Chapter 661: Five years
When night fell, the territory of the Vermilion Bird Protoss was brightly lit, as if it were day.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao, under the guidance of Huo Xi and Xiao Yi, walked through layers of exquisite palaces and corridors, and finally came to a courtyard with a quiet environment.
It is full of greenery and flowers, and a small pavilion sits on the edge of a pond with fish swimming and lotus flowers blooming on the water.
"Big brother, Sister Qingyao, this is the courtyard where you live temporarily."
Xiao Yi enthusiastically introduced.
"This courtyard is usually uninhabited, but it has been taken care of, so it is very clean."
Huo Xi also added: "Yes, the environment here is one of the best in the entire Vermilion Bird Divine Clan, so eldest brother and Sister Qingyao can live in peace." ”
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao looked at each other and smiled, very satisfied with this residence.
After the two thanked Xiao Yi and Huo Xi, they began to look around the courtyard.
At this moment, a burst of aroma came to my nose.
I saw several maids of the Suzaku clan walking in with exquisite dishes.
Huo Xi explained with a smile: "This is a unique delicacy of our Vermilion Bird Clan, called 'Phoenix Feast', these dishes are made with precious spiritual materials and the flesh of divine beasts, which are not only delicious, but also have great benefits for the body. ”
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao suddenly became interested when they heard this, they sat down and began to taste these delicacies.
Each dish amazes them, not only with a great taste, but also with a rich spiritual power that will leave them with an endless aftertaste.
In the process of tasting the food, Xiao Yi and Huo Xi also continued to tell Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao the history and interesting stories of the Vermilion Bird Divine Clan.
The four of them had a very happy conversation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After being full of wine and food, Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao decided to take a walk in the courtyard to eat.
They walked on the tree-lined path, feeling the peace and beauty of the night.
The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, as if they were draped in a silver gauze.
At night, the breeze blows lightly, with a faint scent of flowers and the freshness of leaves.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao walked side by side, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
In their busy cultivation and adventures, they rarely have the opportunity to take a leisurely walk like this.
"Qing Yao, what kind of challenges do you think there will be in this Ten Thousand Beasts Trial?"
Zhou Qiankun broke the silence, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the night.
Qing Yao tilted her head slightly, and the moonlight sprinkled on her beautiful face, adding a bit of hazy beauty to her.
She said softly: "The trial of the Great Beast Emperor will naturally not be simple, but I believe that as long as we work together, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. ”
When Zhou Qiankun heard this, a warm current surged in his heart.
He turned his head to look at Qing Yao, his eyes flashing with determination.
"You're right, we've gone through countless trials along the way, and we'll definitely be able to pass this time."
The two looked at each other and smiled, each other's hearts full of anticipation and confidence for the future.
They continued to stroll through the courtyard, their footsteps echoing in the silent night.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkled in every corner, illuminating their path.
Not far away, a small pavilion comes into view. Zhou Qiankun proposed: "Let's go sit there." ”
Qing Yao nodded in agreement, and the two walked to the pavilion together.
Sitting in the pavilion, they looked at the sparkling water of the pond and felt the peace and beauty of the night.
"Brother Qiankun, Sister Qingyao!"
A crisp sound broke the silence of the night, and Xiao Yi and Huo Xi ran over.
"Why are you here?"
Qing Yao asked with a smile.
"We're here to play with you!"
Xiao Yi blinked with big eyes and an innocent face.
Huo Xi also smiled: "Yes, we Suzaku Clan also have a lot of interesting activities at night, do you want to go and see it together?" ”
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao glanced at each other and readily agreed to their invitation.
So, in this quiet night, the figures of the four disappeared into the moonlight and headed for the unknown nightlife of the Suzaku clan.
In the territory of the Vermilion Bird Protoss, night does not mean silence.
On the contrary, when night falls, countless bright lights are lit up, as if another city of day is rising in the darkness.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao, under the leadership of Xiao Yi and Huo Xi, went deep into this mysterious and lively night world.
They first came to a huge square, where hundreds of Suzaku people gathered.
In the center of the square, a raging flame floats in the air without any fuel support, and it emits a warm glow that illuminates the entire square.
"This is the sacred fire square of our Suzaku clan."
Xiao Yi proudly introduced.
"Every night, the tribe gathers here for various ceremonies and performances."
As Xiao Yi said, the people in the square are singing or dancing, some are performing mysterious sacrificial ceremonies, and some are performing wonderful martial arts.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao were invited to join them, and they sang and danced with the Vermilion Bird people, feeling the enthusiasm and vitality of this group.
Afterwards, they came to a bustling night market street.
It is filled with stalls selling everything from spiritual herbs and elixirs to exotic animal bones.
Xiao Yi and Huo Xi excitedly shuttled between the stalls, showing Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao what they thought were treasures from time to time.
Zhou Qiankun was attracted by a strangely shaped beast bone, and he felt that there was great power contained in it.
Qing Yao, on the other hand, had a soft spot for a spirit grass that emitted a faint fluorescence, and she felt that this spirit grass was of great help to her cultivation.
After visiting the night market, the four of them came to a place called "Xingchen Terrace".
This is an open-air stargazing platform, and the Suzaku people believe that by observing the movement of the stars, they can understand the way of heaven and earth.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao are both cultivators, and they also have some knowledge of the way of the stars, so they sat down here, looked up at the starry sky together, and exchanged their respective feelings.
It was late at night, but the territory of the Vermilion Bird Protoss was still brightly lit.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao, accompanied by Xiao Yi and Huo Xi, spent a full and pleasant night.
Not only did they gain an in-depth understanding of the culture and customs of the Suzaku people, but they also developed a deep friendship with this group.
When the dawn of a new day first appeared, Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao woke up in the courtyard.
They recalled the experience of last night, and their hearts were full of anticipation and warmth.
Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao temporarily settled in the Land of Ten Thousand Beasts, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
In the past five years, with the guidance and help of Zhou Qiankun and Qing Yao, Xiao Yi and Huo Xi have stepped through the threshold of the Holy King and reached the realm of demigods.
In the past five years, the Vermilion Bird Clan has been busy, and the God Exterminating Organization has been collecting the Holy Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts in various regions of the Beast Spirit Continent.
However, under the joint suppression of the Divine Beast Clan, they suffered heavy losses, and fell thirteen demigods and more than a hundred Saint Kings.
