It was still dark. After the two of them came out of the cave, they saw that all the plants and trees outside the cave disappeared, leaving only rugged rocks. Looking at it, the mountain range was deserted and without any vitality.

Jiang Veng snorted in shock, that is, she can't speak now, otherwise she would definitely have to be confused.

Ying Qiao saw his shocked expression, but was not too surprised and said, "What are you most afraid of?"

Of course I'm afraid of hunger!

Jiang Qing did not hesitate, and danced and whimpered, showing her fear.

It's scary to be hungry.

Ying Qiao pinched his claws and pointed to the desolate land outside the cave and said, "This is your fear."

After Ying Qiao understood that they were actually in the cauldron, it was speculated from Jiang Qing's various behaviors that their environment was related to Jiang Qing's fear.

Jiang Qing was afraid of hunger, so in the illusion, except for the rocks, plants and trees, there was no living creature. In the illusion, his hunger came too quickly than usual. However, in just half a day and one night, Jiang Qing ate many times more gems than usual, and even lost control due to hunger. Now that he woke up, the land outside the cave had become a barren land. At first glance, only rugged rocks stood, and there were not even grass and trees that could barely satisfy their hunger.

If you stay longer, maybe even these rocks may not be left. For Taotie, it may be a desperate situation where you can't eat.

This is fear originating from instinct, no wonder Jiang Qing couldn't get out.

Jiang Qing tilted her head and looked at him with confusion, as if she didn't understand what he was saying. Instead, she took two gems from the storage ring and ate them, shaking her tail happily.

"Forget it." Ying Qiao laughed when he saw this: "Anyway, I'm going out, I don't know if I don't know."

He turned into his true form, wrapped Jiang Veng with his tail and protected him in the middle, pressed his eyebrows against his eyebrows, rubbed his head intimately, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't move, I'll take you out."

Jiang Qing looked at him with his eyes open, feeling a comfortable warm current crossing from the edges between his eyebrows. He let out a pleasant hum, and his eyes widened and gradually closed...

After he completely lost consciousness, Ying Qiao rolled up him, flapped his wings behind him, and then soared into the sky, tearing the darkness through...

***

Jiang Qing was drowsy, as if she had a very long dream.

The dream is bizarre, there are Lao Qiyaozi, the ancient Wa people with resentment, and even the red monster with sad eyes...

He was trapped in the fragmented memory, struggling to wake up, but he was like a drowning person. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not find a way out.

Just as he was exhausted, a familiar voice came from a distant place, calling his name constantly.

"Jiang Rui? Jiang Rui?"

It is Ying Qiao's voice.

Ying Qiao came to find him?

Jiang Veng looked in a daze in the direction of the sound, like a fish leaping out of the water, a young butterfly breaking through the silkworm pupa, and his stagnant and slow thinking became clear in an instant. He sat up suddenly and gasped in big breaths. When he looked up at Ying Qiao, his eyes were clear and his mind was clear: "Ying Qiao?"

After saying that, he recalled those fragmented fragments and said hurriedly: "Lao Qi is still alive, just in the small world. We also met a powerful giant who relied on the resentment of the ancient Wa people. Once he came out, the small world would shake and may make people lose their memory. We must find him quickly..."

He covered his head, which was aching because of the amount of information too much, and tried his best to inform Ying Qiao of what he remembered.

After recovering his memory, he finally understood why Lao Qi was still alive but did not return to the Dragon Palace and lost his memory.

The gods worshipped by the ancient Wa people are the giants in the Red Maple Valley. The current "Ancient Wa people" are not the real ancient Wa people. Perhaps a long time ago, some of the victims had Wa people. Under the influence and assimilation of the small world, they forgot that they had died and still repeat their previous lives day after day. They also held head sacrifices.

This small world will randomly overlap with the real world. After ordinary people who mistakenly enter, they will be chopped off their heads as sacrifices, and then presented to the gods as sacrifices by the "Aunt Wa people" to pray to the gods to calm their anger.

But in fact, whenever the "gods" get angry, it is the time when the small world is shaking. After the small world is shaking, everything returns to the origin. Everyone in the small world loses their memories. Even the sacrifices whose heads are cut off live like living people after they have no memories.

But in fact, they were already dead.

It is only under the influence of blood-red resentment all over the mountains and valleys that false appearances are maintained.

Only when the small world is shaking, will they express a violent aura and reveal their true appearance when they recall their tragic deaths before their lives.

The bloody resentment of the Red Maple Valley made them assimilated. At the same time, the torture day after day made them remain undispersed and almost integrated with the entire small world.

"Yao Zi is not dead." Ying Qiao listened to his words, took out the spiritual medicine he carried with him and fed him one, and said, "I just saw a shadow like Ya Zi wandering around from afar, but you haven't woken up yet, so you haven't chased him."

The spiritual medicine clears the heart, Jiang Veng's head, which was aching in a faint way, finally healed a little, and even the vague memories became clear.

He also talked about the process of meeting giants, red monsters and men in red.

Ying Qiao confirmed his guess with his words again, confirming that his guess was eight or nine.

When Jiang Qing heard him say that the red monster might be Jiang Chishi, he couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, he didn't say anything at that time. He quickly ate two gems and said, "You said the giant I met was 'Chiyou'?"

When he was rampant in ancient times, Chi You had already been defeated and died. He had heard the story of Chi You, but the rumors about Chi You were different and their appearances were very different, so he did not know Chi You. Instead, the man in red... he felt a little familiar.

"It's Gonggong." Jiang Qing affirmed after recalling for a moment.

Gonggong was the son of the Fire God Zhurong. He was originally an old subordinate of Emperor Yan, but later he followed his father to the command of Emperor Huang. He knew that Emperor Huang gave up his throne. Zhuanxu succeeded him and was ordered to be resigned. Li and the other two were very dissatisfied. He led his subordinates to rebel and intended to fight with Zhuanxu.

But he was unable to compete for Zhuanxu. After his defeat, he broke into Buzhou Mountain and fled, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to fall, making the situation that was not easy for the demon clan to be even more difficult.

Back then, Shi Wu often insulted Gonggong passionately in front of him.

"If Gonggong was Qianjun, it would make sense." Ying Qiao said.

Dissatisfied with Zhuanxu's sacred world and his ability to win over the floating world, Tianwu, Yuanyin and other ancient monsters have been working under their command; there are actually not many great monsters who can know many ancient secrets and live to this day.

"After Gong was defeated and fled, he made a comeback." Ying Qiao remembered an old thing to prove it: "When King Yu was in charge of the flood, he encountered Wuzhiqi's rebellion, and Gengchen helped him. Later, after Gengchen came back, he mentioned a sentence, and let Gonggong run away again."

Gonggong is the God of Water. As long as there is water, it is almost impossible to kill him completely. Therefore, he can escape from Zhuanxu and Gengchen one after another.

Jiang Luan said in confusion: "But what did he do to capture Jiang Chi and me? Even if we add up, it is impossible to break the barrier between heaven and earth."

Ying Qiao reached out and pulled him up, smiling and said, "I'm going to ask my good uncle now."

“…”

Jiang Qing looked at his expression and always felt that his smile was a bit cunning.

He silently lit a wax for Gengchen in his heart.

The little uncle has a good journey.

The two discussed it and decided to find Yazi who was running around outside first, and then go to Gengchen.

Ying Qiao came out of the illusion with Jiang Veng and arrived at the real small world. He originally thought that Gengchen and Jiuding must be nearby, but he didn't want to search for a circle nearby. Gengchen Jiuding, and Jiang Chi and Gonggong were missing.

He became more and more convinced that Gengchen had planned all this.

"Found Yazi, brother and the others should come in too." Ying Qiao calculated the time and said.

At this time, Ji Xian, who received the news, should have arrived almost.

I hope Gengchen can still grit his teeth and be a man, and carry Ji Xian's anger on his shoulders as he does now.

***

"Ah sneezing!"

Gengchen, who was explaining his plan to Jiang Chi, suddenly sneezes. He shivered for no reason, thinking that it must be the little bastard Ying Qiao who was scolding him.

Shaking his head, Gengchen put aside his meaningless thoughts and continued to say to Jiang Chi: "Remember, when the sky thunder falls, don't hesitate to hide in the cauldron. If it's slow, I can't save you, do you know?"

Jiang Chi nodded obediently: "I know."

Gengchen took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "Then I will let him out."

After saying that, the transformed human figures scattered and hid into the Nine Cauldrons.

Then, Jiang Chiyi, as he told him, put down the nine tripods, turned into a ball of red mist, and jumped into the nine tripods. The red mist surged among the nine tripods, making waves of unwilling roars.

Even the Nine Cauldrons that were imprisoning him were trembling slightly.

A moment later, a red figure was thrown out of the Nine Cauldrons. After landing, Gonggong, who turned into red-haired and red-clothed clothes, his expression was dazed for a moment. When he saw the Nine Cauldrons in front of him, he waved his hand to summon the Nine Cauldrons and said happily: "I didn't expect that you were better. Taotie was actually too weak."

The red mist surging in the cauldron made a roar, as if it was about to break through the shackles.

Gonggong smiled and took the Nine Cauldrons into his sleeves, calculating the time: "Fortunately, I didn't miss the time."

After saying that, he took out half of the Xuanyuan Sword, slashed into the void, and left this small world.

He walked in a hurry, but did not notice the forest behind him. Yazi sneaked out half of his head.

Yazi stared at the place where Gonggong disappeared out of thin air, looked at the void in confusion and then at the sword under his claws. He hesitated for a moment, imitating Gonggong, and slashed at the void with a short sword in his mouth. Unexpectedly, he really let him draw a narrow passage. He whistled excitedly, and rushed over quickly before the passage disappeared.
