Chapter 87 Gloomy
They took it as Zhou Li joking.
Seeing that Xu Xian didn't say anything, Zhou Li complained a couple of times and the two continued on their way.
When you arrive at the Sun Mountain scenic area, you should definitely visit Sun Mountain.
Sun City is very big.
Xu Xian and Zhou Li simply rented two small black cars.
Perhaps because they were getting closer to Sun Mountain, the further they went in, the more intense the heat in the air became.
Later on, it felt like being in a sauna.
There are hardly any tourists here anymore.
Most of the tourists were also beast tamers, bringing their own spirit beasts.
Needless to say, they are all fire-attribute spirit beasts.
One or two of them made no attempt to hide their actions and found a place to train their spirit beasts.
Just like the exclusive area for beast tamers set up in the Misty River and the Great Sea.
The only difference is that one is free and the other charges an entrance fee.
Xu Xian and Zhou Li felt the intense heat on their bodies, and sweat beaded on their foreheads.
Keep up the pace.
I arrived at the foot of Sun Mountain in no time after riding the little black car.
Sun Mountain's shape is not much different from that of an ordinary volcano.
Even dormant volcanoes, where there is no billowing black smoke from the crater and no spewing lava.
Xu Xian and Zhou Li scanned their tickets and entered the cable car under the guidance of the staff.
The light on Sun Mountain was not very bright at night.
Looking towards Taiyang Mountain, one always feels a dark and eerie atmosphere pervading the view.
We soon reached the top of Sun Mountain, under various protective measures.
They even wore special heat-protective clothing before Xu Xian and Zhou Licai got off the cable car to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery.
Sun Mountain is not high, only 312 meters at most.
There are many places in Fog City that are taller and more majestic than it.
Xu Xian approached the edge of the railing and looked down at the ancient city.
The neon lights at night create a unique scene.
He took out his phone and started snapping photos.
Behind him, Zhou Li glanced at the scenery but didn't pay any attention.
It's not very interesting for him.
The big-faced person looked towards the crater.
Thanks to the special heat-insulating suits provided by the staff, even though the heat was intense in the dark and deep Sun Mountain Pass, I didn't feel the heat.
"It is said that a divine bird descended to earth to save the world. In fact, it was a severely injured legendary fire-attribute spirit beast that smashed the mountain peak and was discovered by the people at the time. They mistakenly believed it to be a god and worshipped it, offering their meager food and medicine. However, the Nine-Eyed Radiant Crow also protected the people at that time, which can be considered as returning the favor."
Zhou Li recited the description of this historical record in a low voice.
He may have average grades, but he knows everything he needs to know.
Moreover, the two historical periods of Wucheng, Taiyang Mountain and Wujiang Dahai, are the most popular historical events promoted to the outside world.
Anyone with a little knowledge can get the gist of it.
"That's the official statement." A voice suddenly appeared.
Zhou Li flicked his wrist to the right.
Not far away were staff members, as well as several beast tamers and their fire-attribute spirit beasts.
The spirit beasts looked cheerful in this environment, while the one speaking was a middle-aged man standing under a sky covered with dark clouds.
Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly because they were looking down, Zhou Li still recognized them. "It's you."
"We meet again." The middle-aged man chuckled with an enigmatic air.
Zhou Li crossed his arms. "You say what I'm saying is for external communication, but what about internal communication?"
The middle-aged man said, "Why don't you take a look for yourself?"
"Huh?" Zhou Li was taken aback.
Why don't you listen to what you're saying!
Take a look, look at that mural.
What's so interesting about that?
I was speechless.
But in the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man who had just been speaking had vanished without a sound.
Zhou Li was completely stunned.
"Brother Li! Brother Li!"
A familiar voice reached my ears, and a hand waved back and forth in front of me.
It's Xu Xian.
Xu Xian saw Zhou Li standing there, staring blankly at the dark and deep Sun Mountain Pass, motionless.
"Is this thing really that good-looking?" Xu Xian glanced inside.
Even though it wasn't hot or cold, a strange chill crept into my whole body.
Xu Xian shuddered.
"Brother Xian, this place feels weird. Let's stop looking and go." Zhou Li came back to his senses, his fear growing uncontrollably.
Xu Xian also felt that the place was inexplicably eerie.
He nodded and said, "Let's go straight to the training area and see how our luck is. If it doesn't work out, we'll leave."
As soon as the words were spoken...
The two immediately returned to the cable car, greeted the staff, and headed down the mountain.
Not long after.
The two took off their heat-insulating suits and embraced the sweltering environment again.
The eerie feeling that had been lingering in my heart vanished instantly.
They all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon reaching the summit of Taiyang Mountain, a strange and unsettling pressure suddenly arose.
Xu Xian was alright, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Li kept glancing left and right.
"Is your neck uncomfortable?" Xu Xian asked, noticing Zhou Li twisting his head from side to side.
Zhou Li thought for a moment.
Although the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared twice before behaved strangely, he was otherwise quite normal.
There was a shadow beneath me, and someone on the mountaintop was wearing a heat-insulating suit.
Perhaps I'm overthinking it.
After scratching his head and thinking about it, Zhou Li said, "That's true to some extent."
Xu Xian was speechless upon hearing this, and said, "If you want to twist, get off the bike and twist. Riding a bike is too unsafe."
They both ride little black cars now.
During their conversation, the two soon arrived at a place with a sign that read "Mist City Sun Mountain Spirit Beast Breeding Area".
Because this place is close to Sun Mountain, the sweltering heat still made Xu Xian and Zhou Li sweat profusely even at night.
Take out your ticket and scan the QR code to enter.
Just inside the gate.
Four tourists, one male and one female, blocked the way.
Or rather, they weren't blocking the road, but rather queuing.
A staff member nearby said, "Please stand in pairs and don't crowd together."
Xu Xian and Zhou Li waited behind.
The rule in the Sun Mountain Spirit Beast Breeding Area is that two people work in a group, and each group has fifteen minutes to "trick" the spirit beasts inside into "eloping" with them.
Xu Xian and Zhou Li were in front of the four people, which took about half an hour.
With nothing to do, Xu Xian opened the Lingyu App and entered the live stream room of Wawa's top-ranked frog junior in the national server.
He had deliberately turned off the sound, but as soon as he entered the live stream, he saw a screen full of passionate interactions.
Of course, there were also the gifts sent by the guys who were having fun.
Zhou Li wasn't interested in the live stream; he was scrolling through short videos and asking, "How's Wawa's live stream going? How's Fugui doing?"
Xu Xian watched as the live streamers racked their brains to utter yin and yang and vulgar words, and the kind administrator who joined in and exchanged greetings with Wawa.
In short, the live stream was very lively, with the number of viewers reaching 600, and small gifts popping up from time to time.
"Live streaming is great, especially for Fugui..." Xu Xian glanced at Wawa, whose mouth was open but no sound could be heard, but it was clearly croaking. The golden-armored beast Fugui beside him had excited and thrilled eyes.
"This child seems to be having a lot of fun playing the game."
"That's fine. You can have Vawado take care of it and not bully it! Give it a few more heads or something," Zhou Li said.
"Don't worry," Xu Xian said.
Vawa is much better at this than I am.
After defeating his opponent in the game, he typed wildly and then made sure the Golden Armor Beast got some "soup" too. He also proceeded to verbally abuse another player in his queue, and then interacted with the viewers in real time.
Xu Xian looked at the attribute panel of Wawa displayed by the Beast Taming Pearl.
Suddenly, he noticed that the skill "Taunt" flashed in the skill list.
