Chapter 244 The Dao Spreads to All Directions, Gods and Demons Steal the Law (23)

On the outskirts of the Baidi Mountains, there was once a small mountain village on the front line of the fight against floods.

As a small mountain village that once didn't even deserve a name, it has become one of the main hubs connecting the mountains to the outside world after successfully fighting the flood.

Over time, the village was simply renamed Anti-Flood Village.

Because it is located on the front line of flood control, this village has the most complete reservoirs, canals and water conservancy facilities in the entire Baidi Mountain area.

Despite being built years ago, the facilities are still functioning normally thanks to the concrete pouring.

However, as the water level decreased and the floodwaters receded, a considerable number of reservoirs and canals were abandoned.

Compared to those reservoirs and canals built with wooden piles, sand, and blue bricks.

These concrete buildings have withstood the elements and remain intact, but few people come here anymore.

Especially in the areas where the water receded first, grass and trees have already grown back.

"That prophet was truly wise; he actually created these things that are harder than rock..."

"Moreover, this kind of thing can be used by ordinary people without any restrictions."

Bathing in the open-air reservoir, a beautiful woman couldn't help but sigh.

This beautiful woman is none other than...

It was Yin Fei, the night wanderer who had saved Huo Ji at the last moment a few years ago.

His naked body was immersed in the not-so-clean water, and ripples were spreading out, quickly turning the surrounding water clean.

"I said, did you hear me?"

As Yinfei turned around, the mantis by the reservoir simply stared at her indifferently, without saying a word.

"After all, I'm the one who rescued you from the battlefield..."

"Can't you at least show some gratitude to me, your savior?"

With a playful expression on his face, Yin Fei's every move exuded ultimate allure.

Unfortunately, the flower mantis lacks human aesthetic sense, so it simply replied in a stiff tone.

"You saved me, so I volunteered to become your bodyguard. Isn't that enough?"

Flower Mantis was indeed rescued from that great battle by Hidden Fly, but he was also very clear that Hidden Fly had ulterior motives for rescuing him.

"Of course not, I don't need your protection."

His dismissive tone revealed undisguised arrogance, and Yin Fei continued speaking.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the mountain people have started to find a way to replace the wooden piles with steel and build a super large reservoir nearby."

"Do you think this idea came from the prophet? Or was it the idea of ​​these mountain people themselves?"

After silently gazing at Hidden Fly for a long time, Flower Mantis finally couldn't resist the pitiful look in its eyes and frowned as it spoke in a low voice.

“I have seen a complete ‘Luoshu’ scroll, which contains similar information…”

"The prophet called it 'reinforced concrete,' an extremely complex composite material and construction method that is more robust than a reservoir made of simple cement."

The Flower Mantis didn't give a direct answer, but its words already provided Hidden Fly with one.

"So it was that prophet again!"

"But why don't I find it strange at all?"

With a gentle slap on the water's surface, Yinfei darted into the water like a nimble water snake, then slowly surfaced again.

"He clearly inherited Wu Yao's legacy and possesses profound wisdom, yet he is dedicated to researching things that are not respectable."

"If only he could focus all his energy on developing supernatural powers and spells!"

As one of the beneficiaries of the "Breathing Technique," the Flower Mantis naturally agrees with Hidden Flight's statement.

However, the flower mantis is not a mere brute; it has its own thoughts on this matter. "Because this mountain prophet is different from you; he has a vision."

When the Flower Mantis uttered the word "vision," Hidden Fly was clearly taken aback.

"Hehe, vision, what a nice-sounding word!"

"It seems that more than a thousand years ago, a human also used a similar word to me."

Gently swimming up to the mantis, Yinfei looked up at it and smiled.

Do you know what happened to that human?

“We killed her, and in the most gruesome way.”

“Her people devoured her flesh and blood, her pets took her bones, but her soul ended up in our hands.”

"That was the greatest and most sacred soul I have ever seen since I was born."

"When we saw that soul, I—no…we all shed tears."

Seeing the crocodile fly's seemingly crocodile tears, the flower mantis already knew who it was talking about.

Apart from the Huaijiang witch from a thousand years ago, no other innate deity has died in such a tragic manner.

Why don't you turn me into one of you?

"If it's just for my talent, for the breathing technique, wouldn't it be better to just make me one of you?"

After a brief silence, the flower mantis finally asked the question that had been nagging at it.

As mentioned earlier, the flower mantis is not a pure brute; it also pays attention to the external situation.

Furthermore, since Hidden Fly had never concealed its abilities, Flower Mantis naturally recognized the other party's identity as "Gu Huo Niao".

"Hmm, you're curious too?"

"I thought you were really a blockhead, with no ideas of your own at all."

"Come on, lie down and look into my eyes, and I'll tell you why I won't turn you into a Guhuoniao too."

Looking down at Yin Fei, whose face was beaming with smiles.

Unable to bear the other party's teasing any longer, the mantis took a few steps back and then began to warily look around again.

Anyway, the flower mantis isn't the type to pry into things, and it doesn't want to get any false answers from the hidden fly.

Yes, based on the flower mantis's understanding of stealth flight.

He knew that if he continued to press the matter, he would only get a slightly mocking and sarcastic answer.

If that's the case, why should I keep asking?

"Ugh, what a downer!"

"But that suits your personality quite well, a beautiful and proud praying mantis."

Disappointed, Yinfei spat out a few bubbles and continued talking to himself.

"If you keep pressing me, I'll tell you, I just didn't want to disturb the prophet..."

"After all, transforming you into a Guhuoniao requires an extremely large amount of life force."

"And if you want to obtain such a huge amount of life force in these mountains, there is no other way but to slaughter those mountain spirits."

Yin Fei paused slightly at this point.

"Although I am arrogant, I am not so arrogant as to ignore that divine prophet."
