230 MYTHICAL BEASTS (1/2)
”Where are we now Long Fuzi???”
Chan Gu asked after some time. Since Long Fuzi had arrived a couple of minutes prior to them, he directed his question to him.
”I believed we are now somewhere around the outskirts of the Rhapsody Swamp.”
”Even I can come up with that same deduction, myself. Isn't it a given that we are somewhere along the outskirts of Rhapsody Swamp since we just have been teleported outside of it just a while ago.”
Long Yue said to his brother.
”HEHEHE. That is exactly what I'm trying to say. I am also not too sure about our current location either.”
”From the current looks of it, we were probably teleported at the west wing portal. According to the books, Rhapsody Swamp has four exits in total.”
Fan Lei said as he observed the place around them.
Tall mahogany trees covered the area. It stretched upward going heaven-bound. Its altitude was so high that it almost looked as if it will just about to kiss the clouds above them.
The viridescent view of the sea of trees sways as it dances with the wind every time that the wintry breeze blows.
The crips sound of the leaves as well the gentle whistling of the birds as they sing to each other creates a perfect harmony that brings the melodious sound of nature.
Just like what Fan Lei said, the exit to Rhapsody Swamp is divided into four portals.
The ones leading at the west wing portal is connected to a luxuriant dense forest. Which they were currently at.
The other three portals also had their own distinctive features. Such as the water-bound north wing. Where the vast blue sea that extends to the horizon where the other worlds meet can be seen.
The south wing portal with its ever so active volcanoes that spits molten rocks in almost every minute.
A river of lava that never dries up flows to its land while a thick blanket of ashes covered the area just like how the snows covered the grounds during winter.
The east wing portal is connected to an exit that will bring one to a relatively high place. So high above the ground that one will be given a chance to witness the sea of clouds. If one will look straight ahead of them.
Each of the sections of the Rhapsody Swamp exits is also assigned to a mythological creature, collectively known as the Four Symbols.
These creatures are the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Black Tortoise of the North, and the Vermillion Bird of the South.
”How are we going to travel to the Long Kingdom from here???”
Mu Lingxi asked the main problem. Since they have not yet to reach their true destination, hey still have to travel for quite a distance.
But the problem is how are they going to travel from here to there???
It is not as if they could hail a cab or book a taxi through Grab here. Mu Lingxi thought to herself as she waited to her friend's request.
”We shall use our spiritual beast then.”
When Mu Lingxi heard Chan Gu's words she was initially surprised. So far she had never seen her friends summon their spiritual beasts.
To the point that she almost forgot about it. But that is to be expected. Because in this world, once a man or a woman reached the age of thirteen they will be given a chance to sign a contract with a magical beast of their own.
A talented individual will definitely gain the blessing of heavens and will be bestowed with a powerful magical beast to sign with.
In fact, it was for this same reason why Mu Yanxiao was able to bully the previous owner of her body. Because Mu Yanxiao was able to sign a contract with a magical beast at the early age of thirteen.
Showing how good and talented young miss she was. Everyone was full of praises towards this young lady of the Mu Clan.
