However, the Zhao family has never forgotten the glory of their ancestors. What's more, in the past hundred years, the situation of the Zhao family has been like the setting sun, getting worse day by day.
In the past thirty years, no late-stage foundation-building monks have been born to take charge. They have always relied on mid-stage foundation-building monks to barely support their appearance.
If it weren't for the fact that the family has been passing on some means to suppress the situation as a deterrent over time, I'm afraid the territory under its control would have been further eroded.
On the surface, there is no direct relationship between the development and growth of a family and the number of ordinary mortals it controls, but in reality it is a real fallacy.
If any family wants to develop and grow, it needs the addition of new blood. Although the family can produce some within the family, testing among mortals every few years is also essential.
Therefore, after personally participating in this beast tide, Zhao Mingzhan took the risk to sneak into the Beast Control Mountain Range so deeply.
According to the secrets passed down orally among the monks in the family foundation building period in the past generations, all the monks of the Zhao family regard this place as an opportunity for the family to rise again.
They didn't dare to expect third-level elixirs suitable for the golden elixir stage, but there must be some elixirs that could assist monks in the middle and later stages of foundation building to improve their cultivation.
There must also be some elixirs that can be used to refine Foundation-Building Pills. As long as the quantity is large enough, you can exchange for some Foundation-Building Pills through various channels to increase the number of monks in the family's Foundation-Building Period.
"This big tree is the entrance to the secret place in the family records. You only need to open a gap in it, and you and I can enter and search it." A strange light appeared in Zhao Mingzhan's eyes.
As the only middle-stage foundation-building monk in the family, as long as he gains something in the secret land, he must be the biggest beneficiary.
"Uncle, this is the home of the Seven-Star Spotted Bee. Once you touch the cloak, it will definitely lose its effect. The fluctuations in mana attract the attention of these poisonous bees. Just you and me are no match for these guys." Zhao Xiangyang was also moved, but
There are also some concerns.
The seven-star spotted wasp is a famous poisonous bee with a violent temper and a strong sense of territory. Once an outsider breaks in, it will definitely fight to the death.
Compared with ordinary bee colonies that only have one queen bee controlling the entire bee colony, the distribution structure of this poisonous bee has a clearer division of labor. Basically every thousand or so poisonous bees will be led by a second-level low-grade bee demon.
Under this, the combat effectiveness is obviously superior.
A bee colony that has thrived for more than a hundred years can have anywhere from 10,000 to tens of thousands of bees, and the fighting power it unleashes is incomparable.
Not to mention a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, a monk in the early stage of foundation building, even if the number increases, he can only escape when faced with the attack of these poisonous bees.
If you want to successfully deal with these poisonous bees, there are only two ways. First, prepare some powerful one-time explosive spiritual objects; second, use spiritual insects that also win with numbers to entangle them.
"Humph, cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. If the family wants to rise in adversity, how can we not take risks? You and I join forces to attack with all our strength. As long as we enter the secret place before the Seven-Star Spotted Bee reacts, our safety will be at stake.
"Yu" Zhao Mingzhan is obviously unwilling to give up easily.
"Uncle, our family is already in a difficult situation under the suppression of the Sun and Yan families. If something happens to me here, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhao Xiangyang's worries obviously have some truth.
"The power of these poisonous bees cannot be underestimated, but the family once had Golden Core monks in charge. Naturally, these backgrounds are not comparable to those of some bumpkin families that suddenly appeared." After saying this, he took out a painting with a small door.
Talisman.
On the surface, this talisman seal is quite shabby, and it has obviously been collected for a long time. However, the spiritual power emanating from the talisman is the most powerful indication of the quality of this talisman seal.
"Gate to Space? Didn't the family consume the last talisman a hundred years ago?" Zhao Xiangyang had a look of ecstasy on his face.
The Gate of Space is an extremely rare space-based talisman. It is a genuine second-level high-grade talisman. Once activated, a portal can be opened directly from the void and appear hundreds of miles away. It is an excellent means of escaping.
, and will not leave any consequences.
The number of spatial attribute monks and inherited techniques is extremely rare in the world of cultivation, and if one appears every now and then, he must be picked up by various major sects.
Not to mention families in the Foundation Establishment stage, even if it is a family with Golden Core stage monks, the number of such rare talismans in the sect is not large, and they are basically kept in secret vaults.
"This one is the last one in the true sense, and it is also the last legacy of our ancestors. Once the Seven-Star Spotted Bee is alarmed, you can use this talisman to escape as soon as possible," Zhao Mingzhan warned seriously.
Naturally, he was well aware of the severe situation facing the Zhao family. This time he ventured into the secret place in order to put the family back on the road to glory.
But as the leader of the Zhao family, he would naturally not be desperate. This space gate talisman was just the backup plan, but it was not for his own use.
"Uncle, you are the family's Dinghai Shenzhen. You should use this talisman at critical moments." Zhao Xiangyang showed a trace of hesitation.
When facing a life crisis, this Space Gate Talisman is a trump card to save life. No monk is willing to give up, but he can only make the best choice for the sake of his family.
"If you can't gain anything in the secret land this time, my cultivation has reached the top and there is no way to advance. You are the hope of the family." Although Zhao Mingzhan was reluctant to give up, the firmness in his words was indispensable.
.
But little did the two of them know that precisely because of this brief hesitation and concession, they not only lost the last hope of opening the gap in the secret land, but also fell into a real crisis.
The Seven-Star Spotted Bee senses the aura of outsiders very clearly. Even with a cloak that can conceal the aura as an aid, its body shape is still inevitably leaked.
"Buzzing buzzing", fist-sized and ferocious-looking seven-star spotted bees kept gathering in front of the hive. But in half a cup of tea, a black cloud had formed, and more than ten thousand poisonous bees were waving their wings continuously.
Fanning.
The poisonous bees had gathered together, and under the leadership of a second-level mid-grade seven-star spotted bee, they turned into a stream of light and quickly headed towards the positions of Zhao Mingzhan and Zhao Xiangyang.
"Boom, boom!" At this time, the two of them released their most familiar spiritual skills and launched a fierce bombardment at the entrance to the secret place.
As this aura dissipated, more and more Seven-Star Spotted Wasps gathered around. Once they relied on their numerical advantage, they could easily completely swamp the two foundation-building monks from the Zhao family.
"Uncle, the seven-star spotted bee swarm has appeared," Zhao Xiangyang screamed.
"If God doesn't help me, I will use the door of space to evacuate."
