Cultivation starts with taming beasts

"Okay, I'll pass the message on right away."

Zhao Yun was delighted, but her expression didn't change at all. She quickly got up from the ground.

Since Hao Dayou had agreed to keep the appointment, she had the confidence to get another sum from Wang Fang. This time, she must be given thirty spirit stones. No, at least fifty spirit stones. She was almost strangled to death by Hao Dayou just now.

Hao Dayou looked at Zhao Yun who was getting farther and farther away, and a mocking look flashed in his eyes.

...

At this moment, it was more than 20 miles deep into the underground mine from the platform where the Black Water Gate was stationed.

Two miners at the seventh level of Qi Refining were running all the way, as if there was some terrible monster chasing them behind them.

"What bad luck! How could the white-haired wolf spider live with the big rock snake? It's dead now. There are only a handful of people in the whole mine who can deal with this guy."

"Stop talking. Lead it to a crowded place and we'll take the opportunity to get away."

One of the slightly fat male cultivators said with an unpleasant look on his face.

It turned out that the two of them were hunting the white-haired wolf spider, but they didn't expect that there was a big rock snake living in the wolf spider's nest. The two of them were caught off guard. After killing the white-haired wolf spider, they accidentally startled the sleeping big rock snake.

The big rock snake was furious and chased the two of them frantically.

The white-haired wolf spider was born with the blood of a mortal demon. It was a low-grade first-level strength when it was born. It reached the middle-grade first-level strength after adulthood. It was a relatively easy-to-deal demon beast in the mine. With its corpse, it could be exchanged with the Black Water Gate for two low-grade spirit stones.

The rock snake has the blood of ordinary monsters, but it is the top existence among ordinary monsters. It is born with the strength of the first-class middle grade, and reaches the first-class upper grade after adulthood. Its strength far exceeds that of the white-haired wolf spider. When it grows up, its body can reach more than ten meters long and the thickness of a water tank. Its whole body is covered with rocks. It likes to devour minerals and spiritual medicines. It has a violent temper and a strong sense of territory.

It is almost immune to most earth-attribute spells and fire-attribute spells. With the home advantage of the mine, even the foundation-building monks cannot easily take it down.

It is one of the most unprovoked monsters in the entire mine. Fortunately, there are not many of them, and they like to sleep, otherwise this mine would have killed them long ago.

Because of its characteristic of devouring minerals, it is rewarded with a high price by the Black Water Gate. The monk who kills it can receive 100 low-grade spiritual stones at the Black Water Gate. This shows how difficult this monster is.

Fortunately, the two were also old miners with rich experience. They knew that Rock Snake was invincible. They pasted a magic talisman on their legs and went to the narrow place of the cave entrance, temporarily getting rid of Rock Snake's pursuit.

However, their smell had been remembered by Rock Snake. Rock Snake was also a kind of monster that remembered grudges very much. It would not let the two go easily. At this time, Rock Snake was sneaking underground to chase the two. It seemed that Rock Snake was very angry when it woke up.

"Second brother, the time of the magic talisman is over. We can't escape if we continue like this. This beast has been sneaking below. After losing the blessing of the magic talisman, its speed is faster than us. It's too late. Take out the magic weapon and fight it."

The two stopped tacitly and jumped to both sides from where they were.

A huge rock snake head emerged from the place where the two were just now, staring at the two miners who disturbed its rest.

Just when the two were desperate, Qi Yunxian, dressed in green, was attracted by the huge movement and came here from the corner of the passage.

"Do you two need help?"

Qi Yunxian's words sounded like the sound of a fairy in the ears of the two.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. This big rock snake is the tyrant of the mine and is worth hundreds of spiritual stones. You can definitely subdue it through people. Let's go first."

The two found that the person who came was just a strange cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and they were a little disappointed. He actually slipped away in front of Qi Yunxian, quickly passed by Qi Yunxian, and fled to the distance.

After Qi Yunxian put a tracking mark on the two with his divine sense, he let the two leave.

The big rock snake watched the two escape without moving. Due to the intuition of the monster, the cultivator in front of it made it feel a fatal threat.

"Onix? This is the first time I've seen this kind of puppet-like monster. Its entire body is covered in rocks. Is the real flesh and blood only on the head?

Or is it just covered with a layer of rock armor? I'm really curious!"

Qi Yunxian said with interest while slowly approaching Onix, ignoring Onix's roaring warning. After crossing the psychological limit of Onix.

Onix decisively launched an attack and rushed towards Qi Yunxian. Onix's magic attack was mediocre, but with its huge size and strong defense, close combat was its most powerful means.

Qi Yunxian had expected this and raised his right hand horizontally., nine fire snakes emerged from his palm, which was the common fire spell of Fire Snake.

Faced with several fire snakes attacking, the big rock snake was disdainful. As a monster covered with rocks, it was least afraid of fire spells. Ordinary fire spells could not break its defense at all.

But who is Qi Yunxian? An old monster who has been playing with fire for more than 400 years. His understanding of fire is incomparable to that of ordinary cultivators. The same fire spell, with the blessing of his heavenly grade technique, True Spirit Burning Flame Art, is incomparably powerful.

The nine fire snakes hit the big rock snake's vital points and flames shot up into the sky. Under the impact of the violent explosion, it lost its balance and fell to the ground.

When the smoke dissipated, the big rock snake appeared intact in the original place. It seemed that the attack just now did not cause any substantial damage to it, but just made it look a little embarrassed.

The Rock Snake shook its confused head and continued to rush towards Qi Yunxian, determined to eat this hateful monk alive.

Qi Yunxian was not panicked at this moment. He retracted his right hand and made a strange handprint. Facing the Rock Snake that was close at hand, there was no fear on his face. He looked at the Rock Snake with a playful look. In its puzzled eyes, he exclaimed softly,

"Explode!"

The Rock Snake, which was originally full of vigor, now had nine places on its body that had been attacked by the Fire Snake Technique before, and violent explosions occurred at the same time, and surging flames burst out directly from its inside.

The Rock Snake, which was so arrogant just now, now lay on the ground like a dead dog. Qi Yunxian held up the head of the Rock Snake that was sliding over due to inertia with one foot.
