In the valley.

When he saw Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly pounce on Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde's expression suddenly changed with shock, and he hurriedly warned Zhou Chun to be careful.

But Ruan Hongzhuang's action was too sudden, and she was less than twenty feet away from Zhou Chun. Almost as soon as his voice came out, he had already appeared next to Zhou Chun.

In this case, it can be said that it is easy to defeat a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment with the cultivation level of Zifu Stage.

That's what Ruan Hongzhuang thought in her heart.

After she came out, she found Zhou Chun approaching, and then she suddenly came up with a way to capture the hostages.

Previously in the underground mausoleum, due to the situation, she had to agree to Zhou Mingde's proposal and cooperate with him to deal with the green-faced zombies.

But with the example of Shen Borong in front of her, she didn't believe that Zhou Mingde would really share the harvest of the tomb exploration with her.

So when she got to the ground, she looked at Zhou Chun approaching, and the idea of ​​taking Zhou Chun as a hostage instantly came to her mind.

Judging from the fact that Shen Borong's proposal to let three juniors go down to help was sternly rejected by Zhou Mingde, it is clear that Zhou Mingde has an extraordinary concern for Zhou Chun, a junior.

If Zhou Chun could be captured and used as a hostage, not only would he not have to worry about Zhou Mingde burning the bridge, but he might also be able to make Zhou Mingde spit out some of his gains.

However, she thought well and had a good time to take action, but she never thought about whether she could really capture Zhou Chun.

All the good things she thought about were based on capturing Zhou Chun as soon as possible.

But in fact, she failed when she captured Zhou Chun!

At that moment, seeing Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly rushing toward him, Zhou Chun's face changed greatly and he was terrified.

But his reaction was very quick. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a golden rainbow towards Ruan Hongzhuang, who was rushing towards him. At the same time, he quickly retreated.

Until now, Zhou Chun had not spent much thought on other secret techniques, but only concentrated on practicing the secret technique of "Flowing Golden Rainbow".

After many years of diligent practice, he has cultivated this secret technique to an extremely profound level, and can completely produce it at will like the "Golden Cauldron Xuanguang".

Moreover, the power of the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" at this time was several times more powerful than when he first started.

Ruan Hongzhuang decided to capture Zhou Chun because of a flash of inspiration. At that time, she did not think that her Zifu stage cultivation would fail against a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk.

So much so that when her consciousness sensed the power of the golden rainbow and realized something was wrong, it was too late to change her tactics.

But as soon as the golden rainbow flashed, the shield Ruan Hongzhuang held up was instantly filled with cracks, and her forward movement was forcibly stopped by a strong force.

Although the pause was only for a moment, she soon took action again and fired a fiery red light at Zhou Chun.

But just this moment of pause caused her to completely lose the chance to capture Zhou Chun!

However, under Zhou Mingde's order, Vulcan Jackal immediately rushed to Zhou Chun's side and blocked her attack.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang felt extremely regretful and at the same time turned around and ran away without hesitation.

It turned out that when she took action, she had already sent a message to inform her juniors, asking them to immediately open a formation channel for herself through the formation flag and leave.

But something happened that made her miscalculate again.

The formation channel opened by her junior suddenly disappeared as soon as it appeared.

And the person who prevented her from escaping was Shen Borong's junior!

Obviously, the formation provided by Shen Borong was not as simple as he said.

In fact, the real control of the formation is still in the hands of his junior.

"Shen Shiming, what did you do?"

With no way out, Ruan Hongzhuang couldn't help but look at the junior Shen Borong with shock and anger.

At this time, facing her angry rebuke, the junior Shen Borong looked at her with the same shock and anger and said: "Junior would like to ask Senior Ruan what do you want to do?"

"Where is this junior's great-uncle? Senior Ruan, what did you mean by attacking fellow Taoist Zhou just now? Why do you want to leave alone now?"

It turned out that he had been warned by Shen Borong a long time ago. As long as Shen Borong did not personally ask him to open the formation, anyone who wanted to open the formation channel to escape must be immediately interrupted.

What's more, even without Shen Borong's advice, Ruan Hongzhuang's actions just now were enough to make him do this.

After all, the green-faced zombie who was chased out showed extraordinary strength at first glance. Ruan Hongzhuang, as a monk in the Zifu period, wanted to escape alone, so of course he did not agree.

But what he never expected was that the great-uncle Shen Borong who confessed to him was already dead!

And what he did just now also blocked Ruan Hongzhuang's way of survival!

I saw Ruan Hongzhuang angrily yelling angrily: "You idiot! You didn't stop the guy who really killed Daoist Fellow Shen, but you came to stop me instead. How could Fellow Daoist Shen have such a stupid junior like you!"

"What did you say? My uncle is dead!"

Shen Shiming's expression was shocked, and he looked at Zhou Mingde with shock on his face.

But Zhou Mingde didn't say much at this time, and directly hit him with his magic weapon.

At the same time, the green-faced zombie also pounced on Zhou Mingde, who was also the weakest recently.

This chaotic battle is also dazzling, and the changes are too fast.

But the results came out quickly.

Facing Zhou Mingde's attack, Shen Shiming had no resistance at all and was killed with one blow.

Zhou Mingde, on the other hand, relied on the protection of the third-level defensive talismans and protective weapons to withstand the attacks of the green-faced zombies.

On the other side, Zhou Chun, who was protected by the Vulcan Jackal, quickly activated the formation flag to open a formation channel after Shen Shiming died.

Then Zhou Mingde threw Shen Shiming's body towards the green-faced zombie, but he quickly rushed towards the formation channel.

The green-faced zombie itself has low intelligence and acts entirely on instinct.

When Shen Shiming's bloody corpse was thrown in front of it, it, which was severely injured, immediately hugged the corpse and drank the blood.

This also allowed Zhou Mingde to successfully break out of the formation with Zhou Chun.

Once outside, Zhou Mingde immediately asked Zhou Chun to leave first, and then he and Vulcan Jackal went to chase Ruan Hongzhuang, who also escaped from the formation.

At this time, Zhou Chun was also filled with shock.

He didn't know what happened in the underground mausoleum and why Zhou Mingde killed Shen Borong.

However, out of trust and obedience to Zhou Mingde, he immediately activated the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique to escape.

After Zhou Chun's flaw was eliminated, Zhou Mingde pursued and beat Ruan Hongzhuang without any scruples.

At this time, there were no traces of mortals in Yang Kingdom, and neither of them had to worry about whether the green-faced zombies would kill other living beings when they came to the ground.

They don't have the heart to care about this either.

In Zhou Mingde's view, only by killing Ruan Hongzhuang and silencing him can he completely monopolize the harvest and avoid leaks of the news.

In order to survive, Ruan Hongzhuang was naturally not willing to sit back and wait to die.

After such a chase, Zhou Mingde was ultimately unable to save Ruan Hongzhuang's life, and she successfully escaped the pursuit.

Although Zhou Mingde failed to suppress his silence, he could only accept the reality even though he was unwilling to do so.

Next, he did not stay in Yang Kingdom for long. After taking a short rest, he quickly returned to Dayun Kingdom.

Not long after Zhou Chun returned to Fangshi, Zhou Mingde also returned to Fangshi safely.

"Sir, what happened in the underground tomb? Why are you having an internal conflict with Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang?"

In Fang City, Zhou Chun waited for Zhou Mingde's return. While he was relieved, he couldn't help but immediately asked his doubts.

In fact, Zhou Chun was not unprepared for the internal strife among the three Zifu period monks.

After all, countless examples in the past have proven that in the face of truly precious treasures, it is difficult for monks to be willing to share the harvest with others.

But the situation at that time made Zhou Chun full of doubts.

Because he witnessed with his own eyes the scene of Zhou Mingde and Ruan Hongzhuang rushing out of the underground mausoleum. At that time, it seemed that the two were still cooperating.

Facing his series of questions, Zhou Mingde waved his hands with a tired look on his face and said: "I know you are in a hurry, but now is not the time to talk about this. I will talk to you in detail after I recover.

Here’s the inside story!”

After saying that, I walked alone into the secret room in the yard to meditate and recover.

He meditated for a whole day.

After all his mana was restored and his mental and physical condition was relieved and restored, Zhou Mingde took out the storage bag and spirit animal bag obtained from the green-faced zombie to check the harvest.

With anticipation in his eyes, he first opened the spirit beast bag and put his consciousness into it.

Because the owner has long since died, whether it is a spirit animal bag or a storage bag, you can open it at will.

The spirit beast bag in Zhou Mingde's hand is undoubtedly the most high-end thing he has ever seen with his own eyes.

The interior space of this spirit beast bag is very large and divided. Visual inspection can hold five spirit pets or five different kinds of monster insects at the same time.

What's rare is that the material of the spirit beast bag itself is also very tough, and even the attacks of foundation-building monks will be difficult to damage it.

A spirit animal bag like this that can be divided into internal spaces is much more difficult to make than an ordinary spirit animal bag, and is difficult to buy on the market.

If this spirit beast bag were to be sold, I'm afraid it would be more expensive than an ordinary third-level high-grade magic weapon.

In this way, he carefully inspected the spirit beast bag and found no monsters or insects in it. Zhou Mingde first put it aside and then opened another storage bag.

The storage bag of a golden elixir monk is naturally extraordinary.
