"Iron-eating beast..."
"It is said that this beast was the mount of Jiuli Evil God in ancient times. It was full of ferocious flames and fought against gods and demons. It loved to kill big demons and mythical beasts and chew their bones alive for fun."
"When it is in its prime, giant evil spirits such as Taotie and Chaos in the same realm will also avoid its sharp edge. Pure-blooded true dragons and divine phoenixes will not dare to come near it."
"After the Jiuli tribes were suppressed by the Heavenly God Mountain, only the iron-eating beasts relied on their powerful bodies to survive, and they occasionally appeared in the southern region. They could chew gold and iron for food."
"Senior Shushan has seen it several times, so he recorded it in the "Shushan Ferocious Beast Chronicles" to remind the younger disciples to pay attention."
"..."
Wen Yulong talked freely in front of everyone.
"Hmm..." Lin Bei made a suspicious sound: "You said that the evil god rode this thing to fight in the first place?"
At this moment, the resident creatures of Qianyinjian Peak such as Emperor Nv Feng, Chu Liang, Jin Maoyan, Lie Longju, and Xiaoyu Sisters gathered here and were forming a circle. Lin Bei, Shang Ziliang and others also came after hearing the news. It's quite lively.
And in the middle of the circle, there was a "ferocious beast" sitting.
This iron-eating beast stands only half a person tall and sits only above the knees. It is completely black and white with two black eye circles, making its originally small eyes look much bigger. It was a round body of soft flesh, sitting there in a heap, with all four paws short and thick. It must have been a little uneasy at the moment, and the two front paws were nervously crossed on the belly, as if they were holding hands.
There was a small medicine basket on his back. It was empty, but it was not difficult to guess what it was for. Just now it detonated the talisman array and ran away in panic. The fur on its right half was still a little burnt. I don't know if it's because of its rough skin or thick flesh, but the powerful talisman array didn't seem to have done any harm to it. It only hurt a little bit of its fur, and it will probably grow back in a day or two.
"There should be no mistakes in the ancient books. Since the seniors said it was a ferocious beast, there must be their reasons." Shang Ziliang touched his chin and analyzed.
"It must be a disguise!" Follower A said firmly: "It looks like this deliberately, and then takes advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to show its cruel nature."
"That's right! Danger, extremely dangerous." Wen Yulong also responded.
"Um..." Liu Xiaoyu suddenly raised his hand and asked in a low voice, "Can I touch it?"
"Isn't this bad?" Lin Bei frowned and said, "They say it is a ferocious beast, so it must not be touched casually. If possible... I would like to touch it too."
"I think so too." Liu Xiaoyu nodded.
"I'll give it a try." Emperor Feng took the lead and stretched out her hand to rub the little fat thing's head, only to see a soft dent where her palm fell.
"Woo..."
The iron-eating beast whimpered in its throat, and raised its claws to protect its big head, but...
A bit short.
I don’t know whether it’s because of its big head or short hands, but its claws are just not enough to touch the middle of its head, and it can only hold the scalp on both sides of its ears weakly, with pitiful eyes.
"Oops..." Sister Liu Xiaoyu saw this and rushed forward. She reached out and stroked the iron-eating beast's fur. She felt warm and smooth, and it looked particularly easy to touch.
Everyone rushed forward, and even the golden retriever couldn't help but poke it with his nose.
This little guy was being held up and down by everyone. He seemed reluctant but did not dare to resist. He could only hold his head with both hands and close his eyes, as if he was letting his fate insult him. Just when everyone was enjoying the texture of the meat dumplings, they suddenly heard a grunting sound.
"Huh?" Everyone stopped when they heard the sound.
The little guy quickly covered his stomach with his hands and blinked with an embarrassed expression.
"It seems hungry?" Lin Bei said.
Follower B pondered: "Then what should I feed it?"
"According to legend, the bones of mythical beasts and exotic gold and iron?" Wen Yulong said, "It's not easy to find these either."
"Why don't you go find some bamboo and try it?" Chu Liang finally spoke up.
He has been silently sizing up this little guy since just now. After careful observation in all directions, he can definitely conclude.
This thing is a giant panda.
It's just that as an iron-eating beast in this world, he should have some supernatural powers, otherwise he wouldn't be able to still be alive and kicking after being blown up by that powerful talisman array.
Even though it looks cute and moves slowly now, it was just running like a whirlwind. And this little thing is definitely very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible to destroy the formation he set up on the outside.
"Bamboo?" Lin Bei wondered for a moment: "Isn't this looking down on the ferocious beast too much?"
But since Chu Liang said it, several people still went out to follow the instructions with doubts. Naturally, there is no shortage of bamboo in Shushan. There are spiritual bamboos with rich spiritual energy growing up and down the sea of clouds. After cutting three times, five divided by two, I cut a large bundle back.
To their surprise, when the Lingzhu was placed in front of them, the little guy grabbed it and started chewing it, seemingly very skillfully.
Click, click, click, it slowly started to eat the bamboo.
"It really eats this stuff." Lin Bei looked at Chu Liang in surprise, "How did you know?"
"You guessed it." Chu Liang smiled, "It should live not far from Shushan. It must have food on weekdays. The most suitable thing for it here is this kind of spiritual bamboo. It is probably about to break through the realm recently. , in great need of more spirituality, which cannot be satisfied by bamboo, so that’s why I came to Silver Sword Peak to steal spiritual plants.”
"Indeed." Wen Yulong felt that what he said made sense and nodded: "The area under the sea of clouds in Shushan is vast and there are many spiritual beasts. This iron-eating beast may live down there."
Shushan people only live on the top of the mountain above the sea of clouds. In fact, the part below the sea of clouds is even wider. It is a quite vast ecological circle.
Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai had fallen under the sea of clouds before, and accidentally bumped into Yan Renjie's forest hut.
"Then shall we drive it back?" Liu Xiaoyu turned his head and looked at Chu Liang eagerly.
"This still depends on its own opinion." Chu Liang leaned down and said, "Let me ask it."
As he spoke, he grabbed a piece of bamboo with his left hand and pulled out a gorgeous spiritual plant with his right hand.
The iron-eating beast's eyes suddenly straightened, and the spirit bamboo in his hand no longer smelled good. His eyes were fixed on the heavenly material and earthly treasure in Chu Liang's hand, and he forgot to continue chewing.
"Go back and eat this..." Chu Liang shook the bamboo and then the Lingzhi, "Or stay here and eat this?"
"Ugh..." The iron-eating beast obviously understood what he meant. Just as it was about to extend its short claws, it retracted again, seeming to hesitate slightly.
But with just one click, its short claws grabbed the spiritual plant from Chu Liang's hand with lightning speed, without the slowness at all.
It can be seen that although it does not want to stay here, the price is indeed difficult to refuse.
With a click, the iron-eating beast stuffed the spiritual plant into his mouth, swallowed it in three mouthfuls, and then burped with a milky sound and spiritual energy: "Hiccup -"
"This is your choice." Chu Liang smiled and touched its head, "Don't regret it."
…
"Then what name should we give it?" Liu Xiaoyu suddenly asked after seeing the little guy agreeing to sell himself.
"Look at it, it's all black and white..." Lin Beidao said, "Why don't we call it Huahua."
"What kind of strange idea are you having?" Shang Ziliang asked: "Let me tell you, it is round and round, so-called round and round... why not call it Feiyun?"
"Isn't your idea even weirder?!" everyone shouted.
Finally, it was Emperor Daughter Feng who spoke: "Our direct descendants at Yinjian Peak have always been of the Chu generation, and this little thing is no exception. Look at it as a little girl, it's cute, let's call it Chu Chu from now on."
"Master, you're up well." Chu Liang said immediately.
"Let's see if it can practice with me in the future..." Emperor Feng happily rubbed the iron-eating beast's head and said with a smile: "If it can, Chu Chu will be the senior sister of Silver Sword Peak from now on!"
"Huh...huh?" Chu Liang was about to laugh, but suddenly realized something was wrong, "What about me?"
"You are his second junior brother." Emperor Daughter Feng waved her hand.
Chu Liang: "..."
The potential great disciple of Silver Sword Peak, the iron-eating beast Chu Chu, was slowly gnawing on the spiritual bamboo there. The whole people of Silver Sword Peak gathered around to watch, and they didn’t know what kind of magic power it had. People would not get tired of watching it all day long. Similar.
It was Chu Liang who drove several people from Hongmian Peak back to work, and even he himself went to Hongmian Peak to work. But when they came back from work, they found that Lin Bei and the others were not only back, but also brought back more people. Everyone, including Xu Ziyang, Xu Ziqing, Ling Ao, and others they knew and didn't know, all came over to watch, and surrounded the open space there on three levels inside and three levels outside.
Even Wang Xuanling came over after hearing the news. When he saw Chu Liang outside, he said in a slightly serious tone: "I heard that you plan to raise iron-eating beasts at Yinjian Peak? It's nonsense. How can such a ferocious beast be scattered at will?" Raise? It must be carefully restrained."
"Uncle First Master, you can take a look first." Chu Liang pointed to the crowd over there.
With a suspicious look on his face, Wang Xuanling leaned over and took a glance. Then his gaze stayed for a long time, and the expression on his face gradually softened.
After a while, Chu Liang leaned over and asked, "Uncle First Master? Do you think it is fierce?"
"Hey." Wang Xuanling suddenly became happy, turned around and said to Chu Liang, "It's smiling at me."
After observing for a while, Lao Wang also dispelled his doubts. He could only say that there was still a certain gap between this thing and the legend. By the way, he also asked if there were more of them and if he could give Jade Sword Peak one to have one.
Chu Liang planned to wait for it to recover from its injuries and then go back to its previous residence with it to take a look. If there were other iron-eating beasts there, they could also take them back together.
When he went to Red Cotton Peak again and came back, he found that there were more people watching. It is estimated that half of the disciples in Shushan heard the news and came there, and gathered around to watch. Fortunately, the practitioners have such a thing as spiritual consciousness, otherwise so many people would not be able to see clearly.
Chu Liang also found a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Brother Du?" Chu Liang called out in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The tall, dark-faced man over there was clearly Du Wuhen.
"Young Master Chu!" Du Wuhen heard Chu Liang calling him, turned around and said, "I'm here to find you. My second brother asked me to inform you about a big event."
"What's the matter?" Chu Liang asked hurriedly.
The construction of the Civil Engineering Hall has only been started for a few days. If something happens to the Zhenshan Stone Mine at this time, it would be a bit nervous.
"Previously, Zhenxing Island was almost full of people, trying to take back the quarrying islands. When they landed on the island, they were indiscriminate and killed everyone on sight..." Du Wuhen recounted.
"Ah?" Chu Liang asked, "Is the loss big?"
"There is no loss." Du Wuhen shook his head and said: "They were all purified by the second brother..."
"Purification?"
After hearing what he said, Chu Liang realized that the bad news was that everyone on Zhenxing Island would be killed on sight. The good news was that the first person they saw was the Ancestor Mayfly.
The ancestor of Mayfly couldn't bear it anymore and finally took action.
But he did not kill him after all, but chose a more tactful approach.
He planted a mayfly for each person on Zhenxing Island to complete the manipulation. This is his unique secret method, and he can use mayflies to control large numbers of creatures.
The reason why Ancestor Mayfly is so feared by Wuchao is because of his magical power. Back then, Mayfly almost used this move to control all the sea tribes and became the God of the South China Sea.
To him, those people on Zhenxing Island were just a small scene.
…
Only when Chu Liang arrived at the Caishi Islands to take a look did he know what Du Wuhen meant by "purification".
The originally secluded island now has hundreds of people, and they are all practitioners of high level. But at this moment, they were all holding simple tools and going in and out of the mine dug by the Mountain Diamond Beast. Those who came out were all carrying heavy ores on their backs.
Okay.
Azu sent these people to mine.
Transformed by pure labor, it belongs to yes.
"Young Master Chu." Ancestor Mayfly bowed respectfully and then said: "These people are too murderous. I had no choice but to use such methods. I hope I can teach them a lesson and don't kill easily again in the future."
Chu Liang looked closely at these miners and realized that all of them had dull eyes and a look of lack of energy. He asked, "Are these people without intelligence?"
"Yes." The ancestor of the mayfly nodded and said: "I just planted a mayfly seed in their spiritual platform, suppressing their original spiritual consciousness. The mayfly seed will be a little sluggish at first, and will gradually become dull as it grows. When they become smart, they can also fuse part of their own memories. Of course, if I want to recover, I only need to withdraw the mayfly seeds."
Chu Liang was secretly shocked when he heard this.
No wonder Patriarch Wuchao wants to kill him so much. This magical power is too terrifying.
In this way, he can control countless creatures for a period of time and make them obey his thoughts. If there were no other eighth level experts to stop him, I can't imagine what he could achieve.
It wouldn't be a bad thing for these people from Zhenxing Island to mine here for a while, but after all, they have Penglai behind them. Once time goes by, Penglai Shangzong will definitely find something wrong, and it will still cause trouble.
After thinking about it, Chu Liang pointed to the conspicuous meat mountain and said, "Senior, please restore that person first."
Ancestor Mayfly waved gently, and the physical body named "Hongju Peak" slowly walked over. Ancestor Mayfly extended his index finger again, and with a hiss, a little red light flew out of Hong Jufeng's nostrils and returned to his sleeves.
"Ah!" Hong Jufeng was stunned for a moment, and then the light suddenly returned to his eyes. He took a step back and looked at the people in front of him in horror, "Chu Liang?"
"Yes, Young Master Hong." Chu Liang smiled and said: "Senior Mayfly was the one I invited to take charge of the Caishi Islands. He should have been in seclusion here quietly, but you insist on disturbing other people's cultivation..."
"I told you earlier that this was Shushan's territory, otherwise we wouldn't have come. It turned out to be a misunderstanding." Hong Jufeng said calmly: "Then you ask this senior to unlock the restrictions for our Zhenxing Island disciples and let us go back. Just pretend this never happened.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Liang and found that Chu Liang was still smiling and saying nothing.
Hong Jufeng's expression immediately collapsed, his knees softened, and he said in a tearful tone: "Isn't it okay if I beg you?"
He was really scared. Who would have thought that Chu Liang could easily leave an eighth-level expert here to watch the island? Who would dare to fight him?
Do you really want to stay mining here forever?
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he knelt down, the ancestor of Mayfly across from him also knelt down immediately: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
The old man knelt down, and naturally Chu Liang couldn't stay idle. He quickly knelt down and said repeatedly: "What are you doing? Let's get up quickly and talk about what we have to say."
Du Wuhen watched from a distance, and couldn't help but feel nervous. He thought to himself, is my second brother looking for a foster father for me again?
After a long while, Chu Liang pulled the two people to stand up.
He said to Hong Jufeng: "Young Master Hong, I have also heard about your father, and I express my deepest condolences. Although our relationship has not been very good in the past, I know that is not something you can decide. So I never blame you. This time you vented your anger on the Caishi Islands, which is really inappropriate. We should all be civilized and polite."
"Young Master Chu, I really know I was wrong. Please let us go." Hong Jufeng couldn't help crying.
The people here are so weird. Each one of them speaks more politely, their tone of voice is more polite, and each one of them is more capable of hitting.
In comparison, the Emperor's Phoenix is a bit simpler.
The kind that destroys the body and the kind that tortures the soul.
"If an apology is useful, why do you need Ancestor Mayfly?" Chu Liang said warmly.
"Even if you didn't cause any casualties, but... the flowers, plants, rocks and trees on this island were destroyed a lot, right? The birds and animals were frightened by this, and they suffered a lot of psychological trauma, right? The surrounding fish were all destroyed, right? You are so scared that you no longer produce roe...these losses are really incalculable..."
"Since you want to sincerely repent, I have a win-win settlement plan here, do you want to consider it?"
"What plan?" Seeing that he finally got to the point, Hong Jufeng asked with eyes shining.
Just listen to Chu Liang slowly spit out two words: "Acquisition."
good evening.
