“Aye, did you not invite that fellow from Stone Village?” asked Tu Wa Zi, suddenly recognizing the person in front of him.
“Stone Village?” The war goddess from Deer Academy was stunned for a moment and then nodded with a smile.
“If that lad isn’t going, it must mean something isn’t up to standard there, and
we won’t go either.”
Hearing this, Tu Wa Zi shook his head like a drum.
The female warrior of Deer Academy was dumbfounded, with her face turning pale and then red, feeling an abrupt urge to hit someone.
“These two rascals are truly an eye-opener, never heard anybody saying that
Deer Academy isn’t good.”
The onlookers could only offer bitter smiles.
How prestigious was Deer Academy, comparable with the formidable power of Heaven Mending Pavilion and Divine King Palace, famous for enlisting talents from this vast land? Its strength was so enormous that even the Great Clans did not dare to offend it. Yet these two kids were unimpressed. If the founding elder of Deer Academy heard this, he might come climbing out of his coffin in anger.
“Young man, do you know my beast’s species?” The war goddess took a deep breath, forcing a professional-looking smile.
“Um… nope.” After a long look at the creature, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen shook their heads.
The fact was, they only knew that beast meat was delicious and beast blood was tantalizing. As for the beast’s name, it wasn’t something they cared about. In the end, most of them were destined for their stomachs. So what was the point of learning so much about them? Just knowing they were non-toxic and edible
was enough.
“This is a Five-Colored Phoenix, rare offspring of ferocious birds, slightly inferior to its ancestors in terms of strength and rarity, yet still immeasurably valuable. If you join Deer Academy, I can help you each apply for a ferocious bird of the same level, what do you think?”
“Nah, we’re not interested.” Tu Wa Zi still refused. In his mind, only Liu Village was the most comfortable place, where they had lovely villagers and were regularly enlightened by Lord Willow God.
Moreover, regardless of how valuable the Five-Colored Phoenix was, could it compare to the Swallowing Sky Sparrow? In the end, didn’t that bird just end up in their stomachs?
“Alright, this is an invitation from Deer Academy. If you ever want to join in the future, I promise we’ll always welcome you!”
The war goddess pursed her lips in frustration, pulled out a beautifully crafted wooden card rimmed with gold, and handed one each to Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen. Then, she quickly departed atop the Five-Colored Phoenix.
To be honest, she feared that if she stayed longer, she’d be further demoralized. Even the Five-Colored Phoenix held no appeal for them. Just how rich were they to afford such indifference?!
“Squawk!”
The Five-Colored Phoenix flapped its massive wings and soared into the sky. But just before it disappeared, it spitefully rolled its eyes at Tu Wa Zi and Gu
Chen.
“De Quan, we need to find a chance to stew that stupid bird. Its temperament isn’t small!” Gu Chen lifted an eyebrow.
“indeed. We’ve eaten a lot of beast meat, and the meat of these birds of prey is
by far the tenderest and most delicious!”
Tu Wa Zi nodded seriously, completely agreeing.
On the bumpy ground, after tidying up the spoils from the recent battle, the two boys consulted each other and decided to leave this place.
They had spent significant time here, and their bodies were still in the real world. If they stuck around for too long, some irreversible harm might occur.
Moreover, they had turned the Land of Origin upside down and reaped a massive harvest. Staying longer would yield little. The only disappointment, was that the few treasures they encountered were merely illusions and didn t count as actual Souls of the Instrument.
However, just as they prepared to leave, Tu Wa Zi caught sight of some vaguely familiar faces out of the corner of his eye.
“Why do these blokes seem familiar? Seems like I’ve seen them somewhere before!”
Tu Wa Zi cast a glance and suddenly spotted several figures that looked incredibly familiar.
“How can they not be familiar? We are from the Four Great Clans. We just gave you ten jars of precious Species of the Ancient Times Beast Blood. And look at you it hasn’t been long since then and you laid your hands on us, even plundering our Cave Heaven Places clean. How do you expect us to live?” The few people swept over by Tu Wa Zi’s gaze couldn’t help but cover their faces and weep, looking like mistreated wives. Wailing non-stop, one would think they had suffered a great heartbreak if they didn’t know better.
“So it really was you, my apologies, I had forgotten about this!
Tu Wa Zi scratched his head, looking sheepish. He wasn’t lying. He really had forgotten about this, previously just thinking about turning a profit as fast as possible.
“By the way, you have some nerve. You hid so much Species of the Ancient Times Beast Blood and only gave us ten jars each. That’s not generous at all.
What we took was just interest.”
Tu Wa Zi suddenly remembered something. His demeanor shifted dramatically to being assertive. When he was plundering those Cave Heaven Places, he foun that some of them were stacked full of various precious Beast Bloods. The ones from the Species of the Ancient Times were not few, presumably owned by these Four Great Clans.
The people from the Four Great Clans were stunned into silence. They complained about the ten jars of Species of the Ancient Times Beast Blood being too few? That stuff is hard to come by even for a drop out there!!
However, despite thinking this, none of them dared to retort. Didn’t they see their super-strong warriors were beaten down by this pair of little devils, unable to get up? As for them, they’d better just lie low.
“Hum”
Just then.
A stone stele record came into view, violently shaking in front of the giant green stone.
The golden light circulated, displaying a few large characters: Worst of Troubles.
“Goodness, they’ve now obtained two titles in a row, unprecedented and unparalleled.” Someone exclaimed.
Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen were also quite pleased. This was recognition for them.
But the two of them were annoyed that this time the stele didn’t give Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen enough time to leave their marks. After flashing quickly, it disappeared on the spot, as if afraid that these two troublemakers would smash it like before.
“Boring, so boring!”
Tu Wa Zi lost interest. Was it so tense? He was not like that destructive fellow from Stone Village.
He and Gu Wa Zi were civilized people, preferring to convince by reason. They were not good at resorting to force.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll come back next time. It’s kind of hard to leave, though!”
The two of them rested by the green rock for a while, recovering to their peak condition before walking straight towards the Rune Passage exit.
In an instant, one scene of ruins after another appeared in front of them. Although there were broken walls, debris everywhere, they revealed a sense of ancient vicissitudes.
In the distance, there were numerous Ancient Demon Mountains towering, emitting terrifying auras that were shrouded in a grey mist, and couldn’t be seen through.
Then a Sky-reaching Willow Tree appeared before their eyes. Like a towering peak standing on the mountains, the willow branches hung down undisturbed in the wind. The large canopy covered the surroundings, with rolling colorful clouds, creating the impression of a green ocean.
“Willow God, we’re back!”
Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen called out gently, their faces flushed. The alternating changes between the real world and that mysterious realm excited them. They felt as if they were on cloud nine.
