"It also says that the divine beast Huodou looks like a black dog, feeds on fire, and its excrement is also fire." Li Ming looked at it with a smile.
What do you mean?
"Are you the mythical beast Huodou?"
No.
"You fit the description perfectly: you look like a dog, you like to eat fire, and even your feces are made of fire."
The black dog shook its head.
What a joke, how could it be a Huodou?
Li Ming looked at the black dog and chuckled. It seemed that the black dog had other stories it was unwilling to mention besides the forbidden area of the sacred mountain.
Turn your gaze away and slowly pass on the text.
"It has been confirmed that the broken stone tablets record monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Wu Xiao, who was strolling slowly under an oil-paper umbrella, saw the words, quietly walked away, and frowned, saying:
"The history here dates back millions of years. Could this be the place where the Classic of Mountains and Seas was created?"
"It's hard to say. The stone tablets here have no meaning at all. They just record various monsters and have no other information."
You can read the Classic of Mountains and Seas anywhere; there's no point in translating it.
Li Ming wanted to know why the Classic of Mountains and Seas was inscribed in ancient demon language, and what the relationship was between the stone tablet and the void vines. To unravel the mystery, he needed to know more information.
"How about I go into the wilderness and look for more useful information?" Wu Xiao said.
“I have the same thoughts as you…” Li Ming relayed to her.
"Hmm." Wu Xiao hummed in response, and was about to slip away quietly when the Left Prime Minister glanced at her, walked towards her, and asked, "Empress, where are you going?"
Wu Xiao said, "Shall I wander around a bit?"
The Left Chancellor asked, "I'll accompany you."
Wu Xiao shook his head and transmitted his voice to her, "No need, you keep an eye on them. I'll be back soon. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The Left Prime Minister asked, "Didn't you say that assassins from the Hundred Beasts Palace had followed us? Why haven't we seen any trace of them?"
“They are waiting for orders outside the barren mountains. Don’t worry, I’m fine. We can’t solve the problem here by sheer numbers.”
"Then be careful. I'll keep an eye on things from here. If there's any sign of trouble, remember to send a message."
"Um."
...
Wu Xiao quietly left and headed into the desolate mountains.
As they walked, they put away the oil-paper umbrella.
There's no need to pretend anymore, because it's just her.
This is a new secret realm discovered in the Great Martial God Dynasty.
The Great Martial Dynasty has a vast territory with many mountain ranges.
If someone hadn't unearthed the broken stone tablet, the desolate mountain range would never have been noticed.
As we walked...
Wu Xiao discovered that the ground was full of pits and hollows, as well as many burned void vines.
Those broken stones must have been dug out from here at a heavy price.
“Tell me if you find anything,” Wu Xiao said.
"Okay, be careful, I'll keep an eye on things for you."
"There's something wrong with this desolate mountain. The further we go in, the more eerie it feels. What secrets are buried here?"
"Watch out, a cloud of white mist is rushing towards you from the mountain ahead."
"I saw it."
When Li Ming gave him his hint, Wu Xiao noticed a slight vibration in the space.
His gaze sharpened; the white mist seemed to envelop something terrifying.
She didn't want to cause any trouble, so she simply walked to the side and let the white mist drift away.
However, even though he had already moved to the side, the white mist still rushed towards him.
It seems I'm really sorry, but I have no choice but to eliminate you.
She holds the belief that she will not offend others unless they offend her.
Since this thing was courting death, she had no choice but to send it on its way.
With a gentle flick of the finger, a wisp of spiritual energy formed a spider lily and flew out, gradually exploding into a blood-red color and dispersing all the white mist.
As the white mist dissipated, it became easy to see what was inside: a headless corpse.
The corpse was slowly dripping blood.
The terrifying images were shocking.
The white radish was so frightened that it jumped onto Li Ming's shoulder, not daring to look at him at all.
It had never experienced anything like this since it was born, and it clung to Li Ming's clothes, trembling.
Who are you?
Wu Xiao's face was cold and expressionless.
Having witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, she was already accustomed to killing, and naturally felt no fear upon seeing a headless corpse.
"Hehehe..."
The headless corpse didn't speak, but suddenly emitted a series of eerie, gurgling sounds, like someone laughing.
Immediately, endless black energy surged from the headless corpse, soaring into the sky and overwhelming the senses.
The air was thick with the stench of death.
Wu Xiao held his breath and concentrated.
The headless corpse charged straight at them, its target naturally being Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao remained expressionless. He formed a hand seal, unleashing a burst of spiritual power that instantly created a surge of crimson energy, spreading like a vast ocean.
The headless corpse couldn't withstand the impact of her spiritual power and instantly crumbled.
The headless corpse disappeared, and then a section of vine was seen inside. On the vine grew an eye, which gradually turned red, jumped up, and rushed towards Wu Xiao.
With a flick of his finger, Wu Xiao shattered the vines, and blood splattered in the air.
In a very short time, he was killed by Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao continued forward, completely unconcerned about having just killed that thing.
Soon, Wu Xiao encountered a ferocious bird that blotted out the sky. The bird's body shimmered with a golden luster, and its neck was covered with dragon scales.
"Dragonscale Eagle." The black dog recognized the large bird.
"Is there anything special about it?" Li Ming asked.
"The scales are hard."
The black dog only said three words.
The dragonscale eagle's physical characteristics include a layer of scales covering its body surface before feathers grow, making it appear as if it is wearing layers of thick armor.
