Banshee Family Training Record

"Qi Qiao, come up here!" With no other choice, Yun Chu'an called out, asking them to come and help. "Sixth Sister, tie it up!"

Qi Qiao immediately took off, leaping like a spring and crashing into the bear demon's head. Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was too great. Although this zombie girl's physical strength far exceeded that of refined steel, her cultivation level was not up to par, so she could only be considered a nuisance.

But later, Liu Mengshen's cultivation level became exactly the same as this bear demon's. With a flick of her wrist, long willow branches shot out from her sleeve below her wrist, instantly binding the enormous bear demon tightly.

The bear demon growled and tried to break free. Its brute strength was not enough to tear the willow branches apart, but the gray wolf king slapped it twice on the face, making it unable to concentrate on dealing with the willow branches.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Chuan detonated several more explosive tags on his body. The severe injuries accumulated one after another, and finally, the guy let out a wail and fell to the ground, finally losing all power to resist.

Guangzhi has also won. His skillful and technical fighting style is a natural counter to these bear demons who haven't even fully transformed and are covered in fur. Not to mention, with the blessing of Yun Chuan'an's magic, he is almost invincible among those of the same level.

The remaining wolf demons could be considered to have won. Although many of them were bruised and injured, their spirits were extremely high, showing no signs of weakness.

Liu Mengshen maintained her willow branches, controlling the largest black bear and rendering it immobile. However, the girl's attention was not on him; her large eyes were fixed on Yun Chu'an, filled with curiosity.

The black bear tried to resist, but it was too weak from its injuries. After struggling for a moment, it realized that it was powerless to change its fate and cried out in grief and indignation, "Is the only outcome for our black bear clan to be our gallbladders for medicine?!"

"No, I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"

Yun Chu'an looked at the black bear that suddenly broke down and cried, his expression somewhat speechless: "Who said I wanted to take your bear gall to make medicine? Our Huai Shan family is just here to pay a visit and clarify some issues. Why do you all want to fight and kill as soon as we meet, as if we have some deep-seated blood feud?"

The bear demon bound in front of him was clearly not listening to anything, and was still cursing and crying, making Yun Chu'an suspect that he was an idiot.

However, at that very moment, a deep sigh suddenly came from the distant woods: "Don't cry, Aaron, people will laugh at us."

The voice sounded old and weak, filled with heartache, but not much blame. Hearing the old man's voice, Black Bear cried even harder: "Father, I am incompetent! I couldn't protect my elder brother, nor could I guard the mountain gate for you..."

He cried out, his emotions spiraling out of control. But the moment this conversation began, Yun Chu'an was stunned, then his hair stood on end, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Holy crap, is this black bear's father?

That would be Qi Xiong, the head of the Black Bear Clan, a Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivator from the Black Bear race!

Is he here too?

Could it really be him?

He felt a little nervous. A Foundation Establishment cultivator was someone that even if all of them combined, Hua Caiyan would not be able to deal with even if she performed perfectly.

However, more than nervousness, he was actually puzzled.

Wait a minute, why isn't this guy, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, guarding his own lair? Why did he come all the way to this barren and desolate little hill?

He didn't understand, then he heard the voice in the distance sigh again and say, "Aron, they are not enemies. Bring them here."

Hearing this, the enormous black bear wiped away its tears and suppressed its sobs. Liu Mengshen gathered her willow branches, allowing the large creature to stand up and limp backward, leading the way for them.

Yun Chu'an gestured to his wolf demons to release the captured bear demons, and then walked in front of them, heading deeper into the forest.

Soon, at the entrance of a cave, he saw a bald, middle-aged man slowly walking out with faltering steps.

Clearly, this was also a black bear spirit, and the father of that big black bear. However, his transformation technique was far more refined than that of his children, grandchildren, and other members of the bear demon family. He could completely transform into human form, and outwardly, there was nothing unusual about him.

Yun Chu'an used the method of observing qi to observe him for a while and found that although his cultivation level was fluctuating and very unstable, it did indeed have the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He immediately guessed the man's identity; this man must be Qi Xiong, the leader of the Black Bear Clan. Although this unexpected encounter made him quite nervous, he remained calm, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Yun Chu'an, envoy of the Huai Shan Clan, greets Senior Qi."

Before him, Qi Xiong seemed unsurprised that he could guess his identity: "My son is foolish and does not understand the rules of interaction among cultivators. He has made the Huai Shan family laugh at him."

Yun Chu'an did not respond to this question, but continued to explain the purpose of his trip: "This time, I am here on behalf of the Huai Shan family to find out about the incident that happened a few days ago, which is why these wolf demons who originally lived in my territory suddenly became homeless and ran around, causing the surrounding order to be disrupted."

He said this, and the little wolf demons recognized the most powerful bear demon who had defeated them that day. For a moment, most of them were terrified and hid behind Yun Chu'an, trembling.

Only Uwe remained standing in front of him, his expression extremely tense, yet he faithfully played his role.

Ahead, at the entrance of the cave, the middle-aged bald man said in a deep voice, "As far as I can tell, when the Huai Shan family came here back then, they did not make any clear claims about this place. When we came that day, these wolf demons did not tell us the truth either."

"Therefore, we made a wrong judgment and caused such a mess, which was really not right."

That's the truth. Granny Huaishan was too lazy to manage the family territory, and Fourth Sister was so busy every day that she was practically running around. So the small hills around their own territory were really neglected.

However, he didn't dwell on this matter, glossing over it in a single sentence before attributing the main responsibility to the wolf demons for not explaining things clearly.

Chapter 76 Snake Demon! Maru Swallow!

The surrounding wolf demons exchanged bewildered glances, wanting to refute but unsure where to begin. Yun Chu'an gestured for them to calm down and took the initiative to say, "So, in the end, this whole thing is a misunderstanding?"

Qi Xiong's throat bobbed, and he lowered his head, letting out a sigh: "It seems that's how it is. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, of course, our family will not let such a mistake continue."

"However, we would appreciate it if the Huai Shan family could grant us some time so that we can prepare and provide support."

Yun Chu'an narrowed his eyes. He was only a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, while the other party had already reached Foundation Establishment. Yet, at this moment, the other party was extremely respectful to him.

He would never have acted this way unless faced with an insurmountable difficulty. This piqued his curiosity. In any case, according to the old bear, the task his fourth sister had given him could be considered completed, so figuring out what was behind it might bring him more benefits.

“Senior, there’s no need for that. There’s no rush,” he said. “Our two families are neighbors, so we should help and support each other in case of any unforeseen events.”

"Does Senior need spirit stones and herbs? I can also inform Granny about this and lend you some. You can repay her later when you have recovered."

He tried his best to express his goodwill and proactively revealed some information. The bald, burly man looked at him with slight surprise; a mere Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator could actually tell that he was injured.

No wonder the wolf king at the fifth level of Qi Refining and the woman at the sixth level of Qi Refining in their group both looked up to him and obeyed his commands.

His mind was racing. Ahead, Yun Chu'an continued to ask, "Senior, you may continue to stay here. However, we don't know what kind of threat injured you like this. Please tell us so that we can be prepared."

Beside him, the Grey Wolf King glanced at him, thinking to himself that this used to be his territory.

But upon closer examination of the spirit stones provided by Yun Chuan, it became clear that with the capabilities of their wolf demon family, they had no way of learning how to create spirit stones, let alone setting up an extremely complex spirit-gathering stone array.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly felt that it was quite good for the black bear monsters to continue living on this mountain, so that he could continue to freeload off Yun Chu'an and have spirit stones to use.

Having figured this out, Uvi felt a surge of joy. Ahead, Qi Xiong sighed and said, "It's a snake demon."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an was taken aback: "A snake demon?"

“Yes.” The bald, burly man nodded. “A snake demon with extremely high cultivation, but I had never heard of him before and do not recognize him.”

"He suddenly showed up at my door, wanting to take my bear gall to make medicine. I was no match for him, so I had to flee with my family. Luckily, he was also injured and couldn't catch up quickly. It's just a pity that my eldest son died protecting me..."

He lowered his head and clenched his fists. Beside him, the black bear spirit Qi Alon, who had calmed down, began to sob softly again: "Waaah, brother..."

Yun Chu'an put on a sad expression and politely said "Please accept my condolences," but in his heart, he began to ponder and had a bad feeling.

A giant snake demon with extremely high cultivation, yet heavily injured.

This……

He kept guessing. Qi Xiong quickly composed himself and took a deep breath, saying, "I guess they are cultivators from the snake demon family who escaped from the other side of the mountain. Once they come to our mountain, they will surely cause a bloodbath."

“We won’t stay here for long. I’ve already contacted my friend, a deer-clan cultivator. She owes me a favor. Once she arrives, my whole family will leave and will never bother the Huai Shan family again.”

He said this, and even though he was seriously injured, he still managed to keep himself and his family in good order. Yun Chu'an felt a sense of respect and thought that he could leave tonight.

After all, the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it was impossible for him to be forcibly driven away. Going back to find his fourth sister to restore his sight was the wiser choice.

But just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, a gust of wind rose around him!

A sudden gust of wind whipped at everyone's clothes, and the chilling air made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave; even the cultivators couldn't help but wrap themselves tighter in their clothes.

Thick black smoke suddenly appeared above the forest, completely obscuring even the last glimmer of starlight in the dead of night. Panic surged through everyone's hearts; the wolf demons immediately raised their tails, and the bear demons bristled.

The sense of crisis brought on by their instinctive alertness made their bodies tense and their hearts pound.

"Who?!"

Qi Xiong's eyes widened as the familiar scene gripped his heart, reminding him of the tragic day when his family was destroyed.

Then, a slightly shrill voice rang out from above: "Your eldest son is undoubtedly loyal and brave, but unfortunately tonight, there is no one else like him to protect you!"

The sinister voice caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically. Yun Chu'an felt as if his heart was being squeezed, because he recognized that voice—it was the voice of the enormous snake demon that had attacked him at Weihu Market that day!

That guy is actually here?!

He was utterly shocked, and the billowing black smoke had completely enveloped the forest, turning it into a place of absolute darkness and despair.

It was like the absolute control domain of that snake demon.

From within the black smoke, a serpent demon, as large as half a basketball court, slowly emerged, its vertical pupils glowing crimson, its gaze fixed on Qi Xiong with greed.

During this time, he had been hiding and had not been found by those who were hunting him, but because of this, his own family members could not find him at all.

Its wounds were too severe to heal naturally, so these days it could only hide while searching for a treatment method on its own.

The bear's gallbladder was what it had its eye on—the way to cure itself. Having failed to kill it with a single blow last time, it was much more cautious this time, deliberately scouting the area until now, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

He had actually wanted to wait a little longer, but when he heard Yun Chu'an say that he would give the black bear some spirit stones and pills to help it recover from its injuries, he immediately knew that he could not wait here any longer and had to deal with both the bear and the man!

“I’ve already eaten your son.” It flicked its tongue, drool almost dripping from its mouth. “Delicious, but not enough.”

"What I want is you!"

Its few words ignited the hatred in Qi Xiong's heart, forcing him to confront it head-on. Its massive body swooped down. Although Qi Xiong was filled with grief and anger, he was more worried about his second son. Turning to Qi Alon, he roared, "My son, run!"

Liu Mengshen had already untied the willow branches binding Qi Alon, that silly bear. The latter got up, his face filled with grief and indignation, and reached out to grab his father: "Father—!"

The two bears, father and son, roared at each other, their sorrowful emotions moving people. However, Yun Chu'an had no time to be moved by their feelings, and thus he became the target of the snake demon!

Qi Xiong was talking to him just now, and the two of them are now the closest. When the snake demon opened its blood-red maw, he actually became one of the targets!

Chapter 77 Inside the Snake Demon's Belly (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Depend on!"

Yun Chu'an cursed angrily and turned around, trying to use the spell "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" to escape. However, how could a mere Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator like him possibly break free from the long-planned sneak attack of a late-stage Foundation Establishment snake demon? Immediately, a huge attraction came and wrapped around his body, making him almost unable to move!

The giant serpent demon descended from the sky and opened its blood-red maw, a mouth that could almost swallow an entire basketball court, and swallowed him, Qi Xiong, Qi Alon, and the Grey Wolf King Uvi whole. None of them were spared!

"Peace be with you!"

Liu Mengshen cried out urgently and stretched out her willow branch to strike the giant python's head. However, her strength was so small that it had no effect on the sturdy scales of the late Foundation Establishment stage snake demon!

Zombie Qi Qiao also leaped up, trying to use her body to smash into the snake demon's mouth and force it to open. But even with her strength, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and she couldn't budge the snake demon at all!

They had not witnessed the earth-shattering battle that took place on Wei Lake that day, so they couldn't even accurately determine the snake demon's cultivation level!

"snort--!"

The snake demon glanced at the two women out of the corner of its eye, completely ignoring them. Its injuries could no longer be ignored; it needed to kill the Foundation Establishment stage bear demon inside its mouth as soon as possible to replenish its strength!

With a slight twist of its massive body, the snake demon instinctively protected itself with its spiritual power. With a single impact, the two girls were sent flying backward, one after the other, their bodies feeling as if they were about to fall apart. They were unable to achieve any effective results!

Fortunately, this guy had no intention of lingering on the two of them any longer. Like a starving ghost in a hurry to eat, he had no time to bother with flies. He turned around and created distance, gathering his power in his mouth and throat, intending to forcibly refine all the people inside!

The snake demon's mouth was pitch black, and Yun Chu'an felt immense pressure coming from above and below his head, as if his bones were about to break!

As a Qi Refining stage cultivator, he was completely unable to withstand this pressure, but fortunately, he wasn't the only one present!

"Ugh—!"

Old Xiong Qi Xiong roared, and his body rapidly transformed, turning from a bald, burly man into a giant, upright, pitch-black bear in the blink of an eye.

Although the pressure prevented his body from growing any larger, he stretched out his claws and pressed them against the snake demon's upper jaw, using his own flesh to resist the immense force pressing down on him!

At the same time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared in a low voice, "Quickly think of a way to attack its throat, make it open its mouth, and let us out!"

However, even though he shouted like that, the remaining people's cultivation levels were extremely limited, and they couldn't help at all under these circumstances.

Yun Chu'an was extremely nervous. His mind screamed frantically, trying to activate the golden needles his fourth sister had given him to fight back. However, under this level of pressure, his spiritual power was like being trapped in quagmire, almost unable to move.

Moreover, realizing the old bear's stubborn resistance, the snake demon reacted even faster, immediately launching its next move: "If you don't want to become mincemeat, fine, just turn into bones!"

It began to swallow downwards, its astonishing power forcing everyone to slide irresistibly into its belly. There, stomach acid powerful enough to corrode even the bones of several people surged in from all directions, engulfing them all.

Uvi and Qi'alon both let out shrill screams. Boundless despair appeared in the eyes of Old Bear Qi Xiong. He realized that none of the others in the giant snake's stomach could provide any help, so his stubborn resistance was only delaying his inevitable death.

It doesn't matter if I die, but my only son is here too...

He felt despair and grief, but at that very moment, another unexpected event occurred.

Inside the giant serpent's stomach, on Yun Chu'an's body, which had just been swallowed by the strong acid, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone, and a magnificent and holy voice resounded, guiding boundless power to expand in all directions!

The giant snake's stomach, which was originally narrow and cramped, and whose immense pressure had almost crushed them all into mincemeat, was suddenly stretched open, expanded and rounded, and became uncontrollable!

The immense pressure vanished instantly, and Yun Chu'an felt his spiritual energy flow freely and smoothly once again!

"what--"
