But there was no other way,
No matter how difficult the task was,
Didn't he have to grit his teeth and climb up?
Taotie had no wings,
And couldn't fly. They climbed up the mountain by relying on their sharp claws to grab the mountain wall and strength.
Naturally, he carried Lin Shao in the same way.
Fortunately, Lin Shao had eaten four bottles of Happy Growth before and trained his body,
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to agree to go up like this.
"It's okay,
I won't die. "Taotie gave Lin Shao a guarantee.
"Just tie yourself up and you'll be fine.
And I'll keep an eye on you so you don't fall. "
Lin Shao: "… Then I have to kneel and beg you to keep an eye on me,
After all, I only have one life,
I can't choose to do it again. "
Just as Lin Tuo summoned up the courage to comfort herself and said that she loved every line of work and was about to set out with Taotie, Bai Ze came out from the system at this time.
As soon as he came out, he poked Lin Shao's forehead helplessly and said, "Do you really plan to go up like this? Don't you want to live?"
Lin Shao covered his forehead and looked at him, "What else can I do?"
Bai Ze answered and turned around to carry Lin Shao on his back.
"You're going to send me up?" Lin Shao was surprised and struggled a few times on his back,
"But you can't intervene in the task, right?"
Bai Ze didn't put him down after listening to his words. Instead, he let him lean closer and said, "Don't I still have a task?
Do I have to protect your safety? "
"I don't know if this counts as skirting the line."
Lin Shao said worriedly,
"I'm afraid you'll be banned again like last time."
"No, I won't."
Bai Ze carried him on his back, exchanged a look with Taotie, and said, "Be good, hold on to me, we're going to set off."
Before Lin Shao could react, Bai Ze flew up, and Taotie also jumped and grabbed the mountain wall.
After setting off, the speed was very fast, but Lin Shao, who was lying on Bai Ze's back, felt very stable.
Not long after, the two of them had risen to a rather terrifying height. Lin Shao looked down and saw that the trees on the ground had become the size of rice grains. His fear of heights was not serious, but he still subconsciously hugged Bai Ze tightly.
Before long, they arrived at the top of Huai Jiang Mountain.
The top of Huai River Mountain was not flat, there was still some slope, but it was much gentler than the bottom.
This cylindrical mountain had a very long diameter, and the space at the top was also very large. There were many tall and straight trees growing here. Perhaps because the terrain was too high, the fog lingered here, and everything was hazy.
Lin Shao got down from Bai Ze's back and held his hand in place, waiting very nervously for a moment. When he did not wait for the system's notification of a foul, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took a few steps forward, and when he looked back again, it was already covered by the fog, and he could not see the way back.
The top of Huai Jiang Mountain was a little scary after walking for a long time. Although the trees were tall, when he got closer, he found that they were all withered, leaving only bare branches. The low bushes and grass next to them were also withered. The whole place showed a kind of pale yellow feeling without the slightest vitality.
"Which way should we go to Ying Zhao's home?" Lin Shao looked at the layers of fog and the scene next to him and could not help but ask.
Taotie also looked around and hesitated. Finally, he pointed in a direction very uncertainly and said, "That way."
Lin Shao walked in the direction he pointed. After walking for a long time, he circled around a section of the forest. The fog in front of him dissipated, and his vision suddenly became clear.
He did not see Ying Zhao, but as his vision cleared, Lin Shao saw thousands of rolling mountains, like a giant painting.
Huai Jiang Mountain was high up, and he had an excellent vantage point. This was Lin Shao's first time seeing the Mountain and Sea Realm so vast. The mountains were green, and the meandering rivers flowed through them. Everything was unpolluted and pure, and it was so beautiful that it left him speechless.
Lin Shao's eyes did not move. Compared to the places he had just passed, the scenery in front of him was too beautiful. He stood there in a daze, staring at it until Bai Ze could not help but reach out to pinch his face. Only then did he come back to his senses.
"So beautiful, the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Lin Shao praised, then looked into the distance. He pointed in a direction and asked, "Bai Ze, where is that?"
Bai Ze looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a different color among the mountains. It was as bright as the sun, and upon closer inspection, it seemed to be floating in the air.
"That's Kunlun," Bai Zedao said. "There are only a few places in the Mountain and Sea Realm where you can see Kunlun. Huai Jiang Mountain is one of them."
"Wow," Lin Shao sighed. "It looks amazing."
"There's nothing amazing about it. It's just a place to stay," Bai Zedao said. "If there's a chance in the future, I'll take you there to play."
Lin Shao listened to his casual tone and nodded with a smile.
The Taotie also stood in front of this picturesque scene for a long time. He turned around and sighed. "If I hadn't come to Huai Jiang Mountain, I wouldn't have been able to see the Mountain and Sea Realm like this. Regardless of whether or not I can find Ying Zhao, this trip wasn't in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from below the cliff. "Then, what are you doing here in Huai Jiang Mountain?"
The Taotie was stunned when he heard this voice. He hadn't expected to meet the person in question here. He turned his head in the direction of the voice and asked tentatively, "Ying Zhao?
Heavenly Deity Ying Zhao? "
"That's me."
The sound from the bottom of the cliff was getting closer and closer. The first thing Lin Shao saw was a pair of white wings, the same wings as the ones he had captured in the video. Then, he saw the full appearance of the creature flying up from the bottom of the cliff.
Ying Zhao's body was like a tiger's, but its face was much thinner. Its wings were huge, and every time they flapped, the wind it created caused Lin Shao's face to hurt.
"I heard some movement here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see you here."
Ying Zhao's voice was very deep, and when it spoke, it sounded like the beating of a drum. After it finished speaking, it didn't forget to look at Lin Shao and ask, "This is?"
"He's the messenger," the Taotie said.
Lin Shao could clearly see that after the Taotie revealed his identity, Ying Zhao took a step back and looked at him with more vigilance.
"He's the new messenger." At that moment, Bai Ze stepped forward and revealed himself. "He's only been here for two months."
Ying Zhao relaxed a little when it saw Bai Ze. It lowered its head in greeting and asked, "The new messenger … Did Lord Baize bring him here?"
"Yes," Bai Ze nodded, "I brought him here myself."
When Ying Zhao heard Bai Ze's words, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Its hostility towards Lin Shao also disappeared, but it still didn't come forward. It just said, "That's good.
Then, why did you come to Huai Jiangshan to find me? "
Lin Shao and the Taotie looked at each other. Taotie stood on the old acquaintance's side and said, "I'm here this time because of what happened last night."
"Last night?"
"Yes, it's about what happened in Taiqi Mountain last night."
After hearing this sentence, Ying Zhao's wings shook in the air again. After a moment of silence, it said, "Last night, were you the one who arranged those things there?
It was so bright that my eyes hurt. "
Lin Tuo took a step forward and replied, "I set it up. I did it because Wen Yao asked me to do it."
"Forget it."
When Ying Zhao heard this, it sighed and looked at Bai Ze again. "If it's because of this, I can't explain it clearly … Ai, come with me."
After saying this, it flapped its wings and flew in another direction.
Lin Shao and the Taotie naturally hurried to follow it. After circling more than half of Huai Jiangshan, Lin Shao saw a flat area among the withered trees.
The strange thing was that the surrounding forest was filled with white fog. When the fog reached here, it suddenly dissipated, as if there was an invisible barrier separating this place from the outside world.
This flat area was obviously not formed naturally. There was a path paved with tiles that led straight to the inside. As they walked in, they saw stone pillars with strange patterns carved on them. The pillars formed a square garden, but the inside was very messy. Weeds grew taller than a person, and vines grew messily around the pillars. There were also many spiderweb-like cracks on the pillars, and some were even broken in half. It looked very bleak.
Was this the legendary Xuan Pu of the Yellow Emperor?
Lin Shao walked around this messy place, his eyes unconsciously looking to the side. Not only him, but also Taotie and Bai Ze's movements.
"How did this place become like this?"
Taotie asked aloud, his voice revealing a bit of surprise. "The last time I came, it was still …"
"When was the last time you came?" Ying Zhao asked. "This place is no longer the same as before."
Bai Ze was silent.
Ying Zhao's flying speed was too fast, so Bai Ze followed along with Lin Shao on his back. Lin Shao only felt Bai Ze's hand tighten a little. It seemed that he was also a little touched by the scene in front of him.
Lin Shao had not seen what the garden was like before. He leaned on Bai Ze's back and said nothing. He didn't know what to say.
They walked along the road in the garden, and at the last turn, Ying Zhao stopped.
Lin Shao also got down from Bai Ze's back. He opened his eyes wide and looked ahead.
What entered his line of sight was a huge stone pillar that required three or four people to wrap their arms around it. The patterns on it were also different from the other pillars. From time to time, a thin golden light would flash through the cracks in the patterns on the pillar.
But more importantly, under the shining golden stone pillar, there was a creature that Lin Shao had never seen before tied up with an iron chain.
At first glance, this creature looked like a cow, but it was much bigger than a cow. It was black all over, and it had eight legs under its body and two heads on its body. It looked like two cows joined together in a strange way.
