Chapter 18 Warning
Strategies and tactics are powerful weapons in fighting.
The five elements are mutually restraining, and yin and yang are mutually destructive. The fox is not good at frontal attacks, so calculation is particularly important.
Granny Shi was a seasoned expert, and she had a deep understanding of the eastern corner of Longpan Mountain. Gong Mengbi had inquired in detail about the topography of Wuhuan Peak and inquired about the Golden Toad and the Red Feathered Serpent.
Since occupying Wuhuan Peak, Jin Chan has lived in seclusion here and never goes out. Granny Shi only knows that he practices by gazing at the moon and can swallow and spit out clouds and mist. He must be proficient in the method of controlling water and making it rain, but she doesn't know anything else.
The red-feathered snake is different. It does not avoid the world and once visited Ruyun Peak in person to ask Grandma Shi for advice on cultivation.
The Red Feathered Snake accidentally ingested a strange fruit, sprouting wings and acquiring a fire element. Because of this, it suffered the burning of Yin Fire. It sought Yin-gathering substances to suppress this suffering, but this was only a temporary solution.
The more you suppress it with things that gather Yin, the more severe the backlash will be as the Yin Fire absorbs the things that gather Yin.
Granny Shi had previously pointed out a solution for the Red Feathered Serpent: to completely refine the inner energy, balancing yin and yang, and water and fire. If accomplished, not only would their magical powers greatly increase, they might even achieve the potential to transform into a dragon.
Now is the most difficult time for the Red Feathered Snake. If it can get through it, it will have a chance of becoming an immortal. If it can't, it will become a demon.
That was the reason why the mountain king came to lure him into the devil's trap. Otherwise, if the Red Feathered Serpent succeeded, he would have another powerful opponent.
Granny Shi explained everything in detail until it was getting dark. Then she said, "If not today, then tomorrow. Go quickly."
Gong Mengbi thanked him and said, "If this can be accomplished, I will come back to thank you again."
Granny Shi smiled and said, "I don't expect your thanks. Go ahead."
Gong Mengbi then rode the wind towards Wuhuan Peak.
Granny Shi looked at the direction where Gong Mengbi was going away, and for a moment she had many emotions in her mind, but in the end, it turned into a gentle and lonely look.
This fox lady obviously has a story to tell.
Gong Mengbi got along very happily with her, and a new treasure certificate was hung in the wishing tree - Shi Menggu.
This is Granny Shi's name, but she doesn't want to mention it again.
Gong Mengbi didn't want to pry into her past. If she was willing to talk about it, then she could tell it naturally. If she didn't want to talk about it, why bother asking?
It was not yet late at night, and the smoke and fog covering Wuhuan Peak had not yet dissipated, but had become slightly thinner.
When Granny Shi said that the Golden Toad was worshipping the moon and practicing, Gong Mengbi understood why he occupied this place and why the fog in the mountains would dissipate at night.
Gong Mengbi practices the Moon Worship Method, believing the sun and moon to be the parents of all living things. However, not many people can truly connect with the Moon Mother.
Toad and rabbit are the most common direct bloodlines.
If Gong Mengbi had not also practiced the moon-worshipping method, he would probably not be closer to the moon than the golden toad.
The way Gong Mengbi views Wuhuan Peak now is the same as the way Jin Chan viewed Wuhuan Peak in the beginning.
At night, Wuhuan Peak will draw in the moonlight and harmonize the energy of the moon, thus dispersing the smoke.
Gong Mengbi waited until the mist dissipated, then leisurely went up the mountain.
Although Granny Shi asked him to step forward at the critical moment to save the golden toad and repel the red-feathered snake, Gong Mengbi did not think that he could control everything at such a critical moment.
What if the ghosts helped the Red Feathered Snake and killed the Golden Toad as soon as they met? Or what if the Golden Toad managed to escape first, leaving him to take the blame? That would be ridiculous.
It would be better to give a warning in advance and test the temperament of the Golden Toad, so that we can discuss with him whether we can share Wuhuan Peak.
Gong Mengbi did not hide his aura, and as soon as he went up the mountain, clouds and mist swam over him like a giant python.
Gong Mengbi said loudly: "Jin Chan, I have something to talk to you about."
Clouds and fog enveloped Gong Mengbi, obscuring his senses. In the foggy darkness, there was a strange whistling sound, which seemed to be the wind, or the sound of exhalation.
A dull voice came from the clouds and mist: "Leave here, I don't welcome anyone to enter."
Gong Mengbi looked in the direction of the sound, but saw nothing. He threatened, "You are in great danger, don't you know it?"
Two large amber eyes lit up in the darkness: "I don't know if I'm doomed, but you are."
The voice came from behind Gong Mengbi, but Gong Mengbi didn't turn around. Instead, he suddenly floated forward, creating some distance between him and the voice. Then he turned around and said, "Do you think I'm trying to scare you?"
These big eyes were drifting around like a flying kite, with a hint of surprise in them.
If Gong Mengbi turned suddenly, the large eyes would inevitably follow suit, remaining behind him. However, he rode the wind forward, severing the aura behind him and, in turn, breaking the large eyes' aura attachment technique.
The technique of Qi attachment is to attach with the Qi. As long as you can stabilize the Qi, it will be like a tarsal ulcer that will linger there.
But at this moment, Gong Mengbi broke the art of Qi Fu, and the big eyes could no longer stay behind him forever.
The clouds and mist dispersed slightly, revealing the true appearance of the big eyes.
This is a huge golden toad that is almost as tall as a human. Its physique alone is larger than the skinny farmers and farmwomen at the foot of the mountain. Its big amber eyes have a terrifying sense of oppression.
Gong Mengbi was a little surprised. With such a big size difference, the fox could swallow him, the little fox, with just one mouth.
But there is another good news... maybe it is not good news, this golden toad is also of the ninth grade, with the same strength as Gong Mengbi, and weaker than the red-feathered snake.
Gong Mengbi began to wonder whether the two of them could succeed in fighting against the Red Feathered Serpent.
Jin Chan looked at Gong Mengbi, his eyes showing no emotion: "If you have some ability, I can let you go, but you can't come again."
Gong Mengbi's eyes showed a hint of helplessness: "I'm not trying to scare you. The Red Feathered Snake of Chixia Peak is suffering from the burning Yin Fire and needs a Yin-gathering object to alleviate the pain. Is there anyone more suitable than you to gather Yin? You don't even know that you are in great danger."
A hint of mockery flashed in the Golden Toad's eyes. "The Red Feathered Snake has been cultivating on Red Cloud Peak for decades and has never set his sights on me. You are exaggerating. What are you planning?"
Gong Mengbi sighed, "Of course I have a plan. Wuhuan Peak is where the Taiyin condenses. I want to open a cave in the peak to practice."
"Hahaha, you little fox, yet you come to covet my treasured land." Anger and mockery were evident in the Golden Toad's eyes. "Don't even think about it. Wuhuan Peak is my cave abode, and the Taiyin Moonlight here also belongs to me. I won't share it with anyone else."
Gong Mengbi's heart was raging. He said, "My plans are my own, but my warning is also true. The Red Feathered Serpent certainly doesn't want to eat you, but he's at a critical juncture now, suffering unprecedented torture and struggling to maintain his sanity. And his minions are fanning the flames of evil, so he'll definitely come to capture you today or tomorrow."
Jin Chan couldn't bear to listen any longer: "That's my business, what does it have to do with you? Unless I die, you can't get your hands on Wu Huan Peak."
The golden toad opened its mouth and inhaled, like a violent roar.
Gong Mengbi's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something was wrong, and he immediately flew away towards the outside of Wuhuan Peak.
Then he heard a sharp whistling sound behind him, and countless hailstones carrying flying sand, mud, stones, broken trees and branches rushed towards him.
Gong Mengbi took the lead and took off into the air, avoiding the hail and flying objects that were like flying arrows.
"Forget it, take care of yourself." Gong Mengbi's voice sounded like a bird or a fox, scaring the birds in the mountains to tremble.
