A phantom
"Darkened...... The further you go southwest, the more you can feel that the surrounding environment is gradually darkening, and at first I thought it was because the trees were getting denser, but on closer inspection, the rate of darkening was much more serious than that caused by trees.

"It's the light that's gone." Wei Chi replied, and as soon as he finished speaking, even the last bit of light disappeared, and he only heard him say the last sentence: "Feel it with your heart." After that, I couldn't even feel the slightest breath.
"Come on......"
"Come on......"
"Hurry up..."
There was a gentle call in the darkness, Jiang Tongye involuntarily followed the sound, walking, walking, the darkness seemed to have no end, every time she wanted to give up and stop moving forward, the voice sounded again, constantly urging forward.
I don't know how long I walked, finally, the darkness in front of me was suddenly interrupted, and there was a light ahead, Jiang Tongye stood on the dividing line between light and shadow, looking at the emptiness in front of him, and hesitated, not daring to take another step forward, lest he be careless, he would fall into the abyss.
"Don't be afraid...... Boldly move forward......"
"Who are you?" Jiang Tongye tried to step out with one foot, it was obviously a void, but it was extremely solid, so he put the other foot on it as well, and after taking a few steps, he looked around at the light around him and asked.
"You can't hear me...... I'm very sad......" Hearing this, Jiang Tongye's eyes instantly became sour, and his heart became painful.
"Go further and you'll see me......"
One step, two steps, three steps, gradually reaching the center of the void.
"Keep your head down."
A large burning tree grew underneath, just like in a dream.
"Don't you remember? I'm ......"
"Senior Sister Jiang?" When he was about to hear that sentence clearly, he suddenly heard Situ Xiao's voice, Jiang Tongye's eyes couldn't help but widen, how could there be that tree in front of him, just the people who were walking in the southwest direction.
"What do you see?" Jiang Tongye wanted to make sure that others had also seen the tree.
"See?" Pei Zhao insisted on the fan and slapped it twice in front of Jiang Tongye, "Is Jiang Daoyou too tired?" Didn't you see anything other than trees along the way? β
"Trees?" Situ Xiao knew that Jiang Tongye would not ask irrelevant questions, so he replied solemnly: "I only saw a normal tree, and I didn't see anything else?" β
Hearing this answer, Jiang Tongye didn't know whether to be happy or sad, a pair of black eyes turned to Wei Chishi, and when she saw him nodding at herself, she felt at ease, even if she didn't know why she only saw it, but she believed that the tree must be here.
"Here we are." Situ Xiao interrupted Jiang Tongye's thoughts, "I didn't expect that there was indeed a primordial fruit tree here. β
"Even if we know about this place, we won't dare to come, so we can rest assured." Pei Zhao laughed.
"But as it says on the map, this place is mysterious, did we come too easily?" Kong Ning knew how the map of the demon clan was drawn, the places that could be explored were easy, and the places that were difficult to explore would usually be speculated according to the terrain and environment to which spirit plants and demon beasts would be, and then sent people to wander around the neighborhood repeatedly, trying to find an opportunity to go in and explore, so she was a little uneasy, obviously this place was marked as a strange place, and it was not too smooth for them to come here.
As he was talking, a clear phoenix sound came from mid-air, the sound was like a jade sonorous stone, and then it was like a hole whimper, tactful and long, making people involuntarily listen.
"It's a phoenix!" When the phoenix stopped singing, Kong Ning stopped trembling slightly, her body is a peacock, which belongs to birds, and the phoenix is the king of birds, and it is normal to have a feeling of being suppressed.
"What should I do?" Even if he is usually calm, Situ Xiao is in a hurry now, and he may still have the courage to compete in the face of other demon beasts, but in the face of the existence of a phoenix who was born as a divine beast, he has no idea of competing with it at all.
"Senior sister, do you remember what everyone said about Phoenix?" Jiang Tongye didn't feel scary when he looked at the bird flying freely, and instinctively felt close.
"The Bird of Five Virtues."
"Since we are the birds of the five virtues, why should we panic?" Jiang Tongye raised his head and said loudly to the flying phoenix: "I have seen Taoist friends, I don't know that friends are practicing here, if there is any offense, I hope to forgive me, we are only here for the first fruit, and we will leave immediately after getting it, and please bear with it for a while." β
When Jiang Tongye spoke, the phoenix stopped above the Taichu fruit tree and did not fall, as if it was listening attentively, and its long tail feathers hung down, with a scorching temperature. After hearing this, he spread his broad wings again, waved them to the sky, and thenβ
The raging fire was ignited, and even the scattered sparks were scorching abnormally, and the golden red bird, which was wrapped in the golden-red flames, let out a long roar, and then, bathed in fire nirvana.
The little bird landed on Jiang Tongye's shoulder, and pecked each other's hair lightly, if it weren't for the nine tiny feathers on the bird's head, I wouldn't have seen that this was the phoenix just now!
"Good luck, junior sister." Situ Xiao smiled and didn't say more, but Kong Ning glanced at it curiously, but he didn't dare to speak because of the power of the phoenix.
Jiang Tongye touched the little phoenix standing on his shoulder, "Are you going to go with us?" β
The little phoenix nodded as if she could understand human speech.
"It's a mythical beast! Gang Nirvana is still so psychic! Pei Zhao sighed, and was about to touch it, but he was pecked hard, and a scorching smell wafted in an instant.
Kong Ning sneered, "You dare to touch the king of birds, do you mean that you are bold, or do you want to die?" β
"It's time." Situ Xiao also ignored Pei Zhao and Kong Ning's bickering, stared at the Taichu Fruit Tree in front of him and said.
The moment her words fell, the goose-yellow flowers bloomed, revealing a small fruit in the middle, the size of a thumb but exuding a compelling aura.
"When it encounters jade, it falls, it burns when it encounters fire, it disappears when it encounters wood, it disappears when it encounters soil, it withers when it encounters gold, and it stops when it encounters water." As he spoke, Situ Xiao took out a narrow knife, and the jade blade flashed with cold light.
"Stopping in the water?" Jiang Tongye was puzzled.
"It's ice." Sui An opened his mouth to answer, spreading his hand as he spoke, a water balloon slowly lowered the temperature in his palm, changing shape, and finally appeared in a row of six ice boxes.
"Water alchemy?" Pei Zhao's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.
Sui Anke had never felt such eager gazes from others, and his face turned red: "Indeed... It is indeed water alchemy. β
"Whom?"
"Yourself...... Those who have explored by themselves have never been apprenticed. After listening to Sui An's answer, Pei Zhao stopped asking with satisfaction. The water alchemy is different from the fire alchemy that the public has tasted and heard, it can retain the medicinal properties to a greater extent, and the rate of going to the pill is also higher, but the corresponding difficulty is also doubled, and it is more difficult to get started and difficult to improve without anyone to guide him, so the monk in front of him who is easy to blush as soon as he speaks and has no sense of existence is a genius who is uncertain in a hundred miles.
Between the two of them going back and forth, Situ Xiao had already cut off the twelve Taichu fruits on the fruit tree with a jade blade, took two as a portion, and put them in the ice box, and asked Sui An to seal the ice box and hand it to everyone in turn.
