Chapter 250 Bear's Death, Decisive Battle [Subscribe]

Because of Lin Hongyu's warning, the three core senior members of the Zhou family, who had just won a glorious victory, were now shrouded in a shadow.

In order to prevent more people from worrying, Zhou Mingde did not let the fourth Zhou family cultivator know about this matter. He also did not explain Zhou Daoyi's sudden departure to Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Jiahe who witnessed the scene.

Even though Zhou Jiahe and the other two were full of doubts, they did not dare to take the initiative to ask when they saw that the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde had no intention of explaining.

All along, the elders of the Zhou family knew that Zhou Mingde, Zhou Daoyi, and Zhou Chun must be doing something secretive from them.

Although they may occasionally feel curious about this, no one will really go and find out just to satisfy their curiosity.

Because they all knew in their hearts that since this matter was going to be kept secret from them, they would definitely not be told.

If you inquire about it privately, it may cause misunderstandings and affect family unity.

At the same time, they all believed that no matter what Zhou Mingde and the other two were hiding from them, their starting point was definitely for the good of the family.

So the group of four set out again to clear out the rebellious monsters.

The four people who were supposed to act together were now divided into three teams. Zhou Mingde and Zhou Chun each formed a separate team, while Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Jiapeng formed another team.

In name, this was done to improve cleaning efficiency, but in reality it was done to disperse the danger because of Lin Hongyu's warning.

In the next two or three days, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde were worried every day. They couldn't concentrate on clearing out the monsters at all, so they completely left this task to their spirit pets.

The two of them would communicate with their family through Eagle Message every day, and they would be extremely nervous every time they received an Eagle Message from their family.

Fortunately, after two or three days, the eagle messages sent by the family were all normal, and the few people who came out did not encounter any attacks from the earth-turning dragons.

This means that the danger should have passed, at least there is no danger on their side.

On this day, when Zhou Chun was flying over a mountain city, he discovered several first-level monsters wreaking havoc in the city.

He immediately descended from the sky and used his power to kill all the rebellious beasts.

But just after he finished doing this and was about to leave, suddenly a teenager of about eleven or twelve years old rushed up to him and knelt down in front of him.

"Senior, you have great magical powers. Please save my master. As long as you can save my master's life, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse in this life to thank you for your kindness!"

The young man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Chun repeatedly. There was a weak aura of magic power on his body. It turned out that he was also a cultivator with the cultivation level of the second level of Qi Refining Stage.

When Zhou Chun saw that his forehead was broken after just a few hits, he was slightly moved and touched by his filial piety.

He immediately felt a little compassion for him and said to him, "Stand up and talk first. What happened to your master? Was he injured or poisoned? Internal or external injuries?"

Hearing his words, the young man raised his head and looked at him and replied, "Senior, please understand. My master was injured by a monster while trying to rescue civilians. The monster that injured him was a dog monster. Before my master passed out, he said that the dog monster's claws were poisonous!"

"Okay, then take Zhou to see your master."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and signaled the young man to lead the way.

"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior!"

While thanking him, the young man raised his sleeve to cover the wound on his forehead and strode forward to lead the way.

After following him for a distance in the city, Zhou Chun arrived at a small courtyard where people were confined.

Arriving at the yard, Zhou Chun swept his spiritual sense around and soon found a white-haired old man lying on the bed in one of the bedrooms. He looked weak and lifeless, as if he would die at any time.

Sure enough, the young man quickly led him to the bedroom, then pushed open the door and said to the old man lying on the bed, "This is it. Senior, please look. On the bed is our master, Mo Renyi. The Mo means "goodness is great", the Ren means "benevolence is righteousness", and the Yi means "doctor".

"Doctor Mo Ren, this name is quite good."

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, then stepped forward and placed his hand on the old man's chest, transferring a trace of his magic power to check on his internal condition.

After a while, he nodded and said, "There is still hope."

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out two different jade bottles, and then poured out a pill from each of them and handed them to the young man.

"These two pills, one can eliminate the toxins in his body, and the other can replenish his lost vitality. Help him take them with warm water. He should be able to wake up within three days."

Without waiting for the boy to react, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, Zhou has to go to other places to slay demons and eliminate evil, so I won't stay here any longer."

As he turned and walked away, the young man hurriedly shouted, "Senior, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. Please leave your name so that I can explain to my master!"

"Jiufengling Zhou family, Zhou Zhengchun."

Zhou Chun's voice slowly floated in the courtyard, but he had already taken off into the sky.

From beginning to end, he never cared about what the young man said about repaying his gratitude.

He rescued people only because he was grateful for the young man's filial piety and admired the old man's benevolent spirit of fighting with monsters to save mortals.

Therefore, he didn't even ask the boy's name.

Zhou Chun really didn't take this matter to heart and soon put this little thing out of his mind.

Three days later, Zhou Chun received good news that the third elder Zhou Daoquan, who had been missing for many days, had successfully returned to the gate of Jiufengling Mountain.

After learning about this, Zhou Chun hurried back to his family to meet him.

But when he saw Zhou Daoquan inside the mountain gate, he found that although there were no visible injuries on the other party, he was in a very low mood and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes.

This made him feel depressed, and he hurriedly asked about his experiences in the past few days.

Facing Zhou Chun's question, Zhou Daoquan did not hide anything and directly answered in a low voice: "The front-line stronghold fell, and I was separated from the clan leader and others. I could only break out and escape alone."

“Just when I was trying to break out and escape, a third-level monster suddenly attacked me, and the Earth Armor Bear sacrificed its life to block the attack for me!”

"Later, I was chased by two second-level high-quality monsters. They chased me so hard that I fled into the wilderness and hid from them for several days."

"I came back so late because I took a long detour and used up all the [Returning Yuan Pills] I had with me. Now I can only wait for the injured Zhu Yanhe to recover!"

Just with these few short sentences, Zhou Daoquan explained the reason for his low mood.

Because his pet died!

I dare not say all of them, but most of the Zhou family cultivators have deep feelings for the spirit pets they have raised since childhood, and many people treat them as family members. Zhou Daoquan's earth-armored bear has been with him for more than a hundred years. It is his first spirit pet. The relationship between them can be said to be as close as brothers.

And the Earth Armored Bear died to save him.

This kind of loss is something that no one can help but feel sad about.

Zhou Chun was also a person who had tamed a spirit pet, so he understood Zhou Daoquan's feelings very well at this moment.

He also felt the same pain in his heart and felt sad and regretful for the dead earth armored bear.

The earth-armored bear had once loyally guarded him, and had fought alongside him many times during the Southern Expedition.

Unexpectedly, the battle of Jinji Mountain would be their last time fighting side by side!
At this time, he could only comfort Zhou Daoquan in a heavy tone: "Xiong Shan is indeed a rare loyal guard. His death is the biggest loss of the family in this war. Third Elder, please accept my condolences!"

"Xiongshan" is the name Zhou Daoquan gave to the earth-armored bear. Basically, every cultivator in the Zhou family will give a name to his or her spiritual pet.

"Hey! I'm in a really bad mood right now. I'm afraid I can't do anything for the family in the short term. Zhengchun, please help me talk to the Grand Elder!"

Zhou Daoquan sighed, looking quite disheartened.

Then he returned to his Fei Shi Peak and recuperated his injuries.

He can only slowly get over the pain of losing his loved ones on his own, and no one else can help him.

Moreover, Zhou Chun did not have much time to comfort him now, as he had to continue running around to clear out the monsters that were causing trouble.

Two days later, considering that most of the monsters in Lanzhou had been wiped out, a new order came from Qinglian Temple, mobilizing Zhou Mingde and other Purple Mansion cultivators to go to the front line in Yunzhou, as if preparing for another big battle with the main force of the beast tide there.

In fact, looking back at previous wars of beast invasion, the wars never lasted very long.

Because for the beast tide, the food supply of so many monsters every day is a big problem.

Many times the solution to the food problem is to let the living monsters eat the corpses of dead monsters. For this reason, they will keep attacking the strongholds of human monks.

Then it starts to devour mortals and the livestock and animals they raise.

However, as long as the beast tide does not go deep into the heart of Jingguo, there will not be many mortals that it can devour nearby, and it is not worth going too far just to eat some mortals.

Therefore, the high-level monsters that launched the beast tide will inevitably keep the beast tide attacking, or break through the human coalition's defense line, rush into the human heartland and wreak havoc, and feast on the flesh and blood of ordinary humans.

Otherwise, they can only rely on attack to consume the weak cannon fodder, allowing the remaining monsters to eat the corpses of their own dead monsters to restore their strength.

Precisely because they knew that the beast tide had this kind of intractable flaw, the human coalition forces in the past had always defended their strongholds and fortresses, using formations to continuously consume the beast tide's manpower and blunt its edge.

But this time is different from the past.

This beast tide did not receive the full support of the entire Longyuanze demon clan, and its scale was far smaller than previous beast tides.

At the same time, the Dragon Transformation Cult was behind this beast tide, and it had already taught the three major sects of Jingguo a severe lesson in Lanzhou.

Under such circumstances, the three major sects of Jingguo did not want to drag the situation on any longer, fearing that if they did, the Hualong Sect would come up with some conspiracy and tricks, making the situation even more uncontrollable.

However, after Zhou Mingde was ordered to enter the front line of Yunzhou, he soon went to the Fulong stronghold which was surrounded by the beast tide together with the monks who came from all over.

The Fulong stronghold was a solid fortress built by the three major sects of the Jingguo Kingdom, led by the Qinglian Temple. It took more than ten years to build.

It stood firmly at the front line of defense like a reef during the beast tide attack.

If it is not broken, the high-level monsters behind the beast tide will not dare to allow the beast tide to penetrate deep into the heart of Yunzhou and wreak havoc.

Because they also know that once the beast tide begins to spread and wreak havoc, it will be difficult for them to gather those scattered monsters together.

By then, the monks from the Fulong stronghold will attack from behind, and the monsters will undoubtedly be defeated under the pincer attack from both sides.

Therefore, before breaking through the Fulong stronghold, the beast tide would at most split into small groups to harass the hinterland of Yunzhou, forcing the Jingguo Alliance to use more personnel to clear out those small groups of beasts and weaken the defense of the Fulong stronghold.

At this time, the number of monsters besieging the Fulong stronghold reached hundreds of thousands!

When Zhou Mingde arrived at the outskirts of the Fulong stronghold with the reinforcement team, he looked up and saw densely packed monsters of all kinds standing or lying in the mountains, many of which had obvious wounds on their bodies.

Further ahead, near the Fulong stronghold, various magical lights were flashing continuously.

Since the siege of the Fulong stronghold began, the beast tide army has never stopped attacking the stronghold, and they have been launching fierce attacks on the stronghold in rotation every day.

However, the stronghold has always stood firm and has never been entered by any monster or beast.

As if they had sensed the arrival of reinforcements, a large number of spells suddenly erupted from the stronghold and blasted outward, instantly killing a large number of monsters that were approaching and attacking.

Immediately, dozens of figures flew out from the stronghold and rushed towards the reinforcements.

When the high-level monsters in the beast tide and the monks of the Dragon Transformation Sect saw this, they naturally refused to allow them to easily bring the reinforcements into the stronghold, and quickly rushed out to intercept them.

Just like that, after a fierce fighting outside, Zhou Mingde and his reinforcement team successfully entered the Fulong stronghold at the cost of several casualties.

When he arrived at the Fulong stronghold, Zhou Mingde quickly saw Zhou Daoyi who was already there, as well as those Qi-refining cultivators of the Zhou family who had retreated here before the beast tide arrived.

Now, it is basically certain that all the twenty or so Qi-refining cultivators of the Zhou family in Lanzhou have died.

Therefore, nothing must happen to these Qi Refining cultivators in Yunzhou, otherwise the Zhou family will be in an embarrassing situation with no one available for the next twenty to thirty years, which will be greatly detrimental to the family's development.

After meeting and comforting the Qi Refining cultivators of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingde looked at Zhou Daoyi with a serious expression and said, "Everything has returned to normal in the family now, and Daoquan has also returned to the family. Now it all depends on us. As long as we can win, the most difficult period of the family will be over!"

Hearing that Zhou Daoquan had returned safely, Zhou Daoyi was relieved, and then he said solemnly: "The decisive battle here should be about to begin. I met with Senior Li a few days ago, and he hinted that there might be a big action next!"

"Then you and I have to be more careful, and don't let anything happen again at a time like this!"

Zhou Mingde nodded slightly and immediately began to prepare for the battle.

Sure enough, two days after Zhou Mingde and his reinforcements entered the Fulong stronghold, Liu Yiping, who had been stationed in the Fulong stronghold, issued an order to counterattack.

On that day, more than thirty Jindan-stage cultivators and nearly two hundred Zifu-stage cultivators broke out of the Fulong stronghold together, and together with the Feng Kingdom reinforcements that came from outside, attacked from both inside and outside, and launched a decisive battle with the high-level monsters in the beast tide.
