The dead have passed away, but the living still need to bear the burden and move forward.
Zhou Yang released his flying sword and flew into the sky. He saw that survivors like himself were already flying towards the dead, as if they wanted to make a fortune.
After seeing this, his eyes flickered slightly for a while, but he still shook his head and did not follow suit.
I saw the sword light under his feet turning, and he immediately flew away from here.
Less than half a quarter of an hour after Zhou Yang left, Luo Yunqing, a monk from Huangshamen and Zifu who had escaped earlier, suddenly came back to kill him.
Luo Yunqing returned here and saw extremely angry looks in the eyes of those monks after they had made a fortune.
"You bastards, how long have you been thinking of making money from dead people? Since you like collecting corpses for others so much, I will collect corpses for you too!"
After he said these murderous words, he immediately released his flying sword to kill the foundation-building monks whose expressions changed greatly, and he did not even let go of several monks who also belonged to Huang Shamen.
After a while, except for a few seriously injured monks who did not participate in the body search, all the other people who had made money were killed by Luo Yunqing's sword.
After Luo Yunqing finished killing the people, he finally vented a lot of the anger and resentment in his heart. He looked at the survivors who were trembling and looking at him, his face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm just
Enforce the law impartially and eliminate the scum. As long as you don’t do anything evil, my sword will not fall on you!”
After saying that, he waved his hand with a sad expression and said: "Now that things have changed, just follow Uncle Cao's instructions and run away for your lives!"
Then he himself landed on the ground with sword light and collected the relics of the deceased.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the survivors changed slightly, and those who could move quickly escaped from here.
Of course Zhou Yang didn't know that so many things would happen after he left.
After he flew a certain distance, he suddenly stopped because he suddenly remembered that although Cao Wenjin asked them to escape and return to Huangshamen, it was nearly 300,000 miles from Xijiaozhou back to Huangshamen, and there was no map.
With reference to the situation, it is not easy for them, the foundation-building monks, to fly back on their own.
"It seems that the golden-winged thunder eagle did not pass by by chance, but came here specifically to avenge the two [Golden-horned Rhinoceros]. Otherwise, it would not have let the other Zifu monks go and directly pursued Patriarch Cao."
"And with the speed of the fifth-level high-grade Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, it actually arrived here nearly three days after the death of two [Golden-horned Rhinoceros]. This shows that its habitat must be far away from Rhinoceros Continent."
"In this case, whether it can kill Patriarch Cao or not, it means that it will not stay here for a long time. At least it will not occupy the magpie's nest and regard Rhinoceros Continent as its own place of practice!"
"Doesn't this mean..."
Zhou Yang looked up in one direction with twinkling eyes, which was the direction of the Lingshi mine sealed by Cao Wenjin.
Originally, after Cao Wenjin sealed the spirit stone mine, Zhou Yang thought that he had no chance of getting the high-grade spirit stones there, but now it seems that as long as he is braver, there seems to be hope.
He thought about it again and again, and finally decided to take the risk.
After all, this kind of opportunity to obtain high-grade spiritual stones does not come often. It is worth taking some risks for this kind of treasure.
With the decision made in his mind, he immediately flew towards the spirit stone mine with sword light.
Originally there were some Huangshamen monks stationed at the Lingshi Mine, but when Zhou Yang arrived here, he found that all the monks stationed there had disappeared.
He originally thought that all the monks stationed there had escaped, but when he landed on the ground and felt the faint vibration coming from the ground, he immediately understood that he was not the only smart person.
The importance of spirit stone mines to immortal cultivators is self-evident, but for monsters, at least until they advance to become sixth-level monster kings, spirit stones are of little use.
Monster beasts are different from cultivators. Although monster beasts also have magic power, they do not know how to practice true cultivation before the sixth level. They only rely on their natural talents to absorb spiritual energy to enhance their cultivation.
Therefore, immortal cultivators can quickly refine the spiritual power in spiritual stones and restore their mana through exercises, but monster beasts cannot. After their mana is consumed, they can only slowly recover through the passage of time.
In this case, the effect of spirit stones on monsters is very low. After all, they cannot use spirit stones as currency to buy spiritual objects from other monsters like immortal cultivators.
Therefore, even if the Golden Winged Thunder Eagle discovers the existence of the spirit stone mine, it may not care about it.
Zhou Yang understands this truth, but other immortal cultivators may not be unable to understand it.
Of course, the most important thing is that money touches people’s hearts!
As long as you dig up a high-grade spiritual stone, it is not impossible to exchange it for a foundation-building pill from Huang Shamen.
You can dig up the same treasure as the Foundation Establishment Pill with just your hands. Which Foundation Establishment monk would not be tempted?
Zhou Yang thought about this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he immediately identified the direction, walked to another place where there was no movement, opened a new mine, and started digging.
He had no intention of clashing with others in the spirit stone mine, he just wanted to mine quietly.
…
But it is said that since Cao Wenjin left in the clouds and mist, he plunged into the vast sea of sand outside Rhinoceros Island.
It's not like he didn't know what would happen if Li Zhengnan and others were left to face a fifth-level high-grade monster after he left.
But he knew one thing better. Even if he stayed to hold back the fifth-level high-grade monster, Li Zhengnan and others might survive, but he would definitely die!
At this point, with Cao Wenjin's wisdom, he still doesn't understand why that fifth-level high-grade monster came.
He must have come here because of the death of the two "golden-horned rhinoceros"!
The two "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" are just fifth-level low-grade monsters. Obviously, they are not worthy of the fifth-order high-grade monsters coming all the way to avenge them, so there must be a sixth-order monster king involved behind this.
And the fifth-level high-grade demon beast came over following the orders of the sixth-level demon king, and he would definitely not let him go easily. Cao Wenjin, the murderer who directly killed the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros".
Cao Wenjin was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that after his death, Huang Shamen completely gave up hope.
The demon elixir of the "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" is still on him, and Huang Shamen's inherited treasure "Sacred Sand Gourd" is also on him. If he dies at the hands of a fifth-level high-grade demon beast, all these things will be gone!
As for handing these things over to Li Zhengnan and others for safekeeping and taking away, Cao Wenjin never thought about it.
The reason why he brought Li Zhengnan and others to the expedition to Rhinoceros Continent this time, while leaving Zhang Yunpeng and Jiang Yuyan in charge of the sect, was already very clear.
If he handed over the demon pill and the inherited treasure to Li Zhengnan and others at this time, without his deterrence, would Li Zhengnan and others still obediently hand over the things to Zhang Yunpeng and Jiang Yuyan?
The result of this will eventually lead to the complete division of Huangshamen!
Therefore, Cao Wenjin knew that he could not die, at least not before he handed the things to his apprentice Jiang Yuyan!
But what Cao Wenjin never expected was that the monster beast that came to avenge the two "Golden Horned Rhinoceros" turned out to be a fifth-level high-grade monster known for its speed, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle!
Therefore, although he left nearly a quarter of an hour early, he was caught up by Jin Peng before he could escape far.
The Golden Winged Thunder Eagle is not only fast, but also has stronger combat power than many monsters of the same level. Moreover, the Golden Peng has extraordinary feet. It even has two fifth-level mid-grade magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, that the Demon King specially refined for it.
.
With these two magic weapons at his side, coupled with the golden-winged thunder eagle's talent for thunder spells, Cao Wenjin only fought with them for less than half a cup of tea before Jin Peng used the "Thunder Escape Technique" to bully him from behind and catch him.
A chunk of meat fell off.
Seeing this, Cao Wenjin immediately knew that he wouldn't be able to survive if he didn't work hard today!
As soon as he raised his hand, he took out a blue jade box and smashed it into pieces. Then he pinched a blood-colored elixir in the jade box with two fingers and threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
This blood-colored elixir is called "Blue Blood elixir", and it is an extremely rare fifth-level middle-grade elixir.
After taking the "Blue Blood Pill", monks in the golden elixir stage can temporarily increase their cultivation level by up to three levels. The price is that after the effect of the medicine wears off, their cultivation level will fall back one level, and they will not be able to advance even an inch within a hundred years!
Cao Wenjin is currently at the seventh level of the Golden Elixir. The effect of the "Blue Blood Pill" on him is not as good as it is on middle-stage Golden Elixir monks. However, after taking the "Blue Blood Pill", the mana aura in his body instantly surged to close to the eighth level of the Golden Elixir.
The level of the ninth level of golden elixir.
This result was what he expected, so after taking the "Blue Blood Pill", he immediately used an explosive secret technique that consumes life essence and blood, completely pushing his own cultivation to the ninth level of the Golden Pill!
Jin Peng, who was fighting with him, naturally saw the changes in Cao Wenjin's body.
It looked at Cao Wenjin, whose face was red as if he was exhausted due to the surge in his magic power, and a humanized look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It was impossible for Jin Peng not to be surprised that the character who could have been easily defeated now had his strength leveled with his own through external means.
However, it was surprised, but it didn't think that Cao Wenjin could escape from him like this. So after being surprised, it couldn't help but uttered strange words:
"Quack, I didn't realize that there are ruthless characters like you among human monks!"
"Taking potential-stimulating elixirs and using explosive secret techniques can certainly temporarily increase your strength to the same level as me, but how long can this kind of strength enhanced by external objects last?"
"Or do you think that if your strength has been raised to the ninth level of the Golden Core, you can help you defeat me?"
This was the first time Cao Wenjin heard Jin Peng speak human words after the battle.
When he saw this scene, he immediately knew that he might have underestimated the origin of the golden-winged thunder eagle in front of him.
