Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Peeping?" Xu Yunhe's expression changed slightly.

"Where is it, is it a monster or..."

Song Changsheng shook his head and said solemnly: "That feeling only lasted for a moment. When I looked for its traces, it disappeared again. Brother Xu, Yuechan, must be more vigilant. I'm afraid there is something unknown hidden here. dangerous."

"Do not worry."

Although they didn't notice anything, no one would doubt Song Changsheng's judgment. After all, monks' intuition is often the most accurate.

Several people took out defensive magic weapons to protect themselves, raising their vigilance to the highest level, not letting go of the slightest sign of trouble.

And just in the corner outside the range of several people's consciousness, a vine as thick as an arm slowly raised its head from the bushes, staring at their departing backs...

"Brother Song, look at this."

Suddenly, Xu Yunhe, who was walking at the front of the team, greeted loudly.

"What's wrong, Brother Xu?"

Song Changsheng rushed over to take a look and found the body of a unicorn horse.

The unicorn is a very common low-level monster that can grow up to the second level. Judging from the size of the one in front of you, it is just a first-level unicorn that has just grown up.

"It looks like it has been dead for a while. The only wound is the big hole through its abdomen, but its cause of death should be that the blood in the whole body was drained by something."

Song Changsheng used a branch to pull the mummy-like corpse slightly, and frowned slightly.

Unicorns are gregarious monsters that reproduce very quickly. If there were a herd of Unicorns in this valley, it would never be so quiet.

Moreover, the Skyfall Valley is so deep that if a first-level monster falls, it will definitely be smashed into a pulp. Therefore, the situation of accidental entry from the outside can be directly ruled out.

"There is a ghost here."

Thinking of the feeling of being spied on before, Song Changsheng suddenly became a little irritable. This feeling of being in the open and the enemy in the dark is really too bad, just like a poisonous snake dormant in the corner, who doesn't know when it will come out and bite him. You take a bite.

"Changsheng, look here, there seems to be drag marks." Zhuang Yuechan suddenly pointed to the dirt in front of her and said.

The two of them went over to take a look and found that there were some subtle traces spreading into the distance.

"Hmph, let's go over and see what's going on."

Several people followed the traces on the ground and finally came to a towering tree.

Perhaps due to the lack of sunlight, although the vegetation here is dense, it is mostly low shrubs and lichens.

But this tree is dozens of feet tall, with a round crown that covers the sky and the earth. The trunk is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, and its branches are covered with red fruits the size of sandbags.

"This tree is weird, be careful." Song Changsheng looked at the red fruits and felt a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

He flicked out a wisp of sword energy and chopped off a fruit. The fruit fell to the ground and broke into pieces in an instant. Bloody juice splashed everywhere. Everywhere it touched, whether it was vegetation or stones, was corroded, exuding a pungent smell. White smoke.

"It's a unicorn." Xu Yunhe said in shock.

Song Changsheng took a closer look and found a skeleton on the ground that had not been completely corroded.

Just as the three people's eyes were attracted, countless vines suddenly sprang out from the tree crown and enveloped them.

"No, it's a tree demon, back away!"

Song Changsheng's expression changed drastically, and he swept the [Measuring Sky Ruler] in his hand, instantly tearing a big hole in the big net woven by the tree demon, and rushed out with the two of them.

But as soon as he escaped, more vines came from all directions.

"Brother Xu!"

"coming!"

Xu Yunhe responded, and the long sword in his hand burst out with sword light, shattering all the vines within a hundred feet.

Song Changsheng took this opportunity to open the spirit-slaying gourd and released the [Cold Flame of the Earth's Core].

When dealing with enemies like tree demons, spiritual fire is their nemesis.

But what caught Song Changsheng off guard was that a blood-colored barrier appeared around the tree demon, firmly blocking the spiritual fire out and preventing it from being damaged in the slightest.

"Such a strong demonic energy. I'm afraid this tree demon is about to reach the third level. Yuechan, disturb its soul." Song Changsheng dodged the attack of vines and shouted.

"Boom..."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yuechan, who was now out of the battlefield, immediately placed the Yao Qin horizontally in front of her, quickly plucked the strings with her fingers, and played "The God of Confusion".

The sound of the piano is pervasive and affects the soul, making people feel drowsy just by hearing it.

Dryad souls are generally weak, so Zhuang Yuechan's offensive was effective quickly. After a while, the frequency and intensity of tree demon attacks began to decrease.

When Song Changsheng saw this, he felt happy and immediately offered the gourd.

"Please gourd to kill the spirit!"

The invisible blade swept through the space, rushed straight into the sea of ​​consciousness of the tree demon, and struck at its soul.

The tree demon suddenly began to tremble violently, all the vines retreated like a tide, and even the bloody barrier became dim.

Song Changsheng was overjoyed and said quickly: "Its spirit has been injured by me and it won't last long. Let's work together to kill it!"

At this moment, a hazy human face suddenly appeared on the thick trunk of the dryad. It glared at Song Changsheng and others and said, "Outsiders, you have successfully aroused my anger."

The sound was like two pieces of dry tree bark rubbing against each other, which was very uncomfortable to hear.

"Are you the one spying on us in the dark?" Song Changsheng shouted.

"It doesn't matter if it's me, you broke into my territory first."

"There is no point arguing about this at this moment. Since you said that Tiancheng Valley is your territory, do you know that a piece of flesh and blood fell down some time ago." Zhuang Yuechan stopped the argument between the two parties.

The face on the tree trunk changed slightly when he heard this, and then said: "So what if you know."

"Cultivation is not easy for the tree demon, and we have no intention of being your enemy. As long as you give me the scales on the flesh and blood, we will retreat immediately and never come back."

It is far more difficult for plants to cultivate spiritual intelligence than for monsters. Every one of them can be said to be the darling of heaven, and there are even fewer who reach the level of the tree monster in front of him. Song Changsheng does not want to cause more killings if it is not necessary. evil.

Unexpectedly, the tree demon became furious when he heard this and said, "That's my treasure, why should I give it to you?"

"Whatever you want, I can exchange it with you." Song Changsheng frowned slightly. It would be best if it could be solved peacefully. After all, this tree demon is not weak in cultivation. After practicing for a long time, he doesn't know how much he has hidden. Trump card, it is not easy to win it. Hearing this, the tree demon fell into silence.

After a long time, he spoke again: "I want to go further."

"Impossible." Song Changsheng couldn't help rolling his eyes. This tree demon's cultivation level is only one step away from the third level, but it is very difficult to cross this step. Thinking about Song Xianming and Chang Wudao, Let’s look at Music Business and Niu Dazhuang.

Which one is not the best resource, and which one is not just one step away?
As a result, I haven’t crossed over in all these years.

People are like this, let alone tree demons who are more difficult to cultivate?

This was an impossible deal.

"Then there's no need to talk." The tree demon shouted angrily.

At this moment, Zhuang Yuechan took out a talisman and said: "It's impossible to help you break through, but I have a third-level defense talisman here that can block a thunderstorm for you. How about I exchange this with you?"

Dryads are different from human monks. Human monks will only experience thunder tribulations when they break through the golden elixir stage, but tree demons must experience the baptism of thunder tribulations every time they break through the great realm.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for the grass, trees, spirits and monsters to practice.

A defensive talisman that can block a thunderstorm is already worth a lot of money.

The expression on the tree demon's face changed, and he finally said, "Okay."

After saying that, he stretched out a vine and went to Zhuang Yuechan to ask for the talisman.

"You take out the scales first, and we'll exchange them face to face." Zhuang Yuechan frowned slightly, this guy actually wanted to give the wolf nothing.

Hearing this, the dryad's face suddenly became a little embarrassed and said: "The scales are useless to me, so they are not in my hands."

The faces of Song Changsheng and others instantly turned ugly. Isn't this a joke?
Seeing that they were about to explode, the tree demon quickly said: "Although it is not in my hands, I know where the scales are. You can get them yourself."

There was a trace of suspicion on Song Changsheng's face. This guy couldn't be cheating, could he?
Seeing Song Changsheng's face, the tree demon quickly said: "If you don't believe it, you can go get the scales first. Anyway, I can't run away here."

"Changsheng, what it says makes sense. We'll find out if it's true or not when we go check it out." Zhuang Yuechan secretly transmitted the message.

"Okay, please point out the address. If we find the scales, I will definitely give you the talisman with both hands. If not, I will not make it easy for you even if I try my best." Song Changsheng threatened coldly.

"Don't worry, it's in a cave ten miles to the southwest." The tree demon stretched out a vine and pointed in one direction, and said confidently.

"Let's go."

Song Changsheng and others slowly withdrew from the attack range of the tree demon, and then headed southwest with their swords.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they found a hidden cave. There were overgrown weeds in front of the cave entrance, but there were obvious signs of being crushed by heavy objects.

"Brother Song, I feel a strong evil spirit. Do we really want to go in?" Xu Yunhe looked at the dark entrance of the cave and hesitated.

After all, they had just had an encounter with the tree demon, and the credibility of the other party's words was highly questionable.

"The dragon scales contain a trace of dragon power and have no effect on vegetation and monsters. The tree demon must not have lied. Of course, its purpose must not be simple.

Look at the weeds at the entrance of the cave, they look very much like the traces left by snakes and pythons. If the prediction is correct, there is probably a monster here, and the other party should want to borrow a knife to kill someone. "Song Changsheng's eyes burst out with a hint of coldness.

"Then let's fight back?" Xu Yunhe frowned slightly.

"No, I am even more convinced that the dragon scales are here. This thing is useless against vegetation and monsters, but it is a rare treasure for snakes and pythons.

The flesh and blood of the Black Dragon Demon King is also the most attractive to them. After devouring it, it may even make them go further. It is impossible for them to resist such a temptation.

If the scales were in the hands of the tree demon, it would be impossible for the two sides to live in peace. "Song Changsheng analyzed rationally.

"It is possible that he is not the opponent of the tree demon. After all, the tree demon is only one step away from the third level."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng smiled and said, "If that's the case, the tree demon won't lend our hands to get rid of it.

The reason why there are so few living creatures here is all because of the tree demon. It is trained by digesting the flesh and blood of animals. All the living creatures in the valley have been turned into its nutrients.

If it was stronger than the monster in the cave, it would have turned it into its own nourishment long ago. How could it wait until now? Even though its body cannot move, in fact, its root system may have covered the entire valley.

It's only ten miles away, so it won't have any impact on its combat power. "

"Whether it is yes or no, you will know if you try it?" Zhuang Yuechan blinked and said.

"How to try? We have been here for a while, and there is no movement at all. There is no way we can go in."

The situation inside the cave is unknown, so entering hastily is probably not a good idea.

"Doesn't the opponent's lack of movement mean that it is not strong? If it were a third-level monster, it would probably be unable to hold it any longer. Don't worry, I have a way to lure the snake out of its hole."

After that, Zhuang Yuechan placed the Yao Qin horizontally in front of her, plucked the strings and began to play a piece of music with a strange melody. The sound made people feel goosebumps all over their body.

The lingering music of the piano entered the cave and fell into the ears of a huge creature. It had originally made up its mind to shrink to the bottom, but suddenly it felt unusually irritable.

It wanted to isolate these piano sounds, but no matter what it did, it couldn't do it.

He was getting more and more irritated, and the thought of tearing the person playing the piano into pieces gradually arose. Once this thought emerged, it was difficult to contain it, and it grew like a weed.

At a certain moment, it couldn't bear it any longer, neighed, and rushed out dragging its huge body.

Outside the cave entrance, Song Changsheng, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Here we come!"

"boom--"

As soon as the words fell, a ferocious and huge snake head suddenly sprang out. The scarlet snake hesitated and rushed straight to bite Zhuang Yuechan.

Song Changsheng quickly used the [Lu Wu Bell] and hit it firmly on the head, making stars appear in its eyes.

Then Song Changsheng held Zhuang Yuechan's hand and moved back.

The big snake had already been disturbed by the music and lost its mind. It quickly twisted its huge body and chased after him.

Seeing the big snake leaving the cave, Xu Yunhe, who was hiding in the dark, immediately appeared and blocked the big snake's retreat. At this time, Song Changsheng and the other two also stopped retreating, and the three of them formed a "pin" shape and surrounded the big snake.

At this time, Song Changsheng had the opportunity to observe the other party carefully. He saw that the big snake was covered with hard black scales. There was an obvious bulge on the top of its head, and a pair of vertical pupils flashed with a heart-stopping cold light.

And at its heart, it was covered with several scales of obviously different colors and sizes, exuding a strong demonic aura. They were the dragon scales that Song Changsheng was looking for.

"Brother Xu, be careful Yuechan, it has swallowed the flesh and blood of the Black Dragon Demon King and is about to turn into a dragon!"
