Chapter 119: Egg Cracking
"What, do you feel a connection with this thing?" asked Liang Tiance after seeing Xiao Chuan's reaction.
"It seems, it seems that there is. Xiao Chuan felt some indescribable relationship and said uncertainly.
"Then you try to connect the spiritual power in your mind to stimulate that thing. ”
Xiao Chuan closed his eyes and carefully felt the subtle feeling, and the connection was like a spiritual vein from the heart to the scales.
"Whew!"
As Xiao Chuan slowly guided his spiritual power to shake the scales, a soft sound sounded, and Xiao Chuan suddenly felt a chill coming from his body.
He opened his eyes in surprise and saw that his body was instantly covered with a layer of fine scales, which glowed with a light purple light in the reflection of purple lava.
"What is this?" Seeing the scene of this artifact, Xiao Chuan asked Liang Tiance in disbelief.
"It is the snake that has been successfully refined. Liang Tiance said, his state seemed to be better after the refining was over, but the rise and fall of his chest was still announcing the great consumption he had before.
"This thing seems good." Feeling the cold feeling, Ogawa thought it was very interesting.
"But this kind of long-term metamorphosis usually carries some basic instincts and even spiritual consciousness of the previous body. Although I don't know if this dragon is really some kind of dragon molt, it is certainly not an ordinary beast, and if you use your spiritual power to live and nourish in the future, it will increase with your strength. ”
"Is it so strong......" Ogawa looked at his body carefully, although it looked a little weird now covered with scales, but the scales were very fine, giving people a sense of delicacy, and they didn't feel ugly and ugly.
"Thank you, master, for your dedication to the apprentice!" Feeling the strong defense of that thing, Xiao Chuan changed his previous playful expression and bowed very seriously.
"Poof!"
However, Xiao Chuan was unprepared, but Liang Tiance pulled out his ghost, and then slashed at Xiao Chuan's arms like antelope horns.
"Click!"
Xiao Chuan only felt a sharp pain where he was slashed, and there was a crisp cracking sound.
"Ahh
"Shhhhhh Xiao Chuan was stunned, only then did he realize that his bones were fine, and the master's knife cut it down, except for some pain, he was unharmed?
"Click"
Xiao Chuan was just about to get excited, but he heard the crisp cracking sound just now.
At this time, he and Liang Tiance had already discovered the source of the sound, and the master and apprentice followed the trail and saw that cracks had appeared on the golden lines of the egg in the blue flame earlier.
"Master, this ......" Xiao Chuan's face was full of shock, how could it be so coincidental that this egg cracked when he came here? Xiao Chuan looked at Liang Tiance, but found that the old man was also shocked and puzzled.
"Click"
There was a crisp sound, and the egg cracked along the golden lines.
"Squeak" followed by a small head breaking through the top eggshell and showing its head.
What seems to be a bird with its eyes closed?
Xiao Chuan was a little nervous and observed the thing that broke out of the shell, like the chick that hatched from the Wang Ba incubator next door in his previous life.
The thing stuck its head out and struggled to get the rest of its body out of the eggshell, and the golden veins of the eggshell fell off one after another, revealing the whole face of the thing, and Ogawa couldn't help but gasp.
Speaking of which, it was no different from a newly hatched chick, covered in red wrinkled skin, with only a few golden hairs, and its eyes were closed, twitching a little uneasily at the bottom of the blue flame. However, to Xiao Chuan's shock, this thing actually has three legs!
"Ah!" Seeing this thing break out of its shell, Liang Tiance let out an exclamation, "It turns out that it turned out to be it!"
"Master, what is this?" Xiao Chuan hurriedly asked, "Why does it have three legs?"
"It's not a mutation, this thing is originally three legs, but I never thought it would be here. Liang Tiance looked at the thing, then at Xiaochuan, and said meaningfully.
"They say that three-legged toads are hard to find, and I've never heard of three-legged chickens!" said Ogawa, who was curious, and came to something and squatted down to take a closer look.
But apart from the fact that it was three legs, it was really no different from the poultry he hatched in his previous life, it was nothing more than bigger?
Ogawa was there looking closely, but the thing suddenly opened his eyes unawares.
Xiao Chuan only felt that the golden light was dazzling in an instant, and he was dizzy. "Ouch!" he screamed as he sat uncontrollably inside the spiritual shield, holding his head.
Liang Tiance immediately came to him and used spiritual power to resolve the pain for him, and Xiao Chuan slowly felt relieved. The thing only opened its eyes for a moment, then "squeaked" twice and closed its eyes again at the bottom of the flames.
"Are you okay?" Liang Tiance asked with concern.
"It's just a little dizzy, it's okay now," Xiao Chuan said, rubbing his head, "Master, what is this, glaring at me makes me so uncomfortable?" he thought it was incredible.
"A number of rare beasts, you will know about them in the future. The old man seemed reluctant to say much.
"In that case, master, we might as well take this little fellow back to the mountain, what do you think? Ogawa suggested.
"No, you can't. It's nothing like a roar, it needs to accumulate energy to grow in the extreme heat here, and to bring it out at this moment is to harm it. Liang Tiance rejected Xiao Chuan's opinion very seriously.
Xiao Chuan thinks about it seems to be the same reason, since it needs the temperature of this flame to hatch, then the future growth must have a lot to do with the environment here, there is no such place in the first pavilion, it is better to let it grow here.
"Alright, now that we've got it, let's get out of here as soon as possible. Liang Tiance saw that the thing had been refined, and this mysterious young bird had also broken out of its shell, so he wanted to take Xiaochuan away.
"Master, you just now, are you okay?" Thinking of Liang Tiance's somewhat laborious appearance before, Xiao Chuan was still a little worried. In his eyes, the master will always be an invincible existence, how can there be such a state?
"It's a bit more expensive, you think this thing is like it!" the old man returned to normalcy at this time.
"In that case, let's get out quickly!" Xiao Chuan knew that maintaining the spiritual power shield by Liang Tiance here should also be a huge consumption.
Liang Tiance nodded, and the master and apprentice turned into a cyan streamer and quickly retreated outside.
With the departure of the two of them, the young bird struggled as if to catch up, but after all, it was young and weak, and still crawled there, and the red light on its body flashed and disappeared, and it fell silent.
"Master, don't you matter, right?" Back in the boat, Xiao Chuan hurriedly took a small remaining sea red ginseng fruit for Liang Tiance to eat.
"It's okay, I just didn't expect refining this thing to be so energy-consuming. Liang Tiance looked at the colored scale-like mark on Xiao Chuan's chest and said.
"Master, the thing we just encountered in the underground shouldn't be a simple bird, right?" Xiao Chuan heard that Liang Tiance was fine, and his heart was a little relieved, and he then remembered the three-legged strange bird in the fire in the center of the earth, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Have you ever seen a simple bird that can hatch at such a high temperature, can grow three legs? That bird is naturally not simple!" Liang Tiance said with a glare.
"Master, don't you mean you didn't say it, the apprentice knows this, I want to ask what kind of beast it is, and does it have any other powerful abilities?"
"I've only seen a description of this bird in ancient books. It is rumored to be made of extremely hot lava in the heart of the earth, and can control the lava fire underneath. It's still only a juvenile state, otherwise it will be difficult for us to get out of it. The old man thought back to the previous account of this bird, and he was faintly afraid.
"Born out of lava? without a father or mother? This is not scientific!" Xiao Chuan muttered, but he had seen too many unscientific things, and Liang Tiance's words did not shock him too much.
"But if something exists long enough to gather the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it is possible to evolve and give birth to spiritual intelligence. There are many beasts that are actually innate and do not have spiritual intelligence, but after cultivating for a long time, they can slowly awaken. It's just that the inanimate lava fire, in order to give birth to such a creature, must go through an incomparably long time, perhaps millions of years. Liang Tiance explained to Xiao Chuan.
"And the ancient book records that this bird seems to have the ability to be reborn......" Liang Tiance said this, his eyes looked at the sea in the distance a little wanderingly, and it seemed that even he felt a little hard to believe.
"Rebirth?...... the fire in the center of the earth," Xiao Chuan suddenly exclaimed with some excitement, "Master, is it possible, that thing is actually the legendary phoenix?" Xiao Chuan remembered all kinds of legends and stories he had seen in his previous life, and even many film and television works, isn't this exactly in line with the characteristics of this thing?
The old man in a daze was startled by Xiao Chuan's sudden excitement, and then shook his head, "Have you ever heard of a three-legged phoenix? But in short, the one below is definitely not a phoenix. He said firmly.
"Master, I always heard you talk about ancient books, what are ancient books, I have seen a Persona of Mountains and Seas in Lujiazhuang before, but the owner of Luzhuang sees that thing as the root of life, and I am not allowed to read it. ”
"Oh, Lu Yunting, that kid is willing to show it to outsiders?" the old man laughed when he heard this, "The Persona of Mountains and Seas does record many legends of the Lingxu Continent, especially rare and exotic beasts. The author of this book is now unknown, and only two copies have survived, one with him and one in our first house. ”
But the account of the bird does come from that book. Xiao Chuan didn't expect that what he said casually was confirmed by Liang Tiance.
