Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, Chen Nian followed Ye Hongling to Tianmo Island, passed through the Gate of the World, and arrived at the Lost Continent.

The goal is to help Ye Hongling find the Vermilion Bird's essence blood and advance to godhood!

"This is a map that Qingyue drew for me, with the approximate location marked on it," Chen Nian said, taking out a piece of paper and pointing to the small red dots on it.

"Qingyue~ you call her that so affectionately. Is it more comfortable sleeping with her or with me?" Ye Hongling teased.

Chen Nian was shocked: "How did you know I slept at her place last night?"

"Because I slept in your bed last night, and I couldn't sleep alone."

"......"

Chen Nian deducted a single six, then got to the point:

"According to her, when the exploration team went out, they suddenly saw a fiery red beast fall from the sky into the mountains."

"The next moment, a fire broke out in the mountain. Fortunately, a heavy rain fell just then, which prevented the entire mountain from being burned down."

"Those fiery red birds and beasts look very much like the legendary Vermilion Bird!"

Ye Hongling stopped teasing Chen Nian. Now it was time to get down to business. "Let's go. I hope we can get the Vermilion Bird's essence blood smoothly. I want to go back to celebrate the New Year and watch the excitement as soon as possible."

"What's all the commotion about?" Chen Nian sensed something was wrong.

"It's nothing, I just left a gift for that princess before I left, to thank her for the message."

"What kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into now?"

Ye Hongling looked aggrieved: "Don't think of your sister as some kind of villain. I just sent a message to your little seventh sister, inviting her to come to your house for the New Year. Is there a problem with that?"

".......?!"

If Su Jinyu came and saw so many women in his house, wouldn't he be furious?

This woman is too ruthless. Does she think my house isn't chaotic enough? She wants to keep playing music and dancing... Gu Qingyue will be in trouble too.

"Let's go, let's finish this quickly!"

Chen Nian took to the air and flew toward the coordinates drawn on the paper.

Along the way, we also saw many superhumans leveling up by fighting monsters, as well as the new city-states that the people of the underground city had built on the land.

The journey was long, and even at their combined speed, it took them several hours to arrive.

"It's around here," Chen Nian said, hovering in mid-air.

"I can sense a very strong fire-type energy, I'm sure!"

The two landed on the ground one after the other.

But as soon as they landed, a group of people suddenly surged up from all sides and surrounded them completely.

The group of people had dark skin, wore simple blue-green cloth clothes, wore feather headdresses, and carried sharp spears.

"I didn't expect there to be anyone in a place like this?" Ye Hongling frowned.

"Judging from their clothes and skin color, they are not citizens of the underground city. Could this be the other human race that Qingyue mentioned..." Chen Nian pondered to himself.

At this moment, the lead soldier spoke up: "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Is this your territory?"

"That's right, this is our territory! Don't blame us for being impolite if you don't reveal your purpose!"

Chen Nian glanced at Ye Hongling and said, "You'd better handle this trouble yourself. I'll just watch the show."

"We're looking for a large bird that's entirely fiery red. Have you seen any trace of it?" Ye Hongling stepped forward and explained her purpose.

After listening, the soldier's expression clearly changed, proving that he was aware of the situation.

"Go back and report to the High Priest."

"You, wait here! We are informing the High Priest."

Ye Hongling smiled and nodded. She didn't want to get into a conflict with these humans, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.

.......

There was a campsite in the mountains, inhabited entirely by people with dark skin and simple clothing.

Like a primitive tribe.

"High Priest, I never imagined that this continent would truly be free of those black natural disasters!"

"When we came here before, we were attacked by swarms of black bats every night, but now they've really disappeared completely..."

"Does this mean we can migrate here en masse and seize the resources and territory?"

The black calamity they spoke of was naturally the "Black Calamity," which disappeared after Chen Nian killed Tianlong "Black Sun."

"No rush, let's capture the Vermilion Bird first and use it to nourish the Sacred Spring. The clan chief will surely reward us handsomely."

Zhuque fled here from the Eastern Wilderness.

This group of Eastern Wilderness tribesmen chased the Vermilion Bird all the way here, hoping to capture it and use its flesh and blood to nourish the Sacred Spring.

"This beast is incredibly powerful. It even set up a fire barrier outside, making it impossible for us to break in... It's been five days already, High Priest."

"Heh, it's at its last gasp; it won't last much longer."

Just then, a warrior rushed in to report: "High Priest, outsiders have arrived, also looking for the Vermilion Bird! Should we drive them away, or kill them on the spot?"

"outsider?"

The high priest smiled and said, "No rush, I'll go take a look. Maybe we can still make use of them."

........

Chen Nian and Ye Hongling waited for a while before the person finally arrived.

An elderly man with gray hair walked in surrounded by a crowd. He was holding a white bone scepter, wearing a black robe and a bone necklace. He appeared to be the high priest they were talking about.

"Are you the High Priest?" Ye Hongling stepped forward and asked.

"Heh heh, I heard you've come looking for the Vermilion Bird. Do you know that the Vermilion Bird is our guardian beast?" the high priest asked in a deep voice.

Chen Nian laughed.

What the hell is your guardian beast? The Vermilion Bird clearly fell from the sky and almost burned down this mountain. Is this how you treat your guardian beast?

However, he didn't expose them, wanting to see what they were really up to.

"We have no intention of offending the divine beast. We only wish to borrow a drop of Vermilion Bird's essence blood. We beg the High Priest to grant our request." Ye Hongling's attitude was respectful.

"What do you want to do with the Vermilion Bird's essence blood?"

Ye Hongling asked with a puzzled look, "Strange, I want to take the essence blood of your guardian beast, why aren't you angry at all? Instead, you're asking me why. Could it be that this guardian beast is fake?"

"How dare you! You dare to plot against our guardian beast!" someone immediately shouted.

The high priest cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Young people, although the Vermilion Bird is our clan's guardian beast, it is not impossible for you to pass the trials set by the Vermilion Bird if you have the ability."

Chen Nian couldn't help but interject: "A veteran actor who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy?"

"Where is Beijing Film Academy? And what is a veteran actor?" the High Priest asked, puzzled.

"Ignore him, he always talks nonsense." Ye Hongling smiled and shook her head. "Please lead the way, let's try out the Vermilion Bird's trial."

"Young man, you have some nerve! Someone, take them over."

After Chen Nian and his companion left, the subordinate couldn't help but ask, "High Priest, are we really going to send them to retrieve the Vermilion Bird's essence blood?"

"Idiot, of course we'll use them to break through the Vermilion Bird Barrier, and then we'll reap the benefits."

"The High Priest is wise!"
