Zhou Yang couldn't be more satisfied with the news of obtaining one kind of spiritual object and another kind of spiritual object in one transaction.
The news that "Master Tian Snake" Xu Hanwen told him was about the sixth-order [Gold-Eating Beast].
The Beast Control Sect was originally famous for driving various monsters, and the information they collected on the distribution of various monsters was naturally much more detailed than other forces.
According to Xu Hanwen, there is a sixth-level [gold-eating beast] lurking in a giant gold ore vein in the wild jungle.
The Beast Control Sect once had an idea of the [Gold-Eating Beast], but that [Gold-Eating Beast] was very cunning and would not leave the underground mine no matter what.
And in that underground mine vein rich in gold energy, even the late Nascent Soul monks could not catch this strange beast that was born proficient in the art of gold escape.
Xu Hanwen told Zhou Yang about the [Gold-eating Beast], which actually harmed the interests of the Beast Control Sect.
However, as a monk at the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he does not commit the crime of treason and no one in the Beast Control Sect can judge him, he doesn't care about this.
After learning the news about the [Gold-eating Beast], Zhou Yang immediately prepared for the trip to the wilderness.
He spent three years collecting materials and asked Taoist Lan to help him refine a set of strange magic arrays [Eight-Sect Gold Sealing Array], which was specially used to seal the golden escape technique of the [Gold-eating Beast].
After the magic circle was refined, he took Taoist Lan to the wild jungle to find the hiding place of the [gold-eating beast].
With the map reference guide provided by Xu Hanwen, Zhou Yang found the target without much effort.
But just like the Beast Control Sect was unable to do anything about the [Gold-eating Beast] hiding in the mineral veins, it was impossible for Zhou Yang to go down to the underground mineral veins to slay the demon.
Therefore, if he wanted to slay the demon and seize the elixir, he must first lure the [Gold-Eating Beast] out of the underground mine veins.
Xu Hanwen said that the [Gold-Eating Beast] would not leave the underground mineral veins because their Beast Control Sect did not find the right method, or in other words, the bait they laid was not good enough.
The sixth-level [Gold-Eating Beast]’s intelligence has been greatly expanded, and its instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages has been greatly enhanced. It knows very well where its advantages lie, so it will never leave the underground unless it has a compelling reason to leave.
Mineral veins.
But even advanced cultivators, sometimes in order to seek breakthroughs and advance their cultivation, will know the dangers and have to take the initiative to go to those dangerous places with a near-death chance to seize opportunities.
Sometimes, intelligent creatures are more difficult to withstand certain temptations than ordinary beasts.
The sixth-level [gold-eating beast] lurks in this giant gold ore vein simply because the rich gold energy here is very beneficial to its growth and evolution. Here it does not need to worry about food at all.
However, for the [Gold-eating Beast], which is already a sixth-level monster, to grow by simply absorbing the gold energy from the veins, the growth rate is really pitifully slow.
It is very likely that when its life span is exhausted, there will be no chance of reaching the seventh level.
As for the [gold-eating beast], if a strange beast like this wants to grow quickly, the easiest and fastest way is to devour those rare and rare high-level spiritual gold.
Zhou Yang now happens to have a piece of [Tianwai Meteor Gold] in his hand that is very helpful to the growth and evolution of the sixth-level [Gold-Eating Beast].
When he first got this large piece of [Tianwai Meteor Gold], he wanted to use it to refine a set of sixth-level flying swords. It was just because his weapon refining skills had just broken through to the sixth level, and he was not very sure that he could do it at once.
If successful, there is no rush to use this thing.
Unexpectedly, this piece of [Tianwai Meteor Gold] that was too late to be used could be put to another use today.
At this time, after Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan flew around the giant fine gold vein, they stopped over a basin and valley.
"This is the place. The valley's earth energy is rich, the metal energy is mixed, the water and wood energy are balanced, but the fire energy is lacking. The [Eight-Sect Gold Sealing Array] is arranged here to avoid being discovered by the [Gold-eating Beast] to the greatest extent, because
The existence of gold energy will not make it too scrupulous and hesitant to move forward."
Taoist Lan flew around the valley, cast a few small spells to explore the ground conditions, and then expressed his opinion to Zhou Yang.
"Then I'll bother you, fellow Taoist Lan."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and immediately agreed.
Next, Taoist Lan took out the refined arrays, array disks and other array equipment, and arranged the array around this valley basin with an area of less than a hundred miles. Zhou Yang patrolled the outside to look out for its protectors.
After Taoist Lan arranged the formation, Zhou Yang released the witch Huan Qianqian who was practicing in the [Dongxuan Pearl], handed her the huge piece of [Tianwai Meteor Gold], and asked her to follow the plan
act.
According to the plan, Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan will hide in the [Dongxuan Bead], and then an external incarnation who is good at stealth will carry the orb and hide in the mountains and forests of the basin, until the [Gold-eating Beast] is attracted by the [Meteor Gold]
After entering the basin, suddenly activate the formation to trap it and kill it quickly.
At this time, after seeing Huan Qianqian carrying [Tianwai Meteor Gold] straight to Qingming as planned, Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan also quickly acted according to the plan.
Not long after, Huan Qianqian flew to the Qingming sky at a height of nearly 9,000 feet, then took aim and threw the piece of [Meteor Gold] down.
Boom!
A harsh roaring and muffled sound resounded through the sky, and a silver-gray ore like a shooting star rubbed against the air and emitted a strong firelight, quickly falling towards the earth.
This scene of falling meteors during the day can be clearly seen by all living beings within thousands of miles as long as they look up at the sky.
Not long after, the meteor crashed to the ground, and the powerful impact caused the earth to shake violently for thousands of miles around. Countless birds and animals had their hearts exploded by the powerful impact. The lucky survivors all screamed and roared.
Run away.
This huge movement instantly awakened a sleeping existence thousands of miles away underground.
It was a giant golden beast that was twenty to thirty feet long and shaped like a pangolin.
After it was awakened by the tremors of the earth, it immediately stood up from the cave with frightened eyes and a sharp hissing sound from its mouth.
Not long after, a hedgehog-like monster with golden needles all over its body appeared in the cave, neighing and explaining something to it in a low voice.
It can be clearly seen that the golden giant beast, which heard the report of the monster beast under its command, has a look of interest in its eyes.
Then it looked at the hedgehog-like monster and pondered for a moment, then suddenly grabbed one of the men's short legs from below with a claw, and directly lifted the man out of the cave, heading towards the source of the earthquake that caused the earth to tremble.
The golden giant beast escaped very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive outside the basin and valley where the meteor fell that day.
I saw the basin and valley at this time. Due to the meteor falling outside that day, the surrounding mountains collapsed and cracked. A huge pit with a diameter of a hundred feet appeared in the center of the basin. The pit was already full at this time.
spring water gushes from deep within the earth.
And in the induction of the golden giant beast, at the bottom of the deep pit covered by the spring water, there was a pure and powerful golden energy, as bright and eye-catching as the lights in the dark night, a desire originating from the depths of the blood,
It couldn't help but want to go deep into the puddle to find out.
But it can grow into a sixth-level monster, so naturally it won't be able to restrain even this instinctive desire.
After watching it from a distance for a while, it loosened its claws and threw down the hedgehog monster he had brought with him, asking it to help him salvage the thing that attracted him from the puddle.
The Hedgehog Monster itself is also a fifth-level mid-level monster that can control the demonic cloud and fly.
It did not dare to disobey its master's order, and soon flew into the basin with the demon cloud and plunged into the puddle.
After a while, the hedgehog monster grabbed the silver-gray ore buried deep in the ground and flew out of the puddle, flying towards its master with joy.
As a metallic monster, it can also feel the pure gold energy contained in the silver-gray ore in its hand, and knows that if it dedicates this object to its master, it will definitely receive a great reward from the master.
In the sky outside the basin, the golden giant beast saw the silver-gray ore brought out by the hedgehog monster from a distance. It also opened its eyes in excitement, and uttered a rapid neighing sound in its mouth, urging its men to bring the things over quickly.
But at this moment, a beautiful figure in white suddenly shot out from the other side of the valley basin, catching up with the hedgehog monster in the blink of an eye, and then used a long black cone magic weapon to kill the hedgehog monster in front of the golden giant beast.
The beast was nailed to death in mid-air and took away the silver-gray ore.
Seeing that the treasure that was about to be obtained was suddenly intercepted halfway, one can imagine how intense the anger in the golden beast's heart was.
If it hadn't seen the silver-gray ore, it might not be so angry.
But now that he has seen the silver-gray ore and understands its importance to him, how can he endure such an important treasure being taken away in front of his eyes?
With a flash of golden light, the figure of the giant golden beast [Gold-eating Beast] disappeared from the sky in an instant. When it reappeared, it was already a few feet away behind the witch Huan Qianqian.
Then with a slap of its claws, the witch in the sky dispersed like a bubble, but it turned out to be just an illusory clone.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of [Gold-Eating Beast] made it extremely angry.
It roared wildly, and the golden light flashed in its eyes. It glanced around and quickly found the witch's true form. Then without thinking, it turned into a golden escaping light and pounced on her.
At this time, the [Gold-eating Beast] had long lost its previous caution and only wanted to tear the human female cultivator into pieces who had robbed it of the opportunity to evolve.
It was at this time that Zhou Yang, who was hiding in the dark, took on an external form and directly used the magic formula to activate the [Eight Gates Golden Sealing Formation] that had been buried long ago.
Boom!
The ground roared and shook, and a strong white light quickly rose from the ground of the basin and the surrounding peaks, covering the entire basin at once.
This sudden change also frightened the [gold-eating beast] that rushed into the basin.
It suddenly realized something, and without bothering to trouble the witch Huan Qianqian, it roared and was about to activate its innate golden escape technique to escape from the basin.
However, after it used its escaping magic power, it did not escape a thousand miles as usual. Instead, it barely managed to escape a hundred feet before being forced out of the evading state.
This situation made it frightened and frightened. With a manic look in its eyes, it roared and flew directly into the air, launching a sprint towards the outside of the basin.
But as soon as it rushed out more than ten miles away, it was knocked back by a large bright yellow seal.
Zhou Yang and Taoist Lan who were hiding in the [Dongxuan Pearl] appeared together, combined with the external avatar and the witch Huan Qianqian, and directly launched a fierce attack on the [Gold-Eating Beast].
Naturally, there will be no suspense in this battle where strength and numbers are completely unequal.
After the [Gold-Eating Beast] was introduced into the valley basin, its fate was already doomed.
The whole battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the [Gold-eating Beast] was decapitated by Zhou Yang's direct use of [Canglong Sky-Splitting Slash], and it was so dead that it could no longer die.
After killing the [Gold-eating Beast], Zhou Yang immediately took out its demon pill.
So far, he has obtained three of the five substitute spiritual objects given by Taoist Lan, leaving only the two spiritual objects of wood and fire attributes that have not yet been found.
Of course, the valuable things on the [Gold-eating Beast] are not only demon pills, but its corpse is also a priceless spiritual object.
Because these strange beasts eat spiritual gold for a living, their bodies have already been metalized. When they were alive, their flesh and blood bones still had the characteristics of flesh and blood creatures. When they died, the vitality in the corpses dissipated, leaving only the pure condensed gold energy.
thing.
After Zhou Yang took the demon pill, he set up a stove on the spot, put all the spirit gold transformed from the flesh and bones of the [Gold-Eating Beast] into the cauldron, and used [Qian Yang True Fire] to refine and remove the impurities, and finally got a piece of
Sixth-level spiritual gold [blood-patterned fine gold] weighing a thousand kilograms.
Such a large piece of sixth-level spiritual gold is very rare in the world of immortality.
In fact, it is precisely because a strange beast like the [Gold-Eating Beast] can be used in this way that the immortal cultivators in the past would hunt down this beast on a large scale, so much so that it is now very difficult to find a low-level [Gold-Eating Beast].
Not to mention the sixth level [Gold-Eating Beast].
After obtaining such a large piece of sixth-level spiritual gold, coupled with the [Tianwai Meteor Gold] that he already had, Zhou Yang felt that he could start the sword refining plan after returning home.
But before going back, he still had to try to find the lair of the [Gold-Eating Beast].
The lairs of high-level monsters like this are usually accompanied by good spiritual objects, and many high-level monsters will put the rare treasures they collect in their lairs as collections.
It's a pity that he couldn't get what he wanted this time.
The lair of the [Gold-eating Beast] is located deep in the underground veins, and the rich gold energy in this giant gold-eating vein not only covers up the aura of the [Gold-Eating Beast], but also excludes all other non-metallic magical powers.
Although Zhou Yang also has metallic spiritual roots, he has never mastered the art of metal escape. It is not that difficult to find the [gold-eating beast]'s lair in this environment.
And he didn't have much time to spend on this matter.
So he could only write down the location of this giant gold mineral vein, and prepare to give the map to the Zhou family when he returns. In the future, if any of the younger disciples of the Zhou family master the art of gold escape, they can try their luck here.
