Walking along this path, he collected all the various mind stones and materials along the way, worth a total of close to ten million Grade Four beast crystals.
Zong Shou got too busy so he called Zong Yuan to help. He also summoned the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon.
Little Gold gave out excited cries while it was on his arm. It had never swallowed many of the stones here before.
Hanxi showed no signs of stopping at all, like it didn’t care about the things here.
It just flew deeper in, making Zong Shou very surprised. There were scorch marks on all four walls of the cave.
After the Metal Swallowing Beast died, the corpse turned into a stone-like structure, itself could be considered a Grade Six material. What kind of shocking temperature did it have to be to be able to melt it?
The more he thought about it the more uneasy he felt. However he didn’t sense any strong aura.
The birds that were resting around were all chased away by Hanxi.
In just a few breaths, the Seven Star Spell Altar entered a wide space.
This was a roughly three thousand feet cave. The materials within were much more valuable than before. Numerous specks of light glowed on the cave walls.
Just one look at the shape and Zong Shou knew that this was the stomach of the beast.
He instructed Zong Yuan and the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon to each hold a Heaven and Earth Bag to collect while he looked about warily.
Hanxi rushed in and didn’t bother about anything else. It headed to a corner, grabbing a black crystal with silver threads and tossing it in front of Zong Shou.
Its purple gold eyes were filled with a craving expression.
Zong Shou understood. This was definitely something that the Mutated Silver Ant craved. It was also the reason that Hanxi rushed here.
He waved his sleeves and collected them all. There were hundreds of them but they were really heavy. They formed their own space in the bag but it was a bearable weight for him.
After learning of the reason, Zong Shou didn’t care much anymore. In the next moment he was attracted by a ball of flames in the distance.
After getting close, he noticed that it was a bunch of Shining Flame Stone, two hundred feet of them. They were the precious collection of the fire element. Thousands of them ammassed together formed an intense red flame.
Beside it were the corpses of many beasts. On rough look, they were all fire elementals. There were hundreds of beast crystals all Grade Seven. However there were many Grade Eight ones too.
Zong Shou’s eyelids jumped. The bad feeling in his heart got thicker and thicker.
He looked towards that ball of intense flame, in it were several inch sized red eggs which laid there.
Zong Shou reached out without fear of the scorching temperature. He grabbed one of the eggs.
When he sent in his spiritual sense, his pupils constricted.
“Grade Six, Phoenix Blood…”
Although he didn’t know what beast was within, but it had the purest Fire Phoenix bloodline.
Zong Shou was first shocked and then he felt regret. Grade Six Pheonix Blood Flying Bird, its value was no lower than his Lightning Winged Flood Dragon.
However he was destined to have nothing to do with the eggs.
He already had five Protector Beasts and he had limited soul power so he couldn’t control them. For him maintain five contracts already showed his huge talent. Maybe because he only had only Spirit Beast, the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon was his Natural Protector while Little Gold and Hanxi were similar to Natural Protectors which was why he didn’t consume much soul power.
Although the Phoenix Blood Flying Bird was good, but its effect stacked with Hanxi, using its movement speed and its Saint Fire Ability. It was born from the vengeful energy of the world and was destined to kill numerous natural variants, being no weaker than a true phoenix. It could also reproduce, to control ants half a grade lower than it.
Unless he decided to kill Hanxi, if not the Fire Phoenix would be totally useless.
Before stepping into the Celestial Path, he was not prepare to collect more protector beasts. Now he had too many attack ones but too few defence ones. One Demon Eye Silver Bear alone was too weak. He had to be very careful with the last spot.
The moment the thought of him using the Fire Phoenix Bloodline to replace the Silver Ants rose up in his mind, the purple gold eyes of Hanxi was filled with killing intent as it looked at the egg. Moments later that fierce glow disappeared.
Zong Shou scoffed coldly and was lazy to bother about it. He quickly kept the four eggs into his spirit beast bag. He also kept all of the Shining Fire Stones. Below the phoenix were a thick layer of feathers which were valuable too.
After which he kept the Seven Star Spell Altar and he shouted towards Zong Yuan “Let’s go”. The latter understood, not bothering about the other stone and immediately rushing over.
With a thought, the Lightning Flood Dragon’s body constricted, allowing Zong Shou and Zong Yuan to grab one of its horns. His body flickered with light as it flew oout of the cave. It was close to light speed as it dashed out, not stopping at all. Seven Flying Ants charged at the front.
Hanxi led the way and killed all the beasts that dared block them.
Just as the two men and beast were just several minutes into the spirit river, a looud and tragic scream spread out from behind. A vast Flame Power chased after them.
It also entered the spirit river, its speed was several times that of the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon, causing the temperature within to increase.
Zong Shou sighed, as expected. Those hundreds of Fire Element Flying Birds beside the Metal Swallowing Beast, wasn’t that hundred birds facing the pheonix? Those hundred birds were protecting the descendant of the phoenix.
As for the beast crystals, they were food prepared for the young phoenixes that hadn’t hatched yet.
To be able to give birth to Grade Six eggs, one had to be at least at Celestial Realm.
However it was impossible for him to return the eggs. He knew that since he entered the cave and touched the energy within, this High Grade Beast wouldn’t let him off. Why not just take everything from it.
After heading forwards another two hundred breaths, that strong spiritual sense spread through the air.
Zong Shou felt his limbs go soft, he was totally powerless. His soul started to crack and it was extremely painful. Luckily the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon had pure True Dragon Bloodline and wasn’t willing to lose. Although its body was bleeding in pain, but it used all of its potential to increase its speed by thirty percent.
Zong Shou frowned, taking out an Energy Destroying Spirit Upheaval Talisman.
In that instance, there was a loud explosion behind him. Several spiritual marks appeared in the air.
Turning his head and looking out, a hundred feet winged red flame golden phoenix smacked into an invisible barrier.
That huge power directly smashed that barrier. However its momentum stopped and its speed slowed down, causing the entire space to shake. That originally stable space barrier started to shake and numerous black cracks appeared.
Zong Shou relaxed a little as he kept the talisman once more. The reason why the beasts and evil demons were unable to enter this spirit river was because of the spirit formation set by Common People Path and not solely because of the Cloud World itself.
After another two hundred breaths, that pheonix would smack into an invisible layer.
The distance between the two got further and further and the phoenix behind slowly gave up.
Until there was at least a hundred breaths between them did the Lightning Winged Flood Dragon use up its strength and slowed down.
Zong Shou and Zong Yuan were both terrified as they looked behind. If they were a little slower, they would have died to the pheonix.
It was so risky that time.
Making use of the time he had, Zong Shou ate several pills. He also didn’t forget to feed the few flying ants. That phoenix looked over with vicious and vengeful eyes. There was a loud screech which lasted for a long time.
Just as Zong Shou was panting and really confused, he saw several Grade Seven Flying Birds which flew over!
They weren’t stopped by the formation, like a flame wave which surged towards them two.
Zong Shou’s face was filled with shock and loss.
At the same time, Xuanye who was carefully walking within the spirit river looked around in shock.
The entire space was shaking and the cracks around formed and disappeared suddenly.
Just as he was totally confused, a loud shriek spread into his ears.
“…This is, phoenix cry?”
Not only was it a phoenix cry, but the purest bloodline.
What was happening there? Were the two of them alive or dead?
Common People Path, Book Hiding Hall B, Hanfang who was smiling as he looked at Shi Ruolan practice was also stunned. His face was filled with surprise.
“Weird! Why would a Celestial Realm try to enter for no reason?”
He waved his hands and a spirit mirror appeared in front of him, shining through the air. A picture suddenly appeared in front of him.
When he saw Zong Shou, Hanfang was stunned.
“That kid, what did he do exactly? Such that the phoenix has huge animosity with him?”
He slightly shook his head in confusion. In the next moment, Hanfang’s eyes were attracted by several silver white bodies.
Their movement speeds were so quick that his treasure mirror could only capture their after image.
In the end his eyes focused on a human-shaped image.
“…This, Heaven and Earth Variant!”
Hanfang clenched his fists and stood up. Shi Ruolan who was practicing fists was shcoked.
Hanfang’s face turned red and white. He was shocked but also worried.
“These six flying ants come from the same source, they should be its descendant! Is Junior Brother Zong really the one to cause our Common People Path to rise up again? Heaven and Earth Variant, born from the vengeful energy of earth. If our Common People Path had such a Natural Variant in the past, how would Senior Uncle Xi Zi die…”
