C100 The Explanation of the Red Boat

The forest on the ground had already turned into a sea of fire.

Liu Sishan, Zhang Shouzhong, and the others were running quickly in the burning forest. They were preparing to head towards the Changsha River.

The Changsha River flowed into the sea from the east of Pearl City, and the other end was in the endless Dashan. Now, the endless Dashan was covered in a sea of fire. If they wanted to live, they had to head towards the Changsha River.

As long as they crossed the Changsha River, no matter how big the fire was, it wouldn't reach them.

"Be careful!"

At this moment, Lu Han shouted loudly and pushed Liu Sishan, who was distracted, away.

A large tree that was burning fell down, and Lu Han was smashed to the ground. The others quickly moved the large tree away.

"Are you alright?" Zhang Shouzhong asked.

Lu Han crawled up and shook his head. "I'm fine."

The moment he was smashed, he strengthened his clothes, so he was fine.

"Sisi, I know you are very worried about Zhang Ping, but now is not the time to be distracted." He looked at Liu Sishan and said seriously.

Actually, he was also worried, but worrying about it now was useless. The most important thing was that they had to survive first before they had the chance to return here to rescue Zhang Ping, who might still be alive.

"Mm, I'm sorry." Liu Sishan said guiltily.

Zhang Shouzhong said, "I'll open the way in front. Everyone, follow me closely. Trust me, Zhang Ping is definitely still alive. That brat is very tough, and he isn't someone who died early."

As soon as he finished speaking, the trapped huge firebird in the distance let out a terrifying roar.

This roar was no longer like the roar of a bird. It was more like the angry roar of a man. At the same time, it was mixed with countless other noises that were difficult to distinguish.

After the roar, the firebird's wings flapped fiercely, forming a storm of flames that swept in all directions.

"Quickly, let's go! This place is not safe!" Zhang Shouzhong's chubby face tightened as he shouted.

He walked at the very front, holding a large shield and a long sword in his hands. All the weeds and trees that blocked the way were cut apart by him. Some of the burning trees fell down, but he used his shield to block them.

The group of people ran wildly through the burning forest, heading towards the distant river.

A few dozen miles away from them, the firebird was struggling crazily. The temperature on its surface was extremely high, and one could vaguely see the skeleton inside the flames.

Zhu Yuanlong was inside the firebird's skeleton. His body was connected to the skeleton, and his body was almost carbonized.

"Zhu Hongfang!"

He was still alive. Although his eyes had been burned away, so he could not see anything, he could feel that Zhu Hongfang was still nearby.

"Why?"

"Why did you plot against me?"

He needed an answer. Zhu Hongfang's plan had gone very smoothly at the beginning, and he was almost able to obtain the power of the divine bird. However, at the last moment, Zhu Hongfang had added a drop of blood into the ceremony.

This drop of blood had caused the entire ceremony to go berserk. The power of the divine bird seemed to have been revived, and he had become the nourishment of this revival.

"Zhu Hongfang, you deserve to die. I will kill you, kill you!!!"

Zhu Yuanlong roared furiously in the darkness. His crazy will even affected the firebird that was recovering. The firebird let out a terrifying roar, and its pair of flaming eyes emitted a trace of evil intent.

A few thousand meters away from the huge firebird, Zhu Hongfang and the others were observing the situation of the firebird.

"Zhu Yuanlong is too confident. We finally found the divine bird, how could we let him have it so easily? He thinks that he has the talent of a king, so he will get whatever benefits he wants. What a joke." A young man sneered.

Zhu Hongfang chuckled and said, "Zhu Yuanlong is actually not stupid. He is just too arrogant. He really thinks that he is the master of the revival of the Zhu family. Only he can control the power of the divine bird. That's why he fell for our trap so easily. If it was any other plan, he might not have fallen for it."

"Big sister, will the divine bird really listen to us after it wakes up?" A girl asked worriedly.

Zhu Hongfang laughed and said, "Of course. I have been nurturing the blood of the Sacred Embryo Ceremony for three years. It will obediently recognize me as its mother. My words will be its imperial edict!"

The Sacred Embryo Ceremony was an extremely cruel ceremony. The woman had to be pregnant for three years, and the three fetuses would be nurtured with the blood of the three fetuses. Finally, the Sacred Embryo would be refined by the ceremony, and only one drop of blood would be obtained.

This drop of blood would definitely be able to perfectly control the creature that was revived.

In order to obtain this drop of blood, Zhu Hongfang had to pay a lot of money.

"Big sister, after we obtain the divine bird, will we really fall out with the elders?" A young man asked.

Zhu Hongfang chuckled, then gently caressed the young man's face with her hand and replied, "Do you really think that the King Level is very strong? The catabolic beast is just a catabolic beast in the end. What kind of nonsense is 'treating the elders'? It's enough to deceive Zhu Yuanlong. Whoever really wants to do that is courting death."

"The elders can't even deal with Situ Shibai. Isn't Situ Shibai suppressed by the catabolic beast now? Why does it sound like the elders are stronger than the King Level?" The girl at the side asked.

Zhu Hongfang looked at the struggling firebird and said with a smile, "Sister is in a good mood today, so I'll give you a free lesson. If it's just dealing with the catabolic beast, even if it's a King Level catabolic beast, the elders can take out the corresponding equipment. There is a high chance that they can kill it in one hit. Don't look at how the divine bird has a strength that is not weaker than the King Level after it is revived. It's far from enough to deal with the elders with it."

Then she looked at Pearl City and continued, "But it's different when dealing with Situ Shibai. Situ Shibai has too many abilities. Guess what kind of abilities he has?"

"Ten thousand types?" The young man guessed.

The young girl guessed, "One hundred thousand types?"

"According to the elders' observation and analysis, Situ Shibai has mastered at least three hundred thousand types of abilities. Among them, there are at least one hundred thousand passive abilities. Just these passive abilities stacked together is already unimaginable." Zhu Hongfang said with a smile.

The young man revealed a puzzled expression and asked, "Then why was he suppressed by the Moon King?"

"Then why don't you think about it? Why did we only work with the Moon King now? It's not like there were no other King Level catabolic beasts in the past." Zhu Hongfang pointed at the young man's forehead and said with a smile.

All the youths behind her revealed an understanding look.

It was obvious that the Zhu family cooperated with the Sky Fox because the Moon King's ability coincidentally restrained Situ Shibai. Otherwise, there was no need for them to endure for two hundred years.

"The divine bird is about to revive!"

Zhu Hongfang looked at the faint traces of blood on the skeleton of the divine bird and said with a smile.

A thousand meters away, Zhu Yuanlong let out a painful roar. The power in his spinal cord was slowly being extracted by the skeleton. However, he was quickly recovering his strength in the flames.

However, this kind of recovery consumed his lifespan!

If this continued, he would be sucked dry of his lifespan by the skeleton.
