Chapter 298 A Little Clue

"Yuqiong Mountain?" Yudu circled in the water for a long time, as if thinking. "I haven't heard of it. Maybe it was named by someone."

Luo Xuanyi then asked, "What about the Yu clan ruins?"

Yudu's answer was still "no." Having failed to answer two questions in a row, he must have felt a little embarrassed. He took the initiative and said, "It could be that I'm just a low-level spirit beast from the periphery, and I only have a vague understanding of some things happening in the marginal areas. Sorry."

Luo Xuanyi was somewhat surprised that Yudu was only a low-level spirit beast. Although Yudu was vulnerable to the caller, Luo Xuanyi knew that if she faced Yudu, it would take a while before she could win.

Suddenly, Luo Xuanyi realized something.

"You said this is a marginal area? Do you know how far it is from Xuanchengzhou in the north?"

"Xuancheng Prefecture is six miles north of here. However, you must walk, otherwise you will not be able to leave Lady Inuaki's territory."

In other words, from Luo Xuanyi to the Zhongqu Mountains, it took a whole day to travel six miles, and even consumed a Wanli Pill.

Quan Xi is indeed a celestial beast, so Luo Xuanyi can only walk on the ground obediently.

The night wind blew gently, ruffling the tiny specks of starlight across the river. As if drawn to their conversation, some fish ferries slid closer to the shore, illuminating the area around Luo Xuanyi even more.

Seeing Luo Xuanyi remain silent, Yu Du pondered for a moment and said, "Besides the name Yuqiong Mountain, what else can you use as a reference? The Zhongqu Mountains are too vast. It's impossible to find the location just by the name created by humans."

"But if we had a simple map, we might be able to find Yuqiong Mountain."

Hearing this, Luo Xuanyi perked up: "What's the solution?"

"Do you know a spirit beast called the Wind Bird?"

It sounded familiar. Luo Xuanyi pondered the "Compendium of the Four Celestial Spirits" before pausing and answering, "It's said to be a hybrid descendant of the ancient mythical beast Chen Zhong, a high-ranking spirit beast. It can travel through the air at incredible speeds. Its feathers are pale blue with occasional white hues, and when fully grown, it's only the size of a palm."

Thinking of this, Luo Xuanyi realized that the "Compendium of the Four Directions Celestial Spirits" did not mention the spirit beast Yudu. However, the book did indeed record very few spirit beasts and demon beasts in the Zhongqu Mountains, and even among the three heavenly beasts, only the benevolent heavenly beast Jinguang was recorded.

It seems that even the unknown writer who has traveled thousands of miles has never completely walked through the Zhongqu Mountains.

Yu Du praised Luo Xuanyi's knowledge and added, "You're right, but the Wind Birds' abilities extend beyond that. They are a clan that has inherited the most powerful bloodline. Piercing the Sky is merely an ability they use to evade attacks when they're too lazy to fight."

"The true bloodline of the Wind Sparrow is called the Astrology Technique. I don't know how to use it specifically, but it's said that it can locate any person, object, or place. Anyone who angers the Wind Sparrow clan will have nowhere to hide and will be completely slaughtered."

Luo Xuanyi silently took note and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the Wind Birds were lazy about fighting? Why did the Wind Birds even want to slaughter their own race?"

Yudu gently shook his body from the water: "It wasn't the Wind Bird that slaughtered the race, but the Wind Bird's companion monster, the Visionary Cloud Whale."

"The Vision Cloud Whale is also a high-level spirit beast, but due to its species, it is extremely dependent on the Wind Sparrow. Once the Wind Sparrow is provoked, it will migrate as a whole. The Vision Cloud Whale cannot keep up with the Wind Sparrow's speed, so most of them are abandoned. Naturally, it becomes enraged and hunts down the culprit."

"But the Vision Cloud Whale is usually very kind, as long as you don't provoke the Wind Bird."

In other words, if Luo Xuanyi wanted Fengque to use astrology to find Yuqiong Mountain and the Yu family ruins, it would be best to use friendly means as much as possible, at least until she was sure that she could defeat the Strange Cloud Whale.

Luo Xuanyi glanced at the Caller, who had been happily squatting on the ground playing with pebbles since some point, and felt that he was indeed very useful. With the Caller as a tank and forward, Luo Xuanyi's safety was greatly increased.

"I don't know the exact location of the Wind Sparrow tribe. Although I don't know where they gather, I know a place where there is a high probability of encountering Wind Sparrows."

The fish ferry gently turned in the water, and Luo Xuanyi carefully discerned its head and tail. The ferry pointed southeast, "This is Quli Water in Heyao Mountain. From here, walk five hundred miles southeast. There's a mountain called Dongye, covered in jujube trees. It's very distinctive and instantly recognizable."

"Because Zhucang is a vine-like spiritual herb, dark purple in color, with moon-white spots all over its body. A mountain covered with Zhucang makes the mountain look like a round night covering the ground."

"The leaves of the jujube tree can be used for astrology. Windbirds love to eat jujube leaves, so if we wait on Jujube Mountain, we might be able to wait for the windbirds."

Luo Xuanyi could just close her eyes and imagine what Zhucang Mountain looked like from Yu Du's words. Such a unique landscape made for a perfect destination, but Luo Xuanyi wasn't prepared to trust Yu Du's family's words.

Yudu was too proactive. Many times, before Luo Xuanyi even asked a question, he would rush to speak and guide the conversation.

He clearly attacked the caller at the first sign of disagreement, but when he spoke, he was polite and very considerate of Luo Xuanyi, and even made very thorough arrangements.

Either Dongye Mountain was a trap set by Yudu, or Yudu was in a hurry to send them away so that they wouldn't notice anything.

Luo Xuanyi's eyes swept across the river water that was flowing again without leaving a trace. The originally scattered fish ferries had all gathered on the shore at some point. Millions of emerald stones surrounded the leading fish ferry, forming a shining half-moon fan.

The light in the river seemed to be attracted by the fan and gathered together, and the river water behind the fan fell into darkness, and even Luo Xuanyi could not see clearly.

Whether Dongye Mountain is real or fake, I'll have Longyue find some nearby spirit beasts and ask them later. As for the rest...

"Thank you, I finally have an idea." Luo Xuanyi smiled gratefully, then turned to look at the caller under her feet.

The caller had a pile of stones beside him, all of which the skinny dog had brought with him helplessly. He picked up one at random with his fingers, then squeezed it hard and the stone immediately turned into powder.

It seems the resentment is still quite strong. Luo Xuanyi squatted down to look at the caller at eye level. As soon as he saw her, the caller immediately put on a deliberate frown: "Are you leaving?"

"Well, this is almost done." Luo Xuanyi was not in a hurry to move on. Instead, she pointed to the pile of rocks with a smile, "Is this fun?"

"Well... not fun!" Huzhe tilted his head back to avoid Luo Xuanyi's smile, but sat down on the ground and simply got up. He was still angry and firmly refused to accept Yu Du's apology under Luo Xuanyi's temptation.

Who would have thought that Luo Xuanyi just smiled and took the tattered belt from the skinny dog's mouth, then stood up and waved to the caller: "Come here."

The caller walked up to Luo Xuanyi with a firm and unyielding spirit.

Seeing Luo Xuanyi reaching out her hand as if to tie the belt for herself, the caller suddenly jumped away in surprise.

"You, what are you doing?"

"What are you thinking about? Tie it yourself." Luo Xuanyi stepped forward and put the belt into Huzhe's hand, her tone softening again, "You've been wronged."

As soon as Luo Xuanyi said this, the caller felt a lump in his throat. He fastened his belt again and pleaded with Luo Xuanyi, "I'm not wrong."

"Yeah. You're right."

The caller felt more confident and the more he thought about it, the more justified he felt.

"That guy named Yudu is really bad! He's a bad boy! I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Yu Du was startled. He looked at Luo Xuanyi expectantly, only to see Luo Xuanyi nodding with a kind smile.

"Well, go ahead, don't hold back."
