In the "Thousand Machines Cave", after Zhou Yang put up protection and entered, he saw that Chen Pingzhi, who had taken the first step, was retreating continuously under the attack of two puppet beasts, looking very embarrassed.
The two puppet beasts are a lion and a tiger respectively. The lion is made of some kind of spiritual wood. It is about the same size as an ordinary wild beast lion, except that its pupils are red and can release a flame ray spell to attack the enemy. In addition, other
It can also shoot red fireballs from its mouth to attack.
The puppet tiger beast is about the same size as an ordinary tiger, but its body is mostly made of metal.
Compared with the lion that attacks from a distance, this tiger beast is obviously better at close combat. Its four claws are made of third-level spiritual gold. It can release claws several feet long to directly attack Chen Pingzhi's flying sword. It can also use its mouth to attack.
It spits out silver-white sword energy spells for long-range attacks, and its body defense is much stronger than ordinary third-level low-grade monsters.
Whether it is a lion or a tiger beast, the aura exuding from the body is much stronger than that of Zhou Yang, a monk on the first level of Foundation Establishment. Although it is not as good as Chen Pingzhi, who is on the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, Zhou Yang is estimated to be at least equivalent to the third level of Foundation Establishment to the Foundation Establishment.
The monks on the fourth floor.
Originally, with Chen Pingzhi's strength at the sixth level of foundation building, even if these two puppet beasts were extraordinary, he would not be as embarrassed as he is now.
However, he had already consumed a lot of mana when he attacked the cave's protective circle, and he was suddenly attacked by two puppet beasts unprepared. He was not even able to exert 70% of his strength.
If he hadn't come from a big family like the Chen family, and he was not weak in martial arts, magical powers, and treasures, he would not only be in embarrassment, but also injured or even dead.
When Zhou Yang came in and saw this situation, he couldn't help but asked loudly: "Senior Chen, do you want this junior to help?"
Hearing his words, Chen Pingzhi's expression changed and he hesitated.
From his own perspective, he certainly didn't want Zhou Yang to take action. After all, once Zhou Yang took action, even if his contribution was small, he would have to give up at least 10% of the harvest to Zhou Yang.
However, given his current situation, if he insists on not letting Zhou Yang take action, not to mention that the appearance will be too ugly, Zhou Yang will be greatly offended. Even he himself may not be able to take down the two puppet beasts in front of him.
Finally, after thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "You can take action if you want, but be careful not to damage the bodies of these two puppet beasts. We will slowly consume them and consume all the energy in their bodies."
Just the spiritual stone and spiritual power will do."
Zhou Yang understood what Chen Pingzhi meant. If the puppet beast's body was not destroyed, after all the spiritual power in its body was exhausted, it might be possible to obtain two valuable treasures.
But if it is damaged, there are not many people in the immortal world who know how to refine and repair this kind of puppet beast, and it will be difficult to find someone to repair it.
Therefore, even though he knew that even if the puppet beast was intact, it would not have its share in the aftermath, he still smiled and said: "Senior, don't worry, I know what to do."
It doesn't matter if the puppet beast doesn't share his share, the value of the intact puppet beast is not comparable to that of the damaged puppet. If he gets a share afterwards, even if he only gets 10%, it will be worth the price of admission this time.
With the addition of Zhou Yang, Chen Pingzhi's situation immediately improved a lot.
Although Zhou Yang did not attack with all his strength, he still blocked most of the lion beast's attacks. In this way, when only one tiger beast was left to attack at close range, it could not pose much threat to him, a sixth-level foundation-building monk.
After about two or three quarters of an hour, the two puppet beasts exhausted the spiritual power of the spiritual stones in their bodies and stopped.
"Phew, it finally stopped!"
Seeing the two puppet beasts stop attacking, Chen Pingzhi, who was already sweating on his forehead, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned to Zhou Yang and smiled bitterly: "Thanks for bringing little friend Zhou with me this time."
You, otherwise Chen may really capsize in the gutter and fall into the hands of these two dead puppets!"
"Senior, you are serious. With your methods, even if you lose to these two puppet beasts, you will be able to retreat safely." Zhou Yang also put away his magic weapon and shook his head with a smile on his face to express that he did not dare to take credit.
Seeing this, Chen Pingzhi nodded slightly and said no more polite words.
What Zhou Yang said was the truth. If he hadn't been afraid of damaging the two puppet beasts, he could have used his trump card to end the battle long ago without Zhou Yang's help.
He waved his sleeves and put the two powerless puppet beasts on the ground into storage bags, and then said: "Mr. Chen will keep these two puppet beasts first. After this expedition is over, I will settle the account with you."
That harvest.”
"Everything is as per what Senior Chen said." Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with envy, but he had no objections.
Although the old patriarch Zhou Minghan once said that Chen Pingzhi was greedy and arrogant by nature, Zhou Yang did not believe that he would default on his debts because of this.
It is true that there are cases of defaulting on debts in the world of immortality, but the price of defaulting on debts is not something that everyone can bear.
It's okay for high-level monks to default on their debts and for low-level monks, at most their reputations will be ruined and they will be looked down upon. But if monks of the same level dare to default on their debts, they must be prepared to suffer the other party's revenge.
If an immortal cultivator deliberately plots against another immortal cultivator, then the life of the person being plotted will definitely not be easy in the future. Especially a family cultivator like Chen Pingzhi who has a family and business will not dare to offend a fellow cultivator to death easily.
.
Otherwise, Chen Pingzhi is not afraid of revenge because of his high cultivation. Why can't they secretly kill the low-level monks of his Chen family in revenge?
When the time comes, even if the ancestor of the Chen family kills that person, his fate, Chen Pingzhi, will definitely not be much better.
Zhou Yang didn't believe that Chen Pingzhi didn't know this truth.
When Chen Pingzhi saw that he had no objection, she was relieved and her impression of him suddenly improved a lot.
You must know that when immortal cultivators form a team to explore, sometimes the greatest danger does not come from the formation restrictions and monster enemies in the secret areas of the cave, but from the team itself.
Throughout the ages, countless expedition teams have discovered treasures in ancient caves. They immediately started fighting among themselves because of the treasures. They fought each other with swords and fought to the death.
Zhou Yang was not afraid that Chen Pingzhi would default on his debt, and Chen Pingzhi asked Zhou Yang to come over, but he was also not afraid that he would dare to attack him.
Chen Pingzhi had explained to his brother Chen Ping'an that the two of them went out on an adventure together.
If Chen Pingzhi cannot return to the family safely, but Zhou Yang does, then Chen Ping'an will definitely tell the Chen family ancestor to ask Zhou Yang to go to the Chen family for investigation. At that time, with the Chen family ancestor's methods, he will ensure that Zhou Yang can
Everything that happened along the way was revealed verbatim.
At that time, once it was discovered that Zhou Yang had done something evil, the fate awaiting him and the Zhou family would be that the entire family would be uprooted by the Chen family.
The two continued to go deep into the cave, with Chen Pingzhi still in front and Zhou Yang behind. Whenever he found anything, Zhou Yang would just watch Chen Pingzhi go get it. At most, he would ask a few questions when he encountered something he didn't understand.
The interior space of this cave is not small. After Zhou Yang followed Chen Pingzhi through the hall guarded by the puppet beasts, he went to a total of seven or eight stone rooms. There was something to gain in each stone room, even in a stone room used for refining weapons.
, and also harvested a third-level low-grade cauldron.
Finally, the two came to the retreat room at the deepest part of the cave.
When they arrived at the retreat room, the two of them looked at each other, and then Chen Pingzhi spoke first: "The remains of the owner of the cave were not found in the bedroom before. If this person did not die outside, he should be sitting in the retreat room."
"Senior Chen is right, and this junior also has the same guess." Zhou Yang nodded, agreeing with his guess.
If no one inherits and destroys the caves left by senior monks like this, we can actually tell something about the origin and character of this person during his lifetime.
Generally speaking, only those casual cultivators who like to be alone and uninhibited will hide their caves so tightly that no one will know the location of their caves after their death, and no one will come to discover the treasures they left behind.
.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, temporary caves or cave villas accidentally opened by some experts outside. Such temporary caves and cave villas are not very important to those experts, and they will not feel bad even if they are abandoned.
Normally no one knows about it.
However, judging from the previous experiences in several stone chambers, Zhou Yang and Chen Pingzhi have concluded that the master of the cave must not have exceeded the foundation building stage during his lifetime, and with the financial resources of the monks in the foundation building period, it is obviously impossible to open up such a cave outside the main cave.
A villa in a cave.
"I'll break down the door."
As the leader of this expedition, Chen Pingzhi naturally wanted to firmly grasp the initiative. He looked at the door of the retreat room, which was still shining with mana and was guarded by an independent small formation. He waved his sleeves and released his flying sword again to attack.
This independent small formation that protects the retreat room generally serves the purpose of giving early warning and preventing disturbance to the people in retreat. Its defensive power is almost non-existent for monks in the foundation-building stage.
After Chen Pingzhi's flying sword was released, it broke the formation protection within a few strokes, and with a "bang" the entire door of the retreat room was shattered.
The door fell to the ground, and the situation inside the retreat room was clearly visible.
Zhou Yang looked intently and saw a small retreat room. Like most of the retreat rooms of foundation-building monks, there was a cold jade bed. On the bed, there was an emaciated skeleton corpse with his head facing the door. From there,
In the hollow eyes, he seemed to be able to feel the unwillingness and resentment of the corpse owner during his lifetime.
"Sure enough, he is here. Judging from the appearance of this guy, he must have failed to open up the Zi Mansion, and the sea of consciousness exploded and died!"
Chen Pingzhi's face was filled with joy, and he spoke about his speculation. When he stepped into the retreat room, his target was the storage bags hanging on the waist of the corpse on Hanyu's bed.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown. Chen Pingzhi must have been too impatient.
