Chapter 190: Contacting the Family, Mutation Reoccurs [Subscribe Please]
"Flowing Light Golden Rainbow" secret technique's effect on fleeing indeed did not disappoint Zhou Chun.
Within less than fifteen minutes, he had escaped nearly a hundred miles and was thoroughly out of danger.
He then swiftly discerned the direction, released the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, and had it carry him on their way.
He seized the time to take some Healing Pills and [Rejuvenation Pill], slowly refining the power of the medicine to recover from his injuries and restore his mana.
In fact, his injuries were not severe because the attacker was only a second-grade mid-tier Silver Pattern Jade Spirit Frog.
If it weren't for its surprise attack, he might not even have been injured.
After taking the Healing Pills, it took less than half a day for his internal injuries to stabilize significantly, barely affecting his ability to fight.
When the Silver Lightning Python Baibai became tired and needed to rest, Zhou Chun put it into the Spirit Beast Pouch to rest and continued on his way by himself.
And while he was on the move, he did not stop taking [Rejuvenation Pill] to restore the mana he had expended.
After rushing continuously for more than ten two-hour periods, Zhou Chun finally arrived at the rendezvous point previously arranged with the Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi.
He reached a large piece of bluestone on the mountainside, took out "Flying Dragon Snatch," hooked onto something protruding above the stone, and pulled hard; he lifted a large stone slab, revealing a Storage Pouch that had been pressed beneath it.
Seeing the Storage Pouch, Zhou Chun was delighted, knowing that the family had received the message he had sent back last time.
He then put his own Storage Pouch, filled with a large number of Spiritual Medicine resources, into the spot and covered the stone slab once more. After checking several times, he left the place with peace of mind.
After leaving the rendezvous point, Zhou Chun found a desolate mountain to hide in and began to check the items his family had sent him.
Your next journey awaits at empire
In the Storage Pouch, there were not only Magic Artifacts like the [Sun Glare Wheel] and [Profound Spirit Gold Bell] but also seven second-grade Talismans, two bottles of Elixirs to enhance cultivation level, three bottles of Demon Spirit Pill, and a letter from Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi.
Zhou Chun first read the jade slip that contained information, where Zhou Daoyi mainly updated him about the changes in the Zhou Family.
Such as Zhou Zhengyuan's success in Foundation Establishment and the creation of Demon Spirit Pill.
Also, there were instructions for him to act cautiously, not risking danger for the sake of seeking achievements.
"My sixth brother managing to establish his foundation means this undercover mission was not in vain!"
"Now, as long as the family is able to exchange for the Purple Pattern Golden Peach, and with my sixth brother continuously producing the refined Demon Spirit Pill, the strength of the family's elders will also skyrocket!"
"Now it depends on whether I can complete this undercover mission quickly and return successfully to the family!"
After Zhou Chun finished reading the information in the jade slip, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Zhou Zhengyuan's success in Foundation Establishment and the successful development of the Demon Spirit Pill was definitely a significant boon to the foundation of the Zhou Family.
If later Clan Leader Zhou Daoyi or Elder Zhou Daoquan could succeed in opening their Purple Mansions, the Zhou Family truly had the hope of revival.
As Magic Artifacts like the [Sun Glare Wheel] were ones he had already pre-refined, Zhou Chun could use them immediately.
Therefore, he did not linger at this spot and, after a brief rest of two two-hour periods, he returned on the same path towards the Black Spear Tribe.
On his return journey, wielding several handy Magic Artifacts made Zhou Chun's travel far more relaxed than on his way there. On two occasions, when second-grade Demon Beasts dared to attack him, he directly wounded and drove them away.
By the time he arrived at the retreat rendezvous point previously agreed upon with Guo Chen and the others, it had been two and a half days since they had parted ways at the Black Spear Tribe.
As expected, this led to dissatisfaction from Guo Chen, who had already been waiting there.
So as soon as he returned, Guo Chen stared at him intently and questioned, "Envoy Zhou, where have you been? Why has it taken you so long to get here?"
Zhou Chun naturally came prepared for this question and quickly explained, "Please forgive me, Envoy Guo. After escaping from the Black Spear Tribe, in my panic, I encountered a second-grade high-tier Demon Beast, the Earth-Splitting Savage Bear, and was chased for hundreds of miles before I could throw it off!"
"As Envoy Guo saw that day, I had already been injured in the attack by the Silver Pattern Jade Spirit Frog, and after being chased by the Earth-Splitting Savage Bear, my injuries worsened. Therefore, after shaking off the pursuit, I had to find a place to stabilize my condition, which delayed my return for the rendezvous!"
"Is that really so?"
Guo Chen looked at Zhou Chun, his eyes filled with skepticism.
He felt that Zhou Chun's story was too coincidental, yet he had no evidence to prove that Zhou Chun was lying.
Zhou Chun, facing his doubts, said with a calm demeanor, "If Envoy Guo doesn't believe me, I can take you to the place where I fought the Earth-Splitting Savage Bear. We should still be able to see some traces there, and we might even encounter it!"
With that statement, and seeing his calm and confident demeanor, Guo Chen believed him by eighty percent.
Then he waved his hand and said, "No need for that. As long as you, Envoy Zhou, have returned safely, I am at ease."
With that, he also said with an unhappy expression, "This time we've lost Envoys Wang and Pan, and we also failed to collect a sufficient quantity of the aqua treasures. Our mission is completely failed. What do you think we should do next?"
Having said that, he turned his gaze to Zhou Chun and another Envoy surnamed Wu.
Hearing his words, Envoy Wu immediately suggested, "I think we should first return to the sub-temple to report this matter to the Great Protector. The appearance of three Silver Pattern Jade Spirit Frogs in the Black Spear Tribe was unexpected by anyone, and the Great Protector will likely not punish us for this failure!"
