Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yang has been in Haoyang Cave for three years.

In the past three years, he basically did not leave Haoyang Cave much, and in addition to his daily practice, he either studied the refining inheritance obtained from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, or accompanied his mother Lin Yuting to experience the life of ordinary people in a mortal city.

Lin Yuting is only a few years younger than Zhou Xuanhao, after Zhou Xuanhao built the foundation, it was impossible for the couple to grow old together, so in the last two decades of her life, she did not choose to stay with her husband on the Baisha River Oasis, but came to Haoyang Cave to accompany Zhou Yang, the only son.

Zhou Yang actually understands his mother Lin Yuting's thoughts very well, he knows that his mother Lin Yuting came to accompany him, in addition to wanting to make up for the separation of mother and son in the past twenty or thirty years, he also doesn't want her middle-aged husband to watch him grow old day by day.

It's not that he didn't fantasize about helping his mother Lin Yuting also step into the foundation building period, but it's a pity that every time he just had this fantasy, he was shattered by the bloody facts.

Not to mention that Lin Yuting is now nearly 100 years old before she has practiced the eighth-level cultivation of Qi, let's just say that her own soft and weak will may not be able to pass the "Divine Sense Pass".

If it were his stepmother Zhou Xuanyu, Zhou Yang would not worry about this at all.

If you want to change a person's will, it's not impossible, but Lin Yuting's current situation is obviously no time to do this kind of thing, not to mention that Zhou Yang can't get a second Tsukidan now.

So what he can do is to spend the next one or two decades with his mother and accompany her through the last days of her life, so that she will not leave any regrets.

On this day, Zhou Yang was accompanying his mother Lin Yuting to help the eighth aunt Zhou Xuanyan build an oasis at the oasis, and suddenly received a distress message from the Red Flame Iron Vein.

After reading the transmission note, his face sank at first, and then quickly returned to normal.

I saw a slight smile on his face, and nodded lightly to his mother Lin Yuting and Eighth Aunt Zhou Xuanyan, who were looking at him on the side, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a few more blind demon beasts have broken into the mine and hurt people, I'll deal with it and come back." ”

The truth is certainly not as simple as he says.

If it was really just an ordinary demon beast that broke into the mine and hurt people, it would have been destroyed by Zhou Xuanying, the thirteenth aunt who was sitting there.

You must know that with the Red Flame Iron Vein being mined, the net income generated by this vein to the Zhou family every year has reached seven hundred spirit stones, and this amount is still growing every year, and it is expected that the annual income of the final stable income of one thousand five hundred spirit stones will not be any problem.

It was precisely when he saw that the benefits of this vein were so obvious that Zhou Yang would send Zhou Xuanying, the thirteenth aunt who had cultivated the seventh layer of qi, to the nearby side of the mine to protect the miners when he had his own spiritual vein in Haoyang Cave.

Now even Zhou Xuanying, who is at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, needs to send a transmission note to ask him for help, which shows that the strength of the demon beasts that appeared in the mine cave must not be inferior to the second-order high-grade demon beast "Gold Eating Rat" that he encountered in the refined iron ore vein.

"It's a second-order high-grade demon beast [Flame Devouring Spider], and the number is at least five or more, those miners accidentally dug above the nest of these beasts when they were mining, and as a result, twenty or thirty miners were dragged away by them wrapped in spider silk, and now the mine has been temporarily closed, just wait for you to deal with it, patriarch." ”

Seeing Zhou Yang stepping on the flying sword and falling, Zhou Xuanying, who sent out a distress note from the side of the mine, hurriedly came over to report the situation to him.

When Zhou Yang's face heard the words "Flame Devouring Spider", his eyebrows furrowed, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Flame Devouring Spider" is just like its name, it likes to devour flames and fire-attribute heaven and earth spirits, so it often haunts volcanic hot places, and red flame iron is a fire-attribute spiritual object, and it is normal for this kind of demon beast to appear under its veins.

And spiders are the best at hiding themselves, the "Flame Devouring Spider" hides under the veins dozens of meters deep, even if a foundation building period monk like Zhou Yang scans the ground below with his divine sense, it is difficult to find them sleeping with a restrained breath.

He nodded with a clear face, and said with a serious face: "I have understood the situation, Thirteenth Aunt, you did the right thing, now you continue to be responsible for evacuating and comforting the frightened miners, I will personally go down to see the situation and then decide what to do." ”

After speaking, he released his flying sword to break through the entrance of the mine that was sealed by Zhou Xuanying with the Broken Dragon Stone, and his body moved, and he directly entered the mine.

Zhou Yang's divine sense is so powerful, the mine cave on this side of the Red Flame Iron Vein has only been newly excavated for a few years, and the mine road is still shallow, as soon as he enters the mine, his divine sense swept down and found the location where the "Flame Devouring Spider" hunted and killed the miners.

However, his unbridled divine consciousness fluctuations also alarmed the "Flame Devouring Spiders" group hiding underground, and after these underground killers sensed his powerful divine consciousness fluctuations, they immediately burst out with their whole body aura and issued a warning to him.

There were eight of these "Flame Devouring Spiders", each of them the size of a calf, with a bright red carapace, and the compound eyes of eight fists were full of ferocity and violence, even after sensing the breath of the monks of Zhou Yang's foundation building period, they did not have any fear, but released a strong hostility to warn him.

"Get out!"

Zhou Yang screamed in his mouth, and his divine sense suddenly pressed, instantly crushing all the ferocious and violent will emanating from the "Flame Devouring Spider" group into pieces.

Squeak Squeak –

A sharp hiss full of anger sounded from the depths of the mine, and the "Flame Devouring Spider" group had been enraged by Zhou Yang's attitude, and actually took the initiative to burrow out of the nest and appear in the mine.

"Hmph, it is said that insect demon beasts have the lowest spiritual intelligence among demon beasts, and it is true that when I saw it today, it is only a second-order high-grade demon beast that dares to take the initiative to attack the foundation building monk, I really don't know whether to live or die!"

Zhou Yang snorted coldly, and was very disdainful of the inconsiderate behavior of the "Flame Devouring Spider" group.

As soon as he pinched the sword trick in his hand, his divine sense was drawn, and the third-order lower-grade flying sword "Chixuan Golden Light Sword" slashed towards those emerging "Flame Devouring Spiders" with brilliant sword light.

When the sword light attacked, the "Flame Devouring Spider" group of course would not be ready to be killed, and they all opened their mouths and spit out spider silk and shot towards the sword light, in a vain attempt to stop the sword light.

The spider silk of the "Flame Devouring Spider" is red, harder than fine iron, and full of toughness, and the idle second-order flying sword is entangled in this spider silk, and it will soon be wrapped in a group and lose contact with the monk.

And because the "Flame Devouring Spider" likes to eat flames and fire-attribute spiritual objects, its spider silk is not as afraid of fire as other spider silk and silk, and can even weaken the power of spells when resisting fire spell attacks.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, a magic robe woven using the silk of the "Flame Devouring Spider" is more expensive than an ordinary second-order mid-grade magic weapon, and it is extremely sought-after.

However, these "Flame Eaters" have obviously miscalculated today.

Under Zhou Yang's brilliant red-golden sword light like a golden scorching sun, the spider silk they shot out was like white snow in the mountains, and it was crushed into powder by that brilliant sword light on the spot.

The sword light bypassed several "Flame Devouring Spiders", but it did not kill any of the demon beasts, but only cut off half of their spider legs, making them temporarily incapacitated.

When the remaining "Flame Devouring Spiders" saw this scene, they were immediately shocked and angry, and the eight fist-sized eyes under their abdomen were full of fear and anger as they looked at Zhou Yang and screamed, and their bodies involuntarily retreated in the direction they came.

No matter how low their intelligence is, they already know after seeing this scene that the creature that walks upright on two legs is an existence they can't provoke.

And the instinct of the animals tells them that they can only save their lives if they stay away from the creature that walks upright.

"Don't you think it's too late?"

Zhou Yang smiled coldly on his face, and he was not ready to let go of the remaining "Flame Devouring Spiders".

With a sword trick in his hand, the "Red Xuanjin Light Sword" once again turned into a red golden sword light and chased after the remaining "Flame Devouring Spiders".

These "Flame Eaters" are very agile in the mines, and their eight legs can move several feet horizontally with a single stroke, which is not at all something that humans can catch up with.

It's a pity that no matter how fast they run, they can't be faster than Zhou Yang's flying sword.

Zhou Yang's Divine Sense Imperial Sword, and in the flash of the sword light, all the fleeing "Flame Devouring Spiders" followed in the footsteps of their companions, and he cut off half of the spider's legs and collapsed in the mine.

"If you dare to eat my Zhou family's clansmen, you should have killed them all, but if you kill you like this, it will be too cheap for you, so let's spare your life and let you spend your life as a coup for my Zhou family!"

In the mine, Zhou Yang withdrew his flying sword and looked at the "Flame Devouring Spider" struggling and hissing all over the ground, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.

As he said, if it weren't for the effect of the spider silk spit out by the "Flame Devouring Spider", he would definitely not show mercy to these beasts eating people.

These "Flame Devouring Spiders" are all adult demon beasts, which can no longer be domesticated and captive, and he is now leaving these beasts alive, just to squeeze their surplus value, and when these beasts can no longer spit silk, it is the day they die.

It just so happens that there are still two spirit beast rooms in his Haoyang Cave that have not been put into use, and the eight "Flame Devouring Spiders" here can just be divided into two batches and imprisoned in captivity, where there is the suppression of the third-order low-grade formation "Shutu Jinge Array", even if he has something to leave the Haoyang Cave in the future, he is not afraid that these beasts will be able to turn against the sky.

The vitality of spider-like demon beasts is extremely strong, almost all of them have the ability to regenerate broken limbs, Zhou Yang is not worried about a few "Flame Devouring Spiders" dying because of the injuries of broken legs, he also has the heart to punish these man-eating beasts, and did not immediately knock them out to heal their injuries, but used the "Earth Escape Technique" to bypass these beasts and escape into their lair.

As Zhou Yang expected, in addition to the bones of the demon beasts that were eaten before, there were also the corpses of the Zhou family miners who were swept away by them before, most of the corpses of these miners were wrapped in spider silk and hung on the cave wall, and only four or five corpses were eaten so that only bones and clothes fell to the ground.

He looked at the hanging corpses and was silent for a while, then with a wave of his big sleeves, he released a flying sword to cut through the silk sac and released all the shriveled corpses inside and fell to the ground, and then packed all the "Flame Devouring Spider" spider silk in the nest into the storage bag, which are all good materials for refining weapons.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang's face was overjoyed, as if he had found something good, and he hurriedly strode to a corner of the nest.

I saw that on top of a ball of crimson spider silk in the corner, there were more than a dozen fist-sized spider silk egg bags, each containing a white spider egg the size of an egg.
