Chapter Thirty-Nine: Vulcan Mountain

When the head man saw that his mounts had been subdued, the poor beast didn't even look at him, and was even more impressed by the three strange-looking gods. One can shoot fireballs, one has exaggerated arm strength, and the other has subdued the poor strange beast, and this battle can't be fought.

After Jiang Ming understood the cause and effect of our defeat of Xuanru, he asked the servant head man to be the translator, and asked Xuanru to draw ten people to help us find the Vermilion Bird Firebird. Xuan Rutou took the lead, picking out ten elite soldiers, and the rest stayed in the cave to deal with the aftermath.

This underground person has a very indifferent view of life and death, unlike the people on the ground who cry to death and come back to life, the underground world is respected by the strong. Dozens of Xuanru can't beat three alien races, but they are so impressed that they are going to look for the Vermilion Bird Firebird, and they also want to act as a pawn.

The servant head man came over and said that if he didn't feed Xuanwu tomorrow, he would be afraid that the ground would move and he couldn't hold it down. It is said that in addition to eating a large amount once a year, Xuanwu must eat a living person in order to fall asleep in the last bite. It's really not possible, but humanoids can also be underground, so the nearby underworldns will prepare food to feed tomorrow.

I asked the fat man and Jiang Ming if there was any way to do it. Then the two of them discussed it and said that they could set up a formation to deceive Xuanwu and make it hungry. After discussing, a group of more than 30 people set off and walked in the direction of the place where the servants lived.

Jiang Ming instructed the servant head man to pay attention to collecting the things of the five elements along the road and use them for the purpose of arranging the array. Set off again to the place where the servants lived, collecting as they went. Halfway to a stone pillar at one of the four poles, we stood on the edge of a salt pond of several hundred square meters and looked at the turtle shell.

This turtle shell is 20 meters in size and 6 or 7 meters in height, and in the center of its back is a round stone pillar with a diameter of 10 meters, towering into the rock. Half of the shell was soaked in the salt pool, except for the four legs, Xuanwu hid his head in the shell, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.

The servants and Xuanru are all around us, and compared to us, Xuanwu is an existence that makes them feel more terrifying. Now we say that we want to set up a formation and let Xuanwu continue to sleep, which is incredible from their point of view, and cultivation is another world for them.

For thousands of years, Xuanwu has been fed once, and then it can be stable for a year. Array? Let Xuanwu starve? Will this work?

Jiang Ming pinched his fingers and calculated, and said that according to the time we entered Tibet, the day before yesterday should have been stung, could it be that the annual sting is the time for Xuanwu to feed? He turned around and asked the fat man, tomorrow is March 5th? The fat man said how do I know, we are Taoist priests who remember the lunar calendar. I feel that I don't know the time under this underground, and I just want to eat when I'm hungry, and I don't have a concept of time.

If tomorrow is a sting, it is the 28th day of the first month of the lunar calendar, it seems that the time is wrong. I said that we came from the brown sugar girl on the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar, walked for nine days, stayed in Danba for two days, and then went up the mountain to find Master Lobsang and should be stunned two days before entering the cave, and we stayed underground for two days.

Will the time underground go slower than the time we have on the surface? The fat man said suspiciously. Maybe, no matter how much it is, let's set up a formation. Jiang Ming and the fat man led these thirty people and moved the five elements materials to various directions.

Jiang Ming said that there are too few metallic materials, do you have metallic items on your body? Yes, there is, but they are all life-saving things, and they can't be used as array materials casually. In the end, I took out the six-character mantra token and said that this is useless, so let's use it to set up the formation.

Then Jiang Ming recited a spell in all directions, formed a formation, and retreated.

On the way, I asked what kind of formation it was? Jiang Ming said that it was the Five Elements Maze, and Xuanwu would wake up and find that there was darkness around him, and then he thought he had woken up early, so he continued to sleep. I said, is it okay to starve it like this? The fat man said it's okay, the thousand-year-old king is eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, and it can't die of hunger, and after a few decades, the formation fails, and it will wake up again.

In fact, there are a lot of disadvantages of this formation, if the eye of the formation is inadvertently destroyed and the magic circle fails, Xuanwu will wake up early. But that's for later, and I'll get to that later.

We followed the hunting party back to the Servants, and the tribesmen came out to greet them, and they were shocked to see Xuanru. However, there were only ten Xuanru, and the patriarch felt that he could fight, so he blew the horn and the whole clan gathered. When hundreds of tribesmen ran out with javelins and bows and arrows, and saw that the hunting party of twenty people was intact, and followed by the patriarch's youngest son, they realized that the situation was not right.

Jiang Ming greeted him and explained the situation to the patriarch, who turned around and announced that he had formed an alliance with Xuanru. The servants were stunned for a moment and cheered, it seemed that peace was the most popular everywhere.

After resting and recuperating in the Servants, we set off again after eating.

This time, I went to Huoshen Mountain, the habitat of the Vermilion Bird Firebird, which is hundreds of kilometers, and the road is long and dangerous. Jiang Ming said that it was necessary to streamline the personnel. Let the Servant Clan and the Xuanru Clan each select five people to be guides. The head of the Xuan Rutou picked out four people, and let the remaining six go back.

Here, the head man also set off with four elite hunters. Jiang Ming asked the two clans to take turns to be the pioneers to explore the way, and if we can't figure it out, we will take action again. All the way through dangerous streams, climbing mountains, crossing deep rivers, drilling jungles, fighting savages, fighting monsters, and seeing many strange beasts on the road, all of which are different from those on the ground. Jiang Ming said that this place may be a lost continent of the Shan Hai Jing.

There were several times when I saw the Suzaku Firebird flying overhead. After exhausting the two tribes, they finally saw Huoshenshan from a distance.

Huoshenshan is an active volcano that has small eruptions from time to time, but it does not have much impact on the surrounding vegetation. The crater is the habitat of the Suzaku and a large flock of Suzaku flies in and out from time to time. Take turns to send light in all directions.

It turns out that this Huoshenshan is the place that provides heat and light to the underworld. A small amount of eruption can emit heat and provide carbon dioxide and sulfide so that nearby plants can grow. When the Vermilion Bird Firebird goes out to feed, it provides light and photosynthesis to various plants and animals.

The balance of this underground space cannot be broken, otherwise a link in the food chain will suddenly be broken, it will cause a great impact, a large number of living things will die, and it will take tens of thousands of years to rebuild the balance.

Looking at the Huoshen Mountain in the distance, the three of us had a meeting to discuss how to find a lone Suzaku and trap it, and then I went up to beat its soul out. Jiang Ming sent the people of the two tribes out from different directions to observe the living habits of the Vermilion Bird Firebird, and reported to us if there were any differences.

I waited for a few days, and on this day we were eating barbecue, and a spearhead ran over, and I turned my head to look at the head of the Servant Clan. When the leader of the Servant tribe heard what he had said, he said that the team of the Xuanru tribe had found a bird's nest with several eggs in it, and one of them had hatched.

Jiang Ming heard the great joy and said that this is good, if the soul is beaten out, it will be clean, and the adult Vermilion Bird Firebird has its own memory, which is not easy to grasp. Then we set out and let the Xuanru people lead the way. All the way to a steep canyon, in the shadows there were a few Xuanru tribesmen, who were pointing a few hundred meters above their heads.

We discussed it, and it was still the old way, let Jiang Ming ride the poor strange beast to the sentry, and found that the mother bird was back, so he teased and lured away. The fat man and I caught the little chick, and I punched out the soul and put it in the warp tube and retreated.

Jiang Ming let the two clans disperse, control the wind around, and sound the alarm if there was a situation. Then he rode up to the bird's nest on the poor beast, and hid in the shadows, and when the mother bird returned, she flew out and drew it away.

The fat man and I climbed up and came to the huge bird's nest, carefully hiding in a dark place near the bird's nest and watching. At the mouth of Huoshenshan in the distance, a large flock of Vermilion Firebirds were playing, and we gently touched the bird's nest.

This bird's nest is so big that it is estimated to be five meters in diameter and more than one meter high. I saw three basketball-sized eggs in the middle, and one of them had cracked. There are also many colorful and beautiful feathers around, which are probably used by the mother bird to keep the eggs warm.

The fat man walked over to the cracked egg and crouched down to inspect it, and reached in with both hands to pull out a fat ball of meat. The little guy who hadn't even opened his eyes yet, the huge beak was translucent, and there was no hair on his body yet. The fat man held it in his arms and cared for it carefully, and the little fat bird did not struggle.

He said Daheng, such a cute fat bird, don't beat it to death. I said don't worry, Master Lausanne said, recite the six-character mantra, and shoot while reading, its soul will be unstable and will float out. Then put its soul into the prayer wheel and you're done.

After saying that, I began to recite the six-character mantra, and with luck in my hand, I slapped it on the head of the little fat bird. The little fat bird struggled for a moment, and a translucent white gas floated from its head. I pocketed the prayer wheel, and the white gas went in, put it away, and looked around.

I said fatty, it's okay, you put it down. Watching the fat man put the little fat bird into the eggshell, I grabbed a handful of beautiful feathers and put them in my arms. Climbed out of the bird's nest and climbed down the cliff.

I went down to the flat ground, and I waited for the fat man for a while before he swallowed slowly. We gathered the two tribes to prepare to go back, and this mission was completed well, and I didn't expect it to go well, and I got the soul without any danger. Jiang Ming flew down on a poor strange beast, and asked anxiously how it was?

I smiled and said it was done, and this time it went well. Jiang Ming and the fat man were very happy, and then let the two clans open the way in front of them, and the victory class returned to the dynasty! Jiang Ming and I followed the people in front, the fat man fell behind, and when I was about to enter the forest, I turned around and said that the fat man should go faster, don't grind.

I accidentally raised my eyes and saw a big Vermilion Firebird flying back to the nest, I stood still and watched, Jiang Ming said what to see? The Suzaku Firebird suddenly let out a very miserable cry, which alarmed the large group of firebirds at the mouth of the volcano.

The big Vermilion Firebird clucked and screamed, and then led a large flock of Firebirds to fly in our direction, sprinkling flames all the way, and the ground was a sea of fire, and it burned whatever it saw. I said Jiang Ming, maybe we are in trouble again.

The two tribes turned around and asked why they didn't leave? Jiang Ming turned around and said loudly, you guys scatter and run for your lives! How far to run, how far to run! Then the ten men saw the firebirds coming all the way, and they were so frightened that they rushed desperately into the forest and fled in all directions.

Jiang Ming watched the ten people flee away, so he grabbed the fat man's shoulder and shouted, What is hidden in your arms? The fat man was struggling with his arms in his arms, his eyes dodging.

"Little Black!! Come out!! It's time to start! Jiang Ming shouted desperately! The sound echoed throughout the valley.
