Meanwhile.

In the northern part of the Yuxu swamp, Huazhi is in the midst of a bitter battle.

In mid-air, a large red bird with a wingspan of a foot long shook its wings in the air, shaking off countless long red feathers like flames, and its feathers burst into flames, turning into fist-sized fireballs, smashing towards the flower branches below.

Huazhi knew that he had nowhere to hide, and suddenly put his hands on the ground, and dozens of rattans around him instantly burst out of the soil. Intertwined, a purple-black rattan cage was woven around and above him.

In the next moment, the fireball collided with the rattan cage, and one after another exploded, and the scattered flames fell on the rattan, instantly turning it into a fiery fireball.

However, due to the fact that Hua Zhi had the "True Water Ring" given by Yuan Ming, an auxiliary magic weapon to protect his body, the flame did not really ignite the rattan, Rao was so, Hua Zhi did not dare to let the flame crawl back to his body along the rattan, and hurriedly threw the rattan cage to the side, withdrew his hands, and cut off the connection with the rattan.

The rattan cage that broke away from the flower branches lost the fire-fighting effect of the "True Water Ring", and burst under the burning of the flames, and the rattan stained with flames shattered to the ground, followed by a white smoke that was actually a swamp water vapor that was evaporated into fog by the high temperature of the flames.

In the steaming water, Hua Zhi heard a sharp phoenix chirping again, looked up, and saw that in the sky, the big red bird circled half a circle, and its body fell sharply and hit him directly.

Hua Zhi immediately dodged backwards, and at the same time, he waved his hands in front of him, and suddenly a burst of blue light flashed, and dozens of wooden flying swords were condensed, shooting out towards the red big bird.

However, the big red bird did not dodge or dodge, and collided with the flying sword.

The flying sword pierced into the body of the big red bird, but it pierced through the body like an illusory thing, without stopping at all, only taking away the sparks, and then burning the flying sword to ashes.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Hua Zhi immediately wanted to escape from the ground, but as soon as he made a move, he saw a talisman shoot out from a distance and fall to the ground not far away.

In an instant, within a few feet of the flower branch, the originally soft and moist earth was as hard as a rock, making it impossible for him to get into it.

Huazhi was helpless, so he could only cross his arms at the last moment, turning into a wooden shield in front of him, wanting to hit the red bird.

However, at the moment when the big red bird was about to collide with the flower branches, it completely disintegrated from head to tail, turning into several red flame chains, binding the flower branches into a strong knot.

The flowerbranch struggled immediately, but the more it struggled, the tighter the chains became, but for some reason, the chains showed no sign of spreading towards him, even though they were in flames.

"I can't imagine that you demon beast still has some means, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to have a solid earth talisman on my body, I'm afraid you would really have escaped."

Not far away, a young man wearing a red-striped dragon robe and a belt inlaid with gold and jade at his waist walked out of the woods.

The man's appearance is quite handsome, the bridge of the nose is high, the complexion is fair, and the eyes are as bright as a dancing flame, and his hair color is particularly special, it is black and red, and the hair is flowing, which makes him a little more bewitching as a man.

"Count yourself lucky today, there is a lack of a spirit pet by my son's side, from now on, you will follow this son." The man laughed.

"I already have a master!" Huazhi shouted in her heart, and her body couldn't help writhing

However, the man couldn't see Huazhi's voice, and said to himself: "Hehe, seeing you like this, you must be very happy, after all, you can follow me Di Chen, but it is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes." ”

At this moment, a white jade shuttle suddenly flew from the sky and landed not far away.

Yuan Ming stepped down from the shuttle and saw that the flower branch was bound by the flame chain, and immediately frowned, but after realizing that the flower branch seemed to be fine, he breathed a sigh of relief,

"This fellow Daoist, this is the spirit beast I have stocked here, I don't know where to anger the fellow Daoist, please raise your noble hand and let him go." Yuan Ming arched his hand towards Di Chen and said politely.

"Your spirit beast? Do you have a certificate? Di Chen looked at Yuan Ming. His brow furrowed slightly.

"Have you ever noticed the jade ring on his body? This is the fire-repellent weapon I left him. Yuan Ming said.

Hearing this, Di Chen pinched the law decision, and the flame chain that bound the flower branch wriggled like a long snake, and soon took off the true water ring on the flower branch.

"Tsk, you can give the spirit beast a high-grade magic weapon to defend yourself, it seems that you really love this spirit beast, but. This son also has a good relationship with him, why don't you make a price, how many spirit stones are willing to transfer him to me? Di Chen looked at the real water ring and asked.

Yuan Ming shook his head: "I'm sorry, for me, Huazhi is both a spirit beast and a partner, and it is by no means an object that can be valued with spirit stones." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Your Excellency thinks about it again, is it really not for sale?" Di Chen's eyes narrowed, and his spiritual power was surging.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming sighed, raised his right hand, and a green flying sword appeared out of thin air, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Di Chen.

Di Chen's eyes flashed, he pinched the trick with one hand, opened his mouth suddenly, and a small red bird flew out of his mouth, and with a flap of its wings, it swelled to a length of a zhang.

Yuan Ming no longer hesitated, silently pinched the sword trick with one hand, controlled the green flying sword to stab Di Chen, and at the same time, the other hand also pinched the spell and pointed at Di Chen's feet.

In an instant, four or five Aoki dragons broke through the ground and pounced towards Di Chen.

However, Di Chen was not afraid at all, and as soon as the magic trick in his hand changed, the red bird in the sky suddenly exploded, turning into dozens of flaming long swords, roaring down from the sky, nailing the wooden dragon to the ground.

At the same time, Di Chen's other hand also had an extra red long knife, and under his control, he was entangled in one place against the flying sword.

Yuan Ming saw that his attack was easily stopped by him, his face suddenly sank, Di Chen saw him like this, his face showed a touch of pride, and he just wanted to open his mouth to mock a few words, but he was suddenly shocked.

An unexplained chill climbed up Di Chen's back, he didn't think about it, and as soon as his right hand flipped over, a talisman pen was slapped on his body.

In the next moment, a red light suddenly lit up on his body, and the scorching waves of fire rippled like ripples, lifting off the black needles that attacked behind him.

If his reaction was a step slower, he would have been pierced by this black needle.

Di Chen looked at Yuan Ming with apprehension and said, "Good means." ”

Yuan Ming didn't answer at all, and while raising his hand to release King Kong, he wanted to cast a spell.

But at this moment, Di Chen's face changed suddenly, and he immediately recalled the crimson long knife and untied the chains that bound the flower branches.

"If you're lucky today, we'll fight another day." Di Chen put down a cruel word, and then took out the flying magic weapon and fled towards the east.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Ming suspected fraud, and did not step forward to catch up, nor did he relax his vigilance.

But after a long time, he didn't see Di Chen come back, or launch a sneak attack in secret.

He was puzzled in his heart, and was about to ask Hua Zhi about the situation, but suddenly, another red light fell from the sky and fell in front of Yuan Ming.

In the red light, a capable woman wearing a gold-rimmed fire-patterned robe and a ponytail walked out.

Her complexion is as white and flawless as jade, her slender willow eyebrows are covered by the pupils as deep as the stars, and her red lips are like a blooming red lotus, bright and dripping.

And her hair color is similar to Di Chen's, it is also black and red but not glamorous, but it adds a bit of sassy and heroic.

She glanced around and found the traces left by Di Chen's fight with Yuan Ming, and suddenly her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she arched her hand towards Yuan Ming.

"Dare to ask this fellow Daoist, did you just fight a man with a similar hair color to me?"

"Yes, halfway through the fight he suddenly ran to the east." Yuan Ming nodded.

"Sure enough, the younger brother has caused trouble to the Daoist, if the Taoist friend has a grievance, you can go to the Five Elements Inn in Xiaohu City to leave a message, just say that it is looking for the fire bird Gate Diyue, and when I catch the younger brother, I will definitely take him to the door to make amends." Before Di Yue finished speaking, his figure had already boarded the flying magic weapon, and when the word "sin" fell, he had already chased a distance of dozens of zhang in the direction where Di Chen had fled.

Yuan Ming looked at the red light that was flying away, and he was full of slander in his heart.

inexplicably got into a fight with someone, although she didn't really get angry, but this has no beginning or end, and it's really a little inexplicably depressed, and this sister is even more popular, and even talking is like being in a hurry.

It's just that the Fire Bird Gate is located in the east of Dajin, so why did it come to the vicinity of Xiaohu City now?

Yuan Ming's thoughts turned, and he turned his head to Hua Zhi and said, "I see that your injuries are almost over, so stay by my side recently, lest you encounter other monks who will take you away as a demon beast." ”

Hua Zhi wanted to refute that he was not so weak, but he was almost caught just now, and he couldn't say anything to defend himself, so he could only nod his head depressedly and say yes.

At this moment, on the tree not far away, King Kong jumped down, patted his chest at the flower branch, and let out an undisguised laugh:

"The bean sprouts were almost burned as firewood this time."

"Monkey, you have the ability to come out and fight with me!" Flower Branch was furious. Suddenly his teeth and claws danced.

"Alright, let's go back first." Yuan Ming said, and without waiting for the two to speak, he patted the storage bag on his waist and put away the flower branch and King Kong separately.

Only then did he shake his head and take the magic weapon and fly in the direction of Xiaohu City.

months later.

Outside the small lake city, the drizzle soaked the earth, and in the dark clouds, the thunder was like waves, hovering between heaven and earth.

However, in the sky today, in addition to dark clouds, there are sometimes magic weapons and streamers passing through the sky, falling in front of the city gate, like meteors falling to the ground, turning into monks in different clothes one after another.

Under the blue shield, today's Xiaohu City is also particularly lively.

There were many more monks on the street than in the past, and during the crowd, many monks wearing light blue robes with a four-square high-rise pattern painted on the back were directing the crowd and maintaining order in the city.

They are all the city lord's personal guards, and they are only responsible for guarding the city lord's mansion on weekdays, and it is difficult for the city residents to see them, and only on such an important day as now, they will appear on the streets, fill the vacancy of the city guard, and show the majesty and order of the city lord's mansion to the monks.

On both sides of the street, all the shops are hung with flowers in front of the door, and at the same time, they also invariably play a discount, signboards, this five folds, that four folds, all of them are a bloody look, but few people notice that the original price sign above their discount price seems to be a lot more expensive than usual.
