Time flies.

In the next half month, Chen An and his wife and daughters did not leave the tunnel.

Just take refuge quietly in the tunnel.

During this period, my wives and daughters were very sensible and did not have any objections.

Especially the two young daughters, they never clamored to go out.

Very well behaved and obedient.

As the head of the family, Chen An, apart from his daily practice and alchemy, spends most of his time being affectionate with his wives and concubines, or playing with his two daughters.

The eldest daughter, Chen Yuejian, was very playful and would pester him to play various games or listen to stories every day.

The second daughter followed with a silly look on her face, neither crying, making a fuss, nor laughing.

This day.

late at night.

Chen An was affectionate with Shen Qingyi in the room. After they were done, he put his arm around Shen Qingyi's shoulders and asked softly, "Qingyi, how about we have a baby?"

"Still no."

Shen Qingyi refused without even thinking.

Chen An propped himself up and leaned on Shen Qingyi who was lying flat on the bed. He looked down at her and said, "Qingyi, you obviously like children very much, why don't you have one yourself?"

"My personality is not suitable. I like freedom and don't like being constrained by children. I want to do what I like by myself."

Shen Qingyi said whatever she thought, without deliberately looking for any non-existent excuses.

Chen An felt a little disappointed, but he did not force it and tried his best to respect Shen Qingyi's wishes.

Shen Qingyi noticed Chen An's disappointment, and took the initiative to raise her hands to hug his neck, and said with a hint of affection and guilt in her eyes: "I just don't want to do it now. If I change my mind one day, I will tell you the first time."

"good."

Chen An smiled and then said, "Let's continue while we still have time."

"Um."

Shen Qingyi said in a soft voice.

That night, in order to take care of Chen An's newly emerging feeling of loss, she became more proactive than ever before.

As long as you don't have kids.

As for the rest, Chen An can do whatever he wants.

Happy times always pass quickly.

In a blink of an eye.

Time came to the next day.

Chen An got up early and found a cave with good air circulation to meditate and practice.

As for refining the elixir, I don’t have the materials and the alchemy room, so I can’t do it for the time being.

"Husband, the water at home is used up."

Chen An had just sat down and had not been practicing for long when he saw Gu Xinyue walking towards him with a worried look on her face and said.

Chen An smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go out and get some water now."

"Husband, you have to be careful."

Gu Xinyue said with a worried look on her face.

There are monsters everywhere outside now, and the lowest ones are all foundation-building monsters. It is hard not to worry.

Chen An stood up and touched her head, gave her a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. If there is anything else, we can contact each other through musical notes."

After saying that, Chen An kissed her on the face, turned around and was about to leave the tunnel and head to the ground.

After Shen Qingyi saw this, she walked up and said, "Husband, I will go with you."

"No, you stay and look after the house. After I leave, you will be the only foundation-building cultivator left at home. You have to protect them."

"Oh well."

"Well, I'm leaving now. If you need anything, please contact me by voice note."

After saying this, Chen An quickly left the tunnel and came to the ground outside which he had left for a long time.

At this time, the ground was in a mess wherever the eyes looked.

The house, which originally only had a hole in the roof, had now completely collapsed to the ground, with rubble and broken beams scattered everywhere.

The vegetable garden, chicken coop and pond in the yard were all destroyed beyond recognition.

At first glance, all you can see are the bumpy footprints of giant beasts.

"It seems that this tunnel was dug correctly."

Chen An was glad that he had made a wise choice half a month ago.

Soon after, he took out the Flying Boat Sword, jumped lightly on it, and flew high into the sky with a whoosh.

He had not lived in Baicao Lane for long and rarely went out, so he was not very familiar with the terrain here.

If you want to find water source, you have to go up to the sky and look down.

After looking down.

Chen An discovered that there were many more monsters on the ground than he had imagined.

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

Continue to look for water source carefully.

Soon, he found a quietly flowing stream in a woods several miles away from South Lane.

“We found water!”

Chen An was delighted and flew over on his sword without saying a word.

Stop at the stream.

The water was unexpectedly clear.

Chen An didn't think much about it. He directly took out an empty storage bag and collected dozens of cubic meters of stream water into it.

There are seven people in the family. As long as we use it sparingly, it can last at least two to three days.

"Um?"

Chen An was about to leave when he suddenly saw a fat spirit fish floating up in the river not far away.

Almost as big as a bucket.

The belly is slightly turned up.

Just floating on the water, dying.

Looks like he is old and dying.

Chen An felt that this situation was somewhat familiar, as if he had encountered a water ghost from some ghost stories in his previous life.

The favorite trick of these water ghosts is to transform themselves into fish and float on the water, luring people on the shore to go into the water and catch fish.

Then, they pulled the person into the water and drowned him.

As he thought about it, Chen An's spiritual awareness opened up and he could see through the entire stream in front of him.

It turned out just as expected.

What was floating on the river was not a spirit fish, but a water monster that looked like a monkey.

"puff!"

Chen An directly released a golden light, killing the water monster with one blow.

He immediately activated his spiritual power and sucked the water monster's body from the surface of the river into his hands.

The water monster is very small, basically skin and bones, without any flesh at all.

Even if there is meat, it is poisonous and not suitable for food.

But Chen An doesn't care.

If you want to eat monster meat, just hunt other monsters.

What he is eyeing now is the water monster's core.

Soon, he took out a light blue round core from near the water monster's heart.

Walnut-sized.

Very round.

Holding it in my hand, I felt a slight coolness.

It can be used as an air conditioner in summer.

After Chen An looked at the demon core in his hand, he put it into the storage bag without thinking.

He didn't stay any longer, took out the Feizhou Sword and prepared to go home.

Circling high in the sky.

Their cultivation is not inferior to the foundation-building stage.

Some even reached the Golden Elixir stage.

These bird monsters circled for a while, and soon dived to the ground one after another.

After a moment, they flapped their wings and soared into the sky again.

The difference from when they swooped down just now was that most of these bird monsters now had human monks in their claws.

Take a closer look.

Eight out of ten of these human monks were disemboweled and died beyond all possibility of death.

The few who were still alive were shouting in terror.

However, he didn't live long, as he was soon caught to death by the bird demon's claws.

"Under the current circumstances, it is definitely impossible to fly with a sword."

“I can only walk home.”

"It may take a little longer, so I have to tell my wives and concubines at home."

Chen An thought about taking out the sound transmission talisman and sending a message to Shen Qingyi at home, saying that he might be home late.

Shen Qingyi asked him what was wrong, and he did not hide it and explained the situation directly.

He said that the sky was now full of bird monsters, and he couldn't fly on his sword, so he could only walk home.

After Shen Qingyi understood the situation, she told him to put safety first and not to take risks and rush home.

We had a brief exchange of words.

Chen An put away the sound transmission talisman and chose to go home through the dense forest in front.

The plants in the dense forest have dense branches and leaves, and walking in it can effectively resist the hunting of bird monsters.

But when he entered the forest and saw the groups of tree monsters inside, he was completely stunned.

Where did the tree monster come from in Baicao Lane?

Weren’t all those monsters that fell from the sky yesterday monster beasts ?

“Swish…swish…swish!”

“Shua!”

When the group of tree monsters saw Chen An, they uprooted themselves from the ground and rushed towards Chen An, waving their vines like moths to a flame.

Chen An sensed the cultivation level of the group of tree monsters.

The minimum start point is to build a foundation.

But the highest level is just foundation building.

It turned out to be a group of weaklings.

Why are you still running? Just kill them! Chen An knows how to bully the weak and fear the strong. The next moment, wisps of fire appeared from the tips of his ten fingers, and he set fire to the mountain.

In just a moment, the group of tree monsters that had swarmed in and looked very ferocious were instantly burned into charcoal by the fire and lost all life signs.

Chen An did not waste any time and immediately went up to take out the demon core from the remains of the tree demon.

The core of the wood demon contains a large amount of wood essence.

It just so happened that my little wife was of the bloodline of the flower god, and had a wood-attributed demon core in her body, which was equivalent to the wood spiritual root of the human race. She could absorb these tree demon cores to nourish her own demon core.

In just a moment, Chen An took out all the tree demon cores and put them into the storage bag.

"This monster disaster is a disaster for the low-level independent cultivators in Baicao Lane."

“But for cultivators like me who have reached the foundation building stage or above, it is both a risk and an opportunity.”

"Because there are more monsters, there are more resources."

Chen An thought about it and quickly left.

This place has just been ravaged by the Dan fire, and there is burnt smoke rising up into the sky, which may easily attract the attention of other people or monsters, so it is better to leave quickly.

However! Before Chen An walked a few meters, a large group of monks suddenly rushed out from the woods next to him.

There are both men and women.

All members have reached foundation building level or above.

The old man in the lead had reached the Golden Core realm.

Chen An quickly looked at this group of monks.

The words "Black Wind" were embroidered on his clothes.

This person is not from the Red Fire Gang.

Suspected to be a member of the Black Wind Gang.

Chen An was puzzled.

Isn't Baicao Lane the territory of the Red Fire Gang? Why are there so many people from the Black Wind Gang?

On the other side, the Jindan old man took a look at the remains of the tree monster in front of him, and then his eyes fell on Chen An.

Seeing that Chen An was alone, the old man with the golden elixir smiled and said, "Daoyou, hand over the tree demon core you just collected, and I can spare you..."

But before he could finish his words, Chen An in front of him turned around and ran away without saying a word.

He ran very fast without even looking back.

Hand over the demon core and you will spare my life? Anyone who believes this is an idiot! In this situation, any robbery cultivator would kill the witnesses afterwards. How could they leave hidden dangers for themselves?

Behind him, everyone from the Black Wind Gang was dumbfounded.

Shit, he ran away? After a moment of reaction, the leading Jindan elder said with a gloomy face:

"Chase!"

The next second, everyone from the Black Wind Gang immediately chased after Chen An.

The leader of the Black Wind Gang practices Wind Walking Technique, and all the people in the gang have amazing footwork.

In just a moment, they caught up with Chen An who was running wildly in front of them and surrounded him.

"I was also attracted here by the thick smoke. I didn't kill those tree monsters."

Chen An knew he couldn't run away, so he restrained all his aura and spoke calmly.

The old man in the Golden Core state did not believe him and looked at a female cultivator beside him:

"Jianjia, I have felt this man's cultivation before. He is only at the seventh level of foundation building. You are at the sixth level, but you have outstanding talent. Go up one level and kill him."

"Yes, Master!"

The beautiful female cultivator named Jianjia responded in a crisp voice, then immediately drew her sword and rushed towards Chen An.

She is the future successor to the Black Wind Gang's Grand Elder.

However, many people in the gang disagreed with her.

And now, she wanted to put on a good show of killing opponents of higher levels to show her talent and make her fellow disciples around her convinced.

“Buzz!”

All I heard was a sonic boom.

The female cultivator's figure instantly turned into an afterimage, and she rushed towards Chen An at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, aiming directly at his head.

She wants to kill Chen An with one blow!

“Swish!”

The next moment, the sound of silky meat cutting was heard.

A head rolled down.

It fell heavily to the ground.

There was a dull "bang" sound.

The nun died.

The moment he rushed in front of Chen An, he was beheaded by Chen An's lightsaber.

The body was separated and life was lost on the spot.

At this moment, the entire forest fell into deathly silence.

All the members of the Black Wind Gang present were stunned after seeing this scene, their faces full of disbelief.
