“Eighteenth brother, your Ironback Bear must not only serve as a meat shield; you must let it engage in close combat and coordinate with your attacks,” Zhou Chun instructed.

“Seventeenth brother, you and our sister shouldn’t only focus on one Blackwater Crocodile. Pay more attention and lend a hand to those nephews!”

“No good, Niece Xinhuai, beware behind you!”

By the riverbank, on the grassy field, Zhou Zhenglan, who had the highest cultivation level present, was reluctantly made the team leader, commanding other clan members in a fierce struggle against the Blackwater Crocodiles while also functioning as a firefighter alongside her husband, Pang Chong, rushing to assist clan members in danger.

In truth, the issue was that they lacked experience.

If only they had had experience in coordinated combat, the dozen or so Blackwater Crocodiles would not have stood a chance against them, well-equipped as they were.

Time brings great changes to the world.

The Zhou Family of today was no longer comparable to the Zhou Family of twenty or thirty years ago.

When the Zhou Family first took root at Jiufeng Ridge, due to the division of the family assets, not much had been allocated to them, to the extent that when Zhou Chun’s magic artifact broke, he couldn’t even turn to the family for a replacement.

But now, for Zhou Family Cultivators who reach the Qi Refinement Realm’s middle or later stages, the family awards them with magic artifacts that correspond to their cultivation levels.

Moreover, this time they left, the family issued not only a spare magic artifact corresponding to their cultivation levels to these combatants but also distributed twenty talismans and a quantity of elixirs.

Under such well-equipped conditions, dealing with Blackwater Crocodiles whose fighting power was not that impressive after coming ashore was not difficult!

Therefore, after experiencing initial panic and realizing that the Blackwater Crocodiles were not particularly strong, the twelve Zhou Family Cultivators finally began to recover from their panic and started understanding how to fight in a coordinated manner against the enemy.

When they actually began to cooperate in combat, they quickly achieved results that were heartening.

One Blackwater Crocodile after another was successively slain by them, and before long, they completely ended the battle.

After the last Blackwater Crocodile had been smashed to death by the punch of Zhou Xinlan’s Redflame Vajra Ape spirit pet, Zhou Chun slowly descended from the sky. He then nodded gently to the Zhou Family Cultivators who had just experienced a tough fight and said:

“Well done; I hope you can learn from the lessons of this battle, learn more about cooperative fighting, how to make rational use of everyone’s magic artifacts, talismans, and spirit beasts, to fully unleash your own strength, and even perform beyond normal expectations.”

His words were an affirmation of the twelve people’s merits.

Hence, the Zhou Family Cultivators who heard his speech couldn’t help but reveal uncontrollable joy, and they responded in unison, “Yes, we will certainly bear in mind the Vice Clan Leader’s teachings!”

“Alright, let’s clean up the battlefield then. These Blackwater Crocodiles don’t have much worth mentioning; just take their eyes as proof and that’ll suffice!”

Zhou Chun waved his hand, making further arrangements.

In the Beast Tide, slaying Demon Beasts also entailed battle merits.

To gain battle merits from slaying Demon Beasts, one had to present relevant proof to the cultivators from the three major sects responsible for tallying battle merits.

For example, when slaying Blackwater Crocodiles, one had to show a pair of their eyes; naturally, having the whole carcass was even better.

For slaying some second-order Demon Beasts, one might even need to present an entire carcass or at least half a carcass to be recognized.

Shortly afterward, fourteen pairs of Blackwater Crocodile eyes were collected and handed over to Zhou Chun for safekeeping.

The carcasses of the Blackwater Crocodiles themselves were feasted on by the Zhou Family’s spirit pets and then discarded on the riverbank.

The Zhou Family’s group then continued on foot, moving upstream against the current, clearing away the Demon Beasts that had penetrated inland.

Just like that, in one day, Zhou Chun and his group had traveled over a hundred li along the riverbank, slaying forty-six first-order Demon Beasts along the way.

Among them, just a few higher-grade first-order Demon Beasts were personally slain by Zhou Chun; the rest were treated as sharpening stones and handed over to the twelve Zhou Family Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators to deal with.

After a day of intense combat, these Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators, who were new to the battlefield, finally honed a bit of sharpness and began to understand how to kill the enemy and survive on the battlefield.

“The task for today ends here. I will take you back to the base now. After returning, remember to reflect on today’s experiences, to draw lessons, and to avoid repeating the same mistakes next time!”

Outside a small fishing village by the river, Zhou Chun, who had come to inspect the area, glanced at the peaceful atmosphere inside the village and with a sweep of his arm, concluded the patrol.

Since this riverside fishing village hadn’t suffered any attacks from Demon Beasts, it indicated that the Demon Beasts moving upstream had not yet been this way, which meant the river was temporarily clear.

Without delay, Zhou Chun summoned Baibai, the Silver Lightning Python that had been resting all along, to carry the now utterly exhausted twelve Zhou Family Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators back to the base by flight.

When they returned to the base, there seemed to be many more people inside than a day before, and Zhou Chun also noticed many Cultivators who appeared to be Loose Cultivators.

After handing over their task, Zhou Daoyi, who had been at the base the entire time, also brought up Master Qingling’s arrangements.

“According to Master Qingling’s plans, next, our Zhou Family along with a few other capable families will form their own separate teams, and some Loose Cultivators will be added to create hundred-man teams. Later, he will directly issue orders to us team leaders, and all we have to do is follow them,” Zhou Daoyi said.

Hearing this, Zhou Chun’s expression showed a slight surprise as he muttered, “This is the time to delegate authority. This Master Qingling has quite the courage!”
