Chapter 153: Chapter 109: Foundation Establishment Assault, Another Fight Against Foundation Establishment [Subscribe Requested]
Misty Swamp, on the Nameless Island.
After Zhou Jiarui left with most of the Octagonal Aquatic Deer, Zhou Chun commanded the remaining six clan members to bring three male deer into the forest and construct enclosures on the spot to contain the three male deer.
Of course, enclosures made of ordinary wood could never confine three Demon Beasts.
The purpose of Zhou Chun's actions was merely to add a fuse for precaution.
With the enclosures acting as a buffer, if the three male deer tried to escape while everyone was not paying attention, they would make noise in time to alert them.
Once the enclosures were set up and the three male deer were contained, Zhou Chun left the Silver Lightning Python and the Rock Earth Turtle outside to guard them.
He then arranged for seven people, including himself, to take turns standing guard.
Calculating the time, even taking into account the time for Zhou Jiarui to restore his mana, he should be able to return to the island within three days.
This time span was not long, and the people on the island were not very worried.
Even during their shifts, several Zhou Family Cultivators asked Zhou Chun if they could wander around to see if they could collect any Spiritual Medicine as a bonus.
Although Zhou Chun felt this was somewhat inappropriate, it was also not right to outright refuse such minor requests without sparing any face.
In the end, he could only set three strict rules, allowing them to go out, but they must return within six hours.
In this manner, two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the meantime, the three male deer had woken up and tried to escape, but were promptly discovered and subdued by the Silver Lightning Python once more.
Through the use of spells and medication, the three male deer were now caged birds, completely incapable of causing any more trouble.
As for the Zhou Family Cultivators who went to look for Spiritual Medicine, they actually did find a few herbs, not returning empty-handed.
Just as the third day was about to arrive, everyone was relaxing and preparing to wait for Zhou Jiarui to return before heading back to their clan.
But at that moment, a spell firework suddenly exploded in the distant sky, forming an eye-catching emergency signal. Find more to read at m_v l|e'm-p y r
"Damn it! It's a distress signal from a Family Cultivator!"
The Zhou Family Cultivators in the woods all looked up at the signal, their expressions instantly turning to worry and anxiety as their gazes turned toward Zhou Chun.
At this moment, only four Zhou Family Cultivators were in the woods, with the remaining three out exploring for Spiritual Medicine.
This was the result of Zhou Chun's insistence that at least four people must stay on the island as a safeguard.
Now, faced with the gazes of the other three, Zhou Chun pondered briefly before saying to Zhou Jiacheng, who was resting, "Uncle Seventeen, go over and check the situation. If it's not very urgent, go support them. If it is urgent, send an emergency signal right away!"
"I understand."
Zhou Jiacheng responded and immediately summoned his Flying Artifact to fly towards the location of the explosion.
To everyone's utter surprise, Zhou Jiacheng had been gone for less than a quarter of an hour when he triggered a distress signal as well.
"This..."
Seeing the newly risen distress signal, the expressions of Zhou Chun and the others in the woods changed dramatically, completely unclear about the situation.
"I'll go take a look!"
Zhou Chun quickly came to his senses, ready to fly off to see what was happening.
But Zhou Zhengjing suddenly stopped him.
He looked at Zhou Chun seriously and said, "Thirteen, don't be rash. You are much more important than us. Anyone can afford to have an accident here, but you absolutely cannot!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Chun's response, another "Jia" generational Cultivator from the Zhou Family nodded in agreement, "Zhengjing is right. We all understand your concerns, Chun, but now is not the time to rush to rescue. With the enemy unidentified, we can't afford to spread out further!"
Zhou Chun knew these principles all too well himself.
But as the leader, he had to make a stand.
Now that he had a way out, he no longer insisted and gracefully agreed, "Alright then, I'll go up in the air and take a look."
Having said that, he summoned his Magic Artifact and flew up to survey from the air.
Looking down, Zhou Chun's mood quickly lifted.
He saw that Zhou Jiacheng, who had just sent the signal, was not in trouble; in fact, he was rushing back at top speed.
However, the joy from seeing Zhou Jiacheng safe lasted only a moment before Zhou Chun's expression changed again.
He suddenly noticed a blue light chasing after Zhou Jiacheng from behind, much faster and clearly outpacing him!
It was a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator!
Zhou Chun's heart tightened at once, immediately realizing the cultivation level of the owner of that blue light.
Then he quickly shouted to Zhou Zhengjing and the others waiting below, "The enemy is a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, prepare to face the enemy!"
He promptly descended to the ground.
Upon landing, he said to the three clan members, whose expressions had drastically changed from his words, "Listen to me, the enemy is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and we definitely can't match them."
"So there's only one option: I'll pretend to flee to draw him away, and you'll take the chance to find the others and lead them and the three male deer to another location!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhengjing immediately shook his head and said, "That won't do. Isn't that just risking your life? If anything happens to you, how could we explain it to the Clan Leader when we return?"
Zhou Chun heard this and waved his hand, "Sister, don't worry. If I dare say this, I have my reasons. You'll understand soon enough. Just do as I said!"
