Southeast of Lanzhou, Biyanze.

Biyanze is a vast swamp in the southeast of Lanzhou, which has been going east and even into the uninhabited wilderness outside Yasukuni.

This place is also a treasure hunting place for many scattered cultivators in Lanzhou, which is pregnant with a variety of special elixirs that are difficult to find elsewhere.

On this day, led by Zhou Jiarui, the fourth elder of the Zhou family, as many as eight Zhou family monks, including Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiacheng, Zhou Jiafei, Zhou Zhengjing, and Zhou Zhengtao, rode the bighorn green sheep to a lakeside grassland in the northwest of Biyanze.

They came here in such a big battle this time only because of a discovery made by Zhou Jiacheng in Biyanze.

It turned out that since Zhou Jiacheng failed to take Zhuji Dan to impact Zhuji, he felt ashamed of his family, and he had no face to face other clansmen.

So he took the initiative to take on the task of finding rare birds and beasts for the Zhou family, and explored in the mountains, rivers and lakes where monsters were entrenched everywhere for a long time.

Half a month ago, after he and two loose cultivators entered Biyanze for an expedition, they found a rare monster beast, the octagonal deer, on a small island deep in Biyanze, and it was a whole herd of deer.

The octagonal deer is a kind of amphibious low-level demon beast, its body is huge, much larger than the ordinary buffalo, and the two antlers on the head are each open with four forks, which has the ability to climb the mountains and enter the sea.

In terms of being a substitute spirit animal, the octagonal water deer is more suitable for immortal cultivators than the [Ink Scale Pony].

So after discovering the deer, Zhou Jiacheng quickly found a reason to end the expedition plan and quickly returned to Zhou's house to report the matter.

After Zhou Daoyi learned about this, he also attached great importance to it, and quickly discussed it with several elders and formulated an arrest plan.

Therefore, there was a scene of Zhou Chun and others appearing outside Biyanze.

At this moment, on the edge of the turquoise water, after the Zhou family and his party got off the back of the bighorn green sheep, they looked at the water in front of them.

It is difficult to see the end of this water, and there are many aquatic plants such as reeds growing in it, and some tall trees can even be seen in the distance, and there seems to be a small island.

Farther away, it was white, shrouded in mist.

Except for Zhou Jiacheng, everyone else here is coming here for the first time.

Therefore, when the others looked at the water in front of them, Zhou Jiacheng explained on the side: "There is often a thick fog in the Biyanze, and the small island where the octagonal deer are located is also in the depths of the water. ”

"The boat ride is too slow, and the goal is big."

Zhou Jiarui shook his head, but he rejected the plan to go by boat.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Zhengchun, your silver lightning thunder python should also be able to swim in the water, can you let it take us forward?" ”

"You can give it a try."

Zhou Chun groaned slightly, then nodded slightly and promised to give it a try.

The original silver lightning thunder python may not be very water-based.

But now that the Jiaolong bloodline has been initially strengthened, its water nature should not be bad.

Immediately, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist and released the silver lightning python.

When the silver-white giant python that was more than five zhang long and covered with dragon scales all over its body appeared on the grass in front of Zhou Chun, several other Zhou family monks present were full of brilliance in their eyes, and they couldn't help but show envy.

Silver Lightning Thunder Python, an intermediate-level demon beast, is still a rare thunder demon beast, and it also has the blood of a dragon.

With this level of spiritual pet, the Zhou family has no one to compare with except for the Fire God Jackal of the Supreme Elder and the Azure Cloud Python of the Patriarch.

Even the two spirit pets that the Third Elder Zhou Daoquan had cultivated to the second order were a step worse than them.

"The thirteenth brother is really good luck, I heard that this silver lightning thunder python was originally given to you by the Mu family, but I'm afraid that after they learn about it now, their intestines will be repentant!"

Zhou Zhengtao looked at the silver lightning thunder python with envy on his face, and his mouth was full of sour words.

How could he not be sour!

I think that at the beginning, the two of them also participated in the joint fighting competition of the five major immortal cultivation families, and they were rewarded by the family together in the top ten of the youth group.

At that time, Zhou Chun didn't see much of a gap with him, he just cultivated to a lower level than him, and he was a little younger.

But since then, although he has made a lot of progress, his cultivation has steadily improved.

But compared with Zhou Chun, it is undoubtedly a world of difference.

Up to now, when the monks of the Zhou family talked about Zhou Chun, who didn't praise it, and who didn't praise it?

Even the elders of many "family" generations have praised and admired this junior.

This is an honor that even Zhou Zhengkang, a genius monk of the Zhou family, has not had.

If it is said that they are the most likely to succeed in building a foundation in their "positive" generation, it must be Zhou Chun.

As for him Zhou Zhengtao, he is just a junior with more natural ability in the eyes of his elders, which is far from enough to be compared with Zhou Chun.

In the face of Zhou Zhengtao's sour words, Zhou Chun just met his eyelids and said: "The starling brother is serious, and the little brother is ashamed." ”

Then he ignored the other party and directly let the silver lightning thunder python swim to the front of Mizuzawa.

Not to be envied is mediocrity.

Since Zhou Chun was appointed by the patriarch Zhou Daoyi as the patriarch's secretary, he knew that he would definitely be jealous of some of his peers and even elders.

Therefore, he has been working hard to show himself all these years, showing his strength and ability in all aspects, in order to gain the recognition of the elders of the family and most of the elders.

Now that he has won the recognition and support of the elders of the family and many elders, he has laid a solid foundation.

In this case, even if a person like Zhou Zhengtao is jealous of his status and treatment in the family, it is difficult to affect him in the slightest.

If he dares to do anything excessive, he doesn't even need to take action, and naturally there are clan rules to punish him.

And Zhou Zhengtao obviously knows this.

Therefore, after seeing that Zhou Chun was just perfunctory to himself, he ignored it, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to dwell on it anymore, and immediately closed his mouth.

This scene was seen in the eyes of the other Zhou family members, and it immediately made everyone feel emotional.

Next, Zhou Chun tried it and found that although the silver lightning thunder python was a little difficult to carry eight people, it was barely feasible with the buoyancy of water.

So the eight of them stepped on the back of the silver lightning thunder python together, and carried it on the water and moved forward quickly.

I saw that on the turquoise water, a silver line was quickly shuttling forward in the water, and on it were eight monks of the Zhou family of different heights.

And because the Silver Lightning Thunder Python at this time was already a first-order high-grade demon beast, there were no blind demon beasts on the way who dared to attack Zhou Chun and them.

Even if there are some casual cultivators who occasionally explore and hunt for treasures in the blue smoke ze, and they happen to see their strange group, they will be left behind quickly because they are not as fast as them.

In this way, under the guidance of Zhou Jiacheng, the silver lightning thunder python carried Zhou Chun and eight people in the water for more than 300 miles, and finally arrived at an island in the mist.

"This is it, on the north side of the island is a large green meadow with lush and fresh green sprouts, and the octagonal deer must have used it as a permanent feeding ground."

On the island, after the eight people landed, Zhou Jiacheng observed the surrounding environment for a while, and nodded affirmatively, affirming that he had not taken the wrong path.

Hearing his words, Zhou Jiarui said: "Then I'll go over and check first, you guys are here to rest and wait for news." ”

Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this.

So he watched Zhou Jiarui perform the "Lin Yin Cicada Breath Technique" to restrain his breath and walked towards the north of the island.

After waiting like this for almost an hour, Zhou Jiarui flew back.

Then he looked at the people who were looking forward to it and said: "I have seen the green grassland that the seventeenth brother said, and there are indeed hoof prints left by the octagonal deer on it, but there is no trace of the deer herd now. ”

This result is also reasonable and not a surprise.

Therefore, although the crowd was a little disappointed, they were not discouraged.

When they went deep into the island together, they hid on a high point on the island, silently waiting for the arrival of the octagonal deer.

In the process of waiting, it suddenly rained heavily on the island, in order to avoid the sound of the explosion alarming the possible octagonal deer, Zhou Chun and the others could only be drenched by the torrential rain, and all of them were drenched into soup chickens.

Fortunately, everyone is an immortal cultivator, and the rain is not a big problem, so you won't get sick.

And not long after the rainstorm stopped, Zhou Jiarui, who was the highest cultivation on the scene, suddenly moved, and said softly: "It's here!" ”

Hearing his words, everyone hurriedly opened their eyes and looked at the green grass two or three miles ahead.

I saw that in the mist, more than a dozen giant deer with blue-brown hair quietly emerged from the green grass and waterfront, and landed on the island silently.

Then the leading stag had a flash of inspiration in his eyes, raised his front legs, stood up, glanced around, and shook his ears to listen carefully to the sounds of the island.

After making sure that there is nothing abnormal, he made a low sound of "young", indicating that everything is normal and he can eat with confidence.

So the two little cubs of the deer herd, who looked like they were still underage, immediately shouted a few times for joy, and threw themselves into the green grass in front of them, and devoured the tender and juicy green sprouts after the rain.

Then the other octagonal deer also dispersed, and each chose a piece of green grass of his choice and began to eat slowly.

Only the leading stag never lowered its head to eat, but kept looking in all directions to keep watch for the deer.

Zhou Chun counted, counting the two cubs, there were a total of fourteen deer in the herd, which was not much, but it was not a lot.

"I'll take the lead deer, and I can trap a stag in addition, those two fawn cubs can be left alone, and which of you can hold one more of the other deer?"

On the high ground, Zhou Jiarui looked at the deer herd for a while, and then sent a message to everyone to ask about the situation.

"I can take three heads."

As soon as Zhou Chun opened his mouth, everyone else was surprised, and they all looked at him in surprise.

But it's hard to say much at this time.

Only Zhou Jiarui nodded slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then there is no problem, let's set our own goals first." ”

So several Zhou family monks looked at the octagonal deer scattered on the green grass to feed, and quickly determined their own goals.

Then Zhou Jiarui gave an order, and the eight people quietly approached the deer.

As a result, as soon as they arrived 300 feet away from the herd, the stag, which had been vigilant, suddenly heard the movement and shouted a warning.

"Do it!"

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Zhou Jiarui immediately shouted and gave the order to move, and then flew straight towards the buck.

At the same time, several monks with flying magic weapons, such as Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiacheng, also flew towards the deer group for the first time, and the others used the "wind control technique" to rush to the ground.

And after the deer received the warning from the leader deer, they also put down their food and moved closer to the leader deer as soon as possible.

As a result, Zhou Jiarui flew into the air, directly knocked the leading deer to the ground with a stick, and casually cast a spell with a first-order high-grade wood spell "Thorn Entanglement" to trap a stag whose cultivation was second only to the leading deer.

Later, Zhou Chun also arrived at the battlefield and directly released the rock and soil turtle and the silver lightning thunder python.

I saw that after the rock turtle appeared, it directly trapped a female deer with a "dungeon technique", and then performed a "gravity technique" to make it difficult for the other female deer to move an inch, like carrying a thousand catties of heavy burden.

The silver lightning thunder python opened its mouth and spit out, and a ball of silver-white thunder and lightning flew out of its mouth, turning into a silver lightning thunder net to cover a stag, and it was so electric that it foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

In addition, Zhou Chun himself was not idle.

I saw that with a wave of his hand, the "lock gold ring" flew out of his sleeve, and at once it caught the neck of a frightened stag that wanted to leave the deer fleeing first, and strangled it to the ground, unable to move.

In this way, he actually trapped four octagonal deer by himself.

Seeing him so brave, the other Zhou family monks were surprised, but they were also unwilling to lag behind, and each used their own means to trap and block the target, so that the target would not have a chance to escape.

In this way, in less than half an hour, all fourteen octagonal deer of all sizes were taken down and stunned.

"Alright, the mission is complete, and the next thing is how to transport these guys back to the family safely and completely!"

Zhou Jiarui looked at the dozen or so octagonal deer on the ground who had passed out in a coma, slapped his palms lightly, and showed a relaxed smile on his face.

Then he praised Zhou Chun again: "Zhengchun, you did a very good job this time, no wonder the patriarch must let you be brought here." ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, he just smiled and did not answer.

Indeed, if it weren't for the Silver Lightning Thunder Python, they might be able to complete the task, but it might not be as easy as it is now.

The paralyzing effect of the thunder spell is definitely a big killer for a demon beast like the octagonal water deer, whose cultivation is generally at the level of a first-order demon beast.

After being electrocuted, they couldn't escape at all.

Even the leading deer of the first-order high-grade demon beast level only needed to stack a few more "lightning spells" to make it faint.

And it is not difficult to transport back fourteen octagonal deer, but it is not easy to say.

Two deer cubs and a few female deer with lower strength can be fed a large dose of ecstasy medicine, so that they will be in a coma and put into the spirit beast bag and take it away directly.

But this is not the case with the leader and the other two stronger bucks.

Because if you want to stun these three bucks all the time, the dose of the beast drug must be increased to a large amount, but if the dose is too large, it is easy to completely damage the brains of the three bucks, and even make them heart failure.

So after discussion, it was decided that Zhou Jiarui would return to the family with those stunned octagonal deer first, while the others would wait on the island.

When he comes back again, he will transport the three bucks by land and water.

After discussing in this way, Zhou Jiarui determined Zhou Chun as the temporary leader of the team, and returned to the family first.
