The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 15: A blessing in disguise (recommendation please)
  Let's talk about the two people who got down from the mine. They were carefully looking for traces of the monster according to what the surviving miners had just said.

There was only one road in this mine at the beginning, and the further it went down, the more forks there were. Fortunately, there was a clear goal. Otherwise, even if they were monks, it would have been extremely difficult to find the whereabouts of a monster in this maze-like mine. .

The two of them walked slowly, and it took them a quarter of an hour to arrive at the place where the miners said the remains of the body were first seen. This was not because they wanted to waste time, but they had to pay attention to safety. In addition, there were many people in the mine. It is not suitable for fast movement, so it is slower.

What caught their eyes were the four legs. It seemed that monsters were particular about eating people, and they didn't just eat them whole. In addition to the four feet, there were a lot of blood stains on the ground, but it was no longer bright red, it looked a bit black.

Xu Zhiyu's eyes were splitting when he saw this scene. He was filled with indignation when he heard the story just now, but when he witnessed the bloody reality, it made people even more angry.

"You are still young. Although the Nineteenth Brother has good aptitudes since he was a child and is a step ahead in practice, due to too little experience, his character is still too bad. I need to find an opportunity to teach him." Xu Zhi'an, who has been observing Xu Zhiyu, thought.

"Third brother, don't you feel sad at all when you see your clan members being devoured by monsters?" Xu Zhiyu said looking at the third brother who looked calm as if nothing had happened.

"If my grief could bring back the dead tribesmen, I would be willing to suffer them for three days and three nights, but can this be done? Now is not the time to be sad. Don't forget our situation. There is a monster around here. Are you watching us?" Xu Zhian still said calmly, while holding the magic weapon in his hand firmly while looking around.

Xu Zhiyu didn't say anything when he heard this, but he felt that the third brother seemed a little cold-blooded, but he was also cautious and took out the black iron shield given to him by his grandfather from the storage bag.

"laugh!"

A soft sound came from the ground, and a yellow light shot out from the ground and arrived in front of Xu Zhiyu in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!" The sound of impact came, and the yellow light that had just hit him was knocked back by the shock. It turned out that the monster hit the black iron shield and was knocked away.

The monster that was knocked away immediately rose up, but this time it did not pounce on any of them. Instead, it bared its teeth at the two of them, as if it chose to devour them.

"It is three feet long, with hair like thorns and golden light emanating from it. The two front teeth are shaped like boulders and are stained with poison. It likes to eat all kinds of ores and is proficient in the art of escaping from the earth. Yes, it is a 'gold-swallowing rat', and It's still a first-level mid-level 'gold-swallowing rat'." Xu Zhian first explained what kind of monster the two encountered, and then told Xu Zhiyu:
  "Nineteenth brother, please be careful. This beast is extremely difficult to deal with. Just use your shield and magic weapon to protect yourself, and I will fight it. If the situation seems wrong, nineteenth brother can leave first, and I will take the lead!"

"No, I came with Third Brother, so we have to go back together!" Xu Zhiyu refused. It was his business to protect the miners and the mine. Xu Zhian was just here to help. How could he abandon Third Brother in danger? Regardless, what about escaping for your life?
  Not only would it be difficult for his family to pass, but it would be even more difficult for him to pass it in his own heart!
  "Okay, you are talking a lot of nonsense. I really don't know how you are alive today? Be careful, he is about to attack again!" Xu Zhian was speechless. Why is this nineteenth brother so stupid?

If it was as Xu Zhian said, after hesitating for a while, the 'gold-swallowing rat' did not choose to leave immediately, but prepared to fight with the two human monks. Because among the two of them, the 'Gold Swallowing Rat' did not feel the threat of death.

However, it changed its target this time. Because it had just suffered a loss from Xu Zhiyu, it went straight to Xu Zhi'an, preparing to pick a weak persimmon.

"Well done!" Xu Zhian shouted, a stick-shaped magic weapon in his hand suddenly became larger, and he swung it in the direction of the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat'. However, when the two sides were about to come into contact, the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat' unexpectedly struck out with extreme force. He hid with strange movement skills.

"Third brother, be careful!" Xu Zhiyu knew that he was going to suffer when he saw that the third brother's magic weapon was swung forward but failed to hit the target. Sure enough, the 'gold-swallowing rat', which had avoided the stick-shaped magic weapon, used its strength to push hard on the cave wall and headed towards Xu Zhian at a faster speed, looking like it was going to bite his neck.

Xu Zhiyu reminded him while manipulating the 'Xuan Iron Shield' to quickly protect Xu Zhian's back. Fortunately, he was in time. If he had been slower, the third brother might have confessed.

Xu Zhian looked at the 'gold-swallowing rat' that was blocked by Xu Zhiyu's shield again, and touched the back of his neck. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he was glad that he came down with his 19th brother. If he faced the enemy alone, he would inevitably die. Daoxiao's fate, this 'gold-swallowing rat' deserves to be known as 'the most difficult first-order mid-level monster to deal with'! .

However, after Xu Zhiyu blocked him from a life-and-death blow just in time, his view of Xu Zhiyu had changed somewhat.

"Third brother, come here quickly. After my shield is enlarged, it has a radius of half a foot, which is enough to block the two of us. Let's protect our own safety first, and then make other considerations." Xu Zhiyu looked at the thrilling scene just now and couldn't help but look at the three of them. Brother said. Before I came down, I was very ambitious. After I came down, I realized how dangerous it was to get rid of the demon. It's not that he regrets it, but he feels like he's oversimplified it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi'an immediately approached Xu Zhiyu. After both of them were enveloped by the shadow of the 'Black Iron Shield', they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The 'gold-swallowing rat' would naturally not give up. He felt that if the shield hadn't been in the way, Xu Zhiyu and the two of them would have been its blood meal.

I saw it launching attacks from different directions again and again, only to be blocked again and again. He couldn't help but hate the two of them so deeply that even the hair on his body stood on end, and his originally brown eyes turned blood red.

Suddenly, the head of the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat' was plunged down, buried in the soil, and disappeared.

Xu Zhiyu was about to relax when he heard the third brother remind him:

"Be careful, this beast is proficient in escape techniques, and may attack us from underground. You can control the 'Black Iron Shield' to defend, and I will attack. Be careful, and don't let this beast find an opportunity to take advantage of you!" The 'Gold-Swallowing Rat' disappeared, and Xu Zhian warned his clan members with a solemn expression.

"Third brother, don't worry! I understand."

Xu Zhian was seen dancing the stick-shaped magic weapon tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the ground, so as to deal a fatal blow to the 'gold-swallowing rat' that might appear at any time.

However, what the two of them did not expect was that the 'Gold Swallowing Rat' did not come out from the ground. Instead, it walked along the ground, used the earth escape technique to pass through the ground, and climbed up the rock wall, preparing to give them a sudden attack from behind. attack.

At this time, the benefits of Xu Zhiyu's powerful spiritual consciousness were revealed. Through his powerful spiritual consciousness, he had mastered the movement and route of the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat', and immediately secretly sent a message to the third brother, asking him to prepare for this beast. A big one.

"laugh!"

"boom!"

"squeak!"

Three different sounds sounded, namely the sound of the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat' passing through the wall, the sound of the stick-shaped magic weapon hitting the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat', and the scream of the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat'.

The 'Gold-Swallowing Rat' was seriously injured and immediately wanted to repeat his old tricks and use Earth Escape to leave. Only Xu Zhian shouted:
  "Nineteenth Brother, quickly use the 'Black Iron Shield' to stop it."

Xu Zhiyu felt that the third brother wanted him to stop the 'gold-swallowing rat' so that he could take advantage of the victory and pursue the beast to death.

But then he couldn't understand. When the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat' was blocked by the shield, the third brother took out a magic talisman and threw it towards the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat'. The magic talisman was less than three feet away from the 'Gold-Swallowing Rat'. Then, with a "whoosh", it got into its body.

Then there was no extra movement and he watched the 'gold-swallowing rat' run away.

Xu Zhiyu was a little confused by this operation, and immediately looked at Xu Zhian, hoping that the third brother would have an explanation.
