In the depths of the barge, a red shadow swept between the towering ancient trees, and it was a certain Suzaku looking for food.

Where is there anything to eat? Zhu Liu said silently in his heart as he flew. I don't know why, I obviously have the foundation to cultivate, but I can't even speak; Isn't it true that only shapeshifters can speak?

It seems that I have to work hard to transform into a shape, and I can only complain in my heart that it feels so bad.

Suddenly, Zhu Liu's eyes sharpened, and a ...... appeared in his field of vision

Wild boar?

What's the matter, it looks delicious anyway. Zhu Liu lowered his body and mobilized his body's spiritual power according to the operation method contained in the lineage. The nearby fire aura fluctuated violently, and in an instant, a layer of red flames rose up all around Zhu Liu's body, and with the operation of spiritual power, an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, and the little Vermilion Bird couldn't help but bend his neck to the sky, and let out a long roar:

"Phew-"

With this long roar, almost all the fire aura within a radius of tens of miles was mobilized, Zhu Liu's wings slammed out, and the majestic fire aura turned into a huge fire blade in the shape of a half-moon, shooting towards the creature.

When the flames dissipated, Zhu Liu, who had recovered from that inexplicable state, looked ahead without tears: where the fire blade passed, a huge gap appeared in the forest that was tens of meters wide and hundreds of meters long; Not only that, after causing such astonishing damage, the fire blade actually slashed straight into the hard mountain, leaving a deep slash mark and piercing into the belly of the mountain, and I don't know how many earth and stones it penetrated before dissipating.

Naturally, the wild boar is gone, and there is not even a slag left......

What am I calling that? Annoyed, Zhu Liu couldn't help but want to pat his head hard. Forget it, let's look for it again.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhu Liu tilted his head to look at the menacing strange creature in front of him: its body was similar to a horse, but it was more than twice as tall as a horse; Covered in scales, with four curved claws like hooks, a curved horn on its head, and a long tail shaped like a dragon's tail.

Well, it looks grumpy. Zhu Liu watched the strange beast yell at him more than once, and silently complained in his heart. It's just not clear...... Is this delicious?

However, before Zhu Liu could make a move, the strange beast took the lead in making a move after roaring at the uninvited guest who invaded his territory to no avail: it hissed, lowered its huge head, and with it as the center, the nearby Yimu aura gathered towards the center, and finally was condensed on the single horn, and a little green light gradually changed from small to large, expanding to the size of a human head, and suddenly broke away from the single horn and shot out towards Zhu Liu!

"Bang!" A muffled sound came out, but when the attack of the alien beast was about to succeed, the red flames flowing on Zhu Liu's body condensed into a semicircular red light mask in an instant, and the light bullet hit the light mask fiercely, but it only made the latter tremble slightly, and then exhausted the spiritual power and dissipated in the air.

At this time, Zhu Liu, who had just come back to his senses, put his heart at ease: Hmm, that's it, it's just that, the defense can't be broken, it's a shame. The Divine Beast Vermilion Bird is not a race that only takes a beating and does not fight back, Zhu Liu immediately mobilized his spiritual power and spewed out a white spiritual fire from his mouth to pay tribute to the strange beast.

Before the previous miss, the beast was already on full alert, and when it saw that small flame, the instinct of the creature kept warning in its heart; I saw that as soon as it flicked its long tail, the dragon tail covered with scales behind it suddenly stretched out, and it was directly in front of the head. Immediately, small flames fell on the solid scales of its tail.

"Aang!!" The beast let out a heart-wrenching roar: its long tail had been split into two sections as if it had been cut by a laser, and the section was so smooth as a mirror that not even blood could flow out; Along with the destruction, the single horn on its head would have been a corpse by now if it hadn't been for the one horn that stopped it.

The undead beast no longer had the courage to crusade against the invaders, and it immediately turned around, ignoring its heavy injuries, trying to stay away from the strange bird, but even as it ran away with all its might, it did not forget to turn its head and let out a few angry roars at Zhu Liu.

What is it called, it is annoying. After being hit, Zhu Liu's patience dropped sharply, and the Vermilion Bird with fire raised his left wing, and his spiritual power flowed, and a huge wing phantom appeared in front of the left wing. With the infusion of spiritual power, the phantom became more and more condensed, and as Zhu Liu flicked his left wing, the huge phantom that was already close to the real thing flew straight towards the alien beast.

"Zheng-" There was a soft sound, and the huge body of the alien beast that was fleeing with all its might was easily broken by the phantom, and it was directly nailed to the spot.

However, Zhu Liu hadn't paid attention to its effect since he hit that attack, just stared at the huge long tail that had been cut off by the spiritual fire before: this is ...... Meat!!

—————— dividing line where night comes———

As night falls, many of the nocturnal creatures in the barge begin to come alive, but even the most fierce predators dare not approach this territory deep in the barge - most of the animals have very sharp instincts, and naturally no animal dares to provoke the predator who can easily kill the barge.

Barge Beast, this name is still due to Zhu Liu was too bored to read the Suzaku inheritance when waiting for the barbecue, it is said that this thing can eat tigers and leopards alive, and in ancient times it was often used as a horse for elite troops. However, compared to the use of the beast, Zhu Liu is more concerned about the following:

The barge beast is really ...... It's so delicious!!

It's really delicious, Zhu Liu knows that he doesn't have any special barbecue skills, and he doesn't have any condiments to add, but the barbecue in his mouth is not only charred on the outside and tender on the inside, not to mention chewy and juicy, the meat with beautiful marbling is moderately fat and thin, and even if there is no oil, it can be grilled to produce a rich aroma.

Zhu Liu, who had eaten enough, said that if he threw this guy into the world of his previous life, he would be eaten to extinction.

Sleeping when people are full is not good for their health, Zhu Liu feels that birds are ...... No, Suzaku should be about the same. For the sake of his health, Zhu Liu decided to explore the neighborhood - after all, he would be cultivating here for a while in the future, and it was always right to explore first.

Zhu Liu will not admit that he can't sleep because he has eaten too much.

Following the direction in which the beast came, a suzaku that had eaten up fluttered its wings and flew away. Due to the fact that the animals along the road avoided one after another, Zhu Liu did not see anything interesting. But only a quarter of an hour later—

This is...... The lair of the barge-beast?

Zhu Liu was now hovering in front of a cave, where the barge beast's aura was extremely strong, and at the same time, there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.

Zhu Liu was instantly excited, the secret cave! A cave guarded by strange beasts! Judging from the fragmentary memories of his previous life, isn't this the place to give the protagonist a golden finger!

Goldfinger, hehe~

After smirking in his heart, Zhu Liu directly crashed into it. The thin seal at the entrance of the cave was directly shattered by the flames around Suzaku, and Suzaku flew into the cave unscathed.

…… It stinks. As soon as he flew into the hole, Zhu Liu opened the aura shield in disgust - no way, who let the bird not be able to pinch its nose.

Isolated from the air in the cave, Zhu Liu looked around by the light of the fire on his body;

It is a small cave, and you can see the traces of large beasts living here for a long time. Near the inside of the cave were dry grass and branches on the ground, and there were a few broken bones scattered on the ground, perhaps left by some hapless animal that had accidentally broken into the cave before.

…… Gone?

Just when Zhu Liu was disappointed, suddenly, a slight fluctuation of spiritual power came from the deeper part of the cave. Zhu Liu hurriedly flew to the end of the cave, it turned out that on the side wall of the deepest part of this cave, there was another hole, through the hole, what appeared in front of Zhu Liu's eyes was a small flat land similar to a patio, in the middle of the flat land, a purple spirit grass was growing there quietly, and there was a light cyan shield around the spirit grass, and the fluctuation just now was emitted by it.

Seeing this spirit grass, Zhu Liu couldn't help but get excited. Could this be the magic medicine that can wash the marrow and cut the scriptures in the novel! Or can you recast your qualifications? Or do you want to change the spiritual root......

Zhu Liu, who didn't know the elixir, couldn't stop having messy thoughts while flipping through the Suzaku inheritance in his mind.

Wait, this is actually ...... Shapeshifting grass?
