Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 111 Both sides suffer losses, good things take time [Subscription required]

On the shore of Biyan Lake, Zhou Chun was still struggling.

Faced with an enemy who is stronger than him in every aspect, all he can do now is to endure the beating and wait for a turnaround.

This turning point may be Zhou Jiarui who should be returning soon.

It could also be a mistake made by the enemy after failing to capture the city for a long time.

Any kind of turnaround would help him change the situation.

In mid-air, the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face became more and more frightened and irritated as the fight went on.

He didn't expect that Zhou Chun and his servant would cooperate with each other and actually be able to block his wave after wave of attacks.

What made him annoyed was that he, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, couldn't even defeat a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. It was so embarrassing.

Even if no one saw this scene, he still felt it was outrageous.

And under the continuous attack, combined with the mana consumed in the previous pursuit, his own mana was gradually consumed by nearly half.

For a casual cultivator, the consumption of nearly half of his mana is a dangerous signal.

It is impossible for most independent cultivators to exhaust their magic power when adventuring outside. If they don't want to die in the wild, they can only risk meditating in the wild to restore their magic power.

Therefore, an experienced independent cultivator will become very alert and consciously control his own mana consumption after more than half of his mana power is consumed.

Therefore, the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face stopped flying and landed on the ground in order to save his magic power.

Naturally, without the advantage of being high above, in order to make it easier for him to hit Zhou Chun and not be weakened by the mountains and trees, he could only shorten the distance between the two sides to more than 100 feet, just beyond the attack range of Zhou Chun and the Rock Turtle.

This finally gave Zhou Chun an opportunity.

He first cast a "wind control technique" on himself, and then after withstanding a wave of attacks, he and the silver electric thunder python quickly rushed towards the pockmarked middle-aged man on the left and right.

Ok?
The middle-aged man with the pockmarked face was also confused by Zhou Chun's behavior. He didn't understand how Zhou Chun dared to leave the protection of the rock turtle and rush towards him.

Did he think that if he got close to me, he would be able to hurt me?
How funny!

However, although he didn't think Zhou Chun could hurt him, just to be on the safe side, he raised his hand again and summoned a blue light from the jade bowl in front of him, which turned into a shield to protect himself.

Although his jade bowl magic weapon is not as powerful as many purely offensive magic weapons, it has many uses and is both offensive and defensive, making it very suitable for a casual cultivator like him.

After all, as a casual cultivator, it is difficult for him to buy himself two second-level magic weapons for attack and defense at one time, and he may often encounter various complicated situations when adventuring outside.

In this case, the overall usefulness of this jade bowl magic weapon to him is definitely much more useful than any single attack magic weapon or defense magic weapon.

After adding a layer of protection to himself, he activated the jade bowl magic weapon with a sneer on his face and aimed his attack at Zhou Chun.

Without the protection of that smelly and hard rock turtle, he didn't believe that Zhou Chun, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, could withstand two rounds of his attacks!

While he was attacking Zhou Chun, the Silver Electric Thunder Python launched a fierce attack.

Baibai first opened his python mouth and spit out a silver-white thunder ball at the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face.

After the silver-white thunder ball exploded in front of the enemy, another snake-shaped forked lightning fell on the shield in front of him, causing the shield to shake continuously, and the luster suddenly dimmed a lot.

This made the pockmarked middle-aged man frown slightly.

But when he saw that Zhou Chun had been spitting blood and most of the protective spells on his body had dissipated, he relaxed his brows without caring and launched a second round of attack on Zhou Chun.

However, he did not notice that Zhou Chun had already gotten so close to him that he was only fifty or sixty feet away.

It's now!

Seeing the pockmarked middle-aged man attacking again, Zhou Chun also raised his hands with a ferocious look and threw out two "Xin Jin Sword Qis".

I saw two platinum-colored sword energies tearing through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking the air.

In an instant, the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face felt his heart sank and he felt an unprecedented threat.

Without time to think about it, he hurriedly mobilized his magic power to cast the magic shield that all Foundation Establishment cultivators would use, while at the same time moving his body slightly.

puff!puff!
Only two "puff" sounds were heard in front of the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face.

The magic shield he hastily activated, as well as the dim blue light shield, were easily penetrated by two extremely sharp "Xin Jin Sword Qi".

Just as easily as he had previously destroyed several defensive spells cast by the Rock Turtle.

Two bright red blood flowers quickly appeared on his shoulders and abdomen, staining the nearby clothes red.

This was not the most uncomfortable thing for him.

What made him most uncomfortable was that after the two sword energies hit his body, they quickly dissipated into extremely sharp golden energy, piercing his flesh and bones like countless steel needles.

The golden energy in his abdomen directly penetrated his intestines and other internal organs.

This made him like a cultivator who had just started practicing "Xin Jin Sword Qi" and directly used that pure gold energy to practice.

Fortunately, after the cultivator successfully built his foundation, his body had already begun to become extraordinary.

Otherwise, just this amount of golden energy entering his body would be enough to take away half of his life!
However, just when he was heartbroken and wanted to mobilize his magic power to get rid of the golden energy, a silver-white lightning suddenly struck him, hitting him so hard that smoke came out of his head and his hair stood up.

Only then did he remember that he was still on the battlefield and the enemy was not dead yet.

So he gritted his teeth, endured the pain and put up a magic shield to protect himself, then looked at Zhou Chun with unwillingness on his face, and quickly took off and fled the battlefield.

If he put more effort now, he could kill Zhou Chun, but the result might be that he would be seriously injured by the gold energy in his body and the attack of the silver electric thunder python, or even die here.

This was naturally something he could not accept.

On the ground, Zhou Chun, who was also seriously injured by the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face, was completely relieved when he saw the other party finally escape.

He also didn't want to exchange his life with the other party.

The current result of both sides suffering losses is already a relatively good result for him.

So he gritted his teeth and took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, then swallowed a pill filled with medicinal fragrance into his stomach.

The pill he took was none other than the precious healing pill "Dragon Blood Replenishing Qi Pill" that he obtained when he killed the black-clothed old man from the Hualong Sect that day.

He was seriously injured at this time, and only this healing elixir, which was of great benefit to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, could help him quickly stabilize his injuries and avoid any hidden injuries.

This "Dragon Blood Replenishing Qi Pill" is indeed a rare elixir that even the foundation-building cultivators treasure. After Zhou Chun took the elixir, he just sat in meditation for a while and adjusted his breathing. He felt that his internal injuries had healed a lot and he could stand up and walk a little.

So he did not stop and immediately put the Rock Turtle into the spirit beast bag, then lay on the back of the Silver Thunder Python and let it drag him to the water.

In this situation, it is dangerous to stay on land.

Zhou Chun was very afraid that the middle-aged man with the pockmarked face would suppress his injuries and then make a comeback.

So entering the water is the safest.

After arriving in the Bi Yan Ze, Zhou Chun let the Silver Electric Thunder Python carry him and dive for a distance to dissipate the breath and smell, and then commanded it to swim to a small island dozens of miles away.

The island is less than two hundred acres in size, it is truly a very small island.

But it is enough to temporarily stay and recuperate.

Zhou Chun asked the Rock Turtle and the Silver Thunder Python to hide themselves and protect him, and then he continued to meditate in a cave on the island that the Rock Turtle had casually dug out to refine the medicinal power of the "Dragon Blood Qi Replenishing Pill".

After meditating for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun was suddenly awakened by a loud bang.

He walked out of the cave and opened his eyes, only to see a huge purple orchid pattern hanging high in the distant sky, visible within a hundred miles.

The pattern looked like a cloud condensed from smoke, hanging thousands of feet high in the sky and lasting for a long time.

"It's the Purple Orchid Cloud Smoke that can only be carried by the elders of the family. It seems that Uncle Eleven is back!"

After Zhou Chun stared at the orchid pattern for a while, he shouted out with joy on his face.

He knew in his heart that Zhou Jiarui set off this kind of communication fireworks at this time not to ask for help, but to summon the scattered clansmen to reunite.

After all, if they really encountered an enemy in Biyanze that even Zhou Jiarui could not deal with, if he sent out the communication fireworks, he would drag the other members of the tribe to death with him.

Unless he is extremely cruel, he would not do such a thing.

At this time, after several hours of meditation and breathing exercises, Zhou Chun's injuries had improved a lot and his magic power had recovered a lot.

So he pondered for a moment, and then let the silver electric thunder python carry him towards the direction of the purple orchid pattern.

Less than an hour passed, and Zhou Chun saw Zhou Jiarui's figure floating in the air.

"Huh, Zhengchun, I'm so glad you're okay!"

When he saw Zhou Chun, Zhou Jiarui breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed with a look of relief on his face.

Zhou Chun might not know how shocked and angry he was when he came back and saw that the island was occupied by other monks and that Zhou Zhengtao was captured.

Especially after he met up with Zhou Zhengjing and others and learned that Zhou Chun had led away the Foundation Establishment stage enemy alone, he felt even more terrified.

Maybe Zhou Zhengjing and others only know that Zhou Chun is now valued by the clan leader and elders, but they don’t know how much they are valued.

But Zhou Jiarui knew that in the heart of clan leader Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun was probably more important than himself, the foundation-building elder.

Because although there are few foundation-building cultivators like him in the Zhou family, it is not difficult to produce one as long as they are willing to spend resources.

However, for someone like Zhou Chun who possesses the ability to be the head of a clan and has good qualifications, cultivation and strength, it would be difficult to find a replacement even if one searches the entire Zhou family.

If Zhou Chun were to die in Biyanze, Zhou Jiarui, Zhou Zhengjing and others would probably become sinners of the Zhou family!
When Zhou Chun heard Zhou Jiarui's sigh, he realized that his uncle must have been frightened this time.

But he still did not take the initiative to mention his own situation, but first asked with concern: "Since Uncle Eleven is back, have you found Uncle Seventeen and Third Sister? Are they all right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiarui immediately replied, "They are all fine, no one is hurt, and those damned independent cultivators have been captured by my uncle!"

Then he looked at Zhou Chun with concern and asked, "Zhengchun, you seem to be injured. How are you? Is the injury serious? Do you need your uncle to send you back to the family to recover?"

After hearing his question, Zhou Chun sighed and said, "My nephew almost lost his life this time!"

"But fortunately, my nephew was lucky and had a long life. After fighting with the thief and both of us were injured, he was scared away."

"Now that I have taken the healing elixir, my injuries are no longer serious. Uncle Eleven does not need to worry about my nephew anymore."

A fight with the thieves ended in a loss for both sides?

When Zhou Jiarui heard what Zhou Chun said, he was immediately shocked.

He knew who the thief Zhou Chun was talking about. He was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building with the same cultivation level as him!
Is Zhou Chun sure he is not joking?

Zhou Jiarui, who didn't know that Zhou Chun had already killed a foundation-building cultivator, looked at Zhou Chun in shock, somewhat stunned.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun in a hurried tone and said, "You said that after you and that thief fought, both of you were injured? I didn't hear it wrong!"

Seeing him like this, Zhou Chun could only nod his head and said, "Uncle Eleven, you heard it right. I will tell you the details of this matter after returning to the family."

After that, he begged, "But before that, please keep it a secret for me and don't let more people know about it. Just say that I lured a second-level monster to fight that guy and took the opportunity to escape."

After hearing what he said, even though Zhou Jiarui had a thousand words to say, he could only bury his doubts deep in his heart.

He nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Wei knows about this, and this matter will never be leaked."

Then he took Zhou Chun to meet up with Zhou Jiacheng and others.

After everyone gathered together, Zhou Chun found out that the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage was actually invited by the independent cultivator who had discovered the herd of Eight-Angled Water Deer together with Zhou Jiacheng.

These people originally came straight to the island by boat, but happened to run into Zhou Jiafei who was returning to the island with Zhou Zhengtao.

So when Zhou Jiafei saw the foundation-building cultivator, he immediately set off the distress fireworks to warn Zhou Chun and others on the island.

When the foundation-building cultivator saw the distress fireworks that were exclusive to families and sects, he realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately captured Zhou Jiafei and the other two and handed them over to the care of the wandering cultivators he brought with him. He then followed Zhou Jiacheng, who had come to check on the situation, to the island.

If Zhou Chun had not led that person away at that time, I am afraid they would all be caught in one fell swoop and the outcome would be very bad.

After figuring out the whole cause and effect, I also heard that Zhou Chun was in danger and almost lost his life.

Zhou Jiacheng also said with a face full of self-blame: "This matter is all my fault. If I had not been soft-hearted and did not kill this guy, I would not have caused such a disaster and Zhengchun almost lost his life!"

"Forget it. If there is any fault, it is my fault. If I hadn't stayed in the family for half a day to rest, this wouldn't have happened. All I can say is that good things come to those who wait!"

Zhou Jiarui waved his hands and sighed, indicating that Zhou Jiacheng didn't need to blame himself anymore.

Then his face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "This matter will not be let go like this. Now that we know the origin of that guy, it won't be so easy for him to escape!"
