Chapter 24: The Phoenix Flame (I)
Underground, Phoenix Cave.
Watching Lin Lexuan and Phoenix complete the contract, Lin Xiangyu asked, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"After Mu Han comes out of the training ground in two days, we will take him to see this spiritual cage." Lin Lexuan replied.
Phoenix nodded and said, "You also have my flame mark in your body now, I will trigger it when I want to find you, and then the flame in your body will be sensitive." You can come to me directly, this entrance is very hidden and should not be noticed by anyone. ”
But hearing this, Lin Lexuan's face suddenly became a little strange, and he asked, "Can you control my flames?" ”
"At best, it can be triggered and make you feel abnormal."
Phoenix saw his thoughts and smiled, "It won't affect you in any way." ”
"And when you get out of here?" Lin Lexuan looked at her, his eyes turned cold.
"Then I'll take back the flame rune, and it'll be fine."
Phoenix sighed and said, "After that night, I can't even recognize you. It seems that that incident really changed you a lot. ”
Lin Lexuan replied calmly: "I must be responsible for myself and Wanshu. ”
"I understand you." Phoenix shook her beautiful head and whispered.
"We'll come back in two days, and Mu Han should be able to come with us then." Lin Xiangyu looked at one person and one phoenix and said.
"Wait."
But at this moment, Phoenix suddenly spoke, "You can't go yet. ”
Listening to Phoenix's words, Lin Lexuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I almost forgot the most important thing."
The phoenix looked at Lin Lexuan and said in a deep voice: "Since you have promised to find my child, then I must integrate my ontological flame into your body, so that my child will not resist you." If it weren't for my natal flame, you wouldn't have found him at all. And there is one more thing, I will tell you after you accept the phoenix flame. ”
"You're going to melt your flame into me?"
Lin Lexuan looked at the phoenix, his brows furrowed slightly: "What does this mean?" ”
"In a way, it's about giving you the same abilities as me."
The phoenix said in a deep voice, "My phoenix flame is one of the most powerful flames on earth, and it is born to suppress all other flames. That's the only way you can find my child. ”
"Then why are you waiting for me to accept the flames before telling me something?"
Lin Lexuan continued to ask: "Why can't you tell me directly?" ”
"Because I can't rest assured of you until you accept my flame."
This was the first time since one person and one phoenix started talking, and a deep light faintly flashed in the phoenix's eyes.
"You're going to control me with your flames?" Lin Lexuan looked at her, and his eyes gradually became cold.
"Just some precautions." Phoenix smiled lightly and said, "It's not as terrifying as you imagined. ”
"Then we don't have anything to talk about."
Lin Lexuan sneered, he greeted Lin Xiangyu and prepared to leave here.
"Don't you want to know what's in the phoenix flame?"
Looking at Lin Lexuan's departing back, Phoenix's tone was still very calm, as if he was stating a very ordinary matter, and continued:
"With Phoenix Flame, your fire abilities will gain explosive progress, breaking the shackles of elemental abilities and becoming the most powerful fire ability in the world. All fire-type abilities, whether they are fire elemental or fire-energy, will not be your opponent. And when you have fully mastered my flame, no one, anything, or organization can be a stumbling block for you. You want revenge, and this is the quickest way to do it. ”
Lin Lexuan's footsteps stopped.
Looking at Lin Lexuan's movements, a gentle smile appeared on Phoenix's beautiful face.
"I won't limit you too much, as long as you don't betray me or hurt my children, the flame mark I left in your body won't be triggered. It's just a defensive measure, and you don't need to overcomplicate it. ”
"But the flame is still yours, isn't it?"
Lin Lexuan said, a faint mockery flashed in his tone: "If you want to remove it at any time, or if you are bored and want to kill me, as long as your mind moves, I have to go to the Western Heavens, right?" ”
"Do I look so bored?" Phoenix asked rhetorically.
"You've watched me for so many years, can't you trust me?" Lin Lexuan smiled and asked.
"Don't forget, you don't trust me either."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Phoenix's eyes, and he continued: "And you said that your personal safety was threatened, but I also handed over my child's net worth and life to you, and we settled it." ”
Lin Lexuan's eyes narrowed, and he fell into deep thought.
"Lexuan, don't."
But at this moment, Lin Xiangyu grabbed his arm and shook his head.
"As long as there is time, strength can be cultivated on your own. If you agree to Phoenix's terms, you are putting your life in its hands. We've lost so much and there are things we can't afford to lose anymore. ”
"What else do we have to lose?"
Lin Lexuan sighed and said, "The teacher betrayed us, Wanshu died, Mengqi is no different from dead now, and it seems that our goal will never be achieved." In this situation, we can only have a chance to get out of here if we make changes. ”
"There must be something else."
Lin Xiangyu clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "I don't want my brother to exchange his life for freedom. ”
"Ulie has taught me that everything has a price."
Lin Lexuan looked at Lin Xiangyu's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since we choose to fight Yan Huang to the end, we must have the consciousness of paying the price. Let it all start with me, I'm the first, and hopefully the last. ”
With that, he pulled Lin Xiangyu's hand away and came to the front of the phoenix.
"I need your assurance." He said.
"I swear by this."
Phoenix's eyes froze, and a bright fire flashed all over his body: "Unless Lin Lexuan takes the lead in violating the agreement, I will never hurt Lin Lexuan for no reason." ”
"And after I have fulfilled my promise to you, and liberated you, you will lift this so-called 'defensive measure' that you have laid on me without delay."
Lin Lexuan said in a deep voice: "At the same time, this phoenix flame you left in my body will also belong to me, and you can't take it back." ”
Phoenix thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I can accept this." But it's all based on you finding my child. ”
"It's nature." Lin Lexuan said.
"Now that you've sworn an oath, I'll tell you what you need to know."
Phoenix sighed and said, "The reason why I'm in such a hurry is because I feel that my child is about to lose it. ”
"What's going on?" Lin Lexuan frowned and asked.
"When I was taken away, my child was still in the egg. Without the phoenix flame to nourish him, he would sooner or later be assimilated by nature. Twenty years have passed, and I can vaguely feel that he has reached his last moment. If there is no more warmth from the Phoenix Flame, he will soon die directly from his dormant state, and he will never see the sun in his life. ”
Speaking of this, a trace of tears flashed in Phoenix's eyes.
"And what do you need me to do?" Lin Lexuan asked.
"Once you have the Phoenix Flame, just burn the eggshell with the Phoenix Flame. After so many years, what he lacked most now was pure fire energy. As long as the energy is sufficient, he can hatch. ”
Listening to the phoenix's words, Lin Lexuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he muttered, "What about after hatching him?" ”
"Hand him over to the Great Elder of the Barbarians."
Phoenix said: "He also has a flame mark in his body, and he will never betray me." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best." Lin Lexuan said.
"In that case, listen up now."
The phoenix looked directly into Lin Lexuan's eyes and said in a deep voice: "When you merge your flame into the phoenix flame, you must not resist, otherwise the flame will melt your internal organs, even I can't save you." ”
"I understand." Lin Lexuan's chin looked solemn.
"And you need to ask your companions to keep an eye on you and prevent you from being disturbed in any way. If your mind is unstable and you can't control the fusion of flames, it will also take your life. The phoenix nodded at Lin Xiangyu and said.
"Xiang Yu?" Lin Lexuan looked back at Lin Xiangyu.
Lin Xiangyu's face was still a little ugly, but he still nodded.
"Alright, let's get started."
The phoenix closed her eyes, and the energy in her body began to emit an extremely unstable rhythm, and a wisp of fiery red energy broke away from it, slowly passing through the spiritual prison set up by the four offerings, and approaching Lin Lexuan's body.
Lin Lexuan felt the majestic energy fluctuations emitted by the fiery red energy in front of him, and a light mixed with unwillingness and hope flashed in his eyes. Then, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"I'm ready."
The energy gradually began to seep into Lin Lexuan's body. Seeing this scene, Lin Xiangyu's fists clenched involuntarily, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Lexuan.
But just when the flames completely entered Lin Lexuan's body-
Suddenly, his eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead! He fell to his knees, his arms bruised, and the nails that had been clutched into the ground were already bursting with blood from overexertion!
"Lexuan!"
Lin Xiangyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed forward with an arrow step, wanting to support Lin Lexuan. But just as his hand touched Lin Lexuan's skin, he screamed, and thick green smoke rose from his hand!
He looked at it in shock, only to see that the clothes on Lin Lexuan's body had gradually been burned, and his whole body had turned into the color of boiled shrimp!
"What's wrong with him?!" Lin Xiangyu glared at the phoenix.
"My phoenix flame is assimilating the flames in his body, and given that his flames have been fused into his bloodstream, it must be a very painful process."
Phoenix looked at the painful Lin Lexuan, and said in a calm voice: "So all he can do now is to survive." ”
"Why didn't you tell us before!"
Lin Xiangyu anxiously looked at Lin Lexuan, who was gasping for breath, and shouted.
"Everything has its cost, and he himself knows that."
The phoenix's gaze turned to Lin Lexuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
