Chapter 579
Zhou Tian didn't say it, it was impossible for those ancient powerhouses to know the weakness of Zhou Tian's ability, but even if they didn't know Zhou Tian's ability, they were basically certain that if they were to kill Zhou Tian's clones at this time, they would be able to severely damage Zhou Tian if they didn't say it, but they definitely had the ability to hinder Zhou Tian's current moves. Even if they were able to kill most of Zhou Tian's clones, it was even possible that Zhou Tian would no longer be able to use the same methods against them.
In this way, it was precisely because of that idea that they knew that with Zhou Tian's strength, they were afraid that it would be difficult to defeat Zhou Tian, those ancient powerhouses made their current move.
However, I have to say that although the actions of those ancient powerhouses were a bit scoundrel at that time, after their means came out at that time, unless Zhou Tian could block them, the plans that Zhou Tian had originally planned were really no longer able to continue under that circumstances.
Even if one or two clones die right now, Zhou Tian can't shake his foundation, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, Zhou Tian can easily make up for his losses at that time. But in fact, even if Zhou Tian could make up for that loss by himself, it didn't mean that Zhou Tian could ignore the threats of those ancient powerhouses to him.
Even if it was an injury that could be recovered, it would have taken some time for Zhou Tian to recover. If the current loss is not enough to affect Zhou Tian's strength, then Zhou Tian does not need to care too much about that little loss. However, if it was the loss at that time, it was enough to affect Zhou Tian's strength. Then for his own losses, Zhou Tian must also pay attention to it.
At a time when his strength was weak, unless his situation was not known to outsiders, Zhou Tian didn't believe that those ancient powerhouses would not take action against that situation at that time. And if those ancient powerhouses made a move, no matter how strong Zhou Tian's strength was, he didn't think that he could win that battle at that time.
Zhou Tian's strength is stronger than those ancient powerhouses, but the other party is not a soft persimmon, if Zhou Tian's strength is in an ordinary state, then there is no need to be afraid of those ancient powerhouses. But if anything, his strength has been weakened. If there are some special circumstances. That Sunday, I didn't know if it would be possible for me to defeat the other party.
So, unless it doesn't affect his strength. Otherwise, as long as it was something that might weaken his strength, Zhou Tian would definitely attach great importance to it at that time. In this way, even though you know how the other person is acting. But just like Zhou Tian's conspiracy before. The same is true for now. Even if Zhou Tian knew what his opponents thought, but before there was a way to deal with it, Zhou Tian had to do it in the way the other party wanted. At the time, he had no other choice.
In this way, after knowing what those ancient powerhouses were doing at that time, and what impact the other party would have on him if they did so, Zhou Tian naturally had no other ideas than to honestly withdraw his troops.
As a result, when Zhou Tian found that those ancient powerhouses had disappeared from the previous ruin space, and he had several other clones attacked, after gritting his teeth, although he was unwilling, he was afraid that the other party would weaken his strength too much, and finally reluctantly took back all his clones that had been released at that time.
And as the clones released by Zhou Tian returned to his body one after another, Zhou Tian's breath began to become stronger at that time. It's a pity that no matter how much strength Zhou Tian recovered at that time, it would not have any impact on the current battle situation.
Even if Zhou Tian's strength is strong now, what about it?
According to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian couldn't even find his enemies. In this way, Zhou Tian can kill his enemies with a single blow. But as long as his enemy is hiding, no matter how strong Zhou Tian is, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to find a target at that time, and his strength will not have a chance to be displayed.
And coupled with the reason why Zhou Tian would take back his copy now, Zhou Tian would inevitably feel a little aggrieved at that time! Because if Zhou Tian can really take down his opponent, he doesn't need to take back the replica at all. Now that he was forced to take back his copy but couldn't find the enemy, Zhou Tian was equivalent to completely falling into the disadvantage in the struggle with those ancient powerhouses.
If the opponent's strength is very strong, then even if he falls into the disadvantage in the confrontation, Zhou Tian at that time will not say much. After all, the other party's strength is strong, and he is not good at this kind of thing, in the case of his own damage, even if the battle situation falls into disadvantage, Zhou Tian will not have any unhappiness.
But the problem now is that although the strength of those ancient powerhouses is not weak, compared to Zhou Tian, the strength of those guys is not enough at all.
Suffering at the hands of an opponent who is stronger than himself or of equal strength is not unacceptable that Sunday. But now that he had suffered some losses at the hands of an opponent who was weaker than him, Zhou Tian had no way to figure it out at that time.
In Zhou Tian's opinion, he just didn't know where those ancient powerhouses lived, otherwise he didn't just want to take advantage of the other party. Even if he directly wanted the lives of those ancient powerhouses, it would only be an easy thing for him to do.
But just when he thought that he could easily take down the other party, Zhou Tian didn't expect that in the end, his battle with those ancient powerhouses would actually put him at a disadvantage at the beginning. As soon as the situation came out at that time, Zhou Tian not only felt unacceptable to that situation, but also thought hard about how to deal with it at that time.
No matter what, Zhou Tian couldn't accept the fact that he had fallen into the upper hand in the confrontation with those ancient powerhouses. And in this case, Zhou Tian needed to find a way to turn the situation around. Only after finding a way to regain the upper hand, and then facing those ancient powerhouses, can Zhou Tian achieve what he wants to achieve.
In this way, after seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Tian, who was unwilling to fail, could only find another way to find the traces of those ancient powerhouses.
Fortunately, although it seems that the situation is indeed unfavorable for Zhou Tian at this time. But in fact, if you really want to count it, Zhou Tian is still a powerful party. The reason why they suffered a loss in the hands of the other party was only because those ancient powerhouses were in the dark and Zhou Tian was in the light. And in this case, after finding the traces of the other party, the situation is estimated to be reversed immediately.
After all, Zhou Tian's strength was much stronger than that group of ancient powerhouses, and he couldn't give full play to his advantage in strength, so Zhou Tian had no way to take his opponents. But once Zhou Tian seizes the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the other party, then with Zhou Tian's strength, it is estimated that a few random attacks will be enough to kill those opponents directly!
It's just that it's hard now. Although after finding out the opponent. Zhou Tian can easily kill the other party, but the other party will not take the initiative to jump out. And judging from Zhou Tian's performance at this time, it seems that there is no good way to find the other party.
Originally, according to the number of clones, as long as he was allowed to search in the current way. Even if you can't force those ancient powerhouses out. Sooner or later, Sunday will also be able to find the location where they are hiding. It's a pity. In the end, he was forced by the other party to take back his copy with the current method. This was originally the safest method, but at this time, there is no way to use it again.
And there are not too many clues, and at the same time, you also need to guard against those ancient powerhouses in the dark. At that time, if Zhou Tian wanted to achieve his goal, it seemed that it would be difficult no matter what.
It can even be said directly that according to the situation at that time, if Zhou Tianzhen just wanted to find out that group of ancient powerhouses with his own ability, then he would not have that ability at all. And if you really want to do that, the final result is estimated to be nine times out of ten, and it should be that Zhou Tian was forced to dispel the idea of dealing with those ancient powerhouses.
It's just that although Zhou Tian is based on his own ability, it is indeed difficult to take down those ancient powerhouses. But according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian was not able to do it himself. If you add a little external force, then it may not be impossible to do it at that time.
And although at the beginning, Zhou Tian did want to clean up the other party according to his own strength. But since it seems that he can't achieve his goal with his own strength at the moment, it is not that Zhou Tian cannot accept the result of borrowing external forces.
In this way, after thinking hard for a long time but unable to think of a feasible way to force out that group of ancient powerhouses, Zhou Tian was angry and turned around at that time to transfer an orc army.
The reason why those ancient powerhouses could force Zhou Tian back was nothing more than Zhou Tian's idea of preserving his strength. If it weren't for Zhou Tian's fear that his strength would be weakened, then even if some clones were killed by the other party, it was estimated that Zhou Tian would still stick to his original actions.
And according to Zhou Tian's arrangement at that time, as long as those clones of it continued to search like this, those ancient powerhouses were destined to have nowhere to hide.
In this way, according to the situation at that time, since Zhou Tian knew that his original behavior could really find out those ancient powerhouses, then if he wanted to deal with the other party at this time, the method would be very simple.
In the same way, as long as Zhou Tian can ensure that his strength will not be weakened, then he can also use that method to force out that group of ancient powerhouses. And in this case, as long as Zhou Tian left his copy work to those orcs, he would naturally be able to get the effect he wanted.
If you can not use the power of the orcs, Zhou Tian will not use it, because at the moment in this world, Zhou Tian can mobilize this force. But if Zhou Tian had ascended to the Divine Realm, he would have no place to borrow his strength at that time.
In this way, intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Tian has greatly reduced his dependence on the amount of beast manpower at this time, and in the case that he can solve it by his own ability, most of the miscellaneous matters will be handled by himself.
Now, that is, the methods used by those ancient powerhouses are too disgusting, and Zhou Tian really can't think of the reason for the solution, so he has to make an exception. And after Zhou Tian made that decision and transferred those orcs, the effect of that decision at that time was soon slowly reflected.
Everything was under Zhou Tian's control, and with Zhou Tian's order, countless orcs rushed directly towards those relic spaces. And after those orcs enter those relic spaces, no matter what the details of those relic spaces are. will make Zhou Tian's investigation clear.
Although after Zhou Xia issued that order, the orcs under his command searched all the way to the past, almost all the ruin spaces encountered had no direct connection with those ancient creatures. But no matter what, Zhou Tian's frame was already laid out, and according to his performance at the time, if those orcs searched like this, it would be absolutely no surprise to find the relic space where those ancient creatures lived.
And there is no doubt that the situation at that time was something that those ancient powerhouses did not want to see. And just like they had stopped Zhou Tian's clones before. In order not to fight Zhou Tian head-on and to force Zhou Tian back, those ancient powerhouses could risk attacking Zhou Tian's clones before. Now, even if they risk attacking those orcs again. There is nothing surprising about it.
It's just that when those ancient powerhouses attacked the orc army under Zhou Tian, Zhou Tian's reaction at that time made those ancient powerhouses feel anxious.
Although it wasn't the Sunday of the attack, but after the attack on those orc ranks. Those ancient powerhouses still thought about it. When the fruits of their actions come out. It is estimated that Zhou Tian will inevitably be in a hurry at that time. After losing some of his manpower, Zhou Tian could only give up his actions as before.
But actually, when those orcs really act like that. Zhou Tian's reaction was very different from what they thought.
Just like those dead orcs had nothing to do with him at all, when those ancient powerhouses made a move, and the orcs all the way began to let the other party sneak attack and annihilate, Zhou Tian didn't mean to change his order at all. And just when Zhou Tian insisted on the original order, even if there were already a lot of orcs who let those ancient powerhouses kill them, but at that time, the other orc armies were still there constantly searching for the corresponding ruin space, and with their efforts to search, one after another the ruin space had already allowed those orcs to find out the situation, and even inside those spaces, Zhou Tian's orcs had already found some information related to the ancient times.
Although Zhou Tian hadn't been able to discover the ancient creatures at that time, since he had already discovered something related to them, it also meant that the ruins space captured by his orcs at that time must have some inevitable connection with those ancient powerhouses. Maybe even those spaces at that time were already the dwellings of ancient beings.
And according to the situation at that time, although Zhou Tian did not find any traces of those ancient creatures for the time being. But since the information related to the other party has been discovered, it already means that Zhou Tian's current arrangement does have a corresponding effect. Even if they can't take the other party now, if they let Zhou Tian go on like this, whether those ancient powerhouses can hide under Zhou Tian's search in the future will really become a problem.
In this way, at the beginning, Zhou Tian was indeed a little confused by the actions of those ancient powerhouses. But now, when he transferred his orc army, the situation between him and those ancient powerhouses at that time was basically completely reversed at that time.
Before, Zhou Tianjin was neither retreating, either he could only give up the idea of looking for those ancient powerhouses, or he had to be mentally prepared to let the other party weaken his strength. It was precisely because he was forced to that extent that even Zhou Tian, who had never wanted to use the strength of the beast manpower, still had to make a compromise at that time.
And now, when Zhou Tian sent out his army of orcs to exert their strength in a way that was sure to make a difference, it was now at that time that those ancient powerhouses did not know what to do.
According to their strength, if those ancient powerhouses really wanted to deal with the orcs under Zhou Tian, it would definitely not be a difficult thing. Even if they really wanted to be ruthless, it would be much easier to kill Zhou Tian's orc army than to kill Zhou Tian's clones.
But the problem now is that even if those ancient powerhouses really had the ability to kill Zhou Tian's orc army, the situation at that time was such that they might not do such a thing if they had that ability.
First of all, they didn't fail to deal with those orcs, but judging from Zhou Tian's performance at that time, even if some orcs were killed or injured, it seems that Zhou Tian didn't take this matter to heart. And in this case, if they had to continue to attack Zhou Tian's orcs, it was not impossible. But no matter how many orcs they killed, if Zhou Tian didn't react to what they did at all, then what they did at that time would be meaningless.
After all, those orcs were not ordinary creatures, and Zhou Tian's enemy was not an ordinary leader.
According to the current monster rules of the main plane, Zhou Tian didn't say that he didn't pay much attention to the strength of monsters at this time. Even Zhou Tian was still as before, bent on developing the power of the orc race. As long as it can achieve its goals, then it will not care about the casualties of its orcs. After all, according to the rules of monsters, as long as there are enough resources, ordinary orc monsters are like cannon fodder. It was meant to be sacrificed.
So. No matter what those ancient creatures did at that time, the number of orcs they killed at that time seemed to be a lot, but in fact, according to the current background of the orc race, they killed more orcs. Maybe it's just a few minutes on Sunday. Then you can replenish the lost men and horses.
So. Since Zhou Tian didn't care about the casualties of his orcs at all, and their efforts couldn't really shake Zhou Tian's foundation, no matter how easy it was to kill the orcs. I'm afraid that those ancient powerhouses didn't have the heart to continue to do it at that time!
But now, if they don't take some action, they will definitely follow the current arrangement for Sunday, and sooner or later their hiding place will be discovered by Sunday. And once Zhou Tian found out where they were hiding, it would be impossible for him not to make any moves.
And not only Zhou Tian knew that it was not difficult for him to clean up those ancient powerhouses, but those ancient powerhouses themselves also knew that in terms of strength, they might really not be Zhou Tian's opponents. Otherwise, if they hadn't known that they were not Zhou Tian's opponents, no matter what way they looked at it, those ancient powerhouses should not have reacted like that in the first place.
In this way, unless Zhou Tian has not been able to find them, as long as Zhou Tian is allowed to find them, those ancient powerhouses know that if Zhou Tian's strength really wants to deal with them at that time, they will definitely not end up with anything.
It's just that at the moment, because Zhou Tian doesn't care about the reason why those orcs live or die at all, even if those ancient powerhouses want to stop Zhou Tian's actions now, it doesn't seem to be an easy thing.
The problems that Zhou Tian had encountered before were now also encountered by those ancient powerhouses. Either they would find a way to stop the orc army, or according to the situation at that time, it seemed that those ancient powerhouses had no choice but to retreat.
If they continued to fight with Zhou Tian, those ancient powerhouses already had no confidence in their own side at all. And if they didn't continue to fight, if they wanted to let those ancient powerhouses give up their own interests and withdraw, they felt extremely unwilling at that time. And in this case, in the face of the current predicament, those ancient powerhouses really don't know how to deal with it.
There was no other choice, although for now they knew that if they continued to fight with Zhou Tian, they would not end up with anything. But if the group of ancient powerhouses at that time were willing to bear those losses, then it would be impossible for them to come forward to fight Zhou Tian now.
Since he jumped out to fight with Zhou Tian because he was reluctant to take those interests. Then at this time, those ancient beings will not be able to give up their interests again for any reason.
In this way, although the current situation was very unfavorable for them, the group of ancient powerhouses at that time were still reluctant to quit at that time after several hesitations and because they were reluctant to give up those interests. As a result, even if they knew that their actions did not have much effect, the group of ancient powerhouses still decided to block the orc army under Zhou Tian.
In any case, their resistance at that time always brought some casualties to the orcs under Zhou Tian. And as long as their attack can have that effect, it will definitely hinder the movement of Zhou Tian's orcs. In this way, if they didn't expect their actions at that time to completely block Zhou Tian's orc army, they could affect the actions of Zhou Tian's orc army, and finally prepare for their follow-up actions, but there would definitely be no problem.
As a result, according to the thoughts of those ancient powerhouses at that time, after they found that their situation was not good, they did not retreat at that time, but after hesitating for a moment, they attacked the orc army under Zhou Tian again. (To be continued......)
