Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

Taoist Fan Xuan looked in the direction he pointed and then at Lu Mu's expression, he knew that the young master of the Lu family was confident that he was not going to deal with the group of vicious and violent spirit beast kings, but those who wanted to do something bad to them, no matter whether they were humans or demons.

"As for the reward...you name a price."

Lu Mu knew that it was unlikely to be free this time.

Taoist Fan Xuan touched the tip of his nose and murmured again: "Hmm... Young Master Lu is indeed magnanimous. Then I want a drop of blood essence of the Nine-winged Holy Phoenix."

That pensive look made Lu Mu want to laugh. He had obviously seen through Feng Yaner's identity a long time ago and knew that his group needed his help, so he had to pretend to be so hypocritical. But then again, if he didn't pretend, he wouldn't be considered an unusual "mud flow" in the Qihuang clan, right?

In this chaotic place where both monsters and humans are bloodthirsty and crazy, there must always be someone who doesn't like killing so much.

Feng Yan'er did not hesitate, she used her strength, then broke her fingertips, and a drop of blood with a strong scent popped out. Taoist Fan Xuan saw this and took the blood bead with a smile, put it in a jade bottle, and put it into the spirit ring.

"Everyone, please wait for the news... Although I can't guarantee whether I can wait until the end."

……

At the top of Mount Qishan in the northeast of Baitong City, Lu Mu took some effort to find a relatively clean place for Murong Xue and Feng Yaner to rest.

Hong Ling and Lu Mu stood side by side on the edge of the mountain. He closed his eyes and what he saw in his mind was the scenery inside Baitong City.

There are still plants in the Qihuang vein, but they are very few. They can be found in Baitong City, and he has learned that the news that "the Nine-Winged Holy Phoenix has left Qianyuan City and is near Baitong City in the Qihuang vein" has begun to spread everywhere.

Now, it depends on when the Feitian Bi'an clan will know about this matter... If they stay away from the world, it will not affect their knowledge of information from the outside world.

"Do you think this will work? What if the Feitian Bi'an tribe has no intention of meeting her?"

Hongling looked coldly at Baitong City below.

"We will find out soon. Do you think it would be a better idea for us to go into the territory of the group kings?"

Lu Mu didn't open his eyes, but he knew Hong Ling couldn't refute what he said.

Completely exposing Feng Yan'er's whereabouts might eventually attract some particularly unfriendly monsters. However, compared to forcing their way into the territory of the kings and looking for the portal to the monster realm that no one knows whether it can be opened from the outside, it is actually a better choice to let Feitian Bi'an know that the Nine-winged Holy Phoenix is ​​here and hope that they will take the initiative to leave the monster realm and come to meet them.

And now, all we can do is wait.

Chapter 39: News

The more chaotic the place was, the more insecure Feng Yan'er would feel. But now that Lu Mu was here, she would not suppress her sleepiness.

It's not that she couldn't help it. Feng Yan'er had endured it for a long time before Lu Mu came. Even in the Holy Phoenix Palace, she was still like this. It's just that there is no need to endure it now, because Lu Mu will have other things to do one day, and then leave her alone to guard the empty room.

At that time, maybe she would no longer be so dependent on him, maybe she would still be like a child intoxicated in the gentle embrace of her mother... Who knows.

So on this barren mountain, Lu Mu spread out a relatively soft quilt, held Feng Yan'er in his arms, and let her sleep with her legs leaning against his.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he felt a maternal satisfaction in his heart.

I don’t know whether I should say it or not. Anyway, Lu Mu just doesn’t think about these situations that would be shocking to outsiders.

"Well……"

Murong Xue stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Feng Yan'er's fair and smooth forehead. Her skin was very white, like snowflakes, delicate and fragile. Her fingertips slid across Feng Yan'er's lips. Her pink lips were like flowers about to bloom. When she felt the fingers on her lips, her breathing tightened slightly and her throat rolled.

"Don't tease her."

Lu Mu glanced at her indifferently, then reached out, grabbed Murong Xue's forearm and pulled her away.

Murong Xue glared at him resentfully, and after a while she murmured in a low voice: "Brother Mu's mind is not on me anymore."

This made Lu Mu's eyebrows slightly raised. He raised his eyes and stared at Murong Xue's face for a while, then suddenly said, "When Yan'er can't notice it anymore, I'll talk to you... How about that?"

In fact, he did not particularly ignore Murong Xue, but sometimes he could not understand a woman's thoughts. So if Murong Xue felt that she was neglected, it didn't matter. No matter how neglected she was, she was still his most well-behaved kitten. But it was obviously a bit unfair to her.

They all need to be coaxed.

Hearing this, Murongxue's cheeks immediately flushed with an alluring blush, and she snorted, "Really?"

"Have I lied to you?"

"Well... Brother Mu may have lied, but I probably don't remember it."

Murong Xue really had to put on an expression of serious thinking and turned her head away. Lu Mu laughed and shook his head, knowing that she no longer minded. Looking at Feng Yan'er who was sleeping soundly in his arms, his expression slowly became firm.

The night is very peaceful.

But Lu Mu knew that his four Lu family elders were strangling any lawless people who dared to step into this barren mountain area.

Before the people of the Feitian Bi'an clan could get the news from here, they would lure all the evil villains who tried to swallow Feng Yan'er as a treasure. After about half a minute, Lu Renyou's voice swept through the clouds in the sky and turned into a thread that reached Lu Mu's ears.

"Young Master, we have stopped three more demons and subdued them."

Lu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he just made a slight gesture of wiping his neck.

"understood."

Then the surroundings fell into silence again, without even the sound of the wind.

……

Within the Feitian Demon Realm.

Deep in the valley, where light and shadow were hard to find, a huge beast hundreds of feet long was crawling in the darkness. He had been lingering here for too long, and the surrounding vegetation had actually spread onto his body, but his body was so huge that even though it was covered with green leaves and vines, it was still clearly visible.

And on him, a much smaller Feitian Bi'an was lying there, shaking her long tail boredly, occasionally raising her claws to scratch a few times, or staring blankly.

Chi Xin finally couldn't help herself and spoke.

"Grandpa, I'm so bored."

If there is anything Chi Xin has learned from Lu Mu, it is that she has become more and more sophisticated in her ability to act like a spoiled child.

Ever since she was captured several months ago, Chi Xin's playfulness could not be suppressed at all. She was too young, and everything in the Feitian Demon Realm was too monotonous. After following Lu Mu to see the prosperous and interesting side of the human world, she started complaining on the first day she returned to the Feitian Demon Realm.

Her way of complaining was to tear things down everywhere, breaking everything she could. In short, less than a week later, everything in the Feitian Demon Realm was in panic, because there was a little ancestor with extremely destructive power who was always venting her dissatisfaction, causing the originally peaceful environment to instantly become chaotic.

But what can be done? This is the little ancestor that the whole family loves, but letting her go is definitely impossible, so they can only let her do whatever she wants.

Because there will always be times when Chi Xin is tired.

When she was tired, she would go to the deepest part of the valley and lie on the body of her dearest grandfather.

"Grandpa, I'm so bored."

Chi Xin finally couldn't help but spoke, but if there was anything Chi Xin learned from Lu Mu, it was that she became more and more sophisticated in acting like a spoiled child.

"Oh?"

Chi Xiao's low and lazy voice sounded: "Then what do you want to do?"

Chi Xin blinked, then tilted her head and said fiercely: "I want to go outside!"

Chi Xiao laughed when he heard that.

"No."

"Grandpa, it's so boring here... I'm almost out of energy. I can't eat delicious food. I'm going to die..."

Chi Xiao acted coquettishly while scratching Chi Xiao's back with his claws.

As the great elder of the Feitian Bi'an clan, Chi Xiao, who was once crowned as the Feitian Great Demon Lord, is actually far from being as quiet as he looks. But he is an elder after all, and Chi Xin is still young, so Chi Xiao is not angry. He stretched out his huge claws, caught Chi Xin from his back, and then put her in front of him, stroking her furry little head, and said, "I know you are bored."

After hearing these words, Chi Xiao immediately stopped acting coquettishly and his eyes sparkled brightly.

"But we can't let you go out. You can continue to mess around in here and make some noise. You will get tired soon and won't want to go out anymore."

After hearing this, it would be strange if Chi Xin didn't get angry.

She angrily swung her fluffy tail and howled at Chi Xiao, saying, "Grandpa is bad, Grandpa is a big bad guy!"

Chi Xiao was unmoved.

He had been submerged in the deep valley for thousands of years, and his temperament had long been polished by time into a calm and peaceful state. Even if the little fellow in front of him was noisy, he could not cause even a ripple.

After all, she was young, energetic and liked to move around. Chi Xiao didn't blame her and just let her make a fuss.

Until another breath approached.

Coming from afar was another adult Feitian Bi'an. He leaped into the valley and landed in front of Chixiao.

When Chi Xin saw him, she immediately jumped on him and wagged her tail again, "Uncle Chi Lei! Grandpa won't let me go out!"

Chi Lei thought it was useless to look for me, so he threw her down.

"Old man from a rich family."

Chi Xiao nodded and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"There is some news coming from outside the territory of the kings. Look..."

Chi Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"what news?"

"It is said that the last Nine-Feathered Saint Phoenix in the world has come to the Qihuang Clan."

Chapter 40: It's time to make a choice

Although the Feitian Bi'an clan is not large in number, they also have different opinions on the choice of seclusion from the world.

Chi Lei is one of those people who is quite dissatisfied with seclusion from the world.

Although the number of Feitian Bi'an is extremely small, even in its heyday, there were no more than a thousand adult Bi'an in the entire tribe, and now there are only dozens. However, each of them is ultimately a powerful monster comparable to the Creation Realm. Perhaps this is the reason why their number is extremely small. Chi Xin has had the strength to fight against human Yuanji Realm cultivators on equal terms since birth. After he became an adult, his magical powers improved and he became even more powerful.

They are very strong, so strong that even if there are only dozens of adult members in the tribe, it is enough to make every force in the eight regions of this world take them seriously, and even be wary of them.

But Feitian Bi'an just hid himself.

Hidden at the very edge of the Southern Territory, in the deepest and most dangerous part of the Qihuang Great Vein, they have been isolated from worldly affairs for nearly ten thousand years. Even if outsiders want to enter the vicinity of their habitat, they often return empty-handed.

What are the benefits of seclusion?

This is a question that has been lingering in the minds of many tribesmen, but they have never been able to come up with an answer.

Because in terms of threat, there are too few forces that can threaten the Feitian Bi'an clan. Most of them can only crawl at their feet and rely on them for survival. They are such a powerful clan, so isn't it easy for them to gain a foothold in the Southern Region?

So since the benefits of avoiding the world are not as great as those of leaving it, why should we continue to avoid it?

That’s what Chi Lei thought.

He was also the one who tried hard to advocate for the Feitian Bi'an clan to be reborn and regain the influence that the clan should have had ten thousand years ago, instead of just hiding.

But this is not easy, because the strongest person in the clan, the clan elder Chi Xiao, has never thought about whether to continue to hide away from the world or to come out of it. He hardly moves, not because his life span is coming to an end and he has to use the rest of his life sparingly, but because he himself does not like to move much.

To put it bluntly, it's troublesome.

"The little phoenix is ​​here?"

Chi Xiao's tone remained flat, and most of his attention was still on the little ancestor who was looking unhappy and suffocating, and was thinking about how to vent his anger.

Chi Lei nodded and said, "Yes."

"and then?"

"I want to meet him."

Ever since Chi Lei brought Chi Xin back from the Northeast Region, he had wanted to meet the world's only Nine-Winged Holy Phoenix. However, the opportunity was rare and he could not make the trip. Moreover, he heard that she was extremely alienated from other ethnic groups. If he rashly visited her, he would probably be rejected, so he had put it off until now.

But now she came here on her own initiative, and Chi Lei's intuition told him that this matter was a bit abnormal.

Since it's abnormal, we have to go and take a look.

Of course, he could leave the demon realm directly. After all, he was not a little guy like Chi Xin who had never seen the world and was not strong, so he could be easily caught by treacherous humans and do bad things to them. But he felt that the matter was serious, so he had to talk to Chi Xiao.

"Then go ahead."

Chi Xiao moved a bit, and just raised his head very slightly, and suddenly the valley was filled with panic-stricken people and the earth was shaking.

"And take her with you."

If Chi Xin was full of anger just now, now she has no anger at all.

She jumped up excitedly, and jumped on Chi Xiao's head with joy. To her, there was no point in being angry. As long as her goal was achieved, that was all that mattered.

"Thank you Grandpa! Grandpa is the best!!!"

"Go quickly, don't disturb my rest."

Chi Xiao shook and threw Chi Xin to the ground.
