Chapter 614: Shifting Battle Situation
This was a subtle rejection.
After all, he knew very well that the other party could not possibly offer such treasures.
However, the cultivator with the surname Wu was obviously not willing to give up easily. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "I naturally cannot offer a Fourth-Order Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Pill, but I did acquire a Fourth-Order low-grade Fire Attribute Demon Pill in this battle. I am willing to exchange this item along with two millennium Treasure Medicines with Taoist Friend Zhou!"
However, Zhou Chun didn't even ask what those two millennium Treasure Medicines were. He simply shook his head and said, "Sorry, except for a Fourth-Order Thunder Flood Dragon Demon Pill, or other higher quality Thunder Attribute Demon Pills, Zhou Mou will not trade this Blue Flood Dragon Demon Pill with anyone!"
After this straightforward refusal, Zhou Chun didn't even bother to look at the other party's somewhat unpleasant expression. He made some polite remarks and went to seek others to exchange Demon Pills.
Just as the cultivator with the surname Wu coveted the Demon Pill in his hand, he too had his eyes on the Demon Pills in the hands of other cultivators, which matched his Spirit Pet's attributes. He wanted to exchange with them using Dharma Treasures he couldn't use.
In times of war like this, Dharma Treasures are still quite enticing for some Golden Core Stage cultivators, and there might be opportunities to make some trades.
But just like Zhou Chun was unwilling to part with his Fourth-Order Blue Flood Dragon Demon Pill, those Golden Core Middle Stage and Golden Core Late Stage cultivators who acquired Fourth-Order Demon Pills also seemed reluctant to part with their newly obtained Demon Pills for the moment.
Zhou Chun asked several people and was unable to achieve his desire.
But he was not in a hurry, as long as the war wasn't over, opportunities would continue to arise.
Moreover, although no one was willing to part with Fourth-Order Demon Pills, some Purple Mansion Phase cultivators were willing to use Third-Order Demon Pills to exchange for other treasures.
Zhou Chun conveniently used some Fourth Grade Talismans and Talisman Treasures, which he couldn't use himself, to exchange for several Third-Order Demon Pills.
From this, it can be seen that after this Beast Tide, if the Human Clan could secure a great victory, not only would the Zhou Family, renowned for their Beast Taming Skills, experience a rapid rise, but other forces benefitting from the war are also likely to gain substantially in the fields of Alchemy and Beast Taming.
After all, such treasures as Demon Pills are not easy to acquire in large quantities under normal circumstances.
Just three days after recapturing White River Marketplace, a great battle also occurred at the Su Family Mountain Gate.
This battle was directed by the Green-Eyed Golden Ape, which Zhou Chun had fought in the past, with as many as sixty to seventy thousand Demon Beasts and eight Fourth Order Magical Beasts fiercely attacking the Su Family Mountain Gate, making those cultivators truly feel the terror of the Beast Tide.
Luckily, at that time, there were also four Golden Core Stage cultivators and one Fourth Order Magical Beast inside the Su Family Mountain Gate, who managed to barely hold off the tide using the power of the Mountain Gate Great Array.
Zhou Chun was naturally very concerned about the situation at the Su Family Mountain Gate, and he even petitioned Qianmu True Person for permission to go and aid them.
But Qianmu True Person sensed the aura of a Fifth-order Demon King and determined that outside the White River Marketplace, there was a hidden Fifth-order Demon King, so he dared not send reinforcements from this location.
Moreover, at that time, it was not only the Su Family Mountain Gate that was under attack, but multiple strongholds along the Jiangzhou line were being fiercely assaulted by the Beast Tide, and reinforcements needed to be used at critical points.
The good news was that after recognizing the threat posed by the Beast Tide, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance of various nations quickly reached a consensus, and various aid forces were continuously pouring into Jingguo Country, with new reinforcements arriving every day.
From this perspective, perhaps Jingguo Country should thank the initial invasion by the Primordial Demon Legion.
If it weren't for the Primordial Demon Legion invasion, causing the countries of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance to feel threatened and form the Alliance, it would have been impossible to have so many nations reach a unanimous decision to provide support.
However, just as Zhou Chun and many Jingguo Country cultivators believed that with the increasing number of reinforcements, the situation would improve, a dramatic change occurred on the battlefield!
Without any warning, fifty thousand "Dragon Court Warriors" suddenly appeared within the borders of Yuezhou, and in half a day, they broke through the Tao Family's Mountain Gate, massacring the entire Tao Family and thousands of assembled reinforcements there!
In this battle alone, five Golden Core Stage cultivators fell, and the rest of the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators suffered heavy losses.
After capturing the Tao Family Mountain Gate in Yuezhou, the "Dragon Court Warriors" split into several groups, assaulting other Cultivator Family Mountain Gates in Yuezhou, leaving a trail of bloodshed and destruction!
The impact of this event was almost comparable to the breach of the Green Lotus Temple's Mountain Gate.
Not only because of the immense damage it caused, but also because the appearance of so many "Dragon Court Warriors" signified an exceptional stance by the Flood Dragon Clan in this Beast Tide.
In past Beast Tides, most were triggered by the increasing pressure from neighboring Human Clan nations, intended to disrupt their development, ease the pressure, and incidentally clear out some old and potential-exhausted Demon Beasts.
But now, even the "Dragon Court Warriors" have been deployed on a large scale to the battlefield, suggesting that this time the Flood Dragon Clan's goal in activating the Beast Tide may not just be to wreak havoc.
Perhaps they truly wish to completely overturn the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm, turning it back into a wilderness for Demon Beasts!
If such an event were to occur, the original cultivation forces of Jingguo Country might be left homeless, becoming wandering strays.
Therefore, the impact of this matter is so significant that all Nascent Soul Stage cultivators must come together again to discuss countermeasures.
One thing they must acknowledge is that if the Flood Dragon Clan is truly determined to overthrow the Jingguo Country Cultivation Realm, the power of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance alone may not be enough to stop them!
