Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 201 Valley
"Boom boom boom!"

Fireballs hit the giant one after another, burning him so much that he screamed in pain. He raised his hands to grab Gu Jingnian, who was in the air with flaming wings surrounding him.

"Get out of here!" the giant roared.

A fireball directly hit his big mouth, burning him so much that he jumped up in rage.

The earth shook twice, and some tents in the valley were knocked down.

"My tent! Who dares to cause trouble?!"

Suddenly, an extremely majestic voice came from the valley, so loud that it even drowned out the giant's roar, like a sudden thunder.

Many people in the mountains were frightened by the sound, wondering which powerful person had caused the thunder.

Even the giant was afraid. He reached into the air with his hands to swat Gu Jingnian as if he was swatting a fly. After failing to hit him twice, he simply turned around and ran deep into Lianxi Mountain.

The valley swayed slightly with his footsteps.

The flying car finally got out of the giant's hands. The Jade man tried his best to fan the car and the Shi man tried his best to control it. They stabilized the car and slowly descended into the valley.

Everyone is still on alert.

Including Gu Jingnian, no one dared to extinguish their fire wings after falling.

They looked around, trying to find the master whose words had just shocked the entire valley among the countless strange people and beasts.

"Don't worry." Ji Xiangming landed beside Gu Jingnian and said to comfort everyone, "It was the white frog who spoke just now."

"Crayon frog?"

"It's a strange creature, the size of a frog, and it can speak human language. Its voice is so loud that it can be heard a hundred miles away. It sounds very powerful. But in fact, the white frog is weak and can only bluff."

Everyone looked towards the valley again, and finally saw a few small figures jumping and hiding in the crevices of the rocks from afar. They looked very panicked. It turned out that the chalk frogs frightened them and then fled in panic.

"Are they aliens or alien beasts?" asked Hao Pangshui.

"It's hard to say." Ji Xiangming answered casually without delving into the question further.

But in fact, this issue is quite important. If it is a foreign person, he will be protected by the laws of Yong State regarding the coexistence of foreign customs. If it is a foreign beast, this is not the case.

Ji Xiangming turned to Gu Jingnian again and said, "My Lord, let's stay here tonight. Although there are many strange creatures here, the strong ones have already gone into the mountains, and most of those who are left are not strong. With my Lord and Mr. Bai here, we should be safe."

"It's up to you." Gu Jingnian said.

Bai Ji felt a little embarrassed when Ji Xiangming praised him.

Of course he is very powerful, but his special ability is to control water, and it is difficult for him to fully display his skills in this dry place.

However, in order not to disappoint Ji Xiangming's praise and not to embarrass himself in front of Gu Jingnian, Bai Ji turned his back, took out a box of red pills from his bag and swallowed them.

"Bring the water jar."

He looked at the snow-capped mountains in the sky, closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, stretched out his hands, and clenched them tightly in the air.

He squeezed with all his strength, as if he was squeezing a cow without milk, with sweat dripping down his head…Finally, drops of water fell from Bai Ji's palm, gradually gathering into a stream, filling the entire water tank.

You Yan and Hao Pangshui knew the difficulty of doing this here, and cheered.

Bai Ji had accomplished his mission, and wiped his sweat amidst the praises, but he was quite worried. He had taken so many red pills on the first day just to fill a jar of water, and it might not be enough for the rest.

"Let's boil some water."

The next moment, Bai Ji saw the old servant Huo Bo beside Gu Jingnian also took out a box from his bag, opened it, and swallowed a red pill. Then, without picking up firewood, he directly used his hands to blow fire at the fire tank until the water boiled.

During this process, Ji Xiangming hunted a blue sheep and prepared the meat for soup.

The effect of eating meat soup on Bai Ji's physical recovery was far less than that of the red pill. When he was resting that night, a thought crossed his mind - he couldn't wait until he had finished the pills and then borrow more from Gu Jingnian, right?

At night, the sky is full of stars.

Bonfires were lit in the valley.

What surprised everyone was that the bonfires looked quite neat and orderly.

"What's going on?" Gu Jingnian asked.

Ji Xiangming whispered, "That's a small rebel camp."

"Rebels?"

"My Lord, you know them too. They are the rebels Mi Sheng and Guan Tianze. Now Mi Sheng has proclaimed himself the Great General Tiansheng. The rebels are very powerful in the southwest and are called the Tiansheng Army. They have built a city and a stronghold in Lianxi Mountain and often send people here to recruit powerful strangers."

Gu Jingnian asked: "Won't the imperial court suppress them?"

"Your Highness is busy with disaster relief and cannot spare any time for the time being. And Your Highness said that the situation in the southwest is so severe because people's livelihood is in dire straits. Only by taking care of the people first can the foundation of the rebels be disintegrated."

"I'll go and take a look." Gu Jingnian said.

Ji Xiangming wanted to dissuade him, but all he said was, "My lord, be careful." Gu Jingnian then walked into the valley, and saw all kinds of strange people around him. Some looked weird, and some were no different from ordinary people. They were all waiting for more changes in Lian Xi Mountain, so they were trying to live in peace in the chaos.

--------

Outside a big tent, Guan Tianze was standing with his hands behind his back, looking up at the other side of the valley.

He had just seen from afar the scene of Gu Jingnian fighting with the giant in the air, and was thinking about whether he should go and meet Gu Jingnian.

Standing behind him was an old man with a deformed bulge on his back. It was Ke Mengzong.

Ke Mengzong was a winged man and originally had a pair of wings, but they were cut off by Yin Yucheng's wind blade. If Gu Jingnian had not rescued him at that time, he would have lost his life.

Finally seeing Gu Jingnian again today, Ke Mengzong's eyes were filled with eagerness.

"My benefactor is right beside me, I should thank him in person."

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Ke." Guan Tianze said, "Wait a little longer."

Suddenly, a majestic voice fell into their ears.

"I've heard that the Tiansheng Army is very righteous. If I were to come and join them, would you accept me?"

Guan Tianze looked around and didn't see anyone coming. He raised his voice and said, "Who is this expert? Why don't you show yourself?"

"General Guan has not yet responded to my question."

Guan Tianze then said: "As long as we share the same ideals, the Tiansheng Army will accept us!"

After saying this, he held his breath and waited, wanting to see who the expert was who was coming.

But after a while, three chalk frogs came over stealthily and shouted over the fence.

"General Guan, do you keep your word?"

The voice was domineering and righteous, and there was a sense of disconnection between it and the timid and weird image.

Ke Mengzong took two steps forward and whispered to Guan Tianze, "General, the white frogs are weak. If we use them, we will retreat in the battle and disrupt the morale of the army. Moreover, they reproduce very quickly and call their friends. If we accept three today, there will be 300 tomorrow. There is not much water and food in the mountains. We have done our best not to catch them and eat them."

Outside the fence, three frogs saw them muttering, became frightened, and jumped back a few steps.

One of the frogs was unwilling to accept this and shouted, "The Yong Kingdom's so-called coexistence of customs and aliens is just to win over the alien strongmen, but they regard us as alien beasts and hunt us. We can think and speak, so of course we are aliens. The Yong people hunt us, which is really unjust. I didn't expect that the Tiansheng Army is just in name only, and is no different from the Yong Kingdom."

Guan Tianze thought about it, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "It's okay to accept you! But there is one thing, since you call yourselves aliens, can you obey my military orders and never disobey?!"

Upon hearing this, the three frogs gathered together and discussed for a while.

The chalk frogs had a hard time surviving in Zhongzhou. This time, they heard about the strange phenomenon in Lianxi Mountain and wanted to see if there would be a gap in Zhongzhou. However, it was still 8,000 miles from Lianxi Mountain to Fujie Mountain, and the chalk frogs would definitely not be able to pass. So, the tribe sent the three of them to try to see if they could use the Tiansheng Army.

Of course, it is impossible to work for the Tiansheng Army. It would be nothing more than eating and drinking for free to gather information and wait for more changes.

"Promise him."

"He also wants to use this opportunity to recruit more exotic beasts and use them together, so that he will not lose out."

"Promise me, I'm dying of thirst."

After the three frogs finished their grumbling, they said again in a righteous voice: "We will follow the general's orders!"

Seeing this, Ke Mengzong wanted to persuade Guan Tianze again.

Guan Tianze raised his hand and said, "Mr. Ke, you don't need to persuade me. If you want to accomplish great things, you must be magnanimous. And what they said is right. The Yong Kingdom regards them as beasts, but I regard them as human beings. This will be the reason why the Tiansheng Army will continue to grow."

"Ok."

As the two were talking, they turned around and were both stunned.

I saw a person standing outside the fence, watching the scene with a faint smile. Who else could it be but Gu Jingnian?

The two were overjoyed and hurried over to greet him, whispering, "You're here, didn't the people in Yongting see you?"

"rest assured."

Not only Ke Mengzong, but Guan Tianze had also received favors from Gu Jingnian, so his attitude was quite enthusiastic.

After entering the camp, Gu Jingnian did not treat them as outsiders and said straight to the point: "I came here this time to ask you something."

"It's okay for you to ask."

"It is said that a huge firebird once crashed deep into Lianxi Mountain. Do you know where it is?"

Ke Mengzong said, "Sir, we have indeed heard of this matter, but although we have been stationed in Lianxi Mountain for half a year, we have never been deep into it. However, we have explored many places, and if you want to understand the terrain, we can still help."

Guan Tianze soon realized that Gu Jingnian must have a connection with this "Firebird". He did not dare to hide it and did not want to disappoint him. After thinking for a while, he said, "I am here to interview several important people. They may have clues."
