Chapter 556 Black Bamboo Valley
Zhu Yan poked his head and peeked into Huo Qinghuang's sleeves. He felt anxious and anxious, and wished he could catch the guy who betrayed him immediately.
However, the next moment, it felt a cold gaze falling on its head.
My life is in someone else's hands, so I have no choice but to bow my head.
Zhu Yan shrank his neck and withdrew his gaze, not daring to peek again.
"No problem."
Huo Qinghuang stroked her sleeves gently and said calmly: "If it dares to have second thoughts, the contract will teach it how to behave."
Zhu Yan's huge body shook unconsciously.
"but……"
Huo Qinghuang suddenly changed the subject, "Since you followed me, it would be too embarrassing for you to go out like this."
A little red light gathered at her fingertips and flicked it gently into Zhu Yan's brow.
Zhu Yan was startled at first, then his eyes widened.
It was actually a drop of Phoenix blood that contained the laws of the great Dao!
In an instant, all of its red hair stood up and the demonic power in its body surged wildly.
His cultivation, which had declined due to years of sealing, began to recover rapidly. The charred hair on his body fell off, and the newly grown red hair was as dazzling as a burning flame.
“This, this is…”
Zhu Yan looked at his brand new body in disbelief.
"Follow me, and I will not treat you unfairly."
Huo Qinghuang said calmly, "However, you are still too fierce."
She suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on Zhu Yan's head.
Before Zhu Yan could react, he felt all his demonic power being forcibly compressed.
The three-meter-tall body kept shrinking, and finally turned into a palm-sized red little monkey, squatting in Huo Qinghuang's palm.
"Master?"
Zhu Yan was horrified to find that his voice had become tinny.
"Well, it's still cuter this way."
Huo Qinghuang nodded in satisfaction and casually put it on his shoulder. "You are too conspicuous to be where we are going next."
Shi Ling rolled over with laughter on the side: "Hahaha, the notorious Zhu Yan has now become a little pet!"
“Hehehe, if those old guys saw this, they would die of laughter!”
The voice sounded again.
Shan Gao was swaying from side to side with laughter in Huo Qinghuang's sleeves.
If Huo Qinghuang hadn't ordered it to stay in its sleeve and not show its face, it would have rushed out to show off.
Thinking back to the beginning, it had only stolen, cough, borrowed two herbs from Zhu Yan, but it had been hunted down by him for half a month.
If it hadn't run fast, it would have died.
How are you now.
What a turn of events!
Although its body is still sealed, it is also free!
However, Zhu Yan became Huo Qinghuang's war pet and would be controlled by her from now on, with his life and death being controlled by others.
Comparing the two, how can Shan Gao not be proud?
How could Zhu Yan not feel the mockery coming towards him?
It was so angry that its teeth were bared, but because Huo Qinghuang was there, it didn't dare to do anything rash. It could only squat on her shoulder and sulk.
Huo Qinghuang glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. It's time to meet the next target."
"Are we going to Kunlun Ruins or Ailao Mountain?"
Shan Gao asked a little excitedly.
Let’s not talk about Kunlun Ruins for now. Ailao Mountain is the place where the great monsters are sealed. It is said that there are countless treasures in it. If you can take a look at it, you might be able to get a lot of benefits.
But Huo Qinghuang shook his head and said, "The seal of Ailao Mountain has just been reinforced. It is not appropriate to make things worse at this critical moment."
"Then let's go to Kunlun Ruins?"
"That was once the territory of the Three Pure Ones. We'll go there last."
Huo Qinghuang continued to shake his head.
"Where to go then?"
The interest in Shan Gao dropped precipitously.
To be honest, it has no interest in any place other than Ailao Mountain.
Because even if you get the treasure, it is rare and you won’t get a share of it.
But it is different in Ailao Mountain. There are thousands of big monsters. It can make a fortune by taking advantage of the situation.
"Heizhugou."
Huo Qinghuang's voice was calm, but it contained a hint of imperceptible interest.
Because before leaving, she had looked up information about Heizhu Valley.
Heizhu Valley is located in Leshan, Sichuan Province. It is known as the "Bermuda of the Dragon Kingdom". Compasses often malfunction due to abnormal magnetic fields. There are many historical records of missing persons there. The entrance is known as the "Gate of Hell".
In 2025, there were reports showing that within an area of 575 square kilometers, there were time anomalies such as watches slowing down.
This is interesting when it comes to the issue of time.
Compared with the magnetic field problem explained by scientists, she is more inclined to the law of time.
However, as far as she knew, the only one in this world who was proficient in the laws of time was the ancestor of time, Zhu Jiuyin.
But Zhu Jiuyin had already died, so why did the law of time reveal itself at this time?
These thoughts flashed through Huo Qinghuang's mind, and then she put them aside.
No matter how much you think about it, it’s better to see it with your own eyes.
…
The road to Shu is difficult, harder than climbing to the sky.
Huo Qinghuang stood in front of the stone tablet at the entrance of Heizhu Valley, and gently stroked the three mottled characters "Gate of Hell" on it with her fingertips.
The edge of the stone tablet is covered with moss, but the words are as clear as if they were newly carved, as if some power is preventing the erosion of time.
"This place is very gloomy."
Zhu Yan, shrunk to the size of a palm, squatted on her shoulder, his red hair slightly standing up.
As an ancient ferocious beast, it has an instinctive sense of danger.
Shan Gao sneered from his sleeves: "The great Zhu Yan is also afraid? Do you want to hide in your master's other sleeve?"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yan bared his teeth and stretched out his claws to pull Huo Qinghuang's sleeve.
Today it wants to see who dares to always go against it!
However, the next moment, its claws immediately retracted when Huo Qinghuang tilted his head to glance at it.
"It won't happen again."
Huo Qinghuang had a cold expression, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his tone.
Anyone who dared to lay a hand on her without her permission would have his grave razed to the ground.
That is to say, considering that Zhu Yan is still somewhat useful, we will spare it this time.
Zhu Yan only felt his soul tightening, and all the demonic power in his body stagnated, and he almost fell off Huo Qinghuang's shoulder.
It was so scared that it quickly hugged Huo Qinghuang's arm and rubbed it in a flattering manner.
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly, and she could hardly bear to look at it.
Is this well-behaved fellow who looks like a monkey baby, or is he the extremely ferocious beast Zhu Yan?
She shook her head and looked away, her eyes fixed on the distorted light at the entrance.
The time laws that are invisible to ordinary people form a vortex there, and one can vaguely sense the abnormality in the flow of time.
She raised her left hand, and twelve blood-red lines suddenly appeared on the jade bracelet on her wrist.
This is a timekeeping device she specially made, and each line represents one hour.
She paused slightly, stepped in, and the first line on the jade bracelet immediately began to fade slowly.
As soon as I crossed that invisible boundary, the temperature around me dropped sharply.
It was midsummer, but the breath we exhaled condensed into white frost in the air.
The branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees were motionless, as if the pause button had been pressed.
A layer of ice crystals formed on Zhu Yan's hair, and he was horrified to find that the speed of his demonic power had become abnormally slow.
