Chapter 642

FD [golden 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.

Who is selfless in life?

When an old man who has dedicated hundreds of years of life to his family burst into tears in front of him and begged a younger generation who was the same generation as his grandson, Zhou Yang really couldn't refuse the old man's selfish request.

It is human nature for an old man to leave a considerable legacy for his descendants when he is about to die.

Even the harshest person can't blame anything for it.

In particular, the old man did not use his power to covet family property to support his younger generation, but just wanted to make his own reward "normal".

"Grandpa three, don't worry. If I can really find a new ore vein, as long as I live one day, I will hand over your share of the dividend to brother Zhou Bao. However, I must explain to you that once I fall halfway or brother Zhou Bao sits down in the future, your share of the dividend will still be handed over to the family!"

Zhou Yang looked at the tearful old man in front of him and solemnly promised.

He didn't ask the old man to pay the 20% bonus. He couldn't take the money. The condition of agreeing to the old man was to play a marginal ball beside the family rules. If he took the money again, it would really become "harming the public and enriching the private".

"Thank you, Xiao Jiu. Thank you so much. No matter whether it can be done or not, Grandpa three will remember your kindness, and your second brother Zhou Bao will remember your kindness all his life!" The old man grabbed Zhou Yang's arm excitedly, and his voice was choking.

For the old man Zhou Quan, whose deadline is not far away, his biggest worry is the survival of his younger generation after sitting down. With his care over the years, his younger generation can live very well in the Zhou family even if they don't have Linggen qualification.

But once he dies, without the support of his family, the quality of life of his descendants will decline sharply in the future. In a generation or two, it is estimated that he will be no different from ordinary civilians, which he doesn't want to see.

Now with Zhou Yang's guarantee, even if he dies in the future, his descendants will not be too depressed for at least the next few decades.

It would be even better if there would be younger generations with spiritual roots in his later grandchildren in the next few decades.

So old man Zhou Quan is really grateful to Zhou Yang now, otherwise he wouldn't be so rude.

Zhou Yang understood the excitement in the old man's heart, but the old man couldn't help laughing and crying. He couldn't help breaking away from the old man, grabbed his hands, and whispered helplessly: "Grandpa three, you should calm down. You just want to thank us. We have to wait until we really find the ore vein. Don't be happy after working hard at that time, That would be a joke. "

The old man was so feel shy when he said this, he was embarrassed and pulled his beard. He laughed and said, "ha ha ha, Xiao nine, you said it's reasonable. It's the old man who has lost his temper."

Zhou Yang thought to himself that you, the old man, didn't just lose your manners just now, but didn't mention it again. Instead, he took the initiative to ask for advice and said, "Grandpa three, you're well-informed. I don't know what you think of looking for the possible mineral vein?"

"In my opinion, instead of looking around in the boundless sand like the two of us without a head, I'd better wait for the rabbit. When the [golden eating mouse] comes to the door again, as long as it appears again, I'll plant a mark on it with [blood spirit mark], and then we'll hurt it, let it escape back to its nest, and then hit its nest through mark sensing."

"As you know, rat monsters' nests are usually located deep underground. As long as they are injured outside, they usually hide back to their nests to recover. As long as we keep chasing the [golden rat], it can't hide its body here in the refined iron vein. It will habitually escape back to the original nest to recover. Are we afraid we won't find a place at that time?"

Old man Zhou Quan is worthy of being an old man. Once he calmed down, he immediately thought of a way for Zhou Yang to clap his hands after listening to it.

"Wonderful, ginger is still old and spicy. Grandpa three is a good way. Let's do it!" He clapped his palm and shouted with joy. The way for the old man is to agree with him with both hands.

As the old man said, the sand sea is boundless. If they only rely on the two of them, the chance of finding a vein that doesn't know where is too small.

If [golden rat] had been so easy to find the ore vein in which he was hiding, the predecessors of the Zhou family who found the qingpingshan fine iron ore must have found it long ago.

"Since you agree with my method, let's go back and prepare now. I think it's impossible to keep the beast well in a month or two. This period of time is enough for me to go back and forth to the family. At that time, I have to track the beast in the sand sea so as not to get lost. I have to take [Shatuo beast]!"

Seeing that Zhou Yang did not object to his proposed method, old man Zhou Quan immediately said the next arrangement.

[Shatuo beast] is a first-class monster domesticated by the Zhou family. It is said that this monster evolved from ordinary camels, but its physical strength and endurance are ten times higher than ordinary camels. It is the best helper for low-level practitioners to walk in the desert. It is also the main transportation force of the trade Camel team under the Zhou family.

[Shatuo beast] it also has a very powerful ability, that is, it can remember the route and return the same way as long as it travels in 30 days. This ability is a magic skill in the desert.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for the [Shatuo beast] to reproduce, and because it often travels through the desert with a load, its life is generally lower than the normal level of animal demons. Even after more than 200 years of reproduction, the Zhou family's [Shatuo beast] team has only 34 old and small ones.

These [Shatuo beasts] are the details of the Zhou family. Ordinary children of the Zhou family can't borrow them for private use at all. The old man Zhou Quan is also the only second-class animal trainer in the family because he is an elder of the Zhou family, so he can have the courage to say what he borrowed.

According to the plan, even if the old man Zhou Quan set out to return to the Yuquan Lake oasis, Zhou Yang calmed the agitated miners, re elected a new manager and ordered him to organize people to resume mining.

Since old man Zhou Quan said that the injury of [golden rat] is not better for a month or two, the mining of refined iron ore must not stop during this period.

For the miners, when they chose to be miners, they were ready to die, and the Zhou family's pension for the dead miners has always been profound.

Therefore, after Zhou Yang, the "immortal master", personally explained that the monster had been driven away, the miners quickly stabilized and resumed their work one after another.

More than a month later, old Zhou Quan, who returned to his family, came to Qingping mountain again with two [Shatuo beasts], along with Zhou Yang's family brother Zhou Bao, the grandson of old Zhou Quan.

"I'm thinking of you. Once I chase the beast away from Qingping mountain, there will be no family friars here. In case something happens, it will be very unfavorable to your future evaluation. Just now your second brother is on sabbatical, so I'll let him come and help you get off work."

Seeing Zhou Yang's puzzled face and looking at the two of them, Zhou Quan smiled and explained the reason, then gently kicked his own grandson and gave a hint in his eyes.

Zhou Bao ranks second in the "Yuan" generation. He is thirty or forty years old. His face is a little dull and his skin is dark and rough. He looks like an old farmer in the field. He looks honest and has only four levels of cultivation.

Although they are all of the "Yuan" generation, due to the large age difference and the fact that Zhou Bao followed the family camel team everywhere after he was 20, Zhou Yang actually met this family brother less than ten times from childhood, and there was no communication.

At this moment, when he saw each other like this, he immediately understood the pains of old man Zhou Quan. If the old man didn't leave a solid family background for his children while he was alive, it would be impossible for Grandpa three to live a good life in the future.

At this time, Zhou Bao got a hint from his grandfather and quickly opened his mouth and said, "Ninth brother, grandpa told me everything. If things can be done this time, you will be the great benefactor of our family. Although my second brother has low cultivation, it's still no problem to run a leg. If you have any tasks in the future, you can send a letter to the second brother."

Then he lowered his head and didn't dare to see Zhou Yang's handsome face.

Zhou Yang is so dazzling!

Even if he is almost two weeks old, even if he hasn't gone home all year round, Zhou Bao can often hear the name of the nine younger brothers from his elders and peers around him.

Practice at the age of four, practice Qi at the age of seven, practice four layers of Qi at the age of twelve, practice five layers of Qi at the age of fifteen, practice six layers of Qi at the age of seventeen, and become a first-class tool refiner at the age of twenty

Every time the elders talked about Zhou Yang, they were full of praise, and then they had to teach the younger generation around them to learn from the talented younger generation of the Zhou family.

God knows how desperate and helpless Zhou Bao is when he hears his elders say so.

He also wants to work hard, but his Linggen qualification is only inferior and his understanding is average. Even with the care of his grandfather Zhou Quan, he has barely broken through to the fourth floor of Qi practice. It is unknown whether he can reach the ninth floor of Qi practice in this life, let alone building a foundation.

In this case, he doesn't want to compete with Zhou Yang's nine younger brothers, but he doesn't have any confidence to look at the nine younger brothers.

The definition of cultivating immortals is to respect their strength. Even if the strength of monks of the same family and generation is too different, no monk will really think that his generation is big and can have an equal dialogue with his people whose cultivation is far higher than his own.

In particular, Zhou Bao has been running business with the caravan outside his family for a long time. He has already seen the cruelty of the immortal world and learned to fear and fear the strong.

Zhou Yang, who can make the patriarch speak the words of "Qilin son of the Zhou family" and make his grandfather marvel at his words, is definitely an existence that needs his own awe in Zhou Bao's eyes.
