Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 191 Connecting with the Family, Another Unexpected Change [Please Subscribe]

The "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique proved as effective as Zhou Chun in escaping.

He escaped nearly a hundred miles in less than a quarter of an hour, thus completely escaping danger.

After quickly determining the direction, he released the Silver Lightning Python and let it carry him on his journey.

He quickly took the healing pills and the [Rejuvenation Pill] to slowly refine the medicinal power and recover his injuries and mana.

Actually, he wasn't seriously injured, because the one that attacked him was only a mid-grade second-tier silver-patterned jade spirit frog.

If his opponent hadn't launched a sneak attack, he might not have been injured.

Less than half a day after taking the healing pills, his internal injuries stabilized quickly and no longer affected his ability to fight.

When the Silver Lightning Python Bai Baifei got tired and wanted to rest, Zhou Chun put it into his spirit beast bag to rest, and then took over the journey himself.

Furthermore, he never stopped taking the [Rejuvenation Pill] to replenish his depleted mana as he traveled.

After traveling for more than ten hours, Zhou Chun finally arrived at the meeting place he had agreed upon with the clan leader, Zhou Daoyi.

He arrived at a large blue stone on the mountainside, took out the "Flying Dragon Snatcher," hooked it onto a protrusion on the top of the blue stone, and pulled hard. A large stone slab was pulled up, revealing a storage bag that had been pressed down inside.

Upon seeing the storage bag, Zhou Chun was overjoyed, knowing that his family had received the message he had sent back last time.

Then he put his storage bag, which contained a large amount of spiritual herbs, into the bag, covered it with the stone slab again, and checked it several times before leaving the place with peace of mind.

After leaving the contact point, Zhou Chun randomly found a deserted mountain and began to examine the things his family had given him.

Inside the storage bag were not only magical artifacts such as the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel] and the [Mysterious Spirit Golden Bell], but also seven second-tier magic talismans, two bottles of pills to improve cultivation, three bottles of demon spirit pills, and a letter left to him by the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

Zhou Chun first looked at the jade slip containing the information. In it, Zhou Daoyi mainly told him about the changes in the Zhou family's situation.

For example, Zhou Zhengyuan successfully established his foundation and refined the Demon Spirit Pill.

He was also instructed to act cautiously and not to take risks in order to gain merit.

"If Sixth Brother can successfully establish his foundation, then my undercover mission won't have been in vain!"

"As long as the family can obtain the Purple-Veined Golden Peaches and Sixth Brother continues to produce and refine Demon Spirit Pills, the strength of all the family elders will increase dramatically!"

"Now it all depends on whether I can complete this undercover mission as quickly as possible and successfully return to the family!"

After reading the information recorded in the jade slip in his hand, Zhou Chun smiled faintly.

Zhou Zhengyuan's successful Foundation Establishment and the successful refinement of the Demon Spirit Pill are undoubtedly a significant boost to the Zhou family's foundation.

If either the clan leader Zhou Daoyi or the third elder Zhou Daoquan can successfully open up the Purple Mansion, then the Zhou family will truly have a chance to revive.

Because Zhou Chun had refined several magical artifacts, including the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel], beforehand, he could use them immediately upon receiving them.

Therefore, he did not stay there for long. He rested for two hours and then returned to the Black Spear tribe.

With several handy magical artifacts in hand on the way back, Zhou Chun was much more relaxed than when he came. He injured and drove away the two second-tier demonic beasts that dared to attack him.

When he arrived at the rendezvous point he had agreed upon with Guo Chen and the others, it had been two and a half days since they had parted ways in the Black Spear tribe.

This naturally displeased Guo Chen, who was already waiting there.

So when he returned, she stared intently at him and demanded, "Instructor Zhou, what have you been doing? Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Zhou Chun was naturally prepared for this, and upon hearing this, he quickly explained, "Instructor Guo, please forgive me. After escaping from the Black Spear Tribe, I was so panicked that I ran into a second-tier high-grade demonic beast, the Earth-Splitting Bear, in the wilderness. I was chased for hundreds of miles before I was able to escape!"

"As you saw, Instructor Guo, that Zhou was already injured in the attack by the Silver-Striped Jade Spirit Frog, and was further injured by the Earth-Splitting Wild Bear. Therefore, after escaping the pursuit, he had to find a place to stabilize his injuries, which delayed his arrival!"

Is that really the case?

Guo Chen looked at Zhou Chun with suspicion in his eyes.

He felt that what Zhou Chun said was too coincidental, but he had no evidence to prove that Zhou Chun was lying.

Faced with his skepticism, Zhou Chun calmly replied, "If Instructor Guo doesn't believe me, I can take you to the place where I fought that Earth-Splitting Bear. You should still be able to see some traces of it, and you might even encounter it!"

Upon hearing this and seeing his calm and confident expression, Guo Chen was about 80% convinced.

Then he waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. As long as Instructor Zhou can return safely, I'll be at ease."

At this point, his face turned grim as he said, "With the loss of Instructors Wang and Pan, and the failure to collect a sufficient number of aquatic treasures, our mission has been a complete failure. What do you suggest we do next?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Zhou Chun and another instructor surnamed Wu.

Upon hearing this, Instructor Wu immediately suggested, "I believe we should first return to the branch altar and inform the Great Protector of this matter. The Black Spear Tribe has gained three more Silver-Striped Jade Spirit Frogs, something no one expected. The Great Protector shouldn't punish us for this!"

"Zhou also believed that it would be most appropriate to inform the Grand Protector about this matter first."

Zhou Chun nodded in agreement with Instructor Wu's point of view.

Although he didn't perform particularly well in this mission, he also didn't make any mistakes. Even if the mission fails, at most he won't get the reward, and he won't be punished like he was the first time.

However, Guo Chen did not respond immediately after hearing their words.

As Guan Cheng's confidant, Guo Chen naturally understood what kind of person Guan Cheng was.

The mission failed, which was certainly due to the appearance of the three Silver Jade Spirit Frogs, but Guo Chen, as the captain, definitely bears responsibility for poor command.

Even if he won't be punished because he is Guan Cheng's confidant, it will inevitably affect Guan Cheng's opinion of him, and may even cause him to distance himself.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice, "If we go back like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Great Protector. In my opinion, it would be better if we went to sweep through some small tribes and obtained more rare aquatic treasures before returning to report to the Great Protector."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Instructor Wu shook his head repeatedly and said, "Instructor Guo, I cannot agree with what you said. We are all injured now. What if we encounter another sudden incident like the Black Spear Tribe when we are sweeping through the small tribes?"

At this point, he glanced at Zhou Chun and said, "You should know that if it weren't for Instructor Zhou's foresight and advance planning of the retreat, it would have been difficult for us to reunite here after we scattered and fled!"

These words made Guo Chen's face darken, and he immediately didn't know how to refute them.

Clearly, the failure to plunder the Black Spear tribe had caused Instructor Wu to completely lose faith in him and had no intention of following his orders anymore.

At this opportune moment, Zhou Chun said, "The fact that a foreign tribe like the Black Spear Tribe can tame three Silver-Striped Jade Spirit Frogs must have a hidden story. If we report this matter promptly, and if our sect gains any benefits from the Black Spear Tribe afterward, it will be a merit rather than a demerit!"

After he finished speaking, Instructor Wu nodded repeatedly and said, "Instructor Zhou is right. I firmly believe that we should immediately return to the branch altar and report this matter to the Great Protector."

"Alright, let's go back and report this to the Grand Protector first!"

Guo Chen let out a long sigh, looking dejected, and had no choice but to agree to their request.

So the three of them immediately set off together and returned directly to the Golden Dragon branch altar.

After several days of travel, the three successfully returned to the Golden Dragon branch altar and reported the Black Spear tribe's affairs to the Great Protector Guan Cheng.

"What a useless piece of trash! He can't even handle something this simple!"

Inside the Golden Dragon Hall, after listening to Guo Chen's report on the mission, Guan Cheng's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked him without any mercy.

This reprimand made him tremble with fear, and he hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness, saying, "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Your Excellency!"

"Don't worry, you will receive all the punishments you deserve."

Guan Cheng gave him a cold glance, then waved his sleeve and said, "Go back and rest for today. Tomorrow, I, the Protector, will arrange for someone to take you to pacify that Black Spear tribe, giving you a chance to atone for your sins!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chun and the other two responded and immediately breathed a sigh of relief as they left the main hall.

The next day, Zhou Chun and his two companions, who had just rested, returned to the Golden Dragon Palace.

At this moment, besides the Grand Protector Guan Cheng, there was also a middle-aged man with a mustache wearing a golden robe in the hall.

Upon seeing this, the three hurriedly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your subordinates greet the Great Protector and the Fourth Protector."

After the three finished their greetings, the Grand Protector Guan Cheng looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Listen up, all three of you. Today, the Fourth Protector will lead you to pacify the Black Spear tribe. If you dare to cause any more trouble, don't blame me for punishing you according to the rules!"

"Yes, sir!"

The three of them obeyed in unison, and then left the Golden Dragon branch altar with the four guardians.

As one of the four protectors of the Golden Dragon Hall and a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage, the middle-aged man with the eight-character mustache tamed a second-tier flying demon beast, the Azure Winged Dragon Bat, which could carry four or five people.

Therefore, Zhou Chun and his group traveled much faster to the Dragon Abyss this time than before, arriving near the Black Spear Tribe in just over two days.

Upon arriving at the destination, the middle-aged man with the mustache put away the blue-winged dragon bat and then instructed Zhou Chun and the other two, "You can go ahead without worry. I will be there to support you from behind."

Judging from his words, he doesn't plan to make an appearance directly.

This made Zhou Chun and the other two feel uneasy and worried.

However, they dared not disobey the orders of the Four Protectors, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and appear together to attack the Black Spear Tribe.

Quack quack quack!

As the noisy croaking of frogs filled the air, the scaled frogs of the Black Spear tribe began their diving competition once again.

Soon, seven second-tier warlocks appeared together and immediately began casting spells to attack Zhou Chun and his companions without saying a word.

With seven against two, they held an absolute numerical advantage, and even without summoning the Silver-Patterned Jade Spirit Frog to join the battle, they were not afraid of Zhou Chun and his two companions at all.

Zhou Chun and the other two were also aware of this.

Therefore, none of the three dared to underestimate their opponents and were on high alert to deal with the attacks of the seven second-tier warlocks.

After exchanging blows for a while, perhaps having discovered something, the second-tier high-grade sorcerer shouted again and summoned three silver-patterned jade spirit frogs hidden in the water below.

However, Zhou Chun and his two companions were prepared this time. As soon as they sensed the movement underwater, they quickly put on full protective measures and distanced themselves.

Then, something shocking happened to the three of them.

First, a golden light descended from the sky, instantly shattering and piercing the head of a second-tier high-grade silver-patterned jade spirit frog.

Before the remaining two Silver Jade Spirit Frogs could react, a half-dragon, half-human figure covered in pale golden dragon scales swooped down from the sky, transforming into a golden light and landing on another second-tier high-grade Silver Jade Spirit Frog. With a swipe of its claws, it pierced through the body of this Silver Jade Spirit Frog, tearing it to shreds along with its heart, liver, spleen, and lungs!

quack!

The last silver-striped jade frog was terrified and let out a loud cry as it tried to dive into the water to escape.

But the half-dragon, half-human figure simply opened its mouth and spat out a golden rainbow that instantly struck its body, punching a large hole in its head.

In just a few breaths, all three Silver Jade Spirit Frogs were killed!

This scene not only stunned Zhou Chun and his two companions, but also terrified the second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog alien race.

When the half-dragon, half-human figure raised its head and looked at them, they immediately let out a loud "quack" and scattered in panic.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

A cold voice came from the half-dragon, half-human figure, who immediately chased after the second-tier high-grade sorcerer.

This person not only has the highest cultivation level, but also the fastest reaction time.

When the third silver-striped jade spirit frog died, it escaped into a cave.

Upon hearing the order from the half-dragon, half-human, Zhou Chun and his companions were immediately alarmed and quickly focused their attention on pursuing the fleeing second-tier sorcerer.

It's true what they say, the tables have turned. Those who were being hunted back then are now the ones being hunted.

However, while those second-tier sorcerers of the Scaled Frog race were not strong, they were quite adept at escaping.

In particular, they are all very good swimmers, and once they escape into the water, it is very difficult to catch them.

At this moment, Zhou Chun dared not reveal his magical artifacts such as the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel], so he could only rely on the help of the Silver Lightning Python to kill the two second-tier low-grade sorcerers.

Guo Chen and Instructor Wu each killed a second-tier sorcerer.

"Damn it, two of them got away!"

In mid-air, Guo Chen stared at the spot where the two second-tier sorcerers had disappeared into the water and couldn't help but curse out in anger.

He was hoping to kill two more second-tier warlocks to atone for his sins, but in the end he only got one kill.

But just as he was annoyed that two second-tier warlocks had escaped, a roar filled with shock and rage suddenly came from a cave in the mountain wall.

"That roar..."

In the sky, Zhou Chun and the other two changed their expressions and couldn't help but exchange glances. They all recognized the voice of the Fourth Protector.

Guo Chen immediately shouted with a determined expression, "Let's go! We must go help! The Four Protectors absolutely cannot be harmed!"

Without waiting for Zhou Chun and Instructor Wu's reaction, he immediately crawled into the cave from which the sound came.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and Instructor Wu exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Then they had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush into the cave with Guo Chen.

This is the second update today. Let's see if I can finish writing the first update tomorrow morning. I'll try to resume the normal update schedule of one update in the morning and one update in the evening the day after tomorrow!
