Chapter 209: Gold Devouring Beast
After Huang Yi officially joined the Zhou family, even if the Zhou family did not count Zhou Xuanyu, a foundation-building monk who could not be exposed, the number of foundation-building monks reached five.
This means that even in terms of numbers, the Zhou family has become the largest foundation building family in the Baisha River Oasis after the Chen family.
Under such circumstances, after receiving the convening order of the "Foundation Building Conference" issued by the ancestor of the Chen family, the Zhou family did not send any Qi cultivation period monks to participate, but directly went to the Baisha River Oasis by Zhou Yang and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
"I heard that the son-in-law recruited by your Zhou family more than ten years ago has also succeeded in building the foundation?
In the Baisha River Oasis, after the ancestor of the Chen family met with the two Zhou family who came to the call, he looked at the two with a complicated face and sighed.
The Chen and Zhou families have been friends for more than 200 years, and the ancestor of the Chen family has watched the establishment of the Zhou family with his own eyes, and has helped a lot in the development of the Zhou family during this period.
Now seeing that the Zhou family, which had three or two big cats and kittens, only took more than two hundred years of development, and there was a faint threat to the status of the Chen family, what he felt in his heart, then only he really knew.
When Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan heard him say this, they didn't know if the "good luck Dao" he said referred to the Zhou family or Huang Yi himself.
In the end, Zhou Yang could only reply respectfully: "Back to the ancestors, there is indeed such a thing, and the person who built the foundation is Huang Yi, the husband of the twelve sisters of the younger generation." ”
Hearing him say this, the Chen family's ancestor looked at him with a look in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at him and asked, "The old man heard that your kid went out for a trip, so he brought a beautiful Taoist companion back, why didn't you bring it over to meet the old man this time?"
He actually wanted to know what Zhou Yang had done when he went to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortals, and why Cao Wenjin had taken Zhou Yang to Liuyun Continent to cultivate immortals.
However, as someone who had the honor to go to the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent with the Huangshamen monks, he also knew that Zhou Yang must have signed a blood contract and was not allowed to reveal this, so he wanted to see if he could find anything from Xiao Ying.
Of course Zhou Yang didn't know this, he heard the ancestor of the Chen family ask like this, although he was surprised, he had nothing to hide and immediately said: "Don't dare to deceive the ancestor, Ying'er She can't get away from something in the family now, and when she finishes the matter, the younger generation will definitely bring her to meet the ancestor." ”
"Since there is something to do, let's talk about it later, and now the old man will tell you about the goal this time. ”
The ancestor of the Chen family bowed slightly, and then said in a deep voice the hunting target selected by this "Foundation Building Conference": "Our target this time is a fourth-order mid-grade demon beast [Gold Devouring Beast], and this beast's nest is in a [Silver Star Stone] vein. ”
The "Gold Devouring Beast" is a lone fourth-order demon beast, this kind of demon beast is very similar to the "Gold Eating Rat" that Zhou Yang encountered when he was in the Qi training period, both of them are a kind of demon beasts that make a living by devouring metal spiritual objects.
The difference is that the "Gold Devouring Beast" is not only as high as the fourth order, but also has extremely powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, and also has the most difficult to learn and deal with the "Golden Escape Technique" of the Five Elements Escape Technique.
Zhou Yang didn't know why the ancestor of the Chen family would choose this kind of demon beast as the hunting target, although if he chose to hunt the "Gold Devouring Beast", he didn't have to worry about facing the siege of many middle and low-level demon beasts like hunting other fourth-order demon beasts, but if the "Gold Devouring Beast" who had mastered the "Golden Escape Technique" supernatural power wanted to escape, unless the Jindan period monk made a move, who could stop it?
"Junior daring, may I ask the ancestor, you chose the [Gold Devouring Beast] as your target, but there is a way to restrict its escape?"
The stakes are very high, and Zhou Yang has no other worries at this time, and directly asks the questions in his heart.
"My Chen family has a set of fourth-order lower-grade formations, called [Five Elements Upside Down Array], once this formation is deployed, any Five Elements Escape Technique cannot be opened in the array, so the task of you foundation building period monks this time is to stabilize the formation and not break it until the old man kills it!"
The ancestor of the Chen family did not hide it, and directly said his dependence.
Using the formation to encircle and kill demon beasts is a common method used by immortal cultivators, otherwise if a high-level demon beast wants to escape, even if it is a powerful Purple Mansion monk like Jia Yunzhen, he may not be able to kill the other party.
Therefore, after Zhou Yang listened to the words of the ancestor of the Chen family, he just glanced at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, and then responded respectfully: "In this way, the younger generation has no doubts, everything is at the command of the ancestor." ”
In the next two or three months, the two members of the Zhou family had been practicing with the other eight foundation building monks and were familiar with the use of the "Five Elements Upside Down Array".
Once the enemy is trapped in the formation, not only will he be unable to perform the Five Elements Escape Technique as the Chen Family Ancestor said, but even if the other Five Elements Spells are cast, they will also be weakened by the Formation Power Reversal Five Elements Reversal.
And the ten foundation-building monks who participated in the formation drill, in addition to the two from the Zhou family, there were also two from the Chen family, and two of the remaining six people were newly vassals of the Chen family who established a family foundation building and scattered cultivation on the Baisha River Oasis, one was a real casual cultivator, and the remaining three were from the three foundation-building families such as the Yang family in Jinquan Valley.
These people, Zhou Yang is not familiar with all of them, at least they have met them a few times, they can be named, and the ten of them work together, but there is no basket.
After practicing the formation in this way for two or three months, and completely familiarizing themselves with the use of the formation, the ten foundation-building monks got on the empty boat of the ancestor of the Chen family and flew to the lair of the "Gold Devouring Beast".
As for Chen Ping'an, another Purple Mansion monk of the Chen family, who has the lessons of the last "Foundation Building Conference", how can the ancestor of the Chen family dare to go out now.
Under the control of the ancestor of the Chen family, the eighth-layer monk of the Purple Mansion, the empty building ship can fly more than 20,000 miles a day, but that's it, Zhou Yang and the others also flew for six or seven days to reach the place in the mouth of the ancestor of the Chen family.
"In fact, everyone knows that the boundless sand sea is so big, there must be more than just an oasis in the area near Huangshamen, but if it is too far away from Huangshamen, not to mention that migrating mortals is a huge project, in case something happens, maybe in the past few decades, no one may know, so our families sometimes prefer to spend a lot of spirit stones and manpower and material resources to build an oasis and spiritual veins by themselves, rather than want to establish a family branch hundreds of thousands of miles away from the family. ”
When he got off the boat, Zhou Minghan saw that Zhou Yang had some doubts about this area he had never been to, and couldn't help but secretly explain it to him.
When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately understood what Zhou Minghan meant.
That's right, if you open up a family in such a distant place, then this family is equivalent to completely out of the protection of Huangshamen, and once you encounter a powerful demon beast attack or an attack by other immortal cultivators, you can't ask for help.
So even if there is an oasis here, it can only be occupied by demon beasts, and then human monks come to harvest it every tens or hundreds of years.
The group got off the spaceship, and quickly found a suitable place to arrange the "Five Elements Upside Down Array", and then the ancestor of the Chen family killed the lair of the "Gold Devouring Beast" alone to "attract monsters".
Zhou Yang and the others gathered their good breath and hid in the dark for a while, and then they saw a golden light chasing the ancestor of the Chen family from far and near.
He fixed his eyes, and in the golden light, there was a hideous beast with a body of six feet long, a tiger head and a lion body full of fangs.
The beast was sleek and hairless, its body seemed to be made of metal, and it glowed with a dazzling golden glow in the sun.
This is the "Gold Eater", a ferocious beast that feeds on metal.
And when Zhou Yang looked at the "Gold Devouring Beast", the ancestor of the Chen family had already led the other party to the periphery of the "Five Elements Upside Down Array".
It's just that when the ancestor of the Chen family passed through the "Five Elements Upside Down Array", an accident happened.
The "Gold Devouring Beast", which had been chasing after him all the way, seemed to sense the danger, and stopped directly outside the formation, and a pair of golden beast eyes looked at the hiding place of Zhou Yang and the others in the sea of sand below.
Then this demon beast let out a warning roar at the ancestor of the Chen family from afar, and it turned directly into a golden light and returned the same way.
Zhou Yang and the others below were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
"Ancestor, what should we do now? [Gold Devouring Beast] saw the strength of the formation and refused to enter the formation, how can we kill it?"
In the sea of sand, Zhou Yang and the others walked out of the hiding place and joined the ancestors of the Chen family who had landed, and the group discussed countermeasures about what had just happened.
The demon beast saw the power of the formation and refused to enter the formation, this kind of thing is not uncommon in high-level demon beasts.
After all, although the demon beast does not understand the formation, but the sense of danger is much more acute than that of the immortal cultivator, the "Five Elements Upside Down Array", as a fourth-order lower-grade formation, already has the power to threaten the fourth-order demon beast, and after the "Gold Devouring Beast" senses this threat, it will naturally not stupidly and easily crash into it.
"Don't worry, the old man is also prepared for this, since this beast is not willing to enter the battle easily, then we will give it a reason to have to enter the battle!"
The ancestor of the Chen family swept his gaze over Zhou Yang and the others, and finally fell on Zhou Minghan and said:
"Minghan, your cultivation is the highest, the old man has a piece of [Taiyi Essence Gold] that is of great help to the advancement of the [Gold Devouring Beast], now the old man has handed it over to you for personal safekeeping, and when the old man attracts the [Gold Devouring Beast] again, after it senses that you have this thing hidden on your body, it will definitely be unable to help but enter the formation to devour this thing!"
After speaking, he didn't ask Zhou Minghan if he agreed, and with a flick of his big sleeves, he threw a fist-sized piece of white-gold ore at Zhou Minghan.
"Please rest assured that the younger generation will definitely protect this thing. ”
Zhou Minghan tightly grasped the "Taiyi Essence Gold" thrown to him by the ancestor of the Chen family with his palm, and responded to this matter in a low tone.
Seeing this, the ancestor of the Chen family's eyes flashed slightly, but his mouth said: "Although this thing is valuable, it is just a dead thing, if the situation is critical, it doesn't matter if Ming Han throws it to the [Gold Devouring Beast] to devour, as long as you can kill this fang in the end, this thing will not be wasted!"
"Yes, juniors understand. ”
