Chapter 204: Four Great Divine Beasts – Suzaku
Nan Qiao commanded the Spirit Wind Bird to fan the wind to block the Spirit Ants' advance, while the Spirit Shadow Fox stole through them to disrupt the ant colony's formation.
However, the enemy's numbers were too large, and even the Spirit Wind Bird and Spirit Shadow Fox could not repel them.
Nan Qiao didn't want to waste time, so he raised his hand and threw a fireball.
As soon as the spirit ants touched the fire, a sea of fire instantly broke out. In the ashes, Nan Qiao patted his clothes and turned to look into the depths of the ruins.
After repelling the spirit ants, Nan Qiao and the guardian beast continued forward along the winding passage.
The runes on the wall flickered, as if guiding them.
Finally, after walking for half an hour, Nan Qiao found a spiritual source bead emitting brilliant light in the core secret room of the ruins.
This spiritual source bead contains extremely pure and powerful spiritual power. It is a rare treasure for improving spiritual power cultivation and can emit spiritual energy continuously.
It is a treasure that is even rarer than spirit stones.
Now I don’t have to worry about spiritual energy when I go back to practice! Nan Qiao happily threw the spiritual source bead into the space jade pendant.
In addition, there is an ancient animal bone in the secret room, on which is engraved the long-lost ancient secret of animal taming.
Nan Qiao took a quick look and found that this ancient secret was not just about taming beasts, it was a master-servant contract!
Only powerful and intelligent spirit beasts can enter into a master-servant contract.
So, are there any spiritual beasts in this world that are more intelligent than the Soul-Devouring Beast and the Spirit Bird?
Nan Qiao is increasingly looking forward to what spiritual beast her guardian beast will lead her to find.
Because they were following their guardian beasts, the people of the Stone Tribe took ten days to return to the tribe.
Nan Qiao and his tribesmen happily returned to the Stone Tribe to report the good news. The fruitful harvest of this Hundred Tribes Conference made the entire tribe immersed in joy.
Chief Agula generously took out a lot of food, and a grand bonfire party began.
The flames burned brightly, lighting up the night sky.
The tribesmen danced happily around the fire. Nan Qiao was also infected by the warm atmosphere and danced the ancient and mysterious dance with the tribesmen.
Her posture was light and her steps were agile. She blended in with everyone's laughter and enjoyed this happy time.
When the first ray of sunshine shines on the tribe, a new day begins.
After being out for so long, Nan Qiao wanted to check on the progress of the salt mine by the creek, so he got up early and went there.
As soon as she reached the stream, she keenly noticed movement in the grass. It turned out that the guardian beast was hiding in the grass.
Nan Qiao smiled slightly and summoned the spirit bird from the space.
The spirit bird chirped happily, flapped its wings and flew high, landing lightly on the head of the guardian beast, and playfully combing its fur with its claws.
The guardian beast looked at Nan Qiao again, its eyes full of deep meaning, then turned and walked forward, motioning her to follow.
Nan Qiao knew that it was going to take her to find the spirit beast again. She was full of anticipation and followed closely.
After walking for almost half a day, in the depths of a mysterious misty forest, a spirit beast emitting a faint blue light appeared before their eyes.
Nan Qiao recognized it. The Classic of Mountains and Seas recorded that the cunning beast had a body like a dog, but had horns of an ox, and had a gorgeous nine-tail trailing behind it. Its hair was as soft as brocade, and the tip of each hair sparkled with star-like light.
When the cunning beast moves, the space around it seems to be distorted. It can spit out spiritual mist from its mouth. This spiritual mist can not only conceal its body, but also has the power to confuse the mind, making people or beasts fall into an illusory dream.
The moment Nan Qiao saw the cunning beast, excitement flashed in her eyes. Could it be that the guardian beast was going to take her to collect all the spiritual beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Nan Qiao couldn't wait to use the taming method.
However, the cunning beast just took a quick glance and remained unmoved. Its innate pride and spirituality made it immune to ordinary taming methods.
Nan Qiao was not discouraged. She remembered the master-servant contract she found in the ruins.
So, Nan Qiao concentrated his energy, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. An ancient and mysterious power of contract slowly enveloped the cunning beast.
The cunning beast felt the powerful force of the contract and Nan Qiao's firm determination, and a trace of struggle flashed in its eyes, but it was eventually tamed by the power of the contract and turned into Nan Qiao's spirit beast.
Nan Qiao was filled with joy and gently stroked the cunning beast's forehead. The cunning beast also rubbed her palm affectionately, as if recognizing its new owner.
In the following month, the guardian beast took Nan Qiao on an expedition, and they encountered legendary creatures such as Bifang, Danghu, Zhuyan, and Dijiang one after another.
Although they all possess unique abilities, their martial arts and spiritual powers are obviously inferior to those described in myths and legends.
Nan Qiao thought to himself that perhaps the spiritual power in this world was not as abundant as that in the divine realm, which restricted their cultivation. Therefore, they could not be called divine beasts, but should be called spirit beasts.
Just when Nan Qiao thought that these were rare and wonderful existences in this world, the guardian beast led her to a hot place one day.
As the light suddenly appeared before his eyes, a Vermilion Bird appeared.
Its feathers are like burning flames, so red that they are dazzling and shocking. Each feather seems to be condensed from the pure essence of fire, trembling slightly in the wind like a dancing flame.
Its tail feathers are long and gorgeous, dragging behind it like a flowing river of fire.
The Suzaku's eyes were like the depths of a fiery abyss, imbued with endless fiery heat and agility, as if they could penetrate the mysteries of the world. Its sharp beak and claws gleamed with a metallic sheen, as if they could tear through space with ease.
When Nan Qiao saw the Vermilion Bird, she was shocked. This was one of the four sacred beasts of the Flower Country!
She will bring it back to the modern era even if it costs her life!
Nan Qiao put it down and was about to sign a master-servant contract with it.
She took a deep breath, concentrated all her spirit and spiritual power, quickly changed seals with her hands, and recited the ancient and mysterious contract spell.
As the spell was chanted, golden talismans appeared in the air and slowly floated towards Suzaku.
However, Suzaku suddenly flapped its wings, and flames surged around its body, instantly dispelling the talisman.
It spoke in human language, its voice full of arrogance and disdain: "You, a tiny person, dare to dare to sign a contract with me? It's simply wishful thinking!"
"If you don't think about it, how do you know if it will work?"
Nan Qiao was not discouraged at all. She knew how powerful and unruly Zhuque was. Since it didn't want to surrender, she would beat it until it surrendered!
Mobilizing the spiritual power in his body, Nan Qiao rushed towards Zhuque like lightning.
The Vermilion Bird let out a long cry and a huge column of fire spewed out of its mouth. Nan Qiao quickly dodged to the side and at the same time gathered spiritual power in his hand, turning it into a whip of light and lashing it towards the Vermilion Bird.
Zhuque dodged nimbly in the air, and its claws were like hooks, grabbing towards Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao cast a defensive shield and engaged in a fierce close combat with Zhuque.
After several rounds, the two sides were tied. Nan Qiao seized the opportunity and used a powerful sealing technique. A huge spiritual seal fell from the sky and enveloped Suzaku. Suzaku struggled hard inside the seal.
The flames continued to attack the seal.
Nan Qiao increased his spiritual power output to stabilize the seal, and at the same time tried to conclude the contract again.
Suzaku felt the pressure of the power of the contract, but still resisted stubbornly.
