Catfish Immortal discovered that the gaze of these two people reflected back, revealing a stiff smile.
I couldn't help but smile. That snake spirit, regarded as food, possesses eight hundred years of cultivation! Blessed be the heavens, he has only cultivated for two hundred years. If he had encountered this snake spirit in the past, it would have been a matter of one bite.
He felt too unlucky himself. This world seemed quite large, but how did he end up directly in front of someone's eyes?
Cloud Sky looked very polite in everyday life, smiling in various situations. However, she actually hates socializing very much. This was because she had an inherent arrogance. If she encountered people who were not related to her, she had no interest in looking at them even once.
At this moment, the catfish spirit seemed to her like a character that could be blown away by a single breath and was not worth mentioning.
She glanced at Deng ChanYu, who shook her head with a smile. She then lost interest and focused on eating the snake meat and drinking.
Deng ChanYu took out a wooden stake, put it on the snake meat, and threw it to the catfish spirit: "Eat it."
The catfish spirit was somewhat excited, pointing at himself: "Mine?"
Deng ChanYu smiled, "Yes, didn't I cause a bit of damage to your cave? Here's compensation for you, it should be enough to support your cultivation for at least fifty years."
The catfish spirit secretly cursed in his heart, "A bit of damage?" You guys pushed my cave flat and then a gust of wind blew it away, leaving nothing behind!
Honghuang is not a place where reason exists. He nodded and bowed, took the snake meat, and took a big bite happily.
It's not that the snake spirit has cultivated for eight hundred years, divided into sixteen segments, with each segment adding fifty years of cultivation.
It's not that the snake spirit has cultivated for eight hundred years, divided into sixteen segments, with each segment adding fifty years of cultivation. Instead, this blood and flesh essence is a great tonic for the catfish spirit. It replenishes his Qi and blood, and also enhances his cultivation potential and strengthens his bones. This is why it has the equivalent effect of fifty years of cultivation.
Seeing that the catfish spirit had finished the snake meat, Deng ChanYu's attitude changed from being courteous to not being so polite: "All previous causes and effects are now wiped out, and instead, you owe us a big cause. Now it's my turn to ask, and your turn to answer."
The catfish spirit was utterly startled. How do you change your mind as quickly as turning the pages of a book?
He could only nod stupidly.
In fact, Deng ChanYu would have gotten a better effect by using the magician's banner. But she felt that it was too exaggerated to use the magician's banner to deal with such a low-ranking spirit. It might be easy to be laughed at by others.
Offering some benefits first and then asking is in line with her values.
"How long have you been staying here?"
"The humble one has lived here since awakening intelligence, for two hundred years."
Deng ChanYu directly asked about the key issue: "After living here for so many years, you must have noticed something unusual. Tell me, what kind of anomalies have you noticed?"
The KuoPeng placed the three small realms in the gap space, since it was randomly distributed, there would definitely be some clues revealed in everyday life. As the owner, the catfish spirit should know some clues. It was because he knew these clues that he dared to follow them in.
The catfish spirit deliberately kept some key information to himself and even hid part of the crucial information. However, when faced with Deng ChanYu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through his true thoughts, he was terrified and very afraid.
"That's right! The humble one has indeed seen some strange phenomena."
"One by one, let me tell you."
"Yes, yes!"
"What? A beast's head and a snake's body, with four wings on its ribs, enveloped in a strong smell of blood. Could it be a flying leech?"
After hearing the description of the catfish spirit, YunXiao immediately put away her initial indifference.
Phyllogeus has a smaller reputation than the Mosquito Daoist and the Six-winged Golden Cicada, but it is also a famous insect in Honghuang. This guy should be the ancestor of all leeches. It once sucked the fresh blood of Tong She on Xian Mountain, and then was captured by Yun Zhongzi.
The recent achievement of the Phyllogeus was to launch a surprise attack on Yun Xiao in the battle at Emei Mountain. Taking advantage of the chaos, it bit Yun Xiao's right arm. The saliva of the Phyllogeus is even more potent than Yu Yuan's blood-nourishing divine sword, and it took Yun Xiao, a near-saint, a great deal of effort to expel the poison.
After the death of Yun Zhongzi, the Phyllogeus took advantage of Deng ChanYu's weakened cultivation when her magic was depleted. It grabbed Yun Zhongzi's water and fire flower basket and even ate a peach tree, gaining significant cultivation.
The Phyllogeus has grudges with both Deng ChanYu and Yun Xiao, especially Yun Xiao. After transforming, she has never been so severely injured as she was then.
Deng ChanYu also considers the Phyllogeus to be a major threat. Even Yun Xiao, as a near-saint, lost her ability to move under the effects of the Phyllogeus's saliva. She herself would be even less of a match. What if this Phyllogeus came seeking revenge under the guise of Yun Zhongzi?
Then let's use the old method of the people of Honghuang, kill it!
Deng ChanYu asked, "Did you see that flying snake enter your cave, and then disappear? Where did you see it?"
The catfish spirit had a deep impression of this incident, for it was truly terrifying back then with the Phyllogeus. Deng ChanYu was also terrifying in his eyes, but they could communicate normally. The ancient insect Phyllogeus wouldn't even deign to communicate with a mere catfish spirit like him.
He pointed to a direction: "The humble one thinks it's in that direction. I remember that I saw a stone forest at that time."
Without saying another word, Yun Xiao set off to search the stone forest with a flash of sword light, and Deng ChanYu also pursued after her using the technique of transforming into a rainbow.
The catfish spirit looked at the leftover snake meat they had eaten and then at the sky, daring to approach and take another bite.
Who knew that a portal appeared in the sky, and Deng ChanYu flicked her finger to pull him over.
"Is this it?"
What's wrong with eating more? It's not like it's wasted! The catfish spirit didn't dare to think much, lifted his head, and looked around with his two tiny bean-sized eyes.
It was indeed a stone forest. He carefully reflected on it for a while, nodded heavily, and said it was here.
Deng ChanYu waved her hand. Alright, you're done here.
She and Yun Xiao walked deeper into the stone forest.
Fearful of the surprise attack from the Phyllogeus, they walked slowly.
The path in the stone forest was muddy, surrounded by odd-shaped rocks. Through the dim light, it looked as if a group of monsters with bared teeth and claws were looming.
Yun Xiao pulled out her sword, and Deng ChanYu looked around cautiously. Her phoenix staff and five-color stones were all prepared, and the measuring rod was hidden within her spiritual realm.
The aura of death around the two of them was quite heavy, which scared a turtle so much that it tried to crawl as fast as it could in the middle of the path to get away from them.
Without saying a word, Deng ChanYu kicked with a single foot, sending the turtle flying through the air.
"Ha ha" Yun Xiao chuckled: "Seeing you like this makes me think of Bixiao. Back then, Bixiao also kicked a turtle and got caught by the Turtle Spirit Sister. That's why we brothers and sisters have been at odds with the Turtle Spirit Sister ever since. What are you looking at?"
Deng ChanYu pointed, and Yun Xiao looked in the direction she indicated. There lay a large and three small turtles, all lying in a puddle. The big turtle looked at Deng ChanYu with extreme hostility, and she felt somewhat uneasy. Could it be that I accidentally kicked the mother turtle away? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Ah, something's wrong. These aren't ordinary turtles; they're the mysterious tortoises, aren't they?" She noticed something amiss.
Yun Xiao's brother and sister had always been at odds with the Turtle Spirit Mother. Looking over, they discovered that these were indeed Xuanwu tortoises, a species related to the Turtle Spirit Mother. The ancestors of the Xuanwu tortoises are the divine tortoises, which became one with the Flying Snake, forming the well-known Honghuang deity known as Zhi Ming God of Xuanwu (the Chinese mythical turtle god associated with water and winter).
