Chapter 33 It's fate (Please collect! Please read!)
The three members of the guard team, Xie Meng, Sanzi, and Zhou Shiqi, looked at Zhou Qingshan with burning eyes.

Zhou Hu’s surname is Zhou. Like Zhou Shiqi, he is an orphan and abandoned baby. Even worse, he doesn’t even have his own name.

The more than ten members of the guard team have been eating and sitting together since childhood and are as close as brothers.

Zhou Hu has average talent but an extraordinary character, so he was sent to the martial arts hall for martial arts enlightenment. He is also the hope of Zhou Qingshan and Zhao Gang.

Another warrior has entered Shengfeng Territory!
Zhou Hu and Zhou Shiqi are inherently closer to Zhou Qingshan than the others. Zhou Qingshan even treats Zhou Shiqi as his younger brother and Zhou Hu as his older brother.

Zhou Hu will be Zhou Qingshan's right-hand man, the successor of his guard team, the bottom line of his life, and the foundation of Shengfengling.

Mo Yanqiu and Uncle Zhao didn't need to tell him that if he could still be saved, Zhou Qingshan would not hesitate even if it required spending a legendary "Elixir of Fortune".

Zhou Qingshan looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao and said:

"Xiaoxiao, there is a scroll in the bottom drawer of my room. Please help me get it."

Here, only Xiaoxiao, the nominal personal maid, can enter and leave his main house at will.

"Ah."

Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded when he heard that, and quickly got up and went out to get it.

Not long after, Zhao Xiaoxiao ran in with a scroll made of strange animal skin.

Zhou Qingshan spread out the animal skin scroll on the table next to him, and then picked up an oil lamp to illuminate it.

This animal skin map was drawn by Zhou Qingshan's father. It took him more than ten years to explore it bit by bit, and he finally drew a detailed topographic map of the area within a radius of thirty miles in Shengfeng Territory.

The animal skin map depicts natural features such as mountains, forests, and rivers in detail, and roughly marks the distances between different places.

In some areas, dangerous areas where strange beasts are active are prominently marked with bright red paint.

In addition, resource-rich locations are specially marked on the map with star patterns and text.

Zhou Qingshan's eyes fell on a place marked with three stars behind three bright red pigments on the map:

"About fifteen miles southeast of Xipanling? There is a cave that produces some mid-grade Zhongling lotion."

Zhong Ling Lotion is a medicine that can have an effect on incoming warriors. It is very close to a first-level spiritual medicine and is called the Essence of the Mountain.

First, long-term use of "Zhongling Emulsion" can effectively strengthen the physical constitution and improve the body's resistance and recovery.

Secondly, it purifies and breaks through some impurities and obstructions accumulated in the meridians, thereby accelerating the probability of the blood coagulation warrior stimulating his potential to break through the realm of the warrior.

Neither of these two effects is simple, but the effects are weak and require "long-term and large-scale" consumption to be significant, so they are not considered first-level elixirs.

But in fact, it is the best foundation-building medicine besides the "Spirit Seed". It has a mild medicinal property and even a ten-year-old child can take it with water every day.

"The heart of Xipanling..." Mo Yanqiu stared at the animal skin map in deep thought.

There is no road opened up by our predecessors, and the terrain in the mountains is complex. If you go astray, you may lose your way forever and there is no way back.

Even a warrior at the level of a strongman, if injured while fighting in this thick fog, with his spirit and energy declining, would not be able to hold out in the fog much longer than an ordinary person.

At that time, the 'three yang fires' in the body will become weak, and may even attract the attention of more ferocious beasts, causing continuous crises.

Even with a map in hand, any delay meant a long night in the mountains.

And you can imagine how dangerous the night is when the fog is thick...

Mo Yanqiu had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She looked around and finally made up her mind.

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Creek Ridge alone to retrieve the Zhongling Lotion, and try to return before dusk."

The words just fell.

“No!” “No!”

Zhou Qingshan and Gao Feixue objected almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other.

Gao Feixue said directly: "Yanqiu, if you want to go, let's go together. There will be someone to take care of us behind the scenes."

It is impossible to see far in the fog, and confusion is likely to occur when there are too many people. They are usually divided into groups of three to take care of each other. She is the only blood coagulation warrior in this room and can be Mo Yanqiu's deputy.

Zhou Qingshan pointed to the red circles near "Zhongling Lotion" on the map and said in a serious tone:
"This place is almost deep in the heart of Xipanling. It takes thirty miles of rugged mountain roads to go back and forth. You may also be attacked by strange beasts along the way. If you are delayed for a moment, you will have to spend the night in the mountains."

"It's too dangerous for you to be alone! I'm worried!"

Even the Chamber of Commerce planned its itinerary to reach the next spiritual realm before dark and to rest, and never spend the night in the fog.

Because of the double cover of night and fog, the field of vision is further restricted, and even the direction is difficult to discern. This is a huge challenge for any warrior.

Mo Yanqiu's eyes flashed with anxiety: "Are you not going to save Erhu?"

"Of course we will!" Zhou Qingshan said firmly, "But we must go together to ensure that everything is safe!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of surprise in the house.
"Young Master?!"

"Young Master?!"

"Young Master?!"

The three members of the escort team, Xie Meng, Zhou Shiqi and Sanzi, were puzzled by Zhou Qingshan's decision.

The three of them remained silent, not because they did not want to help save Erhu, but because they knew in their hearts that they had not yet condensed their source blood and would only be a burden to Mo Yanqiu in the thick fog.

They are all like this, let alone Zhou Qingshan.

"You?!"

Gao Feixue frowned and looked at Zhou Qingshan. Is this a joke at this time? Is it so unwise?
Among the people present, only Zhao Xiaoxiao and Mo Yanqiu understood the deeper meaning of Zhou Qingshan's words.

Young Master’s magical space?

That Cloud Top chessboard world!

A perfect place to rest. Even if you are delayed and need to spend the night in the mountains, you can go in and avoid the dangers at night!
Moreover, Zhou Qingshan knew that he was not a burden. In addition to logistical support, he and Mo Yanqiu also had the blessing of the [Unparalleled] golden bond.

Zhao Gang was lying on the bed. When he heard Zhou Qingshan's words, his heart was suddenly shocked.

He stared at Zhou Qingshan closely, and from his firm eyes, he read the unquestionable determination. The young man never joked rashly, and it was even more impossible at this moment.

Zhao Gang coughed violently a few times, turned to Mo Yanqiu and instructed:

“Xiao Yanqiu, the hinterland of Xipanling is too dangerous. Even the old patriarch, who has the strength close to the warrior realm, has experienced several life-and-death situations with the help of us, and lost many brothers. With your strength of just entering the warrior realm, you can’t handle it alone. It is undoubtedly a road to self-destruction. Girl, you are still young, don’t be so stubborn! ”

"Erhu... I won't save him... I won't save him..."

Without waiting for the people in the room to speak, Zhao Gang struggled to get up and leaned against the head of the bed, then covered his heart in pain, tears welling up in his eyes, and spoke in a choked voice.

"It's his fate! It's his fate... cough cough cough..."
