"But... having said that..." Situ Fengya looked around and still could only see Jiang Tianyin alone, "Tianyin, where are Xin'er, A Gui and the others? Didn't I say that the three of them came with you? Are you in the Xuanwu Kingdom? Why haven’t you seen them?”
"You said they..." Jiang Tianyin's expression immediately turned helpless when he heard Situ Fengya mention the three Sikong Gui, "They couldn't stand the dry and hot environment here, so they went to the Suzaku Kingdom."
"These guys! How could they leave you here alone!" Situ Fengya frowned, and immediately planned to take out the intercom and ask Sikong Gui for details, but was stopped by Jiang Tianyin.
"No, boss, I asked to stay." Jiang Tianyin took Situ Fengya's arm, shook his head, and said, "Although the environment here is extremely dry, it is very suitable for me to practice leveling. Place, from this time here, my mastery of the power of earth has been greatly improved, so that I can help the boss!"
"So that's it..." Situ Fengya nodded. He already felt a little strange. Although Sikong Gui seemed unreliable, he would definitely not leave his companions alone. However, Jiang Tianyin's words really surprised him. In the previous games, they all leveled together. If they had missions and couldn't play the game for several days, Jiang Tianyin would do something else first. , waiting for them to come back. From this point of view, while Situ Fengya is making progress, his partners are also making continuous progress. I think they will definitely give Situ Fengya a big surprise in the near future.
"By the way, boss, you just said that you are here to challenge Xuanwu? Do you already know the specific location of Xuanwu?" Jiang Tianyin changed the topic and returned to business.
"No." Situ Fengya shook his head and said helplessly, "We asked many people along the way, and the answers we got were that Xuanwu is in the central area of Wanling Desert, but when we further asked about Xuanwu's When it came to the specific location, no one could answer it. What? Tianyin, did you gain anything?"
"I am ashamed to say that I have been wandering in the central area of Wanling Desert for a week. Except for a few spiritual beasts that I dare not provoke, I have seen most of them, but unfortunately, I did not find Xuanwu Traces of it." Jiang Tianyin sighed, with a rare solemn look on his face.
"..." Situ Fengya stared at Jiang Tianyin for a long time and said, "Tianyin, you seem to have changed?"
"Huh? Is there any?" Jiang Tianyin was slightly startled, and his expression returned to his original honest look.
"Ha! This is a good thing. You are becoming more and more reliable now. Now, even without the help of me, the boss, you can still stand on your own." Situ Fengya patted Jiang Tianyin on the shoulder happily. Jiang Tianyin's identity determines that he is destined not to be a mediocre person, so Jiang Tianyin's current growth is something Situ Fengya is very willing to see, "But Tianyin, listening to your words, you seem to be here too Looking for Xuanwu? What is your purpose of looking for Xuanwu?"
"Well... just like the boss, I also want to try to challenge Xuanwu." Jiang Tianyin lowered his head in embarrassment. In his opinion, unless he could have the strength of Situ Fengya, he would only be able to challenge Xuanwu. He just died in vain, so he felt a little embarrassed when he told his true thoughts.
But what he didn't know was that even Situ Fengya was also worried about whether he could defeat Xuanwu.
Situ Fengya was really shocked. Based on his understanding of Jiang Tianyin, Jiang Tianyin had always kept aloof from the world and would not challenge some particularly difficult tasks, nor would he challenge some particularly powerful enemies alone. . But now, Jiang Tianyin not only chose to stay alone in Xuanwu Kingdom to practice leveling, but also made the decision to challenge Xuanwu alone, which made Situ Fengya worried.
"Tianyin, you should know very well that Xuanwu is the most powerful earth beast in Xuanling Continent. Even I don't have the confidence to defeat him. It is a good thing to be willing to challenge powerful enemies, but you have to eat one bite at a time, and the journey is long. Take one step at a time, and if you rush for success, you will harm yourself." Situ Fengya didn't know why Jiang Tianyin had such a big change, but no matter what, he would not just sit idly by and ignore Jiang Tianyin.
"I know...boss...but..." Jiang Tianyin lowered his head and gritted his teeth. He seemed to be having a very fierce struggle in his heart. "I just...I just want to have the power to protect you! What am I doing now?" I can't do it either! Ever since I met the Sand Spirit in the Yellow Sand Kingdom last time, I have hated myself more and more. I...I can't always rely on your protection, boss. I also want to be able to go with you. I want to be able to protect everyone when I venture into some dangerous places!”
"Tianyin!" Situ Fengya interrupted Jiang Tianyin and said, "We have always been a team. Whether you choose to continue on the original path or choose to take a new path, we will respect your choice. This You have nothing to do with whether you are helpful to us, because you are our friend. If you are willing to choose to grow for us, we will support you, and when you succeed, we will share your joy with you. But no matter what, Only by protecting yourself can you better protect others."
"Boss..." Jiang Tianyin looked at Situ Fengya blankly, then nodded heavily and said, "I remember, boss!"
"Well, come with us. I haven't fought with you for a long time. Let us see your growth." Situ Fengya patted Jiang Tianyin on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up.
"Well! I won't let you down!"
…………
…………
After Jiang Tianyin joined the team, Situ Fengya and his team's leveling speed once again made a qualitative leap. Originally, both Situ Fengya and Jiang Tianyin only dared to provoke 70 monsters, but now, with Situ Fengxue, With their treatment, coupled with the assistance of Situ Fengya Long Yudie and Sima Ningshuang, even level 80 spirit beasts could not pose any substantial threat to them. However, the purpose of several people continuing to move forward was not to level up, but to search for traces of Xuanwu.
"Ah! I don't want to continue fighting!" After an unknown amount of time, Mu yelled and sat down on the sand. However, because the sand was extremely hot from the sun, Mu immediately jumped up because of the heat. "Boss! I've really had enough of this hellish place! Let's get out of here quickly!"
Xiao and Mu are not players, they are creatures of this world, just like Shishi and Xiwan, but the only difference is that Xiwan and Shishi can return to the pet space to restore their physical strength when they are tired, while Xiao and Mu Strength can only be restored through rest and sleep. In the Qinglong Kingdom, they were on the road while practicing leveling. If they were tired, they could rest on the spot. However, in the Xuanwu Kingdom, resting on the spot was tantamount to torture.
"Just bear with it a little longer." Situ Fengya and others were also exhausted, but Xuanwu hadn't been found yet, so it was a pity that they went back like this. Situ Fengya and Jiang Tianyin teamed up to build a stone house so that everyone could rest temporarily. And he walked out of the stone house alone, staring at the long yellow sand in front of him and lost in thought.
"Everyone is very tired now. If we continue walking, we may not find traces of Xuanwu. Do we want to give up..."
After a while, Situ Fengya made his choice. He decided not to look for traces of Xuanwu, but planned to call Xuanwu directly. Maybe Xuanwu could hear his call and be willing to show up.
Just do it, Situ Fengya took a deep breath and shouted loudly into the air in front of him: "Holy God Xuanwu! Can you show up to see me!"
"Holy God Xuanwu! Can you show up to see me!"
"Holy God Xuanwu! Can you show up to see me!"
Situ Fengya shouted three times in a row. After three times, the yellow sand in front of him still did not change. In desperation, Situ Fengya had no choice but to give up searching for traces of Xuanwu for the time being.
"Is...is it my benefactor brother?"
Just when Situ Fengya turned around and was about to go back to the stone house and lead everyone away, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded in his ears. This made Situ Fengya immediately ecstatic, but when he came back to his senses, he realized what had happened. Something doesn't seem right.
Well...what the hell is my benefactor brother?
At this moment, the yellow sand in front of Situ Fengya suddenly began to sink and gradually turned into a huge sand vortex. The rising yellow sand made Situ Fengya have to close his eyes. When the yellow sand stopped whistling, Situ Fengya He noticed that on the originally empty yellow sand, stood a young man with earthy skin and golden hair. This young man was the Xuanwu that Situ Fengya was looking for.
"Who are you? Why does your voice sound exactly like that of your benefactor!" When Xuanwu discovered that Situ Fengya was not someone he knew, he immediately became vigilant.
"Holy God Xuanwu, I am Xia Jianya, an adventurer from another world." Situ Fengya did not act rashly. After experiencing so many things, he could probably guess what would happen next, so before Xuanwu could speak, he He took the initiative to take off the angel mask and said: "Holy God Xuanwu, the benefactor you just mentioned...is it senior Lingyan? That may disappoint you. Senior Lingyan passed away a hundred years ago. I just happen to look similar to Senior Lingyan."
"..." Xuanwu didn't say anything. He folded his hands on his chest and stared directly at Situ Fengya, as if he was judging the authenticity of what he said. After a moment, Xuanwu slowly said: "I already know your identity. Tell me, why did you call me to show up this time?"
"It's like this. I came here this time hoping to challenge the Holy God of Xuanwu. I hope that the Holy God of Xuanwu can give me this opportunity." Situ Fengya did not mince words and directly stated the purpose of coming this time.
"You want to challenge me?" Xuanwu raised his eyebrows, seeming to be a little surprised by Situ Fengya's request, "That's it?"
"Yes, that's all."
"Okay, I accept your challenge!"
"Thank you Xuanwu Sheng..."
"Well, no thanks, you win."
