Chapter 151: Fireworks
Suddenly, a high-pitched birdsong rang out from afar, echoing over the red plains. Wen Jin looked up sharply, he was sure that the cry was coming from the mountains, but when he looked away, he didn't see anything, only the mountains lying there like giants.
"What's that?" Wen Jin's voice resounded in the empty plain, echoing into a faint echo. He looked at Li Wuming and wanted to get an answer from his mouth, but Li Wuming only smiled mysteriously and said nothing. "It's like a stuffy gourd." Wen Jin grunted dissatisfiedly.
But they still set off with the unknown. It was a long journey that lasted an hour, but You Jiaoer and Guo Ke did not complain. Scalper-like perseverance is one thing, and on the other hand, they are also very curious about what they will be facing in a moment.
Finally, the dragon-like mountains that used to be far away are now close at hand. In the bewitching flames, four people and a dog stepped forward. Although it is a bit frightening to walk in the flames, in fact, the flame burning on the red grass has a pleasant temperature, it is a cold flame, and stepping on it is no different from stepping on ordinary grass.
Eventually, the Plains of Fire vanished behind them, and several of them stepped their feet into solid dirt. The soil here has a deep red tint, like the color of a century-old mahogany, and the broad-leaved forest with red leaves grows on it.
A few people burrowed into the forest like fish swimming into the sea. It's all uncultivated mud and rock, and it's very difficult to walk, but fortunately they are in a relatively gentle part of the mountain range, and they can keep going. But after walking for ten minutes, Guo Ke and the others, who already had little physical strength left, couldn't hold on.
But just then, they saw the goal of their trip. Li Wuming lowered his voice and whispered, "It's just ahead, you guys wait here first." With that, he stepped forward and pushed aside the tangled, tangled bushes, revealing the contents of it.
The curiosity of Wen Jin and the others overflowed like water, but they still waited in place, until Li Wuming signaled that they could move forward, and then they all rushed up. They looked through the gap in the bushes and saw what they had worked so hard to find.
"An egg?" Wen Jin showed a puzzled look on his face. Exposed to their sight was an oval-shaped egg. The eggs were covered with fiery red lines that shimmered like lava, and underneath was a delicate nest with dead branches extending out like demonic fingers.
"Ah, an egg," Li Wuming stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and the bushes in front of him were flooded with golden light, which turned into countless sharp golden wires, cutting everything in front of him like a sharp knife. When the golden light fades, the bush turns to ashes, exposing the entire egg.
"What kind of egg is this?" You Jiao'er curiously stretched out her hand to touch it, but was stopped by Li Wuming. "This egg is hot. Imagine what it feels like to put your hands in a blazing flame, you won't like it. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a firework bird's egg." Li Wuming's tense face relaxed, like a dark cloud drifting away, revealing the golden sun. He smiled and said, "An excellent material for alchemy." Blessed are you, my golden years, and the pills you have refined are enough for you to cross the boundary between immortals and mortals. ”
"Great!" You Jiaoer and Guo Ke glanced at each other, and they could see the joy that could not be hidden in each other's eyes. You Jiao'er bowed lightly, her posture fluttering, like a green lotus in full bloom: "Thank you, Master Li!" ”
Guo Ke hurriedly followed, clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Thank you, Master Li!" Li Wuming was obviously in a good mood, his face was full of smiles like sunshine, and he waved his hand and said, "It's all your luck, and my role in it is actually very small." ”
He turned to face the firework bird's egg and held out his hand. A beam of golden light climbed into his palm, making it appear to be wrapped in gold. He then touched the egg with this hand, spun it and put it into the Qiankun Ring.
"Okay......" Li Wuming smiled. But then, his face changed suddenly, and at the same time, a high-pitched birdsong rose into the sky, as if it was about to pierce a hole in the sky. "Fireworks are coming! Run! ”
In the blink of an eye, Li Wuming grabbed Guo Ke and You Jiao'er's arms, dragged them up like two little birds, and then looked at Wen Jin anxiously, stunned to find that he was staring at the ground and looking at something.
It was a feather. The feather shaft is thin and soft, and the red body is somewhat transparent, like a thin ruby, reflecting the light that shines around it, with a glittering brilliance. The feathers are a burning red with purple lines on them, like a poisonous snake climbing into a flame.
"Let's go!" Li Wuming's eager shouts appeared in his ears. Another birdsong sounded, and it could be clearly felt that it was closer, and the piercing sound implied in the chirp was like countless thin and soft needles, piercing Wen Jin's mind.
He came back to his senses suddenly, didn't think about it, grabbed the feather and ran towards Li Wuming. The hand holding the feather felt a fiery intent burrowing into it like a poisonous snake, but Wen Jin, who possessed the mark of Ling Xiao Yandu and the fire dragon, was not affected.
He ran to Li Wuming's side in three or two steps, watched him rub the Qiankun Ring, and then the flying sword "Ziyuan" spun and appeared in front of him. The purple abyss was bubbling with blazing purple light, emitting a loud sword roar, "growing" from a small flying sword into a large sword large enough to carry four people and one dog.
Wen Jin stepped on the big sword with one foot, and Rhubarb jumped up unwillingly. Li Wuming put down the two people in his hand, and pinched the complicated trick in his hand, like a butterfly wearing flowers. With Li Wuming's movements, Zi Yuan floated steadily, turning into a purple streamer and flying into the distance.
The strong wind pressure pressed Wen Jin against the flying sword, and all around him were pervasive, flood-like winds. Opening his mouth became so difficult at this time, but he still couldn't stop Wen Jin's desire to complain: "Hey, since you have a flying sword, why did you just let us walk so many ways?" ”
Li Wuming turned his head, and there was a golden glow in his eyes, as if refracting the sun. He wasn't dissatisfied, but explained, "I just found out about the existence of fireweeds, oh, those red grass seeds, but I'm not sure there will actually be fireworks." ”
"Theoretically, it should be like this, fireworks like fireweeds, and prefer the kind of red mist that bursts open, so there is a high probability that fireweeds will be accompanied by fireworks...... In this case, the only way to look for the fireworks is on foot. ”
Li Wuming was about to continue to explain, but his face suddenly changed. Another birdsong sounded, but this time it swept in like a tsunami with a rush of rage.
The firework bird discovers that his eggs are missing!
