"What did you see down there?" Ouyang Feng stretched out his neck and tilted his swan head as he peered into the dark abyss.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"
Chu Feng's expression was solemn. He clearly told them that this place wasn't ordinary and that the outside world's guesses were wrong.
It was not until they were far away that Chu Feng began to narrate in detail.
"What? An old Vermillion Bird whose feathers are about to fall out? I can't sense its breath, and there are no signs of life. Most importantly, there are a few little red birds. This time, I have a great opportunity!" Ouyang Feng was about to cry.
"You didn't hear the main point. Those little Vermillion Birds are eating the flesh of a Quasi-sage python!" Chu Feng was incomparably solemn.
This meant that the old Vermilion Bird didn't seem to have any life, but it was definitely still alive, and it was extremely terrifying. The food it chose for its heir was a bit ridiculous.
"Wow, I rarely eat Quasi-sage ferocious beasts as ingredients," the silver-haired little lolita cried out.
Chu Feng propped his forehead with his hand. He felt that Jun Tuo's son and the silver-haired little lolita were too insensitive. What were the two of them paying attention to?
Qin Luoyin said, "There's no doubt that the old Vermilion Bird has entered his later years. He's conserving his strength, similar to hibernation. He'll only wake up when he needs to hunt for food for his young."
She had revealed the truth. That old Vermillion Bird really didn't have much life left.
After the Little Daoist was beaten up, he had been listless these past few days. Now, he finally became spirited and said, "What a great fortune! After the old Vermillion Bird passes away in meditation, we'll go down and adopt a divine bird. When the time comes, we'll each have a Vermillion Bird as a mount. Boundless Deity, just thinking about it makes me excited. You have to know that this kind of divine bird is too rare and has a noble bloodline. This is an existence that dares to fight against the gods!"
The more the Little Daoist spoke, the more excited he became. "When the time comes, I will naturally sit on the vermillion bird's back and soar above the Nine Heavens. At that time, I will possess the layout and aura of a celestial venerable."
"That makes sense. When the time comes, I'll let the Vermilion Bird help me pull the carriage!" Ouyang Feng nodded.
The silver-haired little loli blinked her big eyes at him and said, "Aren't you a divine bird yourself? Oh right, you're a female, right? When the time comes, I'll find a young male Vermilion Bird to be your dao companion. You'll definitely be very happy. "
Ouyang Feng: "# ¥%!"
He really wanted to quarrel with Ying Xiaoxiao, but when he saw that dark-faced man with an older sister complex glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey and looking like he wanted to stand up for his younger sister, he endured it.
"This grandpa is a man. Also, Ying Wudi, you used to be a pretty boy. Have you eaten yourself to death recently? Your face is so dark every day."
Ying Wudi had a serious expression on his face as he said, "Am I as black as you? I'm black from head to toe."
"F * ck, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Ouyang Feng strode away with his swan steps. He was so angry that he turned his head and ignored him.
"It's difficult. It's very dangerous there." Qin Luoyin spoke. She was apprehensive of the abyss and wasn't very optimistic about their idea of adopting a vermillion bird.
Chu Feng nodded, expressing his agreement. This was an old Vermilion Bird that was ridiculously powerful. It would definitely pave a path of retreat for its descendants, or else how could it leave this world in peace?
A thought flashed through Ouyang Feng's mind, and he said, "Eh, I just remembered something. Recently, there have been other people who have been asking about the Vermilion Bird's abyss. Last time, there was a group of people who passed by our dwelling and even asked about it."
This startled everyone as they had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter.
"The other divine beasts of the abyss or the gods of the Vicious Beast Plateau are aware of this place and are most likely gathering information. It's very likely that they'll make a move against this place!" Ying Zhexian deduced.
A divine bird was about to die. There were too many good things on its body. In addition to the divine medicines and scriptures collected in its residence, even the gods would be tempted.
The most crucial thing was that once this kind of creature was subdued and nurtured, its combat strength would be unimaginable. It might even be stronger than the gods themselves in the end.
"That means we're directly out of the game?" The silver-haired little lolita was unresigned.
"How's that possible? Where there's a will, there's a will. Even if we create an opportunity, we have to take away a young Vermilion Bird!" Ouyang Feng rubbed his palms together.
"Boundless Deity, we still have a chance for this kind of matter. With this Deity's experience of roaming the world, this old Vermilion Bird isn't simple. Perhaps it'll give all the gods and divine beasts a pleasant surprise. When the time comes, we might not necessarily be able to adopt a young Vermilion Bird, but we'll definitely be able to collect quite a lot of divine blood!"
The Little Daoist judged that a battle between gods was most likely going to happen here. The blood of divine beasts and gods would spill onto the earth.
Ying Zhexian nodded and said, "It's possible that the old Vermilion Bird will fake its death or take the initiative to detonate the crisis in advance. I think it'll most likely drag some divine beasts and gods along with it on its deathbed."
A scene of the future emerged in front of everyone's eyes. The old Vermilion Bird had an heir and was about to die. This was a major matter that would lead to bloodshed and chaos.
Ouyang Feng cried out, "Oh no! We have to hurry back and tell Sister Yaoyao not to loot the vicinity of the abyss no matter what. This place is about to become a land of trouble!"
According to their previous contact, Yaoyao might come to the abyss. Even though they hadn't confirmed which divine beast heir she was going to loot, the divine medicines here were definitely very tempting.
On the way, Chu Feng said, "We have to be prepared at all times. When the time comes, a great battle will break out between the gods, divine beasts, and divine birds. Heads will definitely roll and divine blood will splatter everywhere. We have to ponder over this carefully and see whether it's more worthwhile to lay dormant here to collect divine blood or to directly plunder a god's lair or another divine beast's abyss."
"Father, the older the ginger, the worse it gets. You have criminal genes from head to toe and you're rotten from head to toe. We're still thinking about how to toss and turn around here, but you have great foresight. You've already used your sharp criminal vision to see through millions of kilometers away. I'm impressed."
"Unfilial son, come over here! I'll beat you to death!" Chu Feng chased after him.
"Boundless Deity, this Little Daoist will make a move first!" The Little Daoist stuck out his buttocks and took a stride with his pair of short legs as he broke into a mad dash. He had grasped a secret technique from his previous life and had always been very arrogant. He believed that he wasn't weaker than others even when he was just born.
Upon seeing this, everyone could only chase after him from behind.
"This Nephew of mine really isn't careless. His pair of short legs run really fast!" After flying for half a day, Ouyang Feng was so tired that he stuck out his tongue like an old yellow dog and panted heavily. He couldn't stand it any longer.
The Little Daoist could draw support from the qi of the earth and easily traversed dozens of kilometers with a single step. He was really too fast. Even though his short legs weren't long, he was extremely fast.
The others were very tired. If Ying Xiaoxiao didn't have her sister's Five-colored Divine Light to carry her, she would've definitely fallen behind and disappeared long ago.
They chased after him along the way and at the same time, the Little Daoist's blood-curdling screams were accompanied. After all, he was too young in this life and didn't have enough stamina. After he was caught by Chu Feng, he couldn't avoid being hung up and beaten.
By the time they returned to their original dwelling, it was already six days later. They were much faster than when they left.
They decided to wait here and meet up with the people from Mount Eternal to inform them of the abyss's current situation. They couldn't act rashly and reap the benefits of others was the right way.
"Something's wrong. There's something here!" Ouyang Feng was vigilant.
After that, they saw a lame old fox. One of its forelegs had disappeared and half of its hind leg was left. Its eyes were golden, but its fur was dim and almost all of its fur had fallen off. Furthermore, the latter half of its body was almost petrified. Some parts of its body had turned into rock, including that lame leg.
"What demon is this?!" The Little Daoist jumped up. Based on his instincts, he felt that this old fox whose fur was about to fall off wasn't ordinary.
"Boundless Deity, this poor Daoist greets you." This lame, yellow-furred old fox's face was full of kindness.
The Little Daoist was disgusted. He was also from the Dao Race, but a lame fox with golden eyes was reciting the same Daoist name as him. This made him feel disgusted.
"Great Immortal Hu, you should recite Amitabha instead!" The Little Daoist felt a toothache as he looked at this yellow-furred fox. He didn't have the nerve to recite Boundless Deity himself.
"This poor Daoist is suffering. Now … even my Dao Race identity is about to be stripped away." The old fox sighed.
At this point, the rims of its eyes turned red.
What was going on? The few of them were at a loss for a moment.
"Alright, don't cry. I'll allow you to recite Deity. Tell me, what's your identity? Why did you run over to our dwelling? What's your objective? "inquired the Little Daoist.
"Sigh, it's fine if I don't say my identity. You guys won't believe me even if I say it." The lame fox shook its head.
"Say it. This old Daoist is thick-skinned. No matter how incongruous your words are, I can face them with a smile."
"Fine, believe it or not, it's up to you. This poor Daoist is a Deity of the Dao Race. I once overlooked the ups and downs of the world and watched the common people struggle for survival. I didn't expect that I would also become an ant in the mortal world one day. How lamentable." The yellow-furred old fox had a very sorrowful look on its face. Its pair of golden eyes, in particular, showed the aura of the vicissitudes of time. It was as if it had experienced such a long time.
"Speak human language!" Ouyang Feng was the first to shout.
"Great Immortal Hu, are you trying to use the art of charm on us? It's useless! " The Little Daoist couldn't take it anymore. He recited Boundless Deity every day. In the end, an old fox ran in front of him today and said that he was a Deity. Wasn't this kicking his face?
"This poor Daoist knew that you guys wouldn't believe me. It's fine if I don't mention it. The past will be gone with the wind. There are times when a Deity also turns into soil. What's there to not see?" The lame old fox shook his head.
The Little Daoist and Ouyang Feng naturally didn't believe him.
But Chu Feng was shocked because he saw that other than a petrified broken tail on the back of this lame old fox, there were still eight scars. This meant that he was at least a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?!
As a result, Chu Feng opened his mouth and said, "Since you're a Deity, how did you end up in this state?"
"I was abandoned." The old fox smiled miserably.
"Why was I abandoned?"
"I'm not the only one who was abandoned. Even this world has been abandoned. It's your suffering to be born in this world and it's your misfortune to end up in this world. If you dwell here for a long time, you'll die very miserably in your later years."
The Little Daoist curled his lips and said, "Fraud, this kind of method of yours is what this poor Daoist left behind from back then. It's not worth mentioning. Who doesn't know that cultivating special techniques doesn't have a good ending in one's later years? Don't pretend to be a Deity anymore."
"Never mind. It's fate that we met. This poor Daoist will perform a divination." The yellow-furred old fox narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while. He suddenly raised his head and said, "This is bad. There's going to be great chaos in the vicinity of the abyss. There will be a battle of gods within three days and the effects will be widespread. Everyone should avoid the calamity. At that time, there will most likely be exceptional divine birds sweeping through the world!"
The few of them were all stunned. If this lame fox dared to perform a divination like this six days ago, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death. But after Chu Feng personally witnessed the old Vermillion Bird's state in the abyss, he couldn't help but be fearful now.
"Oh, Little Scholar, there will most likely be a bloody calamity today," the lame fox said as he stared at the Little Daoist.
The Little Daoist raised his head and said in disdain, "Who are you lying to? Are you going to say that you'll help me resolve this and then make me give you some incense money? I'm very clear about this kind of thing. Why don't you take a look at who I was in my previous life? My professional knowledge is more exquisite than yours! "
"This poor Daoist never lies. When I was in the world of the living, the various divine kings wanted to request a divination from me but couldn't. Today, I took the initiative to offer a divination, yet I was slighted by you. Forget it, forget it. Fate has come to an end. I'll bid farewell here."
After saying this, he moved the lower half of his petrified body with difficulty and was about to leave this place.
"Moo!"
It was at this time that a loud bull's roar came from the horizon and shook the surroundings.
"Hee-haw, hee-haw, Lu Feiyang, the proud son of heaven of the aristocratic family of the Nanjiang River, is here. May I ask, who in the world can contend against him? Thieves, come over and kowtow! "
