Chapter 564: The Peacock’s Trace, the Jade Dew Pill is Completed(1/2)
After negotiating a cooperation plan with the ugly man Qin Yang, the turmoil was finally settled.
With both parties involved having reconciled, even if Zhou Chun's attempt to capture the disciples of the Yanyang Sect alive was a bit excessive, due to his cultivation status, the Yanyang Sect would not care too much.
After all, in this matter, it was their side that was at fault.
After Zhou Chun brought Zhou Yuanlian back to his family, he asked her to stay inside the mountain gate and not go out, lest Qin Yang regret and kidnap her and hide her.
Next, Zhou Chun only needs to wait for Qin Yang to come to the door after preparing everything.
It concerns his own path, and he believes that Qin Yang must be more anxious than anyone else to get this matter done.
Sure enough, after Zhou Chun came back, he only had to wait for half a year, and Qin Yang had already exchanged [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass].
Then he personally came to Tuyunling to meet Zhou Chun and wanted to take Zhou Chun to the habitat of the Flame Hell Peacock.
The volcanic zone of Jingguo is mainly located in the area controlled by the Yanyang Sect, and the place where the Yanjing Peacock inhabits is located at the junction of Jinzhou and Shenguoyangzhou.
There are many volcanoes in this border area, with dozens of large and small active volcanoes in total, and volcanoes erupt every few years.
Therefore, this place can be said to be completely depopulated, with no mortals settling at all.
But the figure of the immortal cultivator is extremely active here.
When a volcano erupts, the magma may bring out some spiritual objects that are only produced in the earth's fire magma. The value of these specialty spiritual objects is not low. If a monk in the Qi training period is lucky enough to find one or two spiritual objects, he can live a good life.
It's been a good few years.
Therefore, a large number of treasure hunters often gather near the craters of volcanoes that have recently erupted.
According to Qin Yang's speculation, the Hell Peacock appeared in this area after getting lost in the earth's fire magma.
Because according to the records of the Yanyang Sect, there has never been a demonic beast like the Flame Hell Peacock in this area before, nor even other fire-attributed peacock demonic beasts.
But now that the Hell Peacock has made its home here, it has brought chaos and danger to this place.
Monks who don't know the details often accidentally break into the nest of this hell peacock during the process of treasure hunting, and are then burned to ashes by its demonic fire!
At this time, under the leadership of Qin Yang, Zhou Chun quickly came with him to a volcano that was emitting yellow-white sulfur smoke.
"This is it. The Hell Peacock now uses this volcano as its home base. Its activity range is about two to three hundred miles around, and it has the ability to emerge directly from other nearby volcanic craters through the earth's fire magma!"
"And this beast is now extremely alert and will basically not leave within a hundred miles of the crater. It has even subdued some middle and low-level monsters to help it capture poisonous insects, snakes and ants for food!"
On a mountaintop about thirty or forty miles away from the crater, Qin Yang pointed to the smoking crater in front and explained the relevant situation in a low tone.
In order to collect information about the Flame Hell Peacock, he specially hired some casual cultivators who often moved in this area to help him monitor the Flame Hell Peacock from a distance.
And as long as they are not in close contact, the Flame Hell Peacock will not deliberately kill those casual cultivators in the Qi training period who are like ants in its eyes.
After listening to his words, Zhou Chun immediately asked: "What do you think? How are you going to deliver [Enchon-eye Fire Grass] to the mouth of the Hell Peacock?"
Qin Yang has certainly thought about this question, and immediately replied after hearing the words: "After much thought, I can't make this matter too complicated, otherwise it may be self-defeating, so I am planning to arrange for someone who dares to die."
The soldier will bring the [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass] and appear on the path that the Flame Hell Peacock must pass, and let it seize it on its own!"
"Well, that makes sense, so go ahead and prepare yourself!"
Zhou Chun nodded slightly, agreeing with his plan.
Anyway, he doesn't care about anything else, he only cares about whether the Flame Hell Peacock will evolve into nirvana as Qin Yang said.
If there was no Nirvana evolution, Zhou Chun would have to wait until it had just evolved and kill it.
In this way, although you did not get a fourth-level spiritual pet with great strength and potential, you could still get the body of a fourth-level monster and the demon elixir, and the harvest was equally huge.
After agreeing with Qin Yang's method, Zhou Chun retreated two hundred miles away to avoid disturbing the Flame Hell Peacock.
Then an old monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building and had not long lived was found by Qin Yang to be the one who dared to die.
After Qin Yang promised him a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward, this mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk who only had a few years left in his life directly sold his life to him, and he could do whatever he wanted!
In the next period of time, the old foundation-building monk with a fatal ambition pretended to be an ordinary treasure-hunting monk and moved around the volcano where the Hell Peacock lived.
The picked [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass] was placed in a century-old flame jade box and carried on his back.
After about fifty days passed like this, the Hell Peacock finally discovered this bold human being.
Since it was near the crater, it didn't get used to this human being. After observing it for a while, it took the initiative and burned the old man to ashes with a blast of demonic fire.
However, the jade box made of century-old flame jade could barely withstand the burning of the demonic fire, and allowed the Flame Hell Peacock to sense the aura of the [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass] inside.
Monsters are very sensitive to breath, and they are born to be able to sense which kind of spiritual creature would be good for them to devour.
So after sensing the breath of [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass], the Flame Hell Peacock immediately neighed and put back the still burning demon fire, and quickly landed on the jade box and opened the lid with his claws.
When it discovered the [Eichhornia phoenix-eye fire grass] stored in the jade box, it couldn't help but let out a long hiss filled with joy, and then directly removed the [Eichhornia phoenix-eye fire grass] in the jade box on the spot.
Pecking and swallowing.
After swallowing the [Eichhornia Fire Grass], the Flame Hell Peacock quickly flapped its wings and took off, flew towards the volcano, and then disappeared into the crater.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Chun who was monitoring and observing from a distance through the "insect puppet technique".
"Oops, Qin Yang's intelligence information is wrong!"
Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly went to Qin Yang who was observing further ahead to explain the matter.
Qin Yang himself also saw the Flame Prison Peacock disappearing into the crater through other means, but he seemed to have expected it and acted more calmly than Zhou Chun.
At this time, facing Zhou Chun's doubts, he just said in a solemn voice: "Senior Zhou, don't worry, according to junior's speculation, the Flame Hell Peacock should only build a nest in the crater and not really go to the Earth Fire."
The magma breaks through and evolves!"
Hearing his answer, Zhou Chun couldn't help but look at him deeply and said, "I hope your judgment is correct, otherwise..."
Otherwise, Zhou Chun didn't say it clearly, but Qin Yang knew it.
At that moment, he said in a solemn voice: "Senior Zhou, please rest assured, I will definitely find the Flame Prison Peacock!"
It was estimated that it would take some time for the Flame Hell Peacock to digest the medicinal power of [Phoenix Eye Fire Grass], so even though he was unsure, Qin Yang waited with Zhou Chun for another half a month before heading to the crater to look for him.
.
But what made Qin Yang feel cold was that after the two arrived at the crater, no matter whether they searched with their spiritual senses or ventured down to search inside, they found no trace of the Flame Hell Peacock. Instead, they found an empty bird's nest inside.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what else do you have to say now?"
In the empty bird's nest, Zhou Chun looked at Qin Yang's ugly face with a calm expression, and said in a slightly weird tone.
Qin Yang's face was now black and red, looking extremely ugly.
He had vowed before that nothing would go wrong, but now something did go wrong. He felt ashamed and panicked at the same time.
He knew very well that if he had not subdued or killed the Flame Hell Peacock, Zhou Chun would never have asked Zhou Yuanlian to detoxify him again!
After all, what he did before had greatly offended Zhou Chun and Zhou Yuanlian.
After his expression changed for a while, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Senior Zhou, don't worry, let me think more about it, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"
"Zhou is really not in a hurry. Even if this trip is really in vain, Zhou will only lose some time."
Zhou Chun said lightly, but he turned around and left the place.
For him who practices metal-based skills, this crater is indeed not a comfortable place.
Now that he couldn't find the Hell Peacock, he certainly didn't want to stay here any longer.
Although he said he was not in a hurry, Zhou Chun still cared about the matter in his heart.
After all, he had already put a lot of expectations into this before. If he really got nothing, he would definitely be disappointed.
So after coming out, he also thought carefully about finding the Flame Hell Peacock.
In fact, Zhou Chun basically did not doubt Qin Yang's judgment that it was impossible for the Hell Peacock to evolve while sleeping in the earth's fire magma.
A mere third-level high-grade monster, even if it has innate magical powers, can survive in the earth fire magma, but once it falls into a deep sleep, it is unlikely that it can ignore the burning of the earth fire magma.
Just like ordinary people can take a bath in a high-altitude hot spring, but if you keep soaking in it, it will definitely cause burns and even death, not to mention boiling people!
But now the Hell Peacock has disappeared, and it is certain that it has probably penetrated deep into the volcanic lava.
Now, facing the volcanic magma that even the golden elixir stage monks have difficulty swimming in, it is extremely difficult to find him!
"Senior Zhou, this junior has just thought of a possibility. Do you think that Hell Peacock may have built a hidden nest elsewhere, and now it actually went through the sea of magma and fire to sleep and evolve in that hidden nest?"
Just when Zhou Chun was thinking about the whereabouts of the Flame Prison Peacock, Qin Yang suddenly ran over and expressed his thoughts with excitement on his face.
Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was slightly startled, then nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's possible."
Then he frowned slightly and said, "Even so, how can we find its hidden lair?"
When Qin Yang heard this, he immediately said: "I think we can start from the nearby volcanoes. If the Hell Peacock wants to successfully evolve into Nirvana, it needs to be nourished by the underground fire vein aura, so its nest must be tight."
Connected to the sea of magma and fire!”
"It makes sense, so let's look for it!"
Zhou Chun nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
Then the two of them started to act separately.
However, after the two of them searched all the craters within hundreds of miles around them, they still could not find any possible hidden lairs.
Seeing this situation, Qin Yang spoke to Zhou Chun again and said: "Since there is no nest in the crater with surging magma, it must have placed its nest in some dark caves that are not easy to find. This junior knows this area.
