Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ancient Beasts
Qian Yunyue ran all the way in a straight line, although he encountered two monsters blocking the way on the way, but he was directly ignored, he was very worried about Ling Ziyan now, he sent a message several times, indicating that the target was still wrong. But in the list of teammates, Ling Ziyan has been in a fighting state, although she keeps losing blood, but she is not dead, then there is only one possibility for this situation, he has seen similar content on the forum, that is, one party is trapped by the enchantment, so he can't send and receive any information.
This map was really annoyingly big, and he ran for nearly half an hour before finally coming to where Ling Ziyan was. As far as the eye could see, there was a building like a Taoist temple in front of him, and then he saw Xiaobai.
Xiaobai was lying at the door of the Taoist temple, flicking his tail boredly, and when he saw him, he quickly got up and ran all the way. The spirit animal and the master are in the same heart, in short, the master can speak through the spirit animal.
"Why are you only here now?! I've waited so long! Before Qian Yunyue could ask what was going on, Xiao Bai ran over and crackled, he knew that this was Ling Ziyan, and this was not the first time this was the case, but it still felt weird.
"Where are you? Trapped in an enchantment? Qian Yunyue looked at the Taoist temple and felt a very strong aura and sense of coercion emanating from it.
"Well, I originally wanted to take a look first, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap just after I came in, but fortunately I let Xiaobai out." Ling Ziyan's tone that was still menacing just now suddenly changed, and it sounded a little embarrassing. "How do you know I'm trapped in an enchantment?"
"I'll send you a message with the wrong target, and I'll find out." Qian Yunyue came to the door of the Taoist temple and looked around.
"No wonder I haven't been able to send a message, I thought you died somewhere, hurry in and save me, if you don't come again, I'll die." Ling Ziyan's tone suddenly became very urgent, and it seemed that the situation was a bit urgent.
So he followed Xiaobai, pushed the door in, and stepped into the Taoist temple.
In front of you is a wide open-air square, behind which is a majestic hall with closed doors. Ling Ziyan was trapped in a cylinder in the middle of the square, affected by the enchantment, she had been losing her blood constantly, and she couldn't use the recovery medicine in the enchantment, she relied on her skills to add a little blood to herself from time to time, but the mana was almost exhausted.
"Look at your step." Ling Ziyan opened her mouth to remind.
Qian Yunyue had already discovered just now that this square was paved with countless huge square bricks, and strange patterns were faintly emerging on the bricks, and it seemed that if you took a wrong step, it was estimated that you would end up with the same ending as Ling Ziyan.
"I've just researched it, and there are seven different patterns, and I guess they have to be in a certain order." Although Ling Ziyan was trapped, she was not idle, and although she studied for a long time, she still didn't understand what was going on.
"I think I've seen this thing somewhere." Qian Yunyue always felt that the pattern on the slate was a little familiar, he should have seen it in some ancient book, but he just couldn't remember it. He glanced at the square, it seemed to be a puzzle-solving trap, if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare to take the risk, but there was no more time for him to think, Ling Ziyan no longer had any mana to add blood to himself, if the amount of blood was deducted, he would die. He scratched his head anxiously and looked up again. Suddenly, something seemed to flash through my mind. Just now, I seem to have seen it...... He raised his head again and looked at the sky, and suddenly realized that this was the star chart. So he went over all the patterns again, and then stepped out, stepping on a stone slab on the left.
After stepping on it, there was no abnormality, and it seemed that it was right. He looked at it, jumped to the stone slab in front of him again, and nothing happened, sure enough, it was a star map. This is the seven southern houses of the 28 Nakshatras, Well, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Wing, Zhen, it is worthy of a game with ancient mythology as the background, and even the stars have come out, but to play a game, do you have to be so knowledgeable? Qianyunyue was sweating profusely, this time it was lucky, so what should I do next time I meet someone I don't know, he is not the kind of bookworm who reads ancient books.
In this way, Qianyunyue played with jumping lattice in the square. After a big circle around the square, he finally came to the front of the main hall, and when he stepped on the last stone, all the stone slabs lit up, converging into a beam of white light and rushing straight to the main hall, at this time, the enchantment that trapped Ling Ziyan was finally lifted, if it was one step later, Ling Ziyan would have to be resurrected and exit.
"It's finally out." Ling Ziyan let out a sigh of relief, she smiled at Qian Yunyue slightly, "Good job, it seems that my command is quite effective." β
Qianyunyue has a black line, this little girl is really, she died just now, and now she is starting to play again. He was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the main hall. Turning his head, a giant bird with raging flames burst out of the main hall, and then stopped in mid-air, staring at the two of them.
He remembered that the Seven Houses of the South represented one of the four divine beastsβthe Vermilion Bird.
Suzaku is one of the four spirits of heaven in ancient mythology, and is the god of the south who represents the Yan Emperor and the seven houses of the south.
Ling Ziyan also stared at the Vermilion Bird in mid-air, and was stunned for a long time, and a sentence came out of her mouth: "It's so beautiful." β
Qian Yunyue glanced at her speechlessly, this is a divine beast, although he has seen one before, but Lu Wu is just a trace of remnants. The Suzaku in front of him was obviously different, exuding a strong sense of oppression, and I saw that Xiaobai was already lying on the ground, unable to move, this was the coercion from the superior. Now what? He didn't expect such a show, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.
"Human, did you liberate me from the seal?" Suzaku speaks with a sharp but very pleasant voice.
Ling Ziyan was about to speak, but Qian Yunyue grabbed her and gave her a look to signal her not to speak. Then he turned around and saluted Suzaku, and said respectfully: "If you go back to your predecessors, you really did it by the next two. β
"Huh? You're a human being a little interesting, and you actually have a familiar smell of the old people on you. Suzaku looked at Qianyunyue, and she felt the breath of an ancient divine beast from this human being. She looked at Xiao Bai who was lying on the side with his head hanging down, "Are there any summoners who have tamed the Sky Fox?" β
"Yes, by chance, I got a trace of the remnant incarnation power of Lu Wu's predecessors." Qian Yunyue knew that Suzaku was a guardian beast representing auspiciousness, and it should not harm them, so he told the truth, and he was very excited in his heart, he had a hunch that this time they had an adventure again.
"I see, Lu Wu has already ascended and passed away." Suzaku looked at the sky, as if remembering something.
Qian Yunyue and the two of them didn't dare to take a breath, so they stood silently.
After a while, Suzaku came back to his senses, looked around again, and said: "I never thought that I had been sleeping for thousands of years, and now there is a moment to see the light of day again, could it be that the Demon Emperor has awakened, and the battle of destroying the world thousands of years ago will reappear in the world?" β
Demon Emperor? Thousands of years ago? Qian Yunyue suddenly remembered what Lu Wu had told him, could it be that the battle that destroyed that city a long time ago was the battle of extinction in Suzaku's mouth?
"It turns out that you are actually the descendant of the Fist Saint, it seems that you are one of the chosen sons this time, hey, but you are too weak now to shoulder the responsibility of guiding sentient beings." Suzaku looked at Qian Yunyue, shook his head, and sighed in a low voice.
"Senior, please forgive me for being stupid, I really don't understand what my predecessor meant?" Qian Yunyue looked confused when she heard this, what is the chosen one?
"The time has not yet come, and you will understand. However, I can also tell you something in advance, about the war that took place thousands of years ago. With that, a white light erupted from Suzaku's mouth and shot directly into Qian Yunyue and Ling Ziyan's brains.
Suddenly, a large amount of information poured into the minds of the two, and they were dizzy for a while.
"This information can only be known to the two of you, not to the outside world." Suzaku reminded the two, and then said, "It is also fate that you two meet me, so I will give you some strength, and I hope that you will make good use of it, so as to benefit all sentient beings and prepare for what you will do in the future." β
After Suzaku finished speaking, his body emitted a dazzling golden light, and two rays of light converged in front of him, and then slowly sent into the two of them.
"Ding Dong, congratulations on obtaining the power of the ancient divine beast Vermilion Bird, increasing your experience points by 100 million and gaining an additional 20 points of all basic attributes."
The system prompt of the two sounded at the same time, and they were pleasantly surprised. This time it's really right, it's an adventure. Ling Ziyan has been promoted to level 32, and she is about to reach level 33, and Qian Yunyue has also been promoted to level 32, with nearly half of her experience bar. The key is this additional increase in all base attributes, which is equivalent to a 20-level increase in attributes. Ling Ziyan's last adventure only added 10 points to her, but Qian Yunyue was a bit exaggerated, and now it is equivalent to a basic attribute of about level 80.
"There are some things left by your ancestors in the main hall, so you can take them with you." Suzaku continued, "Remember what I said and my responsibility, and we'll see you again in the future. With that, the Suzaku soared into the air and flew away towards the sky.
Qian Yunyue and Ling Ziyan glanced at each other, grinned, raised their hands and slapped their palms with a heart, finally it was not in vain to spend so much effort tossing for half a day, this trip was worth it.
After the Vermilion Bird flew away, Xiao Bai was finally able to move, got up, walked to Ling Ziyan's side dejectedly, and whimpered in a low voice. Ling Ziyan hurriedly touched its head and comforted it, she had heard Suzaku say clearly just now, Xiaobai was a descendant of the Sky Fox, that is to say, it also had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast.
But the most surprising thing was the news that Suzaku conveyed to them, which was so shocking that it was hard to imagine that something like that happened in this world thousands of years ago.
