Heaven-defying Phoenix

0The afternoon sun was like a ball of fire, causing Blacky to feel as if his entire skin was about to be dried.    

    

It lowered its head and glanced at Jiu Muli who was still sleeping soundly in the dark cave, and muttered to itself, "Master, master, if you still don't wake up, I'll turn into a dried up corpse outside."    

    

As if he had heard Blacky's words, Jiu Muli's eyelids twitched, and before long, Jiu Muli's eyes opened.    

    

Jiu Muli wanted to stretch her body, but the hole she dug was too narrow, let alone stretching her body, she couldn't even flip over.    

    

But Jiu Muli was obviously not aware of this, she raised her arms, touching the walls of the cave, immediately getting rid of a lot of soil.    

    

The soil fell down, landing on Jiu Muli's hair, smashing into his face, some even seeping into his clothes.    

    

"Master, you're awake?" Blacky heard everything clearly and quickly moved to the side. The glaring sunlight shined into the hole.    

    

Because the burrow was dug diagonally, the sunlight that shined on the entrance of the burrow did not directly fall on Jiu Muli's body.    

    

Looking at the bright sunlight, Jiu Muli realized that he might have slept for a little too long.    

    

"How long have I been asleep?"    

    

"A little over eight hours."    

    

When Jiu Muli crawled out from the cave, she looked extremely pathetic. Her hair was in a mess and her body, face and hands were covered in mud and blood stains.    

    

Fortunately, before Jiu Muli fainted yesterday, the pill that she had swallowed had worked. In six hours time, the wounds on Jiu Muli's body had completely healed.    

    

Jiu Muli patted the dust off of her body. Her current appearance was simply too dirty, which made Jiu Muli very uncomfortable.    

    

"Master, where should we go next?"    

    

"Find a pond and let me wash it properly."    

    

There were many big and small ponds in Abyssal Devil Pool, and after Jiu Muli walked for a little more than an incense worth of time, he found a small patch of reeds that had a very small pond hidden inside.    

    

The pool was not big, and was only the size of two houses. Jiu Muli tested the waters, and found that they were neither deep nor shallow. When Jiu Muli walked in, the deepest part of the water had just reached Jiu Muli's neck.    

    

In this kind of small pond, it was impossible for any demonic beast to exist. At most, there would be a few small fish and shrimp.    

    

Jiu Muli walked into the pond wearing dirty clothes, the reeds outside the pond were just in time to cover his figure, unless someone pushed away the reeds, they would never be able to notice the beautiful woman bathing in the pond.    

    

The water in the pond extended past Jiu Muli's chest, and only then did Jiu Muli begin to remove her dirty clothes that were washed up by the water, she also took off her hair.    

    

Inside the hole, there was too much dirt falling onto Jiu Muli's hair.    

    

After washing her hair, Jiu Muli put her beautiful black hair on top of her head and started to clean her body.    

    

The warm pool water dripped down Jiu Muli's body, it was extremely refreshing and comfortable.    

    

After Jiu Muli carefully and carefully washed his body clean, she found a new set of clothes to put on before she fished out the dirty clothes that floated on the surface of the water. After cleaning up, she wrung out the water and used a bamboo pole to hang it.    

    

The weather was very dry, the sun was very hot and Jiu Muli's clothes were thin.    

    

While drying clothes, Jiu Muli picked a large piece of reed leaf and washed the dirt off the reed leaf, then used the reed leaf to scoop some clean water into his mouth to moisten his throat.    

    

Blacky also picked a piece of reed leaf like Jiu Muli did. It tried to scoop up water using Jiu Muli's method, but this was too difficult for Blacky.    

    

After tormenting himself for two or three times, and still unable to put the water in his mouth, Blacky simply threw the reed leaf into his mouth, and directly lied on the surface of the water, gulping down the water.    

    

Over sixteen hours, although Jiu Muli had rested well, Blacky's mental state was still extremely tense.    

    

The Blacky was very tired, so tired that when it was drinking water, it lost gravity and fell into the pond.    

    

Jiu Muli quickly scooped up Blacky, who had already closed his eyes.    

    

Jiu Muli sighed helplessly. Well, this guy fell asleep again.    

    

First, Jiu Muli set Blacky on the side to bask in the sun. She took a kettle and filled the bottle of water in the air, and when her clothes were mostly dry, Jiu Muli put away the kettle and the clothes, and continued on his journey with Blacky.    

    

Blacky was already asleep, it was unknown when he would wake up. After yesterday's battle with the Rhinoceros, Jiu Muli realized that it would still be a little difficult for her to go against the demonic beast of the Abyssal Devil Pool by herself.    

    

Thinking about that demonic beast, Jiu Muli couldn't help but admire that messy man she met yesterday.    

    

He had wandered in the Abyssal Devil Pool for thirty years and in those thirty years, he had already used up all his energy, even his own sword was broken, but he did not give up.    

    

In these thirty years, he did not know how many demonic beast he had met in the Abyssal Devil Pool, or how many times he had wandered between life and death. It was unknown if it was due to luck or some other reason, but this man had continued to persevere on!    

    

It was luck, but it was also strength.    

    

Jiu Muli admired him, but that was only because of him.    

    

He had stayed in the Abyssal Devil Pool for thirty years. Even if he had been stuck in there for so long, he was still unwilling to leave. Wasn't it all because of the great fortune in the Abyssal Devil Pool?    

    

Jiu Muli did not know what kind of opportunity the Abyssal Devil Pool had, but no one had mentioned it to her before. Everyone just said that there was a big opportunity here, and only those who had a chance could obtain this kind of opportunity.    

    

Jiu Muli did not know if it was an inheritance or a treasure.    

    

The mysterious fortune within the Abyssal Devil Pool made Jiu Muli very curious, but Jiu Muli did not intend to look for it intentionally.    

    

Her goal in coming to the Abyssal Devil Pool at the start was to find Jiu Xuanling, and maybe Jiu Muli would waste his time searching for Jiu Xuanling in order to gain experience, but Jiu Muli would not reverse the situation.    

    

Searching for Jiu Xuanling was a common occurrence, looking for opportunities was an end, training was something he brought along on the way to find Jiu Xuanling.    

    

Even so, he didn't know where the people who sacrificed their lives to Demon Emperor were. Jiu Muli wanted to find out the whereabouts of Jiu Xuanling as soon as possible, and right now, the best way to do so was to head towards the central region of Abyssal Devil Pool.    

    

According to what that man said, most of the people who came to the Abyssal Devil Pool to explore were all gathered in the central region, and only a few would be like him, wandering around the Abyssal Devil Pool. If Jiu Muli wanted to look for someone, the central region was the most suitable for him.    

    

The central region of Abyssal Devil Pool was very easy to find. In the central region, there was a huge stone tablet.
