Chapter 67

Time flies.

In the twinkling of an eye, Zhou Yang has been in charge of Haoyang Grottoes for three years.

In the past three years, he basically didn't leave Haoyang grottoes. In addition to his daily practice, he either studied the inheritance of refining tools obtained from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, or accompanied his mother Lin Yuting to experience ordinary people's life in mortal cities.

Lin Yuting is only a few years younger than Zhou Xuanhao. After Zhou Xuanhao built the foundation, it is impossible for the couple to grow old together. Therefore, in the last ten or twenty years of her life, she did not choose to stay with her husband on the Baisha River Oasis, but came to Haoyang cave to accompany Zhou Yang, the only son.

Zhou Yang actually understood his mother Lin Yuting's idea. He knew that his mother Lin Yuting came to accompany him. In addition to making up for the separation between mother and son in the past 20 or 30 years, he also didn't want his middle-aged husband to see him grow old with his own eyes.

It's not that he didn't fantasize about helping his mother Lin Yuting enter the foundation period, but it's a pity that every time he had this fantasy, he was shattered by the bloody facts.

Not to mention that Lin Yuting is now nearly 100 years old and only practices eight levels of Qi cultivation, it is said that her soft and weak will may not be able to break through the "divine knowledge level".

If Zhou Xuanyu was his adoptive mother, Zhou Yang would not worry about this at all.

It's not impossible to change a person's will, but Lin Yuting obviously has no time to do this. Moreover, Zhou Yang can't get the second foundation pill at all.

So what he can do is to accompany his mother for the next ten or twenty years, accompany her through the last time of her life, and don't let her leave any regrets.

This day, Zhou Yang was accompanying his mother Lin Yuting to help Bagu Zhou Xuanyan build an oasis over the oasis. Suddenly, he received a note for help from the red flame iron vein.

After reading the notes, his face sank first, and then soon returned to normal.

He smiled on his face, nodded slightly to his mother Lin Yuting and eight aunt Zhou Xuanyan and said, "it's no big deal, but several blind monsters broke into the mine and hurt people. I'll deal with it and come back."

The facts are certainly not as simple as he said.

If it were just an ordinary monster that broke into the mine and hurt people, it would have been destroyed by Zhou Xuanying, the thirteen aunt who was in charge there.

You know, as the red flame iron vein is put into mining, the net income generated by this vein to the Zhou family every year has reached 700 Lingshi, and the number is still growing every year. It is expected that the annual income will eventually stabilize at 1500 Lingshi.

Seeing that the benefits of this vein were so obvious, Zhou Yang sent Zhou Xuanying, the thirteen Gu who trained in seven layers of Qi, to the nearby side of the mine to protect the miners under the condition that he had his own spiritual vein in Haoyang cave.

Now even Zhou Xuanying, who practices Qi on the seventh floor, needs to send notes to him for help. It can be seen that the strength of the monster in the mine must be no worse than the second-class monster "golden rat" he met in the refined iron vein.

"It's a second-class monster [flame eating spider], and the number is at least five. When those miners were digging, they accidentally dug above these animals' nests. As a result, twenty or thirty miners were dragged away by them wrapped in spider silk. Now I've temporarily closed the mine, waiting for the clan leader to deal with it."

Seeing that Zhou Yang's foot stepped on the flying sword and fell, Zhou Xuanying, who sent out a note for help from the mine cave, hurriedly came to report the situation to him.

When Zhou Yang heard the word "swallow flame spider" on his face, he raised his eyebrows and flashed a clear color in his eyes.

"Flame eating spider" is just like its name. It likes to devour the spirit of fire and fire. Therefore, it often haunts in the hot places of volcanoes. As a spirit of fire, it is normal for red flame iron to appear under its veins.

Spiders are best at hiding themselves. "Flame eating spiders" hide under tens of meters deep mineral veins. Even friars like Zhou Yang scan the earth below with divine consciousness during the foundation period, it is difficult to find them sleeping with convergent breath.

He nodded with a clear face and said solemnly, "I have understood the situation. Aunt thirteen, you did a good job. Now you continue to be responsible for evacuating and comforting the frightened miners. I'll go down and see the situation myself and decide what to do."

Then he released his flying sword and broke the entrance of the mine sealed by Zhou Xuanying with a broken dragon stone. He moved and directly entered the mine.

Zhou Yang's divine sense is so powerful. The cave on the side of the red flame iron vein has been newly excavated for only a few years, and the tunnel is still shallow. As soon as he entered the cave, he swept his divine sense and found the place where the "flame eating spider" killed the miners.

However, his unscrupulous divine sense fluctuation also alerted the "flame eating spiders" hiding underground. After these underground killers sensed his powerful divine sense fluctuation, they immediately burst out their whole body breath and issued a warning to him.

There are eight "flame eating spiders", each as big as a calf, with a bright red carapace. The compound eyes of the eight fists are full of ferocious and violent colors. Even after sensing the breath of friar Zhou Yang during the foundation period, they don't have any fear, but release strong hostility and warn him.

"Get out!"

Zhou Yang gave a scold, and his divine sense suddenly pressed. In an instant, he crushed all the ferocious and violent will of the "flame eating spiders" into pieces.

Squeak squeak——

A sharp scream full of anger sounded from the deep part of the tunnel. The "flame eating spiders" were angered by Zhou Yang's attitude and took the initiative to drill out of their nests and appear in the tunnel.

"Hum, it's said that insect monsters have the lowest intelligence among monsters. It's true to see them today. They are only second-class top-grade monsters. They dare to take the initiative to attack friars Zhuji. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Zhou Yang gave a cold hum and disdained the "flame eating spiders" for their overestimation.

As soon as he pinched the sword formula in his hand, the divine knowledge led him. The third-order inferior flying sword "chixuan gold lightsaber" cut off the rising "flame eating spiders" with the brilliant sword light.

When the sword light hit, the "flame eating spiders" certainly wouldn't lead their necks to be killed. They opened their mouths and spit out spider silk to shoot at the sword light in an attempt to stop the sword light.

The silk of "flame eating spider" is reddish red, harder than refined iron and full of toughness. The easy second-order flying sword is wrapped by this silk and will soon be wrapped around and lose contact with the monk.

Moreover, because "flame eating spider" likes to eat spirit objects with fire and fire attributes, its spider silk is not afraid of fire as other spider silk and silk, and even weakens its spell power when resisting fire spell attacks.

In the fairy world, a robe made of "flame eating spider" spider silk is more expensive than ordinary second-order middle-class magic tools, and it is very popular.

However, these "flame eating spiders" are obviously miscalculated today.

Under the bright red and golden sword light of Zhou Yang, the cobwebs they shot out were crushed into annihilation powder on the spot like snow in the mountains.

The sword light bypassed several "flame eating spiders", but it did not kill any monster, but cut off half of their spider legs, making them temporarily lose their ability to move.

When the remaining "flame eating spiders" saw this behind the scenes, they were shocked and angry. The eyes of the eight fists under their abdomen were full of fear and anger. They looked at Zhou Yang and screamed more than once. Their bodies involuntarily retreated towards the coming direction.

No matter how low their wisdom is, they already know behind the scenes that the creature with two legs walking upright is the existence they can't provoke.

The animal instinct tells them that only by staying away from the upright creature can they save their lives.

"Want to run now? Don't you think it's too late? "

Zhou Yang smiled coldly and was not ready to let go of the remaining "flame eating spiders".

The sword Jue in his hand was drawn, and the "red Xuan gold lightsaber" turned into a red gold sword light again, chasing and killing the remaining "flame eating spiders".

These "flame eating spiders" are very agile in the mine. They can move several tens of feet with eight legs. They can't be caught up by humans at all.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast they run, they can't run faster than Zhou Yang's flying sword.

Zhou Yang knew the sword. When the sword light flashed, all the escaped "flame eating spiders" followed their companions' footsteps. He cut off half of the spiders' legs and collapsed in the mine.

"If you dare to eat the people of my Zhou family, you should have killed them all. However, it would be too cheap for you to kill you in this way. You'd better save your life and let you spin silk for my Zhou family all your life to make atonement!"

In the mine, Zhou Yang took back his flying sword and looked at the "flame eating spider" struggling and hissing all over the ground. A cold color flashed in his eyes.

As he said, if he had not taken a fancy to the role of the spider silk spit by the "flame eating spider", he would never have mercy on these animals for eating people.

These "flame eating spiders" are adult demons, which can no longer be domesticated and kept in captivity. Now he keeps these animals alive, but he wants to squeeze their residual value. When these animals can no longer spin silk, they will die.

At the same time, there are two spirit animal rooms in Haoyang Grottoes that have not been put into use. The eight "flame eating spiders" here can just be divided into two batches and detained in captivity. There is the suppression of the third-order inferior array "earth guarding golden dagger array". Even if he leaves Haoyang Grottoes in the future, he is not afraid that these animals will go against the sky.

Spider monsters have extremely strong vitality and almost all have the ability to regenerate broken limbs. Zhou Yang is not worried that several "flame eating spiders" will die because of their broken legs. He also has the intention to punish these human eating animals. Instead of beating them unconscious and healing them immediately, he uses "earth hiding" to bypass these animals and escape into their nests.

Not expected by Zhou Yang, in addition to the remaining monster bones eaten before, there were also the bodies of Zhou family miners swept away by them. Most of these miners' bodies were wrapped by spider silk and hung on the cave wall. Only four or five bodies were eaten, leaving only bones and clothes on the ground.

He looked at those hanging corpses. After a moment of silence, he waved his big sleeve, released his flying sword, cut the silk bag, put all the shriveled corpses out and fell to the ground, and then packed all the "flame eating spider" silk in the nest into the storage bag. These are good materials for refining utensils.

Suddenly, Zhou Yang looked happy, as if he had found something good, and hurriedly strode to a corner of the nest.

I saw a group of red spider silk in the corner. On top of it, there were more than a dozen fist sized spider silk egg bags. Each egg bag contained a White Spider Egg the size of an egg.
