Chapter 1149 A Taotie Guards the Divine Fire Ravine
North Sea.
Mysterious island.
After Su Mingyi left the Samsara Illusion, he saw Yu Shuheng looking completely bewildered as Su Xiaoya fought a thunder eagle to a standstill, even though the eagle's cultivation was sealed!
Just, very speechless.
Su Xiaoya finally manipulated the heavenly lightning, scorching the last feather of the Thunder Eagle. After letting out a sharp, piercing scream, the bald Thunder Eagle vanished into the horizon like lightning, without a trace!
Su Xiaoya looked at Su Mingyi and Yu Shuheng, who were staring in disbelief, and couldn't help but laugh awkwardly—she was too caught up in the excitement of the fight and hadn't paid attention to her image.
I don't know if it's too late to salvage the relationship now.
Before the three could recover from their embarrassment, their figures were suddenly enveloped in a beam of light and vanished.
The mysterious old man in white robes only appeared after the three disappeared, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Qingyuan Star is saved!
Those old fogies finally didn't waste their efforts!
Exactly, how many of those old buddies are still alive after wandering for a hundred thousand years?
Hopefully, the three little ones will have a good time in the South China Sea!
Southern Wilderness.
Bu Ting Mountain.
Three-headed Kingdom.
The sound of the waves of Beihai still echoed in his ears. Su Mingyi felt as if he was being enveloped by a gentle yet irresistible force. Light and shadow flickered before his eyes. The next moment, the salty sea breeze was swept away by a hot wind that mixed the sweet and sour smell of grass and sulfur.
The three staggered to the ground, their feet resting on scorching red rocks, each inch of which was etched with ancient flame patterns.
As soon as they stepped on it, a faint fire elemental energy surged upwards from the soles of their feet. If the three of them hadn't possessed profound magical power and incredibly strong physical bodies, they probably would have burned their soles upon landing.
Looking up, the undulating mountain range resembled a sleeping behemoth, its entire body covered with dark red lava patterns. Steam rose from the mountains, and occasionally a fiery red bird would fly across the sky, its sharp cry piercing the clouds. Where its wingtips swept, sparks would fall in a flurry.
"This is... the Southern Wilderness?"
Su Mingyi raised his hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat from his forehead. His cultivation at the peak of True Immortal was like a bound dragon in this land, and he felt a slight stagnation. It was as if his spiritual meridians were tightly wrapped by an invisible membrane, making his circulation feel heavier.
He glanced at the two people beside him. Yu Shuheng was frowning, his sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, scanning the surroundings. A faint golden light swirled around his fingertips. The light, like a nimble wisp of silk, probed into the void, but was violently struck by the unique wild energy of the Southern Wilderness like a raging storm, trembling slightly. He was clearly probing the laws governing this place.
Su Xiaoya squatted beside a rock, like a curious kitten, gently poking with her finger a plant that was entirely red with tiny flames burning along the edges of its leaves.
The blades of grass swayed as she poked them, and the flames, like mischievous children, climbed up her fingertips, only to be instantly shredded into smoke by a wisp of faint heavenly lightning, which acted as a merciless judge the moment they touched her skin.
The little girl looked on with curiosity, and her fingertips teased the newly formed flames on the grass.
"He's sealed off most of his cultivation, yet he's still so energetic."
Yu Shuheng shook his head helplessly. He and Su Xiaoya were both Taiyi Golden Immortals, and his perception of this land was like that of an eagle overlooking the earth, far more acute than that of Su Mingyi.
The spiritual energy of the Southern Wilderness is extremely mixed, filled with a wild and ancient aura. The power of the four elements—fire, wind, thunder, and earth—is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, charging and crashing wildly. There is even a faint trace of ferocious energy mixed in, which is the pressure left behind by ancient ferocious beasts. It is like an insurmountable mountain. If an ordinary cultivator steps into this place, he will probably have his spiritual meridians disrupted by this aura in an instant, and die like a fragile porcelain.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoya turned around and playfully made a face at Yu Shuheng. With a flick of her fingertips like a nimble dancer, a tiny bolt of lightning struck down like a flash of lightning, accurately hitting the flame of the small grass and annihilating it. Fearing that it would wither and die, she quickly transferred a wisp of life to it like a loving mother, causing Yu Shuheng to shake his head and sigh again.
Just then, a soft footstep sound came, like silkworms wriggling on mulberry leaves, accompanied by the faint fragrance of rice, as if nature was whispering softly.
The three looked in the direction of the sound and saw three strange-looking people emerging from the dense forest not far away—no, they were clearly three-headed people sharing a single torso with three heads growing from their necks.
At this moment, the left head of the three-headed man had a somber expression and icy eyes, like a thousand-year-old iceberg, sending chills down one's spine; the middle head grinned, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth, like a row of dilapidated city walls, making it look particularly ugly; the right head closed its eyes to rest, its breath as steady as an abyss, like a bottomless lake, calm and undisturbed.
The three-headed man was dressed in rough hemp clothes, with a straw rope tied around his waist. He held golden rice in his hands. The rice grains were plump, like bright pearls, faintly glowing with spiritual light, obviously nourished by the spiritual energy of the Southern Wilderness.
The gazes of the three heads were like three sharp swords, simultaneously falling on Su Mingyi and his companions, carrying three parts curiosity and seven parts vigilance.
"Outsiders?" The middle head spoke first, its voice rough and harsh, like sand rubbing against rocks, carrying a strong barbaric accent.
Su Mingyi clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, his tone gentle and mild, like a spring breeze, trying his best not to appear aggressive: "I am Su Mingyi. I am passing through this place with two friends and have inadvertently entered your esteemed territory. We do not know where this place is."
"No, Ting, Shan!" The head on the left spoke coldly, its tone carrying an unquestionable authority, as if it were an insurmountable mountain.
"If you intend to search for the 'Eternal Wood' within the territory of the Three-Headed Kingdom, you would be better off leaving as soon as possible. That is the wood of the sacred mountain, a sacred object for our tribe's Sacred Wood Festival. How dare you lay a finger on it!"
Su Xiaoya's eyes suddenly lit up. The frustration she felt from being scolded by Yu Shuheng vanished instantly like smoke. She straightened up, stood on tiptoe, and looked towards the Crimson Flame Volcano, her tone full of anticipation:
"The 'Eternal Wood'? Is it that kind of divine tree that cannot be extinguished no matter how fierce the storm, and can burn away all the evil and filth in the world?"
The three heads turned to look at her simultaneously. The middle head grinned even more broadly, but its tone became more serious: "Little girl, you do have some knowledge."
The "Eternal Wood" grows in the Divine Fire Valley deep within the Crimson Flame Volcano.
Its trunk has a unique dark red color, as if it had been tempered by divine fire.
Its bark is hard and smooth, like steel, covered with fine lines that resemble ancient runes and contain mysterious power.
The leaves of the 'Emberless Wood' are extremely precious, taking a hundred years to grow thirty-three leaves. Each leaf emits a faint divine fire light, leaping like flames.
Its leaves have a unique shape, resembling butterfly wings scorched by divine fire, with irregular curves along their edges.
The fruit of the "Eternal Wood" is even rarer, with only eleven fruits produced every thousand years. The outer shell of the fruit is as hard as iron, and inside is a crystal-clear fire spirit pearl containing endless divine fire power.
Legend has it that the "Eternal Wood" possesses miraculous effects.
Its divine fire power can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases, especially fire-related injuries, which have miraculous effects.
In addition, the incinerator wood also has the effect of warding off evil spirits and ghosts, and can dispel evil forces and protect people's safety.
In the myths and legends of the Southern Wilderness, the "Eternal Wood" is the incarnation of the God of Divine Fire.
The God of Fire created all things in the world with his divine fire, and the "Eternal Wood" is a gift from the God of Fire. Its existence symbolizes the tenacity of life and the eternity of power.
The three-headed man, with his three heads talking one after another, praised the "Eternal Wood" to the skies.
That's it, he even directly threatened Su Xiaoya and the other two: "'The Unfading Wood' is the number one sacred wood in our Southern Wilderness."
"However, the Taotie is guarding the Divine Fire Stream. That ferocious beast is violent and bloodthirsty. Even the entire Three-Headed Kingdom would not dare to provoke it easily."
"If you dare to venture in, you'll be left with nothing but bones."
Uh!
It feels like I'm talking to three people when I'm talking to one person. It's really not my style!
However, Taotie?
Yu Shuheng couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoya, and Su Mingyi also looked at Su Xiaoya immediately—who told Su Xiaoya to have just taken in Taotie, one of the four great ferocious beasts?
Su Xiaoya blinked her eyes; she had no interest in collecting ferocious beasts!
Taotie, formed from the primordial chaos, has a fearsome appearance.
It resembles a tiger, yet possesses canine characteristics, with a strong and powerful body.
Its face resembles a human's, but its fangs are exposed, gleaming with a cold light, revealing its ferocity and cruelty.
Its body is covered with a layer of hard scales, as if cast from steel, making it impervious to swords and spears, thus providing it with powerful defensive capabilities.
Taotie's eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless evil and murderous intent.
Its fur stood on end like steel needles, swaying with its movements, as if proclaiming its power and majesty.
Its limbs are strong and powerful, and every step it takes can cause the ground to tremble, as if the earth itself is shaking beneath its feet.
The Taotie's special talents are truly astonishing.
It possesses immense power, capable of easily tearing apart steel and destroying mountains.
Its speed is extremely fast, like lightning, making it difficult to predict.
In addition, it has a keen sense of smell and hearing, enabling it to perceive all the movements around it and thus better cope with danger.
Legend has it that the Taotie is extremely adept at using its scales and fangs to attack, and each bite can cause fatal damage.
At the same time, it can also emit a deafening roar to intimidate enemies and make opponents tremble with fear.
The ferocious aura emanating from Taotie alone is enough to corrode the spiritual veins of cultivators below the Golden Immortal level. Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would have to put in some effort to deal with it. Not to mention that this place is the Southern Wilderness, where Taotie has all the advantages of the terrain, and its strength can increase by three times.
No wonder the three-headed man's three heads and three eyes were full of disdain.
