Chapter 4: The Water Demon Spider
Zhu Youdao hid in the magic circle and looked into the distance with his blue eyes.
I saw that out of the sight of ordinary people, there were more than ten monks on an island, using a magic circle to trap a demon beast shaped like an otter.
Seeing that they were just surrounding but not killing, they knew that they were fighting the attention of capturing this demon beast alive.
The only value of this otter monster beast captured alive is taming.
In a special environment such as an underground lake, it is extremely convenient to have an otter of this kind to collect the resources at the bottom of the lake.
But otters, a wild monster beast, must understand the secret method of taming beasts, otherwise it is impossible to tame them.
What made Zhu Youdao pay special attention was that the costumes of this group of people were very uniform, and they turned out to be the people of the Zhao family, the landlord of Hanyue Lake, here!
The Zhao family actually has a secret method of taming beasts!
Zhu Youdao instantly had a thought in his heart, thinking about whether it was possible to get this method from the Zhao family.
The role of the secret method of taming beasts is very large, there are countless demon beast resources in the Demon Mist Canyon, if there is a secret method of taming beasts, it is very important for the future development of the Zhu family.
It's just that this secret method is the core secret of every force, and it will obviously not be easy to get this secret method from the Zhao family.
Zhu Youdao could only temporarily suppress this idea in his heart.
The Zhao family's capture of domesticated demon beasts should not be satisfied with the existing interests.
It's no wonder that Zhu Youdao only came in for a few days, and he found a rare demon beast like Jing Cang, the Zhao family has been entrenched in Hanyue Lake for thousands of years, how can he not find it?
It's just that the depth of the lake is unfathomable, and there are many powerful demon beasts under the lake, even the monks in the foundation building period can't go deep, and it is not easy to develop, so they came up with the idea of capturing domesticated demon beasts and driving them into the lake to collect resources.
Zhu Youdao watched quietly, the team sent by the Zhao family was a strong lineup, with two foundation building monks and ten late-stage Qi cultivation monks.
The ten Qi cultivators were divided into two groups and formed two sets of magic circles, taking turns to trap the demon beasts.
Once the otter monster breaks through the circle, it is up to the Tsukiji Monk to strike and force it back.
Zhu Youdao nodded secretly, the Zhao family's disciples' magic array changed smoothly, obviously the result of long-term training, it seems that the Zhao family also has a clever array mage.
Two hours later, the otter monster was finally exhausted.
The foundation building monk of the Zhao family entered the battle and locked it with a special magic weapon, and the otter no longer had the strength to struggle.
Several Qi cultivators of the Zhao family stepped forward and carried the demon beast, intending to leave, disappointing Zhu Youdao, and he also wanted to see how the Zhao family tamed the demon beast.
At this moment, there was a sudden shock!
I saw a black light erupt from the water, heading straight for the monks of the Zhao family.
Ten Qi cultivators were killed in an instant, and one foundation building monk was swept away by the black light, and was knocked out more than ten zhang away, falling to the ground, obviously not lightly injured.
The other Tsukiji monk blocked the attack with a magic weapon, turned and fled. He had just flown out a short distance when a monster beast rushed out of the lake below and threw him into the water.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the first injured monk struggled to his feet and fled into the distance.
But the demon beast in the water was obviously unwilling to let him go, and another black light erupted from the water, chasing after him.
The man's body was in mid-air, as if he had used a spirit rune, and a golden light flashed on his body, blocking the black light, and the golden light was instantly broken and hit the person again.
I saw that the figure was crumbling, and he almost fell into the lake, but he barely stabilized his body and fled into the distance.
The monster beast did not continue to pursue, but chewed on the corpse of another foundation building monk, slowly went ashore, and crawled towards the locked otter monster, which not only ate people, but even this monster beast did not let go.
More than ten miles away, Zhu Youdao was dumbfounded.
The accident happened too quickly, but in an instant, two of the Zhao family built a foundation, ten practiced qi, and only one of them was seriously injured and fled, and he didn't know if he could survive.
Zhu Youdao could see clearly from a distance that the demon beast that attacked the Zhao family was a water demon spider.
This kind of monster beast is amphibious, hunting all flesh and blood creatures, even if it is encountered by the same kind, it will also have a bloody battle, which is the most ferocious and cunning.
And being able to solve the two foundation-building monks of the Zhao family in an instant, it is obvious that this demon beast has crushing power, indicating that it is a third-order demon beast.
The third-order demon beast is already comparable to the Jindan monk of the human race in terms of rank!
Zhu Youdao was secretly glad, fortunately, the spirit beast he encountered before was only a second-order demon beast, if it was this water demon spider, I was afraid that his fate would not be too good!
Seeing that the water demon spider was munching on the otter demon beast, although Zhu Youdao was separated by more than ten miles, he didn't dare to be careless, quietly withdrew the magic circle, and flew into the distance.
He flew for a moment, then turned his direction towards the entrance and exit of the underground lake.
Half a day later, Zhu Youdao returned to the island below the spring channel.
He took a pole formation flag from his storage bag and began to set up a circle around the passage.
The underground lake is opened every sixty years for ten days at a time, and now it is three or four days before the passage is closed.
However, some monks who lacked the ability to keep out the cold had already begun to return, and when they saw Zhu Youdao using a magic circle to surround the passage, these monks were shocked and stepped forward to stop them.
But these scattered cultivators were Zhu Youdao's opponents, and they were knocked out by him one by one and thrown aside.
After a busy period of work, a large array was formed.
Zhu Youdao threw the monk who had been stunned before into the magic circle, and he himself was hidden in the array, and began to wait patiently.
After another two hours, I saw a figure on the surface of the lake, flying crookedly from a distance, it was the Zhao family foundation monk who had escaped from the mouth of the water demon spider before.
This person was obviously seriously injured, and he was very reluctant to control the flying magic weapon, and his consciousness seemed to be a little blurred, and even his basic vigilance had been lost, and he rushed into the magic circle arranged by Zhu Youdao in a daze.
Only then did he realize that the situation was wrong, looked at the magic circles around him, and said in horror: "You...... You are...... Who and why do you use the circle...... I'm Zhao ...... Zhao ......"
The voice behind him was too weak, and Zhu Youdao didn't hear it clearly.
Zhu Youdao used the Xuanxing Shield to protect his body, and at the same time hid the flying knife at his feet, planning to give him a knife if the other party dared to resist!
He coughed and said, "This fellow Daoist, seeing that your injuries are not light, I have a healing pill here, do you need one? But my pill is not cheap......
As he spoke, he saw the man pounce and fall to the ground.
Zhu Youdao was stunned for a moment, and probed with his divine sense, but saw that this person had no signs of life.
The black light spewed out by the water demon spider was highly poisonous, and this person's face was pitch black, obviously extremely poisoned, and he barely escaped here, and he died of anger.
Zhu Youdao shook his head, unless it was involving the Dao, he didn't want to kill people and take treasures easily.
Originally, he just wanted to stop this person and forcibly trade the Zhao family's secret method of taming beasts, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, this person would die first.
Even so, Zhu Youdao didn't dare to be careless, all kinds of secret techniques in the cultivation realm emerged in endlessly, maybe there were secret methods for pretending to be dead!
He used his mana to condense into a large hand and took the storage bag of the person in front of him.
He said again: "Fellow Daoist, since I have taken your relics, I will send you to the earth for peace!"
Then a fire was set on fire, the body was burned, and a pit was dug on the spot and the ashes were buried.
After doing all this, Zhu Youdao opened the storage bag he had just obtained and checked it.
After a while, Zhu Youdao took out a piece of green jade slip and put it into his storage bag with a happy face.
