Upon hearing Jiang Si's words, the enormous, dark, shiny Lingxi instantly transformed into a dog-legged snake. Its massive body trembled, turning into a small, thin snake that coiled along Jiang Si's fingers to her wrist, its tongue touching its tail, transforming into a large black bracelet.
Upon hearing that Lingxi, this vile snake, could transform into a dragon and become a human, Ling Hong, who was greedily absorbing Jiang Si's spiritual energy, volunteered without hesitation: "Master, Master, do you need any henchmen?"
Jiang Si was about to leave when she heard his question. She paused, stared at the naked body, and looked intently at Ling Hong, who was staring at her. She curled her lips and said, "What a waste!"
Ling Hong's eyes lit up, and she began to speak eloquently, recommending herself: "Master, you need a thug. Look at me! I have nearly 3,000 years of experience as a thug, and I have killed countless people, countless companion spirits, and countless trees."
"I'll strike with lightning speed and without hesitation. If my master points to a chicken, I'll never kill a dog. So, if your master needs a henchman, take me along. I guarantee it'll be well worth the price."
The energy that could turn that nasty, smelly snake into a human would also work on him. If he obtained that energy, he might be able to create a companion spirit.
If his companion spirit is spawned, who would care about other people's companion spirits? Ah Ying should get as far away as possible; he doesn't care at all!
Jiang Si looked at his impatient and worthless manner and deliberately sized him up from head to toe.
Ling Hong wanted to better showcase his strong physique, but he was suppressed by his mental energy, unable to move while standing in his tree pit, so he couldn't perform.
He couldn't show it in his actions, but he could talk a good game. He quacked like a duck: "Master, master, take me with you. You don't need to feed me or give me water. I'll be your top henchman."
"Don't worry, I will never betray you. I will fight according to your instructions. How about it? Take me with you."
Jiang Si's lips twitched, she tiptoed, and stretched out her hand.
Ling Hong thought she had relieved his mental suppression, and his eyes shone with an extraordinary brightness, comparable to the stars in the universe.
Unexpectedly, reality is always the opposite of imagination. Jiang Si reached out and slapped his face, making a loud slapping sound: "Little darling, I don't want to hear your little schemes throughout the entire Abel Galaxy. It's a pity you have no self-control."
"You want to fight with me? You want to be my henchman? You're a tree that's two or three thousand years old, a tree that was born with a rebellious streak and can kill its own kind. What makes you think I'll trust you? Your face?"
"Oh, I forgot, I stripped your bark off, so you have no face left. So stay here obediently and take good care of yourself. Remember, just because I didn't kill you today doesn't mean I won't kill you in the future."
"You better watch out, or I'll use you as fertilizer, chop you up, and burn you for firewood. Goodbye!"
As soon as Ling Hong saw her about to leave, all the threats and harsh words she had uttered vanished from his mind. He shouted, "Master, Master, Master, please believe me just this once!"
"Master, master, I'm absolutely a top-notch fighter! If you take me out to fight, you won't even have a chance to put up a fight, master, master!"
Jiang Si left the plant cabin amidst his shouts, self-recommendations, and self-promotion. She wore a red dress with wide sleeves and a long, flowing skirt that reached her chest, concealing her belly.
Agares was waiting for her outside the plant pod, but Jiang Si acted as if she didn't see him and walked past him toward the spaceship's hatch.
Agares followed behind her, two steps away, his gaze fixed intently on her, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Poor Uncle Dog, if only he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
These days, it's good enough to find a wife.
What's more, he found a wife who is incredibly, incredibly, incredibly awesome, but instead of cherishing her, he makes her angry.
The pursuit of his wife is a nightmare; he's even lost his shoes chasing her. What's the progress?
There's been absolutely no progress; it's a complete loss, with both the wife and the army gone, and even the two kids gone.
Two words: Serves them right.
Walking from the plant compartment to the hatch, the spaceship had already stopped at the fourth civilization's planetary space station.
The hatch opened, and Jiang Si took out a large sun hat, put it on her head, and put on sunglasses. She was about to step off the spaceship when Agares called out behind her, "Jiang Jiang..."
Jiang Si tilted her head, her eyes behind her sunglasses slanting: "Marshal Agares, you're too weak. Taking you along is too much trouble. Just guard the spaceship for me."
After she finished speaking, she stepped out and went down the ship's door. The space station of the Fourth Civilization was like a museum, exuding the smell of money.
Jiang, carrying a snake and an egg, emerged from the space station and boarded a spacecraft parked next to it. The pilot asked her, "Miss, where are you going?"
Jiang Si raised her head slightly, and the brim of her hat lifted to reveal her delicate chin and rosy lips: "To the Temple!"
"Alright!" The pilot of the aircraft said, "Miss, you're going on a pilgrimage, right? Let me tell you, pilgrimages are usually done in the morning to show sincerity and attract spiritual light."
Jiang Si sat in the back seat, leaned back, and touched the Spirit Stream Snake: "Oh, I'm not going to worship. I just did some calculations and found that the temple is ancient and will probably collapse today."
"I've come here to witness history, to witness the temple collapse and be shattered into pieces."
The pilot of the aircraft quickly said, "Miss, you can't say things like that. If you say it like that, you might offend the gods."
"If the great shaman uses his spiritual powers to punish you, you'll be in big trouble! Hurry up, spit on him! Ignorance is no excuse, ignorance is no excuse."
Jiang Si raised a slight eyebrow behind her sunglasses: "Alright, since you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. By the way, how can I meet all the elders of the Phoenix Clan?"
Eating a small phoenix isn't enough. Those old phoenixes, though they're quite old, still have some spiritual power, and might even possess a spiritual body.
Lingxi is a snake about to transform into a dragon and become a human. He just needs an opportunity, and these old fogies of the Phoenix Clan should be able to devour him.
“Oh my, Miss, you’ve come at the perfect time!” the aircraft pilot said casually. “You don’t know, our High Priest has recently been praying at the temple, and 18 elders have also gone to the temple to lend the High Priest a hand.”
"These days, those who go to the temple for pilgrimage in the mornings are lucky enough to see the elders, who then pat them on the head and bestow blessings!"
Jiang Si suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. Thank you for letting me know."
With 18 elders and one Jiufeng, that's 19 people. Lingxi should have enough to eat.
Jiang Si stopped talking, opened her personal computer and started browsing the online store. After picking up Shu Xubai and the others, she would return to the ancient Earth in the Milky Way. There were some things she still needed to buy.
Jiang Si sent a message to the artificial intelligence 520, instructing it to purchase the most advanced weapons from the arsenal. It was essential to ensure that every companion spirit on the ship, as well as every adult tree in the future, possessed modern weaponry.
The journey from the space station to the Phoenix Clan's temple took three hours. During those three hours, the driver talked at length, praising the Fourth Civilization for being far ahead of other countries in terms of military strength, geographical location, population, and technological level.
Jiang Si listened quietly to him, occasionally offering her opinion to entice the driver to continue, which resulted in her ears getting tired of hearing him for three hours.
The Phoenix Clan's temple was built on a mountain, and the sea was on the other side of the mountain. The driver dropped her off at the foot of the temple and then stopped the car.
Jiang Si asked, somewhat puzzled, "Aren't you going to take it upstairs for me?"
The aircraft pilot said, "There's no shortcut to the temple; we have to climb up!"
Ginger shreds: "!!!!"
That's outrageous.
By the time we climbed down the mountain, the daylilies were already cold.
Jiang Si paid the bill and disembarked from the aircraft.
At 4 p.m., as the sun began to set, the temple on the mountain appeared solemn, majestic, and sacred under the sunlight.
Jiang Si gestured the distance. It would take at least an hour to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top, step by step. It was extremely unethical to make a pregnant woman walk for an hour.
Jiang Si reached out and tapped the egg nestled in the crook of her neck: "In such a big mountain, aren't there any birds or beasts? Why don't you bring one over?"
Jiang Dandan: "???"
birds and beasts?
Doesn't Auntie have one on her own wrist?
That big black snake is almost as big as a human.
Riding on its back or sitting on its head, you'd be incredibly cool wherever you went.
With this, why would we need any birds or beasts?
Auntie really doesn't know how to manage money!
"Hurry up! I'm not picky, any lion, tiger, or leopard will do!" Jiang Si urged coolly, "Hurry up!"
Forced into action, Jiang Dandan becomes a pragmatic egg, radiating dragon's might and summoning the wild beasts of the mountains...
"The pressure, the pressure of the dragon!" The wounded elder, his eyes bloodshot and shining, shouted frantically at the few elders who were still alive, "He's back! He's back! No, he never left! He never left!"
"He sensed the anger of his mate, Jiufeng, and appeared. Quickly, quickly, go and call the entire Phoenix Clan to come here. We must capture him! We must capture him! As long as we capture him, we will gain immortality."
Even though Jiufeng was hidden by the black hole bat, he could still feel the dragon's pressure. However... this dragon's pressure had some connection with him, but it wasn't a deep connection, and it wasn't his partner.
It wasn't his partner, but their scents were somewhat similar. Could it be that they were born of the same mother?
As Jiufeng thought to herself, her reddened eyes swept across the ground. Several elders' corpses on the ground were shriveled like mummies, with not a trace of blood left after they had just died.
Their throats were bitten open by black hole-bats, and they fell to the ground, gradually turning into their current mummified state. The blood was gone, and there was not a trace left on the ground.
"Quickly, find him! Find him!" The few remaining elders, hearing one of the elders' words, all seemed to experience a final burst of energy before death, jolting awake as if they could still manage: "We must catch him! We absolutely must catch him! Immortality! Immortality..."
"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone! Longwei is gone!" An elder ran out, but before he could get out, Longwei was gone. He was as if he had been seriously injured: "It's gone, it's gone, he's disappeared again, and I can't feel him anymore."
An elder ran over and slapped the third elder who was speaking: "It doesn't matter that he's missing. He's in the Fourth Civilization right now, on this planet, near the temple. If he's missing, search for him. Search house to house. I don't believe we can't find him."
"If the chieftain can't sleep, then get his mate, get that dragon. I refuse to believe that with our piety and single-minded pursuit of immortality, Heaven will not be kind to us."
"Hahahaha!" Jiufeng suddenly laughed, her body shaking with laughter despite her disheveled appearance.
The First Elder, Third Elder, and Sixteenth Elder, who were about to run away, stopped in their tracks upon hearing his laughter. They turned around, and in hoarse voices, loudly questioned him, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiufeng looked at them in the distance, her smile suddenly stopping: "What am I laughing at? I'm laughing because what is owed must always be repaid. The Phoenix Clan, including myself, owes the Dragon Clan a life."
"You used your emotions to seduce people, making them deeply devoted to you, willing to live and die for you. You owe them lives and debts of gratitude. Sometimes, retribution isn't delayed, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. In the name of the Great Shaman of the Phoenix Clan, I tell you, you are doomed."
His mental power was suppressed. Logically speaking, without mental power, one cannot know the future. But just now, the actions and words of these elders made him see that the Phoenix Clan was doomed, and everyone in front of him would die.
An elder retorted, "Chieftain, even if we're doomed, we'll take you with us. We absolutely won't let you live alone. Don't worry, go..."
"It's here!" Jiufeng stared intently at the door. "You don't need to go. You wait here. It will come up. It will come up!"
The elders exchanged glances, their hearts skipping a beat: "He's here...it's your partner. He's come to save you?"
"He's not your partner. If he were, you wouldn't be like this now. Jiufeng, who is he? Who is he?"
"Chief, we are not afraid. All of us together are thousands of years old. We have seen all kinds of storms and waves. We will not be scared by you."
"He's here! Let him come! We guarantee he won't leave alive; he'll become our meal!"
"Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng, he is coming towards us, he is coming towards us."
Jiufeng looked at these madmen and a smile crept onto his lips. Immortality? No one can live forever. He had just seen the future of these people. They all had to die. They all had to die.
A large, mutated black leopard, over three meters long and over two meters tall, darted in front of Jiang Si and made a call that didn't match its body, but was very sweet.
Jiang Si reached out and tugged at the fur around its neck, then sat on the black panther. The panther instantly sprang up and rushed toward the temple.
Good morning to the temple! There were quite a few people there in the afternoon. A huge black leopard, three meters long (excluding its tail), carrying a girl in red clothes and a red hat, ran towards the temple, attracting many onlookers who exclaimed in amazement: "Am I seeing things? A leopard! A mutated leopard! It's carrying a person!"
"You're not seeing things, everyone saw it, the leopard went towards the temple."
"Go and take a look right away, go and take a look right away."
Someone shouted, and the others turned around and headed back towards the temple.
"You said we would die, that none of us could escape." An elder, as if possessed, rushed back, pulled out a radioactive machine gun, and pointed it at Jiufeng: "Clan Chief, you cursed us all to die, saying the Dragon Clan wouldn't let me go. Fine, I'll finish you off first!"
