Chapter 317

The four cubs were hardy and easy to raise, and they almost never got sick. When Yuchuan saw the panicked phoenix, he was actually panicked too, but he just didn't show it.

On the way back, listening to Feng Huang's incoherent narration, Yuchuan understood the situation even more. He rushed into Bai Ze's room at a speed he had never run before. The big ball of fur under his palm suddenly shrank back to its original shape when he used his spiritual power to check it. The slightly dirty white ball was breathing steadily and did not look injured, but there was something wrong with the fluctuations of its consciousness.

Yuchuan's consciousness is full of cracks, which not only requires careful care, but also means that he is more sensitive to the fluctuations in other people's consciousness.

The experimental equipment for detecting consciousness was all in his own courtyard. Yuchuan picked up Bai Ze and ran without thinking, followed by Fenghuang and Qilin. When they arrived at his own courtyard, Yuchuan put Bai Ze down and outlined the gaps in the formation. He suddenly found that Canglong did not follow him - he knew how sensitive the character of the cub was. Even though it looked cool and arrogant now, it always had a vague sense of uneasiness.

Yuchuan believed that Canglong and Bai Ze must have been careful when they were fighting, and Bai Ze's current problems were not caused by Canglong. It was most likely just a coincidence. Thinking of the aura he felt when he entered Bai Ze's room, he guessed that Canglong didn't hear much of the words "Don't be afraid".

"Phoenix." Yuchuan said, "Can you go to Bai Ze's courtyard and call Canglong over?"

"Okay!" The master came back, and the panicked phoenix felt reassured. It believed that as long as the master was there, all problems would no longer be problems. "I'll go now!"

Qilin stayed obediently beside Yuchuan, helping him deliver materials when he needed them. Before the testing formation was completed, the phoenix came back, but there was nothing behind it.

"The Canglong disappeared..." The phoenix flapped its wings, and bloody scales appeared on the ground. "I only found this."

Their courtyard was reinforced by Yuchuan using various formations, so nothing could break in. These bloody scales could only have been caused by Canglong himself.

Yuchuan sighed.

From the day he raised it when the mountain was covered with snow, he knew that Canglong was extremely insecure. Yuchuan thought he could let it heal itself over time, but unexpectedly something went wrong. Based on Canglong's personality, he didn't know how much he had thought about at that time, and how many self-attacks he had imagined, otherwise where did these bloody scales come from?

He had a rare headache.

The situation on Shirasawa's side is unknown, and Tamagawa cannot leave for the time being, but he is also worried about leaving Canglong out late at night with an injury and a bad mood.

Yuchuan finally asked Fenghuang and Qilin to search for Canglong in the mountains, but they were not to leave the courtyard too far - the night in this world was not as safe as the day.

The two cubs rushed out of the room one after the other. Yuchuan forced himself to calm down and check on Bai Ze's condition. Qilin had checked him over and over again and found no external injuries. Yuchuan used his spiritual power to carefully check and found no internal injuries either. The problem could only be in consciousness.

He used energy to glue together the dense cracks on his consciousness, and after making sure that it would not collapse during high-intensity use, he tried to link to Bai Ze's consciousness with the help of the formation. He sensed a dark blue, a bit like the color of a Qilin's eyes.

There was an odd sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

And his inexplicable intuition told him that there should be white fish connected head to tail like silhouettes, and white birds flapping their wings and flying away from the sea.

Has he...been here before?

Yuchuan raised his hand, and a green fish appeared at his fingertips, with soft and blurred edges and star-like light falling from it.

[Take me to Shirasawa.]

He muttered to himself.

Then the silhouetted fish swung its tail, and the dark blue color came alive at this moment, emitting a strange smell, and Yuchuan felt that his whole body was trembling - this breath was the rule of life and death between heaven and earth.

Why did Shirazawa's consciousness enter the realm of life and death?

The cyan fish led Yuchuan to swim in the boundless dark blue. Yuchuan suddenly sensed a familiar breath. Perhaps driven by his thoughts, the fish swam faster and faster. Yuchuan saw a strange shadow - it looked like an alien beast, but also like a human, half human, half beast.

I can't see the facial features clearly, but I can feel a strong sense of familiarity.

The green fish lost its shape, and tried to embrace the shadow and leave. It turned into a sharp blade, and opened a crack in the dark blue. Everything in this world poured out through this crack, trying to embrace the shadow, pass through the membrane, and take him away.

"Shirazawa."

Tamagawa didn't know why he called out Shirazawa's name at this time, even though the memories surrounding Shirazawa clearly revealed his identity.

He always felt that this person was Shirazawa, but not Shirazawa.

The pulling stopped and Yuchuan heard his own voice, but he was sure he didn't speak.

He said, "Gu Hongying."

It seemed as if some memory was about to emerge from my mind, but it quickly disappeared in the restless consciousness.

He saw white dots of light coming out of the stopped shadow. These dots of light formed the shape of a small beast. Under the protection of the cyan light, it turned into a silhouette of a white fish, falling heavily downwards. The shadow that had completely turned into a human was rising up until it turned into a white bird with its wings spread.

Yuchuan didn't pay too much attention to the shadow. He just kept sinking following the white fish. When the last bit of light disappeared, he "woke up" - the link ended.

Everything that Yuchuan saw during the connection quickly faded away in his already damaged consciousness, but his heart miraculously calmed down. Bai Ze didn't have any big problems. It just showed signs of awakening its [talent] when it was still a long way from transforming. Because the talent it was about to awaken was quite special, so special that it touched the rules between heaven and earth, the body could not withstand the surge of consciousness power for a while, so it would protect itself in a dormant mode.

It's nothing dangerous, just need some sleep.

Yuchuan thought about the auras he felt as he sank down following the white fish, and in a trance he seemed to sense all the people he knew in this world... Maybe it was just his illusion.

The last bit of impression also disappeared from his consciousness. Tamagawa put Shirazawa on his bed, quickly cleaned its fur with formation method, and covered it with a quilt.

Bai Ze's problem is solved, and he has to go out to find Canglong.

*

The phoenix and the unicorn, one in the sky and one on the ground, teamed up to search the mountain thoroughly, but to no avail. When Yuchuan left the yard, the two of them were discussing searching for the second time.

"You all go back and rest, I'll look for him." Yuchuan patted the two cubs who were a little bit mad because of looking for Canglong, "Go and guard Bai Ze for me, okay?"

If they were asked to go back like this, they would definitely not be willing to do so. However, if they were asked to look after Shirazawa, they would not refuse. When Yuchuan was unable to take care of both, the cubs would consciously lighten his burden.

The phoenix flapped its wings and landed, saying to itself, "If only I had paid more attention."

Qilin also looked depressed and unhappy.

"It has nothing to do with you." Yuchuan touched their heads, "Go home."

After watching the Phoenix and Qilin enter the protection range of the courtyard formation, Yuchuan locked the formation, allowing neither entry nor exit.

Today, the Dragon Blood Tree asked Yuchuan to find him in the name of the two small sprouts, the Emperor's House Tree and the Emperor's Rest Tree. It was not to share with him the joy of the seedlings growing, but to tell him a strange thing—he met a crazy oak today.

The oak tree seldom attends gatherings of plants and trees. Coming two or three times out of ten is considered frequent. Most plants only come five or six times out of ten. It is rare to see a plant like the longevity tree that comes every time.

Because they had met seldom, the dragon blood tree and the poplar were not very familiar with each other, and were suddenly attacked. If it were not for the "immortal" nature of the dragon blood tree itself, he would have suffered a great loss.

It took a lot of effort for the Dragon Blood Tree to capture the Poplar alive, but he himself was also slightly injured. When talking about this, the Dragon Blood Tree was glad that he did not bring the two young buds with him when he went out. Such tender young buds would be seriously injured by just a single blow.

Dragon Blood Tree took Yuchuan to see the tied-up Yanmu. Yanmu still maintained his human form, but the expression on his face was chilling. When he made eye contact, one could feel a kind of madness that was completely different from the peaceful state of plants and trees.

The dragon blood tree is rough but delicate. After trying many methods without success, he sent a message to Yuchuan, asking him to come and take a look.

Although Yuchuan is the youngest among them, they have become lazy and used to going with the flow over the years, so Yuchuan, who is with four cubs, seems particularly reliable. Yuchuan can also often conjure up some interesting things related to the future, so when everyone encounters a problem that they can't solve, their first reaction is to find Yuchuan. If Yuchuan can't solve it, they will work together.

Yuchuan carefully checked the condition of the ash wood. It was obvious that something was wrong with the ash wood, but he couldn't find the root cause.

He and the Dragon Blood Tree discussed for a whole day but could not come up with a reasonable answer. Finally, both parties decided that the Dragon Blood Tree should first look for other plants to find a solution together. If that didn't work, they would hold a special plant meeting.

Because of the thorny problem of Yinmu, Yuchuan naturally returned home much later than usual. From the moment he saw Yinmu in trouble, he had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but Fenghuang came to him in a hurry, so he didn't have time to think about it.

Walking into the mountains in the night, Yuchuan realized that there was almost no moonlight tonight. Even if he covered his eyes with spiritual power, he could not see very far - no wonder the Phoenix and Qilin searched the mountain so hard.

Yuchuan simply walked around the mountain and indeed could not sense any trace of Canglong. Based on Canglong's usual habits, he chose to go west between the two directions.

There is also a mountain range to the west, which is taller than the one they live in now. After crossing one side of the mountain range, Yuchuan immediately sensed some strange auras.

The vague premonition he had before seemed to come true at this moment. He saw several human figures, some beasts and some plants deep in the dense forest. They stood quietly in the shadows of the forest.

Zhu Huai, Xiang Liu, and Gu Diao.

Oak, Cistanche, and Miguel.

This side is quiet and silent, even insects and birds are silent.
