[Gold Eater] thought that after escaping back to the lair on the side of the Red Flame Iron Vein, he would be able to rely on the protection of the poisonous fire scorpion group outside to recuperate and escape with peace of mind.

It's a pity that it underestimated the methods of human immortal cultivators, and even underestimated Zhou Yang's determination to kill it.

Relying on the precise positioning of the "Blood Spirit Imprint", Zhou Yang and the old man Zhou Quan relied on the help of the "Earth Escape Technique" and magic weapons, and finally opened a passage and killed into the rat hole located fifty or sixty meters deep underground.

Then before the big rat woke up from this shocking change and fled, the old man Zhou Quan had already taken the first step to block the surrounding earth and rocks with the spell of "Pointing to the Earth into Steel".

The most powerful means of escape was sealed, and in a small space like a rat hole, how could the [Gold Eating Rat], which was already seriously injured, still survive?

After a desperate struggle, this big rat, which was stained with dozens of human lives, was finally smashed in the head by the old man Zhou Quan's golden melon sledgehammer, and died so much that he couldn't die anymore.

"Brute, this is your retribution for cannibalism!"

The old man raised his hand slightly, took back the gourd sledgehammer that was splashed with blood, and with a gloomy face, he made up another hammer on the head of the [Gold Eating Rat], until the rat's head was smashed into several petals.

It was also at this time that Zhou Yang realized that the old man was not really completely ruthless, and he didn't take the lives of ordinary people seriously at all.

It's just that the old man has lived for hundreds of years, and he is used to seeing life and death, so he can hide his emotions very well, and he will not show them easily.

"It's just a bit hypocritical, isn't it a bit of a mounting, and you want to set up a memorial arch for yourself?"

Zhou Yang thought of the old man's harsh words at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel a little complained about the old man's approach.

Of course, as a junior, if he has any opinions in his heart, he will definitely not dare to say this.

The respect and inferiority of the elder and the young is the basis for the existence of the family power, even if the immortal cultivator pursues freedom and immortality, as long as he does not really get free for a day, and does not reach the realm of immortality for a day, he cannot completely ignore these four words.

What's more, the current Zhou Yang is not as strong as the old man Zhou Quan.

And just when Zhou Yang was muttering in his heart, the old man Zhou Quan had already withdrawn the magic weapon, and said softly at him: "Xiao Jiu, you will keep this beast corpse, and you can add some materials and ask the old patriarch to refine it, and you will definitely be able to get a few good magic weapons." ”

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the old man to say this, and then recalled the words he had just said to slander the old man in his heart, he was immediately ashamed, and shook his head again and again with a red face: "It can't be so, this fang was killed by the third grandfather, how can your nephew He De dare to accept this thing." ”

"If you let you take it, you will take it, the third grandfather, I am this age, just give me a third-order magic weapon, a fourth-order magic weapon, and how many more years can I use it? Besides, you are about to be promoted to the late stage of qi training, once you reach the late stage of qi training, you don't have a few magic weapons in your hand, how can you win in the future?"

The old man Zhou Quan's face glared unhappily, and he glared at Zhou Yang unhappily, as if Zhou Yang didn't accept this gift, he just looked down on him.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt even more ashamed in his heart, and still excused himself: "The third grandfather is very loving, and the nephew understands it, but this thing is really valuable, and the nephew is ashamed, and he is ashamed!"

His expression didn't seem to be fake, and when the old man Zhou Quan saw it, he couldn't help but be confused.

What's going on?

The current juniors are really incomprehensible!

The old man stared at Zhou Yang with a puzzled expression, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What are you ashamed of?" This beast was originally found and hunted together by you and the old man, and it was those scattered cultivators who formed a team to hunt demons, and they also had a share in seeing it, not to mention you and me?"

What he is most puzzled about is here, although the Zhou family's family education is very good, and the clansmen are very united and friendly, but there is no rule that only the elders eat meat and the younger generations are not allowed to drink soup.

The old man has lived for hundreds of years, and he is well-informed and doesn't know how many immortal cultivators he has dealt with, and he can still see whether a person's face is sincere or false.

He could see that the shame on Zhou Yang's face was definitely from his heart, and he couldn't fake it.

It's just that of course Zhou Yang won't say what he just said about the old man in his heart, in the face of the old man's questions and forced eyes, he can only lower his head and say nothing, just want to let this matter be revealed as soon as possible.

Seeing this, the old man was not good at persecution, and finally could only say helplessly: "If you really feel that you don't want to go, just think that this is the favor left by the third grandfather for you to take care of your second brother in advance!"

After saying that, the old man was afraid that Zhou Yang would not agree, so he directly left the rat cave with a "soil escape technique", and if he was in a hurry, if he let people who didn't know see it, he was afraid that the old man would mistakenly think that the old man himself was ashamed and didn't dare to face Zhou Yang!

This result was completely unexpected, so that he was stunned.

After a while, he came back to his senses from his daze, and then couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile: "That's it, there is a way: the elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign, so as the third grandfather said, he accepted his favor today, and then find a chance to return it to the second brother in the future!"

Putting away the corpse of the [Gold-eating Rat], Zhou Yang rummaged through the rat** for a while and found some feces left by the [Gold-Eating Rat].

The feces of the [Gold-eating Rat] are also treasures, because they naturally like to devour metals, and the feces of the [Gold-eating Rats] sometimes contain some special spiritual gold that they cannot absorb and digest themselves.

Previously, in the [Gold-eating Rat] nest in the refined iron ore vein, Zhou Yang had collected a lot of feces pulled out by the [Gold-eating Rats] after devouring the refined iron ore, and now he had collected some feces pulled out by the [Gold-eating Rats] devouring the Red Flame Iron here.

When he goes back and uses the alchemy technique to extract the special spiritual gold from these dung, it will definitely be of great use when refining second-order or even third-order magic weapons in the future.

Scraping the ground and scraping the rat hole clean, Zhou Yang quickly used the "Earth Escape Technique" to escape back to the ground, and joined the old man Zhou Quan who was waiting on it.

"Xiao Jiu, you said earlier that you were going to kill the [Gold Eating Rat], and now that this demon is dead, what are you going to do next?"

When the old man saw Zhou Yang coming up, his eyes glanced at the bulging storage bag around his waist, but he talked about the previous test again.

"What should I do next, didn't the third grandfather have already made a decision in his heart?"

Zhou Yang looked at the old man with a surprised look on his face, smiled confidently, and confidently said the plan in the old man's heart.

"Regardless of whether there is a third-order [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King] here, hundreds of poisonous fire scorpions are not something that the two of us can deal with, in that case, why should we take the risk to find out if there is any [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King]? Of course, we should return to Qingping Mountain first, and let the third grandfather inform the old patriarch of this incident, and let the old patriarch decide this matter. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

The applause sounded, the old man Zhou Quan looked at Zhou Yang with a look of relief, and while applauding, he praised sincerely: "Well said! It is worthy of the Zhou family's Qilin'er who was asserted by the old patriarch himself, Xiao Jiu, the famous old man of your early wisdom has already heard of it, and today I only know that you are not only precocious, but also have a strategic mind, know how to advance and retreat, and know the importance of the situation, this ability to judge the situation and measure up the situation, looking at the monks of the two generations of my Zhou family Xuanyuan, there are no more than three people who can be comparable to you!"

After speaking, the old man's face was straight, and he looked at Zhou Yang with a solemn expression and said: "That's right, the old man really thinks like Xiao Jiu in his heart, today the old man will give you a piece of advice, in the future, whenever you encounter such opportunities and risks, unless there is a reason to have to fight, you must restrain all greed and curiosity, everything is to save your own life, you have to remember, only people live, chance is chance, otherwise people die, no matter how good the fate is, it has nothing to do with you!"

"The advice of the third grandfather, the nephew and grandson took it to heart, and the third grandfather Xie taught. ”

Zhou Yang respectfully bowed to the old man and thanked the old man for his advice.

Although he has known this truth for a long time, the old man's advice is not only the golden and jade words that he has summarized with his life's experience, but also contains the love of the elders for the younger generations.

Old Man Zhou Quan accepted his salute calmly, and then he didn't know what he thought, and sighed with a complicated face:

"It's good for you to remember, our Zhou family will rely on you juniors in the future, we old people are old, and now we can only pass on these insights and experiences that we have summed up with our lives, and I hope that on your future cultivation road, you can take less detours we have taken, and don't lose your lives early on these detours like your uncles and uncles who died young!"

When Zhou Yang heard the old man's words, he knew that the old man was moved by feelings, and remembered the clansmen who had died in the Zhou family over the years.

There are many dangers in the boundless sea of sand, not only natural disasters and monsters, but also man-made disasters.

The sand sea is vast, among which there are countless oases, and in addition to the immortal cultivation families who occupy an oasis like the Zhou family, there are also many small oases that are not suitable for a large number of people to live in are occupied by those who practice alone.

These casual cultivators do not have a systematic inheritance of exercises and alchemy of refining weapons like family monks and sect monks, nor do they have sect benefits and family benefits to receive, if they want to obtain talisman pills and obtain spirit stone magic weapons, they can only hunt demon beasts or collect elixirs and bring them to the immortal cultivators' market, and sell them to the shops opened by the immortal cultivators and sects in exchange.

Where there is buying and selling, there is naturally killing.

Hunting demon beasts and collecting elixirs can be exchanged for elixirs, and hunting monks can also get these.

Therefore, many casual cultivators simply formed gangs and became sand bandits in the sea of sand, engaging in unfounded business, specializing in killing and plundering the property of other monks to help them practice.

Even some powerful casual cultivators will deliberately leave spiritual objects in the desert to set traps, and then release the news of treasures everywhere, waiting for those monks who think they have bumped into the opportunity to take the initiative to send them to the door

And the sea of sand is vast, as long as the hands and feet are clean, or after success, find a small oasis that no one knows about it, no one knows who the murderer is, and it is difficult to find it if they do.

There are a total of 13 monks of the "light" character and 18 monks of the "Xuan" character on the Zhou family tree, but there are only 18 people who are still alive now!

Of the 13 people who disappeared, except for 3 who accidentally died in the mouth of the demon beast, the remaining 10 people all lost the news when they left the family to perform a family mission or went out on an adventure, and they couldn't even find their bones.

Compared with the poor casual cultivators, the wealthy family monks and sect monks are sometimes more likely to become the targets of those bad people.

For this reason, the Zhou family and many immortal cultivation families have specially set up family rules, all family cultivators, who do not reach the late stage of Qi cultivation, are absolutely not allowed to leave the family alone to travel and explore adventures.

Old man Zhou Quan has lived for hundreds of years, of course, he has encountered many attacks and killings of scattered cultivators, and has experienced many traps and temptations, and he has been able to live until now, and his hands have been stained with many lives.

Therefore, he said that he summed up the experience and perception with his life, and there was absolutely no exaggeration.
