This is not the first time that Fenghuo has come to the world, but it has been a long time since the last time he came. That was when the late king Ouyang Xueye had just become the Lord of the Demon Realm. He was ordered to go to the human world to investigate several incidents where humans were attacked by monsters, but he almost got into a fight with a human demon slayer.
Unexpectedly, it would be hundreds of years before he returned to the human world again. He just heard from Ouyang Hongye that the human administrator of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient Mansion wanted to learn something about Nanzhe City and the Lord of Nanzhe City from him, and he was delighted. Go to.
He followed Xia Qiu to Ouyang's ancient house through the maze, and was invited to wait in the living room. While waiting for Dong Muya to come up from downstairs, he looked around the living room. There were several square-shaped things that he had never seen before. He guessed that they might be the electrical appliances that Ouyang Hongye and Wangyue had mentioned.
After a while, Dong Muya followed Xia Qiu in. This was her first meeting with Feng Huo. Finally, she was able to see the legendary big monster Leopard Demon Fenghuo, which made her nervous and excited, and she even became incoherent.
"Hello! I... I am Dong Muya, the manager of Ouyang Ancient House, oh, no, the manager of the underground database of Ouyang Ancient House."
She stretched out a hand to Fenghuo, and then looked at the demon king in front of her. Sure enough, as Ouyang Hongye had said to her, although Feng Huo was not tall, he had a strong build, his eyes were bright, and his blond hair with black spots was very conspicuous.
Feng Huo felt a little embarrassed and casually shook Dong Muya's extended hand and said, "You're welcome, just ask if you have any questions!"
Xia Qiu made a pot of mufu for the two of them, then handed them cups to fill, then sat quietly in a corner.
"Thanks, little girl!" Feng Huo smiled at her.
Dong Muya took a deep breath and started to get into the topic, and asked: "I came to you today to ask, in your opinion, is there anything related to tungsten metal in southern Zhejiang?"
"Tungsten?" Feng Huo didn't understand very well.
"Tungsten is a metal with an extremely high melting point, and the tungsten in the demon world may have a higher melting point than the human world." Dong Muya added.
"Let me think about it."
Feng Huo felt that the name of such a thing was right on his lips, but he couldn't remember it. Such a scene suddenly appeared in his mind. At that time, he was still young and came to Nanzhe for the first time with his adoptive father Shi Wangcheng. It was also at that time that he met Huo Huo, the lord of Nanzhe City who belonged to the same leopard demon clan as himself.
He still remembered riding a demon horse and following behind Lion King Cheng, passing through the avenue paved with bricks inlaid with gold thread patterns, and arriving in front of Nanzhe Palace. At that time, Huo Huan personally stood in front of the palace gate to greet them. Although it was spring, he was still wearing a thick animal skin robe. It was the first time that Feng Huo saw a man wearing so much jewelry. The huge blue diamond hanging on the pure gold necklace was said to be a rare treasure in the three realms. A colorful gemstone belt was vaguely exposed in the front robe. Any one of them should be priceless.
After Huo Huo and Lion King Cheng exchanged pleasantries for a while, he stretched out his strong and powerful hand to rub Feng Huo's head and asked: "Is that him, the young man who belongs to the same leopard demon royal family as me?"
Feng Huo was rubbed until it hurt, and he slapped her face a few times at the end. He remembered that when his hand passed across his face, something reflected a dazzling light in the sun, making him squint his eyes. .
"The Ring of Beiming!" Feng Huo blurted out.
That's right, it's the ring that Fire Mane always wears on his finger. The ring was made from the scales of a mythical beast called Pixiu that lived in the sea hundreds of thousands of years ago. Because the sea where the mythical beast once lived was called Beiming, the ring got its name. .
Pixiu once dominated the world. He only ate gold, silver and jewels, and could never get in or out. Legend has it that this ring made of the scales on its body also has the magic power to collect wealth. Whoever owns it can gain unlimited wealth. The fire hyena must have believed this, so he wore it on his hand day and night.
"Where is that ring?" Dong Muya asked.
"It should still be on the body of the Lord of Nanzhe City, unless it was taken by someone who entered the city later."
Feng Huo couldn't be more certain in his heart that Huo Huo valued something more important than his life. Even at the moment of his death, he would never hand him over to anyone else. There are very few people he has respected in his life. He respects Elder Cheng because of his majesty; he respects the late king Ouyang Xueye because of his generosity and kindness; and his respect for the fire mane may be purely due to his kindness. An overwhelming impression of courage. When he stood in his treasure house, he felt like he owned the whole world. How could he have thought that his whole world would eventually lead him to a path of no return? road.
The first target was thus locked on the Ring of Beiming, but regarding the Qi Lie Formation, it was still unknown how to convince the second elder, Lion King Cheng, and the princes to believe their views. Because the alchemy array diagram has no source, and its solution is all based on the words of a human child, Min Endong. Trying to explain the networks, hackers, and high-tech instruments of the human world to the old diehards in the royal city is equivalent to playing the piano against an ox.
While Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye were hesitant, Fenghuo took the initiative to come to Yuheng Hall. He never liked beating around the bush, and when he met the Lord of the Demon Realm, he simply bowed and began to express his thoughts.
"Although I, Feng Huo, am not very smart, I guess that it is not that simple for you to ask me to answer the questions about Nanzhe City and the Lord of Nanzhe City. The Lord of Nanzhe City has been dead for so long, and you don't seem to know how to do it. I believe that the Ring of Beiming really has some ability to make money. If you still trust me, just tell me directly so that I don’t have to second-guess and become restless and impetuous!”
"We previously intercepted a picture from Qingyun's lair in Chi Lai Mir in the Fire City. After analysis by the Ouyang Ancient Mansion database manager you just met, it was an alchemy array diagram called the Array of Strange Arrays. ." Ouyang Xiaoleng said.
He felt that instead of going into too much detail about the cause and effect of the matter, it would be better to give a brief explanation that was easy to understand. Ouyang Hongye agreed with him on this point.
"Wait a minute, the alchemy array diagram? Can it be used to refine gold? Is the fire hyena of Nanzhe City related to this diagram?" Feng Huo still couldn't understand what he heard.
"Exactly, but in addition to gold, it can also be refined into other things." Ouyang Hongye explained.
After hearing this, Feng Huo seemed to have an enlightened mind and asked: "Yes, yes, I once heard Huo Hye talk about it, and he can also conjure the kind of medicine that can lead to immortality, right?"
"Yes, just a very small array can produce these, but if the array is expanded, something more powerful may be produced!"
Ouyang Hongye's way of speaking was obviously more understandable to Feng Huo. Seeing him nodding repeatedly, he continued: "If you want to create something, you have to exchange it with equivalent matter. All matter cannot be obtained out of thin air. The same is true for this strange formation, which requires placing five kinds of substances in five places in the demon world in exchange."
"What exactly does Qingyun want to do?" Hearing what Ouyang Hongye said, Feng Huo was a little scared.
"We don't know much about this yet. We only know about the five cities needed for this array, and now we roughly know the conversion material left in one of the cities!" Ouyang Xiaoleng continued.
"Could it be..." Feng Huo also had feelings.
"Yes, one of the cities is Nanzhe, which is known as the Golden City, and the conversion material needed in that city is probably the Ring of Beiming worn by the city lord of Nanzhe during his lifetime."
After listening to Ouyang Xiaoleng's words, Feng Huo nodded blankly at first, and then began to shake his head desperately. If, as they said, Qingyun successfully activated that strange array, it would definitely bring huge disaster to the demon world.
Thinking this, he was so anxious that he volunteered and said: "No one is more familiar with Southern Zhejiang than me. I will lead a team of my men there. Even if Southern Zhejiang is turned upside down, we must turn it upside down." I’ll find the Ring of Beiming for you!”
"But Elder Cheng..." Ouyang Hongye hesitated.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll explain it to my adoptive father! Then I'll take my leave now, go back and tidy up, and set off immediately!"
Feng Huo nodded to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye respectively, then turned and left.
"It's really wind and fire, and he lives up to his name!" Ouyang Hongye looked at his back, shook his head and sighed.
After solving the first question, Dong Muya then began to study the elements of Mucheng Xizhen. Speaking of gloomy wood, people will think of coffins. Due to the special nature of the material in gloomy wood, it will not decay and deform even after thousands of years of baptism, so it is the best material for making coffins.
When mentioning coffins, one must think of tombs. Monsters are not like humans. Except for monsters with noble status, those with ordinary status will not be put into coffins and buried after death. In this way, the tombs that can appear in Xizhen must belong to status. A relatively prominent big monster.
Dong Muya opened the records about Xizhen and found out that it was difficult to investigate the prominent monsters living there, but it was easy to say. Because Mucheng has only had one city lord, Blue Snake Xizhen, since the city was founded, and this city lord has never liked foreign monsters staying in her city for too long. According to her regulations, three days is the limit, so the identity of the residents in the city Very simple and easier to investigate.
But it was also because of the mystery of the city lord Lan Snake Xizhen that there were very few records there. She rummaged through and found only strong evidence of the existence of one tomb, and the owner of this tomb was Lan Snake Xizhen. She had the same idea as many emperors in the world, which was to start preparing for her death while she was still alive. She built a huge tomb for herself under the wooden city palace, which was connected to the towering white oak tree in the center of the city before she turned into a demon.
This tomb is a small city, somewhat similar to a smaller version of Chilemir Underground City, but without the impetuousness and hustle and bustle there. There, everything is pure white, with white rock as the roof, white sand as the ground, white wood as the walls, pure white strange plants reaching the top of the cave, and the most peculiar thing is the milky white river flowing in the tomb. Xizhen's coffin was at the deepest place in the cave. Dong Muya guessed that it was because of snakes' habit of living in caves that she chose the underground tomb as her final sleeping place.
Assuming that this second element, the gloomy wood, really comes from the cemetery belonging to the blue snake Xizhen, then it proves that she is likely to have died soon. Such a beautiful and quiet monster, I don't know how long it took to cultivate to have a body like a dragon, but it can't escape the ending of death. What could be the reason
This is a difficult problem that Dong Muya cannot answer. Although she knows that the life of demons is much longer than that of humans, their death is sometimes more unpredictable than that of humans. They often pass away quietly after a long period of time. .
In the blink of an eye, she had a general direction of the materials belonging to the two cities used for the array. Just as she was wondering why there was no news from Min Endong, her phone suddenly rang.
There were only the words "forbidden number" on the phone screen. She picked up the phone in confusion and said "hello".
A young voice sounded: "How is the investigation on the two substances Jincheng and Mucheng going? I have detected the specific results of the other three substances and will send them to you by email now."
"Wait, are you an endong?" Dong Muya was curious that such a young child actually had a mobile phone, but then he thought about it, it was not surprising for a gifted child like him.
"The model of the mobile phone I use should be much higher than yours, and I have modified it myself. The operating system in the mobile phone has also been improved by me." Min Endong's voice on the other side sounded calm, but it was obviously like a child showing off.
Dong Muya couldn't help laughing for a while, and then said: "Okay, I already have a general direction for those two substances. The demon world has also sent people to the southern and southern parts of Jincheng to investigate. It is said that the city lord Huo Xiang loved to wear the North The Ring of Hades is made of a metal similar to tungsten."
"Where's Mucheng?"
"Blue Snake Xizhen's underground tomb is probably the place we are looking for!"
