Chapter 210: Borrowing a knife to kill
"Great-grandfather, let's let my grandson take care of that piece of [Taiyi Essence Gold]!"
In the boundless sea of sand, Zhou Yang and the others, who had already changed places and re-laid out the formation, hid underground again and waited for the ancestor of the Chen family to attract the "Gold Devouring Beast".
While waiting, Zhou Yang once again couldn't help but pass the message to the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, wanting to keep the "Taiyi Essence Gold" that lured the "Gold Devouring Beast" into the battle on his behalf.
Now that the matter has come to this, the reason why the ancestor of the Chen family chose the "Gold Devouring Beast" as the target of hunting is already very clear.
I'm afraid that in addition to the reason why the "Gold Devouring Beast" is easy to kill alone, there is another important reason, that is, it wants to use the opportunity to kill the "Gold Devouring Beast" and use the "Gold Devouring Beast" to severely damage the two monks of the Zhou family.
The fact that the "Gold Devouring Beast" would find the "Five Elements Upside Down Array" and stop moving forward must have been expected by the ancestor of the Chen family earlier, and he deliberately prepared the bait of "Taiyi Essence Gold".
He didn't take out this bait before, of course, he had to set up the "archway" first, and tell Zhou Yang that if there was no bait, the "Gold Devouring Beast" would definitely not take the bait.
After the "Gold Devouring Beast" really stopped outside the formation as expected, and turned to leave, he took out the bait again, which could not only show that he was far-sighted and prepared, but also make Zhou Minghan unable to find a reason to refuse to be a bait!
At the same time, Zhou Yang also knew at this time why the monk of the Yang family of Jinquan Valley who came to participate in the foundation building conference this time was not Yang Xingyan, the head of the family he was quite familiar with, but another mid-stage foundation building monk who had cultivated the fifth layer of the foundation.
Because Yang Xingyan is pregnant with the spirit root, he is now a ninth-level monk of the foundation building, if he also comes along, how can the ancestor of the Chen family logically let Zhou Minghan take over the bait of "Taiyi Essence Gold"?
Knowing this, Zhou Yang, as a junior, has superb self-sustaining strength, of course, he is unwilling to let the old patriarch Zhou Minghan take risks, and wants to replace him to hold "Taiyi Essence Gold" as a bait.
But how could Zhou Minghan be willing to let him, the hope of the Zhou family, do such a dangerous thing?
"Xiao Jiu, you don't have to say much, this matter belongs to the old man, you just have to protect yourself, the old man can die, you must not have an accident!"
Zhou Minghan replied to Zhou Yang in a firm tone, and his voice was full of tragedy.
If the "Gold Devouring Beast" attacked, he would definitely be the first to be attacked, and with the strength of the "Gold Devouring Beast", under the frontal attack, he would have a fourth-order defensive spirit rune in his hand, and he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to save his life.
"Damn!"
Of course, Zhou Yang also understood this, so after he heard Zhou Minghan's decisive words, his hands couldn't help but clench into fists, and his eyes were full of resentment.
Although before participating in this "Foundation Building Conference", the two had already guessed that the ancestor of the Chen family might make some moves in this matter, so they made some preparations in advance.
But neither of them expected that the ancestor of the Chen family would directly use this method of killing people with a knife to hit the Zhou family so without any scruples.
If he knew that the Chen family's ancestor was so determined to attack the Zhou family, even if Zhou Yang didn't want the foundation building pill after this "foundation building conference", he would definitely not participate in this "foundation building conference".
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and since they came out with the ancestor of the Chen family, there is no way out.
At this time, if they suddenly gave up participating in the "Foundation Building Conference", it would not only give the Chen family ancestor an excuse to attack them, but also offend other monks and families who passed through.
At that time, the Zhou family's industries in the Baisha River Oasis, including the "Fengyue Tower" and those secular mortals of the Zhou family who have taken root in the Baisha River Oasis, will be taken back by the Chen family and driven out of the Baisha River Oasis, and the monks of the Zhou family will not want to trade in the Fang Market on the Baisha River Oasis in the future.
This is obviously unacceptable for the Zhou family.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the two sides have not completely torn their faces, and if the ancestor of the Chen family wants to attack their Zhou family, it can only be done within the rules.
For example, in the future, he will not sell the third-order elixir to the Zhou family, and cancel the Zhou family's qualification to participate in the next "Foundation Building Conference", or use the hand of the "Gold Devouring Beast" to borrow a knife to kill people like now.
But if the Zhou family first tore their faces and gave the Chen family an excuse, the ancestors of the Chen family would have more means to attack the Zhou family, and at that time, the Zhou family would continue to grow and develop under the blow of the Chen family, and it would be thankful that they could maintain the status quo.
Therefore, even if Zhou Minghan and Zhou Yang knew that the ancestor of the Chen family was playing the trick of killing people with a knife, they could only hold on hard, as long as they survived this time, if the ancestor of the Chen family wanted to play this trick of killing people with a knife in the future, they would not be fooled again.
Time passed slowly, and in Zhou Yang's tormented and anxious mood, the "Gold Devouring Beast" once again chased the ancestor of the Chen family and appeared in his sight.
This time, the "Gold Devouring Beast" chased it much fiercer than last time, and it should be that the ancestor of the Chen family left some injuries on it in order to lure it over, which made it so angry.
And when it caught up with the formation arranged by Zhou Yang and the others, it really stopped like the last time.
It was at this moment that Zhou Minghan suddenly shook his hands, revealing the "Taiyi Essence Gold" in his hand, and used his mana to stimulate the pure Gengjin Qi contained in this spiritual object.
Roar!
As a gold-based demon beast that feeds on all kinds of metals, the "Gold Devouring Beast" is naturally extremely sensitive to the qi of Gengjin, and the pure Gengjin qi emitted by the piece of "Taiyi Essence Gold" in Zhou Minghan's hand is no less attractive to the "Gold Devouring Beast" than Zhuji Dan is for Qi cultivation period cultivators.
After sensing this pure Gengjin qi that was enough to help it advance to a fourth-order high-grade demon beast, it no longer cared about any danger or not, when even a roar turned into a golden light and shot towards Zhou Minghan's place.
With a flash of golden light, the huge body of the "Gold Devouring Beast" quickly appeared in front of Zhou Minghan, and then its bloody mouth full of sharp fangs bit directly towards Zhou Minghan, actually wanting to devour Zhou Minghan even the "Taiyi Essence Gold" in his hand.
However, Zhou Minghan is also a ninth-layer cultivator, and he has been guarding against it for a long time, how can he let it get his wish at this time?
Seeing Zhou Minghan wave his hand, the fourth-order lower-grade defensive spirit rune that he had already held in his other hand turned into an earthy yellow spiritual light shield and blocked him in front of him.
After the blood basin of the "Gold Devouring Beast" bit on the earthy yellow aura shield, which was enough to defend against the fourth-order lower-grade defensive spell "Earth Shield" that the early stage monks of the Purple Mansion attacked with all their might, countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared in an instant, and finally "bang" scattered into countless fragmented spell aura.
Biting down the shield turned into a fourth-order low-grade defensive spirit rune sacrificed by Zhou Minghan, the "Gold Devouring Beast" saw that Zhou Minghan wanted to escape, and when he even raised his claw and waved it at Zhou Minghan, a golden beast paw print transformed by the qi of Gengjin rushed towards Zhou Minghan.
Although this golden beast claw print was just an ordinary attack of the "Gold Devouring Beast", it was no less powerful than the single strike of any Purple Mansion early monk Edgeworth.
Zhou Minghan saw that he couldn't dodge this attack, so he could only sacrifice the third-order high-grade defensive magic weapon shield he had refined himself to block behind him, and take this blow hard.
Naturally, there was no suspense.
Zhou Minghan was directly blown away by the blow of the golden beast paw print, and fell heavily to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, the "Gold Devouring Beast" was already moving, and once again pounced on Zhou Minghan, who fell to the ground, seemingly wanting to make up for the last knife.
But at this moment, a roar full of anger suddenly exploded in the ears of the "Gold Devouring Beast".
"Brute, get out of here!"
Zhou Yang looked at the "Gold Devouring Beast" with round eyes, and with a wave of the array flag in his hand, the "Gold Devouring Beast" that originally pounced on Zhou Minghan was instantly covered by a five-colored spiritual light and moved dozens of feet away.
Seeing this, Zhou Minghan on the ground immediately hurriedly put away the "Taiyi Essence Gold" in his hand, took out another array flag and punched in a mana, and helped move himself outside the formation through the array flag.
Knowing that at this time, the ancestor of the Chen family, who had flown through the formation before, seemed to have finally discovered that the "Gold Devouring Beast" had entered the formation, and rushed back belatedly.
As soon as he fell into the formation, he immediately sacrificed a red flag and released a raging flame to burn at the "Gold Devouring Beast", and at the same time did not forget to explain to Zhou Yang and the others who controlled the formation: "You wait to maintain the formation to trap this evil animal, and the rest will be handed over to the old man." ”
The ancestor of the Chen family himself is a cultivator of the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion, and it is not far from being promoted to the ninth layer of the Purple Mansion, and his strength is far beyond the "Gold Devouring Beast", at this time, there are Zhou Yang and others who control the fourth-order lower grade formation "Five Elements Upside Down Array" to assist, of course, they easily suppressed the arrogance of the "Gold Devouring Beast".
However, the defense of the "Gold Devouring Beast" is amazing, and all parts of its body are comparable to fourth-order mid-grade defensive magic weapons, and it also knows several gold defense spells, and it is difficult to damage it with idle attacks.
The ancestor of the Chen family could only use the help of the formation to release raging flames to slowly weaken its defenses, and at the same time, it was also to avoid its direct self-detonation demon pill from jumping over the wall in a hurry.
After trapping it for a long time, when the body of the "Gold Devouring Beast", which seemed to be made of pure gold, was burned by the flames, and looming cracks appeared, the ancestor of the Chen family finally launched a killer move.
This trick was the kind of blue-red flame that he spewed out when he and Zhang Yunpeng teamed up to fight against the Blood Moro who was holding a fifth-order magic weapon that day.
This blue-red flame is called "Qingyang Spiritual Fire", which is a kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire that the ancestor of the Chen family received by chance when he traveled to the immortal cultivation realm in his early years.
The ancestor of the Chen family was able to become a fourth-order high-grade alchemist, and this kind of heaven and earth spiritual fire was indispensable.
Now this blue-red flame was spat out by him, and when he condensed it into a cyan firebird with the method of controlling fire, he pounced towards the "Gold Devouring Beast".
