Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Seeing the [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] escaping in a panic after entering the Qi layer, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, luckily this beast doesn't have a high level of cultivation, otherwise you and I would have a hard time escaping today." Niu Dazhuang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's cross the river quickly. The fight just now was quite noisy. It might have attracted the attention of the water monster in the river."

Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang shuddered and quickly accelerated. These water monsters were more difficult to deal with than the birds of prey in the sky. It would be dangerous if he was dragged down by them.

It took nearly half an hour for the two to successfully cross the Canglan River.

"This river is wider than the sea."

Standing on the soft soil, Song Changsheng couldn't help but sigh. He had also seen the sea in his previous life. It was boundless and vast. In comparison, those big rivers were much inferior.

But the Canglan River in front of him was no less vast than the seas in his previous life.

"The sea? What? Have you ever seen the sea?" Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The area where they were located was far away from the ocean, and many monks had never known what the "ocean" looked like in their entire lives.

Niu Dazhuang had only seen descriptions of the sea in ancient books, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

Hearing Niu Dazhuang's question, Song Changsheng immediately came to his senses and quickly explained: "Uh... I haven't seen it either. I just got a glimpse of it in the classics left by my predecessors, but I have never had the chance to see it with my own eyes. I was inspired by the grandeur of the Canglan River."

"I see, you are wrong. There are countless water systems in the world, and the Canglan River is nothing. It is even worse than the sea.

Changsheng, you are still young. If you have a chance, you can go to the East China Sea to see how vast it is. Don't be a worm at the bottom of a well... a worm at the bottom of a well." Niu Dazhuang crossed his arms and said with an air of seniority.

"..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Don't forget that we are here to do business." Song Changsheng said unhappily after glaring at Niu Dazhuang.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. What should we do next?" Niu Dazhuang followed his advice.

"If you go southeast, you can avoid the territories of most known big monsters. If you encounter a big monster on the way, it's best not to fight it, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are surrounded by it."

Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but become serious. This was the demon realm, far away from the human world. If they were besieged, they would not receive any support in a short time.

The two concealed their figures and auras as they shuttled through the dense forest, carefully avoiding the territories of all the big monsters along the way.

For several days, they traveled tens of thousands of miles. Whether it was because of good luck or a good choice of route, the journey was smooth and they did not find any trace of the big monster. It was so calm that it was shocking.

But in the demon realm, peace is the biggest abnormality...

Late one night, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang were resting in the formation.

Suddenly, Song Changsheng opened his eyes abruptly, and his eyes were like two bright stars in the dark night.

"What's wrong?" Niu Dazhuang was also awakened and looked over in confusion.

Song Changsheng didn't say anything, but just pointed above his head.

Niu Dazhuang looked up and instantly discovered a group of snow-white birds flapping their wings silently and flying over their heads.

"【Three-legged migratory bird】? That's so many."

Hearing Niu Dazhuang's surprised voice, Song Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, [Three-legged Migratory Bird], judging from the number, the entire tribe should be migrating."

"It's not time yet, why are they migrating? Besides, the deeper you go, the higher the risk. They can still dominate the edge of the demon realm with their numbers, but if they enter the inner area, won't they be a piece of cake for other demon beasts?"

[Three-legged migratory bird] is one of the rare monsters in this world that still retains the habit of migration. Whenever the climate changes, they will instinctively migrate to other places under the leadership of the head bird, and then take root in that place and wait for the next migration.

Now is their reproduction period, so it is impossible for them to migrate, let alone migrate to the depths of the demon realm.

"Perhaps... they were summoned by the Demon King." Song Changsheng's eyes flashed. Now this is the only reason that can explain it.

The Demon King is not just a title, they are the true kings among beasts and have absolute suppressive and dominance over low-level demon beasts.

The demon king summons, and no one dares to disobey.

These [three-legged migratory birds] were most likely summoned and violated their own laws of survival, migrating to the inner circle of the demon realm during the season when they should have been breeding.

"Even a small tribe like the Three-legged Migratory Birds was recruited. No wonder we didn't see a single hair of a big monster along the way. Changsheng, the scale of this beast tide is probably beyond your and my imagination."

After listening to Song Changsheng's analysis, Niu Dazhuang said with a serious face.

"This is just my speculation. Seeing is believing. No matter what, we still have to see it with our own eyes before we can make a decision. Let's go. Follow this group of [Three-legged Migratory Birds] and maybe we can find the gathering point of the herd."

"it is good."

The two hit it off immediately and quickly hid their bodies and followed.

[Three-legged migratory bird] does not have the blood of divine beasts in its body, perhaps it did in the past, but after being diluted over a long period of time, it is now very thin. It belongs to the lowest level among monsters. Its only advantage is that it can reproduce, and the size of each population is very large.

There was only one big monster in the group of [Three-legged Migratory Birds] that was being followed, but the number of individuals in the group reached several thousand, which was difficult for other monster groups to achieve.

The sight of thousands of [three-legged migratory birds] migrating together is still very spectacular. It is no exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming. Along the way, not many monsters dare to provoke them.

The situation changed until they accidentally broke into the airspace of a Six-Winged Roc.

The six-winged Roc's pair of sharp claws directly tore the migrating group of the three-legged migratory bird into two halves. For a moment, countless carcasses of migratory birds fell like raindrops. The head bird of the flock had bloodshot eyes and cried like crying blood, but it was unable to stop it from acting recklessly.

At the critical moment, Song Changsheng, who had been following them, quietly released his own aura, which scared away the [Six-Winged Roc].

This made Niu Dazhuang feel a little amused and helpless. He was clearly mortal enemies with the monster, but this time he ended up acting as the monster's "umbrella".

I'm afraid this group of [three-legged migratory birds] never thought that one day they would be rescued by human monks.

The [Three-legged Migratory Bird] that had suffered a massacre put away its grief and set out on its journey again.

Three days later, nearly half of the [Three-legged Migratory Birds] were killed and finally arrived at the gathering place of the beasts.

From a distance, Song Changsheng saw the demonic energy rising straight into the sky. Just looking at the scale of this demonic energy, the number of monsters gathered here was not small.

In order to avoid being discovered, the two did not dare to get too close. They found a small hill and quietly observed the situation over there.

"Changsheng, what did you see?"

Niu Dazhuang poked Song Changsheng and asked anxiously, "Demon beasts, everywhere in the sky and underground, there are monster beasts. Judging from the scale, there are at least 200,000 or more."

"Two hundred thousand?" Niu Dazhuang's expression changed slightly. Although Luoxia City had experienced beast tides of more than 500,000 more than once, it did not mean that a beast tide of this scale was not scary.

Dingyuan City was built only a dozen years ago. Although a huge amount of manpower and material resources were invested, it had never really faced a large-scale beast tide.

If the city defense is not strong and at a disadvantage, the lives of Luoxia City's disciples will be needed to fill the gap. The last time Luoxia City faced the [Black Dragon Demon King], it suffered over 10,000 casualties and has not yet recovered.

"This is the scale we see now, not counting the ones coming later. In addition, the beast tide will also drag along a large number of low-level monsters as it moves forward, and the scale will grow like a snowball. By then, the number may even double."

"Damn, is this really the newly promoted Demon King? His appeal is so huge!" Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but let out a low growl.

In their estimation, the scale of the beast tide this time would be at most 100,000. By that time, with the city lord personally stationed in Dingyuan City, it should be easy to resist.

But judging from the current situation, we can only say that imagination is beautiful but reality is cruel.

"Don't forget, this is the demon realm. Human soldiers have never set foot here. The demons have taken root in this land since ancient times, and the density of demon beasts is beyond imagination.

In addition, there are many monsters escaping from the current Tuozhou. The scale of the beast tide can no longer be viewed with the same eyes as before."

"Fuck, damn, I really can't live with monsters in this life." Niu Dazhuang cursed in a low voice, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he looked at Song Changsheng and said, "Have you seen the figure of the monster king?"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't seen it yet."

"We must figure out the type of demon king so that Master Uncle can prescribe the right remedy. We must lie dormant here for a while."

Song Changsheng frowned slightly. This was a very dangerous move. After all, there were a large number of monsters gathered on the opposite side, including some third-order big monsters. If they were discovered, it would be difficult to escape.

But what Niu Dazhuang said is not without reason. Monsters all have their own unique abilities. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you will win every battle. Only by understanding these situations clearly in advance can we respond in a targeted manner and reduce losses.

The two of them lay dormant on the hill, with the sun and moon above their heads constantly changing. One morning, the earth suddenly began to tremble violently, and a powerful demonic aura rose into the sky, causing Song Changsheng's hair to stand on end.

Song Changsheng immediately perked up and said in a slightly hurried tone: "The demon king is about to show up."

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen a demon beast at the level of a demon king with his own eyes. He felt a little nervous but also a little excited.

He activated his pupil technique and looked over there intently, only to see a gigantic beast appear in the center of the herd at some point in time.

It is a hundred feet tall, covered with hard scales that gleam with a faint light, with a scarlet tongue flickering in and out, a pair of emerald green vertical pupils full of coldness, and a huge single horn shaped like a buffalo on its huge triangular head.

Its huge body was covered with a layer of cicada wings, which was constantly trembling.

The most eye-catching thing is its abdomen, which has a scarlet line running from the lower jaw to the tail.

Seeing this series of distinctive features, the identity of the demon king in front of us is obvious - [Six-Winged Dragon Snake].

Rumor has it that this is the offspring born from the union of a true dragon and a golden cicada, and that he inherited the blood of two great divine beasts. He has extremely powerful strength and talent, and also contains a trace of dragon might. He is naturally able to suppress other monsters of inferior bloodlines with absolute power.

"It's actually the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake]. No wonder, no wonder it can recruit so many monsters." Song Changsheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In terms of difficulty, the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] is much more difficult than the [Thunder Demon King] that was previously killed by the city lord's sword.

Niu Dazhuang was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He said hurriedly, "We must report our findings here to Master and Master Uncle."

"it is good."

Song Changsheng nodded, and the two of them slowly retreated.

Suddenly, Song Changsheng felt a chill on his back and a huge sense of crisis lingered in his heart.

"not good!"

Song Changsheng turned around suddenly, and saw that the pair of emerald green vertical pupils of the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] had been looking at him at some point, flashing a gloomy light.

Although they were very far apart, Song Changsheng could tell at a glance that the other party was staring at them.

Song Changsheng felt his scalp tingling, and he grabbed Niu Dazhuang's arm and said, "Run!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them immediately used all their strength to run towards the Canglan River without looking back.

Looking at the two ants in his field of vision, the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] hesitated and said coldly: "Kill them."

"Roar--"

Four roars sounded from the herd, chasing in the direction where Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang were escaping.

"There are pursuers." Song Changsheng looked back and looked at the four figures approaching at a very fast speed, his face somewhat solemn.

"The [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] didn't catch up with us, right?" Niu Dazhuang asked in panic.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. The two of them were just ants in the eyes of the Demon King. Just looking at them was enough to lower his status. How could he possibly do it himself?

"They are all flying monsters. If we continue to waste time like this, we will be the ones to suffer. We must find a chance to kill them."

"Kill them? You are kidding, they are four big monsters. We are in their home turf. They can call the beasts to kill us in a minute." Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but widen his eyes. He originally thought that he was reckless enough, but he didn't expect that there was a master in front of him.

"How are you going to run away if you don't kill them?"

Niu Dazhuang's expression changed rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I'll do it. You tell me what to do."

"I observed that there were four demon beasts, three of which were low-grade third-rank [Blue-eyed Demonic Butterflies], and one was a mid-grade third-rank [Giant-winged Sky Eagle].

We must first repel or kill the [Giant Winged Sky Eagle] that poses the greatest threat to us. Only in this way can we have a chance of escaping."

"Okay, I'll go kill it!" Niu Dazhuang gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, Song Changsheng flatly refused and said, "No, your body movement cannot keep up with it. I will deal with it, and you hold back the three [Blue-eyed Demonic Butterflies]."

"can you?"

Song Changsheng said firmly: "Believe me!"
