The lonely moon is like a hook, hanging coldly in the sky.
The clear and condensed radiance fell, as if the Shiwan Mountains were coated with a layer of silver frost.
After Chi Yao left the Qilidong Altar, he held the witch staff and followed the faint call coming from it.
However, shortly after he left Qilidong, he suddenly stopped and said calmly: "Come out."
There was silence everywhere, except for the chirping of insects, no one responded.
Unfortunately, Chi Yao was not making false threats. He did not turn around. He just tilted the witch staff in his hand slightly. The red bone jade inlaid on the tip of the staff suddenly spurted out a stream of black fire and shot towards Somewhere behind the side.
boom!
The black flames were like bombs, directly breaking up an entire row of trees and forcing out the pursuers hiding behind them.
After the man avoided the attack in a panic, he looked at Chi Yao in shock: "Who are you? How can you use witchcraft?!"
"Witchcraft?"
Chi Yao fiddled with the witch staff in his hand, "It taught me. Who are you?"
This witch staff didn't seem to be an extraordinary object. He got a lot of information the moment he got it.
"My name is Lu Shun, and I am a direct descendant of Fenxiang Valley. I suspect that you have colluded with the aliens in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. You should die!"
The guy suddenly had a dark red fairy sword in his hand, and while he was hating him, he came over to kill him.
In fact, the relationship between Fenxiang Valley, Southern Xinjiang, and Shiwanda Mountain is closer than anyone imagined.
Their ancestral treasure, the Mysterious Fire Mirror, is related to an extremely dangerous secret in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
This secret happened so long ago that, except for the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, no one from the various sects in the Central Plains, including the Demon Sect, knew about it.
In ancient times, the witch clan was the most respected people in southern Xinjiang. They worshiped the witch god and had the witch empress as their leader.
But at some point, a monster named [Beast Monster] suddenly appeared out of the Shiwan Mountains. It has incredible strange powers. Under its magic, the originally lush forested mountains turned into barren mountains, clear and clear. The rivers are full of venom and the poisonous miasma is everywhere. The various animals in the forest were also transformed into monsters by his magic, and turned into various monsters such as bear-men, tiger-men, leopard-men, werewolves, fish-men, etc. They were ferocious and cannibalistic, and extremely terrifying.
The Witch Clan suffered huge losses for this, and finally sealed it in the Demon Suppressing Cave at the cost of the Witch Queen's life.
The key to suppressing the beast monster is the Eight Desolate Mysterious Fire Formation with the [Xuanhuo Jian] as the core. In addition, there are five sacred artifacts separated from the beast monsters, which are respectively controlled by the five major branches of the Wu clan, which are now the five major tribes in southern Xinjiang.
The bone jade and black staff in Chi Yao's hands now are two of them.
Fenxiang Valley uses the Xuanhuo Mirror as the foundation of its sect. Both the Xuanhuo Altar within the sect and the fundamental technique [Fengxiang Jade Book] are built with the Xuanhuo Mirror as the core. So they all knew very well about the beast monster.
As the saying goes, a good swimmer drowns.
Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
They held the Mysterious Fire Mirror and thought they controlled the beast's life gate, so they developed greed and neglect. After Yun Yilan, the Valley Master of this generation, discovered that there was a flaw in the sect's basic technique [Burning Incense Jade Book], he actually tried to seek skin from a tiger, and through transactions with beast monsters, he could complete the technique and increase his strength.
After all, Xuan Huo Jian is not a heavenly book. Its power is mainly in attacking. It is not its job to guide people to understand the cultivation techniques. But the strength of that beast monster is extremely strong. According to the records, it even exceeds the theoretical peak that Burning Incense Jade Book can reach. It is comparable to the Heavenly Demon Realm and Taiqing Realm - Yuyang Realm.
Even so, they still had some scruples in their hearts, so while trading with the beast monsters, they also sent people to monitor the Miao, Li, Gaoshan and other tribes who were in possession of the five sacred artifacts that were also related to the resurrection of the beast monsters, so as to prevent the saints from using them. The weapon fell aside, allowing the beast monster to truly escape from trouble and resurrect.
This Lu Shun was responsible for monitoring the Miao tribe.
So when he saw Chi Yao actually carrying two of the five sacred weapons deep into the Shiwan Mountain, he quickly sent a letter to the sect without caring about waiting for reinforcements, and chased after him alone.
"Incense Valley?"
Chi Yao raised his witch staff to block the slash of the opponent's fairy sword, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."
The bone jade at the tip of the witch staff flickered again, and a red light suddenly shot out, pointing directly at Lu Shun's eyebrows.
clang!
Lu Shun returned his sword to resist, but was pushed backwards by the tyrannical force.
The dark red sword fairy also buzzed and trembled, as if it was whining because it could not withstand such a strong impact.
"Boom~"
There was a crisp sound, and the fairy sword broke directly from it. Lu Shun had no time to dodge before the red light pierced his chest and fell to the ground on the spot.
Chi Yao flicked his sleeves and raised a handful of dust to bury him: "For the sake of reminding me, there is no need to expose the body to the wilderness."
After solving this little trouble, he accelerated his progress. Finally, just when the bone jade's flashing frequency reached its highest, a familiar aura rushed towards him.
"Ouch~"
Before Chi Yao could react, he was knocked down directly, and then a wet tongue began to lick his body wildly.
"It turns out to be you!"
Wandered by the long-lost friendly atmosphere, Chi Yao relaxed all over and lay on the ground to play with the little Pixiu for a while.
That's right, the call transmitted through the witch's staff came from the little Pixiu who had accompanied him through two worlds!
Unlike other Gu creatures, Little Pixiu did not stay with his body as Chi Yao had guessed before, but was released alone.
The environment of Shiwanda Mountain is considered the most suitable place for it to survive, otherwise it might be captured by others and used as a mount.
Perhaps this is the treatment of auspicious beasts recognized by the heaven!
Chi Yao, who was forced to separate his soul and body as soon as he arrived, almost fainted from crying.
We are all visitors from a foreign land, why should we treat them differently? !
After playing around for a while, Chi Yao climbed onto Pi Xiu's back and began to talk to it about business: "How did you become the god that the Miao people believe in?"
As a result, Pixiu looked confused and said that he didn't know. He just conquered many younger brothers in the mountains and forests and asked them to help find traces of Chi Yao.
"Could it be that this dog god worshiped by the Miao people... is actually a monster living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and was tamed by you?"
Chi Yao's mind was wide open.
Compared with the Nether Mother, the Heavenly Evil King, or even the Patriarch of the Three Purities, this explanation of Inugami's very down-to-earth belief does not seem to be too inconsistent.
"Take me to meet your little brothers!"
"Ouch!"
Hearing his words, little Pixiu was also very excited and immediately carried him and ran all the way.
"Ouch——"
A long roar resounded through the mountains and forests. After a while, the originally silent Shiwanda Mountain suddenly seemed to come alive.
…
…
Qinglong and Xuanwu soldiers went deep into Shiwanda Mountain in two groups.
With their strength, although it is not unobstructed, under normal circumstances, they do not need to worry too much.
But, just tonight.
Things took an unusual turn.
Qinglong pressed the magic weapon and landed on the top of a tall tree. He looked at the scene of dozens of ferocious beasts running wildly below, with a serious look on his face.
"Tide of beasts?"
He was a little worried, "If beast tides of this scale often occur in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, then choosing the sect's location will be more troublesome."
After thinking about it, he decided to follow up and take a look. If he could find the source of the beast tide, he might be able to solve the problem from the root.
On the other side, Xuanwu had almost the same idea.
So, when Pixiu was showing off and introducing his newly conquered brothers to Chi Yao, he accidentally spotted Qinglong and Xuanwu on the edge of the herd.
Compared to his surprise, Qinglong and Xuanwu were shocked.
It has only been a few days since the two of us came in to investigate, but the boss has already conquered a herd by himself?
They looked at each other and suddenly felt pressure rolling off their shoulders.
"Following such a powerful leader makes subordinates feel very unfulfilled!"
However, after the unexpected surprise of Pixiu, Chi Yao no longer planned to let Qinglong and the two explore the Shiwanda Mountain. How could the efficiency of the two of them compare to Pixiu and his younger brothers?
So, he directly called the two of them over.
"Qinglong, let's put aside the matter of exploring the Shiwanda Mountain for now. I have another very important task for you."
"Master, please speak."
"I got a piece of information,"
Chi Yao said, "The Xuanhuojian, the most precious treasure of Fenxiang Valley, is no longer in their hands."
"What?!"
Qinglong and Xuanwu were startled at first, and then they were both overjoyed.
Although after Chi Yao's comfort, they chose to believe that there was only one magic weapon like the Zhuxian Sword in the world, but deep down they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, for fear of an accident.
Now, no matter how strong your Xuan Huo Jian is, if it is gone, there will be no threat at all.
Knowing this news just before they were about to attack Fenxiang Valley was like a divine help!
"Haha, does this make you overjoyed?"
Chi Yao shook his head slightly, with an expression as if you have never seen the world before, "I not only know that they lost the Xuanhuojian, but I also know where that thing is now. You two go together this time, and you must bring it back!"
"Don't worry, Master!"
Qinglong was also excited. He actually imitated Baihu's movements and clapped his chest and promised, "No matter what we encounter, even if we die, we will definitely bring the things back!"
"Um."
Chi Yao nodded, then shook his head, "Actually, this matter is not as difficult as you think. Two hundred years ago, the fox demon clan attacked Fenxiang Valley, and at the cost of almost wiping out the entire clan, the Xuanhuo Jian snatched it out."
"The fox demon clan? So, with Hu Qishan..."
Qinglong was thoughtful.
"Yes, that attack was led by the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, the ancestor of Huqi Mountain."
Chi Yao continued, "Although they robbed the Xuanhuo Jian, the leader Nine-tailed Sky Fox was imprisoned in the Xuanhuo Altar in Fenxiang Valley. Well, let's not talk about that for now. The Xuanhuo Jian was finally captured by the Nine-tailed Sky Fox His son was taken away by a six-tailed demon fox. However, he was seriously injured at the time and has been barely surviving for the past two hundred years. Now they should be hiding in a volcanic cave called Black Rock Cave in the east of the vast land of China. .Relying on the earthly fire and heat there to counteract the poison of ice remaining in the body.
"But you should note that in addition to retrieving the Xuanhuojian during this trip, the six-tailed demon fox and other members of the fox demon clan if there are any nearby will also be brought back. When we rescue the nine-tailed celestial fox, These fox tribes are our bargaining chip to win her over."
"My subordinate understands!"
Qinglong nodded heavily.
"Yeah, there's more."
Chi Yao took out the blood-devouring bead and warned again, "I don't know how heavy the cold poison is on the six-tailed demon fox. If he can't hold on, this drop of blood can help him survive. We must bring him alive." return."
"yes!"
…
…
After sending away the two Qinglongs, Chi Yao shifted his focus to the younger brothers Pixiu had recruited.
These beasts subdued by Pixiu are all ordinary monsters, and there are no outright weird ones like the statue of the Dog God in the Qilidong Altar.
Since he couldn't find it, he simply asked directly.
"A monster with a very weird shape?"
Pixiu raised his paws and scratched the ground, and his cute big eyes rolled around, "I once saw a giant white-bone snake, but it didn't look easy to mess with, so I didn't take action rashly. I originally planned to wait for the younger brothers to come. I’ll go there after…”
"That's just right, I'll go and see it myself with you!"
Chi Yao laughed.
With Pixiu, the latest beast king, leading the way, they swept through the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains at a very fast speed.
The so-called sixty-three alien races were finally unveiled by him one by one.
Murlocs, snakes, bears, kobolds, werewolves, leopards, etc...
After the beast monsters were sealed, there was no one to lead them. The sixty-three alien races, which had been fostered by robbing the seedlings, suddenly lost order, fighting continued, and even more than a dozen ethnic groups died naturally.
Among the remaining alien tribes, there are about ten people who can enter Chi Yao's Eyes, whose strength is comparable to that of the Earth Demon Realm, and who are qualified to be called Demon Kings.
The white-bone snake demon that Pixiu remembered in his heart was among them, and it was unknown whether it had broken through the racial limit or for some other reason. It actually had three pairs of wings on its back.
It seems to be a bit like an ancient alien species.
No matter what, wherever one of them and one beast went, they encountered monsters and subdued them. No matter what kind of monsters they were, they all surrendered to Pixiu's sharp claws, making it their new leader. Beastmaster becomes more worthy of his name.
Well, if you ignore the Chi Yao and blood-devouring beads on its back. As for the magic weapons like Fulong Cauldron...
Catching them is also what Chi Yao meant.
Although these demonic beasts that have been enlightened may not be as good as the real wild beasts such as the black water black snake and the yellow bird, but as the saying goes, the three stooges are as good as Zhuge Liang.
If anything happens to the Four Spirits Blood Formation, they can all be on top.
After the sweep was completed, he rode Pixiu to the last place, which was also the only area where Pixiu did not dare to come alone before.
The place is surrounded by black air and howling wind all year round. The surrounding mountains are bare, without a single tree or blade of grass.
Inside the dark cave, which is three feet high and five feet wide, there is a dark wind whistling out of it all year round, mixed with sharp and abnormal sounds, as if some furious soul is roaring filial piety forever.
The Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave!
