Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1264 - 527: Treasure, Ambushed [Subscription Request]_3

This time, Zhou Chun arranged for Zhou Xinlan to lead the team to collect the treasure and also included Zhou Xinyan in the team, which was undoubtedly a moderate challenge for Zhou Xinyan.

Under this challenge, Zhou Xinlan’s words of praise might sound harsh to him.

After realizing this, Zhou Xinlan could only shake her head helplessly, no longer engaging with Zhou Xinyan’s words, but instead instructed everyone to briefly tidy up the fallen Black Crowbird corpses on the ground and continue towards the mountain peak where the treasure was located.

However, perhaps the Black Crowbirds that escaped earlier had gone back to report, because just as they finished clearing the battlefield, Zhou Xinlan and Zhang Liang’s Divine Sense detected a large number of Black Crowbirds flying towards them.

"Quick, everyone, prepare yourselves immediately; those Black Crowbirds have emptied their nests!"

Zhou Xinlan loudly warned while also preparing her Magic Artifact to take action.

Not long after her words fell, the silhouettes of hundreds of Black Crowbirds appeared in everyone’s sight.

Among them, the massive silhouette of a second-rank high-quality Black Crowbird was particularly prominent.

"I’ll deal with the Bird King; the rest of the Black Crowbirds are up to you all, Zhang brother, support us!"

Zhou Xinlan commanded in a deep voice, directing everyone against the enemy, while her Divine Sense spurred on, and a long saber Magic Artifact transformed into a blazing fire towards the second-rank high-quality Black Crowbird.

With her Purple Mansion Phase cultivation level, dealing with a second-rank high-quality Demon Beast was naturally effortless.

But the Black Crowbird was indeed worthy of being the king of the bird flock; even with only a second-rank high-quality cultivation level, it dared to boldly attack Zhou Xinlan, a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator.

It seemed to be able to slightly manipulate the toxic miasma, with a flap of its wings, compressing it to form countless poisonous arrows raining down upon Zhou Xinlan.

Unfortunately, this attack, which posed a significant threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators, hardly disturbed the protective barrier created by Zhou Xinlan’s Xuangang Bead.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xinlan’s long saber Magic Artifact slashed off a segment of its wing with the first strike and severed its head with the second!

After these two strikes had slain the Black Crowbird King, Zhou Xinlan did not intervene in the battles of the others, merely staying prepared to assist in saving anyone if necessary.

However, she was somewhat overly cautious. The Foundation Establishment cultivators accompanying her, except for Zhou Yuanlian, were all seasoned Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been at this stage for years and each possessed several second-rank Magic Artifacts. Handling the remaining three second-rank Black Crowbirds and other first-rank Black Crowbirds posed no real threat.

In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the hundreds of Black Crowbirds that attacked had been slaughtered, with only a few dozen scattering and fleeing, lucky to escape death.

No one paid attention to those fleeing Black Crowbirds, as everyone was busy collecting the Demon Bird corpses on the ground, having reaped considerable rewards.

The feathers and poison sacs within Black Crowbirds are Artifact Refining materials, and excellent ingredients for Zhou Yuanlian’s cultivation of Poison Techniques.

On site, Zhou Xinlan made the decision to hand over the corpses of several second-rank Black Crowbirds, except for the feathers, entirely to Zhou Yuanlian for disposal.

No one disagreed with this decision.

Not mentioning the vague ties between Zhou Yuanlian and Clan Leader Zhou Zhengchun, Zhou Yuanlian’s contributions in providing detoxification and Poison-Repelling items along the journey alone gave her the right to these resources.

Furthermore, everyone wanted to use this chance to establish good relations with this clan member, so that seeking her help for detoxification or purchasing poisons and Poison-Repelling Talismans in the future would be more convenient.

While the battle was resolved in less than a quarter of an hour, cleaning the battlefield took nearly three quarters of an hour.

After the battlefield cleanup was completed, everyone set off once again.

Now, with the Black Crowbird flock dealt with, the path ahead was free from resistance, and they quickly arrived at the mountain peak, both the treasure site and the nest of the Black Crowbirds.

Beyond a few Black Crowbird fledglings that couldn’t fly, there were no other Demon Beasts present on the mountain.

"It’s a shame that in order for a Black Crowbird, a type of Demon Bird, to advance to second rank, they need to form a large flock. Otherwise, we could have taken some eggs and fledglings back to the family to raise!"

Another female cultivator in the team, Zhou Siyu, looked at the fledglings and eggs within the nests, expressing regret.

The combat power of second-rank Black Crowbirds is quite impressive; their toxic attribute spells are uniquely difficult to defend against, and they make excellent Spirit Pets.

However, as Zhou Siyu noted, Black Crowbirds, being group-dwelling Demon Beasts, require the formation of a flock to produce second-rank Demon Beasts.

And it was unfeasible for the Zhou Family to raise hundreds of Black Crowbirds to cultivate second-rank Black Crowbirds—the cost was prohibitive and not worthwhile.

At this point, Zhou Yuanlian suddenly said, "There are many toxic plants on this mountain beneficial to my cultivation; I will go and harvest these plants first. Call me once you find the treasure site."

"Since it’s related to your cultivation, Xiaolian niece, feel free to proceed."

Zhou Xinlan slightly nodded, agreeing instantly.

She then joined Zhou Sihan and others in taking out the replicated map to begin searching for the exact treasure location. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Following the map diligently, after about two quarters of an hour searching separately across the mountain, they found the treasure location recorded on it.

"This is the place; the treasure is within this stone wall!"

Below a cliff stone wall, Zhou Xinlan and the others, clutching the treasure map and cross-referencing repeatedly, finally unanimously identified the marked location as the stone wall ahead.

Then Zhou Xinlan slightly pondered and directly summoned her long saber Magic Artifact to slash at the stone wall.
