I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Xinghan suddenly opened his eyes and found that he seemed to have traveled through time, or was lost. He was clearly back to the original place, but the ground under his feet was so strange.

"Could it be that I came back again, but traveled through time?"

No, Xinghan looked around and did not find any modern buildings, which showed that he did not return to the modern world before the time travel.

"Where is this? Why am I here?"

He looked around; everything seemed so strange yet familiar.

This time, his perspective seemed different.

When he looked up, he saw a flash of golden light that made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Looking down, I saw golden scales under my feet as well, but the luster was not as dazzling.

It's like standing on a piece of gold.

"Did I fall into a pile of gold?!" Xinghan couldn't help but fantasize that if he fell into a golden house, a golden valley or a golden river, he would be willing to stay here for the rest of his life regardless of whether this fantasy world existed or not.

However, the golden scale moved slightly, and then a warm breath came over, making Xinghan realize that he was sitting on the back of a huge, seemingly sleeping creature.

"This...what is this?"

An inexplicable fear and curiosity surged in his heart.

The scales and fur of this giant beast are interwoven into a magnificent picture, and the light golden luster is faintly visible in the weak sunlight.

The long sleep left its body covered with thick dust, like an ancient mountain covered with a thick coat by the years.

The skin that reveals its true appearance also shines brightly in the dark, as bright as the sun.

"Wa Qu! Did I make a profit?!" Xing Han was struck by terror in his heart, but at the same time, he was also secretly grateful. If this was real gold and silver, how much would it be worth if he dug a piece of it...

While Xinghan was thinking about this, the giant beast let out a low and long roar, making Xinghan's eardrums buzz.

"Oh my god, that sound..."

He gripped his feet tightly, trying to steady himself.

Although he knew that the skin under his feet might be that of a giant beast, Xinghan also understood that the situation before him did not allow him to hesitate.

He calmed himself down and decided to use courtesy before force, to protect himself from injury first and then think about other things.

After all, the pain was on the big guy and he couldn't feel it.

"I'm sorry, big guy. Thanks for letting me."

Xinghan stretched out his hand carefully and grasped a piece of golden scale in front of him.

He pulled hard and the scale fell off easily.

The moment the scales left the giant beast's body, Xinghan felt the scales in his hands gradually change from being icy at first to being chilling to the bone.

It was as if holding a piece of jade just taken out of an ice cellar.

He looked down and was surprised to find that the scales had turned into pure gold in an instant, shining with dazzling light.

"Gold! This is gold! Is this..." Xinghan swallowed excitedly.

Xinghan was shocked, but then realized that this might be some special ability of the behemoth.

He quickly put the golden scale away, fearing that it would change again.

Although he knew that the skin under his feet might be that of some mysterious creature and pulling out the scales would be tantamount to skinning it, Xinghan's heart was filled with uncontrollable greed.

He took out the gold again, and a feeling of ecstasy surged in his heart.

"This... is this the legendary beast? If I can possess it, wouldn't that be..."

Xinghan's mind immediately popped up with the image of himself ruling the world, he fantasized that he could pull off a few more scales, or even turn the entire beast into gold, bring it back to the modern world before he crossed over, and become a wealthy man no one could match.

At this time, a smooth piece of skin was exposed where the scales fell off. The skin was as delicate and elastic as that of a newborn baby, and you could even see faint blood vessels flowing under the skin.

The giant beast seemed to be awakened by Xinghan's actions. It trembled slightly but did not get angry.

"Hey? The behemoth has a bad temper."

Xinghan was thinking that the giant beast might not care about one or two scales. After all, it had so many scales, and maybe they could grow more scales later.

After all, people won’t sigh over a few fallen hairs, and the giant beast shouldn’t be so stingy.

"I should take advantage of it to get some more wool while it's still in good spirits."

However, just as he was immersed in this wonderful fantasy, the giant beast suddenly let out a low and shocking laugh.

The laughter shook the surroundings like thunder, causing the land around Xinghan to begin to tremble, as if the entire earth was shaking.

He felt as if he were on a giant trampoline, bouncing up and down, with no control over his body.

Xinghan was shocked. He immediately realized that his greedy thoughts might have angered the giant beast. His heart tightened. He immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body and wanted to fly, but found that he could not use his spiritual power at this time.

He was surprised and knew that he was in danger.

He could only hold on tightly to the beast's skin and try his best to keep his body balance.

The giant beast's laughter gradually subsided, but its body continued to tremble.

Xinghan gritted his teeth and tried his best to grab the giant beast's skin, fearing that he would be thrown out if he was not careful.

Look at the skin again, tough and elastic, like a black velvet blanket, soft and warm.

He could even feel the beast's breathing, a deep and powerful rhythm that made his heartbeat quicken involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, Xinghan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was shocked to find that he was still rising, as if being pulled by an invisible force, quickly passing through layers of space.

The surrounding cliffs and steep peaks gradually receded, the hazy view disappeared, and everything in front became open.

He felt as if he was sitting on a helicopter, climbing higher and higher, exploring into the unknown.

The surrounding scene switched quickly like a slide show, suddenly jumping from the dark and depressing cave to the bright and vast sky.

The broken rocks under his feet were gradually replaced by faint green, just like being on a grassland at night. Every change unfolded like a picture scroll, full of mystery and surprise. He suddenly felt that the stars were moving. This feeling was very familiar to him, as if he had experienced it thousands of times before.

All these changes seem to be silently telling a secret that is about to be revealed——

A whole new world is waiting for him to discover.

Xinghan's heartbeat quickened, and his heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. Could this be a sign of the awakening of the mysterious power in the cave?

Sure enough, just as this thought emerged, Qingji's hurried and nervous voice came, breaking the silence around him:

"Sir, the cave entrance is just ahead!"
