Chapter 242 Zhou Daoyis worries, the beast tide is coming
"Eighteenth brother, your iron-backed bear can't just be used as a human shield. You have to let it kill you at close range to cooperate with your attacks."
"Brother Seventeen, you and your two siblings shouldn't just fight around a black water crocodile. Pay more attention to helping those nephews!"
"No, niece Xinhuan, be careful behind you!"
On the grass by the river bank, Zhou Zhenglan, who had the highest level of cultivation at the scene, was forced to become the team leader. While commanding other tribesmen to fight fiercely with the black water crocodile, he also took his husband Pang Chong to act as a firefighter, helping those who were injured everywhere.
Tribesmen in distress.
In fact, they just have no experience.
As long as they had such experience in coordinated operations, a dozen black water crocodiles would not be a match for their well-equipped enemies.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.
The Zhou family today is no longer comparable to the Zhou family twenty or thirty years ago.
When the Zhou family first took root in Jiufeng Ridge, they didn't get many physical objects when they split up. Even if Zhou Chun's magic weapon broke, he couldn't find the family to replace it.
Now, as long as the monks of the Zhou family reach the middle or late stage of Qi refining, the family will reward them with magical weapons corresponding to their cultivation level.
What's more, when they came out this time, the family not only distributed an extra spare magic weapon corresponding to their cultivation level to those participating in the war, but also distributed twenty magic charms and several pills.
With this kind of configuration, it is really not difficult to deal with some blackwater crocodiles whose combat effectiveness is not very good after landing!
So after experiencing the initial panic and discovering that those black water crocodiles were not that powerful, the twelve Zhou family monks finally recovered from the panic and began to know how to cooperate in fighting against the enemy.
When they really started to work together, they quickly achieved exciting results.
One after another, the black water crocodiles were killed by them, and it didn't take long for the battle to be completely over.
After the last black water crocodile was smashed to death by Zhou Xinlan's Crimson Flame Monkey Spirit pet, Zhou Chun slowly descended from the sky, and then gently nodded to the Zhou family monks who had just experienced a hard battle.
:
"Well done. I hope you can learn from the lessons of this battle in the future, learn to fight more cooperatively, learn to make reasonable use of the magic weapons, magic talismans, and spiritual beasts in each person's hands, so that you can truly fully utilize your own power, and even display it beyond normal.
.”
These words affirmed the contribution of the twelve people.
Therefore, the monks of the Zhou family who heard what he said couldn't help showing expressions of joy and responded loudly: "Yes, we will definitely remember the teachings of the deputy patriarch!"
"Okay, let's clean up the battlefield. There's nothing good about these black water crocodiles. Just take off their eyes as evidence!"
Zhou Chun waved his hand and made new arrangements.
In the beast tide, killing monster beasts also has military merit.
If you want to gain military merit by slaying monsters, you must present relevant evidence to the monks from the three sects who compile military merit statistics.
For example, to kill a black water crocodile, you need to show one of its eyes. Of course, it is better to have the whole body.
For example, if you kill some second-level monsters, you may need to show the entire corpse or half of the corpse to be recognized.
After a while, the fourteen pairs of black water crocodile eyes were collected and handed over to Zhou Chun for safekeeping...
The corpses of the black water crocodiles were casually eaten by the spiritual pets of the Zhou family and then dumped on the river beach.
Then the Zhou family set out on foot and went upstream along the river, sweeping away the monsters that had penetrated far inland.
Just one day passed like this, and Zhou Chun and his party walked along the river bank for more than a hundred miles, killing forty-six first-order monsters of various kinds along the way.
Among them, only a few first-level high-grade monsters were killed by Zhou Chun himself. The rest of the monsters were used as whetstones by him and handed over to the twelve Zhou family Qi-refining period monks to deal with.
After such a day of high-intensity fighting, these monks from the Zhou family who were in the Qi Refining Stage for the first time on the battlefield finally sharpened their skills and began to understand how to kill enemies and survive on the battlefield.
"Okay, today's mission is here
Now that this is over, I will send you back to your base first. When you go back, remember to think more about today’s experience and learn more lessons. Don’t make the same mistake again next time!”
Outside a small fishing village next to the river, Zhou Chun, who had been patrolling here, took one look at the peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the village, and ended his patrol with a wave of his hand.
Since this small fishing village near the river has not been attacked by monsters, it means that the monsters traveling up the river have not yet passed here, so the river can be considered clean for the time being.
Immediately, Zhou Chun let out the silver lightning python that had been resting all the way, and flew back to the stronghold carrying the twelve exhausted monks in the Qi Refining Stage of the Zhou family.
When they returned to the stronghold, there seemed to be a lot more people in the stronghold than a day ago. Zhou Chun also saw many monks who should be casual cultivators.
After delivering the mission, Zhou Daoyi, who had been inside the stronghold, also took the opportunity to talk about Qing Lingzi's arrangements.
"According to Senior Qing Lingzi's plan, our Zhou family and several powerful families will form separate teams, and some casual cultivators will be added to form a hundred-man team. At that time, he will directly issue orders to me to wait for these captains.
I'll just do what you're told."
Hearing his words, Zhou Chun couldn't help but murmured to himself with a slightly surprised expression: "Now that I'm willing to decentralize power, this senior Qing Lingzi is still very courageous!"
After speaking, he nodded slightly and said, "But this is indeed a great thing for us!"
"Things are indeed a good thing, but with the decentralization of power, the responsibility also falls on us. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we will be in trouble!"
When Zhou Daoyi said this, he shook his head and changed the topic and said: "I heard what senior Qing Lingzi said. He seemed to want to use Qing Qing's existence to make some articles. This made me very worried and a little difficult.
Stay calm!"
Zhou Chun heard this and immediately responded: "If you want to use the green dragon to make a fuss, you may want to rely on the power of the dragon to drive away the beasts, but this is probably difficult to do in the beast tide. Those fourth-level monsters are not
You might just sit back and do nothing about it!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Either use the green dragon to attract the attention of the fourth-order dragon behind the beast tide and lure the fourth-order dragon out!"
After finishing speaking, he said thoughtfully: "If it's the latter, then I'm afraid there's not just a golden elixir-level monk like Senior Qing Lingzi here."
"That's what I thought too, that's why I'm worried!"….
Zhou Daoyi looked worried and murmured to himself: "Qingqing's bloodline has returned to his ancestors and transformed into a dragon. He has never seen other dragons. If he meets a fourth-level dragon, I'm not afraid that it will backfire and break away from the contract, but
But I’m worried that it will affect its character and thoughts, and what hidden dangers it may lay!”
His worries are not unfounded.
Most of the spiritual pets of Zhou family monks have been cultivated since childhood, so they usually have a very close relationship with their masters.
In the past history of the Zhou family, many spiritual pets of Zhou family monks were even buried for their masters after their deaths.
However, once a spiritual pet comes into contact with wild monsters of the same species outside and lives together for a long time, its feelings for its owner will easily deteriorate.
Moreover, the higher the level of cultivation of the monster, the higher the spiritual intelligence, and the more susceptible it is to this kind of influence.
Although under the restrictions of the "Soul-Controlling Blood Array", it is almost impossible for monsters of the same level to break away from the contract and bite their masters, but if they really have the intention of betrayal, it will also cause great consequences.
Qingjiao is already a third-level monster. After Zhou Daoyi's hundreds of years of training, its intelligence is now comparable to that of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old human race boy.
It just so happens that the spiritual intelligence of the fourth-level dragon has almost reached this level, or even higher.
If the two meet, then the fourth-level dragon conveys some ideas to Qingjiao about resisting human beings and liberating the demon body's freedom. There is no guarantee that Qingjiao will not be affected.
And once the seeds are really planted, they may sprout and grow at any time in the future until they fill the soul.
Zhou Chun was also worried about this at the beginning, so he spared the golden-winged tiger's parents and did not kill the golden sword tiger and the winged tiger.
At this time, facing Zhou Daoyi's worries, Zhou Chun could only comfort him and said: "
Patriarch, your worries are not unreasonable, but you will have to face this level sooner or later. I believe that the relationship between you and Qingqing for a hundred years is definitely not something that can be disrupted and destroyed by the monstrous words of a long insect beast!"
"Hey, I hope so!"
Zhou Daoyi sighed, and there was no better way.
Time passed quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, all the immortal cultivating families who had been recruited to Biyanze were basically here.
And because the real main force of the beast tide is heading towards Yunzhou, most of the immortal cultivating families mobilized from Lanzhou this time are local cultivating families in Lanzhou, and there are also a few immortal cultivating families from Lianzhou.
On the contrary, the sources of casual cultivators are extremely wide.
Many casual cultivators in the north had no time to rush to Yunzhou due to time constraints, or they did not want to face the main force of the beast tide, so they came to Lanzhou to join the battle.
After these scattered cultivators had gathered thousands of people, Qing Lingzi began to organize them.
He gave casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Period who were willing to participate in the reorganization an additional salary ranging from three to seven spiritual coins per day, and also promised to give them a death benefit.
In this way, more than 700 warriors were recruited.
Then, these casual cultivators were evenly distributed among the eight cultivating families including the Zhou family, and eight integrated hundred-man teams were formed. The remaining casual cultivators were used as reserve personnel to replenish the losses in the previous battles at any time.
"Here, here, here, and here, these eight places are all dangerous passes leading to the inland. You eight hundred troops are to form a garrison at these places to resist and suppress the small tide of beasts.
Don’t let them go deep into the interior and cause harm to mortals!”….
"In addition, if you receive a summons from me, you must obey the order immediately without any delay!"
In a small and exquisite courtyard, Qing Lingzi summoned Zhou Daoyi and other eight monks of the Purple Mansion Period, and arranged relevant tasks for them with a serious look.
The border of Jingguo is extremely vast. If all the monsters in the beast tide break into pieces and rush into Jingguo, then the number of immortal cultivators in Jingguo will definitely not be able to defend such a vast border.
But the monsters scattered like that will no longer act according to the orders of the high-level monsters that launched the monster tide.
It is possible that they had just started killing each other as soon as they left the influence range of the high-level monsters, or they simply saw that the place was good and just stayed there.
In this way, not only will the actual damage caused by the beast tide be limited, but it will also make it easier for the immortal cultivators in Jingguo to form a team to eliminate those monster beasts.
Therefore, after high-level monsters launch a beast tide, they generally do not let the beasts leave their range of influence, and the route of the beast tide is easy to know in advance.
According to Jingguo's previous experience in dealing with the beast tide, even if the beast tide is divided, the small beast tides that are separated need to be led by at least a third-level monster to restrain them in order to continue to maintain a certain degree of destructiveness.
Therefore, Qing Lingzi asked the Zifuqi monks to lead teams in all directions this time to prevent small groups of beasts from evading the frontal defense line and rushing into the rear to cause havoc.
At this time, after listening to Qing Lingzi's instructions, Zhou Daoyi and others also responded in unison with solemn expressions: "Yes, junior, take the order."
Then they each led the others and set off.
I saw a hundred people from the Zhou family leaving their stronghold and walking straight to the southwest. They walked for more than three hundred miles before stopping on a mountain ridge.
"This is it, Jinji Mountain. We will defend this area until new orders arrive."
On the top of the high mountain, Zhou Daoyi looked at the endless plain behind him with an extremely solemn expression.
There are no less than a million mortals living on the great plain behind them. If a tide of beasts enters it, countless mortals will be killed by the beasts.
So they have a very heavy responsibility.
Then Zhou Daoyi took matters into his own hands and led Zhou Chun and others to lay out a large guardian array and a small spiritual purification array issued by Qing Lingzi.
In this way, a temporary camp stronghold was formed.
After the camp was set up, Zhou Chun spoke to Zhou Daoyi and said: "I think the environment of Jinji Mountain is not bad.
There are also many casual cultivators living in seclusion, maybe we can recruit them all, even if they are just to help control the formation."
"This is also a way. Let Zhenglan and his wife bring some casual cultivators to find someone, and tell them that as long as they can come, regardless of their cultivation level, our Zhou family will subsidize them at least once a day.
A spiritual coin!"
Zhou Daoyi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Zhou Chun's suggestion.
So Zhou Chun quickly arranged for Zhou Zhenglan, Pang Chong and his wife to take seven or eight casual cultivators to catch young men in the mountains.
Zhou Chun himself also took the time to train and hone the casual cultivators he brought over, so that when he actually fights against the beast tide, he can adapt to individual conditions and truly bring out the strength of these people.
At the same time, just when the Zhou family had just set up camp, the beast tide that had been resting by the green smoke for two days officially crossed the wilderness and set foot on the territory of Jingguo.
The main force of this beast tide went directly towards the stronghold where Qing Lingzi was stationed. It had obviously been conducted intelligence reconnaissance.
At about the same time, Lin Hongyu, who was far away in the Blood Dragon branch of Hualong Sect, was also forced to end her life of recuperation and was recruited out of the mountain again.
