Chapter 262: Xiao Jiu Evolves, Xiao Zaojun!
After listening to the nine-tailed fox's narration, Luo He fell into a deep groan.
To put it simply, the legendary kitchenware [Suzaku Ding] consists of two parts.
And part of it, Zao Jun Ding, is the token left by Zao Jun in the ancient country of Qingqiu.
"Can I take a look at what Zao Junding looks like?" Luo He made a request.
The nine-tailed fox did not refuse, turned around and motioned for Luo He to follow, and led him to a stone wall.
Then, the nine-tailed fox's eyes lit up with a demonic purple light.
Under its gaze, the stone wall emitted a muffled 'boom' and rose upwards to reveal a secret passageway.
When Xia Sunian saw this scene, he was more and more surprised... There are many ancient mechanisms left in this ruin, which can also reflect the value of the ruin.
On the balance, he did not follow Luo He into the secret passage.
After all, the nine-tailed fox only trusts Luo He, and it is not necessarily a good thing to follow rashly.
In the secret passage, it was pitch black.
The nine-tailed fox stepped forward, and the light spread out in a circle from under its feet, illuminating the room.
In the room, there is a bronze sculpture, which is almost exactly the same as the 'Stove King' that Luo He saw in the Stove King Festival.
In front of the statue of Zaojun, a large bronze round tripod is placed in the center of the altar.
Three-legged and two-eared, the momentum is extraordinary, giving people a sense of solemnity.
The nine-tailed fox squatted beside him, lowered his gaze, and stared at Luo He, warning him not to go any further, just stand here and watch from a distance.
Luo He also obeyed the rules, secretly looked at the bronze round tripod, and felt that the power of his own space was faintly rippling.
This abnormal induction comes from the mutual echo of the legendary kitchenware.
In other words, the big round tripod in front of you is really a legendary kitchenware!
But just by the appearance of the bronze tripod, it is difficult to associate it with the [Vermilion Bird Ding].
Therefore, there is a high probability that the words of the nine-tailed fox are also true-
The Vermilion Bird Ding lost the Vermilion Bird Fire, and only the bronze Ding, a "Stove Jun Token", was left in the Qingqiu Ruins.
Luo He thought about it and said slowly:
"I think you can understand that as the inheritor of the Nong Emperor, I am collecting the legendary kitchenware, and I also have the obligation and mission to collect the farmer's kitchenware......"
The nine-tailed fox whimpered in a low voice, with extremely complex emotions in his voice:
"Woo ......" (I know, but guarding the token of the Stove King has also been the mission of our clan since ancient times.) )
"Can you leave this token to me and Xiao Jiu for safekeeping?"
Luo He said seriously: "I guarantee as the heir of Emperor Nong, I will definitely protect this [Zao Junding]!" ”
Thinking of the friendship of the other party to punish the murderer, he not only feasted himself, but also cured the disease... The nine-tailed fox sighed lightly and said:
"Whew." (I have one condition.) )
"On what terms?"
"Whew!" (Before you take away the Stove-kun token, cook a sacrifice for the stove-kun!) )
Luo He was slightly stunned.
At the end of the day, do you still have to cook?
But this is a fairly reasonable request ... If you want to take the inheritance, you naturally have to make a delicious reward stove gentleman!
Looking around, the space was spacious enough, Luo He nodded and said:
"Then I'll cook here."
He looked at the nine-tailed fox: "You can wait next to you for a while, there are Nong Emperor's kitchen utensils, and the sacrificial food will be ready soon." ”
The nine-tailed fox nodded silently and stepped aside, looking at Luo He who took out all kinds of kitchen utensils from the storage space.
To the surprise of the nine-tailed fox, Luo He had more than one legendary kitchenware...... It's four pieces!
The quaint and stocky basalt board, the black and white mysterious unicorn cabinet, the white Ze bottle containing the power of time, and a green dragon ladle that emits the light of green jade.
Luo He put the four pieces of kitchen utensils on the stove, took a deep breath, and called:
"Xiao Jiu, make a fire!"
Xiao Jiu responded and spat out a raging fire, and the orange-yellow stove fire was blazing.
Before the knife in his hand arrived, Luo He had to take the knife given by death to make up for the time being.
Speaking of which, the table knife is a very typical Western-style tableware, which is incompatible with this set of Chinese kitchenware made by Nongdi.
Luo He has reason to suspect that this Western-style tableware also has a separate set...... But there were no clues, so I had to take it as a guess.
There are still some essences left of the pufferfish ingredients just now.
Luo He originally wanted to keep it and go back to enjoy it for himself, but now that it is used as a sacrifice, he will definitely be able to pass the test in terms of quality.
This ingredient is called "pufferfish white seed".
Shirako cuisine is a unique delicacy that is known as 'so delicious that it hurts your stomach'.
Shirako is actually the seminal vesicle of a pufferfish, which is surprising when you first hear about it, but its plump and silky texture is as creamy as it is, and it is a surprising delicacy whether it is roasted or steamed in a tea bowl with eggs.
The white tea bowl is steamed, this is the appetizer prepared by Luo He.
As for the meat dishes, there are still some fresh reed chickens left in the Kirin cabinet, and the taste will not disappoint.
As for the main course, Luo He still remembers that at the Zaojun Festival, Zaojun was particularly fond of a dish of [Brown Sugar Baked Cakes], and this time he also planned to offer brown sugar baked cakes.
As for the finishing dessert...... That is naturally what Xiao Jiu and Zao Jun both love to eat, glazed snake fruit.
Outside the secret room.
Xia Su Nian smelled the fragrance wafting through the secret passage, and couldn't help but be stunned.
What the situation... Is this eating again?
No, I'll have to go in and have a look!
Xia Sunian made up his mind, held the compass instrument in his hand, and walked to the secret room.
Meanwhile.
In front of the altar, curling smoke rises, and the white tea bowl steamed over high fire is the first to be baked.
The steamed eggs are moist and smooth, and the white seeds on the top give it a delicious taste.
Not long after, the fried chicken was fished out of the oil pan by Luo He, golden and crispy, sprinkled with pepper and salt, and the meat was fragrant.
Xiao Jiu controlled the heat, which accelerated the steaming process, and the brown sugar baked cakes for the main dish were quickly baked.
The three dishes of steamed white tea bowl, fried whole chicken, and brown sugar baked cakes are put together, and the heat is intertwined into an irresistible aroma.
The last glazed snake fruit, although honey is added, is unexpectedly refreshing and greasy, which can perfectly complement the whole sacrificial feast.
The altar was full of dishes.
Luo He nodded with satisfaction and looked back at the nine-tailed fox: "Is this okay?" ”
The nine-tailed fox's eyes flickered, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
I've eaten a lot just now, but I still want to eat!
Wisps of heat from the sacrificial food gradually drifted towards the statue of Zao-kun.
The chubby nine-section wolf statue seemed to suddenly become vivid.
Luo He wondered if he was wrong.
Take a closer look, the statue of Zaojun really blinked!
"Huh?" Luo He's eyes widened.
On the stove, four pieces of legendary kitchen utensils vibrated and made a jingling sound.
Xiao Jiu looked up in surprise, only to see that the statue of the Stove King exuded a faint golden light, which was very similar to the scene at the Stove King Festival!
"Huh?"
Xiao Jiu rubbed his eyes and opened them vigorously.
I saw a chubby nine-section wolf sitting on the altar, with an auspicious cloud pattern on his body, and his limbs burning with inextinguishable golden flames, enjoying the sacrificial food!
"Huh!"
Xiao Jiuda was shocked and raised his hands... The seniors actually appeared again!
The nine-tailed fox froze in place, its mouth wide open, and there was a deep shock in its eyes.
The statue of the stove king is actually alive, alive?!
Outside the secret room, Xia Sunian walked in, suddenly stopped his steps, and stared at the figure on the altar incredulously.
Am I dreaming?
Kala–
Xia Sunian excitedly clenched the compass instrument in his hand.
I'll go, it's true, the stove has appeared again!
Luo He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the stove king on the altar, and said with a smile:
"See you again."
Zao-kun bit the brown sugar cake, with sugar juice on the side of his mouth, and squinted and nodded happily.
Luo He said: "You are from ...... Celestial Run Down? ”
Zao Jun nodded, stood up on the altar, and pointed to the bronze tripod with his finger, and then pointed at Luo He.
"You want me to take this big ding away?" Luo He said in surprise.
Zao Jun smiled and beckoned to Xiao Jiu again.
With a little surprise and nervousness, the red-haired beast slowly approached the stove king.
The next moment, Zao Jun stretched out his little chubby hand and gently tapped it on Xiao Jiu's forehead.
In a flash.
Xiao Jiu's forehead lit up a little auspicious cloud group case similar to Zao Jun.
The auspicious cloud pattern burned with golden flames, like a magical mark of surging power, steaming up an amazing heat wave.
For a moment, Xiao Jiu was in the golden flames, sensing the energy oscillating in his body, standing on his feet, and suddenly clenching his fists.
Rumble!!
A raging fire erupted under its feet, forcing Luo He, Xia Sunian, and the Nine-Tailed Fox to retreat outside the ring of fire.
With a plate of fried chicken on his head, he held other dishes on his hands and arms, avoiding the flames without danger.
Action...... It's a bit cute.
The abnormal changes that occurred in Xiao Jiu's body made the nine-tailed fox look surprised, and Xia Sunian was stunned and said:
"Is this going to- evolved!?"
Luo He held his breath and stared at Xiao Jiu in the skyrocketing firelight, always paying attention to Xiao Jiu's energy changes.
Xiao Jiu's momentum continued to rise, and with the blessing of the auspicious cloud imprint, he broke through the quasi-overlord level in an instant and reached the bottleneck of the overlord level.
Luo He originally thought that this was already Xiao Jiu's limit.
However, Zao-kun put down the plate, breathed a sigh of relief, and then exhaled a flame towards Xiao Jiu.
The feeling that this flame gave Luo He was the same as the feeling of oppression when the turtle predecessor released his moves......
Combined with Bai Zetu's intelligence, it was the Xuantian Fire provided by Xuantian Si Ming!
The Xuan Huo poured into Xiao Jiu's body, like a blazing fire cooking oil, and instantly lit up Xiao Jiu's tail ring.
Xiao Jiu raised his hands high in the flames, and the purple coercion of the Nine Sections of Wolf Fury was also dyed with golden light at this moment!
Rumble!!
Evolution complete.
Luo He looked at the imposing Xiao Jiu and was shocked.
The growth level has broken through to the overlord realm, and the first overlord-level member of the team is born!
After the evolution, the auspicious cloud mark on Xiao Jiu's forehead gradually dimmed, and his appearance did not change much compared to the original. But the flame it ignited was golden, with an indestructible breath, like a stove fire lit by thousands of households.
Luo He sighed secretly.
This wave ah, this wave is a major version update, and Xiao Jiu has been greatly enhanced!
[Pet Beast Name: Xiao Zaojun]
【Attribute: Fire】
[Growth Level: Inferior Overlord]
[Race Level: High Overlord]
[Description: A pet beast evolved from the nine-section wolf who mastered the stove, as the chef's best helper, can increase the quality of the dish.] Its vitality is as strong as a stove, and it can be lit wherever there is a stove. 】
Luo He touched his chin.
Xiao Jiu didn't know when he mastered the stove...... Probably because I've been letting it help light the fire?
In any case, the improvement in strength is real.
Xiao Jiu became the first overlord-level pet beast in the team, awakening two quasi-god-level moves.
[Cooking Oil with Fire]: A quasi-god-level move. Summons a sea of fire that kills and incinerates enemies in an area-of-effect manner.
[Zhong Ming Ding Food]: A quasi-god-level move. Summons a large tripod to fall from the sky, and the big tripod will continue to exist after it is smashed, sending out a shock wave and aura at the same time.
The Shockwave continuously damages nearby enemies, and Radiance restores to nearby teammates. (This move requires an item to be cast.) )
Luo He sighed.
The inheritance of Stove Jun is really fierce enough, and it directly increases Xiao Jiu's skill pool by two quasi-god levels!
The first blazing cooking oil, a simple and crude fire AOE move.
The second ultimate gives Luo He a subtle sense of "summoning meteorites from the sky......
And this [Zhong Ming Ding Food] is obviously matched with [Zao Jun Ding], and only in this way can the strongest power of the move be exerted.
Luo He exhaled a breath, calmed Xiao Jiu's sense of joy after evolution, looked at the stove Jun who was eating a lot, and thanked:
"Thank you very much for your help...... Without you, I don't think Xiao Jiu would have been able to evolve at this time. ”
With a smile on his face, Zao Jun picked up the brown sugar cake in his hand and shook it, then shook his head vigorously.
It probably means that this food is delicious, and Zao-kun is quite satisfied!
Luo He smiled and said:
"If you have a chance, please try my craft next time!"
Zao Jun stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and the bronze dome in front of the statue was bathed in golden light, floating out of thin air.
Immediately, the bronze dome gradually shrunk to the size of a handicraft, and gradually fell into Luo He's palm.
Luo He was slightly stunned, looked at the stove Jun Yuanding in his hand, and tightened his palm.
Immediately, he raised his gaze and bowed deeply towards Stove Jun:
"Don't worry, Xiao Jiu and I will definitely take good care of Zao Junding!"
"Huh!"
Xiao Jiu raised his hands.
Whoever wants to snatch it away will eat me first with a nine-section wolf rage!
Zao-kun smiled slightly.
Luo He heard its telepathy and said:
"I hope you can find the [Vermilion Bird Fire] and let Emperor Nong's Vermilion Bird Ding see the light of day again."
So, is the Suzaku Fire a separate prop?
Luo He thoughtfully, nodded silently, and agreed to Xia Zaojun's request.
A golden glow.
On the altar, the figure of the stove monarch seemed to disappear, leaving only an empty plate and a cold statue.
But the overlord-level aura exuded by Xiao Jiu, and the small stove in his hand, proved everything just now.
Luo He stopped for a long time, exhaled a breath, and put Zao Junding into the jade pendant with his backhand.
Looking back, I saw that Xia Sunian's face was full of shock and emotion.
Xia Sunian sighed: "I really didn't expect that Xiao Jiu would be able to evolve again!" ”
On the side, the nine-tailed fox was full of awe for Xiao Jiu... The Stove Monarch awarded the token to the Nine Sections Wolf, and its identity inherited by the Stove Monarch is beyond doubt!
"I didn't expect that this trip to Qingqiu Ancient Country would have an unexpected gain......
Luo He glanced at Xiao Jiu.
Not only did Xiao Jiu successfully evolve and awaken powerful moves, but he also obtained information about Zao Junding and legendary kitchenware.
Next, it's time to go back to Yunling and have dinner with Bai Ze's seniors and turtle seniors.
The whereabouts of the Vermilion Bird Fire, Bai Ze should know something.
As for the turtle senior...... Luo He looked up at the sky.
I can't wait to see the shocked scene when the turtle seniors see Xiao Jiu!
