Chapter 204 Chapter 209, The future is promising, White Camel Dragon Riders!
A blessed place, in Fangzhang Mountain.
On the hillside of the towering snow-capped peak, forty or so snow mulberry trees are scattered around, forming a small snow mulberry forest.
Although they were transplanted here not long ago, these snow mulberry trees, which originally grew very slowly, were short and thin, have already sprouted new branches and buds. The original leaves also appear more fresh and tender, giving people a feeling of vitality.
The snow silkworms on the snow mulberry trees were also much more lively and energetic than when they were in the Xingxiu Sea. They were no longer slow in chewing the mulberry leaves. Instead, each of them had a big appetite and ate very happily.
Xiao Longnu strolled in the forest, examining the snow mulberry trees and snow silkworms with Ouyang Feng.
She likes these plump white silkworms very much. She feels that she can stand under the tree and watch the silkworms eating mulberry leaves for a whole day.
"Do you like silkworms?"
"Yeah. They're cute."
"There will be more snow silkworms in the future. The blessed land is very suitable for the growth of snow mulberry and snow silkworms. I gave the 'Pray for Rain' technique from the 72 magics to Yukihime Liu Sheng. She can use this technique to bring down spiritual rain and help the growth of plants. Perhaps it won't be long before an endless snow mulberry forest will appear here. With enough snow mulberry trees, silkworms will reproduce quickly, and snow silkworms should also increase soon. Then, Long'er, you can collect silk, spin it, and make a precious garment that is invulnerable to swords and guns."
"I don't go out for a walk, so why would I need to make an invulnerable robe? Even if I go out occasionally, I have the ability to become invisible, so I am not afraid of anyone being able to hurt me. But you, who travel all the time, really need a robe."
“I don’t really need it.”
"Anyway, when I have enough snow silk, I will make you one... Hey, that silkworm seems a little different. It's a little too big."
"Those are ice silkworms. They are ancient relics and extremely cold spiritual creatures. They are extremely beneficial for practicing cold and cold skills. I thought they preferred snowy mountains, but I didn't expect them to run to the mountainside and hang out with the snow silkworms."
Ouyang Feng's tone was somewhat surprised.
The two ice silkworms not only ran into the mulberry forest and hung out with the snow silkworms, but also did not harm them. Instead, they happily ate mulberry leaves with the snow silkworms, looking like harmless babies.
Looking at the situation, his idea might really come true. The ice silkworms might really be able to reproduce into groups in the future, or he might obtain new species of silkworms.
The two ice silkworms are too few.
After all, in addition to Ouyang Feng, the ice silkworm is useful to Lin Chaoying, Lianxing, Yang Yuhuan, Xiaolongnu, and even Shan Wanjing who entered the Tao of Water. It can make the innate true qi of the water-based essence enter the Tao with an additional layer of icy changes.
Just two ice silkworms are not enough for so many people to practice.
However, if we can breed more ice silkworms, or a completely new species with yin and cold properties, in the future we can directly absorb the cold air from the ice silkworms for cultivation, or use it as the main ingredient for refining pills and medicines, which can effectively supply the cultivation of many people.
Silkworms grow and reproduce quickly.
In such an environment of paradise that is suitable for their growth and reproduction, it may not take long before they will reap a surprise.
I just don't know whether ice silkworms and snow silkworms need to spin cocoons and turn into butterflies before they can reproduce.
After all, they are all alien spiritual creatures, and their reproduction methods may be completely different from those of ordinary silkworms.
After seeing the ice silkworms and snow silkworms, Ouyang Feng took Xiaolongnu to see the Manggu red clam, which lived near a pond in a secluded valley and fed on various poisonous creatures.
The Manggu Red Halibut is certainly very useful, but I don't know whether it looks down on the toads in the paradise and whether it is willing to mate and reproduce with them.
Afterwards, the two went to a primitive forest and looked at the lightning marten playing with several minks. The lightning marten looked like a fish in water, and it was obvious that the wonderful life in the paradise was enough for it to forget its original owner.
After touring around Fangzhang Mountain for half a day, at dusk, the two found a clear pond surrounded by a bamboo forest. They sat by the pond, listening to the wind in the bamboo forest and enjoying the tranquility of the mountains.
Before I knew it, the moon was high in the sky and the sky was filled with stars.
Xiao Longnu took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her skirt, revealing half of her white calves, and dipped her snow-white, tender feet into the water. She gently swung her feet, creating ripples on the water, and looked up at the stars and the moon in the night sky, and asked:
"Are the stars and the moon in the sky fake?"
Ouyang Feng said:
"It's half true and half false. The sun, moon, and stars we see in the paradise are just projections of the sun and moon in the real world, but they have the functions of the real sun and moon. The growth of all things in the paradise, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, seasonal changes, tides... are all affected by them."
"It's really amazing. Could this paradise be created by gods?"
"Maybe……"
"What about you? Can you be considered a deity now?"
"Of course not. I am just a cultivator who has just embarked on the path of immortality. I am still far from becoming an immortal. Speaking of which, Long'er, you have actually already embarked on this path of immortality."
"The path to immortality? I don't have much feeling about it. For me, cultivation is just a habit I developed since childhood. Well, it can also be a fun thing."
As she said this, she glanced at Ouyang Feng lightly, her cheeks slightly flushed. It was obvious that this "interesting thing" specifically referred to practicing with him.
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"With your indifferent attitude, perhaps you can go further on this path."
After chatting for a while, Ouyang Feng suddenly stood up and jumped into the pool with a splash. The splashing water wet Xiaolongnu's dress.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Longnu's cheeks puffed up slightly and she looked at him angrily.
Ouyang Feng laughed, wiped the water off his face, stood in front of Xiaolongnu, grabbed one of her soft and delicate feet, played with it gently for a while, then raised his hand to hold her waist and carried her into the water.
"You got my clothes wet again!"
Xiao Longnu said this shyly, but when Ouyang Feng gently lifted her chin and leaned over to kiss her, she still unconsciously stood on tiptoe and greeted him.
Soon, pieces of clothing floated on the water. The cool and elegant fragrance of honey wafted from Xiaolongnu's flawless snow-white body under the moonlight, lingering over the water.
……
Main world, Ganzhou.
Ma Yue, Dong Yun and the other five tiger generals gathered at the Ganzhou government office and knelt down on one knee in front of Ouyang Feng who was writing something at his desk:
"Greetings, sir!"
"Get up."
Ouyang Feng responded, and only after he finished writing a document and handed it to the clerk waiting beside him did he stand up, look at the five most capable generals under his command, and say:
"Come with me."
When Ma Yue and others followed Ouyang Feng to the backyard, they saw the master's disciple Wang Wu, who was also waiting there in military uniform.
Wang Wu nodded kindly to Ma Yue, Dong Yun and others, and went over to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Ouyang Feng glanced at the six people, and without further ado, he summoned the phantom of the bronze gate, raised his hand and pushed it open, and said to the six people, "Go in."
The bronze gate that appeared out of nowhere, and the strangely shaped, towering stone forts after the bronze gate opened, shocked Wang Wu, Ma Yue and others.
But in their minds, Ouyang Feng was no different from a god.
Not to mention that behind the bronze gate was just a group of bizarrely shaped fortresses, even if it was a mountain of swords and a forest of guns, or a sea of fire in purgatory, as long as Ouyang Feng gave the order, they would rush forward without hesitation, without even frowning.
At that moment, Wang Wu took the lead and was the first to step into the bronze gate, followed by Ma Yue, and Dong Yun, Haitang and the other four tigers also entered one after another.
After the six people went in.
Ouyang Feng had just stepped into the bronze gate.
The place where everyone appeared was inside Dragon Castle, on the top of a tall castle building.
Standing here and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of most of Dragon Castle.
Wang Wu and others looked at the city buildings of varying heights and undulating shapes that did not resemble those in Middle-earth. They were shocked and confused, but they did not know what to ask Ouyang Feng.
"You have all heard some legends about immortals and gods, and you should all know about the term 'blessed land'."
Ouyang Feng did not hide it from them. He put his hands behind his back, looked at them, and said slowly:
"This is my own blessed land. You are all my most loyal disciples and subordinates, so I brought you here today to see it for yourself. In the future, you can all come here to practice when you are free. In the future, if you put aside worldly affairs and are not attached to the mundane world and are interested in the path of Taoism, you can also settle down here to practice."
His tone was calm and his expression was peaceful, but his words sounded like thunder to Wang Wu and others.
A continuously expanding heat suddenly rose up in everyone's chest, making their faces flush with excitement and their bodies tremble slightly.
But they were successful in their practice after all, and under the soothing influence of Ouyang Feng's peaceful and tranquil aura, they quickly controlled their emotions. Although their faces were still red, at least their bodies were stable and no longer shaking.
They also have many curiosities and doubts in their hearts.
But as the most loyal disciples and subordinates, Wang Wu, Ma Yue and others would not ask questions without permission.
In their opinion, their master (lord) will let them know what they should know.
And if they are not supposed to know, then they should not ask questions.
Seeing Wang Wu and the others calm down so quickly, Ouyang Feng could not help but nod with satisfaction and said:
"In addition, I have prepared a mount for each of you..."
As he spoke, he took out a horn and blew it softly.
After the low horn sounded, seven black shadows suddenly rose from the volcano behind Dragon Castle, rushed into the air, and flew towards the castle building where Ouyang Feng and others were.
Wang Wu and others initially thought that they were seven huge falcons.
But when the seven black shadows came closer and closer and were within their sight, they were shocked to realize that they were seven alien monsters that they had never seen before!
They have lizard-like heads with horns, and necks that are either slender or long and strong. They have a pair of broad bat-wing-like membrane wings on their shoulder ribs, their forelimbs are connected to the membrane wings, they have a pair of strong hind claws under their abdomen, and long tails of various shapes behind their buttocks.
Their bodies are covered with a layer of scales with a metallic luster, and the colors of the scales vary.
Some are as black as the night, some are gray-black, and some are dark red, silver-white, dark green, etc.
Seeing the surprise on Wang Wu and others' faces, Ouyang Feng calmly explained:
"That's a flying dragon. It's a fairly powerful beast with scales as tough as steel armor. It can easily tear apart an elephant with its huge strength, and it can also spit out flames that can melt gold and iron. They're not very smart, and if there's no one to command and control them, they'll have trouble distinguishing between friend and foe on the battlefield. So, you'll need to be riders to control them. If you use them well, it's not impossible for one dragon to capture a city."
As he spoke, seven flying dragons, including Ouyang Feng's "Black Yama", had already flown above the fortress, circling like vultures.
Looking at the seven flying dragons whose sizes were a little unexpected, Dong Yun couldn't help but say:
"Master, can these little guys really be ridden?"
That’s right, the seven flying dragons are still just little guys.
Even though Ouyang Feng often used the technique of "training birds" to promote their growth, they were still just cubs after all, having just hatched.
Therefore, even the "Black Flame", which hatched the earliest, had the "Tiantian Spirit Seed" to rely on, and grew the fastest, was only seven feet long from head to tail, with the neck and tail accounting for most of the length. Its torso was only as big as that of a goat, and it did not look like it could carry a person and fly.
As for the other six flying dragons, they were even smaller. Dong Yun felt that he could kill them all easily with one punch.
Ouyang Feng said:
"Don't be fooled by their small size now. They may seem easy to bully, but as long as they survive, they will continue to grow. The older they get, the bigger they will be. It's possible for them to grow to 40, 50, or even 60 or 70 meters long."
Dong Yun was stunned after hearing this. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if a huge monster forty, fifty, or even sixty or seventy feet long flew in the sky.
Ouyang Feng said again:
"Flying dragons have a long lifespan. If you fail to enter the Dao and die before them in the future, you won't be able to see them grow to such a gigantic size."
Flying dragons actually grow very fast. If there is enough food and the environment is suitable, they can grow to the point where they can carry people and fly, and can also fight on the battlefield in a few years. However, if they are too young, their scales are not hard enough to withstand strong bows and crossbows, and the temperature of the dragon flame is not high enough, so their lethality is quite limited.
Therefore, flying dragons that are too young, even if they are able to carry people and fly, generally will not be sent to the battlefield.
Of course, Ouyang Feng has the skill of "training birds", the environment of the blessed land is good, and the food is sufficient, which can greatly shorten the growth time of the flying dragons. At most in two or three years, this batch of flying dragons should be able to be put into the battlefield.
Just to grow to a size of forty to fifty, fifty to sixty feet, it would normally take one to two hundred years.
Even with the help of Ouyang Feng's "Bird Training" technique, except for Hei Yan who has the "Tiantian Spirit Seed" attached to him and can obtain the Tongtian Spirit Seed to strengthen his muscles and temper his body for a long time, other ordinary flying dragons will take at least hundreds of years to grow into giant flying dragons.
If they had not embarked on the path of Taoism and practiced to achieve immortality, Ma Yue, Dong Yun and the others would never have seen a real giant flying dragon.
After a brief explanation, Ouyang Feng raised his hand and Hei Yan led six young flying dragons to land on the tower.
Afterwards, Ouyang Feng asked Wang Wu and others to pick a flying dragon each. He took a drop of their blood, turned it into a talisman with the skill of taming birds, and then injected it into the heads of the flying dragons they chose.
By doing this, people like Wang Wu who do not have the blood of the Valyrian Dragon King family can also connect with the flying dragons' minds and become their recognized masters.
"The flying dragons still need to be kept in the blessed land for the time being. We don't need flying dragons to deal with Xixia. In your spare time, you can enter the blessed land, feed your own flying dragons, play with them, and practice hunting and fighting with them. When they grow big enough to carry you, you can try to ride the dragons and fly."
