Watery mist rose from the swamp, and a strand of smoke slowly drifted up for tens of zhang high, then was blown away by a breeze.
Mr. Crow stood on a withered tree, which had been dead for a long time. He narrowed his eyes and vigilantly looked around, letting out thin fire sparkles from his beak. His feathers slightly straightened, and he was ready to pounce and attack at any moment.
Compared to Mr. Crow, who was extremely vigilant, Man Man was much more relaxed.
Man Man, whose face was covered in mud, was lying beside a bonfire. She narrowed her eyes, staring at a few clumps of mud in the fire. This was how to roast Beggar's Chicken. Just now, Mr Crow had hunted a few birds in the swamp area, and Man Man excitedly made these mud balls for Mr Crow.
Zhu Rong Bao carried his long spear and ran over with big steps. Three Magus Kings hurriedly walked up and greeted him, "Big brother!"
Zhu Rong Bao nodded to the few warriors, then helplessly glanced at Man Man, who was lying beside the bonfire like a greedy cat. He then walked to Shaosi, who was sitting beside the bonfire, cupped his hands and bowed to her.
"Shaosi, within the area with a radius of five-hundred miles in front of us, there are thirteen different sized villages. The population of these villages ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of people.
Before Zhu Rong Bao finished his speech, a muddy area of mud in the swamp beside him suddenly rose up. Next, an earthworm-shaped, entirely blue, enormous worm rushed out of the mud and swallowed Zhu Rong Bao with its three-meter wide mouth, along with a stinky odor.
Zhu Rong Bao raised his long spear and prepared to launch the attack, but Mr. Crow darted over along with a dazzling fiery light. It flapped its pair of wings and cut this giant worm into tens of pieces like a sharp knife.
Cawing for a few times, Mr. Crow proudly pounced into the pile of minced meat, clawed wildly, and took out eight fist-sized, dark-blue spirit Dans from the minced meat. Mr. Crow gripped a spirit Dan with his claw, carefully observed it, then disappointedly shook his head and carelessly threw it on the ground.
If it was a spirit Dan with a nature of fire, Mr. Crow would benefit him greatly after swallowing it.
However, spirit Dan with a nature of water was like poison to Mr. Crow, and the harm it could bring to Mr. Crow wouldn't be as great as the benefits it could bring to Mr. Crow.
Shaosi smilingly packed the eight spirit Dan, then turned to Mr. Crow and said, "These things are worth a lot of money when we bring them back to Pu Ban City. Mr. Crow, since this kind of spirit Dan has a nature of water, then it must have a nature of fire as well... It's just that we're unlucky and haven't found one yet. "
Zhu Rong Bao nodded disappointedly and said, "Indeed, this bloody swamp is way too watery."
The three Zhu Rong Family Magus Kings hurriedly shook their heads as well. They were in a swamp, covered in mud and dirty water, and not even a little bit of green could be seen. Only Man Man didn't care about this kind of environment, but to Mr. Crow, Zhu Rong Bao and the three Zhu Rong Family Magus Kings, the swamp environment was simply terrible.
"My luck is bad!" Shaosi narrowed her eyes. A beam of light flashed across her eyes for a while, then she reached her hand out and carefully clenched her fingers in the air. A gray-white light sparkled between her fingers. As she moved her fingers, extremely thin white lines suddenly lit up in the air.
These white lines drifted in the air like spider silks. In this swamp area, countless white lines were tangled together. Looking along the gray-white light released from Shaosi's hands, one could see that the entire swamp area was covered in these messy white lines.
Every single white line represented the life track of a local creature living in this swamp area. They had come to this swamp area countless times, therefore, they left their traces in this swamp area. Even though a long time had passed, as long as these people were still alive, these white lines would never disappear.
After being blessed by Si Ming, Shaosi's magic had improved by leaps and bounds again. Now, she could already launch attacks along with the life tracks of intelligent creatures.
"Quite a lot of people live in this swamp area." Shaosi flicked her finger on a white line. Following her move, a gray-white stream of fiery light began burning on the white line. The faint fiery light created a small light screen, within which, the face of a light-blue, delicate local boy appeared.
Shaosi began incanting a spell in a low voice. Nimbly, her ten fingers locked together around this local boy's face, forming a series of strange hand seals.
Dark clouds silently emerged from the sky, but the sense of power released from Shaosi's body was as mysterious as Taisi's. The dark clouds sparkled with bolts of lightning for quite a while, but failed to find any trace of Shaosi. A quarter of an hour later, this dark cloud finally dissipated helplessly.
"First, we have to learn the language and characters of these local creatures, then we have to find Ji Hao as soon as possible." said Shaosi in a low voice, "We have to stay together to be safer. But this world is so vast, and we are over a hundred million miles away from each other. If we want to find Ji Hao, we need better luck. "
Frowning, Shaosi continued with a gentle voice, "Have you noticed? Ever since we came to this world, not only have our powers been suppressed, even our luck has been suppressed. Therefore, during these couple of days, I have told you not to make any reckless moves, because once you make a move, you might get into trouble. "
"However, during these couple of days, I have figured some things out. For example, the fortune of local creatures in this world, I can still take their fortune and give it to us. As long as our luck turns for the better, everything we do will be smooth sailing. "
Zhu Rong Bao and the other three Magus Kings looked at Shaosi in awe.
The power of providence, or the power of fate, was one of the most unpredictable and miraculous powers of time. Shaosi had mastered this kind of power, which made Zhu Rong Bao and the other three Magi quite envious. At the same time, they felt extremely lucky that Shaosi was on their side!
Shaosi incanted a spell, and the face of the boy in the small light screen turned blurry.
Faint streams of white light flowed towards Shaosi through those white lines. This stream of white light was the fortune of the boy. Next, more and more streams of white light flowed over through those white lines, which were the fortune of the boy's immediate family members …
After ten minutes, the power of providence that flowed along the white line had begun to flow like water in a pipe. This was the providence of the young man's tribe, which had also begun to flow.
A quarter of an hour later, the natural fortune power flowing over from the white line had already become a foot-thick stream. The natural fortune of the non-humankind friends that the young man knew had also flowed towards Shaosi because of the intertwining of their destinies.
Two hours later, the fortune of all local creatures in the entire swamp area began gathering towards Shaosi. The white light stream had already become a hundred-meter thick river. Gradually, the power of fate of Shaosi spread to all local creatures in the entire swamp area. The power of fate controlled by Shaosi was truly terrifying.
Shaosi's fingers had been changing hand motions. Waves of white spell symbols flew into the bodies of herself, Zhu Rong Bao, Mr. Crow and the three Magus Kings.
All of a sudden, everyone felt that their bodies had become much lighter than before. Suppressed by the power of this world, they could only release less than ten percent of their powers. But now, they could release a small half of their powers.
Not only that, everyone felt that they had become much closer to this world. Before, this world was cold and strange to them, but now, it was as warm as a mother's arms.
Two hours later, not much fortune of the boy's fortune had been flowing over from those white lines.
Shaosi smiled, pointed at a direction and said, "This way, Ji Hao must be in this direction!"
