Chapter 309: The Vermillion Bird's Consciousness (1)
"Congratulations, you've triggered the hidden quest 'The Divine Beasts' Salvation. (Trigger condition: Be above Level 110, possess the Vermillion Bird's blood, and own at least one Divine Beast.)"
"Quest: 'The Divine Beasts' Salvation – Rescue the Divine Beast, Vermillion Bird (0/1). Will you accept this quest? Yes/No."
"Yes."
After Shen Jingbin accepted the quest, Xu Sheng's red lips moved as she continued, "I'll lay down a formation in a bit and send you into the Vermillion Bird's consciousness. Your mission is to eliminate all the evil spirits afflicting its mind. Beware: these evil spirits have grown over the years and are night and day from how they used to be. Be on your guard at all times."
Right after she finished speaking, Quiet And Steadfast's expression darkened. "Wait, are you saying that she'll be going alone?"
Xu Sheng gave him a questioning look and nodded. "Mm."
"No, we're going with her," came Quiet And Steadfast emphatic refusal.
The others chimed in as well and echoed his sentiment.
"Yeah. How can we let Nutty go on her own? Count us in!" The Winds of Ximen said.
"It's far too dangerous to go alone. If possible, allow us to accompany her," Pure Crane added.
"Although my DPS isn't enough, I've brought lots of healing and cleansing potions. They should be able to provide some help, at least," Qi Mu said.
"I too think it's better for us to stick together at a time like this," Gentle Flower said.
Xu Sheng gave a helpless sigh when she saw the insistent looks on everyone's faces.
"I'm not trying to stop you guys from going along with her, but you have to understand that she's delving into the consciousness of a Divine Beast. This isn't a place that just anyone can enter. She's only able to do so because she possesses the Vermillion Bird's blood, and she has the presence of a Divine Beast on her person. If that wasn't the case, why do you think I'd be guarding the Vermillion Bird for all these years without doing a single thing?"
