Chapter 6: The Seal
The three little phoenixes slowly raised their heads in the direction where the black shadow came. In an instant, their already tense nerves tightened even more.
I saw more than a dozen huge black crows blocking their way, and what was even more strange was that these crows were no different from the Phoenix Clan except for their black and gray feathers. In particular, their tail feathers are as many as nine.
Could it be that they are the twelve elders that Sister Nuhuang said she said? In the flash of light, Feng Liuyang thought of this possibility. Counting carefully, these huge crows were no more, no less, a full twelve.
But how could this be, the doubts in Feng Liuyang's heart did not decrease, but became heavier. Not to mention the appearance, just by the number of their tail feathers, they can be regarded as the top combat power of the Phoenix Clan.
The Phoenix Clan has gone through the first Nirvana, and when they become adults, they have three natal tail feathers, which means that they have three thousand years of longevity and corresponding combat power; After that, if you can experience the catastrophe and successfully achieve nirvana, you will be able to grow new tail feathers, and your longevity and combat power will be improved accordingly. And the Phoenix Clan with nine tail feathers is already close to the combat power of the ancient phoenix. Among the existing Phoenix clans, it can be said that there are very few. The legendary Bai Feng Jiu'er is nothing more than that.
"Children, while you are looking for us, we are also looking for you. After this catastrophe, perhaps the Phoenix Clan will cease to exist. And you are the last bloodline of my Phoenix Clan, and you will shoulder the task of reviving my Clan. "The huge 'black crow' at the head slowly spoke, speaking in a deep old voice. Its voice seemed to travel through countless time and space, coming from another world.
"But..."Fat Aqiu had just spoken, about to ask something, but was interrupted by Feng Liuyang's eyes.
The Twelve Elders had already begun to form a circular circle, enclosing the three little phoenixes in the middle. They said with a chanting voice: "Obey the call from the Descendants, and we will awaken from the endless void..."
"Didn't you two find anything strange about the Twelve Elders?" Feng Liuyang whispered to the two little phoenixes. At this time, out of the precaution against unfamiliar things, the three little phoenixes leaned tightly together with their backs to back.
"yes, their eyes are scary, they don't have the slightest emotion. It's like... Revenants from the underworld. Yun Yun whispered.
"What nonsense, the old master said - 'The dead soul belongs to the yin and often resides in the nine shadows', how can it appear above the nine heavens." Although Fat Aqiu said this, Feng Liuyang could still feel his body trembling unconsciously.
For the unknown, no one can keep calm and moisturized. Even if they are as noble as the phoenix, when facing the word "death", they are also in deep awe.
“… In order to complete the final mission, we are willing to use our remaining obsession to seal the remaining bloodline of the Phoenix Clan. The speed and tone of the Twelve Elders' voices did not change in the slightest, but their movements were getting faster and faster. In the end, even Feng Liuyang could only barely distinguish a few vague phoenix phantoms from the dark shadows in the sky.
In Feng Liuyang's heart, he had already roughly guessed the truth of the facts. These twelve elders may really come from the Nine Shadows. They were summoned to wake up from the void and complete the task of sealing.
As for whether to seal himself and the other two little phoenixes, Feng Liuyang couldn't continue to think about it. He only felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him. Now he seems to have forgotten everything around him, and only thinks about sleeping forever.
And Fat Aqiu and Yunyun have already fallen into a deep sleep.
"Kids, sleep, sleep. When the world changes again and the heavens and the earth change hands, it will be the time when my Phoenix clan will be reborn. The Twelve Elders' voices became more and more ethereal, as if they were coming from a distant time and space. There is a kind of reassuring magic in their voices, which can even make people forget their existence.
Who am I? When this thought flashed, Feng Liuyang also fell into a complete sleep.
From the outside, the three little phoenixes that had completely fallen into a deep sleep seemed to be encased in a huge translucent black egg. In the huge eggshell of more than ten feet, there was a kind of black mist, which slowly flowed into the bodies of the three little phoenixes.
"We have completed our mission and can finally go with peace of mind." Twelve gray-haired old men appeared in front of the dome, and the cane-wielding old man at the head of them sighed lowly.
The rest of the people didn't say anything, they quietly looked at Qifeng Mountain, which had turned into scorched earth, as if they had seen through the endless vicissitudes of life. But in the end, he still couldn't hide the attachment and sadness in his eyes.
The figures of the twelve old men became lighter and lighter, while the color of the giant egg became more and more solid, and finally it almost formed a physical entity.
The blood-stained sun on the horizon shone on the land scarred by war. The last rays of light shine on the location of the Dome. The figure of the Twelve Elders seemed to be permanently integrated into the coming night.
At this moment, a blood-red sword light slashed and shone on the giant egg. The unparalleled power collapsed the ground where the giant egg was located several feet away.
"Hmph, with my dragon disobeying fate, the remnants of the phoenix are also delusional to prolong their breath!" A voice of disdain sounded, and a dark green figure fell from the sky.
The dragon rebelled and stood in front of the Dome with the Weeping Blood Knife in his hand, followed by a group of followers. Finding that the Dome showed no signs of shattering, the dragon drew his sword and was about to slash again.
"Enough, in this calamity, the evil blade in your hand should have sucked enough of the essence blood of my people, why bother with these little phoenixes that have not yet attained nirvana?" The twelve elders became a huge crow, standing in the way of the dragon's fate.
"Haha, greed is the nature of all things, where is the saying 'suck enough'. Besides, if you don't cut the grass and don't get rid of the roots, will it become a big trouble in the future? The dragon said arrogantly, and the weeping blood knife in his hand slashed down without hesitation.
"The dragon and phoenix clans are both ancient relics, do you really want to kill them all today?" The crow resisted the slash with its body. Its massive body shuddered a few times, and its form became a little illusory.
"The young and handsome people in the Phoenix clan are all in the epidemic, just a few old guys, what can you do to me?" The dragon laughed even more rampantly, and the slashing movement in his hand became faster and faster.
The already illusory body of the giant crow has become even more illusory. In the end, only thin layers of phantom can be seen.
"I, the Phoenix Clan, have fallen today. The body and the dead are alive and gone, and this evil curse is issued.
For the crow is the owl, not into reincarnation. The dragon clan will not die, and the resentment will not die. ”
With a few terrible curses, the crow's figure dissipated with a bang. The entire Qifeng Mountain fell into the endless dark night.
The heavens and the earth are silent, only the weeping blood knife in the hand of the dragon is still slashing at the black egg.
The black fog on Qifeng Mountain became thicker and thicker, gradually obscuring the starlight in the sky. At this time, Qifeng Mountain is like a huge coffin that is about to be closed.
The surroundings are quiet, and there are no birds and insects. The more dead silence it is, the more disturbing it becomes.
"Venerable Rebel, we have gained quite a lot from this battle. If you stay any longer, my subordinates are afraid..."A leather-clad girl with shark fin on her back quietly came behind Long Yifang and said respectfully.
"Hmph, I know this, but if I don't break this phoenix egg, I'm just unwilling." The dragon disobeyed the last knife and slashed at the black egg. Under this knife, the originally strong black egg was actually cut into fine fragments.
"Sali, you don't have to care. With my dragon disobeying fate, where in the world can not be treaded! The dragon put away the weeping blood knife and said to the leather-clad girl with a smile. There was a rare hint of tenderness in his tone.
"In that case, my subordinates won't bother much." After the leather-clad girl said respectfully, she turned into a dragon born on her back and disappeared into the darkness.
At this time, in the surrounding darkness, a "hissing" sound sounded. The sound grew louder and louder, and by the end it was almost deafening. From time to time, there were a few terrible screams mixed with these voices.
The dragon frowned, and he took out the Heavenly Emperor Token and tried to summon the remnants of the mountain spirits and wild monsters. But after a while, there was no response, but the screams around him became more and more terrible.
The huge golden token phantom jumped in front of the dragon's fate, not in a hurry, but this did not make his mood relax. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! The subconscious that has been honed in cruelty over the years always reminds him that the only way to end comfortably is to be wiped out.
The blood-weeping knife in his hand let out a low groan, and the bloodthirsty bright red light flickered, as if it smelled the smell of fighting.
The darkness around him grew thicker, and everything within square inches was barely visible. For no reason, the dragon pulled out the Weeping Blood Knife and turned around and slashed at the black egg with all his might.
With a loud "boom", the originally indestructible black egg actually burst open under the heavy blow. The eggshell turned into a thick black mist that swirled like a hurricane.
This was just the beginning, Qifeng Mountain in the dark, like a living monster, began to show its hideous fangs.
Around the dragon's disobedience, countless mountain spirits and wild monsters finally appeared. The strange thing is that these low-level gods are all blue-faced fangs and full of maggots, like evil ghosts crawling out of the Nine Shadows. Even if there are a few with complete bodies, their faces are gloomy, and their eyes are flashing with the blood light of choosing people and lusting.
"Withdraw!" The dragon immediately ordered in disobedience, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, isn't this a sign of the appearance of the Nine Ghosts? It seems that I still underestimated the Phoenix Clan's group of birds. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge crow's beak appeared in the darkness and pecked at the dragon and his entourage.
The dragon took the lead in disobedience, and the swing in his hand fell, and the crow's beak fell to the ground and turned into black smoke, and then melted into the darkness.
"Venerable, this group of ants is so haunting that they can't be killed at all." A strong man with a heavy sword shouted to the dragon. The heavy sword in his hand was constantly swinging, and blood was flying everywhere he went.
But these broken carrion were devoured by the surrounding mountain spirits and wild monsters in the blink of an eye. And after devouring the flesh and blood, the mountain spirit monster has become even more terrifying.
"Tiger Er, you don't need to care how many enemies you kill. All you have to do is turn into your body and lead the others all the way out. The dragon glanced at the battle situation and then ordered. His gaze never left somewhere in the dark sky.
"Roar!" The strong man turned into a hundred-foot-toothed giant tiger and ran forward frantically. Everywhere he passed, the earth shook, and the winds were blowing.
And the other retinue of the dragon who disobeyed the order also followed closely behind the saber-toothed giant tiger and rushed out in a mighty manner.
At this moment, a yellow light flashed in the sky. A yellow dragon descended from the sky, turned into a man in yellow, and fell to the dragon's fate.
"Second prince, I am Yuan Guang, the son of Huanglong. I hope you can see the love of the same clan and save the life of the little brother, and there will be heavy thanks in the future. The man in yellow said with a little fear. But looking back at the endless darkness, his tone was much firmer.
"Hahaha, it's just right!" The dragon smiled arrogantly, reached out and grabbed Yuan Guang in his hand, and threw it fiercely towards the hurricane that the black egg had turned into.
Caught off guard, Yuan Guang was already in the midst of a hurricane. The wind tore through his body, tearing his garment apart in a matter of moments.
Yuan Guang screamed in pain, and the sound of "whoop" turned into the dragon body. It's just that at this time, his dragon scales are broken, how miserable and miserable it is.
"It's now!" The dragon roared against his fate, and with the help of the huge body of the yellow dragon, he quickly flashed into the hurricane, lifting three little phoenixes and flying out.
"I've got you at last, poor little ones." The dragon conjured up a huge birdcage in his hand and packed three sleeping little phoenixes into it. The cage shrinks rapidly, and finally can be lifted with one hand. And the three little phoenixes in the cage have also changed from human form to three finches.
"You can't do this to me, I'm Yuan Guang, the son of the Huanglong lineage." In the hurricane behind him, there was a continuous and terrible dragon roar.
The dragon bowed his head slightly, teasing the caged bird. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his figure suddenly disappeared in place.
In the midst of the hurricane, after a few screams, there was no sound.
