The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2920 Joining the Team

When Zhou Zixing looked up, he saw Qian Ying's gaze, which was not only looking at him, but also revealing a gloomy look.

My heart tightened and I thought to myself that something was wrong. Qian Ying had seen my hesitation just now, so she must have misunderstood me.

This is really helpless. If Chen Mo hadn't used some tricks to control him, how could he be so conflicted?

All of this is Chen Mo's fault.

However, he could not explain these things yet, so he could only say to Qian Ying: "Okay, Elder Qian, let's do as you say, I fully support you."

I thought to myself, this kind of thing wasn't my idea anyway, it was all Elder Qian's idea. So I hope Chen Mo won't have any opinion on me when the time comes.

Of course, he also thought about what he had specifically told himself when he and Chen Mo separated. No matter what he did, as long as he hadn't been told in advance, he should just do his best. So now there shouldn't be any problem in agreeing to Qian Ying.

When the meeting comes, just act according to circumstances. If Chen Mo wants to change something after knowing it, then we can talk about it then. After all, as a second-level innate warrior, he can't influence Qian Ying's thoughts.

Therefore, if Chen Mo wants to change Qian Ying's mind, he may need to take action himself.

Yes, that's it. Let's make this a happy decision.

"Okay, Elder Zhou, you and I will go back and look for the team first." Qian Ying nodded after hearing Zhou Zixing's answer.

Of course, Qian Ying would not express what she felt towards Zhou Zixing.

After the two of them had discussed it, they quickly headed towards the hills.

Although they didn't know where the team would be waiting for them, it was on the way they came. There was no other way in the whole valley, so they just had to go back.

The closer they got to the hilly nursery, the blurrier their vision became, and the temperature began to drop. Both of them were innate masters, so the drop in temperature didn't have much of an effect on them. As long as it wasn't minus 100 degrees, they wouldn't use their skills to resist the cold.

All the way to the hilly nursery, there were traces of blood and fighting. These bloodstains were left by the beasts when they exploded before dying and turned into spikes. All along the way, there were spikes on the roadside.

The two of them walked quickly towards the back for about an hour and finally saw the warrior.

"Two elders, I was arranged by Manager Qian to wait for you here." A warrior from the Qian family bowed and said immediately after seeing Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing.

At this moment, the visibility is about ten meters, and we haven't reached the hilly nursery yet. If we reach there, the visibility may only be three meters.

"Where are the others?" Qian Ying asked in a slightly softer tone when he saw his younger generation.

"Elder, everyone else is less than a hundred meters ahead, waiting for you two to come back." The warrior replied with a bow.

"Okay, take us there." Qian Ying said.

The distance of a hundred meters is very short. In just ten seconds, the three of them had arrived at the place where the team was resting.

When the two of them arrived, all the warriors who saw them breathed a sigh of relief.

The two innate masters were able to return safely without any injuries, which meant that the strange beast was repelled, or that the strange beast did not continue to pursue because of the low temperature environment.

The reason why they were all waiting here for the two innate masters was actually to see if the strange beasts would chase them. If they did, they would have to be prepared to continue running towards the hilly nursery.

Fortunately, the two innates returned safely, and everyone relaxed a little.

"Two elders, please sit down and have a rest. However, when we were retreating, the situation was urgent and we couldn't carry all the supplies. So if everything is safe, I will arrange for people to go to the canyon during the day and bring back all the supplies." Qian Wantong was very happy after seeing Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing.

However, there was no way to get some water to the two elders, so he could only explain awkwardly.

Moreover, because of the attack by the alien beasts this time, there will still be resistance when we want to go to the canyon to retrieve the supplies during the day. After all, no one knows whether the alien beasts will attack during the day. If we arrange for people to go there and they are attacked by the alien beasts while they are packing up, then the people who go there may not be able to come back.

However, those supplies really cannot be discarded. No matter what happens next, supplies are crucial.

Although warriors are able to withstand hunger and cold, having supplies and not having supplies are two different concepts.

So, Qian Wantong said this, in fact, he also wanted to find out, did those strange beasts really retreat, or did they not want to step into the cold area and retreat temporarily? When Qian Ying heard Qian Wantong's words, he also waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, those strange beasts will not chase us for the time being, and they will not appear for the time being." Turning to Qian Wantong, he said again, "Qian Wantong, you go to each family team first and inform them that now the conditions are simple, so let everyone hold on for a while, and it will be much better during the day. In addition, after two hours, you call all the family leaders over, I will prepare to hold a meeting."

Qian Wantong nodded first and said, "Okay, Elder."

After agreeing, he was about to turn around to arrange things when he bowed again and asked, "Well, Elder, when are we going to get our supplies, or should I arrange it?"

We can't do without supplies, after all, the current environment is changeable, and there is little food to be found. Warriors are generous people, and if supplies are scarce, it may shake the whole team's mind. Therefore, Qian Wantong wanted to confirm that it was Elder Qian who would leave the matter to himself.

"Let's talk about this when we meet. After all, it's just a matter of a few words, but each family should contribute. After all, we have to get back the supplies, otherwise we won't be able to hold out for long without them." Although Qian Ying believed that without supplies, he would not have any problem going without food or water for ten days or half a month, as long as he had the innate power, he would be able to reduce his need for food and water.

However, this matter concerns the entire team, and it is not something that can be represented by just the two innate masters. The two of them could not drink water or eat for ten days or half a month, but other warriors could not do that. Even if they did so, before they could hold on, some warriors might rebel.

So, let’s discuss it at the meeting.

In addition, getting the supplies back not only involves each family, but the supplies may also be scattered and require manpower to clean up.

Another thing is that it is now judged that the strange beast may have retreated, but whether it has retreated into the canyon or is still lingering above the canyon is still unknown, and it requires people to investigate before it can be confirmed.

Everything needs to be discussed with other family leaders, so let’s talk about it later.

Seeing Qian Wantong taking orders and leaving, Zhou Zixing stopped sitting and said to Qian Ying, "Elder Qian, since you are back now and the meeting will be held in two hours, I will check on my side first and come back in two hours."

Qian Ying naturally would not stop him and nodded in agreement.

He watched Zhou Zixing and the Zhou family warriors leave, but his eyes followed them. There was a lot of gloom and intent in their gazes.

Although Zhou Zixing didn't know Qian Ying was watching him from behind, he could sense it. However, he didn't look back. After meeting Zhou Ke and Zhou Mei, he went to his own team.

Today, because of Chen Mo, Qian Ying might feel alienated from me, but there is nothing I can do about it, so this is the only way.

Anyway, it was impossible for him to find a balance between the two. Once Chen Mo stood up and ordered him to resist Qian Ying, he would have to obey. There was no other way. He was controlled by others and could not resist. As long as he wanted to live, he could only do what Chen Mo wanted.

But what Zhou Zixing didn't know was that when he left Qian Ying and returned to the family team, and began to sit there to recover his strength, something quietly floated out from the back of his neck and left quietly. No one, including Zhou Zixing himself, saw or felt this.

On the other side, when Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Min retreated, they both suffered minor injuries, but it was not a big problem. It was just because the spikes broke through the blood defense and injured the skin.

Even the wound was not that big, and there was not much bleeding. Using the hemostatic powder, the bleeding of the wound almost stopped, and after an hour or two, the wound would be healed. After all, the hemostatic powder was a good thing second only to the pills. It was very effective in stopping bleeding and recovering from external injuries. In the martial arts world, it was a common medicine for martial artists.

After the two returned, they didn't say anything. They healed their wounds and restored their energy.

Some time after the two returned, Qian Zhou and his companion also returned.

When he received the message, Chen Mo was resting and eating with Ouyang Ruoxi.

That's right, he, Ouyang Ruoxi, and Ouyang Nana were eating, and of course, they also left some for Ouyang Nan. But after Ouyang Nan came back, because his own Qi and blood were greatly depleted, he began to practice Qigong to recover after healing, and did not eat or drink.

The fact that the three people had food and water was naturally thanks to Chen Mo.

When the strange beasts suddenly attacked and everyone rushed to support the Qian and Zhou families, Chen Mo packed up his backpack and all his belongings and carried them on his back.

After all, Chen Mo returned late and did not use his own things, but those prepared by the Ouyang family.

So when the strange beasts attacked, it was just a matter of convenience.

Besides, most of his stuff was actually in his Qiankun bag. Although his backpack looked bulging, it didn't have much stuff in it. If he wanted something, the backpack was just a cover, and he would take it out of his Qiankun bag.

The three of them ate and drank quietly, and they would not do it openly. The main reason was that everyone else was just holding on, practicing Qigong to recover, and waiting for dawn.

Fortunately, everyone was inside the low-temperature barrier, and the visibility was low due to thick fog, so no one would see us even if we were far away.

While Chen Mo and the other two were eating and drinking, he felt that Lan Caijie seemed to leave Zhou Zixing and come towards him, so he said something to Ouyang Ruoxi, then quickly walked to a farther place and waited for Lan Caijie to come over.
