The First Match Begins (2)
The Hogwarts Academy Champion were the first to enter, which was exactly what Su Yu had hoped for.
"Remember the precautions I gave you, be careful, and I wish you good luck!" Professor McGonagall said goodbye with reluctance.
Once all the members of the first team had arrived, they lined up and went inside. Yousu Yu kept muttering something to himself, raised a finger slightly, and then went in.
Then came the other academies. After all the students from the eight academies had gone inside, eight images began to appear on the giant canvas, showing the situation of the Champion from each academy.
"Is this the world described in the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas?"
When Ka-jie opened her eyes, what she saw was a continuous range of mountains, majestic and steep, with rock walls so straight they looked as if they had been carved by man.
The mountains are covered with ancient, vigorous pines, and the sound of the wind blowing through them is like the rustling of leaves.
The stream flows gently down the valley, and the bottom of the stream is scattered with warm and beautiful jade, which gleams softly in the sunlight.
The forest is overgrown with vegetation, and strange beasts can be seen roaming among it from time to time. The entire mountain wilderness is vast and desolate, exuding a primitive and ancient atmosphere.
"My God, this is so beautiful!" Pansy walked to the stream, picked up a piece of jade, held it in her hand, and couldn't put it down.
"Do you have a general idea of where we are right now, Su Yu?" Ka-jie turned around and asked Su Yu, who was looking around.
"Don't worry, I'm checking too. Just wait for the news, if I'm not mistaken." Su Yu had actually done everything he needed to do; now all that was left was one final confirmation.
A moment later, a piece of paper fell from the sky. Kurama leaped up, caught it, and placed it in Su Yu's hand. After Su Yu unfolded it and saw the contents, he smiled. It was done!
"Last night my dad did tell me a lot about the Map of Mountains and Seas, so before I came in today, I changed the randomly generated destination to a specified destination. That's why I'm waiting—I'm waiting for the mission assignment. Look!"
As he spoke, Su Yu handed the paper with the mission written on it to everyone.
"I chose the first chapter of the Classic of Mountains and Seas Classic of the Southern Mountains. It's not dangerous, and the resources here are relatively abundant, which suits us perfectly. The objective of this mission is to obtain the scales of the Dragon-bodied Human-faced God, so it just so happens that the Dragon-bodied Human-faced God is recorded in the Classic of the Southern Mountains."
"What about those Japanese devils? Don't tell me you didn't tamper with things, I don't believe you." Fa-jie felt those people were disgusting, so she couldn't forget them.
"Don't worry, if everything goes smoothly here, they should be near the Northern Sea, close to the Ghost Kingdom. Their mission is probably to collect the fur of the 'Cuiquan' (蜯犬). Great demons can't be mission targets, so I chose the 'Cuiquan'."
"Um... Chief, could you explain this to us? What is all this? We don't understand anything..." Malfoy felt dizzy and couldn't understand a single word.
"Oh, to put it simply, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is divided into five chapters on the Mountain Path and thirteen chapters on the Classic of Seas," Su Yu began to explain the contents of the Classic of Mountains and Seas of Mountains and Seas to everyone. "The Mountain Path is the central area of this secret realm, while the Classic of Seas covers some places overseas. We are currently in the southern part of the central area. According to the book, there are forty mountains, 23 kinds of strange beasts and divine creatures, and 3 mountain gods here. Among them, the rarest and strongest are the Phoenix and the Nine-Tailed Fox."
"Phoenix and Nine-Tailed Fox? Like Fawkes and Kurama Fox?" When Harry heard the Phoenix," the first thing that came to mind was Headmaster Dumbledore's Fawkes.
"That's not how it is. The myths of East University are different from those of the West. The Phoenix of East University is said to have a chicken's head, a snake's neck, a swallow's chin, a tortoise's back, and a fish's tail. It has five-colored feathers, and it will not perch on anything but the parasol tree, nor will it eat anything but the fruit of the parasol tree. It is extremely picky and extremely rare to see. But when it appears, it means either peace will prevail in the world or a sage will be born."
"While the Phoenix of the West is known as the Immortal Bird at East University, it is said to be reborn from the ashes every 500 years, its tears can cure terminal illnesses, and its songs give people courage."
"That's the fundamental difference. Similarly, they're not even on the same level. The same goes for the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tailed Fox in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas lives in Green Hill Country. It is skilled in bewitching and can transform into a beautiful woman. It was recorded as an auspicious omen in the Han Dynasty, but was changed to a demon in the Nine-Tailed Fox Dynasty. It is said that in the nine-tailed fox clan, the royal family may even become Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox, who is all-powerful and has boundless magical power, equivalent to a god. Logically speaking, the Kurama is biased towards the Eight Million Gods on the Japanese side."
"You're talking about the Japanese. What's the situation there?" Fa-jie couldn't stand hearing about the Japanese; she reacted strongly to the word. Su Yu had no choice but to pull her into his arms and continue explaining, "The situation there is a bit complicated. The Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas and Northern Classic of Regions Within the Seas of the Seas Within, records that north of the ' Corpse of Erfu,' the people there have human faces but only one eye. The surrounding area is a gloomy wilderness, withered bones, and black mist. It's never sunny; it's like Hell on earth."
"That's eerie enough, but what's even more dangerous is their target, Tao Dog 'Táo Quǎn,' which is near the Ghost Country. Although they look like ordinary dogs, all blue, don't underestimate them. They often travel in packs, are extremely powerful, and like to eat people, starting from the head."
"Ugh... How disgusting..." Callis shook her head. "This secret realm has such a terrifying place?"
"That's considered good. Near the Ghost Country, there are also Ring Dog Tafei, all of which like to eat people and are extremely ferocious. But it's fortunate that we can't go to the area of the Great Demons. Further north of the Ghost Country is the territory of Qiongqi, and to the east is the Corpse of Erfu. To the northeast, there are also jiǎo. Compared to these, even if Headmaster Dumbledore came, he would become food..."
Everyone exhaled sharply, silently praying for the Japanese soldiers to all return alive. After all, if they were all wiped out here, who would they kill when they got back? This was only the first match!
"Alright, let's pack up and set off. While it's still early, let's find a place to rest. Although there aren't any major dangers along the southern path, we still need to be careful. If we encounter a boar or Gudiao, they sometimes eat people."
Su Yu picked up Kurama first, took out a compass, and headed south. If they wanted to find the Dragon-bodied Human-faced God located in the Third Classic of the Southern Mountains, heading south was the right way!
(Let me explain here. Since none of you have offered any suggestions, and I didn't know what to choose, I happened to be watching a video where Yang Jian and his two traitors traveled to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. I also happen to have a Classic of Mountains and Seas at home, so I just decided to write about Classic of Mountains and Seas.)
I've set the first and third levels in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The first level is a challenge, and the third level is a free-for-all. I haven't decided on the second level yet; I'll think about it later.
However, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is too vast. If I were to write about each mountain in the book one by one, it would take until next year. So I've shortened the journey and reduced the number of mountains and rivers, so that everyone can see all sorts of "Fantastic Beasts" from the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas while also enjoying the fun.
I won't go into the exciting parts, because honestly, anyone who's read the Classic of Mountains and Classic of Mountains and Seas wouldn't go to the dangerous places in it. Besides, the book even explains how to deal with all those strange beasts and mountain gods—what happens if you eat them, how to perform sacrifices, how to raise your favorability. And the creatures in the Classic of the Southern Mountains aren't particularly ferocious. To actually fight a mountain god would be utterly stupid; the instructions are practically shoved in your face. You can't just play however you want! Unless you go to the Japanese side, then I really can't help you. That place is truly dangerous; even if I read the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Seas to pieces, I can't save you. I can only say, "Take care, have a safe journey..."
