Chapter 621: The game is in the middle of the game!
Thunder Whale Island is two to three million miles away from the "Tianlan Outer Sea", and it has to cross another outer sea on the way. Most monks really can't travel this far.
Zhou Yang and his party of six were all Golden Core Stage monks, and it took them more than two months to successfully reach the "Tianlan Offshore".
"Since this [Tianlan Waihai] fell in the great catastrophe thousands of years ago, the dragon clan has driven many groups of monsters to live there. For thousands of years, no matter how hard our human monks hunted those monsters here,
, there will be new monsters filling in soon, and we will not be given the slightest chance to recover. You should be more careful in the future and don't let down your vigilance."
On the blue sea, a silver stream of light shot from a distance and suddenly stopped in mid-air, revealing the silhouette of a silver spaceship.
On the flying boat, Zhou Yang listened to the words of Ruan Xiong who was controlling the flying boat, and suddenly a strange color flashed in his eyes, with a hint of worry flashing through his eyes.
If what Ruan Xiong said is true, it would be a bit difficult for him to attack the spiritual veins in the lair of the [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast].
Moreover, he is also worried about something happening on the way to Jiang Fengxian. He has not yet arrived at the "Tianlan Offshore", but he cannot get away to investigate now.
"Fellow Daoist Ruan, I wonder how far away we are from where the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] is?"
Just when Zhou Yang was worried about Jiang Fengxian's safety, Huang Yunxing, the young man in yellow who was traveling with him, suddenly asked the question he was about to ask.
His eyes immediately looked at Ruan Xiong along with others.
Facing the gazes of his teammates, Ruan Xiong just smiled calmly and said: "Young Daoist Huang, don't be impatient. The [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] is not far from where we are now. If everything goes smoothly, we can go there again at most."
We'll arrive in seven or eight days."
"Then I'll go there quickly. I'll leave early and come back early."
Huang Yunxing's face flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but urge.
Under his urging, Ruan Xiong quickly drove the silver flying boat and continued on his way.
It's just that this "Tianlan Outer Sea" is not peaceful at all, as he said before. The auras of their group of six Golden Core Stage monks are exposed, and there are still monsters who dare to take action against the silver flying boat flying in the air.
The demonic beasts that took action were all hiding under the sea. They only used various innate spells and magical powers to attack the silver flying boats passing by from a distance without showing their heads. Many of them even just shot and ran away.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang and others listened to Ruan Xiong's words, and the five of them took turns to conduct all-round vigilance, and were always able to intercept sneak attacks in advance, so that they would not be knocked down from the sky.
After nine days of this, the group finally saw an island in the distance.
"That's the island where the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] lives. Although this island is not big, in fact, this island is a new island. It was a new island that only appeared after the great catastrophe. It is not seen in the previous ones.
On the sea chart!”
The silver flying boat stopped in mid-air thousands of miles away from the island. Listening to Ruan Xiong's words, Zhou Yang and others used their pupil powers to observe the island from a distance.
From a distance, the island looks like a raised mountain peak, with a high center and low surroundings. The island is rugged with rocks and not many green plants can be seen, making it look quite desolate.
Judging from Zhou Yang's visual inspection, the size of this island is smaller than "Peach Blossom Island". It is indeed somewhat unexpected that such a small island can breed fifth-level high-grade spiritual veins.
But thinking about what Ruan Xiong said just now, it doesn’t seem surprising.
The knowledge from his previous life let Zhou Yang know that this new island was caused by the movement of the earth's crust, and in the "Linghuan World", a world of immortal cultivators, spiritual veins are closely related to earth veins.
If the island was raised to the sea surface due to crustal movement, then it would not be a strange thing to form a fifth-level high-grade spiritual vein on the island.
"It's weird. Wei looked far away with his aura technique, but he didn't seem to notice the presence of the fifth-level monster on the island. Is Ruan Daoyou really sure that the [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is here?"
The silver-haired old man Wei Tao turned his eyes to Ruan Xiong and asked with a suspicious look on his face.
Hearing his words, Zhou Yang and others quickly put away their eyes and paid attention to this matter.
Ruan Xiong's face flashed with displeasure, and he replied in a deep voice: "Wei Daoyou is joking, how could Ruan be wrong about this kind of thing? That [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] must be on the island
It builds a nest. As for you, fellow Taoist, you can't see it, it may be that it just went to the sea to hunt, or it may be that it has the ability to hide its aura, which is not surprising."
"What Ruan Daoyou said makes sense. Let's go up and take a look to see if it is true."
As if he heard the displeasure in Ruan Xiong's tone, the silver-haired old man Wei Tao immediately changed his tone and responded with a smile.
"Mr. Wei is right. Let's get closer and take a look to see if it's true or not."
The young man in yellow, Huang Yunxing, was the most concerned about this matter and hurriedly joined in to calm the atmosphere. Zhou Yang and others also took the opportunity to respond. No one really wanted to create a gap between the two main combat forces in the team before the war started.
At this time, there was only a thousand miles away, and everyone no longer needed to take Ruan Xiong's flying boat magical weapon, and directly flew towards the island in the auspicious clouds.
roar--
Before they even got close to the island, a shocking roar of a beast rang out from the mountain peak in the center of the island.
Then there was a flash of blue light, and a majestic blue beast flew up from the mountain peak and caught the eyes of Zhou Yang and others.
A lion's head, a dragon's mouth, fish scales, an ox's tail, a tiger's claws, and an ox's horns... The appearance of this blue giant beast is indeed exactly the same as the [Water-Repelling Golden-Eyed Beast] that Zhou Yang saw in the photo beads given by Ruan Xiong at that time. Obviously,
He is the real owner of that figure.
"It has appeared. Fellow Taoists, take action quickly. Don't let this beast leave the island. Otherwise, if it dives into the deep sea, it will be difficult for us to keep it!"
Ruan Xiong suddenly shouted loudly, and immediately launched a magical weapon that looked like an earth-yellow mountain and hit it at the [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast].
The khaki mountain magic weapon was only about a foot high when it was in his hand, but when it fell on the head of the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast], it had turned into a mountain with a height of a hundred feet.
Moved here.
But the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] was obviously not a weakling. With just a movement of its body, it broke away from the restraining power of the yellow mountain peak, and quickly turned into a blue light and disappeared under the mountain peak, causing the mountain to be smashed into nothing.
Boom!
The empty mountain peak fell to the ground, and a huge pit was immediately created on the ground, dozens of feet deep.
At this moment, Zhou Yang and others were also shouting and dispersed to surround the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast], and various magical weapons took turns to hit it.
roar!
[Water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] roared, and the long golden horn on its head suddenly shot out a sharp golden light, shooting straight towards the young man in yellow, Huang Yunxing.
This golden light was so sharp that it actually cut a fifth-level mid-grade flying sword into two pieces in mid-air, and then continued to shoot towards Huang Yunxing without losing any speed.
In an instant, Huang Yunxing's scalp exploded.
He shouted angrily and mobilized a black turtle shield to block the golden light, but he quickly stepped back in order to avoid the lock of the golden light.
There was a flash of golden light, and Huang Yunxing's defensive magic weapon continued to follow the footsteps of the flying sword before, and was directly cut into two pieces from the middle by the golden light.
However, after cutting off two fifth-level magic weapons, most of the golden light power seemed to have been consumed. Although the subsequent attack was still on Huang Yunxing, who could not avoid it, he was not able to kill him on the spot. He only stabbed him in the chest and abdomen.
A hideous wound about a foot long was left.
Even so, this blow scared everyone except Zhou Yang.
Looking at Huang Yunxing's miserable state, no one except Zhou Yang, who was physically strong, dared to say that he could survive this attack unscathed.
The key is that [Water-Resisting Golden-Eyed Beast] didn't show any sign of anger after it fired this attack. It seems that this attack doesn't consume much for it. At least it's not one that takes a long time to activate again.
’s ultimate move.
"Huang Daoyou, take care of the injury first, and leave this beast to me to deal with later."
Ruan Xiong glanced at Huang Yunxing, who was seriously injured, and he tolerantly allowed him to withdraw from the battle to heal his injuries.
"Ashamed, Huang has dragged down all fellow Taoists!"
Huang Yunxing's eyes flashed with gratitude and shame, he nodded, and quickly retreated hundreds of miles and landed, taking pills to heal his injuries.
And with his lessons learned from the past, others did not dare to be as careless as before when dealing with the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast], and the battle situation became deadlocked for a while.
Although everyone had no communication, they all made the same plan, which was to drag the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] until its energy dissipated, and then behead him.
[Water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is a fifth-level high-grade monster with extremely profound wisdom. Of course it understands what a few human monks have planned. However, it is alone. Even if it understands the enemy's intentions, there is no solution.
After fighting like this for about three hours, before everyone could capture the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast], Huang Yunxing, who had previously withdrawn from the battlefield to recuperate, gritted his teeth and came back to join the battle.
The wounds on his body were completely stopped by the elixir, but the sharp golden energy contained in the golden light still remained in the body and had not been completely eliminated. It was only temporarily suppressed by him.
Under such circumstances, he dared to continue to come back to join the battle. Zhou Yang didn't know whether he was resentful of the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] for injuring him, or whether he was afraid that after the battle, when the merits were rewarded, he would be directly punished.
Because he has not made any achievements, he is excluded!
However, after fighting for so long, the situation of [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] has indeed become very bad, and it is no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning.
But trapped beasts still fight, and everyone knows that the most dangerous time for hunting monsters is often when the monsters are forced into a desperate situation with nowhere to escape.
Everyone came to hunt the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] for its precious monster materials. If it is forced into a desperate situation and the demon pills are self-destructed and people fight for their lives, let alone the danger involved, let’s talk about what they will get afterwards.
The harvest will also be unsatisfactory.
Therefore, after seeing the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast]'s resistance becoming increasingly weak, Ruan Xiong couldn't help but send a message to Zhou Yang and others: "Fellow Taoists, please save your strength a little and don't push too hard. Wait until this beast is about to lose its strength."
When it's exhausted, it's not too late to use thunderous means to kill it!"
"Ruan Daoyou is right, you can't push too hard. Everyone is just looking for money, so don't let me wait until my hard work ends up being in vain!"
The silver-haired old man Wei Tao was the first to support Ruan Xiong at this time and strongly agreed with the other party's words.
At his age, he still came to this "Tianlan Offshore" adventure just to accumulate more wealth for the family's descendants while he is still alive, so that these descendants will not follow his own old path.
Not only him, except for Zhou Yang who had other ideas, several others also came here to seek wealth. No one was willing to work hard for several months only to end miserably.
As a result, everyone's offensive quickly slowed down and was no longer as fierce as before.
[Water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] is not stupid. The human monks clearly had the upper hand, but suddenly slowed down their offensive. How could it not understand what the plan was?
But even though it saw this, it had to obey.
As long as it still has some thoughts of survival in its heart, it will not directly fight against people in this situation.
Ouch!
Suddenly, a thunderous roar came from the mouth of the [Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast], and it opened its mouth violently, spitting out a golden demon pill.
As soon as the demon pill came out, it suddenly shot towards Huang Yunxing, who had been injured before, like a golden meteor.
"Huang Daoyou, be careful!"
Qian Bingyun, a beautiful woman in a white dress who was not far away from Huang Yunxing, gave a sweet shout and quickly activated her natal magical weapon [Ice Condensation Mirror], releasing a blue-white ice light and hitting the golden demon pill.
This was not because of the depth of her friendship with Huang Yunxing, but because she was worried that after something happened to Huang Yunxing, the [Water-Avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] would break out from where he was and escape.
Qian Bingyun's worry was not unreasonable. After the blue-white ice light she shot fell on the demon pill, it only delayed the demon pill for a moment and then lost its effect. Then the demon pill continued to hit Huang Yunxing.
.
Huang Yunxing's commonly used defensive magic weapon had been destroyed before, and now there was no fifth-level defensive magic weapon to replace it.
Seeing the demon pill approaching fiercely, for the sake of his own life, he could only quickly raise his hand and play a fifth-level mid-grade spiritual talisman to block the demon pill, while quickly retreating.
The result was of course no surprise. The spell inspired by the fifth-level mid-grade spiritual talisman was directly wiped out by the power of the demon pill before it even showed its due power.
At this moment, the body of [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] suddenly turned into a golden light and appeared next to Demon Dan. He swallowed Demon Dan in one gulp and broke out from the direction Huang Yunxing gave way.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the direction behind Huang Yunxing was not the blue sea, but the peak in the center of the island where the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] first appeared.
"Hurry up and chase, don't let it run away!"
Ruan Xiong shouted and the first one immediately chased after him.
The rest of the people, including Huang Yunxing who had just stepped aside to save his life, also looked anxious and hurriedly chased after him.
The group of people chased in a hurry, and soon followed the "water-avoiding golden-eyed beast" to the mountain peak, and watched helplessly as the strange beast plunged into a deep and dark cave.
The cave was so deep that it was extremely disturbed when one's spiritual consciousness was submerged in it, making it impossible to find out what was going on inside.
"Now that the matter has come to this point, we must not give up halfway. If you are brave enough, go in with Ruan. If you don't want to, Ruan will not force it. But in this way, when the harvest is distributed after the war, no one can blame Ruan for unfair distribution!
"
Ruan Xiong stood outside the cave, turned around and took a deep look at everyone. After saying these words, he jumped into the cave without hesitation.
When Zhou Yang and the rest of the people saw this, their expressions suddenly changed, and their faces were full of hesitation.
However, before everyone could hesitate for a long time, Huang Yunxing suddenly turned grim and gritted his teeth and said: "Because of Huang's mistake, this evil beast was taken away just now. Huang must make up for it by killing this beast no matter what. Fellow Taoists,
Huang also went down first."
After saying that, he jumped into the cave.
"Young Daoist Huang is not afraid of being injured, but Wei has lived for nine hundred years, how can he lag behind others!"
The silver-haired old man Wei Tao's face turned red and white for a while, and finally his expression became calm. He turned to look at Zhou Yang and the others, and jumped into the cave with the same determination.
At this time, only Zhou Yang, Qian Bingyun, and Liu Xingping, the Taoist couple, were still outside.
"Why don't you go down, Daoyou Huang?"
Qian Bingyun, a beautiful woman in a white dress, fixed her beautiful eyes on Zhou Yang and asked him curiously.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he did not answer but asked: "Then why don't Taoist Qian and his wife go down?"
"us……"
Qian Bingyun was about to answer Zhou Yang's question when suddenly the ground shook like an earthquake.
"Let's go down and take a look!"
Liu Xingping, who had never spoken a word, suddenly stared at Taoist companion Qian Bingyun and expressed his opinion.
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Huang?"
Qian Bingyun looked at Zhou Yang with her beautiful eyes, a look of hope flashed through her beautiful eyes, which looked quite moving.
Zhou Yang, however, was unmoved and calmly replied: "Huang needs to think about it again."
"Then fellow Daoist Huang, please continue to think about it here, Bingyun, let's go."
Liu Xingping glanced at Zhou Yang with an unhappy look, pulled the Taoist monk's arm, and dragged Qian Bingyun along with him into the cave.
At this point, only one of the six people, Zhou Yang, was left standing outside the cave, looking solemnly at the dark and deep cave below, without any intention of going down to explore.
Zhou Yang is now filled with doubts and has become suspicious of Ruan Xiong.
He discovered a lot of doubts, among which there are two more important doubts. One is the problem of this cave. You must know that after he completed the third level of "Taixu Divine Refining Art", his spiritual consciousness is now stronger than
The Nascent Soul stage monk is just a little weaker, but his powerful spiritual consciousness is blocked like everyone else in the cave. This is really outrageous.
There are many special places in the world of cultivating immortals that can interfere with and block the spiritual consciousness of monks, but there are very few places that can also have an effect on Nascent Soul stage monks.
Another problem may be that other people's attention was attracted by the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] and they didn't notice it, but Zhou Yang paid special attention to this aspect because he had different needs, so he discovered something that others didn't notice.
That is the issue of the grade of spiritual veins!
Yes, Zhou Yang has discovered that there is something wrong with the level of spiritual veins on this mountain. Judging from the concentration of spiritual energy in his location, it is not up to the standard of fifth-level high-grade spiritual veins. At most, it is the level of fifth-order low-grade spiritual veins.
This is obviously something wrong. Under normal circumstances, a strange beast like the [Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast] would never live in such a place, unless there are some special circumstances.
Coupled with the fact that the divine consciousness cannot be used in this cave, and the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] did not choose to escape to the sea but this cave, Zhou Yang has reason to suspect that there are some secrets hidden in the cave.
Next, something strange happened to Zhou Yang. Not long after Qian Bingyun and Liu Xingping jumped into the cave, the mountain that was still shaking quickly returned to normal.
It seems that the resistance of the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] has been suppressed.
But Zhou Yang is not so optimistic.
The six of them were previously besieging the alien beast in an open place like outside, but they were unable to quickly capture the alien beast. How could they suppress the alien beast so easily after entering the narrow cave now?
When Zhou Yang thought of this, his heart sank, and he had a vague suspicion.
As soon as he turned around, he wanted to leave here first.
But at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave.
There was a flash of yellow light, and Ruan Xiong's familiar face appeared in his sight again, but there was no sign of anyone else going down with him.
"Where are you going, Fellow Daoist Huang? Why is it that fellow Daoist Huang remains outside and refuses to go down when everyone else has gone down?"
Ruan Xiong looked at Zhou Yang with a strange smile on his face, and the words in his mouth were full of joking.
Zhou Yang's face condensed, and he looked at him solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Similarly, Huang also wants to ask Fellow Daoist Ruan, why did everyone else go down with you, but only you came up and no one else was seen?"
"Since Fellow Daoist Huang wants to know this so much, why not take a guess?"
Ruan Xiong looked at Zhou Yang with a playful look on his face, like an old cat teasing a mouse.
"Sorry, Huang is not in the habit of playing guessing games. Since fellow Taoist Ruan doesn't want to say anything, Huang will leave first!"
Zhou Yang said, the auspicious clouds gathered under his feet, and he was about to leave on the clouds.
Seeing this, Ruan Xiong's face suddenly darkened, and he smiled coldly and said with a cold expression: "Farewell? Do you think you can still leave?"
Before the voice could be heard, a hundred-foot-tall yellow mountain peak pressed towards Zhou Yang.
The yellow mountain peak obviously does not press down as fast as the flying sword and other magic weapons, but because a powerful force of confinement spreads out along with the magic weapon, the monk locked by it cannot easily avoid it.
Crushing, Duan is extremely domineering.
If Zhou Yang was only at the fifth level of the Golden Core, he might have been directly suppressed by this pressing mountain.
Unfortunately he is not.
drink!
Hearing a low shout from him, a golden pagoda suddenly rose from above his head and directly hit the mountain that was pressed down, forcing it to fly away.
"Eighth level of golden elixir, something is definitely wrong with you!"
Ruan Xiong's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.
"No, it's not just the eighth level of the golden elixir. I seem to have seen this golden pagoda weapon somewhere... Ah, I remembered. You are the person wanted by the Yulong family for a large sum of money. Your name is not Huang Yi at all.
Your real name should be Zhou Yang, right?"
Ruan Xiong's expression changed again and again, and he looked at Zhou Yang with surprise and joy, as if he had seen something precious.
"What? Do you also want to take Zhou's head to the Yulong Family to receive the reward?"
Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes and said with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"Why not? Do you think you are the only one hiding your strength?"
Ruan Xiong smiled coldly and suddenly let out a long roar. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the cave behind him again.
This figure turned out to be the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] that was injured by Zhou Yang and the others before and fled into the cave!
"Okay, it turns out that this [water-avoiding golden-eyed beast] was actually raised by you. I asked you why you were so decisive in chasing it in the first place. Before that, you were afraid that we would kill it and sent a message to us to deliberately release the water!"
A look of surprise flashed across Zhou Yang's face, and he finally cleared up the doubts in his heart and understood what Ruan Xiong relied on.
The combined power of Ruan Xiong and the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary eighth-level golden elixir monks, or even ninth-level golden elixir monks.
"At this point, even if you understand this, what can you do? You are just being a sensible person!"
Ruan Xiong sneered and waved his hand, and the [Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast] roared and rushed towards Zhou Yang.
"Oh, really?"
A strange color flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes, and suddenly two golden-red flames shot out from his gaze and penetrated Ruan Xiong's body.
