In the valley, a peacock basked in the sunlight, its emerald feathers shimmering with vibrant colors. Standing dignifiedly, it spoke with a majestic voice: "Human, return the elixir to me, and I will tell you the source of the aurora!"

Jiang Yan already knew what Kong Que was planning, and immediately threw the wild ginseng over.

The peacock flapped its wings and took flight, swallowing the wild ginseng whole. Then it laughed, "Human, you've won my friendship. Alright, I'll tell you the origin of the aurora!"

It stretched out its left wing and pointed diagonally behind it, saying, "There's a swamp over there; the aurora comes from there! Go find it quickly; that aurora is a real treasure!"

My darling?

Jiang Yan deliberately revealed a greedy look in his eyes and said impatiently, "Thank you for informing me!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yan immediately got up, intending to cross the valley and head towards the swamp.

Seeing this, the peacock hurriedly followed, fearing that Jiang Yanshun would steal its medicine.

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes as he listened to the clattering footsteps behind him; this peacock seemed to be quite ill.

After crossing the valley, the peacock finally stopped following, but its neck was stretched out as if it was seeing its old friend off.

Jiang Yan paused, and the peacock quickly shrank its neck back.

"Peacock." Jiang Yan suddenly turned around and asked, "Is...something dirty following me?"

The peacock paused, looked Jiang Yan up and down, then shook its head: "You're very clean, the cleanest human I've ever seen!"

It didn't seem to be lying, so I didn't feel anything unusual?

Why did all the monsters along the way avoid me like snakes and scorpions, from the crying in the small town to entering the Ailao Mountains?

Jiang Yan was completely baffled, so he suppressed his doubts and turned to continue walking towards the swamp.

Not long after leaving the valley, the surrounding trees became shorter and the ground became damp, with each step leaving a mud pit as thick as a thumb.

Not long after they started walking, Jiang Yan discovered scattered, huge wild boar hoof prints nearby.

The hoof print was as big as a washbasin, and its edges emitted a faint, pungent odor of pigs.

Jiang Yan covered his nose and continued forward. The surrounding trees became fewer and fewer, while the mud under his feet became softer and softer. With each step, he brought up a large amount of muddy water!

Jiang Yan felt his legs getting heavier and heavier, and every step he took required a lot of physical strength.

"I can't go any further. I haven't rested for a day and a night. If I continue, even if I find the aurora, I'm afraid I won't be able to snatch it from the wild boars and peacocks!"

With a thought racing through his mind, Jiang Yan immediately turned around and retreated.

Retreating to the middle of the valley and the swamp, Jiang Yan found a clean tree, climbed up, lay down in the branches, and fell into a deep sleep.

The fact that Jiang Yan was able to fall asleep in the area between the two bosses was not because he was carefree, but because he had more than one chance to revive. He was confident and naturally fearless!

But Jiang Yan's sleep was a real hardship for the peacock!

"Humans have always been greedy. Why doesn't this guy go looking for the aurora? Instead, he's lying here sleeping! Isn't he afraid that wild boars will eat him?" The peacock swooped down and then flew to the branch where Jiang Yan was sleeping, baring its teeth at him, trying to scare him awake.

"Hoo~~Hoo~~~" Jiang Yan slept soundly, completely unaware of the arrival of the peacock.

Peacock moved closer to Jiang Yan, leaned over to listen to his breathing, and after a while confirmed that Jiang Yan was really asleep.

"Could this guy be an idiot?" Peacock's eyes lit up, and his black and gold pupils darted around as a plan immediately came to mind!

……

Time passed, and by the time Jiang Yan woke up, it was already dark.

He climbed up from the branch and immediately spotted the peacock perched nearby like a sparrow.

"Human, you're awake." Hearing the noise, the peacock turned and spoke earnestly, "You truly don't know your place, daring to sleep in a place like this! If I hadn't been guarding you, you would have been eaten by that wild boar in the swamp long ago!"

"Then shouldn't I thank you properly?" Jiang Yan jumped down from the tree, stretched his limbs, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The peacock flapped its wings and flew down from the tree, saying with emotion, "I have saved countless lives in my life, so there's no need for your thanks. On the contrary, I can help you!"

"You can help me? How can you help me?" Jiang Yan barely suppressed a laugh.

"Weren't you going to find the aurora?" Peacock said confidently, "When the aurora appears tonight, you go out and distract that wild boar in the swamp, then I'll steal the aurora for you! We'll meet up in the valley later, how about that?"

Jiang Yan was speechless. Did you want to help me steal the aurora?

I'm too embarrassed to point it out to you!

Jiang Yan decisively shook his head: "That's not good!"

"Why not? Don't you trust me?" The peacock was displeased, jumping up and down and shouting, "If I wanted to harm you, you would be dead already. Why go through all this trouble?"

"No, no," Jiang Yan said, shaking his head. "That wild boar has four hooves, and I only have two. How can I outrun it? But you're different. You have wings, so you can easily lure it away. Then I'll go in and steal the Aurora, and we'll split the profits five ways, how about that?"

"What does 'two one plus five' mean?" Jiang Yan's words touched on Kong Que's blind spot.

"It's a split," Jiang Yan said. "You lure the wild boar away for me, and I'll split the aurora borealis with you!"

"I see..." Peacock hesitated, afraid that she would be doing all the work for someone else.

"Are you worried I'll run away?" Jiang Yan laughed. "You can fly, you can easily shake off the wild boar, finding me will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

"You're right, alright, let's do it this way!" Peacock nodded emphatically.

Just then, from the depths of the swamp not far away, the aurora borealis shot into the sky.

"Now! Charge!!" Jiang Yan shouted.

The peacock instinctively flapped its wings and flew rapidly toward the aurora.

Just as it was about to reach the end, it suddenly felt something was off, but before it could think about it, a loud wild boar's cry echoed from the depths of the swamp: "Roar!! You damned peacock, you dare to come here again!!"

Boom boom boom...

With a deafening roar like an earthquake, a wild boar the size of an adult elephant burst out of the swamp, seemingly pouncing on a peacock in mid-air!

The peacock was startled and quickly flapped its wings to fly to the side.

The wild boar, having gained the upper hand, pressed on relentlessly, repeatedly unleashing its skills.

The earth roared, and countless mudslides, under the control of the wild boar, transformed into rock blades, earth spikes, and earth whips, shooting wildly at the peacock!

"You stinking wild boar, do you think I'm afraid of you?!" the peacock shrieked, dodging and retaliating at the same time.

It manipulates the gale as a blade and uses its own feathers as arrows to launch a continuous offensive against the wild boar!

Unfortunately, the wild boar had thick skin and flesh, and neither wind blades nor feather arrows could break through the thick layer of mud on its body!

On the other hand, although most of the wild boar's attacks missed, they did manage to draw blood when they occasionally encountered peacocks!

"Screech!!" The peacock screamed in pain, but it was extremely tenacious, continuing to fly away while battling the wild boar!

"You stinky bird, have you taken the wrong medicine today?" the wild boar grunted, showing no fear whatsoever.

After chasing for a long distance, the wild boar suddenly jumped in alarm and yelled, "Oh no!!"
