Chapter 73: Sand Bandits Reappear (Happy New Year's Day)
More than an hour later, Zhou Yang finally felt a lot of relief from the splitting headache he suffered due to excessive consumption of his spiritual consciousness.
Although his consciousness has not been completely restored, it no longer affects his normal flying of the sword.
At this time, Chen Pingzhi, who had been closing his eyes to recover his magic power, had already opened his eyes and recovered.
Seeing Zhou Yang wake up, he immediately looked at him with complicated eyes and said in a low voice: "My little friend is awake? If so, we can go back now."
From the looks of it, it was obvious that he had checked the condition of those jade slips after waking up and realized how much advantage Zhou Yang had taken advantage of because of his carelessness.
But now the deal is done, no matter how many thoughts he has in mind, he can't get Zhou Yang to hand over the copied jade slips.
And if he didn't mention this matter, Zhou Yang would naturally not be stupid enough to mention it. After hearing this, he just nodded and said: "Everything depends on senior Chen. I don't have any opinions."
In fact, he originally wanted to ask Chen Pingzhi how to deal with this cave. After all, it was a third-level mid-grade spiritual vein. If fully developed, it would be enough to support several foundation-building monks and hundreds of Qi-training monks.
But looking at Chen Pingzhi's face now, he felt that it would be better not to talk too much about this issue involving the distribution of interests.
Anyway, his Zhou family is not short of spiritual veins now, and this place is far away from the Yuquan Lake Oasis. Even if Chen Pingzhi said that he would give spiritual veins to his Zhou family, they would not be able to send people to this inhospitable place to open up wasteland.
.
"Then let's go."
Chen Pingzhi glanced at him, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the retreat room.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang did not follow immediately. Instead, he cleared a space in a storage bag and packed the ten-foot-long cold jade bed in the retreat room into the storage bag.
The Chen family has a great business, and this time they have harvested treasures worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones. It is not surprising that Chen Pingzhi despises such things that take up a lot of storage space.
But he was different. Although he was not so poor as many casual cultivators who wanted to split one spiritual stone and use it in two parts, he still couldn't turn a blind eye to something like a cold jade bed worth hundreds of spiritual stones.
Moreover, he now carries more than three storage bags with him all year round. It is not difficult to free up a storage bag to hold the cold jade bed.
After installing the cold jade bed, Zhou Yang patted the bulging storage bag, and then followed Chen Pingzhi's footsteps to the outside of the cave with satisfaction.
However, just a few steps after he walked out of the retreat room, a strong wave of fighting skills suddenly came from outside the cave, as well as Chen Pingzhi's shouts of shock and anger.
what's the situation?
Zhou Yang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly walked out of the cave and looked outside.
In the sky outside the cave, Chen Pingzhi, who was one step ahead, was surrounded by four foundation-building monks in black robes and fiercely attacked him in mid-air. In his abdomen, a fist-sized blood hole was gushing out blood.
, there were also two more flesh-and-flesh sword wounds on both shoulders.
"Little friend Zhou, come and help me. As long as you escape this disaster today, Chen will be richly rewarded later!"
Seeing Zhou Yang walking out of the cave, Chen Pingzhi quickly shouted to him for help.
At the same time, the four black-robed foundation-building monks who were besieging him also slowed down their offensive and focused some of their energy on looking at Zhou Yang.
Facing the gazes of Chen Pingzhi and the four black-robed foundation-building monks, Zhou Yang's face turned pale, and a look of deep horror flashed in his eyes.
Chen Pingzhi may not know these black-robed foundation-building monks, but having personally experienced the battle of Jinxia Mountain, he recognized their origins and knew that these four people were the foundation-building bandits who attacked Jinxiashanfang City that day.
Unexpectedly, the Chen family searched extensively for these people but could not find them, but today they met them here. I don't know if this is their luck or misfortune.
save?
Still not saving?
Zhou Yang looked at the four black-robed foundation-building bandits with a horrified expression, and there was already a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Each of these four black-robed foundation-building bandits has a higher level of cultivation than him. Two of them are at the sixth level of foundation building and the fifth level of foundation building respectively. The other two are also at the third level of foundation building.
If that's all, it's nothing.
Although there are twice as many sand bandits as them, Chen Pingzhi, as the younger brother of the Chen family's number one foundation-building monk, must have a life-saving trump card. Once he uses his trump card, it is not impossible to fight one against two.
And since he possesses a powerful weapon like "Qian Yang True Fire", it is not a big problem to restrain two monks who are in the same early stage of foundation building. It is still unclear who will win when the time comes.
However, the problem now is that Chen Pingzhi has been injured, and it seems that the injury is not serious.
Zhou Yang was very doubtful whether he could still fight against two mid-stage foundation-building sand bandits one against two despite his injuries.
At the same time, what worries him even more is that since these four foundation-building bandits appear here, does it mean that the lair of this group of bandits is nearby?
If this is the case, once the fighting time on their side is too long, other bandits will definitely pay attention and come to support them.
At that time, there is no need for the Zifuqi monk behind the bandit to take action. As long as the bandit leader with the ninth floor of the foundation comes over, he and Chen Pingzhi will not escape death today.
"It turns out there is a little guy inside. Lao Ba and Lao Ninth, you two go deal with that kid. Just leave this old guy from the Chen family to me and Lao Wu."
When Zhou Yang was still hesitating whether to save people, the bandit on the sixth floor of the foundation suddenly sneered, opened his mouth and ordered the two sand bandits on the third floor of the foundation to kill him, obviously wanting to catch them all. .
Seeing this, Zhou Yang no longer had to hesitate.
With a wave of his sleeve, he released his third-level flying sword "Red Mysterious Golden Light Sword" to block the flying sword weapon of one of the bandits. He then slapped his storage bag and used a fiery red flying fork weapon to block it. He caught the flying sword driven by another bandit.
While using his magical weapon to fight the two bandits, he hurriedly and secretly sent a message to Chen Pingzhi and said: "Junior, hold these two people down for now. If Senior Chen has any powerful means, it's better to use them quickly, otherwise junior can't stop them. How long will we live with these two people?"
"Don't worry, as long as you can delay those two people for half a quarter of an hour, Chen will have his own means to deal with these two thieves!" Chen Pingzhi's eyes flashed coldly, and he replied in a cold voice.
As a foundation-building monk of the Chen family, this was the first time he had been hurt so badly since he established the foundation. How could he not be angry in his heart.
Moreover, what Zhou Yang didn't know was that when he was attacked by four sand bandits when he left the cave, he had already used a life-saving treasure. Otherwise, how could he have escaped from the four foundation-building sand bandits who deliberately and unintentionally planned it? Survive a sneak attack.
Just half an hour?
When Zhou Yang heard Chen Pingzhi's answer, he was convinced that in half an hour, there was no need for him to expose the "Qianyang True Fire" trump card in advance.
So he waved his hand again, held out a golden round shield and placed it in front of himself for protection, while focusing his attention on the battlefield on Chen Pingzhi's side.
The key to this battle lies in that side. If Chen Pingzhi does not deal with the opponent, even if he uses all his cards to repel and defeat the two enemies on the third level of foundation building, the outcome of this battle will not be decided.
"How dare you underestimate our brothers like this, you're really looking for death!"
The two bandits on the third floor of the foundation saw Zhou Yang's actions and were really shocked and angry.
Which of them is not higher in cultivation than Zhou Yang? However, they were treated with such contempt. How could they not be angry?
What makes them even more jealous is that they have been building foundations for decades, and now they have each purchased a third-level flying sword, and the defensive magic weapon is still a second-level high-quality weapon.
But Zhou Yang was lucky. He was only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, but he actually had three third-level magic weapons in his hand. How could this not make the two of them jealous.
Zhou Yang secretly scolded Chen Pingzhi as a "big dog", but little did he know that in the eyes of these two foundation-building bandits, he, who was holding multiple third-level magic weapons at the first level of foundation-building, was also the envy of casual cultivators like them.
Big dog owner".
Third-level magic weapons are no better than second-level magic weapons. Not to mention that the number of third-level weapon refiners is extremely rare. There are only a few in the entire Baisha River Oasis Cultivation World. Even the materials for refining third-level magic weapons are extremely rare.
The most embarrassing thing is that if a second-level weapon refiner fails to refine a magic weapon, some material fees will be compensated. However, if a third-level weapon refiner fails to refine the weapon, at most they will not charge the refining fee and will be compensated with 10% of the material fee.
They are all good people.
You know, even for a third-level high-grade weapon refiner like Zhou Minghan, the success rate of refining a third-level low-grade magical weapon is only about 50 to 60%. With this success rate, which weapon refiner would dare to do what Zhou Yang did?
Paying the material fee for a failed weapon refinement would really cost you all your pants.
It is precisely because of this situation that those family foundation-building monks or casual cultivation monks who do not have a third-level weapon refiner can only spend thousands of spiritual stones to buy finished magic weapons. Those who dare to gamble on the character and skills of the weapon refiner
, it is difficult for one person among ten people.
However, even for a foundation-building monk, thousands of spirit stones are not small money. After all, foundation-building monks make money quickly and spend money quickly.
Especially for casual foundation-building monks, if they have not received any inheritance from their predecessors before building the foundation, whether it is the foundation-building period exercises or "sword control" sword techniques and those third-level spells, they must use spiritual stones to buy them, and wait until they have finished purchasing them.
After putting things on, how many spiritual stones are left in your pocket?
Not to mention, if the casual cultivating foundation-building monks do not occupy the third-level spiritual veins, refining spiritual stones every day will be a huge consumption. The number of spiritual stones spent over the years is the foundation building of a family like Zhou Yang.
The monks also felt extremely distressed.
Due to these various reasons, foundation-building monks who are casual cultivators usually live a tight and miserable life in the first few decades. If they don't want to be bandits, they can only work for various cultivating families and sects to earn spiritual stones.
.
For example, when the ancestor of the Chen family took people to hunt the fourth-level monsters last time, the few casual cultivating foundation-building monks who participated in the battle were hired by the Chen family. As long as each of them could come back alive, they would receive a number of rewards.
Harvest of Thousand Spirit Stones.
Therefore, at this moment, jealous and angry, the two sand bandits on the third level of the foundation also used all their abilities. The two flying swords were like two evil dragons and they fiercely killed Zhou Yang with a rainbow-like momentum.
At the same time, they each activated the magical powers attached to their exercises, and fired a gleaming golden knife and a flaming fire wolf at him, forcing him to brace himself and go all out to deal with the two attacks, and then
Can't be distracted.
At this moment, Chen Pingzhi also used his trump cards to start a counterattack.
