A Biography of the Liu Family in Peach Blossom Mountain

Chapter 6 Night Watch

After everyone dispersed, Liu Zhangxu began his first night watch, accompanied by his Uncle Liu Shijie, Uncle Liu Shijia, and his brother Liu Zhangshun.

Each person was responsible for monitoring a specific direction. Liu Zhangxu was in charge of the east, sitting facing that direction and occasionally scanning the area with his Golden Eye Technique.

In the night of the mountains, the bright moon hung high, serene yet hiding a hidden danger. Occasionally, roars of beasts could be heard from afar.

Many fierce Demonic Beasts would come out at night to hunt for food. Unbeknownst to them, a gentle mountain breeze began to blow, accompanied by a drizzling rain.

The Little Five Elements Concealment Formation emitted a faint black light, not only concealing their movements but also blocking out the wind and rain.

As a Rank One High Grade formation, the Little Five Elements Concealment Formation had excellent illusion and stealth effects. The light shield of the formation would change according to the surrounding spiritual energy.

If the Little Five Elements Concealment Formation were set up in the desert, cultivators and Demonic Beasts in the distance would see it as a desert. If it were set up in a forest, it would appear as a forest.

Moreover, the Little Five Elements Concealment Formation also had decent defensive capabilities, able to withstand the full force attack of an early Foundation Building cultivator.

This formation was an important equipment for the Liu Family's hunting team when they went out to hunt Demonic Beasts. The family had spent 3500 low-grade spirit stones to acquire this formation.

During their watch, Liu Zhangxu and Liu Zhangshun, who had a good relationship, chatted quietly while investigating the surroundings.

Of course, they mostly talked about cultivation. Although Liu Zhangshun was older, his cultivation level was not as high as Liu Zhangxu's, so he admired Liu Zhangxu and would seize any opportunity to seek guidance from him.

Time unknowingly passed until the early morning. Suddenly, Liu Zhangxu heard distant roars of Demonic Beasts from the north, but due to the darkness and the wind and rain, he couldn't see clearly with his Spiritual Eye Technique.

Liu Zhangxu immediately activated his Spirit Ear Technique, causing his ears to expand by a circle with the use of mana, making the distant beast roars immediately clear.

Based on the results of his Spirit Ear Technique, he deduced that there was a wolf pack hunting a deer herd twenty miles north of their camp.

Liu Zhangxu clearly heard the howls of wolves, the cries of deer, and the sounds of tearing and fighting, which echoed incessantly in his ears.

Wolf packs had always been a major threat to cultivation families. Each wolf pack had at least ten or more Demonic Wolves, with some even having one or two hundred.

If there were dozens of Demonic Wolves in a wolf pack, not to mention their small hunting team, even if all the cultivators of the Liu Family gathered, they could only defend themselves with the family's large formation.

After discovering this situation, Liu Zhangxu quickly informed his Uncle Liu Shijie.

Uncle Liu Shijie also sensed that something was wrong. After using his Spirit Ear Technique to listen for a while, he furrowed his brows and woke up Grandpa Liu Baichuan, who was sleeping.

After Grandpa Liu Baichuan used his Spirit Ear Technique to listen for a while, his expression became serious.

Grandpa Liu Baichuan had a higher cultivation level and could hear the sounds more clearly. He also had a deep fear of this wolf pack that had entered the family's territory.

After thinking for a while, Grandpa Liu Baichuan believed that the most urgent task was to find out the detailed number and strength of this wolf pack.

Although the individual strength of each Demonic Wolf in the wolf pack was not as strong as that of tiger or leopard-type Demonic Beasts, their tight organization, good discipline, and cunning minds made most cultivators wary.

After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Grandpa Liu Baichuan woke up all the sleeping clan members and arranged for Uncle Liu Shijie to lead them to stay at the camp and continue monitoring the movements of the wolf pack.

He himself changed into a black robe and put on a black hat. This robe and hat were made of black silk and had a certain blocking effect on divine sense. They also provided good protection and were the best robes that Liu Baichuan had. He only wore them when he went out to scout against powerful Great Monster Beasts.

Before leaving, Liu Baichuan instructed everyone to be prepared for battle and to listen for his news. If the situation became untenable, they should quickly escape back to the family.

At the same time, Liu Baichuan used a Hundred Miles Voice Transmission Talisman to inform the family patriarch of the situation, hoping that the family would make the necessary preparations. After finishing his instructions, Liu Baichuan quickly disappeared into the night.

Everyone anxiously waited for news from Liu Baichuan at the camp. At this moment, Liu Zhangxu was very worried about Liu Baichuan's safety. He realized that the family was too weak, and even a group of wolves could threaten their safety. I must lead the family to become stronger, Liu Zhangxu silently vowed!
