…………

In a relatively hidden cave somewhere in Wanli Savage Forest, Xu Yue had just woken up from a coma. The first thing he did was to immediately open the previous battle records to check.

After witnessing the exaggerated combat power of the Lord of the Mansion, he has become mentally prepared for the high energy level of this open world, but it is obvious that this preparation is far from enough.

The illusory dragon head that tore through the clouds successfully showed him in the most intuitive way how deep the water in this world is. With just one look, he fainted on the spot without even having a chance to resist.

And if it weren't for the existence of the Jiuli bloodline, his fate might have been far more than just a brief coma.

As for why the other party let him go so easily later, it goes without saying that it must have something to do with Chi You, the military lord of this world.

"Chiyou Flag..."

As he was whispering, a plate of golden roasted meat emitting an enticing aroma was handed to him from the side. The aroma of burnt fat mixed with just the right hint of spiciness passed around his nose, and Xu Yue's chaotic thoughts were quickly replaced by surging appetite.

"Master, please eat something first."

Ah Fu's steady voice came to my ears. As an excellent all-round logistics staff, food and lodging are naturally within Ah Fu's responsibility. Now that it is temporarily safe now, satisfying the master's food and clothing problems in time has become the next important matter for this excellent butler.

Of course, given his creative cooking skills, the barbecue, from the raw materials to the marinating, was actually made by the charming cook, Ms. Xia. The only thing Ah Fu had to do was to provide heating service for this high-quality ingredient that could quickly restore physical strength.

At least in terms of controlling the heat, he seemed quite skilled after special practice.

Raising his hand to take the large plate handed to him by Ah Fu, Xu Yue did not continue to think, but started to eat with heart. Now the information about Chi You's military flag in this world was too scarce. Instead of wasting energy on daydreaming, it is better to fill his hungry stomach quickly.

After all, if he wants to leave Mansen safely, the journey will most likely not be smooth, especially since he is carrying a baby divine beast in his hands. He doesn't think that other fairies in this area will let them leave safely as easily as the illusory dragon head.

Time passed quickly while he was eating. After eating about ten servings of honey-glazed barbecue, Xu Yue finally replenished the large amount of body energy that had been consumed by the boiling blood.

After eating and drinking, he casually burned the disposable tableware that had piled up like a mountain beside him, and then glanced at the white-haired cat demon who was still eating slowly beside the fire.

Although the cat demon's eating movements seemed elegant and calm, in the same period of time, the amount of barbecue swallowed by the other party was almost twice as much as his. Ah Fu on the other side almost danced out afterimages with his hands, and he could barely keep up with the eating efficiency of the two big eaters.

If he had not seen her true form, Xu Yue would even suspect whether this guy had some strange bloodline like Pixiu or Taotie, otherwise there would be no way to explain such an exaggerated appetite that seemed to have no bottom.

"Are you full?"

After saying this, Fei Lian's swallowing motion froze slightly. She swallowed the last piece of roast meat on the plate with reluctance, and then immediately pulled the corner of her mouth away and said awkwardly:
"I'm full! Don't worry, when I return to the clan, I will definitely give you the ten gems I promised you!"

"There's no rush for reward, just answer a few questions for me first."

Waving his hands casually, Xu Yue never worried that the other party would be able to default on his debt. As long as the alchemical bomb and the Yangyan flame in his stomach were still there, the life and death of this cat demon would always be in his hands. Compared with future gains, he now needed more detailed intelligence support.

"That illusory dragon head hanging in the sky before, is it the god of your Wanli Savage Forest?"

"Yes, that is the only god who dominates our entire Barbarian Forest, the God of Zhongshan, Zhu Yin."

"But he rarely reveals his true form. Even the dragon head is just a product of his mind. In fact, from the time he awakened his consciousness to now, this is the first time I have seen Lord Zhu Yin take action in the past two hundred years."

As she spoke, perhaps recalling the scene she had seen before, Fei Lian's yellow and green pupils could not help but tremble slightly. She seemed to feel again the piercing pain when she was spying on the gods.

"Zhu Yin?" Xu Yue didn't notice Fei Lian's abnormality. He narrowed his eyes slightly and the general record of the name Zhu Yin in his memory quickly flooded into his mind.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas·Overseas North Classic": The god of Zhongshan is named Zhuyin. He sees as day and night as night. He blows as winter and breathes as summer. He does not drink, eat or rest. He is a thousand miles long, has a human face, a snake body, and is red in color. He lives at the foot of Zhongshan.

Zhuyin, also known as Zhulong, Zhu Jiuyin, Fire Spirit, and Xulong, is said to have a human face and a snake body, more than a thousand miles long. It once held a candle in its mouth in the northwest where there was no sun, and illuminated the dark place.

Even among the hundreds of gods and strange beasts recorded in the Shan Hai Jing, this guy is undoubtedly in the first tier. In some mythological systems, he even has such exaggerated identities as the Sun God and the God of Creation.

And if that illusory dragon head was really transformed by Zhu Yin, then it would not be surprising that Xu Yue would be stunned by the other party's gaze. The two parties are not creatures of the same level at all.

"What else do you know about Zhulong?"

"Uh..." After a pause, Fei Lian finally shook her head slowly. She didn't dare to speak carelessly when her life was at stake. "Except for the name, most of the rest are just some unfounded speculations and legends. They don't have much meaning. He is a god who has lived for thousands of years and basically does not step into the secular world. The entire Moon Cat Clan has very few records about him."

"But what is certain is that He only cares about this Savage Forest. As for us fairies living here, perhaps in His eyes, we are no different from those unintelligent beasts and insects, or even inferior to the plants, trees, and rocks that can be seen everywhere. After all, over the long years, the forests and mountains are often evergreen, while most of us are fleeting."

There was a hint of complexity in Fei Lian's voice. To ordinary creatures who were unable to sense spirits, fairies like them were blessed by nature, but in the eyes of true gods, they were no different from ants. The gap formed by the difference in the essence of life was far more direct and desperate than the so-called class differences composed of wealth and power.

However, these complicated thoughts obviously have nothing to do with Xu Yue. As long as he lives long enough in the Samsara Paradise, let alone the Zhulong of this world, even if there really is a creator god, he will just kill him and use him as firewood.

Paradise is cruel, but its biggest advantage is that it equally gives every contractor nearly endless potential. As for the limit? There is no limit in front of attribute points, just add points!

So when facing Zhu Yin, Fei Lian only saw that the opponent was untouchable, while Xu Yue was thinking about when he could kill the long worm and use it as firewood.

"What level does that Zhulong belong to among all the gods in this world?"

This world?

Not paying attention to the rather disrespectful quantifier in Xu Yue's mouth, the special description of the world caught Fei Lian's attention. Her eyes flashed, but she quickly suppressed the strangeness in her eyes and continued to answer:

"At the level of gods, it is difficult to compare their strength. As long as they are in their own spiritual space, they are invincible. Apart from the constant flow of time, there is basically nothing that can threaten them, even gods of the same level."

"So there is basically no difference between them, they just focus on different directions. In the face of a long time, mastering the six major systems is just the foundation. The gods possess higher powers. For example, Laojun controls the destiny, Yan Ming controls the souls, and Lord Zhulong... It is said that he can manipulate time."

At this point, Ah Fu at the side immediately tapped the black bracelet on his wrist. With a slight beeping sound, a virtual screen was projected onto the rock wall in front of everyone. What was shown on the screen was the bizarre scene of a thousand meters of scorched earth several hours ago turning back into green fields as if time had flowed backwards.

"Master, this is the scene after you fell unconscious. It took less than three minutes for the scorched earth to turn back into a fertile field. I compared it with the images I recorded before. The green plants and mountains after the recovery are exactly the same as before, both in terms of details and location."

"But this backflow seems to contain only dead things. There are no living creatures in the restored forest. There is only dead silence..."

"time……"

Following the explanation, Xu Yue quietly watched the real footage that Ah Fu had taken the time to record with the micro drone while he was escaping. After a moment of silence, he made a firm decision not to easily contact any gods in the future. This thing looked much more powerful than the sea god he encountered during the survival trial.

At least at this stage, he couldn't think of any means he could use to threaten an existence of this level.

"The next question is, this Qiongqi..." As he spoke, Xu Yue glanced sideways at a black iron cage in the corner of the cave. Inside the cage lay the black tiger cub, who was still in a coma.

In fact, this Qiongqi had woken up once two hours ago, but as soon as it opened its eyes, it was greeted with another powerful blow to the back of its head. After learning about the danger of Qiongqi from Fei Lian, Ah Fu would not let this potential threat regain consciousness.

So from the time it was born until now, Xu Yue didn't even know whether this Qiongqi was as blank as a newborn baby or was born with extraordinary intelligence.

"Will this newly born beast inherit the memory of the previous generation?"

"Memory?" Fei Lian shook her head. She was obviously excited when mentioning Qiongqi. She didn't know much about gods, but there were many records of the existence of divine beasts in the tribe.

"The divine beasts only inherited the indelible spirituality of the previous generation, and the spiritual space that has not yet collapsed. As for the memory, this thing has long been eroded by the passage of time. Not to mention the memory, even the body shape is often different from the previous generation. However, even if there is no inherited memory, the divine beasts favored by heaven and earth will never be a blank slate."

"Be specific."

"Well, to put it simply, this Qiongqi, apart from being a divine beast, is also a true spirit-born fairy. In other words, his initial form was actually a disembodied spirit formed by the gathering of pure spiritual essence. Later, the spirit combined with the material spirits of nature to give birth to a physical fairy with a clear body."

"In other words, the heart we saw in the center of the sea of ​​blood was only the last step in the formation of Qiongqi. A long time ago, the Qiongqi in the heart already had some consciousness. Although it is not clear what he learned during that period of time, given the haunted environment in the cave, this Qiongqi will definitely be a thoroughly vicious beast."

After he finished speaking, Xu Yue looked at the black tiger cub in the iron cage and raised his eyebrows slightly. If it wasn't a piece of white paper, the value of this Qiongqi would be greatly reduced.

"So, this thing can't be tamed?"

Recalling the situation in the sea of ​​blood when this big guy forcibly awakened the other party with an arrow, Fei Lian nodded decisively. Let alone taming him, she seriously suspected that the first thing Qiongqi would do after waking up would be to bar his fangs and directly attack Xu Yue.

"Forget it. If I can't tame it, I'll just forge it alive and use it as forging material. I just happened to have promised Panlong to forge a new spear to replace it as an arrow, so it's not a loss."

"The last question is, if we want to find the trace of Chiyou's flag as soon as possible, which force is the most promising?"

"Daxing, the Demon Spirit Hall!"

"In addition to the mysterious Star Palace, the Guild Hall in the Central Plains has the most comprehensive intelligence network in this world. In addition, the treasure pavilion of the founder of the Guild Hall, Laojun, is said to have countless magical weapons. Perhaps the Chiyou military flag is also one of his collections."
