Yan Mo sat on Jiu Feng's back playing handsome, and disappeared into the sky after receiving the admiring and longing eyes of nearly two thousand people.
But no one knew that Jiufeng landed not long after flying.
Yan Mo took out the wooden box from his pocket, climbed in, and waved to Jiufeng.
Jiufeng stretched his head to the side of the wooden box, and let out a strange "Jie Jie" smile.
Yan Mo, "You can catch me and fly, you can fly as fast as you want, but don't flip over, and don't fly too high, I will not be able to breathe, and it's too cold up there, I won't be able to stand it."
Jiu Feng laughed at his little two-legged monster as useless, Yan Mo let him laugh, this is a hurry, who can stand the strong wind and cold air in the sky? When the time comes, Jiufeng will fly like lightning, how will he breathe? What if you accidentally drop it
Yan Mo put the lid on the wooden box, and Jiufeng grabbed the handle on the wooden box and soared into the air again.
Yan Mo breathed out, the wooden box was covered with cushions, sitting in the wooden box was much more comfortable than sitting on Jiufeng's back, not only did he not have to worry about falling off, but he could also lie down and sleep.
As for Jiufeng, who was carrying the wooden box, he heard that he was going on a journey, so he flew much faster than when he came, but he always remembered that he didn't fly too high, and he only stopped to rest twice on the way, and flew back to the sky above Jiuyuan in one night.
Yan Mo did not return to the inner city of Jiuyuan, but let Jiufeng fly back to his lair on the southernmost cliff from the very beginning.
The rising sun gradually illuminated the whole city. By the moat outside Jiuyuan, Ye He sat cross-legged on a boulder and looked up at the sky.
A huge black shadow flashed across the sky.
Ye He felt that there seemed to be something hanging under the black shadow he saw, but the speed of the other party was too fast and he flew higher, so he was not sure.
"Water, is that the mountain god Jiufeng here?" Ye He asked in a low voice to a soldier beside him who was dressed in simple cloth, had a bone knife hanging from his belt, and had two scars on his face.
Walter was still watching from a distance, "It should be. Fili said that there are no huge birds nearby, and it flies to the south. Jiuyuan people said that the south is the residence of the mountain god, so it should be it."
"Its hunting range is very wide." Ye He heard that this mountain god also came back a few days ago, but flew away soon. Maybe the other party came back at night, and he didn't notice it.
"This only proves that it can fly very well." Walter looked arrogant, and he didn't take that human-faced bird to heart. Feili described it as terrible, but it was because Feili's ability was still too low. If he hadn't grown a pair of wings and had special abilities in archery, how could he be the leader of Tianzhu City with his warrior ability of level 5 or near level 6? The post of Commander of the Third Legion.
Not far away, another warrior dressed in commoner clothes and with a bone knife hanging from his waist came over, and the busy slaves nearby knelt down when they saw him.
"My lord." The soldier walked to Ye He and knelt down on one knee to salute, then stood up.
Ye He looked at the soldier and said calmly, "What does the mermaid say?"
The soldier replied respectfully: "They said they would spread the word, but they will not guarantee anything else."
Walter sneered, "It's fine if you didn't reveal your identity at the beginning, but now we have told the mermaid that you are the high priest of Tianzhu City Temple, how dare their patriarch and clan witch not come forward to greet them?"
Ye He remained silent, and he was also very unhappy. At first, he thought that it would be enough to reveal his identity as the envoy of the Three Cities, but it turned out that the barbarians here were as arrogant as Duo Fei said.
Ye He didn't pay attention to those uncivilized savages either, what he valued was the mermaid tribe.
But the attitude of the Mermaid Clan is not friendly, and even their patriarch and clan witch have not shown up until now.
"Pence, they didn't accept Yuanjing coins either?"
The soldier called Burns nodded, untied a leather bag from his waist, and handed it to Ye He with both hands, "Those mermaids have a hard time talking, saying that their patriarch didn't say anything, and they dare not accept any gifts, no matter if they are slaves or Yuanjing coins. It is useless for me to repeatedly explain that these Yuanjing coins are gifts for their patriarch."
Seeing Ye He put away the leather bag, Burns said again: "And those dwarves, they can use catapults and bows and arrows. Sir, there are mermaid warriors cruising in the river for defense, and the dwarves are threatening with catapults and bows and arrows on the other side of the river. We It is very difficult to pass them and enter Jiuyuan City."
Walter sneered again, "What's so difficult? If it wasn't for the adults not wanting to fight the mermaids, I would have taken this city long ago!"
Burns didn't speak, Ye He looked at the majestic and domineering Jiuyuan City opposite, "Water, don't underestimate them, the leader here won't be a fool to build such a city, besides, have you noticed this There are a lot of blood warriors in this city?"
"But the level is not high. Fili said that their leader is only at level four. Moreover, their ability to build this city has a lot to do with their leader's ability to control the soil. I heard that the mermaid and dwarves also helped a lot. .”
Ye He's opinion is similar to that of Walt, but he always has a strange feeling. He is very concerned about the number of blood warriors in this tribe. The most peculiar thing is that according to his observation, these blood warriors are all less than level five! Many people even awakened their divine blood ability at level one and level two.
Even if a race is particularly rich in divine blood, this tribe obviously has more than one race. Could it be that the leader of Jiuyuan specifically searched for a race with strong divine blood to join his tribe? Then how did he discover that the divine blood of these races is more concentrated
There is also the scale of this city. They not only have an inner city, but also an outer city. The territory occupied by this is about the same as the city of Ferro in the middle city he has been to.
Even Tianzhu City is just a castle, and there are not many people that can be accommodated inside. Most of the soldiers, slaves, and farmers live outside the city.
What does the Jiuyuan tribe mean by building such a big castle? How many people are they going to put in it? Or are they for merfolk and dwarves
Ye He naturally thought of the fruit of witch luck. Could it be the ability of the fruit of witch luck that made the people of this tribe awaken the divine blood? If so, it would explain the city's peculiarities, including why it was built so large.
In Ye He's mind, with the fruit of witch luck, it is not surprising that the leader of this tribe has great ambitions.
It's a pity that Duo Fei and Fei Li didn't have much information to tell him, so he couldn't be sure whether the fruit of witch luck was here, but their leader and priest still avoided showing up, which made him unable to judge.
He planned to wait a little longer and meet the patriarch of the mermaid clan first. Maybe this Jiuyuan tribe is affiliated with the mermaid tribe, so his attitude towards this city needs to be considered separately.
But no matter what, he is full of interest in this city and everything here. If possible, he very much hopes to accept this city as a subsidiary tribe of Tianzhu City, and then conquer the entire wild land.
As for Princess Dolphin's tribe...
A faint smile floated on Ye He's face, which was a bit like ridicule, and a bit like the helplessness of seeing a child playing.
Duo Fei thought she had subdued Fei Li, but in his view, Fei Li was just using Duo Fei, and Fei Li was the confidant of General Zhe Fei.
Duofei thought that she would be able to escape the fate of being a puppet if she didn't get married and stayed outside to establish a new power, and even hoped to become a queen in the future, but it would be great if things were really as simple as she thought.
Even if His Majesty Hal Northman has a son, the person who will inherit the position of city lord in the future may not necessarily be of Northman's blood. It's a pity that His Majesty Northman knows this, but his princess knows nothing about it.
Ye He was not optimistic about Duofei, which was why he didn't obviously support her.
Jiuyuan Inner City.
Dong Sheng, who was in charge of the interrogation, quickly ran down the city wall and into the southeast corner of the conference hall, where the military headquarters that Mo University called was located.
"My lord, Jiufeng lord is back!"
He was talking to Wu Chen, when he heard the words, he raised his head, his eyes were a little dark, this one hadn't slept well for many days, "Only Jiufeng?"
Hide asked this question because Master Jiufeng had already traveled back and forth to Jiuyuan several times. It often flew back and forth in the sky, and sometimes it would come down to play with the iron-backed dragon cubs. At first, the people of Jiuyuan were happy to see Jiufeng , thinking that the leader and priests had returned, but it turned out not to be.
It wasn't until I came back that I found out that Lord Jiufeng was escorting a group of slaves back, but they were impatient and flew slowly with the boat, so they flew back and forth between Dahe Basin and Jiuyuan for fun.
The boats moved slowly, and when they arrived suddenly, those boats had only traveled a quarter of the way.
And less than thirteen days had passed since he left suddenly and Jiufeng came back today. He didn't hold out any hope when he asked, because there was no news of the arrival of the slave ship from Dahekou, so Master Jiufeng would naturally not go back to Yuan Zhan and the others.
But how could he have thought that Uncle Jiufeng had been flying back and forth for many days, and when he saw that there was no danger, he became impatient and continued to guard the ships, so he simply flew back to Yan Mo's place.
Wu Chen also looked at Dong Sheng with hope in his eyes.
Dong Sheng quickly replied: "Uh, Lord Jiufeng flew too fast, it went to the south."
That Yuan Zhan and Mo Da should not have come back, otherwise Jiu Feng would enter the city first instead of flying back to the holy land in the south.
Wu Chen was immediately discouraged.
Hideous lips curled slightly, thinking, he is still a child after all,
Because there is a salt lake in the south, there is Lord Jiufeng's lair, and the leader and the priest are not willing to let people go to the south, now the Jiuyuan people automatically regard the southern area as a holy place.
It was the same excuse they used to refuse the Sancheng envoy to go there, saying that it was the holy land of Jiuyuan, and they could only go there with permission, otherwise they would be enemies of Jiuyuan.
"Is there any new news from Dahekou?"
"No." Dongsheng shook his head, "I didn't see them raising smoke."
Wolf smoke does not refer to the smoke from wolf dung, it’s just that Mo Da used to say so, and everyone followed suit, and wolves are also one of the enemies they focus on defending. When seeing wolves, everyone will light fireworks for warning , so they accepted the statement of Wolf Smoke very quickly.
"Continue to observe."
"yes!"
Before Dongsheng left, Hide also ordered him to invite several warrior leaders and hunters and trenches from the outer city.
Wu Chen drew a picture on the stone slab like an adult, and clicked, "Hideous, this is near the entrance of the west outer city we planned, and the group of slaves sent by the Duofei tribe must not be allowed to build houses here."
"I know. But the leader and the priest are not here. The two fighters next to the messenger in the three cities are very powerful. We may not be able to beat them all. It is not easy for mermaids to expel them at will. You say this kind of What are we going to do in that situation?"
Wu Chen pondered, he knew that while he was testing him, he was indeed asking for his opinion. Although he was young, as a disciple of the priest, he also had a place among the high-level, and others never underestimated him because of his young age. he.
"To be honest, I don't know what to do, but if my master is here, he will definitely not let the slaves sent by Duofei build houses for the envoys of the three cities."
"You mean you want to take those slaves in?"
Wu Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"But what if there are spies inside? What if Duofei or even soldiers from the Three Cities are among those people, and when they come in, they find that our leader and priest are not there, and want to take the opportunity to occupy our Jiuyuan City?"
"Then, shall we sell those slaves to the envoys of the Three Cities? Or charge them for borrowing slaves and land?"
Laughed ferociously, as expected of the disciples taught by their lord priests, "Wait for other people to come, and you tell them what you think."
Wu Chen seemed calm, but in fact he was a little bit shy, "Hide, you mean I can do it this way?"
"You can't fight, it's good to use this reason to delay time."
Wu Chen pursed his lower lips, and said boldly: "Hey, what do you think if we tell the mermaid and dwarves that as long as they show up together, no matter how much benefits we can get from the envoys of the three cities, we will share them equally with them? Will we go to negotiate with the envoys of the Three Cities together?"
He patted his head appreciatively, "Your idea is very good, but it can't be used yet. You forgot that Mo Da has always said that dwarves and mermaids are guests. He only admits that Qingyuan Lake is the territory of mermaids, while dwarves are completely Debt tenants, if we mention this to them now, what do you think they will think?"
Wu Chen said "ah" and blushed, "They will regard themselves as the master of Jiuyuan."
"Yes. So until the most desperate time, we must not easily divide our own interests to others, remember?"
"Yes!" Wu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, "Thank you, great."
When Jiuyuan's high-level officials gathered again to discuss how to deal with the envoys of the Three Cities, Yan Mo entered the inheritance place of the Bone Refining Clan and began to mess with the four bone birds.
He didn't waste the previous time in vain. Through studying and asking Zanbu for advice, he has almost understood how to activate and use the bone bird.
According to Zambu, each of these four bone birds has reached level nine. At their time, this kind of big bird was a huge bird second only to the human-faced Kunpeng family, but this group of giant birds has never Produce intelligent creatures, but their natural abilities are extremely powerful, and they almost automatically have the attack power of a ninth-level fighter when they reach adulthood.
They have a name called Giant Flamingo, which is characterized by a pair of large and small four skin bone wings and a huge abdomen, which can breathe flames from the mouth.
This kind of bird couldn't shrink its body when it was alive. When the bone refiners used their complete corpses to refine them, they added the function of reducing their size.
To fully restore the attack power of this giant firebird puppet, it would naturally require a level nine Yuanjing.
But Yan Mo was reluctant, so he decided to use the fifth-level Yuanjing. Zanbu said that the five-level Yuanjing can be activated, but all its abilities cannot be used.
And he doesn't need the giant fire bird puppet to exert all its strength for the time being, as long as it can pretend to be a person.
Yes, in the past, the bone refiners used the belly of the giant flamingo to load goods and people, and used the giant flamingo puppet as a transport plane.
The Giant Firebird was not as fast as Jiufeng, but it was still much faster than a ship going upstream, and as long as there was no attack from the sky, it was much safer than walking in the water.
The bone bird can't be brought out casually, Yan Mo came back this time just to challenge the fifth level test.
Because Zanbu told him that the reward for the fifth-level test is that he can choose any bone tool in the inheritance hall, and he can take it away as long as he can successfully engrave it spiritually.
Yan Mo stayed in the place of inheritance for five days. He passed the fifth-level inheritance test of the Bone Refining Clan. At the same time, because he wanted to spiritually imprint the bone bird, he broke through the fifth-level limit and rose to the sixth-level divine blood warrior.
It is not easy to spiritually engrave the ninth-level giant firebird puppet. The ninth-level bone-refining puppet requires a very high level of mental power. The spiritual power of the fifth-level and sixth-level is just enough. The most difficult thing is to remove it from the bone bird. residual spiritual power.
Yan Mo didn't let Wu Guo take action. First, he wanted to challenge himself. Second, since his mental power broke through to level five, he discovered that there is still a very powerful spiritual power in this inheritance land. Even Wu Guo He didn't dare to covet this kind of spiritual power, and he would be very obedient after entering the land of inheritance. Naturally, he didn't dare to cheat in front of this kind of power.
It took another two days to finally remove the remaining spiritual power of the bone bird, and at the same time engrave his own spiritual imprint, so that this giant fire bird puppet could be used by him.
Yan Mo took this bone bird out of the place of inheritance, and after going up, he used a fifth-level Yuanjing coin to activate it by the side of the salt lake.
Seeing him coming out of the ground, Jiufeng immediately flew over and circled him. He was especially interested in the bone bird and wanted to peck it, but Yan Mo quickly stopped him.
"Ancestor, you can't play with this one. I have to rely on it to bring back all your people."
"Jie! Bones can fly?" Jiu Feng was curious, and jumped up and down on the bone bird when he became smaller.
Yan Mo was also very surprised, Jiufeng was obviously very curious about the underground inheritance place, but he didn't follow him in when he went in.
"Did you know there is such a place under your nest?"
"Jie! I didn't know it before, but I know it now."
"Then aren't you curious? Don't you want to go down and play?"
Jiu Feng tilted his head, and doubts floated in the shrewd Danfeng eyes, "Jie Jie, I can't go, I want to go, but I can't. Momo, what's down there?"
Yan Mo thought that this might also have something to do with the inheritance of the human-faced Kunpeng clan. He probably explained the inheritance of the bone-refining clan, and he didn't want to hide Jiu Feng.
When Jiu Feng heard that the bottom was full of bones, he immediately lost interest, and urged him instead, "Didn't you say that this bone bird can fly? Let it fly, hurry up! I want to see how big it can become, whether it is as big as me or not." .”
Yan Mo laughed, Zanbu had already told him how many people could fit in the abdomen of an adult giant firebird puppet, but he still wanted to see how big this bone bird was.
Using the mental engraving, Yan Mo immediately issued an order to the bone bird: "Come on, make me the biggest!"
