Connecting the front hall and the main hall is an empty field, in the middle of which is a road paved with broken gold marble extended by the stone court incense lamp, and Feng Huo remembers that every time he came to the Nanzhejiang Palace, he couldn't help but stop here. Back in the beginning, when the night was approaching, the incense lamps were lit, the candles on both sides were shining, and the sandalwood was curling, like a bridge to the fairyland. But now this place is ruined into this scene, when the fairyland turns into purgatory, the prosperity is only desolate, and those good things can only be sealed in his memory.

The distance from the front hall to the main hall was unusually quiet, and there was not a single mourning ghost encountered. This sudden change made Ouyang Hongye and them feel uneasy, only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard in the lifeless air, and even the screams of the remaining mourning ghosts in the front hall gradually disappeared behind them, making people feel a sense of danger and uncertainty on the way forward.

The door of the main hall was closed, and Momiji pushed it tentatively, and the door loosened slightly, and he was just about to push the door to enter, but there was a sound like a drum from inside the door. The sound was obviously different from the sound made by the mourning ghosts, although it was not harsh but more penetrating, and every low drum beat shook Ouyang Hongye's heart.

"There's got to be something in there." Mochizuki cast a questioning glance at Ouyang Hongye and whispered.

"Listen!" Ouyang Hongye also felt that the drum beat was becoming more and more violent, and it was speeding up.

"Is there anything that can coexist with a Mourning Eater?" Mochizuki asked.

Wind and fire fell into deep thought, it can't be ...... I hope not, it's a monster that only appears in legends, and no one who has seen it has survived, how could they happen to meet it in Nanzhejiang? It was really helpless to enter the ghost city of mourning, and their luck was not so bad, right? He shuddered, even a strong man like him, who had been born and died, every hair on his back stood up.

The mythical creature born from the darkness is a non-demonic monster born of fear and death, its body is piled up with the souls of countless ghosts, its body is transformed by a whole mass of insects and ants, and it grows itself by devouring everything. Its breathing is heavy like a drum, and when its prey is in its range, its breathing becomes more rapid and heavy. It has a huge body, immense, powerful, with the head of a lion and an eagle, with a pair of extended wings on its back, and a tail as tight as an iron pestle behind it. It is the dark monster that only exists in legends, the Black Lion Hippogriff.

Ouyang Hongye caught the change in Feng Huo's expression, he also thought of this legendary monster, and knew how difficult this guy was to deal with, according to legend, as long as he encountered it, it was difficult to survive. He weighed it, wondering how big this black lion eagle beast had grown? Think about it again, why the mourning ghosts outside will automatically avoid and not enter the main hall of Nanzhejiang Palace? He seemed to understand that it was because this was the lair of this black lion eagle beast, and coming here would automatically become its food in its mouth and on its plate, and the mourning ghosts in the palace probably did not stay here voluntarily, they were most likely captured by it for later enjoyment.

"Looks like we've made it worth!" Ouyang Hongye said to Fenghuo.

"Yes, I didn't expect that I would be able to see the legendary monster in my lifetime." Fenghuo also seems to have mastered some of Ouyang Hongye's ridicule.

"Haha, it looks like we'll only go in for a while!" Ouyang Hongye said lightly that the change in Fenghuo's attitude made him feel much more relaxed from the inside out.

"Well, even if we want to turn around and run away now, it's impossible to run away, we've been locked in the range of the hunt by it. Did you listen to the roaring drums? This guy has eaten all the ghosts, and he may not have tasted fresh meat until now, so we say haha, what a delicacy it should be! "Fenghuo is no longer holding a shelf, but naturally expressing his thoughts.

"What kind of monster is it? Don't talk to yourself, you two, tell me about it! After listening to the conversation between Fenghuo and Ouyang Hongye, Mochizuki didn't know the name of it at all.

"We'll be able to see the Black Lion Eagle Beast with our own eyes today!" Ouyang Hongye said calmly.

"Oh my God! Really? Mochizuki couldn't have thought of this name at all, and now he was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard it.

"Today, we can be legends too." Ouyang Hongye looked at the moon and seemed to be so nervous that he was almost speechless, and squeezed his eyes playfully.

"Legend has it that even the gods are hard to deal with? One of the number one prisoners locked up in Black Fire Purgatory? I didn't expect that Nanzhecheng still needs something today. Mochizuki returned to his usual uninhibited speech.

"To be honest, if the three of us want to defeat this guy, we need enough luck." Ouyang Hongye said emotionally, "If we are unlucky, any or all of us will be reimbursed here." I just wanted to say that it's been a pleasure to walk with you all the way and be companions and brothers! ”

The word "brother" undoubtedly made Fenghuo feel sensational, although he was stubborn and arrogant, but he was also emotional, listening to Hongye's words, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, "I don't have any regrets, if it weren't for you not to give up, I would have died in Huangquan just now, anyway, this life was picked up by you, and it has been lived for so many years, it is worth it!" ”

"If we can return to the royal city safely with the Heavenly Rune, we must have a good drink." Mochizuki touched the place where he was holding the flask in his arms and said.

"Okay, fight side by side today, and don't get drunk tomorrow." Ouyang Hongye nodded.

The three of them looked at each other, made up their minds, and stepped forward side by side to push open the door of the main hall of the Nanzhejiang Palace. Although the light outside the palace is extremely gray, it still brings a glimmer of light to the main hall. The heavy dust in the main hall fell like snowflakes, and it was shaken by the heavy drum beat and fluttered and swirled in the air, and there was a bit of the vigorous beauty of the snow drifting in the northern country. But now is the time of life and death, and they have no leisure to sigh about this.

"Be quiet, don't make a noise!"

"Why can't you see it, where the hell is it hiding?"

"It's too dark to see anything here......"

Ouyang Hongye and Wind and Fire burst in front, and after the moon was broken, they looked back and forth inside. With the light coming in from outside, and the chaos in all directions, they tried to search for the huge figure in the darkness. However, when they glanced at it, it was not there, which made it even more shocking. Where the hell is that guy hiding? Will it suddenly attack and tear the three of them to pieces? They knew in their hearts that with its sharp claws, it should be as easy to shred them as it was to shred paper.

Following the still roaring drumbeat, Ouyang Hongye cautiously searched for it, and when he looked up, he found the scene he didn't want to see. At the top of a pillar in the main hall, there was a huge black figure, which turned out to be the black lion eagle beast they had expected.

Its body was pitch black and shiny, as if it were one with the hall, and it tilted its head to reveal only a round orange-yellow eye, staring at the three of them without moving. The huge wings kept flicking and closing, and each feather stood as upright as it had been before the attack, as if it were about to swoop down from the heights with a hurricane at any moment.

Looking at this posture, Ouyang Hongye didn't dare to slack off, standing in a horse step, holding their respective weapons, their nerves tightened, waiting to meet its attack.

But the black lion eagle didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, as if waiting for the movement of its prey, this was probably the first time it had seen such a living life since it came to this world, not the rotten and dry mourning ghost it ate every day. From its open eyes, in addition to the desire for prey and blood, there was a bit of indescribable curiosity, but more of an indescribable pain.

Ouyang Hongye glanced at the other two, meaning not to rush to attack the Black Lion Eagle Beast, and the two sides entered a stalemate. After a while, most of the ferocity and vigilance in the eyes of the black lion eagle beast disappeared, in exchange for more vigorous curiosity, and even a little childish innocence.

"Looks like this guy is just a cub!"

Ouyang Hongye guessed that this black lion eagle beast was likely to be very young and had just taken shape. He sighed that even the young beast already had such a powerful body; On the other hand, they secretly rejoiced that God blessed them that they met a "child" who was still careless.

As he made eye contact with it, pondering his next move, the black lion swoop down from the pillar. Its wingspan was staggeringly large, stretching out several feet wide, stirring up the ash deposited in the temple, and suddenly blinding them with the red leaves.

When he opened his eyes again, the Black Lion Eagle Beast was already standing less than a meter in front of Ouyang Hongye. It tilted its head and stared at him with its open eyes, blinking from time to time, as if trying to communicate with him. This kind of confrontation made him a little overwhelmed, he didn't know whether to move or be still, and he didn't dare to put down the sword he was holding in his hand. He didn't know if the monster would be able to communicate with him, or maybe it would treat them as companions, and he didn't know why he had such a whimsical idea.

The black lion leaned its head over, sniffed at his face and body, and then pecked the sword in his hand with its sharp beak, making a crisp metallic sound.

He held his breath nervously, for fear that his slightest movement would annoy it. When he realized that it had no intention of attacking him, and did not know where he had the courage to please it, or simply to please it, he tentatively extended a hand to it.

At first, it retracted its head in some resistance, then stopped and let him put his hand on its head and stroke it. At a certain moment, it suddenly turned its head and exposed its other eye, which looked extremely terrifying, and the three people in front of it were stunned. It turned out that the eyelid of that eye was hooked by a metal hook, which ran from its upper eyelid to its lower eyelid, making it impossible to open its entire eyelid. They didn't know how the metal hook got into its eye, but it was clearly the one that made it miserable, and that's why it had lost its wildness and become so obedient.

Ouyang Hongye understood, it was asking for his help, he didn't understand why this guy chose himself. Relying on his courage, he slowly tried to step forward, carefully grasped one end of the hook, pulled it out little by little along its arc, and gently comforted it in his mouth: "Okay, it's almost ready...... Bear with me, little one......"

After pulling out the metal hook completely, he took out the guaiac medicine from his arms, lifted the dirty clothes of the mourning eater that was still covering his body, tore a piece of cloth from his clean clothes inside, dipped some medicine powder and gently applied it to its wound, while applying magic magic to promote the healing of the wound.

When everything was ready, it looked like it had changed from its previous languishing state, relaxed and satisfied, and happily gurgled from its stomach, as if it had recognized Ouyang Hongye's existence. But it merely recognized his presence, and it turned to look at the other two men with hostility, and its mouth whined loudly, which might have provoked them.
