Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 673 - 345: Thousand Leaves Forest, Wood Charm Appears [Please Subscribe]_2

In the end, Insect Cultivators were still too rare in the Cultivation World, and many cultivators lacked vigilance against them.

This allowed Zhou Chun to quickly overhear a conversation between several Huang Family Cultivators.

Stripping away the irrelevant talk, Zhou Chun roughly learned three things about the Wood Charm from the conversation of the Huang Family Cultivators.

First, the Wood Charm had the ability to injure a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and its actual strength was estimated to be comparable to that of a second-order superior Demon Beast.

Second, the Wood Charm's form was that of a Deer Demon.

Third, the Wood Charm's true body had not been found yet.

After learning this, Zhou Chun was somewhat relieved.

He had been worried that the Huang Family had already found the Wood Charm's true body, which would have been troublesome.

It is known that although Wood Charms are born from the spirit of ancient trees and can act freely without their original body,

most Wood Charms will not stray far from their original body and will always live in the forests near it.

Moreover, when their original body is threatened, Wood Charms will also fight to the death to protect it.

If the Huang Family had located the true body of the Wood Charm, they could force the Wood Charm to reveal itself by threatening to damage its true body.

In that case, Zhou Chun would have no opportunity to snatch the prize from the tiger's mouth.

After all, the Supreme Elder of the Huang Family was a mid-Purple Mansion cultivator, definitely not someone he could deal with.

Following this, Zhou Chun did not continue eavesdropping but started searching for the true body of the Wood Charm himself.

The Wood Charm possessed a strong sense of danger and the ability to conceal itself within the forest. With the current disturbance caused by Human Cultivators, it would definitely choose to evade a late Foundation Establishment cultivator like Zhou Chun.

Hoping to find the Wood Charm and capture it was highly unrealistic.

The only chance for Zhou Chun to capture the Wood Charm was to find its true body and then force it to reveal itself and attack him.

But finding the true body of the Wood Charm was no easy task.

The ancient tree that bore the Wood Charm would return to being ordinary, just like any other tree, once it separated from its original body.

Therefore, any ancient tree in this forest could be the Wood Charm's true body.

At this point, Zhou Chun's only option to find the true body of the Wood Charm was a rather crude method.

He released a large number of "Mystical Armor Golden Feathers" Demon Insects to bite every ancient tree they passed by.

"Mystical Armor Golden Feather" was a Metal Attribute Demon Insect and liked to suck tree sap, posing a great threat to the ancient trees and being their natural enemy.

The ancient trees bitten by them would have wounds that were difficult to heal, with some areas directly dying.

If the Wood Charm's true body was bitten, the Wood Charm would definitely sense it and come to protect it.

Although there were many ancient trees in the forest, Zhou Chun had no shortage of Demon Insects, making this clumsy method quite practical.

However, Zhou Chun, who thought his method was foolproof, still underestimated the audacity and limits of the Huang Family.

The very next day after he overheard the conversation of the Huang Family Cultivators, they started a forest fire in the area where the Wood Charm was active!

They attempted to use widespread arson to locate the Wood Charm's true body and force it to show itself!

Such behavior was indeed audacious.

It was well-known that the Thousand Leaves Forest was an important resource site for Shen Country, with countless Loose Cultivators relying on it for their livelihood.

This act of arson would deal a destructive blow to the various resources in the forest. If the fire spread too widely, it could potentially burn down the entire Thousand Leaves Forest!

If word got out, the Huang Family would certainly face the angry denouncement and relentless retaliation of the Loose Cultivators, and might even be abandoned by the Sect power they relied on.

But it had to be admitted, setting a fire was indeed the simplest and most effective method.

Once the fire started, it would not only force the Wood Charm to reveal itself, but also greatly limit the effectiveness of the Wood Charm's Wood Escape Technique, and reduce the power of other wood attribute spells.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun no longer engaged in looking for a needle in a haystack. He immediately retracted his Demon Insects, took to the skies, and followed the inferno to look for the Wood Charm's tracks.

The Wood Charm had yet to detect him when his figure was already seen by a Huang Family Cultivator.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Huang family immediately flew towards him and from a distance, cupped his hands before saying, "Fellow daoist, please halt. The Huang Family of Yellow Stone Mountain is pursuing a felon here. We kindly ask you to move elsewhere to avoid any misunderstandings!"

"Just because you're pursuing a felon, you can set the forest ablaze? The Huang family is really quite bold!"

Zhou Chun's face was gloomy as he looked at the Huang Family Cultivator opposite him, speaking in a most unfriendly tone.

This attitude caused the Huang Family Cultivator opposite him to falter, who then hastened to explain, "You misunderstand, sir. We did not intentionally set the forest on fire. It was merely the aftermath of a spell battle that ignited it, and we will soon extinguish the blaze. We will certainly prevent it from spreading further!"

As if afraid Zhou Chun wouldn't believe him, he continued, "The Supreme Elder of our Huang Family is also here. If you do not believe me, you may follow me and confront him personally."

Zhou Chun certainly wouldn't go meet with that mid-Purple Mansion cultivator of the Huang Family, and he knew his words were an implicit warning for him not to cause trouble.

Quickly, he waved his hand and said, "There's no need for confrontation. I just hope the Huang Family can handle this as you said, because if things get out of hand, it'll be too late for regrets!"

Having said that, he truly turned and left.

It was only after watching Zhou Chun's figure disappear into the horizon that the Huang Family Cultivator returned to report.

What he didn't know was that after Zhou Chun left, he approached the burning area again from the ground.

This time, Zhou Chun didn't rush to ascend and observe the situation within the burning area. He simply watched the Huang Family Cultivators who were floating in the sky.

If the Wood Charm made an appearance, those Huang Family Cultivators would certainly take action.

Perhaps it was the warning given earlier by Zhou Chun that made the Huang Family Cultivators apprehensive. They were also deliberately controlling the direction of the fire's spread by using spells to call down rain, ensuring the flames did not spread outside their designated area.

At the same time, Demon Beasts within the forest were actively fighting the fire.

A group of Rock Armor Pig Demon Beasts, after casting "Rock Armor Technique" on themselves, charged into the burning area to knock down the burning trees and smother the fire.

There was also a group of Demon Monkeys leading a large number of monkeys to beat the fire with branches.

These Demon Beasts loved the home where they lived and made their nests dearly and tried their best to save it.

However, when it comes to who loved this forest the most, it was obviously the Wood Charm.

The Wood Charm was like the darling of the forest, a child of the woods, and it undoubtedly despised and was most angered by such large-scale destruction of the forest.

It wasn't long before its figure appeared within the burning forest.

An azure-green Azure Deer could be seen dashing through the forest. Wherever it went, trees and wild grasses withered and died rapidly, turning into rotting wood and fragments scattered on the ground.

Flecks of verdant spiritual light spilled out from those trees and wild grasses and were all absorbed by the Azure Deer.

In the blink of an eye, a buffer zone dozens of feet wide had formed in the area where the Azure Deer had run.

This scene seemed inconspicuous at first, but when that buffer zone stretched out for tens of miles, it became very noticeable from the sky.

A Huang Family Cultivator on high-altitude lookout, upon seeing this scene, excitedly raised his hand to ignite a signal firework.

Boom!

As the booming explosion of the signal firework resounded in the sky, Zhou Chun, who was not far away, also saw it.

He didn't have to think to realize the meaning of that signal firework and hurried towards that location.

Not much time passed before Zhou Chun saw that long buffer zone, as well as the tirelessly running Azure Deer.

"To strip vitality from plants, causing them to wither quickly and form a natural buffer zone, it is truly the act of a Spirit Monster born from the blessings of nature's intelligence. Such spiritual wisdom is indeed extraordinary, not something ordinary Demon Beasts can compare with!"

Zhou Chun's eyes gleamed as he marveled at the wisdom shown by the Azure Deer.

But even though the Azure Deer was clever, this time it had fallen for the tricks of humans.

The buffer zone it created was actually useless. If the Huang Family Cultivators wished, they could easily cross it and set another fire.

Its current actions were ultimately futile.

But was this really the case?

Just as Zhou Chun was about to take action swiftly and seize the Azure Deer before the Purple Mansion Cultivator of the Huang Family could arrive, a shocking discovery made him stop abruptly!
