The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 59: Lich First Battle
"Flying Sword that Slays Immortals?" Shi Mo, who had sensed something was wrong when he discovered Di Jun and noticed his cold and sharp gaze, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the white light flying out of his gourd.

Swish. As the sharp white light approached, a stream of black light also shot out, blocking the white light with a slight tremor.

"Luo Shu?" Seeing that it was Luo Shu who blocked the attack of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in his hand, Di Jun couldn't help but grit his teeth and hate him.

At the same time, with a muffled thud, the terrifyingly powerful Chaos Bell smashed Zhu Rong, who was inside the Hunyuan Heluo Formation, into a heap of blood, sending him flying backwards.
"Let's go!" Feeling the breath of other ancient witches approaching, Shi Mo's eyes flashed, and he put away the River Map and Luo Shu, and pulled Fuxi away quickly, pretending to be embarrassed.

When Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi saw this and were about to continue chasing Shi Mo, Zhu Rong roared like a madman and rushed towards Donghuang Taiyi.

"He is indeed a madman!" Shi Mo muttered to himself upon seeing this, and quickly left with Fuxi.

"Emperor Jun! Donghuang Taiyi!" With angry shouts, Di Jiang and other ancestor witches who came from afar attacked Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi without hesitation.

Amidst the rumbling and violent energy explosions, a huge and earth-shattering melee began.
"Will this be the fuse of the war between the wizards and the liches? It turns out that drinking is the cause of all the trouble!" Shi Mo, who retreated to a distance with Fuxi and watched this inexplicable melee, was also a little confused.

"Brother." Nuwa also came with a pleasant and gentle voice that was a little anxious. Seeing that Fuxi was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shi Mo:
"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, thank you for saving my brother! Otherwise..."

Facing Nuwa's gratitude, Shi Mo also said: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, it is said that fellow Daoist Fuxi was also implicated by me. When I first seized the River Map and Luo Shu from Di Jun, I made a great grudge with the demon clan."

"Emperor Jun." After Shi Mo said this, Nuwa couldn't help but turn her beautiful eyes with coldness to look at Emperor Jun who was besieged by the ancient witches in the distance.

Glancing at Nuwa's rather chilly face, Shi Mo couldn't help but think to himself, "I'd like to see how Di Jun and the others will convince Nuwa and Fuxi to join the demon tribe in the future."

The melee in the distance did not last long. After Donghuang Taiyi used the Chaos Bell to defend himself, Kunpeng suddenly appeared to escort Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi back to heaven.

But after this battle, more conflicts between the two races of Lich and Warlock are inevitable.

After learning from Zhu Rong the cause of the previous conflict, Di Jiang, Hou Tu and other ancestor witches hurried over with the seriously injured Zhu Rong.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, Zhu Rong was rude. I apologize to you on behalf of the Wu clan," said Di Jiang.

Shi Mo's expression was unhappy: "No need for that! From now on, all my Eight Treasures Cloud Light Pavilions will no longer welcome him."

When Zhu Rong heard this, he was about to speak with anger on his face, but was stopped by Ju Mang who was standing beside him.

"What about the future transactions between Babao Yunguang Pavilion and our Wu clan?" Di Jiang asked tentatively.

"Except for the transaction with the Houtu tribe, which remains unchanged, you will have to pay an additional 10% for all other transactions. What I said will not change."

Shi Mo's words made the other ancestor witches look unhappy.

However, Di Jiang simply nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Daoist Fellow Shi Mo. My Wu Clan will offer an apology later."

After Shi Mo left with Nuwa and Fuxi without commenting, Zhu Rong couldn't help but ask, "Brother, Shi Mo is taking this opportunity to blackmail us, and we're just going to put up with it?" "What else? What good will it do our Wu clan if we break up with him?" Di Jiang asked in a deep voice, "Besides, he's already given us a lot of face."

"Is this what you call giving face? He directly offered 10% of the transaction price. How much more spiritual materials and treasures do we have to pay?" Gonggong also said dissatisfiedly.

Di Jiang said, "Didn't Shi Mo say that the deal with the Hou Tu tribe remains unchanged? If you need anything in the future, just ask Sister Hou Tu to arrange for someone to help you with the transaction."

"This..." The ancient witches looked at each other, even Hou Tu was stunned, and then his eyes lit up and he showed a look of sudden realization.

"It's obvious that Shi Mo knows your temper and doesn't want to deal with you anymore. He only wants to trade with Sister Hou Tu," Di Jiang said unhappily.

On the other side, after leaving, flying in mid-air, Fuxi couldn't help but ask Shi Mo in confusion: "Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, the Wu Clan has apologized, and you're still raising the price of the transaction. Aren't you afraid of angering the Wu Clan and affecting future transactions?"

"They can all let the Houtu tribe come to trade with me," Shi Mo said. Fuxi was slightly startled. Then Shi Mo smiled and said:
"However, if they are truly stubborn and insist on giving me an extra 10% in profit, then I can only continue the transaction as before."

"So, Fellow Daoist Shi Mo is sure that they will ask the Houtu tribe to help them with the transaction?" Nuwa asked with a smile.

Shi Mo smiled noncommittally: "I just prefer trading with the Hou Tu tribe. It saves time and effort, and there are not so many troubles."

"So that's how it is! What Fellow Daoist Shi Mo did is considered to be giving face to the Wu Clan," Fuxi smiled suddenly.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, are you interested in coming over to sit with us brothers and sisters?" Nuwa invited with a smile.

"Of course!" Shi Mo, who was stunned when he heard this, also smiled. Nuwa wanted to make friends with him, so how could he refuse?
As he spoke, Shi Mo headed towards the southwest of Honghuang together with Nuwa and Fuxi.

"There are so many mountains and forests here! Could it be the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the southwest of the prehistoric world?" Looking at the increasing number of mountains and forests below, Shi Mo couldn't help but think to himself:

"No wonder Nuwa became the demon saint. You can imagine how many demons there are in the mountains and forests here. Nuwa must have taught and guided some of them while she was practicing here, right?"

"Huh?" Suddenly, Shi Mo noticed an incredibly tall tree deep in the lush, endless, rolling forest in the distance. It seemed to reach the sky, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "How could there be such a tall tree in the prehistoric world?"

"It's called Jianmu, and it can be considered an innate spiritual root." Fuxi's words made Shi Mo confused: "What do you mean by considered?"

At the same time, Shi Mo also murmured in his heart. He seemed to have heard of the name of this tree. It seemed to be a bridge connecting heaven, earth, people and gods. Later, it seemed to be related to some kind of Jedi Tiantong.

"Other innate spiritual roots all have their own special features. Some can produce innate spiritual fruits, while others can be transformed into innate spiritual treasures that can be eaten or used. However, this Jianmu tree, apart from being tall and seemingly containing infinite vitality, is not very special," Fuxi explained.

"Oh right, if there's anything special about it, it's that a world has evolved on top of Jianmu Mountain, a place above the nine heavens. There are lush vegetation, spiritual beasts and phoenixes gather there, and there's even a Phoenix Mountain, which is where my brother and I practice in seclusion."

"Oh?" Shi Mo immediately became interested when he heard it. He didn't expect that Phoenix Mountain, the Taoist temple of Nuwa and Fuxi, was actually located on the top of Jianmu. Is that world independent of the Heaven?

And the gathering of phoenixes and pheasants, could it be related to the Phoenix Clan? Otherwise, why is it called Phoenix Mountain?
