Chapter 35: The Vermilion Bird's Nest
A long and crisp sound hovered in the air for a long time, and the sunlight finally spread to every corner of this forest.
As the sun rose high and the temperature gradually increased, Mo Xiaotong also stopped out of breath, holding his knees with both hands, his back slightly rubbed, trying to calm his heartbeat.
Thanks to Wang Zhenren for letting her practice Tu Dun every day, her physical strength has also improved a lot.
After running for so long, the surrounding environment has indeed changed dramatically, for example, every time Mo Xiaotong stopped before, he could find a tree to climb up and look into the distance to see the situation nearby.
But here, apart from some sparse hay on the ground, there are hardly any trees left, and it is very hot.
"Where is this?" Mo Xiaotong eased up for the most part, raised his hand to wipe the sweat left on his cheeks, hesitated, and continued to walk forward.
The farther you go south, the warmer it becomes, and the less greenery you see in front of you.
Although the aura around her was still abundant, Mo Xiaotong always felt that there was a hint of strangeness, and she could clearly feel that the living creatures around her were gradually decreasing.
Previously, she could still see some normal small animals passing by her from time to time, and the surroundings were also green, but now, the scene in front of her did not look like a forest at all, except for the rich spiritual power, there was really nothing.
Mo Xiaotong took off her outermost layer of clothes and hugged her head tightly.
The sun is too strong here, and if she continues to bask like this, she is afraid that she will run out of water in a while, and the sun will keep shooting her eyes open.
After taking care of it, Mo Xiaotong finally felt a lot more comfortable, she didn't dare to continue running wild in this place, and the kettle she brought was definitely not enough for her to drink.
Fortunately, yesterday's little accident only crushed the bag of sesame cakes she put in the placket of her clothes, and the kettle tied to her waist was almost intact except for some scratches.
Mo Xiaotong took off the big kettle pinned to his waist, pulled out the stopper, raised his head and began to drink water.
After taking a sip of cow drink, Mo Xiaotong reached out again and wiped the corners of her mouth, and after wiping, she looked at her cuffs again, and sure enough, there was a little bloodstain.
Her eyes were a little complicated, but then she immediately returned to normal and strode forward.
Under the sun, a trace of white light flashed on Mo Xiaotong's left wrist, and the white light gradually faded, and at the same time, it gradually became larger, wrapping her whole person.
But Mo Xiaotong didn't realize this, she still walked forward, she felt that her surroundings had become cooler, although it was hot all around, but there was no stuffy feeling before.
Almost two quarters of an hour passed, and Mo Xiaotong gasped for breath again and stopped, she always felt that she was not breathing smoothly here.
She looked at the sky with a mournful look, really, where is this? Holy Beast, you should come out quickly! This land is really desolate, and it is the first time she has seen it with her own eyes, what is called birds don't.
"Tsk!" Mo Xiaotong raised his hands to the sides, shook his hands desperately, and used his hands as a fan, trying to cool himself down.
"Why don't you even have a bird!" She couldn't help but complain, and then she slammed her ass to the ground.
But the ground was also scorched by the sun, and she had to get up immediately, helplessly looked at the big sun in the sky, and sighed helplessly, she couldn't even find a place to rest. Without rubbing her temples, she continued on her way.
After another quarter of an hour, the environment finally changed, but Mo Xiaotong didn't like this change very much.
Suddenly, a strong wind rose in the air, uprooting the dry grass that was not buried deep on the ground and scattering it in the air.
At the same time, some fine sand was also blown up, which made Mo Xiaotong have to squint.
In addition, although the wind was blowing around, it did not affect the temperature at all, but the temperature became even higher, and the feeling of stuffiness that had been relieved by it reappeared.
Mo Xiaotong looked around cautiously, her intuition told her that in a place where this kind of bird doesn't, something strange suddenly appeared, and there must be something strange here.
It's a pity that there is no place to hide in this place, and if she had, she would have hid a long time ago.
She hadn't considered using earth to sneak underground, but the ground here was so hard that if she forced herself down, there was a high chance that she would get stuck underneath.
Now, the safest way is for her to stand where she is, waiting for the opportunity.
"Gas-" The birdsong Mo Xiaotong had heard before sounded again, this time louder than before.
After a while, a shadow on the ground gradually expanded, but Mo Xiaotong was even hotter.
She squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky.
I saw a vermilion giant bird appear in front of her eyes in the air, and its tail came out of the three long Su, which kept shaking from side to side, leaving behind a stream of golden light.
Mo Xiaotong's eyes shook, her brain paused for a moment, and immediately spun quickly.
"Suzaku?" She subconsciously blinked her eyes a few times, her eyes closed one by one, and she instantly felt that she was blinded by the fine sand in the air.
She quickly narrowed her eyes into a slit again, and from time to time she stared at the red bird in the air.
The red bird also kept flying south, getting closer and closer to her, but it flew a few faster, and in just a few moments, it had already swept over Mo Xiaotong's head, screaming a few times and flying away.
Mo Xiaotong was still standing in place, half happy and half dazed in her eyes, when the giant bird flew over her head, she could also see clearly, the bird was in flames all over its body, so when it passed by, the temperature around it would suddenly rise violently.
However, she seems to remember that in ancient books, the Suzaku doesn't seem to look like this, and the Suzaku in the ancient books obviously looks more like a chicken, but the wings are longer, not what she just saw?
The one just now is obviously much better than the one in the book!
Also, the ancient books also say that the Suzaku is a bird that has been bathed in fire all the time, so this one should be the Suzaku.
Mo Xiaotong looked at the Vermilion Bird in front of her that was flying farther and farther away, and nodded seriously, and then she was suddenly filled with joy.
She saw Vermilion Bird, one of the four holy beasts, then this means that she is finally one step closer to seeking immortal fruits!
After seeing the Vermilion Bird, how can I find out the whereabouts of the Immortal Spring from where it is?
Mo Xiaotong was stunned, and hurriedly sprinted towards the Vermilion Bird, waving his hands as he ran, shouting, "Wait a minute!" Wait a minute! Suzaku! ”
Of course, Suzaku would not respond to her, and it also flew very fast, and it had disappeared as soon as it slipped through the smoke, only Mo Xiaotong was alone with trembling legs, sweating profusely and panting.
One of her hands stretched out in front of her, and her eyes were staring straight at the place where Suzaku had disappeared.
Mo Xiaotong's face was a little sad, and she couldn't say anything regret in her heart, what was she thinking about so much at that time, she should have chased after Suzaku directly when she saw it, and it wouldn't be like now, she could only watch Suzaku fly away.
Mo Xiaotong didn't care about the scorching heat on the ground, and lay on the ground directly with her back facing the sky, and the rush just now was much more physical strength than her running all night, and the spiritual power it took was also much more.
At the same time, she also made up her mind that she must learn the sword art well, and if she knew the sword just now, it is estimated that she would have flown with Suzaku a long time ago.
I just don't know when Suzaku will fly back again, and when he thought of this, Mo Xiaotong's whole person suddenly became decadent.
The opportunity is rare, she seems to have lost a precious opportunity just now, Mo Xiaotong looked at the sky with a bitter face, God, if you are always free, do you want to let that Vermilion Bird fly to the side? She said without thinking.
But this is impossible after all, Mo Xiaotong herself knows this, and she got up from the ground in frustration, she has rested enough, and now she can only continue to move forward, maybe she can meet the Vermilion Bird and fly back.
In this way, Mo Xiaotong began to trot in this desolate place in confusion again.
******
"Senior brother, the Tianchi Mountain Range is really a good place for cultivation, I have been in the bottleneck period for so long, in the past few days, I actually feel a trace of fluctuations, I should be about to break through!"
The group walked at a high speed in the mountains, one leader, three in the middle, and one after the break, they all looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they all held long swords in their hands, the sword was unsheathed, and the white jade pendants on the waists of several people also shook with their fast cadence.
"Ha, then congratulations to Senior Sister Wu!" The young man in the lead smiled and turned back to the young woman behind him.
"There is a lot of aura here, and it feels much richer than our sect, why don't they put the sect here?" Wu Linger pouted playfully in joy, puzzled.
"Because it's not safe here, there are too many spirit beasts." The senior brother who led the team said: "We are all only operating within the safety line now, and there are still seven days before the end of this experience, should we try to challenge the place outside the challenge line?" ”
His tone was very brisk, and at the same time, he raised his eyebrows at Wu Ling'er behind him as he spoke.
Wu Linger was instantly amused, she was the youngest in the team, this was her first time going out to practice, and the various brothers and sisters in the team took good care of her.
Especially this Senior Brother Si Lulin is really interesting, and his strength is also the best among his peers, he is obviously only the second time he has come here to sit in the Tianchi Mountain Range, and he can already skillfully take them all the way to dig treasures and hunt, sure enough, Senior Brother Si is very reliable!
"However, there are only five of us, and if we go outside the line, we may not be able to resist it at that time." Qiu Yu, who was at the end of the line, frowned, and unceremoniously broke Si Lulin's joke.
"Senior Sister Qiu, don't take anything seriously, I'm just joking!" Si Lulin rubbed his nose, turned his head, and led the way honestly.
Suddenly, the long sword in his hand stopped, and the four people behind him also hurriedly stopped, Qiu Yu's face also froze, and his right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, keeping him alert.
Coaxing-
All of a sudden, the cave shook, and a slender scream with a tail note sounded a little hoarse: "Are you still running?" Stand for labor! ”
