In the valley where the "Thunder Rhinoceros" inhabited, the most valuable thing was naturally the two third-order "Quercus Thunder Trees", which combined with the "Thunder Rhinoceros" skull and rhinoceros skin that Zhou Yang had obtained before, had already gathered a complete set of materials for refining the third-order thunder attribute formation.

In addition to the two "Quercus Thunder Trees", Zhou Yang also found a second-order spirit fruit tree in the valley that also had a thunder attribute aura, and collected dozens of mature spirit fruits.

Generally, this kind of spiritual fruit with thunder attribute aura has the effect of refining the mana of the immortal cultivator's physical body, and it is also a very useful spiritual object.

In addition, after Zhou Yang searched the entire valley, he also found more than 20 elixirs, including two third-order elixirs, and the harvest was not unrich.

After searching the valley, he didn't linger long, and immediately released his flying sword and flew to the next place.

This Rhino Horn Continent was a super-large oasis, and there must be more than one third-order spiritual vein on it, so of course he had to take this opportunity to scavenge it carefully.

It's just that he had just flown out not long ago, and an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from the direction of the "Holy Mountain", and at the same time, there was a devastating aura fluctuation.

"That's ...... It shouldn't be Jin Dan blowing himself up!"

Zhou Yang's face changed, and he seemed to be a little familiar with this scene.

When he was outside the oasis where the ruins of the Yin Puppet Sect were located, when the Blood Netherworld blew up the Golden Pill, he also felt such a devastating aura fluctuation.

"The one who blew up the golden pill will definitely not be Cao Laozu, then it can only be the remaining [Golden Horned Rhino], I didn't expect this demon beast to be so strong, willing to blow up the demon pill that it took thousands of years of hard work to condense!"

Demon beasts can condense demon pills from the fourth order, so most of the demon pills of fifth-order demon beasts are actually things that they have condensed after thousands of years of hard cultivation.

It is not easy to make up your mind to give up this kind of thing that is vital to your life and has been with you for thousands of years, and it can even be said that it is even more difficult to accept than death.

If a Jindan monk chooses to cultivate to total loss and death, he would definitely rather choose death!

The mortal high-ranking officials in the world felt more uncomfortable than death after tasting the taste of power and losing it, let alone immortal cultivators with great power.

The wisdom of fifth-order demon beasts is close to that of normal adults, they know how to think and learn, and although the beastly instinct in their bodies is still there, they are suppressed by wisdom like humans.

Therefore, they also care very much about their own strength, about the power to gain wisdom for themselves, and many times they would rather die than lose this power.

Zhou Yang didn't know what made the "Golden Horned Rhino" make the decision to self-detonate the Demon Pill, he only knew that with the "Golden Horned Rhino" self-detonating Demon Pill, this war should soon come to an end.

As long as Cao Wenjin was not so severely injured by the demon pill's self-explosion that he couldn't make a move, otherwise, with his strength in the late stage of the Jindan, it would be no more difficult to free up his hands to deal with those fourth-order demon beasts than to chop melons and vegetables.

"It looks like we can only go back first!"

With a long sigh, he decisively dismissed the idea of continuing the treasure hunt, and decided to go back to "report" first.

Compared to the little gains that may be obtained on the Rhino Horn Continent, it is obviously more important to leave a good impression on Cao Wenjin.

He went back now, and even if he was found out that he was temporarily out of the battlefield, he could still find several reasons to explain it perfectly.

But if he waited until the war over there was completely over and then went back, unless he stabbed himself and said that he was seriously injured and escaped to recuperate, it would not make sense.

However, as soon as he was halfway back, he suddenly stopped his sword light and looked at the northwest sky with a shocked face.

I saw that above the sky in the northwest, there was suddenly an additional pillar of colorful spiritual energy, and the pillar of light rushed into the sky, exuding extremely strong aura fluctuations.

He looked at the seven-colored aura pillar with a shocked expression, and couldn't help muttering: "The aura is soaring into the sky, the color is colorful, this is either a strange treasure was born, or someone has discovered the spirit stone mine!"

Before the words fell, his eyes flashed, and without saying a word, he directly slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and released the Gripon Beast, and then stepped on the back of the Gripon Beast, and ordered the Gripon Beast to rush towards that place with all its might.

Originally, Zhou Yang was only hundreds of miles away from the location of the seven-colored pillar of light, and under the full flight of the Hippriff Beast, it only took two quarters of an hour to carry Zhou Yang to the scene.

At this time, after the release of the seven-colored pillar of light for two quarters of an hour, the aura in it had been dissipated, and the sky was back to normal.

After Zhou Yang arrived at the scene, he saw an empty barren grassland, with a hole several zhang wide leading to the ground, and the pure aura that overflowed from the cave proved that the pillar of colorful aura light just now emanated from this place.

He looked at the entrance of the cave that was constantly exuding a rich aura, resisted the idea of diving headlong into it, and said loudly in a high voice: "In Zhou Yang, the patriarch of the Zhou clan in Xiayuquan, I don't know which Taoist friend is among them?"

It's a pity that after his words fell for a while, no response came from inside, and the other party didn't seem to pay attention to his meaning at all.

This made Zhou Yang's face sink, and he couldn't help but shout coldly: "Since Daoyou refuses to say it, then don't blame Zhou for being rude." ”

Before the shouts fell, he collected the Gripen beast and plunged directly into the cave.

It is worth mentioning that wherever there is a spirit stone mine, there will be a special force field that suppresses the divine consciousness of the immortal cultivator.

The strength of this special force field is closely related to the reserves of spirit stone mines, and the more spirit stone mines with large spirit stone reserves, the greater the suppression of the immortal cultivator's divine consciousness in it.

It is said that in the super-large spirit stone mine with reserves of hundreds of millions, even the Yuan Infant Stage Monk is in it, and his divine consciousness cannot be placed outside the body.

Therefore, generally speaking, after an immortal cultivator discovers a spirit stone mine, he will summon a large number of low-level Qi cultivation stage cultivators to work as miners to mine.

As for why a Qi cultivation period monk is a miner, it is because the rock and sand in the spirit stone mine have been nourished by the rich spiritual energy for a long time, and the hardness is comparable to that of steel, and it is difficult for mortal miners to mine in it.

The second is that even if the spiritual consciousness of a monk in the Qi cultivation period cannot be separated from his body in the spirit stone mine, he can still use the "Heavenly Eye Technique" to observe the strength of the spiritual energy, and it is easier to dig up the spirit stone in the mine.

But don't think that being a miner is a hard job to humiliate.

In fact, it is hard to be a miner in the spirit stone mine, but the abundant spiritual energy in the spirit stone mine is also incomparably attractive to many low-level casual cultivators who do not have a fixed place to practice.

Therefore, whenever the few spirit stone mines controlled by Huangshamen want to recruit miners, the registered casual cultivators can break their heads in order to compete for a place, and even many casual cultivators will pay bribes to recruit managers for a quota.

Zhou Yang had never been to the Spirit Stone Mine, but he was very clear about the existence of a special force field in the Spirit Stone Mine.

Therefore, after entering the cave, he found that his divine consciousness had been suppressed, and his face was not surprised but happy.

After he released his divine sense with all his might, he couldn't help but whisper to himself: "The strength of my divine consciousness is already comparable to that of a Purple Mansion Stage monk, but now it has only been suppressed to the extent that it is less than three hundred zhang away from the body not long after entering the cave, it can be seen that this spirit stone mine is definitely not that kind of miniature spirit stone mine, at least it is also a small spirit stone mine with reserves of millions!"

A small spirit stone mine not only represents millions of spirit stone reserves, but also shows that there must be high-grade spirit stones in it.

If he can dig up the top-grade spirit stone, even if there is only one piece, Zhou Yang's trip to the Rhino Horn Continent will be profitable even if there is no other gain.

Even if you can't dig up high-grade spirit stones, digging up more medium-grade spirit stones will be earned in vain.

As for whether to hand it over after digging up the spirit stone now, whether Cao Wenjin came over later, Zhou Yang didn't think about this problem at all.

As long as Cao Wenjin is not really crazy, it is impossible to do such a thing.

After all, how can you tell if the spirit stones in someone's storage bag are freshly dug or someone else already has them?

And if nothing else, this spirit stone mine will definitely be occupied by Huangshamen in the end.

In the case of eating meat by himself, if he refuses to even give a mouthful of soup to the person who discovered the spirit stone mine in front of him, then the appearance of eating is not just ugly.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Zhou Yang would rush here without hesitation after discovering the aura of the sky.

The immortal cultivators rushed over to check the situation because of the "birth of a strange treasure", which is a reason that no one can blame.

Of course, Zhou Yang did not forget the existence of the person who really discovered the spirit stone mine.

Therefore, after he entered the underground mine not much deeper, his eyes flashed, and he did not continue to go deeper with the mine, but opened another mine on the wall of the cave with his flying sword.

This is done because he has no intention of making enemies with others, and secondly, time is precious, rather than wasting time on fighting with others, it is better to dig up a few more spirit stones before Cao Wenjin arrives.

Presumably, the man inside thought the same way, so he didn't even bother to respond to his previous words.

The sword light danced, and the hard soil and rocks in the spirit stone mine were easily cut through like tofu under the edge of the third-order flying sword.

Although Zhou Yang's divine consciousness was suppressed so badly, it was not completely impossible to release from his body, so he didn't have to worry about the spirit stones buried in the dirt and sand in front of him being damaged by himself.

While he was digging through the Divine Sense Edgeworth, he continued to use the "Object Technique" to collect the excavated spirit stones into the storage bag.

These excavated spirit stones are of different sizes, and they need to be cut before they can be turned into pieces of general standard spirit stones.

However, of course, Zhou Yang would not waste time doing this now, or rather, if it was just a low-grade spirit stone, it was not worth it for him to do this.

Even if the lower grade spirit stone is handed in, it will not lose much, so he will not waste time doing this kind of thing at such a time.

And just when Zhou Yang was making a cameo appearance as a miner mining in the spirit stone mine, Cao Wenjin also took a precious fourth-order high-grade healing elixir, and after suppressing the injuries caused by the self-detonation demon pill of the "Golden Horned Rhino", he began to clean up the remaining fourth-order demon beasts.

By the time he had cleared out all the fourth-order demon beasts, it had been nearly an hour since that aura pillar of light appeared.

"Zhengnan, you are responsible for leading people to clean up the remaining demon beasts and collect the loot, the old man will go over there first to check the reason for the aura!"

With a tired face, he glanced at the direction where the aura pillar appeared, Cao Wenjin took a deep breath and lifted his spirits, and directly handed over the finishing work to Li Zhengnan to preside, and then with a movement of his body, he flew to the location of the spirit stone mine in the clouds.
