5. Phoenix Divine Bird

The wolves were the fastest, and they had pounced on the little white tiger, and the little white tiger did not show weakness, and was still comfortable maneuvering between more than a dozen jungle wolves. But when the giant biao, tiger crocodile, poisonous snake, and money leopard attacked together, the little white tiger was very difficult to dodge and protect Shen Ling on his back.

Shen Ling was so frightened that he had no master, so he could only hug the little white tiger's neck harder, close his eyes tightly, and not look directly at those terrifying beasts, nor care about the roar of beasts and birds echoing in his ears and the fishy smell that lingered in his nose.

The fierce beasts and the birds of prey were rushing towards the small battlefield on this side at a rapid pace, seeing that this place was about to turn into a field of corpses, rivers of blood, and even more terrifying Shura field. At this time, from the stone cave on the stone cliff, the beautiful and long phoenix song overwhelmed all the sounds, lingering among the mountains and forests for a long time.

All the beasts and fierce birds paused in this phoenix song, they stopped and looked up in the direction of the stone cave on the stone cliff, the eyes of different colors and shapes, there was fear and admiration, but more was greed and desire.

At the end of this phoenix roar, the strange beasts frantically rushed to the stone cave on the stone cliff.

No one paid any attention to Shen Ling and the little white tiger, and these strange beasts rushed to the stone cave as if they had been stimulated. Among them, fighting and biting are naturally unavoidable, and the corpses of fierce birds and beasts fall straight from the sky or from the stone cliffs.

Suddenly, an orange-yellow light burst out from the stone cave, forcing a group of eagles that were pressed by the black pressure at the entrance of the cave back more than 100 meters.

As the sun sets and the sky gets darker, this orange glow will gradually be illuminated by the valley that is swallowed by darkness.

A phoenix bird with its whole body like a burning flame flew out of this light, soaring into the sky like a god. The wide wings of flame obscured the sky above the stone cliff, and the blazing flames scorched the eyes of a large number of fierce beasts and birds of prey, and for a moment, wailed all over the field.

Shen Ling covered his eyes and turned his head to avoid the direct light of the flames, and the little white tiger lay on the ground one step ahead of him, burying his head in the soft soil.

"Whew-"

Another phoenix chirp, even a human like Shen Ling could hear the anger in the phoenix bird's voice.

At this time, the Alien Beast Forest was not far from the Linus River town.

The villagers felt a strong tremor like an earthquake at the moment when the beast tide erupted, and they rushed out of the house, and before they could run far, the phoenix cry in the alien beast forest in the distance made everyone knees weaken and fall to the ground.

The men protected their wives and children, and the children wept with the timid maiden. Weak beasts and ordinary beasts poured out of the forest, panicked, and even some ran into this human territory.

"Is it the cry of the phoenix bird?!"

"No, that's the voice of the beast god, the beast god is angry!"

"Could it be that someone has angered the beast god?"

"It must be those greedy strangers! Those strangers entered the forest to hunt strange beasts, and they were discovered by the beast god! ”

"Lord Beast God's angerβ€”"

"Angerβ€”"

The phoenix bird did not mean to calm its anger, and the flames on its body became more and more intense. The demonstrator swept past the beasts, and everywhere they went, sparks lit up.

Some of the strange beasts that had flocked here had already turned around and fled back into the dense forest, and the birds were even more frightened when they saw the king of the birds, and they all left. Only the most powerful beasts in the hundred or so are still eyeing the phoenix bird.

Shen Ling patted the little white tiger's side on the back, leaned against its neck and said in a trembling voice, "I...... Let's go too, it's horrible here. ”

The little white tiger's ears moved, but he still buried his head in the soil and did not move.

Shen Ling was afraid that if he left alone, he would be caught by a strange beast for dinner, so he had to hold the little white tiger and continue to wait.

The beasts that refused to leave lingered near the blood-red stream, unafraid of the scorching flames, and stared at the phoenix bird vigilantly. The phoenix bird flew high into the air, its slender snake neck held high, and a flaming flame rolled bigger and bigger in its diamond-hard beak.

Then the flame was spat out by the phoenix bird and fell towards the place where the strange beasts gathered most densely near the stream.

The beasts dodged in a panic, and the flame fell on the stream, igniting the blood-red stream, and the strange and terrifying blood-red flame "boomed" to the ground, reflecting the stone cliff like a hellish netherworld.

The deterrence of the phoenix bird made more and more strange beasts choose to leave, and the remaining few powerful strange beasts also hid in the dense forest after weighing.

"Whew-"

The long phoenix roar lingered again in the dense forest, a warning from the strongest man in the forest.

At this time, the little white tiger finally pulled his head out of the dirt and raised his head high towards the phoenix bird, as if to accompany the phoenix's song, and let out a majestic roar.

Shen Ling's face turned pale again, if he could, he really wanted to cover the little white tiger's mouth and let it not make a sound. Why does the little white tiger always have to make a noise at such a time to attract the attention of other strange beasts? Are you afraid that these strange beasts will not find out that they have eaten them? Or maybe......

Shen Ling thought of a possibility, could it be that the little white tiger's roar was just to lure the phoenix bird out?

Shen Ling looked up at the phoenix bird, the flames on the phoenix bird's body were still there, but they were no longer dazzling, and leaned over and flew in the direction of him and the little white tiger.

The scorching air flow rushed towards him, startling Shen Ling to fall to the ground from the back of the little white tiger.

The phoenix bird landed in front of the little white tiger and Shen Ling, dragging its long tail with brilliance and swaying, and retracting its wings that flowed in the red glow, he lowered his head slightly, and a pair of dark blue eyes proudly looked down at Shen Ling who was sitting on the ground.

"Mermaid cubs." The beautiful and ethereal male voice sounded in Shen Ling's ears, Shen Ling's eyes widened in surprise, the phoenix beak in front of him obviously didn't move, but he could react immediately, it was him talking to himself.

"Why are you scared? Now that you have awakened the soul of the mermaid, you have so much courage? ”

"You...... Are you talking to me? ”

"How many mermaid cubs do you think there are in this forest?"

"I'm really human...... Merman? ”

"Oh?" The phoenix bird tilted its head slightly, "You don't even know that you're a mermaid cub?" ”

"I ......" Shen Ling was confused for a while, was that dream really not just a dream?

The phoenix bird's blue eyes stared at Shen Ling deeply, and in the flash of blue light, the phoenix bird had already seen Shen Ling's essence. "A mongrel mermaid can awaken the soul of a mermaid at such a young age, it is really worthy of being the most favored race of the gods in the legend." Sighing, the phoenix bird looked sideways at the little white tiger.

The little white tiger noticed the phoenix bird's gaze, raised his head and chest, and called out as if he was invited.

The phoenix bird bowed slightly proudly at the little white tiger, he keenly heard the sound of a strange beast approaching nearby, and let out a long warning roar, and suddenly soared, and the slender phoenix tail swept across the mud ground, bringing sparks overflowing and shining with golden light. He stretched out his sharp claws and grabbed Shen Ling and the little white tiger respectively, and the flaming wings stretched out, and it only took a moment to fly into the air.

"Ahh The little white tiger seems to have been accustomed to the movements of the phoenix bird, hanging its limbs gracefully, overlooking the forest.

The phoenix bird flew towards the cave high above the stone cliff with Shen Ling and the little white tiger. Before he entered the inside of the stone cliff, Shen Ling heard the sound of gurgling water, and when he looked up and saw a qiqi in front of him, he thought he had broken into a star.

Inside the cliff is a small world with a cave, almost as wide as a large square, the cliff wall is covered with blue and black vines, and the gaps around the plants are dotted with five-colored glow. At the innermost end of the cliff, a waterfall cascades down from the top of the cliff and falls into a dark lake with mist splashing.

Shen Ling could feel that the powerful energy that overflowed the entire forest was emanating from the dark lake. If it's not that the dark lake itself has powerful energy, then there is some kind of powerful substance hidden under the dark lake.

The phoenix bird landed in the open space by the dark lake with Shen Ling and the little white tiger, and as soon as it fell to the ground, the phoenix bird seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and fell to the ground with a "bang". Then, under the surprised gazes of Shen Ling and Little White Tiger, the flame brilliance on his body quickly annihilated in the darkness, and his body continued to shrink, until he finally turned into a blackened black bird that was only one person tall and blackened.

"Roar!" The little white tiger anxiously ran to the black bird's side and kept licking the black bird's feathers.

"Mermaid cub, come over here and come to me." The black bird's dark blue beast eyes when he was still in the form of a phoenix looked at Shen Ling, he didn't get up, as if even the strength to get up had been exhausted. When Shen Ling got closer, he said faintly, "My life is coming to an end, since the Nirvana failed a year ago, I have no way to rely on my own strength to perform Nirvana again. The dark blue eyes darkened, and after a pause, he continued condescendingly, "Mermaid cub, as long as you are willing to help me achieve nirvana again before the end of your life, I am willing to surrender myself to become your natal soul beast, what do you think?" ”

The black bird's words were foggy in Shen Lingyun, he didn't understand what the black bird meant by Nirvana, nor did he understand what the natal soul beast he said represented. But a divine bird as noble as a phoenix turned into the dejected appearance in front of him in an instant, Shen Ling faintly felt that what he asked himself to do must be something very terrifying, so he took two steps back and couldn't help shaking his head.

"No, I don't." "I don't understand what you're saying, but I don't." ”

The black bird originally thought that after saying such a condescending and sacrificing his life for righteousness, but any individual fish, no, but anyone with a brain would happily immediately bow down to him with gratitude and bow to him to make a five-body bow to the ground, but he didn't expect that the mermaid in front of him, who had not grown all the hair, would dare to refuse him!

As the guardian holy beast of the Southern Pleiades Star Alien Beast Forest, if it weren't for the Nirvana a year ago, he had a business trip. He waited here for another year, until now the essence and spirit are almost consumed, and if he doesn't carry out nirvana, he will really die, he still can't wait for a strong man with soul power, otherwise why would he ask for such a mermaid cub who can't even figure out whether he is a mermaid.

The black bird snorted angrily: "I don't know what to do, mermaid cub!" Do you know what you're rejecting? For thousands of years, how many mermaids, supernatural beings, and soul beast masters with powerful soul power have come here crying and shouting to subdue me as a natal soul beast, and they have all been instigated out of the alien beast forest by me with one wing. Today I surrendered my identity and took the initiative to ask to become your natal soul beast, you ...... How dare you refuse me! "Probably never received such an insult, and in the end, the black bird was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Being scolded by the black bird, Shen Ling felt as if he had done something wrong, but he didn't understand what he was wrong. He doesn't want the black bird to do what he wants to do, he just doesn't want it, even if this black bird itself is a phoenix, but he can't force people like this!

Shen Ling's temperament is soft, but he is stubborn like a cow, and he can't pull it back. He pursed his lips and looked at the ground as if he said I didn't want to kill me.

The black bird was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, if he hadn't used up the last of his strength by pretending to be B outside, he really wanted to get up and beat Shen Ling. How can there be a mermaid in this world who is stupid like this? Kneeling and begging him to put the baby in front of him, he still doesn't want it?

There is a phoenix divine bird that has become a natal soul beast, and when this little mermaid grows up, the mermaid's bloodline is completely awakened, and then relying on his strength, even if it is walking sideways between the alien beast forests of the four planets of the east, south, west, and north, it is absolutely impossible for any alien beast to dare not trouble him with long eyes, let alone those weak orcs and even weaker humans. Even the guardian holy beasts of several other planets would never dare to despise a mermaid with a phoenix bird as a natal soul beast.

Can...... But people don't want it!

The black bird forcibly calmed himself down and decided to reason with emotion towards Shen Lingxiao.

"You know, I am the guardian beast of this forest, and if I die here, my beast power will be gone. This stone cliff will be overrun by other beasts in the forest. When the time comes, in order to compete for the energy in the stone cliff, the beasts will definitely fight to the death. As long as my soul lives, this cliff will remain a deterrent to the forest. He looked at Shen Ling inquiringly, "You don't want this alien beast forest to have a beast riot/chaos and become a human purgatory, right?" ”

Shen Ling frowned suspiciously, and after pondering for a while, he replied solemnly: "I don't understand what you mean, but there are good things, why do you want to occupy them and not share them with everyone?" Shen Ling had been thinking about it before, the phoenix was really stingy, the stone cliff was so beautiful, and this energy that made people feel comfortable was so abundant, why was he unwilling to share it with others, but to be exclusive, to put it bluntly, it was stingy.

The black bird felt the blood surging again, and the painful feeling of an old blood stalk in his throat.

Hmph, when he successfully seduces this little mermaid and becomes one with his mermaid soul, there will be a chance to teach him a lesson in the future!

He narrowed his blue eyes and pondered.

The little mermaid was dressed in rough linen, and her skin was dark and shiny from years of exposure. After the inquiry just now, he also found that the little mermaid's mind was empty, and he must not have read any books. What's even more unbelievable is that after he awakened the soul of the mermaid, he didn't even know his true identity, and he should have been raised as an ordinary child by the nearby savages since he was a child.

He has lived for thousands of years, traveled to countless planets, and is extremely familiar with the mermaid race, so he naturally knows that the mermaid, as the darling of the gods, is born with great power. But sometimes being strong doesn't mean being good, and populations of organisms that are too strong will eventually perish. Just like the mermaid, a creature that is declining day by day, has almost disappeared in the past hundred years. And mermaids are social creatures, and from the moment they are born, they crave their companions from the bottom of their bones.

Case.

The black bird dropped its biggest bait. "If you are willing to promise me to make me your natal soul beast, I will tell you the news about your merfolk people."
