Cultivation Begins From The Desert

"Xiao Jiu's strategy initially seemed to be successful. After the old man burned all the desert plants, the food supply of the poisonous fire scorpion group had problems. In less than half a month, the scorpion group began to kill each other. Due to the situation, and the fact that the old man took the opportunity to attack and kill, the number of scorpions has dropped by nearly 50% compared to when they were at their peak."

"But now the third-tier [Poison Fire Scorpion King] has realized the seriousness of the problem, forcibly stopped the ordinary poison fire scorpions from killing each other, and sent the scorpion to hunt deep in the desert. Over the food crisis."

On Qingping Mountain, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan summoned all the Zhou family monks here, and explained his results of the month and the frontline information.

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

But when they heard what the old patriarch said later, the joy on everyone's faces faded a little, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and meditate.

The poisonous fire scorpion is a monster after all, 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.

From this point of view, Zhou Yang's "ecological chain destruction" tactic does not seem to be as perfect as everyone imagined.

"Hey, I said, what are you all thinking? Now we have reduced the number of scorpions by 50% without hurting a single person. The scorpions are all wiped out? Don’t dream, it’s a monster, not a bug that ordinary people can trample to death. Over the years, have you ever heard of anyone who killed a monster without directly fighting the monster? ?”

Just as everyone was thinking about the flaws in Zhou Yang's "ecological chain destruction" tactic, Zhou Xuanyu suddenly sneered and broke the silence in an unceremonious tone.

Although her words were a bit unpleasant, they also awakened everyone and made them realize that they had fallen into a misunderstanding.

There has never been a perfect strategy in this world, but they want to rely on a small strategy to eliminate a group of monsters, how ridiculous!

And who are they? They are cultivators of immortals, if all monsters can be wiped out with a strategy that ordinary people can use, then what's the use of cultivators like them? How can they call themselves "immortal masters" when they face mortals?

"Third sister's words are a little harsh, but they are true, not to mention that the idea of ​​destroying the entire scorpion swarm with just one strategy is too whimsical, even we people don't have so much time to wait here The scorpion swarm consumes dead light."

"The fact that the old patriarch left the family's spiritual veins must not be concealed for too long. If we people do not return to the family's various industries for a long time, it will also arouse suspicion from outsiders. Once people know what happened here, it will cause serious damage to our Zhou family. The harm is much greater than those poisonous fire scorpions!"

Zhou Xuanzhen, as Zhou Yang's father, naturally had to stand up and support his son at this time. Speaking of which, this was the first time in so many years that he took the initiative to respond to Zhou Xuanyu's words.

Seeing this pair of old enemies who have been friends for many years put aside their past differences and unite because of a junior, the other Zhou family monks felt amused in their hearts, but they were also sincerely happy for the two of them.

The monks of the Zhou family have always been very united. Although the fight between Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Xuanyu was within the control of the elders, it was still a hidden danger. Now that this hidden danger has been removed, it is a good thing for the entire Zhou family.

What's more, the words of Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou Xuanhao are indeed reasonable. These important people of the Zhou family usually have missions, so it's okay to leave the family for a short period of time, but if it takes a long time, there will definitely be troubles.

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

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan saw that the others were silent, and turned his eyes to Zhou Yang, the person involved.

"Great-grandfather clearly learned that my grandson's strategy is flawed. This is a fact, but as the mother-in-law said, the great power of our immortal cultivators belongs to ourselves, and the strategy is originally a small way. Since the usefulness of the small way has been exhausted, it is natural for us to hold the magic weapon." It's time to practice the Dao!"

"Aren't the scorpions grouped into groups to go deep into the sand sea to hunt and forage? Then I'll gather around to help, surround and kill the poisonous fire scorpions that are hunting and go out to lure that [Poisonous Fire Scorpion King] out, and destroy it in one fell swoop!"

Zhou Yang glanced at the family elders who were looking at him, and expressed his thoughts in a passionate tone.

"The mighty power belongs to itself?"

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan squinted his eyes, and then laughed loudly: "What a great power belongs to oneself. Although this statement is simple and easy to understand, it points directly to the Dao. I wait for immortals to practice hard for thousands of years, except for longevity. , isn't the other thing you want, is the great power to belong to yourself?"

As soon as the laughter fell, the old patriarch's face became serious, and he looked at the thoughtful Zhou family members with a solemn face and ordered: "Just do as Xiao Jiu said, and you will follow the old man to hunt and kill those A poisonous fire scorpion going out to hunt."

"As ordered."

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan gave an order, and the Zhou family's dozen or so monks in the late stage of Qi training quickly acted.

They set off from Qingping Mountain on the Shatuo Beast, and arrived at the outskirts of the Chiyan Iron Deposit in less than two days, and then used sand rabbits, gerbils and other wild animals brought from the Qingping Mountain Oasis as bait, and it was very easy. It easily attracted dozens of poisonous fire scorpions that went out to hunt.

sizzle——

Dozens of Tier 1 poisonous fire scorpions, led by a few Tier 2 poisonous fire scorpions, rushed over smelling the smell of blood, and were quickly killed by more than a dozen Zhou family monks who had concealed their auras with magic weapons. The survivors yelled "hissing" to send out a distress signal, while desperately digging holes to escape underground.

Pointing to the ground into steel!

Zhou Yang, who hadn't made a move all this time, finally cast this second-level high-grade spell that he had just learned after nearly a minute of casting.

If one's cultivation level reaches the seventh level of Qi training, one can practice second-level high-grade spells, and Zhou Yang's first second-level high-grade spell is the "pointing to the ground into steel" spell.

This spell is not very useful when dealing with immortal cultivators, but it is a magical skill for dealing with monsters in the desert that are very good at drilling holes or escaping from the ground. spell.

It’s just that spells are easy to learn but difficult to master. Zhou Yang has only learned this spell for a few months, and it’s not easy to be able to cast a spell successfully at one time. If you want to speed up the spell-casting speed to the level of old man Zhou Quan, no one who has practiced hard for more than ten years is basically the same. Impossible to do.

Like the old man Zhou Quan, who can cast the second-level top-grade spell "pointing to the ground into steel" in the late stage of Qi training within a few breaths, there may only be one or two out of a hundred people, and they must be those who are more than a hundred years old. old monk.

Generally speaking, except for those geniuses with special talents in spell learning, ordinary immortals want to reduce the casting time of spells to a few seconds or even one second, or, like the old man Zhou Quan, who has been working hard every day for ten years Practice for more than ten years or even decades, or cast low-level spells with high-level cultivation bases.

Among the many spells that Zhou Yang has learned, removing those first-level spells that have little combat power is not counted. Now the fastest-casting spell is the second-level mid-level fire spell "Fire Snake". The casting time is less than five seconds, barely Can be used in normal combat.

It is precisely because spells are easy to learn but difficult to master, and are difficult to use in battles of the same level, immortal cultivators develop the two skills of talisman making and weapon refining.

Talisman makers can use special talisman paper to seal spells in it. Immortal cultivators can activate the spells sealed in the talisman as long as they inject mana, which is very convenient.

As for the magic weapon refined by the craftsman, the immortal cultivator can use it at will after sacrifice, not to mention that it can only be used once like the magic talisman, and can be used repeatedly.

The difference in strength between a cultivator who has a magical weapon and a talisman and a cultivator who does not have a magical talisman is definitely not a point or two in strength, but several times or even ten times the difference.

At this moment, as Zhou Yang used the spell of "pointing the ground into steel", those poisonous fire scorpions who wanted to dig holes to escape immediately found that the originally soft sandy ground suddenly became as hard as fine steel, and the scorpion pincers hit On the top, there were actually a large number of sparks sputtering out.

Those elders of Zhou's family are experienced generations, how could they let go of this good opportunity, and immediately threw all kinds of magic weapons and spells at the scorpions on the ground in turn, and ended the one-sided battle in a short time .

At this moment, there was an angry neighing sound suddenly from afar.

Then everyone saw that the huge dark red [Poison Fire Scorpion King], like a gust of wind, was rushing towards this side from far and near like a gust of wind, carrying dust all over the sky.

At the same time, ordinary pitch-black poisonous fire scorpions also quickly drilled out of the sand in other directions around them.

"You continue to clear those ordinary poisonous fire scorpions, and the [Poisonous fire scorpion king] will be handed over to the old man."

The old patriarch Zhou Minghan, who had never made a move, finally moved. With the light of the sword under his feet, he blocked the attacking [Poison Fire Scorpion King].

With the absence of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, the command naturally fell to Zhou Quan, the senior man among the nineteen Zhou family monks present.

The old man swept his gaze across the battlefield, and quickly issued an order according to the situation.

"Xuan Hao, Xuan Yu, Yu Ting, Xiao Jiu, the four of you are responsible for sweeping away the monsters in the east."

"Lao Qi, Lao Jiu, Xuan Tai, Xuan Bin, Xuan Yan, the five of you are in charge of the south."

"Old Five, Xuanhe, Xuanying..."

Zhou Yang followed behind his parents, and according to the old man Zhou Quan's order, he quickly moved and killed dozens of poisonous fire scorpions that appeared to the east.

Among these dozens of poisonous fire scorpions, there are only seven second-level poisonous fire scorpions, and only one second-level top-rank monster beast, which is the weakest group among the monster beasts that appear all around.

This is Zhou Yang's first time fighting side by side with his parents, and he still has a desire to show off, wanting to let his parents see the results of his practice over the years.

So as soon as he got close to the scorpion group, he immediately sacrificed the second-level high-grade magic weapon "armor-piercing dagger" refined by the old patriarch with the four front teeth of [Gold-Eating Rat], and instantly nailed the four first-level poisonous fire scorpions to death. on the ground.

Under the blade of the "armor-piercing dagger", these first-order poisonous fire scorpions had a carapace as hard as refined iron, only a little thicker than a layer of paper.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother at the side immediately praised: "Good job! Yang'er, you can deal with these first-level poisonous fire scorpions, and leave the second-level poisonous fire scorpions to parents and your godmother to deal with!"

Hearing the previous sentence, Zhou Yang was still very happy in his heart, but when he heard what his mother said later, his face shrugged, knowing that his mother still regarded himself as the child who needed their protection.

"The child knows."

He replied weakly, but he didn't have the slightest thought of protesting, because he knew that even if he protested, his mother and father would definitely not listen.

At the moment, he can only turn depression into strength, and spread all his anger on those first-order poisonous fire scorpions. Under his command, the four "armor-piercing daggers" frantically harvested these low-level weapons like the sickle in the hands of the god of death The lives of super monsters.
