Chapter 8

[golden eating rat] is a very aggressive monster. Although the breath of Zhou Quan and Zhou Yang is not weak, they do not feel unmatched danger. Therefore, they are very angry with the two humans who disturb their eating and will not let them go easily.

After Zhou Yang was blocked by the [silver Gang shield] automatic protector, the cunning monster hid secretly for less than a quarter of an hour and attacked again.

The target of this [golden rat] attack is old Zhou Quan. In order to lead him out, the old man deliberately put away the golden light of his body protection, which makes him think he has found an opportunity.

However, the veteran Zhou Quan was not a newcomer like Zhou Yang who had just come down the mountain. As soon as he jumped out of the cave wall where he was hiding, he was immediately knocked over by a flying round shield.

Then, just after it was frightened and wanted to run away again, a golden light suddenly burst out from the fingers of old Zhou Quan and quickly disappeared into the ground of the mine.

Suddenly, the ground within tens of meters became as hard as steel under the action of golden light, and half of the [golden rat] who had escaped half was stuck on the ground.

Good chance!

No matter Zhou Yang or Zhou Quan, they didn't expect that "pointing to the ground into steel" could use the effect of "painting the ground as a prison". Their eyes were bright and launched follow-up attacks almost at the same time.

When old man Zhou Kui raised his hand, the hammer head of the golden melon sledgehammer suddenly soared to the size of the water tank and smashed the golden rat stuck on the ground like Mount Tai.

Zhou Yang remembered the old man's previous words. Instead of offering magic weapons to attack, he used his second-order magic "fire snake" which he had been practicing hard for several years.

He quickly pinched his fingers, summoned a flame python with a length of several meters and jumped at the golden rat.

At that time, the old clan leader said that the golden sun fire formula he practiced was good at fighting, but it was not aimless. This ordinary second-order magic "fire snake" was released in his hands, and its power was at least twice that of the "fire snake" released by ordinary six layer monks practicing Qi.

Boom——

After the shaking explosion of a position, the whole mine tunnel collapsed because of the attack of Zhou Quan and Zhou Yang, which made them pale.

Just now I only remember to kill the demon, but I forgot that they are now in the depths of tens of meters deep underground. If the mine cave really collapses and hundreds of millions of sediment falls down, they can't carry it. It's similar to Jindan friars.

"Come on, let's quit first."

After the old man Zhou Quan turned pale, he immediately made a decision to withdraw temporarily. He didn't even have time to take back the golden melon hammer. He directly pulled Zhou Yang, who was still in shock, out of the dangerous area along the mine road.

Compared with eliminating demons, of course, it is more important to keep Zhou Yang, the gifted son of the Zhou family.

The two withdrew for tens of meters until they reached the exit of the mine.

Then the two of them waited for a while. After the shaking underground was completely over, old Zhou Quan ordered Zhou Yang to continue to wait. He went down alone to check the situation.

After a while, old Zhou Quan, who went down to check the situation, came back, but he came back empty handed.

"That animal's life is so big that it ran away seriously!" Facing Zhou Yang's puzzled eyes, old man Zhou Quan scolded bitterly and explained the situation.

When Zhou Yang heard the speech, he also sighed with a pity on his face: "it's really a pity. Such a second-class monster is not common here. If you can take it off and peel it and give it to the old clan leader, you will be able to refine several second-class magic weapons!"

It's good that he didn't say this. When he said this, old Zhou Quan's face looked ugly again.

The old man originally wanted to show his strength in front of his nephew and grandson and tell the young man that he is old but not old. Don't really think of yourself as the old and weak among mortals who can only sit at home and wait to die.

As a result, the old man can imagine how angry he is.

"It's not over yet. The beast [golden rat] bears the most grudge. This time we'll seriously injure it here. After it's healed, it will certainly come to eat people. Then we'll prepare the relevant treasures in advance and be sure to kill it, skin and bone it!" The old man said with a look of hate.

When Zhou Yang heard the old man say this, his heart was pulled. If the [golden rat] would come for revenge as the old man said, would the mining continue?

The family sent him to garrison Qingping mountain. His main duty is to protect this fine iron vein. If the mining is stopped because of monsters, the loss will be the shining spirit stone!

There was no disguise for the change of his face. Old Zhou Quan immediately understood what he was worried about. He couldn't help comforting him and said, "don't worry, Xiao Jiu. I will help you and the family explain this. The [golden rat] is a second-class monster. It's beyond your strength. No one will look down on you."

"Thanks for Grandpa San's advice, but my nephew and grandson still have a little doubt. This refined iron vein has been mined by our Zhou family for decades. Although many desert monsters have been attracted by human breath to attack miners, no one has ever found [golden rat]."

"The [golden eating rat] was clearly an adult monster. If it had been moving here in the refined iron vein before, it shouldn't have been exposed at all."

Zhou Yang looked at the old man suspiciously and slowly said the question he had just thought of.

He knew that the old man was a second-class animal trainer. In terms of his understanding of monsters, no one in the Zhou family could match the centenarian except the old patriarch.

"Well, that's what you said. The monster [golden rat] has always liked to nest and reproduce in metal veins. The Zhou family has been mining this refined iron ore for decades. If there was [golden rat] in the veins, the family elders who explored the veins and brother Zhou Qian should not be able to find it, unless..."

"Unless it's recently migrated!"

Ye and sun exclaimed almost at the same time, and then looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

"That's right. As far as I know, [golden rat] this monster needs to devour a lot of metals with different attributes if it wants to be promoted to the third level. The escaped beast must have migrated here from another vein recently!"

Old man Zhou Quan excitedly stretched out his hand and pulled his beard, shouting brightly all over his face.

Zhou Yang couldn't be better. As soon as the old man finished his words, he blushed and nodded again and again: "since Grandpa three said so, he must not be wrong, but he doesn't know how far the mine vein where this [golden rat] was originally located is from here. If it's not far, our Zhou family may make a fortune again!"

No wonder they are so happy, because the Zhou family has established a family rule since their ancestor Zhou Yuquan opened branches and scattered leaves.

That is, as long as the children of the Zhou family find an ownerless mineral vein or natural spiritual vein in the boundless sand sea and report it to the family, after the family occupies and develops these resources, the discoverer will receive 10% of the output dividend every year, which will continue until the discoverer is seated or the mineral vein resources are exhausted.

If the situation is really like what they both guessed this time, [golden rat] migrates from another undiscovered vein nearby, as long as they find the vein and report the location to the family, they can lie down and collect dividends in the future.

In this case, how can you be unhappy?

However, they are both immortals who have practiced for many years. Even if they are happy, they will not jump and jump like ordinary mortals. The demeanor of immortals should be maintained.

Moreover, now everything is just their guess, which has not been really confirmed.

However, when Zhou Yang calmed down and thought about how to find the possible ore vein, the old man Zhou Quan suddenly looked at him with hesitation and whispered, "well, Xiao Jiu, how about I discuss with you?"

"Grandpa three, please say." Zhou Yang answered conditionally, then raised his head and looked at the old man in surprise. This is not the tone of the elders to the younger generation.

The old man's face turned red when he looked at it like this, and a look of shame flashed in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "if you really find a mineral vein, I can give you the credit and let you enjoy the 10% dividend, and then you can take out three components from your share of bonus every year to your second brother?"

"This..."

As soon as Zhou Yang's face changed, he immediately understood what the old man meant.

According to the family rules, if more than one person finds a vein at the same time, the family dividend will be shared by more than one person, and then the dividend will be owned by the family.

Zhou Quan is over a hundred years old. Even if Zhou Yang shares the 10% dividend with him, he won't get it for a few years. He may even sit down before the family develops and uses the vein.

However, if Zhou Yang receives the 10% dividend alone, he may have a great chance of building the foundation in the future. Even if he fails to build the foundation in the future, he can eat the dividend for decades at the age of 20.

In this way, even if Zhou Yang only takes out 30% of his dividend every year and gives it to his brother Zhou Bao (the grandson of old Zhou Quan), it will make a lot of money for the old Zhou Quan family.

It's just that old man Zhou Quan's practice is strictly detrimental to the interests of the family. It's a selfish behavior at the expense of public interests, especially when he is still an elder of the family.

Old man Zhou Quan obviously knew that his practice was very bad. At this time, he didn't reply when he saw Zhou Yang's face greatly changed. He was even more ashamed in his eyes, but some beliefs in his heart supported him to continue:

"I know it's bad for me to do this, but Xiao Jiu, you should also understand your second brother. Your second brother is only a inferior spiritual root, and his parents have passed away. Once I sit down, how hard will it be for him to support the large family left by me alone? I have lived for more than 100 years and have never done anything sorry for the family in my life. Only this time, I will be regarded as the old man, please! "

In the end, the old man was already in tears.
