Taking Shi Fenglan, who was wearing a black robe, back to the barrier, Shi Fenglan looked east and west, with curiosity on her face.

"Xiao Beiran, what are you doing here these days?" Shi Fenglan turned to look at Xiao Beiran and asked.

"Looking for something."

"Did you find it?"

"Well, I found it."

During the conversation, the two walked into An Mingqiongqi's lair.

"Wow! So many strange beasts."

Seeing the strange beasts sleeping in a row in the cave, Shi Fenglan exclaimed.

"Don't worry, they don't hurt anyone."

At this time, An Mingqiongqi suddenly stood up and walked to Jiang Beiran. He sniffed Shi Fenglan first, and then said, "An unfamiliar smell."

"You really haven't seen it. I just went out for a trip. How about it? Have you tossed a coin?"

"Not yet." An Mingqiongqi sighed and shook his head.

"You are too indecisive. How can you lead the tribe in the future?"

Shi Fenglan listened happily to the conversation between one person and one beast, so she pulled Xiao Beiran's clothes and said, "What kind of strange beast is this? Its fur is so beautiful."

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran replied: "This is Dark Qiongqi, a very rare beast."

Then Jiang Beiran said to An Mingqiongqi: "She praised your coat for being beautiful."

An Mingqiongqi was obviously very satisfied with this compliment. He shook the red mane on his neck and said proudly, "Of course, I have the most beautiful fur among the tribe."

"Can I touch it?" Shi Fenglan stepped forward and asked.

After listening to the translation, Jiang Beiran said to An Mingqiongqi: "She wants to touch your mane."

"The mane is the glory of our Qiongqi clan, how can we touch it casually?"

"I'll cook you another lamb chop tomorrow."

"Then you can only touch it."

"make a deal."

After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he looked at Shi Fenglan and said, "Touch it."

"Hehe." Shi Fenglan laughed happily, stretched out her hand and rubbed An Mingqiongqi's mane several times, "It's soft and comfortable."

To Jiang Beiran's surprise, An Mingqiongqi seemed to enjoy being touched so much that he almost narrowed his eyes.

'Is this a canine or a feline?'

At this time, Zhu Shangzhen, who was about to go out to relax, happened to arrive on the first floor and was stunned when he saw a man in black robe caressing An Ming Qiongqi.

‘Isn’t this Qiongqi really adopted as a pet by the black-robed senior...’

Recalling that when he first came to this barrier by chance, he easily fought off several strange beasts that surrounded him. But just when he thought he was safe, this mysterious beast suddenly fell from the sky and crushed it with absolute strength.

He grabbed it with a pressing gesture.

The power of the eighth-level alien beast is really terrifying, and Qiongqi is a top-level alien beast known for being good at fighting. When he is one level behind, no matter how many tricks he uses, it will be in vain.

But such a hot-blooded and belligerent An Ming Qiongqi was now being touched like a cat, and the person touching it was a human.

'It's incredible...'

After thinking about it, he still had no face to see the senior in black robe, so Zhu Shangzhen sneaked back to the second floor before the senior in black robe noticed.

Of course, Jiang Beiran must have noticed every move he made.

'Well, it seems that I haven't recovered yet, which is good.'

This is what Jiang Beiran wants. The more ashamed Zhu Shangzhen is at this moment, the more profound the sincerity that will burst out later.

Then, when Shi Fenglan felt comfortable, An Mingqiongqi seemed to remember the majesty of a beast that he should have, and shook his head, getting rid of Shi Fenglan's touch.

Shi Fenglan didn't chase and touch it, but turned her head and asked Xiao Beiran in a low voice: "Xiao Beiran, is this the pet you keep here?"

"no."

"Okay~" Shi Fenglan said with a disappointed look.

After saying hello, Jiang Beiran looked at An Mingqiongqi again and said, "Make a decision quickly, otherwise I won't wait for you on the day I leave."

"I know." An Mingqiongqi nodded.

After An Mingqiongqi went back to think again, Jiang Beiran took Shi Fenglan to the cocooned cave of Qu Yangze on the second floor.

"Master's house."

When Xia Lingdang saw her master coming up, she saluted immediately.

Then Ju Zimin and Huo Hongfei, who were sitting cross-legged and practicing Qigong, immediately stood up and said: "Master (Lord)"

Looking at the two people saluting him, Jiang Beiran said: "Hongfei, you have completed the task of finding the Emperor Gu very well. Now I have another task for you."

"Your Majesty, please give me all your instructions." Huo Hongfei cupped his hands and said.

"This time you were able to quickly gain a foothold in Zeng State and find clues about the Emperor Gu in the black market, which proves that your ability is indeed outstanding. Returning to Sheng State is a bit of a waste of your talents. From today on, you can stay in Zeng State and develop.

Build up a local force for me."

Huo Hongfei shuddered after hearing this. Although he had always felt that the Lord had the ability to dominate the entire Xuanlin Continent, the Lord had never made his position clear.

Now that these words have come out, Huo Hongfei can be said to have completely confirmed this point.

"My lord, I just want to be the lord of this world!"

So he excitedly raised his hands and said, "Yes! I accept the order!"

Nodding, Jiang Beiran looked at Zhu Zimin again and said: "Hongfei wants to gain a foothold in Zeng State without the support of you, a local. There are many problems that you will need to deal with. I hope you can take charge of it on your own soon."

"Yes, disciple, accept the order." The resident said decisively, cupping his hands.

"Okay, then you have nothing to do here, I will send you out."

Shi Fenglan on the side obviously wanted the two of them to stay and play simulated cultivating immortals together, but just as she was about to speak, Xiao Beiran, who took off his hood, stared back.

In the end, Shi Fenglan could only watch Jiang Beiran send two potential "playmates" out of the barrier, but fortunately Xia Lingdang stayed. It was also very interesting for the three of them to simulate cultivating immortals.

Returning to the second floor of the nest, Shi Fenglan noticed the huge cocoon.

"Xiao Beiran, what is this?" Shi Fenglan looked at it curiously and asked.

"Cocoon, the reason I delayed it for so long was just waiting for it to hatch."

"What will hatch?"

"You'll know then."

After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged and was about to take out the Yao Qin when he saw Shi Fenglan kneeling in front of him with a sprint of 100 meters and raising the chessboard that simulated cultivating immortals.

Poking her head out from one side of the chessboard, Shi Fenglan blinked her eyes and said, "Xiao Beiran~ Let's play for a while."

"We'll talk about it later. You can go play the Legend of the Black Dragon with Lingdang for a while."

"All right."

Shi Fenglan was a little disappointed and put away the chessboard, but when she thought of being able to "abuse food" again, Shi Fenglan happily walked towards Xia Lingdang.

When Shi Fenglan took out the [Legend of Black Dragon] cards and Xia Lingdang began to explain the rules, Jiang Beiran took out the Yao Qin and started playing.

…

Five more days passed quickly. Although the huge silkworm cocoon in the cave remained unchanged, Jiang Beiran, who used his mental power to inspect it every day, knew that the day when Qu Yangze emerged from the cocoon should not be too far away.

However, the reason was not that Lao Wang had defeated all the other twelve King Gu, but that the Emperor Gu had awakened.

After eight days, the Emperor Gu, who was originally dying and already in a state of death, finally recovered after absorbing nutrients from Qu Yangze's body for eight days.

And its resurgence was like a trumpet sound to calm down the war. In an instant, the twelve king Gu retreated towards their original stronghold like defeated generals who had not attacked the high ground.

Leave Lao Wang and Huang Gu in the heart, chatting with each other.

Only then did Jiang Beiran realize that Lao Wang was not fighting a "total war", but "protecting Athena".

As long as you hold on until the Emperor Gu wakes up, you will win.

Looking at the twelve king Gus that retreated into their own organs, Jiang Beiran suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart. They were willing to sacrifice their heads and blood for the goddess. Even if half of their bodies were lost, even if their heads were lost, they were still the same.

Time and time again I want to attack the high ground and recapture the goddess.

pity……

As the defeated party, they could only hide in their nests and watch the goddess and Lao Wang being sweet.

'Fuck! That's so cruel!'

However, the Emperor Gu has been awake for two days, but Qu Yangze still has no intention of breaking out of his cocoon. Jiang Beiran guessed that the Wang Gu were "decorating their new home" to welcome the Emperor Gu. When the new home is decorated, Qu Yang

Ze can wake up.

When he wakes up this time, Qu Yangze's physical strength should reach a new level.
