Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Three thousand miles away from the Five Elements Peak, a torrent of monsters was advancing rapidly. Wherever they passed, dust filled the sky, the earth trembled, lush ancient forests fell down in patches, and birds were startled.

Among the beasts, there were three particularly huge figures, emitting a terrifying aura.

The one on the far left looks like a pangolin, over a hundred feet long, and is covered with hard, ochre-colored scales, like a moving hill.

In the center is a huge brown bear, nearly a hundred feet long, with strong and powerful limbs. Every step forward will randomly trample a few lucky people to death. The most eye-catching thing is its back, which is covered with a layer of steel-like scales, reflecting the unique luster of metal under the dazzling sunlight.

The one on the far right is a three-headed giant dog that is completely black with orange-red flames burning all over. Compared to the other two big monsters, its body appears to be thinner and more slender, but its aura is vaguely the strongest.

These three big monsters are the leaders of this team. They roar from time to time to guide the herd forward.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the ground right in front of the beast tide instantly turned into quicksand. The quicksand appeared very abruptly, and the vanguard of the beast herd was ruthlessly swallowed up by the quicksand without any warning.

The sudden change immediately caused great chaos among the beasts. After all, most of the monsters were not yet intelligent and were just being forcibly gathered together by the big monster. Once they encountered an accident, their true colors would be revealed in an instant.

For a time, many monsters died under the hooves of larger monsters.

"Roar--"

The giant monster that looked like a pangolin let out a terrifying roar, raised its front paws high, and stomped on the ground suddenly. A stream of earth-yellow energy was directed to the earth through its front paws, and ripples like water waves spread out. The land that had turned into quicksand suddenly became stiff again.

"Ow—"

The three heads of the three-headed dog howled at the same time, and the beast group, which had been in chaos, gradually returned to normal and gathered around the three-headed monster again.

"What's going on!" the head in the middle of the three-headed dog asked coldly.

"Someone set up the formation in advance." Pangolin responded indifferently.

"Hehe, humans are just low-class creatures." The other head of the three-headed dog sneered.

"Human, come out, I know you are nearby." The wild bear walked slowly forward, and his powerful voice resounded between heaven and earth.

The three-headed monster waited for a long time, but no one came out. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Strange, I clearly sensed a hint of unusual fluctuations before. Could it be... that it escaped?" said the Barbarian Bear doubtfully.

"Hehehe, playing tricks is a common trick used by the human race. Organize the team and keep moving forward. Don't give them the opportunity to delay time." The pangolin sneered repeatedly, his tone full of disdain.

The herd set out again, but this time they were much more cautious.

On the side of the beast tide, Song Changsheng quietly watched the beasts leave. He had been here, observing every move of the beasts.

As for why he didn't go out, the reason was very simple. The enemy outnumbered us, so wouldn't it be giving away our lives if we went out now?
He was not arrogant enough to fight against a tide of beasts.

Today's attack was just a small test he conducted to find out the specific strength of the beast group.

But... he was not very satisfied with the result. Fortunately, it was not in vain. In addition to killing many monsters, he also obtained a lot of useful information.

"One mid-level third-grade [Three-headed Hellhound], one low-level third-grade [Armored Barbarian Bear], and one low-level third-grade [Earth-breaking Earth Dragon]. The total number of monsters is close to 30,000. It's really stressful."

Song Changsheng sighed softly, then turned and left.

He had prepared a lot of "surprises" for these monsters before, but it was unknown how much effect they would have. He only hoped to kill more of the monsters, so that the pressure on the tribe members would be reduced.

------

"Patriarch, what's the situation?"

As soon as he returned to the Five Elements Peak, Song Lutong and others came up to him and asked him questions.

Song Changsheng recounted what he had seen and heard, and everyone's faces looked solemn.

"Chief, please recruit the major affiliated forces from Lingzhou and Yangzhou. With our current manpower, it is difficult to deal with a beast tide of this magnitude." Song Changxue said in a serious tone.

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "Don't move Lingzhou and Yangzhou for now. Hundreds of thousands of monsters are pouring into Tuozhou, and it won't stop for a while. Lingzhou and Tuozhou are not far apart, and if there is any change, we will need enough force to suppress it.

I have already asked for help from Luoxia City, and they will soon send people to support us, so you don't have to worry."

Hearing this, everyone felt much more at ease.

"Chief, the vanguard of the beast tide has been discovered six hundred miles outside the mountain."

At this time, Song Qingshi trotted in and reported to Song Changsheng.

"Understood, notify everyone to be prepared."

Song Changsheng led everyone to the sky above the Five Elements Peak. The mountain protection formation had already been opened. A group of "mercenaries" and members of the Song family were lined up in front, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Yuan Tianshu, who had never shown up, also came to Song Changsheng's side. Looking at the swarming herd of beasts, his expression was slightly solemn.

"Chief, I can stop the third-level mid-grade [Three-headed Hellhound], but I'll leave the remaining two monsters to you."

Yuan Tianshu made further progress some time ago and has successfully broken through to the middle stage of Purple Mansion. Although he is no match for the [Three-headed Hellhound], it is not a problem for him to hold it back.

Song Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "As long as Senior Yuan can help me block the [Three-Headed Hellhound], I can resist the remaining two monsters."

"Here it comes." A gleam of light flashed in Yuan Tianshu's eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, three huge figures, surrounded by thousands of demonic birds, arrived outside the Five Elements Peak. The overwhelming demonic aura was enough to make people shudder.

"Roar--"

Without much nonsense or communication, accompanied by a roar from the [Armored Bear], the demon bird that almost covered the sky immediately began to attack the mountain protection formation.

A group of cultivators quickly took the lead, relying on the mountain protection magic circle and using magic weapons to kill those crazy monster birds. The battle was in a tense state from the beginning.

At the beginning, the Song family still had some advantages, but when the large group of monsters arrived, the Song family could only passively defend.

"Chief, we must charge out now, otherwise when all these monsters come, the clan protection formation will not be able to hold on."

Although Yuan Tianshu is a casual cultivator, he has accumulated rich experience in dealing with beast tides over the years. Seeing that the situation was not right, he quickly reminded Song Changsheng.

"I understand."

Song Changsheng nodded, then turned around and shouted, "Uncle Tong, Qing Xing, Brother Chang'an, lead the people of the Law Enforcement Hall to follow me and the guest elders to charge and kill."

"As ordered!"

The three of them quickly assembled fifty elite deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall and stood behind Song Changsheng and others.

"呲"

Taking out the control token, Song Changsheng opened a gap in the mountain protection formation.

Upon seeing this, the monsters swarmed over as if they were injected with chicken blood. Song Changsheng didn't hold back and directly summoned the [Purple Void Divine Fire], burning the first batch that rushed over to ashes.

Then he rushed out together with Yuan Tianshu. Yuan Tianshu faced the [Three-headed Hellhound], while Song Changsheng faced the [Armored Bear] and the [Earth-breaking Earth Dragon].

Song Lutong, Song Qingxing and Song Changan led the elite law enforcement disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall and rushed out to launch a counterattack against the beast tide. The three of them were as powerful as a rainbow, and they pierced directly into the beast herd like a sharp spearhead, tearing a hole in it.

Behind the Five Elements Peak, Song Qingqing and others also slowly took off on the [Black Star Ship], ready to support Song Qingxing and others at any time.

Although there are many monsters, the number that can be deployed at one time is limited. Although Song Qingxing and his group are not many in number, they are all elite and have the best equipment. Under the leadership of Song Qingxing and Song Lutong, two killing machines, they are like a team in an empty land for a while.

However, people eventually ran out of strength, and although the group fought hard, they were still unable to suppress the attack of the beasts.

Song Lutong had no choice but to retreat with his men.

"Use [Thunderbolt]."

Song Lutong and others looked at each other and unanimously agreed to this plan.

After all, they were not at an advantage in numbers, and the price they had to pay to suppress the beast tide was simply too high.

Fortunately, the Song family has accumulated a large amount of [Lei Zhenzi] over the years, which can be used at this moment.

The war here was in full swing, and high in the sky Song Changsheng and Yuan Tianshu were also fighting fiercely with the three-headed monster.

"boom--"

Song Changsheng used the [Mountain-Climbing Seal] to force back the [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon], and then turned around and slashed the [Armored Barbarian Bear] with his halberd.

[The Carapace Bear] shook slightly, then swung its huge paw towards Song Changsheng. Its claws were so sharp that Song Changsheng's hair stood on end.

"[Searching for plum blossoms in the snow]"

Song Changsheng changed his steps and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

Unexpectedly, the [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] on the side seized the opportunity, and its steel-like tail whipped Song Changsheng on the back with unparalleled force of wind.

"puff--"

Song Changsheng felt as if his back was hit by a wild bull. The blood rushed up his body and he suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood and flew backwards.

Trying hard to steady himself, Song Changsheng's expression became somewhat solemn.

Although this [Earth-Breaking Earth Dragon] is of the lower third grade, the strength it exerts is in no way inferior to that of a mid-grade third grade monster. It seems that it also has an excellent bloodline in its body.

"Five Beasts Battle Body, activate!"

Song Changsheng activated his combat body without hesitation. His aura rose steadily. He flapped his wings and charged straight at the [Armored Bear] with the [Mountain-Shaking Halberd] in hand.

[Earth-breaking Earth Dragon] naturally would not give Song Changsheng the chance to kill [Armored Bear], and immediately attacked it upon seeing this.

The two beasts and the one man immediately started a bloody fight.

On the other side, Yuan Tianshu was holding a green sword, struggling to resist the [Three-headed Hellhound].

The blood in the [Three-headed Hellhound]'s body is extraordinary, and its intelligence is extremely high. Yuan Tianshu has just broken through to the middle stage of Purple Mansion and can only barely resist it and not give it the chance to disturb Song Changsheng.

"Wow—"

Suddenly, a loud cry sounded in the air.

Hearing this familiar voice, Song Changsheng, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, suddenly changed his expression and said to Yuan Tianshu anxiously: "Senior Yuan, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light rushed straight to Yuan Tianshu's vest at lightning speed.

After being reminded by Song Changsheng, Yuan Tianshu subconsciously dodged to the side, but the speed of the golden light was too fast, and a large piece of flesh was torn off from Yuan Tianshu's side.

"【Red-tailed Golden Eagle】!"

At the same time that Yuan Tianshu was injured, Song Changsheng also saw the face of the attacker clearly. It was the [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] that he and Niu Dazhuang had encountered on the Canglan River before.

He didn't expect that the [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] would hold a grudge to such an extent. Not only did it follow the herd all the way to the Five Elements Peak, but it also hid in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

It had a very good grasp of the timing. If Yuan Tianshu's reaction had been a little slower, he would have been seriously injured if not killed.

Yuan Tianshu was already no match for the [Three-Headed Hellhound], and now he was ambushed by the [Red-Tailed Golden Eagle]. The situation suddenly became critical.

"[Yin Yang Annihilation]"

Song Changsheng directly activated his innate magical powers to cover the [Earth-breaking Earth Dragon] and the [Armored Wild Bear]. Under the tearing of the yin and yang energies, the two big monsters suffered varying degrees of injuries.

After temporarily repelling the two, Song Changsheng flashed to the side of Yuan Tianshu, waved his sleeves, summoned the Soul-Severing Gourd, and the Soul-Severing Flying Knife flew straight to the left head of the [Three-Headed Hellhound].

"Ouch——"

The three ferocious heads opened their bloody mouths at the same time, spewing out a beam of dark light, knocking the Soul-Severing Flying Knife away.

The black light still had its power, and it rushed towards Song Changsheng with terrifying might.

"Yu!"

Song Changsheng took out the Tai Chi diagram and protected himself in front of him, then pulled Yuan Tianshu away from the battlefield quickly.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the black light failed to break through the defense of the Tai Chi diagram.

Seeing Song Changsheng and others running away, the Red-tailed Golden Eagle quickly chased after them, with a light of hatred flashing in its pupils.

"Uncle Tong!"

Seeing that he was about to be entangled by the [Red-tailed Golden Eagle], Song Changsheng immediately shouted towards the direction of the Five Elements Peak.

Hearing Song Changsheng's call, Song Lutong was cheered up and quickly responded, "Coming!"

The [Black Starship], which had been ready for a long time, suddenly opened fire at full power. A thick white beam of light cut through the void and headed straight for the [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] with a scorching breath.

This was the first time that the [Black Star Ship] had been used in actual combat after being transformed by Lu Tianchou. Its power was far greater than before. If this shot hit the target, the [Red-tailed Golden Eagle] would be seriously injured if not killed.

"Wow—"

[Red-tailed Golden Eagle] let out a long cry and avoided the attack with its extreme speed.

Although it was not injured, it no longer had the opportunity to attack Song Changsheng and could only watch them return to the Five Elements Peak.

"Wow—"

[Red-tailed Golden Eagle] let out an unwilling cry and circled in the sky above the Five Elements Peak, refusing to leave for a long time.

But Song Changsheng was no longer in the mood to pay attention to it at the moment, because Yuan Tianshu’s injuries were... very serious!
