I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 228 Dragon Eagle
As expected, Lu Xiaowu's attention was diverted by his words, and even Xiao Qi curiously ran forward to look at him from left to right.

How do I start it?

Sect Master Qin pointed to the eight grooves in the ancient brickwork, "Place two high-grade spirit stones in each corner, and it will be activated. It should reach a secret place, where, it's said, there's a giant rock resembling a python pointing straight to the sky. Do you know where that is?"

I know that perfectly well.

A giant python has emerged from the mountain!
Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that they had arrived there. In any case, they hadn't left the territory of Sanqing Mountain. Even if something unexpected happened to this teleportation array in the future, it wouldn't affect the defense there.

But then the other person said, "According to ancient records, that stone is actually a real giant python. Because of its cruel and cruel nature, it was placed on Mount Sanqing by an ascended immortal. However, its soul has been destroyed, and it is just a shell. Its purpose is to deter other demons and serve as a warning not to disregard human life and commit the crime of killing."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but twitch her lips, because Xiao Long had once told her that the stone from which the giant python emerged from the mountain was a real giant python. She definitely didn't believe it, and even said that he was just bored and could mistake a stone for one of his own kind.

Xiao Long was so angry he jumped up and down. He was a Jade Dragon, born that way. How could a python compare?
Although strictly speaking, they are indeed of the same kind.

But he couldn't possibly consider a bloodthirsty python as one of his own kind.

The auspicious beast is naturally perceptive. Although thousands of years have passed, the malevolent aura on the giant python stone has not completely dissipated. Even if it had, the beast could still sense it, which is why it dislikes it and disdains to associate with it.

Tsk, I'll have to apologize to Xiaolong when I get back.

Xiao Qi then understood why her master would occasionally glance at that giant python stone when they were on Mount Sanqing.

"Sect Master Qin, is there a problem with the teleportation array?"

Hearing her fifth senior brother's voice, Xiao Qi turned her head curiously to look.

Yuan Ren walked up to his master, tilted his head back to look at the long pillar in the center of the formation, and asked, "Master, is it broken because it's been neglected for so long?"

Sect Master Qin immediately nodded in agreement with his disciple's words, "Perhaps, Xingyun, why don't we give it a try?"

"Could an ancient, powerful formation have fallen into disrepair over time?"

Lu Xiaowu's face clearly conveyed three words: Who are you trying to fool?
He then walked around the teleportation array. Influenced by his master, Lu Xiaowu, who also had some knowledge of formations, grinned and said, "Sect Master Qin, it seems there's a reason why your sect has remained a medium-sized sect that hasn't been able to develop for so many years. Someone actually dared to come in and steal something so valuable?"

At the top of the central pillar is a large oval-shaped groove, which is clearly different from the surrounding small grooves that need to be filled with spirit stones. There is a crucial element placed on it.

Sect Leader Qin knew he couldn't hide anything from the cunning Lu Xingyun, but he never expected that Lu Xingyun would guess it so accurately.

However, the thief was not a disciple of the sect, but his pet beast, a high-level dragon eagle.

"The most crucial part of the teleportation array is the petrified dragon egg placed in the center. Perhaps because a trace of dragon energy still lingers inside, my dragon eagle keeps trying to carry it away. I chased it away a few times and gave it a good beating, and then it stopped coming. I thought it had given up."

"What is a dragon eagle?" Xiao Qi asked curiously. "What does it look like? Is it like a dragon or an eagle? Can I see it?"

Yuan Ren smiled and replied, "Its head and wings are like an eagle's, but it has the claws and tail of a dragon. It does have the blood of a dragon, but not much. Dragon eagles are spiritual beasts and are very rare. My master obtained a dragon eagle cub by chance when he was training outside. He was much more patient with it than with us fellow disciples. It was his precious treasure."

As he spoke, Yuan Ren glanced at his master. What did he mean by being chased away several times and given a lecture? Who was he trying to fool?
You'd be crazy to give that up!
He strongly suspected that the petrified dragon egg was something his master had taken from the dragon eagle and placed in its nest because the eagle liked it, but he had forgotten about it because so much time had passed. "There are even hybrid varieties like this! I want to see it, let me see it!"

Xiaoqi was both curious and regretful. She was regretful because her smartwatch was out of power and she couldn't take a picture.

"What hybrid breed? That's a dragon eagle, a very rare spirit beast, okay?"

Because of Xiao Qi's words, Sect Master Qin, who originally wanted to discipline his disciple, couldn't care less and emphasized in a voice five octaves higher that his treasure was not a hybrid.

"Yes, yes, it's a dragon eagle, very rare. Can you take me to see it now?"

Lu Xiaowu grabbed the little girl by the back of her neck and struggled to steer the conversation back on track, "Sect Master Qin, the petrified dragon egg can be taken from your dragon eagle, right? We'll be sending some people there soon. Originally, we were planning to venture into the Wansheng Valley of the Demon Realm, but now that you have a safer way, we'll go this way."

"Recently? How recently?"

Sect Master Qin's voice was a little unsteady; his precious child had a rather bad temper, and he really wasn't sure if he could get the dragon egg back.

"About ten days."

Lin Yan went back to pick up Su Changhe, which would take about ten days.

"I try my best."

"Not just try, definitely."

Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, "Yes, definitely. Why don't I go with you? I'll fight it myself if necessary. Sect Leader Qin, how strong is your Dragon Eagle?"

Before Sect Master Qin could speak, Yuan Ren couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's been waited on hand and foot all day and has never left the sect, but it has hunted beasts on its own. What kind of combat power could it possibly have?" It's incredibly weak.

Xiao Qi was relieved. "That's good. Let's go, Senior Brother Yuan Ren, take me to see."

It sounds so powerful and imposing, but it turns out to be a weakling in combat. That's good, it'll be easy to deal with.

Xiao Qi followed Yuan Ren outside. Sect Master Qin, worried, also followed behind the two and tried to stop them, saying, "Um, Qi girl, my little eagle has a bad temper and a strong sense of territory. If you go over there now, it will upset it. Although its combat strength is indeed not very good, it can breathe fire, which is innate and difficult to extinguish once it gets on you. So why don't you not go today?"

Xiao Qi waved her hand without turning her head, "Don't worry, my brother is a jade dragon. I'm often with him, so I might have the aura of a dragon on me. Your dragon eagle might be very close to me."

Sect Master Qin thought the little girl was just making things up to see his little eagle, so he didn't take her words about the Jade Dragon seriously at all.

But to everyone's surprise, just as they were about to reach the eagle's cave, the little girl pulled out a milky-white dragon scale from her storage ring, and it was real.

This was something that fell off Xiaolong's body when he was jumping around on the mountain. Xiaoqi picked it up one time and put it into her storage ring.

Just as she took out the dragon scale, a chirping sound came from a cave about thirty meters ahead, followed by a fiery red figure darting out of the cave.
