Chapter 86 The Precious Seal Achieves Merit, Treasure Retrieved from the Demon's Nest [Please Subscribe]

"Bai Bai, well done!"

Inside the mine tunnel, Zhou Chun, who had forcibly stopped his cultivation and stood up, looked at the golden-armored pangolin and inwardly praised the silver lightning python Bai Bai.

The serpentine forked lightning bolt just now was a lightning spell released by the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai.

Of all the spells, the Thunder spell is undoubtedly the most powerful.

Although the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai is only a mid-grade first-tier demon beast, it still managed to interrupt the Golden Armored Pangolin's escape with the domineering and powerful Thunder Movement spell, buying Zhou Chun crucial time.

At this moment, Zhou Chun praised the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai for its great contribution in his heart, and without hesitation, he slapped his storage bag and summoned the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] to slash at the Golden Armored Pangolin.

Faced with the menacing silver-black circular magical artifact, the golden-armored pangolin showed no sign of panic.

Its scales tightened slightly, golden light surged across its body, and it lashed out with its tail at the incoming circular magic weapon.

The tail and the circular magical artifact collided in mid-air, producing a loud, metallic clang and sparks flying everywhere.

The ever-victorious [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] has finally met its match.

It couldn't even tear a single scale from the golden-armored pangolin!

After the golden-armored pangolin had its circular magical artifact flung away during the struggle, its claws immediately began to glow with yellow light, and it quickly began to dig into the ground beneath its feet.

Its claws seem to possess some kind of magical power; no matter how hard the soil or stone is, it will quickly soften and be cut into pieces and pulled out after contact with it.

In just a few breaths, right in front of Zhou Chun, it dug a three-foot-deep hole in the hard mine tunnel floor and crawled half of its body inside.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun was both shocked and furious. He hurriedly activated his magic weapon and slashed fiercely at the half of its body that was still exposed.

However, the Golden Armored Pangolin seemed to have eyes on its tail, and every time the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] slashed, it accurately knocked the target away.

As he watched as less and less of its body was exposed, Zhou Chun, filled with shock and anger, finally put away the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] and summoned another magical artifact that he had not used in actual combat since obtaining it.

"big!"

With a shout from Zhou Chun, a small, earthen-yellow seal in mid-air began to spin rapidly, expanding and growing larger until it reached the size of a water vat before stopping.

"fall!"

Zhou Chun shouted again, and the giant seal, as big as a water vat, slammed down, smashing down on the golden-armored pangolin that was about to disappear completely into the mine tunnel.

Rumble!

A deafening roar, like an earthquake, rose within the mine shaft, causing the entire branch shaft to sway and even resulting in small-scale collapses in some areas.

Amidst the earth-shaking commotion, a piercing screech clearly reached Zhou Chun's ears.

As the tremors gradually subsided, Zhou Chun swept his divine sense across the ground and saw a large, sunken pit that had appeared on the surface of the mine tunnel.

At the bottom of the pit, the golden-armored pangolin, which had been smashed and was coughing up blood, with countless bones broken, was now swaying as it tried to get up and continue its escape.

But how could Zhou Chun give it that chance?

With a thought, Zhou Chun wanted to activate the [Small Thousand Mountain Seal] again to deliver a fatal blow to the golden-armored pangolin and crush the beast to death.

But then he heard the rustling sound of small pieces of mud and gravel rolling down, and suddenly realized that he absolutely could not continue doing that.

That attack just now caused the earth to shake violently. If it were to happen again, not only would the golden-armored pangolin not be able to withstand it, but the mine tunnel would also collapse.

So he hurriedly changed to a different magical artifact and took out the [Golden Lock Ring] that he had obtained but never used.

With a flick of his wrist, the pale golden ring-shaped magic weapon in his hand shot out, heading straight for the golden-armored pangolin.

At this moment, the golden-armored pangolin was still in a daze and had no time to react. It was easily trapped by the circular magic artifact.

Having succeeded in his attack, Zhou Chun immediately activated the circular magic artifact to shrink and tighten its grip on the head of the golden-armored pangolin, attempting to strangle it to death.

However, the Golden Armored Pangolin Beast is, after all, a very powerful low-level demon beast, and it is known for its defense.

When its life is threatened, the instinct for survival allows it to quickly activate its innate magical abilities.

A blinding golden light shone from the golden-armored pangolin, and the circular magic artifact, which had shrunk to less than the size of a human head, was quickly expanded several times by the golden light. Finally, it couldn't hold on any longer and was forcibly thrown away with a "bang".

Then the golden-armored pangolin spat out the gourd magic weapon it had been holding in its mouth, its blood-red eyes glaring at Zhou Chun, and launched a fierce counterattack.

With a swift movement, a beam of golden light shot out, hurtling towards Zhou Chun like a spear.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly summoned his black iron shield magic weapon to protect himself.

However, the golden spear was far more powerful than anyone could have imagined, shattering the black iron shield into several pieces.

This scene made Zhou Chun's pupils shrink, and he hurriedly reached for the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the rock turtle.

Originally, Zhou Chun didn't want the Rock Tortoise to participate in the battle due to the narrow terrain inside the mine tunnels.

Because in such places, the already inflexible rock tortoises find it even more difficult to move around.

Moreover, its spells are quite destructive to the terrain, and if you're not careful during a battle, you can easily collapse the mine tunnels.

However, the Golden Armored Pangolin was behaving too fiercely, so Zhou Chun had no choice but to bring it out as a human shield to block the fire.

Sure enough, when the rock tortoise appeared, the golden-armored pangolin quickly sensed the threat and its attention was soon drawn to it.

The two are vastly different in size, but the Golden Armored Pangolin is actually stronger in terms of cultivation.

Zhou Chun estimated that for the rock turtle to reach the level of the golden-armored pangolin, it would have to eat that piece of Tianhuang stone.

Now he understands why the golden-armored pangolin appeared here.

Most of them were attracted by the rich golden energy accumulated inside the gourd, wanting to devour the large amount of rich golden energy inside to strengthen their own bloodline and try to advance to the intermediate level of demon beast.

Among low-level monsters, the Golden Armored Pangolin's bloodline is not bad, and its advanced form, the Golden Armored Earth-Earth Beast, is also a very powerful mid-level monster.

Fortunately, the Golden Armored Pangolin has been injured by the [Little Thousand Mountain Seal], and even though the Rock Turtle's cultivation is a bit weak, it is not afraid of the opponent at all thanks to its thick defense.

Zhou Chun hid behind the rock tortoise, his mind racing, and immediately gave it a command.

The rock tortoise opened its mouth and spat out a ball of yellow light, which flew toward the golden-armored pangolin and instantly transformed into an earth-yellow light shield that enveloped it.

This is the "Earth Prison Technique," an earth-based magic that the Rock Turtle awakened and mastered after advancing to a first-tier superior-grade demon beast. It can create a prison by enclosing the earth, trapping enemies.

The golden-armored pangolin, trapped in its cage, was not going to sit idly by and wait for its death. It immediately began to roar and swing its sharp claws to attack the light barrier.

Under its sharp claws, the yellowish-brown light shield quickly developed cracks, indicating that it wouldn't be able to trap it for long.

But at this moment, Zhou Chun seized the opportunity to use the secret technique of "Five Elements Spirit Armor" to give himself an extra layer of protection.

As the golden-armored pangolin tore through the "Earth Prison Technique" and regained its freedom, the silver-black circular magic weapon whistled and struck it, sending it flying and crashing into the mine tunnel wall.

Unfortunately, the beast's defense was so strong that even such an attack did not cause any obvious injury; it only aggravated internal injuries and caused the beast to vomit a small amount of blood.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun knew that it was impossible to end the battle as soon as possible, and he could only prepare for a long battle.

Now we can only drag it out, gradually worsening the internal injuries within the Golden Armored Pangolin until it dies.

Next, Zhou Chun and his tortoise engaged in a fierce battle with the golden-armored pangolin in the underground mine tunnels.

After fighting for almost half an hour, Zhou Chun even took a "Rejuvenation Pill" to restore his mana before finally wearing down the golden-armored pangolin.

The dead golden-armored pangolin had no obvious wounds on its body, indicating that it died from massive internal bleeding.

The direct cause of his death was the initial bombardment by the [Little Thousand Mountain Seal].

"A single Rejuvenation Pill is worth eighty spirit coins, and the half-gourd of golden energy I lost is worth at least thirty spirit coins. The black iron shield magic weapon I lost would cost at least sixty or seventy spirit coins to buy back. I don't know if I made a profit or a loss this time!"

Inside the mine tunnel, Zhou Chun, panting heavily from exhaustion, looked at the dead golden-armored pangolin corpse on the ground and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

In fact, by the middle of the battle, the Golden Armored Pangolin had given up on the idea of ​​escaping with the gourd artifact, and he could have let it escape.

That way, at least you won't need to take the Rejuvenation Pill.

But in that situation, Zhou Chun could kill the Golden Armored Pangolin with just a little more effort, so why would he think about so many other things?

Now he only hopes that the corpse of the golden-armored pangolin will be worth the price of admission.

Because the corpse of the golden-armored pangolin could be rolled up, Zhou Chun was able to put the whole thing into his storage bag after rolling it up, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After collecting the body, he looked at the remaining half of the golden gourd and felt both heartache and a shake of his head.

He could have returned to his family immediately after this, but it seems he'll have to stay here for a while longer.

"By the way, the Golden Armored Pangolin seems to have a habit of collecting various spirit metal ores. Could there be refined gold ore in its lair?"

Just as he was about to leave the mine tunnel, Zhou Chun looked at the hole through which the golden-armored pangolin had broken through the wall and suddenly his expression changed as he remembered something he had almost overlooked.

After staring at the hole, which was less than two feet wide, for a while, he summoned the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai over.

"Bye-bye, it's up to you now."

At Zhou Chun's command, the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai immediately burrowed into the hole dug by the Golden Armored Pangolin and began searching for its lair by following its remaining scent.

Zhou Chun didn't know how far the Golden Armored Pangolin's lair was from here, and now he could only wait.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he finally saw the Silver Lightning Python reappear.

Through his conversation with Bai Bai, Zhou Chun confirmed that the Golden Armored Pangolin's lair did indeed contain refined gold ore.

However, obtaining those refined gold ores became a problem.

The hole dug by the golden-armored pangolin was too small; Zhou Chun could barely squeeze through it.

The problem is that this stretch of road is four or five miles long, and it is winding and extremely difficult to climb.

If he goes in, and someone else happens to come along, he'll be trapped.

Zhou Chunke couldn't take that kind of risk.

Fortunately, he didn't take that risk!

Because the commotion caused by the previous attack of the [Little Thousand Mountain Seal] was so great, many independent cultivators who were mining in the nearby mines felt it.

Then everyone assumed that someone had found a treasure, and they started fighting over how to divide it.

So many people started searching everywhere for the location of the incident, trying to find the person who dug up the treasure.

Just as Zhou Chun was about to leave the mine, he happened to encounter three rogue cultivators who had entered his mine together.

Both sides were slightly startled after colliding head-on not far from the mine exit.

Upon realizing the other party's cultivation level, the three rogue cultivators' expressions changed drastically. One of them, a lean, white-haired old man who was leading the group, immediately reached out and pulled his two companions, bowing repeatedly to him and saying, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive us. We were unaware that this place was already occupied. We will leave now!"

As he said this, his two companions behind him had already reached for their storage pouches at their waists, clearly ready to make a move.

The lives of rogue cultivators struggling to survive in these abandoned mines are far from easy; they inevitably encounter numerous battles with others.

Zhou Chun's cultivation level is now significantly higher than theirs by a large margin, so they cannot afford to be careless.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I am not the owner of this place."

Zhou Chun shook her head slightly, as if she hadn't noticed the two's little actions, and simply replied in a calm tone.

Then he narrowed his eyes, and before the old man could speak again, he asked, "You three, you must have come because of the commotion earlier, right?"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately shook his head and denied it, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. We just want to go down to the bottom of the cave to mine."

"Yeah, we just want to go mining."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Behind him, two young men, one tall and one short, echoed his sentiments.

Zhou Chun found their seemingly pre-arranged answer somewhat amusing.

But he didn't expose them, simply waving his hand and saying, "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. Now there's a profitable business opportunity, are you interested?"

"What kind of business?"

This time, it was the short, chubby young man who got the interface.

He spoke almost reflexively, and as soon as he finished, he noticed that both the old man and the tall young man were turning to look at him with unfriendly eyes. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing again.

Upon seeing this, his expression changed, and he immediately raised his hand and slapped himself hard across the face.

Then he quickly looked at Zhou Chun and said with a sheepish smile, "Hehe, fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. I was just being sarcastic. If you want to do business, you should go to the market to find someone. The three of us can only do manual labor like mining; we can't do any business!"

"It seems you've misunderstood me. Let me finish speaking before you decide whether or not to do this business!"

Zhou Chun shook his head slightly, and without waiting for the three of them to listen or not, he started talking about hiring that old man to search for treasure in the Golden Armored Pangolin's lair.

It turned out that his original intention in leaving the mine was to find a small boy in a town outside the mountains to help him retrieve the treasure.

But after seeing the old man's lean physique, he realized that the other man was more suitable for his needs.

After all, cultivators' understanding of spiritual objects far surpasses that of ordinary people, so having them do this task ensures that no treasures are lost.

After hearing Zhou Chun's explanation of the deal, the three old men felt even more awe towards him.

The three of them made a living in this abandoned mine and had heard about the power of the Golden Armored Pangolin Beast.

Now that they learned that Zhou Chun had actually killed such a powerful demon beast, how could the three of them not be filled with fear and awe?

After hearing his words, the old man looked at him with a bitter expression and sighed softly, "Since Fellow Daoist Han has even told us such a secret, I suppose we have no choice but to agree!"

After saying this, his face fell, and he bowed to Zhou Chun, saying, "This old man dares not ask for any reward from Fellow Daoist Han, I only hope that Fellow Daoist Han will spare our lives!"

The second update is here!
