Chapter 345 The Latest News about the Nine-Headed Snake
This letter was specially sent by the old man. According to what the old man said in the letter, since Yang Tian was suddenly called away during the holiday, he has not been idle, but has gone to various families and sects to inquire about the news. The reason for writing this letter is that he got new clues about the Hydra from the visit to the Beast Gate.
According to the description in the letter, the Hundred Beasts Sect is a sect famous for taming beasts. There are countless rare and exotic beasts in the sect, as well as countless secrets about the beasts.
But the Hundred Beast Sect is located in the remote northwest, and is only a third-rate sect, so the Yang family has never had any dealings with it. This time, the Yang family was also in the process of collecting various exotic beasts, and the Yang family's spies accidentally learned about the strangeness of the Hundred Beast Sect, so they reported the news. Originally, the old man just wanted to go to the Hundred Beast Sect to relax.
But Xu Qingshan, the leader of the Hundred Beasts Sect, turned out to be a wonderful person. He actually used the entire sect's strength to entertain the old man warmly. The old man naturally wanted to get closer to him so that he could get more information. With such a two-way relationship, the two of them soon became close friends.
The performance of the great master Xu did not disappoint the old man. According to him, the Hydra was not only in myths and legends, but also appeared frequently in the world of cultivation in later generations. Unfortunately, every time it appeared, it was like a meteor, disappearing in the long river of history in an instant, and no sect dared to record a single word about the Hydra.
There are two main reasons why this happens:
One is that the Hydra has been a symbol of disaster throughout the dynasties. There is even a legend that has survived the years and has been passed down to this day: the Hydra is too powerful and mysterious. Once it appears, it will cause disasters year after year and change the color of the mountains and rivers. If the rulers do not capture or kill it immediately, the country will collapse and the dynasty will change.
Because of this, the attitude of the imperial courts of all dynasties towards the Hydra was to guard against it with all their might, and the rulers directly hired extraordinary people to search for the Hydra. At the same time, in order to prevent people from using it to cause chaos, the imperial courts of all dynasties did not allow any records about the Hydra to appear. This is one of the fundamental reasons why the Hydra disappeared from the long river of history.
The second is that the Hydra has a natural enemy, the Nine-headed Bird, also known as the Ghost Bird, which is a descendant of the Nine-Phoenix. Legend has it that the Nine-Phoenix is the natural enemy of the Hydra's ancestor Xiangliu, and the Nine-Phoenix is a being that can directly devour Xiangliu.
However, as the descendant of the Nine Phoenix, the Nine-headed Bird does not have such an obvious advantage in fighting against the Nine-headed Snake. If they really fight, the two sides can barely fight evenly, and the Nine-headed Bird has a slight advantage. But the Nine-headed Bird has a very terrifying skill, that is, they can easily find the traces of the Nine-headed Snake. No matter where the Nine-headed Snake is, it cannot escape the tracking of the Nine-headed Bird. This is also the fundamental reason why the Nine-headed Bird is still called the natural enemy of the Hydra despite its poor combat power...
Seeing these descriptions, Yang Tian was so happy that he almost jumped up. Let's not talk about whether he can beat them or not. Yang Tian's biggest problem now is that he can't find any trace of the opponent, okay?
But before he could be happy for a few seconds, the old man's next words made him feel depressed again: You know, the nine-headed bird is rare, and it has gradually withered over the years. Today, it is rare to see the nine-headed bird in the world of cultivation. And the Hundred Beasts Gate currently has only one nine-headed bird egg with congenital defects. Although it is still alive, according to the inference of Master Xu, it seems difficult to hatch.
Even so, seeing how much the old man cared, Master Xu gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and gave the nine-headed bird egg to the old man. At present, the bird egg has been escorted to the Yang family's residence in Hogsmeade Village by Mr. Xiao, who has taken over the protection mission...
Since Elder Li and Elder Xia protected Yang Tian and his family of three and returned home for vacation, only a few people were left to guard the Yang family's residence. Now Elder Xiao brought his old subordinates to take over, which can be regarded as a new vitality for the residence.
When Yang Tian arrived here through the secret passage, Old Xiao was still leading his men to familiarize themselves with the situation at the base, and Caiyu and Liangyu were also there to introduce the relevant situation to everyone.
"Xiaotian, you're here." Seeing Yang Tian show up, Old Xiao said with a kind face.
"Grandpa Xiao, did you really get the chance this time?" Yang Tian asked in surprise, "I thought Grandpa Li would win this time."
"Hmph, he dares! This time, it's useless for that old guy to be shameless! If he hadn't cheated, I should have been the one to go to Albania!" Old Xiao slammed the table angrily, his tone full of dissatisfaction. When talking about his old rival and old partner, Old Xiao became visibly irritable: "Two days ago, the old guy tried to cheat, saying that there was no war at the moment, and he would switch defense with me when there was a war. Humph, did he take me for a fool? I just fought him back." After saying that, Old Xiao seemed to be complacent as if he had let out a breath of anger.
"Grandpa Xiao, do you think there is a possibility that there really aren't many wars now after Sarok escaped?" Looking at the still ignorant Old Man Xiao, Yang Tian couldn't help but kindly reminded him: "Who knows, maybe Grandpa Li really wants to give himself a vacation this time."
Seeing that Mr. Xiao still looked incredulous, Yang Tian could only smile bitterly and continue to explain: "Sarlock is currently seriously injured and has retreated from Britain. We can't even find their trace. I think that even if they want to make a comeback, it will definitely not be possible in a short period of time. Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that the two of you will have switched defenses again in the next war..."
At this moment, Xiao Lao's energy and spirit seemed to be completely drained. At this moment, he could only mutter to himself in a low voice: "This bastard, he tricked me again..."
In the following time, Mr. Xiao also completely lost interest in chatting. He was seen gritting his teeth and being listless at times. The main point was that he was hit hard. Even with Caiyu and Liangyu making jokes and helping to make up for it, it was still difficult to hide the gradually dull atmosphere.
Finally, feeling overwhelmed, Mr. Xiao handed the nine-headed bird egg to Yang Tianhou, and returned to his room with a look of resentment on his face...
Looking at the back of Mr. Xiao leaving, Yang Tian couldn't help laughing. He knew that both Mr. Xiao and Mr. Li were militants, and they had been secretly competing with each other. This time, Mr. Xiao was clearly tricked by Mr. Li, so he would be angry!
Looking at Yang Tian's behavior, Caiyu poked his forehead with her finger in annoyance: "You are such a heartless person. Mr. Xiao wanted to help you wholeheartedly, but you still made fun of him like this."
Hearing this, Yang Tian was not ashamed at all. Instead, he laughed even more happily: "Hahaha, that's enough, Aunt Caiyu. When you comfort Mr. Xiao later, tell him that before he changes guard, I will make sure he has a fight to fight no matter what. Hahaha."
"You have a conscience!" Liang Yu suddenly interrupted...
He quietly put the nine-headed bird egg into the blood pool on the third floor of the suitcase, and after chatting with Caiyu and Liangyu for a while, Yang Tian also left quietly...
