Chapter 406 Asking the Immortal for Help
Listening to the villagers' descriptions and hearing the sounds in person are completely different things.
Fortunately for Li Chengqi, he couldn't hear the sound and could only see a string of noisy onomatopoeia bubbles appearing at the edge of the screen, but Yang Yiyi heard it very clearly.
To be precise, the sound was not simply loud, but more like it had a special power. Every time it sounded, it felt like it was in my ears.
Yang Yiyi was frightened on the spot.
Therefore, human beings are really full of contradictions. They were very happy when they agreed, but when they got to the place, they started to be timid again...
"Use the bushes as cover and approach slowly. Don't go too fast. I'll try to help you look around."
"Brother Li, do you know what that sound is?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it."
After hearing that Li Chengqi had never been seen before, Yang Yiyi seemed even more timid...
But he agreed. Yang Yiyi made mental preparations for almost a minute, and then slowly walked into the bushes as Li Chengqi said.
I don’t know what species the shrubs here are. The leaves are green. Maybe because the temperature is relatively cold, there are no fruits on them, but the leaves are still there. Yang Yiyi hides inside and moves forward little by little.
From her perspective, the voice became clearer and clearer, but at this time Yang Yiyi suddenly had a strange idea.
Although the voice was terrifying, it could be heard as a scream rather than a simple roar.
Li Chengqi can't see so much emotion, but you will find that the onomatopoeia bubbles on the edge of the screen slowly move from the edge towards the center of the screen as Yang Yiyi moves, indicating that the sound source is getting closer and closer.
At this time, Yang Yiyi emerged from the bushes and her eyes were clear.
Ahead is a circular area of about forty to fifty square meters. There is no vegetation such as shrubs. The ground is composed of a layer of black-gray shale with some green moss attached to it.
Looking further ahead, in the center of this circular area, you can see something that is definitely an unusual creature.
This object is shaped like a bird, but its wingspan is three or even four feet wide. Its main body is red, with blue and orange feathers attached. It has wings on its back and abdomen, totaling eighteen wings.
The most eye-catching thing is that this creature has nine heads. When it is lying on the ground, its heads are arranged in a fan shape.
As the cover of the bushes suddenly disappeared in front of her, Yang Yiyi had nowhere to hide. The rustling of the bushes as she approached attracted the attention of the strange bird. In an instant, nine heads raised their heads.
Eight of them are arranged in a ring on both sides of the body. They look like falcons at first glance, but the head in the center is that of a woman, with a human upper body placed on the bird's torso.
The image of this woman is young and beautiful, she is dressed in feathers, but her eyes are full of sorrow and glory, and her tears are like silver beads, rustling down.
Originally seeing a strange bird, Yang Yiyi was still in a state of confusion. Now when she saw the bird's torso with a person's upper body, her eyes widened and she blurted out: "What kind of monster are you!" "
Generally speaking, monsters are actually ordinary animals and plants that have become spirits, but the image of this thing has gone beyond the scope of monsters.
Speaking of monsters, Yang Yiyi has seen them before, but she has never seen such a thing. Even monsters have to say that you are the monster.
When the strange bird saw Yang Yiyi, a look of surprise flashed in its eyes.
"B-but Yang Yiyi and the female hero Yang?"
"ah?"
This question made Yang Yiyi confused.
When did I become so famous that even monsters have been heard of?
Yang Yiyi was about to answer, but then she remembered the story she heard when she was a child, in which a child answered a stranger's question and was eaten by a monster disguised as a human, so she quickly took out Yugui.
When the strange bird saw Yu Gui, his eyes were even more delighted.
"Sure enough, it's Nuxia Yang, accompanied by Immortal Qingtian!" Not many people can recognize Yu Gui as Immortal Qingtian at the first glance. Even the last time he met Liu Tianquan face to face, the other party only recognized Qingtian Shu and said I don’t know about Li Chengqi’s existence.
After pondering for a while, Li Chengqi's voice came from Yugui:
"Are you from Taoyuan Valley?"
"The little god is not from Taoyuan Valley, but he passed by Taoyuan Valley not long ago and heard Dad Ying mention Yang Nuxia and Qingtian Immortal."
Good guy, that’s what Father Eagle said again.
The master of Tianjue Palace, Shen Qingluo, knew about Li Chengqi's existence because Father Ying had said it. Why did he say it everywhere...
"Brother Li, do you know it?"
“It’s the first time we’ve met, but we definitely know each other.”
In the wilderness, there is a mountain named Arctic Cabinet. The sea water flows to the north. There are nine gods with human faces and bird bodies, named Jiufeng.
It is still a divine bird in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so it calls itself a minor god. However, Jiu Feng actually has many names. The more famous ones include Jiu Feng and Gui Che.
This is because its cry is like wheels rolling over stones, and it mostly travels in the middle of the night, so it is called a ghost car.
At first it was a sacred bird, belonging to auspiciousness, but later it was called a ghost car and was gradually demonized.
The truth is just like the nine-tailed fox. Originally, the nine-tailed fox was also an auspicious beast, but it was gradually demonized later.
When Li Chengqi clicks on the detailed attributes, he will see that the name column is empty and the race column says "Jiu Feng" instead of "Ghost Car".
Seeing Ran Asi's seemingly incompletely recorded Book of Mountains and Seas, combined with the villagers' testimonies, Li Chengqi began to doubt. When he saw it with his own eyes, it turned out to be Jiufeng.
"Since you are a divine bird, why are you here disturbing the people?"
"Nvxia Yang didn't know something, not because the little god wanted it, but because she was harmed by an adulterer."
Jiufeng said: "The little god originally lived in Wutong Mountain in southern Xinjiang and was worshiped by people. However, there was a shaman who not only disrespected me, but even tried to capture me for blood. The little god was no match for him, so he had to go all the way east. I came to escape and stayed in Taoyuan Valley for a while. Xiao Shen originally thought that he would give up if he couldn't find me, but he didn't expect that he would find me just after leaving Taoyuan Valley and capture me when I fell."
"Who is your captor?"
"The little god doesn't know it. He only knows that it is a witch wish with extraordinary magic power."
Jiu Feng raised its wings. Originally there was nothing on it, but when it raised its wings, it saw a large dense red giant net covering Jiu Feng's body. When it lowered its wings, the giant net disappeared without a trace.
"The little god has been trapped here for more than a month. During this period, the shaman continued to use evil rituals to extract the blood of the little god. I am afraid that it won't be long before the little god's soul is gone."
It pointed to the left, and Yang Yiyi noticed that there was a well-sized pool on the left side of the circular space where Jiufeng was trapped, which was filled with red and black blood.
"Why do we need to draw your blood?"
"Replying to the immortal, the little god didn't know the inside story. He only heard Wu Zhu muttering something like, 'I'll save you, woman'."
Maybe it was to draw Jiufeng's blood to save people?
Li Chengqi moved the mouse and clicked on the blood pool to view the detailed attributes.
In the pop-up window, it says, 'The blood of the Nine Phoenixes can rejuvenate the earth and has the power to bring alive the flesh and white bones of the dead. However, this thing is very dangerous. If a mortal gets a little bit of it, it will harm him for the rest of his life.'
This probably means that Jiufeng's blood has a strong healing effect, but if you take a sip, it will be stained with a serious curse.
Why does it sound similar to the unicorn blood in Harry Potter?
While thinking about these messy things, Jiufeng lowered his head and said:
“Little God, please be kind to the Immortal and Miss Yang and save my life!”
Since he knows the monster in Taoyuan Valley, he should not be a bad person, and the word "Nine Phoenixes" instead of "Ghost Car" on the mission panel also shows that he is a magical bird.
You can help, but it’s hard to say how awesome Wu Zhu is...
