"So?" Lin Shao's heart trembled a little.
"These mountains are all empty.
It can't be because of me, right? "
The West Queen Mother sighed.
"It's hard to say. I hope it's not.
If it weren't for Phoenix's previous actions,
Bai Ze and I wouldn't even have noticed.
However,
We couldn't tell.
It doesn't mean that the messy races in the middle realm couldn't tell.
I'm sorry, Lin Shao.
When I came to the middle realm,
I really didn't think of this.
I just thought that the new emissary's arrival was a necessary step.
I didn't expect so much to come out. "
Lin Shao reached out and pinched his eyebrows.
He went through all this information in his mind.
In fact, the core of all this was still the previous emissary.
Lin Shao didn't know what sins this emissary had committed, but he could guess that it had something to do with the chaos in the Mountain and Sea Realm. It wasn't unjust to be met with hostility. However, he was clearly not this person. It was just because they had some relationship, and it was a relationship from a long time ago.
It was a little too sad to have to return to the starting point in the middle realm.
"Let's see which one of them dares to bully others." Phoenix began to roll up his sleeves. "What does it have to do with burning people?
If you ask me, a big part of the reason was that they were trash! "
Phoenix was the kind of person who would help his relatives and not reason.
Now, no one stopped him.
The West Queen Mother glanced at him.
She said, "If you have time to talk about this,
Why don't you think about what to do now? "
Lin Shao thought for a moment.
He said, "Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look.
At least you're right about one thing. I will come to the middle realm sooner or later. "
The West Queen Mother looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Then come with me."
After Phoenix heard this, he naturally wanted to follow. Lin Shao couldn't stop him.
Lin Shao was led deeper into the Intermediate World. The deeper they went, the more strange things they saw.
Lin Shao watched as a whale-like creature slowly swam past him, blocking his line of sight. After the fish swam away, he saw a bird standing at the top of the mountain in the distance.
At first glance, it was hard to tell if it was a bird or a ball of fire. The West Queen Mother saw it too. She stopped in mid-air and grabbed Lin Shao.
"Who is that?" Lin Shao asked.
"Bi Fang." When Phoenix heard his question, she answered first. "This guy lives in the nearby Zhang 'e Mountain. It's shaped like a crane with only one leg. Its body has fiery red stripes and a white beak. This kind of bird is called Bi Fang.
When I first came here, I saw it nearby once. "
Bai Ze added, "Bi Fang's name comes from the crackling sound of wood burning. It has the sign of fire and feeds on fire. It was originally a ferocious beast. But legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan gathered the ghosts and gods on Mount Tai, Bi Fang helped him. Because of this, Bi Fang was recognized and recognized as the incarnation of the God of Fire.
This bird has a hot temper and is covered in flames. It's best to stay away from it. "
However, Bai Ze's words came too late. The Bi Fang bird standing at the top of the mountain had already seen them.
"Over there. Are you the new emissaries?"
It noticed Lin Shao at a glance. The next sentence was to greet Bai Ze and the others one by one. "Lord Phoenix, Lord West Queen Mother, Lord Baize, long time no see."
Lin Shao felt that its tone was not bad. Especially when it was talking to Bai Ze and the others, there was a hint of respect in its tone.
Just as he was slightly relieved, he heard Bi Fang chuckle and continued, "Although there are a few of you leading the way, it's commendable that you dare to come here, emissary."
Lin Shao did not know how to reply. He swallowed his saliva. However, Phoenix, who had a worse temper than him, frowned and said, "Why are you talking so mysteriously? What do you mean?"
Bi Fang smiled and said, "You don't have to be angry with me. It's just that if the emissary wants to go further in, I'm afraid there will be some trouble.
I have a good impression of humans, and I didn't have much interaction with the previous emissary. I can't empathize with many of their grievances. I just happened to meet them, so I'm here to give you a reminder. "
Phoenix looked at Bi Fang suspiciously and said, "Why didn't I know that Bi Fang was so kind?"
"I've always been like this. I'm kind and easy to talk to. I see that you haven't been to the Intermediate Realm for a long time. If there's a need, I'm willing to explain the situation here to the emissary in detail."
Bi Fang smiled and flapped its wings to get closer to Lin Shao. Then, it added, "As long as the emissary needs it."
Lin Shao naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. He frowned and replied, "Then what do you want?"
"Emissary, you're really smart. You understand immediately. I like it."
Bi Fang's smile became even more obvious. "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. The emissary will definitely be able to do it.
And regardless of whether the emissary agrees to help me in the end, as long as I know about the Intermediate Realm, I'm willing to explain to the emissary. "
Bi Fang wasn't saying this out of kindness. In fact, Lin Shao had the West Queen Mother and Bai Ze by his side. Even if Lin Shao wanted to go back on his word and burn the bridge after crossing the river, Bi Fang wouldn't be able to retaliate. Hence, he simply left the choice to Lin Shao. At least his attitude was impeccable. If Lin Shao could really do it, he naturally wouldn't fall out with him.
Besides, Bi Fang was right about one thing. Phoenix had just woken up, and the West Queen Mother and Bai Ze hadn't been to the Intermediate Realm for a long time. They really needed to know more about this place.
"That's enough." The West Queen Mother waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't dilly-dally. Let me ask you, why aren't there any mountain masters in the nearby mountains?
Where did they all go? "
Lin Shao also wanted to know this. He was also worried that his arrival had caused some abnormalities here.
However, Bi Fang's answer calmed Lin Shao down.
"Don't worry, they didn't gather to deal with the Emissary. In fact, the communication between the Intermediate Realm and the outside world is very little. They wouldn't have received the news that you're here so quickly. Maybe even if you're standing in front of them, they wouldn't even know who you are." Bi Fang seemed to have seen through Lin Shao's worries and explained, "They just agreed to gather here to discuss something."
Lin Shao was puzzled, "What are we discussing?"
"If we want to talk about this, I'll have to explain to the Emissary the internal division of the Intermediate Realm. Just like the outside world, the Intermediate Realm is divided into four realms. However, the difference is that we're not divided according to the directions of north, south, east, and west. Instead, we're distributed in a circular pattern. There are four concentric circles from the inside to the outside. The inner circle is the smallest, but the races that live there are not to be trifled with.
We're now in the outermost circle, which is the largest. Everyone lives very separately, so it's usually peaceful. "Bi Fang paused for a moment, then continued," Moreover, it just so happens that the people gathered here are all birds, so they've spontaneously formed a small community, with the Four-Eyed Bird as their leader.
This gathering is not because of the Emissary, but because of you. "
As Bi Fang spoke, he glanced at the Phoenix opposite him. His meaning was clear.
"Me?"
Even Lin Shao, who was standing at the side, reacted quickly.
The Phoenix was the king of birds. Its appearance was bound to cause a commotion among the birds.
"Sigh, why do you have to do this and make such a big fuss?" The Phoenix pursed its lips, "I don't have time to play with you. You can do whatever you want, but don't drag me along. I want to play with Ah Xiao."
Lin Shao, who was being dragged along by the Phoenix, pursed his lips. However, he thought about it carefully. The most direct reason for him to walk inside was because he was worried about the two mission targets. Therefore, he asked Bi Fang if he had seen the two Lovebirds.
"Two?" Bi Fang asked curiously, "Aren't the Lovebirds in pairs?"
Lin Shao briefly explained what happened to Ling and Wu, who had changed their appearances. After Bi Fang listened carefully, he replied, "I seem to have some impression of them, especially the one in the back that was covered in blood but still wanted to fly forward. They all went in the same direction."
Bi Fang pointed and gestured to Lin Shao, and then said, "But this direction is where they gathered?
The Lovebirds are all going in this direction. Who is Ling looking for? "
Lin Shao thought about this situation. He didn't think that Ling was looking for anyone. It was just that it was not easy for these big shots of the Bird World to gather together. That was why Ling went there.
But what did Ling want? Why was he so mysterious that he didn't even tell his partner?
"Let's go," Lin Shao pulled Bai Ze, "Let's go and have a look."
Bi Fang led the way in front, and Lin Shao and the others followed behind. However, Lin Shao once again felt the system's trickiness. All the creatures in this mission were birds. It was really troublesome not to spend points to exchange for this flying tomato.
