Chapter 1068: The Idea of Hitting the Spiny Dragon
Chapter 1068
As soon as Ling Xiao returned to Zhang's house, he immediately heard Chai Guan say that someone was looking for him.
Ling Xiao was a little puzzled, he just killed someone, did someone know about it.
But when he saw the person coming, he found that it was not from the Gao family, but the old man Tian who had been digging with him outside Shiling.
It can be seen that he has recovered his free body, but his strength has long been crippled by the people of Qingyue Palace, and his appearance is still as decadent as before, like a full-fledged refugee.
If it wasn't for Iron Wolf's people who sent him here, he might have been kicked out by Zhang's people long ago.
"Congratulations, Brother Tian!" Ling Xiao said while pulling Old Man Tian's hand.
But old man Tian avoided it, knelt down towards Ling Xiao and said, "Old man, thank you, Elder Ling, for saving him!".
While speaking, Old Man Tian couldn't help but shed tears.
He has been mining in the mine for more than a hundred years, and he has been tortured to such an extent that he is so excited now that he is suddenly relieved.
Although he didn't have many good days to live, but he still hoped to go back to see his daughter for the last time, and his wish came true!
Ling Xiao quickly helped him up and said, "Brother Tian, why is this so? You and I met once, and I said that I can help as much as I can. I didn't do much!".
While talking, Ling Xiao welcomed him into the room he was in.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xiao chatted with Old Man Tian about the daily life.
Only then did Ling Xiao know that Shiling over there is temporarily unable to mine ore, because the ground thorn dragon often haunts and has swallowed many people.
Although Iron Wolf, Liu Jinxi and others gathered some people to encircle and suppress them, they gained very little.
After all, the ground thorn dragon can fly to the sky and escape from the ground at any time, so it is really difficult to capture and kill.
However, from what Old Man Tian said, Iron Wolf and the others didn't intend to capture and kill the Ground Spiny Dragon, but more likely wanted to capture it alive and make it surrender as a protective spirit beast.
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but move his mind.
The ground thorn dragon is a side branch of the dragon clan. Although it is not a real peerless dragon, it has a chance to become a real dragon. If it can be captured, it is indeed a good thing to make it surrender.
Of course, Ling Xiao did this for the sake of Xian Yuye, after all, he is of the earth attribute, which fits perfectly with the big thorn dragon, but I don't know if he has a protective spirit beast.
If not, it might be worth considering doing so.
"By the way, Brother Tian, here is a pill that can restore the dantian, which may help you a little bit." Ling Xiao handed a pill to Old Man Tian and said.
Old man Tian trembled slightly, his old eyes looked excitedly at the pill that Ling Xiao handed over, and his old eyes burst into tears again.
"Elder Ling, this... How can I repay this old man? Thanks to Elder Ling, I will sell my old life to Elder Ling in the future. Please also ask Elder Ling to accept me as a servant!" Old man Tian said gratefully.
He is already running out of time, if he can recover his strength, his lifespan will naturally increase. Ling Xiao is undoubtedly his reborn parent, so he simply regards Ling Xiao as the main one, and it would be better to have a goal of surviving .
"Brother Tian, you don't have to be like this. Didn't you say you want to go back to see your daughter? After you go back, you can just enjoy the family happiness!" Ling laughed.
Old man Tian sighed and said, "I don't know if she is still in her hometown now. No matter what, my life belongs to Elder Ling. I will be your ox and horse in the future. Please don't dislike me!".
Ling Xiao knew that Old Man Tian was determined, so he couldn't refuse. Although Old Man Tian had no strength, an old man in the family was like a treasure, and it would be good to have him help him with some daily affairs.
"Okay, Brother Tian will stay by my side and take care of my affairs for me in the future!" Ling Xiao agreed.
Old man Tian said happily, "Thank you, Elder Ling, from now on, this old slave will definitely serve the young master wholeheartedly!".
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xiao asked some things about Old Man Tian's house.
Old man Tian said that he has only one daughter under his knees, but there are other clansmen and brothers, and his family's place is also under the management of Shi Tiancheng, but it is in a small town, which is still a few days away from here.
Ling Xiao thought for a while, "I'll go back and have a look with you when I have free time!".
"Thank you, Elder Ling!" Old Man Tian thanked him.
After accepting old man Tian, Ling Xiao talked to Xian Yuye again and asked him if he had a spirit beast for protection.
Xian Yuye shook his head and said, "We barbarians seldom use spirit beasts, because their strength may not be as strong as ours, so it's worth noting!".
After hearing this, Ling Xiao also took it for granted. With Xian Yuye's strong physique, he was as strong as a bull.
"If that's the case, forget it. I thought I could find a first-class holy beast for Brother Xianyu. It seems that I was doing too much!" Ling Xiao smiled wryly.
"Oh, what kind of spirit beast can make Brother Ling look up to?" Xian Yuye asked in surprise.
"The pinnacle dragon of the ninth rank!" Ling Xiao responded.
Xian Yuye's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Where did Brother Ling find it?".
"Uh... Isn't Brother Xianyu not interested?" Ling Xiao hesitated.
Xian Yuyehan smiled and said, "The ground thorn dragon is infinitely powerful, and its body is stronger than ours. It is the spirit beast that my barbarians prefer to protect themselves."
Ling Xiao was a little depressed. Didn't he just say that he didn't need spirit beasts? Why did he change his mind so quickly!
Xian Yuye is not a fool, a high-level sacred beast like the Dithorn Dragon, everyone would like it, not to mention that it matches his attributes, it is a rare and rare protective spirit beast!
"If that's the case, then let's go and have a look together, lest someone else might get there first," Ling Xiao replied.
Xian Yuye said eagerly, "It's not too late, let's go!".
"There's no rush for this matter, I still have to explain my whereabouts to others!" Ling Xiao replied.
As the elder of the Zhang family's outer sect, although he has a little power, he can't come and go freely, so before going to Shiling, he still has to report to the Zhang family.
By doing this, Ling Xiao can help Xian Yuye find the ground thorn dragon as a protective spirit beast, and secondly, he can temporarily get rid of Zhang Lianhua's entanglement, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
When Zhang Lianhua learned that Ling Xiao was going to travel, Meimou couldn't express her resentment.
She wanted to eat Ling Xiao twice, but she kept putting it off again and again, which made her feel itchy.
However, she seemed to really have some affection for Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao actually asked him if he needed help before leaving.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a while, and decided to call Chai Guan, lest others think he was going to run away.
Not long after leaving the city, Ling Xiao asked Chai Guan to find a place to have fun first, and then call him to go back together when he came back.
Chai Guan was exactly what he wanted, he had the holy elixir but he didn't have time to make a breakthrough.
He thought that Ling Xiao brought him out on purpose to let him break through, and he was so grateful to Ling Xiao that he couldn't be more grateful.
Ling Xiao didn't bother to explain to him, and immediately rushed to the mine Shiling.
When he came to the mine stone ridge again, Ling Xiao felt a burst of emotion in his heart, this was his first arrival in the Heavenly Territory.
When he came to the place where the ore was dug before, he saw that the place was already in a mess, many stone ridges had been turned into flat land, and many stone chips were scattered all over the place.
Iron Wolf and others who were originally stationed here are no longer here.
Ling Xiao sensed it quietly, and immediately felt the sound of fierce fighting in another direction.
Ling Xiao hid his breath, lowered his body and rushed over there.
When he approached, he found that Iron Wolf and others were gathering a lot of people to besiege the thorn dragon.
It's just that there are not only thorn dragons here, but also a lot of stone beasts. Their heads are like rocks, and their appearance is extremely strange. The skin is as thick as a boulder, and ordinary weapons can't pierce their bodies at all.
These stone beasts should be obeying the order of the ground thorn dragon, and they are fighting against the iron wolf, Liu Jinxi and others.
It's just that although there are a lot of these stone beasts, their strength is also weaker. The most powerful ones are only two ninth-level stone beasts, and the rest are only eighth-level strength.
There is no way to do this, after all, their bloodlines are not high-level, and two of them can advance to the ninth level, I am afraid it is because of the help of the thorn dragon.
After a fierce battle, many stone ridges were destroyed, and at the same time, every stone beast was beheaded, and the iron wolf also lost a lot, mainly because the thorn dragon's damage and killing power was too great.
However, the iron wolf actually had an attacking semi-divine weapon in his hand, which caused the ground thorn dragon to suffer a lot, and several deep and long gashs were opened in that iron-hard body.
In the end, the ground thorn dragon led those stone beasts back to the ground again, so angry that Iron Wolf and others couldn't stand it anymore.
If they couldn't completely lure the Spiny Dragon to high altitudes to fight, it would be really not easy to assassinate it.
"I didn't expect the Thorn Dragon to have so many disciples and grandchildren. It seems that it is not easy to take it down!" Ling Xiao said secretly in his heart.
Ling Xiao hid his breath and left here temporarily.
He didn't want Iron Wolf and others to know that he wanted to take food from the tiger's mouth.
"I'm pissed off, this thorn dragon is stubborn, if I knew it would be cut off with a single sword, it would be more realistic to auction off its corpse!" Iron Wolf said very angrily.
"That's right, now that this young brother has been lost, and he can't continue mining, this is losing his wife and losing his army!" Liu Jinxi sighed.
"This damned thorn dragon, as long as we kill it, these stone beasts won't be able to do anything good. If this continues, we will miss everything this year, and I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it!" Iron Wolf looked a little displeased. nice.
They all belong to the outside staff of Qingyue Palace, and they are all assigned to supervise the mining of ore here. They must hand over a sufficient amount every year in exchange for more cultivation resources.
If they can't get anything done, they could lose the job at any time.
"Why don't we find another mine vein? This is obviously the territory of the thorn dragon. We can't find its lair. It's really not easy to destroy it, let alone capture it alive!" Liu Jinxi suggested.
Iron Wolf hesitated for a moment and said, "That's the only way. If it reappears, I'll kill it immediately. If not, I have to ask the city lord for help."
"That's the only way!" Liu Jinxi said, and he secretly paid in his heart, "If Ling Xiao was here, maybe it would be much easier to kill this Thorn Dragon!".
He has seen Ling Xiao's terrible death.
