Chapter 11

In the vast sand sea, two Shatuo beasts are running hard under the urging of the knight on their backs.

In the desert more than ten miles in front of the Shatuo beast, a thin rising line is spreading towards the depths of the desert at a speed faster than the galloping horse.

The thin line rises and falls, skews East and West, and does not completely go in a straight line. However, no matter how it turns, the two Shatuo beasts chasing after it can always change their direction and catch up with it in time.

Even when the thin line stopped extending, the knights on the backs of the two Shatuo beasts would timely rein in their mounts, stop and wait until the thin line appeared again and spread forward, and then they would start to keep up again.

The sun is very sunny, and the back of the Shatuo beast is very bumpy. For Zhou Yang, who rode a camel beast in the desert for the first time, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Thanks to the strong physique of the immortal, he hasn't been thrown up on the spot because he hasn't had a grain of rice in the past ten days. However, the bumpy feeling that all his internal organs have to shift has almost made him shout several times.

Looking at the front, the same is riding a camel beast all the way, but old man Zhou Quan stands on his hunchback like nothing, as if he can't feel any bumps at all.

How can Zhou Yang, a 20-year-old young man, shout so well when an old man of more than 100 years old can be so calm?

He had no choice but to clench his teeth and endure hard all the way. He hated the escaped golden rat in his heart.

If it was not for the successful completion of the "rat homing" plan, why should he suffer? The severely injured [golden rat] was slaughtered as early as in the refined iron vein.

After chasing for more than half a day, after hundreds of miles, Zhou Yang, who was already white on his hump, finally saw the old Zhou Quan leading the way and stopped the Shatuo beast.

"Hoo! Have you finally arrived? "

He reined in his horse with both hands, jumped down from his hunchback, sat down on the sand in a sweat, and gasped for breath. He was out of breath, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Jiu, you can't do it sometimes. I thought you could do anything!"

Old man Zhou Quan walked to him with ease. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and his face was full of ridicule.

"Hoo Hoo! I'm already like this. Don't tease me, Grandpa three. Let me have a good rest first! "

Zhou Yang turned his white eyes and, in the face of the old man's joke, just smiled bitterly and waved his hands again and again. He didn't want to move again.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "well, don't tease your boy. The beast must have arrived. I'll go and check the situation first. You can rest here and wait for me."

"Those three grandfathers should be more careful."

Zhou Yang nodded and had no objection to the old man's practice of acting alone.

[golden rat] has been seriously injured by them, and after hundreds of miles of long-distance travel, it is impossible to pose a threat to the old man Zhou Quan in good condition. He really doesn't have to worry about the safety of the old man Zhou Quan.

He is now afraid that his guess and that of the old man Zhou Quan are wrong, or that the discovered vein has little mining value, which would be too shocking.

In the following time, Zhou Yang was worried about gain and loss.

After a while, I hope to find a valuable ore vein this time, so that the family and myself can make a fortune.

After a while, he was afraid that he would waste his energy and kill dozens of mortal miners.

In this mood of worrying about gain and loss, he counted the time almost second by second. Several times, he could not help but follow him to find the old man Zhou Quan who took the first step.

So after waiting for nearly half an hour, old man Zhou Quan finally came back in his eager hope.

"How's it going? Grandpa three, how was your investigation? Have you found any trace of the vein? "

He couldn't wait to meet the old man, looked forward to the old man and asked about the situation.

"Yes, we're lucky. There's a red flame iron vein ahead!"

The old man Zhou Quan didn't sell off and directly told his discovery.

"Great!"

Zhou Yang was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Like refined iron, red flame iron is also a first-order spiritual gold. However, red flame iron is suitable for refining fire attribute magic tools. Many second-order fire attribute magic tools will add red flame iron as auxiliary materials. Therefore, in terms of value, red flame iron is even higher than refined iron by one or two points.

The refined iron ore in Qingping mountain of Zhou family can bring the net profit of 500 lower grade Lingshi every year. As long as the red flame iron vein is normally put into mining, the profit will certainly not be lower than this number. At that time, Zhou Yang and Zhou Quan, as discoverers, will only get dividends every year, but also get dozens of lower grade Lingshi per person.

Tens of dollars a year, hundreds of dollars a decade, year after year, it is also a huge amount.

Now that he is about to turn white, how can Zhou Yang not be excited?

"Xiao Jiu, don't be so happy. I haven't finished yet!"

Old man Zhou Quan looked at Zhou Yang, who was so happy that he was about to jump up, opened his mouth and whispered, "it's true that he found the red flame iron vein, but in this vein, in addition to the [golden rat], there are also a large number of poisonous fire scorpion monsters, at least hundreds. There are dozens of second-order poisonous fire scorpions. It's not sure whether there is a more powerful [poisonous fire Scorpion King]!"

what?

Zhou Yang's face changed and he was surprised by the news the old man said.

Poisonous fire scorpion is also a common desert monster in the boundless sand sea. This monster has both first-order and second-order. The first-order poisonous fire scorpion only contains fire poison in the scorpion needle. As long as you are careful not to be stabbed, the congenital friars can easily kill it.

However, as long as the poisonous fire scorpion is promoted to the second level, it can immediately obtain the "poisonous fire bullet" spell, which can spit fire bullets at the mouth and attack the enemy from a long distance. If it works hard, it can also shoot the scorpion needle on the tail at the enemy. Its power is equivalent to the second-level flying needle spell, and it contains powerful fire poison.

In the later stage of Qi practice, the following friars were shot by this scorpion needle. Unless they take a special second-order detoxification elixir immediately, they will burn themselves in poisonous fire in less than a quarter of an hour and die without a whole body.

This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that once the population of poisonous fire scorpion reaches hundreds or thousands, it will have a certain chance to evolve a third-order [poisonous fire Scorpion King] equivalent to friars in the foundation period.

[poisonous fire Scorpion King] it belongs to the third-order inferior monster, but if it is assisted by scorpions, it is much more difficult than many third-order middle-class monsters. Even if the friars are right in the later stage of foundation building, they dare not say they can win steadily.

"Yes, poisonous fire scorpions like heat. They also have the habit of swallowing fire spiritual minerals to strengthen themselves. It's not strange that red flame iron is used as fire spiritual gold to attract them to reproduce and settle here."

Zhou Yang thought of the records of poisonous fire scorpions, which he had read in the book "illustration of desert monsters", and immediately believed what Zhou Quan said.

However, when he thought of these things, he suddenly thought of a more important thing. He couldn't help staring at Old Man Zhou Quan and exclaimed:

"Grandpa three, the [poisonous fire Scorpion King] is a third-order monster. The third-order monster is not comparable to the first-order and second-order monsters. When the monster reaches the third-order, it must occupy the spirit vein like our immortals to continue to progress. If there is the [poisonous fire Scorpion King], doesn't it mean that there is a natural third-order spirit vein in addition to the red flame iron vein?"

"Yes, you are sharp. I didn't think of it until I found the poisonous fire scorpions."

The old man nodded admiringly and appreciated Zhou Yang's acuteness.

During the Qi training period, friars are scared when they hear the name of "poisonous fire Scorpion King". How can they think about this.

Even when he saw the dark poisonous fire scorpions, he was very frightened. He didn't expect this at all.

Or later, after retreating to a safe area and calming down, I thought of this just because of my professional reason of animal trainer.

Zhou Yang didn't care about the old man's praise at all. He had heard similar praise many times over the years and had immunity for a long time.

He was more concerned about where they should go next, so he couldn't help looking at the old man and asked, "what are the three grandpa's plans next? Should we go back directly and ask the old clan leader to come and find out the situation in person, or should we risk finding out the situation and then return to the family to report the situation to the old clan leader? "

"What do you think? I want to hear what you think. " Old man Zhou Quan didn't answer the question, but he took this opportunity to test Zhou Yang.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang frowned and couldn't help thinking.

After thinking about this quietly for about half an hour, he suddenly looked up, looked at the old man with bright eyes and said, "if Grandpa three asks my nephew and grandson what I think, it's to ignore whether there is [poisonous fire Scorpion King]. Let's kill the big mouse first. Besides, we can't let the miners in my Zhou family die in vain or let us wait for half a month, There was no real harvest. "

In the final analysis, he still felt ashamed. For those miners who died in vain, he wanted to do something for them. Even if he could not save them, he should at least avenge them.

Fortunately, this time, old man Zhou Quan did not object to his proposal.

"Well, then listen to you. Let's go and take the beast's nest and peel it to comfort the spirits of the dead miners!" The old man nodded gently and approved Zhou Yang's proposal.

Therefore, they found a safe place to shelter from the wind and settled two Shatuo beasts. Then old Zhou Quan sensed the specific location of the "blood spirit mark" and killed the escaped [golden rat] nest.
