Chapter Seventy-One: Puppet Beasts and Corpses
In the "Thousand Machines Cave Heaven", after Zhou Yang did a good job of protection and entered it, he saw that Chen Pingzhi, who was one step ahead, was retreating again and again under the attack of the two puppet beasts, looking so embarrassed.
The two puppet beasts are a lion and a tiger, the lion is made of some kind of spirit wood, the size is similar to that of an ordinary natural beast lion, but the eyes are red, can release a fire ray spell to attack the enemy, and its mouth can also spray red fireballs to attack.
And that puppet tiger beast was about the same size as an ordinary tiger, but its body refining materials were mostly composed of metal.
Compared with the long-range attack of the lion, this tiger beast is obviously better at melee combat, its four claws are all made of third-order spirit gold, it can release several feet of claws to hard-connect Chen Pingzhi's flying sword attack, and it can also spit out silver-white sword qi spells from its mouth for long-range attacks, and its body defense is also much stronger than that of ordinary third-order lower-grade demon beasts.
Whether it is a lion or a tiger beast, the aura exuded from his body is much stronger than Zhou Yang, a monk who builds the first layer of the foundation, although it is not as good as Chen Pingzhi who builds the sixth layer of the foundation, but Zhou Yang estimates that it is at least equivalent to the monk who builds the third layer of the foundation to the fourth layer of the foundation.
Originally, with Chen Pingzhi's strength of building the sixth layer, even if the strength of these two puppet beasts was extraordinary, he would not be as embarrassed as he was now.
However, when he attacked the guardian circle of the cave mansion before, he had already consumed a lot of mana, and he was unprepared when he was suddenly attacked by two puppet beasts, and his strength did not even show seventy percent.
If it weren't for the fact that he was born in a big family like the Chen family, the magic powers and treasures were not weak, and now it would not be as simple as being embarrassed, but being injured or even falling.
After Zhou Yang came in and saw this situation, he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Senior Chen, do you want the juniors to help?"
Hearing his words, Chen Pingzhi's face changed and he hesitated.
From his own point of view, of course, he didn't want Zhou Yang to make a move, after all, once Zhou Yang made a move, even if his contribution was small, he had to give at least one percent of his harvest to Zhou Yang.
But with his current situation, if he insists on not letting Zhou Yang make a move, not to mention that his appearance is too ugly, he will greatly offend Zhou Yang, and even if he himself is himself, he may not be able to take the two puppet beasts in front of him.
In the end, after thinking about it for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's okay for Xiaoyou to make a move, but be careful not to destroy the bodies of these two puppet beasts, let's slowly consume it and consume the spirit stone spiritual power in their bodies." ”
Zhou Yang understood the meaning of Chen Pingzhi's words, if the puppet beast's body was not destroyed, after the spiritual power in its body was exhausted, it might be able to get two valuable treasures.
But if it is broken, there are not many people in the immortal cultivation world who know how to refine and repair this kind of puppet beast, and it will be difficult to find someone to repair it when the time comes.
Therefore, although he knew that even if the puppet beast was intact, it would not be possible for it to have its own share afterwards, but he still smiled and said, "Seniors don't worry, juniors know what to do." ”
It doesn't matter if the puppet beast doesn't have his share, the value of the intact puppet beast is not broken and comparable, and if he takes a share afterwards, even if he only takes one percent, it will be worth the ticket price this time.
With Zhou Yang's joining, Chen Pingzhi's situation immediately improved a lot.
Although Zhou Yang didn't make a full attack, he also helped him block most of the lion beast's attacks, so that with only one tiger beast left to attack in close combat, it couldn't pose much threat to him, a sixth-layer foundation building cultivator.
After about two or three quarters of an hour like this, the two puppet beasts successively exhausted the spiritual power of the spirit stones in their bodies and stopped.
"Whew, it's finally stopped!"
Seeing that the two puppet beasts stopped attacking, Chen Pingzhi, who had already seen sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and smiled bitterly at Zhou Yang: "Thanks to bringing Zhou Xiaoyou with you this time, otherwise Chen is afraid that he will really capsize in the gutter and be planted in the hands of these two puppet dead things!"
"The seniors are serious, with the means of the seniors, even if they are defeated by these two puppet beasts, they will definitely be able to retreat safely. Zhou Yang also put away the magic weapon and shook his head with a smile on his face, indicating that he did not dare to take credit.
Seeing this, Chen Pingzhi nodded slightly, and did not say any more kind words.
What Zhou Yang said was the truth, if he wasn't afraid of damaging the two puppet beasts, he would have used his hole cards to end the battle a long time ago, so why didn't he need Zhou Yang to help.
I saw him wave his sleeves and wave his hand to put the two puppet beasts on the ground that had lost power into the storage bag, and then said: "These two puppet beasts Chen will collect them first, and wait until the end of this expedition to settle Xiaoyou's share." ”
"Everything is according to what Chen's predecessors said. Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with envy, and he didn't have any objections.
Although the old patriarch Zhou Minghan once said that he was greedy and arrogant by nature when evaluating Chen Pingzhi, Zhou Yang did not believe that he would repay his debts because of this.
It is not for nothing that the immortal cultivation world has relied on debts, but the price of relying on debts is not something that everyone can bear.
It is okay for a high-level monk to repay his debts, and a low-level monk can say that at most, his reputation is discredited, but if a monk of the same level also dares to repay his debts, then he must be prepared to bear the other party's revenge.
If an immortal cultivator intends to take revenge and calculate another immortal cultivator, then the person who is calculated will definitely not have a much better life in the future, especially a family monk like Chen Pingzhi, who has a family and a business, and he will not dare to easily offend a monk of the same rank to death.
Otherwise, he Chen Pingzhi's cultivation is high and he is not afraid of retaliation, can't people sneak to kill him The low-level monks of the Chen family take revenge?
At that time, the ancestor of the Chen family will kill that person, and his fate Chen Pingzhi will definitely not be much better.
Zhou Yang didn't believe that Chen Pingzhi would not know this truth.
And Chen Pingzhi was relieved to see that he had no objection, and his perception of him was much better.
It must be known that when immortal cultivators form a team to explore, sometimes the biggest danger does not come from the formation prohibition and demon beast enemies in those secret realms of the cave mansion, but from the team itself.
Throughout the ages, I don't know how many expedition teams have opened the cave of the predecessors and found the treasures, and immediately because of the treasures, they have fought each other with swords, killing you and me, and only then do you stop after you live and die.
Zhou Yang is not afraid that Chen Pingzhi will repay his debts, and Chen Pingzhi will come to him Zhou Yang, and he is not afraid that he will dare to make a move on him.
The two went out to explore together, Chen Pingzhi and his brother Chen Ping'an explained.
If he, Chen Pingzhi, can't return to the family safely, but Zhou Yang goes back, then Chen Ping'an will definitely make up the Chen family ancestor to let Zhou Yang go to the Chen family to be investigated, and when the time comes, with the means of the Chen family ancestor, he will guarantee that Zhou Yang can reveal all the things that happened along the way word for word.
At that time, once it was found out that Zhou Yang had done something wrong, waiting for him and the Zhou family, the entire family would be uprooted by the Chen family.
The two continued to go deep into the cave, still Chen Pingzhi in front and Zhou Yang in the back, but whenever they found anything, Zhou Yang just watched Chen Pingzhi go to get it, at most, when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask a few words.
The internal space of this cave is not small, after Zhou Yang followed Chen Pingzhi through the hall guarded by the puppet beast, he went to a total of seven or eight stone rooms, and each stone room could have some gains, and even in a stone room used for refining weapons, he also harvested a third-order low-grade instrument tripod.
Finally, the two of them came to the retreat room in the deepest part of the cave.
Before arriving at the retreat room, the two looked at each other, and then Chen Pingzhi spoke first: "The remains of the owner of the cave mansion were not found in the bedroom before, if this person had not fallen outside, he would have been sitting in this retreat room. ”
"Chen's seniors are right, and the juniors are also conjecturing. Zhou Yang nodded, agreeing with his guess.
If there is no one to inherit and destroy the cave mansion left by a previous monk like this, you can actually see some of the origin and character of this person before his death.
Generally speaking, only those who like to be solitary and unfettered will hide the cave so tightly that no one knows where it is after death, and no one comes to discover the treasures left behind.
Of course, there is also a situation, that is, some masters accidentally open up a temporary cave house or a cave house annex, this kind of temporary cave house and cave house courtyard are not very important to those masters, even if they are abandoned, they are not distressed, and no one usually knows about it.
However, judging from the experience in the previous stone rooms, Zhou Yang and Chen Pingzhi had already concluded that the cultivation of the master of the cave mansion during his lifetime must not have exceeded the foundation building period, and with the financial resources of the monks in the foundation building period, it was obviously impossible to open up such a separate courtyard cave mansion outside the main cave mansion.
"I'm here to break the door. ”
Chen Pingzhi, as the leader of this expedition, of course, wanted to firmly grasp the initiative, he looked at the door of the retreat room that was still flashing with mana and was guarded by an independent small formation, and with a wave of his sleeves, he released a flying sword to attack again.
This kind of independent small formation guarding the retreat room generally serves as an early warning and anti-disturbance to the people in the retreat, and the defensive power is almost none-existent for the monks in the foundation building period.
After Chen Pingzhi's flying sword was released, it didn't take long for him to break the formation protection, and the door of the entire retreat room was shattered with a "boom".
The door shattered, and the inside of the retreat room was in full view.
Zhou Yang looked intently, only to see that in the small retreat room, like the retreat room of most foundation building monks, there was a cold jade bed, on the bed, a thin skeleton corpse shrugged its head and faced the door, from the empty eyes, he seemed to be able to feel the unwillingness and resentment of the owner of the corpse before his death.
"Sure enough, here, looking at the appearance of this guy, it should be a failure to open up the Purple Mansion, and the sea of divine consciousness has exploded and fallen!"
Chen Pingzhi's face was happy, and he said his speculation, when he stepped into the retreat room, the target was the few storage bags hanging from the waist of the corpse on the cold jade bed.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help frowning, this Chen Pingzhi was inevitably too anxious.
