Chapter 406 Asking for Help from the Immortal

Listening to the villagers' description and hearing the sound with your own eyes are two completely different things.

Li Chengxi was fine. He couldn't hear any sound and could only see a string of noisy onomatopoeia bubbles appearing on the edge of the screen. But Yang Yiyi heard it very clearly.

To be precise, the sound was not simply loud, but more like a special power that sounded like it was right next to my ear every time it sounded.

Yang Yiyi got scared on the spot.

So, human beings are full of contradictions. They are quite happy when they agree, but become timid when they get to the place...

"Use the bushes as cover and approach slowly. Don't walk too fast. I'll try to keep an eye on your surroundings."

"Brother Li, do you know what that sound is?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it."

After hearing that Li Chengxi had never seen it before, Yang Yiyi seemed even more timid...

But since she had agreed to it, Yang Yiyi prepared herself mentally for almost a minute, and then slowly walked into the bushes as Li Chengxi had said.

I don’t know what kind of shrubs here are. The leaves are green. Maybe because the temperature is relatively cold, there are no fruits on them, but the leaves are still there. Yang Yiyi hides inside and moves forward little by little.

From her perspective, the sound was becoming clearer and clearer, but at this time Yang Yiyi suddenly had a strange idea.

Although the sound was terrifying, one could tell that it was a mournful cry rather than a simple roar.

Li Chengxi didn't show so many emotions, but he found that the onomatopeia bubbles on the edge of the screen slowly moved from the edge to the center of the screen as Yang Yiyi moved, indicating that she was getting closer to the source of the sound.

At this time, Yang Yiyi emerged from the bushes and her vision became clear.

In front of us is a circular area of ​​about 40 to 50 square meters. There is no vegetation such as shrubs. The ground is composed of a layer of black-gray shale with some green moss attached to it.

Looking further ahead, in the center of this circular area, you can see something that is definitely not an ordinary creature.

This creature is shaped like a bird, but its wingspan is three or even four meters wide. Its main body is red, with blue and orange-yellow feathers. It has wings on its back and abdomen, for a total of eighteen wings.

The most striking thing is that this creature has nine heads, and when it crawls on the ground, the heads are arranged in a fan shape.

As the bushes in front suddenly disappeared, Yang Yiyi had nowhere to hide. When she approached, the rustling sound of the bushes attracted the attention of the strange bird, and all nine heads raised up in an instant.

Eight of them are arranged in a ring on both sides of the body. At first glance, they look like hawks, but the head in the center is actually a woman, with a human upper body inserted into the bird's torso.

The woman was youthful and beautiful, wearing feathers as clothing, but her eyes were filled with sorrow, and her tears were like silver beads, falling down.

Yang Yiyi was still confused when she saw a strange bird. But when she saw the upper body of a person stuck in the bird's trunk, her eyes widened and she blurted out:
"What kind of monster are you!"

Generally speaking, monsters are actually ordinary animals and plants that have become spirits, but the image of this creature has gone beyond the scope of monsters.

Speaking of monsters, Yang Yiyi has seen them before, but she has never seen something like this. Even monsters have to say that you are a monster.

When the strange bird saw Yang Yiyi, a look of surprise flashed across its eyes.

"But, but Lady Yang Yiyi?"

"what?"

This question made Yang Yiyi completely confused.

When did I become so famous that even monsters have heard of it?

Yang Yiyi was about to answer, but then she remembered a story she had heard when she was a child, in which a child answered a stranger's questions and was eaten by a monster disguised as a human, so she quickly took out the jade sceptre.

When the strange bird saw the jade sceptre, its eyes were filled with joy.

"It is indeed Miss Yang, accompanied by the Immortal Qingtian!" There are not many people who can recognize the Immortal Qingtian just by looking at the jade sceptre. Even when he met Liu Tianquan face to face last time, the other party only recognized the Qingtian Book and did not know of Li Chengxi's existence.

After a pause, Li Chengxi's voice came from the jade scepter:
"Are you from Taoyuan Valley?"

"I am not from Taoyuan Valley, but I passed by Taoyuan Valley not long ago and heard Father Eagle mention Lady Xia Yang and the Immortal Qingtian."

Wow, it’s Eagle Dad who said that again.

Tian Jue Palace Master Shen Qingluo knew about Li Chengxi's existence because Old Man Ying had told him about it, so why did he spread it everywhere...

"Brother Li, do you know it?"

"It's the first time we met, but I do know each other."

In the middle of the wilderness, there is a mountain called the North Pole Cabinet. The sea water flows northwards into it. There is a nine-headed god with a human face and a bird body, named Jiufeng.

It is a divine bird in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so it calls itself a little god, but Jiufeng actually has many names. Besides Jiufeng, the more famous one is Guiche.

This is because its cry is like wheels rolling over stones, and it mostly runs in the middle of the night, hence the name "Ghost Cart".

It was originally a divine bird, a symbol of good fortune, but was later given the name of ghost chariot and gradually demonized.

The principle is just like the nine-tailed fox. Originally, the nine-tailed fox was a auspicious animal, but later it was gradually demonized.

When Li Chengxi clicks on the detailed attributes, he will see that the name column is empty, and the race column says "Jiufeng" instead of Guiche.

After seeing Ran A Si's incomplete Shan Hai Jing and combining it with the villagers' testimony, Li Chengxi began to doubt. But when he saw it with his own eyes, it was indeed Jiufeng.

"Since you are a divine bird, why are you disturbing the people here?"

"Miss Yang, you don't know that it was not my will, but I was harmed by the villain."

Jiufeng Road:
"I originally lived in Wutong Mountain in southern Xinjiang and was worshipped by people. But a witch not only disrespected me, but even tried to capture me and take my blood. I was no match for him, so I had to flee eastwards. On the way, I lived in Taoyuan Valley for a while. I thought the witch would give up if he couldn't find me, but I didn't expect that I would be discovered as soon as I left Taoyuan Valley, and was captured when I fell."

"Who arrested you?"

"I don't know him, I just know he is a witch with extraordinary magical powers."

Jiufeng raised its wings. Originally, there was nothing on its body, but when it raised its wings, a large, dense red net covered Jiufeng. When it put down its wings, the net disappeared without a trace.

"I have been trapped here for more than a month. During this time, the witch has been using evil rituals to extract my blood. I am afraid it won't be long before my soul is gone."

It pointed to the left, and Yang Yiyi noticed that on the left side of the circular open space where Jiufeng was trapped, there was a pool as big as a well, which was filled with blackish red blood.

"Why do you want to draw your blood?"

"In reply to the immortal, I don't know the inside story. I only heard the witch muttering something like 'Girl, I'm here to save you'."

Maybe it was to draw Jiufeng's blood to save people?

Li Chengxi moved the mouse and clicked on the blood pool to view the detailed properties.

In the pop-up window it said, 'The blood of the Nine Phoenixes can rejuvenate the earth and bring the dead back to life, but it is extremely dangerous. Anyone who touches it will be harmed by it for the rest of their lives.'

This probably means that Jiufeng's blood has a super strong healing effect, but drinking a sip will bring about a serious curse.

Why does it sound similar to the unicorn blood in Harry Potter?
While thinking about all this mess, Jiu Feng lowered his head and said:
"Please ask the immortal and Lady Yang to have mercy and save my life!"

Since he knows the monster in Taoyuan Valley, he should not be a bad guy. Moreover, the task panel says "Jiufeng" instead of "Ghost Car", which also shows that he is a divine bird.

I can help, but it’s hard to say how powerful the witch is...
