Chapter 38: The Fishtail Golden Toad
Li Bai came back to his senses, and after knowing that he was too rude, he hurriedly let go of his embrace and returned to his former calmness.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm so excited! Are you alright?"
Then, Feng Qiu took a few deep breaths, and said as if relieved: "It's okay! It's okay! I was just taken aback by you! But what is the origin of this roulette, and why are you so excited when you see it?"
"It's a long story, I'll explain it to you slowly on the way!
After that, Li Bai glanced at the surface of the East China Sea, and saw that the center of the sea was not very peaceful, and his expression became solemn again.
Feng Qiu also saw the vision on the sea, and knew that those people from the East China Sea were about to chase after him, so he also asked Li Bai seriously: "Then where are we going now?"
"Luo Fenglin!"
Li Bai blurted out.
"Luo Fenglin?" Feng Qiu was slightly surprised, "You also go to Luo Fenglin?"
Luo Fenglin is one of the purposes of Feng Qiu's coming to Chishui Continent this time, but he doesn't want this Li Bai to go to Luo Fenglin too, but what is Li Bai going to Luo Fenglin to do, Feng Qiu thinks about it, but he can't figure it out.
However, no matter what Li Bai was doing, as long as he followed, he would know, so he didn't continue to ask more.
"Let's go! Don't let them catch up!"
So, the two said no more and left in a hurry together.
......
On the way to Luofeng Forest, Li Bai told Feng Qiu about his encounter with the six roulettes in Black Stone Mountain.
After Feng Qiu heard about what happened to Li Bai in Black Stone Mountain, he was very indignant at first, then very shocked, and finally sighed that he had met the inheritor of the Reincarnation Palace.
He thought that there would definitely be some adventures after Li Bai, so he followed Li Bai closely and waited patiently until the day when the adventure happened again.
In the end, the two walked for many days, and when they met a team of people who were also going to Luofeng Forest, Li Bai and Feng Qiu disguised themselves as their entourage and secretly followed them into Luofeng Forest.
Luofeng Forest, according to legend, is the place where the ancient mythical beast Suzaku fell, born from a nightmare of Suzaku, which grows rare rare elixirs in the world, and also follows the law of the law of the jungle, and lives many fierce demon beasts with brutal temperament and carnivorous, so few monks come.
In fact, even if a few monks come occasionally, they usually go and never return.
Therefore, this Luofeng Forest is also called a ghost phoenix forest by the monks, and they dare not approach it easily.
Now, I don't know why, this team of people dared to come in a group, what the purpose was, Li Bai couldn't guess.
However, in order to find out, and in order to be able to find the fishtail golden toad, Li Bai followed closely in the team and secretly began to investigate.
Then, near evening, the team followed by Li Bai settled in a clearing with a fairly open line of sight, ready to sleep overnight.
The open space for sleeping in the open space is in the extension of the forest, and there are not many demon beasts, so it is most suitable for the leader to choose to settle here.
But despite this, the leader still didn't feel at ease to live here, and ordered a few people under his command who knew the formation to set up layers of enchantments before returning to the middle of the camp with peace of mind.
And Li Bai and Feng Qiu belonged to the lowest-ranking accompanying monks, and they couldn't live in the middle of the camp, so they could only live on the periphery of the camp, always alerting to the surrounding movements.
After that, Li Bai and Feng Qiu simply ate something, and when they had nothing to do, they leaned against the trunk of a tree and prepared to close their eyes and rest.
And just as the two of them were about to close their eyes and recuperate, not far from them, the voices of several accompanying monks disturbed the purity of the two.
"Hey, you say, why did our head of the family come to this ghost phoenix forest in person? Didn't you hear that there is no return here?"
Several monks gathered around the fire, rubbed their hands together and began to discuss the affairs of their master.
"You know, there must be a reason for this! Otherwise, who would want to risk their lives to come to this hellish place?"
"That's what you said, but what is the purpose of our master's visit?"
"I don't know!"
"I don't know!"
Several people shook their heads in unison.
At this moment, one of the monks suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something.
"I've heard the eldest lady talk about the purpose of their coming here, and I don't know if it's true or not!"
"Tell us what!"
Everyone was interested.
Seeing that his companion was so interested, the monk thought about it and said, "That day, I passed by the eldest lady's boudoir and listened to the eldest lady and the young master discussing inside! They said that something big was going to happen in this Luofeng Forest in the near future, and they said that what kind of Vermilion Bird Divine Beast appeared in the world, and it landed in this ghost phoenix forest!
"It turns out that I want the divine beast to recognize the eldest lady as the master? Then this is amazing! This Vermilion Bird divine beast is an ancient divine beast, one of the four spirits of the sky, the legendary phoenix! If you let this phoenix recognize the eldest lady as the master, then ...... That's amazing!"
"But can we find this beast?"
"I think it's difficult! So many families in the city have come to this ghost phoenix forest! Our Huo family is only a medium-sized family, I'm afraid, we can't rob other big families!"
"Alas, forget it! Don't say it! lest the head of the house be unhappy to hear it!"
"Yes, don't talk about it! Go to sleep! Go to sleep! You have to go into the woods tomorrow morning!"
Then several of the monks shut their mouths again, pretending that nothing had happened, and fell to the ground to get ready to sleep.
At this time, Li Bai and Feng Qiu, who heard the discussion of several people, looked at each other, but they couldn't sleep anymore.
"It turns out that there will be a divine beast in this Falling Phoenix Forest! No wonder there are so many people coming!"
Li Bai smiled, feeling that the people who came to look for the divine beast were simply inexplicable.
When Feng Qiu heard Li Bai's words, he looked at Li Bai with a frown, but there was a bit of playfulness in his words.
"What, you're also interested in this beast?"
Li Bai smiled and shook his head.
"How can I be interested? I am interested only in the fishtail golden toad! The others are not interested at all! Besides, that divine beast is rare, and even if I am interested in it, it may not be interested in me! In that case, what am I going to do to make a fuss? Let them make a fuss on their own!"
"Heh!
Feng Qiu suddenly laughed as well.
"But I think, you know that this divine beast is not easy to fight, and you deliberately don't mix, and you want to take the opportunity to find your fishtail golden toad!"
The fishtail golden toad is a rare spirit beast in the world, although it is not as rare as the ancient divine beasts, but it is also a thing that everyone must fight for.
Originally, Li Bai was worried that he would not have a chance to grab the fishtail golden toad, but now that he looks at it, Li Bai is a little more sure.
However, his thoughts were guessed by Feng Qiu again, which made Li Bai look at Feng Qiu with admiration.
Li Bai thought that Feng Qiu was a little clever, so he was able to drop the six roulette wheels, but now it seems that Li Bai has concluded that this Feng Qiu is a person with strong logic and judgment ability, and he is indeed alert from ordinary people.
Therefore, Li Bai also sincerely admired Feng Qiu.
