Chapter 76 Rabbit Scout

"you?"

Sun Wandong was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Qingshan's words. He looked at Zhou Qingshan carefully. He saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor, but was slightly thin, with slender fingers without calluses, and was obviously not a person who practiced martial arts for many years.

Sun Wandong reminded Zhou Qingshan out of good intentions:

"You know, according to the law, there are two strict requirements for inheriting the position of lord: first, you must be a direct blood relative of the lord; second, you must be a warrior who has condensed the source blood."

Once this report is submitted, an envoy from the Inspection Department will come to verify it with the lord's order. There is absolutely no possibility of falsification in this process.

"Know."

Zhou Qingshan nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "But my eldest brother is missing. Apart from me, there are only my eight-year-old sister and younger brother left in the family. There are no other adult males."

After hearing this, Sun Wandong's expression became serious. After thinking for a moment, he proposed a feasible suggestion to Zhou Qingshan:

“As the direct descendants of the Black Dragon Army, the Zhou family might as well make a request to the City Lord’s Mansion to disband the existing guard team and exchange the family’s name for the honorary title of warrior, and then move the whole family to Black Cloud City to seek the protection of the City Lord.”

This practice is not uncommon in recent years. In the past ten years, many rural lords have chosen to return their territories and retain the title of warriors because they could not maintain their livelihoods. After obtaining the household registration of Black Cloud City, they can still enjoy the right to practice martial arts.

However, with such household registration, there is only one quota for practicing martial arts every five years.

He was born like this, but his family was once a general of the Black Dragon Army and enjoyed the honor of living directly in the inner city. After his father died, his son inherited the family business. He learned martial arts with great success and continued to serve Black Cloud City.

However, Zhou Qingshan was unwilling to give up his family's territory and move to Black Cloud City. He turned to introduce Mo Yanqiu to Sun Wandong:
"Emissary Sun, this is my wife. She is a warrior at the level of a powerful warrior. We are united as husband and wife and will inherit the position of lord. I believe we can meet the requirements of the law."

Sun Wandong glanced at Mo Yanqiu who had been following Zhou Qingshan. It was rare that the strongest person in the guard team was actually a woman, and she was also the wife of this young man. It was this person who subconsciously protected the young man before and dared to mobilize troops against "Lord Qi". Her courage was commendable.

Although Sun Wandong was surprised, he also understood that this was the Zhou family's private matter and should not be investigated further.

The two chatted at the table for a while until someone from the guard team came to report that the hot water was ready and the guest room had been arranged.

After learning that everything was arranged, Sun Wandong got up, said goodbye, and went to the guest room to rest.

……

……

The next day.

After lunch, Sun Wandong told Zhou Qingshan not to worry about the Eternal Day Beast, as Black Cloud City would send messengers to clean it up later. After that, he rode on Lord Qi and continued to set off for the next spiritual realm.

Wait for Sun Wandong to leave.

Zhou Qingshan summoned the guards.

Divide the treasure.

Gao Feixue got a two-star long sword, and Zhou Hu chose the three-piece armor set, which included shoulder armor, arm armor, and gauntlets. However, since he didn't have a suitable weapon, he took an 800-jin stone lock from his home and made a big hammer.

As for the other parts of the armor, the breastplate was too large. Among the guards, only Zhou Shiqi, who was of strong build and 1.9 meters tall, could barely wear it. However, his blood was not coagulated, so he could not carry the several hundred kilograms of weight to fight.

"Master, when are we going to hunt the exotic beasts today?"

Gao Feixue was very satisfied with the two-star long sword she got. The quality was very close to the level of precious weapons, the weight was appropriate, and it was very handy, far superior to the previous superior ordinary weapon. She was just looking for a strange beast to test the sharpness of the weapon. Zhou Qingshan glanced at this warmongering person, "I was not thoughtful yesterday. Hunting strange beasts in the fog is too dangerous. At present, there is no shortage of meat at home, so I will stop hunting strange beasts for the time being. You should kill the strange beasts that break into the spiritual realm."

Zhou Hu patted his arm armor confidently and said, "Master, now that we have these armors and weapons, the risk of hunting exotic beasts has been greatly reduced. Although there are dangers, they are completely within our control. Don't miss this opportunity."

Except for two edible exotic beasts in the house, the corpses of the rest of the exotic beasts mysteriously disappeared, and the owner of the house was obviously very eager for the corpses of the exotic beasts.

The corpse of this strange beast will definitely be of great use.

"Yes, patriarch. At worst, Captain Zhou and I will take two brothers with us, and we will form a group of four. There will never be any accidents again." Gao Feixue followed.

Zhou Qingshan pondered for a moment, as if weighing the risks and benefits.

At this time, Uncle Zhao stood up and said, "Master, it is good for the guards to experience more actual combat. The growth of a warrior requires constant tempering in battle."

Mo Yanqiu also put forward his own suggestion: "Husband, let Feixue, Erhu and I take turns leading the team to go out and hunt exotic beasts."

The essence is extremely important to them. It is not only related to the growth of the little flame bird, but also closely related to the opening of new chess pieces on the Cloud Top chessboard. In addition, it was discovered yesterday that the essence can also be used to refine weapons, and the current stock is obviously far from enough.

Zhou Qingshan felt Mo Yanqiu's firm determination, so he agreed to their request, but made it clear that they must lead the team in twos and act in groups of four to ensure safety.

The three of them, along with four guards, headed to the Spirit Realm Gate and began to work.

This time, Zhou Qingshan did not go with them. Instead, he took Uncle Zhao to the territory to recruit ten young and strong farmers with the best physical strength and patience to practice with the three guard members.

He wanted to expand the manpower to replace the guard team in guarding the spiritual realm checkpoints, freeing up more time for the guard team to practice.

At present, the guard team eats exotic beast meat for every meal, plus blood-replenishing pills. They can do a big exercise every three days, and their qi and blood grow rapidly.

The one who made the fastest progress was Zhou Shiqi, who was able to condense source blood in the last one or two weeks.

The three of them had a great harvest during the whole morning, hunting down five exotic beasts. They returned to the yard to eat and handed the corpses of the exotic beasts to Zhou Qingshan.

They were all strange and weird, and Zhou Qingshan sacrificed them all to the chessboard, and unexpectedly obtained sixteen essences. Together with the previous essences, he had twenty essences. He tested it and found that he could not upgrade the Yunding chessboard.

After the three of them had eaten and rested, they continued to hunt exotic beasts.

But they were not so lucky in the afternoon. The strange beasts nearby died one after another in the stream. Knowing that there was a powerful predator here, few "Silly Spores" were tempted to come here.

It took them a whole afternoon to hunt down a strange beast outside the spiritual realm. It was really a silly spore with red flowers.

Zhou Qingshan asked Doctor Mo to take a look. This silly spore meat can restore muscles, and it is buy one get one free. The strange red flower is also very effective for external injuries.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Qingshan asked Xiaoxiao to start preparing dinner.

Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.

Mo Yanqiu and two guards hurried back with Sun Wandong, who was covered in blood and unconscious.

Following closely behind was Lord Qi, whose condition was equally worrying, with scars all over his body and only one of his originally majestic three tails left.
