Chapter 208: The Red Feather of the Past
"Red Feather." The chicken feather and I said that name at the same time.
"That's right, it's Red Feather. The gods know the beast too? The feathered man asked in surprise.
I don't know how to answer this guy's question anyway, so I can't tell my family that there is a monster named Hongling next to me, right? And I have a very bad guess from this strange person's narrative, that is, the red feather they are talking about is not the red feather when it was not detained by the heavenly court, that is to say, the place where we are now should be N years ago in ancient times, and at this time the heavenly court has probably just been established or has not yet been established, after all, the red feather at this time is still called a fierce beast rather than a divine beast. In other words, at this time, Hongling has not yet reached her peak form.
Hearing us say the name, the gold coin immediately leaned up and whispered, "I said, President, why did I listen to him as if he was your pet?" ”
"Shhhh I quieted the coins for a moment, then turned to reassure those who had summoned us, and finally the three of us left the altar together and headed out into the mountains behind us, as they watched with delight.
"Can you say it now?" Seeing that the NPc who saw us off in the rear couldn't see us anymore, the gold coin finally couldn't help but ask.
I thought about it for a moment, and then told her and Zhenhong the general situation of the whole thing. After listening to my explanation, Zhenhong said with a little surprise: "You mean that the fierce beast we are going to deal with is not the form of your demon pet before it became a divine beast?" ”
"Pretty much."
"And what are you worried about?" Zhenhong asked: "Anyway, you also have an identical storage by your side, even if the two are evenly matched, with our assistance, your demon pet will definitely be able to defeat her previous body, can it be said that this battle is completely without suspense." ”
"No, you didn't figure it out." I said, "Although Hongling is my magic pet, she is not the same as my other magic pets. She just took one of my pet positions, and then used it to get out of the control of the heavenly court. She was willing to be my pet at the beginning, but she just made a deal with me, and my other pets were the ones who really surrendered to me. ”
"So what?"
"So after a while, we will fight against this Red Feather who has not entered the full body, and it is possible that the Red Feather on my side will not participate in the battle."
Zhenhong asked with some surprise: "Even if she doesn't participate in the war, can't you make a demon pet with your strength?" What's more, people are still incomplete. ”
"No, no, no, you don't understand. Hongling is different from ordinary creatures, she is the only one who exists. ”
"The only thing to save zài?" Hearing these four words, True Red and Gold Coins, they were all shocked.
In Zero, the creatures generated by the system are generally divided into three different types: the unique being, the special being, and the universal being. It is easier to understand that there is a large number of zài in the world. For example, humans are universal, and dragons are universal, because they are not unique.
The special existence zài and the general existence zài are related to a certain extent, but they are not exactly the same. In general, the special storage zài is the special storage zài of a race, such as luck and plague. In general, they both belong to the dragon race, but both of them are dragon king attributes at the same time, and among the dragons, the dragon king belongs to the special existence zài. Strictly speaking, most of my demon pets belong to special storage zài, after all, they are either the king of a certain race or a god-type creature, so they can be regarded as special storage zài.
Finally, and most specially, there is the only zài. This classification refers to the kind of organisms that do not have a homogeneous family, or have a relatively large change in themselves, and the same family can no longer be classified into a species. So far, the only beings I know are: the Four Holy Beasts, Bi Ling, the White Jade Qilin Silver Snow, the Golden Heavenly Dragon, the Black Qilin, the Red Feather, and the King Kong before becoming a spirit control. In this, King Kong and the Four Holy Beasts are all regional guards, Bi Ling and the three of them are the national guardian beasts of China, and the black unicorn belongs to the 10,000-year-old demon Red Feather and the Black Qilin seem to be of the same nature.
Think about these guys who can be classified into the category of the only storage zài, and you can think of what kind of storage zài is in the group. Is one of them easy to mess with?
Jin Coin looked at me a little frightened and said, "According to what you said, aren't we going to deal with a storage zài that is equivalent to a level of district guard?" ”
"District Guard?" Zhenhong also exclaimed: "Saving zài like Qinglong and them? ”
"It shouldn't be that strong." True Red and Gold Coin were slightly relieved to hear me say this, but I followed suit, "But it's not too much off." ”
"No, it's not." The gold coin suddenly realized something. "It shouldn't be that bad."
"How so?"
Jin Coin immediately said, "Do you remember the difficulty of the task before we came in?" ”
"That's right." True Red reacted immediately. "The mission difficulty is B+, how can we run into District Guards? If there really is such a storage zài and we are safe, then this task must be at least 2" level or above, and it is not necessary to reach the SS level. ”
"What you said also makes sense, but it's useless for us to guess here, it's useless not to find that underage Hongling and talk about anything."
"Then don't you have to talk to Hongling next to you first? If she is willing to help, then this Mu mission is neither said nor SS-level, and it will directly become F. ”
"I don't think it's likely, but I can try."
Since it was decided, I didn't delay and released Hongling directly. As soon as she appeared beside us, Hongling didn't wait for me to speak, and said directly: "You don't need to say it, I heard almost everything in the training space just now." ”
"You've heard it all, so save it, I'll explain slowly. Are you going to help, though? ”
Hongling looked at me and laughed. "Anyway, I'm your pet.
Although I said before that we are only in an agreement, but you, the master, are not bad to me, and I should help even if it is a friend's position, right? ”
"So you're willing to help?"
"Of course."
"Ha, that's going to save trouble." I said, "With your shot, you who are not yet an adult must be able to catch it." ”
"No, you misunderstood what I meant." Just when I was excitedly thinking that the task was solved, Hongling suddenly said: "Although I will help, it will only be when your life is in danger." If your life is not in danger, then I will not strike. But although I can't make a move, I can tell you how to fight that underage me. After all, that's me, too. Who knows my own weaknesses better than I do? ”
"I think now I can understand how that B+ mission came about."
The difficulty of the task measured by the system has never been wrong. Since it is said to be B+ this time, it must be such a difficulty. Although Hongling refused to make a move, "But she can move her mouth as well." With her suing us for our own weaknesses, I'm cooperating with other magic pets, and it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of Hongling, so the system gave it a B+ difficulty, not even an A-level task.
As an independent classification, fierce beasts are different from divine beasts and demon beasts. Divine beasts are creatures that have reached the point of self-sufficiency, so their aggression is very low, "Unless you take the initiative to provoke others, it is rare to hear that divine beasts will hurt people." Demon beasts are different from divine beasts, they also need to devour other lives to improve their strength or maintain life, so compared to divine beasts, demon beasts are more aggressive. However, because monsters also have feelings, "and they usually understand some cause and effect, so they will not rashly attack other creatures, so although monsters are aggressive, they are not attacked by everyone." Compared to the previous two creatures, the beast is a completely different situation.
The reason why the beasts have a murderous character in their names is because they are very ferocious. Not only do these guys need to devour other lives to maintain their own survival and development like demon beasts, but they also have a very strict problem: "That is, they have almost no self-control." In fact, compared with demon beasts, the IQ of fierce beasts is not low at all, and even the intelligence of fierce beasts generally surpasses that of demon beasts. However, high intelligence is high intelligence, and the impulsive instinct of these guys is something that cannot be controlled at all, even if sometimes they know that they can't attack the creature in front of them, they will still follow their instinctive shouts to attack. And "unlike demon beasts that have basic concepts of good and evil and feelings and like to live in groups as a family unit, fierce beasts are generally lonely and have almost no emotions. These guys have little thought in their heads other than the desire to be powerful, so even though their intelligence is not low, their behavior is very retarded. It's not because they're stupid" purely because the instinct is too strong.
As soon as they find a creature in their range of activity, unless they can't leave for some reason, they will immediately pounce and attack, and once all the creatures within their range are dead, they will quickly change places, which is the main reason why the beast is hated. After all, even if the monster likes to hurt people, at least people have a fixed activity area, and people are afraid of being hurt by the monster, so it's a big deal to leave without going to his range of activities. But the beast will run around, even if you can't hide, this is what people hate the beast the most.
"Listen, my current weakness is mainly the tail." As she followed us into the mountains, she said, "My tail is the source of my strength, and if you want to hurt me, you must cut off my tail, which is the only weakness besides my head." As for the heart, this position instinct is also one of the weaknesses, but apart from you, I don't have to think about it if I build a true red and gold coin. ”
"Why can't we?" True Red asked.
"Because you don't have the master's ability to attack." Hongling said very shamelessly: "My body is very large, and that is on the premise of not using the Transfiguration Technique." If I use spells like Heaven and Earth, I can also change the size of my body at will. The largest can be ten times larger, and the smallest can be the size of a newborn mouse. However, in order to increase the attack power, I usually don't make it smaller, but I just make it bigger. Besides, even if I'm not too big, I'm not small, and with the length of your weapon, even if I can penetrate my fur, I will definitely not be able to reach the location of my heart, so this place is basically not a critical point for you. ”
"And what about the other weaknesses?" I asked, "You don't have that little flaw, do you?" ”
Hongling shook her head and said, "My flaws are naturally more than that, but the problem is that I don't know what stage I am at when I am a minor." If it's me who has just cultivated for decades, then I don't need to say, you can just go up and tell the winner within three moves, but if it's me who is close to the state of being promoted to the state of a divine beast, then even if all three of you are tied together, it is estimated that you don't have an hour to get it. You'll have to have me by your side to show you how to fight, otherwise you may not have a chance of winning. ”
"That's right! I don't know what level I've evolved to, so I'm not sure what the weaknesses are. I thought for a moment and said, "That's it." Let's wait until we see your incomplete body! Hopefully, she hasn't evolved to a strong state yet. ”
As the ancestor of the Heavenly Fox, although Hongling is the only one I have survived, she has a lot of inheritance, so we are very sure of how to judge the strength of the underage Hongling. Whether the fox clan is a fierce beast, a demon beast or a divine beast, it is actually the same, if you want to know how strong they are, just count how many tails they have. The number of tails represents rank, and the 12 of the red feathers are the highest record so far. One more tail is equivalent to crossing a stage, and whether it is the peak of a certain stage, or just entering a certain stage, just look at the shortest tail, because that must be the tail that grows after promotion, and its length represents the strength of this fox individual to what state it has advanced, which is similar to the player's experience bar function, and you can clearly judge the strength of the other party. Of course, the tail length mentioned here is calculated in units of the body length of that fox individual.
In the process of Hongling's explanation to us, we are also constantly going deeper into the mountains. Although the vegetation here looks lush, it is not too tall, and it is clearly not at the level of a primeval forest. Moreover, the pavilions and stone-paved roads that can be seen everywhere in the mountains indicate that this must have been a place with a lot of people in the past, after all, according to the level of productivity in ancient times, the roads that could be paved were in prosperous areas. There were no big beasts in the mountains in front of me, and there were no mines or anything like that, so the only explanation I could think of was that this place must have been a holy place before, so the road was built.
Speaking of which, the scenery here is really good, the real red and gold coins don't look like they're here to do tasks along the way, but they look like they're here for sightseeing, and they keep pointing to the various wonders on the side of the road for me to see. However, as I walked, I suddenly had a pause. "Stop."
"What's wrong?" Both True Red and Gold Coin looked at me curiously, wondering why I had stopped them.
As I summoned Amenes, I took out my weapon and looked around and said, "We've just walked through here once, and we're going around in circles. Red Ling is a fox clan, and what she is best at is illusion, and we must have entered her range of activities. ”
