Chapter 30

The success of Zhou Xuanhao's foundation building is a great celebration for the whole Zhou family. Therefore, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan personally rushed to the "Haoyang cave" to confirm the situation. When he returned to the family, he asked people to send invitations and invite the four immortals to watch the ceremony and celebrate.

In the Xiuxian world around Yuquan Lake oasis, almost all Xiuxian families and scattered experts who have a good relationship with the Zhou family have received invitations.

After receiving the invitation, these people either sent family elders to come with gifts to celebrate, or brought their children to increase their knowledge.

The friars who were originally stationed outside the Zhou family also put aside their work for the time being and rushed back to the family to participate in the celebration that had not been seen in decades.

A large number of immortals gathered on Yuquan peak, which made Yuquan peak lively.

The Zhou family also took this opportunity to hold a small exchange meeting on Yuquan peak. They took out some stored pills, magic tools, talismans and other treasures from the treasure house and sold them to those casual practitioners who came here. At the same time, they purchased all kinds of raw materials for alchemy and utensils.

As for those family friars, because the major immortal families basically cultivate their own tool refiners and alchemists, the second-order elixirs and magic tools taken out by the Zhou family are not enough to attract these people to buy.

On the contrary, some unknown spiritual objects occasionally appear in the hands of casual monks, which will arouse the interest of these family friars and buy some.

Then those casual practitioners would take the spirit stone and turn around and go to the Zhou family's stall to buy magic tools and pills.

But Zhou Yang couldn't see the noisy scene.

On that day, after he learned something from the words of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he revealed his heart to his parents that day, and then followed the old patriarch back to the family.

After returning to the family, Zhou Yang said goodbye to his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, and then left Yuquan Lake oasis alone on a Shatuo beast with the advice of the old patriarch and adoptive mother.

If you don't count the family mission to qingpingshan oasis, this is the first time that Zhou Yang went away alone 32 years after he came to this mysterious and vast fairy world.

His destination is Baishahe oasis, a desert oasis more than 6000 miles away from Yuquan Lake oasis, where there is jinshafang City, the largest xiuxianrenfang city in the immortal world tens of thousands of miles around.

The ruler of Baishahe oasis is the Chen family in baituoling. The Chen family is a Xiuxian family that has been inherited for seven or eight hundred years. The founder of the family is an expert in Zifu period. The leader of the contemporary Chen family, Chen Yaohui, is better than the blue, and his cultivation is higher than that of the old ancestor who opened the Chen family.

Today, the Chen family in baituoling has one immortal in Zifu period, twelve in foundation period, thousands in Qi training period and millions of secular people. It is the largest immortal family in the immortal world for tens of thousands of miles around.

When the children of Chen family in baituoling go out, even if they meet the disciples of Huangsha gate, they also want to sell their face. This shows their prominence.

The Chen family is a prominent family. A small Xiuxian family like the Yuquan Zhou family could not have entered the eyes of a big family like the Chen family. The two sides are not of the same magnitude at all.

However, Zhou Yuquan, the ancestor of the Zhou family who originally founded the Zhou family, once helped Chen Yaohui, the head of the contemporary Chen family, when he was young, because he was born in Huangsha gate.

Therefore, after opening up the Yuquan Zhou family, the ancestors of the Chen family felt their original kindness. They not only set aside two shops in the "jinshafang city" created by the Chen family as gifts to the Zhou family, but also included the Zhou family in the ranks of the Chen family's Alliance family, so that the Zhou family can share the benefits in the same alliance circle.

For example, the "foundation building conference" to be held by the Chen family is an activity that only the Chen family alliance family is qualified to participate in.

Zhou Yang's visit to Baishahe oasis this time not only looks for an opportunity to break through the bottleneck, but also bears the heavy trust of the family. His son inherits his father's business and replaces Zhou Xuanhao, the father who has built the foundation, to sit in the shop opened by the family in "jinshafang City".

The route from Yuquan Lake oasis to Baisha River Oasis is very mature. Although there is no strict road in the desert, through the joint efforts of several generations of monks of the Zhou family, dozens of "signal towers" have been established in the thousands of miles of desert between the two oases to ensure that the monks of the Zhou family from the two places will not get lost halfway.

Of course, the "signal tower" is Zhou Yang's understanding. The actual situation is that the array master of the Zhou family refined dozens of first-order top-grade arrays "Yuan magnetic traction arrays", and then asked people to arrange these arrays in thousands of miles of desert from Yuquan Lake oasis to Baishahe oasis.

As long as the Zhou family or friars close to the Zhou family walk on this road with a specially refined first-order magic tool "Yin-Yang magnetic needle", they can contact any array within a hundred miles around by virtue of the magic tool, and there is no fear of getting lost.

However, despite the guidance of the "signal tower", Zhou Yang suffered a lot from the dangerous and bad weather in the desert.

After he set out from Yuquan Lake oasis, he encountered three sandstorms in just half a month. When each sandstorm came, he could only hide under the belly of Shatuo beast like an ostrich, and then watched countless yellow sand "bury" himself alive.

If the sandstorm only makes Zhou Yang look pale and suffer at most, the quicksand that never knows where it will appear in the desert will kill some people.

Unlike sandstorms, quicksand shows obvious signs before it appears. Only when you step on it can you know that you are in quicksand.

Shatuo beasts are born with special talents, so that they can always find abnormalities before the arrival of dust storms and warn their owners in time.

But in the face of quicksand, even the monster living in the desert has nothing to do.

Before people and livestock step on quicksand, it is completely the same as normal sand land, which is very difficult to find.

Once stepping on quicksand, a normal weight adult man will completely disappear on the ground in less than ten seconds.

Zhou Yang and the Shatuo beast under him weigh more than three tons. Once they fall into quicksand, they will sink into the quicksand in less than three seconds.

For the first time, Zhou Yang had no time to make any response when he fell into quicksand with people and camel animals, so he sank into the sand with Shatuo animals.

Fortunately, before he went out, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan repeatedly told him to put a few "earth escape" talismans in his sleeve. In his panic, he timely inspired the talisman to escape from the quicksand area with Shatuo beast.

This experience of being trapped in quicksand really frightened Zhou Yang. The sense of terror and suffocation like falling into the abyss was more frightening than death.

Since then, every day when he sat on the back of the Shatuo beast and walked forward, he would release his divine consciousness to scan the ground ten meters in front of him. At the same time, he pasted the talisman of "earth escape" on his arms and legs.

Although this is extremely exhausting, it can at least make people feel at ease.

Only in this way, Zhou Yang's speed of advance was greatly reduced. He could only advance less than 300 miles a day, which was far lower than the normal speed of Shatuo animals traveling 500 miles a day.

This day, after Zhou Yang had been driving all day, the people and horses were tired and set up a camp under a leeward sandy slope.

He first put the camp tent in good shape, and then gave the Sha Tuo beast several grains of the first Ling Dan, "Jingyuan Dan", which was made from the blood of the monster, to replenish the strength and hang the camel bell.

After all this, he was relieved to leave the Shatuo beast outside to watch the night for himself. He was relieved to enter the tent to meditate and restore the lost power of divine consciousness.

The temperature in the desert is cold at night, and the lowest can be below zero. Zhou Yang is better in the closed camel skin tent, but the SatoS lying outside have their limbs rolled up into a ball, and the breath exhaled from the mouth and nose has condensed into white fog.

This domesticated Shatuo beast is not only the best riding mount in the desert, but also an excellent sentry.

In the silent night in the desert, the Shatuo beast has excellent perception ability and can clearly sense the sound of mice digging several meters deep underground. They are responsible for guarding. Those desert monsters who want to launch a sneak attack from underground are basically impossible to succeed in sneak attack.

The night is getting darker and the temperature is getting lower and lower. The Shatuo beast responsible for guarding outside the tent has buried most of its body in the yellow sand, leaving only its head exposed on the ground.

Suddenly, it seemed that the Shatuo beast was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head vigilantly and looked up at the sandy slope.

Jingling!

The urgent camel bell, accompanied by the anxious neighing of the Shatuo beast, quickly woke up Zhou Yang, who was meditating and resting in the tent.

He almost didn't think about it. At the first time, he threw his sleeves and offered the silver Gang shield magic weapon that had saved his life many times, and then rushed out of the tent with the magic weapon.

Whoosh!

As soon as he rushed out of the tent, Zhou Yang heard a sharp sound of breaking the air in his ear. He was no stranger to the sound. It was the sound of the flying sword of the immortal's imperial envoy breaking the air.

Sure enough, the next moment he saw a golden light hitting his silver Gang shield magic weapon.

"Second order top defense magic weapon!"

The golden light scattered on the silver Gang shield, showing a two foot long golden cone magic weapon. At the same time, a scream full of surprise rang from afar.

Zhou Yang looked along the voice and saw two black robed masked friars in black robes standing on the sand slope looking at himself.

Seeing him, one of the black robed friars reached out and called the failed cone magic weapon back to his hand. He looked at the silver Gang shield magic weapon in front of him with greedy eyes and shouted fiercely: "boy, give you a chance to live. Hand over this second-class top-grade defense magic weapon and spare you from dying!"

"Sand bandit?"

Zhou Yang frowned and didn't care about the clamor of the black robed monk. He just looked at the two uninvited guests thoughtfully and asked.

Hearing his straightforward words, the eyes of the two black robed friars were cold. The black robed friar who had not shot said coldly: "we know we are sand bandits and can be so calm. It seems that the little brother is not an ordinary family friar. I don't know which family the little brother came from?"

"What? Will you stop and walk away when I tell you? " Zhou Yang looked at them with a smile, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"Of course not!"

The monk in black shook his head, then waved his arm, offered a shining red flag, looked at Zhou Yang and sneered, "but if you explain your origin clearly, if we kill you, if we get a good harvest, maybe you will kindly give your body to your people!"

"I see!"

Zhou Yang nodded, suddenly waved his hand, and the four "armor breaking daggers" inserted in his waist came out of their scabbard, "whoosh whoosh" turned into four Dawson white cold lights, which shot into the sand not far behind him.

Ah!

The shrill scream suddenly sounded from the underground behind Zhou Yang.

"Old three!"

"Third brother!"

On the sandy slope, two monks in black changed their eyes and couldn't help shouting.

It turned out that they didn't come tonight, but three. Another person has been hiding underground, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, people are tigers and tigers are people. Zhou Yang has long found that there are people hidden underground.

So while stalling with the two black robed friars on the ground, after locking the enemy's position, he suddenly sacrificed magic tools to give the other party a counter sneak attack.
