Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Three-in-one·Players can’t eat...
Ning Yu took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped the air. Everyone immediately felt a powerful push coming from behind, pushing them forward involuntarily and falling off the cliff like dumplings.
Everyone: “Ahhhh!”
Ning Yu also jumped down and explained coldly amid the howling wind and screams.
"This dragon is called Mo Aotian. He is our sect's guardian beast. He has been carefully taught by the sect for many years. He is not one of those wild beasts that eats raw meat and blood, or devours human flesh. So you can rest assured."
Everyone was very pleased with this: "Ahhhh!"
"I'm dying, Senior Sister, help me!"
"Senior Sister, please spare my life!"
Just as they were about to land face first, they felt their bodies lighten again. A gust of cold snowstorm swept them around a corner and landed them on the shore of the lake.
When the screams stopped, everyone touched their intact bodies in a daze, and then a few of the timid ones sat down on the ground with their legs going limp.
Great, I'm saved. QAQ
At the same moment, the lake surface exploded with water again. A massive dragon head, covered in black scales, emerged from the water, sending a massive wave crashing down upon the people on shore. Huo Xin frowned and quickly reached for his knife.
On the other side, Ning Yu glanced and saw that the huge wave was instantly frozen into ice, and then shattered into pieces of ice with a "bang", like snowflakes falling on everyone's shoulders.
The black dragon snorted, bared its snow-white, cold fangs, and slowly approached Ning Yu, with a glaring provocation in its yellow vertical pupils.
"Guardian beast? Teach me carefully? How dare you say that? I've already told you, don't treat me like your mother."
"She likes humans and is willing to be a mount for that woman called the Grand Elder, but I don't want to. I am a Jiao destined to become a dragon.
Even if you imprison me for a thousand or ten thousand years, I will not surrender to you. The human race is only fit to be food in the mouths and on the plates of us dragons!"
Huo Xin silently tightened her grip on the knife handle, but she never took the next step. With her current strength, she probably couldn't even cut through the scales of the evil dragon in front of her, let alone save people.
Ning Yu looked coldly at the ferocious dragon head that was so close to him, and swung the long whip in his hand.
"You're mistaken again. Grand Elder is just a sect title, not a person's name. The Grand Elder's taboo is Shang Yu Xia Chen, so you can also call her Elder Yu Chen."
"You humans have so many names for each person, how can I remember which one is which?"
The black dragon retreated to avoid the whip shadow: "Anyway, if you want me to spit out that person, then let me go immediately, and give me a few top-grade magic weapons, 100,000 spirit stones, and a chef from Baiweitang."
“No!”
The black dragon sneered: "Not giving it to me? Fine, then you just wait for me to pull her out... Um, wait, that doesn't seem to be your voice."
Mo Aotian vaguely sensed that something seemed wrong, and the people on the shore looked at his abdomen in shock.
Ning Yu, who was about to continue his attack, paused and slowly lowered his gaze: "I didn't say anything just now."
The black dragon was astonished: "You didn't say anything, then who was the one who just spoke?"
Tan Xiaobai exclaimed: "Boss?!"
The next moment, a vague voice came from the black dragon's abdomen again: "I'm the one speaking. What? Are you dissatisfied?"
A trace of fluctuation finally flashed in Ning Yu's eyes. Although she was very sure that Mo Aotian would never eat people, she really didn't expect this situation to happen.
Unexpectedly, Mo Aotian was even more shocked than her.
"Impossible! I clearly used my spiritual sense to pierce your sea of consciousness. You should have fainted. How could you still be awake? Wait...what's that thing spinning above your head?"
*
Yun Miao relied on the fact that she couldn't die in the game and treated jumping off the cliff as a high-altitude disco. She opened her arms and felt the wet clouds and the strong wind hitting her face. The intense feeling of weightlessness made her heart pound.
But just as she watched the emerald green lake getting closer and closer to her, suddenly the lake surface exploded with waves, and a huge monster suddenly rushed out. She didn't even see what the monster looked like, and she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, as if she was sliding into some strange place like a slide.
Yun Miao: ???
Who turned off her light?
Before she could react to what was happening, she suddenly felt a heat between her eyebrows, and then vaguely felt something flying out from deep between her eyebrows. Green light fell on her, barely illuminating the surrounding flesh-colored inner walls.
She looked up and saw a small jade ball quietly floating above her head, shedding green light.
Curious, she raised her hand to grab the ball and examined it carefully. She found that although the ball was small, it felt heavy. However, what caught her attention most was its exquisite workmanship.
However, the egg-sized jade was hollowed out and carved into a multi-layered sphere like a Russian nesting doll. A closer look revealed that there were as many as nine layers, and the workmanship was very similar to the ivory balls she had seen in the museum.
Each layer of the sphere is carved with hollow auspicious cloud patterns. Along the hollow gaps, you can see from the outermost layer of the sphere to the smallest layer of the sphere inside the exquisite ball. The hollow gaps on it are as thin as a hair!
The gap between each layer of spheres is as thin as a cicada's wing. Fortunately, it only looks narrow, but in fact it is not more or less, just enough for each layer of spheres to rotate freely around the same center of the circle.
Just when Yun Miao was thinking about how to put away the innermost sphere, these nine layers of nested spheres suddenly began to rotate together, and the blooming green light became even more brilliant.
Looking inside along those ever-changing hollow gaps, one can vaguely see a circle of jade stairs connected end to end, quietly emerging in the deepest part of the exquisite ball.
[Heavenly Ladder]: A magical device used by the Xuantian Sect to select disciples. It contains a mysterious, immersive space and a heart-searching formation. Has already been recognized as a master.
Is this the Heavenly Ladder, the magical tool she had obtained earlier? So this is what the Heavenly Ladder actually looks like.
Yun Miao was looking at the magic weapon in her hand in amazement when she suddenly heard a sound coming from outside. She immediately put the ball back above her head and lay on the soft "wall" to listen carefully.
Just as she expected, the jade ball didn't fall down. Instead, it hovered automatically above her head, preventing it from falling no matter how she shook her head. The falling green light acted like a thin membrane, shielding her from everything outside, including the slime on the surrounding "walls" and "ground."
According to the conversation outside, Yun Miao quickly figured out the current situation. It turned out that she was swallowed by a dragon named Mo Aotian. Mo Aotian did not want to be imprisoned in Xuantian Sect, so he took her as a hostage to threaten Xuantian Sect to let him go.
Yun Miao said without thinking: "No!"
Suddenly there was a scream outside. Because Yun Miao was in Mo Aotian's abdomen, his voice sounded like thunder in her ears, while the voices of Ning Yu and others were vague and dull. She had to listen carefully to hear clearly.
After hearing Mo Aotian's thunderous doubt, Yun Miao deliberately spoke again: "I'm the one speaking, what's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"
As soon as she said this, she heard the commotion outside again, but this time she did not answer Mo Aotian's question, but spoke righteously.
"Senior Sister, please don't agree to him. I am the beloved disciple of the Xuantian Sect's leader, and I am the most powerful person in the entire Xuantian Sect. If I agree to his request today and live in disgrace, I will lose face in the future."
"Besides, Master has promised me that as long as I behave well, I will be the next Sect Leader. Then the entire Xuantian Sect will be mine, along with the sect's top-grade magic weapons, 100,000 spirit stones, and the chef at Baiwei Hall!"
"It's fine if this guy just ate me, but he actually wants to steal my girl. This is simply unforgivable! I'm going to stay here and see if he has the ability to pull me out! If he can't... hehe, then he'll be in trouble!"
The expressions of the people on the shore kept changing, and for a moment they didn't know what expression to use to face all this.
If someone else was so brazen and coveted the position of the sect leader and the sect's wealth, they would definitely sneer and ridicule him, calling him wishful thinking and daydreaming.
But Yun Miao... thinking about her previous unusual behavior, everyone silently chose to tolerate her, and they were full of admiration for her arrogance in daring to shout even after being devoured by the terrifying monster. How could someone be so brave?!
Tan Xiaobai clenched his fists, deeply encouraged. "Boss, you're worthy of being the boss. You'd rather die than surrender!"
Everyone understood instantly: ...
After using his spiritual sense to look inside his body, Mo Aotian understood the current situation and snorted in disdain when he heard it.
"You're just a mere Qi Refining ant, and you only managed to avoid being knocked unconscious by me thanks to the power of that unknown magic weapon. How dare you boast so brazenly? Fine, I want to see what else you've got!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles on his body began to tighten layer by layer, the skin undulated and squirmed, and the dense black scales kept rubbing against each other, making sounds.
Ning Yu's face turned cold, and he swung the long whip in his hand. The lake surface quickly froze and froze the black dragon's body. More than a dozen whip shadows were like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues, sealing his upper body exposed above the water.
"Mo Aotian, if you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I, the Law Enforcement Hall, will definitely pull out your dragon tendons!"
Mo Aotian let out a long roar towards the sky, and grabbed the long whip with the black claws under his belly.
"If you want to protect her, let me go immediately!"
At the same time, Yun Miao felt the small space she was in suddenly wriggle and tighten, squeezing the limited space she had to move in. In just two breaths, these soft flesh walls completely enveloped her.
The jade ball above her head immediately shone brightly, and more emerald light descended, forming an invisible barrier that protected her entire body. The flesh walls pressed against it, constantly contracting and wriggling, the friction producing a sound like glass being squeezed. But no matter how hard they squeezed, the thin barrier remained motionless.
However, Yun Miao's situation did not improve much. As the space around her was squeezed almost to nothing, she soon found it difficult to breathe. An indescribable feeling of suffocation blocked her mouth, nose and all her pores.
She immediately gritted her teeth, concentrated her energy, and tried to activate the ladder to attack the flesh wall in front of her, but three seconds passed and nothing happened.
Yun Miao was silent for a second, then raised his head and said decisively, "Um... my friend, fighting is one thing, but please give me some air."
Mo Aotian had already received several lashes from Ning Yu and was already furious. Upon hearing this, he immediately sneered, "Weren't you still stubborn just now? Now you're begging for mercy? It's too late!"
"I'm only giving you one choice. Beg them to agree to my request and let me go, and I'll let you go too. Otherwise, you'll be pushed deep into my stomach, where you'll be corroded into dust by the gastric juices!"
Yun Miao angrily shouted, "No! If I risk the dignity of the next leader of Xuantian Sect, I won't give you a single hair even if I die!"
Mo Aotian choked. "How can you be so stingy when you're dying? Fine, fine, then I don't want it. If you're really the old master's beloved disciple, as long as you give me the order, I will not only let you go immediately, but I'll also go to the lake and catch a few fish for you to taste."
Yun Miao thought for a second and refused again: "No, if you stay in Xuantian Sect, you will be the private property of Xuantian Sect. If you are rounded up, it will be my future property. If I let you go, wouldn't I be at a huge loss? By the way, all the fish in Li Lake are mine too."
Because the fighting was too intense, only Mo Aotian and Ning Yu heard Yun Miao's words.
Ning Yu felt something was wrong and immediately looked up at the black dragon's face. Sure enough, his face was extremely dark, his yellow vertical pupils were burning with anger, and his attacks became more and more fierce and brutal.
"I, Mo Aotian, am no one's private property! Damn humans, disgusting humans, all of you, die, die, die!"
As soon as Mo Aotian finished speaking, Yun Miao clearly felt the flesh walls around her tightening even more, and deliberately pushing her deeper into the darkness.
The stomach of a snake is very long, and I think the stomach of a dragon is also very long, so Yun Miao has not seen the corrosive gastric juice he mentioned yet.
Instead, the suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe was becoming increasingly severe. She felt that she would suffocate to death before the gastric juices could corrode her into dregs. Although she was not afraid of death, she always felt that dying like this would be too depressing.
So she hardened her heart and took off the small bag that had been hanging on her shoulder.
"Okay, okay, you forced me to do this, don't regret it!"
*
Meanwhile, Ning Yu was infuriated by her fearless junior sister's audacity. But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't stand by and watch her new junior sister turn into a pile of dragon feces. She summoned all her magical power to once again confront the enraged black dragon.
At the same time, his other hand held the disciple token at his waist, ready to use the token to send a message to his master for help.
However, just as Ning Yu was using her spiritual sense to input the message for help into the disciple order and was about to send it out, she saw the black dragon in front of her suddenly stiffen and took a beating from her whip.
Then, the black dragon seemed to have suffered a severe blow. Its massive body, several dozen feet long, thrashed painfully in the lake for a few times before crashing headfirst into the shore. It opened its mouth and began to retch non-stop: "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
Bang!
Everyone watched helplessly as the black dragon, which had suddenly fallen ill, vomited out a pool of mucus mixed with blood and a girl in green clothes.
I saw a jade bead floating above her head, and her whole body was protected by green light. Not only was she unharmed, but her clothes were not stained with a speck of dust. Even the small tattered bag was still firmly carried on her shoulders, without any signs of loss or damage.
She looked so contented, as if she had not just been in the black dragon's belly, but had returned happily from an outing in the suburbs.
Huo Xin and the others, originally still worried and anxious, looked at Yun Miao, who had returned with her bag, and then at the black dragon lying on the shore, vomiting violently. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. After all, no matter how they looked at it, the black dragon was the one who needed comfort more now.
Huo Xin stepped forward silently and pulled Yun Miao away from the black dragon's head and back into the crowd.
Tan Xiaobai bowed to Ning Yu and thanked him, his little fangs flashing in the sunlight.
"Senior sister is awesome, thank you so much for saving my boss!"
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, many people immediately began to flatter the emperor passionately.
"Not me."
Ning Yu cancelled the message she was about to send and looked at Yun Miao suspiciously: "What did you do to him?"
Yun Miao glanced at the prompt box above the black dragon's head [Realm: ??? HP bar: ???] and brushed the dust off his shoulders with a calm expression.
"It's nothing, just a little poison."
As the saying goes, no matter how cruel the evil dragon is, its mucous membrane is still fragile. Since ancient times, toxins have been an essential magic weapon for the weak to defeat the strong, and she just happened to have a [Ghost Back Spider Poison Sac] on hand.
So with the right time, right place and right people, the poison of the Qi Refining Stage Ghost Back Spider caused more horrible damage than she expected, and successfully brought down the powerful black dragon. And this... is the player's wisdom!
Ning Yu glanced sideways at the foaming black dragon, then nodded slightly: "Well done. Keep up the good work next time."
Yun Miao smiled brightly: "Okay, I will follow Senior Sister's instructions!"
Tan Xiaobai clapped his hands like a younger brother: "Boss, you are awesome!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise: "What? She actually solved it herself..."
"No wonder she was so calm in the black dragon's belly just now. It turns out she had already thought of a solution!"
"So you can poison me? I'll remember this. Next time I'll definitely carry a bottle of poison with me. If anyone dares to eat me, I'll poison him to death!"
"You and I don't have any magic weapons to protect us. If we poison someone randomly, what if we get poisoned too? It's better to bring croton powder. Even the most powerful monsters are vulnerable when they have diarrhea."
"What if croton powder doesn't work on monsters?"
"That's easy. I know a magical herb called Five-Leaf Croton, which is a hundred times more effective than Croton. Its status in the world of cultivation is exactly the same as that of Croton powder in the mortal world. It's highly toxic, but the effects are immediate."
"Great! Five-leaf mulberry, right? I'll remember that!"
Mo Aotian, who was in unbearable pain in his abdomen, cursed weakly: "Ugh...you humans...Ugh...despicable...shameless..."
Yun Miao shrugged. "How can this be called despicable? I was clearly teaching you out of kindness not to pick up random things to eat, so as to avoid food poisoning."
Haha, even players dare to eat it, your stomach must be perforated now, right? It hurts so much that you idiot!
Huo Xin glanced at her and chose to remain silent.
Ning Yu placed her hand on the disciple token at her waist, and the token flashed with light.
"Mo Aotian blatantly violated the sect's rules by attacking a new disciple, and even defied me when I tried to stop him. He deserves an even greater punishment for his crimes. I've already sent a message to the Law Enforcement Hall, and other disciples will be there to drag him in to face punishment."
Yun Miao looked at Ning Yu expectantly: "Senior Sister, I defeated him, shouldn't I get some reward?"
Although the player did not kill the monster, he still wanted the reward.
Ning Yu: "What reward do you want?"
Yun Miao's eyes lit up: "Ten top-grade magic weapons, one million high-grade spirit stones, and five chefs from Baiweitang."
Ning Yu: "...Baiweitang only has three chefs in total."
This little junior sister is not very tall, but her tone is even louder than that black dragon.
She pointed speechlessly at the still vomiting black dragon and said, "It's impossible for him to have top-grade magic weapons, high-grade spirit stones, and a master chef. Here, if you have the guts, just capture him and sell him."
"Ever since the ancient times when the dragons fled into the demon world with a group of demons, there has been no trace of dragons here. Nowadays, any aquatic creature with even a hint of dragon blood is worth a lot of money. Although Mo Aotian is not a real dragon, to put it nicely, he is a four-clawed dragon. If you sell him, you will definitely make a lot of money. By the way, remember not to sell him separately; it is more valuable if you sell him separately."
Yun Miao immediately looked at every part of the black dragon's body.
Mo Aotian's body stiffened and his eyes widened when he was looked at by her.
"Ugh...don't go too far...Ugh...Ning Yu, you are a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, you can't...Ugh, knowingly breaking the law!"
Ning Yu stared back coldly: "You were clamoring to leave Xuantian Sect before, but now you know how to use Xuantian Sect's rules to protect yourself?"
"Heh, you're at the Golden Core stage, but you can't even handle a Qi Refining stage, and yet you're still stirring up trouble in the sect all day long. You're clamoring to leave, but a fool like you will only end up being skinned, tendons pulled out, and bones and flesh chopped off if you leave."
Mo Aotian's eyes were red, and his two front paws struggled to support his huge upper body: "You are talking nonsense!"
Ning Yu: "You know whether it's nonsense or not. Mo Aotian, don't forget two hundred years ago..."
"Shut up!"
Mo Aotian's pupils constricted, the black scales on his body stood up, and his aura was even stronger than when he had just fought with Ning Yu.
A massive whirlpool appeared on the calm lake surface, and dark clouds appeared in the sky. A powerful pressure instantly spread.
Although it wasn't as powerful as the Sect Master's imposing presence, it instantly gave everyone the same dreadful feeling as if a top predator were staring at their throats. It felt as if their throats would be bitten off and their heads and bodies torn apart in the next second!
A large area of frost suddenly formed on the ground in front of Ning Yu, and a chilling pressure like ice and snow pressed down on the black dragon. The two invisible pressures, both at the Jindan stage, collided, neither overpowering the other, giving the people behind Ning Yu a chance to breathe.
Tan Xiaobai timidly approached Yun Miao and said, "What a powerful aura! Could it be that this black dragon was hiding its strength just now?"
Huo Xin's eyes were filled with ambition and yearning: "Yun Conglong, Feng Conghu, he is only in the Jindan stage, yet he can cause a small-scale phenomenon in the heaven and earth. Either the dragon blood in his body accounts for a large part, or he has already comprehended the method to stimulate the dragon blood in his body."
The black dragon bared its snow-white sharp teeth at Ning Yu again and spoke viciously.
"I'll die if I want to. You humans are all the same. I don't want you to care about me even if I die! I'm a dragon, not a dog! I'll never learn to live under someone else's roof! I'd rather die than be without freedom!"
As soon as this decisive oath was made, the shore fell into deathly silence.
Ning Yu's coldness faded a little, and his eyes were speechless. "...We are birds of a feather. We'd rather die than live without freedom. Why are you pretending to be unyielding when you can't even read? Don't let someone trick you into signing a contract to sell yourself, and then you'll be smiling and helping count the money."
Yun Miao hit the nail on the head: "So he's an illiterate dragon."
Huo Xin silently retracted his longing gaze: "It seems that it is just a simple strong bloodline, and has nothing to do with comprehension."
Everyone had been holding back on what they said, but now, seeing that each of the three men was saying something more outrageous than the last, they couldn't help but start muttering to each other.
"You're already in the Golden Core stage, but you still can't read?"
"The Golden Core Stage only represents one's cultivation level, not one's knowledge."
"Why is he standing there?"
"Stop talking, I feel like he's about to cry."
Amidst the whispers, the dark clouds in the sky and the whirlpool in the lake gradually dissipated. The black dragon's body grew stiffer, its aura weakened, and its pressure vanished into thin air. It was as if it had transformed into a lifeless stone statue.
In the end, everyone saw the black dragon suddenly turn its upper body and dive into the lake, leaving only its roar with a slight cry echoing on the shore.
"You humans are pure bastards! One day I will kill all the humans and spread my dragon power!"
Yun Miao glanced at the violently shaking lake and sighed, "Senior Sister, it seems like he was crying because of your scolding."
Ning Yu turned around and glanced coldly at the people behind him: "No, he was scolded and cried by you."
Everyone immediately turned their heads away, shut their mouths, and pretended nothing had happened.
Ning Yu didn't say much when he saw this, but just looked at the lake water polluted by vomit with disgust.
"I don't think any of you want to go swimming here right now, right? There's no rush anyway. I'll bring you back in a few days."
Everyone nodded in agreement, even Yun Miao, who always did not follow the beaten path.
So Ning Yu led everyone to turn around and leave. However, just after they took a few steps, a small vortex appeared again on the lake behind them, and a black scale the size of a palm flew out of it and shot towards the back of Yun Miao's head.
Ning Yu, who was walking in front, seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He swung his whip and wrapped it around the black scale. He glanced at Li Hu behind him with a little surprise, and then threw the black scale into Yun Miao's arms.
"Here, Mo Aotian gave it to you."
[A piece of black dragon's scale]: Contains a moderate amount of spiritual energy, its function is unknown.
Yun Miao picked it up and examined it carefully: "Why did he give me this?"
Tan Xiaobai immediately said that he had seen this plot in a storybook.
It is said that in ancient times, all the gods who originally lived on the earth suddenly ascended to heaven one day and entered the fairyland, no longer caring about the trivial matters of the world.
Then the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes led the demons to run rampant on the earth. Then a great war broke out among the three tribes, and countless demons were killed or injured. In the end, the winner, the dragon tribe, took the demons and fled into the demon world and never came out again.
However, because dragons are inherently lustful, there are still many aquatic creatures with dragon blood in the world who have successfully transformed into dragons through subsequent cultivation. This type of dragon is what people in ancient times called dragons.
In the story, an ancient female cultivator defeated a dragon by overcoming its strength without taking its life. The dragon accepted defeat with all its heart and voluntarily offered three dragon scales according to ancient rules.
He stated: In the future, as long as the female cultivator or her descendants sent a message to him through the dragon scales, he would immediately appear and help them complete three tasks.
But the female cultivator did not use the dragon scales to drive the dragon to do anything dangerous for her. Instead, she only asked him to do three simple things: accompany her to appreciate flowers in spring, boat trips in summer, and watch the snow in winter.
Tan Xiaobai gazed at the sky and sighed, "So, a man and a dragon sealed their bond with three dragon scales. From then on, they became Taoist companions, sharing unwavering love."
Yun Miao was surprised. "There's actually a romance novel in this game? A love story that combines ancient legends, racial differences, and love at first sight? Sounds really interesting."
Someone in the crowd became curious and asked Tan Xiaobai for the title. The others pricked up their ears and wrote it down, planning to secretly read it later.
Huo Xin looked thoughtful. "I did see this rule in the books I have at home, but...why is it one piece and not three?"
Ning Yu: "Maybe it's because Mo Aotian felt that Yun Miao was able to hurt him purely by taking advantage of his carelessness, so he wasn't completely convinced, only half convinced at best."
Yun Miao seemed to understand: "So that's how it is."
It turns out this silly dragon is a mini-boss that can be spawned repeatedly, dropping three dragon scales each time. I'm not sure if this is a weekly or daily boss.
If it's the daily boss, then she only needs to come at a fixed time and place every day to beat up this stupid dragon. Ten days will be thirty pieces, one hundred days will be three hundred pieces, and one thousand days will be three thousand pieces!
*
Ning Yu had just led his men for a distance when he heard the footsteps behind him becoming increasingly chaotic, from walking to jogging, and then from jogging to running.
She stopped, looked back at the people she was gradually leaving behind, and put her hand on the disciple order at her waist again.
"I was negligent. Please wait a moment. I will send some mounts over."
The people the Law Enforcement Hall faced were troublemakers who ran away faster than the wind after making mistakes, so she didn't remember that most of the new brothers and sisters were mortals who couldn't even do the Dragon Step.
Several people who were running out of breath immediately collapsed to the ground after hearing this. Great! They were saved again.
After waiting for a while, everyone suddenly heard the sound of violent flapping wings. Looking up, they saw more than a dozen huge, owl-like birds with human faces flying out from the clouds above and slowly landing on the open space in front of them. The people closest to them were frightened and took a step back.
Ning Yu: "This is the mount I just borrowed from Beast Peak. It is a human-faced owl, born with intelligence and can speak."
Just at this moment, a crane carrying a white deer flew over and hovered gracefully in the air.
Yun Miao's eyes lit up and he immediately pointed at the familiar crane and deer.
“Can I ride this?”
A deer rides a crane. She rides a deer, so gracefully, so gracefully!
Ning Yu tiptoed and landed on the back of the human-faced owl.
"This is Lu Dajiao, the demon cultivator that Dongjun Peak Master of Beast Peak has made an exception to accept. According to seniority, you should address him as Senior Brother. I personally think it's impolite to casually ride on a senior brother, so you should first ask him if he's willing to let you ride."
"I see."
Yun Miao's eyes lit up even more, and he turned to look at Bai Lu: "Senior Brother Lu, are you willing to..."
"I don't want to!"
The elegant and slender white deer uttered the powerful, angry voice of a rough man: "Ning Yu, don't go too far. Don't think that just because everyone is afraid of you, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, I, Lu Dajiao, am afraid of you too. What's the matter with riding on Senior Brother? It's not polite. Is this a question of impoliteness?!"
"And you, little bastard, you know I'm your senior brother, yet you still dare to ask such a stupid question? Have you never been beaten before? Believe it or not, I can give you a dime to travel from the top of Guanyuntai to Zizhi Garden, and then from the top of Zizhi Garden back to Guanyuntai!"
Yun Miao's eyes twitched. This mouthful of corn tasted like corn... Turned out to be Brother Lu from Northeast China. My apologies.
She turned her face away silently: "Forget it, I'd better ride the human-faced owl. Take a closer look, you are also very cute."
The human-faced owl blushed immediately after being praised and lowered its head shyly: "Thank you. You are very cute too. Do you want to lay eggs with me?"
Yun Miao: ???
Ning Yu calmly explained, "Because human-faced owls are born with facial features similar to those of humans, they have similar aesthetic tastes to us. Some human-faced owls even prefer attractive-looking members of the opposite sex to members of their own species."
"Summer is the breeding season for the Man-faced Owl, and they've been feeling a bit romantic lately. So if you don't have any feelings for them, it's best not to talk to them too much."
Yun Miao: ...
The other disciples: ...
The human-faced owl blushed and said affectionately, "Please don't say that. I can feel it. This is not the stirring of love during the breeding season, but the guidance of love. Human, the bird is pleased with you and is willing to offer itself to you. I only ask for one night."
Huo Xin expressionlessly pulled Yun Miao behind him and said, "She's not free tonight."
Tan Xiaobai, Guan Dahai and Gao Zhu stepped forward to block the huge bird head.
Tan Xiaobai: "I will protect the boss's innocence!"
Human-faced Owl: "Tomorrow night..."
Huo Xin pushed the knife with one hand, and the exposed blade flashed with a cold light: "I'm not free tomorrow night either."
The human-faced owl shrank its neck and looked at Yun Miao without giving up.
Yun Miao stood behind the thin but reliable figure of her younger brother and looked at Ning Yu quietly: "Senior Sister, next time, can you tell me something so important sooner?"
Ning Yu, standing on the bird's back, looked down at the deflated Yun Miao, and suddenly curled his lips in a smile, as if a perfect ice sculpture had cracked, revealing a hint of its dark and evil interior.
"cannot."
Yun Miao and others: ...This senior sister's personality seems to be different from what they had imagined before.
*
Although there were some disturbances along the way, everyone finally boarded the human-faced owl smoothly and gradually rose into the sky.
Yun Miao deliberately squeezed in next to Ning Yu to avoid being harassed by the human-faced owl. Looking at the shrinking Li Lake, she suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, did something happen two hundred years ago?"
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there seemed to be some hidden plot in the conversation between her senior sister and Mo Aotian just now.
Ning Yu looked ahead: "If a person has too much curiosity, then her life will definitely be filled with many unnecessary hardships."
Wow, the beautiful NPC sister can also talk about life philosophy with players!
Yun Miao smiled and said, "But if a person has no curiosity at all, then her life will definitely be stagnant."
Ning Yu looked at her coldly from the side for a long time, then said with a cryptic tone, "You're sharp-tongued. Well, after all, you just suffered a loss at the hands of Mo Aotian, so it's not considered gossip if I tell you about him."
She had heard from her master that ten thousand years ago, a female dragon named Mochi attacked Elder Yuchen, then the head of Jianfeng Peak. However, Elder Yuchen defeated her. Dragons are the aquatic creatures that most resemble dragons in behavior and are the most eager to become dragons. They regard everything dragon-like as their guiding principle.
So the female dragon offered her three scales according to the dragon rules, and Elder Yu Chen directly returned the three scales and made her request. She wanted the female dragon to be her mount for three thousand years.
The mother dragon agreed, and so the man and the dragon stayed together for three thousand years. Then they broke through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and Elder Yu Chen, who was promoted to the Supreme Elder, released the mother dragon.
The mother dragon didn't go far, but chose a mountain stream in the Xuantian Mountains to start her cultivation. That mountain stream was called the Black Dragon Stream, and the large mountain range next to the stream was called the Black Dragon Ridge.
Five hundred years ago, a female dragon who had been away for many days returned to Black Dragon Ridge and laid an egg alone. After two hundred years, the egg hatched into a little black dragon, Mo Aotian.
A few years later, the mother dragon abandoned the little dragon and left Black Dragon Ridge again, never to return. The master of Beast Peak, Dongjun, wanted to take the little dragon back to raise him because the mother dragon had some connection with the sect.
But the young Mo Aotian was as proud as his name. He refused to be raised by humans and grew up stumbling in the Black Dragon Ridge. As soon as he turned a hundred years old, he couldn't wait to leave the Xuantian Mountains to find his mother.
During his search, he came to a village, met like-minded humans, and experienced friendship for the first time. But one day, he woke up drunk to find a chain piercing his shoulder blade. The friend he had been drinking with the night before was now cutting his flesh with a knife. And that knife... was made from his mother's sharp teeth and scales.
