Beast-controlling fairy clan

Now that he no longer had to pay attention to Zhou Chun's situation, Zhou Mingde, with the cooperation of his spiritual pet Vulcan Jackal, was indeed not afraid of the giant insect composed of swarms of insects.

Although the aura emitted by the giant insect is comparable to a third-level high-grade monster, its strength is obviously not comparable to that of a real third-order high-grade monster.

After Zhou Mingde's master and servant fought with it for almost half a quarter of an hour, the momentum of the giant insect began to decline.

After all, the strength of those ordinary monster insects is too low to maintain such high-intensity fighting for a long time.

At this moment, Zhou Chun, who was watching the battle, suddenly felt something in his mind and couldn't help but look up in a certain direction.

But in the southwest sky, several monks' escaping lights were quickly rushing towards the battlefield.

After a while, four figures, three men and one woman, appeared outside the battlefield.

Among these four people, there are two monks in the Zifu stage, and the other two are also in the late stage of foundation building.

After the four people stopped outside the battlefield, they took a moment to observe the situation. Among them, a middle-aged man with a cultivation level in the Zifu period said loudly: "Fellow Taoist in front of you, do you need my help?"

After hearing this, Zhou Mingde immediately frowned, and the pace of the battle with the giant insect could not help but slow down a bit.

He took the time to look at the four people outside the battlefield and found that the other party happened to be a combination of a middle-stage Zifu monk and an early-stage Zifu monk. Their overall strength should be on par with him.

Although this is a special period for all human monks to unite to fight against the insect plague, it stands to reason that no monk would dare to take the risk to kill people and seize treasures under such circumstances. But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are just afraid of the worst. Who knows if it will happen? The kind of person who has lost his head!

So after thinking for a while, Zhou Mingde responded in a deep voice: "Since all fellow Taoists are willing to help, Zhou will naturally be grateful."

Upon hearing this answer, the middle-aged man who spoke out immediately laughed and said: "Haha, fellow Taoist Zhou is so happy, then Shen will come to help fellow Taoist."

After saying that, he joined the battle with another woman in a red dress who was in the early stages of Zifu's cultivation.

With the addition of these two new forces, the giant insects transformed from the insect swarm were quickly dispersed by three people and one jackal. The third-order insect king inside was finally bitten by the Vulcan jackal and its head was twisted off.

After killing the remaining demonic insects in this way, the two groups came together to communicate with each other.

Through communication, we found out that the middle-aged man’s name was Shen Borong and the woman in the red skirt was named Ruan Hongzhuang. They were both from Qi State to the west of Yang State.

This time, the two of them brought their descendants to the territory of Yang Kingdom, and they also had an idea with the Zhou family to see if they could find something to restrain the insect swarm.

And they were attracted here because they saw the giant insect here from a distance.

At this time, after a brief exchange of information between the two parties, Shen Borong took the initiative to pick up the topic and said: "We have found many insect nests before, but those insect nests were either completely abandoned, or only the old, weak and sick were left. Damn, there are still a large number of monster insect nests like here, but this is the first time I encountered them, could there be some mystery here?"

coming!

Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun both raised their brows, knowing that the most troublesome thing was coming.

There are not that many fools in the world. What they can think of, others can naturally think of.

But now that Shen Borong has made this matter clear, they can no longer pretend to be stupid.

Zhou Mingde quickly said: "We also guessed this, but whether it is the case or not, we have to find out later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Hongzhuang on the side said: "Then let's start exploring now, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

She said "we" as if she knew the Zhou family very well.

Zhou Mingde couldn't help turning his head to look at her, and didn't say anything more. He just nodded lightly, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Immediately, the three parties separated and dug into the mountains to find underground mysteries.

Not long after this, they almost found the reason.

It turns out that there are a lot of crops like kudzu and cassava growing underground in this mountain range. Although the fire burned the vine trunks on the ground, most of the edible parts underground were fine.

The insect swarms can still maintain their daily needs by eating these underground potato crops.

That's why the insect swarms here didn't migrate away.

After figuring this out, the three parties were undoubtedly quite disappointed.

"I really didn't expect that the truth would be so simple!"

Next to an dug-out mountainous area, Shen Borong looked at the potato crops buried in the ground with a very ugly expression.

They had a lot of guesses in their minds, but they just didn't think about this simplest situation.

At this time, after discovering that the truth turned out to be so simple, how could they not be disappointed.

"Now that the truth is clear, Zhou and I will not stay here any longer. Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Ruan, you two should take care of each other!"

Just when Shen Bowen and Ruan Hongzhuang were looking at the potato crops with disappointed faces, Zhou Mingde suddenly expressed his intention to leave.

Hearing his words, Shen and Ruan looked at the Zhou family, then nodded and said some polite words, and watched them leave.

Watching the Zhou family go away like this, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang, who were unwilling to give up, searched the mountains several times, and finally left this place unwillingly.

On the other side, although the Zhou family was quite disappointed, at least they were not completely without gains.

Although the intervention of Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang reduced their harvest, the corpse of the third-order demonic insect finally fell into their hands.

Compared with the third-order monsters, the third-order monsters do not have inner elixir condensed in their bodies. This is the biggest reason why the strength of the third-order monsters is generally inferior to the third-order monsters and the monks of the Purple Mansion Stage.

But this does not mean that the corpse of the third-order monster insect is worthless.

In fact, the corpse of the third-level monster insect is a treasure in itself.

The shell, claws, teeth, and even insect eyes of demonic insects are all very good materials for refining weapons.

And those collected corpses of second-order demonic insects can also be taken to Fangshi and sold into spirit coins.

Because the reinforcements from various countries began to exterminate the demonic insects in Rongguo, they also offered relevant rewards to their disciples. The corpse of a second-level demonic insect could allow those disciples to gain a lot of good deeds of their own.

Since the corpse of the demon insect has this effect, there will naturally be people willing to buy the corpse at a slightly lower price to improve their performance.

But just when the two were about to continue looking for something to restrain the demonic insects in Yang Kingdom, Zhou Chun seemed to have remembered something and suddenly shouted: "Something is wrong, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong? Masazumi, what did you think of?"

Zhou Mingde looked startled, and couldn't help but let the Vulcan Jackal stop, and looked at Zhou Chun in confusion.

Zhou Chun didn't hide anything at all, and quickly said in a deep voice: "Supreme Elder, think about it, even if those potatoes buried underground can be used as food for monster insects, for second-order monster insects and third-order monster insects, light How can we support their growth by eating these ordinary foods without any spiritual power?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde also stared, and immediately said: "You mean, there are other things buried underground?"

"I can't say for sure now, but this unreasonable thing must have another inner meaning!"

Zhou Chun answered Zhou Mingde's question in a low voice, and his meaning was expressed.

"Okay, then let's go back and look for it more carefully!"

Zhou Mingde did not hesitate and made a decision quickly.

So the two of them returned to the mountain range again.

This time, the two of them not only searched the ground by themselves, but also released their spiritual pets to search together.

After searching for a long time, I actually made an unexpected discovery.

The one who found something unusual was the golden-armored rock turtle.

It was an earth-moving monster in itself, but later mutated into metal, and had a sense of the earth that ordinary people couldn't.

This time when it was searching alone in the mountains, it vaguely sensed a strong earth spiritual power contained deep in the earth, and then informed Zhou Chun.

After Zhou Chun learned about the anomalies in the underground from the golden-armored rock turtle, he immediately asked Zhou Mingde to follow the golden-armored rock turtle's induction and start digging.

The movement was too loud and was discovered by other monks passing by. This time they also arranged a formation they carried with them to cover up the movement of the excavation.

After digging about a hundred feet deep in this way, the two finally discovered the anomaly underground through their spiritual consciousness.

It turns out that the rich earthly spiritual power that the golden-armored rock turtle sensed was actually emitted by a kind of spiritual jade.

Deep underground in this mountain range, there is actually a vein of [Earth Yuan Jade] buried!

[Earth Crystal Jade] is a good thing.

This kind of spiritual jade contains pure earth element spiritual power, and has an excellent ability to accommodate earth element spiritual power, and is of great use in the fields of weapon refining and formations.

Generally, this object is one of the necessary materials when building a mountain-protecting formation.

Moreover, Zhou Mingde also knew that some golden elixir stage monks would also use secret methods to extract the earth element spiritual power contained in [Earth Element Crystal Jade] to condense the magic weapon, which can enhance the power of the magic weapon!

Therefore, in the world of immortality, this kind of spiritual object is the least likely to be sold, and the price is very expensive.

Obviously, those monster insects discovered that there were [Earth Crystal Jade] veins here and there was sufficient food, so they refused to migrate and chose to stay.

If they hadn't been discovered and eliminated by Zhou Chun and the others, and given enough time to those demonic insects, relying on the abundant food here and the [Earth Crystal Jade] mine, this insect swarm might have been able to multiply into the tens of millions. exist!

After all, when winter turns to spring and spring comes, the land of Yang Kingdom that has been burned by fire will surely rejuvenate and regain its vitality.

By then the swarm will have more food to eat.

"[Earth Crystal Jade] is indeed a good thing. Even if this mine is just a tiny vein, it is worth no less than a million spiritual coins!"

"But this is Yang Country. Our Zhou family is thousands of miles away from here. How can we mine this vein?"

At this moment, Zhou Mingde, who was happy, quickly looked at Zhou Chun and told him the problem.

There is no doubt about the value of the veins, but it is not that difficult to mine the veins.

In the world of immortality, many casual cultivators have discovered mineral veins in the past, but because they were alone, they were unable to occupy the mineral veins at all.

Those who have the strength and courage may be able to sell the news about the mineral veins at a good price.

Those who don't have the strength or courage can only dig up some ore secretly and sell it, and they have to be careful when selling.

Although the Zhou family is also a force, as their family is far away in Jingguo, it is obviously impossible for them to send people to occupy this [Earth Yuan Jade] vein and mine it.

If they can't occupy this place and mine the veins, then this discovery obviously doesn't mean much to them.

They can't just imitate those casual cultivators and mine here secretly!

Therefore, after Zhou Chun heard Zhou Mingde's words, his excitement suddenly dissipated and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

To be fair, he definitely doesn't want to give up this [Earth Crystal Jade] mine.

This is definitely the most precious mineral vein that the Zhou family has discovered so far, and it is even more high-end than the black crystal mine shared by the four families.

Moreover, only they know about this mineral vein, and it can be said that there are no forces near the mineral vein.

But the reality has to be faced. The small Zhou family really cannot reach out to such a mine thousands of miles away.

Not to mention the Zhou family, even if it were a big force like Qinglian Temple, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stretch their hands this long!

At this time, seeing Zhou Chun not speaking for a long time, Zhou Mingde tried to suggest: "How about finding a force to sell this news? With my cultivation strength, as long as I am not too greedy, I should be able to do it." This news will sell for 30,000 to 50,000 spiritual coins!"

Selling the news about the mine is undoubtedly a bad idea and is something only casual cultivators would do.

But compared to sitting on a treasure land that cannot be mined, selling it in exchange for spiritual coins is undoubtedly a solution.

Thirty to fifty thousand spiritual coins are nothing compared to the value of the [Earth Crystal Jade] mine. There will definitely be forces interested in this.

As for Zhou Mingde's cultivation strength in the Zifu period, it is relatively safe to do this kind of business, and it is not easy to be killed and silenced.

But how could Zhou Chun be willing to use this last resort!

He was not in a hurry to answer Zhou Mingde's words, and was still thinking of a better way to deal with it.

After a long period of time passed like this, Zhou Chun suddenly relaxed, as if he had thought of some good idea.

He looked up at Zhou Mingde and said with a slight smile: "This junior has thought of a better way to deal with it than selling the mineral veins. Elder Taishang, you might as well guess what it is!"

"You kid, you're even cheating on me!"

Zhou Mingde's eyes widened and he couldn't help but urge: "Tell me quickly, what good idea did you come up with?"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Junior thinks that although my Zhou family cannot send people to mine this [Earth Yuan Jade] vein, it does not mean that my Zhou family cannot use this [Earth Yuan Jade] mine. A vein of minerals!”

"What do you mean? Since it can't be mined, how can it be used?"

Zhou Mingde frowned, not understanding what Zhou Chun meant.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he immediately spread his hands and said: "Supreme Elder, think about it, we can let someone who has the ability to mine this [Earth Crystal Jade] vein come over to mine, and then we can take a cut of it!"

"Then who has this ability?"

Zhou Mingde asked, too lazy to think about it.

"Of course it's senior Lin Hongyu. With her cultivation in the later period of Zifu, after the insect plague is eliminated, she can come to the Yang Kingdom to occupy a spiritual land and open up a stronghold. But after the Yang Kingdom is robbed, it will be difficult to do what she did before. Attract powerful powers from all sides to enclose territory here!"

"When senior Lin Hongyu starts mining here, most of the output will be at her disposal. As the information provider, our Zhou family will give her 20% of the harvest. It's not too much!"
