Chapter 45: Lava Valley (3)
Shen Yanxiao secretly gave Shen Jiayi a thumbs up on her efforts to make things difficult for her.
‘You did well!’
If he had to display Mona Lisa's smile for twenty-four hours a day and act like an idiot, how tragic would that be?
He was also very grateful for the crimes of Shen Jiayi and her eight generations of ancestors! 1
"Xiu, was all this caused by that little bird?" The only one who could talk to him was Xiu, who stayed inside him, and he did not mind him.
"Southern Vermilion Flaming Bird. Only the beast was willing to go to great lengths to burn the ground to make such a nest. " It seemed like he was in a good mood, even though he answered Shen Yanxiao's question reluctantly.
"Burning the ground to make a nest? Didn't you say that it was only bigger than an ordinary monster? Why did he have to live in such a large nest? " Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. They had entered the Lava Valley for half a day, but the moment he saw the route in front of him, he knew that their path was still long before reaching the destination.
"The four mythical creatures had arrogant temperaments, and they would never allow any other living thing to exist near their nest. Vermilion birds have fire properties, and prefer hot places. They will only receive a place to nest after they raise the temperature around the area. Although Vermilion Birds usually floated at a height most of the time, they also had a strong desire to control the ground. This place is relatively small when compared to the previous nest. It must have suffered some heavy injuries before it was inactive. Otherwise, I guess some of the mountains nearby would no longer exist. " Xiu's voice was very calm like he was just discussing the weather that day, and it was as if he thought there was no harm in birds occupying such a vast place. It was as if he also believed that the nest that Vermilion Bird had chosen was quite bad.
Xiu might be very calm, but Shen Yanxiao was not.
As a person from modern times, he understood how hard some people had fought their entire lives for just a few tens of meters of land. He was surprised by Xiu's indifferent explanation of how the Lava Valley got its name.
Wasteful! Honestly, that's too wasteful!
It occupies an area comparable to a small town in modern times as it requires a place to nest. How wasteful is that? When he recalled how arrogant those people were after they bought an island, he then thought that their efforts were weak and pitiful when compared to the Vermilion Bird in the Lava Valley!
Shen Yanxiao understood Xiu's hint of a larger size than the old nest of Vermilion Birds. Apparently, to the standards of a mythical beast, its nest in the Lava Valley was as small as a basement.
He could not imagine how vast the residence of ‘official’ Vermilion Birds was.
Moreover, according to what he said, the residence of the other mythical beasts was also very spacious.
Just how big was the Brilliance Continent, since it not only needed to hold so many humans and magical beasts, it also had to allocate a vast space for the mythical beast to waste?
"Xiu, do you also have a large residence?" Shen Yanxiao knew that Xiu had a physical body long ago. Although he did not know the reason he became a living soul within him, he was extremely curious about a place that nurtured someone like him with an overbearing temperament.
Xiu did not immediately reply, as if he was immersed in his thoughts about the past. A few moments later, he replied slowly.
"Hm."
‘Can you not give me such a concise answer?!’
Shen Yanxiao clicked her tongue and continued to ask.
"Bigger than the Lava Valley?"
"Hm."
Chapter 46: The Path of a Witch (1)
"What if you compare it to Longxuan Empire?"
"Don't compare it to a secluded, deserted place."
""
Remote and remote
Shen Yanxiao had to admit. He's tempted!
"Hey, if you get your powers back one day, will you go back to your house?" Perhaps she was too lazy, so Shen Yanxiao started chatting with Xiu about trivial questions for the first time.
I will definitely be back. Xiu's voice faintly revealed a determination he had never met before.
Shen Yanxiao smiled. "Then, as your ally, shouldn't you consider taking me for a walk?" He is very curious about his luxury home that can make the rich Longxuan Kingdom a place that is ‘remote and secluded’.
"Very good." Although Xiu did not understand what Shen Yanxiao meant when he said ‘looks around,’ he could still guess his intentions with the meaning of those words individually.
"When I take back my body, I will definitely take you there."
Shen Yanxiao smiled even more brilliantly.
Luxury places are a favorite place of thieves. In a place where gold was scattered everywhere, it was a good opportunity for them to become rich!
Since he had lent his body to someone for so long, he thought that he should wear ‘sew’ in a certain amount after the matter was resolved.
"It took a while before we reached the Vermilion Bird's nest. Before that, you should practice non-stop to sleep or rest so that you can increase your strength. "
Shen Yanxiao's face became sour
Although his progress during that period was considered stable, it was still a distance to the sixth rank target Xiu had set for him !!
He thought that he just wanted to hunt him to death !!
As they traveled, Shen Yanxiao barely managed to follow Xiu's orders not to rest or sleep under his heavy training!
For two days and two nights, what he had been doing in the carriage other than the carriage was to continue practicing again!
It had been two and a half days since they had entered the Lava Valley, and they had still not reached the Vermilion Bird's nest. That is a cruel reality!
It had been two and a half days since they had entered the Lava Valley, and they had still not reached the Vermilion Bird's nest. That is a cruel reality!
For two days and two nights, he did not even have time to rest his eyes, and if he relaxed a little, Xiu's icy voice would explode in his mind. It was not a sound he would hear in his ear, so even if he pricked his ear, it would not lower his volume.
Every day, the wise man would send someone to send food and drinks to each carriage, and they would continue the journey for the rest of the time. Even after they arrived at Lava Mountain for days, Shen Yanxiao's feet never touched the ground.
Before the day was over, Shen Yanxiao's magic finally broke through rank six under Xiu's inhumane training.
After the sixth rank, Shen Yanxiao had to choose the direction of her magic training among the three classes, and they were witches, witches, and priests.
Xiu is an amazing teacher. He analyzed the situation from the three paths and explained it in a simple yet proper manner to Shen Yanxiao.
Magus had the strongest attack among the three classes, and even among the large forces, they still maintained a decisive role. Powerful magic attacks often have more frightening killing power than siege weapons.
However, a witch was also very weak. They were unrivalled in situations with long-range enemies, but if a strong opponent attacked them from close range, then they would be extremely vulnerable to attack.
Chapter 47: The Path of a Witch (2)
All magic attacks take a certain amount of time to chant, and stronger magic will take longer to chant. The magicians needed a very safe environment to work in because they had to concentrate on their singing, and hence, they were their own extreme class.
They were like kings in long-distance combat, but weak in close combat.
It was the first class that Shen Yanxiao decided to leave behind.
In a real battle, no enemy would allow the magus the time they needed for their singing. Without the protection of a powerful teammate, an unaccompanied vulnerable magus could easily be killed by a melee combat class even if the opponent had a lower level. Of course, an expert mage only needed a short amount of time for his spell, and they could also torture those close combat enemies to death with their plentiful experience.
However, that was not what Shen Yanxiao wanted. He has no support whatsoever, and being in a position to be unprofitable in close combat during the early phases of his training is not something he wants to do.
Furthermore, he was used to split-second decisions, and something as time-consuming and boring as that was no match for him.
The second option is a priest. Their attack abilities were weak, and it was as if they did not have them. However, they have a strong connection with nature and can heal any wound by borrowing the power of nature. Furthermore, they can harness the power of nature to strengthen themselves and their friends. Of course, it's all just a short-term effect.
Priests were a class that relied more on their friends when compared to magus. Without powerful allies, a priest would not even be able to deal with low-level demonic beasts.
The priests of this world were similar to doctors in modern times. They're just more mysterious than doctors, and they're more versatile.
Before she heard his full explanation, Shen Yanxiao had already vetoed a class that sounded like a way for the Virgin Mary.
He did not want to stand behind others and become a parasite that enjoyed the protection of others!
Finally, there was only a class of magicians left.
Xiu was very precise when he explained about the magician, and it was more detailed when compared to his explanation of the magus and the priest.
Magicians were attractive existences in the Brilliance Continent. They are much less aggressive than magus in terms of attack and do not have the ability to heal any wounds. However, they are the nightmares of many people.
Witches use strange curses, but they cannot make a person disappear in seconds. However, they can secretly affect and cause the bodies of others to disappear. They were like invisible poisons that would damage the enemy's life force without anyone knowing. The curse does not require singing, and it only needs to run a signature to activate it. Witches could execute curses in the blink of an eye and cause opponents to become weak. They could cripple powerful witches to prevent access to their magic, and turn them into trash to slaughter their enemies!
It was basically the first choice for a shady person!
As Xiu ended his explanation, Shen Yanxiao became very interested in that monstrous class.
As a thief goddess, it was not her nature to expose herself to attack and break through enemy lines. Instead, he would hide himself in a dark corner, and wait for an opportunity to attack because that was where his interest lay!
The witch class was made especially for her!
"Then that's it!" Shen Yanxiao directly decided that she wanted to walk in the path of the witch who seemed to have bright prospects.
However, Xiu reminded him that not many people in the entire Brilliance Continent were following the path of witches. That was because many thought that they were a very sinister presence. Moreover, they practiced despicable methods, and no family would allow its members to study a class that would humiliate the dignity of their family because they believed a true warrior had to face their enemy head-on!
