Chapter 78 Seventy-two Essences
"The deputy captain was killed by a two-legged sheep?! How is it possible?!"

A giant rabbit that had just knocked away the guards who were surrounding it and was unharmed and in good condition heard a loud noise, turned around and looked, and was horrified by what it saw.

Its mighty aura dissipated in an instant, and it repelled a guard who rushed over. It turned around, kicked hard, and rushed towards the spiritual realm gate, trying to escape into the fog.

shhhhh!

However, a silver flash flashed, faster than the giant rabbit, and accurately hit the vital point of its heel, and the arrow was deeply embedded in it.

It was in this "mental state" that Zhou Qingshan delivered a fatal blow. The one-foot-long arrow almost completely pierced the giant rabbit's heel.

"what!!"

The giant rabbit rolled over in pain and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

It struggled and tried to escape again, but its hind legs became lame, and every attempt to run was accompanied by severe pain. It lost its previous agile jumping and running ability.

"kill!!!"

The three guards quickly seized the opportunity, and they shouted in unison, stabbing the giant rabbit with their spears like a rainstorm. Each stab was accurate and fatal, and the spears penetrated the giant rabbit's skin, splashing blood.

As the struggle gradually weakened, the giant rabbit's physical strength slowly faded away, and finally under the joint siege of the guards, it fell heavily to the ground and could not move anymore.

After dealing with this giant rabbit, the guards did not stop and went on to kill several other giant rabbits that were in poor condition.

The battle was over quickly, and the members of the escort team were breathing heavily and helping the injured who had fallen to the ground.

Three people were slightly injured, two were seriously injured, but fortunately no one died.

Looking at the six corpses on the ground, the ten farmers who had just joined the guard team, after being baptized by blood, no longer trembled in their hands, the fear and uneasiness in their hearts slowly dissipated, and their eyes became more determined.

When Zhou Qingshan and Uncle Zhao were recruiting members for the guard team, they selected farmers who had experience in dealing with human-faced bears before.

Strictly speaking, this was their third fight with the wild beast.

The first time, the human-faced bear just charged and attacked, and they were so scared that they dropped their weapons and fled in defeat. The second time, their hands and feet were shaking in the fog, but they dared to take action for the sake of survival and their children at home. The third time they faced the giant rabbit, except for their faster heartbeats and slight hand tremors, they dared to take the initiative.

The silver-white light on Zhou Qingshan's body gradually dissipated, and his hands relaxed as he slowly lowered the bow and arrow. His face looked extremely pale, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks like pearls from a broken string.

In his "mental state", what he displayed was not only archery, but also a challenge to the limits of his mind and body.

For this arrow, the bow is the man, the man is the bow, the bones are the bow, the body muscles are the strings. I mobilized all my strength to shoot it, and I lost my strength in one strike. Now my bones ache slightly, and my head feels dizzy.

Mo Yanqiu was not in a much better condition. He stimulated his mental power, dodged intensively, and displayed the secrets of the spear three times in a row in one breath. His body was overdrawn, and he was gasping for breath while holding the gun.

The strength of this giant rabbit was at least 6,000 jin, twice that of Mo Yanqiu, and it almost crushed it. Mo Yanqiu attacked head-on for the first time, hoping to rely on the strength of the two-star Zhenyue Spear to catch it off guard, but he failed to penetrate the mace, and his weapon almost slipped out of his hand.

Afterwards, Zhou Qingshan directly stimulated the power of his mind and unlocked the potential of his body, completely toying with the giant rabbit. This was the combination of advanced martial arts and sophisticated weapons. Defeating the strong with the weak was just a trivial matter.

Humans have never been known for their strength.

The first is their "ingenuity". The sophisticated weapons forged by humans are unstoppable, and the armor is indestructible, like a torrent of steel, and few alien races can resist or break it.

The second thing is "skill". Humans are an intelligent species and know how to maximize their own strength. If other races say they can exert a force of five thousand kilograms, then they can only exert a force of five thousand kilograms.

A warrior with a force of three thousand kilograms can, with the help of weapons and martial arts, briefly unleash his potential and defeat an alien with a force of seven or eight thousand kilograms.

After all, no matter how hard the flesh and blood is, it can't be harder than black iron.

"Are there any more Rabbit scouts?" With the help of Uncle Zhao, Zhou Qingshan recovered and asked while looking at the broken wooden door.

"The rabbit scouts are divided into groups of three and fifteen. There is a little arhat as the captain and two warriors as deputy captains. Judging from their injuries, the rest of the scouts should have died in the process of besieging Envoy Sun. Only these rabbits are left in the team." Mo Yan said.

Moreover, they had been exhausted after chasing Sun Wandong in the fog. Otherwise, if the other five giant rabbits, which were ten feet tall and equivalent to the level of strong men, attacked the non-combat guards, they would be either killed or crippled.

"Leave a team of people on duty here. If anything happens, retreat to Zhou's house immediately. The rest of the people will clean up the battlefield and take the seriously injured brothers home." Zhou Qingshan nodded and gave the order.

"Here."

Five people from the escort team quickly chose to stay behind, and together with Gao Feixue and Zhou Hu, they all agreed.

Zhou Qingshan and Mo Yanqiu were in poor condition, so they returned to Zhou's house with the rest of the guards.

Uncle Zhao stayed behind, called for help, and started cleaning up the battlefield.

The weapons used by the giant rabbits were very rough, not forged, and were equivalent to polished raw ore, a kind of ore called black gold. It was slightly worse than black iron, but its hardness was very good, especially the three thousand jin mace in the hands of the giant rabbit deputy captain, which was mainly black gold and mixed with most of black iron.

It is no wonder that the "Two-Star Zhenyue Spear" did not penetrate directly.

Uncle Zhao personally went down to clean up the battlefield and collected the fragments of the mace one by one.

Suddenly he stopped in front of a giant rabbit's corpse. He looked down at the arrow that pierced the giant rabbit's heel and used his remaining arm to pull it out with great effort. He stared at the arrow in a daze for a long time.

Zhou Qingshan's arrow was like a divine skill. He knew he couldn't dodge it. Also, the silver-white light that appeared on his body and Mo Yanqiu's body at the same time was obviously an incredible power.

Considering the strength of these six rabbit scouts, even if the old patriarch was present, and all the brothers of Blood Coagulation from the guard team were present, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, with more than half of them damaged.

At this moment, his eyes were hazy and he felt relieved. He finally felt that he could grow old...

Uncle Zhao came to his senses, picked up the rope, and dragged the giant rabbit's corpse into the yard.

...Inner courtyard, main house.

Xiaoxiao gently rubbed Zhou Qingshan's temples with her small hands to help him relieve his dizziness.

Mo Yanqiu was resting with her eyes closed. The power of her mind and the display of the secret technique were too exhausting, and her combat power was greatly reduced in a short period of time.

This time, [Unparalleled] was activated for less than a minute, and the two people's conditions have not yet reached their limits. Zhou Qingshan saw that [Spirit] had dropped by two-thirds, but there was no crack on the [Bond] column, but the effect became extremely weak.

Soon, Uncle Zhao came into the house and reported, "Master, the giant rabbit's body and weapons are outside the yard. If there is anything else, please tell me."

"Sorry to bother you, Uncle Zhao. It's alright. Go down and have a good rest. Get enough energy."

Zhou Qingshan opened his eyes and responded reluctantly.

"Here."

Uncle Zhao cast a glance at Xiaoxiao, then clasped his fists and quickly left the inner courtyard.

He did not leave, but closed the door gently and stood guard at the door with a knife.

Zhou Qingshan stood up, and he and Mo Yanqiu put all the giant rabbit corpses in the yard into the Yunding chessboard and sacrificed them one by one.

"Obtain eleven essences."

"Obtain nine essences."

"Obtain ten essences."

"Obtain ten essences."

"Obtain ten essences."

"Obtained seventeen essences."

Six consecutive pieces of information were transmitted into Zhou Qingshan’s mind.

There is no doubt that the seventeen essences must have come from the deputy captain of the giant rabbit scouts. The six giant rabbit corpses have a total of sixty-seven essences, plus the remaining five essences from strengthening the "Two-Star Zhenyue Spear", a total of seventy-two essences.

This was the time when Zhou Qingshan had obtained the most essence in history.

Zhou Qingshan immediately thought about upgrading the Yunding chessboard in his mind and found that it could actually be upgraded.

No hesitation.

Consumes essence.

upgrade!

As the thought came to his mind, the fifty essences in the chess piece panel shattered with a "bang", and the spiritual light in the sea of ​​consciousness spread. Then Zhou Qingshan sensed that the "fourth chess piece" spot on the Yunding chessboard had been opened.

"Yanqiu, we can now bind the fourth chess piece. I hope Erhu and Feixue can activate a bond with me."

Zhou Qingshan told his wife the good news.

The territory is in great need of immediate combat power now. The bond with the little flame bird seems strong, but now he is too weak to be of any use.

"Bind with Erhu first."

Mo Yanqiu said after thinking for a while, she was not ready to talk about this with Gao Feixue yet.

"Okay." Zhou Qingshan nodded.

The two of them left the Yunding chessboard world, drank the medicinal soup that Mr. Mo prepared with the strange flowers, ate, and then had a good sleep.

The next day.

Mo Yanqiu's strength recovered by half.

Zhou Qingshan got up and went to see Sun Wandong first. Mr. Mo had examined him before and found that the reason why Sun Wandong fell into a coma was because the warrior's body was overloaded and the limit of qi and blood burst out. He was injured in many parts of his body and even had multiple broken ribs.

Although Sun Wandong had taken the most precious healing medicine in the territory, "Jade Muscle Life Pill", his consciousness had not yet recovered and he was still in a coma.

Lord Qi has been watching over Sun Wandong since yesterday. When he is tired, he will take a nap beside him. Occasionally, he will lick Sun Wandong's cheek, with deep concern and worry in his eyes.

The lion-tiger spirit soldiers were passed down by Sun Wandong's ancestors. For 130 years, every generation of the Sun family has treated Master Qi with the courtesy of an elder and with great respect. Even the Sun family's military commanders for several generations have risked their lives to protect Master Qi on the battlefield.

Because of this, Lord Qi also treats everyone in the Sun family as his younger generation and relatives, and naturally pays special attention to Sun Wandong's safety.

This is the embodiment of the deep friendship between humans and spiritual soldiers. The trust and dependence on each other have built a harmonious bond that transcends the master-servant relationship.

Zhou Qingshan did not disturb them and quietly went back to the main house. Then he asked Xiaoxiao to notify Zhou Hu to come.

……

　Everyone, from now on the update will be at 6pm, so you don’t have to wait at noon.
