Looking at the mountain shrouded in black smoke in front of him, Zhong Wen frowned, instinctively rejecting it.
"According to Lao Hei, this should be the 'Poisonous Dragon Mountain'." Zhuma nodded and replied, gently stroking the unconscious black armadillo in his arms with her white jade-like hands. "It is said that there are some of the remains of it from back then."
I don’t know if I can revive the treasure I dropped.”
"It's such a heavy evil spirit." Zhong Wen carefully looked at the smoky mountain in front of him, with a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes, "It seems to be mixed with some poisonous energy. I'm afraid even the Heavenly Wheel cultivators won't be able to survive in it."
"I'll go in and take a look." Zhuma tightened her arms around Lao Hei and said eagerly.
This "Poisonous Dragon Mountain", which is intimidating to ordinary people, made her feel very friendly, and she even vaguely had the illusion of returning to her hometown.
"Qiqi, Ayun, the environment here is too bad." Zhong Wen turned to Liu Qiqi and Gan Muyun who were traveling with him, "Why don't Zhuma and I go in to investigate, and you guys can take a rest here.
"
"I'll go too." Liu Qiqi's face was still a little pale, but there was an unquestionable flavor in her voice.
"They are staying." Gan Muyun pointed at the group of spirit birds following him, and said decisively, "I'll go in."
Staring into the two women's firm eyes, Zhong Wen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
If you are careful, you will find that the faces of these four people are a little gloomy, and their moods are obviously not beautiful, and they can even be said to be a little depressed.
Both Zhuma and Xiao Ming have learned the bad news about their hometown from Zhong Wen. It goes without saying that they are filled with grief and shock.
Liu Qiqi's great road was destroyed, and her cultivation foundation suffered great trauma. It is very likely that she will never be able to go further in this life.
The army of spirit birds brought by Gan Muyun suffered heavy losses. Although Zhong Wen tried his best to rescue them, they still suffered more than 200 casualties, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
But Zhong Wen was "broken up" once.
Just because after returning to the real world, Shangguan Mingyue's attitude towards him suddenly changed. Not only did she coldly ignore him, but she also strictly forbade him to refer to him as "Mingyue" again.
A posture of "I'm not familiar with you".
After the war, in order to revive Lao Hei, Zhuma decided to go to the "Poisonous Dragon Mountain" where the treasure was hidden in its mouth. Zhong Wen, who had learned from the past, naturally wanted to go with him, but Shangguan Mingyue decisively chose to follow the army back to Daqian.
There seems to be no nostalgia for this lover who not long ago was flirting with me and kissing me.
Even though he guessed the eldest lady's thoughts, Zhong Wen still found it difficult to accept such a change for a while.
Finally, on the occasion of parting, she did not refuse the "Elixir of Transformation" offered by Zhong Wen.
Otherwise, Zhong Wen would almost think that the eldest lady had turned against him and were incompatible with each other.
In the end, after a difficult victory, Zeng Ruiyu Xuanji's Daqian Army and Jin Xihe's Jingyu Army each retreated to the border.
The elders of the "Wen Dao Academy" suffered heavy casualties. Only Yan Beigui waited until Zhong Wen's elixir was obtained, and the rest were all dead.
He and Master Liu had to rush back to the Holy Land to report the battle situation to the Saint face to face.
Shen Xiaowan, who was the last one to wake up, reluctantly took on the task of escorting Daqian's army back in accordance with Zhong Wen's instructions.
Only Liu Qiqi and Gan Muyun stayed, traveling with Zhong Wen.
Matching men and women, it should be a pleasant journey.
However, Zhong Wen and the three women were immersed in their own sad things. Along the way, with four bitter faces, it was really a river of sadness flowing backwards, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.
"Xiao Ming, wait a minute."
Seeing that the golden Xiao Ming was about to follow Zhuma into the Poison Dragon Mountain, Zhong Wen suddenly called it to life, took out two golden beads from his arms and handed them to it, and said in pure Dapeng language, "These two beads The beads contain the lifelong energy of Mr. and Mrs. Jin, so I will leave them to you."
I don't know if it's because of the special bloodline of Jin Yu Dapeng, but the Xuan Dzi beads formed by the old Jin couple are obviously more dazzling than those of human cultivators.
Xiao Ming trembled all over, looking at the crystal clear golden beads in front of his eyes, tears rolled down from his blue eyes, forming two streams on his cheeks.
"When I arrived, they were gone." Zhong Wen continued, "So this is just my own decision. You can swallow the beads and inherit the power of your parents, or you can deal with it in other ways. This is yours. that power."
A trace of hesitation flashed in Xiao Ming's blue eyes, but it was fleeting and soon revealed a firm look.
It suddenly stretched its neck and swallowed the two balls in Zhong Wen's palm in one gulp.
"I will definitely kill that devil with golden eyes!" It stared at Zhong Wen's face seriously and said word by word.
Before he finished speaking, the golden and red feathers on its body suddenly began to fall off in pieces, and then grew rapidly again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Along with the "crack" sound, Xiao Ming's entire body began to gradually stretch and deform, and actually expanded like a balloon. Waves of pain from the tearing of muscles and bones came through his heart, causing his face to twist and scream.
Although this process was painful, it was not long. It only lasted for dozens of breaths before calmness was restored.
At this time, Xiao Ming reached nine feet in length, and his body size had surpassed that of his father, Lao Jin. Both the golden horns on his head and the pair of blade-like claws were far more intimidating than before.
The most shocking thing is the feathers that have grown back.
Except for a red line on the back of his head, Xiao Ming's entire body was covered in golden feathers. The dazzling brilliance almost blinded the eyes of others.
Its wings were stretched out and its body was straight. Just standing there, it exuded majesty and magnanimity like a god. Even Zhong Wen, who was now able to compete head-on with the saint, felt a hint of pressure.
Although there are no enemies at the scene for Xiao Ming to show off his skills, everyone has no doubt that it is definitely not what it used to be at this time, and its strength has reached an incredible level.
What a divine bird!
Looking at the shining golden Xiao Ming in front of him, Zhong Wen couldn't help but admire him in his heart. He felt that he was truly worthy of the domineering name of "Golden Feather Dapeng".
"Let's go!" He forced out a smile and waved to Zhuma and others.
So, a man and three women, carrying an unconscious armadillo and a greatly improved golden-feathered roc, headed straight for Poison Dragon Mountain.
Considering that this place was most likely the base camp of the ancient demon "Black Evil" ten thousand years ago, the few of them tiptoed along the way, being careful and making as little noise as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
However, trouble often comes uninvited and makes people avoid it.
"Buzz!"
A strange voice suddenly appeared in Gan Muyun's ears.
"ah!!!"
The beautiful flower of the Dara clan looked back when she heard the sound and saw the scene in front of her. Her usually calm and strong character suddenly collapsed, her pretty face turned pale, and she let out a sharp scream.
The other three people all looked back and looked at where Gan Muyun was.
Is this...a mosquito?
Zhong Wen's eyes widened and he stared at the black creature in front of Gan Muyun, with a slender body, wings on its back, a long mouthpart on its head, and a species that kept making a "buzzing" sound.
Di secretly guessed.
At this time, Gan Muyun's face was as pale as earth, his expression was panic, and he showed a rare fragile look.
Even Liu Qiqi, who has always been bold, looked a little ugly, and her lips trembled slightly unnoticeably, seeming quite shaken.
Just because the "mosquito" in front of me is actually the size of half an adult!
Only Zhuma still had twinkling eyes and a faint smile. Instead of being panicked by the appearance of this giant mosquito, she was actually a little excited.
"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"
Before Gan Muyun and Liu Qiqi could recover from their shock, the second, third and fourth giant mosquitoes followed closely and appeared in everyone's sight.
Each new mosquito that appears is not weaker than the first one, or even bigger.
There is even one whose body length exceeds Zhuma's height.
Being stared at by these huge pairs of compound eyes, Gan Muyun felt like his heart was hairy. He clearly had a powerful spiritual level cultivation, but for some reason he had no desire to take action. He only had one thought in his mind.
run!
Even facing such a powerful opponent as Dark Seven Stars has never made her feel so frightened and trembling.
Women's fear of mosquitoes seems to be deeply imprinted in their genes, and is actually much more serious than the toad spider Zhuma carries with her.
Knowing that continuing like this was not an option, Zhong Wen's gene of a hero rescuing beauty instantly revived.
He sighed, suppressing the feeling of fury in his heart, and came to Gan Muyun in a few steps. A blue-grey sword appeared in his hand, intending to use thunderous means to drive away these pests.
"puff!"
Unexpectedly, before he could show off in front of the beautiful woman, a white shadow flew out of nowhere and hit the mosquito at the front without any hesitation.
Everyone quickly took a closer look and discovered that the white shadow was actually a ball of spider web as white as jade, which stuck the mosquito tightly in it, making it unable to move at all.
Immediately afterwards, the white filaments connected to the tail of the spider web began to twitch slowly, dragging the trapped mosquitoes away into the distance.
What the hell is this?
Looking along the direction in which the spider thread moved, Zhong Wen's mouth opened wide and he could hardly believe his eyes.
