Shi Tianwu shared with you the magnetic field rotation

Chapter 166 Let’s start again

Three days later, Chenxiang successfully weathered the lightning calamity atop the snow-capped mountain, stabilizing his magnetic field realm at the 25th level.

After the lightning disaster ended, Chenxiang happily got up, but the Lotus Lantern on Chenxiang's waist suddenly lit up.

"Ok?"

"Watch out!!" someone shouted to Chenxiang from the roadside.

Chenxiang quickly looked around, but he couldn't sense where the danger was coming from.

Chenxiang suddenly looked up!

The danger comes from the sky!!

An eagle circled in the sky before swooping down on Chenxiang.

Chenxiang was ready to make his move, but the Lotus Lantern lit up and enveloped him.

The light from the Lotus Lantern shone on the eagle, severely injuring it. The eagle, bleeding from its mouth, flew away unsteadily.

"Don't leave!!"

He leaped into the air from the roadside and reached out to catch the eagle.

The eagle turned its head, its eyes filled with terror.

"Is it a demon?"

The eagle flapped its wings powerfully, creating a gust of wind, and quickly fled.

The eagle, suspended in the sky above the roadside, vanished in the blink of an eye, as if using some kind of supernatural power.

They returned to Chenxiang's side, and Chenxiang already knew the origin of the eagle.

“That’s… my uncle’s eagle,” Chenxiang said.

"Hmm, finally found you? We need to get going." said the man by the roadside.

"Um……"

On the snow-capped peaks of Cangshan Mountain, Chenxiang looked towards Erhai Lake, feeling a deep sense of reluctance, but he could no longer stay there.

"Are you leaving?" The Goddess of Cangshan appeared.

"We have no choice but to leave," came the reply from the roadside.

"After we leave, you should be careful. It's best not to show yourself, lest that person make things difficult for you."

“I’m not stupid,” said the Goddess of Cangshan.

"Until we meet again." He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Goddess of Cangshan by the roadside, and went down the mountain with Chenxiang to pack their luggage.

"That's about it," someone by the roadside said.

"Godfather, what's almost done?"

"Let's take this opportunity to go to Dongsheng Shenzhou to find the Great Sage Equaling Heaven," said Lu Bian to Chen Xiang.

“The divine eagle has spotted you, and then the Howling Celestial Dog will follow. We will head east to Huaguo Mountain in Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou. We will not need to stop along the way. I believe that when we arrive, neither the eagle nor the dog will dare to act recklessly.”

"Ah."

Back home, the two quickly packed their things, got on the donkey, and set off.

Roadside: [Finally, they've been discovered by Erlang Shen's henchmen.]

Shi Tianwu: [If they can still talk like this, they must still be safe.]

By the roadside: [I've already set off eastward with Chenxiang. I don't know how long the journey will take from Nanzhanbuzhou to Dongsheng Shenzhou.]

Ding Yi: [If you see the Monkey King, remember to send me a photo.]

Roadside: [Definitely.]

They didn't fly directly, but walked on the ground.

Lu Bian and Chen Xiang left the borders of the Dali Kingdom and arrived in the Song Dynasty, preparing to set sail from the Song Dynasty.

The four continents are surrounded by an endless ocean. Trying to cross the sea to Dongsheng Shenzhou on your own without guidance is just gambling with your luck. You don't know how big this endless ocean is. In the mythological world, it's better to be cautious. If you're not sure, you don't plan to risk crossing the sea by flying.

The Song Dynasty's maritime trade was very prosperous. I often heard in Tokyo that some merchants had sailed as far as Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou.

The plan by the roadside was to go to the most prosperous port in the Great Song Dynasty, whether by hiring someone or hitching a ride, as long as it got to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

In the Song Dynasty, if you travel east along the official road, there will usually be a teahouse where people can rest and buy some tea for a few coins.

He led his donkey to a tea stall by the roadside to rest, and called out to the owner for tea. "Friend, where are you headed?"

At the tea table, a man wearing a straw hat and tattered clothes asked a question to someone by the roadside.

"To Quanzhou," came the reply from the roadside.

"We're going the same way, friend, how about we travel together?"

I glanced at the stranger sitting at the tea table by the roadside. The person kept their head down and was wearing a straw hat, making it difficult to see their face.

"No," the roadside person refused.

"I'm not a bad person. When you're out and about, having more friends means you have more options."

"Is this your son?" the other person asked.

"I found it," the person by the roadside replied.

The other person didn't ask any more questions, drank some tea, and then went to relieve themselves in the woods some distance away.

They pretended to rest by the roadside, but they didn't need to. Their real purpose was to ask the tea stall owner for directions.

These days, there's no navigation, and maps are a rarity. If someone wants to go somewhere, they either need someone to guide them or they have to ask for directions on their own.

After asking the tea stall owner for directions, they suddenly heard cries for help coming from the woods.

"Did you hear something?" The man by the roadside looked at Chenxiang and, seeing Chenxiang nod, confirmed that it wasn't his imagination.

"Go and have a look."

Chenxiang continued to nod.

As Lu Bian and Chen Xiang walked into the woods, they saw the man from before being attacked by several wild dogs.

The man looked so frail that even wild dogs mistook him for prey.

He took the bamboo cane from his waist by the roadside and walked towards the stray dog.

"Be careful!!"

"It's okay, I have experience dealing with dogs."

They showed no mercy to the wild dogs that wanted to eat people, and simply killed them.

He casually used a few moves of the "Dog-Beating Stick Technique" on the roadside and sent several stray dogs away.

"Th-thank you!"

"Brother, brother... please take me with you on the way!"

The man in the straw hat knelt down by the roadside, tightly hugging his calves with both hands.

"you……"

The person standing by the roadside was so frightened by the stray dogs that their legs went weak.

They helped the person up from the roadside, but the person refused to help. They called Chenxiang and set off.

"..."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the man was not angry. Instead, he looked at the dead stray dogs.

"We have dry rations for the road..."

The man in the straw hat took out a small knife, skinned the dead dog, and hurriedly cooked it. After roasting the meat over a fire, he wrapped it in leaves and carried it with him, rushing to catch up with Lu Bian and Chen Xiang who were walking ahead.

Both Lu Bian and Chen Xiang sensed the man in the straw hat, but neither felt anything unusual; he was probably just an ordinary mortal.

After seeing this person eating dog meat by the roadside, I hesitated and ruled out the possibility that he was the celestial dog.

Lu Bian and Chen Xiang were unsure whether Xiaotian Dog could transform into human form, so they remained wary of every stranger they encountered on the road.

As they walked along the official road, Lu Bian and Chen Xiang noticed that they were encountering more and more stray dogs, as if all the stray dogs within a thousand miles were gathering towards them.

"Hey! Friend, help!!"

When Lu Bian and Chen Xiang turned around, it was that man in the straw hat again, shouting for help. He had been targeted as prey by wild dogs once more.

"Ouch!" A passerby darted out from the roadside to help the man in the straw hat out of his predicament, and with a bamboo stick, beat the stray dogs a few times, sending them to their next life.

"Are you okay?"

"Don't follow us. Take a detour at the fork in the road ahead! Otherwise, you'll get eaten by dogs sooner or later," a man in a straw hat warned by the roadside.

"what?"
