Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Similarly, both being Fourth Order Mid-Level Demon Beasts, the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer immediately crushed and killed the Fourth Order Mid-Level Armadillo Demon Beast that had earth-escaped in invasion, showcasing the vast power disparity among Demon Beasts due to different species!

To compare with a Cultivator, that Armadillo is merely an ordinary Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator possessing a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, whereas the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone is equivalent to Zhou Chun, who owns a Spiritual Treasure.

Once Zhou Chun uses a Spiritual Treasure, this ordinary mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator would be defeated in just a few moves!

Of course, this is also due to the unlucky Armadillo Demon Beast encountering the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone, which is much stronger in Earth Escape Divine Skills, rendering its best escape skill useless.

Otherwise, relying on its outstanding Earth Escape Divine Skills, it could likely escape from equally powerful Demon Beasts like the Flame Prison Phoenix.

And although the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone disappeared into the earth with the Armadillo Demon Beast's corpse after killing it,

this scene was still seen by the Green-Eyed Golden Ape, which possesses the Spirit Eye Divine Ability.

It might not recognize the Turtle Bearer type of Demon Beast, but the powerful ability demonstrated by the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone, killing the Armadillo Demon Beast in just moments, was enough to fill its heart with immense dread and even fear.

Thus, it quickly issued a loud and commanding roar for retreat.

Hmm?

Being fluent in beast language, Zhou Chun quickly deciphered the meaning contained within the roars of the Green-Eyed Golden Ape, and immediately frowned.

Originally, he didn't want to expose his true strength and attract more Demon Beasts to attack Tuyun Ridge, which is why he was entangling and stalling the Green-Eyed Golden Ape.

Now that the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone was compelled to act, exposing its power, it undoubtedly disrupted his initial plan.

It's expected that after the Green-Eyed Golden Ape retreats, it won't easily launch another attack but will report the real situation to the Fifth-order Demon King who commands everything behind the scenes, requesting more reinforcements!

Should he just alter his plan and keep the Green-Eyed Golden Ape and those Fourth Order Demon Beasts?

Zhou Chun was deep in thought, finding it hard to decide.

Just as he hesitated, two of the Fourth Order Demon Beasts had already withdrawn from the formation range upon receiving the retreat order.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun sighed internally and gave up the idea of killing the beasts to silence them.

The Green-Eyed Golden Ape is a Fourth Order High-Level Demon Beast. To kill and silence it, he would either have to expose the Spiritual Treasure or call upon the Flame Prison Phoenix and Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone to surround and attack, either of which would reveal more of his hand.

Critically, it might not necessarily be able to prevent the opponent from self-destructing its Demon Core!

If it indeed successfully self-destructed its Demon Core within Tuyun Ridge, that powerful might could potentially break through the Nine Palaces Yellow Dragon Formation, leading to even greater losses then.

So maintaining the original plan might be better.

However, although the Green-Eyed Golden Ape, this Fourth Order High-Level Demon Beast, is difficult to kill, there are no such concerns for those Fourth Order Low-Level Demon Beasts.

As the other Demon Beasts retreated, the Golden Winged Tiger and Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai received Zhou Chun's orders and blocked the two Fourth Order Low-Level Demon Beasts battling Lin Hongyu and Zhou Mingde.

The Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone also assisted secretly, using its gravity domain to restrict the two demon beasts' escape.

Under the joint efforts of everyone, they quickly killed these two demon beasts within the formation!

This wave of attack lost three Fourth Order Demon Beasts, and the beast tide outside could no longer pose any threat to Tuyun Ridge.

So when this round of offensive was completely over, the beast herd outside began to gradually retreat.

Low and Mid-level Demon Beasts also require food supply, especially when most of these beasts just experienced a march of thousands of miles, they need to eat and restore their strength.

Since they can't flatten Tuyun Ridge in one go now, the Green-Eyed Golden Ape and other Fourth Order Demon Beasts naturally won't restrain the hunger desires of those under them.

After all, Demon Beasts are still Demons Beasts. If they get hungry, even with Fourth Order Demon Beasts restricting them, it's hard to ensure they won't regard the nearby others as food!

But consequently, tough luck for the mortals!

After this great beast tide, it's uncertain about the northern provinces, but the number of mortals in the southern provinces will certainly dwindle significantly, and in extreme cases, losing eighty to ninety percent of them isn't impossible!

But this is something that can't be changed, there's nothing anyone can do!

Even if Zhou Chun has the desire to save all living beings, he doesn't have the power to rescue everyone!

He couldn't even save the numerous mundane clansmen belonging to the Zhou Family.

He merely instructed them to hide in underground shelters before the battle, and whether they can avoid the beasts' onslaught successfully, it depends entirely on fate!

"Clan Leader, the battle damage report has been compiled. In this defense battle, we lost twenty-seven cultivators, including two Foundation Establishment cultivators, eighty-four were wounded, and twelve were severely injured!"

"And during this battle, we killed over five thousand four hundred demon beasts in total, including three Fourth Order Demon Beasts, fourteen Third Order Demon Beasts, and more than a hundred and fifty Second Order Demon Beasts, accumulating twelve Third Order Demon Cores and countless monster materials!"

On Tuyun Ridge, after Zhou Chun finished meditating to recover his mana, he summoned Zhou Xinyan over to inquire about the battle damage situation.

After listening to Zhou Xinyan's report, he also felt quite satisfied with this battle damage.

This is the advantage of Human Cultivators.

As long as there is a sufficiently powerful Mountain Protection Array for defense, no matter facing tens or hundreds of times more demon beasts, they can still create tremendous battle results.

Otherwise, just relying on numbers, the Human Clan could never compete with the Demon Beasts.
