Chapter 42: The Snobbish Little Bird (3)

"Hehe, since you are an old acquaintance, why don't you tell me what Vermilion Bird looks like and the special conditions for signing a contract with him!" Even the current Head of the Family, Shen Feng, had only heard of his fame but he had never seen the Vermilion Bird with his own eyes. However, the person inside of him had seen it before, and was very likely close to his previous employer. Since he knew someone who understood the Vermilion Bird, Shen Yanxiao started to have a draft about the mythical beast to some extent.

However, it was still a mythical beast!

Although he knew nothing about mystical monsters, just the thought of ‘getting Vermilion Bird meant to be the Head of Family’, was enough for him to be curious about it.

"It was just an arrogant little bird that overestimated its abilities, and it was slightly larger than an ordinary aerial magical beast," Xiu said.

If possible, Shen Yanxiao wanted to open Xiu's head to look at the information about Vermilion Bird. What kind of information is that? What is the difference between saying something and saying nothing?

After all, it seemed that mister Xiu had no intention of saying anything more. No matter how Shen Yanxiao threatened and bribed, she did not continue the topic and instead encouraged her to start her training. Although the Vermilion Bird only smelled a fart in his eyes, but with his ability, Shen Yanxiao had to raise her battle aura or magic to the sixth rank, at least, to make the little bird give up and pay for it. loyalty him.

Without any useful information, coupled with Xiu's whip forcing her to continue her training, Shen Yanxiao could only withdraw her curiosity and follow his orders.

But he also has his own plan.

‘If you can do it, then keep your mouth shut. I can't believe you would be willing to look helplessly as the Vermilion Bird threw itself at someone else when the time came! ‘

They were like ants on the same rope, so what was he supposed to fear?

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Several luxurious carriages were already parked in front of the gates of the Vermilion Bird Family in the morning.

The sage was already sitting in his exclusive carriage and nodded at Shen Feng through the window.

Led by Shen Yifeng, the would-be Vermilion Bird stood respectfully in front of Shen Feng and listened to his final lecture before they set out for the long trip.

"This trip is related to the reputation of our family and no matter the cost, one of you must successfully bring back Vermilion Bird." Shen Feng seriously looked at the four grandchildren standing before him. The long journey was led by the messenger of the God Realm and other than the four candidates from the Vermilion Bird Family, they had only assigned one servant to accompany each of them.

Among the four of them, Shen Yifeng had the highest chance of obtaining the Vermilion Bird. Not only did he inherit the best bloodline, but he was also a rare miracle that one had seen in a century, and the entire Vermilion Bird Family was looking forward to it.

The strength of Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei might be inferior to Shen Yifeng, but their talent was still quite good. They only appeared mediocre due to Shen Yifeng's skill.

The Vermilion Bird had not shown itself in the human world for a century, and no one knew about its condition for a master. If the criteria are not based on their strength, it is quite possible for the twins to get their help.

After all, the mental energy of the twins was a very sensitive thing. If they had the intention to complement each other, then their mental energy would probably be on the same level as Shen Yifeng.

The satisfaction he hid deep in his heart changed when Shen Feng's gaze turned to that thin and weak physique.

Chapter 43: Lava Valley (1)

In contrast to the three high-spirited candidates, Shen Yanxiao stood on the edge with a puzzled look and a sagging expression. He looked like someone who was on his own mental journey, and he did not even listen to what Shen Feng said to them. The only bright and smooth feature on his face wanders left and right with a lack of focus. When one looked at him, they would not see any signs of someone having a long journey ahead of them, and he looked like a cuckoo kid who was forced to join the team.

When he stood next to others, one could see a huge difference between them.

Three attractive and agile youngsters, and an unconscious ugly duckling with a dull-looking confused appearance had stood together. Pretty silly scene.

Shen Jiayi was neatly dressed that day, and she deliberately stood beside Shen Yanxiao. She was very careful with her appearance, and she looked extremely beautiful when compared to Shen Yanxiao's ordinary appearance.

When the two stood side by side, the difference between them was as if one was made of flowers and the other from mud.

A smile of victory appeared on Shen Jiayi's lips. There were only two women in the third generation of the Vermilion Bird Family, and Shen Yanxiao's ugliness made her look even prettier.

"We understand." The three respectfully replied.

This was not only about their efforts to restore the reputation of the Vermilion Bird Family to its peak, but also about the future of their status within the family. No matter who it was, they would not let go of such an opportunity!

As the name implies, the Lava Valley is located between several high mountains with countless burning ash-colored rocks. It was autumn, and the weather was supposed to be fresh and refreshing. However, the temperature around the Lava Valley was so hot that it was as if the air was boiling. Heat waves surged from underground, and there were no plants in the entire valley. From a distance, it looked like a valley of cracks split between the forest, and it was pitch-black.

There are no houses around the Lava Valley. Everyone in Longxuan Empire knew that even the normally hassle-free wolves refused to live there, let alone the more picky humans. In that barren and scorching place, only demonic beasts were hiding there and fighting on their death doorstep. .

Back when the Lava Valley was not yet around, the land was covered in beautiful greenery. The moment the mythical creature decided to settle there, all life was burned by the Vermilion Bird fire until nothing was left. All life then disappeared completely from that land.

Other than the Vermilion Bird Family who would send people to inspect the Vermilion Bird for every generation, no one else wanted to set foot on the land of the dead.

Even when the Vermilion Bird Family's men went there, each visit would inflict severe injuries. The high temperature surrounding the Lava Valley made it impossible for people who had not risen to the sixth level to stay for a long time. Demon beasts lurking in the shadows would also be waiting for an opportunity. Each visit would end with the death of a few people at the hands of those ferocious demonic beasts, and even so, the Vermilion Bird Family was unwilling to leave the land they had long considered their sacred place.

Seven to eight luxurious carriages slowly entered the desolate valley. The leading carriage was much larger than the carriage at the back. The scene was actually quite strange. The area was, no doubt, extremely hot, but the carriages emitted a hint of cold air around it, and were completely unaffected by the high temperatures.

Chapter 44: Lava Valley (2)

Shen Feng had made preparations for everything because he understood the importance of a trip to the valley. The main frame of the carriage was made with Hoarfrost Darksteel so that the people inside the carriage would not feel the slightest heat, even in the scorching hot environment.

The cost for the carriage was enough to purchase an entire city, and with their wealth, the wealthy Vermilion Bird Family could only afford to build ten.

And this time, they used eight of them for the trip to the valley.

In addition to the frost carriages that could help prevent heatstroke, those heading to the Lava Valley also wore heat-resistant ice silk protectors. The closer they got to where the Vermilion Bird was resting, the hotter it became. Without the ice silk armor as protection, they would probably be roasted by the heat the moment they stepped into the Vermilion Bird's nest.

It was reasonable to say that Shen Feng would not send only four guards to follow them as they would enter a place with a harsh environment and where danger lurked around them. But that is the intention of the wise.

Everything that had to do with the God Realm was like a mystery to outsiders, and the power that sages would use to awaken mythical beasts was their own secret. If they were not worried that the four young and longing masters, who had lived a pampered life could not bear the long and arduous journey, the, the envoys from the God Realm would not even bother bringing the four guards along with them.

For their safety …

How powerful was the existence of the God Realm? There were a total of eighteen envoys for the journey to the valley, and the most powerful existences in the God Realm sat in the front carriage of – sages.

Even high-level demonic beasts would think three times about their evil plans for the group, let alone ordinary demonic beasts.

In the entire Brilliance Continent, the God Realm was probably the only one who dared to claim that they had not seen a single strand of demonic beast hair in their territory.

Everyone knew that high-level demonic beasts also had a higher level of wisdom. They are not only strong, but also as intelligent as humans. They would never risk their lives to attack a group of humans with such a powerful leader in their midst.

As soon as they entered the Lava Valley, the human scent from the carriages attracted a large number of low-level demonic beasts. Even though their wisdom was low, they could still feel a powerful suppressive aura emanating from the first carriage. No matter how fragrant the smell of humans was, the fear they felt, instinctively told them that the people inside the carriage could never be used to satisfy their appetite.

Regardless of how greedy the starving demon beasts were, they could only hide in the darkness and continue to smell a fragrant scent that they had not breathed for a long time to comfort themselves.

The carriage where Shen Yanxiao was in the second to last position of the group. Although the god messengers from the God Realm were arrogant, they knew the importance of the trip. They were in charge of the front and back of the group to prevent attacks from stupid demon beasts.

"Ck ck, the view is sad, as if a nuclear bomb went off here." Shen Yanxiao scanned her surroundings through the thin cloth covering the window.

He was the only one in the whole car. Guards assigned to him have been ‘borrowed’ by Shen Jiayi on the grounds ‘power insufficient’ on the second day after their departure. The horses that pulled the frost carriages were specially selected heat-resistant military horses, and they would follow the front carriages automatically, and thus they did not need a driver for the carriages.

As long as he remained inside the carriage, no one would pay attention to anything Shen Yanxiao did there, even if she did a somersault. So he did not pay attention to his own words or actions because he did not have to worry that anyone would be surprised by it.
