Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 44: Digging and opening the mountain, unexpected discovery
Rumble!
The roar of falling trees rang out one after another in the middle of the night.

In the sky, Zhou Chun was chasing after the beast on a bamboo-leaf-shaped flying magical weapon while controlling the two moon blades formed from the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] to attack the Purple Flame Marten in turns.

This purple flame marten was truly extremely agile, jumping up and down in the mountains and forests. Even when it was locked by Zhou Chun's spiritual sense, it was still able to repeatedly avoid the moon blade's attacks.

But because it needed to avoid Zhou Chun's attack, its speed inevitably slowed down.

So Zhou Zhengyong's red-tailed monkey gradually caught up and joined the battle.

In nature, there is always something that can defeat something else.

Although the red-tailed monkey is not a very powerful monster among the first-grade top-quality monsters, it is just right for dealing with agile monsters like the purple flame marten in the mountains and forests.

When it joined the battle, the Purple Flame Marten was first forced to drop the corpse of the Fire Rat in its mouth, and then because it was busy dodging the Moon Blade's attack, it was hit on the body by its claw, leaving a bloody claw mark.

After being injured, the Purple Flame Marten didn't dare to continue fighting with Zhou Chun and the others, and only wanted to escape.

It flew through the pine forest with a man and a monkey, leaving Zhou Zhengyong, who was following on foot, far behind, and even his shadow could not be seen.

After crossing several hills along the way, the Purple Flame Marten, with several wounds on its body, suddenly went into a cave and disappeared directly from Zhou Chun's spiritual sense range.

"Is it hiding in a cave? It looks like this is probably its nest!"

Zhou Chun looked at the entrance of the cave located at the bottom of the rocky mountain wall in front of him, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

The entrance to the cave in front of him was not big enough, only enough for a child of seven or eight years old to get in. There was no way an adult like him could get in.

Of course, he knew through his spiritual sense that the internal space was gradually getting larger, and there were even cave halls deep inside that were large enough for a person to stand.

The problem is that with the thick rock walls and mountains blocking the way, it is simply not possible in a short period of time to expand the volume of the cave to go deeper.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Zhou Chun didn't believe that the purple flame marten's nest would have only a hole like this one.

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the purple flame marten from escaping from other holes!

Immediately, Zhou Chun couldn't wait for Zhou Zhengyong to arrive, so he used the smoke method to fill the cave with smoke, and then flew to the sky to see where the smoke was coming out.

After taking a look, he quickly found three places where smoke was coming out.

So he asked the red-tailed monkey to go to one location, while he and the rock turtle blocked the other two locations respectively, to prevent the purple flame marten from escaping from these three places before Zhou Zhengyong arrived.

However, the purple flame marten was more patient than Zhou Chun had imagined. It did not come out of a cave until Zhou Zhengyong arrived at the mountain panting.

"Let's use poisonous smoke. I have dried black-spotted stinkweed in my storage bag. Let's find some poisonous raw leaves and light them up and throw them in. I don't believe that the beast can really hold back and not come out!"

After Zhou Zhengyong learned about the situation from Zhou Chun, he quickly put forward his own solution.

The Zhou family's monkey garden has been rebuilt. Zhou Zhengyong usually takes care of the monkey garden and some other monsters, so he has various things prepared to punish and tame the monsters.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was not surprised to find poisonous weeds such as black-spotted stinkweed in his storage bag.

At this time Zhou Zhengyong took action himself, quickly gathered all the materials, lit them, and threw them into the cave.

But what made him and Zhou Chun look at each other in surprise was that even after all the black-spotted stinkweed was burned, there was no trace of the purple flame marten.

"Could he have fainted from the suffocation?"

Zhou Zhengyong expressed his guess with a suspicious look on his face.

Zhou Chun thought the same thing in his heart, but he said, "Let's open the mountain. There are almost two days left. If we only dig one road, we still have a chance."

"Okay, let's open the mountain!"

Zhou Zhengyong gritted his teeth, knowing that this was the only feasible solution at the moment.

So the two of them immediately brought a lot of rubble to block the other cave entrances, and then put down large rocks outside the cave to press down the cave entrance.

Then the rock turtle and red-tailed monkey took turns digging one of the holes.

When it comes to digging holes, the rock turtle is actually an expert. Its claws are extremely sharp and hard, and can break even hard rocks with just a tap.

Unfortunately, due to its huge size, it could only help at the beginning, and later the red-tailed monkey had to rely on digging with its claws.

For the sake of Zhou Zhengyong's wife-to-be, the poor red-tailed monkey was completely reduced to a construction site monkey, forced to constantly use his two paws to dig the soil and break rocks.

Fortunately, after it was promoted to a first-class upper-grade demon beast, it awakened and mastered a "flame claw" spell, which can bless its claws with flames to increase its destructive power. Otherwise, even if its demon beast physique is much stronger than that of humans, I am afraid that its claws will be useless after digging for a while.

This continued until the red-tailed monkey's magic power and physical strength were drained and it could no longer dig. Zhou Zhengyong then put it into the spirit beast bag, cast the "Giant Strength" spell on himself, and started digging with the tools in hand.

After Zhou Zhengyong had used up most of his magic power and physical strength, Zhou Chun took over and continued digging.

After taking turns digging for a day, the red-tailed monkeys rested and recovered some strength and magic power, and were released again to take over the digging work.

The two men and the monkey took turns digging, and after about a day and a half, they finally dug out a passage more than thirty feet deep.

When we reached the depth of the cave, which was more than thirty feet deep, the width of the cave was wide enough for a person to walk with his back bent.

After the two men discussed it, Zhou Chun went down the cave to look for the purple flame marten, while Zhou Zhengyong kept watch outside to prevent any accidents.

Inside the cave, Zhou Chun was seen holding a piece of "sunstone" for lighting in one hand and the black iron shield in the other. He bent over and walked slowly towards the depths step by step.

The "Sunstone" in his hand is a kind of strange stone that is unique to this world. It can absorb sunlight and store it inside, and then release bright light in a dark environment. Therefore, it is often used by cultivators as a lighting tool in special environments.

After walking slowly step by step into the depths of the cave, Zhou Chun's spiritual sense, which was always on alert, immediately discovered the purple flame marten pouncing towards him.

He quickly took out the black iron shield in his hand to block in front of him, and then, worriedly, he made hand gestures and cast a spell, using the "Five Elements Spiritual Armor Technique" to put on a golden, green and blue spiritual armor.

boom!
A ball of purple-red flame spewed out from the mouth of the Purple Flame Marten and swept towards Zhou Chun.

The black iron shield magic weapon only blocked most of the flames, and the rest of the flames took advantage of the gap to enter and lick Zhou Chun who was behind.

In an instant, Zhou Chun was like a firefighter walking against the fire, his entire body engulfed by flames.

Fortunately, this scene only looked terrifying. In fact, the spiritual armor on his body that protected his entire body could easily keep out the flames and high temperatures.

Zhou Chun was not the type to take a beating without fighting back. Seeing that the defensive power of the spiritual armor was even stronger than he expected, he immediately patted the storage bag on his waist and took out the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel].

The space inside the cave was too small, making it inconvenient for Zhou Chun to move, but it also restricted the Purple Flame Marten's movements.

Under Zhou Chun's control, the two moon blades attacked from both sides and soon amputated the right hind leg of the Purple Flame Marten.

The Purple Flame Marten, which was so badly injured, seemed to know that it was doomed to die, so it became more ferocious. It suddenly pounced towards Zhou Chun and spit out a fireball as big as a human head at Zhou Chun.

Bang! !

A violent explosion sounded from deep within the cave, startling Zhou Zhengyong outside so much that he straightened his body and looked anxiously at the entrance where Zhou Chun had entered, running around like an ant on a hot pan.

"Is he okay? Thirteenth brother is so powerful that even a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining cannot defeat him..."

He muttered to himself, then gritted his teeth and said with a firm face, "No, even if I can't get a wife, Thirteenth Brother must not get into trouble!"

Then he followed her into the cave without caring about anything.

When Zhou Zhengyong went deeper into the cave along the entrance and found Zhou Chun, he discovered that not only was Zhou Chun fine, but he was using a magic tool to dig a hole.

Seeing this, he relaxed at first, then looked at Zhou Chun with curiosity and asked, "Thirteenth brother, are you okay? What are you doing?"

"Brother Yong, why did you come down?"

Zhou Chun replied subconsciously, and then quickly guessed the reason. His heart immediately warmed up, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's just right that you came down. Come and see what I found unexpectedly here."

After saying that, he squatted down, picked out a few black and red stones from the pile of rubble and soil on the ground and handed them to Zhou Zhengyong.

"This is……"

Zhou Zhengyong looked at the ore in Zhou Chun's hand with surprise, reached out to take it and examined it carefully.

After a moment, he said in a low voice with some uncertainty: "This stone seems to look a bit like red iron ore."

"Yeah, Brother Yong, you also think it looks like red iron ore, right?"

There was a gleam in Zhou Chun's eyes, and then he said something that made Zhou Zhengyong's heart beat faster.

"I suspect there is a vein of red iron ore here!"

Zhou Chun and Zhou Yang, the two people have different starting points and different situations, which naturally makes them treat things differently. I wrote two different protagonists, I know it very well in my heart, and I must be clear. They can be similar in many aspects, but they must show differences in some places. For example, although Zhou Yang is also reborn through time travel, he is reborn from the womb, which is actually no different from the natives. He has grown up subtly for more than ten years from childhood to adulthood. His parents are both immortal cultivators, so he must speak and do things exactly like the natives. Zhou Chun is a soul-transmigrating person. He has only been in the immortal cultivation world for a few years and has not personally experienced the education of this world, so his initial actions and ideas will definitely have traces of modern people.

Some book lovers may say that some modern words in the book feel out of place, but they don’t know that this is exactly what makes Zhou Chun special now. Otherwise, would you think I would write these modern words in Desert?
