The little cat shrank its neck, stuck out its tongue, and hid behind Shi Hao.
Seeing this, Shi Hao's face darkened, feeling somewhat ashamed.
My pet is such a troublemaker!
He pressed the fur ball down and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Xia Youyu, the Pavilion Master, and the others: "Sister Youyu, Senior Pavilion Master, and all the elders, I'll take my leave now! Until we meet again!"
After saying that, he didn't linger. He picked up the restless furball, glanced at Huo Ling'er who was also ready, and turned to leave.
"Sister Xia, take care!" Huo Ling'er waved to Xia Youyu and said goodbye.
Two girls with very different personalities seem to have developed a subtle affection for each other after spending time together.
"Take care!" Xia Youyu replied with a smile.
After bidding farewell to the people of Butian Pavilion, Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er walked side by side, preparing to leave this area.
"Hey, you rascal, how are we getting back? Are we going to ride your big bird again?" Huo Ling'er asked, as she had a deep impression of Shi Hao's magnificent Azure Sky Roc.
Just as Shi Hao was about to summon the Azure Roc, Huo Ling'er beat him to it, saying smugly, "You rascal, why don't you ride in my phoenix carriage instead!"
Shi Hao followed the gaze and saw a magnificent carriage made entirely of some kind of divine crimson jade, with countless flame runes engraved on its body, and even faint phoenix phantoms swirling around it!
Huo Ling'er said haughtily, "Come on up! This princess will give you a ride!"
The Phoenix Chariot is one of the exclusive vehicles of the Fire Kingdom's royal family. It is as fast as a streak of light, and its interior is spacious and comfortable, with extremely strong defensive capabilities!
Shi Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the incredibly flashy Phoenix car: "Wow? Your car is pretty good!"
Without hesitation, he was the first to jump up, followed by Maoqiu and Dashenshi, who explored the area with great curiosity.
Seeing this, Huo Ling'er snorted triumphantly and lightly leaped onto the Phoenix Chariot, activating her magic.
boom!
The flame runes around the Phoenix Chariot lit up instantly, and the two fiery birds let out a cry, pulling the chariot and transforming into a dazzling streak of fire, soaring into the sky and speeding towards the Great Wilderness!
Its speed was so fast that it was in no way slower than the Azure Sky Roc!
Qing Tianpeng: "..."
The interior of the carriage was spacious and furnished in an extremely luxurious and comfortable manner.
The room was covered with a soft animal skin carpet, furnished with exquisite jade tables and chairs, and even had a small ice chest containing various spiritual fruits and drinks.
Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er sat facing each other.
A lone man and a lone woman sharing a car created a somewhat... awkward atmosphere.
Huo Ling'er seemed to realize this as well, her pretty face flushed slightly, and her eyes darted away, not daring to meet Shi Hao's gaze.
She subconsciously straightened her skirt or picked up a spirit fruit and ate it in small bites, trying to hide her unease.
Looking at her slightly shy expression, Shi Hao found it quite amusing and couldn't resist teasing her again.
“Sister Ling’er,” he suddenly said.
"Huh? What...what are you doing?" Huo Ling'er was startled and looked up, meeting Shi Hao's smiling gaze.
"You tell me..." Shi Hao stroked his chin and asked mischievously, "Does what we're doing now count as... eloping?"
"Pfft—cough cough cough!" Huo Ling'er almost spat out the mouthful of spirit juice she had just taken a sip of!
She choked and coughed repeatedly, her pretty face instantly turning as red as a boiled crab!
"You... what nonsense are you talking about! Who... who eloped with you?! I... I was just giving you a ride home!" She was both ashamed and angry, and waved her small fists to hit Shi Hao.
Shi Hao laughed heartily and dodged away, and the carriage was immediately filled with playful laughter. The subtle, ambiguous atmosphere quietly warmed up as the two joked around.
……
The Phoenix Chariot was extremely fast, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.
Several days later, they had penetrated deep into the heart of the Great Wilderness.
On this day, as the phoenix chariot flew over a range of rolling mountains with eerily dark red peaks, Huo Ling'er suddenly pointed below and said, "Huh? This looks like... Fallen Phoenix Ridge?"
"Fallen Phoenix Ridge?" Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's heart stirred.
"Hmm." Huo Ling'er nodded, a hint of disgust on her face. "This is an important stronghold of the Rain Clan. It is said that they have hidden many treasures they have plundered. Moreover, the terrain here is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. They also keep some vicious rain snakes and poisonous insects inside. Ordinary people dare not approach it."
Rain tribe? Treasure land?
Upon hearing those two words, Shi Hao's eyes lit up instantly!
This is just like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy!
He was just looking for an opportunity to take revenge on the Rain Clan!
Who would have thought their hideout was right on their way home! And there were quite a few treasures inside?
What are you waiting for? !
"Junior Sister Ling'er, stop the car." A dangerous glint flashed in Shi Hao's eyes.
"Huh? Why did we stop?" Huo Ling'er asked, puzzled.
Shi Hao grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth: "Of course, we'll go down and collect some 'tolls'!"
"You...you wouldn't be thinking of..." Huo Ling'er looked at his "malicious" smile and instantly understood what was going on. She said nervously, "Hey! You rascal! Don't do anything reckless! This is an important stronghold of the Rain Clan! There must be experts guarding it! We should..."
"Don't worry," Shi Hao patted his chest confidently, "They're just a bunch of cowardly rats hiding in the shadows. Watch how I wipe out their lair!"
After saying that, without waiting for Huo Ling'er to persuade him again, he jumped off the phoenix carriage and rushed towards Luohuang Ridge below!
"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing this, Huo Ling'er could only helplessly follow.
Luohuang Ridge, true to its name, is a continuous range of mountains with jagged rocks. A faint miasma permeates the valleys, making it appear gloomy and eerie.
As soon as Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er landed, dozens of malicious gazes hidden in the shadows locked onto them!
call out!call out!call out!
With a whooshing sound, dozens of cultivators dressed in Rain Clan attire rushed out from all directions like ghosts, surrounding the two of them!
The leader was a sinister middle-aged man whose aura had reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Hmph! Where did this little brat come from! How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of my Rain Clan? You're courting death!" the sinister middle-aged man shouted, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
He clearly mistook Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er for easy prey who had stumbled into this place!
However, when Shi Hao looked at these Rain Clan members, a "bright" smile appeared on his face.
"Perfect timing! Saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one!"
The words had barely left his mouth when he moved!
Like a tiger descending the mountain! Like a dragon emerging from the sea!
The power of the Spirit Transformation Realm has been fully unleashed!
boom!
The power of the unique grotto-heaven empowers me!
Six Paths of Samsara Fist!
His small figure moved like a ghost, rushing directly into the Rain Clan!
boom! boom! boom!
Every punch landed squarely! Bones shattered!
Those Rain Clan cultivators who usually act arrogantly and think they're so great are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of Shi Hao!
They couldn't withstand the power of his punch at all!
Whether it's the Blood Transformation Realm, the Cave Heaven Realm, or even that leader in the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
Before Shi Hao's fist, which contained the true meaning of reincarnation and terrifying power, there was only one outcome—being smashed to pieces!
In just a moment!
The dozens of Rain Clan cultivators who had come to attack were slaughtered by Shi Hao alone, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!
Blood stained the rocks red! Severed limbs were scattered all over the ground!
The scene was bloody and brutal!
Huo Ling'er, standing to the side, watched this scene with a slightly pale face, but more than anything, she was shocked!
This little monster's strength... seems to have gotten stronger again?!
Shi Hao clapped his hands, as if he had only done a trivial matter. He then swept his divine sense across the Rain Clan stronghold and began to "scavenge" it.
It has to be said that the Rain Clan has been operating here for many years and has indeed amassed quite a few good things.
Various rare ores, ancient medicinal herbs, even a few high-grade treasures, and a large amount of refined jade...
Adhering to the principle that "a thief never leaves empty-handed," Shi Hao looted everything of value, filling his storage space to the brim!
Just as he was about to leave, a faint "clucking" sound suddenly came from deep within a cave protected by numerous restrictions.
"Hmm?" Shi Hao's heart stirred, and he forcefully broke through the restriction and went inside.
Inside the cave, there was a chick with brightly colored feathers, as gorgeous as brocade, and a few pearl-like feathers on its head!
The chick looked a little listless, but its bright black eyes were unusually lively. When it saw Shi Hao come in, it was not afraid at all, but instead tilted its head curiously to look at him.
"What kind of chicken is this?" Shi Hao asked curiously. He could sense that the chicken contained extremely pure life essence and strange energy fluctuations, making it no ordinary chicken!
"My God! This...this is...Eight Treasures Chicken?!"
Upon seeing the chick, Huo Ling'er, who had followed them in, immediately covered her mouth and let out an incredulous gasp!
"Eight Treasures Chicken?" Shi Hao looked at her.
"Yes! It's the Eight Treasures Chicken!" Huo Ling'er's pretty face flushed with excitement as she explained rapidly, "Legend has it that this is a unique species born alongside the gods in the ancient times! Its meat contains a rare and precious flavor; eating it can transform one's body and prolong life!"
"Most importantly, legend has it that this Eight Treasures Chicken... is an unparalleled delicacy reserved only for gods! Even in the ancient texts of my Fire Kingdom's royal family, there are only a few brief mentions of it! I never imagined... that it actually exists! And that these bastards from the Rain Clan would actually capture it!"
Chicken that only gods are qualified to eat?! 7
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes lit up instantly! His gaze towards the chick also became...fervent!
Seemingly sensing Shi Hao's "malicious" gaze, the Eight Treasures Chicken shrank its neck in fright and clucked twice, as if in protest.
"Hehehe..." Shi Hao rubbed his hands together, drool almost dripping from his mouth, "The chicken that the gods ate... that taste... tsk tsk..."
