Chapter 479: Sparrow Reconnaissance Plane! Goodbye, Master
Chapter 479: Sparrow Reconnaissance Plane! Goodbye, Master
"Cuckoo~"
The sea breeze is blue and the clouds are green, and the moon is bright at night.
The sea area stretching for thousands of miles is shrouded by the bright moon. The sparkling sea surface is the same color as the sky. Below the dark sea area, there are also tiny lights, like fireflies and stars.
The chubby sparrow swims in the sea with its head tucked in, silently passing through coral mountains and seaweeds, making "cooing" sounds from time to time, trying to disguise itself as a harmless bird.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the light ahead became brighter and brighter.
"We should be reaching the tiankeng soon..."
Queque muttered to herself. When she came here, she heard Xia Yousheng talk about the characteristics of the tiankeng cracks. Now, based on the changes in the surrounding environment, she could guess a little bit.
The closer you get to the tiankeng, the more suffocating the surrounding air pressure becomes.
Queque has a good ability to withstand pressure, but she did not practice fasting. She swam for too long despite the feeling of suffocation, and her stomach began to growl. She touched her flat belly, looked at the school of fish in front of her, and swallowed her saliva.
In fact, the Phoenix clan has very high requirements for food, but Queque had lived a very rough life in the past hundred years, so she would eat anything as long as it could fill her stomach, whether it was poisonous or not.
"Tui! Tui!"
The sparrow put its wings on its hips, puffed up its mouth, and spit twice in that direction.
The Phoenix Divine Flame roared out and immediately burned the live fish into grilled fish.
Queque raised his paw, took out spices from the small ring and sprinkled them. He originally wanted to eat on the spot, but thought that he couldn't delay his business, so he picked up the large grilled fish, ate while walking, and at the same time continuously released the spiritual consciousness of the divine beast to explore the surroundings, hoping to search for a hint of "human smell" in the vast deep sea.
"Hahahahaha..."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Queque was eating happily when he suddenly sensed a flash of thunder about ten miles ahead.
The thunder carried the pressure of true Qi, which did not seem to be formed by heaven and earth, but rather released by a cultivator. But it was extremely weak, shrinking into a coral mountain.
Because the thunder is so weak, similar to that of some fish in the sea, if the five senses of the divine beast were not different from those of other monsters, it would be really difficult to distinguish.
"It's the scent of the Royal Medicine Garden..."
Queque's eyes lit up and she jumped up immediately, holding the grilled fish that was more than ten sizes larger than her body, and swam towards that side.
Not long after, a faint light appeared in front of us. It was inconspicuous at first, but the closer it got, the stronger the light became, like the sun falling into the seabed, a little dazzling.
Queque did not approach blindly, but released his five senses to perceive, and soon detected the dangerous aura in the light spot.
Queque thought for a moment, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the grilled fish, then hid in the shell next to it with its little paws, then closed the shell, leaving only a gap, and lay at the bottom of the shell with its butt sticking up, peeking out through the gap.
I saw a vast expanse of sea ahead, and the ground was covered with soft sand, which at first glance looked like a beach in the deep sea.
Around the deep sea beach, there stood four towering jade pillars, each of which was engraved with complex patterns. The light was emitted by these four pillars. The light from the four pillars gathered in the sky and condensed into a huge ball of light, like a dream.
On the right side of the deep sea beach stands a huge coral. The coral is as huge as a mountain with its fangs and claws bared. It stands abruptly on the sand and is the only different color within dozens of miles.
That faint breath of lightning came from the coral.
"Rustling, rustling~"
Que Que's nostrils twitched, and she pouting her lips, took a deep breath. As expected, she sensed a "human smell" in the pressure of thunder and lightning. She was about to go over to take a look, but she saw something strange happening in front of her.
When the fishes around approached the coral, the huge coral shook slightly, and then opened its "bloody mouth" and swallowed the fishes around.
"Alas!"
The bird shook its fur and its round body swayed, belatedly realizing the danger. No wonder this coral mountain was so abrupt, it turned out that it ate everything around it.
Fortunately, the sparrow is smart——
Otherwise, all the fat you have worked so hard to gain will be wasted on the mountain!
"Ta Tata..."
Queque let out a breath with lingering fear and decided to go back and report first.
She spread her wings, with a pearl on her head as a searchlight, and tiptoed out of the shell, as if she was afraid of being discovered by the coral. She walked very carefully, like a thief.
Only after it walked out of this area did Que Que flap its wings and use its hands and feet to swim wildly towards Lu Zhan. It looked so frightened that it had completely forgotten that it was the majestic mythical beast, the phoenix.
……
……
"Tick tock~tick tock~"
In the second half of the night, it started to rain heavily on land. The raindrops fell into the South China Sea, and a light rain began to fall on the seabed.
Lu Zhan was meditating on the treasure carriage, letting the water tribe team lead the way. Just now, he swallowed a furnace of Nanxi Shuirou Pills, wanting to experience the power of Nanxi Shuirou Pills.
Nanxi Shuirou Pill is clearly a water-attributed pill, but the moment it enters the stomach, it becomes extremely hot, like a raging flame burning wildly within the body.
The meridians near Lu Zhan's dantian were instantly engulfed by the blue flame, and severe pain followed.
"..."
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised.
After all, Nanxi Shuirou Dan was refined by the demon clan, and the demon clan values a brave body, so whether it is practicing martial arts or refining pills, there will be some body tempering functions.
If these pills were swallowed one by one, they would not be of much use to Lu Zhan.
But after swallowing twenty pills in one go, the effect was still outstanding.
At least, Lu Zhan felt a rare pain.
He did not choose to suppress it with divine fire and true Qi. Instead, he tried to empty himself as much as possible to allow the effect of Nanxi Shuirou Dan to reach its maximum.
After all, there are not many pills that can help him to refine his body.
It's so rare to come across such a top-grade pill, I can't suppress it immediately, it would be such a waste.
Soon, a layer of dark flames appeared on Lu Zhan's body.
"..."
Chu Wantang sat next to him, with the delicious food sent by Xia Yousheng in front of him.
Lingjiu-brewed sea cucumber meatballs, Xianghua-pickled braised pork, and a platter of cold Lingcui.
Due to the need to suppress her appetite during her training, Chu Wantang had a strong appetite. Under normal circumstances, she would have eaten heartily, but now she had no interest at all and just savored the food slowly, obviously lacking interest.
"..."
Xia Yousheng followed the coral carriage and saw that Chu Wantang had a poor appetite. He didn't dare to ask more questions, for fear that Chu Wantang would suddenly want to eat shrimp balls.
But at this moment, a peculiar burning breath came.
Xia Yousheng looked up and saw Lu Zhan sitting on the treasure carriage, his whole body emitting dark blue flames. He was shocked:
"How many Nanxi Shuirou Pills did Lord Lu Zhan take?!"
Xia Yousheng was a general of the water tribe, so he had naturally taken the Nanxi Shuirou Pill. This pill had a strong effect, and it would cause great pain after entering the body. Every time he took it, he would bathe and burn incense to adjust the true qi of his whole body to the peak state before daring to take this pill.
But even so, it is still painful.
The strange phenomenon Lu Zhan is experiencing now doesn’t seem to be the result of just taking one pill!
Chu Wantang ate the fragrant flower-intoxicated braised pork and said nonchalantly:
"I guess there are more than 20 pills. Is that a problem?"
"!"
Xia Yousheng widened his eyes and almost lost his voice:
"How could Lord Lu Zhan do this... He... He... Doesn't he want to live anymore?!"
Nanxi Shuirou Pill is the holy pill of the water tribe. He would only take this pill after bathing and burning incense. How could Lu Zhan eat more than twenty pills at once in such a terrible environment?
For Xia Yousheng, this is like eating green onions without dipping sauce or eating barbecue without garlic.
It would be fine if it were a waste of resources, but the key is... can your body handle it?
Although the main function of Nanxi Shuirou Dan is to replenish true Qi, it is too overbearing and requires extremely high physical fitness from the user.
Even they, the demon race, wouldn't dare to eat like this!
"?"
Chu Wantang put down his bamboo chopsticks and glanced over with a cold look: "Do you have any objections?"
Xia Yousheng felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly explained:
"Fairy, please don't blame me. In fact, the Nanxi Shuirou Pills have very high physical requirements. If you take more than 20 pills at a time, it is very easy... very easy to explode and die!"
"?!"
Chu Wantang looked solemn and looked towards Lu Zhan hurriedly.
Although Lu Zhan's body was burning with flames, his face was extremely pale, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Chu Wantang was a little worried, but soon, these blue flames were absorbed by Lu Zhan. His complexion gradually returned to its rosy color and he slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a vast and pure energy like a dragon or a phoenix rushed out from above Lu Zhan's head, causing huge waves in the deep sea.
"?"
Chu Wantang was shocked by this refreshing energy. He blinked with lingering fear, turned to look at Xia Yousheng, and said coldly:
"What a fuss."
Never seen the world.
Xia Yousheng stared at Lu Zhan for a long while with a country bumpkin's look. After making sure that Lu Zhan was indeed unharmed and even stronger, he muttered to himself:
"…Excuse me, I'll take my leave now."
Xia Yousheng felt hopeless, all his previous surprise disappeared. Now... he just wanted to be a good team leader.
"..."
Lu Zhan felt the changes in his body, and his pupils gradually turned golden. This long-lost feeling of physical training was truly refreshing.
After slowly finishing his training, Lu Zhan looked at Xia Yousheng's back, his golden eyes filled with a majestic and clear aura, and asked, "What happened to him?"
Chu Wantang lowered his head to eat the delicious food and said lightly: "I don't know."
"..."
Xia Yousheng had not walked far yet. Listening to the conversation between the two, he wanted to turn around and explain, but Lu Zhan's gaze was too powerful.
Just a glance made Xia Yousheng have difficulty breathing, as if he was being cooked!
Xia Yousheng's knees felt weak, and he even had the urge to kneel down. In order to avoid embarrassment in front of his subordinates, he forced himself to move quickly to the front of the team, and only then did he feel better.
Lu Zhan did not think deeply, he silently restrained his breath, his pupils turned clear black again, and said:
"The pills do have some effect. I left twenty pills for the Grand Master. Once we find her, they should be able to help her recover quickly."
Chu Wantang was still eating, but his eyes looked a little disappointed:
"Wuyang Palace has no shortage of natural resources and treasures. As long as we find our master, everything will be easy."
Lu Zhan knew that the royal family was wealthy and powerful, so he comforted them:
"Queque has gone out to investigate. Based on the five senses of the divine beast, perhaps they can really find the Grand Master."
"What if we can't find it this time?" Chu Wantang suddenly asked.
"Then keep looking."
"What if you can't find it?"
"Then you go back to Bianjing to take charge of the situation, and I will continue looking here."
"..."
Chu Wantang was speechless for a moment. Thinking of the past of the Grand Master, she felt unspeakable emotions. She lowered her head, her pupils trembling faintly, as if mist was filling her eyes. She had always been strong and self-sufficient, but at this moment, she could hardly suppress her emotions.
Chu Wantang clenched his left hand, letting his nails dig into his palm, but his right hand continued to pick up food and put it into his mouth, pretending to be relaxed:
"Tsk... you still have some conscience. Your training was not in vain."
"Gululu~~"
While the two were talking, a whirlpool suddenly formed in front of them, and in the whirlpool, a fat bird was swimming towards them at lightning speed, with its belly up, flapping its wings and blowing bubbles from its mouth.
Chu Wantang saw Queque swimming clumsily on her back and frowned:
"How on earth does she resemble a phoenix?"
