Part 2: The Dust of History Chapter 379 Jet Gourd
…
Tianpeng's nest is actually not very big.
When they grow up, Tianpeng often builds a habitat for themselves in the clouds.
That place is often called "Thunder Cloud Palace".
Rumor has it that Lao Tianpeng has such a Thunder Cloud Palace deep in Lei Ze.
And the nest located on the ground of Lei Ze.
In fact, it is just a transitional place for the hatching and growth of young Tianpeng.
So after Roger killed several brothers and sisters.
Relying on the fact that I still have plenty of physical strength.
I immediately toured the entire nest.
The overall structure of this place is not much different from a dragon's lair.
Unfortunately, the wealth is far less than that in the dragon's lair.
The advantage is that the overall environment is much cleaner.
And in this process.
Roger passed through a relatively narrow tunnel.
He heard the sound of an underground river flowing beneath the tunnel.
Just as shown on the hidden map he obtained.
There is a large space hidden underneath.
This should be the most secret place in the entire Tianpeng Nest.
Roger noticed.
There is a secret door hidden in the corner of the tunnel.
Only those with Tianpeng bloodline can see that secret door.
It was obviously left by old Tianpeng to his descendants.
But Roger has no plans to enter the hidden map yet.
Based on the background story of Taoyuan Mountain and the vague memories in Tianpeng's bloodline.
Roger deduced that this hidden map might be related to "the inner elixir of the evil demon Hu Li".
Although I don’t know what “Inner Alchemy” is.
But it always gives people a feeling of being ambiguous and powerful.
Roger is very self-aware.
In Mistra.
He is already invincible.
But in this great secret realm.
As a newly born Tianpeng.
Some people can kill themselves.
He must handle every dangerous item with care!
Especially the things related to the big boss in the background story!
This thing can't run away anyway.
Wait until he grows up.
Naturally there is a chance to find out.
As for growing up...
Roger is very confident in himself.
No one knows how to develop better than him!
…
Compared to "Hidden Map/Underground River".
The clue of the golden carp was what Roger was more concerned about.
However, the specific content of this clue is somewhat mysterious.
Just one sentence.
…
"Clue: Carp are always in the lake"
…
In the lake?
Roger's first reaction was Tianhu.
But then he began to doubt whether it was really that simple.
After all, he had been to Tianhu Lake.
At least there is nothing fishy in Yuehu Lake.
As for Rihu Lake.
It is said that there are several powerful water monsters lurking there.
Different from other forces.
Tianhu has an extraordinary status.
The internal structure is also more complex.
Although Fu Shui Jiao is the overlord of Tianhu Lake.
But there are several other monsters that can compete with it.
And in the memory of childhood Tianpeng.
Ever since the war with the demons.
Tianhu rarely participates in the internal affairs of Taoyuan Mountain.
Because they are always busy fighting among themselves.
In a place where civil wars frequently break out.
Can golden carp really hide?
Roger was skeptical.
…
You know.
The intelligence of many spirits is top-notch even among humans.
They are also full of desire for the golden carp, which is the secret key to Taoyuan Mountain.
although.
The Great Secret Realm itself is just a derivative "game".
However, the NPCs who could be "possessed" at any time are unaware of this.
After the news about the golden carp came out.
They will also join in the fight for the secret key.
Roger even doubted it.
If there really is an 'NPC' character who becomes the owner of the golden carp.
The other party will have the opportunity to become a creature of a higher dimension.
…
all in all.
This clue seems simple and straightforward.
There is probably another mystery behind this.
Apart from increasing the probability of Roger's secondary account choosing Fu Shui Jiao, it does not provide any substantial help.
…
"The water monsters in Tianhu Lake are busy fighting among themselves..."
"The flower fairies in the valley are all shutting themselves up."
"The Four Elephants Temple and Huanbi Mountain are focused on dealing with the Mantis."
"The once powerful Mountain Fox Clan completely disappeared from the history of Taoyuan Mountain after a great demon king like Hu Li appeared..."
"And Lei Ze is weak..."
“No wonder that Taoyuan Mountain is now dominated by the “Changle Village”!”
Quickly go over in your mind the situation you are about to face.
Roger then made up his mind.
After touring the Tianpeng Nest as quickly as possible.
Roger came to the terrace in the vestibule.
Then it let out a short and shrill cry!
…
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck beside him.
Roger was unmoved.
Tianpeng is not afraid of thunder.
This is true even for juvenile forms.
Crash!
The weather in Lei Ze changes suddenly.
The heavy rain fell like ink.
moment.
Roger's wings and feathers were soaked.
But he still didn't leave.
He stood proudly on the platform.
From time to time, he would let out childish but majestic shouts!
…
"Hint: You are trying to call upon your former followers..."
…
"Unfortunately, it has been some time since the last Tianpeng died, and the situation in Lei Ze has changed rapidly. Most of the followers chose to turn a blind eye to your call, except for the 'Ge Shi' clan..."
…
Silently browsing the information on the data bar.
Under the platform.
Gradually, a group of monsters similar to wild boar men emerged.
They have human-like bodies.
But there are fangs and a pig snout on its head.
There is also a lot of soft bristles hanging on the back.
Tianpeng's memory told him.
This kind of monster is called "Ge Shi".
When you encounter danger.
The manes on their backs will instantly stand up.
Become sharp and hard!
They will quickly curl up into a ball - like a hedgehog.
They used this to avoid enemy attacks.
Don't be fooled by their ferocious appearance.
This kind of monster is actually a vegetarian.
Their habits are somewhat similar to those of minotaurs.
…
Compared to other monsters.
The Geshi clan is also more loyal to their master.
At Roger's call.
A total of 29 Ge Shi completed the assembly in the rain.
They crawled at the foot of the cliff.
Perform etiquette reverently to the newly born Tianpeng Overlord.
Regarding their attitude.
Roger was still very satisfied.
only.
The strength of these Geshi is very weak.
Most of them are between 3 and 4 membranes.
The most powerful Ge Shi is no more than himself when he was just born.
Only a mere 1 evil force!
With this level of power.
It is difficult to rule Lei Ze.
But this is not what Roger needs right now.
He just needs some hands to keep things going.
…
"The people in Changle Village and Huanbi Mountain should have heard my call and will be here soon."
"These Ge stones can just help me support the place."
"Otherwise, won't the newborn cubs be bullied?"
Thinking so.
Roger was just about to order these Geshi to gather into a more powerful support.
But at this moment.
He suddenly noticed.
Four young and strong Ge Shi men came up from the nearby mountain path carrying loads.
In front of them.
He is an elderly elder named Geshi.
He had a cane in his hand.
The steps are fairly steady.
Just looked a little nervous.
Roger turned his head away indifferently.
Looking at these unusual kudzu stones.
…
Elder Ge Shi saw this scene.
He stopped in a hurry.
He lowered his head and said loudly:
"Respected Overlord Lei Ze, we have presented tribute according to old custom..."
It's time.
Roger just noticed.
There was a wonderful fragrance coming from the loads carried by Ge Shi.
Coo coo coo!
Just at this moment, he felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach.
The eggshell fragments of the young rocs are not enough to meet his food needs at this stage.
And out of human nature.
Roger also couldn't do anything like eating the corpses of his brothers and sisters.
…
"Put down the tribute and go down."
Youpeng said majestically.
Elder Ge Shi managed to bow and then turned to leave.
The rest of the Ge Shi ran down the mountain path as if they had been pardoned.
Roger flapped his wings.
Pounced over.
His intuition told him.
The Geshi clan had no intention or motive to frame him.
So he stuck his little head into the burden.
Then he started eating without saying anything else!
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have taken 'Kuzashi Berries'*30"
…
"You took 'Kuzashi's meat jerky'*1"
…
"You took 'Astragalus'*10"
…
"Your satiety has been greatly improved! (89%)"
…
…
Not long.
All the contents of the burdens were swept away!
The faint fragrance of grass and trees lingers around the young roc's beak.
The Ge Shis under the platform lowered their heads and dared not say much.
Roger patted his belly in satisfaction.
Although they don't look that good.
But he did remember the contribution of the Geshi clan in feeding him!
…
“It would be nice if there were more.”
Roger thought so.
He took the initiative to speak:
“You did a great job.”
"We will pay tribute tomorrow as well."
"Double the number!"
Who knows what will happen once these words come out.
The Geshis knelt down in panic.
Elder Ge Shi gritted his teeth and said bitterly:
"Reporting to the master."
"This is the only remaining food reserve of the Geshi clan..."
"The situation in Lei Ze is different from before. Many forces are oppressing us, and our people are starving every day..."
"Almost all the fruit-producing areas have been taken up, and our own gardens have been destroyed..."
Hearing this.
Roger sighed inwardly.
He knew it wasn't that simple.
The days of lying in the nest every day and having someone bring you food are obviously a dream.
So he raised his head:
“Who is it!”
"Dare to offend the majesty of Lord Lei Ze?"
Elder Ge Shi nodded in agreement.
He lowered his head and said nothing.
Roger intentionally created the character of young Tianpeng as a volatile cub who is not afraid of tigers.
So he roared with all his might:
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"I am angry!"
Boom!
Accompanied by the cub's roar.
Several more bolts of lightning struck down.
One of the lightning bolts struck Youpeng.
At that time.
A surge of energy flowed through his body.
That feeling.
It's hard to describe.
It's like getting an electric shock...
etc.
This is like an electric shock!
Confused.
Roger cast his eyes towards the data column.
…
"Hint: You absorbed the essence of Lei Ze while you were at a high satiety level, and your strength has been improved!"
…
"Your satiety has decreased (63%)"
…
"Your realm has been elevated to Sha (2)!"
…
"You have acquired a new expertise: Soul Mastery"
…
"Soul-stealing Technique: Open your mouth, stir up a violent gust of wind, and swallow the souls of enemies wherever the wind blows."
…
「Consumption: 10% of satiety」
…
"Limit: 3 times per day"
…
"no……"
"Is Tianpeng the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"
"Is it necessary to consume satiety to activate a special skill at random?"
Roger was delighted at first.
Then he smiled bitterly in his heart.
His stomach began to feel hungry again!
If it's outside.
He certainly wouldn't treat himself badly.
But this is in a great secret realm.
You have to rely on yourself for everything!
but.
Youpeng's experience also gave Roger a general idea of the appetite of the soon-to-be-born "Yufeng".
Compared with Yufeng.
It is said that Youpeng did not eat much.
This shows.
How much money does it take to raise a jade phoenix!
…
But anyway.
This hearty meal and the lightning strike brought Roger to a higher level.
And all this happened right under the eyes of Ge Shi and others.
They seemed to respect Youpeng even more.
Elder Ge Shi found an opportunity.
He stammered:
"Almost all the monsters are bullying us!"
"The most hateful thing is the demonic shadow from the depths of Lei Ze..."
"I can sense that an evil force is gathering there."
"They destroyed our mountain garden and tried to challenge your majesty!"
Roger listened carefully.
Not long.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have obtained the side quest 'The Troubles of Elder Ge Shi'"
…
"The troubles of Elder Geshi: Geshi's mountain garden was destroyed by an unknown evil. As the overlord of Lei Ze, you should find out the real culprit behind the scenes and give them justice."
…
"Reward: Loyalty of the Kuzushi clan/Tribute from the mountain garden/Magic weapon of Kuzushi"
…
"magic weapon?"
See here.
Roger's eyes lit up.
Although he didn't have much expectations for the monster race whose strongest member only had 1 evil power.
But what if their ancestors were wealthy?
Besides.
He has long been interested in the magic weapon system.
However, before he advanced to the Qi Refiner, he had no chance to touch upon content related to magic weapons.
And Quinan and Mixing.
There are also very few traces of magic weapons.
Roger actually always wanted to know.
What are the similarities and differences between that thing and ordinary props?
…
Therefore, under the tears of Elder Ge Shi's sobbing.
Young Peng flapped his wings impatiently:
"I see!"
"I'll catch those sneaky guys!"
"But you have to help me do something first!"
"Go and help me invite those guys who are lingering around Lei Ze in. I have something to say to them!"
Got Roger's promise.
The Geshi clan is very capable in doing things.
Several young Ge Shi went to the edge of Lei Ze to deliver the message.
The remaining kudzu stones are placed on both sides of the platform.
Everyone holds their heads high and their backs straight.
At least on the surface it still looks very imposing.
Not long.
The two groups of people, led by Ge Shi and others, came to the platform.
…
The first group consisted of three people.
They all wore large khaki leather armor.
His expression is serious and upright.
despite this.
Because she has a naturally cute face.
These monsters give people a naive feeling.
However.
If you look down along that silly face.
You will be horrified to realize that hidden under the leather armor are a bunch of intimidating muscles!
Their appearance is very similar to the "Panda People" in Roger's impression.
It’s just that the muscle lines are exaggerated countless times.
It would be more appropriate to describe it as 'devil muscle pandaman' !
To be honest.
This image somewhat subverts Roger's worldview.
But after looking at it a few more times.
On the contrary, he found this tough and macho version of the Panda Man more pleasing to the eye!
Between thoughts.
The second group of people were also brought in.
…
"Hint: You encountered 'Huanbishan Garrison Scouts'*3 (Iron-eating Beast Clan)"
…
"Hint: You encountered 5 people from Changle Village"
…
Compared to the three people from Huanbishan who are upright in demeanor.
It was obvious at first glance that the five monsters in Changle Village were not good people.
Especially the white toad that led the group.
He looked shifty all the way.
It makes people want to fight.
If Roger hadn't been afraid of the strength of the other three evil spirits.
I'm afraid he has already started.
…
"Master, the guests have arrived."
On the mountain path next to the platform.
Elder Ge Shi cleared his throat.
Youpeng nodded.
His eyes swept across the eight outsiders like lightning.
"What are you doing in Lei Ze?"
Youpeng made an impatient sound.
Hearing this.
One of the iron-eating beasts immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying:
"Huanbishan Legion, according to the agreement between Sixiang Temple and Lei Ze, we are here to get enough black jade bamboo..."
Roger nodded and said:
"How much?"
The iron-eating beast said straightforwardly:
“At least 200 copies!”
"good!"
"You guys should leave Lei Ze for now. After seven days, I will send someone to let you come and get the black jade bamboo."
Roger agreed readily.
The covenant regarding Mo Yuzhu is something engraved in the blood of the Tianpeng clan.
No matter what, Huanbishan is fighting for Taoyuanshan.
in this regard.
He won't hold back.
The big man hesitated for a moment.
Finally he nodded and stepped back.
…
"What about you?"
Youpeng's majestic gaze was fixed on the five wanderers from Changle Village.
The five are the white toad, the green centipede, the red ring snake, the blue crucian carp and Wong Tai Sin.
In Youpeng’s memory.
These five people were known as the 'Five Immortals of Changle'.
But it doesn’t have a very good reputation in Changle Village.
Although they were not directly involved in the tragic attack on Lao Tianpeng.
But the motives for appearing here may not be pure.
That's why he deliberately arranged for two groups of people to come in together.
Although the iron-eating beasts no longer care about the affairs of Taoyuan Mountain.
But in front of the people around Bishan.
These people probably won't be able to deal with Roger openly.
As long as he can get through this hurdle.
Becoming the overlord of Lei Ze should be just around the corner!
…
"We are here on behalf of Changle Village to present a gift to the new Lei Ze Overlord in order to resolve some past misunderstandings..."
The white toad said with a smile.
"Leave the gift behind."
"You can go now!"
Roger said coldly.
White Toad's face immediately fell:
"Boy, you are a little..."
"You dare to challenge Overlord Lei Ze here?"
Roger immediately showed an expression of rage.
The wet feathers all over his body exploded.
Boom!
For a while.
A strong wind blew up.
Lightning and thunder!
All the Geshi also roared in unison!
They seem to be full of hostility towards the "Five Immortals of Changle"!
Perhaps he didn't expect that this newly born Tianpeng would be so strong.
Perhaps it was because Roger's ferocious appearance on the cliff looked so much like his "mother" whom he had never met.
Perhaps they were startled by the sudden change in climate in Lei Ze.
Those five people were actually scared by Roger!
They hurriedly dropped the 'gift'.
Hastily escaped from Tianpeng's nest!
See this scene.
Huan Bishan and the other two did not show any signs of fear.
They saluted Roger in a dignified manner.
Then he also withdrew from Lei Ze.
…
"call……"
On the platform.
Watched the two groups of outsiders leave Lei Ze.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't done such a thing as bluffing for a long time.
But fortunately, my business skills have not been lost.
In this way.
The mission of "sending away outsiders"...
"Um?"
"The mission hasn't been completed yet?"
Roger's heart sank.
That moment.
His vision was suddenly stretched to an extremely distant place.
It seems like I have a perspective overlooking Lei Ze!
…
"Hint: You have been given an opportunity to use a high-dimensional perspective."
…
Duration: 60 seconds
…
"You discovered the 'Five Immortals of Changle' (Leize/Shiraishan Ruins)"
…
"You discovered the 'Ring Bishan Garrison'*3 (Leize Edge)"
…
"This big white toad really has bad intentions!"
Roger stared coldly at the "Ruins of Egret Mountain" not far from the Tianpeng's nest.
Next second.
He didn't hesitate.
He activated "Feature: Force of the Wind" at the ruins from a distance!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A howling gale swept out from the Sky Eagle's nest.
In the blink of an eye, they reached Bailu Mountain!
The Five Immortals of Changle, who thought they were hiding well, were instantly swept away by the strong wind.
Crash!
The house they were living in was blown away.
I could hear the roar of the young roc:
"roll!"
Boom!
It happened at this time.
Thunder exploded one after another around them.
This time.
The five monsters were really scared.
They fled out of Lei Ze in a panic amidst the strong wind.
…
"Hint: You have completed Task 2 (Send away the outsiders)"
…
"You have obtained the true Tianpeng inheritance!"
…
"Tianpeng inheritance: You have obtained the spirit cultivation method (Wind and Thunder Order)"
…
Close your eyes.
The image of a young eagle flapping its wings and flying in the bitter wind and rain appeared before Roger's eyes.
Azure blue lightning struck young Peng's wings.
The latter was beaten dizzy for a while.
But it can be done very quickly.
Her body began to undergo a drastic transformation!
Strong winds and thunder became her nourishment.
Under Roger's gaze.
That young Peng's body grew bigger and bigger...
Until his vision is completely filled!
…
"Hint: You have obtained the whisper of the previous generation of Tianpeng"
…
Next second.
A stern yet gentle voice sounded in Roger's ears.
Roger understood.
The owner of that voice should be my mother.
For their own offspring.
The previous generation of Lei Ze Overlord only left three words:
…
"Only by bravely facing the wind and thunder can you transform into a true Tianpeng!"
…
“Don’t touch it!”
…
"Be careful of the valley!"
…
The first sentence is obviously an interpretation of "Monster Cultivation Method: Wind and Thunder Order".
Roger, who had just been struck by lightning, instantly understood the true meaning.
The wind and thunder are the best training for Tianpeng.
And in the inheritance of the Wind and Thunder Order.
It also contains the laws of Lei Ze's abnormal climate.
Roger can use this to better train himself.
…
Second sentence.
Roger wasn't hard to figure out either.
This "it" most likely refers to the "Demon's Inner Pill".
No one knows what disease caused old Tianpeng to swallow the evil demon's inner elixir.
"The people from Changle Village might have attacked Lao Tianpeng just for that inner elixir..."
Roger pondered secretly.
There must be a secret in this.
No need for mother to remind me.
He won't take risks easily.
…
As for the third sentence.
The directionality is more obvious.
But hasn’t Yougu already become autistic?
Why did this force, which had kept a low profile for many years, receive extra attention from Lao Tianpeng?
In comparison.
She didn't even mention the people in Changle Village.
This surprised Roger.
But now is not the time to delve into this information.
Roger knew it.
At most, the power of his strong wind could scare away those malicious monsters in Changle Village.
After a long time.
They might then come to their senses and start looking for trouble of their own.
In the short term.
He could certainly rely on the iron-eating beasts to intimidate these outsiders.
But if you want to truly become the overlord of Lei Ze.
It is impossible to rely on external forces!
…
"I need to get bigger fast!"
The image of the Tianpeng that almost blocked out the sky and the sun just now appeared in front of Roger's eyes.
My heart couldn't help but feel hot.
While you are still full.
He flapped his wings violently.
The wind lifted him up with joy.
Youpeng's figure swayed left and right in the wind and rain for a while.
Not long.
He disappeared in the awed gazes of the Ge Shi people!
3 minutes later.
A touch of green, rarely seen in the Thunder Lake, appeared before Roger's eyes.
He dived down quickly.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the Black Jade Bamboo Forest!"
…
"You have entered the Black Jade Bamboo Forest (West)"
…
"You discovered a monster: a deformed stick insect."
…
"Hint: You killed 1 'Deformed Stick Insect'"
…
"Mark of Sin: The number of your compound eyes has been slightly increased."
…
"I have detected that you do not have compound eyes. Do you want to form compound eyes on your own?"
…
Roger decisively chose to deny!
He has very good eyesight.
There is no need for such unnecessary things as compound eyes.
Next second.
He refreshed the sin mark.
He flew excitedly towards the stick insect next to him!
after all.
This was the first monster he encountered in Taoyuan Mountain.
"Don't let me down!"
Roger prayed silently in his heart!
Between breaths.
Another stick insect died suddenly.
on the data bar.
…
"Your incomplete metamorphosis growth rate has been slightly improved."
…
"I'm not a fucking insect!"
Roger was speechless!
Immediately following.
He walked around in the black jade bamboo forest.
What a pity.
Except for stick insects.
Roger didn't find any other monsters.
This made him somewhat bored.
"There doesn't seem to be much danger here."
"Let the Geshis get to work!"
Thinking so.
Roger was just about to leave the bamboo forest.
Who knew it would happen at this moment.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a nest emitting this dangerous aura!
Roger's heart moved.
Flying over with flapping wings.
…
"Hint: You found a 'stick insect monster' (evil spirit in the body/elite monster/2 evil power)"
…
"You found a 'suspicious nest'"
…
"You found the 'Magic Weapon: Jet Gourd' in the lair.
You realize that a stick insect has been guarding this nest, which is sealed by a strange barrier.
And want to obtain the magic weapon inside.
You must drive away or kill this insect monster, and then find a way to break the seal..."
…
"Jet Gourd: After tapping the gourd's bottom for three seconds, twist the gourd's mouth and a thick black smoke will be sprayed out, mixed with any number of flying knives..."
…
"What a sinister magic weapon!"
Roger immediately became interested.
2 evil spirits against 2 evil spirits.
I am Tianpeng.
There's no reason why you can't beat a stick insect, right?
Next second.
He pounced on him fiercely!
But suddenly.
Everything around him turned into slow motion in Roger's eyes!
on the data bar.
…
"Great Secret Realm: Detected a battle of equal strength, entering combat mode!"
…
"Battle mode activated, calculating initiative..."
…
"The stick insect monster has gained a terrain advantage (suspicious nest)!"
…
"The young Skyroc has gained the first-attack advantage (the bonus from the spirit bloodline)!"
…
"The first round begins!"
…
"Please choose your attack method—
…
1. Normal attack
…
2. Raid
…
3. Wind, Thunder and Lightning
…
4. Others
…」
…
“What!?”
"The official battle in the Great Secret Realm actually uses a freaking turn-based system?"
Looking at the stick insect monster in a defensive posture.
Roger was a little confused!
…
