Looking at the dark iron-devouring rat cave, two pale red objects not far away glowed with a faint aura. Zhou Huan felt that this might be the treasure guarded by the red snake, and thought that this could be regarded as a blessing and a curse.

Then he took out a shirt from the storage bag, roughly wrapped his right hand, and carefully grabbed the pale red object.

After a while, Zhou Huan stretched out his hand back, and then pulled out the torch that had just been inserted on the ground with his left hand, reflected it on the thing he was holding in his right hand, and took a closer look.

I saw Zhou Huan stunned for a while and muttered to himself; "This thing can't be the egg of the Red Snake. If this is the case, then it makes sense, why the previous big snake was not as strong as rumored, it may be the reason why these two eggs were just laid. ”

Zhou Huan looked at the two snake eggs in his hand, felt the aura and vitality inside, and after thinking about it, he was ready to take them back and see if they could hatch them.

If it is done, then in the future, he Zhou Huan can be regarded as a monk with spirit beasts, and he can still match the spirit beasts in the middle stage of qi refining, thinking of the depths, he laughed happily.

At this time, the iron-devouring rat in the mine cave had not been resolved, but the true qi in Zhou Huan's body was already empty because of the previous fierce battle, so he immediately turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mine, preparing to go back to Xiaoyan Peak to move a rescuer.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, Zhao Tieniu greeted him, and saw that Zhou Huan had many wounds on his clothes at this time, and said cautiously: "Immortal Master, this trip. . . ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Huan: "There was a slight accident, and the iron devouring rat has not been cleared yet." I'll go back to Xiaoyanfeng first, and come back immediately, you look good here, don't let people get close to the entrance of the cave. ”

"Yes, Immortal Master." Zhao Tieniu didn't dare to think about anything, and immediately replied respectfully.

After a short time, Zhou Huan took two snake eggs and quickly returned to the courtyard on Xiaoyan Peak, then walked into his stone house, took out the jade bowl from the storage bag, and gently put the snake eggs into it.

Then he took out a set of clothes from the storage bag, took off the clothes that were already in tatters, untied the gourd around his waist, probably cleaned up the many wounds on his body, and put on new clothes.

"Senior brother, come out quickly, 100,000 is urgent." Zhou Huan walked out of his house door, walked quickly to the front of the Fangzheng stone house and said.

After a while, Fang Zheng put away the exercises, got up and walked out.

"Senior brother can figure it out, let's go to the mining area first, the situation is urgent, talk while walking." Zhou Huan didn't wait for Fang Zheng to say anything, so he pulled him towards the north of the mining area.

Along the way, Zhou Huan explained the situation in the mine at that time, and also mentioned that he really used the gourd as a defensive weapon as Pang Zhengyuan said, and Fang Zheng smiled helplessly.

After a while, the two arrived at the entrance of the mine, Zhou Huan asked Zhao Tieniu if there was any abnormal movement, and after receiving a negative answer, he re-entered the mine.

Zhou Huan led the way in front, and after walking a few hundred meters, he came to the place where he had fought fiercely with the Red Snake before.

Looking at the corpse of the big snake covered with sword marks on the scales all over his body, and the red iron sword broken into two sections on the side, even if Zhou Huan told it before, it was still not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes. Fang Zheng said with some solemnity and envy: "It seems that Senior Brother is deeply hidden, if only I had such strength." ”

"It's a fluke. By the way, those iron-devouring rats are not far ahead, and they are bothering their junior brothers to clean up. Zhou Huan was a little embarrassed and touched his nose.

"Okay." Fang Zheng didn't say much, picked up the long sword in his left hand, pinched the magic trick in his right hand, and walked forward.

I saw bursts of blue light flashing, and the squeaking sound in front gradually became quieter, and after a while, Fang Zheng returned to Zhou Huan's side with all the corpses of the iron-devouring rats in his hands.

"Senior brother, do you want these rat skins?" Fang Zheng asked with a hint of embarrassment.

"Senior brother, this is what you killed, it should be yours, there is no need to do this." Zhou Huan replied with a smile.

After getting along for the past four years, Zhou Huan knew that his friend and junior brother was a monk with good words and deeds, so it was a little funny to listen to his words at this time.

After a while, Zhou Huan looked at Fang Zheng, who had just finished processing the rat skin, and said, "Senior brother, help burn this snake corpse and the rat corpse together, I'm afraid that the smell of blood may attract other demon beasts." ”

"Okay, brother." As the two of them finished disposing of all the demon beast corpses in the cave, Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng walked out of the cave, explained some matters to Zhao Tieniu, and returned to Xiaoyanfeng together.

Within a few days, Zhou Huan healed his wounds and was ready to start his daily cultivation again, as well as tossing the gourd.

Before that, Zhou Huan was going to try to see if he could really hatch these two snake eggs, and the two snake eggs were still alive inside.

Then Zhou Huan found a basin, which was covered with several inches of fresh sand from Wangkong Lake, and then arranged two snake eggs horizontally on the sandy surface, then covered the snake eggs with some weeds and green vines, and finally pierced many holes with a large piece of fabric taken from the old clothes to cover the mouth of the basin.

Zhou Huan looked at his results with satisfaction, and then sat down on the wooden bed to carry the basic five elements technique.

As soon as he finished running for a week, Zhou Huan felt that something was wrong, and his cultivation speed seemed to have slowed down a bit, and then he used his divine sense to look inside the dantian, and found that the small cloud of gray qi in the center of the dantian was much smaller than a few days ago.

"It can't be the reason why I killed the big snake before." Zhou Huan sat on the wooden bed and thought for a while, and said alone, "Using this mysterious gray qi driving technique, although it is very powerful, it will consume the gray qi itself, so it seems that it can only be used as a life-saving means to press the bottom of the box." ”

After solving his doubts, Zhou Huan began to practice step by step.

More than a month later, it was Pang Zhengyuan's turn to supervise the mining area. Because it was not his own turn, Zhou Huan cultivated in the house until the end of the house before leaving the house.

Zhou Huan just went out and walked into the courtyard, and found that Fang Zheng was already sitting on the stone bench like Pang Zhengyuan.

"As soon as I finished talking to Senior Brother Pang, it just so happened that Senior Brother came out, I have cultivated to the third level of Qi refining, if I can, how about we set off for the nearest Fang Market tomorrow?" Fang Zheng said.

"Senior brother, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and I'll go tomorrow." Zhou Huan replied with some excitement, turned his head and asked Pang Zhengyuan, "Senior Brother Pang went to see and see together?" ”

"I'm not going, it's not as fun as fishing." Pang Zhengyuan is still the same as the answer in the previous months, lacking interest. "I'm more interested in whether my brother's snake eggs can hatch." Pang Zhengyuan continued.

"I don't know if I can do it, I haven't raised snakes before, and I don't know how snake eggs hatch, so I'm just tossing around." Zhou Huan replied with some uncertainty.

Then Fang Zheng took out the map of the Biluo Sect region from the storage bag, and slowly unfolded it on the stone table, looking at the marks and words of various mountains, rivers, seas and rivers dotted on the map, Zhou Huan felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, he must go all over the Tianbao Continent in his lifetime.

"The nearest market to this place is here, about 100 miles away from the mining area." Fang Zheng pointed to a mark on the map and said, "This place is called Changqingfang City, the specific situation is unknown, I think it should be similar to the Fang Market recorded in the books in the sect before." ”

Next, Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng discussed the preparations to be made before leaving for a while, said hello to Pang Zhengyuan, and went back to their rooms to prepare.

Back in the room, Zhou Huan walked to the basin on the wooden bench by the window, sensed the snake eggs with his divine sense, and found that the condition was good, still full of life, and he didn't know how long it would take for the baby snake to hatch.

Then Zhou Huan counted the things he wanted to bring, then sat up cross-legged and began to cultivate, waiting for the next day to come.

The next day, Zhou Huan and Fang Zheng each changed into a set of simple clothes and headed towards Changqingfang City, which was in the direction pointed out by the Kanyu map.
