Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han were flying at lightning speed in the great swamp of the Southern Wilderness.
Xiao Han didn't take it too seriously when it came to a small incident in the process of the outbreak of a beast tide in Southern Wasteland City.
As he hurried on, he was still thinking silently in his mind about the Xiao Clan's Holy Fire Festival.
Ji Tianxing was also transmitting messages, communicating with Xiao Heilong and Qianyue.
Qianyue asked with some confusion: "Old Ji, last night you told the Lord of Nanhuang City that you didn't see the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix. How could you lie? This is not like your style."
The little black dragon also muttered: "Yes, Lao Ji didn't even blink when he lied. It's really unbelievable to me."
Ji Tianxing's tone was somewhat emotional, and he said faintly: "If I say that I am doing this for the good of Nanhuang City, you may think that I am hypocritical, but this is indeed half of the reason.
Without the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix and the Holy Tower, the beast tide would not have broken out in the Southern Wilderness Great Swamp, and the Southern Wilderness City would not have had to suffer a disaster every one or two years.
The most important thing is that the legend of Fengbiehuang is related to the war between the gods. I know very well the beginning, end and reason of that war, which is related to the ancestor of the demon god.
The people of Nanhuang City can only enshrine the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix in the holy tower, spread the legend of Phoenix Farewell, and pay homage to them silently.
But this is useless and makes little sense.
What happened back then is about to repeat itself, the ancestor demon god is likely to be resurrected, and the demon army will once again sweep the world.
Therefore, I would rather tell a lie, take the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix away, and hand it over to you two.
I hope you can refine the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix and quickly increase your strength so that in the future you can help me resist the demon army, protect the people of the human race, and deal with the Demon Emperor and the ancestor demon god.
You can just inherit the legacy of the Phoenix couple and complete their unfinished tasks and wishes."
Little Black Dragon and Qianyue were silent for a moment, murmuring to themselves: "Inherit the legacy? This... is indeed much better than hanging on to them."
"Old Ji, I agree with your approach. Rather than letting the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix lie in the holy tower, it is better for us to inherit the Sacred Heart and avenge the Phoenix couple!"
Ji Tianxing said in a solemn tone: "As long as you understand my wishes, you should refine those two Phoenix Sacred Hearts as soon as possible, and strive to reach the soul refining realm as soon as possible.
Remember not to make a mistake, the little black dragon refines the heart of the fire phoenix, and Qian Yue refines the heart of the dragon and phoenix."
Hearing his words, Qianyue hesitated for a moment and said in a strange tone: "Lao Ji, the legendary Phoenix couple, they are extremely loving and will remain together until death.
Do you think, after Daitoulong and I refine the Sacred Heart of the Phoenix, will we become...like the Phoenix couple and fall in love with each other?"
"Uh, well..." Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment and asked in a strange tone: "Qianyue, how do you want me to answer your question?
You and Little Black Dragon have known each other for so many years, and we are best friends. You two should also love each other, take care of and help each other!"
"No...I don't!" Qian Yue immediately rejected it and muttered in dissatisfaction: "I am a Sky Fox, and the Silly Dragon is a Black Dragon. We are of different races, how can we fall in love?
Besides, I have always regarded the little black dragon as a brother, how could I possibly fall in love with him?
It looks dark and dull, too boring, not my type at all..."
Ji Tianxing had a dark look on his face and said angrily: "Brother, what kind of brother? You are a girl and the little black dragon is a boy. As long as the genders are different, it's fine. Why do you care so much?"
Besides, the little black dragon is so honest and loyal and can tolerate your unruliness, so just be content."
The little black dragon, who had been silent all this time, nodded quickly and said, "Well, Lao Ji, Qianyue, don't worry! When I become stronger, I will definitely protect you with all my strength!"
Qianyue stuck out her tongue at it angrily, "Luanluanluo... who wants your protection? I don't care about it, huh!"
After saying that, it held the Dragon and Phoenix Sacred Heart, found a mountain with abundant spiritual energy in the world of swords, and went into seclusion to refine it.
The little black dragon also stayed in the secret room of Azuchi City, concentrating on refining the Fire Phoenix Sacred Heart.
Ji Tianxing smiled silently, said nothing more, and continued on his way.
…
Before I knew it, five days had passed.
Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han flew continuously for five days and five nights in the Southern Wilderness Daze, crossing the surrounding mountains and jungles, and finally entered the central area of the Daze.
The terrain ahead is getting lower and lower, and mountains are rarely seen. The ground is filled with patches of dark brown swamps and dark green jungles.
This is the center of the Southern Wilderness and the most dangerous area.
Most of the legendary caves and ruins of powerful men are hidden in this area with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Of course, the Xiao clan is also in this area.
At this time, the two of them were flying over a swamp with a radius of nearly ten thousand miles.
The dark brown swamp is covered with black mud, with layers of rotten dead leaves, brown branches and other debris accumulated on it.
Many colorful wildflowers and grasses grow on the surface of the muddy swamp, attracting many colorful insects.
Some weird-looking, venomous snakes, insects and ants with extraordinary talents are also lurking in the swamp, walking silently through it.
The mid-air above the swamp is still filled with a vague gray mist, containing terrifying poisonous gas.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han both have the strength of the Soul Refining Realm. They can protect their bodies with the power of their souls and resist the erosion of miasma and poisonous mist.
Moreover, since the two of them were flying high in the sky and did not fall into the swamp, there would be no trouble or danger.
As Xiao Han flew forward, he said to Ji Tianxing: "Mr. Ji, this is already the center of Daze. If we fly forward for another day, we can reach the Xiao clan.
This area with a radius of 200,000 miles is the legendary Soul-eating Swamp area, which is one of the most dangerous areas in the Daze.
For outside adventurers, this is a forbidden area of death.
For us, the children of the Xiao clan, if we want to leave the Xiao clan and enter the prosperous Zhongzhou, this swamp is also the most dangerous barrier and test.
When I left the Xiao Clan and was just starting out, I almost had a bad start and fell into this soul-eating swamp..."
When Xiao Han talked about the past, his face was filled with sadness and emotion.
Ji Tianxing listened silently and occasionally responded with a few words. The two of them walked and chatted without feeling lonely.
At this moment, there was a loud "rumbling" sound in the sky a hundred miles away in front, and a dazzling light of true energy lit up, illuminating the dark sky.
Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han followed the sound and saw a dark green jungle appearing in the dark brown swamp ahead.
It was a mound protruding from the swamp. It was small in area, only ten miles in diameter. It was covered with various shrubs and small trees.
This kind of mound covered with bushes is very common in swamps and mire, and is often home to powerful monsters.
