The True Fire of the Phoenix quietly wrapped around the key. Just as it was about to draw the key into the space, the Paoxiao suddenly stopped moving.
The True Fire of the Phoenix seemed to freeze. It stiffly hid behind the Paoxiao's head and concealed itself as the Paoxiao turned its head.
The Paoxiao lowered its head again.
The True Fire of the Phoenix condensed into a thread, passed through the round hole on the key, and then whooshed into Yaohua's space.
The Paoxiao didn't seem to notice. It lowered its head and licked the juice in Yaohua's palm.
If she were to open the door at this moment, the Paoxiao might just be taken out by her...
An idea came to her.
Yaohua calmed down and used the True Fire of the Phoenix to transplant a flat peach tree from the space.
After rescuing Uncle Nanfeng from Cangyan Mountain, the system had rewarded her with another two - mu of land. Fortunately, she had planted two flat peach trees in the space later because she wanted to eat fresh peaches. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have known what to do.
The moment the flat peach tree was transplanted out, the Paoxiao seemed to be stunned for a moment. It stretched out its neck, sniffed the flat peach tree, and its hooves loosened a bit.
Taking this opportunity, a part of the True Fire of the Phoenix that Yaohua had secretly gathered immediately rushed towards the Paoxiao's eyes.
Although the Paoxiao was distracted for a moment, its reaction was extremely swift. It quickly lowered its head and opened its mouth, swallowing the flames that were originally meant to sneak - attack its eyes.
However, Yaohua's True Fire of the Phoenix didn't just target its eyes.
Bang!
After a loud noise, the Paoxiao let out a miserable whine, raised its two hooves, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The hooves on its back completely loosened, and Yaohua ran out from under them.
Just as she was about to transform into her original form and flee this place, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a touch of tender yellow on the Paoxiao's head!
Why was the little yellow chicken on the Paoxiao's head?
Yaohua was puzzled, and her movements hesitated.
She had brought the little yellow chicken here. Although she wasn't particularly willing, that was the fact.
She had brought the little yellow chicken here, and she should also take it out in the same way!
At this moment, the Paoxiao had already recovered from the pain of having its tongue cut. There was a raging anger burning in its beastly pupils, and the look it gave Yaohua didn't hide its killing intent at all.
Yaohua swallowed hard, and all her attention was on the little yellow chicken.
The little yellow chicken had its butt facing her direction, and its small head kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice. It seemed to be doing something.
Yaohua forced a smile at the Paoxiao, then immediately transformed into a streak of red light and swept over its head like lightning.
The Paoxiao's body suddenly swelled several times. At the same time, it opened its big mouth and bit the phoenix's tail.
A sharp pain came from behind, and the gorgeous feathers fell one after another.
Yaohua grabbed the little yellow chicken and stuffed it into her bosom with gritted teeth. "If you run around again, I'll leave you here!"
"Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!"
Yaohua looked back. The Paoxiao was billowing clouds and mist, chasing after her on the ground full of the remains of the gods. Her tail was now completely bald and looked extremely miserable.
If the Paoxiao bit her again, her tailbone might break.
A broken tailbone was a minor matter. She was just afraid that she wouldn't have the life to go back.
Seeing the Paoxiao getting closer and closer, Yaohua suddenly turned around and rushed straight towards its neck with the True Fire of the Phoenix.
The Paoxiao opened its mouth accordingly.
The only moves it could make were opening its mouth and kicking with its hooves. However, its hooves couldn't reach its neck, so it could only continue to open its injured mouth.
However, Yaohua's target wasn't its mouth.
The eyes were the most vulnerable part of the Paoxiao's body. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so vigilant when Yaohua pretended to poke its eyes.
Just as she was about to fall into the Paoxiao's mouth, Yaohua suddenly created two phantoms. Her body suddenly dropped, and the True Fire of the Phoenix was like a sharp knife, cutting through the Paoxiao's eyes.
Whine!
Suddenly, the Paoxiao's shrill scream pierced through the clouds. The tomb of the upper gods seemed to be collapsing. There was a rumbling sound, the heaven and the earth trembled at the same time, the dust on the bones on the ground shook off one after another, and the bones were smooth and fair, creaking as they moved.
Yaohua pressed down on the restless little yellow chicken in her bosom. When she landed on the ground, she almost fell over the bone frame beneath her.
"What's going on?"
Did the Paoxiao have some skills she didn't know about?
"The Paoxiao has been guarding here for who knows how many years. It has absorbed most of the remaining spiritual power from the gods who died here. Now it's probably going to use this spiritual power to drive these godly skeletons to kill you."
There was a bit of numbness in the system's voice, as if it was already used to such sudden situations.
"So what should we do now?"
"If you manage to get out alive, I won't take your forty - percent demonic energy. Consider it a reward for you."
The usually extremely stingy system was being so generous. It seemed that the situation was really serious.
Yaohua's heart sank.
She counted the magical tools in her space and picked up a suitable sword and weighed it.
Her master was the most powerful martial god in the three realms. Since her master was so powerful, when faced with such a rare situation today, she should face the difficulties head - on so as not to disgrace her master's reputation.
A fighting spirit welled up in her heart, and Yaohua suddenly laughed out loud.
"Okay. Since that's the case, for the sake of that forty - percent demonic energy, I have to give it my all."
The system rarely saw her being so serious. For a moment, it was at a loss for words.
"If you really can't defeat it... you can exchange all the demonic energy you'll obtain in the future with me. I can't guarantee anything, but I should be able to keep you alive."
"No need." Yaohua casually waved her long sword, and her delicate voice almost merged with the wind. "I will eventually fight side by side with my master. If I back down at the first sign of trouble, how can I be worthy of standing with my master?"
As she spoke, the sword in her hand, imbued with the True Fire of the Phoenix, instantly split the oncoming skeleton in two.
Sparks crackled on the sword's edge. In the glorious light, Yaohua's expression was cold as she pointed the sword at the Paoxiao from afar.
The little yellow chicken poked its head out of her bosom. Seeing countless skeletons rushing over, it immediately covered its head in fright and shrank back again.
Yaohua smiled faintly. Withstanding the remaining might of these gods, she split open the turbid sky with a single sword.
Amidst the Paoxiao's angry roars, the might pressed down on Yaohua like a huge mountain.
Yaohua stepped on a pile of severed skeletons. She couldn't help but be glad that the Paoxiao could only drive the skeletons of these gods and not their remaining souls. Otherwise, she would have been torn to pieces by now.
The skeletons kept pouring in. At first, Yaohua was amazed by their huge size, but from the beginning until now, the intense fighting spirit made her regard them all as wooden dummies in a trial.
If she could knock down all the wooden dummies, she could take the celestial orchid grass and go back to see her master.
The skeletons stood densely in the tomb. A red figure flitted about like a dancing butterfly, deftly dodging wave after wave of attacks. She waved the long sword in her hand, sometimes slashing and sometimes stabbing obliquely. Even if she was accidentally scratched by the spiritual power, she could recover in the shortest possible time.
The system had originally been a bit pessimistic, but now, seeing her wandering among the huge skeletons as if she were taking a leisurely stroll despite the great pressure, it began to secretly regret its decision.
