Mission: Ride

"Tianming."

Long Xiao spoke softly, his tone immediately turning sarcastic:

"These Human Race are as arrogant as ever, like ants, yet they dare to claim the Tianming."

After saying that, Long Xiao asked again:

"Nephew Yang, this is a very important matter. Are you sure?"

Long Yang nodded:

"Pretty close."

"It's just a diversionary tactic. Besides, I've learned about Liu Tianming of the Liu Clan; he's indeed exceptionally capable. If we're talking about possibilities, he's the most likely candidate."

As he spoke, Long Yang looked at Long Xiao with curiosity:

"Third Uncle, are you going to..."

Long Xiao did not answer immediately, but simply shook his head slightly. After a long while, he slowly said:

"The four great Sacred Clan are no longer what they used to be. Now, all of our clans are seeking the path to our Atavism, but only the Black Tortoise Clan has achieved results..."

"Although this is an opportunity for our Sacred Clan to rise again, so many years have passed, and the treachery and deceit of the Human Race have long since infected all other races. The Holy Heart is no longer what it once was. I'm afraid the Black Tortoise Clan may not be willing to teach the Path of Atavism to other races."

Long Yang looked thoughtful:

"Human Race do seem to have this saying: 'True brothers share hardship, and face life and death together.'"

"So, what do we do now?" Long Yang asked.

"You stay here and watch."

Long Xiao said:

"I'm going back to call for the dragon."

"Human Race have seized the ancestral seed of Black Tortoise. As fellow Sacred Clan, our Dragon Race cannot stand idly by."

As the voice faded, Long Xiao took a step forward, revealing his true form, and tore through the void to depart.

Long Yang stood there, pondered for a moment, then slammed his hand down:

"Humans use this to their advantage, it's like having a legitimate reason to fight!"

After speaking, Long Yang looked towards the location of the Liu Clan, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"If my Dragon Race were to personally intervene, wouldn't Liu Tianming be able to...?"

He paused halfway through Long Yang sentence, glanced down, and his face darkened:

"No, damn it, I need to heal my wounds as soon as possible!!!"

Without the right tools, how can you handle a delicate task?

Hidden Origin Peak.

The two people and Black Tortoise had already returned to Hidden Origin Peak.

Brush.

As soon as he appeared, a flash of red light appeared, and Xiao Ming was standing in front of Black Tortoise.

A bird, a Black Tortoise, and three pairs of eyes staring at each other, each sizing the other up.

Finally, Xiao Ming spoke first:

"Come on, call me big brother!"

Before Black Tortoise could even speak, Lu Changzhi coughed lightly from the side.

Xiao Ming turned his head and glanced at it, then hesitated for a moment:

"That's called Second Brother!"

"Second Brother."

"Second Brother."

Two sounds followed in quick succession, causing Xiao Ming's eyes to widen slightly:

"It can talk so quickly?!"

Lu Changzhi didn't speak, but just looked at Xiao Ming with a smile.

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Wu looked puzzled.

They seemed puzzled, as if wondering what this curious matter was.

Soon, Xiao Ming turned his head away:

"Excellent, it meets the requirements of our Hidden Origin Peak."

After saying that, it spread its wings and walked away into the distance.

Qin Li seemed to sense something as well and came here.

His gaze fell on Black Tortoise, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally said:

"Master, this is..."

"Black Tortoise," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

"They seem somewhat different from the legendary Black Tortoise." Qin Li hesitated for a moment before voicing her doubts.

"Indeed." Lu Changzhi nodded.

"This is Black Tortoise that Atavism."

"Atavism."

Qin Li's pupils trembled slightly.

She was aware of the issue of Atavism.

In her previous life, the reason she was able to receive help from the White Tiger Clan was primarily due to her constitution.

Of course, it was only later that I learned that although it seemed like I was helping, the White Tiger Clan's initial plan was simply to use me as an experiment.

The purpose of this attempt was to find the way for the Sacred Clan to Atavism form.

From what she knew, not only the White Tiger Clan, but also the other three Sacred Clan, and even many Beast Race, were striving to Atavism.

But it seems none of them have succeeded.

However, judging from the current situation, Master's words seem rather casual.

Qin Li shook her head secretly.

But I myself am not quite calm enough.

After all, with the Black Tortoise egg in Master's hands, Atavism ancestral form might not be a difficult task for Master at all.

As Qin Li was thinking this, Mu Fan also ran over.

"So this is what Black Tortoise looks like?"

After curiously observing for a while, Mu Fan withdrew his gaze, looked at Gu Chen, then at Qin Li, and counted on his fingers, saying:

"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, hmm..."

"We're still missing the Vermilion Bird."

As he spoke, a thoughtful expression appeared on Mu Fan's face:

"The Vermilion Bird) should belong to the fire element, right? If that's the case, it might actually be quite suitable for me."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Mu Fan's system suddenly jolted.

Immediately afterwards, more information appeared on the system page.

"Wipe!"

Mu Fan couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath:

Why would someone bring something like that?

Now.

A new message has appeared in the system:

[Task Theme: Drive!]

[Mission Objective: Sign a contract with the Vermilion Bird and ride it into flight.]

[Mission Requirement: Survive.]

[Task duration: Six months.]

[Success Reward: None.]

[Failure penalty: Yes.]

"Hey, come out here and explain yourself!"

Mu Fan said:

"The last quest was still running for me, and now another one is coming?"

As he spoke, Mu Fan glanced at it again, and then spoke up in anger:

"Are you putting 'have' and 'not have' in the wrong order?"

At this moment, the chubby little system character resembling Mu Fan bounced out, saying in a childish voice:

"Didn't you used to wait for missions to appear all the time? Now you don't have to wait anymore."

"There's no need to wait."

Mu Fan snorted:

"Look at the mission requirements: stay alive. Is that something a human being can do?"

"My lord, the ruler is not human."

"Yes, that's right."

Mu Fan snorted, about to say something.

Suddenly, a section of the task information displayed by the system disappeared.

Mu Fan's expression shifted.

"That's not bad."

What disappeared was not the latest mission, but the content of the previous excavations.

"Judging from this, it should be finished."

"Based on last time's experience, we should wait a little while, and the reward will come."

Mu Fan was in a great mood.

Although the process can be challenging at times, it's all worth it as long as there's a reward.

"Master, we've gotten to know everyone quite well, so I'll head back now."

After leaving behind a single sentence, Mu Fan vanished in a flash.

"Master, I'm going back to cultivate too."

Gu Chen also clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Changzhi, and only left after Lu Changzhi nodded.

"Alright, the Black Tortoise matter can be considered resolved."

Looking at Black Tortoise, Lu Changzhi had a vague feeling that something was not right.

"It seems like something has been forgotten..."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi slapped his thigh:

"I knew it! We neglected the matter of bestowing the Emperor Conferment Chair!"
