Chapter 130: A Divine Beasts Aid (1/2)

Zhen Hong retrieved the plate and cluelessly pocketed it back.

The chariot fell back into silence, and they just continued flying through the sky.

Soon enough, the sun was the jewel in the sky, and it was noon.

Fortunately, a colossal and snowy mountain range flaunted its size below us.

”It's here, let's land on the outskirts, I'll try to remember the way,” Zhen Hong informed them.

Alex nodded and slowed down the chariot.

The flying tool began a slow landing.

The mountains weren't a barren wasteland but instead had thick, autumnal forestry.

”I'll use my yin qi detection talisman,” Zhen Hong took out a rectangular piece of paper.

Unlike the ones Ma Xuefeng used, the inscriptions on this one were more elaborate and complex.

However, it did not glow in the slightest.

The young man clicked his tongue, and lamented, ”We need to delve further into the forest.”

Delving further into the forest, they sure did.

Nevertheless, no matter which direction they went to, the talisman stayed as dark as usual.

”Junior Disciple Hong, are you sure you even detected yin qi in this forest...?” The sect leader had an annoyed face.

Zhen Hong stuttered, but he nodded fervently, ”I-i am sure it was close to h-here!”

Following that, they attempted to go in other directions and walked endlessly throughout the thick woodlands.

However, there were still no results.

By this point, Zhen Hong's face had lost all hope.

Even Alex, who was usually excited to visit new locations, was starting to feel quite frustrated.

Liuxian cleared his throat, and proposed, ”Perhaps, the yin qi has been concealed by the ghost king? We don't know anything about this enemy, they could very well have this ability as a protective instinct.”

The sect leader harrumphed and replied, ”That would better be the case..”

Zhen Hong and the sect leader began a staring contest.

Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted this tension.

*Cackle*

*Cackle*

A small creature was picking up seeds below its feet with its beak.

Alex looked down and found out that it was a...

”Hen?” He said out loud.

A yellow beak, a white body, and red feathers near its small head.

He caressed the hen, and unexpectedly, the three other immediately stepped back a few dozen steps.

”What's wrong?” Alex was confused, and his wide, heterochromatic eyes clearly showed that.

Zhen Hong coughed, and replied, ”Look at its tail, that is not a hen...but a-

”Pheonix cub!” Liuxian exclaimed.

Alex followed their line of sight and perceived that the 'hen' had a small tail that was on fire.

”It might be a phoenix, but it's only a few days old as its appearance suggests, it will die if not taken back to its mother.” The sect leader calmly stated.

”How do we find the mother of a divine beast, then, do we ask it?” Alex jokingly proposed.

Surprisingly, Liuxian nodded.

”Phoenixes are very intelligent, but lack the vocal cord structure to speak human language, this one shouldn't be any different.”

Alex still didn't think there would be a way to communicate with it.

Unless...

Alex placed his finger on the phoenix cub's head and channeled his Faith Energy.

'Link'

Miraculously, the phoenix cub felt the connection and approved.
