Yandi Shennong Cave, it is rumored to be the hometown of Yandi Shennong, as early as I don't know how many tens of thousands of years ago, this ancient god was here to taste a hundred herbs, tame a hundred beasts, of course, more precisely, it is the existence of the creation of the beast race.

First of all, let's talk about the worldview of the fairy sword world.

In the primeval period, heaven and earth were in a closed state of 'chaos', and an existence called 'Pangu' was born in the middle.

Pangu's body continued to grow, but the original chaotic state was broken up because it could not contain his body, and the heavens and the earth were opened—the 'pure qi' rose to the sky, and the 'turbid qi' settled to the earth. After Pangu's death, his essence, qi, and god were differentiated into three innate gods, namely Fuxi, Shennong, and Nuwa, which was called the 'Three Emperors' by later generations. The 'spiritual power' originally contained in Pangu's body was dispersed and decomposed into the 'five spirits' of water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth, which were scattered between heaven and earth.

Because there were too few living beings in heaven and earth, the three emperors created living beings in different forms.

Fu Xi took the fruit of the divine tree absorbing the pure qi of the divine realm as his body, injected his powerful energy, and created a 'god'. Due to the scarcity of the source of the Divine Tree fruit, the number of gods is extremely small, but the spiritual power is powerful. God is intolerant of the turbidity of the earth, so he dwells in the heavens and forms the 'divine realm'.

Shennong uses the earth, earth, rocks, plants and trees as the body, and pours his own strength to create 'beasts', including beasts and insects. Because Shennong pays attention to quantity and ability, there are many types and numbers of beasts, and their abilities are diverse, but their minds are not enlightened or relatively simple, and they don't have so much thought.

Nuwa mixes soil and water, attaches her own blood and spiritual power, and uses willow branches to light it up, shaping it according to her own appearance to create a 'human'. The body is beautiful and intelligent, but the physical strength is inferior, and although there is no special ability, it has a strong comprehension.

…… Then the question arises.

What is the relationship between the demon clan and the beast clan now? Does it have anything to do with Shennong?

It's really related, but it's not directly related, just as human beings will become 'immortals' if they succeed in cultivating immortals, and the beast race becoming a demon race is also a kind of evolution, which belongs to the sublimation of the essence of life form.

It's just that before Shennong disappeared, the beast clan was still a beast race, until he could no longer stand the greed and oppression of the gods and men, and resisted under the leadership of a ruler with extremely high intelligence, and only then did the traces of the demon race gradually appear.

It can be said that at least in this world, the real Demon Emperor is Chi You, but they are more nostalgic, and they still respect their creator very much, so in the end, Shennong is still respected as the Demon Emperor...... But it was true that until the disappearance of the venerable god, the demon clan had not yet appeared.

……

……

"Probably this is it...... Kikyo comes and sees, standing outside the cave doesn't feel anything at all, but as soon as you take a step inside, the scenery and temperature immediately change. Pei Chen beckoned the bellflower into the Yandi Shennong Cave.

Tall walls, deep roads, and boiling lava flowing, and earth fire rising. The unimaginable heat was confined to the cave and did not radiate to the outside world, and once one crossed the invisible but tangible dividing line, it was as if one had entered a melting pot of heaven and earth.

The terrifying heat on the way can definitely make a normal person dehydrate and faint in just an hour or two. Not only did a water creature like Pei Chen feel unbearable heat as soon as he entered, and he almost wanted to turn around and leave, but even the bellflower frowned, the natural environment here was too restrained for her terracotta figurine.

Even the consumption of the dead soul began to increase, and if she didn't replenish it, she would only be able to move here for four or five days at most.

"The restraint of the environment is too great...... I knew that I wouldn't learn the water spirit fairy art first, but now the water spirit attribute is high, but it is just restrained. Pei Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, casually putting a layer of hazy water mist on his body and the bellflower to resist the invasion of the high temperature and heat of the outside world. Kikyo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Chen in some surprise.

She found that this guy's mastery and use of immortal arts, at least for water spirit immortals, was far beyond herself, and the skill tree that she only learned yesterday morning was now able to break free from the constraints of form and simply use the power of water spirits. Even Kikyo took several days to figure out the nature of this power, and it was not limited by the formed spell model.

Of course, it can also be said that it is caused by the fact that Kikyo is not familiar with the Five Spirits Immortal Technique, which is indeed a reason. But isn't Pei Chen's first contact with the theory and practical application of the Five Spirits Immortal Technique? Before, he only roughly knew that there was such a concept of a power system!

"Hmm, a layer of water mist can support more than half an hour or so, and it's just a few points of energy value expenditure, and the cost performance is not bad......" Pei Chen said with a smile, and then suddenly remembered something, his face became gloomy again, and he looked at the bellflower helplessly, "That, it seems that it can only relieve physical discomfort, but it can't completely relieve the problem of rapid consumption of dead souls, right?" ”

The shrine maiden bowed slightly, her shortcomings and weaknesses were too obvious.

"Okay, enter it here, there is the Moon Realm in the depths, it should be safe there, if we can find it, you can rest there for a while......" Pei Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter how bad it is, I have another way, all you lack is spiritual power, when the time comes, you only need a spiritual chain and then spiritual power sharing...... In that case, there will be about a quarter to a third of the unnecessary loss......"

"......" Kikyo hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

She had already heard Pei Chen say that the area of this place was estimated to be very large, and there were so many hidden secrets that even the monsters themselves couldn't determine how much time it would take to push the exploration progress to more than 50% - even if the Moon Realm, Solo Tree, Lava Beast King, and Burning Stone were all counted as 5% each, this would only be 20% of the progress!

In such a situation, it is definitely impossible for him to drag him back because he is embarrassed to accept the gift of spiritual power from the other party, but if he stays in a safe place all the time, it will definitely be impossible to collect task items, at best, it will still add an extra burden to Pei Chen.

"So, let's go...... I'll go! Where did this guy come from!? ”

Pei Chen, who had just raised his hand and was about to shout a slogan to boost his confidence, suddenly turned around and kicked sideways, slamming a fierce beast in the shape of a lion that pounced and swept out, and when the hundred-kilogram body flew out, the beast was shattered without even snorting, and the skull was shattered and died on the spot.

"This is? ......" Kikyo saw the hideous head of that thing, and immediately wondered, obviously the body is like a lion, why is the head so weird?! She had never seen such a species in her memory, although the monsters of the Warring States period were even more bizarre.

"I remember it was like ...... Hideous? It should be the name, right? Pei Chen didn't dare to kick the corpse of that thing unsurely, "I've never seen such a ferocious one, obviously my demonic energy has been emanating, but it still pounced......"

The bellflower understood what Pei Chen was talking about, and along the way, they would basically only be blocked by spiritless monsters like spirits.

Other monsters, monsters or simple beasts will respectfully avoid Pei Chen's demonic aura after feeling it, and even come over with food to curry favor, and occasionally meet a few real monsters with a very good attitude and can communicate, which fully makes the two of them feel why the demon clan is the most united and loving race in the fairy sword world.

But the beasts here are completely different, even if Pei Chen's aura is fully open, it doesn't buy it at all, and directly attacks, which is simply an incredible thing.

"It's not that you can't understand it, have you found it, there is no sign of demonic energy and demonic power on their bodies at all...... It is isolated from the world, and it is still the territory of Shennong, and it is estimated that there has been no change at all after so many thousands of years, and the creatures inside are still pure beasts...... At most, it is just a beast clan that has opened up spiritual intelligence, is strong, and can cultivate. ”

Pei Chen also figured it out, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that at most, they only know about the gods and humans that appeared in the same period, as for the demon race, what is it?" …… Heh, hehe, hehe. ”

"That's troublesome...... It seems like it's all pure beasts here, right? Kikyo frowned, he thought that with Pei Chen's identity, he would be able to reduce a lot of resistance in this place, but he didn't expect that this was completely useless, and he still had to fight.

"It's okay, I should have thought of it a long time ago, how could the promotion task be so simple...... If there is no resistance, even if this Yandi Shennong Cave is twice as big, I will be able to walk around it in half a week! Pei Chen didn't react much, he had expected this situation. I just don't know what kind of secret is hidden in this, and it will be suitable for me to complete the promotion task...... To be reasonable, Shennong's orc route doesn't match my route choice! If it's Chiyou, it's still possible......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a whimsical feeling: Could this place be connected to Chiyou Mound, or is it simply Chiyou buried here or something? After all, the battle of the deer in ancient times has passed, I don't know if it is tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years, and no one can tell the details of the situation at that time, but can only know a rough idea-

It was deliberately processed by Emperor Fuxi, and if it was said that there were no private goods mixed in it, Pei Chen would not believe it. Besides, the current gods of the Heavenly Realm seem to be the gods of the new generation, except for the ancient god-level existences such as the Dragon of the Candle and the Nine Heavens Xuannu, it is possible to truly experience the situation of the ancient war.

In such a situation, who knows where Chiyou died in the first place? If it is in the Yandi Shennong Cave, I'm afraid it's not impossible.

Pei Chen, who couldn't think of a reason, took the lead and walked to the depths of Shennong Cave, followed by bellflowers. However, both of them have increased their vigilance, the monsters in this place are really strange, all of them are fire attributes, and even some are still wandering around in the magma, they are immune to fire attributes and even absorbed, and many physical attacks will bounce back......

Although none of them became demons, they were more ferocious than many demon clans, and if they were put outside, they would be a small boss-level existence. The most troublesome thing is that there are many orcs who have been elementalized or semi-elemental, and they are close to an invincible state in a sense.

Although it is said that the water system immortal magic can cause great damage, but in this environment full of earth fire magma, the power of the water spirit in the air is simply pitiful, and the loss is too high if it is completely transformed by its own spiritual power.

Therefore, Pei Chen, the speed at which they moved forward was particularly slow.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the beast clan is indeed as simple as rumored, unless it is hungry and wants to hunt, otherwise it will not be interested in paying attention to Pei Chen and Kikyo, two species that have never been seen before.

For example, the path they are walking on now, there are magma lakes on both sides of the road, and there are more than a dozen crocodile-shaped creatures swimming around in circles there, at most, they are curiously swimming to the place where the two of them are at their feet, blowing bubbles in the magma to show two small eyes, and watching the two of them walk over blankly.
