After Murong Fu subdued Mai Shiranui, he ordered her to return to the mountains and forests, promising to summon her if needed.
"Senior Brother Murong, congratulations on finding another beloved."
Zeng Shushu walked over and winked.
“Junior Brother Zeng, you’re too kind. I just couldn’t bear to see Fire Phoenix suffer, so I helped her find relief,” Murong Fu said earnestly, waving his hand.
Faxiang also came closer and said earnestly, "Excellent! Benefactor Murong is truly benevolent!"
"I love it! I love it so much!"
Zeng Shushu echoed this sentiment.
Murong Fu glanced at Zeng Shushu and smiled, "Junior Brother Zeng, I am very grateful for the fire phoenix feathers you collected for me earlier."
"Phoenix feathers?"
Zeng Shushu was taken aback, and then took out the Fire Feather from his storage bag, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Murong Fu stretched out his hand and reminded him, "Junior Brother Zeng, there's still one short."
"..."
Zeng Shushu was about to cry, and took out a fire feather that she had secretly hidden.
Murong Fu said, "Junior Brother Zeng, you have been so selfless. When we return to the sect, I will report this to the sect leader and make sure to compensate you for your losses."
Zeng Shushu felt much better and managed to force a smile.
Not long after.
They continued on their way.
However, some people have given up.
Li Xun hesitated.
Continuing deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains would probably mean certain death!
The ancestors of Burning Incense Valley explored it and knew some of its details...
Li Xun approached Zeng Shushu and whispered, "Senior Brother Zeng, ten miles ahead lies the territory of the Rock Dragon Lizard. There might be danger there!"
Fearing that Zeng Shushu might not know the power of the Rock Dragon Lizard, he explained in detail: "The Rock Dragon Lizard is an earth-attribute mythical beast with the bloodline of a true dragon. It possesses immense strength and the ability to burrow underground."
Their strength is usually at least at the third rank! That's equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator! Extremely dangerous!
"Senior Brother Li Xun, you're not scared, are you?"
Zeng Shushu asked directly.
In an instant, many eyes turned to look.
"Who...who's afraid!" Li Xun lost face and his expression turned ugly.
Zeng Shushu raised his head and scanned the crowd, saying:
"Everyone, Senior Brother Li Xun just told me that ten miles ahead lies the territory of the Earth Dragon Lizard. If any of you are afraid, you can retreat with Senior Brother Li Xun."
"Senior Brother Li Xun is actually withdrawing?"
"How could the dignified senior disciple of Burning Incense Valley be so spineless?"
"You don't know, when the fire phoenix attacked earlier, I saw Senior Brother Li Xun trembling all over and almost fell down."
"..."
Hearing these mocking remarks, Li Xun's face flushed red.
"Who said I was quitting!"
Li Xun forced down his unease and calmly said, "I only told Senior Brother Zeng those things to remind everyone to be careful! I never had any intention of backing down!"
As he spoke,
He then flew at the forefront on his sword.
Zeng Shushu smiled slightly. "Now we have someone to scout the way. How wonderful!"
If Senior Brother Li Xun were to accidentally perish, Zeng Shushu would mourn for him.
Behind the crowd.
Zhou Yixian accidentally plucked a few whiskers and exclaimed in a daze, "Earth Dragon Lizard! That's a prehistoric beast!"
Murong Fu turned his head and asked, "Senior, do you know about the Earth Dragon Lizard?"
Zhou Yixian recounted the details with great familiarity, saying:
"The Earth Dragon Lizard is a hybrid of a true dragon and an earth lizard."
At the height of the dragon race's power, they were a powerful and influential clan.
Later, the dragon race declined, and the Earth Dragon Lizard became independent, hiding in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It has not appeared on the Divine Continent since then, for tens of thousands of years.
Murong Fu smiled faintly and said, "It is true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Senior is truly knowledgeable."
Zhou Yixian said with a touch of pride, "It's just that I've lived a long time and seen a lot, nothing to mention."
Murong Fu asked, "This junior is curious, how old are you, senior?"
Zhou Yixian gave an awkward smile and waved his hand, saying, "This... the age of a cultivator is a taboo subject, so please don't ask about it again."
At this moment.
Zhou Xiaohuan, nestled in Murong Fu's arms, spoke up: "I know. Grandpa has existed since the beginning of time. He was one of the first humans created by the Goddess Nuwa."
"What?"
Everyone around looked over in shock.
"Nonsense!"
Zhou Yixian was startled; how could such a thing be revealed to others!
Zhou Xiaohuan blinked and said, "But, didn't you tell me this, Grandpa?"
Upon hearing this...
Everyone was both amused and exasperated, realizing it must have been just some boast the old man had made casually in the past.
After all, besides fortune telling, Senior Zhou Yixian's greatest skill was boasting.
"Ahem!" Zhou Yixian said in a low voice, "Xiao Huan, you can't casually reveal what Grandpa said before!"
"Oh~"
Zhou Xiaohuan pouted and stopped talking.
"Xiao Huan is so cute."
Murong Fu smiled and kissed Zhou Xiaohuan's cheek.
Zhou Xiaohuan blushed and remained silent.
Zhou Yixian instantly lost the desire to speak.
That kid is so insulting!
"Senior Brother Murong~ I want to too~"
Yan Hong, who was standing next to her, also chimed in.
"Alright, I'm a kind-hearted person, so I'll grant your wish."
Murong Fu satisfied Yan Hong, making her blush.
Gradually.
The group entered the territory of the earth dragon lizard.
Buzzing—
The ground suddenly shook, and many trees and rocks fell to the side.
"Watch out, everyone! The earth dragon lizard is coming out!"
Li Xun shouted loudly.
