"You guessed wrong. There are so many people. You can imagine that there is only one rare beast sect in the entire Divine Beast Continent. There are no branches. So this sect includes all the people in the entire continent who have rare beast bones.
Although only a small number of people possess precious animal bones, the total number of people on the entire continent is still a huge number, so it is more than enough to support a sect.
Just like you, didn't you come from afar to try your luck? "
Kong Qing also said with emotion: "Those who cultivate bones spend their entire lives striving for cultivation. Since they have bones, they are unwilling to be ordinary and want to find a glimmer of hope. This is also human nature."
Old man Ximen stretched out his hand, and the two men put the peeled melon seeds in his palm. Old man Ximen put them into his mouth one by one and ate them with relish.
He said to Kong Qing: "Brother, you are already quite old, but you are still not sober and are still pursuing these illusory things. There is really no end to it."
"I know that too! It's just that human life is too short. I'm already in my twilight years and don't want to be buried early. I still want to be with my grandson. I'm afraid that after I'm gone, he'll be the only one left in this world."
Old man Ximen said: "It's better not to go to the Rare Beast Sect. Their young people can still make trouble, but you are a skeleton, so don't take the risk."
The three people were completely confused by what Old Man Simon said.
Seeing their bewildered faces, the old man asked tentatively, "Do you know that the Rare Beast Sect is in Pixiu City?"
The three shook their heads.
"No wonder," Old Man Simon sighed.
"This brings us to the third unique feature: the unique geographical environment."
After eating the melon seeds, Old Man Ximen stood up under the expectant gazes of the three people, and looked at the distant scenery through the isolation shield. His expression instantly filled the atmosphere.
Then he opened the gourd, took a sip of wine, and ate a piece of fruit.
"Grandpa, please tell me quickly. I'm getting so anxious," Yuan Jun urged.
Only then did Old Man Simon sit down again and stretch out his hand.
“More melon seeds.”
At this time, three people were peeling melon seeds fiercely, and Cang Lin also joined in.
They were peeling the peeling seeds busily on one side, and talking at a leisurely pace on the other side. The three of them felt like they couldn't get any more oil to eat.
"The Rare Beast Sect is located in Pixiu City in the southern continent. This city is very special. It is surrounded by swamps on all sides, making it difficult to enter and exit the city.
The city is full of extravagance and decadence, and it is very prosperous. People who enter find it difficult to leave, and they don’t want to leave, so it is called Pixiu.
"Why is it so hard to get out? Is it because of this swamp?"
Yuan Jun put the few peeled melon seeds aside and took out a plate of pastries and placed it in front of old man Ximen.
The old man pinched a piece and took a small bite. He smacked his lips, nodded and praised: "It tastes good! You guessed it right."
“The name of this swamp is ‘Float but Not Float’, which means that if you want to float on this swamp, you can’t, otherwise you will be swallowed by the swamp.
"It's been a mystery for generations because as soon as something floats above you, a tornado of mud will come crashing down on you. It's so hard to escape after being sucked into the mud in a few seconds."
"What would happen if it got rolled into the mud?" Cang Lin handed over a cup of tea.
Old man Simon took it, took a sip, and curled his lips in disgust.
"What will happen? It's a near-death experience. There are many monsters in the mud, not to mention that those who are swept into the deep swamp will be suffocated to death or torn to pieces.
Therefore, it is difficult to cross the swamp. Flying monsters cannot be used, and one can only paddle along the mud like a boat, but this is also very dangerous.
Not to mention monster attacks, the only thing to worry about is birds or other flying objects flying over it. The tornado will chase the flying objects floating above, and if you are nearby, you will be dragged into it. And because walking on the mud is not flexible, you will be swept away if you are not careful."
After hearing this, the three of them fell silent. Cang Lin even wondered whether he should face such danger just for a shortcut.
At this time, with the accelerated speed of the magic-winged bat, it only took one day for the three of them to reach Qingzhou City, a city-state close to the swamp. Because it is adjacent to Pixiu City, it is also relatively prosperous.
After leaving the protective shield of the Demon Winged Bat, the three took in two bags of melon seeds and a bag of snacks. They said goodbye to Old Man Ximen and planned to stay here for one night, and then find a way to go to Pixiu City tomorrow.
The three of them found an inn and, in order to save money, they booked a triple room. After washing up, they decided to go out and find some local snacks and go shopping.
Just then, there was a sound of tables, chairs and benches overturning, and Cang Lin and others were attracted by the sound and came out to take a look.
I saw a lively girl in a goose yellow skirt jumping up and down in the hall, with a group of people chasing after her.
The girl had an outstanding appearance, with eyebrows like a crescent moon, eyes like autumn water, and the small mouth on her round face was open, gasping for breath.
She ran out of breath, and the three feathers on her head kept trembling, making her look extremely cute!
"Oh, Miss, please stop now. The clan leader said that the time has not come yet. When the time comes, we will find a blessing peacock for you. Don't mess around."
An old woman was chasing after the girl, panting. Perhaps she was tired and leaned against the table to catch her breath.
"Grandma, what are you talking about? I don't need a peacock. I'm a phoenix. Do you know what a phoenix is? I heard what you said the other day. I want to go to the Rare Beast Sect. I don't want to listen to you and be an ordinary person for the rest of my life."
The girl retorted stubbornly, keeping a safe distance from the group.
"Shh~ Miss, don't talk nonsense, or the patriarch will punish you. Who said you were an ordinary person? You grew feathers when you were baptized at the age of twelve. These are the bones of the king of birds."
As the old woman spoke, she quietly moved towards the girl.
