Text Act I: The Spread of the Heart_Chapter 34: The Emperor of Ten Thousand Birds
"Young master, the artifact is a unique gift in the world, not everyone can control it, and the first Xuan Emperor sealed the artifact because he was afraid that it would cause trouble after it appeared again!" Fenrir said solemnly.
"Dragon Emperor, I know that you are for my good, but in order to stop the conspiracy of the Senate, I must take the artifact, and besides, I need to arm myself with the power of the artifact now, only in this way can I make myself strong as soon as possible, so that I can deal with the Senate in the future."
"I also agree, the artifact should go to someone like the young master, if it falls into the hands of a bad person, it will be troublesome?" Yan Wei said urgently, as if she was afraid that the Flame Demon Dragon Emperor would object.
Looking at the pitch-black sky, the Flame Demon Dragon Emperor sighed, "Young Master, since you insist on doing this, I can't stop it." Saying that, he put his hand on Ziyan's shoulder, "Actually, your father already had the artifact within reach, but at the last moment, he took the initiative to give up again, what your father can do, I believe you can do it too!" ”
Dongfang Ziyan nodded, he didn't know Dongfang Xiao's experience, but he was full of confidence to succeed, he knew that he was far from his father, but over the years, he had learned to persevere, and Long also told him that his persistence would be the key to his success.
"How? Yan Wei, would you like to come with me? Dongfang Ziyan asked
"I'll go wherever the young master goes." Yan Wei said firmly.
"Then let's go." Zi Yan nodded at the Dragon Emperor, then turned to look at the volcano under the dark sky.
Late at night, Dongfang Ziyan was wearing a long ghost head rope around his waist, and the three-headed fork of the rope head hung on the high horn peak of the snow-capped mountain glacier, and he was climbing towards the crater of the highest peak step by step.
"I said that I had to hurry up the mountain, and I had to rest for the night... What kind of day and night is there in this hellish place, it's all night, what is that artifact? It tickles my heart..." Ziyan muttered as he struggled to crawl. After he climbed to a certain height, he turned his head and looked at the ground where he set off, and he could no longer see Yan Wei and the Dragon Emperor on the ice bed on the ground. "It's too late to regret it now, let's go up first, it's dangerous halfway up the mountain." After saying that, he used his hands hard, and continued to climb up with his strength.
After a long time, he finally climbed to an ice platform where he could settle down, and it was very close to the top of the mountain, surrounded by black clouds and ice mist, which meant that the height was already very high, he pulled the ghost rope with both hands and threw the rope head to the top of the mountain more than thirty meters high. Dongfang Ziyan pulled his hands and fixed them, and after thinking that it was okay, he suddenly walked up again.
Ziyan saw that the top of the mountain was close in front of him, and he couldn't help but speed up, but at this time, he didn't realize that there was danger approaching behind him.
A black shadow flew in the dark night sky, rushing straight towards Dongfang Ziyan, it was a spirit beast "Blue Ice Sculpture" that lived in the polar regions, with a wingspan of three meters, and was often a lone beast that liked to attack the creatures on the mountain. The blue ice sculpture flew over silently, and when it was closer to Dongfang Ziyan more than 20 meters, its body suddenly spun, and with its sharp beak turned into a momentum like a rotating drill, heading towards Dongfang Ziyan!
It wasn't until the last moment that Dongfang Ziyan heard the sound of spinning, it was a popping sound caused by rubbing the air, he looked back suddenly, and a cold wind was blowing in the night sky! He screamed out of instinct, his legs quickly kicked on the ice wall, and his hands grabbed the ghost rope and swung high into the air, at the same time, the blue ice eagle's attack directly hit the ice wall, destroying a large hole, although the ghost rope was solid and durable, it was broken by the blue ice sculpture's rotating attack. Dongfang Ziyan relied on the power of the ghost rope to swing in the air, and his body had reached the height of the top of the mountain, but the rope was broken, and there was an abyss under him. Just when he was about to fall, Ziyan was not in a hurry, turned around and pushed out with both hands, and a flame impact roared out, and the recoil of the flame impact actually pushed him to the top of the mountain!
"Damn it! Don't let me see you again!! Although he was out of danger of being killed, the ice on the top of the mountain where Ziyan had just landed collapsed and broken due to the attack of the blue ice sculpture, and he ran inside desperately, scolding as he ran.
After running for a while, Ziyan felt safe, so he stopped, panting, "It's really thrilling." He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. I climbed this peak alone, and in addition to being very tired, he also felt a little excited.
Dongfang Ziyan took out the kettle from the phagoagocytic sac, and he observed the surroundings while drinking the water.
The top of the mountain is still covered with glaciers, but all of them are ancient permafrost, and there is no snow in sight, and occasionally a few bare black volcanic rocks appear, "This is probably the snow melting caused by the previous flame eruption, right?" As he spoke, he touched a handful of volcanic ash on the ground, "It seems that this eruption is not accidental, something must have happened here." ”
Dongfang Ziyan stood up, he stretched his body, his long black hair fluttering in the wind, he closed his eyes, and the spiritual power of his mind was spreading, "There is really a faint reaction of courage nearby, and there is also a faint smell of burnt paste in the air, who has fought here?" ”
After a quarter of an hour, he walked on a section of uphill, he estimated that it was not very far from the crater, but something under his feet tripped him, and he glanced at his feet by the blue glow of the polar snow-capped mountains, it was a corpse buried in the volcanic rock, only the sternum bone was exposed to the ground, it should have turned into a skeleton a long time ago, Ziyan's heart tightened, he couldn't help but clench the fire sword in his hand, and walked in the direction of the crater.
"The figure in front? Is that a person? Ziyan kept his heart up, but suddenly someone suddenly appeared in front of him on the right side! A person sat on a rock with his back to him, his head drooping, and what surprised Ziyan even more was that that person actually had a pair of wings?!
Yan Wei got out of the simple tent at the foot of the mountain, he looked around, and immediately woke up Fenrir, who was sleeping soundly, "Dragon Emperor!" The young master is gone! She shook the Dragon Emperor vigorously.
"What?! Where did he go? Fenrir jerked to his feet.
"And his sac-devouring belt and fire sword are gone, he must have gone up the mountain first!" Yan Wei said.
"When you said that, I did notice a trace of power just now, and I thought it was a spirit beast moving around, and I didn't care." Fenrir quickly got up, "The young master must have gone up the mountain first, it's too dangerous, let's hurry up and catch up with him." ”
"But how am I going to get up?" Yan Wei asked.
"I'll carry you on my back, and I'll be able to fly up in a while, and I must find the young master as soon as possible...... Otherwise, if something happens to him, it won't be enough for me to lose my own life! The Dragon Emperor shouted.
On the top of the mountain, Zi Yan braved the cold wind and approached the mysterious man, and as the distance gradually narrowed, Zi Yan couldn't help but get nervous: it was a shirtless white long-haired man, with a lowered head that made the long hair go vertically, and the skin could be seen to be very white in the dark, and there was a strange totem on his back.
Ziyan turned to the man, looking at the face with his eyes closed, a little familiar, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt.
"Yuan disease?" Ziyan called out tentatively, that person's appearance really looked like Shangguan Yuanji.
The man didn't react, although it wasn't real, but Ziyan had already determined that it was Shangguan Yuanji. Ziyan had long thought that Yuan Ji and Cangyue had left the city ahead of schedule, and they should have arrived in the Demon Realm at their speed, right? But I never thought he would appear here.
"Are you Shangguan Yuanji??" Ziyan walked over and asked tentatively.
Before the words fell, the man suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of crimson pupils opened, stealing a bewitching beauty, and the slender pupils were contracting violently! When Ziyan saw that look, he was so shocked that he immediately took a few steps back, "Who are you!" ”
The man didn't say a word, his eyes were like red lanterns in the dark night, and when he stood up, Ziyan found that he was very tall, taller than the dragon-humanized Yan Demon Dragon Emperor, and the wings behind him were really born on his body, and there were occasional hairs and scales on his sideburns and arms. Ziyan can see clearly now, this is not a person at all!! It's just a human form! When the spirit beast cultivates to a certain level, it will choose to transform into a human form, which can not only make it easier to move, but also save the unnecessary courage and spiritual power consumption of the arrival of the true body.
The guy with wings finally spoke, his face was full of lines, it seemed to be some kind of mysterious totem, the wings should be red, and after they were unfolded, they were five meters long, setting off a strong wind, but Dongfang Ziyan didn't fully understand what he said, the guy made a sound similar to a whispered codeword, and at the same time there were one or two muffled roars in his throat.
"Legacy...... No entry......" Ziyan muttered unfamiliar language, and he still didn't understand what the guy said. "What do you mean? I don't mean anything, I just want to come and get the artifact. ”
The guy stopped talking, looked at Dongfang Ziyan fixedly, his eyes suddenly changed, the murderous aura became very strong, even the stones at his feet were trembling and floating into the sky, its body gradually changed: its body turned into molten gold, and its whole body seemed to flow with flames, which was more dazzling than Dongfang Ziyan's flame demon body transformation, and after a few seconds, it became completely elementalized, and when the dazzling firelight gradually dimmed, Ziyan was suddenly fascinated by the hot wind and waves that stirred up, and the hot wind that made it difficult to breathe blew, Ziyan couldn't open his eyes, After a quarter of an hour, Ziyan was able to open his eyes, but everything in front of him made him desperate!
A giant bird and beast with molten golden eyes glowing, standing in front of Ziyan, covered in bright red wings, burning with purple flames, and on the top of the phoenix head is a golden flowing flame, and its body is no different from the Flame Demon Dragon Emperor, all of which are amazingly big!!
Dongfang Ziyan's heart was shocked, and now he was even more convinced, this behemoth should be the "old goblin" who guarded the artifact that the Yan Demon Dragon Emperor said before, this is the beast god guardian of the guardian artifact, the beast god who is one level higher than the phoenix, the emperor of ten thousand birds: Vermilion Bird.
