Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 195 Returning to the Family [Please Subscribe]

On an unnamed island.

Meanwhile, since Zhou Chun separated from Lu Ran, he had been diligently cultivating on an unnamed island.

Before Lu Ran left, he told him that high-level demonic beasts in Longyuanze generally do not come to the waters of the nameless island, but there is no guarantee that there will be an unexpected existence that comes by chance.

Therefore, it was best for him not to leave the island and go into the water.

Zhou Chun also kept this in mind. He usually spent his time meditating and cultivating his secret techniques on the island, or teasing the Golden-Winged Tiger.

In order to avoid being disturbed by the monsters on the island, he also released the Silver Lightning Python to guard the cave, as if he had taken over its nest.

Although it is still in a weakened state, the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai still possesses the aura of a second-tier demon beast, and with Zhou Chun's help, no demon beast on the island dares to come and provoke it.

After nearly a year of secluded cultivation on the island, Zhou Chun, having made great progress in his cultivation of the "Flowing Light Golden Rainbow" secret technique, decided to leave.

The amount of special spiritual power within him that allows him to unleash the "Golden Rainbow of Flowing Light" is now nearly half more than it was a year ago. This means that if he were to use the "Golden Rainbow of Flowing Light" to escape again, he could fly more than a hundred miles away.

With this trump card for escaping, and with the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai having recovered and passed through its period of weakness, Zhou Chun felt he could go back.

So, on a bright and sunny morning, Zhou Chun left the nameless island where he had lived for more than a year and set off towards the mainland.

He did not choose to fly high in the sky, as that would be too conspicuous and might bring him unnecessary trouble.

Instead, they chose to travel by riding on the water.

On the vast expanse of blue water, a thin silver line cleaved through the waves at breakneck speed, like a silver lightning bolt.

But Longyuanze is Longyuanze after all. The number and strength of the monsters inside are far greater than those in Biyanze, which Zhou Chun had previously explored.

More than a year ago, Lu Ran was able to travel freely inside with him because Lu Ran's aura as a third-tier expert could intimidate those second-tier demonic beasts, preventing them from blocking the way and attacking.

Bai Bai, being only a second-tier low-grade demon beast, obviously did not have this ability.

After Zhou Chun rode it for a distance on the water, he was attacked by a monster in the water.

The monsters regarded Bai Bai and Zhou Chun on its back as their prey.

However, as long as Zhou Chun and Bai Bai don't encounter a third-tier monster, it's almost impossible for them to fail.

Any monsters that dared to attack them were either injured and driven away, or killed on the spot.

In just half a day, Zhou Chun and Bai Bai could already see the outline of the mainland in the distance.

At this moment, Zhou Chun changed his order, instructing Bai Bai to swim along the shore in the water, without any intention of going ashore.

He wasn't sure if any of the Golden Dragon Hall's protectors were still lying in wait on the shore. If they were, it would be dangerous for him to go ashore now.

So he wanted to test the waters.

About a day after Zhou Chun left that nameless island, in a Dragon Transformation Sect settlement about a thousand miles away from the old site of the Black Spear Tribe, the three protectors of the Golden Dragon Hall, during their daily routine of casting spells and sensing, suddenly sensed that the target that had never moved had now moved to another direction.

"Finally couldn't hold it in any longer, huh?"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the third protector, and he immediately followed his senses and left the settlement, heading towards the direction of his target.

Since the four protectors died unexpectedly in the Scaled Frog tribe a year ago, and learned that there was still a survivor, Li Tianxing, the leader of the Golden Dragon Hall, sent the third protector to a stronghold near the Black Spear tribe to keep watch and use magic to sense the survivor's life and location every day.

The fact that a mere missing envoy would cause a dignified Dharma Protector to abandon everything and come to guard him was, in the eyes of the Three Dharma Protectors, an insult.

However, he dared not have any objections to Li Tianxing, the hall master, so he directed his anger at the target he was waiting for.

Once he catches that guy, he'll make sure he knows what death means!

On the other side, Zhou Chun and the Silver Lightning Python continued along the shore, encountering numerous attacks from aquatic monsters along the way.

On two occasions, he was even forced to risk fleeing to the mainland, and even suffered serious external injuries in the process.

Even so, he did not change his plan and still let Bai Bai carry him forward in the water.

On the third day after leaving the island, when they were less than a thousand miles from the entrance to the underground river, the thing Zhou Chun had been worried about finally happened.

Because he didn't have to exert any effort to walk, he was always on guard, keeping an eye out for everything around him.

He had been keeping an eye on the situation in the sky in the direction of the mainland when he saw a golden rainbow flying rapidly from the depths of the mainland toward Longyuanze.

This caused his expression to change. He hurriedly put Bai Bai into his spirit beast bag, and then activated the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique, transforming into a golden rainbow and fleeing into the depths of Dragon Abyss.

"Such fast escape techniques! Who is that person?"

The three guardians of the Golden Dragon Hall in the sky watched the golden rainbow disappear into the distance above the water, and they were quite surprised.

He had no idea which other instructor in the Golden Dragon Hall possessed such a powerful flying technique.

However, with the target right in front of him, he had no reason to give up, so he gritted his teeth and chased after it into the Dragon Abyss Marsh.

However, after chasing for nearly a quarter of an hour and covering over a hundred miles, he still saw the golden rainbow ahead stop, and he was filled with shock and anger.

The Dragon Abyss Marsh is no safe place. Even Li Tianxing, the Golden Dragon Hall Master, was unwilling to risk his life to venture deep into it a year ago, which shows how wary he was of this region.

The three protectors of the Golden Dragon Hall were well aware of the dangers involved.

Therefore, at this point, I started to have second thoughts.

But thinking of his more than a year of waiting, he steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and continued to chase after them.

As a result of this pursuit, something really happened!

He chased Zhou Chun for more than two hundred miles into the Dragon Abyss, and was about to catch up with Zhou Chun, who was descending at high speed.

Suddenly, a powerful aura rose from the water below, and then a strange, dark blue-black fish, several dozen feet long, flew out of the water.

The strange fish looked like a black fish, but it had a long blue horn and its tail was more like a dragon's tail.

Without a doubt, this is a dragon-born demon beast, and a third-tier one at that!

After it flew out of the water, it immediately opened its mouth and spat out a ball of bluish-black spiritual light, which blasted towards the third protector.

At the same time, with a flick of its tail, a strange bluish-black wind swept towards Zhou Chun.

The strange wind came extremely fast and suddenly, and Zhou Chun didn't have time to summon his magic weapon to defend himself. He could only hurriedly activate the "Golden Cauldron Mystic Light" to protect himself.

But how powerful is the attack of a third-tier demonic beast!

Even though the strange bluish-black wind that swept towards Zhou Chun was just a casual strike, it was still something that Zhou Chun, who was only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, could not withstand.

In an instant, Zhou Chun's protective golden light was blown away by the strange wind, and he was also blown dozens of feet away, falling heavily into the water below.

The strange fish seemed to think that this attack was enough to kill Zhou Chun, so it stopped paying attention to him and focused all its efforts on fighting the third protector.

"Damn it! That kid isn't going to die like that, is he?!"

The three protectors of the Golden Dragon Hall glanced at the spot where Zhou Chun had fallen into the water, a flash of anger crossing their eyes.

I never expected that all the hard work and risks I took to get into the Dragon Abyss Marsh would lead to this result.

He wanted to go into the water to check, but the strange fish's attacks were so fierce that he couldn't get away at all.

Moreover, the consequences of fighting a third-tier demonic beast above Dragon Abyss Swamp would be beyond his ability to bear.

Ultimately, they could only fight and retreat, quickly heading towards the mainland.

But the strange fish refused to give up easily and relentlessly pursued him all the way.

Once he had finally shaken off the strange fish and returned to shore, he hurriedly cast a spell again to sense the surroundings.

The result surprised him greatly.

The result of their perception was that Zhou Chun was still alive, and seemed to be moving in a different direction.

"They're still alive!"

He let out an incredulous exclamation, shocked by the result.

It's unbelievable that someone with only early Foundation Establishment cultivation could survive an attack from a mid-tier third-level demonic beast!

"That kid probably has some big secret on him!"

The three guardians' eyes gleamed, knowing that this was abnormal and definitely not something a normal early Foundation Establishment cultivator could do.

Then, he quickly frowned, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly muttered to himself, "Never mind, anyway, I've already seen what that kid looks like and know his identity. I can report back to the hall master now. Let others handle the rest!"

After saying that, he identified the direction and returned directly to the Golden Dragon Branch.

On the other side, Zhou Chun was currently riding forward on the white back of the Silver Horned Thunder Python.

His face was ashen, as if he had been poisoned, and he was extremely weak.

He really couldn't have blocked the monster fish's attack.

But he survived.

This is all thanks to Zhou Daoyi.

As the clan leader, he also placed the second-tier high-grade defensive inner armor, which only the clan leader could wear, into that storage bag.

When Zhou Chun came out of the nameless island, he had already prepared and put on this defensive inner armor.

He was able to survive the strange, bluish-black wind entirely because this defensive inner armor withstood its damage.

Although the inner armor protected his life, who would have thought that the strange bluish-black wind actually contained poison.

Zhou Chun's current bluish-black complexion is due to poisoning.

This poison was from a third-tier demonic beast, something a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him couldn't possibly withstand.

If it weren't for the fact that the Fire God Jackal was almost poisoned to death by the Purple Black Snake venom, and that the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde had exchanged an eight-hundred-year-old Red Essence Ganoderma for a potent antidote from the Li family, and had also given Zhou Chun one for self-defense as well.

I'm afraid he's already been poisoned to death!

However, his cultivation level was low, and his physique was not as strong as that of the Fire God Jackal. In addition, the antidote pill was not as effective as the one for the Purple Crow Snake venom, which was specifically targeting the toxins on the strange fish monster.

Even after taking a potent antidote, he can only barely protect his heart meridian and is powerless to completely expel the toxins from his body.

Moreover, he estimated that if he could not expel the poison from his body within seven days, he would eventually die from the poison!

Therefore, his only hope now is to quickly return to his family through the underground river and ask the Golden Core cultivators of Qinglian Temple for help in detoxifying him.

Perhaps he was truly destined to survive.

During the last few hundred miles of the journey, although they encountered several attacks from monsters, none of them were beyond the range that the Silver Lightning Python could handle.

Finally, with his guidance, Bai Bai successfully led him to the underwater exit of the river and back to Lanzhou by swimming upstream.

By this time, the demonic beasts in the underground river had already been cleared out by Zhou Daoyi's azure dragon, and there were no powerful demonic beasts among them that could threaten Bai Bai.

Therefore, after three days of going against the current, Zhou Chun finally returned to Lanzhou.

But by this time the poison in his body had deteriorated to a very serious degree. The original estimate of seven days was probably an optimistic estimate. He might not even be able to hold on for five days!

The Silver Lightning Python had been carrying him against the current for several days without rest, and they had also gone through several battles. Now, its physical strength and magical power had reached their limit, and it needed to rest.

So Zhou Chun could only grit his teeth and put it into his spirit beast bag to rest, and then released the Golden-Winged Tiger.

At this point, the Golden-Winged Tiger was no smaller than a normal tiger, and its cultivation level had reached a level comparable to a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

However, compared to the size of a normal golden-winged tiger, its size is still only that of a child.

"Little Tiger, it's up to you now. Whether my life can be saved depends on whether you can endure the hardship!"

At the edge of the pool, Zhou Chun struggled to reach out and touch the golden-haired flying tiger in front of him, then made it lie down and climbed onto its back to lie down.

Immediately after giving his command, Golden Flying Tiger began to run quickly through the mountains and forests.

Zhou Chun did not let it fly, because carrying a person in flight would be too tiring for its size; running on the ground would be more suitable.

Moreover, the Golden-Winged Tiger itself possesses the art of controlling the wind, and when it runs at full speed, it is extremely fast, able to travel two or three hundred miles in an hour.

However, Zhou Chun's worst fears soon came true.

The Golden-Winged Tiger's appearance was too eye-catching, especially considering its low cultivation level.

They had only traveled less than two hundred miles from the pool when several Qi Refining cultivators searching for herbs in the mountains saw the Golden-Winged Tiger carrying a man at high speed and, harboring malicious intentions, tried to harm him.

At this moment, Zhou Chun needed to use all his magical power to suppress and resist the toxins in his body. Recklessly using his magical power would only hasten his death from the poison.

Left with no other choice, he summoned the Silver Lightning Python, which had only rested for less than an hour, and used it to kill several ignorant Qi Refining stage cultivators.

"It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs!"

Looking at the several corpses on the ground that had been struck by lightning, Zhou Chun gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Aside from when he first came into this world, this is probably the weakest he has been in the past twenty-odd years.

After these reflections, he reached out and put the Silver Lightning Python, which had barely recovered its strength, back into his spirit beast pouch. Then, he patted the Golden-Winged Tiger's head and whispered encouragingly, "There are still a few hundred miles to go. Little Tiger, keep going! You must get back to the clan today!"

Awooo!

The golden-winged tiger responded to its master's encouragement with a low growl and started running swiftly again, following its master's guidance.

After carrying Zhou Chun for seven or eight hundred miles, the Golden-Winged Tiger, who was not even two years old, was so exhausted that its tongue lolled out, its limbs trembled, and it could no longer run.

Tigers are not good at long-distance running, and even if a monster is much stronger than a wild animal, there is a limit to its strength.

If it weren't for the fact that the Golden-Winged Tiger itself knew the art of wind manipulation, which allowed it to conserve its energy to the greatest extent, and that Zhou Chun hadn't fed it some pills to restore its strength along the way, it probably wouldn't have been able to run at full speed for even an hour before it would have had to give up!

Waaah~

A low, aggrieved growl came from the Golden-Winged Tiger's mouth; it had never fought so hard since it was born.

"Don't cry, Little Tiger. You saved your master today. When he recovers, he will repay you with good food and drink!"

Zhou Chun patted his exhausted pet, put it into his spirit beast bag to rest, and then released the Silver Lightning Python, Bai Bai, which had already rested.

Although Bai Bai hadn't fully rested yet, there was no problem taking him back to the Zhou family.

A giant silver-white python soared into the air, piercing through the clouds and hurtling towards the Zhou family's Nine Peaks Ridge.

In less than half an hour, the familiar surroundings of Jiufeng Ridge came into Zhou Chun's view.

came back!

He finally came back alive!

Zhou Chun, who was on the back of the Silver Lightning Python, twitched his face slightly, and his listless spirit was immediately invigorated.
