C1073 He Wanted to Kill the Earth Dragon
Ling Xiao was puzzled. He had just killed someone. Could it be that someone already knew about it?
However, when he saw the person who came, he realized that it wasn't someone from the Gao family, but Old Man Tian, who had been mining with him outside the stone ridge.
Seeing that he had regained his freedom, However, his strength had long been crippled by the people of the Green Moon Palace. He still looked as dispirited as before, as if he was a refugee.
If it wasn't for Tia Lang's men who sent him here, he would have been chased out by the people of the Zhang family a long time ago.
"Congratulations, Big Brother Tian!" Ling Xiao pulled Old Man Tian's hand.
However, Old Man Tian avoided it. He knelt down in front of Ling Xiao and said, "Old man, thank you for saving me, Elder Ling!
At the same time, Old Man Tian couldn't help but shed tears.
He had been mining in the mine for more than a hundred years. He had long been tortured until he could not look human anymore. Now that he had suddenly been freed, he was extremely excited.
Although he did not have many good days to live, he still hoped to be able to go back and see his daughter one last time. To fulfill his wish!
Ling Xiao hurriedly helped him up and said, "Old Brother Tian, why are you doing this? We met once, and we said we would do our best to help if we could. I didn't do much!
Ling Xiao walked him into his room.
After that, Ling Xiao chatted with Old Man Tian about family matters.
Only then did Ling Xiao know that there was no longer any mining in the Stone Ridge, because the Earth Thorn Dragon frequently appeared and devoured many people.
Although Tia Lang, Liu Jinxi, and the others had gathered some people to surround and kill them, the harvest was very little.
That Earth Thorn Dragon was definitely able to fly and escape at any time, it was really not easy to capture and kill it.
However, from Old Man Tian's words, Tia Lang and the others didn't want to capture and kill the Earth Thorn Dragon. It was more like they wanted to capture it alive and make it submit to them as a Protective Spirit Beast.
When he said this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but think.
The Earth Thorn Dragon was a branch of the Dragon Clan. Although it wasn't a true Peerless True Dragon, it had a chance of becoming a true dragon. If he could capture it, it would be a good thing to make it submit.
Of course, Ling Xiao did this for Xianyu Ye's sake. He must be the one with the earth attribute. He and the Earth Thorn Dragon were both big and well-matched. It was just that he did not know if he had medicinal Protective Spirit Beasts or not.
If he did not, then it was worth considering doing so.
"By the way, Elder Brother Tian, there is a medicinal Pill here that can restore your Dantian. It might be of some help to you." Ling Xiao handed a medicinal Pill to Old Man Tian and said.
Old Man Tian's body trembled slightly. He looked at the Pill that Ling Xiao handed to him with excitement in his eyes, and once again, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Elder Ling, how... how do I repay this old man? I am indebted to Elder Ling for thinking highly of me. In the future, I will sell this old life of mine to Elder Ling. Elder Ling, please accept me as your servant!" Old Man Tian said gratefully.
He originally didn't have much time left. If he could recover his strength, his lifespan would naturally increase. Ling Xiao was undoubtedly his new parents. Therefore, he decided to acknowledge Ling Xiao as his master so that he could have a goal to survive.
"Brother Tian, you don't have to do this. Didn't you say you wanted to go back and see your daughter? When you go back, you can enjoy the joy of heaven!" Ling Xiao said.
Old Man Tian sighed and said, "I don't know if she is still in her hometown. No matter what, my life belongs to Elder Ling. I will be your servant in the future. Please don't dislike me!
Ling Xiao knew. Ling Xiao knew that Old Man Tian was determined and could not refuse anymore. Although Old Man Tian did not have much strength, having an elder in his family was like having a treasure. It was good to have him help him deal with some daily matters.
"Alright. From now on, Brother Tian will stay by my side and take care of some matters for me." Ling Xiao agreed.
Old Man Tian said in high spirits, "Thank you, Elder Ling. In the future, this old servant will do everything for Young Master!
Immediately after, Ling Xiao asked about some things in Old Man Tian's family.
He heard from Old Man Tian that he only had one daughter, but there were still other clansmen and brothers. The place where his family was located was also under the jurisdiction of Stone Sky City. It was just a small town, and it was still a few days away from here.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment. "If you have time, I'll go back with you to take a look.
"Thank you, Elder Ling!" Old Man Tian thanked him.
After accepting Old Man Tian, Ling Xiao talked to Xianyu Ye again and asked if he had any Protective Spirit Beasts.
Xianyu Ye shook his head and said, "Our Barbarian Clan rarely uses medicinal Spirit Beasts, because their strength might not necessarily be stronger than ours. It's fine if you don't want them!
After Ling Xiao heard this, he also deeply agreed. With Xianyu Ye's powerful physique, he could simply be said to be as strong as a bull.
"If that's the case, then forget it. I thought I could help Brother Xianyu find a high grade medicinal Holy Beast. Looks like it was unnecessary!" Ling Xiao said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, what kind of medicinal Spirit Beast can make Mr. Ling think highly of?" Xianyu Ye asked in surprise.
"Peak Tier 9 medicinal Earth Thorn Dragon!" Ling Xiao replied.
Xianyu Ye's eyes lit up. He urgently asked, "Where did Mr. Ling find it?
"Uh... I thought Brother Xianyu was not interested." Ling Xiao hesitated.
Xianyu Ye smiled and said, "The Earth Thorn Dragon is very powerful, and its body is stronger than ours. It is the Protective Spirit Beast that Barbarian likes more.
Ling Xiao felt a little depressed. Didn't he say just now that he didn't need medicinal Spirit Beasts? Why did he change his words so quickly?!
Xianyu Ye was not a fool. A high level medicinal Holy Beast like medicinal Holy Beasts was something that everyone would like. Moreover, it matched his attributes. That was a rare medicinal Protective Spirit Beast that he sought!
"Since that's the case, let's go and take a look together. I'm afraid that others might beat us to it," Ling Xiao replied.
Xianyu Ye said urgently, "Let's not delay any longer. Let's go.
"This matter can't be rushed. I still need to inform them of my whereabouts." Ling Xiao replied.
As an elder of the Zhang family's Outer Sect, he had some power, but it was impossible for him to come and go as he pleased. Therefore, before heading to the Stone Ridge, he still had to report to the Zhang family.
Ling Xiao could help Xianyu Ye find Earth Thorn Dragons to make Protective Spirit Beasts. Secondly, he could temporarily get rid of Zhang Lianhua's entanglement. It was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Zhang Lianhua's beautiful eyes were filled with unspeakable resentment when she heard that Ling Xiao was going out.
She wanted to eat Ling Xiao twice, but she kept carrying the burden, making her heart itch.
However, she seemed to really have some feelings for Ling Xiao. Before Ling Xiao left, he actually asked if he needed help.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a while and decided to call Chai Guan. He didn't want others to think he was running away.
Not long after he left the city, Ling Xiao asked Chai Guan to find a place to have fun. He would call Chai Guan back when he returned.
Chai Guan was looking forward to it. He did not have time to refine and break through with the help of the Saint Pill.
He thought Ling Xiao had specially brought him out for him to break through. He was extremely grateful to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was too lazy to explain to him, so he immediately rushed to the ore mine's stone ridge.
Arriving at the ore mine's stone ridge again, Ling Xiao sighed with emotion. This was the place where he had just arrived at the Celestial Domain realm.
When he arrived at the ore mine, he saw that it was already in a sorry state. Many of the stone ridges had already been flattened, and many Rock Dusts were scattered all over the ground.
Tia Lang and the others who were originally stationed here were no longer here.
Ling Xiao calmly sensed for a moment, and immediately felt the sounds of intense fighting in another direction.
Ling Xiao hid his Qi and rushed to the other side.
When he got close, he found Tia Lang and the others gathering together to attack the Earth Thorn Dragon.
However, not only were there Earth Thorn Dragons here, there were also many stone beasts. Each of them looked like rocks, and their appearances were extremely strange. Their skin and flesh were as thick as boulders, and ordinary weapons couldn't pierce through their bodies at all.
These stone beasts should have listened to the command of the Earth Thorn Dragons, and were currently fighting Tia Lang, Liu Jinxi, and the others.
It was just that although there were quite a number of these stone beasts, their strength was still a little weak. The most powerful ones were only two Ninth Grade stone beasts, and the rest were only Eighth Rank warriors.
This was something that could not be helped. Their bloodlines were definitely not high grade, and two of them had advanced to Ninth Grade. It was probably because of this Earth Thorn Dragon that they were able to help.
After an intense battle, many stone mountains were destroyed, and at the same time, numerous stone beasts were killed. On Tia Lang's side, they had suffered great losses as well. The main reason was that the Earth Thorn Dragon's injuries and killing power were truly too great.
However, Tia Lang actually had an offensive half-Divine Weapon in his hand. This caused the Earth Thorn Dragon to suffer quite a bit. Several deep wounds finally appeared on its body that was as hard as steel.
In the end, the Earth Thorn Dragon led all of the stone beasts back underground. It angered Tia Lang and the others to the point of being unable to bear it any longer.
If they could not draw the Earth Thorn Dragon up to the sky to fight, it would not be easy to assassinate it.
"I never thought that the Earth Thorn Dragon would actually have so many disciples and grandsons. Looks like wanting to take it down isn't easy!" Ling Xiao thought in his heart.
Ling Xiao covered his aura and temporarily left this place.
He did not want Tia Lang and the others to know that he wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
"I'm dying of anger. This Earth Thorn Dragon is stubborn. If I had known earlier that I would cut it down with a sword, I would have taken its corpse to auction off!" Tia Lang said very indignantly.
"That's right. Now that we've lost this young brother again, we can't continue mining. This is a double loss for the husband!" Liu Jinxi sighed.
"This damn medicinal Earth Thorn Dragon. As long as we kill it, these stone beasts won't be able to accomplish much. If this continues, we'll probably be unable to bear the consequences of missing anything this year!" Tia Lang's expression was slightly unsightly.
They were all outer staff members of Green Moon Palace, and they were arranged to supervise the mining of ores here. Every year, they had to pay a sufficient amount in order to exchange for more cultivation resources.
If they couldn't complete anything, they might lose this job at any time.
"Why don't we find another mineral vein? This is obviously Earth Thorn Dragon's territory. If we can't find its nest, destroying it won't be easy, let alone capturing it alive!" Liu Jinxi suggested.
Tia Lang hesitated for a moment and said, "That's all we can do. If it appears again, I will kill it immediately. If it doesn't work, I will have to ask the city lord for help.
"That's the only way!" Liu Jinxi said. In his heart, he secretly thought, If Ling Xiao was here, perhaps killing this Earth Thorn Dragon would be much easier!
He had seen how terrifying Ling Xiao's baleful qi was.
