Chapter 349 A Complete Crackdown [Please Subscribe]

An ancient tree unlike any I've ever seen before is right in front of me; it could very well be the true form of the wood spirit.

Zhou Chun looked at the ancient tree in front of him with a solemn expression.

He first jumped up to a tall tree nearby to look at the sky and make sure Huang Boxiong was not in the vicinity before quickly jumping down.

After a moment's thought, he took the three corpses of the Huang family cultivators that he had previously taken from his storage bag and threw them next to the ancient tree.

Then, he held a third-tier defensive talisman in one hand and unleashed the [Sun-Radiant Golden Wheel] with the other, slashing it towards a branch of the ancient tree.

The golden wheel-shaped magical artifact landed on the ancient tree branch like a rotating gear, and a burst of verdant spiritual light suddenly surged from the branch, attempting to resist the cutting of the sharp blade.

However, this verdant spiritual light only helped it hold on for a few more breaths before it was instantly cut down to the ground by the golden wheel-shaped magical artifact.

However, this strange phenomenon confirmed Zhou Chun's guess.

This ancient tree, which I have never seen before, is indeed the true form of the wood spirit!

After he chopped off a branch of the ancient tree, he pointed his fingers at the tree and swung them. A golden sword light crashed down on the trunk, leaving a deep hole in the tree from which emerald green sap flowed out.

After doing all this, Zhou Chun waited patiently.

Before long, a blue light flashed on the ancient tree in front of him, and the figure of a wood spirit walking in the world in the form of a spirit deer appeared on the treetop.

At this moment, the aura emanating from the Azure Deer had diminished considerably, falling between the second and third tiers, far less powerful than when Zhou Chun first encountered it.

Once it appeared on the treetop, its pair of emerald-like eyes immediately looked at Zhou Chun, a hint of human-like disgust appearing in them.

Without a doubt, Zhou Chun, who cultivates pure metal element techniques, is someone it dislikes very much.

Moreover, Zhou Chun's actions of harming its own body just now also angered it.

Facing the disgust that flashed in those doe-like eyes, Zhou Chun calmly said, "I know you understand me, so I'll get straight to the point!"

"Now that your existence has been discovered, even if you manage to escape from Zhou and the person who set the forest on fire today, you will have nowhere to run when even more powerful human cultivators arrive."

"If you're willing to come with me today, I can't guarantee anything else, but helping you advance to the third rank will be no problem at all, and there's even a good chance you'll advance to the fourth rank!"

"To show my sincerity, I have already killed these humans who set fire to the forest for you!"

This can be considered a case of using courtesy first, then force.

In capturing the Wood Spirit, Zhou Chun and the Huang family shared the same goal.

However, if they were to capture a wood spirit, their approach might be different.

The Huang family went so far as to set fire to the forest to capture the Wood Spirit, probably without intending to tame it as a spirit pet. They simply wanted to capture it and sell it at a high price, so naturally they didn't care whether the Wood Spirit would hate them.

However, Zhou Chunzhi was in the process of subduing the wood spirit, so of course he couldn't do anything that would incite the wood spirit's hatred.

That would cause him a lot of trouble in his efforts to subdue them.

However, Mu Mei didn't seem to appreciate Zhou Chun's overtures.

It glanced at the three corpses on the ground, and the earth beneath them immediately cracked open, revealing red and black tree roots.

The tree roots quickly bound the three bodies and dragged them underground, seemingly intending to use them as fertilizer.

Then, a "yoyo" sound came from the green deer's mouth, a warning to Zhou Chun to leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh softly, "Fine, since you don't believe me, I'll have to use violence to calm you down first!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, immediately releasing all the "Mysterious Armor Golden Feather" demonic insects he had tamed.

After years of cultivation, he now possesses over seven thousand "Mysterious Armored Golden Feather" demonic insects, including over eight hundred mature insects and over four thousand adult insects.

At this moment, he released more than 5,000 demonic insects, which quickly formed a pale golden cloud of insects above his head.

"go!"

Zhou Chun raised his hand and pointed at the ancient tree in front of him. Instantly, thousands of demonic insects swarmed towards the ancient tree.

Upon seeing this, the azure deer let out an angry neigh and spat out a beam of azure light that swept towards the demonic insects.

As soon as the blue light swept over them, a large number of demonic insects flew down to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

However, most of the mature "Black Armor Golden Feathers" only swayed slightly before continuing to pounce towards the ancient tree.

This fueled the deer's anger even more. It stomped its hooves again, and the tree trunk beneath its feet instantly cracked open with countless tiny fissures, spraying out streams of emerald green sap that shot towards the attacking demonic insects.

Upon contact with the demonic insect, the emerald sap immediately condenses into emerald crystals, imprisoning the insect and causing it to fall to the ground.

However, a mature "Black Armor Golden Feather" is not so easy to deal with.

As soon as the emerald green crystals fell to the ground, the demonic insects inside quickly bit through them and crawled out.

Then, continuing to carry out its master's will, it leaped towards the ancient tree.

This tenacious vitality that seemed impossible to kill surprised even the green deer.

You should know that this tree sap is something that the tree itself evolved specifically to deal with demonic insects. In the past, no demonic insect in this forest has ever been able to survive after being stuck with the sap.

Two consecutive attacks failed to subdue the swarm of demonic insects, and some of them successfully flew up to the ancient tree and began gnawing on its trunk.

Although it can now exist independently of its original body, the connection between the Azure Deer and its original body still exists.

Every bite that the demonic insects took from the tree trunk felt like it was gnawing on its own body, causing it to feel the pain as if it were being eaten alive.

It hated those insects!

But then it moved, and suddenly its entire body transformed into a blue light and merged into the ancient tree.

Then, the ancient tree seemed to come alive, its trunk radiating emerald light, and suddenly sharp thorns sprouted, piercing the pale golden demonic insects.

But the result was almost the same as the previous two attacks on the demonic insects.

Mature "Mysterious Armor Golden Feather" demonic insects are not afraid of those spiked attacks at all; they can even hug the spikes and bite them.

Only some adult "Black Armor Golden Feathers" are not strong enough, and their bodies will be pierced by sharp thorns, leaving them stuck on trees.

Just as the Wood Demon was trying to kill the pale golden demonic insects, Zhou Chun also joined the battle, no longer standing idly by.

With a wave of his hand, the [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel] spun and slashed towards the ancient tree.

Then he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist repeatedly, releasing all three spirit pets.

That wasn't all. In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Zhou Chun also formed hand seals and unleashed the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," which he hadn't used in a long time.

After using the dragon blood of Qingjiao Qingqing to transform his foundation, Zhou Chun never gave up cultivating the secret technique of "Dragon Transformation Secret".

After all, the improvement in strength from this secret technique is obvious to all, and it would be a great pity to let it go to waste.

After years of cultivation, Zhou Chun has now mastered the second level of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" to its fullest extent.

Now that he has used this secret technique, the layer of cyan-gold dragon scales on his body has almost materialized, and his claws are even more sharp, capable of tearing the air with a casual swing.

At that moment, he felt stronger than ever before.

With the dragon scales protecting him and his dragon claws, he could even engage in hand-to-hand combat with other monsters of the same level.

Of course, he would never do that. After all, he wasn't like Xu Fu and the others who frequently used this secret technique to fight against demonic beasts and had long since honed their powerful close combat skills.

In fact, this was the first time he had used the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" to fight with full force after he began practicing it.

At that moment, Zhou Chun and his three spirit pets activated simultaneously, each launching a fierce attack on the ancient tree, the body of the Wood Spirit, in different ways.

Thunder roared and golden light flashed as various spells bombarded the ancient tree in turn.

Interspersed throughout were the figures of Zhou Chun and Golden-Winged Tiger charging and leaping.

At this moment, the Wood Spirit also demonstrated its powerful protective abilities.

Suddenly, thick roots sprouted from the ground around the ancient tree, soaring upwards like vines and connecting with the canopy to form a huge tree barrier.

The barrier formed by those tree roots is incredibly resilient, and its regenerative ability is abnormally strong.

Even if Zhou Chun and his spirit pet blasted a large hole in it, it could be repaired in a few breaths.

Moreover, it wasn't just defending; it also launched a counterattack against Zhou Chun while on the defensive.

At this moment, the Wood Spirit seemed to know that only by eliminating Zhou Chun could it get rid of those damned insects.

Seeing that Zhou Chun often came close and tore at the barrier, it suddenly took drastic measures, extending a tree root that transformed into a root cage, trapping Zhou Chun inside.

Then he tried to gather his strength to kill Zhou Chun inside the cage.

Unexpectedly, just as the root cage it created trapped Zhou Chun, a golden rainbow shot out from Zhou Chun's mouth, instantly piercing and shattering the root cage that it had deliberately reinforced.

Immediately, a flash of green appeared, and Zhou Chun's figure rushed out of the gap in the blink of an eye, flying to the edge of the huge tree root barrier.

Then Zhou Chun swung his claws, and his sharp claws, like flying swords, easily tore a huge gap in the tree root barrier in front of him.

Boom boom boom!

On the other side, a series of explosions rang out, and raging lightning blasted a gap several dozen feet wide open in the tree root barrier. Then, the massive body of the Golden Armored Rock Turtle rushed in and blocked the gap, preventing it from closing.

Then, the Golden-Winged Tiger took the lead and rushed into the gap from above, spitting out a ball of golden spiritual light towards the ancient tree inside.

Boom!

The golden light struck the ancient tree, instantly creating a gap the size of a water vat in its trunk. The sharp metal elemental energy completely destroyed and killed the wood spirit's life force. Even with the ancient tree's powerful regenerative abilities, it was unable to heal the gap in a short time.

Zhou Chun and his three spirit pets all possess attributes that are effective against the Wood Spirit, which is the source of his confidence in coming to fight the Wood Spirit alone.

Before rejecting Zhou Chun's overtures, Mu Mei clearly never expected that Zhou Chun, who appeared to be only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, would actually be so powerful.

Faced with the siege of Zhou Chun and his army of spirit pets and demonic insects, the Wood Spirit, whose strength was no longer comparable to that of the previous Wood Spirit, quickly fell into a complete disadvantage.

It made several attempts to concentrate its forces to take down Zhou Chun himself, but each time Zhou Chun saw through its intentions and took precautions to defend against them.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun and his three-headed spirit pet unleashed a barrage of attacks on the ancient tree, the main body of the Wood Spirit. The massive trunk of the tree was quickly blasted into a mangled mess, riddled with wounds, and had no time to recover.

Just then, under Zhou Chun's command, the "Mysterious Armored Golden Feather" demonic insects burrowed into the ancient tree through the wounds and began to gnaw at it from the inside.

The thousands of demonic insects gnawing at the same time caused more damage to the ancient tree than Zhou Chun and his spirit pets.

Under their erosion, the ancient tree's vitality visibly declined, and the power that the wood spirits could exert also rapidly diminished.

Yo-yo—

A mournful cry of a deer suddenly rang out in the forest, and the wood spirit in the form of a blue deer reappeared atop the ancient tree.

It seemed to know that it could not protect its original form, and it was weeping for the demise of its original form.

"Trying to run away?"

Looking at the weeping deer atop the tree, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he instantly understood the purpose of the other party's appearance.

Clearly, after realizing that the ancient tree was doomed, the wood spirit no longer intended to fight him and wanted to escape.

Given the Wood Spirit's mastery of Wood Escape Techniques, anyone in this forest who wants to escape will be impossible to catch without the cultivation of a Golden Core cultivator.

But Zhou Chun wouldn't let all his hard work go to waste.

With a thought in his mind, the Golden Armored Rock Turtle and the Silver Lightning Python instantly coordinated to unleash a combined killing move.

The golden-armored rock tortoise took the lead, and an invisible gravity cage instantly enveloped the ancient tree and the green deer.

Inside the gravity cage, the Wood Spirit's connection with the surrounding vegetation was instantly and severely suppressed, making it difficult to cast Wood Release techniques almost instantly as before.

Just then, silver-white lightning descended from the sky, striking the wood spirit in a triple lightning strike.

The lightning strike sent electric currents surging through Qinglu's body, nearly shattering half of it.

At this point, its disadvantage of not having a flesh and blood body becomes apparent.

The lightning struck the spirit directly, instantly throwing its internal magical power into chaos, just like when it was touched by Huang Boxiong's "Fire in Wood" before.

The difference is that it no longer possesses the same level of magical power as before, and it is unable to remove this negative state from its body in a short period of time.

But Zhou Chun's true killing move followed immediately.

A flash of silver light appeared, and a large silver net suddenly descended, trapping the entire green deer like a fishnet.

Once the silver net captured the azure deer, it shone brightly and tightened its grip. Inside, the azure deer was cut and compressed by the pure metal element power, and it immediately let out an extremely miserable cry. Its size also visibly shrank as the net contracted.

"Hahaha, don't cry, little deer, I, Zhou, can't bear to kill you!"

Zhou Chun laughed loudly, and his figure instantly appeared next to the silver net. Like a fisherman who had made a great harvest, he smiled and picked up the green deer that had been caught in the net.

Once caught in his silver net, the green deer, with its abilities, had no chance of escaping.

But after only a few laughs, he suddenly seemed to notice something, his expression changed drastically, and he abruptly looked in a certain direction.

A streak of azure light was seen flying rapidly toward him from the sky dozens of miles away.

Huang Boxiong was rushing towards this place after he saw the fighting and killing from afar.
