Haoyang Cave.

After Zhou Yang took over the matter of guarding the spiritual vein of Haoyang Cave from his father Zhou Xuanhao, he immediately entered the spiritual vein to check the situation.

This entire Haoyang Cave spiritual vein was almost established by him, and he was naturally familiar with the environment inside.

Because Zhou Xuanhao activated the "Turbulent Jin Ge Array" in time to protect the spiritual vein, the environment in the spiritual vein has not changed much, but the water level of the underground dark river is much higher than before. Zhou Yang's divine sense swept over, and he could even sense a remnant of a pure water-based aura, which was obviously left behind by that third-order high-grade demon beast.

"It's really weird, the aura attribute of this Haoyang Cave is obviously two systems: fire and earth, it stands to reason that as a water monster, it should be instinctively disgusted and stay away from this kind of place, why does that demon beast break the protective formation at the bottom of the river and break into here?"

Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with doubt, and he felt quite puzzled by this. Demon beasts are extremely picky about the habitat environment, even when hunting, they will give priority to finding and killing prey in an environment that is favorable to them, a fire demon beast, unless it is about to starve to death, otherwise it will never jump into the rivers, lakes and seas full of water attribute aura to hunt.

Zhou Yang knew this precisely because he felt strange and unreasonable.

However, in the absence of sufficient information, even if he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to make any random guesses, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and began to debug and familiarize himself with the operation of the "Shutu Jinge Array".

If the demon beast comes again, this formation is his biggest reliance on dealing with the demon beast, after all, it is impossible for him to go into the water to fight the demon beast in person, and the demon beast is unlikely to leave the dark river and go ashore to fight him.

In the case of Zhou Yang, a monk in the foundation building period, it will take half a day to break the shield. And when attacking, the "Turbulent Jinge Array" can gather aura and release a "Ground-Splitting Jinge" to counterattack the enemy within a kilometer of the formation.

The attack power of "Earth Splitting Jinge" is also good, which is completely enough to hurt the monks of the late stage of foundation building and the third-order high-grade demon beasts.

However, this kind of attack cannot be issued continuously, and when attacking, it will reduce the defense ability of the formation shield, so it cannot be used as a normal method.

Zhou Xuanhao was able to scare away the third-order high-grade demon beast before, but that demon beast took the initiative to retreat and leave the ground after feeling the power exuded by the activation of the "Earth Splitting Golden Ge".

At this time, in order to allow the power of the formation to be fully exerted, and in order not to cause damage to the elixir planted on the spiritual vein, Zhou Yang took out hundreds of lower-grade spirit stones and buried them in the formation after debugging the formation, and then patiently waited for the demon beast to come to the door again.

Unexpectedly, he waited for nearly a month.

One day, more than a month later, when Zhou Yang was practicing, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rising from the side of the dark river.

"Is it finally here?"

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he quickly got up and released his divine sense to shoot towards the dark river.

With his current divine sense, the limit distance of divine consciousness release has reached seven or eight thousand meters, and the average new Purple Mansion stage cultivator, the distance of divine consciousness release is only more than ten thousand meters.

With such a powerful divine sense, his ability to detect the enemy's situation was much stronger than that of ordinary early foundation building monks.

As soon as the third-order high-grade demon beast entered the dark river in the depths of Haoyang Cave, Zhou Yang's divine sense released from the past clearly saw its full picture.

I saw that the appearance of this demon beast was very similar to the giant salamander (baby fish) that Zhou Yang had seen in his previous life, but the giant salamander had no fish scales on its body surface, but this demon beast was covered with fish scales except for its head, and the claws on its limbs were sharp and long, which looked very sharp.

The most peculiar thing is that there are two half-zhang long tentacles in front of the head of this demon beast, one end of the tentacles is connected to its forehead, and the other end is hung with a fist-sized luminous lens, like two glowing light bulbs.

When Zhou Yang's divine sense scanned this demon beast, the behemoth in the dark river, which was more than seven zhang long, seemed to sense it, and then the blue light flashed on the two big "light bulbs" in front of its head, and it directly blocked Zhou Yang's divine sense scanning!

At this time, his divine sense scanned the past again, just like a stealth fighter on the radar screen, and he could no longer see the existence of the demon beast through his divine sense.

"Hey, what kind of supernatural power is this?"

In the Haoyang Cave, Zhou Yang looked at the passage where the dark river was located with a surprised face, and was very surprised by the ability of the demon beast to be revealed.

This kind of supernatural power that can shield the immortal cultivator's divine sense scanning is very rare, and even if the ordinary demon beast finds that the immortal cultivator's divine sense is peeping at him, it will at most mobilize the mana in his body to cover his body, so that the peeping immortal cultivator can no longer see his appearance clearly.

Only a very small number of demon beasts that are good at stealth supernatural powers will rely on special hidden supernatural powers to make the divine consciousness of immortal cultivators unable to discover where their main body is.

Zhou Yang was even a little lucky at this time, glad that this demon beast was an aquatic demon beast and not a terrestrial demon beast.

If a third-order high-grade terrestrial demon beast also had this kind of divine power that could shield the immortal cultivator's divine sense scanning, then he could only run as far as he could now.

Without the assistance of divine sense, immortal cultivators will lose their accuracy whether they are magic weapon attacks or spell attacks, and they are no different from a blind man, so how can they continue to fight?

As for now, although the divine sense can no longer find the existence of the demon beast, but the demon beast moves in the water, and with its huge size, Zhou Yang can completely determine its approximate location through the changes in the water flow in the dark river.

Therefore, after sensing the disappearance of the demon beast's figure, he immediately began to mobilize the formation to prepare the means of attack.

Huh-

The aura fluctuations caused by Zhou Yang's mobilization formation naturally couldn't hide the demon beasts swimming in the dark river, and although it didn't know why Zhou Yang couldn't see itself, it still chose to attack, but it didn't have a reason to squat there and watch Zhou Yang cast spells.

Therefore, Zhou Yang, who was mobilizing the power of the formation, only heard a crying and moaning sound like a baby's cry, which suddenly sounded from the cave on the other side of the dark river, and then the sound of the "rumbling" river filling the entire underground cave.

Thundered!

Driven by the magic power of demon beasts, the turbulent dark river water surged like a tidal wave along the passage leading from Haoyang Cave to the location of the underground dark river.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang hurriedly mobilized the power of the formation to form a shield at the entrance of the passage to intercept it.

However, as soon as he stopped the first wave, the raging river tore the ground at the entrance of the passage to form several new passages, and the icy water of the dark river suddenly poured into the cave without hindrance, and soon submerged most of the cave under the river.

"Evil beast dares!"

Zhou Yang looked at this scene with a pale face, and was furious.

This Haoyang Cave spiritual vein was established by him, and now there are several elixir gardens that are submerged under the river, all of which he dug from Yuquan Peak with handful of soil, and planted seed by seed.

Now that this elixir garden, which had cost him a lot of effort, was suddenly flooded by the river, and several years of hard work were lost in one day, how could he not be angry!

"Give me death!"

He was furious in his heart, and immediately withdrew all the protective forces, and pulled all the formation forces together, instantly condensing a "Splitting the Earth Jinge" that was more than ten zhang long and swept towards a certain area in the river.

Jin Ge roared, dividing the river into the sea as easily as dividing the river, and finally fell on the demon beast.

Phew!

Jin Ge added his body, and the demon beast let out a miserable scream in pain, and a long wound instantly appeared on his body, and the blood flowing out of that wound was actually as blue as sea water.

It's just that before Zhou Yang could see clearly how the injuries on this demon beast were, the counterattack from the demon beast's pain had already fallen in front of him.

Whoosh!

A burst of sharp arrows burst through the air, pouring into the river water in Haoyang Cave, and instantly shot out more than a dozen blue water spears and stabbed at Zhou Yang.

These blue water spears looked inconspicuous, but their penetrating power was stronger than that of ordinary third-order flying swords.

Zhou Yang was not in the straight line attack distance of the water spear, but the water spear easily penetrated dozens of meters of mud and stones, and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, he was in the formation, and he could mobilize the power of the formation to protect himself with a single thought, and even if he mobilized the power of the formation, a thick wall was formed in front of him to block the piercing of the water spear.

However, as soon as he blocked this wave of water spear piercing, a second wave of more and stronger water spears appeared in his divine sense.

"Damn it!"

With a curse in his heart, Zhou Yang immediately chose to retreat.

It's not that he can't block this wave of attacks, but there is no need to fight anymore, if he fights mana, he can't fight a third-order high-grade demon beast no matter what.

Not to mention him, even if a ninth-layer foundation building monk came, he would definitely not be able to fight any demon beast of the same level just because of his strong mana.

It's just that Zhou Yang retreated, and Haoyang Cave was completely lost in the boundless river.

Under the control of that third-order high-grade demon beast, the turbulent dark river water even submerged most of the oasis on the ground of Haoyang Cave, making that small desert lake instantly turn into a large lake with a water area of more than twenty square kilometers.

"Good beast, I didn't expect this beast's ability to control water to be so strong, could it be that it has the blood of a dragon?"

In the sky, Zhou Yang looked at the desert lake with a sudden increase in water area, his eyes were shocked and angry, and his face was very ugly.

The water control ability and cultivation of the water demon beast are related, but the more important thing is the bloodline.

The water flow of the underground dark river under Haoyang Cave itself was not large, and ordinary third-order high-grade water-based demon beasts had no ability to make the river water rush to the ground to form such a large desert lake in front of Zhou Yang.

But now, the area of the desert lake in front of Zhou Yang has not decreased at all, and it is obvious that the demon beast has forcibly changed the water flow of the dark river channel by relying on its own supernatural powers, and the river water of other rivers has been brought here.

This kind of ability is definitely not something that an ordinary bloodline third-order high-grade water demon beast can have.

Therefore, Zhou Yang would guess whether this demon beast would have dragon blood.

If it really has the blood of Jiaolong, then its true strength is definitely not as simple as the third-order high-grade that it seems on the surface. "No matter, let's send a message to my great-grandfather first and ask him to come back and take a look, if this demon beast's ability is really more than this, I can't say that I can only invite the Purple Mansion period monk to come over and kill the demon!"

After making this decision with an ugly face, Zhou Yang turned the flying sword under his feet and returned straight to the Yuquan Lake Oasis.
