The ancient snail also raised bamboo slips from its back, covering the surrounding and upper and lower walls.
The black shadow, whose retreat routes were blocked, stood there in surprise, and soon launched a new attack on the ancient sword leopard.
The Red Lotus Armored Cavalry, who had come to his senses, brought Jiang Xiuya to Wanqi Kang and Qian Lao, who were protected by the Cang Yan Blade Ghost, and continued to open the protective shield just in case.
Although it would only take a moment for the black shadow to break through the protective shield with its combat power, this time was enough for the ancient sword leopards to react.
Hua Jianming was also protected by Gu Jianwo in the bamboo slips, watching the battle quietly.
Although the two elves, Black Shadow, Ancient Sword Leopard and Ancient Jade Fish, had mutually restrained attributes, they still fought back and forth for a long time.
Sombra's [Absorbing Fist] and Gu Jianwo's support for his teammates with [Green Grass Field] and [Parasitic Seed] were the reasons for this extremely long battle.
After an unknown amount of time, the black shadow, which was unable to defeat four hands with two fists, finally began to show signs of fatigue.
"what time is it now?"
Wanqi Kang, who had been on edge, finally stopped his observation and looked at Jiang Xiuya with some fatigue.
Jiang Xiuya handed the food to Mr. Qian and looked at his watch: "It's already eight o'clock."
"It's only eight o'clock?" Wanqi Kang was a little confused: "It's different from what I expected."
Jiang Xiuya knew that Wanqi Kang had misunderstood, so he explained, "It was eight o'clock in the morning, not eight o'clock in the evening. This battle has lasted for a full fifteen hours."
When Wanqi Kang and Qian Lao learned the time, they both took a deep breath.
Although the Ancient Sword Leopard and the Ancient Jade Fish often had conflicts, they were very tacit in battle. The fierce melee attacks and terrifying ranged attacks finally overwhelmed the exhausted black shadow.
The double restraints of [Black Gaze] and the bamboo slips paving the ground prevented the black shadow from reentering the shadow, and he could only choose to fight desperately.
Coupled with Gu Jianwo's occasional harassment with his vine whip, the black shadow was unable to escape from the battle and attack the humans present.
boom!
The black shadow, which was gradually showing signs of fatigue, was knocked to the ground by Gu Jianbao with a [Surprise Attack] and slammed heavily into Gu Jianwo's bamboo slips.
The ancient snail rolled up the bamboo slips in an instant and trapped the black shadow inside.
"finally!"
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the black shadow curiously.
This is a humanoid elf that appears to be made of a smoky grey shade. The area around its face resembles a helmet. On top of the helmet are two curved horns, and there is a small horn between the ears.
Its eyes are orange-red with yellow pupils, and there is a yellow oval mark above each eye. There is a small lump on the wrist of each arm. There is a smoking collar around its neck, and there is a shadow on each foot.
The shadow elf Mashado!
At this time, Machado, who was trapped in the bamboo slips, was trembling as he looked at everyone present. His timid and weak appearance formed a sharp contrast with his extremely powerful appearance in the previous battles against the ancient sword leopard and the ancient jade fish.
It looks kind of cute.
Hua Jianming opened Machado's information panel.

"Machado, I think we can have a good talk."
Hua Jianming came to Mashado who was wrapped in bamboo slips, and the translator Honglian Kaiqi also came to Hua Jianming.
Seeing that Machado did not react and still looked pitiful, at Hua Jianming's signal, Gu Jianwo carefully retracted the bamboo slips and released the restraint on Machado.
Due to the effect of [Black Gaze] and the bamboo slips all around, Machado had no way of escaping or hiding.
"Machado, can we talk for a minute?"
Seeing that Hua Jianming had been waiting for him, Mashado thought for a while and then nodded with difficulty.
"The Red Lotus Armor Knight can translate for me, just go ahead and tell me."
Machado glanced at the Red Lotus Armor with an apologetic expression, as if he was apologizing for his previous behavior.
As Machado began to narrate, the Red Lotus Armored Knight slowly translated Machado's words.
"This is where the dead sleep, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Because you entered casually, I took the initiative to attack."
Wanqi Kang looked curiously at Machado, who was less than a meter on the ground. "I'm sorry, it's our fault for disturbing the dead."
"Then can you leave?"
Machado's words made Wanqi Kang choke. To be honest, he still wanted to explore the secrets here.
Hua Jianming saw Wanqi Kang's dilemma and took over the topic: "May I ask, are the three elves Yan Di, Shui Jun, and Lei Gong inside the sarcophagus?"
When Wanqi Kang saw Hua Jianming easily named three elves he had never heard of, he stepped back and let Hua Jianming continue talking to the elves in front of him.
Machado was visibly stunned when he heard the names of the three sacred beasts. He looked at Hua Jianming in confusion: "Do you know the three messengers?"
Hua Jianming nodded: "So, it's them?"
Machado shook his head and gave Hua Jianming a negative answer.
Hua Jianming was stunned and looked at the three sarcophagi with suspicion. If it weren't for these three, there would be no other elves.
Only the three sacred beasts can match the three attributes of fire, water and electricity. If it is not them in the sarcophagus, then who could it be?
Chapter 340: Feng Qi Wu Tong's Idea
"Without the titles bestowed by the adults, they are not worthy of the names of the three sacred beasts, 'Flame Emperor', 'Water Lord', and 'Thunder God'."
Machado's words were very clear, and it was not difficult for Hua Jianming to guess who the adult it was talking about was. It was basically certain that it was the legendary Phoenix King.
However, to Wanqi Kang, Jiang Xiuya and others, what Machado was talking about was a completely new world, a world involving legendary elves.
They absorbed the information in the story like a rain after a long drought.
"So the beings in the sarcophagus have not yet been given the names of 'Fendi', 'Suicune', and 'Thunder God', or are they not the three sacred beasts?"
Although the first situation is most likely the case, with Mashado around, Hua Jianming decided it would be better to ask for clarification.
Hua Jianming's words were a bit confusing to Machado, and it took it a while to sort out Hua Jianming's meaning.
"Only when they welcome the coming of the Master and are given a sacred mission by the Master, can they truly bear the name of the Three Sacred Beasts and walk the world as the Master's messengers."
The more Wanqi Kang and Jiang Xiuya listened, the more confused they became, yet the more familiar they became. As for the archaeologist Qian Lao, he just thought he was listening to a myth.
Wanqi Kang looked at Hua Jianming: "Sorry to interrupt. Xiaoming, can you tell me, this... um..."
Hua Jianming reminded him, "It's called Machado."
"Mashado, right? Can I know who the 'adult' Mashado is referring to?"
Machado looked at the white-bearded human in front of him in disbelief, his cute eyes widened.
Is there anyone who doesn’t know about adults’ existence?
"The adult that Machado mentioned is called 'Phoenix King', a fairy recorded in mythology. It is said that it lives at the foot of the rainbow, and where it flies with its colorful wings, a rainbow is formed. The Phoenix King has the magical power to revive the dead. It is said that those who see the Phoenix King can have eternal happiness."
Hua Jianming's description made the other three people a little unbelievable. The existence of this legend really subverted human's existing cognition.
Wanqi Kang looked at Hua Jianming in confusion: "Is there really such a little elf?"
"By the way, the big bird Pokémon we saw on the mural just now is the Ho-Oh, and the three Pokémon it rescued are the three in the sarcophagus. But they are probably still in the stage before being rescued by the Ho-Oh in the story."
Hua Jianming turned to look at Machado: "Am I right, Machado?"
Machado nodded excitedly. To it, Ho-Oh was the supreme existence, and all those who spread the legend of Ho-Oh were its friends.
"So, where do we find it?"
Wanqi Kang squatted in front of Mashado and asked a key question.
Machado was no longer as shy as it was at the beginning. It moved to the wall where Qian Lao had just discovered something strange.
"Can you open this?"
Machado looked at Hua Jianming, and Hua Jianming gave Gu Jianwo a look, and Gu Jianwo took back the bamboo slips covering the wall.
Machado swung his fist and hit somewhere on the wall quickly, and a stone door slowly rose up.
"Come in with me."
Led by Machado, Hua Jianming and a few others followed Machado into what Mr. Qian called the "main tomb chamber."
The space of this tomb is several times larger than the previous one, but it is empty all around.
There is a stone statue in the center of the tomb, which is the image of the Phoenix King in the mural. In front of the stone statue is a round platform carved from branches, on which a feather is floating in the air.
A feather shining with colorful light.
"Rainbow Feather?"
Machado responded to Hua Jianming's exclamation: "Yes, this is the adult's feather."
[The Rainbow Feather comes from the feathers of the Phoenix King in the legend. It has an unknown mysterious power and is rumored to be able to call for the arrival of the Phoenix King.]
Can you call for the arrival of the Phoenix King?
Hua Jianming was a little dazed as he looked at the rainbow feather in front of him. As a legendary Pokémon that appeared at the beginning of the animation, Ho-Oh can be said to carry the memories of countless people.
"So, the Phoenix King has already come to this world?"
Hua Jianming could clearly remember that the leader of Articuno said that there were still some powerful beings in the elf world who had not yet come to this world.
As one of the top beings, the Phoenix King should not have come to this world yet. But if the Phoenix King had not come to this world, how could this rainbow feather be explained?
Machado shook his head: "Definitely not. My mission is to guard the three sarcophagi and wait for the arrival of the Master."
"So if we recreate the Bell Tower, when the Ho-Oh comes to this world, will it choose to live in the Bell Tower?"
