In the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Chun and the others were instantly overjoyed when they heard the sudden sound outside, showing expressions of joy.
Although Zhou Jiahe was leading people in the rear to clean up the monsters that broke into the hinterland of Lanzhou, they were not in the frontline stronghold.
But after the frontline stronghold is breached, she may encounter a large wave of beasts at any time.
Therefore, Zhou Chun and others were worried about this before she failed to come back.
Now that they knew she was back safely, several people were relieved.
"Jiahe, come in quickly. If you have anything to do, come in and talk about it."
Zhou Daoyi immediately spoke up and called Zhou Jiahe into the hall.
"Thirteenth Aunt, you just said that you have something important to report. I wonder what it is?"
Zhou Jiahe entered the hall and had just finished saluting the two elders when he heard Zhou Chun on the side talking about business.
After hearing this, her face instantly became solemn, and she said solemnly: "On the way back to the family, I discovered a wave of elite beasts moving towards the family. Among them, there were several third-level monsters and two second-level monsters.
Thirty heads!"
"What? This happened!"
The three Zhou family members in the hall all looked shocked, stunned by the news.
Then Zhou Mingde asked with a serious face: "Jiahe, where did you find that tide of beasts? How far away are they from the family now?"
"They are more than four hundred miles away from my family. They are not as familiar with the road as I am, so they should be a lot slower than me, but I estimate that they are no more than two hundred miles away from my family now!"
Zhou Jiahe told the details in a low tone, obviously realizing something.
After hearing her answer, Zhou Daoyi suddenly said with a serious face: "It seems that they are coming directly to our Zhou family with a high probability. Maybe there are monks from the Hualong Sect hiding among them!"
As for why he thought that the wave of elite beasts was coming towards the Zhou family, it was of course because of the grudge between the Zhou family and the Hualong Sect, as well as his spiritual pet, the green dragon.
Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun's judgments were basically the same as his, and they both believed that the target of the elite beast wave could only be the Zhou family.
So Zhou Mingde pondered for a moment and immediately issued the order.
"Immediately send someone to Hongyafang City to deliver a message, saying that there are elite beasts attacking my Zhou family, asking for support."
"Let someone immediately notify the secular tribesmen outside the mountain and ask them to run away if they can. Those who can't run should go into the escape tunnel first and don't stay on the ground anymore!"
"Send the order...forget it, there is no need to make a big fuss on the family side, so as not to let those casual cultivators escape in advance!"
Orders were issued one by one from Zhou Mingde's mouth, and several senior officials of the Zhou family immediately took action.
Based on the information provided by Zhou Jiahe, Zhou Mingde personally left the mountain gate to investigate the whereabouts of the elite beast wave.
Zhou Chun, on his side, began to adjust the personnel within the family who were performing various tasks, so that when the beast tide actually attacked the Zhou family's mountain gate, those monks with combat effectiveness could participate in the battle.
In less than two hours, Zhou Mingde, who went out to investigate the situation, came back and explained the investigation results.
"We guessed right. That wave of elite beasts is indeed heading towards the family, and is now a hundred miles away!"…
"And according to my observation, there are five third-order monsters in the beast tide, including two third-order high-grade monsters, twenty-four second-order monsters, and more than 400 first-order monsters.
They are all first-level high-grade monsters!"
"As for the monks from the Hualong Sect, although I was unable to detect him, the beast tide can come so accurately to the Zhou family. Someone must be secretly guiding it!"
After hearing this result, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun both looked heavy.
The Zhou family's current strength is not as strong as it used to be. With the mountain-protecting formation to rely on, even three or five Zifu period monks may not be able to break in.
But if there are more than 20 second-order monster beasts and more than 400 first-order monster beasts to help, then the Zhou family's mountain-protecting formation may not be able to withstand the fierce attack of so many monster beasts.
"The tide of beasts has come from afar, so they definitely need some rest.
Only then will we attack. If the support from Hongyafang City is timely, all we need to do is hold on to the wave of offensive in front of the beast tide."
Zhou Chun whispered his opinion, but his low tone showed that he was not confident about it.
"It's meaningless to say anything else now. Let's inform the clansmen to prepare for battle!"
Zhou Daoyi shook his head slightly, not wanting to express any further opinions on this matter.
The enemy has already reached the gate of the family mountain, and all they can do now is to attack them with all their strength.
As expected, when they learned that a wave of beasts had appeared outside Jiufeng Ridge, the first reaction of the casual cultivators who were still practicing and being employed at the Zhou Family Mountain Gate was to escape from Jiufeng Ridge.
They have no feelings for the Zhou family, and they will not stay to help fight off the beast tide for the sake of the Zhou family.
But just when they gathered at the entrance and exit of the mountain gate, clamoring to ask the gatekeeper to let them leave Jiufeng Ridge, Zhou Chun appeared.
He was seen floating in the air, looking down at the dozens of monks below and saying in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, please be quiet for a moment and listen to what Zhou has to say!"
After the words fell, the noisy casual cultivators fell silent and couldn't help but shut their mouths.
But just when Zhou Chun was about to speak again, a discordant voice suddenly came out.
"Vice Clan Zhou, I don't want to hear what you have to say right now. I just want to leave as soon as possible before the beasts attack the mountain. Please ask someone to let me go!"
In the crowd, I saw an old man with white hair and an anxious face, and he repeatedly raised his hands to Zhou Chun. The words just came from his mouth.
After listening to his words, several casual cultivators also started to make noises.
"That's right, we just want to leave now, and we ask Deputy Chief Zhou not to delay any longer!"
"Deputy Clan Zhou, if you want someone to help guard the Zhou family, you can just say it bluntly. I just want to leave now. Please give me the order to let him go!"
"This junior is just paying rent to practice in Jiufengling. If this junior has something to do and leaves, why would the Zhou family stop him?"
These casual cultivators who have not gone to the front line are not the kind of people who have the courage to fight against the beast tide, and all of them are very smart.
Of course they knew the purpose of Zhou Chun's appearance at this time, but they were not interested in listening to Zhou Chun's deception. They just wanted to leave the Zhou family, a dangerous place, as soon as possible.
"Fellow Taoists have misunderstood. If you want to leave, the Zhou family will naturally not stop you. However, Zhou reminds you that after leaving this mountain gate, the Zhou family will no longer be responsible for the safety of all fellow Taoists.
Don’t blame Zhou for not warning the beasts that came around!”….
When Zhou Chun said this, he really asked someone to open the entrance and exit of the mountain gate.
But as a result, the casual cultivator who shouted to leave immediately hesitated again. Looking at the opened entrance and exit of the mountain door, he couldn't move for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun ignored these guys and immediately continued: "According to the intelligence of our Zhou family, the beast tide that attacked this time is just a small beast tide, and its number does not exceed a thousand. It is completely up to us."
It’s within the Zhou family’s ability to cope.”
"Furthermore, my Zhou family has used the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman to notify the senior Qinglian Temple who is in charge of Hongyafang City. The reinforcements will arrive at my Zhou family soon. After all, my Zhou family will be Lianzhou in the future. Mr. Qinglian Temple
You won’t just sit back and watch the beast tide enter Lianzhou!”
"So if you Taoist friends choose to stay in the Zhou family, our Zhou family will not only distribute free talismans to all the Taoist friends to fight the enemy, but also give the remaining Taoist friends a relevant amount of spiritual coins as rewards every day. Just
If you reach the later stage of Qi refining, you can receive ten spirit coins every day!"
After saying this, Zhou Chun waved his hand and said: "Okay, Zhou has finished speaking. You only have half a quarter of an hour to consider whether to go or stay. After half a quarter of an hour, the formation will be completely closed. There will be no more trouble for anyone."
Turn on."
After the words fell, the others landed on the ground, sat cross-legged on the spot and closed their eyes to rest.
Looking at this scene, the casual cultivators were also confused.
But half an hour was not long, and there was no room for them to hesitate for too long.
Therefore, the monk who was more decisive quickly made a decision on the spot.
"Damn it, I can't believe I'm so unlucky!"
A middle-aged man cursed and immediately rushed towards the entrance of the mountain gate, and soon left the Zhou Family Mountain Gate.
With such a leader, some of the monks who were usually more confident in themselves followed and left one by one.
By the time half an hour was over, almost half of the casual cultivators present had left.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun, who had been keeping his eyes closed, immediately stood up, looked at the monks who chose to stay and said, "Okay, half a quarter of an hour has come. Since all the fellow Taoists have chosen to stay, I
The Zhou family will not treat you badly. Please go to the foreign affairs hall of your family to register your personal cultivation information and receive the rewards and rewards that the Zhou family will give you!"
After saying that, he sealed the entrance and exit of the formation and informed the clan leader Zhou Daoyi to completely activate the mountain protection formation.
The Zhou family's mountain-protecting formation is called the "Five Directions Miluo Formation", which is an extremely mysterious forbidden formation.
This array integrates attack, defense, transformation and other functions into one. It has various mysterious changes and its power can be large or small.
If it is arranged on that kind of high-level spiritual veins, and there are golden elixir phase monks who are familiar with the changes of the formation to control the formation, and there are more than four Zifu phase monks to assist, even if four or five golden elixir phase monks attack, it will be difficult to shake it.
There is no trace of formation.
It's a pity that although Zhou Family's Jiu Fengling also has extraordinary spiritual energy, its spiritual vein level is still in the intermediate spiritual vein category.
Moreover, due to the scarcity of resources, when Zhou Chongshan arranged the "Five Directions Miluo Formation", the materials used were not of the highest quality. Even after years of improvement and replacement, it was still unable to be completed.
So now, even if Zhou Daoyi, a monk from the Zifu period, is in charge of the formation, and there are four people including Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiahe, Zhou Jiapeng, and Zhou Zhengyuan as assistants, whether they can withstand the impact of the beast tide is Zhou Chongshan, the person who set up the formation.
I can’t guarantee it either….
But no matter what, when the "Five Directions Miluo Formation" was fully activated and the colorful array shield completely enveloped the Zhou family's mountain gate, it gave the monks inside the mountain gate a reassurance and made them feel much more at ease.
Then, under the command of Zhou Chongshan, who was unable to participate in the battle due to injury, each of the Zhou family monks and hired casual cultivators walked to the edge of the formation where they were most suitable for attacking.
Almost when the monks inside the Zhou family's mountain gate were getting ready for battle, the figures of hundreds of monster beasts also appeared in the sight of the Zhou family monks inside the mountain gate.
When they saw that the number of monster beasts was less than five hundred, many of the casual cultivators who chose to stay and help the Zhou family heaved a sigh of relief.
They have been cultivating in the Zhou family for a long time, and they still know the general strength of the Zhou family. They feel that with the mountain-protecting formation as their support, it is impossible for this monster to break the Zhou family's mountain-protecting formation.
At this time, several casual cultivators who had chosen to escape returned to the gate of the Zhou Family Mountain in panic, crying for their parents and begging the Zhou Family to open the formation to let them in.
However, no matter how they begged, Zhou Daoyi, who was in charge of controlling the formation, did not respond.
At this time, the attention of Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun and others fell on the third-order monster beasts in the herd.
I saw only five third-level monsters, including a black and purple giant tiger, a black-haired giant bull with golden horns, a one-horned fire wolf, a cyan giant eagle, and an earthy yellow giant scorpion.
Among them, the black-purple giant tiger and the black-furred giant bull are both third-order high-grade monsters, the one-horned fire wolf and the cyan giant eagle are third-order mid-grade monsters, and the earthy yellow giant scorpion is a third-order low-grade monster.
Such a lineup is truly luxurious!
"I didn't expect that the one-horned fire wolf was among them!"
Zhou Daoyi's eyes swept over the five third-level monsters one by one, and finally landed on the one-horned fire wolf.
Looking at the wounds on the one-horned fire wolf that had not yet completely healed, he determined that this was the one-horned fire wolf that escaped in Jinji Mountain that day.
Ouch~~
Following the deafening roar of a ferocious tiger, the army of monsters outside Jiufeng Ridge launched an attack directly towards the Zhou Family Mountain Gate.
"Don't they all want to rest?"
Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, as if he smelled some kind of danger.
Outside the formation, the giant black and purple tiger roared and gave the order to attack, then flew forward and spit out a black and purple fireball that hit the formation shield.
Not to be outdone, the giant black-haired bull let out a moo. The golden light from its horns erupted from the top of its head. It raised its horns and galloped into the air, crashing into the formation shield.
With these two third-level high-grade demonic beasts as demonstration leaders, the other demonic beasts did not dare to wait and see any longer. They roared and attacked the Zhou family's mountain gate.
Boom!
Violent explosions sounded one after another in the sky above Jiufeng Ridge. Various spells fell on the five-color formation shield formed by the "Five Directions Miluo Formation", causing the brilliance of the formation light shield to flicker and flicker.
endlessly.
On the five most important formation bases on Jiufeng Ridge, Zhou Daoyi, the person in charge of the formation, and four other foundation-building monks including Zhou Chun, used their full power to control the formation flags to extract spiritual veins and spiritual energy.
Maintain the operation of the array shield.
At this time, none of the five of them could launch any attacks on the monsters outside. Only Zhou Mingde was trying to harass the third-level monsters, preventing them from using their magical powers to attack the formation.
As for the two third-level monsters, the green dragon and the fire god jackal, they are now on standby inside the mountain gate, and will not be allowed to go out to fight the enemy until the critical moment.
