Chapter 80 Psychic Bird

Important matter?

Zhou Qingshan raised his eyebrows, stood up and went to the small courtyard where Mr. Mo was.

At this time, Sun Wandong finished drinking the medicine soup. Lord Qi surrounded Sun Wandong and kept making "woooo" sounds, rubbing him from time to time. His only remaining tail kept wagging. He looked very excited, not as calm as when Zhou Qingshan first met him.

"Lord Qi, cough, cough... I'm sorry, Wandong made you worry." Sun Wandong coughed and gently stroked Lord Qi's head and said.

"Envoy Sun." Zhou Qingshan walked into the room and bowed.

Upon hearing the voice, Sun Wandong turned around, bowed and saluted, saying, "My Lord, you are here... Thank you for saving my life."

"It's just a piece of cake." Zhou Qingshan waved his hand.

"The Rabbit Clan scouts lost the little Arhat, and they cannot report back to their mission, so they will definitely pursue them relentlessly. The Lord's guards were able to repel them, but they must have suffered heavy casualties. I will compensate them for this, but please do not blame Lord Qi for bringing them here."

Sun Wandong bowed on the sickbed.

“Uh…” Zhou Qingshan was stunned when he saw how sincere he was.

The lord is responsible for clearing dangers near the spiritual realm, and the patrol envoy is also responsible for clearing dangers in the wilderness. The two are at the same level.

His lord status is just a little higher, but in the final analysis, strength is the most important thing in this world. Sun Wandong is a warrior and a military commander, and he can even give orders to him directly.

Not to mention, when facing the alien tribes in the wilderness, Zhou Qingshan has the obligation to provide shelter to the inspector.

Seeing Zhou Qingshan was silent, Sun Wandong thought that one of his loved ones had died there, so he bowed again and said solemnly:

"I understand that material compensation can never make up for the preciousness of life. If the Lord needs anything, just let me know. I, Sun Wandong, will do my best and go all out..."

"The messenger misunderstood."

Zhou Qingshan suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him and said with a smile:
"Only a few of our guards were injured, and their lives are not in danger. Don't talk about compensation. This is the lord's duty."

Being able to make friends with a military commander with good character is far more valuable than any material wealth.

"No one died?" Sun Wandong was stunned. He looked at Zhou Qingshan in disbelief.

He and Lord Qi fought with all their might, and the little arhat of the rabbit tribe was in a desperate battle, but he was more skilled. If the other scouts of the rabbit tribe had not surrounded and killed him at the risk of their lives, fifteen against one, how could he have gotten to this point?

When he broke through, only eight of the fifteen Rabbit Clan scouts were still able to fight, including a slightly injured deputy captain, who was strong enough to fight against the warriors in the blood exchange stage, but he was actually repelled by two warriors and dozens of guards who had not condensed their source blood? !
And no one died?

"Is it true that no one died?" Sun Wandong asked again, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

"Indeed not." Zhou Qingshan replied calmly.

"It's really not easy for My Lord to be able to repel eight rabbit scouts." Sun Wandong was silent for a moment, with a hint of admiration and emotion in his words.

Zhou Qingshan smiled slightly and corrected:
"Instead of eight, there are only five rabbit scouts. And, this is all thanks to you, the messenger, for injuring them in the previous battle, and then they were chased for a while, which greatly reduced their energy. If not for this, it would not be easy for Shengfeng Territory to repel them."

"Five rabbit scouts..." Sun Wandong pondered for a moment and believed Zhou Qingshan's words. After chasing for dozens of miles, some of the rabbit scouts might have been bleeding and injured, exhausted, and fell on the way.

Then, Zhou Qingshan turned to the main topic and asked, "The messenger has woken up. What's the important matter?"

Sun Wandong said solemnly, "The defense line of the city is empty. Some aliens have crossed the Sunset Mountains and entered the heart of the rural spiritual realm. I request that the Lord immediately send people to Black Cloud City to report this matter."

The Sunset Mountains stretch for three thousand miles, and most of the spiritual realms and even the Black Cloud City are located within it. Among them, Longmen Pass and the seven city towns support each other, helping each other and forming three lines of defense against the alien races in the wilderness.

Previously, if a territory had important matters to report to Black Cloud City, it only needed to send a team of people with bamboo slips to the next spiritual realm. Then the lord of that spiritual realm would continue to pass on the information, one stop after another, and they could travel about 18 miles a day without having to stay overnight in the spiritual realm.

But now, during the eternal daytime of the thirteenth month, the following spiritual realms were slaughtered by monsters and were empty. To report this matter, at least Mo Yanqiu, Gao Feixue, Zhou Hu and all of him would be needed.

But what should we do if the territory is vacant and alien beasts invade? What should we do if we are attacked by first-level alien beasts many times in the thick fog?

Zhou Qingshan had personally experienced such a dangerous situation, and even though he was well prepared, he was unwilling to take the risk again. He looked embarrassed and said to Sun Wandong:
"The power of our territory is limited. Madam is weak after killing the rabbit scouts and is unable to cross the wilderness fog. Messenger, do you have any other way to deliver the message to Black Cloud City?"

Sun Wandong was silent for a moment after hearing this: "This... I just used the psychic bird the day before yesterday to report the matter of the spiritual realm to Black Cloud City. Xiao Qi will need at least three to five days to come back."

"Three to five days?"

Zhou Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's wait a while. Even if we set out immediately and everything goes smoothly on the journey, it will still take us five days to reach Black Cloud City."

"Alas, it can only be like this."

Sun Wandong sighed, then struggled to stand up, took out a piece of fluorescent stone and a piece of white jade-like gravel from his arms, and handed them to Zhou Qingshan:

"I am seriously injured and cannot move easily. This is Xiao Qi's spiritual stone. Please send someone with the spiritual stone to wait at the spiritual gate every day. When Xiao Qi returns, report the news. Be sure to trigger a first-level "red" alert. You can use this "spiritual stone fragment." "

"First-level "red" alert?! I understand." Zhou Qingshan took the colored fluorescent stone and white gravel and nodded heavily.

This "psychic bird" is a kind of spiritual beast, a strange creature born from this colorful fluorescent stone. It has no entity, but a rainbow light in the shape of a bird. It has human-like nature, flies very fast, can ignore the danger of fog, and transmit important information.

Since it is a ball of air, it cannot be intercepted without special means. However, the cost of feeding this kind of "strange creature" is huge. It needs to be fed a spirit stone fragment each time it is used. It is usually only used in urgent matters in Black Cloud City.

It is also the "military order" of Black Cloud City.

When seeing the first-class 'red' alert psychic bird, any subordinate of Black Cloud City must not disobey, otherwise they will be punished by military law.

Zhou Qingshan had seen this "psychic bird" once when he was a child. It was sent by the City Lord's Mansion to recruit rural spirit warriors to resist the invasion of foreign races. It was the lowest third-level alert. His father led the guard team and uncles out, and they returned safely in just two weeks.

Spirit stone fragments are a precious resource, and only complete and high-quality spirit stones can activate spirit veins. Spirit stone fragments can be activated with blood in the wilderness fog, temporarily forming an environment similar to the spirit realm, but only within a one-meter range.

It is equivalent to an "oxygen cylinder" and can save a life at a critical moment. It has a market value of one hundred Baoyuan.

One can imagine how big an appetite the psychic bird has by consuming one spirit stone fragment at a time.

Zhou Qingshan gave Xiao Xiao some instructions and asked someone to take good care of Sun Wandong. He then called Zhou Hu to go out and head towards the spiritual realm pass.

At this time, Mo Yanqiu, Gao Feixue and Zhao Shu were leading the guard team and dozens of farmers to repair the wooden door.

Zhou Qingshan stepped forward and told Mo Yanqiu and the members of the escort team about the colored fluorescent stone and broken spirit stones.

Uncle Zhao realized the seriousness of the situation. If a team of foreign scouts appeared here, a second team might appear. He stepped forward and carefully took it, saying solemnly.

"Please rest assured, Patriarch, I will be here day and night, and will report this matter as soon as possible."

Zhou Qingshan was extremely confident about Uncle Zhao. He didn't say much and just whispered a few words to Mo Yanqiu.

At this time, Zhou Hu, holding an 800-jin stone lock hammer, suddenly said, "Master, I want to go outside the spiritual realm and find a strange beast to try my hand."

Zhou Qingshan saw the excitement in his eyes and knew that his strength had increased dramatically because of the power of the bond [Bravery] he had just obtained.

Now Zhou Hu's spirit on paper has surpassed Yan Qiu. He looked at the armor on Zhou Hu's arms and the 800-jin stone lock hammer he DIYed, one for attack and one for defense.

Mo Yanqiu, who has not activated the power of his "mind", would probably have to work hard to defeat such an opponent.

He might even be suppressed by Zhou Hu. A lot of information on these bonds is hidden, just like the [Unparalleled]. He also couldn't guarantee the power of [Bravery], only the blessings on the panel.

Zhou Qingshan thought about it, and this time he did not say anything to stop him, but said casually:
"Don't go too far away, safety is the most important thing."
