The tiger-demon's tail involuntarily curled up into a ball, trying to calm down, but it really couldn't.
The deer demon and the sheep demon were much worse than him. The two little demons held each other, trembling with fear. This attracted scorn from the "old turtle" lying on a stone nearby. The three guys are not as good as me!
About half an hour later.
A wútóngmù happened to bring over a bag, inside of which used the technique of storing a mustard-sized world in a grain of rice. The Phoenix transformed into human form, opened the bag, and took out a fishing rod that was over 100 zhang long.
The fishing rod's surface was a deep brown, with a peculiar luster. At the handle, there were two ancient dragon motifs, one right and one reversed, which proved that this item belonged to the dragon race in ancient times.
However, this thing can only be considered a magical artifact. Besides catching dragonfish, she cannot see any other uses for it.
The Phoenix waved the fishing rod twice. The fishing rod was too long, and the action of throwing the rod was awkward to the extreme. Compared to the fishing rod, her arms were too short and a bit difficult to throw open.
So it won't use us as bait for fish? The tiger demon's heart was full of joy. However, his joy just emerged on his lips when he saw the Phoenix with fists clenched and shoulders swaying, using the divine power of law and heavenly imagery!
The power within her body kept flowing into her, and finally, in the eyes of the three demons, who were horror-stricken, her body kept growing larger and larger, ultimately transforming into a giant over a hundred zhang tall.
"Uh..." The sheep demon had never seen this before. With a flick of her eyelids, she directly fainted.
At this moment, the Phoenix turned her head and looked over.
The tiger demon's legs were trembling, and he cursed himself in his heart. Why didn't he faint along with the others? What a pretend hero!
The Phoenix pointed at him, her voice as loud as thunder: "Start from you!"
The tiger demon turned around and ran away. In order to speed up, he turned back into his original form, using all four legs to dig into the ground, muscles bulging, trying to run faster.
The old bear had been watching him from the beginning. At this moment, he stretched out a fat foot and gently tripped the tiger demon, causing him to fall over. Then he extended his hand like a fan, grabbed the tiger cub's neck with one hand, and lifted him up to the fishing hook.
In three moves, five strikes, and two shakes, he was bound up.
"You all demons are doomed to die a wretched death!"
"I will become a ghost and will not forgive you!"
"Watch this, the Supreme Deity will avenge me!"
"Who?" The old bear hesitated for a moment, such a big name? He couldn't help but look at the phoenix, knowing that the phoenix had very deep connections in the Xuanmen sect.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." The phoenix laughed, what bullshit is this? Can the Supreme Deity of the Three Pure Ones help you avenge? Are you Pu'ba or Xuandou?
I have already met the true forms of Laozi, Nuwa, and ZhunTi, three holy beings. I am not worthy to say this. Who are you?
"Bind them up, bind them up, old bear, hurry up. Maintaining the law of heaven and earth is very taxing on my powers."
The tiger demon was bound to the fishing hook. The Phoenix swung the fishing rod with force, and the tiger demon gave out a wretched howl. This caused the sheep demon, who had just come to consciousness again, to faint once more. Then there was a heavy thud, followed by a quick descent into the Tunhe River.
The cast produced no results. The phoenix sat by the shore and waited for about a stick of incense time, but the fishing rod showed no response.
Pull the tiger demon up, change to the second fishing lure, the deer demon.
The divine turtle probably doesn't like deer meat either, so the second cast also produced no results, wasting another incense time.
The phoenix found it very taxing to maintain the Law of Heaven and Earth, so she dispelled her divine art and sat on the ground to eat.
She accepted everything without discrimination, including various water spirits, fire malachite, lingzhi, spiritual herbs, and even rich earth elements stones. She swallowed them whole and transformed them into her magic power. After resting for a moment and a half, when her magic power was restored to eighty percent, she used the Law of Heaven and Earth to fish for dragonfish again.
The tiger demon and the deer demon, drenched and looking like drowned chickens, stood on the shore with a blank expression. They watched as the sheep demon, who was unconscious, was tied to the fishing hook. Then it flew out a huge arc, followed by the fishing hook, falling into the Tunhe River.
This time it only took a cup of tea's worth of time, but the phoenix felt the river start to churn from bottom to top, forming huge waves on the surface, clearly indicating that something was about to emerge from below.
In a blur, she felt that the spatial barrier between the bottom of Tunhe River and a small world was violently breached, and immediately shouted.
"Old bear, get ready, the big guy is coming!"
In the past, Gonggong bumped into the Mountain of Duzhou, and without the support of the Mountain of Duzhou, the sky tilted towards the southwest, with an endless supply of Tianhe River water descending to human realm. There was part of the Tianhe River water in the Tunhe River, which had a very strong barrier effect on spiritual awareness, so the phoenix could only sense a general idea.
The phoenix slowly reeled in the fishing rod, always teasing the giant sea turtle's appetite below, making it unable to bite the sheep demon. Especially the bait was always waving in front of its eyes as if it just needed to exert a little more effort to catch it.
They waited for more than ten breaths, and then they heard a muffled "boom" within the river. It seemed like a deep water bomb had exploded below. Without giving them time to look closely, the water in Tunhe River automatically separated on both sides, and a giant beast emerged from the river. It was about as big as a small mountain, with sharp spines growing all over its forehead, shell, and limbs, and its eyes were filled with fierce light.
The initial gaze of the giant beast was on the sheep demon, but as soon as it emerged from the water, it saw the phoenix. The entanglement of causality between them made it know that this giant was its enemy.
"Oh no, Mom! Is this the god-turtle you said?" The old bear was scared.
The phoenix was also a bit confused. This thing that was even bigger than the three-tailed shi tu by hundreds of times looked extremely fierce. A true spirit could grow into this form, so what must the original god-turtle have been like?
"Ho!——" The giant beast roared, opening its massive mouth and spewing a sheet of black water columns towards the team of divine beasts by the riverbank.
The water column was full of decaying fish and shrimp, as well as a large number of human and animal bones.
"I will come!" The phoenix threw the fishing rod and the sheep demon aside. She transformed into her original phoenix form and stomped her foot hard, absorbing the Zhurong blood that she had taken in, which gave her some control over the earth veins. At this moment, the scorching sunfire that was spewed out also mixed with a lot of lava boulders.
The black water corroded most of the boulders, emitting a sizzling sound. But with the phoenix's control, the flames also shaped the lava boulders, forming a fire wall with a slope that absorbed the impact force of the black water and directed this corrosive water to the sides.
The dragon girl, who had been prepared, chanted spells and incantations, drew water from the Tunhe River, and attacked the eyes of the giant turtle with countless water arrows.
On the way west, they had fought many demons and devils. At this point, they all had rich combat experience.
Among the raindrops of water arrows was a needle-shaped treasure made from the essence of sheng yin water. The giant turtle had thought that the water arrows could not harm it, but it did not expect there to be a treasure inside. Its left eye was pierced with a two-finger-wide blood hole.
But before the little companions could be happy, it used its terrifying regenerative ability to forcibly push out the eye along with the treasure, and then the flesh wriggled, growing a brand new eye, and the wound quickly healed back to normal.
