Half a quarter of an hour later, after receiving the alarm, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan rushed outside the mine where the accident occurred.
At this time, dozens of miners had gathered outside the mine. These people seemed to be greatly frightened, and their faces were full of panic. They even saw two immortal cultivators, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan, coming over.
reaction.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown.
Although they are mortal miners, these people are still members of the Zhou clan. They have grown up listening to the deeds of immortal cultivators and monster beasts. Every few years, the Zhou family monks will bring the corpses of various monster beasts to the
These mortals are enlightened and courageous, and the teachers and village stewards in the mortal schools will often spread knowledge about various low-level monsters in the desert to them. Why are they so frightened by a mere monster now?
What's more, in the past few years of being stationed at Qingping Mountain, Zhou Yang had received several calls to the mine to eliminate monsters. Although some miners were frightened at that time, they would never be as frightened as they are today.
He even forgot to salute when he arrived.
At this time, he glanced around, but the miner's steward who called the police was nowhere to be seen, and then his eyes became sharp.
"What's going on? What kind of monster attacked the mine? Where is your manager?"
Zhou Yang realized something, mobilized his magic power a little and released the momentum unique to an immortal cultivator, and asked about the situation in a cold voice.
Suppressed by the magical energy emanating from the immortal cultivator on his body, the bodies of all the mortal miners present sank, and many of them fell to their knees on the ground.
However, this did have the effect Zhou Yang wanted, allowing the mortal miners to quickly recover from the fear of being dominated by monsters and discover the existence of his "immortal master".
"Ah, the Master Immortal is here!"
"Master Immortal, help me, there is a monster, and the monster is killing people!"
"Save my child, Master Immortal, please save my child, he is still in the mine and has not come out!"
The miners seemed to be waking up from a dream. Regardless of whether they had been overwhelmed by Zhou Yang's momentum before, they all fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowed violently and begged him for help.
If it were Zhou Yang who had just come down from the mountain, he might not be used to seeing dozens of people kneeling in front of him at once, but now he is very calm and does not even let these people get up, because he knows that for these people
For ordinary people, kneeling down to talk to immortal cultivators makes them feel at ease.
He looked at these chattering miners, mobilized some of his mana, and cast an auxiliary first-level spell "Bewildering Sound", letting his voice have a special charm and said: "Don't panic.
, since I am here, I will definitely get rid of the monsters. Now you guys answer me honestly, where are you in charge? What does the monster that kills people look like?"
The miners are only mortals, and even first-level spells are not something they can resist.
With the help of "Bewildering Sound", Zhou Yang quickly got the news he wanted.
"Returning to the Immortal Master, the Steward was found and eaten by a monster after he sent out a call for help. We escaped after hearing the screams coming from inside, and no one has seen the appearance of the monster.
Everyone who saw it died!"
After listening to the miners' descriptions, he couldn't help but look at the family elder Zhou Quan who was following him.
The old man and his family were mature, and they knew what he meant with just one look. He couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "I'm just here to help. You are the monk stationed here, and everything depends on your opinion."
Zhou Yang understood. The old man's meaning was already obvious. This was his experience. Unless he couldn't solve the matter, the old man would definitely not take the initiative to intervene.
"My grandnephew understands, then please ask Third Grandpa to help escort these miners back, and my grandnephew will go to the mines to eliminate the monsters."
He nodded, and expressed his decision as if he had just raised his hand.
Unexpectedly, after Zhou Quan heard what he said, the smile on his face suddenly faded. He looked at him blowing his beard with an unhappy face and shouted: "Why, you think I am old and useless. You think I will be better if you follow me."
Does it drag you down?"
"Third Grandpa, you have misunderstood. This is not what my grandnephew meant. He is just worried..."
"You are worried! Although I am old, when it comes to fighting skills, even ten of your boys are no match for me. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. If something happens to you, what face will I have?
Go back to the family to see the old patriarch? Do you want me to become the sinner of the entire family?"
Although Mr. Zhou Quan is over a hundred years old, his temper has not changed at all. He understood Zhou Yang's kindness, but he was so angry about Zhou Yang's arrangements that he pointed at Zhou Yang and gave him a slap on the spot.
He started to curse.
Zhou Yang was scolded and was speechless. He could only admit his mistake with a wry smile on his face and said: "Third Grandpa, please calm down and your grandnephew realizes your mistake. Then please ask Third Grandpa to protect your grandnephew. Let's go to the mines to eliminate the demons together."
"That's pretty much it!"
The anger on the old man's face subsided slightly, and he accepted his apology.
So the two of them each took out their magic weapons from their storage bags, and simultaneously cast the second-level defense spell "Golden Light Body Protection Technique" to cast a layer of protective golden light on themselves, and then got into the mine one after another.
Cave entrance.
The refined iron ore veins here in Qingping Mountain have been mined for decades, and the mine passage has been expanded and reinforced over the years to be able to accommodate two people entering and exiting at the same time.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan went straight down the mine tunnel. Their two pairs of eyes, which had been blessed with the "Sky Eye Technique" and became shining golden, kept looking around. The dark environment in the cave did not affect their vision at all.
.
They traveled very fast, and arrived at the original murder site in just a short while. At a mining operation site, they found the clothes and blood stains left behind after the miners died, and then followed the blood stains on the ground and the residual evil spirit on the monster beasts.
After searching, he quickly found the monster that was eating the corpses of miners in another mine.
It was a huge rat as big as a wolfdog. The hair on its body shone like steel needles, and the skin under the hair faintly reflected the luster of metal. When Zhou Yang and the two found it, it was lying on its back on the ground.
of miners eating corpses from their bellies.
"Be careful, it's a second-level high-grade monster [Gold-Eating Rat]!"
Old man Zhou Quan also had another identity, that is, he was the only second-level beast tamer in the Zhou family. Therefore, as soon as he saw the figure of the monster, he recognized its origin and warned Zhou Yang.
While reminding Zhou Yang to be careful, he quickly explained the strengths and weaknesses of this monster: "The [Gold-Eating Rat] is named because it likes to swallow all kinds of metals. When it reaches adulthood, it is a second-level high-grade monster. Its main attack method is
It has teeth and claws that can bite even second-level magic weapons. In critical moments, it can also shoot hair from its body to injure enemies. The power of its hair is equivalent to that of a low-level second-level flying needle magic weapon. In addition, this beast is proficient in the art of escaping from the ground and likes to attack enemies from behind.
Attack the enemy."
"Furthermore, the [Gold-eating Rat]'s fur and bones have extremely strong defenses due to devouring various metals. Only second-level high-grade magic weapons can hurt it, or burning it with real fire can also have miraculous effects. In addition, its eyes are also weak points."
While the old man Zhou Quan was talking, the monster [Gold-Eating Rat], after being alarmed by the two of them, stopped eating and looked at the two of them with a pair of scarlet eyes, its eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
Seeing this, old man Zhou Quan seemed to have forgotten all the things he said above that were mainly based on Zhou Yang's opinion, and directly ordered Zhou Yang in a tone that could not be criticized: "I heard from the old patriarch that he took that [Silver Gang Shield]
The magic weapon has been given to you. Next, you must control this magic weapon to protect yourself. I happen to have a second-level high-grade magic weapon [Mountain-Shaking Hammer] in my hand, so I will leave this monster to me to deal with."
Zhou Yang didn't try to be brave. After hearing this, he nodded immediately and said, "My grandnephew understands. Third Grandpa, you also have to be careful. If it doesn't work, we can go back first and gather people to deal with this beast again!"
After saying that, he took out the [Silver Gang Shield] magical weapon, enlarged it several times and rotated around him, to resist enemy attacks coming from any direction at any time.
Seeing Zhou Yang being so obedient, old man Zhou Quan was relieved. He was afraid that Zhou Yang would be too young and energetic to show off his strength and would not be able to bear this arrangement, which would give him a headache.
At this moment, he no longer had any worries. With a wave of his hand, he also released a small green-black shield to rotate around himself for protection. Then he reached out and patted the storage bag, took out another golden melon sledge hammer and aimed it at the demon.
The beast [gold-eating rat] hit him.
Rumble.
After a loud roar was heard, the entire mine tunnel shook violently.
Zhou Yang looked around and saw that the place where the [Gold-eating Rat] was had been smashed by the pumpkin sledgehammer into a large hole about ten feet in diameter, but no trace of blood could be seen.
"Be careful, it's coming for you!"
While Zhou Yang was looking at the deep pit with wide eyes, he suddenly remembered the loud shout of old man Zhou Quan.
Then before he could react, a black shadow jumped out from the cave wall next to him and slammed into the [Silver Gang Shield] magic weapon that sensed danger and automatically protected the master.
[Silver Gang Shield] This magic weapon is indeed a fine magic weapon carefully refined by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan. Although it cannot exert its maximum power without the command of Zhou Yang, the master, the collision of the second-level high-grade monster [Gold-eating Rat]
, was actually blocked by it.
However, this blow also exhausted the mana that Zhou Yang had injected into the magic weapon in advance, causing the magic weapon to fall directly to the ground after blocking the blow.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Yang cursed secretly in his heart, and after coming back to his senses, he quickly mobilized his consciousness to establish contact with the magic weapon, and re-injected mana to make the magic weapon fly up to protect himself.
But at this time, the [Gold-eating Rat] missed a single hit, and used extremely cunning ground-escape skills to disappear from the sight of Zhou Yang and the two of them, causing the subsequent hammer blow from the old man Zhou Quan to miss again.
Still too young!
Seeing this scene, old man Zhou Quan secretly shook his head, but he did not accuse Zhou Yang of anything.
Because when he was this age, his reaction to the sudden attack by the monster was not as good as Zhou Yang's. At least Zhou Yang did not panic and scream, and made immediate remedies.
He waited until Zhou Yang had re-protected himself and then reminded him: "Xiao Jiu, please pay attention. When it comes out again, I will use the [Pointing to the Ground to Turn Steel] spell to block its ability to escape from the ground. Then you can
You must keep your spirits up to prevent it from jumping over the wall to death!"
"Don't worry, Third Grandpa, your grandnephew will definitely not make the mistake just now!"
Zhou Yang nodded vigorously with a shy look on his face and was already on alert.
