The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

The sea breeze suddenly blew up, blowing up the strands of hair on Su Xiaoya's forehead. Yu Shuheng and Yu Wenxuan behind her simultaneously grasped the magic weapons at their waists. The auras of the three of them instantly intertwined, forming an invisible defensive barrier.

In the direction of Tanggu, the originally misty water vapor suddenly twisted, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the surrounding air become stagnant.

The next moment, there was a loud "hum" and a golden light column as thick as a bucket suddenly shot up into the sky from the depths of Tanggu. A fiery halo wrapped around the periphery of the light column, dyeing the entire sea area a dazzling golden red.

Immediately afterwards, a divine bird with a wingspan of three meters broke through the light and emerged. Its feathers were burning like molten red gold, and tiny golden flames danced on the tip of each feather.

As the divine bird flapped its wings, a powerful masculine force rushed towards them, causing Su Xiaoya and the other two to subconsciously use their spiritual power to resist. Even the meridians in their bodies felt warm and numb.

"Cry!" The divine bird raised its head and let out a high-pitched cry. The sound was not like that of an ordinary bird. Instead, it had the clearness of metal colliding with stone. Wherever the sound waves reached, the calm sea surface instantly rose into huge waves several feet high. The waves hit the rocks, making a loud "boom" sound.

Deep under the sea, several huge sea beasts were startled by this and floated to the surface, flapping their huge tails.

These sea beasts stared at the burning divine bird in the sky with eyes as big as copper bells, their pupils filled with confusion and bewilderment. This aura filled them with both instinctive awe and a sense of inexplicable familiarity. Then, as if waking from a dream, these sea beasts all bowed their heads.

Su Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat as she gazed at the familiar silhouette of the divine bird. Those flaming wings and that sacred aura—it was clearly the same divine bird that had given her the mysterious bead!

But at that time it was as small as a bird, but now it is so powerful, like a god that controls the yang energy of heaven and earth.

However, for Su Xiaoya, this incident was neither unexpected nor unsurprising.

After all, the Fusang tree is the companion tree of the Three-legged Golden Crow. And the Three-legged Golden Crow, not to mention its black feathers that resemble black brocade, is highly recognizable just by its iconic third leg.

The divine bird circled and landed on the reef in front of the three people. Its feathers, like golden flames, slowly dimmed their light, revealing its warm eyes.

The divine bird turned its head, its gaze sweeping over Su Xiaoya and the other two, and suddenly spoke, its voice as clear as a human's, with a touch of gentleness: "Have you all settled down properly in Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain?"

Su Xiaoya suppressed her surprise - the divine bird was extraordinary in that it could send out mysterious beads containing mysterious spiritual power, so it was reasonable that it could speak human language.

Just like Xuanmu Taoist, who cultivated for millions of years and became a world tree, he still couldn't transform. However, speaking human language was too easy.

Even if the soul transforms into a human and travels around the entire Qingyuan Star, it is not a problem.

However, it seems that his soul can only move freely within the three realms shrouded by the power of the World Tree. No matter what it transforms into, it cannot leave the scope of the World Tree.

Su Xiaoya stepped forward and nodded slightly. "Thank you for the protection of the divine bird. We have already settled down on the island and the teleportation array has been set up. I will never forget this gift."

After a pause, Su Xiaoya raised her eyes and looked directly at the divine bird, her gaze frank and open: "Since the divine bird has appeared, it must not just be asking about resettlement. If you have any orders, please let me know, and I will not refuse."

Su Xiaoya took on this cause and effect directly in her own name and was unwilling to involve the Su family and friends.

The moment the divine bird appeared, Su Xiaoya had made up her mind.

Nieyaowumi Mountain is rich in spiritual energy and has no other forces entrenched there. It is unreasonable for such an "ownerless fairy island" to exist.

After all, Su Xiaoya had witnessed and experienced firsthand the power of the Sea God and the Sea Clan. She didn't believe the Sea Clan would ignore a sacred mountain like Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain, not to mention the magical Tang Valley.

The only explanation is that this place has belonged to the divine bird in front of us from the beginning to the end.

This shows how powerful this divine bird is.

A flicker of approval flashed in the divine bird's eyes, and it nodded gently. "You are indeed intelligent. Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain is a gathering place for spirits, but due to a strange change in the seabed, an evil aura overflows every three months, eroding the island's plants and vegetation. If this continues, the island will soon be devoured."

Speaking of this, the divine bird felt a little heavy in its heart. But...

Suppressing his thoughts, the divine bird told Su Xiaoya his plan, his tone particularly serious: "I need to go to the far north to deal with a hidden danger left over from ancient times. I can no longer guard here."

The divine bird's gaze rested on Su Xiaoya, filled with trust. "You are both courageous and resourceful, and you possess a heart of great compassion. You have come to the East China Sea twice to help the Nine-Tailed Fox recover its ancestral land of Qingqiu. I knew you were the most suitable candidate. Today, I would like to entrust you with the important task of protecting this island!"

"Protecting Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain?" Yu Shuheng couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.

This is no small matter. Once accepted, the Su family will have to confront the unknown evil energy head-on. If they are not careful, they will be in danger of being wiped out.

After all, this is a problem that even the powerful divine bird cannot solve, which shows how difficult it is.

However, if the Su family wants to gain a foothold in the East China Sea, they must agree to this matter.

This is the Su family's only legitimate chance to become the master of Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain.

catch?

Still not answering?

What a dilemma!

Su Xiaoya's heart also trembled, and her fingertips unconsciously clenched the mysterious bead in her palm. The bead gave her a warm touch, as if giving her strength.

She took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping across Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain and Tanggu behind her, finally returning to the divine bird. She spoke firmly, "Don't worry, divine bird. Now that I've accepted Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain, I won't let it suffer any more disasters."

After a pause, Su Xiaoya sincerely asked the divine bird, "But, what exactly are the characteristics of this evil energy? And how can we completely eradicate it?"

A look of helplessness flashed across the divine bird's eyes. "If I had known, I would have found a way to destroy it long ago. I can only sense that the evil energy comes from Guixu."

"Guixu?" Yu Wenyu couldn't help but exclaim! Even if she was ignorant, she knew what Guixu meant.

"Yes! These evil spirits are the scattered power of Guixu." The divine bird explained helplessly, "But, I cannot explore Guixu."

Afraid that Su Xiaoya would misunderstand and think he was setting a trap for her, the divine bird slowly explained, "The bead in your hand is the 'Flame Sun Bead', which can dispel some evil spirits and protect the safety of the tribe."

"You only need to lead the Su family to plant Yang-attributed spiritual plants such as 'Red Sun Grass' and 'Fire Spirit Flower' on the island. Use the vitality and Yang energy of the spiritual plants to build a barrier, which will temporarily suppress the spread of evil energy."

"'Red Sun Grass', 'Fire Spirit Flower'?" Su Xiaoya asked in confusion.

She didn't want to ask the system in front of the Divine Bird. The Divine Bird even knew everything about their trip to the East China Sea, which showed how powerful it was. Therefore, Su Xiaoya wouldn't risk revealing her cards.

"Yes! I have placed all the seeds in the 'Ten Sun Market', you can go and get them when the time comes." The divine bird explained.

After a pause, the divine bird's voice deepened. "If I fail to return within three months, it will mean I have perished. At that time, the responsibility of protecting the Yanyang Fire of Tang Valley and the Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain will be entirely in your hands."

Su Xiaoya's heart trembled, and she nodded solemnly: "The divine bird has said this, Su Xiaoya has taken note. Whether you return or not, I will protect this land."

A satisfied light flashed in the eyes of the divine bird. It flapped its wings and flew up, circling over the three people's heads. A few golden feathers fell down and turned into streams of light, merging into the Yanyang Pearl in Su Xiaoya's hand. The pearl instantly became more dazzling.

Then, the divine bird let out a long cry and flew towards the sky. Its figure quickly disappeared into the clouds, leaving only the masculine scent lingering in the air.

"Sure enough, this fairy island has always been the territory of the divine bird." Yu Wenyu murmured, his tone full of emotion. Of course, he also meant to remind Su Xiaoya.

Su Xiaoya gripped the Flame Sun Pearl tightly and turned to face Yu Shuheng and Yu Wenzhangyu. A resolute smile crossed her face. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Now that I've found a place to stay, I naturally have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. From today on, protecting Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain is my responsibility."

"The most urgent task right now is to arrange for Su Xiaoya's people to come here." Yu Shuheng immediately calmed down and analyzed, "The three of us can't do everything ourselves."

After a pause, Yu Shuheng spoke: "We must go all out to uncover the secrets hidden in Guixu and eradicate them completely without leaving any hidden dangers."

"Yes, sooner or later we will have to leave Qingyuan Star, and we must eliminate all hidden dangers." Yu Wenyu immediately responded. This was the first time he clearly expressed his determination to follow in Su Xiaoya's footsteps.

"Okay, let's quickly dispatch members of the tribe who are good at growing spiritual plants and setting up formations from Funiu Mountain so we can work together."

"That's right," Yu Wenjian agreed. "The teleportation array has been built. We'll return to Funiu Mountain today to connect to the teleportation array there. We'll then select fifty elite members of our tribe and send them over. Within three days, we'll have everything back on track!"

"Then I'll stay here in case anything unexpected happens." Yu Wenjianyu knew that he would be of no help if he returned to the Funiu Mountains, so it would be better for him to stay in Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain so that Su Xiaoya would have no worries.
