But now is not the time to talk about this matter, nor is it the time to blame Xu Fu.

Zhou Chun quickly asked with a heavy face: "How is the situation in other places now?"

"There is no news about a silver sandstone vein near Longxing Valley, but we can still contact the other veins!"

Xu Fu quickly explained the situation in a low voice.

Hearing his answer, Zhou Chun felt relieved.

Then he looked at him and ordered: "Immediately send a message to all places, asking them to huddle in the mine veins of the stronghold and no longer go out. Wait patiently for the next instructions from the family."

"Yes, junior, let's do it now!"

Xu Fu quickly responded respectfully and went to handle the matter immediately.

Zhou Chun, on the other hand, pondered for a moment, then released Mu Mei Mu Sang, letting him go to Longxing Valley to investigate the situation first.

But before he could understand the situation in Longxing Valley through Mu Mei Mu Sang, Xu Fu came over to report another matter.

"Reporting to the clan leader, my subordinates have just received multiple messages, saying that many places where mortals gather have been attacked by groups of monsters and beasts in the past few days, resulting in countless casualties!"

Um?

Zhou Chun's eyes narrowed, and he keenly captured an important piece of information. He immediately stared at Xu Fu and asked, "You just said you were attacked by a group of monsters? Is it a group of the same kind of monsters?"

Hearing his words, Xu Fu replied with some embarrassment: "This subordinate doesn't know either. The person who summoned was some Qi-training monks and did not mention this matter in detail."

"Then immediately arrange for people who are good at investigation to investigate. I need more detailed information!"

Zhou Chun gave the order in a cold tone.

"Yes, junior, let's do it now, let's do it now!"

Xu Fu couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe his forehead, and hurriedly retreated.

After waiting like this for most of a day, Mu Mei Mu Sang came over first to relay its investigation findings to Zhou Chun.

According to its investigation, the Longxing Valley stronghold has indeed been completely destroyed, and there is not even a single corpse at the scene!

However, there are no third-order monsters there now. There are only three second-order monster wolves and hundreds of first-order monster wolves entrenched there, and they seem to be planning to make their home there.

However, Mu Mei Mu Sang discovered as many as five hidden third-level monsters and a fourth-level badger monster within hundreds of miles nearby!

Obviously, these monsters are fishing, hoping to catch more human monks!

"It seems that these monster beasts suddenly attacked the Longxing Valley stronghold not on a whim, but on a premeditated plan!"

"After all, is it still the smoothness of the past two hundred years that makes people lose their vigilance?"

Zhou Chun murmured to himself, feeling a little heavy.

The loss of a Longxing Valley is not a big deal to the Zhou family, even if two of the foundation-building monks among them died!

But if the monsters in the wilderness realize that there are other human monks in the wilderness and start to purposefully clean up the human monks' strongholds and ambush the human monks, it will be a huge blow to the Zhou family!

At the extreme end, the Zhou family may even have to temporarily withdraw from the wilderness to avoid being followed directly to their nest.

"I hope it won't come to that!"

Zhou Chun sighed, but sent Mu Mei Mu Sang out again, asking him to continue investigating around the Caiyu Mountain stronghold to see if there were any abnormalities here.

Since those monsters can discover Longxing Valley, there is no guarantee that Caiyu Mountain will not be discovered. This matter must be guarded against!

In the following days, more and more intelligence came to Zhou Chun, giving him a new perspective on the attack on Longxing Valley.

Judging from the intelligence, Longxing Valley was attacked by monsters. Although there was some premeditation, it was probably still an unplanned disaster!

Because according to intelligence gathered from various sources, the number and population of monster beasts in the vast area of ​​​​the wilderness near Jingguo are increasing significantly.

Many monster beast populations have migrated from other distant regions, and there are fourth-level monster beasts behind them to drive them away.

Moreover, the number of third-order monsters and fourth-order monsters has also increased significantly, and it has even happened that different types of fourth-order monsters coexist in a spiritual mountain blessed land.

All these signs point to one word - beast tide!

Zhou Chun has reason to suspect that the person behind all this is the fifth-level demon king, and it should be the dragon clan!

Calculating the time, it has been almost a hundred years since King Lei Jiao fell in Jingguo.

Such a fifth-level demon king fell in Jingguo, and even rumored powerful beings such as the Golden Horned Dragon King suffered great losses in Jingguo. This can be said to be a big deal!

With the monster's vengeful character, how could it possibly go back without thinking of revenge?

Not long after the Hualong Sect was destroyed, Zhou Chun discovered that many groups of monsters had migrated deep into the wilderness, and suspected that there might be a monster wave in the future.

Now, after hundreds of years of development, those monster beast groups have indeed grown stronger.

Now that a large number of monster beasts have migrated in again, leading to the exposure and destruction of Longxing Valley, Zhou Chun is basically certain that the beast tide will break out in the near future.

And from the fact that the Jiaolong clan endured for hundreds of years before launching revenge, we can know that this beast wave will definitely be a big beast wave, and whether Jingguo can withstand it is a question mark!

Of course, those are things for the future.

Now Zhou Chun is faced with an important decision: whether to evacuate the relevant personnel in a timely manner before the Caiyushan stronghold is exposed!

You must know that after one or two hundred years of continuous investment in development, the number of monks driven by the Zhou family in the wilderness has now reached hundreds!

Even if dozens of people were lost in the destruction of Longxing Valley, there are still hundreds of people here.

If these people do not evacuate, and the Caiyushan stronghold and those small strongholds are discovered again, making the same mistake as the Longxing Valley stronghold, the Zhou family will suffer huge losses, which will definitely break their muscles and bones.

But if people are removed at this time, let alone how to resettle these people and how to ensure that they will not leak secrets after returning to Jingguo, the blow to the Zhou family's finances alone will be huge!

It should be noted that the financial revenue contributed by the wilderness land has now reached 20-30% of the Zhou family's overall financial revenue, and this does not include the part of the trade with the alien tribe of scaled frogs!

If the stronghold and mineral veins here are completely abandoned, the Zhou family's financial deficit will soar rapidly, the situation of being unable to make ends meet will be inevitable, and it will be almost difficult to find other ways to alleviate it.

This huge consequence made Zhou Chun dare not make such a decision easily.

After thinking for a long time with a heavy face, he called Xu Fu in front of him and said: "In this way, for the time being, the several mineral veins and strongholds on the front line with Longxing Valley will be abandoned, and the relevant personnel will be withdrawn secretly, and I will let the spiritual pets

Help cover in secret."

Then he released Mu Mei Mu Sang to help evacuate.

Then he personally went to the Scaled Frog Alien Tribe and met with Bahar, the High Priest of the Scaled Frog Alien.

Through the conversation with Bahar, Zhou Chun learned that the situation in the Longyuanze waters is currently relatively stable, not much different from usual.

This made him realize that the dragon clan was probably not completely ready yet, and the beast tide would not break out within three or two years!

This also made him secretly relieved, knowing that he still had time to weigh and think.

Immediately, Bahar was asked to help monitor the water situation, and if there was any change, he should notify the Zhou family in time.

Then he returned to the Caiyu Mountain stronghold with a heavy heart.

A few days later, when Mu Mei Mu Sang successfully escorted the retreated monks back, Zhou Chun asked him to temporarily stay around the Caiyu Mountain stronghold to provide warning for the area, while he returned to Tuyun Ridge first.

After returning to his family, Zhou Chun immediately explained the situation to Zhou Mingde, who was waiting for news, and discussed whether to fully evacuate the wilderness.

"At present, it is unrealistic to completely evacuate all personnel there!"

"First of all, the family doesn't have room to accommodate so many fresh-faced monks. Secondly, every extra year of persistence there will give the family one more year of buffer!"

"Furthermore, the family has invested a lot of resources there over the years. If we abandon them all, it would be a huge loss!"

In the cave, after listening to Zhou Chun's proposal, Zhou Mingde quickly frowned and expressed his objection.

He has been supervising the family on behalf of Zhou Chun over the years, and he is very clear about all aspects of the family's situation. He is fully aware of some serious consequences that Zhou Chun did not consider.

After expressing his objections at this time, he quickly continued: "My opinion is to give up some unimportant mineral veins and strongholds first, give up the search for wild resources, and increase the manpower invested in mining the remaining mineral veins!"

"On the other hand, those tribesmen and even dead members of the family who have good potential can be withdrawn first to prevent their premature death."

"Finally, the family will start to ventilate the situation in advance, slowly reduce unnecessary expenses in all aspects in a planned way, reduce the welfare of the clan members, and stock up on war preparation materials!"

Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "In addition, the family must prepare an escape route in advance, and arrange some of the younger members of the clan to go out first, in case they really cannot hold on.

The family can still have a chance to make a comeback!"

"What you always said makes sense, so let's make preparations according to what you always said!"
Chapter completed!
