A flicker of astonishment flashed through her mind, but she quickly thought of the purpose of this trip and promptly cast this doubt aside.
She had to find the Immortal Dendrobium Herb quickly to save her master!
She had just taken a few steps forward when she suddenly felt something wriggling in her chest.
"Whoosh!"
Before she could react, a small head popped out and stared at her.
It was exactly the egg that had fallen out on Cangyan Mountain and had been raised by her master!
"How did this thing end up on me!"
Yaohua was startled. She had walked all this way without even noticing!
"I guess after the god met with trouble, it had nowhere to go, so it hid in your bosom."
Was this the point!
The real point was why she hadn't noticed it at all!
"After all, it's a being sealed by Tianmo. It's normal for it to have some extraordinary abilities." The system's voice, as if watching a good show, rang in Yaohua's mind. "Since it came in with you, you can't do much about it. Just raise it!"
Yaohua gritted her teeth. What else could she do but raise it?
"When I'm hungry, I'll pluck your feathers and roast you with the True Fire of the Phoenix!"
The little yellow chicken had been struggling to reach her neck, trying to wrap its wings around it. However, being too small and too fat, it couldn't succeed for a while. Suddenly hearing Yaohua's voice, its whole little body stiffened.
Then it flapped its wings and landed on the ground with a thud.
Yaohua's gaze lingered on the small pit it had made for a moment and frowned. "How did master raise it? Why is it so fat?"
Master must have given it a lot of good food!
Thinking that during these seven years, she had been training hard in the Ancestral Tomb, while this little yellow chicken had been enjoying the good life by master's side, she felt a pang of frustration.
"It doesn't matter. Fat ones taste better when roasted."
The little yellow chicken seemed to understand her words. It quickly struggled up from the ground, flapped its wings, and scurried around in a panic.
This was the little yellow chicken raised by her master. Yaohua was just saying that. How could she really roast and eat it?
Seeing it running around, she quickly chased after it.
Unexpectedly, although the little yellow chicken had short legs, it ran quite fast. In a short while, it disappeared from sight.
At this moment, Yaohua suddenly felt a powerful pressure coming towards her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She looked up and found that she had unknowingly walked into a huge skeleton. The thick ribs were horizontally across above her head, and she was stepping on the spine...
"Senior, please forgive me. I didn't do it on purpose. I just followed my master's pet. Once I find it, I'll leave right away."
Yaohua put her hands together and murmured. Then she took out two fresh fruits from her space and placed them on the ground under the skeleton of this unknown senior.
"These are just some small gifts. Please accept them, senior."
The powerful pressure immediately dissipated, and Yaohua let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, a chirping sound came.
Yaohua was momentarily stunned. Were there still birds and beasts in this Divine Tomb?
However, when she looked in the direction of the sound, she realized she had thought too much.
The little yellow chicken was stuck in a gap in the skeleton. Its two fat wings flapped non - stop, but it just couldn't break free.
Yaohua was speechless for a moment. She suddenly felt that she had really thought too much before.
This little chick was so stupid. How could master possibly take it as a disciple?
She rescued the little yellow chicken with a mix of amusement and helplessness and stuffed it into her bosom.
"Don't run around anymore. Otherwise, if master knows I lost you, he'll be sad."
She didn't know if the little yellow chicken understood. Anyway, it chirped a few times and then stayed quietly in Yaohua's bosom.
Yaohua let out a soft breath. Just then, a touch of tender green caught her eye.
That was...
She couldn't help but take two steps closer.
It was the Immortal Dendrobium Herb!
The little yellow chicken had really done a great job!
Yaohua picked it up and kissed it, then stuffed it back into her bosom.
The little yellow chicken was dizzy from the kiss. It subconsciously grabbed Yaohua's collar and gently pecked her chin to show its affection.
Yaohua perfunctorily pressed it down and went to pick the Immortal Dendrobium Herb.
Just as she was about to touch the herb, the ground suddenly shook. Countless dust fell from the senior's skeleton and covered Yaohua from head to toe.
Yaohua thought something was wrong and wanted to pick the herb first.
However, a fierce baby's cry sent her flying.
For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere, blocking her sight.
Yaohua took several steps back to steady herself.
Why was there a baby crying in this place?
Was there still a living person in the Divine Tomb?
The system sneered disdainfully in her mind. "I told you to study hard."
Yaohua pouted. Then she saw a ancient beast with a sheep's body, a human face, eyes under its armpits, tiger's teeth and human claws strutting out from the gray sand and dust. Its long, golden vertical pupils stared coldly at her.
"This is... the ferocious beast Paoxiao!" Yaohua came to her senses from her brief daze. Her back suddenly felt cold.
Paoxiao was a symbol of greed. Everything it saw was regarded as its own.
According to ancient records, once someone touched its things and was targeted by it, it would be a fight to the death.
Now Yaohua had only two options. One was to use the key to open the passage and leave here; the other was to kill Paoxiao. Otherwise, as long as it was there, Yaohua would never be able to get the Immortal Dendrobium Herb that the ferocious beast regarded as its own.
But Yaohua chose a third option.
She turned into a beam of light and ran as far as she could.
If she couldn't beat it, couldn't she just run?
Seeing that Paoxiao couldn't catch up, Yaohua stopped and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Why is there a Paoxiao here? Didn't this ferocious beast go extinct in the prehistoric era?"
"This is the Divine Tomb. There should be an ancient beast guarding it. Be careful. Don't startle it again."
"But it's guarding the Immortal Dendrobium Herb. What can I do?" Yaohua had just finished speaking when her eyes lit up. "Right! I can use the strategy of luring the tiger away from its den!"
She sat down on the ground and took out a stack of paper from her bosom.
The paper puppet technique taught by master was really useful. No wonder it was from master!
One paper puppet wasn't safe enough, so Yaohua folded a few more.
"Paoxiao can smell your scent. The aura on your puppets is too weak." The system couldn't help but remind her.
This was easy. Yaohua bit her finger, hissed, and dropped a drop of blood on each puppet.
Then she wrapped herself tightly with the True Fire of the Phoenix.
Water could isolate scents, and fire could do the same.
She found the location of the Immortal Dendrobium Herb and carefully looked over. Sure enough, the Paoxiao was guarding it.
She quickly released a puppet.
The puppet landed and ran into the distance.
Paoxiao chirped and rushed in the direction of the paper puppet.
Yaohua quickly threw out the remaining puppets. Then she jumped to the side of the Immortal Dendrobium Herb like a cat and quickly put it into her space.
Master was saved!
After getting this herb, Yaohua's heart immediately settled down.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that only the fruit cores were left of the fresh fruits she had placed before. She was speechless for a moment. Paoxiao must have eaten them!
