Four Fiends and Four Spirits, Not Skilled at Water Control

Sure enough, when they talked about these ancient rumors, the hostility between the two women lessened considerably. Although Qingqiu Li still couldn't help but be arrogant in her words, she was no longer as Yin Yang and veiled as she had been towards Houtu before.

Houtu didn't provoke the proud Fox Ancestress any further, but instead listened to the story silently.

"In the era when Fierce Beasts ravaged the Primordial World, the strongest were naturally the Four Fiends and the Four Spirits. The Four Fiends were Hundun, Taotie, Taowu, and Qiongqi, while the Four Spirits were the four powerful beings who now guard the four poles of the Primordial World: the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North. Other races were either wiped out by the Four Fiends or forced to follow their banners due to their tyranny. Some beings with high intelligence gathered under the banners of the Four Spirits and were revered as divine beasts, corresponding to the Fierce Beasts. Ultimately, the Four Fiends and the Four Spirits waged endless war against each other..."

"That Myriad Crows Mountain was the site of the final battle between the Fierce Beasts under Hundun's command and the divine beasts under the Azure Dragon's command. It is said that in that battle, the Vermilion Bird suddenly left the southern battlefield and came to join forces with the Azure Dragon. Chaos King was caught off guard and died on the spot... When I transformed into human Transformation Form, the war of the Four Fiends was nearing its end. The Four Spirits had gone to guard the Four Extremes. The Four Fiends on the Primordial Land had gradually been replaced by the three newly risen Three Clans."

Wu Chu nodded thoughtfully, "I thought that in this era of rampant Fierce Beasts, someone had tamed Fierce Beasts all!"

Qingqiu Li chuckled and said, "Who has that kind of ability? To be honest, those Fierce Beasts are basically not very intelligent. They mostly act on instinct and are difficult to subdue. Many races were wiped out by the Four Fiends under such circumstances. It's not surprising that they were destroyed by the Four Spirits and replaced by the current Three Clans. In comparison, the current Three Clans are far more intelligent than those Fierce Beasts."

As she spoke, she glanced at Houtu and continued, "I went to investigate Myriad Crows Mountain. Deep underground there is a Yin Spring. The Yin Spring locks in the death energy, and the death energy and Yin energy give birth to those black crows. And those black crows have a special fondness for bones. They go out from time to time to collect those bones. The bones of those Fierce Beasts and divine beasts on the battlefield were all collected by them, and gradually they piled up into the White Bone Mountains stretches for thousands of miles."

Houtu nodded slightly and said, "I observed that the Myriad Crows coalesced into a giant crow, resembling a natural magic array. I am somewhat curious and would like to go and observe it. I believe there should be no great danger. Since you have already gone there to investigate, you must know what precautions to take."

At this moment, the two seemed to be acting like close sisters, calling each other "older sister" and "younger sister" repeatedly.

Qingqiu Li was taken aback, thinking: Why didn't I think of this before?

She quickly smiled again and said, "We don't need to worry too much about other places. Although the ten Myriad Crows can condense into a giant crow, their strength is actually only at the Taiyi Realm. What we really need to be careful of is the death energy mixed in with the pure Yin energy. That stuff is like a maggot clinging to a bone, difficult to shake off. If you're not careful, your physical body will easily turn into withered bones..."

Upon hearing Qingqiu Li's words, Wu Chu couldn't help but curse inwardly. He had never imagined that the White Bone Skeleton Mountain Range would be so dangerous.

Is Shiji really that powerful?

Oh, I almost forgot, it's said that she's a stone spirit.

The stone is not afraid of those yin and deathly energies, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

"Thank you for reminding me, sister! I'll remember!"

Houtu raised her wine cup and toasted Qingqiu Li.

Seeing this, Wu Chu inquired about the ancient legends surrounding these Fierce Beasts, saying, "Sister, tell me more, and I'll record the stories of these four ferocious beasts and the four spirits of our predecessors..."

Wu Chu has a habit of writing stories, which both women know. In fact, Qingqiu Li has even done things for him like a lover!

Therefore, Wu Chu's curiosity did not surprise them at all. They seemed completely unaware that Wu Chu was trying to divert their attention and prevent them from fighting again, using him as a tool to gain victory.

And so, the evening passed quietly amidst these whispered stories.

The next day, Houtu bid farewell to Qingqiu Li and even took the initiative to persuade Wu Chu to stay in Qingqiu so that the Fox Ancestress could teach him more supernatural powers and secret techniques, especially Illusion Technique.

Looking at this Miss Witch Ancestor was always thinking of him, Wu Chu was quite moved. The emotions that he had been suppressing inside him were about to burst forth.

So, Wu Chu couldn't help but hug her and said, "Have a safe journey, sister!"

Houtu was somewhat taken aback by Wu Chu's actions, but she didn't feel shy at all. Or rather, at this time, the creatures of the Primordial World rarely had any thoughts of love and romance.

Houtu at most felt that Wu Chu was somewhat reluctant to part with her, and would never have thought of anything romantic between them. Qingqiu Li, on the other hand, had a flicker in her eyes when she saw Wu Chu's action.

Houtu patted Wu Chu on the back, smiled gently, and said, "My tribe is right next to Purple Jade Mountain. We'll have many more opportunities to meet in the future, A Chu, there's no need for this."

Seeing Houtu's completely unashamed expression, Wu Chu smiled shyly, sighed inwardly, and said, "Sister is right! Well then, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye, Senior A Chu! Remember to come visit me in the tribe when you return!"

The Young Kua, standing not far away, waved to Wu Chu, then said to Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox behind Wu Chu, "Yueling, Xiao Yu, Xiaoyu! Remember to come visit our tribe sometime!"

"Oh, right, sister, this is for you!"

Wu Chu took out a bead and handed it to Houtu, saying, "This is Merfolk Pearl, which can repel water and dust. It also contains an Illusion Technique from the Dragon Clan. I don't know if you, sister, know Water-Controlling Divine Ability, but judging from how Xiao Kua couldn't swim the other day, you should take this with you!"

Houtu smiled, took the bead, and nodded, saying, "Then thank you A Chu. I'm not good at Water-Controlling Divine Ability anyway, so this will make things much easier."

Seeing Houtu accept his gift, Wu Chu smiled, then silently watched them walk out of the formation above Qingqiu and into the distance.

After leaving the Great Wilderness Marsh, the Young Kua at Houtu and asked with some curiosity, "Isn't the leader skilled in water manipulation? That day I saw the leader catch that hundred-foot-long fish with one hand..."

Houtu patted the Young Kua on the shoulder and said, "Go down below and use the Ground-Shrinking Technique Houtu travel faster! Take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the technique; it might save your life someday!"

Bang...

The Young Kua forcefully slammed down from the sky, his body crashing into the muddy ground of the forest below. He spat out the dry leaves in his mouth, looking up in confusion with a question mark on his face.

"..."
