No sooner had Jiang Yan left than Chao Ge arrived riding a crane.

"The crooked old tree... found it!"

Chaoge looked around in the air and quickly found the crooked old tree halfway up the mountain!

He hurriedly steered the golden crane to land under the tree, and the next moment, his expression changed drastically!

"This grave..." Chaoge looked at the obviously disturbed grave mound with suspicion, her fists slowly clenching.

"It seems that Jiang Ziya was here when you just left," Emperor Jinhui chuckled softly.

"It's impossible for such a coincidence! I don't believe it!" Chaoge couldn't accept this fact. With a dark face, he quickly dug up the grave, unearthing the elven mage's skeleton and tattered clothes and jewelry.

There was nothing else!

Chaoge carefully examined the clothes and jewelry, but unfortunately found nothing.

"How could this happen..." Chaoge stood there, utterly dejected.

"Do you remember the cry of the eagle we heard?" Emperor Jinhui asked with amusement.

"I remember you said that was the cry of the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle, wait! Could it be..." Chaoge suddenly thought of a possibility, and his face became even more unsightly!

"Hehehehe..." Di Jinhui chuckled coldly, "The Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle doesn't like water, so it usually doesn't appear by the sea. But it just happened to appear when you left Tianyin Mountain, and this place was just robbed... I think that Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle must be Jiang Taigong's mount."

The Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle... a creature that, when fully grown, could rival the Spirit-level BOSS, the Golden Serpent... Jiang Ziya's mount...

Damn it, damn it!

The jealousy and greed in Chaoge's heart suddenly ignited like wildfire!

Normally, he wouldn't be so jealous, but things are different now. He was parasitized by the Golden Serpent and desperately needed help from something that could rival it. Coincidentally, the Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle was something that the Golden Serpent himself admitted could rival it!

How could this not cause Chaoge to break through its defenses?

"What, getting envious?" Emperor Jinhui chuckled playfully. "Don't worry, that Sky-Splitting Wind Eagle clearly hasn't grown up yet. With me here, Jiang Ziya is definitely no match for you!"

"Yes, that's natural." Chaoge gritted her teeth, suppressing the evil thoughts in her heart, and asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

"The trail has gone cold." Emperor Jinhui laughed nonchalantly, "Go do what you were doing."

you!!

Chaoge was shocked and angry, but dared not show it. She gritted her teeth and said, "I understand."

……

On the other end.

After Jiang Yan used the [Return to City Scroll] to return to Siren City, he immediately took the teleportation array back to the 142857 Novice Village.

Rushing to the blacksmith's shop without stopping, Jiang Yan queued up and immediately pulled out the arrowhead that had just been unearthed, asking, "Boss, could you take a look at this arrowhead for me?"

"An arrowhead? Aren't you a mage?" The blacksmith took the arrowhead, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly turned serious: "This is a magic-piercing arrow used exclusively by the elves!!"

"A Demon-Slaying Arrow?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, vaguely sensing that this arrowhead was not friendly to him.

"The so-called 'magic-breaking' arrow is specifically designed to counter the various shields used by mages," the blacksmith said. "It's just that this arrow is quite old."

Jiang Yan hurriedly asked, "Can you tell where this arrowhead was manufactured?"

The blacksmith said, "The metal used in the Demon-Slaying Arrow can only be found in Vermilion Bird City. You can go ask the blacksmith there."

"Vermilion Bird City?" Jiang Yan's heart stirred slightly.

This main city is the territory of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and we are allied with them!

However, to prevent the news from leaking out, Jiang Yan did not contact the Three-Legged Golden Crow and silently rushed to Vermilion Bird City alone.

The buildings in Suzaku City are mostly red, especially in the center of the teleportation plaza, where a huge Suzaku sculpture stands, and many players take photos here.

Jiang Yan wandered around the area for a while and soon found the blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith shop in the main city is much more luxurious than the one in the beginner village. There are two huge Pixiu statues standing on either side of the gate.

The line of players outside the gate can stretch for hundreds of meters.

Jiang Yan glanced at them and saw that all the players in the queue were warriors.

Unfortunately, the warriors' weapons and armor are worn out from fighting monsters, and they need to come here to repair their durability.

This is a good thing for mages, because they use ranged weapons, so they don't have to worry about wear and tear.

Jiang Yan was too lazy to queue, so he spent two hundred gold coins to buy a spot in the first three.

After waiting for a few minutes, it was Jiang Yan's turn.

Enter the blacksmith shop, which has seventeen counters and can accommodate seventeen players at the same time.

After Jiang Yan reached an empty spot, he handed the arrowhead of the Demon-Slaying Arrow to the NPC behind the counter and asked softly, "Who in your blacksmith shop can forge arrowheads like this?"

The NPC glanced at it a few times, his expression gradually becoming serious. After a while, he stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, sir."

With that, the NPC quickly turned around and went to the back with the arrow in his hand.

About five minutes later, the NPC reappeared and respectfully led Jiang Yan to a rest room in the back.

Inside the lounge, a short, white-haired old man with bulging muscles was examining the arrowhead of the Demon-Slaying Arrow.

After the NPC led Jiang Yan in, he closed the door and left.

Hearing the noise, the old man slowly raised his eyes, his gaze filled with aggression: "Where did you get this arrowhead?"

Jiang Yan stepped forward and said, "I discovered it by chance while I was following in the footsteps of the elves."

Upon hearing the word "elf," the old man's pupils contracted slightly. He said, "I don't know what you mean by 'elf,' but this arrow is damaged beyond repair. You may leave."

go?

Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. The old man's reaction was a bit strange when he mentioned elves... Hmm, let me try to trick him!

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, the metal used to forge this arrow is only available in Vermilion Bird City. Since you can't repair it here, I'll have to find another blacksmith shop."

"Don't waste your energy. There isn't a single blacksmith shop in Vermilion Bird City that can repair this arrowhead," the old man scoffed.

"Then I have no choice but to spread the word and offer a reward in the streets and alleys. I believe that there must be extraordinary people who can help me repair this arrow." Jiang Yan sighed, "But in doing so, the fact that the Elven race and Vermilion Bird City are connected will no longer be a secret."

The old man's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "I don't know what you're talking about! Get out of here!!"

You won't even tell the truth?

Jiang Yan's mind raced, and he quickly came up with another idea. He said, "Old man, I have no ill intentions towards the elves. I came here under the guidance of Chief Frey."

"Hmph, what... Frey?!" The old man's pupils widened suddenly, and he sprang up, lunging at Jiang Yan: "What did you just say?"

Jiang Yan was startled and quickly moved two steps to the side to avoid the old man's lunge, saying, "Speak properly, don't lay a hand on me!"

"Sorry, I got too excited." The old man suppressed his agitation, sat back down, and said, "Human, can you tell me about Frey now?"

He called me...human?

Jiang Yan's heart stirred.
