The ninth-level Flame Ox's eyes burst out with brutal light, and it kept hitting the cracks in the outside world. Every impact was like a mountain collapsing and cracking rocks. A large amount of earth and rocks fell down, burying the naturally formed caves in the cracks.
However, the more the Yanniu hits, the more futile it becomes.
Because the cave was buried, it gradually became less aware of Zhou Yuan's aura deep in the gap.
So half an hour later, when more than half of the end of the rift valley collapsed and Zhou Yuan was completely buried underground, Yan Niu finally stopped.
It came to the stone wall as if nothing had happened, lay down and continued to take a nap.
far away.
Even though he was not the one being attacked by Yan Niu, everyone including Xiao Jie, Duan Long and Wan Tianpeng still felt numb after seeing it.
It was a ninth-level flaming bull, and no one present dared to scream in front of it.
Even if Duan Long and Wan Tianpeng are both masters of the eighth level of solid energy, they may not be able to come out alive if they join forces.
Zhou Yuan's life or death was uncertain, so the two hunting teams decided to observe for a while.
As for Xiao Jie on the other side, Xiao Batian once told him that he must see people alive and corpses before he dies.
Therefore, at this time, even if Zhou Yuan was buried by earth and rocks, Xiao Jie was not in a hurry to leave. He would not leave with peace of mind until he saw Zhou Yuan really dead with his own eyes.
Deep in the dark cave.
Zhou Yuan clearly felt that someone had saved him just now, and that person's aura was extremely familiar. He was probably his long-missing father Zhou Canghai.
But when he turned his head, he couldn't feel anything anymore.
It was pitch black here, nothing could be seen, only the sound of water flowing.
Wow!
Just when Zhou Yuan was at a loss what to do, a ray of light suddenly rose from not far away, like a burning flame, gradually illuminating the entire cave.
Zhou Yuan looked immediately.
There was a black shadow there, and the shadow was holding something unknown in its hand. The thing was burning with red flames, and the fire in the cave came from it.
However, Zhou Yuan had no intention to study the light, his attention was always on the black shadow.
As he adapted to the dark light, a familiar face gradually came into Zhou Yuan's eyes. It was a middle-aged man in a long gown, with a broad face and a strong aura.
There was dignity between his brows, but when he looked at Zhou Yuan, his expression was gentle.
"Father, is it really you?"
"Yuan'er, are you still alive?"
That middle-aged man was none other than Zhou Yuan's father, Zhou Canghai.
At this moment, the two of them had mixed emotions.
Looking at each other in silence, the father and son hugged each other as if they had not seen each other for a long time.
"What is this?" Zhou Yuan then looked at the ball of light in Zhou Canghai's hand.
"The Red Flame Liquid Crystal is something that accompanies the Flame Ox and is extremely valuable." Zhou Canghai said with a smile.
Of course, what Zhou Canghai was most concerned about at the moment was not this, he was more concerned about how Zhou Yuan survived.
After all, Zhou Yuan disappeared that day, and the next day news came from the Xiao family that Zhou Yuan had defiled Xiao Qingqing, betrayed Jiang Ziyue, and was executed by Xiao Batian.
Almost overnight, Zhou Yuan's reputation was ruined.
The Zhou family also became the target of public criticism because of Zhou Yuan, and was criticized and targeted by various forces.
Zhou Canghai's cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi Dispersion, and he could not withstand the pressure from all sides.
After that, the Xiao family took the lead in the Jiang family and the Bai family to suppress and sanction the Zhou family in all aspects. The Zhou family was not united, and the eldest elder Zhou Bugu started an internal strife.
This instantly turned the Zhou family into a mess.
Therefore, when Zhou Canghai saw Zhou Yuan, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he was surprised and happy.
He was very curious about how Zhou Yuan survived from Ji Lei Mountain, and he was also very curious about whether the news that came out from the Xiao family that day that his son had defiled Xiao Qingqing was true.
"Father, forgive me for failing to protect you and the Zhou family. None of this is true."
Zhou Yuan told everything that happened.
After hearing this, Zhou Canghai was suddenly shocked, and then endless anger welled up in his heart.
"I didn't expect that all of this was false. That Xiao Batian actually wanted to seize your martial arts seal, Yuan'er. And if that wasn't enough, he also wanted to destroy my Zhou family."
"Jiang Haonan, you usually treat me like a family member, but I didn't expect that you would join forces with Xiao Batian to persecute my son."
"Bai Yunchang, you, a second-rate small family, dare to take action against my Zhou family..."
Zhou Canghai's face was filled with endless anger and regret.
It was precisely because of his departure that the Zhou family lost its support, so the Bai family dared to be so bold.
Zhou Yuan quickly comforted him: "Father, don't worry, that Bai Yunchang has been executed by me, and everyone in the Bai family has been driven out of Tianluo City by me. Now my aunt's cultivation level has also broken through to the seventh level. In a short time, the Xiao family and
The Jiang family will not do anything to my Zhou family."
Zhou Canghai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Zhou Yuan is still alive and the Zhou family is still there, so he can rest assured.
"Father, can you tell me how you survived?" Zhou Yuan asked immediately. He was also curious about Zhou Canghai's experience these days.
Zhou Canghai pondered for a moment, then pulled Zhou Yuan towards the depths of the cave.
"The purpose of my coming to the Diling Mountains is to find opportunities for a breakthrough in cultivation, but because I am not familiar with the Diling Mountains, I have been trapped in this place. I can't get out, and no one dares to save me."
Zhou Canghai also told all his experiences.
Zhou Yuan was suddenly stunned.
Back then, the Xiao family and the Jiang family had suppressed the Zhou family in various ways, and Zhou Canghai's cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi Qi dissipation, so he couldn't withstand the pressure, so he came to the Diling Mountains, hoping to find a way to quickly break through his cultivation.
As long as his cultivation reaches the eighth level of Qi Solidification, even though he is still no match for Xiao Batian, he can still calm down the internal strife in the Zhou family and ensure that the Zhou family is safe and sound.
This was Zhou Canghai's original idea.
It's just that the actual situation is far more difficult than imagined.
This is the territory of the ninth-level Yanniu, and he is trapped here and cannot get out.
And outsiders couldn't save him. Just like Zhou Yuan just now, he just moved his feet a little faster and was immediately discovered by the flaming cow.
"But father, how did you survive here?"
Zhou Yuan asked again.
Although he can avoid the attack of Yanniu here, he will starve to death sooner or later because he can't get out, not to mention that Zhou Canghai has been here for more than half a month.
You know, a normal person will die if he doesn't eat or drink for seven days.
But Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Canghai's complexion. Although he had lost a lot of weight, he was obviously much better than expected.
"Don't worry, you'll find out later. I've discovered three big secrets here. I'll show you the first one first."
Zhou Canghai led the way leisurely.
Zhou Yuan followed him.
Unexpectedly, the space inside this naturally formed rift valley gap is very large.
Ordinary caves become narrower as you go deeper, but this is different, they become wider and wider as you go deeper.
After a while, the father and son came to an underground river beach.
The icy cold underground river flows slowly.
Three cow carcasses lay beside the river beach.
Because the underground temperature is very low, these cow carcasses did not rot.
"This is the shed body of the Yanniu. I rely on this meat to survive these days."
Zhou Canghai said.
Zhou Yuan was startled, this was the first secret his father discovered.
