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

Su Xiaoya saw this scene through her spiritual sense and felt a little relieved, but the doubts in her heart grew deeper and deeper.

Her spiritual sense followed the roots of the hibiscus tree into the seabed. She originally thought that she would only see ordinary sea mud and rocks, but the scene before her stunned her - the seabed was not pitch black, but was covered by a layer of faint golden light. Many strange plants grew on the ground, some of which were fiery red, and some were crystal clear, emitting rich spiritual energy.

What surprised her even more was that there were many colorful stones scattered on the ground. Those stones contained powerful energy. They were the legendary five-colored magic stones that were born from the power of drought!

Colorful stones!

The strange stone that Nuwa used to repair the sky!

Monkey King jumped out of the colorful stone.

Su Xiaoya was dumbfounded.

"There's also red fire copper and flaming crystal iron!" Su Xiaoya's eyes flickered with surprise as her consciousness swept across a pile of rocks. She saw a mass of dark red metal embedded in the rocks, emitting a scorching heat. These metals were perfect materials for refining fire-attributed magical weapons.

When she explored the seabed before, she only paid attention to the trunk of the hibiscus tree and ignored the root area. She didn't expect that there was a different world here!

What shocked her even more was that at the deepest part of the seabed, there stood an ancient altar.

The altar is built of black rock and is engraved with mysterious runes. Those runes exude an ancient atmosphere, as if they contain the secret of summoning the power of nature.

The altar is surrounded by a circle of hot springs. The spring water is a light golden color and exudes a healing atmosphere. It is said that the hot springs can cure all diseases and make people rejuvenate. It seems that this is not an empty promise!

"No, I have to go and see it myself!" Su Xiaoya could no longer suppress her curiosity and immediately contacted Yu Shuheng.

At this time, Yu Shuheng was paying attention to the dragon team exploring another secret place in the East China Sea, because he was friends with Long Yunmang.

The key point is that the team composition brought by Long Yunmang this time is really weird - one third young dragons, one third teenage dragons, and one third baby dragons.

Just watching, Yu Shuheng felt a headache for Long Yunmang, so he had to help watch over him more.

Speaking of which, when they first came to the East China Sea for training, Yu Shuheng specifically asked Long Yunmang to help take care of the Su family.

Long Yunmang did not disappoint Yu Shuheng's trust. He not only helped protect the Su family, but also took the initiative to take Su Mingxian and others to the East China Sea near Funiu Mountain for training.

Su Mingxian's "Nine Transformations of the Hegemonic Body Art" was obtained when Long Yunmang took him to explore the ancient cave.

Afterwards, Long Yunmang brought some dragon clan members to join the Su family's inner sect, took charge of the Beast Taming Peak, and taught the Su family's members the art of beast taming.

Therefore, this time the Su family obtained Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain and Tang Valley, and had a foothold in the East China Sea, and naturally gave the dragon clan thirty expedition quotas.

After receiving the news from Su Xiaoya, Yu Shuheng immediately sent a message to Long Yunmang and gave him a few instructions before rushing over.

After the two met up, they didn't waste any time and dived directly to the bottom of the Tanggu Sea, heading straight towards the ancient altar.

The golden light on the seabed became more and more intense, those strange plants swayed gently around them, and the light emitted by the colorful magic stone illuminated the surroundings.

As Su Xiaoya walked, she collected the colorful divine stones and red fire copper on the ground. These materials were of great use to both the Witch Clan and the Su family.

Yu Shuheng observed his surroundings. His gaze fell on those strange plants, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "These plants contain rich Bing Fire power, yet they can grow in seawater. It's really strange. It seems that the environment on the seabed of Tanggu is even more special than we imagined."

Soon, the two arrived in front of the ancient altar. The altar was ten feet tall, and the runes on it seemed to come alive, slowly flowing under the golden light.

Su Xiaoya stretched out her hand and gently touched the rune on the altar. An ancient power instantly surged into her body, causing her body to tremble slightly.

"These runes... seem to be the ancient runes of the witch clan, but they're also somewhat different." She frowned, carefully observing the rune patterns. "They also seem to contain the power of the demon clan. Could it be that this altar was built by both the witch and the lich clans?"

Yu Shuheng also moved closer to the altar and observed it carefully. "It's hard to say. But what is certain is that this altar possesses great power. Those runes are probably used to summon the power of nature."

Although Yu Shuheng had the World Tree inheritance, he had only unlocked it bit by bit, which was no different from chicken ribs. Anyway, Yu Shuheng had thrown half of it away. After all, hindsight is really worthless.

Therefore, as for the relationship between the witches and demons, Yu Shuheng, like Su Xiaoya, only roughly knew about the witch-demon catastrophe, but he was not clear about other details.

"If we can crack the secret of these runes, we may be able to know the real reason why the evil energy has invaded the East China Sea." Yu Shuheng guessed, staring closely at the changes in these runes, trying to crack the mystery.

At this moment, Su Xiaoya's consciousness suddenly sensed a familiar breath - Gui Jiangye and the others had arrived!

She looked up at the entrance of the altar and saw Gui Jiangye and the witch tribe team walking towards them, with surprise and curiosity on everyone's face.

"Master Su? Master Yu? Why are you here?" When Gui Jiangye saw the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Su Xiaoya smiled and pointed at the altar. "We realized this altar was unusual, so we followed the roots of the hibiscus tree down. It seems the secrets beneath the Tang Valley seabed are even more mysterious than we imagined."

Gui Jiangye walked to the altar and looked at the runes on it, his eyes flashing with excitement. "These runes... some of them are ancient runes of our Wu clan! I didn't expect to see them here! If we can decipher these runes, perhaps we can find a way to enhance the Wu clan's strength, or even restore the glory of the Wu clan in the past!"

Uh!

Su Xiaoya couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. Wasn't Gui Jiangye getting too excited too early? He himself said that only part of it was the Wu Clan rune. What about the rest?

However, Su Xiaoya did not interrupt the enthusiasm of Gui Jiangye and the others.

People cannot teach others, but things can teach them once.

The Wu Clan gathered around the altar, their faces filled with anticipation. They knew that behind this altar, there must be a huge secret hidden.

Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng looked at each other and understood in their hearts that Tanggu’s secret was just the beginning, and what they would face next might be an even bigger secret.

The East China Sea is really not peaceful.

No wonder the Sea God was so polite to them. Even when the divine bird gave Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain and Tang Valley to the Su family, the Sea God and his men did not take any action.

The water in the East China Sea is so deep!

The runes on the altar were still flowing slowly, the spring water was rippling gently, and the light emitted by the colorful magic stone illuminated the seabed.

While Su Xiaoya was thinking, she used her spiritual sense to interpret the altar runes.

Suddenly, the black rock beneath Su Xiaoya's feet trembled violently. The hot springs surrounding the altar surged, and golden water splashed onto the runes, like fuel meeting an open flame, instantly causing the flowing lines to burst into a dazzling light.

Su Xiaoya subconsciously grabbed Yu Shuheng's sleeve, but saw that there was no panic in the other party's eyes. Instead, he stared at the crack that suddenly appeared in the center of the altar - the crack was not deep and dark, but was flowing with a scorching red light that was completely different from the golden light on the seabed.

"Be careful!" As soon as Yu Shuheng finished speaking, a huge mysterious formation suddenly appeared above the altar.

The runes on the edge of the formation were completely different from the witch runes Su Xiaoya had seen before. They carried an older and more domineering aura, like some kind of ancient heritage that was superior to both the witch and lich races.

Before she could think about it, a powerful suction force came from the center of the formation. She felt as if her body was grasped by an invisible big hand, and she and Yu Shuheng were suddenly pulled into the formation.

The sound of the wind in my ears was instantly replaced by a scorching air current, and the originally warm smell of sea water disappeared without a trace, replaced by a heat wave that hit me in the face and almost scorched my lungs.

Su Xiaoya suddenly opened her eyes and found that she and Yu Shuheng were the only ones floating above an endless expanse of lava. Gui Jiangye and the others had obviously not come in.

Yes!

We don’t know what danger is waiting for us now. It’s a good thing that the witch team didn’t come in.

Even if she and Yu Shuheng could not crack the secret of this secret realm, they could always find a way to protect themselves and escape safely.

Without any worries, Su Xiaoya relaxed and began to look around carefully.

Under your feet is red-gold magma with bubbles rolling around. Occasionally, huge rocks float up from the magma, but are quickly swallowed up again.

Above their heads was a dark dome dyed red by the fire, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur mixed with some strange grass and trees.

Yu Shuheng steadied his body and formed a light blue spiritual power barrier at his fingertips, isolating the surrounding heat waves.

He looked around, and his gaze finally fell on a stone platform not far away that was suspended above the magma - on that stone platform, there was a hibiscus tree that was exactly the same as the one on the bottom of the Tanggu Sea!

On the stone platform were engraved six golden characters: "Secret Realm of the Golden Crow Flame".

"Is this... the 'Golden Crow Flame Secret Realm'?" Yu Shuheng felt a little dizzy and couldn't help but look at Su Xiaoya. "Aren't there Wu Clan runes outside? How is it related to the Golden Crow of the Demon Clan?"

Su Xiaoya raised her eyebrows slightly and replied with an expression that said "what do you think?" Yu Shuheng couldn't help but smile. He was also crazy. Su Xiaoya came in with him, so how could he know the reason?

Both of them looked at the stone platform at the same time - the hibiscus tree on it!

This hibiscus tree exuded an aura of ancient simplicity, even more so than the one on the sea. Its thick trunk required three people to embrace it, and its bark was a deep crimson, as if cast from molten iron.

The leaves of the hibiscus tree are not the usual emerald green, but instead have a faint golden glow. Tiny flames linger around the edges of each leaf, as if a gust of wind could ignite a raging fire.

What shocked Su Xiaoya the most was that the hibiscus tree had hibiscus flowers blooming like blazing flames on all the branches, big and small, but on the highest branch, there was a bare golden egg that was half a person's height!

This golden egg is a mixture of gold and red all over, and its surface is covered with flame patterns similar to the edges of hibiscus leaves. Occasionally, a golden halo overflows from the patterns and falls into the magma below, calming the boiling magma instantly.

Before Su Xiaoya could recover from this strange sight, the mysterious bead given to him by the divine bird suddenly flew out.

When the divine bird gave her this bead, she had tried countless methods but could not find out its origin, so Su Xiaoya did not plan to make a contract with it. After all, for something of unknown origin, who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse after the contract?

However, this mysterious bead now seemed to have found its home and flew straight towards the golden and red giant egg.

The trajectory of the flying beads left a string of golden light spots along the way. Those light spots fell on the magma and condensed into a short light path out of thin air.

Before Su Xiaoya could reach out to stop it, the mysterious bead had already firmly stuck to the surface of the giant egg, and then slowly penetrated into the egg like a drop of water merging into the sea.

Uh!

"This is……"

Su Xiaoya's pupils suddenly shrank. She could clearly feel that the moment the bead merged into the giant egg, an invisible connection suddenly appeared between her and the egg.

That connection was not the witchcraft contract she was familiar with, nor was it the essence and blood contract commonly used by the demon clan, but a more fundamental and closer bond, like a pull extending from the depths of the blood.

Su Xiaoya frowned and subconsciously activated the witch clan's mental method, trying to cut off this sudden connection, but found that the bond had taken root in her soul like a sprout.

These things from the witch clan and the demon clan are really too evil.

The Wu Clan was fine, they were now allies, and very close allies at that. It wasn't an exaggeration to say they lived and died together.

After all, not only did Su Xiaoya inherit the power of Pangu, but more than 70% of the Su family members inherited the witch clan's heritage. Their cultivation had made rapid progress under the dedicated teaching of the "Axe of Creation" and the ancestors of the witch clan.

In short, half of the Wu clan is still their own people.

However, apart from their friendship with Ji Meng, one of the ten great demon generals, they were really unfamiliar with the demon clan.

Whether it is the Nine-tailed Fox of Qingqiu or the Nine-tailed Fox of Tushan, it seems that they have little connection with the Demon Emperor Di Jun and the Demon King Donghuang Taiyi of the Demon Clan.

At least, along the way, Bai Yiyi and Tushan Xiaoya had no connection with the demon clan, and never mentioned the words "Demon Emperor" or "Demon King".

Therefore, the demon tribe is unfamiliar to Su Xiaoya and her group, and they have no connections with them.

The gift of the mysterious beads by the divine bird is nothing more than an exchange of interests.

After all, the divine bird gave the Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain Fairy Island to Su Xiaoya, and Su Xiaoya also took on the responsibility of protecting the East China Sea.

Su Xiaoya felt a little uneasy about having to make a contract with an egg for no apparent reason.

The unknown is what is scary!

Just when Su Xiaoya was struggling, a piece of unfamiliar information flooded into her mind like a tide - it was the inherited memory of the "Three-legged Golden Crow", the original information of the divine bird clan that controlled the true fire of the sun in ancient times.

"Three-legged golden crow..." Su Xiaoya muttered to herself, her face full of confusion.

She had lived for so many years, and had only seen records about the three-legged golden crow in the ancient books of the witch clan. Legend had it that it was an ancient mythical beast on par with the dragon clan and the phoenix, controlling the purest fire power in the world. It had disappeared as early as the war between witches and liches.

In fact, the War between the Lich and the Warlock is closely related to Tanggu. Is the Golden Crow the sun, or the divine bird that drives the sun?
