Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

At the same time.

At Black Dragon Mountain, by Black Dragon Lake, Chen Mo was holding a tablet and quickly browsing outside intelligence.

Little Jinbao squatted next to him, supervising him and occasionally directing him to modify his information.

"Here, Bird Master thinks we should add one more thing: the number one demon king in the skies of Black Dragon Mountain, with speed like lightning and extraordinary handsomeness."

Chen Mo's face was blank: "Brother Bird, writing too much of this kind of information will affect credibility."

Little Jinbao's eyes widened: "You're questioning Bird Master?"

Chen Mo quickly corrected himself: "No, I meant it could be written more naturally."

Xiao Jinbao was finally satisfied. Just then, a very popular video suddenly popped up on the tablet.

[Kaoshan Town, Nanjiang City, is being attacked by a horde of wild animals. We need help.]

Chen Mo paused, and Xiao Jinbao came over, asking, "What is it?"

Chen Mo opened the video, and soon the scene of the convenience store appeared on the screen. In the video, people kept crying out, banging on the door, and the low growls of wild animals.

Little Jinbao originally wanted to say something sarcastic.

Upon seeing the screams of those humans in the video, it immediately fell silent.

Chen Mo swallowed hard and whispered, "Nanjiang City was attacked by a beast tide, and those small towns have all fallen."

Little Jinbao, unusually, didn't argue. It looked towards the center of Black Dragon Lake and said, "Master, it seems like all these humans are really going to die."

Chu Zhou's consciousness fell on the video. He didn't say anything about pity, but just calmly watched the screen.

Xuanku put his hands together and whispered a Buddhist chant.

Seeing the bald man putting on airs, Chen Mo said disdainfully, "Hey monk, stop pretending to be so profound. All that compassionate air about you is utterly despicable. I hate you Buddhist monks, all that charades. Are you just thinking about your 108 wives?"

Xuan Ku blushed when Chen Mo exposed his thoughts, and said irritably, "Benefactor Chen, this is pure slander."

Chen Mo sneered: "Slander? Do you think I don't know you? Do you dare tell Lord Qinglian?"

Xuan Ku immediately backed down, realizing he was indeed unclean, but Chu Zhou didn't say anything.

After watching the video, he understood what had happened.

A beast tide broke out in Nanjiang City, and the Lingnan Mountains where it occurred were not within the restricted area under his control.

It seems that a high-level alien beast is behind this beast tide, launching an attack on humanity.

Looking deeper, this is also a test of humanity, and possibly a test of all the new forbidden zones in Lingnan.

After the second spiritual energy tide ended, the entire Kyushu region had changed.

The mountains and rivers expand, and the spiritual veins are revived.

The distance between the originally adjacent cities and mountainous areas has been artificially lengthened.

What used to be a day's walk on a mountain path may now take several days.

The overall area of ​​Kyushu has expanded nearly tenfold.

This is not simply a matter of the map getting bigger.

Instead, the ancient mountains, underground rifts, and hidden spiritual veins that were once silent were all squeezed out again.

The number of unclaimed sacred sites has surged, and herds of strange beasts have begun to migrate.

The transportation, defense, and communication systems that humans had originally established were all disrupted in a short period of time.

In this situation, the so-called 100-kilometer buffer zone is no longer as secure as before.

Chu Zhou and the Ninth Bureau initially agreed to maintain a balance within a 100-kilometer radius of Black Dragon Mountain because at that time, humans could still defend the outer perimeter. However, now, Nanjiang City has been impacted by the beast tide.

The Ninth Infantry and the garrison company in the neighboring city were both difficult to manage.

Therefore, Chu Zhou could no longer rely on human defenses to ensure the safety of Black Dragon Mountain.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhou said calmly, "It seems that the agreement with the Ninth Bureau of Humanity regarding the Hundred-Mile Forbidden Zone will have to be voided."

The Black Tiger King lowered its head: "Master, are you going to make a move?"

Chu Zhou said, "How many humans die is none of my business. However, since some people want to push the beast tide into the heart of Lingnan, they will inevitably clash with Black Dragon Mountain."

"Instead of doing that, we should take the initiative to expand, so that those strange beasts and the people behind them will understand that the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone is inviolable."

After these words were spoken, all the relatives around Black Dragon Lake were shaken to their core.

Chu Zhou continued, "From today onwards, the original 100-kilometer buffer zone of Black Dragon Mountain is abolished, and the outer boundary of the Qinglian Forbidden Zone will be expanded to 300 kilometers."

"Do not enter human cities, and do not attack ordinary people unprovoked."

"Any foreign beast, awakened human, or anyone who crosses the boundary of the rules without permission shall be considered an intruder."

"Intruder, kill."

A murderous glint appeared in the Black Tiger King's eyes, and he said in a deep, gruff voice, "Understood, subordinate."

Little Jinbao said, "Master, can I go catch more glowing bricks now?"

Chu Zhou said, "Okay."

Little Jinbao immediately became excited and said happily, "Alright, this time Bird Master will collect all those glowing bricks properly, so that all the brothers in our restricted area can have a glowing brick!"

Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this: the 300-kilometer-long line of discipline.

This means that the influence of the Qinglian Forbidden Zone will officially expand from the core area of ​​Heilong Mountain to the entire Lingnan Mountain Range.

What's even more terrifying is that Chu Zhou didn't expand recklessly like ordinary demonic beasts.

It has rules: it does not allow entry into the city, nor does it slaughter ordinary people; any force that trespasses into the restricted area will be directly eliminated.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo felt even more awe for Chu Zhou; the Azure Lotus Lord's intelligence was quite terrifying.

Remembering something, Chen Mo quickly pulled up a cached map of the Asta Group and respectfully said, "Lord Qinglian, the Asta Group previously marked an area in eastern Lingnan, which is not far from Nanjiang City."

He quickly operated the tablet. On the map, the eastern mountain range of Nanjiang City was circled in red, with a few lines of small text written next to it.

【Red Cloud Ridge】

[Psionic energy was abnormally enhanced after the second spiritual energy tide]

[Suspected existence of a high-level reptilian beast]

[Codename: Crimson Scale Target]

Black Tiger King whispered, "Master, Crimson Cloud Ridge is not far from the new boundary line of Black Dragon Mountain."

Chu Zhou said, "Since that's the case, then let's find out what kind of strange beast, Little Golden Treasure, is lurking in Crimson Cloud Ridge."

Little Jinbao quickly said, "Master."

Chu Zhou said, "Go to high altitudes to scout, but don't get close to the core of the beast tide. Find the guy behind the beast tide and come back to report."

Little Jinbao nodded and said, "Understood."

After saying that, it spread its wings and soared into the sky, transforming into a golden light that instantly disappeared into the night.

Chu Zhou continued to give the order: "Black Tiger King."

Black Tiger King bowed his head: "Master."

"Integrate the forces of Lingquan Valley, clear out the foreign beast groups that approach the disciplinary line, and if you encounter any strange beasts driven by the Demon King, take them in if you can, otherwise kill them without mercy."

Black Tiger King's eyes were icy cold as he replied, "Understood."

"Mountain King".

Upon hearing this, Shan Kui quickly stepped forward.

Chu Zhou said, "As for you, lead the Ape Valley warriors to guard the southwest mountain pass and prevent the beast tide from circling around to the back of Black Dragon Mountain."

After Shan Kui acknowledged with a "yes," he turned and left Black Dragon Lake with Black Tiger King.

Chu Zhou then gave Xuanjia further instructions, urging him to closely monitor the changes in the water veins, and also ordered Qingfeng to continue extending the vines.
