Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 94 Beneath Broken Tooth Peak (Ten Updates, Please Subscribe)

Deep in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

A group of people dressed in Xu-style martial arts attire were walking through the mountains and forests, with the two leaders dressed differently.

One of them was a young woman, sitting cross-legged on the back of a different kind of white tiger.

These two people are Xu Mingshu and Xu Mingxuan.

The number of top-tier martial artists and peak acquired martial artists in the Xu family is constantly increasing. In addition to the direct descendants, there are also two or three innate martial artists.

Xu Mingshu wanted to capture some young animals to tame, so she had to go deep into the mountains.

Upon learning of this, Xu Mingwei, after some deliberation, ordered him and Xu Mingxuan to lead the family's top guards into the mountains.

Over the past few months, we've encountered many exotic beasts, but not a single juvenile.

Even though Xu Mingshu has the ability to communicate with animals, these adult beasts are unintelligent and naturally savage. All she has is the ability to communicate, not to tame them with a single word.

If that's true, it really is the work of immortals.

Only young animals, raised from a young age, can be made to obey her every word.

They took back as many of the dead animals as they could, either to add some game to their homes or to reward the families of their guards.

In addition, they also collected several very rare spiritual herbs and flowers that were twenty or thirty years old, and took them back along with the surrounding soil, planting them in the Bihan Pool medicinal field.

All spiritual creatures are accompanied by strange beasts.

Xu Mingshu and the others had also fought against one or two demonic beasts at the second or third level of Qi Refining, and even killed a ferocious blood wolf.

The major families of Yuehu County also have such teams that hunt monsters and search for rare medicinal herbs, spiritual medicines, iron ore, and so on.

They sold these cultivation resources to Qi Refining families in exchange for spirit stones and other resources to supply the cultivators in their clans.

The Xu family, on the other hand, collected all of these in their own storeroom, waiting for them to be used one day.

"Xueji, look ahead, that's Broken Tooth Peak. It really does resemble the fangs of an ancient behemoth. The mountain is so steep that it's almost impossible to climb."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingshu looked up and saw the Broken Tooth Peak, which pierced the clouds, standing several miles away from them.

"From the perspective of Dongxi Village, it seems ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one can discover its natural wonder and magnificent spectacle."

Suddenly.

Two or three miles to the left of the column, the cry of an eagle rang out, its sharpness piercing the clouds.

Then came a roar.

Xu Mingxuan and his sister exchanged a glance, then Xu Mingshu said with a slight smile, "Third brother, you have the best intuition when something happens. Do you think we should go and see what's going on?"

"If its eagle's cry could be heard so clearly from miles away, it must be a demonic beast."

Xu Mingxuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said, "When two beasts fight, one will surely be injured, and we can reap the benefits."

Xu Mingshu smiled sweetly, her eyebrows and eyes like crescent moons, radiating vitality.

"Then go."

In addition to Xu Mingxuan and his sister, the Xu family team also includes two Xiantian (innate) practitioners, eight Houtian (acquired) peak practitioners, and sixteen first-class martial artists.

Some people carried shields, some carried quivers and bows and arrows, and most carried knives, swords or guns.

If there were also cultivators who could cast spells, the team would be even more perfect.

They advanced quickly until they were within a few hundred meters of the two beasts fighting, at which point they became cautious.

In front of us was a vast open space, with a small lake about 100 meters in diameter in the center.

Not far from the lake, a red-scaled python, as thick as a water bucket, coiled up and faced off against a giant blue eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters.

Both of these beasts are quite unusual.

The red-scaled python has a small black protrusion on its forehead, while the blue giant eagle has a small patch of blue flame on its head, which, if not looked at closely, could be mistaken for feathers on its head.

At this moment, the red-scaled python had multiple wounds, its scales were broken, and its flesh was mangled.

roar~
uh~
Suddenly, two astonishing sound waves spread outwards.

The lake, which was originally as clear and blue as a mirror, suddenly rose up in layers of waves, which crashed against the shore one after another, splashing up three-foot-high white waves.

The trees around Xu Mingshu and the others were also swaying incessantly.

Everyone's Adam's apples bobbed, and their eyes met, all filled with shock.

"Don't be impatient. My intuition tells me there's something to be gained. Let's wait and see."

"I trust you again."

They concealed themselves and waited at the edge of the forest for an opportunity to strike.

Suddenly, the blue sky seemed to tear open, and a giant eagle with wings that seemed to reach the heavens swept across the sky.

Its claws, as black as quenched gold, gleamed in the sunlight, and suddenly pierced the seven inches of the red python.

That red-scaled python was no ordinary creature; as it raised its head and flicked its tongue, its fangs, white as spears, lashed out to devour the eagle's belly.

However, the azure eagle flapped its wings like lightning, tearing the python's flesh to shreds with its claws, before transforming into a blue rainbow and escaping. The crimson python, enraged, suddenly spewed out three feet of purple mist, instantly filling the wilderness with miasma.

Unexpectedly, the eagle cried out from the deep marsh, its wings billowing like clouds hanging from the sky, dispelling the poisonous fog.

Wherever the pale purple mist reached, the vegetation suddenly lost its lushness.

The green leaves turned dark, and the branches withered on the ground, as if they had been burned by a ghostly fire.

"Third Brother," Xu Mingshu said in a low voice, "what grade do you think these two demonic beasts are?"

"At the late stage of Qi Refining, around the seventh level, with the abilities and physical prowess of these two beasts, even an ordinary Grandmaster at the peak of cultivation would likely be no match for them."

Xu Mingxuan glanced at Xu Mingshu and noticed some unease in her eyes.

"Wait a little longer. The Red Python's defeat is almost a foregone conclusion. I'm betting that the Azure Eagle won't take the entire snake body away. If that happens, we'll be rich."

"Its scales and fangs can be used to make magical artifacts, and its flesh and blood contain boundless essence, making it a great tonic for martial artists."

"We two also have our second brother, whose talent is not as good as our eldest brother and Yunnu. Without external help, we will eventually find it difficult to catch up. But with this opportunity, we may be able to achieve the Innate Perfection within one or two years."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Third Brother."

Everyone held their breath and lay prone among the grass and trees.

But the blue eagle flapped its wings like lightning, swooping down repeatedly.

Although the red-scaled python spewed out venomous flames, it was exhausted and its scales and armor peeled off, staining the red soil with blood.

In the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea.

The crimson-scaled python's pupils gradually blurred and could no longer focus, finally collapsing to the ground in a flurry of dust.

His body trembled a few times, as if unwilling to accept it.

The vegetation around its body has withered.

uh~
A long cry pierced the clouds, its sound carrying for miles.

With a flap of its wings, the Azure Eagle unleashed a whirlwind, standing proudly above the Crimson Scale Python.

Eagle Eyes darted around a few times, then its sharp claws aimed at a certain part of the Crimson Scale Python, snatching out a bluish-purple snake gall. In an instant, it flapped its wings and flew towards the cliff face of Broken Tooth Peak.

"It really flew away."

Xu Mingxuan's lips curled up slightly, and he waved his hand, saying, "Quickly, everyone move that Crimson Scale Python. Wrap your hands in cloth and do not touch it directly with your flesh and blood. Take away any scattered scales as well."

"Yes, Third Master."

The guards clasped their hands in a fist salute and immediately did as instructed.

Xu Mingshu gave Xu Mingxuan a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Third Brother is truly a genius. How did you manage to do that?"

“It’s just based on intuition.” Xu Mingxuan clapped his hands and laughed. “My father always said that my intuition is the most accurate, and taught me to follow my heart when I am indecisive.”

This is my talent, much like how Xueji can communicate with birds and beasts.

Xu Mingshu's eyes flickered, and she lightly touched her temple with her fingertips: "Fine, I'll believe you this time."

Only a few dozen breaths had passed.

The Xu family guards cleaned up the battlefield thoroughly, and then followed the mountain path they had come from, traversing through the forest.

They were terrified that the blue eagle would turn back and discover that they had stolen its spoils.

If they were discovered, they didn't think they could escape the Green Eagle's gaze.

"Go in the direction I point out."

Xu Mingxuan spoke again, and everyone was convinced and did as he said without the slightest hesitation.

As for the blue eagle returning to the lakeside, it was furious to find no trace of the red-scaled python. Its cry pierced the clouds and carried for dozens of miles.

However, it ultimately went to the wrong place, allowing Xu Mingxuan and his group to escape.

The white tiger coveted the flesh and blood of the red-scaled python, letting out a few low growls as it ran.

"You stinky newbie, you didn't even lift a finger in this battle, yet you're still thinking about taking a share of the spoils. How cunning of you!"

roar~
"Seeing is believing? Where did you hear that? Are you a demon beast? You believe in this human nonsense?"

Hoho~
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingxuan laughed and said, "Xueji, the Crimson Scale Python's body is so large that its scales and fangs should be kept for other uses, but everyone present can have a share of its flesh and blood."

"Thank you, Third Master!" The guards were overjoyed.

"Since you've said so, Third Brother, then we'll listen to you."

roar~
The white tiger growled again.

"Is Xiaobai thanking me?"

"That's right. This stupid tiger is greedy and ungrateful. He said that for the sake of the Red Scale Python's flesh and blood, he can let you ride it a few more times in the future."

"Let's return to our residence safely first and then make further plans. I have a feeling that there might be treasure in this eagle's nest."
