Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 348 Seeing a Deer Deep in the Forest [Please Subscribe]

The fact that Zhou Chun easily dealt with three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Huang family fully demonstrated his formidable strength at this moment.

Even without lifting a finger, his three spirit pets and two groups of demonic insects alone are equivalent to four or five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

This is only their combat strength under normal conditions.

If he were to participate in the battle and unleash the true power of the Silver Lightning Python, Bai Bai, it would be even more terrifying.

This is why Zhou Mingde believed that he could suppress those Foundation Establishment cultivators who were not convinced by Lin Wan'er if he went north to Yang Kingdom alone.

In the path of beast taming, Zhou Chun can now be considered the most successful cultivator in the Zhou family, even surpassing Zhou Daoyi, who cultivated a third-tier dragon.

Of course, all of this is the result of his family's full support.

It's important to know that raising three second-tier demonic beasts at the same time consumes a considerable amount of resources.

Leaving aside the specially supplied spirit beast rations, Zhou Chun has always been the one in the Zhou family who receives the most [Demon Spirit Pill], a pill that can enhance the cultivation of second-tier demon beasts.

Almost half of the [Demon Spirit Pills] that the Zhou family is currently refining have been given to him.

Without the support of his family, it would have been impossible for Zhou Chun to raise three second-tier demonic beasts so well on his own without hindering his own cultivation.

That's why, even though he's been running around for his family all these years, and even married someone he had no feelings for for his family, he has never complained.

While a person's success is certainly related to their own efforts, it also requires the help of benefactors.

For Zhou Chun, his family was his benefactor, and his elders, such as Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, were his benefactors.

After killing the person, Zhou Chun fled the scene as quickly as possible.

He knew that the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Huang family would rush over to rescue people as soon as he saw the communication fireworks.

That is for sure!

The entire Huang family only had five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, one of whom had already been killed by the Wood Demon.

These three Foundation Establishment cultivators are truly the cream of the crop of the Huang family.

If they stand idly by and watch these three Foundation Establishment cultivators get into trouble, unless the Huang family's Supreme Elder actually captures the Wood Demon, the entire Huang family will rapidly decline as a result, and may never have a chance to recover its strength again.

As Zhou Chun had predicted, upon seeing the communication fireworks rise, Huang Boxiong, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the wooden spirit, immediately turned back to save people.

But at this moment, the Wood Spirit seemed to sense Huang Boxiong's urgency and suddenly refused to release him.

It let out a long, drawn-out cry, and suddenly its forked antlers shone brightly with emerald light. Soon, two beams of emerald light shot out from its antlers like two vines and flew towards Huang Boxiong.

Huang Boxiong hadn't taken this seriously at first. He simply focused his mind and used his flying sword to slash the two emerald green ribbons, intending to cut them off.

To his surprise, after the flying sword struck the emerald green light band, it not only failed to sever it, but was instead enveloped by the emerald green light and trapped inside. No matter how he urged it, he could not retract it.

This startled him greatly, and he hurriedly activated another defensive artifact to intercept the remaining emerald light, and set up a layer of cyan-green shield around his body.

As a result, just like the flying sword, his protective shield was also instantly enveloped by the emerald light, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

With both of his useful magical artifacts trapped one after another, Huang Boxiong, even though he could move freely, certainly couldn't abandon them to leave.

After all, he still didn't know the cultivation level of the enemy who attacked those juniors. If it was a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, without these two handy magic weapons, he might not be able to save them.

He glanced at the blue deer with a grim expression and roared, "You wretched beast, you've brought this upon yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, he made a hand seal and sent a burst of magic power at the blue-red flying sword.

Instantly, a burst of cyan-red flames erupted from the flying sword, instantly burning the emerald light enveloping it into smoky smoke.

Immediately, a flash of sword light appeared, and the flying sword, empowered by cyan and red flames, shot towards the Azure Deer.

This was clearly unexpected for Qinglu, who hadn't anticipated that the flying sword possessed such extraordinary abilities.

To maintain the output of those two emerald green lights, it was also unable to use the Wood Release technique to dodge.

Therefore, it had no choice but to withstand the attack of the flying sword.

A flash of emerald light appeared in its emerald-like eyes, and a burst of emerald green spiritual light erupted from its body, transforming into a jade scale armor that covered its entire body.

The flying sword then slashed fiercely at its neck!

In an instant, a dazzling green light surged forth, and the jade scales on the deer's neck shattered instantly under the flying sword's strike, turning into pure green spiritual light that dissipated. The sword blade mercilessly pierced into the deer's neck.

However, since the Wood Spirit is not made of flesh and blood, the sword strike that nearly severed its head was not actually fatal.

The troublesome thing is the bluish-red flame on the flying sword. This "fire within wood" is even more effective at suppressing wood spirits than pure flames.

Burned by the flames, the abundant life force within the wood spirit became fuel, amplifying the power of the fire and causing it to let out a pitiful deer cry in agony.

The supernatural power that had trapped Huang Boxiong's magical artifact was thus forced to dissipate instantly.

"Die, you beast!"

Seeing that the fire attack was even more effective than he had expected, Huang Boxiong was overjoyed. For a moment, he forgot that his juniors were still waiting for his rescue and immediately launched a fierce attack on Qinglu, intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

But a Wood Sprite is a Wood Sprite after all, and it has a home-field advantage in the forest that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Its figure swayed, and suddenly it crashed into a nearby tree.

In the blink of an eye, the green deer's figure merged into the tree.

Immediately, the tree burst into flames, a mixture of blue and red!

Then, a flash of blue light appeared, and the figure of the blue deer reappeared in the forest. The flames burning on its body had been completely extinguished, and its wounds had healed, as if it had never been injured at all.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that its aura is much weaker than before, now barely maintaining its position on the edge of a third-tier demon beast, seemingly on the verge of falling back to the second tier at any moment.

Seeing this, Huang Boxiong couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, as expected, your sudden increase in cultivation was only temporary; you haven't truly advanced to the third rank!"

This discovery completely put his mind at ease, and he regained his confidence in capturing the Wood Spirit.

But just as he was about to press on and capture the Wood Spirit in one fell swoop, the Wood Spirit stopped playing with him!

Then, the green deer moved and its figure instantly turned into light and disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already under a tree several miles away. After several flashes, it had widened the gap between itself and Huang Boxiong by twenty or thirty miles.

This scene caused Huang Boxiong's expression to change drastically, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

The previous battle had misled him, making him almost believe that the Wood Spirit would continue to fight him to the death.

But they forgot that the Wood Spirit is actually a timid creature by nature, and it is impossible for it to fight a powerful opponent to the death.

At this moment, once the Wood Demon started to run away, Huang Boxiong was completely helpless against it.

"You wretched creature, I'll let you roam free for now. I'll come back and deal with you later!"

In the end, Huang Boxiong could only curse angrily before turning around and flying towards where the younger members of the Huang family were.

At this point, more than a quarter of an hour had passed since the message fireworks went off.

By the time Huang Boxiong arrived at the deserted scene, Zhou Chun had already fled dozens of miles away.

"What a chaotic smell!"

At the scene of the incident, Huang Boxiong landed with a grim expression, carefully sensing the remaining aura around him. He found it unfamiliar and chaotic, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

However, the location where the auras of the Huang family cultivators dissipated gave him a very bad feeling.

"Who? Who did this?!"

Huang Boxiong's face was filled with rage, and he couldn't help but fly into the sky and look around.

But all around was a vast expanse of white, with no trace of human presence except for the thick ash from the burning forest.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, "Hmph, no one can kill members of my Huang family and get away with it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, formed a hand seal, and then swept his fingers over his eyes with a bluish light.

Then he opened his eyes, and his clear black and white eyes suddenly emitted a blue spiritual light.

With those glaucoma lenses, he immediately saw a scene that was difficult for ordinary people to see.

But his gaze shifted and quickly turned to the direction Zhou Chun had left in.

In the seemingly empty sky, a faint golden streak appeared in Huang Boxiong's sight like a rainbow.

"Found you!"

With a low shout, Huang Boxiong immediately followed the direction of the golden aura.

Unexpectedly, after chasing for only twenty or thirty miles, the golden aura disappeared.

What appeared before Huang Boxiong was a raging inferno, a forest burning fiercely.

His target was someone who had entered the sea of ​​fire and never used his magic again, which caused him to lose track of his target.

"Did you think you could escape my pursuit by hiding inside? How naive!"

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Huang Boxiong immediately flew into the smoke-filled area above the sea of ​​fire, his powerful divine sense sweeping across the ground in search of the hiding culprit.

Even after he thoroughly searched the surrounding area for dozens of miles, he still couldn't find the missing murderer.

The killer vanished without a trace, as if melted by a sea of ​​fire.

This situation made his expression turn very ugly.

He hovered in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the sea of ​​fire on the ground, unsure whether to continue the search or capture the wood spirit first.

After hesitating for a long time, he let out a cold snort with an ugly expression, waved his sleeve and left the place to continue searching for the wood spirit.

So they've finally left?

Inside a cave somewhere underground, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief after discovering Huang Boxiong's departure through the "Flying Fire Scorpion" he was possessing.

He knew, of course, that even with the advantage of escaping first, he couldn't possibly outrun a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, so he never thought he could escape directly.

So after killing the people, he ran into the sea of ​​fire, using the flames to conceal his presence.

He then quickly crossed the sea of ​​fire and hid in a burrow dug by some unknown animal.

Of course, if it were just a hole in the ground, it certainly wouldn't be enough to help him evade Huang Boxiong's spiritual search.

Therefore, his entire body is now covered with blue butterflies.

The "Blue Moon Butterfly" is a type of demonic insect with extremely strong illusion and concealment abilities. When they are still, even the divine sense of a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage may not be able to see through their illusions and disguises.

Zhou Chun concealed his existence by using the illusions and disguises of these demonic insects, rendering Huang Boxiong's divine sense search futile.

When Zhou Chun realized that Huang Boxiong had left, he breathed a sigh of relief but did not dare to make any rash moves.

He didn't know if this was Huang Boxiong's scheme to lure the enemy out, or if the other party would launch a surprise attack.

So it's always better to play it safe.

After hiding for more than an hour, Zhou Chun finally removed his disguise and returned to the ground.

After a moment's hesitation, he boldly headed towards the location of the Wood Spirit.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chun rushed back, he saw Huang Boxiong setting fires everywhere.

All the younger generation cultivators of the Huang family he brought with him have perished, and Huang Boxiong is now too ashamed to return to his family.

The only way for him to save face now is to capture that wood spirit.

If you can capture a wood spirit, even if you can't tame it yourself, you can still sell it for a sky-high price at auction.

Only by using the spirit coins obtained to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills can we make up for the losses suffered by the four Foundation Establishment cultivators today.

He no longer cared about the consequences of setting fire to forests everywhere.

"This guy's probably furious right now, I'd better stay away from him!"

After observing the figure in the sky for a while with a flicker in his eyes, Zhou Chun quietly rushed into the forest from the ground.

Now that only Huang Boxiong is left, his opportunity has arrived.

If he can find the Wood Spirit's true form before Huang Boxiong, he might be able to capture it.

Thanks to the fires set by the Huang family, Zhou Chun's search area has been greatly reduced.

His figure moved swiftly through the forest, with pale golden demonic insects spreading out from him, taking bites from every ancient tree and vine.

Using this method, Zhou Chun could inspect all the ancient trees within a radius of several miles in a quarter of an hour.

This speed may not be as severe as a forest fire, but it is still a very quick way to investigate.

About three hours later, several demonic insects that had been attacking the ancient tree suddenly sent Zhou Chun a strange message, and then lost contact with him.

After receiving the message from the demonic insect, he rushed over to check the situation.

In the forest, there was an ancient tree, so thick that it would take six or seven people to encircle it, but less than ten feet tall, hidden beneath countless lush vines and towering trees.

If Zhou Chun hadn't conducted a thorough search from the ground, no one would have been able to see this well-hidden, robust ancient tree from the sky.

As several "Black Armor Golden Feathers" lay on the ancient tree tearing at the trunk, they were enveloped and imprisoned by clumps of amber-like emerald green liquid.

At this moment, these demonic insects had completely severed ties with Zhou Chun and were probably dead.

"What kind of tree is this?"

Zhou Chun looked at the ancient tree in front of him, whose leaves resembled maple leaves but whose trunk resembled nanmu wood, and couldn't recognize its name.

This is normal; there are far more kinds of trees in this world than in his previous life.

If it weren't for those famous spiritual trees, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to recognize the name of every tree in the forest.

But it doesn't matter if you don't recognize the name. Judging from the extraordinary performance of this ancient tree, it is very likely the target that Zhou Chun is looking for!
