismans" had already exhausted their soul power and were destroyed by the fourth-level monsters. The fourth-level puppet beasts inside were also destroyed due to the long battle.
The spiritual stone energy is close to being exhausted.
In order to hold back the other "Golden Horned Rhinoceros", both Li Zhengnan and the ancestors of the Chen family risked their lives regardless of the loss of vitality. Li Zhengnan even did not hesitate to use explosive secret techniques that had a great impact on lifespan.
When Cao Wenjin finally killed a "golden-horned rhinoceros" and came to support, the two men were already as pale as if they had been fished out of the water, with sweat all over their bodies.
But the two of them couldn't rest yet, because as the "Beast Soul Talisman" and some fourth-level puppet beasts gradually lost their effect, some fourth-level monsters had no opponents and began to help other companions to besiege Guo Shuyun, Luo Yunqing and other Zifu monks.
, even some Zifu monks from vassal families have fallen to the attacks of monsters.
"Did you finally succeed?"
Zhou Yang, who was hundreds of miles away, felt that the aura of the fifth-level monster behind him suddenly disappeared, and his heart that he had been holding on finally relaxed.
In any case, if a fifth-level demon beast dies, even if this expedition cannot be fully successful, it can still provide an explanation.
But not long after he relaxed, his expression suddenly changed again.
Because as two hours passed, the scattered third-order monsters finally began to rush back here in large numbers. In a short period of time, more than five third-order monsters came to his sight.
There are even two rare "fire rhino beasts" among them.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he quickly shouted to Huang Yi to meet the enemy.
Secretly, he sent a message to Huang Yi and gave the order to retreat first if the situation was not low.
Since the beginning of the war, the number of third-level monsters that have died under his sword has exceeded ten. This record is already very dazzling compared to his cultivation level.
Even if he is defeated and retreats at this time, he can pat his chest and say that he tried his best and is not afraid to confront anyone.
At the same time, after Cao Wenjin killed the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros", hundreds of thousands of miles away, on a sky-reaching peak deep in the Duanyun Mountains, a scaled demon bull with a body length of hundreds of feet suddenly opened its doors.
Two bull's eyes as big as a water tank looked in the direction of Rhinoceros Island.
"What's going on? Why did Brother Jinjiao's son's soul card suddenly break? Who killed it?"
"No, I must find out this matter. Brother Jinjiao was kind to me at the beginning. Although his son left my Duanyun Mountains with his spouse and tribe, he is still my nephew. I cannot let him die.
It’s unclear!”
The scale-armored demon bull looked in the direction of Rhinoceros Continent with glowing eyes and murmured to himself. The words that came out of his mouth turned out to be human language.
Coupled with the fact that it calls itself "my king", it is not difficult to guess its true identity.
This scaly demon bull is clearly a sixth-order demon king with the same magical powers as the Nascent Soul monks!
At this moment, after the scaly monster cow made up its mind to find out the death situation of the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros", Dang even opened its mouth and spit out a golden feather, murmured a few words to it, and then inspired the golden feather to turn it into a...
The golden light disappeared in front of him.
Only a quarter of an hour passed like this, when a golden stream of light suddenly descended from the sky and landed not far in front of the scaled demonic cow, revealing a golden giant eagle with a wingspan of thirty to forty feet.
After the golden giant eagle landed on the ground, it quickly folded its wings, lowered its head and bowed to the scale-armored demonic cow, and said in human words: "Jin Peng pays homage to the Fire Scale King. I don't know if the Fire Scale King has summoned Jin Peng to come."
What important matter do you want to give me?"
"Jin Peng, you owed me a favor by asking for two [Ling Qi Pills] for your descendants. Now it's time for you to repay the favor."
The "Fire Scale Demon King" with red scales all over his body stared at the golden giant eagle in front of him, and said in a deep voice as loud as thunder: "Now you go to the Boundless Sand Sea Rhinoceros Continent and give me some advice."
The king will investigate the death of the descendants of King Golden Horn, and if this matter does not involve other demon kings or human Nascent Soul monks, bring the murderer’s head back to me!”
"Jin Peng understands, and he will not disappoint the Fire Scale King!"
The giant golden eagle responded with a sharp voice, then spread its wings, and its body quickly turned into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing from the sight of the "Fire Scale Demon King".
"This golden-winged Lei Peng has been at the top level of the fifth level for many years. He is also the confidant of the [Mountain-Moving Demon King]. His strength is much stronger than that of ordinary human ninth-level golden elixir monks, and his speed is even faster.
Even this king has a hard time catching up, so I sent it to investigate this matter. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be worthy of the kindness of Brother Jinjiao!"
The "Fire Scale Demon King" looked at the direction where the golden giant eagle disappeared and murmured a few words, then looked back, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
After all, the "Golden Horned Demon King" has fallen for more than two thousand years. Even if he was kind to him, the "Firescale King", he paid back most of it when he helped his descendants move away from the Duanyun Mountains. Now this
The remaining kindness is not worth his own effort.
Of course, no one among the many human monks on Rhinoceros Continent knew about the scene that happened far away in the Duanyun Mountains.
The war on the Rhinoceros Continent, with the death of a "Golden Horned Rhinoceros", not only did not end, but became more intense.
Because of the death of his spouse, the remaining "golden-horned rhinoceros" went crazy and spit out the demon pill as a weapon to attack. Cao Wenjin was afraid of destroying the demon pill, so he could only use defensive fighting to consume it.
The head "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" mana.
And because of the death of the "king" of the clan, those fourth-level monsters were sad and fearful, but they were also full of hatred for the human monks who killed the clan king, and they also recklessly attacked everyone in sight.
A human monk who can see.
After the roars of these high-level monsters, filled with grief and anger, spread, they aroused the resonance and response of the third-order monsters.
For a time, the entire Rhinoceros Continent was in chaos.
All the monster beasts seemed to have been cast a "Beast Blood Fury" spell. With red eyes, they launched desperate attacks on the humans in sight. The crazy energy to bite people even if they risked their lives, even a murderer like Zhou Yang
People who had known how many monsters they knew were frightened when they saw it.
He killed one monster after another, and when his mana was less than 30%, he finally stopped blocking these monsters that were charging forward crazily.
He moved and quickly flew out of the sight of the monster. Then he dropped the sword light and landed on the ground. He used the "Golden Cicada Hidden Breath Technique" to converge his breath to the level of a Qi Practitioner, and successfully freed himself from the battle temporarily.
After leaving the battle, Zhou Yang thought for a moment and did not immediately hide and find a place to meditate to recover his mana. Instead, he walked in the direction where the two "Thunder Rhinoceros" came from earlier.
Cao Wenjin said before the expedition that everything obtained on Rhinoceros Continent this time can be taken back to himself. Now all the third-level monsters on the oasis are attracted here, and their lairs are empty. It is a good time to hunt for treasures.
.
If you wait until the war is completely over before going treasure hunting, if you find any good treasure, you may not be able to get it so easily.
Of course, he is definitely not the only monk who has this idea like Zhou Yang.
However, many monks have not mastered the secret breathing techniques such as the "Golden Cicada Breath Hiding Technique" like him, so they can only choose to escape through earth escape, or choose to fly around with a sword to take a detour.
These two methods certainly cannot completely avoid the eyes and ears of third-level monsters like him, so if you encounter monsters such as "Thunder Rhinoceros", whether you can escape successfully depends on your own ability and God's will.
Zhou Yang also traveled hundreds of miles and saw that the aura of the third-level monster was getting less and less, so he released the "Golden Cicada Hidden Breath Technique" and started flying with his sword.
He flew all the way, passing through several places where spiritual energy gathered, and did not stop until he found a valley with spiritual energy as rich as the third-level spiritual veins, and then he stopped with the light of his sword.
This valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. Judging from the topography, it is a geomantic treasure. The richness of spiritual energy in the valley is even stronger than that of Yuquan Peak in the Zhou family.
Such a treasure place where spiritual energy gathers, of course, is indispensable for monsters.
When Zhou Yang was in the sky, he saw several rhinoceros colonies living outside the valley, and in the valley there were more than a dozen second-level rhinoceros monsters gathering together and roaring uneasily.
When these rhinoceros monsters roared, their eyes frequently looked in the direction of the "Holy Mountain", obviously worried about the situation there.
When they discovered that he, a human monk with a powerful aura, had landed in the valley, the rhinoceros beasts, which were already in a state of nervousness and worry, exploded like firecrackers.
However, there were only a dozen firecrackers, and they exploded as soon as they exploded. It was impossible to hurt Zhou Yang at all.
After he released his flying sword and slaughtered all the dozens of rhinoceros monsters, he took the time to search the entire valley.
The place with the strongest aura in the valley is located in the southeast, where two third-level spiritual trees "Oak Thunder Wood" grow more than thirty feet high.
It can be seen from the two "Thunder Oak Trees" that the third-order monster beast that previously lived in this valley must be the "Thunder Rhinoceros Beast".
Generally, where such thunder-type monsters live, the surrounding ore and vegetation will be easily transformed into thunder-attribute minerals and spiritual trees after being promoted to spiritual beings because they are contaminated with their aura over time.
These thunder attribute minerals and spirit wood are excellent materials for refining thunder attribute magic weapons, formation disks, and formation flags, and their value is usually several times that of ordinary five element attribute minerals and spirit wood.
