Chapter 284: The Secret of the Underground [Ask for Subscription]

After no longer being distracted and paying attention to Zhou Chun's situation, Zhou Mingde cooperated with the Spirit Pet Fire God Jackal, and he was indeed not afraid of the giant insect composed of insect swarms.

Although the aura emitted by the giant insect was comparable to that of a third-order high-grade demon beast, its strength was obviously not comparable to that of a real third-order high-grade demon beast.

After Zhou Mingde's master and servant fought with him for almost half an hour, the momentum emanating from the giant insect began to fall.

After all, the strength of those ordinary demon insects was too low, and it was difficult to maintain this kind of high-intensity battle for a long time.

And at this moment, Zhou Chun, who was watching the battle, suddenly moved his mind and couldn't help but look up in a certain direction.

But in the southwest sky, a few monks were rushing towards the battlefield.

After a while, four figures, three men and one woman, appeared outside the battlefield.

Among these four people, there are two monks in the Purple Mansion period, and the other two are also cultivators in the later stage of foundation building.

After the four of them stopped outside the battlefield, they observed the situation for a while, and one of them, a middle-aged man who had cultivated in the Purple Mansion period, said loudly: "Daoist friends in front, I don't know if you need our help?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately frowned, and the rhythm of the battle with the giant insect couldn't help but slow down a little.

He took the time to look at the four people outside the battlefield, and found that the other party happened to be a combination of a mid-stage Purple Mansion monk and an early Purple Mansion monk, and his comprehensive strength should be between him and him.

And although it is a special period for all the Terran monks to unite against the insect plague, it stands to reason that no monk will dare to take the risk of killing people and seizing treasures in this situation, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, who knows if there will really be that kind of person who is dizzy!

So after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Mingde still responded in a deep voice: "Since all Taoist friends are willing to help, Zhou is naturally grateful." ”

Hearing this answer, the middle-aged man who spoke out immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Zhou Daoyou is refreshing, then Shen is here to help Daoyou." ”

After that, he joined the battle with another woman in a red dress who had cultivated in the early stage of the Purple Mansion.

With the addition of such two new forces, the giant insect transformed by the insect swarm was quickly dispersed by the three people and a jackal, and the third-order insect king inside was finally bitten by the fire god jackal and wrenched off his head.

After killing the remaining demon insects in this way, the two groups got together and communicated with each other.

Through exchanges, I learned that the middle-aged man's name was Shen Borong, and the woman in the red dress was named Ruan Hongxiang, both of whom were from Qi Country to the west of Yang Kingdom.

This time, the two of them came to the territory of Yang Country with their juniors, and they also had an idea with the Zhou family, wanting to see if they could find something to restrain the insect swarm.

And they were attracted because they saw the figure of the giant insect here from a distance.

At this time, after a brief exchange of origins between the two sides, Shen Borong took the initiative to provoke the topic and said: "I have found a lot of insect nests before, but those insect nests have either been completely abandoned, or there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left, and there are still a large number of demon insects like here. ”

Here it comes!

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun both raised their eyebrows, knowing that the most troublesome thing was coming.

There are not so many fools in this world, and what they can think of, others may naturally think of as well.

And now that Shen Borong has made this matter clear, they can't pretend to be stupid anymore.

I saw that Zhou Mingde quickly said: "I'm guessing like this, but whether this is the case or not, we have to find out later." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Hongxiang on the side followed and said, "Then let's start exploring, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Her sentence "we" seems to be very familiar with the Zhou family.

Zhou Mingde couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, and didn't say anything more, just nodded his head slightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Immediately, the three parties separated, digging mountains and digging to find the underground mysteries.

It didn't take long for them to find the reason.

It turned out that crops similar to kudzu and cassava grew in large numbers under this mountain range, and although the fire burned the vines and trunks on the ground, most of the edible parts of the ground were fine.

The insect colony is able to sustain its daily needs by eating these underground potato crops.

That's why the swarms here don't migrate.

After figuring this out, the three parties were undoubtedly quite disappointed.

"I really didn't expect the truth to be so simple!"

Next to a dug mountain, Shen Borong looked at the potato crops buried in the ground, and his face was very ugly.

They had a lot of speculation in their hearts, but they hadn't thought about the simplest of situations.

At this time, after discovering that the truth is so simple, how can they not be disappointed.

"Now that the truth is clear, Zhou and the others will not stay here for longer, Shen Daoyou, Ruan Daoyou, the two Daoyou should cherish each other!"

Just when Shen Bowen and Ruan Hongxiang were both looking at those potato crops in a daze with disappointed faces, Zhou Mingde suddenly said that he wanted to leave.

Hearing his words, Shen and Ruan looked at the Zhou family and the two of them, then nodded politely and watched the two leave.

In this way, they had been watching the two of the Zhou family go away, and Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang, who did not give up, searched in the mountains several times, and finally left this place with unwillingness.

On the other hand, although the two Zhou families were also quite disappointed in their hearts, at least they were not completely without gains.

Although the intervention of Shen Borong and Ruan Hongxiang reduced their gains, the corpse of the third-order demon insect finally fell into their hands.

Compared to the third-order demon beasts, the third-order demon insects did not condense the inner pill in their bodies, which was the biggest reason why the strength of the third-order demon insects was generally inferior to the third-order demon beasts and Purple Mansion stage cultivators.

But this doesn't mean that the corpse of a third-order demon insect has no value.

In fact, the corpse of the third-order demon insect was a treasure in itself.

The shell, feet, sharp teeth, and even the eyes of the demon insects are all very good refining materials.

And those second-order demon insect corpses that were collected could also be taken to the Fang Market to sell them for spirit coins.

Because the reinforcements of various countries and factions began to exterminate the demon insects in Rongguo, they also issued relevant rewards to the disciples of the sect, and the corpse of a second-order demon insect can allow those disciples to obtain a lot of good deeds in their own sect.

Since the corpse of the demon insect has this effect, there will naturally be people who are willing to buy the corpse at a slightly lower price to brush the battle record.

But just when the two of them were about to continue to look for something to restrain the demon insects in the territory of Yangguo, Zhou Chun suddenly shouted as if he remembered something: "Something is wrong, something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong? What did you think of? ”

Zhou Mingde's face was stunned, and he couldn't help but let the fire god jackal who was walking stop and looked at Zhou Chun suspiciously.

And Zhou Chun didn't hide it at all, and soon said in a deep voice: "Elder Taishang, think about it, even if those potatoes buried in the ground can be used as food for demon insects, but for second-order demon insects and third-order demon insects, just by eating these ordinary foods without any spiritual power, how can they be able to supply them to grow?" ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde also stared, and then said, "You mean, there is something else buried underground?" ”

"The younger generation can't say it well now, but this kind of unreasonable thing must have another inside story!"

Zhou Chun answered Zhou Mingde's question in a low voice, and the meaning was also expressed.

"Okay, then let's go back and look for it again!"

Zhou Mingde did not hesitate and quickly made a decision.

So the two of them turned back into the mountain range.

This time, the two of them not only searched for it by themselves, but also released all the spirit pets to look for it together.

As a result, after looking for a long time, I really made an unexpected discovery.

The anomaly was spotted by the golden-armored rock turtle.

It itself is an earth-walking demon beast, and later mutated into metallic, and has a sense of the earth that ordinary people can't reach.

This time, when it was searching alone in the mountain range, it vaguely sensed a strong earthy spiritual power hidden in the depths of the earth, and then notified Zhou Chun.

And after Zhou Chun learned about the anomaly underground from the Golden Armor Rock Turtle, he immediately asked Zhou Mingde to follow the induction of the Golden Armor Rock Turtle to dig up.

Inevitably, the movement was too big, and it was discovered by other monks passing by, and this time they also arranged a formation that they carried with them to cover up the movement of the excavation.

After digging about a hundred feet deep, the two finally discovered the anomaly underground through their divine sense.

It turned out that the rich earthy spiritual power that the Golden Armor Rock Turtle sensed was actually emitted by a kind of spiritual jade.

Deep underneath this mountain range, there is actually a [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein buried!

[Tuyuan Jingyu] is a good thing.

This kind of spiritual jade contains pure earth-moving spiritual power, and has an excellent ability to accommodate earth-moving spiritual power, and has a great effect in the field of refining weapons and formations.

Generally, if you want to build a mountain protection array, this thing is one of the necessary materials.

Moreover, Zhou Mingde also knew that some Jindan stage monks would also use secret methods to extract the spiritual power contained in the [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] to condense the magic weapon, which could enhance the power of the magic weapon!

Therefore, in the world of cultivating immortals, this kind of spiritual object is the most unmarketable, and the price is not cheap.

Obviously, those demon insects only found that there were [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] veins here, and there was enough food, so they refused to migrate and chose to stay.

If it hadn't been discovered and eliminated by Zhou Chun and them, giving those demon insects enough time, relying on the abundant food here and the [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] vein, this insect swarm might have been able to multiply into that kind of tens of millions of existences!

After all, when winter turns to spring, the land of Yangguo that has been burned by fire is bound to rejuvenate and regain its vitality.

At that time, the swarm will have more food to eat.

"[Tuyuan Crystal Jade] is indeed a good thing, even if this vein is just a tiny vein, it is worth no less than a million spirit coins!"

"But this is the Yang country, our Zhou family is thousands of miles away from here, how can we mine this vein?"

At this moment, Zhou Mingde, who was happy, quickly looked at Zhou Chun and said what the problem was.

The value of the vein is undoubted, but the difficulty of mining the vein is not ordinary.

In the past in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, many scattered cultivators had discovered mineral veins, but because they were alone, they were unable to occupy the mineral veins at all in the end.

Those who have the strength and courage may be able to sell the news of the vein at a good price.

If you don't have the strength and guts, you can only dig up some ore by yourself to sell, and you have to be careful when selling.

Although the Zhou family is also a force, but their family is far away in Yasukuni, it is obviously impossible for them to send someone to occupy this [Tuyuan Jingyu] vein and mine it.

If they could not occupy the area and mine the veins, it would be of great significance to them.

Can't the two of them also learn those loose cultivators and secretly mine here!

Therefore, after Zhou Chun listened to Zhou Mingde's words, his excitement suddenly dispersed, and he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

In all fairness, he definitely didn't want to give up this [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein.

This is definitely the most precious vein that the Zhou family has discovered so far, and it is even more high-grade than the bastile mine shared by the four families.

Moreover, this vein is currently known only to them, and it can be said that there are no forces near the vein now.

But the reality has to be faced, the little Zhou family really can't reach out to this kind of vein thousands of miles away.

Not to mention the Zhou family, even if it is replaced by a big force like Qinglian Guan, I am afraid that my hand will not be able to stretch out so long!

At this time, seeing that Zhou Chun had not spoken for a long time, Zhou Mingde tried to propose: "Why don't you find a force to sell this news?" With the old man's cultivation strength, as long as he is not too greedy, he should be able to sell this news for 350,000 spirit coins! ”

Selling the news of the ore vein is undoubtedly the next policy, and it is something that only casual cultivation can do.

Compared to sitting on treasure land and not being able to mine it, selling it for spirit coins is undoubtedly also a way.

Thirty or fifty thousand spirit coins are nothing compared to the value of the [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein, and there will definitely be forces interested in it.

And Zhou Mingde's cultivation strength in the purple mansion period, it is relatively safe to do this kind of business, and it is not easy to be killed.

But how could Zhou Chun be willing to use this kind of strategy!

He didn't rush to pick up Zhou Mingde's words, and was still thinking about a better way to deal with it.

After a short period of time passed like this, Zhou Chun's expression suddenly relaxed, as if he had thought of some good way.

I saw him look up at Zhou Mingde, and said with a slight smile: "The junior has thought of a better way to dispose of it than selling the ore vein, Elder Taishang, you might as well guess what the method is!" ”

"You kid, you still sold off with the old man!"

Zhou Mingde's eyes widened, and he couldn't help urging: "Say it quickly, what good idea did you come up with." ”

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "The younger generation thinks that although my Zhou family can't send someone to mine this [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] vein, it doesn't mean that my Zhou family can't use this [Tuyuan Crystal Jade] vein!" ”

What do you mean by that? Since it can't be mined, how can it be used? ”

Zhou Mingde frowned, not understanding what Zhou Chun meant.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately spread his hands and said, "Elder Taishang, you think, we can let a person who has the ability to mine this [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] vein come over and open a mine, and then we can take a cut of it!" ”

"And who has the ability to do this?"

Zhou Mingde asked after him, and he didn't bother to think about it.

"Of course it's that Lin Hongyu's senior, with her cultivation in the late stage of the Purple Mansion, after the insect plague is eliminated, she can come to this Yang country to occupy a spiritual land and open up a stronghold, and after the Yang country is robbed, it will be difficult to attract all parties to enclose the land here like before!"

"When Lin Hongyu's predecessors open mines here, most of the output can be at her disposal, and our Zhou family, as the news provider, will share her harvest in half, which is not too much!"
