Chapter 406 Asking the Immortal for Help
Listening to the villagers' descriptions and hearing the sound in person are two completely different things.
Li Chengxi was fine. He couldn't hear the sound. He could only see a series of noisy onomatopoeia bubbles appearing on the edge of the screen, but Yang Yiyi heard it very clearly.
To be precise, the sound was not simply loud, but more like a special power. Every time it sounded, it felt like it was right next to my ear.
Yang Yiyi was scared on the spot.
So people are really full of contradictions. They are quite happy when they agree, but they start to be scared when they get to the place...
"Use the bushes as cover and slowly approach. Don't walk too fast. I'll try my best to help you look around."
"Brother Li, do you know what the sound is?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen it."
Hearing that Li Chengxi hadn't seen it either, Yang Yiyi seemed to be even more scared...
But since she had agreed, Yang Yiyi prepared herself for almost a minute on the spot, and then slowly walked into the bushes as Li Chengxi said.
I don't know what kind of 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 in it and moves forward little by little.
From her perspective, the sound is becoming clearer and clearer, but at this time Yang Yiyi suddenly has a strange idea.
Although the sound is terrible, you can hear its wailing, not just a roar.
Li Chengxi can't see so many emotions, but you will find that the onomatopoeia bubbles on the edge of the screen move slowly from the edge to the center of the screen as Yang Yiyi moves, indicating that the distance to the sound source is getting closer and closer.
At this time, Yang Yiyi got out of the bushes and her eyes were clear.
In front of her is a circular area of about 40 to 50 square meters. There is no vegetation such as shrubs. The ground is composed of a layer of black and gray shale, with some green moss attached to it.
Looking forward, in the center of this circular area, you can see something that is definitely not an ordinary creature.
This thing is like a bird, but its wingspan is three or even four feet wide. The main body is red, with blue and orange feathers attached. There are wings on its back and abdomen, a total of eighteen wings.
The most eye-catching thing is that this creature has nine heads, and when it crawls on the ground, the heads are arranged in a fan shape.
Because the bushes in front of it suddenly lost their cover, Yang Yiyi had nowhere to hide. When she approached, the rustling sound of the bushes attracted the attention of the strange bird, and in an instant, the nine heads raised one after another.
Eight of them were arranged in a ring on both sides of the body. At first glance, it looked like a falcon, but the head in the middle was a woman, with a human upper body inserted on the bird's trunk.
The image of this woman was youthful and beautiful, with feathers as clothes, but her eyes were full of sorrow and glory, and her tears were like silver beads, falling down.
Originally, Yang Yiyi was still in a state of confusion when she saw that it was a strange bird. This time, when she saw the upper body of a person inserted on the bird's trunk, her eyes widened and 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 exceeded 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 a monster.
When the strange bird saw Yang Yiyi, a flash of surprise flashed in its eyes.
"But, but Yang Yiyi, Lady Hero Yang?"
"Ah?"
Yang Yiyi was at a loss for words after hearing this question.
When did I become so famous that even monsters have heard of me?
Yang Yiyi was about to answer, but 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 the jade gui.
When the strange bird saw the jade gui, its eyes were even more delighted.
"It is indeed Lady Hero Yang, accompanied by the Immortal Qingtian!"
There are not many people who can recognize the Immortal Qingtian as soon as they see the jade gui. Even when they met Liu Tianquan face to face last time, the other party only recognized the Qingtian Book and did not know the existence of Li Chengxi.
After a pause, Li Chengxi's voice came out from the jade sceptre:
"Are you from Taoyuan Valley?"
"I am not from Taoyuan Valley, but I passed by Taoyuan Valley not long ago and heard Old Man Eagle mention Lady Yang and Qingtian Immortal."
Good guy, it was Old Man Eagle who said it again.
Tianjue Palace Master Shen Qingluo knew that Li Chengxi existed because Old Man Eagle said it, so why did he say it everywhere...
"Eh, Brother Li, do you know it?"
"It's the first time I've seen it, but I do know it."
In the wilderness, there is a mountain called Beiji Cabinet. The sea water flows north. There is a god with nine heads, human faces and bird bodies, named Jiufeng.
In the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is still a divine bird, so it calls itself Little God, but Jiufeng actually has many names. In addition to Jiufeng, the more famous ones are Ghost Car.
This is because its cry is like a wheel rolling over stones, and it mostly travels in the middle of the night, so it is called Ghost Car.
It was originally a divine bird, a symbol of good fortune, but was later demonized after being labeled as a ghost car.
The reason is just like the nine-tailed fox, which was originally a lucky animal, but was gradually demonized later.
When Li Chengxi clicked on the detailed attributes, he saw that the name column was empty, and the race column was written as "Jiufeng", not a ghost car.
Seeing the incomplete Shanhaijing of Ran A Si, combined with the testimony of the villagers, Li Chengxi began to doubt, and when he saw it with his own eyes, it was indeed Jiufeng.
"Since you are a divine bird, why are you disturbing the people here?"
"Miss Yang, you don't know, it's not my will, but I was harmed by a traitor."
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 escape all the way east. On the way, he stopped in Taoyuan Valley. I lived there for a while. Xiao Shen originally thought that he would give up if he couldn't find Wu Zhu, 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 window that pops up, it says, 'The blood of the Nine Phoenixes can rejuvenate the earth and has the power of living dead human flesh and white bones. 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?
Just when he was thinking about all this mess, Jiufeng lowered his head and said:
"Little God, please ask the Immortal and Miss Yang to show mercy 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...
