Chapter Index

    The night was pierced by the dawn sun, and the sky gradually turned white. Wei Lin woke up before the first ray of sunlight fell.

    Duan Xi noticed that he was awake before he opened his eyes.Almost at the same time as Wei Lin let go, Duan Xi first retracted the arm around his back.

    Duan Xi asked him in a deep voice: “It’s not yet Mao hour, why don’t you take a break?”

    He stood up and shook the hoarfrost on his cloak, shook his head and said, “I don’t feel sleepy anymore.”

    Duan Xi didn’t say anything more, but stood up and tidied up his somewhat messy clothes.

    Kunpeng spread his wings and shook them a few times, then jumped off the tree trunk and flew to the ground, transforming back into his human form.

    It was especially cold in the north in the early morning, and the temperature at night had not yet completely increased due to the appearance of the sun. Wei Lin simply continued to wrap his fox fur cloak around his body.

    When he met Kunpeng’s weird and teasing gaze, Wei Lin, who was adjusting the ties of his cloak, paused, turned to him and asked, “What’s that look in your face?”

    Kunpeng glanced at Duan Xi, who looked at him coldly, his eyes full of threats, and then moved away calmly in less than a second, as if everything was just Kunpeng’s illusion.

    Kunpeng still didn’t know that he was being threatened by the mixed-race Suzaku bird. He made a zipper motion and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that his eyes are a little twitchy from sleep.”

    Wei Lin: “…”

    Why do you feel like there is no three hundred taels of silver here?

    He glanced between the two of them suspiciously, but both of them hid themselves well, so he didn’t notice anything wrong.

    After cleaning up, it was very close to Mao hour. Wei Linduan sat on the bank of the pool, waiting for the mysterious three-legged golden crow to appear.

    The three-legged golden crow did not keep them waiting for too long. The calm lake surface soon began to ripple. Through the water surface, a small group of golden light could be seen rising slowly from the bottom of the pond.

    “Coming.”

    Wei Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up with light.

    On the surface of the pool, the water mist seemed to be stirred by something, spinning and rising with the appearance of a group of golden light.

    The golden light was not big, only about the size of two fists in diameter. From the dazzling golden light, a golden crow with golden feathers all over its body and three legs could be seen vaguely.

    Just like Kunpeng said yesterday, the Golden Crow fell straight on the dead branch.

    The golden light faded, and the three-legged Golden Crow cub bent its neck and spread its wings to comb its feathers and hair.

    It didn’t seem to notice anyone intruding. After combing its feathers, it started to sing.

    The screams were low and long, and even though they couldn’t understand what they meant, they sounded a bit sad for no reason.

    “It’s calling Di Jun.”

    Although Duan Xi is a Suzaku, he can understand it somewhat. After all, even if the bird tribe’s languages are different, they are ultimately the same.

    Wei Lin pursed his lips, “It seems I guessed it right, it is indeed the Hetu Artifact Spirit.”

    The two of them were talking to themselves, but Kunpeng on the side was confused.

    “Hey no, how come you understand it?”

    He stared at Duan Xi in surprise, as if he was looking at a monster.He is half a roc, which can be considered a bird. Why can’t he understand it even after squatting for several days? But this half-blood half-demon understands it right away.

    Is this half-demon cheating?

    Duan Xi glanced at him and said in an indifferent tone: “It’s just that my understanding ability is better, nothing surprising.”

    “Is that so?” Kunpeng was choked and didn’t realize that Duan Xi was insinuating that he had a low IQ.

    Wei Lin raised the corners of his mouth quietly, without revealing his evil intentions.

    After a while, Kunpeng finally came back to his senses.

    “Are you laughing at me for being stupid?”

    What is the difference between having poor understanding and being stupid?

    Kunpeng thought that Duan Xi was an honest monster, but he didn’t expect that he and Wei Lin were the same.Sure enough, it means that one family does not enter the same house!

    “No, you misunderstood.” Duan Xi raised his eyebrows and refused to admit it.

    Kunpeng gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn’t press his head to make Duan Xi admit that he was indeed sarcastic about his stupidity.

    Wei Lin folded his arms and watched the show. It wasn’t until the conversation between the two ended that he suggested: “Let’s go under that tree first. I’m sure the weapon spirit knows our existence.”

    As for why he pretended not to know, that is unknown.

    According to Kunpeng, this three-legged golden crow will sink to the bottom of the water in an hour. They must go around to the opposite side of the pool as soon as possible to wake up the golden crow that is pretending to sleep.

    “At present, it seems that this is the only way.”

    The three of them reached an agreement and decided to go under the tree to find out.

    The water pool is neither big nor small.If you just walk on two legs, you will probably waste some time.Fortunately, although this small forest can only be entered but not exited, it does not suppress the use of spiritual and demonic powers.

    The three of them just kicked off their feet, gathered their spiritual energy under their feet, and flew to the other side across the water.

    The Golden Crow on the branch seemed to have stopped because it didn’t get a response. It lowered its head and stared at one of its raised legs. Its long and sharp mouth opened and closed, muttering something unknown.

    Wei Lin walked to the branch where the Golden Crow was standing. He didn’t make any move, but went straight to the topic.

    He said to Jinwu: “How about we talk about it?”

    The three-legged Golden Crow paused for a moment, then lowered one of its raised legs.It stretched its neck and looked under the tree, meeting Wei Lin’s eyes.

    Wei Lin didn’t mean to dodge, so he kept looking at it.

    The three-legged golden crow tilted its head and blinked its beady eyes, which were full of confusion and innocence, as if it didn’t know why several strangers had barged in, and it didn’t understand what Wei Lin was saying.

    “Let’s talk.” Wei Lin emphasized again.

    Kunpeng said from the side: “I’m afraid it doesn’t understand.”

    Duan Xi immediately objected: “It understands, it’s just pretending to be stupid.”

    The three-legged Golden Crow was indeed pretending to be stupid. After realizing that it had been exposed, it opened its mouth and spoke human words.

    “Is your purpose also to obtain the Hetu?”

    Hetu Luoshu is an innate spiritual treasure that can be used to deduce heavenly secrets and survey the future. After the disappearance of Emperor Jun, there are many people who covet them.Even if the person in front of him doesn’t have any greed in his eyes, the Three-Legged Golden Crow will not trust anyone easily.Because Di Jun once told it that human beings are the most hypocritical and helpful people. They often put on the mask of weakness to deceive the protection of the strong or obtain unimaginable benefits.

    Humans are not trustworthy.

    Wei Lin raised the corners of his lips and chuckled: “I did come here for Hetu, I won’t lie.”

    Duan Xi and Kunpeng were shocked at the same time. Is it really okay to say it so straightforwardly?

    Wei Lin didn’t think there was anything wrong with telling the truth. At least he knew very well that the more lies were done to cover up such things, the harder it would be to gain trust.

    Sure enough, the Three-Legged Golden Crow was very satisfied with his honesty.

    It flew down from the branch, and the golden light stopped in front of Wei Lin.

    It looked around the three of them and said to Wei Lin: “You are a descendant of the Nuwa clan.”

    It looked at Kunpeng and Duan Xi respectively, “A half-blood Suzaku. I recognize you Kunpeng. Your sudden disappearance made Di Jun worried and looking for you for a long time.”

    Kunpeng’s eyes wet when he heard this. He thought that Di Jun and Tai Yi didn’t remember him. It turned out that Tai Yi and Di Jun had also fought for him back then.

    Kunpeng was moved to tears.

    Compared to Kunpeng and the half-demon, the Three-Legged Golden Crow is obviously more curious about the descendants of the Nuwa clan.It tilted its head and looked around Wei Lin, and said very distressedly: “You have a smell that I like, but I don’t like your personality.”

    The descendant of Nuwa in front of him made him feel a very dangerous aura.

    It turned to look at Duan Xi, who felt the most upright, and was slightly satisfied.

    Wei Lin stood with his hands behind his back, looking directly at it without dodge.He said: “I’m not here to recruit you, but to discuss cooperation with you.”

    “Cooperation” Jinwu doesn’t understand. He doesn’t accept the good innate spiritual treasure, but talks about cooperation?

    Wei Lindao: “You have been looking for Luo Shuba to cooperate with me, and you can see it.”

    The little Golden Crow trembled, it was indeed moved by Wei Lin.Although Hetu and Luoshu are not one, they are inseparable from each other.There was no need to ask Wei Lin what he wanted it to do, Xiao Jinwu said directly: “Okay, I will cooperate with you.”

    Kunpeng and Duan Xi were shocked. This innate spiritual treasure was too easy to deceive, right?

    Wei Lin couldn’t hide his surprise. He expected that it would definitely agree, but he didn’t expect that it would jump directly into the fire pit without asking him what he wanted it to do.

    He said with a teasing smile: “You don’t even understand the situation clearly, so aren’t you afraid that I will lie to you, and that Luo Shu is not in my hands at all?”

    Xiao Jinwu shook his head and said noncommittally: “It’s not that I don’t ask, but that you don’t need to lie to me.”

    Wei Lin was startled. Indeed, there was no need for him to lie to He Tu.If you really want to conquer Hetu, it is not impossible to rely on force. After all, Hetu is not an innate spiritual treasure of the fighting type.

    He arched his eyebrows and smiled brightly, raised his hand and spread his palm, and the little Golden Crow waved its wings and landed on his palm.

    He smiled and said: “Welcome to Ghost Valley, Hetu.”

    Once on the pirate ship, you can’t get off.
