The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2918 I have an idea

Zhou Zixing and Qian Ying quickened their pace and moved quickly towards the hilly nursery.

No one expected that after being chased by strange beasts during the day and having to leave the hilly nursery in a hurry, they are now back here again. It is really unpredictable.

No one expected that the low temperature environment would allow them to avoid attacks from strange beasts. Perhaps this is the significance of the hilly nursery here.

Although the strange beast retreated, Qian Ying was still feeling a little worried at the moment.

He had not expected to encounter these strange beasts in the canyon, and there were so many of them, as if they were endless and could not be killed. Therefore, he had no idea what the next plan for the entire expedition team should be. Maybe he could find everyone to discuss and find a solution.

Across the canyon, there are numerous buildings stacked one on top of the other. There are definitely treasures and unexpected things there. The expedition team has come here, and they would not be satisfied if they don't go and take a look.

In addition, the team did not find too many medicinal herbs and treasures. Now they have arrived at the door of the treasure. As long as they cross the canyon and walk forward not far, they should enter the building complex.

It can be said that nine and a half of the Ten Pavilions have been completed, and only this final step is left. However, the strange beasts in the canyon have become the biggest obstacle. How can we break the impasse?

After thinking about it, Qian Ying finally came up with a solution, but this solution required Zhou Zixing's cooperation.

Originally, the two were running quickly in the valley, but Qian Ying suddenly called out to stop and stopped.

"Elder Qian, what's wrong?" Zhou Zixing was still thinking in his heart whether his team was doing well, whether there would be any casualties, etc., but he didn't expect to be distracted by Qian Ying.

"There are some things I want to talk to you about first."

"What's the matter? Can't we talk about it after we meet other people?"

"No, I'd better not discuss this matter with you alone in private. I can discuss it with others later."

"Okay, you talk." Zhou Zixing was also a little curious. Why couldn't some things be said to other people later, but had to be discussed by the two of them now?

"Do you think it will be easy to deal with the strange beasts that attacked tonight?" Qian Ying asked.

Zhou Zixing thought for a moment and replied, "It's very difficult! The alien beasts are actually very easy to kill, but there are too many of them, and there are also those alien beast leaders and their guards, so it's very difficult to deal with them. Even if you and I join forces, we are no match for the alien beasts. Just like just now, if the alien beasts hadn't retreated, and we continued to fight with them, you and I might have been injured, or even..."

He did not continue to speak, after all, the ending was different from what he thought, maybe he would die in the end, but Qian Ying would be able to survive. After all, Qian Ying's strength was one level higher than his, so if Qian Ying was really desperate, it would be no problem for him to run away.

Just like when they were on the hilly nursery and surrounded by strange beasts, Qian Ying just left directly, and he could only find a way to leave from another place.

If I hadn't been lucky, I might not be standing in front of Qian Ying now, but would have died near the hills.

Thinking of the strange beast in the hilly nursery, I thought of Chen Mo again. If this young man fights the strange beast tonight, will he win?

Thinking back to the first time he met Chen Mo, the young man was slaughtering without restraint. Yes! He was slaughtering those strange beasts, which really surprised him.

But what happened later made him even more depressed. After all, the fate of a congenital master like him was actually controlled by a young man. It was really shameful for his ancestors.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret. It would have been better if I had not gone through that place at that time.

Qian Ying was still waiting for Zhou Zixing to continue, but she didn't expect that Zhou Zixing didn't even finish his words, but just lost consciousness. What was he thinking?
"Elder Zhou, Elder Zhou?" Qian Ying called out softly.

"Ah! Oh, Elder Qian."

“You just…?”

"Oh, I suddenly thought of something and became a little absent-minded unconsciously." Zhou Zixing hadn't revealed anything yet, but he felt a numb sensation on the back of his neck. This was really weird. He hadn't revealed anything that shouldn't have been revealed, so why did he feel uncomfortable?
Fortunately, the feeling was very mild and had no effect, it was just like a reminder to him.

So Zhou Zixing could only change the subject and asked, "Elder Qian, where were we just talking about?"

"Oh, let's talk about whether the strange beast is easy to deal with."

"Ah, yes, yes, these beasts are very difficult to deal with. This applies to you and me. The number of these beasts and the ability of the leader are really beyond our expectations." Zhou Zixing said. "Yes, so now we have a problem." Qian Ying said.

"Problem, what problem?"

"Now, we have come here and encountered these strange beasts, but we have no means to deal with them. So, should we continue moving forward or retreat?" Qian Ying said.

"Continue, or retreat?" Zhou Zixing had no answer for a moment after hearing this. Yes, what should he do next? Thinking about the road he had taken, it was also full of difficulties and dangers. After going through so many dangers, he finally got here, but he couldn't go on. What should he do?
"But during the day, you can already see the canyon and the buildings on the other side of the canyon," Qian Ying said.

"Yes, I saw it. Looking from this side of the canyon, although the details are not clear, I can vaguely feel that those buildings should be relatively important places in this valley." Zhou Zixing said.

Qian Ying nodded and said, "Just like what I guessed, I feel that this valley is more important, or even the final point of the valley. And in those buildings, we should be able to find good things, even the medicinal herbs we want."

"So, we should go there and take a look, maybe we can gain a lot. But what is blocking our way is the strange beast that attacked us tonight?" Zhou Zixing asked.

"That's right. If we continue to move forward, will these strange beasts appear again to stop us? If we don't move forward, our gains will be too small. We will only find some not-too-rare medicinal herbs, and it may be difficult to return the same way." Qian Ying thought of the ants he met in the Great Rift Valley. He really didn't want to meet these ants again.

In addition to the ants, there are other dangers encountered on the way, which are really very dangerous.

So, should we continue forward, or turn around and go back along the original route? Zhou Zixing began to ask in his heart, but there was no specific answer.

There are only two choices, it feels so difficult.

"Elder Zhou, we didn't have time to take the things we found before when we retreated this time, so they should still be in the Death Camp. We don't know if all the things will be destroyed by those strange beasts, so we need to go back and check. Maybe those things are still there and have not been destroyed. Maybe those things have been destroyed by the strange beasts. By then, we will not have any good things, and it will be a waste to return like this." Qian Ying's eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking of.

Zhou Zixing felt heartbroken when he thought about the medicinal herbs his team had collected. He had never thought that the herbs he had collected with so much effort would be destroyed by strange beasts. It would be a waste of so many people, and there would be no benefit at all. His heart ached at the thought.

"So, you want to move on?" Zhou Zixing asked.

Qian Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I want to keep going."

"But how do we deal with those strange beasts?" Zhou Zixing asked.

There is no problem in moving forward, especially the buildings on the other side of the canyon. There should be good things inside.

However, if the strange beast in the canyon appears again, how should we deal with it?
"I have an idea and I want to discuss it with you first, so that when the time comes, we can call other family leaders over to discuss it together and reach a better consensus." Qian Ying said.

The plan he had thought of earlier required Zhou Zixing's cooperation, so he should let him know first, so that it would be easier to discuss with the others when they met.

After all, there are only two innate masters in the team now. As long as Zhou Zixing nods, other families should not object.

Seeing that Zhou Zixing was waiting for his explanation, he lowered his head and briefly explained his plan.

"Based on the strange beasts that attacked us tonight and their eventual departure, I have a few guesses. One is that these strange beasts may be nocturnal species, which is why they attacked us at night. During the day, we arrived at the canyon and stayed there from day to night, without encountering any strange beasts. This means that strange beasts should not appear during the day but at night. Second, there are so many strange beasts, but they only appear here in the canyon. We have never encountered them on the way here. This means that there are hills on this side of the canyon that block the low temperature, and there should also be some kind of barrier on the other side of the canyon, otherwise there would not be so many of these strange beasts here in the canyon."

Zhou Zixing frowned, thought about it and said, "What you said makes sense, but it's all uncertain. Just because we didn't see them during the day, we can't be sure that these strange beasts won't appear during the day. And there's no guarantee that there will be a place to stop the strange beasts in the canyon."

"Yes, you said it. So if we continue to move forward, someone must explore the way first. After we understand the situation clearly, we can make a better decision whether to move forward or go back." Qian Ying said.

"This..." Zhou Zixing was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

If you want to explore the way, then someone has to step forward, but who is the right person? This is a problem, and this kind of exploration is very dangerous, it can be said that it is a life-or-death situation.

"So, I want to set up an expedition team, let them cross the canyon, explore the situation, and then we will decide whether to move forward or turn back." Qian Ying said.

What? They want to form an expedition team? Zhou Zixing was immediately confused.

Just now I was thinking about choosing one person to explore the way, who would stand up. Now they are talking about forming an expedition team, who would agree to this? No one is stupid, going there is an act of seeking death, how could anyone stand up?
