Mu Yuyue looked at him and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"It wasn't for no reason that I became the messenger of the capital city a month ago," Xiang Xun said.
"The original name of the messenger there was Xiang, but he happened to be on sick leave and went home. On the first day I arrived here, the commander of the outer city asked me to take this job. The people around me accepted it well, and it seemed that I was meant to be the messenger here."
"Although this is just what some of the older generation say, my ancestors did seem to be messengers in the capital, and were the first group of beastmasters in Da Yan to tame and contract red-feathered eagles."
Mu Shuyue was thoughtful. "You mean... you became the capital's messenger because of the historical connection between your ancestors?"
Xiang Xun nodded, "Hiruzuki, you were sent here by the Phoenix Tail Feathers, but in my case, it's more like I was swept by this layer of energy and thrown to a place in your era that has a connection with me."
"So I guess that Wen Li is in the same situation. She is likely in the witch priest clan of the Sun Phoenix in this era."
Mu Liuyue touched his chin and felt that Xiang Xun's analysis made some sense.
Now she didn’t know where she had traveled to the second time, but at least the situation of the witch priest clan was a clue worth exploring.
At this moment, the two were in an uninhabited deserted mountain. The temperature here was very high, and they could feel the rich fire energy contained in the rocks under their feet. Compared with ordinary areas, it was more like the stable terrain formed after the fire secret realm entered the fusion period.
Due to the high temperature of the land, there are very few plants on the mountain. Only some special and extraordinary plants called "Phoenix Tree" - golden leaf sycamore - can be seen.
Most of these golden leaf sycamore trees are still young seedlings, sparsely distributed on both sides of the mountain stream. The more Mu Chuyue looks at them, the more familiar they look to her. She has seen these golden leaf sycamore trees growing luxuriantly, forming a large "Phoenix Forest".
"Xiang Xun, do you think this place is like..."
"Phoenix Mountain six hundred years ago?" Xiang Xun's gaze fell on the branches and leaves of the golden-leafed sycamore trees, and he obviously thought of the same thing.
Mu Huiyue was about to answer when the shadow under her feet suddenly lengthened and turned into swirling black mist that blocked her side.
The next second, deep flames exploded out of nowhere and were completely blocked by the black fog.
A huge rhinoceros appeared in front of them, its entire body wrapped in chaotic aura. One could only barely identify it from the outline of its head. It was a high-level warrior race of the fire element, the [Phantom Flame Rhino].
It has lost its original existence characteristics and has been deeply polluted by the star evil.
Without the need for the beastmaster's orders, the Pai Ya soldiers in the shadows had already rushed towards the enemy, and Xiang Xun's flower-picking mantis also rushed towards the polluted beast that appeared on the other side.
The more deeply contaminated an individual is, the harder it is to detect its breath. The number of contaminated beasts has quietly increased without anyone noticing. The Pai Ya Soldiers and the Flower-Picking Mantis have defeated several approaching contaminated beasts in succession, but the overall number has not changed at all.
As the polluted monsters gathered in larger and larger numbers and were about to surround the two, a familiar voice was heard not far away.
"Ah Meow, use Meteor Shower!"
The figure of Flame Attack Cat leaped up, and a huge amount of fire energy gathered in the sky, turning into a burning meteorite rain, pouring down towards the group of polluted monsters.
A-level fire attack skill: Meteor shower!
This is the advanced skill of the B-level skill · Fire Meteor. One step higher is the core skill of the Vermillion Flame Bird, the S-level fire attack skill · Heavenly Fire Sacrifice.
All the polluted beasts were evaporated in this wave of attacks. Mu Huiyue was so surprised that she looked behind Yan Ximiao. It was Wen Li!
"Hiroyuki?! And President Xiang Xun!" Wen Li obviously didn't expect to meet these two people here. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she rushed over with a cry and gave Mu Hiiroyuki a big bear hug.
"It's really Hiiragi... I thought I would never see you again in my life, waa ...
Wen Li, who hadn't been seen for several days, didn't seem to have changed much, but Yan Xi Miao had grown a lot. Not only did he learn A-level skills across levels, the hidden energy around him also became more condensed, and he had already broken through from the growth stage to the mature stage.
Wen Li was wearing the traditional ritual robes of the witch priest clan, and her hair was combed into the style of six hundred years ago. There were many younger boys and girls around her, wearing the same ritual robes with flame patterns. They all stopped where they were, looking at Mu Liuyue and the other person who suddenly appeared with surprise and doubt.
Wen Li turned back and comforted them for a while. In front of these juniors, she seemed much more mature, and her words and actions showed the demeanor of a leader.
Mu Huoyue inexplicably had an idea that Wen Li might have stayed in this time and space longer than Xiang Xun had been the capital's messenger.
The three of them briefly exchanged their respective situations.
Wen Li's process of coming here was similar to Xiang Xun's. He was also sucked in by the suddenly expanding Star Swirl in the Phoenix Mountain sacrificial hall, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing here.
It is now the first year of Xia Yuan in the Great Yan Dynasty. King Jing Heng of Xia has just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Twenty-five years have passed since the time and space where Mu Chuyue and Xiang Xun were previously.
It has been a year since Wen Li came here.
As the heir of the witch priest clan, she possesses the highest bloodline of the beast-taming talent [Burning Blood]. She is deeply favored by this generation's great witch priest Wen Yu, who teaches her many methods to develop her talents.
A year later, Wen Li has become a formal witch priest who is capable of standing on his own, and now he even has the momentum to be the next generation successor to the great witch priest.
Talking about her experience here, Wen Li was also very emotional. When she first discovered that she had traveled back to the past, she also had a period of panic and anxiety, but since she was here now and couldn't find a way to go back in a short time, it would be a good opportunity to learn about some of the history of witch sacrifice in the past.
Hearing this, Mu Liuyue couldn't help but smile. She was worthy of being Wen Li. She could face the difficulties calmly under such circumstances. No wonder Wen Yu favored her.
Mu Huoyue learned from Wen Li what happened in the past twenty-five years.
The sudden arrival of an unknown high-level secret realm brought a large number of polluted exotic beasts. Wen Yu entered the world on behalf of the Shenhuang Wuji clan and met Jing Heng, who was still a teenager.
The beast chaos broke out in the second year after the arrival of the unknown secret realm, and then swept across the entire territory of Dayan, destroying countless capitals.
During the long confrontation and battle, everyone discovered that the pollution of the Star Evil could be purified by flames that carry the power of light rules, and took this as an opportunity to sound the clarion call for a counterattack.
Jing Heng led his troops to recapture the capital city of his hometown Yuzhou. Using this as a starting point, he launched a counterattack against the polluting monsters and gradually recaptured most of the territory in Kyushu.
The threat of polluting alien beasts could never be eradicated. After eliminating several rounds of large-scale beast chaos and stabilizing the situation in Dayan, Jing Heng began to try to trace the source of the pollution from the Star Evil in order to find a real way to eliminate the beast chaos.
The results of tracing the origin were fruitful. They even found the connection point of the "Outer Star Sea" and are preparing to carry out preliminary exploration of the secret realm.
Hearing this, Mu Liuyue frowned slightly, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.
Jing Heng once said that the "Outer Star Sea" that descended six hundred years ago was a secret realm of the Flash Period. The reason why Dayan was able to survive the beast disaster was not because they defeated the lord of the secret realm and eliminated the source of pollution, but because the "Outer Star Sea" disappeared on its own.
Only after this did Dayan begin its counterattack.
But according to Wen Li's narration, the current historical process is much smoother. Not only has the counterattack started ahead of time, but the tracing investigation has also been completed and the connection point for the arrival of the secret realm has been found.
Although how long the secret realm in the flash period will last is completely a matter of random probability, the phenomenon of the flash period lasting for twenty-five years is unheard of even in the data records of the Affairs Bureau six hundred years later.
When Wen Li came here, Jing Heng had unified Da Yan and began to explore the source of pollution in the unknown secret realm.
She followed the team of the Divine Phoenix Witch Priest and experienced countless battles against polluted monsters in a year, accumulating a wealth of combat experience.
Not only did the Beastmaster's level and talent for taming improve, but the two contracted pets also grew a lot, breaking through the maturity stage and mastering higher-level skills.
Wen Li came to Phoenix Mountain today in order to pass the trial of the Sun Phoenix and evolve Flame Attack Meow to become the first Phoenix Shaman in the history of the tribe who has not signed a contract with the Red Flame Bird.
This might be considered her greatest gain on this journey back in time. She witnessed the heyday of the witch priest clan with her own eyes, and saw what kind of demeanor a great witch priest who could truly fight alongside the Sun Phoenix was like.
And this great witch priest taught her what a true Divine Phoenix witch priest was.
She was not the beastmaster who had a contract with the Vermilion Flame Bird, nor was she the beautiful sacrifice who performed a dance of celebration for the Divine Phoenix.
The witch priest of the Sun Phoenix is ​​a powerful beastmaster who has inherited its bloodline power and uses the power of [Burning Blood] to control pet beasts and save people from danger.
The advanced [Burning Blood] can comprehend the Oracle of the Sun Phoenix from the Phoenix Fire, purify the pollution of the Star Evil, and greatly enhance the various abilities of fire-type pets.
Every Divine Phoenix Shaman may have a different understanding of fire, as long as this flame burns with a clear conscience.
Wen Li liked this powerful and open-minded ancestor very much. She wanted to become such a Divine Phoenix Priestess, together with Ah Miao, a companion who ignited the fire in her heart.
She will pass the trial of the Sun Phoenix and let Ancestor Wen Yu see what kind of miracles the [Burning Blood] from six hundred years later will bring.
After the conversation, Mu Liuyue and Xiang Xun also joined the team to witness Wen Li going to the trial.
The location of the Divine Phoenix Trial is inside Phoenix Mountain. There is an underground cave filled with magma, which is the reason for the high temperature on the ground of the entire mountain and the source of energy that gave birth to the golden-leafed phoenix tree.
When walking in here, Wen Li's heart was full of emotion.
She knew about this trial ground. Phoenix Mountain was no longer used after six hundred years, and only some terrible rumors remained. When she was a child, her mother would always scare her with the fire beasts in the trial ground when she refused to go to bed.
She never thought that one day she would actually walk in here in person and complete the trial of the ancient fire beast.
The temperature inside the cave is higher than outside, and if you get a little closer you will feel the suffocating heat.
The people watching the trial walked to another location, which was a high-temperature protection area specially set up for spectators.
Wen Li walked straight towards the trial area, with bright red flame patterns burning inch by inch on her body. The scorching heat seemed to be half tamed, and she allowed the human beastmaster to go deeper, not daring to burn her at all.
How would you feel if you actually stepped into the trial ground and faced the fire beast that was your childhood nightmare?
Nervous, scared, and anxious... but more importantly, I am excited about what is about to begin and determined to complete it.
"Let's go, A-Meow!" Wen Li smiled slightly and said to her most trusted partner.
"Meow!" She was answered by a high-pitched cry and a blazing flame at the tip of Flame Cat's tail.
