It's a parasol tree! Song Shuhang's heart lit up. A phoenix has come to perch on the branches of a parasol tree!
Could it be that the spirit beast I'm going to meet this time is a phoenix? Even if it's not a phoenix, it should be a spirit beast of the phoenix bloodline, right?
I'm really looking forward to seeing this mythological beast that only exists in legends. How beautiful and magnificent will it be? This is the most beautiful and noble mythological beast in Chinese legends!
Even though he was excited, Song Shuhang still followed Nine Lanterns closely, afraid that he would get lost.
As they got closer and closer to the parasol tree, Song Shuhang was able to clearly see its entire appearance.
It was a towering tree that was more than fifty meters tall, towering over the valley entrance. Its branches were thick and sturdy, filled with the vicissitudes of history!
Eh? Wait a moment, there seems to be a white object with a hint of red on it.
It looked plump, plump, and tasty, filling one's appetite with just a glance.
It wasn't a phoenix, nor was it a bird.
Song Shuhang opened his eyes as wide as possible and adjusted his vision to the maximum.
Soon after, he saw the true appearance of that plump object — it was a pig that was as round as a ball...
Because it was too fat, its four legs were very short. However, it was precisely these four short legs that held onto the waist of the huge parasol tree, preventing it from falling from the tree.
However, it seemed to be very tired...
"A pig that can climb up a tree!" Song Shuhang exclaimed.
"Silence," Nine Lanterns, who was leading the way, said in a soft voice.
Song Shuhang hurriedly shut his mouth. However, a pig that was as fat as a ball was hanging from the trunk of the Chinese parasol tree. It was too conspicuous.
Therefore, Song Shuhang couldn't help but take another look at it, and then another look, and then another look.
Perhaps Song Shuhang's gaze was a little too emotional when he looked at it, but the plump pig sensed his gaze.
Then, it turned its head and looked at Song Shuhang with its black eyes.
"What are you looking at?" The round pig suddenly opened its mouth, its voice like thunder piercing the ears. It was so loud that Song Shuhang's ears were buzzing. This voice was comparable to a lion's roar.
Before Song Shuhang could reply, Nine Lanterns, who was in front of him, smiled and said, "So what if I'm looking at you?"
"Why don't you take another look?!" the ball-shaped pig roared.
"I'll give it a try! What? "Nine Lanterns tilted her head and glared at the ball-shaped pig. Her eyes were fixed on the other party. He didn't even blink.
The round pig didn't answer. A moment later, its body turned pink.
After a while, it weakly said, "Don't keep looking at me like that, it's so embarrassing …"
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Don't tell him. This Round Pig Ball was the target this time, a powerful senior spirit beast?
Even if Senior wasn't a phoenix, he shouldn't be a pig, right? Wasn't the difference too big?
At this time, the corner of Nine Lanterns' mouth rose. "Fatball, don't talk nonsense. Every time I come here, I have to play this game with you. Aren't you tired of it?"
"That's what I like," the pig replied weakly, its whole body pink with embarrassment.
"Next time, at least change your lines. Otherwise, I'll skin you." Nine Lanterns said, "I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore. Is Senior still in the valley?"
"Yes, why are you looking for him?" the pink Fatball asked.
"Isn't this nonsense? I'm so busy. If I didn't come to this valley to look for Senior, did I come here to play with you? "Nine Lanterns sneered.
Song Shuhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that this' Fatball 'wasn't a senior spirit beast, but a spirit beast in charge of guarding the entrance of the valley. Good, good...
"I really thought that you were here to play with me," Fatball muttered. Soon after, it stretched out its paw and lightly knocked on the parasol tree three times.
In the next moment, the fairyland valley in front of Song Shuhang suddenly changed and turned into a boundless black sea. Moreover, it was deathly still!
Moreover... There wasn't a single thing floating on the surface of the sea. It seemed as if everything that fell into the sea had already sunk to the bottom.
If the fat ball guarding the gate hadn't activated the signal, anyone who tried to rush into the Fairyland Valley would have fallen into this endless black sea of death.
After the appearance of the black sea... On the parasol tree, Fatball stretched out its other paw and knocked on the tree three times.
On the deathly still black sea, a lone boat appeared out of nowhere.
"Let's go. Follow me." Nine Lanterns led the way to the lone boat. "Remember, when we're on the surface of the sea, you have to be careful. "Remember, before we reach the shore, don't say a word! No matter who asks you a question, even if I'm the one asking you a question … Otherwise, no one will be able to save you. "
Song Shuhang silently nodded and followed Nine Lanterns onto the lone boat.
...
...
After sitting on the lone boat, Nine Lanterns didn't say a word and simply handed the oars to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang held the oars and tried to row the boat.
The lonely boat quickly shuttled back and forth in the deathly still sea … but the strange thing was that Song Shuhang couldn't hear the sound of the water even though he could see the oars moving and the waves of the sea churning.
As the lone boat continued to move forward, Song Shuhang gradually felt his body become heavier.
Originally, when he lightly rowed the boat, it would move a large distance on the surface of the sea. But now, when he forcefully rowed the boat, it only moved a little bit forward.
Moreover … if he slightly stopped the oars, the boat would move backward.
In this strange sea, even rowing the boat wasn't easy!
Song Shuhang bitterly smiled in his heart and could only row the boat with all his might. At the same time, he activated the qi and blood energy in his apertures. Only by doing so could the lone boat move forward smoothly.
* * * * *
Let's row the boat and push the waves away ~ The surface of the sea reflected Song Shuhang's deathly pale face ~
Song Shuhang had already started taking qi and blood pills.
If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to hold on.
He didn't know how long he had been rowing in this deathly still sea. However, he couldn't see the shore in front of him or the shore behind him. The sea was boundless, and he didn't know where it ended.
At the same time, his qi and blood energy had been consumed over and over again. Every time his qi and blood energy, as well as the qi and blood energy stored in Reiki, were consumed, he would have to take qi and blood pills to replenish them.
He had almost used up all the qi and blood pills he had, but he still hadn't seen the shore.
However, although Song Shuhang's face was somewhat pale, he was still calm.
This was all thanks to Lady Onion. Not long ago, when Song Shuhang entered Lady Onion's dreamland, he had personally experienced what it was like to become a green onion and live in the wind and rain for an unknown number of years.
As a result, his patience had become very strong.
Even if he was rowing the boat, he was still able to maintain his composure even though he couldn't see the end.
At this point, even Nine Lanterns looked at Song Shuhang in astonishment.
The small boat continued to move forward, rowing on the deathly still sea.
...
...
After an unknown amount of time, Song Shuhang suddenly felt his body lighten.
It felt as if someone had suddenly taken off his body while carrying a hundred kilograms of weight in the desert. Song Shuhang felt his body become so light that he felt as if he were floating in the air, and he was paddling the boat with all his might.
Am I about to reach the shore? At the same time, he thought to himself.
Just as he was in deep thought, Song Shuhang discovered that the scene in front of his eyes had changed.
The originally deathly still black sea had become pure white. Moreover, a pier had unknowingly appeared in front of him.
In addition, pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth was continuously pouring into his body. This was his reward, his reward for passing through the endless black sea.
"You can speak now." At this time, Nine Lanterns's voice echoed.
Song Shuhang heaved a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to reply.
But all of a sudden, he covered his mouth with his hand — he had almost spoken. But he was still on the surface of the sea! He hadn't reached the shore yet!
That was close!
When Song Shuhang covered his mouth with his hand, he seemed to have passed some kind of test, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into his body at an even faster speed.
Before entering the Heavenly Island, Song Shuhang had already opened his Heart Aperture, Eye Aperture, Nose Aperture, and Ear Aperture, and was currently trying to break through his fifth aperture, the Mouth Aperture.
Song Shuhang didn't cut off Lady Onion. If he had done as Senior White had said and cut off Lady Onion's sprout and eaten it, he might have been able to fill up the qi and blood in his Mouth Aperture to the brim.
But now, the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth was continuously pouring into Song Shuhang's body, and when he opened his mouth to speak, the spiritual energy was like a pillar that directly rushed into his mouth, entering his Mouth Aperture and causing him to explode.
Moreover, while Song Shuhang was rowing the boat on the deathly still surface of the sea, he was swallowing qi and blood pills time and time again. It was as if he was cultivating over and over again.
As a result, the qi and blood in his Mouth Aperture had increased to 90%. As long as he could accumulate a bit more, he would be able to fill his Mouth Aperture to the brim and break through to the Mouth Aperture Realm!
Once he opened his Mouth Aperture, he would have to face the final step, the Dragon Gate Realm.
This was truly a pleasant surprise!
Song Shuhang rowed the boat with all his might and finally reached the shore.
...
...
After stopping the boat, Nine Lanterns lightly jumped onto the pier. She then stretched out her hand and pulled Song Shuhang ashore.
"You can speak now," Nine Lanterns said with a smile.
When Song Shuhang saw her open and close her mouth, he heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that his feet were firmly on the ground and that he was no longer in the vicinity of the sea.
"That was close," Song Shuhang replied.
"Hmm, you're quite quick-witted." Nine Lanterns smiled and patted the white monk robe on her body. "Let's go. Now, it's time to officially meet that spirit beast senior."
Song Shuhang cautiously asked, "Miss Nine Lanterns, what's the character of that spirit beast senior? What are his preferences or taboos? Also, what's his appearance like? "
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you emerge victorious in every battle.
"There's no need to ask about his character; it would be pointless even if you did. His preferences and taboos are also very varied. " Nine Lanterns let out a deep sigh and said, "Even in terms of appearance, there are thirty-six of them."
"..." Song Shuhang.
What kind of godly creature is Miss Nine Lanterns describing? (To be continued.)
