Chapter 459: Chapter 244: On the Verge of Success but Falling Short, Burying the Body in the Wild Mountain【Subscribe Request】

Golden Chicken Mountain.

The time was dusk, and the setting sun was already slanting west, about to disappear completely.

But the stench of blood permeated Golden Chicken Mountain, and all the wild beasts and birds had long fled without a trace.

The corpses of Demon Beasts were everywhere on the mountain, and various Cultivators were engaged in gruesomely harvesting the organs of these creatures—gouging eyes, beheading, removing gallbladders, extracting hearts, and skinning. Their methods were extremely brutal.

With so many Demon Beast corpses, it was definitely impossible to carry them all away. Zhou Chun could only have people first remove the more important materials from their bodies, or organs that could prove their identity, and then deal with them later.

Of course, if the Loose Cultivators wanted to collect the Demon Beast corpses, he would not interfere.

They kept busy until the moon came out, finally finishing a preliminary treatment of the thousand-plus Demon Beast corpses, ensuring that the Battle Merits would not be deducted for lack of evidence.

It was at that time Zhou Daoyi returned riding the Fire Divine Jackal mounted on the Green Flood Dragon.

“Clan Leader, you’re finally back. How was the battle?”

Upon seeing the returning Zhou Daoyi, Zhou Chun didn’t hesitate to ask about his gains, driven by curiosity.

Hearing this, Zhou Daoyi couldn’t help but reply somewhat gloomily, “They all got away, not a single one was slaughtered!”

He then went into detail about the situation.

It turned out that after he led the Fire Divine Jackal in pursuit, the intention was to focus their power on encircling and slaughtering the One-Horned Fire Wolf.

Just as the One-Horned Fire Wolf had set its sights on the Fire Divine Jackal’s Demon Core, Zhou Daoyi had his eye on the One-Horned Fire Wolf’s Demon Core.

If the Fire Divine Jackal could swallow the One-Horned Fire Wolf’s Demon Core and corpse, there was a high chance it could advance to a mid-tier third-order Demon Beast.

But the One-Horned Fire Wolf, being a mid-tier third-order Demon Beast with the aid of the Blue-Black Giant Eagle, was not so easy to kill.

Although they had inflicted severe injuries on it, the wolf still managed to escape back to the main force of the Beast Tide.

Moreover, this battle had exposed the presence of the Green Flood Dragon.

After listening to Zhou Daoyi’s account, Zhou Chun felt truly sorry for the Fire Divine Jackal.

For a third-order Demon Beast like the Fire Divine Jackal, since the Zhou Family could no longer provide it with Elixirs that could increase its Cultivation Level, its growth rate was actually not much faster than that of a wild third-order Demon Beast.

It’s normal for there to be little advancement in its cultivation level over a hundred years.

Now, it had encountered a mid-tier third-order Demon Beast that was a perfect match for its nature, yet it still managed to escape; it was indeed a great pity.

However, Zhou Chun did not show his disappointment. Instead, he comforted Zhou Daoyi, “The rabbit has gone but the burrow remains. As long as it’s still in the Beast Tide, we will have a chance to kill it!”

“Yes, there’s still a chance!”

Zhou Daoyi nodded, immediately comforted the injured Fire Divine Jackal, and then inquired about the gains Zhou Chun and the others had made.

“We actually gained a lot this time. We killed five second-order Demon Beasts, and a total of more than fourteen hundred first-order Demon Beasts. The Demon Beasts that escaped should be less than five hundred, and mostly fled back in the direction they came from.”

Zhou Chun paused briefly before continuing, “As for our casualties, nine Cultivators fell to the Demon Beasts during the pursuit, thirteen were injured, and two from our family were also wounded.”

After hearing his answer, Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly, “The losses are acceptable. Remember to collect the belongings and ashes of the fallen Cultivators. After the battle, hand them over to Green Lotus Temple for disposition.”

“Rest assured, Clan Leader, I have already done so,” replied Zhou Chun and then added, “But what about all these Demon Beast corpses on the mountain? If we just leave them to rot or be eaten by wild beasts, I’m afraid it will lead to the breeding of more Demon Beasts. It would be a waste to burn them as well!”

Hearing this, Zhou Daoyi knew Zhou Chun must have an idea and asked directly, “What do you think, Zhengchun?”

Without beating around the bush, Zhou Chun immediately answered, “I was thinking, maybe we can find a place to build an ice pit, temporarily freeze these Demon Beast corpses inside, and after the Beast Tide is over, transport the corpses back to the family to make beast feed!”

Without processing, the flesh of Demon Beasts is not typically consumed by Cultivators.

However, the Zhou Family could use it to prepare beast feed for the Demon Beasts they raised.

The corpses of over a thousand Demon Beasts would be enough to provide a feast for all the Demon Beasts raised by the Zhou Family for a while.

Thus, in Zhou Chun’s view, these Demon Beast corpses were also a considerable gain.

Upon hearing his plan, Zhou Daoyi quickly agreed, “That’s a good idea. If it’s just about making some ice, we can manage that.”

After speaking, he asked Zhou Chun to lead people to search the mountain for a suitable place to build an ice pit.

With Divine Sense to help, it didn’t take long for Zhou Chun to find a naturally cool location. He then released the Golden Armor Rock Turtle and asked Zhou Daoquan to send the Earth Armored Bear to assist.

The two second-order Earth Element Demon Beasts worked together, and in less than half the night, they dug out a huge pit that could accommodate the corpses of thousands of Demon Beasts.

Zhou Daoyi then came over, and with the help of Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan, the three of them began to freeze spring water into ice with their spells to line the bottom of the pit, then threw the Demon Beast corpses into the pit and covered them with another layer of ice.

Layer by layer, the thousands of Demon Beast corpses were buried in the giant pit.

After the ground was sealed, Zhou Daoyi made a point of having the Green Flood Dragon leave a strong scent of a Flood Dragon on top of the giant pit, to deter any wild beasts or Demon Beasts that might come to dig up the corpses.
