Chapter 324 Let's take turns provoking each other.
Zhong Lingxin rubbed her forehead.
She knew that her friends would cause trouble without her.
After hearing it so many times, she couldn't help but worry about her friends.
At this moment, everyone in the inner circle, whether celestial beasts or immortals, was searching for these little guys, wanting to either form a contract with them or kill them to seize their bloodline.
Fortunately, the little guys are clever; they shoot and then move on to a different spot, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and there is no pattern to their movements.
So far, no one has discovered their whereabouts.
Following the thread of connection in her heart, Zhong Lingxin headed towards her friends.
As she walked, she frowned.
Those guys are so brave! They're just a few kids, yet they split into three groups.
Led by Huanhuan, followed by Ping An'an and the Soul-Slaying Sword.
Yueyue led the way, followed by Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, Xiaoxiao, and Fenghuangqin.
The last group was led by Lele and her team, Ice Flame.
Of the three teams, Lele's team was the most well-behaved, mostly keeping quiet.
The two teams of friends were competing to see who could be the most mischievous.
Zhong Lingxin could even sense Huanhuan telling Pingping and An'an that the path they walked on should not be overgrown with weeds, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.
Pingping and An'an nodded enthusiastically in agreement. They were standing in front of a high mountain, discussing how to lure the white-necked owls out of the mountain and steal their eggs to cook.
Zhong Lingxin shook her head. Fighting is fine, there's nothing wrong with getting some experience, but there's really no need to eat someone else's bird eggs.
The five-colored rats in the Nine-Story Pagoda are named as follows: the male rat is named Zhong Lingxia, nicknamed Huahua; the female rat is named Zhong Linghui, nicknamed Duoduo.
They chose this name themselves, and their friends respected their opinion.
When Hua Hua heard Zhong Lingxin asking him about the white-necked owl in the space, he quickly replied, "The white-necked owl is the natural enemy of us rodents. Although I have never been to the inner perimeter, I have heard of their great reputation."
According to the legends of the mythical beasts in the secret realm, the white-necked owl, though not large, is not the most powerful of the mythical beasts.
However, the mythical beasts in the secret realm are not very willing to provoke it.
This guy is just too vengeful.
Moreover, they are masters of concealment; it is said that their innate ability is invisibility. They always take advantage of the night to silently fly up to you and strike with their claws, making it impossible to defend against.
Zhong Lingxin nodded, "That's how it's described in 'The Book of Immortal Beasts' too."
Is the population of white-necked owls large?
"It's not that big. I've heard other fairy birds talk about it, and it seems like there are one or two hundred of them."
Master, you're not planning to get into a fight with the white-necked owl, are you?
Although they are only third-tier celestial beasts, their ability to occupy a mountain peak within the inner perimeter is still extremely impressive.
"Yes, I heard there's a fifth-tier celestial beast, the Giant-Toothed Tiger, in the inner area. If the White-necked Owl can take over a hilltop, its strength must be quite impressive."
“Master, the White-necked Owl’s invisibility ability is impossible to defend against. I heard that the Megalodon was almost blinded by a White-necked Owl.”
I've heard that when the white-necked owl hides, it's not even afraid of intimidation.
Megalodon ultimately had to swallow his anger.
"Master, if you want to deal with the white-necked owl, fire might be effective."
Zhong Lingxin nodded; what Hua Hua said made sense.
Moreover, after talking with Hua Hua, Zhong Lingxin discovered one of Hua Hua's characteristics: she only offered advice and didn't say anything else.
After talking with Zhong Lingxin, Hua Hua returned to the time array to cultivate.
It sensed that it was about to break through the bottleneck of a first-tier immortal beast and become a second-tier immortal beast.
It glanced at Duoduo, who was cultivating in another time array, and thought about the rules of the Nine-Layered Pagoda that Peach Blossom had told it.
Each member can go outside to obtain resources, but they must share half of the resources with their master. The master is also responsible for all the resources needed for their members' cultivation.
The information it provided to its master brought him a celestial vein. I wonder how much of it the master will share with him?
This immortal vein only provides information; it cannot be considered a resource he acquired.
He didn't want much more, as long as his master could help Duoduo improve her bloodline and help her advance to the second-tier immortal beast.
The owner should agree, right?
Actually, even without Hua Hua saying anything, Zhong Lingxin was already considering improving Duo Duo's bloodline.
She will do her best to provide cultivation resources for all her companions who enter her Nine-Tiered Tower.
The first level of the Nine-Story Pagoda is planted with Phoenix Lotus, which is a good thing for purifying bloodlines.
However, the first level is spiritual energy, and Hua Hua and Duo Duo have been somewhat reserved since entering the Nine-Level Tower, not daring to run around. Also, because their level is too low, they have been burying themselves in their cultivation.
They probably don't know about the Phoenix Lotus yet.
Pingping and An'an, who were far away, finally launched an attack on the white-necked owl.
In fact, the white-necked owl had already noticed Pingping and An'an when they first stopped at the foot of the mountain.
These two have become too famous lately, having wreaked havoc on several celestial beasts in the inner area.
When the white-necked owl saw Pingping and An'an, it began searching for Huanhuan and the Soul-Slaying Sword.
But Huanhuan and the Soul-Slaying Sword were now covered in invisibility talismans and hiding under a cliff to count their spoils.
At the same time, Huanhuan felt that she had fought too many battles in the past year, and her immortal essence had increased rapidly. She had already touched the bottleneck of a third-tier divine beast and was trying to break through it.
For over a year, she had been keeping a close eye on Yueyue's news, fearing that Yueyue would break through before her.
Similarly, Yueyue was also keeping a close eye on Huanhuan's news.
Last time, they couldn't say for sure who broke through to the second tier first, and both pinned their hopes of winning first place on advancing to the third tier, determined to determine who was better when they advanced to the third tier.
Zhong Lingxin got closer and sensed Huanhuan's thoughts, but just smiled faintly.
She really hopes her colleagues will all get promoted soon.
The white-necked owl on the high peak, unable to contain its anger at Pingping and An'an's provocation, cooed a few times and then let out a sharp whistle, as if to drive Pingping and An'an away.
The sharp whistles rose and fell, shaking the leaves on the entire peak and making them rustle.
Pingping and An'an whispered to each other, "It seems we really angered the White-necked Owl, so much so that it even had to use sonic attacks."
"The white-necked owl has three great magical abilities: invisibility, sonic attacks, and swift strikes. Invisibility is usually more effective when combined with moonlight, but now that it's broad daylight, we need to be wary of their swift strikes."
"Okay, let's take turns and keep provoking them. Let's get the allure going, or we'll end up getting our eyes gouged out by their claws before we've even had a chance to provoke them twice. That wouldn't be worth it."
"Okay, I'll keep yelling. Activate your charm."
"Here it comes, here it comes! Oh my god, it swung its claw straight at my eye."
Pingping and An'an simultaneously raised their claws, swinging their four claws in a wide arc, and a huge "phantom cage" enveloped the flying white-necked owls.
When the purple light appeared in front of it, the white-necked owl quickly dodged to the sides, shrieked, and continued to swing its claws, creating a sharp gust of wind, aiming for Pingping and An'an's heads.
Pingping and An'an connected their tails and formed a huge defensive shield around themselves, first covering themselves, and at the same time raising their little paws to unleash two explosive talismans.
