Immortal cultivation begins in the desert

"Xiao Jiu's plan initially seems to have been successful. After I burned all the desert plants, there was a problem in the food supply of the poisonous fire scorpions. In less than half a month, the scorpions killed each other. In addition, I took the opportunity to attack and kill. Now the number of scorpions has been reduced by nearly 50% compared with when they were in their heyday."

"But now the third level [poisonous fire Scorpion King] has realized the seriousness of the problem, forcibly stopped the killing of ordinary poisonous fire scorpions, and sent the scorpions to hunt in the depths of the desert. For the time being, it seems to have passed the food crisis."

On Qingping mountain, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan called all the friars of the Zhou family here and explained his achievements of this month and front-line intelligence.

It can be seen that when hearing that 50% of the poisonous fire scorpions died because of Zhou Yang's plan, all the friars of the Zhou family showed joy on their faces.

However, when they heard the words behind the old patriarch, the joy on their faces was a little restrained, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and meditate.

After all, poisonous fire scorpion is a monster. Its combat ability and desert survival ability are many times stronger than ordinary desert animals. Once it leaves its nest and goes deep into the desert to hunt, it is really difficult to starve to death.

In this way, Zhou Yang's "ecological chain destruction" strategy does not seem to be as perfect as everyone imagined.

"Hey, what are you thinking? Now we have reduced the scorpion group by 50% without hurting one person. It's a big victory. It's so difficult that you really want to destroy the whole scorpion group by holding on to a spell? Don't dream. It's a monster. It's not a bug that ordinary people can trample to death. Over the years, have you heard of anyone who kills a monster without fighting the demon directly? "

While everyone was thinking about the defects of Zhou Yang's "ecological chain destruction" tactics, Zhou Xuanyu suddenly sneered and broke the silence in an impolite tone.

Although her words were not pleasant to hear, they also woke up the people and made them realize that they had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking.

There has never been any perfect plan in the world, but they want to rely on a small plan to destroy a group of monsters. How ridiculous!

And who are they? They are immortals. If even ordinary people can use strategies to destroy all monsters, what's the use of them? When they face mortals, how can they call themselves "immortal masters"?

"Although the words of the third sister are a little ugly, they are true. Not to mention that the idea of trying to destroy the whole scorpion group by relying on only one plan is too whimsical. Even those of us don't have so much time to wait here for the internal friction of the scorpion group to die."

"The old clan leader's departure from the family's spiritual vein must not be concealed for too long. If we don't return to the family's industries for a long time, it will also arouse the suspicion of outsiders. Once people know what's going on here, it will do much more harm to our Zhou family than those poisonous fire scorpions!"

As Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Xuanhao naturally had to stand up and support his son. Speaking of it, it was the first time in so many years that he took the initiative to respond to Zhou Xuanyu.

Seeing this pair of old enemies for many years, they abandoned their past grievances and United because of a younger generation. While other friars of the Zhou family felt funny, they were also sincerely happy for them.

The friars of the Zhou family have always been very united. In the past, although the struggle between Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Xuanyu was within the allowable control of their elders, it was still a hidden danger. Now this hidden danger has been removed, which is a good thing for the whole Zhou family.

What's more, Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Xuanhao's words really make sense. They, important figures of the Zhou family, usually have tasks. It's nothing to leave the family in a short time, but once they have been a long time, there will be trouble.

"Xiao Jiu, do you have anything to say?"

When the old patriarch Zhou Minghan saw that others didn't speak, his eyes turned, but he looked at Zhou Yang.

"It's true that my great grandfather learned that my grandson's strategy is flawed, but as my adoptive mother said, our great power belongs to ourselves. The strategy is originally a path. Since the path has been used up, it's time for us to practice the road with our magic tools!"

"Aren't scorpions hunting and foraging in the sand sea in groups? Then we'll gather around and help, surround and kill the poisonous fire scorpions going out for hunting, lead out the [poisonous fire Scorpion King] and destroy it in one fell swoop! "

Zhou Yang glanced at his family elders and spoke out his thoughts in an impassioned voice.

"Great power belongs to itself?"

The old clan leader Zhou Minghan narrowed his eyes, then laughed loudly and said, "what a great power belongs to himself. Although this statement is simple and easy to understand, it points directly to the road. We immortal practitioners have worked hard for thousands of years. In addition to seeking longevity and leisure, what we want is that great power belongs to ourselves?"

The laughter fell, and the old clan leader's face was solemn. He looked at the Zhou family with a thoughtful face and ordered: "just do as Xiao Jiu said. Now you go with me to hunt those poisonous fire scorpions that go out to hunt."

"Yes."

At the command of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, more than a dozen monks in the Zhou family took action quickly in the later stage of Qi training.

They rode on the Shatuo beast and set out from Qingping mountain. It took them less than two days to get to the periphery of the red flame iron vein. Then they used wild animals such as sand rabbits and gerbils brought from Qingping mountain oasis as bait, which easily attracted dozens of poisonous fire scorpions for hunting.

Hissing——

Dozens of first-order poisonous fire scorpions, led by several second-order poisonous fire scorpions, sniffed the bloody smell and rushed here. Soon, they were killed by more than a dozen monks of the Zhou family who hid their breath with magic tools. The survivors shouted "hissing" and sent out a distress signal while desperately digging holes to escape underground.

Point to steel!

Zhou Yang, who hasn't done anything for a long time, finally cast this newly learned second-order top-grade spell after casting for nearly a minute.

When the cultivation reaches seven levels of Qi, you can practice the second-order top-grade magic, and Zhou Yang's first second-order top-grade magic is the "pointing to the ground into steel" magic.

This spell is not very useful to deal with immortals, but it is a magic skill to deal with monsters who are very good at drilling holes or hiding in the desert. It is a magic skill that must be learned by every immortals in the later stage of Qi cultivation in the Far West.

It's just that magic is easy to learn and difficult to master. Zhou Yang has only studied this magic for a few months. It's not easy to succeed in casting magic at one time. It's almost impossible to speed up the casting speed to the level of old Zhou Quan without more than ten years of hard practice.

Like old man Zhou Quan, there are only one or two monks in the later stage of Qi practice who can display the second-order top-grade magic "turning the ground into steel" in a few interest hours, and they must be old monks over a hundred years old.

Generally speaking, except for those talents who have special talents in spell learning, ordinary immortals want to reduce the casting time to a few seconds or even a second. Either, like old Zhou Quan, they practice hard every day for ten years or even decades, or they use high-level cultivation to cast low-level spells.

Among the many spells Zhou Yang learned, excluding the first-order spells that have little combat effectiveness, the fastest spell to cast now is the second-order medium fire spell "fire snake", which can be used in normal combat with less than five seconds.

It is precisely because spells are easy to learn and difficult to be refined, and it is difficult to use them in battles at the same level that immortal practitioners will develop two skills: talisman making and weapon refining.

The talisman can seal the spells in the talisman with special talisman paper. It is very convenient for the immortal to activate the sealed spells in the talisman as long as he injects mana.

The magic weapon refined by the weapon refiner can be used by the immortal after sacrifice. Needless to say, it can only be used once and can be used repeatedly, unlike the spirit talisman.

Compared with those without magic tools and talismans, the gap in strength is definitely not one or two points, but several times or even ten times.

At this moment, with Zhou Yang's "pointing to the ground into steel" spell, those poisonous fire scorpions who wanted to dig a hole to escape immediately found that the originally soft sand land suddenly became as hard as fine steel. When the scorpion pliers hit it, they actually sputtered a large amount of sparks.

Those elders of the Zhou family are all experienced people. How could they miss this good opportunity and immediately smash all kinds of magic tools and spells at the scorpions on the ground in turn, and end this one-sided battle in a moment.

At this time, an angry scream came from the distance.

Then they saw that the calf like dark red [poisonous fire Scorpion King], like a gust of wind, rushed here from far to near with all the dust.

At the same time, ordinary poisonous fire scorpions with dark color were quickly drilled out of the sand in other directions around.

"When you continue to eliminate those ordinary poisonous fire scorpions, the [poisonous fire Scorpion King] will be handed over to me."

The old clan leader Zhou Minghan, who had never started, finally moved. His sword moved under his feet and intercepted the incoming [poisonous fire Scorpion King].

In the absence of the old clan leader Zhou Minghan, the command naturally fell to old Zhou Quan, the highest ranking of the 19 Zhou friars present.

The old man glanced at the battlefield and quickly gave orders according to the situation.

"Xuanhao, Xuanyu, Yuting and Xiaojiu, you four are responsible for cleaning up the monsters in the East."

"Old seven, old nine, xuantai, xuanbin and Xuanyan, you five are responsible for the south."

"Old five, Xuanhe, Xuanying..."

Zhou Yang followed his parents and quickly moved to kill dozens of poisonous fire scorpions in the East according to the order of old Zhou Quan.

Among the dozens of poisonous fire scorpions, the number of second-order poisonous fire scorpions is only seven, and there is only one second-order top-grade monster, which is the weakest among the monster groups that appear on all sides.

This was the first time Zhou Yang fought side by side with his parents. He still had some desire to show his parents the results of his practice over the years.

As soon as he approached the scorpions, he immediately sacrificed the second-order top-grade magic weapon "armor breaking dagger" refined by the old clan leader with four front teeth of [golden eating mouse], and instantly nailed four first-order poisonous fire scorpions to the ground.

Under the blade of "armor breaking dagger", these first-order poisonous fire scorpions are as hard as refined iron, just a little thicker than a layer of paper.

When Zhou's mother saw this, she even said, "well done! Yang'er, just deal with these first-order poisonous fire scorpions. Just give those second-order poisonous fire scorpions to your parents and your godmother! "

Hearing the previous sentence, Zhou Yang was still very happy. However, when he heard the words behind his mother, his face shrugged. He knew that his mother actually regarded himself as the child who needed their protection.

"I know."

He replied powerlessly, but he had no idea of protest, because he knew that even if he protested, his mother and father would not listen.

At present, he can only turn depression into strength and sprinkle all his Qi on those first-order poisonous fire scorpions. Under his imperial envoy, four "armor breaking daggers" harvest the lives of these low-order demons like a sickle in the hand of the God of death.
