The red flame giant tiger and the white-feathered monster bird are both fifth-level mid-level monsters. Even when they are at their peak, it is not difficult for Zhou Yang to deal with them one-on-one.
But now, after a night of fighting, the strength of the two monsters is no longer 70% as strong as when it was at its peak. Even if they join forces to fight against the enemy, the strength they display is equivalent to that of a fifth-level high-grade monster.
In fact, because they only wanted to devour the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus], the two monster beasts had no intention of fighting Zhou Yang to the death.
Here, Zhou Yanggang slashed the red flame giant tiger with a knife, and over there, the white-feathered demon bird took this opportunity to flutter its wings and pounce on the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], without any intention of rescuing the red flame giant tiger.
But as soon as it reached the halfway point, Zhou Yang, who was guarding the sky above the blood pool, waved his fists and instantly shot out two green-gold dragon shadows that hit it, forcing it to fly away.
After being repelled and injured several times by Zhou Yang, the two monsters finally restrained their thoughts of taking advantage of themselves and running away. After exchanging a few words with each other, they officially joined forces to launch a fierce attack on Zhou Yang.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang was not afraid at all. Instead, he used the two demonic beasts as whetstones to sharpen his own, either punching hard, using magical weapons, or using magical powers. All kinds of magical methods took turns to attack them.
The two monster beasts greeted each other.
When he gets to the point of fighting, he will even compete with the red flame giant tiger in terms of physical strength, punching the tiger's claws with his iron fist, and not caring even if he is injured as a result.
While Zhou Yang was fighting two fifth-level monsters, the two spiritual birds, the golden-winged thunder eagle and the colorful peacock, obeyed his orders and began to hunt the fourth-order monsters that had not dispersed around the battlefield.
They are all extremely talented divine horses, and they have obtained many benefits from their respective masters that are difficult to obtain by ordinary wild beasts. Their combat power is much stronger than those of the same level of beasts and savages.
Back then, in the boundless snowfield, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle fought against a pack of wolves alone. Not only did it not suffer any damage to itself afterwards, it also killed a dozen third-level [frost giant wolves] and a fourth-level demon wolf.
Its performance today is no worse than that day.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the first fourth-level mid-level bull demon was killed by it. Then, according to Zhou Yang's instructions, after pecking out the demon pill, he picked up the body of the bull demon and threw it into the blood pool.
.
After doing all this, it provocatively let out an eagle roar at the colorful peacock, seeming to mock the opponent for being too weak.
Then, without waiting for the colorful peacock, whose feathers on its head were standing up in anger, to respond, it spread its wings and pounced on another fourth-level high-grade bear demon again.
When the colorful peacock saw this scene, he could only let out an angry roar and vent all his anger on the fourth-level high-grade lizard demon he had chosen.
A quarter of an hour later, it finally killed the lizard demon, dug out the demon pill and threw the lizard demon's body into the blood pool.
But at this time, the golden-winged thunder eagle was about to kill the bear demon.
Seeing this situation, the colorful peacock could only angrily kill a fourth-level mid-level wolf monster that was about to run away.
Zhou Yang naturally saw the hunting competition between the two spiritual birds.
He was happy to see this happen and couldn't get it.
It just so happened that he hadn't decided who to give the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] to in the end. If these two spiritual birds competed in this hunting competition, he would have a perfect reason to give the spiritual object to Victory.
used by.
With the corpses of several fourth-level monsters thrown in, and nourished by the blood of the two fifth-level monsters injured by Zhou Yang, the lotus seeds on the bloody red lotus also became larger visibly to the naked eye.
Even when Zhou Yang's nose twitched, he could smell the fragrance emanating from the lotus seeds.
The fragrance was very unique. After Zhou Yang smelled it, he felt that the blood in his body was agitated, as if there was a fire burning.
After the two demonic beasts, the red flame giant tiger and the white-feathered demonic bird, smelled this strange phenomenon, they felt as if they had taken some powerful tonic. Their spirits suddenly became extremely high, and their offensive became much fiercer.
This change made Zhou Yang secretly frightened, and at the same time, he became more determined to make the lotus seeds mature.
In order for the lotus seeds to mature, the two fifth-level monsters, the red flame giant tiger and the white-feathered monster bird, are undoubtedly the key. Only by killing them and nourishing the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] with their flesh and blood essence can the lotus seeds be fully matured.
Zhou Yang originally fought with the two demonic beasts. Not only because he wanted to use the hands of the two demonic beasts to hone his fighting ability, but also because the two demonic beasts still retained most of their strength. If he showed a crushing power, it would be very difficult for him to do so.
You may scare him away, or you may explode your demon pill in desperation to fight him.
But now, the strange fragrance of the lotus seeds seemed to have confused the minds of the two fifth-level monsters.
Zhou Yang could see clearly that after the fragrance of lotus seeds appeared, although the two monsters were very excited as if they had taken a tonic, the intelligence and agility in their eyes was quickly disappearing, and they were gradually replaced by their animalistic instincts.
dominated by.
This way, he doesn't have to worry about the two monster beasts escaping, because monster beasts controlled by their animalistic instincts will never give up on a spiritual object like the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus].
"It's time to end this game!"
After muttering to himself, he sharpened his eyes and boldly launched his special move.
A shocking dragon roar was heard, and a blue-gold dragon roared out from behind Zhou Yang, and rushed in front of the white-feathered monster bird in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, white feathers were flying all over the sky, and pieces of white feathers were flying along with pieces of bloody meat. The huge body of the white-feathered demon bird was torn into several pieces by the blue-gold dragon, and crashed to the ground below.
Whoosh!
A platinum-gold demon pill shot out from the corpse of the fallen demon bird, and a blood shadow of a demon bird appeared above it, whining, taking the demon pill in its mouth and trying to escape.
But as soon as it flew not far away, it was taken into a golden pagoda.
Zhou Yang took away the demon elixir of the white-feathered demon bird, waved his hand, and several fifth-level spiritual talismans shot out from his hand, transforming into various spells and blasting towards the oncoming red flame giant tiger.
He has killed many Golden Core monks over the years, and has thirty or forty fifth-level spiritual talismans in his hand. Although more than half of them were placed in the Zhou family's secret treasury and given to several disciples and juniors, he
I still have a dozen of them in my hand for backup.
At this time, he knocked out nearly half of the fifth-level spiritual talisman in his hand, instantly sending the red flame giant flying and seriously injuring him.
Then, before the seriously injured Red Flame Giant Tiger had any chance to breathe, a spear shining with purple fire suddenly fell from the sky and penetrated directly from the back of its neck into its brain.
Ouch!
The red flame giant tiger raised its head and glared at the tiny human opposite, let out a roar full of unwillingness and reluctance, and then the huge tiger body crashed to the ground.
Boom!
The red flame giant tiger, which was dozens of feet long, fell from the air to the ground. The ground suddenly felt like it was hit by a meteorite. There was a huge earthquake and a huge crater with a width of 100 feet was formed downwards.
And until it died, the red flame giant tiger's huge tiger eyes were still open and glaring at the sky, and its unwillingness to die and its unrelenting attachment to life could still be seen in its eyes.
Apparently, after the "Fire Sun Burning Heart Spear" penetrated into the back of the neck, and under the effect of the "soul-burning" attached to the magical weapon, the red flame giant tiger's mind was briefly restored to normal after being confused by the fragrance of lotus seeds.
It's a pity that it can no longer escape or fight Zhou Yang at this time, so it can only use its remaining strength to sing the last song of its life.
In the sky, Zhou Yang looked at this scene and was slightly moved.
This was the first time that he felt such tragic and unyielding meaning in a monster beast. The final song of the red flame giant tiger made him feel the tragic feeling of a hero's end.
This red-flamed giant tiger was once a strong man who roamed this wild mountain range, and was a king who controlled all the monsters.
However, due to the appearance of the [Ancient Demon Blood Lotus], the king and the demons in his territory were forced to be involved in this bloody battle like a meat grinder.
Many of the various monster beasts that were slaughtered before came from its territory.
It does not hesitate to kill its own men to nourish the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus], and wants to devour this spiritual object to help it go further.
No matter how God's will plays the devil, no matter how hard it strives for it, the gap in strength still makes all its efforts in vain, and even takes its own life.
"Sure enough, all things have spirits. I didn't expect that a mere monster could have such a touching performance!"
Zhou Yang sighed softly, and was indeed a little shocked by the tragic and unyielding meaning of the Red Flame Giant Tiger.
But this shock was not enough to make him change his decision.
Therefore, after mourning for a while in front of the body of the Red Flame Giant Tiger, he made a move and reached out to recall the "Scorching Sun Burning Heart Spear" that had sunk into the head of the Red Flame Giant Tiger. Then he took out the demon pill and put the corpse together with the previous one.
The remains of the white-feathered demon bird were thrown into the pool of blood.
Goo-goo-goo!
The water in the blood pool surged and soon swallowed the huge bodies of the two monster beasts.
Then, under Zhou Yang's expectant gaze, the lotus seeds on the bloody red lotus quickly became plump and mature.
Done!
Zhou Yang looked at the plump and swollen lotus seeds on the lotus pod, and finally a heartfelt smile of joy appeared on his face.
There are seventeen lotus seeds in total, each one is as big as an egg, and the color is purple-red, as attractive as a ripe grape.
It took a lot of effort for him to move his eyes away from the seventeen lotus seeds, and then his eyes fell on the two spiritual birds around him that were about to move, and he slowly said: "Just now you two were hunting monsters.
To nourish this [Ancient Demonic Blood Lotus] in the blood pool, Jinpeng invested a total of three demonic beasts, Cai'er you only invested two demonic beasts, now I will give this spiritual thing to Jinpeng for consumption, Cai'er, are you convinced?"
Cai'er is the nickname given to the colorful peacock by Jiang Fengxian, and Zhou Yang also used this nickname to call it.
When he heard his words, the golden-winged thunder eagle suddenly let out a roar of joy, glanced at the colorful peacock with a proud look, quickly jumped out towards the bloody red lotus, and opened its mouth to devour the blooming petals.
When the colorful peacock saw this, although his eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, he did not make any move. He just turned his head away from the scene and silently responded to Zhou Yang's words.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile, knowing that this beautiful big bird was still a little unconvinced.
But it doesn't matter. After the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle is promoted to the fifth-level monster, this proud colorful peacock will no longer be able to fight with it, and the two spiritual birds will naturally stop causing trouble.
What Zhou Yang and Colorful Peacock didn't expect was that after eating about two-thirds of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] petals, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle suddenly stopped eating, then raised its claws to grab the remaining petals and broke them off.
, and threw it to the colorful peacock.
After doing all this, Zhou Yang, through the [Demon Soul Contract] he signed with him, received the idea conveyed by the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle to enter the spirit beast ring and sleep.
After seeing this, he was slightly stunned, then he shook the spirit beast ring in his hand with a smile on his face, and put the golden-winged thunder eagle in it.
Then he looked at the colorful peacock looking confusedly at the petals of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] on the ground, smiled slightly and said: "You see, although Jin Peng has a bit of a naughty temper, his nature is not bad, and he has reserved a special portion for you.
Don’t fight with it anymore, let’s get along well with each other!”
When the colorful peacock heard what he said, he opened his mouth and let out a low sound of unknown meaning. He didn't know whether he agreed with his words or was noncommittal.
But judging from the fact that it subsequently pecked off those [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] petals, it was obvious that it had accepted the kindness of the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle.
After eating the remaining third of the petals, the colorful peacock looked up at the remaining lotus pods, or to be precise, the lotus seeds on the lotus pods.
It looked at those plump purple lotus seeds, suddenly extended its paws and gestured at Zhou Yang, and finally left two paws to hook.
"You want two lotus seeds?"
Zhou Yang frowned slightly, already understanding the meaning through the movements of the colorful peacock.
To be honest, he still doesn't know what the use of those lotus seeds is, but judging from the consumption of two fifth-level monster beasts and the corpses of a fifth-level savage beast in the process of cultivating the lotus seeds, these lotus seeds are obviously more precious spiritual beings than petals.
things.
The colorful peacock now stretches out its claws to take away two lotus seeds. Even with Zhou Yang's majesty, he is a little reluctant to give up at this time.
The key is that he doesn't know what the colorful peacock wants from the lotus seeds.
If he just wanted to have a taste, wouldn't he have suffered a big loss?
So after hesitating for a moment, he looked at the colorful peacock with a serious face and asked, "Can you tell me what you want the lotus seeds for?"
When the colorful peacock heard what he said, he immediately opened his mouth and screamed at the spirit beast ring on his wrist.
Seeing this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "You mean, as long as you swallow two more lotus seeds, you can advance to the fifth level?"
In the spirit beast ring on his wrist, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle was sleeping and digesting the medicinal power of the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] to reach the fifth level. The performance of the colorful peacock at this time forced him to make this inference.
And the fact was just as he had inferred. After hearing his words, the colorful peacock nodded repeatedly and looked at him with eyes full of expectation.
"Okay, then I'll give you two lotus seeds."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, raised his hand, and cast a burst of magic power on the lotus. Then he took out two lotus seeds and hit them at the colorful peacock, which swallowed them in one gulp.
After swallowing the lotus seeds, the colorful peacock nodded to him with gratitude in his eyes, and then got into the other spiritual beast ring in his hand and fell asleep.
He didn't know how long it would take for the two spiritual birds to advance to the fifth level. Zhou Yang didn't wait where he was. He directly raised his hand to pick off the lotus pods in the blood pool and kept them in a jade box, and then left the valley basin to search the whole place.
There are spiritual mountains everywhere in this mountain range.
In order for the [Demon Blood Ancient Lotus] to mature, most of the monsters and beasts in this mountain range were used as its nutrients, and the various spiritual objects that these monsters and beasts originally guarded have now become ownerless.
Completely let Zhou Yang collect it.
He searched the entire mountain range for three days and three nights, harvesting seven fifth-level elixirs, more than forty fourth-level elixirs, thousands of third-level elixirs, and also found many monster eggs.
, which even includes two eggs of level four demon birds.
In addition, in the lair of the red flame giant tiger, Zhou Yang also found a large piece of [Flame Star Stone] weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
This [Flaming Star Stone] is a fire-attribute spiritual mineral that can be used to refine a fifth-level spiritual gold [Flaming Star Iron], and [Flaming Star Iron] is one of the best materials for refining fifth-level pill furnaces and tripods.
one.
Zhou Yang has also obtained many fifth-level magic weapons over the years, but he has never obtained one of such precious items as the fifth-level alchemy furnace and the fifth-level weapon cauldron.
The appearance of this [Flame Star Stone] gave him hope.
Based on the size of the [Flaming Star Stone] in his hand, after refining it, he can obtain at least several hundred kilograms of [Flaming Star Iron], which is enough to refine a fifth-level tripod or alchemy furnace.
With these rich harvests, Zhou Yang embarked on the road of return with satisfaction.
Half a year later, he returned to Chongxuan Mountain in a low-key manner.
"Husband, you are finally back!"
On Chongxuan Mountain, when Xiao Ying saw Zhou Yang returning safely, she welcomed him into the cave with a smile on her face as if she were seeing her backbone.
"What's wrong? Looking at you, Yinger, could it be that something happened during the year I left?"
In the cave, Zhou Yang sat down at the table and remembered the sad look on his face before seeing him, so he couldn't help but ask about it.
When Xiao Ying heard what he said, her pretty face froze, she looked at him solemnly and nodded gently: "Husband, you are right, there is indeed a difficult matter that I cannot make the decision, and you need to deal with it."
It turned out that half a year after Zhou Yang left, middle and low-level monks began to frequent the mountains and forests around Chongxuan Mountain to hunt monsters and collect elixirs. Some bold ones even entered within a hundred miles of Chongxuan Mountain.
Xiao Ying asked Wang Yanzhang to go out and investigate and found that the monks who entered the territory of Chongxuan Mountain were mostly monks from various vassal cultivating families of the "Six Paths Alliance" in Anguo. Only a few of them came to fish in troubled waters when they saw a profit.
of casual cultivators.
This is undoubtedly a danger signal.
You must know that since Zhou Yang's pseudonym "Qingyun Sanren" took over Chongxuan Mountain, very few people from the "Six Paths Alliance" have set foot within a thousand miles of Chongxuan Mountain.
Now, monks from various vassal cultivating families who are attached to the "Six Paths Alliance" have begun to set foot here, and openly hunt and kill the monsters that live in the territory, and pick the wild elixirs in the territory. This is undoubtedly a provocation and temptation.
Faced with this kind of provocation and temptation, Xiao Ying couldn't make up her mind on what to do when Zhou Yang was not at home.
It's no wonder that when Zhou Yang first came back and saw her, he looked sad.
At this time, after Zhou Yang listened to her story, his expression changed slightly, then he pondered for a moment, then looked at her and asked, "Have you informed Senior Qingyang of this matter?"
Xiao Ying heard the words and immediately nodded in response: "I have informed you, but it is said that Senior Qingyang is currently practicing in seclusion. Unless the [Six Paths Alliance] really comes to attack in a big way, Xuanyang Immortal Sect will not dare to attack him easily."
The old man woke up from seclusion, so the answer he gave us was to decide what to do!"
"Is that so?"
Zhou Yang frowned slightly and couldn't help but lower his head and began to think deeply.
After a long time passed like this, he relaxed his brows and nodded gently: "My husband knows how to deal with this matter. Ying'er, please don't care about this matter. The fifth-level [Tree Demon's Heart] has been given to my husband."
You come here, and then you can concentrate on practicing the art of refining weapons to prepare for refining your natal magic weapon."
"I understand, husband, you should be more careful yourself. If it doesn't work, it's not impossible for us to give up on rushing to Xuanshan and return to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality."
Xiao Ying nodded gently and did not ask him how to deal with it. She just expressed her own opinion with a worried look on her face.
Regarding her statement, Zhou Yang was noncommittal.
Returning to the boundless sea of sand to cultivate immortality is the worst of the worst.
Even if Zhou Yang gave up rushing to Xuan Mountain, he could still ask Xuanyang Immortal Sect to arrange another spiritual mountain for him to practice. How could he be willing to retreat to the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality in such disgrace?
What's more, in his opinion, this matter has not yet reached that serious level.
Next, Xiao Ying naturally went into seclusion in the weapon refining room to learn the art of weapon refining to lay the foundation for refining her natal magic weapon.
But Zhou Yang quickly called all the foundation building disciples on the mountain together.
Including Ye Yunshan, who had just successfully built the foundation, there were seven foundation building monks on Chongxuan Mountain, namely Zhou Ronghua, Zhou Rongxiang, Zhou Shengying, Li Qingyun, Ren Fei, Wang Yanzhang, and Ye Yunshan.
Among them, Zhou Ronghua, who has the highest level of cultivation, is already at the third level of foundation building, while Ye Yunshan, who has the lowest level of cultivation, has only succeeded in building the foundation for less than three months and has not yet completed the transformation of techniques.
At this time, Zhou Yang called all these people in front of him, glanced at the seven people, looked directly at a few people and asked: "You should have heard about the situation outside the mountain now, as I am rushing
Disciples of Xuanshan, let me ask you, do you have the courage to fight those invaders?"
After hearing his words, the expressions of the seven people all changed.
The three foundation-building monks of the Zhou family were okay. They knew that Zhou Yang, the ancestor of the Zhou family, would definitely not let the younger generations of the family die, so although they were worried, they were still calm.
But Li Qingyun and Ren Fei, two registered disciples from loose cultivator backgrounds, could not hide their panic, their eyes flickered and they did not dare to look at Zhou Yang.
But the person with the best performance is Wang Yanzhang, who has been ridiculed by others for "eating soft food".
After listening to Zhou Yang's words, this person quickly bowed his hands and replied: "I am willing to fight to the death for my master!"
Zhou Yang's face immediately showed an appreciative smile.
Zhou Ronghua and other three Zhou family monks heard Wang Yanzhang's words and saw the smile on Zhou Yang's face. They finally understood it and quickly followed up: "I am willing to fight to the death for my master!"
When Li Qingyun and Ren Fei saw this, even though they were extremely frightened, they could only bite the bullet and say the same thing.
As for Ye Yunshan, she doesn't need to say anything more. As Xiao Ying's direct disciple, if Zhou Yang orders her, she will definitely go through the swords and fires, otherwise how can she be worthy of the title of "direct disciple".
"Okay, since you have this intention, my master will give you magic weapons and talismans to help you show your power."
Zhou Yang nodded, shouted "OK", and then waved his hand, taking out a pile of third-level magic weapons and third-level spiritual talismans and placing them in front of him for the seven people to choose from.
When he left the boundless sand sea to cultivate immortality, he specially selected a batch of high-quality third-level magic weapons and spiritual talismans from the Zhou family's treasury in order to deal with today's situation, and now they finally come in handy.
