……
As soon as he finished speaking, the red-scaled horned python appeared in front of everyone.
Good guy, it’s four to five feet long, and its thickest part is probably as thick as a wooden bucket. The huge snake head has a ferocious skeleton, with a long red horn on its head.
The snake scales all over the body are red, like burning flames. The temperature around it was extremely high, and the weeds on the ground were withered and black, forming a winding snake path.
Level 3 ferocious beast!
For the Wang family in the period of decline, it was a very difficult enemy, and if it didn’t work well, someone would be killed.
However, as the Wang family continues to grow stronger, the third-level ferocious beasts no longer pose much of a threat to the Wang family. Wang’s annual autumn and winter hunting also continuously expands the areas outside the territory.
As for the young people of the Wang family, as long as they have no mission, they will follow their elders to participate in autumn and winter hunting every year, and they are no strangers to third-level ferocious beasts.
And among their daily spiritual food, there is also some third-level ferocious beast meat.
Thus, although they will pay attention to the third-level ferocious beasts, they will not be as afraid of natural enemies.
“Shoot an arrow.” Wang Shouming ordered at the same time, he picked up his strong bow and shot a sharp arrow. The arrow attached to the fire element’s profound energy emitted red light and pulled up a long flame tail.
The rest of the Wang family’s children and generals fired volleys.
“Clang, clank, clank!” The arrow tore through the air, making a harsh whistle.
The Changning Wang family has always spared no effort in cultivating family disciples. Even Wang Shouzhe, the clan leader, can master archery, how can the other juniors dare to slack off?
The children of the family are different from the disciples of the academy. They pay more attention to cooperation and team fighting. It’s not just about fighting alone, it’s about being fierce and brave. In team combat, especially hunting, patrolling, and defense, the advantages of bows and arrows are extremely obvious.
The power of Xuanwu monks is far beyond comparison with ordinary people. When they reach the fifth or sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm, the strong bows they use must reach the level of five-stone bows. After the Xuanqi is attached to the arrows, they can even penetrate smaller rocks.
Wang Shouming, Wang Zongyao, Wang Hu and other three people even used eight-stone strong bows with thousand-year-old iron wood cores as the bow body and third-level ferocious beast tendons as the strings. The power can easily penetrate iron armor.
This is why the “shotgun” developed by Wang Shouzhe can only be equipped to those non-Xuanwu soldiers. It’s actually because the slightly higher-level Xuanwu monks use strong bows that are far more powerful than “shotguns.”
Thus, even if a third-level ferocious beast is so thick-skinned and protected by mysterious energy, it is by no means invulnerable!
After eating a wave of arrows.
The red-scaled horned python screamed angrily as it was in pain.
“Bang!”
Its snake tail hit the shield wall formed by the three generals hard. The huge impact made the three generals stumble back a few steps, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths.
The shield, which was lined with ironwood and covered with the skin of a third-level ferocious beast, was also slightly deformed by the smash.
However, the generals still firmly assumed a defensive posture, with no fear in their eyes, only determination.
They are the first batch of generals trained by the Wang family since childhood. The candidates are all selected from the common people, tenant farmers and descendants of the Wang family in Ping’an Town.
They are generally in their twenties, and their cultivation strength has reached the fifth or sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. It can be seen that the Wang family has given them excellent treatment, and the resources and training they have enjoyed since childhood have exceeded most of the direct descendants of the ninth-grade family.
Because this “clearing the fog” mission carries uncertain risks, it is deeply influenced by the conservative style of the patriarch. Wang Shouming’s preparations for this trip were also very thorough, and he spent a lot of merit points to hire a whole team of generals.
Except for the strongest Wang Hu, the rest are all at the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm! This shows how strong the overall strength is.
In just the first wave of confrontation, the third-order red-scaled horned python suffered a lot.
But it’s not over yet.
Wang Shouming and others immediately took out some seeds and threw them around the red-scale horned python. Those seeds are “Witch No. 29” in the Witch series developed by Wang Shouzhe.
The witch series has been changing from generation to generation, which also means that Wang Shouzhe has never stopped the process of research and development and evolution. The young people in the family also love the Witch series very much, and they always spend a lot of their family merit points to redeem them.
Its strongest function is control! Once the enemy is controlled, he is like a fish on the chopping board, free to be slaughtered.
The seeds of the Witch Series already contain part of Wang Shouzhe’s profound energy. It only needs to be stimulated, and it will grow crazily, like a witch’s long hair, binding and entangling the enemy.
Although the red-scaled horned python is a “noble” third-level ferocious beast, it is not known for its strength. Its mobility is hindered by the “witch’s long hair” that is constantly entangled.
The Wang family kept retreating, and were guarded by three generals holding shields. The overall formation is very simple, but quite effective. This is a simple formation that the Wang family gradually figured out after long-term hunting in autumn and winter outside the territory.
Although the ferocious beasts are powerful, the intelligence of third-order and fourth-order ferocious beasts is just that, just a comparison. Only after reaching the fifth level, the ferocious beast’s spiritual intelligence will undergo qualitative changes. After reaching the seventh level, it will be able to speak human words and have extraordinary wisdom.
“Hiss~”
The red-scale horned python is angry and anxious, and spits out a ball of red poisonous flames. This is its trump card. When fighting with other ferocious beasts in the wild, it can often burn the opponent’s skin and flesh to pieces, and the poisonous fire attacks the heart.
Unfortunately, it encountered humans.
The Wang clan and their generals are all familiar with common ferocious beasts. Under the skinned shield wall, all the poisonous flames were blocked. At the same time, an even more violent rain of arrows rained down on it.
“Puff puff puff!”
Arrows possessed by mysterious energy pierced into the body of the red-scaled horned python.
After several times.
The red-scaled horned python’s injuries continued to worsen. It instinctively felt fear, turned the snake’s head and ran away. It was very fast, and in just a few breaths, it ran into the rugged rocks and escaped.
“Chase, don’t let it get away.” Wang Shouming’s tone was filled with excitement. If he followed his elders to hunt ferocious beasts, the final family contribution points he would get would be very low.
But for all the juniors to share the value of a third-level ferocious beast worth thousands, it is already a big gain.
Therefore, everyone, including the generals, was very excited.
Tracking all the way, the terrain is getting hotter and more rugged, the ground is gradually turning red, and there are fewer and fewer traces to be found.
But no one gave up, even if they searched for several days, they still had to get it out. The red-scaled horned python couldn’t have disappeared for no reason. It probably escaped back to its lair, and its lair must be nearby.
After everyone searched for several hours.
“Aunt Nine, look at this.”
Suddenly, Wang Lilian found a trace of blood mixed with mucus in a stone crevice, and quickly called Wang Luoqing to come over and take a look.
The red-scaled horned python was seriously injured. Although it instinctively covered up some traces along the way, it was still impossible to completely disappear.
“It is indeed the blood stain of the third-order red-scaled horned python.”
After Wang Luoqing confirmed it, she quickly called Wang Shouming, Wang Zongyao, and other generals over.
The blood stain was found in the crevice of the stone. The position of the crevice is quite special. It seems to go deep to the side and below, but the top is blocked by a rock that is inserted diagonally. The red-scaled horned python can get in, but it is a bit difficult for humans to get in.
Of course, it’s not that you can’t drill, you just have to climb.
“Good guy~ No wonder I couldn’t find any trace of it before. I found a good place to hide my feelings. Who can find this?” Wang Shouming sighed with emotion, then looked at Wang Luoqing, “Sister , use your earth puppet to go in and explore~”
“Yeah.”
Wang Luoqing nodded, took out the “Earth Spirit Pearl” she had picked up, and once again condensed a mini version of the earth puppet, driving the earth puppet into the cracks in the stone.
Seeing her delay in speaking, Wang Zongming couldn’t hold back and couldn’t help but ask: “Sister, what’s going on next?”
“Brother, there is a cave down here.” Wang Luoqing came back to her senses with a bit of surprise in her expression, “Not far from here is the underground flame cave. The traces of the third-order red-scaled horned python follow the lava channel. All the way down.”
“Lava cave?”
After hearing this, everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up.
It was previously inferred that this was a geological fire terrain, but it was not easy to actually detect the location of the geological fire.
You must know that the terrain of the remaining mountains of Liuping Mountain is quite complex. There are various poisonous ponds and ice caves, and two underground fires have been discovered. Although the land of earth and fire is far less valuable than the fire spiritual veins.
However, if the location of the earth fire is appropriate, it can also have some special uses. For example, some higher-level alchemy and weapon refining are best refined through earth fire, and the temperatures that can be reached are higher than ordinary alchemy furnaces.
And there may also be some natural treasures in the undeveloped earth and fire environment. If something good is found, it means a lot of family contribution.
Although everyone is hot-tempered.
However, the unique cautious style of the Wang family has been carried forward. Everyone suppressed their excitement. After prying open the cracks, they used small earth puppets as the vanguard to carefully explore the path ahead.
And they constantly adjusted the team’s formation according to the terrain of the molten cave, preferring to be very slow rather than taking any risks. Of course, they are not born like this, but are scolded by their elders time and time again.
It took a long time.
After everyone explored for a hundred feet, the surroundings became increasingly hot, and scorching lava could be faintly seen in the cracks of some rocks. Fortunately, we are all Xuanwu monks, and their heat resistance is unparalleled, so we can still withstand such scorching heat.
Suddenly, after prying open a narrow stone crevice, the surroundings suddenly became clear.
They entered an open area.
Several “magma streams” converged towards the center, forming a “magma pond”, with the molten lava rolling slightly and making a mooing sound.
The red-scaled horned python that had been looking for a long time was already curled up in the corner, its color almost blending in with the surrounding environment. When it saw the crowd, it was frightened and angry. It raised its head and hissed, warning everyone to retreat.
It stands to reason that this red-scaled horned python worth thousands of gold would attract everyone’s attention.
But Wang Shouming and the others just glanced at the red-scaled horned python and turned their attention elsewhere. There is no other reason, just because the fire aura is constantly surging beside the “magma pond”.

Some precious fire elixirs are growing like weeds, making people dizzy and breathing heavy.
There are only a few big words floating in everyone’s head: “Get rich!”
Not only is there earth fire here, there is also a natural fire spiritual vein, and many elixirs grow in the fire spiritual vein.
“Brother, this open molten cave space and the ‘lava pond’ don’t seem to be natural things.” Wang Luoqing, who is relatively attentive, looked around and said, “Look, everyone, there are obvious traces of excavation on the cliff here. . Those lava streams were also drawn by digging.”
“According to the structural distribution of spiritual veins, the lava pond is obviously a spiritual cave.”
Everyone took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. Although I don’t know if the traces of excavation have been blurred because of the age, but if you look closely, you can still find artificial traces.
Before the Wang family opened up a corner of peace, it was an outside environment. Who is it that will open up a fire spiritual vein here and gather it into a spiritual cave?
“Could it be that we can still open up an ancient ruins?” Wang Zongyao said with excitement, “That means we will really make a fortune.”
This land can be traced back to the Shenwu Dynasty.
No one knows what was before the Shenwu Dynasty, but they all know that it has been a hundred thousand years since the demise of the Shenwu Dynasty. In the past hundred thousand years, countless things have happened.
Daqian Kingdom was only founded seven or eight thousand years ago and experienced two generations of emperors.
Although human civilization is lacking, the fire has never been extinguished.
“Let’s not talk about it for now.” Wang Shouming also suppressed his excitement and said, “Take care of the red-scale horned python first, and then everyone will search slowly. I have been coveting its fire-type snake gallbladder for a long time.”
What he practiced was the “Red Dragon True Art”. The essence of the fire element in the red-scaled horned python was very helpful to his practice. I originally thought it was just a second-level peak red-scale horned python, but now it has become a third-level one, and that’s the best thing.
Then.
Everyone in the Wang family carefully surrounded and suppressed the injured red-scaled horned python. The process was far from exciting, and their tactics were extremely conservative. But precisely because of being so conservative, the red-scaled horned python, which had become more ferocious after being injured, was worn down bit by bit to death.
Among them, only one of them had his arm burned by the red poisonous flames, suffering burns and fire poison. Everyone had brought ointments and healing elixirs to treat fire poison before coming, so there wasn’t much of a problem.
Other than that, it was a great victory.
Subsequently, under the command of Wang Shouming, the wounded were healed when they should be healed, and the trophies were slaughtered when the trophies should be slaughtered. The rest of the people, while carefully searching for the fire elixir, began to search the fire cave bit by bit, not missing every suspicious inch.
This is the difference between humans and ferocious beasts. The red-scaled horned python occupies this place, just using it as a comfortable and comfortable lair with abundant fire-type spiritual weapons. Human beings, on the other hand, will explore suspicious places bit by bit.
“There is a mechanism here.” Wang Zongyao discovered something that seemed to be a mechanism.
But no one is stupid enough to activate the agency directly. What if there is a crisis after the agency is activated?
Everyone first transported the loot out of the melting cave bit by bit, recruited the Panjiao pack sheep and the generals, and set up camp outside. With this red-scaled horned python, there is no need to worry about food shortages, all that is needed is to find water sources.
At the same time, two family generals were sent all the way back to report the matter to the family.
In this way, another seven or eight days have passed.
A mature and steady man with a handsome face and a handsome face arrived first. All the Wang family members came forward to greet him and saluted: “I’ve seen Fifth Brother/Fifth Uncle.”
This man is none other than Wang Shouyong, the fifth eldest son of the Wang family. He has grown from a young boy to a distinguished young man to a mature and steady man who is now thirty-seven or eighty years old. It can be said that he has witnessed He has experienced the Wang family’s decline from poverty to its present glory.
With the support of the family’s large resources, Wang Shouyong had entered the Lingtai realm a few years ago. Although the bloodline is not a genius, it has reached the middle level of the second level.
If you put it in the academy, it will be enough to compete for the ranks of core disciples.
This is the true heritage of the Wang family now, and it is not just the dazzling and powerful geniuses and great geniuses on the surface.
But every core clan member is working hard and contributing to the development of the family. If Wang Luoqiu and others are the pioneers and arrowheads of the family, Wang Shouyong and others are the foundation and cornerstone of the family.
“You guys did a good job.” Although Wang Shouyong looked majestic, he also showed a hint of appreciation, “When encountering suspected ancient ruins, you did not act rashly, but stayed where you were and waited for family support. After the fourth brother came back, I will report it truthfully and give you additional rewards.”
